Chapter 30, "The Lantern Festival Chapter with "Different Customs""
The author has something to say:
Xinzhang was chewed out of glass slag...
So taking advantage of the Lantern Festival, I set up a series of small sweet dumplings, which still have nothing to do with the main story.
Remember the dumplings for two on New Year's Eve?Guess how they live this time~
Stop talking nonsense, open your mouth to eat glutinous rice balls!
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival, the commercial street in the west of the city is preparing for the evening lantern festival.Pedestrians are in a hurry on the street, and people want to go home as early as possible to reunite with their families, go to the street to participate in the Lantern Festival after dinner, or sit around the living room to watch the special program of the Lantern Festival, and spend this "Reunion Festival" together.
Ye Xiu was walking among the crowd. Suddenly, an exclusive ringtone rang, and he took out his phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hey?"
"Ye Xiu Ye Xiu, when will you be home? Today is the Lantern Festival, let's guess lantern riddles and roll the Lantern Festival together!"
On the other end of the phone, Huang Shaotian's voice came continuously, Ye Xiu slightly moved the receiver away, and put the phone back to his ear after he finished speaking, and said, "Where did you know so many folk customs. "
"Of course it's my database!" Huang Shaotian was proud.
"I said, why did that guy Yu Wenzhou get you such boring materials..."
"Hey, this is the traditional culture that has been handed down in China for thousands of years! Besides... How boring is it to celebrate the festival together... Is it okay or not?" After speaking, Huang Shaotian slowed down the rhythm and his voice became weaker. Quite a few, rather than a pleading that Ye Xiu might refuse, it's better to say that there is a bit of coquettishness that cannot be refused.
"Aren't you afraid to make a whole room of flour like you did on the day of Thirty'er?" Ye Xiu teased with a smile.
"You...you don't want to make a whole room of flour! Besides, if you make it, you will clean it up. What am I afraid of!"
"Okay, okay, I'll take it. But, it's not fashionable in the south to roll the Lantern Festival, and we always make glutinous rice balls."
"Tangyuan? Is it different from Yuanxiao?"
"Yo? Isn't our Shaotian's database very powerful, do you still need me to answer?"
"You you...I'm dead!"
"Hey, don't hang up, don't hang up!"
"Why don't you hang up, listen to you taunting me?"
"If you want to hang up... you have to let me know what our family Shaotian wants to eat first, so that we can buy it and wrap it together at night, right?"
Ye Xiu deliberately emphasized the words "Our Shaotian" which made Huang Shaotian couldn't help but chuckle.
"Well... okay! For the sake of your sincerity! Your young master reluctantly told you. He heard that black sesame is the most authentic, so he wants to eat black sesame!"
"Okay, get ready, Pier, and wait for me at home."
Ye Xiu hung up the phone, put the phone in his pocket, smiled unconsciously, and murmured, "Really, like a child..."
After buying a convenient semi-finished black sesame stuffing at a convenience store, Ye Xiu hailed a taxi and headed home, as if he knew he was going home, the road was very smooth, there was only one red light along the way, and it was only 15 In minutes, he was already standing at the door of the house.
Taking out the key to open the door, he saw Huang Shaotian sitting at the table and fiddling with something. There were some long strips of colored paper spread out on the table.
"Why did you come back so early!" Huang Shaotian looked surprised, and hugged the things in his hands very quickly.
"Don't you want to see our Shaotian sooner... What? You don't want to see me sooner?" Ye Xiu changed his shoes and walked to Huang Shaotian's side, "What are you trying to do?"
"Paste the lantern... I thought I could finish and hang it up before you came back, so I'll give you a surprise... Who would have thought that you would come back so early..." Huang Shaotian honestly opened his arms, revealing the half-pasted lantern stand.
"I see..." Seeing Huang Shaotian's disappointed face, Ye Xiu smiled, and fondled his hair, "Now I'm going to the kitchen to make glutinous rice balls. I'm looking forward to your surprise." After that, after Huang Shaotian kissed him on the cheek, he walked into the kitchen with Yuanxiao stuffing.
After dinner, Ye Xiu went to the kitchen to cook glutinous rice balls, while Huang Shaotian lit the three lanterns he had made, looked around, and found that there was no place to hang them at home, so he simply surrounded them in a circle and placed them on the dining table. middle.
After a while, Ye Xiu came out of the kitchen with two bowls of glutinous rice balls. He couldn't help being dazed when he saw the lantern in the middle of the table.
"I said Shaotian, are you a lantern or a big candle?"
"Of course it's a lantern! A lantern! Have you ever seen a candle that looks like this!"
"Since it's a lantern, didn't your powerful database tell you that the lantern should be hung up instead of placed on the table?" Ye Xiu put the glutinous rice balls on the table, sat down and fiddled with the one closest to him twice lantern.
"Of course I know that lanterns should be hung...but there is no place to hang them at home." Huang Shaotian seemed aggrieved.
Ye Xiu raised his head and looked around the living room, and said, "Well...it seems that it really can't be hung up. Since he has already played the role of the candle, it's just...that's fine!"
As he spoke, he pulled the three lanterns side by side into a semi-arc, got up and walked to the wall, and turned off the lighting in the room with a "snap". As the room fell into darkness, the soft halo of the three lanterns reflected on Huang Shaotian's face. superior.
"How about it, did the mood change all of a sudden?" Ye Xiu asked with a smile.
"Cut, boring..." Huang Shaotian turned his head away awkwardly, scooped up the bowl of glutinous rice balls in front of him and ate another.
Ye Xiu sat back at the table, entered into the halo, and asked, "How is it, isn't your workmanship good?"
"Mm... delicious, the pastry master's craftsmanship is beyond words!" Huang Shaotian chewed the glutinous rice balls in his mouth, exaggeratedly gave a thumbs up, and then took out two pieces of paper as if he suddenly remembered something .
"what is this?"
"Lantern riddles! Otherwise, why hang lanterns?"
Huang Shaotian put glue on the upper strip of the paper with a face of reason, and was about to stick it on the lantern when Ye Xiu grabbed his hand.
"There are a lot of people guessing lantern riddles and posting the titles. In order to let everyone have a choice, there are only three lanterns and the two of us. The titles are all given by you. I guess it by myself. It's so boring."
"Then... what should I do?"
"If you want to play so much, um... this way!" Ye Xiu took the note from Huang Shaotian's hand and put it aside, and pulled the two lanterns at both ends to each side, "Where are these two lanterns? One lamp for each person represents an opportunity to pose a question, and each person presents a lantern riddle to the other party to guess, if the question is asked on the spot, the other party will not know the answer, how about it?"
"Okay, okay! Then I'll come first!" Huang Shaotian pulled the lantern beside him, and said one of the lantern riddles he wrote on the note before, "High-level animals go out of the sea, and second-class animals cross the ocean. I see third-class animals, stay on the mountain and never go to the sea! Guess! What is it?~”
"Hmm... is it a monkey?" Ye Xiu pondered for half a second and said.
"Damn it! You're too fast! I'm quite confident about this question..."
Huang Shaotian muttered in surprise, but he saw Ye Xiu leaning forward and blowing towards the lantern next to him. The halo that was originally the width of the three dining tables instantly disappeared.
"Huh? Why did you blow it out?" Huang Shaotian stared blankly at Ye Xiu, with a look of confusion.
"Huh? That's how lantern riddles are played. The one who gets the right guess loses, so the lantern that symbolizes him will be extinguished. Didn't your database tell you?" Ye Xiu said seriously.
Huang Shaotian shook his head and said, "No...does the gameplay differ from place to place?"
"Okay, now, this lantern is yours, and you will give me another chance to pose a question soon." Ye Xiu said and moved the middle lantern a few inches towards Huang Shaotian's hand.
"Huh? Can I have a second chance?"
"Yes! Because... I won't lose." Ye Xiu smiled provocatively.
"You, you, you... so arrogant and careful, it will be ugly to lose in a while!"
"Okay, I'm going to make a question now. In order to make me lose ugly, you have to be very good."
Ye Xiu straightened his body solemnly, and said, "Being more innocent and kind than humans, more affectionate than machines; you can use the kitchen at home, and you can win the battlefield when you attack outside."
"Gone?"
"Gone."
"Hmm...humans...machines...can cook and fight wars. It sounds like a kind of comprehensive artificial intelligence, but it doesn't make sense to be sentimental..."
"Would you like a special reminder?"
"Any more hints?" Huang Shaotian, who was lost in thought, beamed with joy.
"You can bribe the examiner once, and you'll have it~" Saying that, Ye Xiu rubbed the chair in front of Huang Shaotian twice, and stretched his face towards Huang Shaotian.
Huang Shaotian was stunned for a moment, rubbed his fingers with wandering eyes, kissed him quickly on the cheek, and said with a blushing face, "Okay, okay! The bribery is over, hurry up and give me a hint!"
"Reminder..." Ye Xiu stretched out his hand to touch the place where he was kissed just now, and said with a smile, "He is obsessed with me, and I feel like I have found a treasure; others are not envious, but only... Ye Xiu There is. Come, tell me what is the answer to the riddle?"
Huang Shaotian blushed and bit his lower lip, only then did he realize that he had been tricked, but there was a faint warmth in his heart.
"What's the matter? It's so difficult to guess?" Ye Xiu dragged the chair and moved in front of Huang Shaotian again, closing the distance between the two of them, and his smile grew stronger, "If you don't know... I'll announce the answer ah."
"Then...then you announce it!" Huang Shaotian said with a firm mouth, secretly wanting to hear Ye Xiu admit that he was the one who "got the treasure".
"The answer is..." Ye Xiu leaned forward and blew out the lantern next to Huang Shaotian, and whispered the answer in his ear, with a charming and magnetic voice.
"Huang Shaotian..."
Lips pressed together, Ye Xiu wrapped his arms around Huang Shaotian's waist with one hand, and clasped the back of his head with the other, gradually deepening the kiss until he felt the hand on his chest was a little soft, so he let him go gently.
"Shaotian, look, now that the lantern riddles are over, how about... how about we roll the Lantern Festival?" Ye Xiu wiped the silver thread from the corner of Huang Shaotian's mouth with his thumb, with a doting look on his face.
"Get rid of Yuanxiao? Didn't we just eat glutinous rice balls just now? Yuanxiao and glutinous rice balls are not the same thing?" Huang Shaotian asked in a daze, obviously half-heartedly still not recovered from the bewildered kiss just now. down state.
"Cough...the customs are different in different places, the specifics...it's not easy to explain, let's...practice to gain true knowledge...~" After speaking, Ye Xiu smiled slyly, blew out the last lantern, and embraced One of Huang Shaotian's hands around his waist was strong, and the other hooked under his leg, and hugged him horizontally.
Outside the window, the stars are dotted, and a round of bright moon hangs high in the dark blue night sky.
It is said that "the fifteenth moon is sixteen circles",
Believe in the moon tomorrow,
It will definitely be bigger, rounder, and brighter than today's.
