Looking at the exquisite dishes on the table, Lu Yuan wondered if he was still in the apocalypse.

In a trance, he actually felt like he was back before the end of the world.

When the last dish was served on the table, Lu Ma said softly.

"The food is here! Our family finally got together so well, Dad, just say a few words!"

It took a long time for the old man to slowly open his eyes, and tears in the corners of his eyes showed some oldness under the light of the light.

The 60-year-old man was silent for a long time, and finally he sniffed his own tears, and smiled with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Haha, people are getting old, it is inevitable to be a little sad, please don't accept my influence!"

Grandma also shed tears and patted the back of Grandpa's hand gently to complain.

"Finally, the whole family is gathered so well, why are you crying! It made me cry too! Hurry up, let's have a meal after we're finished!"

Now they are two families and for the sake of one family. There is no barrier between them. Basically, they have nothing to say. Lu's mother and Xiaoshan's mother are also a little emotional. They quietly wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes and smiled at each other. laugh.

"Ahem! Then just say a few words!"

The old man finally spoke.

"This damn eschatology! How many disasters it has brought us, I think we didn’t experience this feeling in the years when we were starving. At that time, I didn’t say what eschatology was. Now, I finally know. What is the end of the world! But, fortunately, our family has survived! It is not easy! It is not easy! Now, we can gather here for a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, the old man, I am also content! Come! This first glass of wine, I respect all my family! Over the past few years! You have worked hard!"

After speaking, the old man took the wine glass and drank it.

After this glass of wine, the old man suddenly burst into tears, but there was a smile on his face. He was moved by tears.

Everyone on the table was also moved. In the past four years, they have experienced all the disasters that a person can never experience in his life. Only everyone knows how much hardships there are.

"Bang" the wine glasses touched each other, everyone drank it all at once, Xiaoshan was flushed with the hot white wine's spicy cheeks, and the corner of her eyes didn't know if she was touched by the spicy wine or not.

Then, Grandpa picked up the wine glass again.

"The second cup of wine, I plan to respect Lu Yuan and Xiaoshan! You two gave us hope! Without you, the old woman and I would have been unable to survive long ago!"

As soon as these words came out, both Lu Ma and Lu Dad looked unhappy.

"Dad! What are you talking about for the festive season!"

"Yes! Dad, hurry up! You and Mom are still healthy! At least you have to live for a few more decades! You haven't had a great grandson yet!"

Lu Yuan and Xiaoshan also hurriedly stood up.

"Grandpa! You and grandma have to live a hundred years! Nothing will happen! Our children will have to see their grandpa in the future!"

"Yeah, grandpa, you will still be busy at that time! Maybe you have to tell your great-grandson about your favorite past!"

After listening to the old man, he smiled suddenly, stroking the long beard on his chin and laughed: "Okay! I'll wait for the old man! I won't say that word anymore!"

"That's right! Old man! There is nothing difficult to get through! So many catastrophes and catastrophes have been passed by us! Is there anything else we can't survive!"

"That's right, old man, let's not talk about this during the festival!"

So everyone stood up and raised their glasses to meet again.

The old man squinted his eyes sharply by the spicy liquor, and it took a long time to regain his strength."Good wine! Really good wine! Come! The third cup! Celebrate our New Year, and hope that in the new year, our family will be healthy and safe!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses again.

After three glasses of wine, everyone was smiling. They no longer talked about the unhappy things, but talked about some good things that happened recently.

The lights are on all the time, and the camp is also peaceful. Everyone is living the New Year's Eve in the last days of own.

...

As the old saying goes, the first month is not a year, although there are no fireworks and firecrackers in the last days, no red lanterns, and no lively markets.

But everyone took out the Spring Festival couplets, a symbol of the Chinese New Year, and started posting them.

In the past, Spring Festival couplets were often based on the theme of looking forward to family harmony and beauty, and a smooth career. However, this new year in the last days still did not abandon this tradition.

Everyone felt the black and posted the Spring Festival couplets in front of their homes early in the morning.

Although I just randomly found some red paper, and then used charcoal to write the blessings for the New Year on the paper, there was still a feeling of Spring Festival couplets.

Early in the morning, Lu Yuan and Xiaoshan were awakened by the sound outside.

"Happy new year! Wife!" Lu Yuan looked sideways at Xiaoshan before him, and sent the first greeting of the new year with a smile on his face.

Xiaoshan woke up in a vague way, with a sweet smile on her mouth, trapped on Lu Yuan's body like an octopus.

"Happy new year, husband!"

The two kissed for a long time before they parted reluctantly.

At this time, Lu Ma's shout came from outside the door.

"Xiaoyuan, Xiaoshan, get up to eat dumplings!"

Gently patted Xiaoshan's ass.

"Get up! See who can eat sweet dumplings this year!"

"That must be me! It must still be me this year!"

They woke up after they wrestled on the bed for a while.

Seeing Lu's mother and Xiaoshan's mother making dumplings in front of a big pot, Xiaoshan hurried forward and yelled sweetly.

"Two mothers! Happy new year!"

"Haha! This girl is so sensible! Come on! This is your new year's money!"

With that said, Lu Ma took out a red envelope wrapped in a red letter from her pocket, with the word "Ping'an" written on it.

"Yeah! There are red envelopes! Thank you mom!" Xiaoshan brought the red envelopes with joy, and then stepped forward to hug Lu's mother.

"You stinky girl, how old are you like a child! Come on! This is your red envelope!" Although Xiaoshan's mother said that Xiaoshan is like a child, she still took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Xiaoshan. Hands.

"Two mothers are auspicious for the New Year!" Lu Yuan, not to be outdone, shouted afterwards.

For this New Year's blessing, both Lu's mother and Xiaoshan's mother were slightly taken aback, and then they covered their mouths and laughed.

"This kid! We don't understand these things! If I hadn't watched a lot of Qing palace dramas, I would have almost forgotten!" Lu Ma took out a red envelope with Ruyi Scepter from her pocket and stuffed it into Lu Yuan's hand. inside.

Xiaoshan's mother also looked at Aunt Own's happier as she watched, took out a red envelope and stuffed it into Lu Yuan's hand.

"Xiao Yuan, you have to hurry up!" Xiao Shan's mother whispered.

Lu Yuan was taken aback for a moment and immediately understood what was going on. The old face blushed and smiled: "Still working hard! Haha!"

Looking at the red envelope in his hand, Lu Yuan was startled for a while. Although the red envelope contained banknotes that could not be spent at all, it still gave him a feeling of returning to his childhood.

Although Lu Yuan’s family was not particularly rich when he was young, his parents would also give him New Year’s money during the Chinese New Year, but the face value was mostly ten or twenty, which has been able to make Lu Yuan happy for a long time. of.

But now he has not received the red envelope for many years, and once again saw it as if the last time he received the red envelope was yesterday.

Lu Yuan carefully put the red envelope in the own dimension space. He planned to keep this red envelope as a souvenir. This was the first red envelope he received as an adult, and its significance exceeded the value of the red envelope.

Xiaoshan also cherished the red envelope and stuffed it into the inner pocket of her clothes, with tears still in her eyes.

"I miss my childhood!"

So the two found their father again, and both received red envelopes.

The grandma added new food to the chickens and ducks at home early in the morning, which means a good New Year, while the grandpa discussed with a few old men at the door how to write the Spring Festival couplets.

"This year's significance is extraordinary! Throw away the beautiful yearning in the family, you have to add a better meaning!"

"Yes! Lao Kong didn't belong to the Calligraphy Association before! Why haven't you come to this point?"

"Hurt! Lao Kong has been writing Spring Festival couplets since last night! It is estimated that this point should be coming soon!"

Several elderly people gathered together to discuss how to write something to the door couplet at the entrance.

Suddenly, Master Lu spoke for a long time and said, "I have it!"

Several elders immediately focused on Lu Ye.

"Lao Lu has any good ideas? Tell me!"

"Yeah! Don't hang our appetite! Hurry up and talk about it!"

Lu Ye spoke unhurriedly and said: "This is the upper league, and all the mountains and rivers are broken in Kyushu.

As soon as this remark came out, several old men were taken aback at the time.

Lu Yuan also didn't expect that his father would have such a literary talent.

Immediately shouted: "Good! Good couplet!"

Hearing what Lu Yuan said, everyone at the scene began to applaud.

Xiaoshan was also a little surprised. She whispered in Lu Yuan's ear: "Didn't you say that grandpa didn't go to school when he was a child? This...it's not like someone who didn't go to school!"

"Um... Maybe it's from a later student! Haha!"

At this time, there was a round of applause from a distance.

"Old Lu really didn't expect me! You still have this kind of talent! Jiuzhou has broken through the mountains and rivers, and the people are in the same heart and the sun and the moon! It's really good! Haha!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that an old man in a cyan gown was holding a book under his arm and walking towards this side with Four Treasures of the Study such as rice paper and a brush in his hand.

"Old Kong, you are here! How long have we been waiting for you!"The old man in Qingshan said apologetically: "Oh! This is not New Year! There are so many people who ask to write, and I can't shirk it for a while!"

"Hurry up! This is where you have the highest calligraphy level! Hurry up and write down this couplet of Lao Lu!"

"Don't worry! I'm here!"

After speaking, the old man put the scroll in his hand aside, and then everyone set the table and threw the rice paper on it.

Lu Yuan helped to grind, while Xiao Shan stood on tiptoes and looked inward.

The crowd is increasing, and most of them come to watch Kong Lao write couplets, and some come to ask for words.

The jet black ink gleamed in the moonlight, exuding a scent of ink, and everyone held their breath and looked at Kong Lao's hand.

Langhao's brush was dipped twice on the inkstone, and the excess ink was gently scraped off.

Old Kong said: "This couplet is magnificent and reveals our human determination not to yield to disasters. It should be written in italics! It can even demonstrate the majestic momentum of this sentence! It also represents the determination of our Chinese people!"

With that, Kong Lao gently rolled up his sleeves with his left hand, his right hand trembling slightly, and he paused in the air for two seconds.

Kong Lao's hand no longer trembles, and then the whole person's temperament is as indestructible as a sculpture.

At this moment, the soft brush has turned into a sharp steel knife, and the brush strokes on the rice paper, the movement like clouds and flowing water makes people look bright.

Kong Lao wrote the couplet in one sigh, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and then the applause became more and more enthusiastic.

Everyone began to applaud.

"Frame it and stick it on the boulder in Taniguchi! Let everyone see it!" Lu Yuan said.

Someone immediately began to mount the couplet with something. Soon, the couplet was affixed to the huge rock in Taniguchi, and people still hung a string of red lanterns on it. Although it was a little shabby, it still looked particularly festive.

Then, Lu Yuan took Kong Lao to the house and wrote a couplet. After posting it, Lu Yuan proposed to let Kong Lao eat dumplings at home before leaving, but Kong Lao refused.

"I appreciate your kindness, and there is a grandson in the family waiting for me to go back! I won't bother you! Give everyone a New Year!"

Lu Yuan hurriedly responded.

"Master Kong, thank you! Xiaoshan, go get something for Master Kong!"

Xiaoshan quickly agreed and turned back to the storage room. Old man Kong's mouth grew wide and wanted to refuse. He was a literati, and literati usually have the character of owning. As for what is not to be eaten by the food, or the merit is not to be rewarded. Category.

However, the current situation still made Kong Lao unable to refuse. He also wanted to live a good life, and also wanted his only family and grandson to live a good year.

"Grandpa Kong, this is some braised beef, and some vegetables and fruits! Take it home! Thank you for writing these couplets for us!"

Old man Kong took the bag tremblingly, his expression a bit unspeakable.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

Lu Yuan waved his hand: "Father Kong, go back soon! I also wish you a Happy New Year!"

"Hmm! Okay! Then I won't bother!"

Having said that, Old Man Kong turned around and nodded to Master Lu again before leaving Lu Yuan's home.

Looking at the back of Old Man Kong, Lu Yuan's family felt indescribable.

"Okay! Let's eat dumplings!" Lu Ma shouted.
