Chapter 369 Taste of the Year
"I thought you were gone!" Li Luo's eyes became red and swollen, as if he had a bad cold.
"I'll get you a hot towel to put on your face. You cried so much yesterday and you cried again this morning. Your eyes are swollen like walnuts!" Ling Zhuoqun's smile was also forced.
After all, he didn't expect that just by opening his mouth, Li Luo would cry until now.
I am afraid that when I am on a mission, I am still worried about them in my heart.
Ling Zhuoqun secretly made up his mind that for the sake of his child and her, he would fight against the God even if there was a chance of death!
Li Luo also thought about it for a long time, wondering whether it was because of his coming here that something went wrong with the plot, or whether he had missed something in the plot.
I hadn't noticed before that Ling Zhuoqun would go on a mission during the Chinese New Year. Could it be that her presence caused the plot to change? If so, she would not be shaken by Ling Zhuoqun's words.
"What's the matter? Are you worried that I won't come back?"
Li Luo hurried forward and covered Ling Zhuoqun's mouth: "What nonsense are you talking about? You will definitely live a long and happy life with me."
"I like these two words. For you and the child, I will do my best to come back in this mission." Ling Zhuoqun held Li Luo's hand, his eyes seemed to contain the entire galaxy.
"Okay, wipe your tears and go downstairs to eat." Ling Zhuoqun spoke to Li Luo in an extremely gentle voice.
Li Luo nodded, put on her clothes, and followed Ling Zhuoqun downstairs.
After dinner, the two of them took Ling Zhuoqun and Ling Xiaoguang to the doorstep and started pasting couplets.
"This is the upper part of the couplet. In ancient times, the right was considered superior, so it should be pasted on the left side so that it can be read correctly!" When Ling Xiaoguang and Ling Xiaolei were splitting up the couplet, they started arguing over the left and right issue.
Ling Xiaolei was a little confused: "Why can't we go left first and then right?"
Ling Zhuoqun and Li Luo looked at each other. They were still able to post couplets now, but when Ling Zhuoqun was young, it was rare to see couplets posted at home. Even this year, it was the first time that the Ling family was so festive.
Not only did Li Luo and the children sweep the house clean, but even the decorations inside became much more festive. Today, they were decorated with couplets, which really made people feel the festive atmosphere.
Li Luo pasted the entire couplet with the prepared paste and handed it to Ling Zhuoqun. Ling Zhuoqun just stretched out his hand slightly and even the horizontal scroll was easily pasted on.
Li Luo couldn't help but sigh, it turns out that being tall has such a wonderful use.
"Xiao Ling, can we all come to your house to watch TV on New Year's Eve?" When Li Luo and Ling Zhuoqun were putting up couplets, Aunt Liu came over and greeted them.
"Aunt Liu, what's wrong? Can't we watch TV at home?" Ling Zhuoqun said with a smile.
"Oh, our TV doesn't work. It only makes a buzzing sound. It's not as comfortable as your big color TV! I want to watch Zhu Shimao this year!"
Ling Zhuoqun agreed readily. In the past, there were always people coming over and wanting to borrow their big color TV, but most of the time, Ling Zhuoqun was too busy, so everyone was just itching to borrow it but didn't dare to mention it in front of Ling Zhuoqun.
But things are different now. After Li Luo came here, she became friends with all the women and the elderly in the village. While embroidering, everyone would occasionally watch TV to relieve fatigue, so there was the scene where Aunt Liu came over to borrow the big color TV.
Ling Zhuoqun naturally had no reason to refuse, and on the night of New Year's Eve, he moved the TV to his own yard. Every household was also very conscientious, bringing small folding stools, and came to Ling Zhuoqun's house, sitting down in an orderly manner.
Everyone was watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV, eating melon seeds and snacks. It was so lively that even Aunt Wang couldn't help but stand outside the gate stealthily, craning her neck to watch the big color TV.
Li Luo sat in the middle of the big color TV, chatting with the aunts and watching the Spring Festival Gala with a laugh, but when her eyes glanced at Ling Zhuoqun, there was always an indelible sadness in her eyes.
After a night of fun, firecrackers were heard one after another in every household.
The Ling family members called Ling Zhuoqun to visit the Ling family's ancestral tomb, but they did not want the two brothers Ling Xiaoguang and Ling Xiaolei to go with them.
"Xiao Ling, although Da Mao and Xiao Mao have taken your last name, their names are not listed in our Ling family's genealogy. How can they go to the grave with our family members?"
"Uncle Ling, what you said is not right. Since Da Mao and Xiao Mao are my sons, they are naturally members of the Ling family. If you don't allow Da Mao and Xiao Mao to go, then I think there is no need for me to go."
"I don't think it's necessary for me to take this worth ten thousand fire whips with me." Then, Ling Zhuoqun put the fire whips aside and went home with Ling Xiaoguang and Ling Xiaolei.
"Hey, boy, why are you so stubborn? What if the feng shui of our Ling family is destroyed?" The man called Third Uncle Ling had a very bad look on his face.
"So what? Who stipulated that only those who are on the family tree can visit the grave? Besides, isn't my sister a member of the Ling family? Since my sister is a member of the Ling family, naturally her descendants are also members of the Ling family!"
Ling Zhuoqun's argument left Third Uncle Ling speechless, and he could not help but sigh: "Alas, the Ling family is unfortunate, you will be punished!"
"Uncle Ling, you are talking so much on New Year's Day. Aren't you afraid of getting a sore on your tongue? You are so outspoken, but you exclude the Ling family and curse others. You should take care of yourself first."
Li Luo had just managed to calm down from yesterday's mood, but she didn't expect that Third Uncle Ling would just walk into her trap. If anyone said anything bad about Ling Zhuoqun in front of her, Li Luo would not be easily offended by that kind of person.
Uncle Ling was too embarrassed to speak any more, while Ling Zhuoqun secretly looked at Li Luo and laughed.
"Since Xiao Ling said to take Damao and Xiaomao with him, then let's take them." The village chief said quietly. Now no one else dared to have any other opinions.
"Village chief, you go first, I will bring some artillery over." Ling Zhuoqun greeted the village chief and winked at Li Luo.
Li Luo was a little confused. Looking at the smile on Ling Zhuoqun's face, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Ling Zhuoqun shook his head repeatedly: "I just found that you are now more like a real, emotional girl."
"When I first met you, I always thought you were a fairy who was not of this world and would never argue with others. But now, you are arguing with others for me."
"I just can't stand seeing people say bad things about you." Li Luo clenched his fists and puffed his lips angrily.
"Okay, I'll take Da Mao and Xiao Mao with me and be back soon."
Li Luo nodded: "Ya Ya and I are making dumplings at home, waiting for you to come back."
