time is with you

Chapter 50 Time is with you (5)
Just when old Aunt Zhou was in a dilemma, the door suddenly opened, and Mei Ran came out, and the little girl happily stepped forward to hug her, "Good morning, Auntie!"

"Good morning." Mei Ran kissed that soft and fragrant little face.

"Miss Ran, Happy New Year." Aunt Zhou handed her a bag of Fuju in her hand.

She took it over, "Happy New Year, Aunt Zhou."

The little girl wore two shofar braids, and smiled so much that her eyes turned into crescent moons. She held her hand and said, "Auntie will accompany me to have breakfast."

"Okay." Mei Ran stroked her hair, "Who braided your hair?"

"Dad is still sleeping, and my mother combed it for me." The child shook his head, "Isn't it ugly?"

"Actually...it's okay." Mei Ran couldn't help but want to laugh.

The child pouted, "Can Auntie comb it for me?"

Mei Ran led her into the house, and went to the bedroom to find a comb and a small mirror. She had no experience in combing people's hair, so she could only search for some tutorials on the Internet.

The little girl had her hair loose, her curly and long eyelashes hanging down, and she sat quietly and let her mess with her.

Mei Ran tried for a long time, and finally came up with a cute ball head, "See if you like it."

"It's beautiful!" The little girl tilted her head, and flicked the little hairs that hadn't been put in for a while, she put her arms around Mei Ran's neck and kissed her hard, "As long as it's made by aunt, it's beautiful! "

"Oh, it's so sweet!" Mei Ran nodded her red mouth, "Let me see if it's covered with honey."

The little girl "giggled" and laughed heartily.

Fu Shijin in the bedroom listened to the laughter coming from outside, and smiled too. The sky light that came in through the curtains reflected his side face, making it present a very gentle arc.

Worshiping ancestors on the first day of the new year has always been the custom of the Mei family. After breakfast, the group set off for the ancestral temple one after another.

The little girl has been clinging to Mei Ran, even refusing to ride with her parents in the car. Zhao Yu persuaded her for a while, but she still couldn't persuade her, so she could only let her go.

"Thank you."

Mei Ran smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll watch her."

She also likes this cute little girl from the bottom of her heart.

Mei Hongyuan and Mei Huiyuan walked in the front in the same car, followed by Mei Qingyuan and Mei Liangzhi, Mei Liangjue and his wife, and finally Mei Ran and Fu Shijin, with the little girl sitting between them.

Her short legs couldn't touch the ground, and she was a little tired hanging in the air, so she simply pressed it under her buttocks, then took out a box of banana milk from the small bag on her shoulder, pulled out the straw, poked it open and handed it to Mei Ran's lips, "Drink, aunt. "

She took out another box for herself, and "Gulu Gulu" drank it in a big gulp. She didn't seem to realize that there was another person in the car halfway through the drink. She reached into the bag again and touched, "Uncle, here it is!"

Fu Shijin was surprised that her little flower bag could hold so many boxes of milk, and took it over to thank her solemnly.

Although he never drank such a thing.

The car drove for about half an hour against the sunshine of the beginning of the new year. Mei Ran looked up and saw the white wall of Daiwa ten meters away clearly in her eyes. She turned her head and said, "Here we are."

The three of them got out of the car hand in hand, and the little girl walked in the middle, looking around with curious eyes, as if she was very interested in everything around her.

Mei Ran bent down to talk to her from time to time, and the man next to her was also handsome and smiling. In the eyes of those who didn't know this scene, they thought it was a warm family of three.

Fu Shijin was wearing a long black coat, a white shirt was exposed neatly, and there was a silver-gray knitted sweater outside the shirt, which was knitted for him by Mei Ran. He met his father-in-law not far away, and he Nod slightly.

Mei Hongyuan took a look at his sweater and smiled knowingly - it was similar in style to the one he was wearing underneath except for the color, so it seemed that it was made by the same person.

"It's almost full, let's go in."

Before entering the temple to worship, everyone has to wash their hands in a brass basin. I don’t know what was put in the water. After washing, there is still a faint fragrance on the hands, which lasts for a long time.

The little girl also obediently washed her hands and walked in behind Mei Ran.

There are tablets of ancestors enshrined inside, and the expressions of the worshipers are all printed out of a mold. They are so serious that they cannot be more serious. I don’t know if it is an illusion, and the temperature is a little lower than outside. Mei Ran is also worried that the children may not be used to it. Looking at such a scene, the excess worries in my heart disappeared in an instant.

The little girl knelt on the futon, clasped her hands together and bowed respectfully, but her voice was still milky, "Great-grandfather, great-grandfather's father, grandpa and great-grandfather, hello, I'm Mei Jiu..."

Her Chinese is not very fluent, intermittent, but the seriousness on her face looks like a big cousin, and she has an indescribable feeling.

Mei Ran and Fu Shijin also worshiped after offering incense together. Just as they stood up, Mei Liangjue and his wife walked in, and after paying homage to their ancestors, they took their daughter back.

The little girl was hugged by her father, and looked back at Mei Ran from time to time, her eyes met, she pouted and blew several kisses over.

Mei Ran's heart almost melted.

According to the usual practice, after the worship ceremony, all the men in the clan would have a short meeting, and Fu Shijin, as the son-in-law, naturally had to attend.

The women and children stayed behind, gathering together in twos and threes to chat.

"Jiujiu was never so clingy before." Zhao Yu glanced at her daughter who was playing with other children in the clan not far away, her eyes were full of the brilliance of being a mother.

Although this woman is already the mother of a three-year-old child, she is only 22 years old this year, two years younger than herself, and even a whole round younger than her eldest cousin Mei Liangjue. arrived.

This kind of combination is really surprising, but it is not so surprising. After all, it is hard not to like such a simple and sincere woman. When she speaks, her eyes have a clear childlike innocence. This kind has been well protected by parents since childhood.

"How do you know?" Zhao Yu looked at Mei Ran in surprise, her eyes smiled, as if flashing a layer of dark blue luster, "Many people say that Liangjue is like raising two daughters," she said. A trace of blush appeared on his face, "He really loves me, I'm not afraid of your jokes, sometimes I will be jealous of my daughter, no matter how busy he is at that time, he will always stop what he is doing...to coax me."

Mei Ran learned of a more three-dimensional cousin from this innocent sister-in-law. When she was amazed, she became even more interested, "Are you a Chinese-Russian mixed race?"

Zhao Yu nodded, "My father is Russian and my mother is Chinese. My mother and I will look more similar."

Mei Ran asked again, "Then how did you and my cousin meet?"

Zhao Yu blushed, "I was only 17 years old at that time, and he came to be my tutor..."

Before she could continue, the phone in her bag rang, and Mei Ran was slightly taken aback when she heard the ringtone.

"Liangjue. Well, my baby and I are outside right now, next to a big tree."

"Mom, mom!" Mei Jiu ran over suddenly, her face was flushed, she was very cute.

Zhao Yu seemed to know the reason why she came here, and turned on the music player of the mobile phone, and a gentle melody flowed out, "If Missing has a voice, it must say over and over again, I love you, tireless..."

She smiled and explained to Mei Ran that they heard this song when they went to the mall two days ago, and the little girl fell in love with it immediately. She couldn't even listen to the bedtime story these two nights, so she had to listen to the song with her mobile phone to fall asleep.

"Auntie!" The little girl jumped over, clinging to her legs, raised her head like offering a treasure, Mei Ran bent down in cooperation, and an earplug was pressed into her ear by her little hand.

"Isn't it nice?" Her eyes seemed to be dark blue upon closer inspection.

After listening to a song, the men from the meeting came back, and the little girl pressed the replay button again, squinting her eyes and listening fascinated.

Mei Liangjue squatted in front of her, whispering her nickname in Russian, "We are going back."

The child quickly hugged Mei Ran's leg, "I'm still with my aunt!"

Mei Liangjue rubbed her little ball head, and said amusedly, "Then you have to ask Auntie first if she agrees."

Mei Ran nodded in the little girl's soft eyes.

Zhao Yu felt something was wrong, and took her husband's hand, "Would it bother them too much?"

"It's okay." Mei Liangjue smiled, put her arms around her shoulders and brought her into his arms, "I think they are quite happy, so let's practice it in advance. Besides, wouldn't it be more convenient for us to live together?"

"No one is right." Zhao Yu lightly pinched his waist in embarrassment, and finally followed him into the car.

The two went for a walk around the town, spent a very pleasant afternoon without being disturbed by anyone, and when they returned home satisfied, they were just in time for dinner.

The little girl didn't notice anything unusual about her parents' late return. After eating and playing with Mei Ran for a while, she cried out that she was sleepy, so Zhao Yu accompanied her back to her room to sleep.

Mei Hongyuan was still receiving the elders of the clan, and the young people in the living room were sitting and continuing to chat. While chatting, Mei Liangzhi suddenly suggested, "It's been a long time since I played cards, are you interested in playing cards?"

He looked at Mei Liangjue again, "Brother, you've been in Moscow for so many years, don't you even recognize a few cards?"

Mei Liangjue put down the teacup in his hand, smiled lightly, "You'll know if you try it?"

In the chess and card room, the first round of contests between masters began in the new year. Mei Ran won the first round and got off to a good start.

Mei Liangzhi slapped his head, "How did I forget the lesson of blood and tears?"

It's okay if he didn't mention it, Mei Ran also remembered what he said, "I remember that you still owe me a year's salary?"

"Isn't it half a year?"

"Oh..." Mei Ran pulled a long laugh, "So you still remember."

Mei Liang later realizes that he has jumped into her trap again, and sighs angrily, it's really a pot that can't be opened and a pot to be lifted.

"East wind."

Fu Shijin then threw out a card of three.

The game was going on smoothly, and there was no obvious momentum, but after three rounds, it became clear.

Sure enough, prosperity must decline.Compared with the last time when she was very lucky, Mei Ran was lucky this time. She fired a cannon three times in a row and was cut off twice. When it came down, the chips of the two of them were almost bottoming out.

As the biggest winner at the poker table, Mei Liangzhi grinned so hard that his mouth went behind his ears, "You guys are just mediocre as a husband and wife. This is the rhythm of losing one after another. Could it be that you really answered the sentence, 'You are happy in love and frustrated in casinos? '?"

Mei Ran glanced at him, with a slight smile on her lips, "It seems to be the reason. Of course, it's the same reason, the casino is proud but the love is frustrated. Brother, I think you will still be lonely this year."

Mei Liangzhi's smile froze on his face, and when he glanced at Mei Liangjue, who had lost a bit but had a calm face, a shade suddenly crept up his back.

He originally wanted to put some water in the dark, and put some back quietly, so as to save this year's luck, but tonight he seemed to be possessed by the God of Wealth, and the good luck and money rolled in, sweeping away the Fu couple. With all the chips, his heart began to feel weak after winning.

Another lap.

"Here." Mei Liangjue pushed the last chip in his hand in front of him, and said calmly, "Proud in the casino but frustrated in love."

Mei Liangzhi almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Although she deserved to be the biggest loser tonight, Mei Ran smiled relaxedly. She looked at the second loser, "Mr. Fu, do you have anything to say?"

Outside the eaves, her skin was covered with a layer of light moonlight, and she looked more and more fair and tender. The man reached out and pinched her cheek lightly, and said with a smile, "If there is a loss here, there must be a greater gift there."

His burning eyes fell on her lower abdomen, and his big hands covered her, "Let's go back to the room."

The moon hangs high, shining on the world of mortals.

After several nights of obsession like tonight, the days quickly came to the Lantern Festival, when the spring was warm and the flowers were blooming, it finally ushered in the wedding day of the two.

The sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

As soon as it was daylight, Mei Ran got up to dress up. Probably because of the high spirits of happy events, there was no trace of tiredness on her face. Instead, there was a bit of charm in the corners of her eyes and brows, which flowed like water billows under the light orange light.

She will marry from the Mei family's house in the suburbs of city A.

Mei Huiyuan arrived yesterday. She didn't sleep much all night. She got up in the middle of the night to check whether all the items were complete. She took a break to drink two cups of tea when the rooster crowed. opened.

A few days ago, the big red wedding dress sent by Mr. Yu himself was hung on the wooden stand, and it was burning red like the morning glow in the sky. Tian Tian had already looked at it over and over again, and her phone kept "clicking", "I still This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful wedding dress!"

"Turn your head slightly." The makeup artist reminded softly.

Mei Ran looked away.

The make-up has come to the final stage, the makeup artist scrutinized it carefully for a while, she always strives for perfection, even the small details are perfect, secretly thinking, this lip color is not bright enough, I am afraid that it will not be able to suppress the fiery red wedding dress.

Immediately, I changed to another lipstick color number.

Yu Sheng last night videoed with Ye Qihan until midnight, and now he couldn't help but yawned, still unable to hide his drowsiness, so he had to go out and wash his face with cold water, and when he came back, he saw that the makeup artist had put away the tools, her eyes fell. On Mei Ran's body, it was as if a starlight floated in the dark night.

Her complexion was already fair, and her red lips gradually opened into a smile, even more like a red glow reflecting snow.

Yu Sheng was a little dizzy again, she held onto the wooden door and came in, "Honey, if I were a man, I should have fallen under your pomegranate skirt right now."

"So charming!"

Her words were too exaggerated, Mei Ran looked up at her with some embarrassment, and smiled with her lips pursed.

Tian Tian also echoed, "When Fu Dashen comes later, I must ask him to give me a big red envelope," she smiled meaningfully, "Otherwise..."

Yu Sheng agreed, "You can have this!"

Mei Ran saw that the two of them were discussing "eyes to and fro" and glanced sideways out of the window. It was already bright, and they should be on their way.

For some reason, she started to get a little nervous.

"Think about it." Mei Huiyuan pushed open the door and came in. Holding a red sandalwood box in her arms, she went straight to Mei Ran, looked at it from head to toe, said good things three times in a row, and then sat next to her. Down.

"Aunt," Mei Ran asked suspiciously when she saw her open the wooden box and see what was inside, "This is?"

Mei Huiyuan put a gold jade bracelet into her hand with a smile, her eyes peaceful, "You are going to get married today, and my aunt has nothing to give you. These bracelets are passed down from your grandmother. Unfortunately, I am not lucky enough to wear them." .”

She has someone she loves deeply, but she has never had the chance to get married in this life. She has been wandering for half her life and is doomed to be a poor man.

And because of the taboo, I couldn't send Mei Ran to marry in person, which would add a little regret, so I could only do everything in the marriage by myself, strive for perfection, and do my best as if marrying my own daughter.

"Auntie." Mei Ran called out.

Mei Huiyuan slipped another bracelet on, "Auntie, I wish you a happy marriage and stay with Shijin until you grow old."

After the words fell, she began to choke up slightly, and her eyes were half circled red.

Mei Ran held her hand and nodded heavily.

It was almost eight o'clock in the morning, and there was a faint sound of gun salute outside. It was getting closer and closer, the sunlight came in through the wooden window, and the fine dust fluttered in the light path. Fresh green, quietly bathed in the morning light.

Mei Huiyuan stood up, "The groom is here, I'll go out and have a look."

As bridesmaids, Yu Sheng and Tian Tian were already ready to go, biting their ears and wondering what they were plotting, Mei Ran quietly clenched her fists behind her, slowly calming down her slightly rapid breathing and heartbeat.

Over there, Fu Shijin got out of the car and went straight to the gate of the courtyard. A chubby boy was waiting at the gate holding a tea tray. He gave a red envelope as a gift in return, and walked in across the threshold with his long legs.

Walking up to the second floor, he came to a door, and Yu Sheng and Tian Tian stretched out their hands to stop him, "If you want to pick up the bride, you have to go through our gate first!"

Yu Sheng: "Do 99 push-ups first."

Tian Tian waved her small fist secretly, such a simple request, you are so weak, okay? !

Fu Shijin turned to look at his best man group, and said calmly, "You come."
