The first day of the first lunar month was a traditional festival for the people of China. It was the most grand and lively traditional festival in China. The Spring Festival had a very long history. It originated from the Yin Shang period, when the gods and ancestors were worshiped at the beginning and end of the year. Today, it became a festival for family reunion, family happiness, respect for the elderly and filial piety. No matter how far away they were from home, their children would go home and gather around the old man to celebrate a happy and peaceful year with him.
It was already the 24th of December. Yan Yihu said,"The Spring Festival is coming soon. Your parents are looking forward to you coming home for the New Year. Go back quickly!"”
"What year is it?" Liu Junfang asked.”
"This year is 1998!”
"What year is it according to the lunar calendar?" Liu Junfang asked.”
Yan Yihu touched his forehead and said,"Yes, yes, yes!" This year is the year of the tiger."
Liu Junfang said,"It's so interesting to spend the New Year with a tiger!"”
Yan Yihu said,"The year of the tiger is the time for the tiger to show its might. Aren't you afraid that the tiger will eat you?"”
"Haven't you heard of the saying 'A vicious tiger won't eat its cubs?' No matter how powerful a tiger was, it would not eat its own children. I'm your child, what am I afraid of?”
"Of course, you're my child. I definitely won't hurt you.”
Liu Junfang said," I'm already your child. You're my father. Why are you still urging me to go to that family in the countryside for the New Year?"”
Yan Yihu said,"You're my precious daughter. I can't bear for you to leave me." However, you can't forget your biological parents 'kindness in raising you. You're the apple of Mom and Dad's eyes. No matter how far you go, they'll always miss you. Especially during the Spring Festival, if you don't go home and reunite with your family, your parents will miss you. The whole family is looking forward to you, hurry home!”
Liu Junfang said,"I'm leaving Dad alone. Aren't you lonely?"”
"Don't worry! I can handle it."
Liu Junfang said,"Dad, how are you going to celebrate the New Year alone if I leave?"”
"My wife and children are in America and can't come back. I'm planning to go to America for the New Year."”
Liu Junfang said,"Take me to America for the New Year!" I haven't met Godmother and Brother yet.”
"Godmother and your brother still don't know that I have a daughter by my side," said Yan Yihu.”
"What does Dad mean?" Liu Junfang asked. Are you afraid that I, a girl from the countryside, will embarrass you?”
"No, no, no! You're smart, beautiful, and cute. Godmother and brother will definitely like you. It's just that the procedures for going abroad are more troublesome.”
"It's not troublesome for you to go abroad, but it's troublesome for me to go abroad?" Liu Junfang asked.”
"It's easier for me to get a visa because I'm their immediate family, but it's more difficult for you to get a visa because you're an adopted child.”
Liu Junfang pouted and said,"It seems that this wild child I picked up is always unpopular. I can't even go abroad to visit my relatives."”
"You're my biological daughter in my heart. You're even closer than my biological daughter." Yan Yihu hurriedly comforted her. We live together, so it's reasonable for us to spend the New Year apart to accompany them. We'll still be together after the Spring Festival. What does it matter?“
Liu Junfang pulled Yan Yihu's hand and shook it hard, saying coquettishly,""Not good, not good! I don't want to be separated from Dad. I'll go wherever Dad goes.”
Yan Yihu touched her ponytail affectionately and said," Girl, you're an obedient child. You should be sensible when you grow up. You should go back to your hometown to spend the New Year with your parents!"”
Liu Junfang thought,"It's just a few days before the New Year, why give him a difficult problem?" She did miss her parents, brothers, and sisters at home.”So she asked,"When is Dad coming back from America?"”
"I'll definitely be back before the tenth day of the first lunar month," Yan Yihu said.”
"Since it's not convenient to take me to America, I'll have to go home for the New Year," Liu Junfang said.”
"Is the girl a little unhappy?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Liu Junfang said,"Of course I'm not happy to leave Dad!"”
"Don't you miss your biological parents?" Yan Yihu asked.”
"How can I not?" Liu Junfang said. But I want to spend the new year with you more.”
Yan Yihu said,"Girl, you usually accompany me. It's only right for you to accompany your parents during the New Year."”
"Since I can't go to America with you, I'll go home tomorrow."”
Yan Yihu said,"This girl is really a good child!"”
Liu Junfang said goodbye to Yan Yihu and happily returned home. Mom and Dad were very happy to see Xiaofang's bright and sunny face. The younger siblings held their elder sister's hand and pestered her to tell her stories about the city. As her mother prepared for the new year, she recalled the past.
Mom thought for a long time and said to Dad,"Father, do you still remember what happened last year? How did you spend the Spring Festival last year?"
Dad said earnestly," Last year's disaster will never be forgotten. The house collapsed, the leg injury was difficult to treat, and we were in debt. We had no rice and noodles at home. We made some dumplings, but we couldn't bear to eat them. We gave them to the children. On the first day of the new year, we ate sweet potatoes. I want to cry just thinking about it now."
"Where did today's good day come from?" We can't forget our benefactor. I wonder how Xiaofang's godfather is doing? Call Xiaofang over and ask!"
Xiaofang heard her mother calling her and immediately ran back to sit beside her mother.
"How's your godfather?" his mother asked.”
Xiao Fang said,"Goddad is in good health and very energetic!"”
"Where is he spending spring this year?" asked his mother.”
"His wife and children are in America. I heard that he's going to America for the New Year."”
His mother shook her head." Silly girl. Americans celebrate Christmas, but never Spring Festival."”
Xiaofang said,"Yes! He must be afraid that I'll miss him, so he wants me to go home and spend the New Year with you.”
"Your godfather is one of the few good people in the world," said his father. If he doesn't go to the United States, you can spend the New Year with him! She must be very lonely during the New Year alone.”
Xiaofang said," Goddad is afraid that you will miss me and persuade me to go home for the New Year. You are afraid that Goddad will be lonely and persuade me to go back to Sanhe for the New Year. I don't know who I should spend the New Year with."”
His father said," Now that you're a member of the Yan family, you should be spending the New Year at the Yan family's house. You should just come and visit us."”
Xiaofang said," Mom and Dad gave birth to me and raised me for 17 years. It's hard to repay the kindness of raising me in life. How can you leave just like that?"”
"You're our biological son. We won't blame you if you don't stay at home with us. Your godfather saved our lives, so we have to repay him. It's too much to ask your godfather to spend the New Year alone in Sanhe. If you want, we can go home anytime. It's a small matter whether we're home for the New Year or not. We won't pick a fight.”
Liu Junfang felt that what her parents said made sense. She immediately ran to the village committee to call Yan Yihu."Dad, how are you?"
"I'm fine!" Yan Yihu said. Everything is fine, don't worry!"
"You're not going to America, are you?" Liu Junfang asked.”
Yan Yihu wasn't mentally prepared to lie, so he said,""Why did you go so far away for the New Year?”
Liu Junfang said happily,"I'll go back to spend the New Year with you right away. I'll go back tomorrow!"”
Yan Yihu hurriedly said,"Girl, don't come. Be obedient!"……”
Before Yan Yihu could finish speaking, Liu Junfang hung up the phone. A beeping sound came from the receiver.
The next day, Liu Junfang got up very early and took the first long-distance bus in Fengyang County. She arrived at Sanhe's home at 12 o'clock at noon.
Yan Yihu was the manager of the Three Rivers branch of Tianyi Automatic Technology Development Co., Ltd. The company had a seven-day holiday, and many work arrangements had to be made. They had to pay a courtesy visit to their partners and major customers. It was very difficult to go home for dinner these few days before the Spring Festival.
After Liu Junfang got home, she was busy cleaning and preparing for the New Year. She didn't have to worry about it in her hometown. Her parents were in charge of the preparations for the new year. She just had to be obedient and work. It was his first time in Sanhe City for the New Year, so of course he would be busy for a few days. Liu Junfang thought," I came to Sanhe mainly to let Dad have a happy New Year. I must think of a way to make Dad happy. I will have a surprise when Dad comes in."”
Yan Yihu returned to Liu Junfang's house at 7:30 pm on Chinese New Year's Eve. As soon as he entered, he saw Liu Junfang standing obediently at the door. She stood at attention and gave her a military salute."Hello, Daddy! Please guide me." Then, she helped him take off his coat and hung it on the hanger. Yan Yihu walked around the dazzling room with his hands behind his back. There were two large balloons hanging in the living room.
"A hero of a generation is full of tiger spirit, a spring swallow lets go of the orioles."
Yan Yihu said," This couplet has a profound meaning. One of them is Yan Yihu, who is majestic and brave, and the other is Liu Junfang, who is full of spring and can sing and dance. They will form a happy, warm and harmonious family. Good, that's great!"
Yan Yihu then looked at the other balloon.
"The father is in the year of the tiger, and the daughter is in the spring."
"Dad, you have to work hard to manage the company well in the new year, so that the company's profits will grow and develop rapidly. My girl is getting prettier and cuter. Not bad, the artistic conception is not bad."
Yan Yihu walked into the bedroom. There were also two balloons with a couplet written on them.
"Father, today, the whole family is adding to the tiger's spirit."
"When a woman enters the Tiger Sect, the whole house is filled with laughter."
Yan Yihu said," Alright. The 'Tiger Gate' here has a double meaning. It's my 'Tiger Gate' and the 'Tiger Gate' of the year of the tiger. You'll enter two Tiger Gates at once. In the blink of an eye, it's the year of the tiger again. I, this old and lazy tiger, should rouse my spirit and display my tiger's might. However, it was impossible to celebrate the new year without laughter. The girl is accompanying me for the new year this year. The house is full of laughter.”
There were two big red lanterns hanging on the balcony. The rooms were clean and tidy. The terrado floor was as bright as a mirror, and there were a few colorful lights on the walls. The house was filled with a festive atmosphere.
Yan Yihu patrolled the room and nodded in praise. He patted her shoulder and said happily,"The girl is still the best! That kid of mine can't come up with these tricks.”
Liu Junfang smiled playfully." The fun is yet to come. Let's eat dumplings first!"”
She served the dumplings like a gust of wind. "Daddy, I'll give you nine dumplings first. I wish you a long life!”
"What's so special about these nine dumplings?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Liu Junfang said,"The word 'Nine' has two meanings. First of all, nine was the largest number in the single digits, meaning longevity. In addition, the homonym of the word "nine" was "long", which also meant longevity.”
Yan Yihu picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth to chew slowly to taste the taste. He praised,"The taste is very good. How did a child like you learn to make dumplings?”
"Haven't you heard of it, Dad?" Liu Junfang asked. The children of the poor should take care of themselves early. Usually, my father is busy in the fields, and my mother is not in good health. I will do all the work at home. The dumplings I made aren't as delicious as the dumplings at the Five Continent Hotel, right?”
"The dumplings made by the girl suit my taste," said Yan Yihu. There was a warm and pleasant kinship in it, as well as a refreshing fragrance.”
Liu Junfang scooped another ten dumplings and placed them in front of Yan Yihu. "There's too much. I can't eat it anymore.”
Liu Junfang said,"Dad, listen to me." These 10 dumplings symbolized sincerity, affection, sweetness, and perfection. Among the ten dumplings, there was a dumpling with sugar. Whoever ate this dumpling had to agree to one of the other's requests.”
"This request should be something that the other party can do.”
"Yes, of course it can't be an unreasonable request," said Liu Junfang. To be fair, I divided the dumplings into two portions. Dad picked one first.”Yan Yihu randomly picked a portion and the two of them ate at the same time.
When Yan Yihu ate the fifth dumpling, he realized that it was a sweet dumpling. He said,"I have the dumplings."”
Liu Junfang said,"Daddy ate sweet dumplings. Please promise me one thing."”
Yan Yihu said,"As long as I can do it."”
Liu Junfang said,"Daddy, don't ever chase me away. I want to accompany Daddy for a lifetime!"”
Yan Yihu shook his head helplessly." Silly girl. How can there be a daughter who'll spend her entire life with her father and not get married?" That's it. I'll accompany my father before I get married.”
"Good!" Liu Junfang said. Does Daddy mean what he says?"
Yan Yihu said,"A gentleman's word is a promise.”
"Good!" Liu Junfang said. I'm not getting married in this life. I'll always be with you. You can't go back on your word!"
"Silly child, how can there be a daughter who doesn't want to marry?" Yan Yihu hurriedly said. She'll be my good daughter even if she marries someone!"
Liu Junfang said,"Why must my daughter marry someone?" I'm not going to get married. I'll serve my father for the rest of my life.”
Yan Yihu smiled and said,"Forget it! You're still young. It's not time to talk about marriage. Let's talk about marriage later!”
Liu Junfang said,"When the time comes, it will be my words. I will never marry and will always serve my father."”
Yan Yihu didn't argue with her about the topic of " Getting Married ". He thought to himself,""You're still young and don't want to get married. When you grow up, you'll naturally have to consider the problem of getting married.”
Liu Junfang said strangely,"I just made a mistake. Can Dad forgive me?"”
Yan Yihu said," How can a person not make mistakes? Tell me, I can forgive any mistake you make."”
Liu Junfang said,"I'm sorry. I lied to Dad."”
Yan Yihu patted his forehead and said,"Ah! I know. We both ate the sweet dumplings, but you didn't say it.”
Liu Junfang said,"Dad is so smart!"”
Yan Yihu said," I thought I was smart. I feel a little wronged to be deceived by a silly girl like you. Can you let me lie to you once?"”
"When did you lie to me?" Liu Junfang asked.”
"Let's start now," Yan Yihu said.”
Liu Junfang said,"I'd like to see how my father lies to me."”
"Go to the bathroom and leave for a minute," Yan Yihu said.”
"Okay," said Liu Junfang. As expected, Liu Junfang went to the bathroom.
When Yan Yihu saw Liu Junfang walk into the bathroom, he said,""Little girl, come back quickly!"
"Dad, didn't you want to lie to me?" Liu Junfang said. Let's begin!"
"Girl, you've been deceived.”
Liu Junfang was stunned for a moment and said,"Ah!" Asking me to go to the bathroom was a scam. Alright, let's each be deceived once and call it even. The Spring Festival Gala has already started. Should we watch TV or play games?”
Yan Yihu said," The Spring Festival Gala is the same every year. There's nothing interesting about it. It's fine if we don't watch it."”
Liu Junfang said,"The Spring Festival Gala will be rebroadcast tomorrow. Let's play games!"”
"What new tricks does the girl have? Hurry up and tell me!" Yan Yihu asked.”
Liu Junfang said,"The first game is Top Apple." The rules of the game were as follows: put an apple on your head and walk around the table three times. If the apple did not fall, then replace it with someone else. If the apple fell, there would be a show. He could sing, dance, compose poems, tell jokes, and imitate animals. Who do we start with?"
"Girl, let's start with you!" Yan Yihu said.”
Liu Junfang said,"My ponytail is tied too high. It can't hold the apples. I'll untie it." Daddy, you can try it first. Falling doesn't count.”
Yan Yihu walked around the table three times with an apple on his head. The apple did not fall. Liu Junfang's hair was combed. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her long hair was draped behind her back, showing the sexy charm of an adult woman.
"Dad, do you think braids look better or long hair?" Liu Junfang asked.”
Yan Yihu glanced at Liu Junfang's long hair and said,""Little girl, you look better in braids. It's not pleasing to the eye for a child to dress like a woman. Hurry up and buy an apple!"
"Alright!" Liu Junfang said. I'll braid my hair high after I'm done with the apple, so you don't have to give me any advice.”As he spoke, he walked three rounds with the apple on his head and it didn't fall. It was his father's turn again. Dad walked slowly with the apple on his head.
Liu Junfang thought that it was too boring to keep turning the table, so she suddenly shouted,""Daddy, be careful under your feet!" Yan Yihu lowered his head and looked down. There was nothing under his feet. However, the apple fell to the ground when she lowered her head.
Yan Yihu said,"That naughty girl is lying!”
"I didn't lie!" Liu Junfang said. Did I say wrong?"
"Alright, I admit my punishment. What should I do?" Yan Yihu said.”
Liu Junfang said,"We'll have a show!" Let's compose a tiger poem."
"What poem are you writing?”
Liu Junfang said,"This year is the year of the tiger. Let's sing a poem about the year of the tiger!"”
Yan Yihu pondered for a moment and was about to recite a poem. Liu Junfang brought the prepared pen, ink, and paper to the table and said,
"Please splash your brush and ink, and leave behind a quatrain that will last through the ages!”
Yan Yihu thought for a moment and wrote:
"The golden bull has bid farewell to his family,
Fu Hu welcomes the door, everything is new.
This evening my humble abode is decorated with colorful phoenixes,
Happy New Year.
On New Year's Eve last year I was alone,
lonely and lonely, my heart is depressed.
I'm lucky to have my daughter by my side,
He's even better than the Nine Heavens 'God of Joy."
Liu Junfang carefully pondered the meaning of the poem and said,""The Year of the Ox is about to go, and the Year of the Tiger is coming. With me, this beautiful phoenix, accompanying your father for the New Year, I guarantee that you will be happy and never have any worries. Dad's writing skills are really good. It's my turn to be the apple again.”
Liu Junfang walked two rounds with the apple on her head, but it still didn't fall off. Yan Yihu threw an apple to her and said,""Put this apple on your head and spin it!”Liu Junfang went to take the apple in a daze, and the apple fell from her head.
Liu Junfang pouted and said,"Dad is taking revenge on me!"”
Yan Yihu said proudly,"Girl, let's do a show!"”
Liu Junfang laid out the paper, bit the pen with her mouth, and thought for a while. Then she wrote:
"Sending cows to meet tigers, all things are new,
My daughter will spend the new year with her father.
The affection between father and daughter is as deep as the sea,
I'm willing to spend the rest of my life with you."
"Of course I'm happy to have a girl accompanying me!" said Yan Yihu. Our father-daughter relationship is as deep as the sea. We're celebrating the new year together. I'm so happy this year's New Year's Eve.”
Liu Junfang said,"This is the first time I'm spending the Spring Festival with my father. It's also the happiest Spring Festival in my life." From now on, I'll be by Dad's side every Spring Festival and make Dad happy forever.”
Yan Yihu said," Dad always spends the Spring Festival alone. Having a baby girl this year is the happiest thing in my life. How nice it would be to spend the Spring Festival with my daughter every year from now on!”
Liu Junfang said," Dad, there are five 'ones' in this sentence. We suggest that each of us compose a poem with the word 'one' to celebrate the new year!”
"Does every sentence contain one?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Liu Junfang said,"As long as there is one." Of course, it would be best if every sentence contained one.”
Yan Yihu said,"Girl, take the lead first!"”
Liu Junfang said," How can a child steal the limelight? This first shot should be given to Dad."”
Yan Yihu said,"This girl is really smart. She came up with a difficult problem herself and pushed it to me. Dad can only embarrass himself!"”
Yan Yihu picked up the brush and dipped it in ink.
"Once my daughter enters my house,
The wrinkles on his face bloomed.
A magpie chirped,
An old man is laughing."
Liu Junfang covered her mouth and laughed after reading the poem.
"What are you laughing at, you naughty girl?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Liu Junfang said,"I call you dad because I respect you. If I call you little dad, it's not right." You claim to be an old man, but I see that you're strong and healthy. Don't think that you're old.”
"He's already in his fifties," said Yan Yihu. People of our age have long become grandfathers. Isn't that old?”
Liu Junfang said," Now that the living conditions and medical conditions are better, there are new changes in the division of the old, middle, and young ages. Those below forty years old were considered young, those below sixty years old were considered middle-aged, and those above sixty years old were considered old. Nowadays, it wasn't rare for people to live past eighty years old.”
Yan Yihu said,"This little girl's mouth is indeed powerful. Even if my poem is not suitable, you can show me!" You can't just talk and not practice!"
Liu Junfang took the pen from Yan Yihu's hand and said,""This girl can only be a commentator. She has always had high expectations but low abilities. Since Father has ordered me to do so, I have to obey.”
She wrote on the paper:
"Once you're caught by bandits,
Yi Yong was the first to save Xiao Ya.
I've devoted myself to selfless love,
I'll repay you for the rest of my life."
Yan Yihu said,"My four-line poem has four 'ones' while yours has five 'ones' in it. That's one more 'one' than mine. I admit that you are slightly better."
Liu Junfang said proudly,"Dad won't admit defeat just like that, right?"”
Yan Yihu shook his head and said,"Of course I'm not willing to lose to a young girl!"”
Liu Junfang said provocatively,"Then let's sing another song!"”
Yan Yihu thought about it and wrote,
" My life is wasted on a head of frost,
Half lonely, half hurt.
A magpie brings the news of spring,
An old and a young laugh."
Yan Yihu said,"Please look. There are seven 'ones' in my four poems. There are two more 'ones' in your poem.”
Liu Junfang said to herself,"There are actually seven ones in your poem. It's really good." It would have been great if I, a magpie, had flown to your side earlier! With me, the magpie's happy song and laughter, you won't be lonely.”
"Zaozaoer?" Yan Yihu asked. How early? You were still sleeping in your mother's womb when I was working for ten years! How can it fly to my side? I'm already very satisfied to be able to fly to my side now.”
Liu Junfang said,"How nice it would be if I reincarnated into your family!" How blissful would it be to call you Daddy when you were born!”
"Are you a god?" Yan Yihu asked. Calling him daddy as soon as he was born? Don't let your imagination run wild! As the saying goes,"contented people are always happy." After experiencing loneliness, a happy little angel like you should be contented.”
Yan Junfang said,"Dad's poems always have some aging and decadent emotions. Are you that old?" Let me see where your [One Head Frost] is.”
Yan Yihu pulled out his hair and showed it to Liu Junfang."Look at me, I already have so much white hair.”
Yan Junfang said,"My classmate has white hair since he was a teenager. Can you say that he's old?" I'll punish you with another poem! Let me remind you not to read " Lonely Frost " anymore.”
"I can only obey!" Yan Yihu said. I'll give you another song!
He wrote on the paper:
"A young girl and a flower,
Every frown and smile filled the house with joy.
One song, one tune, one spring's beauty,
The old and the young are chattering."
Yan Yihu pointed at the poem with his hand." Look, there are nine 'ones' in this poem. Can it pass?"”
Liu Junfang read the poem while carefully pondering the poetic meaning."I'm a girl, I'm a flower, my laughter filled the house, my singing brought laughter to the whole house, making dad laugh. The artistic conception of this poem is not bad. I'll let you pass.”
Yan Yihu really laughed. He couldn't close his mouth. He stopped laughing." You're really a talented critic, girl. You actually managed to make a poem rhyme.”
Liu Junfang said,"I was just saying it casually. It doesn't mean anything."”
Yan Yihu wrote down her words on a piece of paper.
"I am a girl, I am a flower,
My laughter fills the house,
The song brought laughter to the room,
Dad laughed out loud."
Yan Yihu pointed at the manuscript and said,"Isn't this a very good poem?"”
Liu Junfang said,"If Dad is satisfied, I'll pass!"”
Yan Yihu said,"There is not a single 'one' in this poem that cannot be taken part in the competition. Your poem must have at least nine 'ones' to pass.”
Liu Junfang said with a sad face,"Dad is too cruel. Where can I find so many" Ones "?"”
Yan Yihu said,"I believe that you will have a way. Think about it quickly!"”
Liu Junfang paced around the room, racking her brains. Yan Yihu urged,""In ancient times, Cao Zhi wrote a poem in seven steps. How many steps have you taken?”
Liu Junfang's eyes lit up and she said excitedly,""I got it! Daddy, please take a look."
She wrote the poem she had thought of on a piece of paper.
"One old and one young, one family.
A cup of tea to Daddy.
With all my heart and soul
I'll repay you for the rest of my life."
Yan Yihu said happily after reading the manuscript,"There are actually 10 'ones' in a four-line poem. It's indeed not bad. However, it would be vulgar to always repay kindness endlessly. The kinship between father and daughter was the most sacred. Kindness could not be compared to kinship.”
Liu Junfang said happily,"I will interpret another poem according to your poetry:
I am the magpie, I am the flower,
The magpies chirped at the door.
The whole house laughs in the spring,
Happiness is full of happiness."
Yan Yihu said,"This poem is not bad. It reflects our good mood to welcome the new year."”
"Are we going to continue the poetry competition?" Liu Junfang asked.”
Yan Yihu said," Dad is getting old. I always feel like I have dementia. I can't compare to you young people." I really can't surpass your 10 [One] s. I'm sincerely convinced and impressed.”
Liu Junfang said," It's really hard to get an apple. Let's change the game. Let's play an open 9 and a dark 9!"”
"What's an open 9 and a dark 9?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Liu Junfang said," The rules of the game are like this. Two people take turns to count. When they reach 9, they say 'Pass'. When they reach 18, they say' Pass'. When they reach 9 or a multiple of 9, they say 'Pass'. Who said that 9 and a multiple of 9 counted as a loss? If they lost, they would have to go on a show.”
"I'll start from 1!" Yan Yihu said.”
The two of them counted from 1 to 100 correctly. When Liu Junfang counted to 126, Yan Yihu hurriedly made a pause gesture with his hand and said,"Stop! The girl was wrong. 126 was 14 times 9. Let's go on the show!"
Liu Junfang touched her long hair and said awkwardly,""My poems are mediocre and boring, without any poetry. I really don't dare to embarrass myself. What kind of program is it?"
Yan Yihu said,"Girl, I'll give you three brain teasers. As long as you answer one correctly, you'll pass." If you can't answer any of them correctly, sing me a song.”
Liu Junfang said,"Dad, tell me!"”
"First, who cries when they think of what their mother said?”
Liu Junfang said,"I cry when I think of my mother's words."”
"No, are you crying now that you remember what Mom said?" Yan Yihu said. Let me tell you, there's a line in Lu Binghua's song: Every night I think of my mother's words, sparkling tears, Lu Binghua.》”
"Now, I'll talk about the second one. What kind of monster was it that no one was afraid of?”
Liu Junfang said,"Bai Suzhen from the Legend of the White Snake, the White Snake Demon."”
Yan Yihu said,"No, when the White Snake Demon appears, people are afraid." Let me tell you, it's no wonder."
"Third, who works only one day a year?”
Liu Junfang said,"Santa Claus."
"If you answer one of the three questions correctly, you pass." Then, he continued to explain 9 to 9, starting with me. 127”
Liu Junfang said," Dad, this isn't fair. I've been counting. You're the bright nine, and I'm the dark nine. This time, I'll count first."”
"Alright!" Yan Yihu said. Let's start with 127!"
" 127, 128,"" Pass,"" 130…"”
When Yan Yihu counted to 162, Liu Junfang shouted,"
"Stop! 162 is 16 times 9. Daddy, come on the show!”
"What kind of program is it? Write poems, those written in haste are bleak and dull.……”
Liu Junfang said," Dad, I'll give you three riddles. As long as you can guess one correctly in three minutes, you'll pass."”
"Alright, let's begin!" Yan Yihu said.”
Liu Junfang said,"Dad, listen." The first question was about a morning glory flower on the wall, connected to it by a vine. It had no leaves or fragrance, but it could sing and talk.”
Yan Yihu thought for a while and asked,"Is the singer singing on stage?"”
"No, no!" Liu Junfang said. It was a loudspeaker. I said the second question. The two brothers are of the same height. They go out for exercise three times a day. Everyone needs it. It's good to work together.”
Yan Yihu immediately said,"It's the People's Liberation Army."”
Liu Junfang said,"Dad is so stupid. It's just a pair of chopsticks!" If you can't guess the third question, sing me a song. Listen to the third question, man-made metal ball, with four hands, full of equipment, and the information received.”
"It's a satellite," Yan Yihu said hurriedly.”
Yan Junfang said,"Daddy is really smart. I guessed it right. I'll let you pass."”
At this moment, the sound of firecrackers rang out outside the window, and the fireworks in the sky lit up the night sky. He looked at the clock in the room. It was 11:58. Liu Junfang held her father's hand and jumped up and down, shouting,""It's the new year! It's the new year!"
Yan Yihu immediately covered her mouth and said,"Don't be crazy. You'll affect the people below's sleep!”
Liu Junfang said,"No one sleeps on New Year's Eve. Let's go crazy!"”On TV, the New Year bell rang. Liu Junfang hugged her father tightly and buried her head in his arms.
Yan Yihu gently pushed her away and said,"It's been another year. Bring me some wine. Let's have a drink!"”
Liu Junfang brought over two wine glasses and two bottles of wine. A bottle of red wine and a bottle of Jiannanchun. She opened the bottle of red wine and poured two glasses. She handed the wine glass to Yan Yihu and said," I'll toast you with this glass of red wine. I wish you good health, a successful career, a happy mood, and all the best in the new year!"”After saying that, he clinked his glasses and drank it in one gulp.
Then, she filled two glasses of white wine. She handed a glass of white wine to her father and said," I'll toast this glass of white wine to you. I wish you a long life and a hundred years of peace with your daughter!”
Yan Yihu hurriedly interrupted him."Girl, thank you! But, did you use the wrong words? A husband and wife could only be together for a hundred years, but how could a father and daughter be together for a hundred years! I'm 35 years older than you. When you grow up, I'll be buried.”
Liu Junfang said,"You live to be 100 years old, and I only live to be 65 years old. Then we'll be together!"”
Yan Yihu said,"Girl, it's a big festival. Don't talk about death or life. Let's drink some wine!" You drink red, I drink white!"
"Why?" Liu Junfang asked. Look down on women?"
"How can a little girl be considered a woman?”
Liu Junfang said,"I can drink as much as Dad can!"”
As he spoke, he poured two glasses of white wine, gave one to his father, and picked up one for himself.
Liu Junfang said,"Dad, please!"”
Yan Yihu drank the wine and said,"Don't drink anymore. If you drink any more, you'll be drunk."”
"Dad, I have a way. I won't get drunk, but I can have fun." He walked around the table three times with an apple on his head before drinking.”After saying that, he walked around the table three times with the apple on his head and drank a glass of wine. Yan Yihu also drank a glass of wine. As he turned and shouted, Yan Yihu couldn't take it anymore.
Yan Yihu said,"I didn't expect you to be so good at drinking. I can't drink anymore."”
Liu Junfang said,"I haven't drunk enough yet!"”
Liu Junfang helped Yan Yihu to the sofa and poured him a cup of strong tea."Daddy, have a cup of tea to relieve your stress! Are you really drunk?"
"No! I'm not drunk."
"Why don't you dare to drink?" Liu Junfang asked. Are you afraid that you'll lose your composure when you're drunk?"
"There's no need to put on an act in your own home. You should be honest with your daughter.”
Liu Junfang said,"You always put on the airs of an old senior in front of me. I'm a little scared of you."”
Yan Yihu said,"Girl, don't be afraid. I'm not a tiger."”
Liu Junfang said,"You were a little tiger when you were young, but when you grow up, you'll be a tiger!"”
Yan Yihu said,"My tiger is a kind tiger. It won't eat people." Besides, you're my daughter for 'A vicious tiger will not eat its cubs'. How can I eat you!”
Liu Junfang sat on the sofa and put her head on his shoulder.""Can I ask you a few questions?"
Yan Yihu said,"I'll answer all your questions.”
"When is Godmother coming back?" Liu Junfang asked.”
"At least two more years, because she's studying in America with her son."”
"How's your relationship with Godmother?" Liu Junfang asked.”
"My father and her father are old friends, and the marriage was arranged by the elders of both parties," said Yan Yihu. They didn't have any feelings for each other before they got married, but after they got married, they often bickered. However, she was very kind and beautiful. It turned out that we were both living in Beijing. After I arrived in Sanhe, he never came over and had been taking care of his precious son.”
Liu Junfang said,"Dad, you've been living alone for so many years. Don't you feel lonely?"”
Yan Yihu said,"The workload is too heavy. I'm so busy all day that I don't have time to think about anything else." However, during the holidays and holidays, she also felt lonely.”
Liu Junfang said,"It's popular for rich people to find a lover and keep a secretary. Haven't you ever found a woman?"”
"I'm very disgusted by this kind of thing," said Yan Yihu. The fundamental difference between humans and animals was that humans had their own ideology, ethics, and morals. If a person didn't care about anything, what was the difference between him and an animal? Lovers and secretaries spend every day thinking about the money in your pocket, and you enjoy her beauty every day. What's the point of being apart in bed?……”
As Yan Yihu spoke, he saw that the girl leaning on his shoulder had fallen asleep. He looked at the clock on the wall. It was already two in the morning. She thought, This child is too sleepy. He told her to go to bed, but he didn't have the heart to wake her up. After a while, he carried her to the bed.”
Yan Yihu placed her on the bed and covered her with the blanket. Liu Junfang suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed his hand."Just lie down next to me and sleep!"
Yan Yihu saw her suddenly open her eyes and asked in surprise,"So you weren't asleep?"
Liu Junfang said," I was really asleep. I woke up when you hugged me, but I didn't open my eyes."”
Yan Yihu pulled a long face and asked,"You naughty girl. You're so tall, yet you still want Daddy to carry you to bed?"”
Liu Junfang said proudly,"When you hugged me, I felt very comfortable. I couldn't bear to let you go."”
"It's already two o'clock. Go to sleep!" Yan Yihu said.
Liu Junfang moved closer to the bed and said,""Lie down next to me and sleep!"
"I'd better go to the study room to sleep. I'll wake you up if I snore."”
Liu Junfang said," My farmer father snores much louder than you. When he was in the hospital, I slept beside my father for three months. When Dad returned to his hometown, I couldn't sleep well alone. Don't you think it's strange?”
Yan Yihu said,"It's a habit. No matter how noisy you are, you can still fall asleep."”
Liu Junfang said,"Dad, I'm not afraid of noise. I'll lie here and sleep!"”
Yan Yihu said,"You're already such a big girl, but you're still sleeping with your father. Is that right?"”
Liu Junfang said,"You call me a child every day, and today you're a big girl?"”
"Do you sleep with your biological father at your house?" Yan Yihu asked.”
Liu Junfang said,"When Dad was in the hospital, he hugged me to sleep every day."”
Yan Yihu said,"He's my biological father, and I'm my godfather. How can we be the same?"”
Liu Junfang said,"I think you're closer to me than my biological father."”
Yan Yihu said,"Wrong, a big mistake.”
"What's wrong?" Liu Junfang asked.
"Girl, let me give you an analogy. Which was better, dried vegetables or fresh vegetables? Of course, it was fresh and delicious. I'm like radishes and sweet potatoes. If I can't finish them, I'll cut them into pieces and dry them in the sun. When the fresh ones are gone, I'll take them out to satisfy my hunger. If the year was good and there was good food, no one would eat this. Feed it to the animals or throw it into the trash. Don't you agree?"
Liu Junfang said,"You're eloquent and eloquent. I can't beat you." However, I believe that there are advantages to doing it, but there are few advantages. Which of the herbs in Chinese herbal medicine wasn't dry? If you do well, you can store it well, and it will never change!”
Yan Yihu said,"The girl has been with me for a year. Her eloquence has improved!" I'm used to sleeping alone. I can't sleep if you squeeze me.”
Liu Junfang said,"I'm not a tiger. Why are you afraid of me?"”
Yan Yihu said," Who's afraid of you, you naughty girl? I'll sleep with you. Hurry up and sleep!"”
Yan Yihu carried his pillow and blanket to her bed and lay down beside her. Liu Junfang gently patted her father's stomach and said,""Daddy is so obedient! Little baby is sleeping, little baby is sleeping…”After a while, she fell asleep first.
Yan Yihu looked at her cute sleeping posture and savored the faint fragrance. He was no longer sleepy. He thought about it and found it funny." This little girl is really funny. She treats me like a child and coaxes me to sleep. She coaxes herself to sleep." I'd better sleep in the study. It won't be good if I turn over and press her down.”
It was six o'clock in the morning on the first day of the Lunar New Year. Yan Yihu had already woken up to tidy up the house before the sun had even risen. The deafening sound of firecrackers woke Liu Junfang up. She reached out and touched her father. He was not sleeping beside her, so she pouted and shouted,"Daddy is a deserter! Daddy is a deserter!”
Liu Junfang jumped down from the bed and took the rag from her father's hand. She pulled him to the bed and said,"Daddy, sleep a little longer. I'll clean up the house.”
Yan Yihu said,"Girl, someone will be coming to pay New Year's greetings soon. Hurry up and wash up!"”
Liu Junfang said," Your daughter is a natural beauty. She's beautiful without makeup.”
Yan Yihu said," Don't be so smug. You're still a little girl with unshed hair. It's not the time for you to be beautiful yet. It's fine as long as you're clean."”
