Chapter 9

　　Don't be greedy, kids, it's New Years after Laba.

　　In a blink of an eye, it is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

　　Chen Wu's memory of the Laba Festival is a small bowl of Laba porridge.

　　Chen Wu had never celebrated the New Year with Zhuang Weimin and Chen Fangli, a temporary couple.

　　When other people's families were reunited, his parents went back to the countryside to be reunited with their real family.

　　Therefore, Chen Wu never looked forward to the New Year. The reunion festival, which is of great significance to others, is just an extremely ordinary day when his parents are absent for him.

　　In contrast, he likes the Laba Festival very much. On the day of Laba, Chen Fangli will go to the street to buy some rice, peanuts, red beans, etc., and cook them slowly in a pot, adding a small spoonful of sugar, which is a rare delicacy in a year.

　　At that time, Chen Wu was just childish, thin and small. But compared to his peers, he is not as sensible as a child. As soon as Chen Fangli entered the kitchen, he followed to help Chen Fangli wash the rice.

　　In the white smoke rising from the pot, Chen Fangli's gentle and beautiful face became blurred.

　　A child's memory is short, and Chen Wu would think of his mother from time to time. It's just that recently he couldn't even remember Chen Fangli's appearance, only a few residual memories remained in his mind.

　　...

　　On the evening of the seventh day of the seventh day, Aunt Zhang began to get busy. After the Laba porridge goes through the fire, it will start cooking in the middle of the night, and then hang it on a low heat until the next morning, before the soft and glutinous Laba porridge comes out of the pot.

　　Chen Wu took the initiative to run to the kitchen to help Aunt Zhang.

　　His skinny paws were black, but Aunt Zhang didn't dislike him at all, she handed him a pot of red beans and asked him to wash them. Chen Wu happily accepted the order, sitting on a small stool and carefully rubbing grains one by one.

　　Aunt Zhang was digging pits for the red dates, while teasing Chen Wu: "Xiao Wu, are you afraid of ghosts?"

　　Chen Wu shook his head: "I'm not afraid, my mother said ghosts are fake!"

　　Aunt Zhang pretended to be serious and told Chen Wu the story of "Chidou fights ghosts".

　　Chen Wu was not afraid of those hideous ghosts, but giggled instead. As soon as he made a sound, he remembered what Zhu Jindong said about his quarrel last time, so he quickly covered his mouth and gave Aunt Zhang a wink in a low voice: "Aunt Zhang, please keep your voice down, brother Jindong will come and scold you!"

　　Aunt Zhang shook her head helplessly: "Where is the young master? Don't be too afraid of him."

　　It was rare for Chen Wu not to show an expression of approval, but instead said sternly: "He is super fierce! He has scolded me several times."

　　Aunt Zhang thought it was a little funny. She watched Zhu Jindong grow up since she was a child. Compared with the bear kids from other families, she has a good temper.

　　"You are not afraid of evil ghosts, but you are afraid of the young master. Could it be that the young master is more terrifying than evil ghosts?"

　　Chen Wu nodded seriously: "He is much scarier than ghosts, I dare not even look him in the eye."

　　Aunt Zhang was about to answer a sentence when she suddenly saw Zhu Jindong standing at the door of the kitchen with a gloomy expression on her face, and she didn't know how much she had listened to what she had just said.
