Chapter 28 Pick-up

January 23, the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve.

He Xin's passport was finally delivered in the morning, thanks to the country's efficient postal system, thinking about what the people think, anxious about what the people are anxious about, not resting on Chinese New Year's Eve, and still fighting on the front line of serving the people.

He hurriedly reported to Wang Xiaoshuai, then rode a bicycle through half of the capital, and solemnly handed over the passport to the handler, which was finally safe.

The landlord Lao Zhang's family will go to the parents' house who demolished and moved to a new house this year to celebrate the New Year, and they will go to their father-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the new year, and they will not be able to go home until the evening of the second day of the new year. He Xin, who celebrated the New Year alone, happened to be in the courtyard to watch his family, and in order to express his gratitude, Lao Zhang specially sent two pieces of braised beef and a bowl of croquettes early in the morning.

It is popular to eat dumplings for the New Year in the north, and He Xin's hometown did not have this custom in his previous life, and the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is a family meal together. Now I also follow the customs of the villagers, and I specially went to the village store to buy a package of quick-frozen dumplings, and brought a bottle of Erguotou by the way.

In the afternoon, in addition to the fence, there were occasional firecrackers, and the sound of children crying and making noise, and the whole compound was completely quiet. He Xin originally wanted to read the class notes, but his eyes stayed on a certain page for a long time, but he didn't know what the content was, so he couldn't read it at all!

Turn on the TV, press the remote control again and again, and still can't find the program you want.

Suddenly, I remembered that I had to clean up, get a haircut, take a bath for the New Year, and then put on new clothes on the first day of the New Year, refreshing and refreshing to welcome the new year.

So he rolled up his sleeves and cleaned the hut inside and out, the gray glass windows were polished brightly, and the sheets, pillows and quilt covers were all changed. At this time, it is unrealistic to go out for a haircut and bath, it is estimated that all the doors are closed, boil a few pots of hot water, wash your hair and scrub your body, and change into clean clothes.

According to the rules, on the first day of the new year, you can't sweep the floor, throw out the garbage, wash the clothes, you can only temporarily stuff the changed clothes, sheets, quilt covers, etc. into the bag, and wait for the first day of the new year to wash again.

After a lot of busyness, I finally stayed up until dark, and when I saw that the time was just six o'clock, there were still two hours before the Spring Festival Gala began. Lying on the bed and squinting for a while, grinding until half past seven, his spirit immediately lifted up, he got up from the bed, first cut two pieces of braised beef into thin slices and put them on the plate, and then cut half a cabbage and soaked some vermicelli.

Directly put a pot on the stove, stew the fried meatballs, cabbage, and vermicelli in one pot, put the beef next to it, and wait for the Spring Festival Gala to start.

I've watched too many Spring Festival Galas, and I have forgotten what kind of good-looking programs there are in the Spring Festival Gala that year, and the opening song and dance is usually a large group of children mixed with a few singers singing and dancing, and the screen is full of happy smiling faces.

He Xin was sipping a little wine, while watching the songs and dances that are representative of the times and the integration of the whole nation, the cross talk in the system, and the sketches with their own characteristics, all of which are the same as the first time I watched them.

It wasn't until after ten o'clock that some impressive programs appeared one after another, especially Xiao Zhang's miserable singing voice fully explained what a real soul singer is.

When a whole bottle of two pots was down to one-third, and it was about to break through the limit of He Xin's wine, it happened to be Uncle Benshan's "Selling Abduction" debuted. This sketch is definitely a masterpiece of Uncle Benshan's Spring Festival Gala over the years, and there is no one.

Just opened:

"Hey...... Big flicker! Big flicker!"

"What's the big fool you are shouting, in front of everyone, don't call me by my stage name, okay?"

"Poof!"

The noodles that He Xin had just picked up in his mouth squirted out all of a sudden......

Once the wine is in place, He Xin feels that the whole person will enter a magical state, sluggish movements, uncontrolled laughter, and even the passage of time will not be felt.

Until the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside fell from scattered to lively, He Xin stood up slowly, opened the door, looked at the fireworks in the distant sky were gorgeous, smelled the smoke in the air, he lit a cigarette, stood there quietly, and heard the countdown voice of the host leading the audience in the TV: "Ten, nine, eight, seven, six......"

"Phew!"

As a huge ceremonial flower bloomed in the sky and the cheers on the TV came, He Xin slowly turned his head, but he had already burst into tears......

......

"Bang dang!"

woke up Aunt Zhang, the landlord who was sleeping in the main room, and was about to get up and turn on the light.

"Don't toss, it's Xiaohe's that kid, I just heard the sound of him pushing the cart out. Lao Zhang next to him yawned.

"Why is he so early today?" Aunt Zhang looked out the window at the pitch black.

"Who knows, maybe I've got a job again, right? Okay, go to sleep, it's still early. ”

The couple stumbled and rolled over, and after a while, snoring of different volumes sounded again.

Today is the seventh day of the new year, and He Xin set off at five o'clock.

It was pitch black outside, and it was the darkest hour before dawn. He seems to have returned to the scene when he was working in the Chinese opera canteen, riding on the deserted street in the early hours of the morning.

It's just that it's too cold at the moment, and even though I'm wearing a lot of clothes, the cold wind still drills down my trouser legs all the way to the cracks in my bones. And it's a headwind, and the ride is more strenuous and time-consuming than ever.

It took nearly an hour to arrive at the train station, and it was less than ten minutes before the express train from Qingdao entered the station, He Xin quickly stopped the car and ran to the station.

The train station in the capital is always so busy, and when you go out of the city and return to the city, there are people everywhere.

"Passengers please pay attention......"

The announcement in the hall began to speak, and He Xin found a conspicuous position to stare in the direction of the exit.

After a while, I saw a surging flow of people at the exit, such as opening the gate and releasing water.

A girl in a beige coat in the crowd dragged a huge suitcase, and although she wore a hat on her head and a scarf tightly covered, He Xin recognized it at a glance.

"Cheng Hao! Cheng Hao! Here, here!" the thing waved vigorously to meet it.

Cheng Hao followed the sound and saw He Xin who was squeezing in from the crowd, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, she pulled down the scarf covering her mouth and nose, and said with a smile: "It's not for you not to come, this point is too troublesome." ”

"That's why I have to come. ”

After holding back for the New Year, this goods has seen a rise. As he spoke, he tugged at the suitcase in his hand and stretched out his other hand, "Come, grab me, let's go out first." ”

"Okay!" Cheng Hao didn't twist it, smiled slightly, and put his hand in his hand.

Although everyone was wearing gloves, He Xin was still snickering. You must know that just now he mustered up a lot of courage and finally succeeded in holding hands for the first time.

"Hey, slow down!"

When it came to the sparsely populated place, the goods pulled Cheng Hao and rushed forward vigorously, and Cheng Hao, whose footsteps became messy, had to shout.

"Oh. Only then did He Xin stop, and turned back with a smile.

At this time, he noticed that Cheng Hao looked haggard, with tiredness in his eyebrows and eyes.

"Haven't you slept all night?"

"Unfortunately this time, I didn't buy a sleeper and sat all night. ”

"Then why didn't you fly? He Xin said distressedly.

"Actually, it's pretty much the same, the airports are quite far away, and it takes hours just to travel back and forth. I used to take this bus back to school, and after dinner at home, I got on the bus and got some sleep, which was very convenient. I came back early this time, but I didn't expect so many people. Cheng Hao said.

"It's the peak of the Spring Festival! Let's go, you must be hungry, let's go out and find something to eat." ”

"Let's go back to school first, it's not convenient to take the luggage. Cheng Hao hesitated.

"It's okay, I have a way. He Xin said with a smile.

While talking, the two walked to the door of the hall, and struggled to carry the box down the steps, He Xin said: "You wait for a while, I'll push the car over." ”

"Hey......"

Cheng Hao wanted to say something, but he saw that this guy ran away as soon as he slipped away.

It didn't take long to see him come on the silver mountain bike.

"You're riding a bike?"

"Of course, I'll leave at five o'clock, and the morning bus won't leave yet. ”

Cheng Hao smiled apologetically, looked at the small bicycle, and hesitated: "Don't send it away, it's very convenient for me to take the bus back to school." ”

"It's fine!"

This guy still looked happy, and he took out a rope from his pocket like a trick, lifted the suitcase and put it on the schoolbag rack behind the bicycle, divided it by two, tied the box firmly, and then stepped into the car, supported a long leg, sideways exposed the front crossbar, and made a "please" gesture: "Come, get in the car!"

"Huh?"

Cheng Hao was stunned, he didn't expect this guy to operate like this.

"Why are you still stunned, the police haven't gone to work at this point, it's okay, come up." He Xin urged.

"This ......"

Probably only when Cheng Hao was a child did she ride her father's bicycle like this, and she has never ridden a boy's bicycle like this since then.

"Come!"

"Oh. ”

Cheng Hao had to bite the bullet and sit down carefully, and said worriedly: "Can you do this?"

Is it okay? This kind of question that directly tortures a man's heart and dignity, He Xin naturally said confidently: "Okay! I guarantee that there is no problem at all." ”

The beauty was in his arms, and a few hairs that came out of the hat swept mischievously across his lips and nose, and the dark fragrance hit him, and He Xin suddenly felt full of strength.

With a kick, the dragon head deliberately twisted twice, and the car rushed forward in a serpentine shape, which immediately caused the beauty to exclaim.
