The place for the walk is still by the river.

Each area of City A is separated by two rivers, and along the river is a scenic belt, and many people usually take a walk on the sidewalks or parks along the river.

Today is no exception.

But Ling Yao didn't expect that there would be so many people today.

It was obviously too cold to do it, and it was Chinese New Year's Eve.

She thought there must not be many people by the river today.

When she approached with a wheelchair, Ling Yao hurriedly put on a mask.

Fu Jingyan's physique is not as good as Ling Yao's, and the mask was worn from the beginning.

"I didn't expect so many people here. ”

"There could be some kind of activity. Fu Jingyan replied.

"Will it?"

Ling Yao had no intention of turning back halfway.

Go straight ahead.

She was about to find someone to inquire when she heard a child talking.

"Mom, why haven't you 'jumped-pop-' out yet?"

The child's voice was milky, and he opened his little arms when he said the two onomatopoeias.

Ling Yao didn't have to think about it to know that the baby was talking about fireworks.

She turned her head to look at the small islands in the river, but unfortunately there were trees all around, and she couldn't see anything.

The river is a bit wider than the last one, and there is a shuttle-shaped island in the middle of the river, which is also an attraction in City A.

If you want to get there, you have to take a boat.

The Chinese New Year is a special time, and the island has long been closed.

"Wait a minute, twelve o'clock will appear. The child's mother wiped the cookie crumbs from the child's mouth before replying.

Fireworks are now strictly forbidden in the city, and this is the fireworks festival once a year.

Ling Yao glanced at her phone.

It's eleven forty.

"Shall we stay and see?"

"Whatever you want. Fu Jingyan glanced at Ling Yao's skirt, "If you're not afraid of the cold." ”

Knowing what the other party meant, Ling Yao couldn't help but smile, "I think you have the potential to be an old mother." ”

Ling Yao emphasized how many times, saying that she was not cold at all.

But Fu Jingyan just felt that she was wearing too thin.

Although the objective facts are like this, it always makes Ling Yao think of jokes on the Internet.

"What do you mean?" Fu Jingyan obviously didn't know about these stalks on the Internet.

"It's just ......" Ling Yao thought for a moment, "It's just a kind of cold, called your mother thinks you're cold......"

Fu Jingyan didn't know much.

Ling Yao didn't explain any more, and pointed to the marshmallow stall surrounded by a group of children, "Do you want one?"

"You want to eat?" Fu Jingyan asked without answering.

"Forget it. Ling Yao said, "There are more people here. ”

Although she is not a famous artist, and she is not very well-known, but what if?

What if someone recognizes it?

"If there are fewer people, they will eat?"

"What is this for?" Ling Yao raised her eyebrows.

"Asked casually. ”

"I should be able to eat it. Ling Yao nodded, "I haven't eaten marshmallows yet, but sweet things can make people feel better, I like it very much." ”

"Hmm. ”

Fu Jingyan answered, and really asked casually.

There are many people who come out to watch the fireworks on Chinese New Year's Eve, but the area by the river is spacious and there are no crowds.

Ling Yao pushed Fu Jingyan through the crowd, occasionally talking.

As soon as 12:00 arrived, a fire rose into the sky, as if determined to light up the entire night sky.

The fireworks were set off on an island in the river, and after a while, with a snapping sound, the night sky was full of flowers of various colors and shapes.

At the same time, it was accompanied by the sound of time announcements and New Year's greetings from many squares.

"It's pretty good. Ling Yao couldn't help but sigh.

She was already standing next to Fu Jingyan at this time, not behind her.

Of course, Ling Yao's hand did not forget to grasp the wheelchair.

She kept looking up at the fireworks, but she didn't notice that Fu Jingyan had basically been looking at Ling Yao except for looking up at the fireworks at the beginning.

Not to mention Ling Yao, maybe Fu Jingyan didn't even notice it himself.

The fireworks were brilliant for a moment, and ten minutes later, the fireworks stopped.

A lot of people are saying "Happy New Year" to each other.

Ling Yao came back to her senses and congratulated, "Fu Jingyan, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year. Fu Jingyan was stunned for a moment and then reacted quickly.

At this moment, a girl with a large basket of roses in her hand came over.

"Little brother, do you want to buy a few flowers for this young lady? and this is the first bouquet of flowers and the first gift of the new year!"

Ling Yao was stunned for a few seconds before she realized that this girl was calling Fu Jingyan's little brother.

She was just about to refute, but she didn't expect Fu Jingyan to scan the code.

"Then buy them all......" Fu Jingyan said lightly.

Ling Yao hurriedly patted Fu Jingyan on the shoulder.

"You still buy them all, you think you're a domineering president? ”

Ling Yao felt that Fu Jingyan was just taking care of this girl's business.

Didn't think much about it.

"I think the little brother is a lot like a domineering president. The girl selling flowers said sincerely.

Her eyes didn't look at Fu Jingyan's legs from beginning to end, and she seemed to be quite smart.

Ling Yao laughed, and then said, "He's just like." ”

Fu Jingyan didn't say anything, but only silently paid for a flower.

"Little sister, do you want to buy one for this little brother? Boyfriend and girlfriend give each other the first gift, it's very romantic!"

"Then take two flowers. Fu Jingyan skillfully paid for another flower.

"Boyfriend and girlfriend?" Ling Yao frowned, "Why do you think we are boyfriend and girlfriend?"

The girl who sold flowers was about to leave, and when she heard Ling Yao ask, she couldn't help laughing, and her face was full of the word certainty:

"It's not now or in the future, I remember there is a poem that doesn't say, you stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery look at you upstairs......"

After the girl finished speaking, she winked at Ling Yao with a smile, and then left with the basket.

In fact, she had noticed this "special pair" just now, if Fu Jingyan hadn't been looking sideways at Ling Yao just now, she couldn't be sure that these two might be a pair.

After all, Fu Jingyan is different from ordinary people......

Ling Yao and the others didn't know what the girls thought.

After the other left, neither of them reacted.

There happens to be a university nearby, and there are a lot of young people here, so the girl's business is quite good.

Ling Yao came back to her senses when she heard the shout of "the first gift of the new year" again.

lowered his head just to meet Fu Jingyan's eyes.

"That...... What did she just say? What do you mean?"

Ling Yao didn't understand what that meant, and the other party didn't speak loudly, and the surroundings were quite noisy.

"Nothing. Fu Jingyan shook his head and turned back.

"Oh, take it. ”

He handed over a rose without looking back.

"Really send me?" Ling Yao was a little surprised.

She also thought that Fu Jingyan was doing it casually.

"Handy. Fu Jingyan said, "And she was right, the first gift of the new year." ”

"Oh well. ”

Ling Yao raised her eyebrows slightly.

So, each of them took a rose and went back.

There happened to be an empty vase at home, so Ling Yao pruned the stems of the two roses and put them in the vase.

The vase is placed on the fantasy shoe cabinet, and you can see it when you go in and out.

————

Early the next morning, Ling Yao was woken up by a phone call from Shen Xue.

Maybe he was too worried that Ling Yao would play his cards out of common sense, so he suddenly stopped going to Wang Qiu's.

So Shen Xue's attitude was quite good when she called.

Ling Yao snorted and hung up the phone directly.

After washing up, Ling Yao didn't forget to send a message to ask Chi Ming if everything was done.

The other party has not replied to the message for a long time, and it is estimated that he has not gotten up yet.

Because she had to rush to Shen's house in the morning, Ling Yao didn't go for a morning run for the first time today.

She went out and bought breakfast and came back.

Before going out, he specially left a note for Fu Jingyan.

When Ling Yao arrived at the Mid-Mountain Villa (where Shen Dongcheng lived), Shen Dongcheng and the others were already moving things into the car.

Only Shen Dongcheng and his wife went this time, as well as Ling Yao and Shen Xu.

Shen Xue stood at the door and watched.

"My sister is finally here. Shen Xue smiled all over her face, "I thought you suddenly regretted it and didn't want to go to see grandma." ”

"Although grandma has a little misunderstanding of her sister, she is also a grandmother ......"

"Xiaoxue!" Zhou Huiqin glanced at her daughter dissatisfied, "What are you talking about so much?"

After that, he sang in front of Ling Yao with a white face, "Yaoyao don't care about Xiaoxue, she just likes to talk a lot." ”

Ling Yao was silent.

Shen Xue pouted, she just wanted to make Ling Yao unhappy when she stood here just now, but she didn't expect people to care at all?

"I don't know if the New Year banquet at Brother Mu Sheng's house is very lively, I'm still a little worried that I will do something wrong......" Shen Xue pretended to be distressed.

"Don't worry. Zhou Huiqin comforted.

Shen Xue looked at Ling Yao, "My sister has been to the New Year banquet of Brother Mu Sheng's house, so she should know some rules, right?"

"I've been there every year since I was a child, and for me it's just an ordinary banquet, and if you still lose face at an ordinary banquet, I think you should learn etiquette again. ”

Ling Yao's words made Shen Xue's face instantly stiffen.

"It's almost time to get in the car and get ready to go. Shen Dongcheng shouted in front of the car door not far away.

"Yaoyao, let's go. ”

Zhou Huiqin can see that Ling Yao is now sharp-toothed, and Shen Xue can't please it at all!

Before leaving, Ling Yao turned around and dropped a sentence, "What is the most taboo thing about the Mu family......'s New Year banquet?"

"It's probably like you who go to the city as a country man in some film and television dramas. ”

She laughed sarcastically and stomped Shen Xueqi's feet.

Countrymen go to the city???

Ling Yao is that!!

Shen Xue couldn't hear this sentence in the last words.

When Zhou Huiqin first married Shen Dongcheng, Shen Xue still wanted to integrate into the circle of those daughters, but someone deliberately targeted her, saying that she was unknowledgeable and the same as a hillbilly!

Shen Xue didn't know how long she had memorized this!

In the final analysis, she still has an inferiority complex in her bones.

Ling Yao sat in the car and couldn't help but laugh when she saw Shen Xue's angry look.

I have to say that Shen Dongcheng's family has added a lot of fun to his ordinary life.

"Auntie, Shen Xue is too easy to get angry, this is not good for her health, it is best to take her to the hospital for examination another day. ”

Isn't this a roundabout way to say that her daughter is sick?

Zhou Huiqin turned back from the passenger seat, gritted her teeth and responded, "Thank you Yaoyao for reminding me!"

Shen Dongcheng looked back at the back of the car, and then said to Zhou Huiqin dissatisfied, "What are you still rubbing? ”

"Good. ”

Zhou Huiqin hurriedly fastened her seat belt.

On the way, several people were quiet.

Shen Dongcheng and Zhou Huiqin occasionally chatted about something, and Shen Xu and Ling Yao were playing with their mobile phones all the time.

"I'm almost at grandma's house, Xiao Xu should be very happy, right? Your grandma has been talking about you for a long time, and after sending you abroad, your grandma still blames us." ”

"yes. Shen Dongcheng said with a smile, "The old man can't see that the juniors are going too far, and they are worried that something will happen." ”

"Of course I'm happy. Shen Xu said, "I miss my grandmother too...... Sister Ling Yao, are you too?"

Ling Yao glanced at him and didn't say a word.

Obviously not buying it.

Shen Xu was not angry, his psychological quality was much better than Shen Xue's.

"Mom, haven't you been thinking about how grandma is doing, you should want to meet grandma, right?"

"Yes. Zhou Huiqin nodded, "After all, I haven't seen each other for a few months." ”

"I also specially found a few recipes for nutritious soup for your grandmother, and when the time comes, I will tell the nanny at home to stew it for your grandmother to drink. ”

When Shen Dongcheng heard this, he couldn't help but praise, "You have a heart." ”

"Mom will be very happy. ”

Zhou Huiqin smiled and didn't speak.

Wang Qiu's happiness could not be because of her, it could only be because of Shen Xu.

No matter how much he serves her, Wang Qiu will only treat her without pretense.

But fortunately, Shen Dongcheng still remembers his own goodness.

"Yaoyao, since you are not always abroad like Xiaoxu, you should go back to see grandma more, grandma is now old, and her body is not as tough as before......"

Zhou Huiqin suddenly cued to Ling Yao.

Ling Yao raised her eyes, "Grandma doesn't necessarily want to see me, I can't do anything, but Auntie will please Grandma, if Auntie doesn't make more children's plays, she can come to accompany Grandma from time to time, Grandma will definitely be happy." ”

"And if my aunt runs here, my younger brothers and sisters will come over often, killing two birds with one stone, and my grandmother will be even happier. ”

Zhou Huiqin's face sank, "Yaoyao said with a smile, Auntie has not yet reached the age of retirement, and she must be busy with work......"

"Auntie, do you think my father can't support you?" Ling Yao once again possessed the "bar essence".

"Not ......"

Zhou Huiqin hurriedly shook her head, "It's just that people still have to work......"

Ling Yao replied, "That's it, Auntie has to work, and I have to go to school, did Auntie forget, I'm already in my third year of high school?"

"This-" Zhou Huiqin was speechless for a moment.

"Alright. Shen Dongcheng interrupted the two of them, "No matter who you are, you can come over occasionally when you have time." ”

"Listen to my husband. Zhou Huiqin replied gently.

Ling Yao didn't say anything more.

The car soon entered the village.

Originally, the road into the village was particularly rugged, with potholes everywhere.

Wang Qiu cheekily asked Ling Yalan for a few words, and Shen Dongcheng said good things, so Ling Yalan invested two-thirds of the money to help the village repair the road.

Ling Yao glanced at the "Monument of Merit" when he entered the village, and Shen Dongcheng's name was ranked first on it!

This made Ling Yao very unhappy in her heart.
