The Chinese New Year's Eve in the nursing home is very lively, and many residents do not return home to celebrate the New Year. Six tables were set for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and with the relatives of the residents, there were many people in the restaurant.

This year, Zhong Yanyu was at home for the New Year, and Zhong's mother was very happy, and she drank two small glasses of red wine and wanted to pour another glass, but was stopped by Zhong Yanyu.

"You're still recovering, is it appropriate to drink so much wine?" Zhong Yanyu took the wine glass and went to find juice for Zhong's mother.

Mother Zhong pretended to be angry and looked at the girl who left the table, put the prawns on Ji Siqi's plate, and said with a smile: "I haven't been so lively on Chinese New Year's Eve for many years." In previous years, you accompanied me for lunch, and I only ate Chinese New Year's Eve. This year, Yeon-yeon was at home, and I was happy to drink two glasses of wine. She's in charge. ”

"You're not fit to drink right now, and Yan Yu made an exception for letting you drink two glasses. Ji Siqi poured tea into Zhong's mother's ear and whispered: "She is willing to talk to me today." ”

"Really?" Mother Zhong was surprised, put down her chopsticks and said, "I said that it is impossible for your iron relationship to collapse." She's just stubborn. Don't worry, Aunt Zhong will help you speak. ”

Ji Siqi smiled, but was faintly gloomy. He didn't know if Zhong Yanyu would deliberately avoid himself in the future.

Zhong Yanyu walked to the beverage area to get juice, turned around and caught a glimpse of the phalaenopsis bonsai placed at the front desk of the hall on the first floor in the distance, and remembered to return the gift to Ye Jingyu. Two pots of phalaenopsis together for nearly 1,000 yuan, Zhong Yanyu thought about it for an afternoon and planned to refer to Ji Siqi's opinion, go to the mall the day after tomorrow to pick up two sets of Lego bricks, and wait for the fourth day of junior high school to give back. Without merit, Zhong Yanyu can't take two pots of flowers for nothing to take advantage of Ye Jingyu.

The mobile phone buzzed a few times, and Zhong Yanyu took out the mobile phone from his jacket pocket and looked at it. There are hundreds of new news in the group of young pilots of Star Airlines, and colleagues at home and abroad are basking in Chinese New Year's Eve, of course, there are many people stationed abroad, and most of the information is envious of the words of the New Year at home. Someone Aite Zhong Yanyu asked her to express her thoughts on going back to home for the New Year, and she directly Aite Jiang Yi showed up to say. Jiang Yi sent a vicissitudes of smoking expression, and replied: Senior sister, you are asking me to pull hatred, and by the way, I will send a photo of eating and drinking.

The group immediately exploded, denouncing Jiang Yi for being inhumane and asking Jiang Yi to send red envelopes. Zhong Yanyu looked at Jiang Yi and these people fighting pictures, smiled and found out the expression of watching the play and threw it in the group, and then sent a red envelope to congratulate the New Year and withdrew, and after returning a circle of New Year's greeting messages, she received a voice message from Ye Jingyu.

Now it's time to eat, Zhong Yanyu wondered what was going on with Ye Jingyu sending a message at this time, but when she clicked on it, she heard Shen Zhixi's little milk voice. There were two TVs in the restaurant, and the music was loud, overpowering Shen Zhixi's voice. Zhong Yanyu quickly put the juice in front of Zhong's mother, pointed outside with her mobile phone, and listened to the voice.

Mother Zhong was alert and asked Ji Siqi nervously: "Could it be that the company asked Yanyan to go back?" ”

"She has just returned from Europe, and according to the company's requirements, she can only fly for the next flight after at least three days of rest, and it should not be the company that contacted her. Ji Siqi comforted Zhong's mother, and saw that Zhong Yanyu turned right and went out of the hall, and had doubts.

"That's good. Mother Zhong calmed down, and gave braised pork to Ji Siqi, "Let's make dumplings together." After you finish eating the dumplings, you will go to the airport to pick up your dad and go back to your hometown. After the third year of junior high school, you and your dad come back, let's have a meal together, we haven't been together for a long time. ”

Ji Siqi responded, found a clean cup and poured juice for Zhong's mother, but she didn't see Zhong Yanyu come back when she turned around.

Shen Zhixi sent a New Year's greeting voice, which was intermittently not very clear, thanks to Zhong Yanyu's good hearing due to his professional habits, he could tell that Shen Zhixi was saying auspicious words, which was strangely sweet, and he also replied with a New Year's greeting word, and then received a voice call from Ye Jingyu.

As soon as the phone was connected, Shen Zhixi first said, "Auntie, shall we go skiing together?"

Zhong Yanyu was stunned and replied, "What did your uncle tell you?"

"Hmm. Shen Zhixi responded crisply, "Grandma Zheng can't come back because of something, can Auntie take me to play for a day?" ”

Zhong Yanyu laughed when she heard this, and asked her, "Your uncle asked you to ask me, or did you call and ask yourself?"

"Uncle asked me to ask. Shen Zhixi replied honestly, "Uncle said that I want to trouble my aunt, so I have to ask myself." ”

Zhong Yanyu understood what was going on, and without waiting for a reply, she heard Shen Zhixi say: "If Auntie doesn't agree, I can't go skiing with my brother and uncle." Auntie can you help me. ”

Zhong Yanyu couldn't bear to hear the pitiful voice, and she said, "No problem." ”

Shen Zhixi smiled, and there was silence in the earpiece for a moment, as if she was listening to others, and then said to the mobile phone: "Thank you, Auntie." ”

"You're welcome. "Zhong Yanyu likes this little girl very much, probably because she teaches well at home.

Shen Zhixi said again: "Auntie, do you still have peach candy?"

Zhong Yanyu just opened her mouth when she heard Ye Jingyu say, "I didn't teach you to say this." ”

"I can swap with my aunt. I also have sugar. Shen Zhixi was sullen, "Then uncle will buy it for me?"

"You have a lot of candy, and you still want to buy it?" Ye Jingyu's voice became very clear, and he probably took the phone.

Shen Zhixi coquettishly: "Uncle buy it for me." I like to eat my aunt's peach candy. My uncle bought me a pack, and I bought a pack. ”

Ye Jingyu didn't speak, and Zhong Yanyu could feel his helplessness through his mobile phone. She raised her lips and said, "Auntie has a lot of them here, and I will bring them to you on the fourth day of junior high school." ”

"Yes, thank you, Auntie!" Shen Zhixi cheered, his heart was full of joy, thinking about Zhong Yanyu's candy for almost a night. This kid is all right with sugar.

Ye Jingyu called Shen Sibo to take Shen Zhixi to dinner, picked up his mobile phone and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you." ”

"It's okay, I'm free right now. Zhong Yanyu smiled back, and then quipped: "I thought you were taking the children out alone, it turns out that you still have helpers." ”

"I can't bring it alone. Ye Jingyu said, "Especially since she is a girl, it is inconvenient for me to take her out." Generally, when I go out for more than half a day, my aunt at home will follow. Originally, Aunt Zheng came back on the evening of the third day of the new year, but something at home was changed to the sixth day of the new year. So please help the fourth junior high school to take care of her for a while, mainly to go to the toilet. The rest is nothing, she can do it herself. ”

"It's a little thing, I can handle it. Zhong Yanyu replied cheerfully, "What's her name?"

"Shen Zhixi. You can just call her Xixi. ”

"It's good. Zhong Yanyu praised it sincerely, thinking that their family names were good, and said politely: "Thank you for helping me pick flowers today." My mom likes it very much, but she just broke the bank. ”

"If my aunt likes it, it's fine. Ye Jingyu replied warmly, and then talked about three tips for raising phalaenopsis, all of which are more practical.

Zhong Yanyu found that he was very attentive to life, and his advice was suitable for people who did not often raise flowers, and the maintenance procedure was not cumbersome and convenient for Zhong's mother to operate. And the elders are all saved, and it will be distressing to throw away hundreds of flowers. He also suggested that Zhong Yanyu prune off the failed flowers as soon as possible, apply thin fertilizer frequently to extend the life of the flowers, and maybe see the flowering period for another year, which is very intimate.

"You're professional. Zhong Yanyu admired, "If I buy it myself, this flower will be raised for three months at most, and I will say goodbye completely." My mother asked me to buy a pot because she thought it looked good because she saw it raised by others, and she didn't understand. ”

"Normally, three months is about the same. This flower is delicate. Ye Jingyu said, "It didn't take long for my flowers to be delivered." I am learning and selling, and I am consulting with the elders in my family. ”

Zhong Yanyu didn't believe what he said, can he be so sure that he can ask for advice? He definitely knows how to raise flowers, plus cooking, photography and taking care of children, Zhong Yanyu is really curious about what skills he has not yet disclosed. This man has a mystique of his own.

The calm female voice was calling Ye Jingyu, and Zhong Yanyu sounded like Ye Jingyu's elder. Ye Jingyu responded, turned back to Zhong Yanyu and said, "Xixi likes to eat peach-flavored candy the most, and I went home and rummaged through the sugar box three times, saying that it was not as delicious as your sugar." I only let her eat two pieces a day. If she always asks you for candy, you say I don't agree. She doesn't make trouble, and she's an obedient child. ”

Zhong Yanyu secretly felt that his uncle was as careful as his father, and replied: "Coincidentally, I also like peach-flavored candy, and I have stocked up a lot." However, I basically buy the pulp to make it, which is better than pure syrup seasoning, and I can't eat more. I'll pay attention that day. ”

Ye Jingyu snorted: "I'm sorry for you." He paused and said, "Happy New Year." ”

"Happy New Year. After Zhong Yanyu finished speaking, she thought of Ye Jingyu asking her to help say hello to Zhong's mother in the afternoon, and she added a sentence back and forth: "I also wish my uncle and aunt a happy New Year." ”

Ye Jingyu didn't answer, there was silence in the receiver, and the call didn't end.

Zhong Yanyu thought that this was the end of the conversation, but the phone didn't hang up, so she waited. Half a minute later, Ye Jingyu thanked him and ended the call. Zhong Yanyu stood in place and recalled, feeling that Ye Jingyu's mood was not high, his voice was low, not as hearty as in the morning.

"I didn't say the wrong thing this time, did I?" Zhong Yanyu was strange, frowning at the thought of the expressionless face in the reception room, and still liked to look at the pair of sweet pear vortexes.

"Yanyu, what are you doing standing there, come back and make dumplings. Aunt Zhou, the manager of the sanatorium, brought a large basin at the door of the restaurant and said with a smile: "I prepared your favorite mushroom filling." You eat more tonight. ”

Zhong Yanyu put away her mobile phone and walked over to help serve the basin and asked Aunt Zhou, "Did my mother ask you to prepare mushroom filling?" I guess only I love to eat, let's not wrap too much, waste. ”

"Siqi instructed. Aunt Zhou said, "He told me early in the morning. It's not easy for you to spend the New Year at home, so I'll help me take care of these tables later, and stay with Sister Zhong more. Oh, by the way, some of the family members of the new residents have asked me about you. When they heard that you were the captain, they were very curious and said that they would introduce you to someone. Wait for me to inquire for you, and we'll meet if there's a suitable one, and you're not too young. ”

When people reach age, they can't do without the routine of getting married and having children. Not only Mother Zhong is anxious, but the aunts who have a good relationship with Mother Zhong are also worried about Zhong Yanyu. Aunt Zhou is a classmate of Aunt Ji Siqi, so she naturally got close to Zhong Yanyu and helped Zhang Luo several times, but it didn't work out, not because of Zhong Yanyu, but because Zhong Yanyu couldn't take care of her family at this job, and the blind date ended without a problem.

Zhong Yanyu smiled faintly, and didn't say anything in response, she was used to this.

At eight o'clock, every family in Beijing began to make dumplings, and when ten o'clock came to eat a plate, Chinese New Year's Eve was complete.

There weren't many cars on the road, it was empty, and the sky was occasionally bursting with fireworks.

Ye Jingyu drove into a demonstration street alley in the old city, and then parked the car in the garage of a renovated courtyard house.

People come and go in the alley to pay New Year's greetings, lively and lively, but this set of courtyard houses with the largest area is deserted.

Ye Jingxuan's Chinese New Year's Eve night has always been so silent, he has forgotten what it should be like for the family to sit together for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
