The room was still filled with a dark fragrance, Qin Fan opened the window, and the cold wind outside the window followed, and the heat in his heart calmed down a little.

Thinking of the demon-like Xue Ting, I don't know how many tricks she gave Xuemei? I asked myself what kind of liking Xuemei was, but I was surprised to find that Xuemei's weight in my heart was getting heavier and heavier, and the bits and pieces I usually spent with Xuemei were clearly imprinted in my mind.

"Brother, if you don't get up yet, you're going to have lunch soon. Qin Ying shouted beside the bed, Qin's mother was also patrolling around the room, her nose was also sniffing slightly, there was nothing in the room that they were worried about, Qin Fan opened his eyes in a daze, saw that it was his mother and sister, busy dressing and washing, and instructed the employees who came to take over to take care of the store, so he followed his mother and sister to his grandfather's house.

Most of the local customs are to visit the elders on the first day of the new year. Qin Fan and the others were late, and before they arrived at the entrance of the alley, they saw their cousins and cousins shouting: Coming, coming.

The usually empty room is full of people, most of them are relatives who don't see each other once a year, and they say New Year's greetings to grandpa, grandma and second grandfather and second grandmother, and grandpa and grandma also give Qin Fan and Qin Ying New Year's money according to the old custom, not much money, juniors like Qin Fan are only ten yuan, mainly because there are too many juniors, there are more than a dozen of them, and the cousins and cousins who are younger than Qin Fan take turns kowtowing to the second elder, and then take the red envelope from the grandfather and grandmother who are also laughing Mimi. Dad Qin hasn't come yet, but I heard my mother say that he is also on duty at the unit today.

My grandfather's income in the store is also relatively large, and the dishes on the table this year are much more abundant than in previous years. According to the attention of the older generation, there can be no stir-fried vegetables on the New Year's table, but my grandfather knew that Qin Fan was good, so he personally cooked a few stir-fried dishes.

The uncles and aunts asked each other whose face was so big, and they actually made the second elder break the rules. I all know that grandma is the most taboo during the New Year, there are stir-fried dishes on the table, and in previous years, there were also juniors who quarreled to eat, but they were reprimanded by grandma: Usually noisy is it, but when it comes to the New Year, do you have to quarrel (fry)?

Of course, there is not only this taboo for the New Year, but there are many more.

Even though Qin Fan and Qin Ying had grown into adults, there was still no seat for them at the main table, so they could only sit with their cousins, cousins, and cousins. On weekdays, they have nothing to do with them, just hurriedly finish the meal, and say goodbye to the elders, according to the process of previous years, the elders drank and ate after eating, the card table was set up, and the mahjong was put on, one table was not enough, two tables. Fight until dinner time, and then continue the battle after eating. If it wasn't their turn, they would come to the TV and watch the Spring Festival Gala of the Chinese New Year's Eve again.

Sometimes uncles and aunts, some of them get closer, and they inevitably have such and such contradictions, and at this time, while my grandfather and second grandfather are there, they talk about their own reasoning and even quarrel.

Qin Fan was scared that these people quarreled during the New Year, after all, his identity was a junior, and he was not allowed to speak, under normal circumstances, he either looked for a book to read, or went to the street to stroll, in fact, shopping for the New Year was the most uneventful, every shop was closed, and only someone on the side of the road sold some fireworks and firecrackers and the like.

As soon as Qin Fan walked out of the alley, he was stopped by a girl, Qin Fan looked at it for a long time, and finally recognized it as his grandfather's neighbor, Wei Feifei of Uncle Wei's family.

"I really don't recognize it, how did you become so beautiful?" Qin Fan blurted out, this was really not against his will, in front of him, it was a completely different Fei Fei from before.

"Brother Qin Fan, I'm really sorry that day, I, I blamed you. Fei Fei blushed and apologized.

Looking at Fei Fei, who looked like someone else, Qin Fan really didn't dare to recognize it. "How did you become like this?" Qin Fan still couldn't help but ask curiously.

Wei Feifei showed a sad expression: "Since my brother left, I have repeatedly reflected on my previous absurdities, and I can't take my brother's path anymore, so, so ......"

Qin Fan was suspicious of her words, the bad impression that the little sister gave him in the past was too deep, although he himself was not a good person. But looking back and thinking about it, maybe the great changes in the family hit her too hard, the eldest brother was killed, the second brother and the third brother are still absconding, the eldest sister has already married someone else, and she is the only one left in the family who is dependent on her parents who are in pain, and she has lost the support of her eldest brother, and the people who were bullied by her have returned to take revenge on her.

Seeing her crying, Qin Fan's heart softened and comforted: "Feifei, you are still young, don't think so much, live a good life, and spend more time with your parents." ”

"But how can I live a good life?" asked Fei Fei, holding him by the sleeve of his coat.

"Isn't it good that you do a good job in your studies and be admitted to university in the future?" Qin Fan led her to the side of the road, and the pedestrians who came in and out of the alley looked at them strangely, why did such a beautiful girl cry during the New Year?

"I missed too many classes and couldn't make up for it, and being admitted to university was a luxury for me. Besides, as you know about my family's situation, I can't go to school in such an environment. Fei Fei replied in frustration.

Qin Fan was speechless, if she didn't study at such a young age, could she still do it?

"Brother Qin Fan, I heard that you have opened two restaurants, do you think I can go to work there?" Fei Fei still held his sleeve and pleaded.

"Nonsense, you're still a student, what class do you take, I remember you are a sophomore in high school this year. Qin Fan said unhappily.

"But I really can't study, or I will go to you to study first during this vacation, Brother Qin Fan, I really can't stay at home, I look at my parents every day and sigh, I, I ......" said Tears flowed down again.

Qin Fan couldn't see the girl crying in front of him, and thought about the situation in her family, looking at the crying Fei Fei, and suddenly saw Fei Fei who followed him when he was a child, shouting "Brother Qin Fan" in a milky voice.

"Okay, don't cry, so you can try it in two days. Qin Fan finally relented. When Fei Fei heard this, she burst into tears and smiled, and smiled sweetly: "I know that Brother Qin Fan loves me the most." Qin Fan sounded a little awkward, and said in his heart when did he hurt her?

"Alright, so be it. After saying that, he waved at her and said goodbye. But after walking a few steps, when I looked back, I saw her following him step by step.

Qin Fan stopped and asked, "Didn't I promise you, do you have anything else?" Fei Fei showed a pitiful expression, lowered her head and whispered: "I have nowhere to go, I don't want to go home now, I want to accompany you for a while." ”

Qin Fan couldn't cry or laugh a little, and when he came out for a walk, he could still stick a small tail. Gao'an City is so big, with her, if you run into an acquaintance, you will inevitably have to explain it, and if you can't explain it, it will inevitably arouse suspicion.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Mother Chang, do you know each other?" Fei Fei nodded, Chang Jun also played with them when he was a child.

"Accompany me to see Chang's mother. Qin Fan said.

"Didn't you say that you can't go to other people's houses on the first day of junior high school?" Fei Fei asked puzzled, remembering the local customs.

"Is Mother Chang someone else?" Qin Fan replied disapplausively.

After selling some fruits and pastries on the side of the road, he took Fei Fei to her mother's house.

It is still a low and simple bungalow, and when I arrived at the house where Chang's mother lived, the door was closed, there were no Spring Festival couplets on the door, and there were no traces of firecrackers at the door.

"Mother Chang, are you at home?" Qin Fan stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, an old voice came from the house: "Is Jun'er back?"

Qin Fan's nose was sour, and he said, "Mom, it's Jun'er who is back." ”

Fei Fei behind him looked at Qin Fan suspiciously.
