I don't know what Lao Zhou was like when he was young, in short, he is a somewhat dull person now, he doesn't talk much, and there is always an uncomfortable tone in a few words, like a leader.

Zhou Li and Zhu Shuang are used to it.

Generally speaking, Zhou Li doesn't like to deal with him very much. Zhu Shuang will perfunctory him on the surface, but actually the left ear goes in and out of the right ear.

Lao Zhou also knows it, but in the same way, he is also used to it - this is already their family's mode of life, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, just live like this, just right.

But Zhu Shuang's sister is not used to it.

So every time before she came, Aunt Jiang had to warn Lao Zhou a few words, let him say a few more words, and it was best to care about others, so that people could feel that this uncle was 'quite kind', and there would be no resistance next time.

Lao Zhou has also done a good job every year.

and the little girl's most jerky is Zhou Li.

Zhou Li is not an extrovert, let alone a self-acquaintance, every time a little girl comes, he feels angry and embarrassed. After a few days of getting along, she finally got acquainted with each other, and after saving a few words, she left again. The next time I come is two years later, and for teenage boys and girls, two years can often make a lot of changes, personality, appearance...... Okay, let's start all over again.

The cycle has been repeated several times.

This year is slightly better.

On the one hand, Zhou left Lang a lot, and it was thanks to Brother Nan and the old monster who was pacing in the living room.

On the other hand, there is the presence of Dango-sama.

Dango-sama is a good hand at livening up the atmosphere, and even if she doesn't have to do anything, she can do whatever she wants, and she can get a group of people who also like cats together and talk a lot. If she did it on purpose, it would be even worse.

"Zhou Li, give a bowl of fish soup and rice to Lord Tuanzi. Tuanzi licked his mouth and looked at Zhou Li.

“......”

Zhou Li silently picked up her rice bowl and walked to the kitchen, while the dumplings sat upright, staring at Zhou Li, Ren Zhushuang and the little girl handed the white-cut chicken to her mouth, and she ignored it.

Soon, Zhou Li returned.

Tuanzi's eyes followed Zhou Li, fell on the rice bowl held by Zhou Li, and quickly raised his head dissatisfied: "It's just this one ...... lost."

"Love to eat or not. ”

"I always have a sense that you really understand each other. Zhu Shuang said.

"Me too. The little girl also said weakly.

"She was complaining that there was too little food. Zhou Li said.

"Cats can't eat too much, especially pet cats, their physique is not as good as pastoral cats......" Zhu Shuang is very concerned about the adult Tuanzi.

"Yes. The little girl chimed in.

"Meow Meow~~"

"What did it say?" Zhu Shuang looked at Zhou Li.

The little girl also cast a concerned look.

Zhou Li shook his head: "I don't understand ......"

"Meow Meow!!"

"Silly, right?" Zhou Li hesitated and guessed.

"Oh. ”

Meal.

Zhou Li took the initiative to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, he silently put a few plates of chicken feet and chicken wings and braised beef on a plate, ready to wait for a while no one paid attention or found some reason to bring them into the room.

Lao Zhou sat on the sofa, tinkered with his mobile phone for a while, and began to sing Huangmei Minor in the speaker-

"Yingtai is not a daughter, why are there ring marks on her ears?"

"There is a reason for the earring marks, why should Brother Liang be suspicious, there are many temple fairs in the village, and I will play ......Guanyin every year" The old-fashioned tone, "Brother Liang, you have to concentrate on making a fuss, and you don't want to think about the hairpin skirt ...... in the future"

"I don't dare to look at Guanyin ...... again"

Lao Zhou crossed Erlang's legs, hummed quietly with the tone, and drew circles with his index finger.

Zhu Shuang and his sister glanced at each other, with a smile on their faces, and then he looked at Zhou Li again, his eyes were intriguing.

Zhou Li also smiled at him.

Zhou Li only remembered that when he was a child, his grandfather would put on these operas every New Year, not only Huangmei Minor, but also various local operas, and there was nothing to play in those days.

Now Lao Zhou also puts it every year, probably because he is used to it, or maybe he just misses his father.

It's just that the VCD is gone, and the old man is gone.

Zhou Li thought about it, turned around and returned to the dining room, served the plate of cold dishes, and took a bottle of Coke to the bedroom.

"You haven't eaten yet?" asked Lao Zhou.

"I watch movies as a snack. Zhou Li replied.

"You're getting bigger. Zhu Shuang said, and suddenly asked again, "Will you go out to watch fireworks again this night?" ”

"Good. ”

The room was freshly cleaned up, the sheets and quilt covers had just been washed, and the room was filled with a faint smell of laundry detergent and a smell of frying that could barely be smelled without careful smelling.

Zhou Li leaned over to the trash can and looked at it, and there were four or five paper bags containing pot helmets.

"That sister of yours is pretty good-looking. Huai Xu said.

“？”

"I'll just tell me, where are you going to watch the fireworks at night? Can you put them off? Take me with you! Everyone in your family has seen me!" Huai Xu took the cold dish and drink, and couldn't wait to say, "I'll go get some small fireworks to set off!"

"Look out of town. Zhou Li whispered.

"Bring me, bring me!"

"Good. ”

"Who are going? Aunt Jiang and Lao Zhou are going?"

Zhou Li was inconvenient to speak, so he only shook his head, then turned on the computer and found a recent popular drama to watch.

It's called "Black Mirror".

But American dramas and British dramas have a big drawback, saying that they just drive, and there is no foreshadowing at all. was chatting normally in front, but a strange sound came out as soon as the camera turned, which frightened him to turn off the volume in a hurry.

The sound of opera outside is still continuous, and it should not be heard.

Then Zhou Li glanced to the side-

Huai Xu maintained the posture of stuffing the chicken feet into his mouth, but he didn't move, looking at him with strange eyes.

"Zhou Li, you have grown up. He put down his chicken feet.

“......”

"Don't be shy, I've seen a lot of this. ”

“......”

"Really, I've been to the palace to steal things before, and I've seen the emperor and several concubines......"

"Please don't say it. ”

"Oh. ”

Only then did Huai Xu pick up the chicken feet and continue to gnaw.

In the evening, eight o'clock.

Zhu Shuang heard a muffled sound from afar, he hurriedly leaned on the window and looked out, and saw a light flickering on the other side of the mountain, so he hurriedly ran and knocked on Zhou Li's door-

"Brother!"

"Brother!"

"Watch the fireworks!"

The door opened, and Zhou Li walked out.

The Spring Festival Gala has begun to be played on the TV in the living room, Lao Zhou is sitting on the sofa watching, and Aunt Jiang is looking downstairs from the window. The cars on the road downstairs are lined up in a long line, and the headlights are like ribbons.

"It's a bit congested outside, be careful when driving. Aunt Jiang reminded, "It's cold outside, wear thicker clothes, you can take your time." ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhu Shuang's tone was a little perfunctory.

Go out, go downstairs.

Zhou Li said in the elevator: "I'll call another friend of mine, who has been to our house before, is called Huaixu." ”

"Oh I remember!"

Zhu Shuang has a very good personality, careful, kind and cheerful and outgoing, Zhu Bing is the same, it should be the genetic Aunt Jiang - Zhou Li specially asked Aunt Jiang the name of this little girl in the afternoon, and I heard Aunt Jiang say that he also asked this question two years ago.

Then Aunt Jiang emphasized to him that Zhu Shuang's double is two again, and Zhu Bing's ice is two water.

Zhou Li said that he remembered.

At least now he does remember, and as for what will happen in two years, he will talk about it in two years.

After getting into the car, Zhu Shuangxing began to tell Zhu Bing how Zhou Li's car came about, Zhu Bing's eyes widened when he heard it, and then under her curiosity, he vaguely mentioned the relationship between Zhou Li and Brother Nan, and then began to talk about Brother Nan...... Zhou Li only drove the car concentrating on the front and filtered out all these noises, otherwise he would be embarrassed.

Pick up the Huai order and drive straight out of the city.

The road is a bit congested.

The sky outside the city is darker and deeper, and the light of the fireworks explosion is more conspicuous, and even the fireworks can be seen clearly occasionally.

Their destination was a town outside the city, and in previous years they had been on bicycles or taken by Lao Zhou to see them. Riding a bicycle at night in winter is like having a knife to cut your hands, Lao Zhou sent them, and they had to come back early, after all, they were not as comfortable as today.

As we approached the town, the fireworks did become dense.

Zhou Li parked the car on the side of the road at the top of a slope, and then a group of people got out of the car and climbed up the hill on the side.

Far EasTone telecommunications kept coming from the muffled sound of fireworks, like a heavy drum beating, which made people's hearts involuntarily beat faster and trot quickly.

Stepping to the top of the hill, you can see the town in full view, and the height of the fireworks is almost at their level.

"Wow!"

"Bang, bang, bang......"

Fireworks of different colors explode in the night sky ahead, creating a dazzling picture against the pitch-black screen.

Huai Xu was stunned.

After a long time, he sighed: "What a prosperous age!"

Not only here, but also in almost every part of the country.

On the edge of Dianchi Lake——

Standing on the top of the western mountain, the red-dyed pestle cane quietly watched the fireworks show blooming above the park opposite.

Next to a certain section of national highway -

The big demon like a giant monk folded his hands and stood motionless on the mountainside, the corners of his mouth still hooked with a faint arc.

Barren Mountains and Forests –

Lin Zhong stood motionless in the room with his eyes closed, the night sky was very quiet, but after a long time, he whispered to himself: "It's really an era that has never been before......"

Then he began to hum a ballad.

Yancheng Middle School——

The fluffy monster stood in the middle of the playground in a daze, tilting its head, thinking that thunder was happening in the distance, but it didn't find the electric light.

He was a little overwhelmed.

Next to the school district room——

On the fence on the roof of the building, two little demons sat side by side, next to the cat food that had just been snatched and the candy that Zhou Li had sent in the afternoon.

They whispered.

A small village dozens of kilometers away -

A tall girl with an antenna on her head stood with her friends and family, and the fireworks exploded overhead, blooming with stunning beauty. Everyone but her was holding up their phones, and she was the only one looking up intently.

Soon ash fell into her eyes, and she just rubbed it.

And then keep staring, staring......

Yin-Yang Temple –

Zheng Zhilan stood in the courtyard and looked into the distance, there was a slight light flickering on the other side of the mountain, and a slight sound came. The sound and the light were much denser than last night's, but far away, so far away that she could barely notice them.

The evil god behind the house lay on the top of the mountain, his head slightly bowed, and the fireworks that bloomed from the bottom of the mountain were reflected in his huge eyes.

......
