9. New Year's Eve
The last night of 2002.
At Lele's instigation, we did not participate in the gala organized by the class, but quietly slipped out of the classroom through the back door and came to the open-air platform on the roof of the administrative building.
The cold winter wind was blowing coldly, and after staying for long, the two of them couldn't help but shiver. In desperation, we had to run back to the corridor and choose a leeward position to sit down. Lele sucked his nose, which was red from the cold, snuggled up to me, and sang F4's "Season of Fireworks" intoxicated by the reflection of the brilliant fireworks in the sky.
"With your smiling eyes I see countless sunny days,
The day I kissed your face,
Own the whole world.
The future is a circle, between you and my ring fingers,
Crowning our promises, perfect ends.
I will carry you into the inside of my coat, and protect you from the wind and snow,
Let you lean on my shoulder and share every tomorrow.
Take your hand and feel the most enchanting season of fireworks,
Illuminate the moment of happiness so that we can see further.
Take your hand and feel the most enchanting season of fireworks,
Light up everything in life, bloom our joy,
In loving you every day......"
"Let's go to the beach to see the stars together on vacation, the night sky there is really beautiful......" Listening to Lele humming softly, I couldn't help but close my eyes and fantasize thoughtfully.
"That's what you said! Don't play tricks!" Lele suddenly stopped singing, turned his head, stretched out his little finger and stared at me mischievously, "Beizi pig, let's pull the hook." ”
I shaved the cute little nose of Scratch Le with my hand: "People who are dozens of years old, still playing with retractors, playing at home?"
"Nonsense, how can you be dozens of years old!" Lele struggled to sit up from my arms, put on a very angry expression and said, "Hmph! Beizi pig, are you pulling or not pulling?"
"Uhhh......h Pull, of course, my dear wife. I shrugged my shoulders helplessly, hugged Lele again, and then stretched out my little finger, and the two little fingers instantly hooked tightly together, "Hang yourself on the hook, and you won't change for a hundred years." ”
"That's right, don't keep calling me a pig, I'm not a pig!" I took Lele's little hand and protested solemnly.
"You're a pig in the first place, and you won't admit it. Lele leaned lazily on my shoulder, staring up at the night sky intently, "Then what do you say I should call you?
"Well, if I call you daughter-in-law in the future, you can call me Xianggong. I touched the back of my head and said clearly.
"Daughter-in-law, you're a big-headed ghost!" Lele suddenly jumped up and shoved me from behind. I was defenseless, stumbled and rolled down the steps.
Seeing that I fell "with my butt facing the sky, flat sand and falling geese", Lele was also frightened and hurriedly ran down the stairs to collect the body for me.
"Daughter-in-law...... You don't need to be so ruthless! Murder your husband!" Fortunately, there was no one around, so I rolled over and sat up, rubbed my aching buttocks, and pretended to say, "Die Lele, don't come and help me!
Le Le saw that I could still joke, knowing that I was fine, and immediately threw his head to the side: "Hmph! Get up yourself! Let you take advantage of me, you deserve to die!"
"Ahh
Lele sneered: "That's what you asked for yourself." ”
I looked up and looked up, and I was glad that I could still be unscathed after falling from such a high place, what a blessing and a great life! I patted the dust on my body and said to Lele: "It's cold, let's go back to the classroom." ”
"Hmm. Lele nodded and grabbed my arm.
"Hello sister-in-law!" As soon as we walked to the edge of the playground, a familiar voice came from behind, and I knew it must be Haozi without looking back.
Lele embarrassedly let go of my arm, turned around and smiled at Haozi, which was regarded as a greeting.
"Hehe, I won't disturb your little sweetness! I'll go first!" Haozi saw Lele's embarrassment, so he trotted all the way past us, then turned around and grimaced, and slipped away with a grin.
Passing by the small playground in front of the classroom, Chu Chu and a group of girls were playing with fireworks there, and found me and Lele passing by, Chu Chu was busy waving the fireworks in his hand at us, and he seemed to be shouting something. Unfortunately, the surroundings were too noisy to hear Chu's voice clearly, so I had to smile at Chu Chu slightly apologetically. Chu Chu didn't care about my reaction, and after shouting, he turned his head and continued to play crazy.
Lele obviously had a trace of hostility towards Chu Chu, and when she saw me stop, she tugged at my sleeve and said with some resentment: "Look at it! Let's go......" Without waiting for me to react, she pulled me into the classroom.
In the classroom, Adu's famous song "It's Dark" is playing.
"When I close my eyes, it's dark, a feeling of being torn, and my mouth is filled with blood...... The sad lyrics are accentuated by Adusha's hoarse voice, giving people an indescribable sadness, and the song seems to be a little out of place.
It didn't take long for the party to end amid the frolic of the classmates, and when I looked at my phone, it was not yet 9 o'clock.
"Go to McDonald's and sit down. "I don't want to go home so early to study.
"Well, listen to you. Lele turned his head and smiled sweetly.
……
Coming out of McDonald's, there were noticeably fewer people on the street than before, so quiet that you could only hear the rustle of leaves in the wind.
Lele raised his hand, put it to his mouth and sighed, then rubbed it vigorously: "It's so cold." ”
"Is it cold?" I naturally pulled Lele's hand over and held it in my palm. A cold wind blew, and Lele was so excited that she shivered several times in a row, and I hurriedly hugged her into my arms. Two young children who have just learned how to fall in love are standing on the empty street like fools, showing our happiness to the world.
On the way home, Lele mischievously chased after the shadow I cast on the ground, and he didn't know what he was muttering. The Christmas atmosphere has not completely dissipated, and there are still many colorful decorations hanging on a huge Christmas tree in front of the roadside church, and there are many colorful wishing notes around the decorations.
Lele stopped in front of the Christmas tree, and seemed to be attracted by the clear or unclear handwriting on the wishing note, and refused to leave for a long time.
"Ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable, thousands of miles of lonely graves with nowhere to talk about desolation......" In these dense wishing notes, I suddenly found that one of them actually had Su Shi's eulogy written on it, and the bright red handwriting and the content that was incompatible with the Christmas atmosphere made people feel even more dazzling.
Curiosity drove me to continue reading, and below Su Shi's eulogy, there were several lines of small words:
Your smile is still flickering in front of you.
Why, however, your voice is gone.
Your words are still as clear as they are.
However, why, I can't hear the content clearly.
Your appearance will still appear in my dreams.
But, why, you can't walk in front of me.
Between us, it was just a game of hide and seek.
But you have hid myself somewhere you will never find me.
Tell me, is it useless to try.
Answer me, if I shed all my tears, you won't come back.
Forgive me, I can't forget you.
What kind of door is it?
It can separate us from two worlds.
Love each other for a lifetime, grow old, never give up,
These are also weak words.
It's just that I haven't started to get used to life without you......"
I just read this text on the Internet not long ago, and I didn't expect to read it again in such an atmosphere today.
I don't know when, Lele also noticed this note that made people feel a little sad, and for a moment, Lele seemed to be deeply involved in that sadness.
"Xiaobei, if there is a ...... one day" Lele suddenly raised his head and stopped talking. Seeing that the situation was not good, I hurriedly stretched out my hand and covered Lele's mouth: "Don't say unlucky things in the New Year!"
Lele broke my hand hard, stuck out his tongue and looked at me with some grievances: "Xiaobei, I'...... I'm just wondering if ...... If there really is a day...... How long can you remember me?"
I hugged Lele into my arms, pressed it to the root of her ear, and whispered, "It will be forever...... Forever. ”
