Chapter 17: The Thirty Years of the Chinese New Year's Eve That Is Not Deserted
Xiao Yadong was already sitting in Liu Tiejun's office at this time, smoking leisurely, and when he saw the other party entering the door with a smile, he thought it was done. "Lao Liu, how is it? It's hard work!" Xiao Yadong hurriedly got up and enthusiastically handed over a cigarette.
"What's going on?" Liu Tiejun's face changed, pretending to be confused.
"Pretending to be stupid? Li Tianchou's bail pending trial?" Xiao Yadong knew that Liu Tiejun was pretending to be 13.
"Where did you run just now, let Lao Tzu be alone in front, mom is always used as a gun by you. Liu Tiejun complained dissatisfied.
"Didn't we discuss it? Didn't you also see me go downstairs to deal with the reporter? Is the reporter easy to deal with? and still play with me?" Xiao Yadong was also not polite.
"No, do you see? Liu Tiejun didn't make a fuss anymore, raised the paper in Yang's hand, a little proud, "I have additional conditions, it's not enough to just invite guests to drink." Help me on duty tonight. ”
"Your uncle, sit on the ground and start the price?" Xiao Yadong shouted, "No, I haven't been home for Chinese New Year's Eve for two years, you are also kind to mention such a thing?"
"Okay, it seems that you are great, and I don't bother to talk to you. Don't talk to me about the conditions, just one sentence, okay, or no?" Liu Tiejun was categorical and calm.
Xiao Yadong's facial features were a little distorted, and he struggled for a long time, and two words popped out of his teeth, "Deal!".
"Happy!" Liu Tiejun immediately carried his briefcase, and when he walked to the door, he stuffed the paper in his hand to Xiao Yadong and said, "Help me lock the door of the office, by the way, Liu Ju asked you to call him." Happy New Year!" Before the words fell, the man had already run out of the door. The whole action was smooth and clean, and Xiao Yadong didn't even have time to react.
"Nima's, this old fox!" Xiao Yadong shook his head helplessly.
When Li Tianchou walked out of the public security bureau, it was already evening, and it was completely dark. The streets and alleys are full of firecrackers, and the sky over the city is bursting with brilliant fireworks from time to time, and the flavor of the New Year is strong. This is the first time Li Tianchou has spent the New Year in a metropolis like SZ, and it seems to be a New Year that he feels very cold.
He refused Xiao Yadong to see him off in a car, but walked back on foot. Stroll through the streets, where pedestrians are sparse. Li Tianchou recalled this inexplicable lawsuit, and the end was also inexplicable, not only lamenting the impermanence of the world. Hey, anyway, the trouble is over for now.
He is very glad that he chose to trust Xiao Yadong, otherwise he is now a fugitive, or he is going to go to prison? At this time, I don't know how my parents celebrated the New Year, has my little sister grown taller? What is Sandou doing this Chinese New Year's Eve night? Have you gone to Huaishan? Daqi's injuries have healed, right...... Just thinking about it all the way, I actually walked to the door of the dormitory.
Li Tianchou's eyes flickered, and he found a person squatting at the door, and when he saw through the dim light, it turned out to be Sandou. It seemed that he was asleep, Li Tianchou squatted down and gently patted Sandou's shoulder, "Sandou, wake up." ”
Sandou raised his head and rubbed his blurred eyes, looked at it, couldn't help but have a sour nose, tears fell out, and he whimpered: "Brother Tianchou, where did you go, I'm about to die...... Nowhere can I find you, San'er said that you were arrested by the police...... Woo, the captain didn't tell the truth, saying that you went to help the police identify the murderer, and you came back immediately, but I couldn't see you all day, woo woo......"
"The captain is right, I went to help the police identify the murderer, and there was a bit of a delay. You...... Hey, why didn't you go to Huaishan when you squatted here for the New Year?" Li Tianchou felt sad, and hurriedly helped Sandou up and entered the dormitory together.
"Isn't I going to go to Huaishan with you? You're not here, and it's not interesting for me to go alone. Sandou said while wiping his tears.
Li Tianchou understands that Sandou is honest and honest, and if he wants to be good to people, he is a tendon. So from childhood to adulthood, the brothers for many years, even if they inevitably stumble when they get along with each other in their daily lives, he has never really hurt Sandou. Emotionally, he has regarded the other party as his dear brother.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. Didn't I come back? I saw that it was getting late, so I went to Huaishan. Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, just the two of us, how do you see it? Anyway, it will be lively. Li Tianchou proposed with a smile.
"Let's drink and celebrate, look!" Sandou burst into tears and laughed, took out a big bag of things from his arms, and put it on the table, hey, it was quite rich, a bag of peanuts, a bag of spiced beans, a pig's head and a mixed salad. Then, as if juggling, he took out a bottle of liquor from his trouser pocket, grinned, and was very proud.
"Okay! Tonight, for the New Year, our brothers and sons will have a good drink. I proposed, after drinking, how about we go on a night tour of SZ. Li Tianchou's mood also brightened.
"Whatever you say, that's what you say. After Sandou finished speaking, he began to look for a cup in a hurry.
Although there were only two people drinking, it was also lively to push the glass and change the lamp, talking about happy things. After a while, most of the bottle of wine was gone. At this time, the faces of the two of them were a little red, and Sandou's conversation box was also opened, talking about him sending money to the family every month, there was a sense of pride in his heart, now he was the most promising of the brothers and sisters in the family, Sandou was determined to mix up in the city, and when the time came, he would take his parents in the ravine and enjoy the blessings. Sandou, who usually doesn't like to talk much, seems to finish what he hasn't said for a year at this time.
In addition to drinking, Li Tianchou has been smiling as a listener, and he has felt the change of Sandou, who used to be submissive, has now become very thoughtful and mature. While he was gratified, he also lamented that the environment has changed people, and there are not many people who can have the courage to jump out of the mountains to break into the world, but there will definitely be more and more in the future.
At the instigation of Li Tianchou, Sandou performed a hometown song, which was often sung by Sandou herding sheep: "On the gate of Sister Ga, I waved three waves, and my heart was beating in a ......panic" The song was rough, and it could spread far through the mountains on the hillside, but in the dormitory, Li Tianchou's ears were choked enough, but Sandou was excited and had no scruples, leading to singing.
"Who is this? What are you doing? If you shout again, you will be arrested!" With a loud shout, the door was kicked open, Sandou was so frightened that his face turned pale, and the wine glass he had just picked up fell to the ground. Li Tianchou was also stunned and raised his eyes.
"Hahaha, look at the three beans scared. "Tianchou, you're back, my brother saw that the dormitory lights were on, and I thought about it and came up to take a look." "Are you alright, Tianchou?" Three or four people rushed in at the door, all colleagues. Liang Hui, Xiaowen, and Wei Dong and Xu Jin from the front post.
"The Chinese New Year scares people to lose money. Come on, come and sit, and have a few drinks together. Li Tianchou greeted warmly.
Everyone giggled, each looking for a seat, Liang Hui patted Sandou's shoulder and asked with a smile: "Sandou, are you okay?" People are scary, they will be scared to death. ”
"Hahaha. Sandou's words drew laughter again.
"Tianchou, why did you come back for the New Year, are you okay?" Liang Hui rubbed his ears with his hands, very concerned.
"It's okay, I'm helping to correct the murderer, and I'm delayed a little bit by other things. Isn't this a rush back for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?" Li Tianqian smiled and scattered cigarettes for everyone.
"Well, I said, it's not enough wine. Wait, I've got it there, we'll have a drink tonight." Wei Dong said and got up and ran out of the dormitory.
"It's not like there's wine or food, I'm in charge of ordering the food on the hour. Liang Hui also got up and went out.
"Have you all had Chinese New Year's Eve?" asked Li Tianqing.
"Where, after the shift change, I made do with something to eat, and then I went to the Internet café to play for a while, and it wasn't interesting, so I thought about going back to the dormitory to get some wine. No, as soon as I arrived at the corridor, I heard Sandou's dry howl, that miserable! Xu Jin laughed. Sandou's face turned even redder.
"By the way, what's going on with Andy?" Li Tianchou suddenly asked.
"The family hasn't gone back yet, so they should still be making trouble. It's difficult on both sides, but it's a pity Andy. Hey, what kind of world. Xu Jin and Xiaowen immediately looked gloomy.
Li Tianchou realized that it was not the occasion to ask, and hurriedly said: "Forget it, Sensei said this." Today's New Year, everyone is so happy. ”
As they spoke, Liang Hui and Wei Dong ran back and brought three bottles of wine and a few cold dishes. So, everyone sat around and poured the wine again.
"Everybody's a cup, it's all full. Don't cheat, don't drop the chain. Tianchou, you can say two words, New Year's blessings or something. Liang Hui raised his wine glass as he spoke, and everyone raised their wine glasses as well.
"This makes me say, a little reluctantly. Well, we're not hypocritical people, just say it. Today is the 30th anniversary of the Chinese New Year's Eve, our traditional festival. Sandou and I are the first time to spend the New Year with you, and we are very happy, I am really happy! I wish you all a happy New Year! Peace and beauty! Happy New Year! Haha, and finally there is another sentence, long live us workers!" Li Tianchou was also very happy, and blurted out festive words.
"Happy New Year! Long live part-time work!" everyone raised their wine glasses in unison, and it was very lively.
There are many people who can make a fuss, and in a few clicks, they poured down Sandou and Xiaowen, who had a poor amount of alcohol. In the second half of the night, all the wine bottles bottomed out, and the few who did not fall down were still in good spirits.
"I said, what are we going to do next?" Wei Dong shook the empty wine bottle, a little unwilling.
"According to the habits of my hometown, keep the New Year. Liang Hui puffed on smoke rings.
"It's boring to just sit and brag and fart. Xu Jin shook his head.
"When you didn't come, I told Sandou that I would go on a night tour of SZ City after drinking. I didn't think that this kid fell first. "Li Tianchou is a pity.
"Well, you say, that's a good idea. Liang Hui immediately came to his senses.
"It's a big night, what are you swimming, you can't see anything. ”
"It's just walking on the street, I've been coming to SZ for half a year, and I've never carefully seen the night view of SZ City, catching up with Chinese New Year's Eve, it should be very good." Li Tianchou was quite yearning.
"I'm swooping, this stroll is physical work, and tomorrow's shift will be miserable, don't go, don't go. Xu Jin shook his head.
"I think so, anyway, it's a New Year's holiday, if you want to watch TV and sleep, go back to the house, and if you are willing to wander, let's go now. Liang Hui suggested.
Everyone had no opinion, except for Xu Jin going back to the dormitory to watch TV, the three people who could stand went downstairs together and went out to visit SZ City at night.
