Mrs. Xue was in a bad mood and didn't cook dinner at night, so she went back to her room and lay down after sitting for a while.

Xue Li'an and Xue Rong hurriedly made a meal, and Xue Rong went to call Mrs. Xue to get up and eat, but it was unsuccessful.

The father and son stared coldly at the dining table on the table.

Xue Li'an sighed, "Let's eat, let's eat first, when will your mother get up, I'll help her get it." ”

Xue Rong couldn't eat it, but he still ate some in front of Xue Li'an.

Soon it was completely dark, and there were all kinds of lively programs on the TV, and the sound of fireworks in the distance.

Xue Li'an and Xue Rong sat on the sofa, all kinds of not.

Xue Rong sighed secretly, "I'll go to the balcony to watch the fireworks." ”

The city has long been banned, and Xue Rong can't figure out where the fireworks are placed, anyway, it's far away, like being on the edge of the sky, but he can still hear the sound and see the splendor.

The mobile phone buzzed non-stop, and at this time of the year in the past, he was chatting with his friends, mainly Jiang Mingzhu and Chen Fang.

This year, because of the change of identity, it is natural to send him more blessings.

Some wish him good health, and some wish him a prosperous business.

Xue Rong didn't bother to look at it anymore after reading a few of them, he clicked into the circle of friends, and many people posted photos of the reunion dinner and family reunion.

Chen Fang traveled abroad with his parents, and he didn't forget to join in the fun, and posted a headshot of himself in the circle of friends, saying auspicious words that he was not familiar with.

Xue Rong glanced at it and commented: It's stupid.

After a while, Chen Fang chatted with him privately.

"You're a stupid dog!"

After Xue Rong and Chen Fang exchanged scolding each other, they asked Chen Fang about his recent situation.

Chen Fang hasn't cheered up since he broke up with that guy named Kaka, and in Xue Rong's eyes, it's simply unproductive to the extreme.

Chen Fang took his parents out on a trip this time to relax, and Chen Fang has been pouring some disgusting sour soup in the circle of friends recently.

Whoever is free, the heart is free.

Body and soul, there is always one on the way.

Chen Fang has planned this trip for a long time, and the time to return to China is set for a month later.

This is nothing, like Xue Rong and them, they used to go out to play for a long time.

But now Xue Rong only has envy and jealousy, because he is already a person who has less than ten days of annual leave for the New Year.

And because he only joined the company this year, he is still a person who does not enjoy annual leave, and his vacation ...... Only three days!

Xue Rong disliked Chen Fang's travel plan in various ways because of jealousy.

Chen Fang knew that he was jealous, and he didn't care about him.

"Anyway, I like to eat, drink and have fun, so you should work hard and strive to reach the peak of life. ”

Xue Rong was so angry that he wanted to drop his mobile phone, he worked hard, he didn't want to go to the pinnacle of life.

But he couldn't be discouraged in front of Chen Fang.

"To be a man is to have a man's responsibility. ”

Chen Fang didn't come back for a long time, and Xue Rong estimated that he was busy sending blessings to others, so he didn't pay attention to it.

He lay on the balcony and watched the fireworks for another half an hour, and Chen Fang returned to his message.

"Isn't it because your brother has entered the Jiang family, so your youngest son has to shoulder the burden of the family?"

Xue Rong looked at Chen Fang's information and scolded that the dog couldn't spit out ivory in his mouth.

"You're not afraid that my brother will kill you. ”

Chen Fang immediately sent him a screenshot.

It was Jiang Mingzhu who posted a circle of friends, a family photo, Xue Kong took a cursory look, and there were three more people at once.

Jiang Mingzhu's copywriting reads: Family, lovers, friends, life is enough.

It's sour enough, too.

At the bottom, Xue Rong and Chen Fang both knew someone and asked why Xue Xingzhi was also there, whether he was already married.

Jiang Mingzhu replied: Xue Xingzhi is in trouble.

Xue Rong frowned, exited the chat interface, and went to the circle of friends to flip through it, but he didn't see the circle of friends posted by Jiang Mingzhu at all.

He clicked on Jiang Mingzhu's avatar again and went in directly to take a look, he could still see the ones Jiang Mingzhu had posted before, but only this one didn't.

Xue Rong had to wonder if this screenshot was deliberately P by Chen Fang.

"You send me the original picture of this picture. ”

Chen Fang sent him a question mark.

followed by another one, "You can't be blocked, right?"

Countless haha in the back.

ridicule is ridicule, Chen Fang still forwarded the photo to Xue Rong.

In the photo, in the front row are Jiang Huai, Mrs. Jiang and Meng Xiaochuan's mother.

Meng Xiaochuan sat in a wheelchair on the very edge, and in the back row were the three brothers and sisters of the Jiang family and Xue Xingzhi.

I don't know who took the photo, but it was taken well, everyone was smiling at the camera, and Shen Yun caught it.

Chen Fang naturally knew that what Jiang Mingzhu said was a joke, he was just teasing Xue Rong.

"Mingzhu and your eldest brother's marriage is decided?"

If only before he saw this photo, Xue Rong could still say nothing.

But when he saw the photo, he couldn't say no.

Because he doesn't know.

Xue Xingzhi didn't tell him that he would go to Jiang's house in the evening.

It's not a big deal, but what day is it?

Xue Rong suddenly suspected that Xue Xingzhi had also been in the Jiang family a few days ago.

Jiang Mingzhu's circle of friends blocked him, indicating that he didn't want him to see it.

Xue Rong had mixed feelings in his heart, and replied to Chen, "I'll tell you when it's decided, let's do this first, and we'll talk when I'm free." ”

He really wasn't in the mood to talk to Chen Fang anymore.

Xue Rong stood on the balcony and looked at his mobile phone in a daze, I don't know who suddenly set off fireworks in the community, and the huge sound startled Xue Rong.

Because of the sudden sound of fireworks, all the people in the community were blown up, some people stood on the balcony to watch, some people went downstairs directly, and Xue Rong could even hear the children's laughter.

The fireworks were only halfway down when the property was dispatched, but no one dared to step forward to move the fireworks that were burning.

After a while, the urban management bureau also came, and the adults and children scattered in a swarm.

The people who set off the fireworks had already run away, and the property management led the chengguan around the community without finding anyone.

During the Chinese New Year, I didn't take it too seriously, and I couldn't find anyone and dispersed.

Xue Rong waited below to quiet down and called Xue Xingzhi.

The phone was quickly picked up, but Xue Xingzhi was very hyped, and in the background of the fireworks, Xue Rong could still vaguely hear the laughter of Jiang Mingzhu and her family.

Xue Xingzhi: "What's wrong?"

Xue Rong opened his mouth, "Brother, are you there in Mingzhu?"

Xue Xingzhi snorted.

Xue Xingzhi deserved to be so happy, but Xue Rong didn't know what to say.

"That'...... Will you come back tomorrow?"

Xue Xingzhi still said, "Something?"

It's fine, but they're family.

"It's nothing, I'll just ask, you're gone, Mom didn't eat dinner. ”

Xue Xingzhi was silent for a moment, "You persuade him, in the future, it's hard work." ”

Xue Rong wanted to say righteously that as long as their family was together, nothing would be hard.

But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them again.

"Well, brother, Happy New Year. ”

Xue Xingzhi also said Happy New Year.

After Xue Rong hung up the phone, the sound of fireworks in the community sounded again, I don't know if it was the one who set off the fireworks earlier who gave everyone inspiration, or if it was the same person at all.

A burst of cheers from the children.

Upstairs, I don't know who opened the window, and shouted downstairs, "Dude, awesome." ”

The property came faster this time, but still didn't catch anyone.

There were several times back and forth in one night, and in the end, the property and the city management simply didn't leave, and just squatted downstairs.

The fireworks never went off again, the children were taken home by the adults, and the neighborhood was quiet again.

After Xue Rong watched this farce, his heart became more and more empty.

Xue Li'an called him out in the house, "Xue Rong, it's cold on the balcony, don't stay all the time, I washed the fruit and came to eat." ”

Xue Rong put away his phone, answered with a smile, and entered the house.

......

Xue Xingzhi answered the phone and stood there for a while.

Jiang Mingzhu pinched a burning firework stick and walked towards him, "Which little girl are you talking to on the phone?"

Xue Xingzhi smiled, "Xue Rong." ”

Jiang Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then remembered something, and exclaimed, "Oops." ”

Xue Xingzhi: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Mingzhu said: "I forgot to block Chen Fang when I posted on Moments, Xue Rong must have known, and I deleted it now." ”

Xue Rong took the fireworks stick in her hand that was about to burn to her fingers and threw it to the ground, "No, you can see it when you see it, sooner or later you will know." "Let's read the book

Jiang Mingzhu was still a little worried, "But ......"

Xue Xingzhi hugged the person into his arms, "It's okay." ”

Jiang Mingzhu's sorry has come to his lips, but he still hasn't said it in the end.

After dinner, they drove out in a car to the square that had been set aside for fireworks.

Meng Xiaochuan didn't want to come out, but Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Huai were still fighting the landlord at the old lady's house, and they didn't have anything to do with him, so they were pulled out together.

Jiang Mingrui bought a lot of things, all kinds of fireworks, there was a big fireworks the size of a small table, and the others were small, rushing to the sky in his hand, throwing them on the ground, and the kind of fireworks stick that Jiang Mingzhu had just taken.

Jiang Mingzhu suspected that if he couldn't fit in the car, he would be able to pull more out.

Because they brought a lot, many children surrounded them, chattering and asking all kinds of questions, with envious expressions on their faces.

Jiang Mingyan was generous and gave a lot to those children, Jiang Mingrui was afraid that if she continued like this, she would have to finish it in a while, so he shouted towards Jiang Mingzhu and Xue Xingzhi.

"Mingzhu, do you want it anymore, it will be gone in a while. ”

Jiang Mingzhu replied to him: "Yes, leave me some." ”

He pulled Xue Xingzhi over, "Let's go play with fireworks." ”

As soon as the two passed, Meng Xiaochuan shouted Jiang Mingzhu.

"Pearl. ”

Jiang Mingzhu: "What's the matter, Brother Xiaochuan." ”

While Jiang Mingzhu was looking at him, Xue Xingzhi also looked at him.

Meng Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Can you help me take a photo? Alone, the kind that is only me." ”

Jiang Mingzhu hurriedly agreed, "Okay." ”

However, there are a lot of people in the square, and it is not easy for them to find a place where there are no others.

Xue Xingzhi pointed to the fitness area, "Go there, there are few people over there." ”

Jiang Mingzhu looked at it and said, "The lights over there are so dim, you can't shoot it." ”

Meng Xiaochuan said, "It's okay, I'll take two fireworks sticks as lights." ”

Jiang Mingzhu nodded, this is a good idea.

Jiang Mingzhu and Xue Xingzhi pushed Meng Xiaochuan to the fitness area, Xue Xingzhi helped him light the fireworks stick, Meng Xiaochuan held it in his hand, and Jiang Mingzhu took out his mobile phone camera and pointed it at him.

Jiang Mingzhu looked at Meng Xiaochuan in the camera, feeling that he was looking at the camera, and it seemed that he was looking at her.

Jiang Mingzhu took several photos of him, and she had an idea, "Brother Xiaochuan, don't you want to record a video anymore." ”

Meng Xiaochuan looked at the fireworks stick in his hand that was about to burn out, "It's almost gone." ”

Xue Xingzhi ordered another one for him, "It's okay, there's still one here." ”

Jiang Mingzhu hit the video function, and in the video, Meng Xiaochuan smiled at the camera, and then looked down at the fireworks stick in his hand, and the fireworks stick made a small crackling sound.

Jiang Mingzhu saw that he didn't speak, "Brother Xiaochuan, this is the video, say something." ”

Meng Xiaochuan tilted his head sideways, as if thinking for a moment, "What should I say?"

Jiang Mingzhu reminded him off-camera, "Today's New Year, why don't you say some blessings." ”

Meng Xiaochuan nodded, "Then I wish my mother a long and healthy life first, and then ...... I wish Jiang Mingzhu happiness again. ”

Jiang Mingzhu was still waiting for him to say himself, but Meng Xiaochuan had already finished speaking.

"Alright, so be it. ”

Jiang Mingzhu clicked on the end and saved the video.

"Brother Xiaochuan, you haven't sent yourself a blessing yet. ”

Meng Xiaochuan said, "Blessings are naturally sincere when they are sent by others." ”

Is that so?

Jiang Mingzhu thought for a while, "Then I wish Brother Xiaochuan health and happiness." ”

Meng Xiaochuan smiled and said thank you.

After he finished speaking, he asked Xue Xingzhi again, "Does Mr. Xue mind if I take a photo with Mingzhu?"

Xue Xingzhi took the mobile phone in Jiang Mingzhu's hand, "Don't mind, I'll shoot it for you." ”

They use fireworks as lights.

In order to cooperate with Meng Xiaochuan, Jiang Mingzhu squatted with a fireworks stick in his hand.

Xue Xingzhi took two photos, one was Jiang Mingzhu squatting, looking at the fireworks in his hand, and Meng Xiaochuan was looking at Jiang Mingzhu. The other is the two of them looking at the camera together.

Xue Xingzhi returned the phone to Jiang Mingzhu, and after she looked at the first photo, she glanced at Xue Xingzhi strangely.

She was about to delete it, but Meng Xiaochuan had already stretched out his hand to her, "Show me too." ”

Jiang Mingzhu had no choice but to hand the phone to Meng Xiaochuan.

Meng Xiaochuan seems to be very satisfied with the photos and videos.

"It's a good shot, you can send it to me. ”

Jiang Mingzhu had no choice but to send all the photos and videos to Meng Xiaochuan.

The three of them returned to Jiang Mingrui, Jiang Mingyan had already distributed all the fireworks, and the time for them to come out was not short.

Jiang Mingrui said, "Let's go, go back." ”

When a few people arrived home, Mrs. Jiang and they were still fighting the landlord, Jiang Mingzhu and Xue Xingzhi went to wash their hands like conjoined babies, and when they came back, they sat next to Mrs. Jiang hand in hand.

"Mom, who won?"

Mrs. Jiang smiled and said, "I lost with your father." ”

Jiang Mingzhu said, "Then you have to invite your aunt to dinner." ”

Mrs. Jiang promised again and again, "Okay, I'll treat you." ”

Seeing that they were all back, Mrs. Jiang also broke up after the round in her hand.

While everyone hadn't slept yet, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Huai took out red envelopes and gave them red envelopes.

This is the tradition of the Jiang family, and the three brothers and sisters of the Jiang family said a bunch of blessings to the two of them, and happily accepted the red envelope.

Mrs. Jiang gave another one to Xue Xingzhi, but Xue Xingzhi didn't twist it, and after taking the red envelope, "Thank you, Aunt Jiang." ”

As soon as he took the red envelope in his hand, Jiang Mingzhu came over.

"Let me see how much my mom has wrapped for you, no more than me. ”

Jiang Mingrui and Jiang Mingyan showed a tacit smile, and Xue Xingzhi said with a red envelope.

"Really just looking?"

Jiang Mingzhu said, "Look at you, why don't you trust others, of course I just took a look." ”

Xue Xingzhi handed her the red envelope, Jiang Mingzhu took the red envelope in his hand, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

"Of course it's impossible to just look at it, the red envelope is very thick, but unfortunately, it's mine now. ”

Mrs. Jiang also sealed one for Meng Xiaochuan and one for the old lady, all of which were very thick.

Meng Xiaochuan said words of thanks and naturally accepted them.

The old lady waved her hand in panic, "This can't be taken." ”

Mrs. Jiang said, "This is Tujili's, and it must be collected." ”

Jiang Mingzhu said, "That's right, it's going to be collected." ”

The old lady looked at Meng Xiaochuan at a loss, and the latter smiled at her and said, "Mom, you can take it." ”

The old lady accepted the red envelope.

Jiang Mingzhu had a clear conscience and took the red envelope of Xue Xingzhi, who was originally a poor egg, for himself.

I also took a photo and posted it to Moments.

This time she didn't block Xue Rong, Xue Rong already knew, and she blocked him again, a bit like there was no silver here.

After Jiang Mingzhu finished posting the circle of friends, he looked around again, and after refreshing it, he saw that Meng Xiaochuan also updated a circle of friends.

Meng Xiaochuan almost never posts on Moments, what he sends is not a red envelope, but a photo of him and Jiang Mingzhu, the one he looks at Jiang Mingzhu.

The copy is very simple, just a sentence of Happy New Year.

Jiang Mingzhu looked at it and frowned.

Xue Xingzhi came out of the shower and saw her holding her mobile phone in a daze, so he came over and asked.

"What are you looking at?"

Jiang Mingzhu took the phone to him and looked at it, "Why did you take this picture." ”

Xue Xingzhi glanced at Meng Xiaochuan's circle of friends and said, "It's okay, I'll send it if I send it." ”

He took Jiang Mingzhu's hand and kissed her lightly, "You are mine." ”

Jiang Mingzhu slapped him with a smile, "You are so uninteresting, just such a hard word." ”

Xue Xingzhi picked up the person and put him on the bed, stared at her and asked, "Then what else do you want to hear?"

Jiang Mingzhu said: "That's a lot to hear." ”

Xue Xingzhi propped his hands on his cheeks, "Do you want to keep the New Year tonight?"

Jiang Mingzhu shook his head, "There is no such rule. ”

Seeing that his body was about to be pressed down, Jiang Mingzhu covered his lips, "Don't mess around, this is in my house." ”

Xue Xingzhi smiled, couldn't move it, and changed places, "Really." ”

......

Mrs. Jiang gave everyone a lot of money in the red envelope, and the money in the old lady's share was more than her income in a year.

When she returned to the room, she opened the red envelope and looked at it, so frightened that her heart almost jumped out.

She didn't dare to delay for a moment and went to find Meng Xiaochuan.

"Chuan'er, this money is too much, should we pay it back. ”

Meng Xiaochuan said, "Mom, you have collected everything, it is not easy to pay it back, and besides, didn't Aunt Jiang say it, this is auspicious, and it will be unlucky to return it." ”

The old lady still didn't know how much money was in the card Jiang Mingrui gave him, and if she did, she probably had a heart attack.
