Chinese New Year's Eve, six p.m.

It was already dark outside, and Cao Xiuyan stood by the window, looking at the bright fireworks outside the window.

Through a layer of glass, Cao Xiuyan still felt a chill.

Outside the window is the lights of thousands of homes, and inside the window is the fireworks of the world.

The aroma of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was already lingering on the tip of Cao Xiuyan's nose.

The phone kept ringing, full of New Year's greetings.

Cao Xiuyan picked a few important message replies, and then sent another one to Chi Qian:

"Have you eaten Chinese New Year's Eve?"

Chi Qian replied after a while, it was a photo.

In the photo, she occupies a corner, squinting and smiling at the scissor hands, and behind her is a prepared Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Today's Chi Qian seems to be wearing a red sweater, matching her lip color, which is quite a fiery New Year's meaning.

Cao Xiuyan stared at Chi Qian's photo for a few seconds, and then saw the message Chi Qian sent him:

"Have you eaten? I'm going to eat soon. ”

Cao Xiuyan replied: "Not yet, just wait a minute." What are you going to do for the night?"

Chi Qian replied in seconds: "Maybe you can play cards with your parents and watch TV." Although the Spring Festival Gala is getting uglier and uglier every year, I still want to accompany them...... You know. ”

Cao Xiuyan said: "Hmm. Let's keep vigil together at night. Cross zero together. ”

Chi Qian replied, "Okay." I'll see you later. I'm going to eat first. ”

"Well, I'll see you later. ”

Cao Xiuyan put away his phone, turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Li Shujun is cutting sausages, which are the last cold dish.

Lao Cao took out the fish in the pot and said to Li Shujun: "This is my son's sausage? ”

Li Shujun smiled and looked very happy: "Well, Xiuyan is becoming more and more capable now...... Xiu Yan, help with the dishes and chopsticks. ”

Cao Xiuyan smiled but did not speak.

Although he knew what Lao Cao was talking about, the words enema and intestine were connected together, which always made him think of something bad.

From daisies to sunflowers, how much castor oil or petroleum jelly has been experienced.

Cao Xiuyan took the dishes, chopsticks and wine glasses, and set them up.

Everything is ready to go.

It's the New Year.

Lao Cao and Li Shujun also brought the last dishes to the table, Li Shujun turned around and went into the kitchen to boil the water, and after a while, the dumplings were served.

The family sat down, began to move chopsticks, and ate Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

With the abundance of material life and the acceleration of the pace of life, many people feel that the taste of the New Year is light. But Cao Xiuyan feels that it is not that the taste of the New Year has faded, but that we have changed during the New Year.

A lot of rituals are gradually lost in the busy life.

Fortunately, Cao Xiuyan's family still maintains some habits and rituals.

Cao Xiuyan was eating with his parents and discussing his parents' shortcomings.

Sometimes it's Cao Xiuyan who talks to his parents about the people in the school, and sometimes it's Cao Xiuyan's parents who talk to him about the things at home.

Light.

Cao Xiuyan enjoyed it very much.

Halfway through eating, Li Shujun cooked the dumplings and served them.

Cao Xiuyan's hometown has a habit of putting a coin in the dumplings on Chinese New Year's Eve, symbolizing the wealth of the coming year.

In previous years, Cao Xiuyan's mother Li Shujun ate it, perhaps because she held the financial power of the family.

But this year's accident was eaten by Cao Xiuyan.

Comrade Cao smiled and said that his son had eaten, that is, our family had money.

Cao Xiuyan smiled, but he didn't take it seriously.

This thing is just a little bit of color for the New Year, and I'm used to it.

After eating, Cao Xiuyan washed the dishes and cleaned up the kitchen, Li Shujun put the fruit roasted goods on the table, and made another pot of Pu'er.

Pu'er scraping oil, suitable for the New Year.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Cao Xiuyan walked to the living room, drank a cup of tea, knocked melon seeds for a while, and took out his mobile phone to chat with Chi Qian.

As for Luo Jie......

Recently, he didn't pay much attention to Cao Xiuyan, saying that he wanted to hide for a while.

Translated, if you don't handle those things, don't bother me.

Cao Xiuyan didn't put much thought into it, just greeted her at a fixed frequency every day, chatting about daily life with or without a match.

Day is not a verb.

But Cao Xiuyan knew in his heart that after a few days, he planned to translate for Luo Jie in person.

Surprise.

Lao Cao turned on the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala, Li Shujun slowly made tea and ate melon seeds, and Cao Xiuyan shrank in the corner of the sofa to play with his mobile phone.

The Spring Festival Gala has begun, and Cao Xiuyan has no desire to see it.

looked at it without a glance, mainly because he wanted to have a topic to talk about with Chi Qian.

"This year's sketch is really not good. ”

"Hu Ge is so handsome. ”

"These two talk about cross talk, who are they, they don't look good at all, I still like Guo Degang. ”

Chatting with Chi Qian like this, Cao Xiuyan smiled happily.

Li Shujun on the side looked at Cao Xiuyan with a bright face, and wondered in her heart:

This emoji ...... Is the son in love?

You also say you're not in a relationship!

Li Shujun said tentatively: "Son, who are you chatting with so happily? Is it a girlfriend?"

Cao Xiuyan immediately denied Sanlian: "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense." ”

Li Shujun immediately poked at him: "Look at your expression, you smile so brightly, I only saw it when your father chased me back then, and you still said that you didn't fall in love?"

Why does this sound so familiar......

I'll just ...... Born with divine powers?

Cao Xiuyan shook his mobile phone and said, "Mom, don't you know that in addition to women, what can make men show this expression is money?

Li Shujun said: "Then I will reluctantly believe you once." ”

What is the ......

I can't pick up ......

After all, Cao Xiuyan's parents were old, and they yawned at eleven o'clock and said that they went to bed.

Cao Xiuyan also washed up, and went back to his bedroom to prepare to lie on the bed and stay up with Chi Qian.

Chi Qian said that she was also lying on the bed, which made Cao Xiuyan a little ......

Have one's head in the clouds.

Thinking of this word, Cao Xiuyan remembered that he had a friend named Feifei in the past, and he teased her with this idiom every time, and later became a prophecy-

Really in.

"Are you alright? I'm already lying down. Cao Xiuyan asked Chi Qian.

Chi Qian replied: "Well, so am I." And also...... Three minutes at midnight. ”

Cao Xiuyan said: "Today is a special day for everyone, but for the two of us, it may be more unforgettable. ”

Chi Qian said, "Why?"

Cao Xiuyan smiled and looked at Chi Qian's avatar on the screen, it was herself.

"Because this year is our first Chinese New Year's Eve together, the first time always has a special commemorative significance. Moreover, we may have many more Chinese New Year's Eves together. ”

Chi Qian looked at Cao Xiuyan's words on the screen, and was very happy in her heart.

This...... Is it your choice?

Recently, she has always had this thought, and every word Cao Xiuyan said, she thought it was a hint from Cao Xiuyan.

Maybe it's because Cao Xiuyan never responds positively, but always hints, so now that Cao Xiuyan says something, Chi Qian is easy-

Thinking too much.

In fact, Chi Qian herself knows that this can be regarded as a psychological suggestion of herself. The more I hope for something, the more I regard the trivialities of life as a symbol of the development of events.

Just like today at noon, when she sees a magpie skimming in front of the window, she will also think that this is a symbol.

Magpie, symbol of love, isn't this good luck coming soon?

What Chi Qian didn't know was that she had already suffered from gains and losses in this matter......

The more you cherish something, the more you want everything in life to be a hint.

She stared at her phone's dialog box and watched the number at the top jump to 23:59.

And Cao Xiuyan, who was on the other end of the phone, was also staring at his phone, watching the time on his phone jump to 23:59.

He sent a message: "It's coming soon, are you ready?"

Chi Qian said, "Well, I'm ready." ”

Cao Xiuyan said again: "Well, it's coming." ”

Chi Qian said: "What's the matter with the sudden nervousness......

Cao Xiuyan said: "Don't panic, it's right away." ”

At 23:59, the number jumps to 00:00.

Outside the window, countless firecrackers rang out, and countless fireworks flew into the sky in unison, lighting up the entire sky.

Cao Xiuyan dialed Chi Qian's phone, and the phone rang and answered.

"Sissi, Happy New Year. ”

"Happy New Year. ”
