Part 18 Fireworks

There was a song in the living room about the flowers of Pu Shu, and I was cooking and humming the lyrics, so that I could try not to think about what Zhao Yilun said.

I sang all the songs out of tune, but the one I sang before was okay, but now I can't even remember the lyrics of this song, and the whole person is very absent-minded, until my dad came to the kitchen to remind me that I was relieved of my food.

I poured out the meal, and the burnt smell quickly filled the kitchen. I didn't know how I dropped two bowls when I was eating that day, and my dad sighed, "Eat well, I don't know what to think about every day." ”

"It's not a quarrel, is it?" my sister-in-law leaned over and asked, my dad could hear such a small voice, he wondered, "Who did you quarrel with?"

"No one ......."

"It's not you, is it?"

"Smack-" Another bowl........

I put down my chopsticks and went back to the room, and if I stayed any longer, I would probably have to listen to my dad talk to them about Zhao Yilun, and I would definitely not know what to say at that time, so it would be better to run away first.

Obviously, I had already forced myself not to think about anything too much.......... But this is useless at all, so it is better to make it clear now.

First of all, Zhao Yilun said that I should not like Lu Xiangnan, and he had never seen Lu Xiangnan, so he said that I liked him....... This kind of thing, since I was a child, I was confessed that even if I didn't like them, I would be reluctant for several days, so now my state is relatively normal? Also, I am not a stone, if someone confesses and does not react, it must be abnormal......... But Zhao Yilun is a ruffian and loves to joke every day, and it is not ruled out that he is making fun of me,,,, by the way, what am I calling him just now, I want to explain to him clearly that my dad misunderstood him as my boyfriend, and the more he explained, the more chaotic it became!

"Hey........ "He, he, he and I added WeChat, I can clearly hear my heartbeat at the moment of approval, how can it beat so fast!"

The hands of the clock pointed to half past nine, and Su Wei called out to me outside, "Sister-in-law, come quickly!"

I went out, pushed the door open, and a chill hit my face, and the three children in the yard were happily playing with fireworks sticks.

Xiaoliu came back, he picked up Su Wei and kissed me several times, looked at me with a happy face, and shouted at me: "Come out!"

I turned on all the lights in the yard, and when I got closer, I could see what Xiao Liu was holding in his hand. He took several boxes of two kicks, as well as some fireworks sticks, the kind that can be ignited by rubbing on the concrete floor, and of course there is no problem with a lighter.

He handed it to me, "I remember you taught me to play with this thing when I was a kid." ”

I took it, "Just remember." Tomorrow is only Chinese New Year's Eve, why is there such a big battle today?"

"Play, I don't care what day it is. After saying that, he set off a bunch of fireworks, and under the reflection of the firelight, Xiaoliu also took the opportunity to secretly take a photo of the two of us and send it to his girlfriend, which is really amazing.........

"Sister-in-law, how can you turn on the lights, I can't see the fireworks clearly, the lights are too bright, too bright!"

I ignored him and went straight inside to get out the kind of king-size salute my dad bought, and I stood in the middle of the yard, "Are you ready, I'm going to order it?"

"Wait until I'm hiding!" the neighbor's twins pleaded in unison, and before they could find a good place to light the fuse.

"Bang-"

Bunches of fireworks soar into the sky with the screams of children, and colorful bouquets bloom in the sky.

My dad poked his head out of the window and shouted, "You damn girl, I'll wait for tomorrow, tomorrow!"

Amid the roar of artillery fire, I pretended not to hear what he was saying, put my hands to my lips and shouted at him: "I-listen-no-see!"

"Save your ghost!"

He shrank his head into the room again to watch his anti-Japanese drama. I stuck my tongue out at Solvay, "Do you want to see something more exciting?"

"What else?"

Xiaoliu comforted the twins and turned his head to scold me, "Don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense, she was the most naughty when she was a child, and she took me to bombard people's reservoirs with artillery at my grandmother's house!"

It was a long time ago, it seems that when we were eleven years old, we wanted to fish for mussels in it, but the ice was too thick to be chiseled, so I thought about using artillery to blow up such a damaging attention, and I almost blew up the embankment, at that time Xiaoliu and I read the 4,000-word review book I wrote in front of the whole village...........

"That's when you cried. I teased Xiaoliu, and Su Wei coaxed beside me, "Really, uncle, you can cry too?"

"Fake," he denied the facts, and immediately changed the subject, "Weiwei, what did you say your grandfather's fireworks were called?"

"Royal Salute"

"Poof-" I couldn't help but laugh

I really served my dad, every time he bought something, he had to look at the name, when he was a child, he bought a grapefruit and said it was called Elizabeth fruit, and after eating half of it, the whole family was almost soured, and he bought a box of Alexander brand apples and found that it was astringent......... I have serious doubts about the quality of the Royal Salute he bought.

It was too cold outside, and the neighbors came to pick up their children, and I took Su Wei back to the house.

The next day, the long-awaited Chinese New Year's Eve arrived. The moment I got out of bed and pushed the door open, I felt like the whole world was red.

In the evening, in the midst of the snowflakes, the whole alley is filled with people, and people write their wishes under the oldest tree as a prayer for the new year, which is a custom peculiar to our town. The bag for wishing was made of bright red cloth, and my brother climbed the ladder and hung the family's wishes from the tree, and the moment he turned his head, a brilliant fireworks streaked across the distant sky, and his face loomed in the light.

Until this moment, I felt that the small town I lived in was another hint of New Year's flavor.

I heard that the big sister next door gave birth to another child, and the cry of the child was quite a kind of icing on the cake in this lively alley. I breathed in the air of the old year, the faint fragrance of plum filled my nose, it felt like I was temporarily out of the world, and when I opened my eyes, the trees in front of me were even more lively, and the whole alley boiled with the cheering crowd.

I called Zhao Yilun's phone, always trying to explain to him what happened yesterday, but the moment I connected, all the words that came to my mouth disappeared like waves at low tide.

"What you said yesterday....... It's a joke, isn't it?" I struggled to open my mouth

The sound of fireworks bursting filled the ten-minute silence between us. What I expected him to say, yes or no, I don't know myself.

I continued, "We've only known each other for two months, and we don't seem to have seen each other a few times, so I don't know if you were joking when you said it yesterday........"

"What do you want me to say?" he finally spoke

A red firework exploded above my head, and I watched the little golden heart of fire dissipate in the sky, and then said my truest thoughts, "I don't know." ”

"Are you really ......." The world around me is so lively, but his world is surprisingly quiet, what will he do now, and it will be night and he will look forward to the arrival of the new year as much as I do?

"I'm like this, it's not good........" I hesitate so much about anything, when I was a child, my mother asked me before leaving, if I want to leave with her, she waited for me for three days and I didn't give her a clear answer, the next thirteen years, I haven't seen her; in the second year of high school, Lu Xiangnan asked me if I wanted to participate in the competition to improve my grades and continue to be at the same table with him, I hesitated for more than ten days in front of the things I am not good at and the people I like, and finally missed the opportunity to participate; it seems that the passive choice brought by hesitation is wrong for me........

"I respect any choice you make, but don't forget that as soon as you turn around, you will see me behind you. ”

I took a deep breath, "Then I'll turn back." ”

I don't want to hesitate any longer, how could I not know the hard work and panic of waiting for someone.

I couldn't see his expression, his tone was cheerful, as if he had won the lottery, "I told you that I still have a lot of advantages that you didn't expect, and guess what other advantages I have?"

"Less narcissism. "The ribbon on the lucky bag flutters in the wind, and it may fall at any time, just like me at this time, I am happy and uneasy at the same time.

"Hey, Zhao Yilun, I always feel unsteady. ”

Suddenly, he hung up the phone, and after about five minutes he turned on the video, holding a marker pen on his chest and writing the word steadfast, and I could tell through the screen that he was smiling, "Is it solid now?"

"You've got a lot of tricks. ”

"These tricks are just for you. ”

“.........”

"Why is your face so red, isn't it a fever?"

“......... No, it's you, why don't you go out, it's about to be New Year's Eve. ”

He lay on the bed and looked at me with his chin propped up, "yes, it's New Year's Eve today." ”

"Are you stupid, today is Chinese New Year's Eve." I caught a glimpse of the upturned hairs on the back of his head and couldn't help but laugh

"Happy Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

I couldn't stop laughing, and before he could say that, the hands were pointing to zero.

"Happy New Year, Zhao Yilun. ”

"Happy New Year, I miss you. I covered my phone, "Can you ........ Don't tell me anything like that, I have to get used to it, I'm really uncomfortable with you like this........."

It's really uncomfortable, obviously we don't seem to have experienced anything.

I picked up my phone again, and he was already sitting up, "I really miss you." ”

He repeated it again, but I felt inexplicably distressed, when the whole world in my eyes was carnival, he was the only one who was lonely.
