Chapter 115: Take Me by the Hand to a Brightly Lit Place
"My name is Tang Muran, Tang from Chinatown. ”
These are the words they said when they first met.
The little girl who grinned when she laughed was a tiger tooth, the little girl who grinned and was informal, the little girl who said that she wanted to support herself, the little girl who could beat the other party when she made a move...... The little girl she can't forget.
There are many people with the surname Tang in this world, and Jiang Ning never felt that this surname was anything special until he met her.
The hand rested on the warm palm and never took it away, and the hand put the change back in his pocket and took her by the way.
Interlocking his fingers, he tucked her palms into his jacket pocket.
Boom...... Boom......
Fireworks rushed up on their sides, and the silver fire trees instantly illuminated the world, and the faces of the people in front of them became clearer.
It's really him.
“…… Uncle?" Tang Muran was surprised for a long time before opening his mouth. "Are you really an uncle?"
"Silly girl. Jiang Ning reached out and stroked her hair and smiled. "Who else could it be?"
Tang Muran was still standing there stupidly, and when she confirmed that the person in front of her was not an illusion, she plunged into his chest.
"Uncle!"
Her hand was in his jacket pocket, feeling the residual warmth of his body temperature, very warm and steady.
She never imagined that she and he would meet again in such a place.
This is probably the happiest year she's had in years, and it's also the most surprising year.
This time, Jiang Ning didn't push her away.
He took her in his arms and used his body to block all the cold wind for her, for a long, long time.
If someone had taken a picture of this moment, they would probably have given the image a name, 'The Uncle and the Little Girl Selling Sugar Gourds'.
After a long time, Tang Muran was willing to let go of his hand and lifted the head buried in his chest.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
"When I came to the United States for a trip and saw you, I wanted to surprise you......" Jiang Ning lied again, but he knew that Tang Muran's current mood would definitely not have the time to distinguish the truth from the falsehood of his words.
She was so happy to see that she was so happy that she was willing to believe even if she was telling a lie.
"And your sugar gourd?"
"Didn't you say before that if you have the chance, you must buy such a handful and carry it to try?" Jiang Ning said with a smile.
Tang Muran was stunned for a moment, did she say this before? She didn't remember, in fact, she said a lot of things that even she would forget, but Jiang Ning remembered.
Whether she said this or not, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the uncle really carried a whole handful of sugar gourds and appeared in front of him on the New Year.
"But if you want to eat all of them, your teeth should be sweet. Jiang Ning turned his head and glanced at the huge sugar gourd handle in his hand, and pulled Tang Muran towards the crowd.
"Send sugar gourd...... Send sugar gourds ......"
He held Tang Muran's hand tightly and shouted all the way, those who came up to ask for it were usually children, and Jiang Ning was not stingy, as long as he came up to ask for it, he really gave it away.
"Uncle, why do you want to send it?" Tang Muran was a little puzzled.
"Do you see them, these people coming and going, they are all our compatriots, they all come from the same hometown as us. Jiang Ning said. "I want to share the joy of the New Year with each of them, and if I hold you, what will everyone think of our relationship?"
"Hmm...... Couples?"
"Hmm. Jiang Ning nodded. "Every time I give out a string of sugar gourds, people may not say how grateful they are, but when they see us holding hands, they will definitely wish us a long time in my heart...... So many blessings for us, do you want it or not?"
"Absolutely. Tang Mulan said.
That's right, the blessings that come out are polite words, and only sincere blessings in the heart are useful. Jiang Ning smiled. "So many people sincerely bless us, it's a happy thing for us, isn't it?"
"Uncle. Tang Muran stared at him. "How do I think you've changed. ”
"Huh?" Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment. "How has it changed. ”
"I remember when you used to, you weren't so good at coaxing girls. Tang Mulan said.
"Hmm......" Jiang Ning didn't know how to pick her up for a while.
Yes, when I met Tang Mulan before, I always gave her the impression of a boring but interesting uncle, but he never said anything nice. After he entered the grand ceremony, he used the identity of Jiang Qu, he had to communicate with people, say nice things, and treat everyone with a kind face and attitude...... This kind of behavior subtly affected him, causing him to use the way of Jiangqu when he used his true self to get along with Tang Muran.
"I like it, though, hahaha. Tang Muran smiled. "However, don't coax other girls. ”
This is the Tang Mulan he is familiar with.
Jiang Ning's mind suddenly appeared that on the day of the friendship party, she appeared in a dress like a black rose, noble and gorgeous, mature and intellectual, but it was untouchable.
Every word and deed, every smile and smile seems to be saying two words.
Mortal.
Now the one who is holding his hand behind him is the one he knows, the familiar, and childish Tang Muran.
They walked through the crowded crowd all the way, and from beginning to end, Jiang Ning's hand never let go.
In the center of the most lively Chinatown, a group of people set up a stage, lion dance, Sichuan opera, and all kinds of national style performances kicked off. Jiang Ning pulled Tang Mulan to stand at the front, and he could clearly see every performer.
New Year's flavor, this is the New Year's flavor.
There is the hustle and bustle in your ears, your lover in front of you, you can see the endless flaming red lanterns when you look up, and the familiar aroma of food wafting in the distance...... Braised pork, boiled fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, this is the taste of home.
"Uncle. Tang Mulan clenched Jiang Ning's hand.
"Huh?"
Tang Muran's mouth opened, the crowd was too noisy, and Jiang Ning didn't hear what she said.
"What did you say?"
"I said, it's good to have you-"
"Uncle, do you know, in fact, I am quite lonely during the Chinese New Year every year, even if I am with my father, but I have to meet a group of people I don't know, or some people who I know and don't want to contact...... Only this year, this year is with you. ”
"How long are you going to stay in the United States? Can you accompany me for the New Year, Chinese New Year's Eve, Chinese New Year's Eve night...... I'd love to talk to you. ”
"When I was a child, I always thought that my father was the most powerful person, he could light up all the dark places in my heart, but there were still some corners that he couldn't get into. Tang Muran looked at Jiang Ning sideways, and under the illumination of the light, his face was clearly angled. "I've always wanted someone who can really come close to my heart, take my hand, take me out of that dark corner, take me to a place where the lights are bright. ”
