As soon as the news of Du Pingping's return to Tibetan horse came out, the most irresistible thing was his former high school classmates. Du Pingke is more popular than in college, or has more fox friends and dog friends. As soon as Du Pingping arrived at the university, he was busy with his various things, and he was much more estranged from his real classmates. But in high school, he had a group of good friends who used to play well, such as Mizoda Tongbao , Zhou Zihang and others. As soon as everyone heard the news of Du Pingping's return, they immediately sent an invitation to the reunion, asking that they must attend this class reunion.

It just so happened that Du Ping didn't have anything important to do during this time, and he also wanted to meet his former classmates. Because instinctively, the feelings of that classmate seem to be a little simpler. So Du Pingping came to the Chinese Restaurant in the north of the school, the most popular meeting place in Du Pingping's high school days.

Du Pingping stood at the door of the building, and when he was about to enter, Zhou Zihang's urging call came again.

Zhou Zihang, "Fair! You're there, I'm waiting for you!"

Du Ping was about to answer, and Zhou Zihang's phone was inserted in four or five voices.

A, "Fair, we're all very concerned about your news!"

B, "Now that you are a college student at Imperial University, I would like to share with you what the college life of a real national first-class university is like!"

C, "Brother, be sure to play the game with everyone after the party!"

……

The voices were all familiar, but four or five of them were killed at the same time, which made Du Pingping not clear who they were for a while. But the third one who wants to play a game with himself, Du Pingping still hears it. It should be Ken Okawa, the fan of the game.

"I've arrived, and I'm about to enter the hotel." ”

As soon as Du Pingping entered the hotel, a big hand suddenly hugged Du Pingping warmly from the side. It was a high school classmate of Du Pingping in his sophomore year of high school, his name was Cao Muchuan, but when he entered the third year of high school, he entered the graduating class, and now he should have entered the society and gone to work.

Cao Muchuan looked excited, "Sure enough, it's you, Du Fair!"

Du Ping, "Let go! Let go! Let go! Caomuchuan, you guy, it's still like this! I'm not a woman, why are you holding so tightly!"

Du Pingping broke free from the warm embrace of his classmate Caomuchuan, and instinctively said what he often said in high school, and for a while, the original strangeness disappeared a lot, as if he had returned to the playful high school days.

"What are you doing standing there! Let's get in quickly." ”

When Du Ping walked into the meeting room side by side, the people had not yet arrived. There is no situation where the person mentioned in Zhou Zihang's mouth is already only one person short of Du Pingping. Although the people have not yet arrived, there are not a few missing. At this time, the students who came here did not feel strong because they had just shared the time for half a year. When Du Ping arrived, everyone was mostly bragging, gossiping, reminiscing and so on.

A, "You ask me how my girlfriend and I met?"

B, "yes, I was shocked when I suddenly found out that you already have a girlfriend. Do you have any photos? Take a look. ”

A, "I have one on my phone, is it okay?"

B, "Yes, bring it." It's so cute! How did you meet?"

A, "It was last year when I was traveling with my family during the summer vacation, I was in the car and listened to music with Bluetooth headphones, and then fell asleep. When I woke up, I found that the headphones were gone. I thought it was dropped, and I couldn't find it after looking for a long time. Then the girl in the seat next to her took off the headphones she was listening to and handed them to me, saying it was mine. Say, see you're asleep, and it's a waste electricity when it's on, so I'll take it and listen to it......"

B, "What a lovely girl!"

……

I haven't seen each other for a while, and many male and female students have already made friends of the opposite sex who don't have time in school. After the arrival of the last person, everyone directly entered the link of bragging and fighting with each other. Although Du Ping, as a college student of the Imperial University, was very enviable for a while, everyone was soon attracted by some things that men and women loved, and they continued to frolic constantly. Since everyone is already an adult, of course, wine is indispensable in this kind of gathering. But if a person drinks high, there is nothing that he does not dare to say. For example, the grass and wood chuan next to Du Pingping are touting his son's heroic deeds.

"When I was a child, I had a big golden retriever at home, and I was honest. Every time I go out, I will be bullied by the dogs in the neighborhood. I was four years old and went downstairs with my dog to pee, and my parents had always taken me out before. I was angry that my golden retriever was bullied by a nearby dog, so I came back and got a rolling pin and rushed out to ....... After that, my heroic deeds of fighting the dogs and avenging my brother spread throughout the neighborhood......"

Ha ha...... Ha ha......

There was laughter all around. Du Ping suddenly felt very lonely, picked up his mobile phone and found Mimiko. The phone was unplugged, and it was really blind and couldn't be connected. At this time, Du Ping suddenly heard someone among his classmates suddenly mention Suzuki Sawa, that is, his girlfriend who had developed well with Du Ping, if it weren't for her transfer to the United States, maybe Du Ping finally chose to be with her, and it wasn't necessarily Mimiko.

The questioner was a girl in high school.

Girl A, "Who of you knows about Suzuki Sawa's situation lately?"

Girl B, "Suzuki Sandha, that Suzuki Sandha?"

Girl A, "is the girl who transferred to Tang Guo at the end of her sophomore year and believes in Catholicism." ”

Girl B, "I don't know." However, I heard them say that they have an aunt in Tang Country and have never had children. So I especially like Suzuki Sand Ha, and I hope that Suzuki Sand Ha will pass. It turned out that I didn't agree all along, but then I didn't know how to agree. Maybe I've emigrated now and become a Tang national......"

I don't know why, at this moment, Du Ping's heart kept recalling the pure, enthusiastic and kind girl. There was a faint heartache. Maybe that's the simple and flawless first love that belongs to my hazy period, right?

At this moment, Du Ping didn't even think about Miyako anymore.

…………………………

At noon the next day, the doorbell of Du's house suddenly rang. When I opened the door, I saw a middle-aged woman in a black kimono standing outside the door with a box of sweets.

Woman, "I'm very sorry, is this Mr. Du Ping's house?"

Du Mu, "Yes. Who are you?"

Woman, "Very presumptuous to come and bother, I'm Kenko Nakamoto." The mother of the victim of the Tachibana High School serial suicide incident that Mr. Fair solved during his high school years, Mana Anki. ”

An unexpected guest, Du Pingping's parents hurriedly invited the guest into the living room, and sent his sister to call Du Pingping down from upstairs.

Kenko Nakamoto, "Very presumptuous to come and disturb, I'm Mana Kyoki's mother, Kenko Nakamoto. I would like to thank Mr. Du Pingping for his efforts and dedication to the death of the little girl. ”

As soon as he saw To, Kenko Nakamoto, who was kneeling in the living room talking to To's parents, turned around and fell to her knees.

Kenko Nakamoto, "Really, very, very thanks! I should have come over to thank you, but I haven't been able to recover from the grief of that incident since my little daughter died. So I'm so sorry!"

"Ms. Nakamoto, you don't have to do this. ”

Kenko Nakamoto, "I'm here to fulfill one of my personal wishes. I have accepted the fact that my little girl has died, and I am ready to start my life again. ”

Du Pingping remembers that after her daughter committed suicide, Ms. Nakamoto had already divorced her original husband because she could not accept the facts. And now she's saying that she's ready to live again.

"That's great!"

Kenko Nakamoto, "Yes. Last night I dreamed that the almond tree was smiling at me in heaven and saying that it would bless me in heaven. It seems that my mother has let her down! I am so weak. So I will live strong and hard in the future!"

Seeing off this Ms. Nakamoto, Du Pingping's family couldn't calm down for a long time, and they all felt uncomfortable for Ms. Nakamoto's misfortune, and at the same time admired Ms. Nakamoto's strength.

Du's mother, "Our family must live a strong and happy life!"

Du's father's hand stretched out and held his mother's hand tightly, his eyes full of affection. My sister reached over and grabbed them tightly. The three of them looked at each other, and Du Ping's hand was also stretched out.

…………………………

Back at Tachibana High School's grassy lake, Du Ping is no longer the student he used to be. The railing that once surrounded and isolated Qingcao Lake is long gone, let alone the photos of the original four victims. It's as if people have long forgotten what happened here.

A security guard from the park here came to Du Ping's side and greeted him in surprise, "Du Pingping...... Sir?"

Du Ping turned his head over, "Yes, I am!"

The security guard smiled brightly, "I really didn't expect to see you here!"

"Just come and have a look." ”

The security guard saw a bouquet of yellow chrysanthemums in Du Pingping's hand, as if he suddenly understood something, "Do you want to sacrifice the four girls who died here before?"

Du Ping was stunned, "Is there anyone else here to worship them?"

Security, "Of course!"

The security guard took Du Ping to a new statue in the park and pointed to the statue, "This is the statue of Mother Apricot Tree Manna, erected for them." Therefore, the people who came here to worship after that only performed sacrifices here. ”

Du Ping looked up, this is a statue of a quiet girl standing and reading, her face is not any of the 4 victims, but a line of small words is engraved under the statue, "May Jun Ranzawa, Hirakawa Ararito, Mana Apricot Tree, and Ayumi rest in eternal peace in the sky!"

At this time, there was a bunch of white chrysanthemums under the statue, and I don't know who put it here, lying quietly. Du Ping was stunned for a moment, and put the chrysanthemum in his hand on the ground, and at the same time closed his eyes and closed his hands.

Du Pingping, "Nan no Amitabha!"

…………………………

In the distant country of Tang, in an old church, the morning service had ended, and only a black-haired and national girl was left to sit quietly and distracted. A lively blonde girl jumped up and down beside her.

Blonde, "Suzuki Sandha, Suzuki Sandba!What are you thinking?"

Brunette, "Didn't think about anything." ”

Blonde, "You're blushing!"

Brunette, "I didn't." ”

Blonde, "You must be thinking about that boy, right? I've had experience with this kind of thing." ”

Brunette, "You talk nonsense!"

Blonde, "You're redder!"

Brunette, "You bad guy! ”

Blonde, "There's a dance party to join us in the evening, there's a lot of handsome guys there." Goethe is not bad, and he said that he has been successfully selected as a basketball star for high school students in Quantang, right?"

Brunette, "Not good!"

Blonde, "What's at stake?"

Brune, "Help others, punish evil and promote good." ”

Blonde, "Is there such a person?"

Brunette, "Yes." ”

Blonde, "I'm talking about being as big as us." ”

Brunette, "Of course." ”

Blonde, "Suzuki Sawa, it seems that if you used to have a boyfriend." As your only best friend, you have to confess!"

…………………………

Five days before the New Year, a small car stopped at the door of Du Ping's house, and a postman walked into the door of Du Pingping's house with a large bag.

Postman, "Du Ping's family, your New Year's greetings have arrived!"

Sister, "Yes." ”

My sister ran to the door first and picked up the New Year's greetings. Mom then walked out.

Mom, "You've done a great job!"

Postman, "Please sign on the receipt form." ”

Mom, "Okay. ”

When my mother was signing, my sister had already struggled to carry the big bag of New Year's greetings into the house.

Mom, "This kid makes you laugh." ”

Postman, "No, it's so cute!"

Mom, "Thank you." ”

When my mother returned to the living room of the house after signing the letter, she found that the large package of New Year's greetings had been neatly divided into two large, one small and three piles. My sister was crying at the youngest one.

Sister, "Mom, why is Ying'er's New Year's greetings so few." And my brother's size is so unfair!"

The mother rubbed her sister's head, looking at her son's large pile of various New Year's greetings, which seemed to be more than her own and father's, and could only smile helplessly.

The son has grown up!

This year, as the new force of the Du family, Du Pingping's New Year's greeting far surpassed Du's mother and Du's father, who has always been at the top of the family. In addition to the greetings of his classmates in high school and college, but also the greetings of some acquaintances and friends of the Kuroda family, such as Haruo Koishikawa and Nakae Momomoki, as well as the mayor of the Kuroda Industrial Incident, Yoshihiro Ogata, and the government of the Rakushima Island, the rescued suicide Inoguko, and his family, the families of the victims of the serial ghost killings at Tachibana High School, and Aiko Hirota in the stray animal shelter incident...... New Year's Certificate. In particular, the sending of the last kind of New Year's certificate actually made Du Ping feel a burst of happiness, that is, he helped others, and others never forgot their own respect and glory. At this time, a New Year's letter from a foreign country was taken out by Du Ping from his many New Year's letters.

Who could have sent this? I don't seem to have any foreign friends, although there are some foreign students at Imperial University, but Du Pingping, who has been very busy, has no time to start friendship with them.

The envelope of the New Year's letter was opened, and a familiar name appeared in front of Du Pingping.

Suzuki Sanda!

…………………………

A beautiful garden, a suspended wooden balcony, an old man in a kimono sits next to a small European-style wrought iron round table, and a small wrought-iron chair made by a beautiful wrought iron basking in the sun. An old butler in ancient costume is standing beside him and reporting to work.

Butler, "My lord, there are 278 New Year's greetings I received today, of which 277 are for you, and one is for Miss Mast. Greeting cards to the lord, they are ......"

Old man, "Bring me the New Year's note for the mast." ”

Butler, "Yes." ”

A very ordinary New Year's greeting letter, which can be bought in ordinary supermarkets. The handwriting on it is not very good-looking, and by the standards of the elderly, it should be said to be ugly. But the passage written above made the old man's face smile.

I wish Miss Mast eternal beauty and happiness.

…………………………

The days before the Chinese New Year always fly by, adults are very unable to arrange every day tightly, purchasing New Year's goods, new clothes, cleaning, everyone must clean the house before the New Year, and then hang a rope above the door, it is said to be used to expel ghosts.

The Spring Festival of the Dongliuqiu Kingdom is more like Christmas in Xizhou, and it is also an important program that lasts for a week.

When the New Year comes, one of the most important traditions is to go to a temple or temple to pray oysters, and to ring the 108 bells in the temple hall wearing a traditional kimono means that the new year will bring 108 good luck and complete 108 hearts. The temple will give everyone who visits a white note with your words of inspiration for the new year, and people will hang these white notes on the tree next to the temple after reading them.

After that, it will be the same as the Great Dark Day. The Great Day is the last day of the year. Usually most families will end all the preparations for the New Year during this period of time at noon. Start preparing the food for the New Year by the fireplace in the evening. This is an ancient tradition that goes on until dawn the next day. On this evening, everyone should look forward to a happy life in the coming year.

On this day, the most traditional food in the country is soba noodles, and it is called "Nianyue buckwheat" on the night of the Great Dawn Day. There is also the "Ekata Roll", which is a New Year's food that requires one bite to eat, similar to the usual sushi, and contains seven special foods rolled in it. When you eat, you should make a wish, and after eating it in one bite, your wishes will come true, and you will avoid disasters and attract blessings. Then there is the black bean rice, which represents hard work and earnestness, the autumn fish represents more crops and a bumper harvest, and other sumptuous foods such as "Jinshan" made of sweet potatoes, and the whole family can sit at the traditional Japanese-style warm table, eat food together, watch TV programs, and celebrate the New Year happily.

The most popular TV show during the Chinese New Year is the 80-year-old "Red and White Song Party". This is a kind of singing competition TV show in which women form a red team and men organize a white team, and the two teams of singers perform, alternating on the field. Audiences can also participate widely through the Internet, mobile phones, etc.

Until 12 midnight, the temple monks perform a live prayer ceremony, and the monks ring the ancient bell to ring 108 bells, symbolizing the exorcism of 108 demons and troubles. At this time, the adults of the country will ask the naughty children to sit together and listen to the "New Year's Bell", and the stop of the bell means that the new year has arrived.

After that, there is a traditional New Year's greeting event, and the younger generations have to visit relatives and friends in the vicinity. It also means that someone will come to you at any time. Children can take the New Year's money given by adults to play games and have fun at temple fairs and markets in various places.

Although there are 7 legal holidays for the New Year, there are so many things to do during the New Year. It seemed like in a blink of an eye, and the 7 days passed. Due to the winter vacation, Du Ping does not need to go back to school yet. But Du's father is going to return to his company with some small gifts.

On the morning of the first day after the holiday, the only father in the family who needs to work needs to go to work.

Led by the mother, the sons, daughters, and wives stood in a row and bowed together.

The three, "You've worked hard, please work hard." ”

In the cold, the husband, dressed in formal clothes, walked out of the house majestically.

Daughter, "It's so cold! I'm going to sleep a little longer." ”

The daughter was the first to run back to her cabin, followed by Du Ping, and finally Du's mother.

"Mother, I'm going to read a book for a while." It's okay, don't bother me. ”

Du Pingping, who returned to his room, dialed Miyako's mobile phone number again, and sure enough, there was still no signal. According to the previous agreement, the New Year in Qingqiu will be celebrated for a whole month according to the tradition, and unless there is really something, there will be no work in the first fifteen days. So Du Pingping seriously picked up the book he had taken home.
