Chapter 132: Spring Goes and Spring Comes Again
Time jumped to the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve Spring Festival, in fact, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve was the 25th, every household hung red lanterns, and the whole small town had an indescribable taste.
Fang Ning's house is also quite lively, he and his father are sticking the red Spring Festival couplets at the door, and they are very busy, this is the big distress of the house, if the house is smaller, there is no need to post so much.
Today's cooking in the kitchen is my mother, who is wearing a plaid kitchen skirt and holding a knife to cut all kinds of vegetables and meat on the cutting board.
Grandpa took a small stool in the bathroom, wearing glasses and was very serious about clamping duck feathers, this thing is difficult to get by thieves, he spent all morning cleaning ducks.
Fang Wei and her grandmother went out to buy some drinks and liquor, but due to the Chinese New Year, most of the shops were closed, and they ran for a long time to buy drinks.
In the evening, night falls.
Someone in the community in the distance set off fireworks, which exploded into ashes in the sky.
"Someone's setting off fireworks!" Fang Wei shouted from the balcony.
"We have it at home, come and put it at night!"
Fang's mother brought a plate of braised fish to the table and shouted, "It's time for the table! ”
"Oh, yes, it's time to eat!"
A table of meals are all big fish and meat, the braised fish is full of color and fragrance, the surface of the duck soup is floating with gold oil, the braised pork trotter fat is not greasy, and the stir-fried pork liver with chili is spicy and refreshing, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.
A large family sat down, laughing, happy, and reunited.
With a smile on his face, Grandpa stood up and poured liquor for his family, and Fang Ning and the two children could only drink Coke.
Fang's father held the white wine, his face was full of red light, he took a deep breath, and said: "I wish our family a fish every year, a safe year, good luck, children learning and progressing, parents live a long life, I wish my wife eternal youth, and live younger and younger!"
"I wish my dad a successful career and endless money in the new year!" Fang Ning said with a smile and toasted to his father.
"I wish my father a successful career, good health, all the best, an auspicious Year of the Ox, and a bullish spirit!" Fang Wei also said with a grin.
In the end, everyone stood up, toasted, and said in unison: "I wish you all a new year and a new atmosphere, and you will be angry!"
Fang Ning smiled slightly, the air was filled with the smell of happiness, every light particle was full of warmth, he liked this warm atmosphere very much.
Someone once said that happiness seems to be nothing, happiness is a family reunion, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, its joy is endless, this is the most appropriate happiness.
Everyone has their own New Year's wishes and circumstances, some people hope that their family will be safe and sound, free of illness and disaster, some people hope that they can be admitted to a good university, some people work hard silently for work and career, and some people want to find a small home that belongs to their own sense of belonging, which can shelter from the wind and rain, these more or less wishes represent their own summary of the past and their expectations for the coming year.
The lights are brilliant at night, and the night is lit up by fireworks downstairs, and all kinds of fireworks are blown into dust in the sky, streaking across everyone's hearts.
Fang Ning and his family sat on the sofa to watch the Spring Festival Gala, until the Spring Festival Gala came to an end, the ending song of "Unforgettable Tonight" was played, and the hosts Li Yong, Dong Qing, Jay Chou, Jackie Chan, Eason Chan and other stars were all present, sending their blessings in front of the screen, and then ending one by one.
Countless fireworks rose into the sky alternately, as if they were unwilling to end the curtain and rushed to bloom their own light.
Fang Ning smiled silently, "Year 09 is over!"
Then the adults and elders gave Fang Ning red envelopes, and everyone got their own red envelopes, and they got the New Year's money again, and their hearts were slightly touched and the waves wrinkled.
At twelve o'clock, Fang Wei and the two stared at the clock without stopping.
The long and short needles of the fashion turned unhurriedly, and when they all pointed to the twelfth position, they cheered, "The Spring Festival is here! ”
Dad had already prepared the fireworks downstairs, and when he saw the sound of firecrackers rumbling everywhere and the fireworks flying into the sky, he also lit his own fireworks.
Although there is a ban on fireworks this year, there are still many people who secretly put it, and everyone doesn't know who put it.
Fang Ning's family all came downstairs, looking up at the colorful fireworks, which lit up the entire night, especially the illuminated riverside, which was even more gorgeous.
In the sound of fireworks, Fang Ning's mobile phone rang, and a text message was sent, he was slightly stunned, "Fang Ning, Happy New Year, what do you want to say?"
The person who sent the text message was Cheng Xi, and the content of the short message also conformed to her style, concise and direct.
Fang Ning was really a little surprised, I don't know if she sent it to all her classmates, or just to himself, but this is not the point, as long as there is a blessing, it would be fine. So I thought about it and texted back, "Nice to meet you." ”
"Me too. ”
The two tacitly agreed not to text anymore.
White Dragon Temple Community.
The girl smiled beautifully at night, perhaps the brightest of her few smiles, and others didn't know why she smiled, just as they didn't understand why she didn't smile.
This beautiful, deserted girl slowly receded in the black night, and retreated into the night.
Only the loneliness after the prosperity remains.
The Spring Festival from the first day to the tenth day of the new year is the most difficult day for Fang Ning, no matter why, as long as people who have experienced the loss of relatives can empathize with this pain. Some relatives are relatively close, and some are very fast, almost crossing a city, especially in this era when the traffic is inconvenient, it would be good if they could buy a convenient transportation car, but Fang Ning's family has not bought it yet, so they can only continue to go to relatives in pain.
Spring always comes quickly, and before you know it, you find that the earth has rejuvenated, and there is not much left of the holidays, and the scariest thing is that you haven't done your winter vacation homework yet.
Fang's father and Fang's mother also have to go to other places to continue to earn money, although there are too many reluctances, but life still has to go on.
Not only Fang Ning's parents, but also more young and strong people have to go out to earn money to support their families, there is no way out in a small town, and if they can't make money, they will sit and wait to starve to death.
Fang Ning's brother and sister have grown a lot taller this year, he has jumped faster, and Fang Wei has grown more slowly, but it is a cut taller than girls of the same age.
After Fang's father and Fang's mother left, the whole house was empty again.
There is a feeling of emptiness everywhere, especially in such a large house, where the air is empty when you speak.
The earth has regained spring for more than ten days, and the cold wave is coming, to be precise, it is cold.
Fang Ning put on bloated cotton wool again, hugged the stove to keep warm, and stomped his feet and sighed at the impermanence of the weather.
