After pasting the couplets and window flowers, I still went to the kitchen to be busy with my dad for tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and our father and son talked and laughed, sharing their own happy things, and there was no negative energy at all.

At half past five in the afternoon, we served the hot Chinese New Year's Eve dinner on the table, and at this moment the deafening sound of firecrackers was already remembered outside, and the feeling of the New Year was instantaneous.

My dad also took out money paper and invited the elderly, which is our custom, and every Chinese New Year, we will let the deceased relatives serve the table first.

It sounds scary, but that's it, it's a custom.

My mother is a hurdle that I can never cross in my heart, so when I invite my deceased relatives, neither my father nor I mention my mother.

I know that my father also misses my mother, he has had several opportunities to remarry over the years, but he has not remarried, he told me that he is sorry for my mother in his heart, and he will never marry again in this life.

After inviting the old man, my father and I went to the table, poured wine, and the father and son drank.

My dad put a little bit of everything in my bowl to give me a taste of his craft, and I remember he didn't know how to cook, at least during his years as a gambler, he relied on instant noodles to make a living, and it was hard to swallow when he made a scrambled egg with tomatoes.

But this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner made me impressed with him, and this taste is the taste of home.

The sound of firecrackers outside shook the sky, and we chatted while eating, talking about my sister Xiang Miaomiao, and also talking about Wang Yan, whom I only met yesterday.

I told my dad about me and Wang Yan, and he was naturally satisfied, he always hoped that I could start a family as soon as possible, and when he heard me say that Wang Yan is still a teacher, he was even happier.

I could also see his melancholy in his joy, and after a few glasses of wine, he finally told me the melancholy in his heart.

"Son, Dad is really useless, and he doesn't have the ability to help you buy a new house, Dad has saved some savings in the past six months, I'll give it to you later, you can save a little more to mortgage a house!"

It turned out that he was worried about this matter, so I smiled and said, "No, I know my own business." ”

He said, "This is necessary, the girl follows you, you can't let the family rent a house with you, right? ”

I smiled bitterly and said, "Dad, I have money, and I plan to buy a house after the New Year, don't worry." ”

"Then you have to take it, you have money, you have more money in the future, I should give it to you. ”

"Ahem, don't talk about that, drink one. I picked up my glass and touched it again.

As we ate and chatted, the room was filled with laughter and the sound of firecrackers outside, and this year was arguably the most meaningful year I've ever had.

We drank from half past five in the afternoon to eight in the evening, not all the time, but we drank while chatting and watching the Spring Festival Gala, which was a really good feeling.

At about half past eight in the evening, Wang Yan's phone call came in, and she asked me where I was, saying that she was almost at the courtyard where I lived.

I didn't expect her to really come to accompany me for New Year's Eve, and I told her to come back in a while.

After hanging up her phone, my dad asked me, "That girl called you?"

"Well, she said she was coming to accompany me for New Year's Eve. ”

"Aren't you going to bring it to Dad?"

"Dad, I haven't confirmed the relationship with her yet, you're too anxious, and the girl is not ready. ”

My dad laughed and said, "I'm kidding you, when you're done, won't I be able to watch it." Wait a minute!"

My dad went back to the room, and after a while, he walked out with a bank card in his hand, and he said to me: "There are 20,000 yuan in this card, which is my savings for half a year, you take it." ”

"I don't want to. ”

"Take it, I said it before, this is what I should give, even if you have the money to buy a house, then you can take it to buy some clothes for other girls, it is also a piece of my heart. ”

"I have money, you keep it for yourself, you just need money everywhere you are just stable. "I insisted on not taking it.

My father's face immediately changed: "If you don't accept it, I won't forgive myself in my heart...... Son, listen, Dad can still earn money now, and Dad can't use any money alone, so you can accept it, this is Dad's intention. ”

Seeing that he was so embarrassed, I reluctantly accepted it, but it was only kept with me temporarily, and I will take it out when he is in need of money.

I accepted the bank card, and my dad told me that the password to the card was my birthday, and he sent me downstairs, and we said "Happy New Year" respectively!

On the way home, the sound of firecrackers also began to intensify, and the fireworks in the sky were intoxicating.

At this time, I was not thinking about someone, but Liu Qing, I don't know where she is now, is she happy or sad?

I also received a lot of well-wishing text messages on my mobile phone, and An Zheng called me directly to wish me a happy new year!

I asked him how he was doing, and he told me to make dumplings at home with his mother and live together as a family.

I think it would be nice if the story could end here, but it's a pity that our lives will go on in retrospect.

When I returned to the small courtyard of the alley, I saw Wang Yan at the door, she had a red scarf around her neck, and she was wearing the clothes I bought for her today.

Real clothes are very suitable for her bookish atmosphere, she is standing in my yard looking up at the fireworks that exploded in the sky, and when the care of those fireworks shines on her face, it makes me a little trance, and for a moment I recognized her as Song Qingyi.

I froze at the door, and for a long time there was no response.

In the end, Wang Yan found out that I was back, and she smiled at me and said, "Are you back?"

"Well, I accompanied my dad for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. I said as I walked over to her.

"Did you eat well?"

"Pretty good, how about you?"

"I'm fine, too. ”

"It's cold outside, let's go sit inside. ”

"It's not cold, I still want to go out for a walk, you see how beautiful the city is tonight!"

I looked up and looked around, and the usually deserted alleys were also full of red lanterns, and every house was lit up.

I hesitated for a moment, then said to her, "Let's go, let's go out for a walk." ”

The small shop at the entrance of the alley had not yet closed, so I proposed to buy a few boxes of explosives to play with, but Wang Yan denied it, she didn't seem to be a very playful woman, and she was not interested in these things.

So we walked on the road in such a monotonous way, chatting very casually.

Probably because of the drinking, I was a little bolder, and the ghost messenger asked her, "Wang Yan, I really want to know what you think of me?"

"What do you think?" she asked, with her hands in the pockets of her clothes, stunned for a moment.

"I'll just explain it, I think you're good, if you think I'm okay, I think we can go further, what do you think?"

Wang Yan seemed a little embarrassed, she was silent for a while before she whispered, "I can!"

"Really?" I stopped, turned to look at her "seriously", and asked, "Can I understand that we are now in a relationship?"
