7. Chinese New Year

In the wax moon, it is covered in silver.

Xu Ruo's father, Xu Youguo, returned home with his luggage and frosty face, first hugged the excited Xu Ruo, and said to Xu Mei: "I'm back, is there any hot tea at home, I'm freezing to death." ”

Xu Mei's happy face was shining, and she nodded continuously: "Yes, yes, I'll pour it for you." ”

Xu Ruo wrapped her hands around her father's neck, looking at her father's dark face, all traces of wind and sun, she once again spit on herself in her previous life in her heart, a selfish ghost, a selfish ghost who only cares about herself and ignores her family. Just because of the bad luck he suffered when he was a child, he gave up on himself, angered his family, felt sorry for himself, and couldn't see the heartache and old age of his parents.

The more Xu Ruo thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, she leaned on Xu Youguo and said, "Dad, you are happy." The tone was a little low.

When Xu Youguo heard this, he rubbed his daughter's head with a pleased smile: "Dad is not hard, we are young and grow up." ”

"Well, Dad, I will definitely study hard and let you and your mother live a good life in the future. Xu Ruo said firmly.

"Hahaha. Xu Youguo laughed: "Okay, then your mother and I will wait to enjoy the blessings." ”

Xu Ruo also laughed: "Dad, I'm a sixth-grade student now." ”

Xu Youguo was stunned: "What." ”

"I said I skipped to the sixth grade!" Xu Ruo said loudly next to Xu Youguo's ear.

At this time, Xu Meiren came over with a teacup and continued: "Yes, there is a country, your daughter is in the sixth grade, I didn't believe it at first, and then I went to school to go through the procedures, Xiaoruo has a smart brain, and I will remember it after reading the book." ”

Xu Meiren put the teacup on the table, and when she boarded, Xu Youguo's heart also boarded.

Xu Youguo looked at his wife, and then at his daughter, who was eleven years old in his arms, and still shook his head in disbelief: "Xiao Ruo is only eleven years old?

"Dad, I even took the first place in the final exam! Don't underestimate your daughter. Xu Ruo pouted: "Mom, quickly bring the test papers, otherwise Dad won't believe it." ”

"Good. Xu Meiren turned around with a smile and went to get the test paper.

Xu Youguo swallowed his saliva, only to find that his mouth was very dry, he sat on the stool with Xu Ruo in his arms, picked up the teacup and drank tea, but he seemed uneasy, he never thought that as soon as he went home, the mother and daughter would give him such a big surprise, this surprise was too shocking, so that he couldn't believe it and looked forward to it faintly.

Soon, Xu Meiren walked over with the test paper, "Na, take a look." ”

The bright 100 points came into Xu Youguo's eyes, and he took it with one hand, 100 points for the final test paper of the sixth grade of mathematics! 100 points for the final test paper of the sixth grade of Chinese!

"Dad, you believe it now. ”

Xu Youguo nodded in a trance, and then said in ecstasy: "Xiaomei, look, Xiaoruo is ...... Two 100 points! That's a ...... Xiao Ruo, you are really angry, Dad is proud of you!"

The head of the family was obviously too agitated and incoherent now.

Neither Xu Meinor Xu Ruo had ever seen Xu Youguo like this, and they both laughed. Can a family of three be described as happy?

After being happy, Xu Youguo calmed down, but the smile was still on his face and refused to fade: "Xiaomei, why don't you call me about skipping a grade." ”

"How expensive the phone bill is. Xu Meiren glanced at Xu Youguo, and said, "My daughter also wanted to surprise you, so she didn't call you to talk about it." Besides, call you and you'll be able to go home?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere became dull again.

Xu Youguo is not guilty, he left his home to work in other places, and he can't see his wife and children a few times a year, but that's all for money. Xu Meiren is not uncomplaining, a family, inside and out, no one says that there is suffering.

"Okay, I know what you're doing with this face for the sake of this family. In the end, it was Xu Meiren who broke the silence: "Hurry up and clean up, you can eat." ”

"Yes, let's eat. Come on, Dad. Xu Ruo pretended not to understand what his parents said before, and made a child's innocence and cuteness, which finally made the two adults smile again.

The family was finally reunited, and a bowl full of braised pork, winter bamboo shoots, lentils, white radish, and pumpkin was placed on the dinner table. Unprecedented abundance. Xu Youguo sighed: "It's better to be at home." He stretched out his chopsticks and gave Xu Ruo and Xu Meiren a piece of oily braised pork.

Xu Ruo smiled: "Thank you, Dad." ”

Xu Meiren also glanced at Xu Youguo, and her heart warmed up.

The husband and wife haven't seen each other for a year, and they will talk a lot, Xu Mei asked if it was okay to be outside, and Xu Youguo replied, okay, it's all good, I just miss home. Xu Youguo asked if you were doing at home, and Xu Mei replied, whether it's okay or not, the things in the fields are also busy, and Xu Ruo doesn't have to worry about her.

……

Xu Ruo smiled and listened to her parents caring for each other, her heart was warm, she didn't have much impression at this time in her previous life, she may have seen this scene, but she didn't remember it. When she grew up, she had never seen such a warm time for her parents, and most of what she saw was heartache and hatred for her.

Time always flies by when you are not expecting it, and it is only when you occasionally want to remember that you realize that so much time has passed. Life seems long, but every year flies so fast!

In the short twenty years of Xu Ruo's last life, she couldn't find any memories that made her laugh when she thought about it, she just lived numbly, without purpose, direction, home, maybe there was, but she couldn't go back and didn't want to go back.

Xu Ruo died once in this life, because she knew the horror of the passage of time, so she installed a countdown in her heart, and she was trying her best to race against time. Although she has no direction for the future, she absolutely wants her parents to live happily and no longer make them sad.

Outside, the sun was shining, and through the window, the warmth was on the family, and the laughter could be heard.

On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the family changed into clothes that did not look old and looked eighty percent new, gathered around the table, and drank salty porridge, which contained tofu, dried shoots, potatoes, dates, and a pickled pork leg bone.

It's a rare delicacy, especially in the cold winter months, and taking a bite of the bowl warms your hands and stomach.

Because of the snow that had fallen last night, the ground was covered with a layer of pure snow that was not thin. Xu Ruo has not seen such a big snow for many years, in his previous life, the temperature rose a little bit year by year, and the snow here in the south has almost disappeared, and he can only find traces of snow on TV.

At this moment, Xu Ruo is like a real child, jumping in the snow, leaving messy footprints, accompanied by crisp laughter, which makes people happy at first sight.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Xu Youguo hugged Xu Ruo and lit the fireworks, and after the "chirp" rose sharply, "Peng" exploded. Coincidentally, the sound of several fireworks exploding came from the sky, which was deafening. But no one cared, everyone looked up at the sky, brilliant, gorgeous, ephemeral, and rising again......

After about half an hour, the fireworks gradually disappeared, and the smell of gunpowder still lingered in the air.

Xu Ruo fell asleep with a smile, she is still young now, and it is not suitable for keeping vigil with adults, Xu Youguo kissed her daughter lightly on the face, closed the door, and did not turn off the lights, this is the custom of the New Year, and the lights should be turned on all night.

One year, it was sent to and ushered in the lights of thousands of homes......
