Chapter 4: Chinese New Year's Eve for Two People

Since entering the nineties, the way people celebrate the Spring Festival is gradually changing, in the past, every family went home to make dumplings for the New Year (northern custom), and then buying quick-frozen dumplings gradually became a habit, and then some half-finished family packages in the vegetable market sold quite well, and then went to restaurants and restaurants to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has become a new fashion. During the Spring Festival last year, many restaurants and restaurants couldn't even eat if they didn't book in advance, and this year was no exception, but fortunately, Zhao Haiguang had already booked it.

On the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan drove to the restaurant where Zhao Haiguang had booked a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. In fact, Zhang Lexing was not very willing to participate in this kind of occasion before, every time he watched other people's families having fun, he couldn't help but feel sad secretly, and later after meeting Chen Zishan, he gradually got better, although he was still a little uncomfortable, but he was already able to restrain himself well.

This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner basically belongs to the nature of a family banquet, because of Chen Zishan's request, there are not many people who participate, except for her parents, only Zhao Haiguang and his girlfriend Qiao Xiaohui, casually eating exquisite dishes on the round table, chatting with horses, no one deliberately advises wine, no pressure, no status considerations, only a faint family warmth, even Zhang Lexing, a person who does not love the Spring Festival, seems to feel very good.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the sky had gradually darkened, and after everyone broke up at the door of the restaurant, they drove away, and Zhang Lexing also drove Chen Zishan to his villa.

Chen Zishan didn't talk much along the way, lowering her head and seeming to be a little depressed, Zhang Lexing asked with concern while driving the car: "Shanshan, are you okay?"

"It's okay, really. Chen Zishan raised her head and a smile appeared on her face: "It's just that I didn't go home for the Spring Festival for the first time, and I felt a little indescribable in my heart." ”

"I'm sorry, it's all to accompany me, which makes you embarrassed. ”

Chen Zishan heard the apology in Zhang Lexing's words, hurriedly leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, and comforted: "Lexing, you don't have to mind, in fact, I want to accompany you." ”

Zhang Lexing let go of the accelerator under his feet, slowly parked the car to the side of the road, then turned to look at Chen Zishan affectionately, and said, "Thank you, Shanshan." ”

After speaking, Zhang Lexing leaned his face up, and gently imprinted his lips on Chen Zishan's warm lips, unwilling to let go for a long time......

The car drove into the villa area, in addition to the gate and the street lights on the road, at least half of the villas were in the dark, it is said that most of the homeowners went to the warm south for a vacation, in contrast, the lights on their villas are very obvious, like a lighthouse in the sea. From time to time, patrolling security guards passed by on the road, and when they saw Zhang Lexing's car coming in, they would stop and salute.

When I drove the car into the garage of the villa and parked it, and walked into the living room on the first floor, it was already 7:20 p.m. Because of the Spring Festival, Ma Guanghai, who is usually inseparable, was sent home by Zhang Lexing, of course, for safety reasons, there were still eight bodyguards left in the villa, who were responsible for protection in shifts. It was still early, Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan went upstairs to wash up, changed into pajamas and slippers, and then came to the entertainment room on the second floor, turned on the big-screen TV, and prepared to watch the annual Spring Festival Gala. In fact, Zhang Lexing has watched the Spring Festival Gala many times over the years, and he has long lost interest, but Chen Zishan is still the first time after all, so he has to reluctantly accompany him to take a look.

"Lexing, did you buy it from China Radio and Television News? It seems to have a program list for today's party. Chen Zishan sat on the sofa and suddenly remembered something related to tonight's show.

Zhang Lexing thought about it, the newspaper seemed to be bought, but he couldn't think of where to put it for a while, touched his nose, and he had an idea: "If you want to see the program list, why bother looking for the newspaper, I have a better idea." ”

"What's the idea?" asked Chen Zishan curiously.

"Wait a minute. After Zhang Lexing finished speaking, he got up and walked to the desk next to him, and brought the IBM T hinkPad770 on it, the 14.1-inch color screen, plus the built-in DVD drive and Modem, all of which made this machine a little heavy.

Moved the snacks and drinks on the coffee table in front of the sofa, vacated a space, put the ThinkPad770 on it, and Zhang Lexing dragged the phone line over and connected it to the built-in modem of the laptop. Turn on the computer, start the dial-up connection, enter the account and password, log in to the Internet, and then Zhang Lexing habitually hung up the ICQ.

"Lexing, is this the idea you are talking about?" Chen Zishan said in disbelief, pointing to the laptop.

"That's right, when I read the newspaper two days ago, I seemed to see that CCTV will open an official website for the Spring Festival this year, and I guess there should be a program list on it. Zhang Lexing explained.

"Oh, then you get it out and see, it's almost eight o'clock. Chen Zishan urged again and again.

"Okay, no problem. Zhang Lexing habitually wanted to open the search engine to find it first, and then he remembered that there was no really useful search engine in China at this time, of course, maybe this was related to the scarcity of domestic websites, but fortunately, he still remembered the domain name of CCTV. Enter the domain name into the address bar,After waiting for a while,CCTV's website opened,Although it is a national TV station,In Zhang Lexing's eyes,The design of the whole page is as simple as a personal homepage,Fortunately, the words "1998 Spring Festival Gala Topic" are still very eye-catching,Zhang Lexing moved the mouse,Click on it,The small earth on the browser began to rotate again。

The whole topic includes "Spring Festival Gala News", "Wonderful Moment Review", "Spring Festival Gala Program List", "Spring Festival Gala Introduction", "Gala Hotline" and other columns, "Spring Festival Gala News" is mostly related to the Spring Festival Gala press releases, what Spring Festival Gala is preparing intensively, collecting New Year greeting cards and mascots, opening a new venue this year, female director Meng Xin's interview, and even including tidbits of the preparatory stage of the party. Zhang Lexing didn't pay much attention to these contents, but Chen Zishan was quite interested, so he took the mouse and clicked to watch it. Fortunately, there is not much content, and after Chen Zishan hastily finished reading it, there were still two minutes before the official start of the party at eight o'clock, which was just enough for Zhang Lexing to call up the program list of the party.

When I was looking at the program list, the picture on the TV screen turned, and a group of animated characters flashed, and tonight's program officially began. As usual, there was a warm applause, and then with the accompaniment of a burst of cheerful and auspicious music, a bunch of big tigers and small tigers rushed to the stage, and the opening song and dance "Spring Greeting" kicked off the prelude to today's party. Chen Zishan didn't care about continuing to study the order of the programs on the computer screen, picked up a bag of snacks, leaned back, and watched the show intently.

After several collective singing and dancing, Yan Shunkai walked onto the stage with a large bag and a small bag, and began his adventure on the side of the road, the story of being troubled by a hundred-yuan bill, and of course, Jiang Xiaohan dressed as a student, the interesting plot made Chen Zishan lean forward and back.

"Sister Xin, Happy New Year! I wish you eternal youth......

"Happy New Year, Lao Mai!"

"Happy New Year, Bill!"

"Happy Chinese New Year, Steve!"

……

At the same time, Zhang Lexing was sending New Year wishes to his friends on ICQ, because there were more friends, except for Yang Xinxin's, the others were too lazy to use their brains to think about it sentence by sentence, so he simply made a copy and paste, and then changed the name of the person. Zhang Lexing's blessing was quickly responded, and naturally he also sent blessings to understand the Spring Festival customs, and some people who didn't understand the situation and received the New Year's blessings were a little inexplicable, such as foreigners like Gates and Ballmer, and they had to bother Zhang Lexing to spend some effort to explain what the Chinese New Year is. For some friends who are not on ICQ, Zhang Lexing logged on to his mailbox and sent an e-card of "good health" or "Happy New Year", which can be regarded as a fashionable and environmentally friendly blessing.

Seeing Zhang Lexing sending ICQ messages and e-cards in full swing, Chen Zishan also came over curiously to take a look, she had already seen a lot of ICQ chat, and she saw the e-card for the first time, so she pestered Zhang Lexing and asked for a while, when she figured out that as long as she had an e-mail address, she also forced Zhang Lexing to send her the most beautiful e-card, so she was satisfied and continued to eat snacks and watch TV.

Zhang Lexing occasionally looks up at TV, so that he can chat with Chen Zishan about the more interesting programs in the party, such as Faye Wong and Na Ying's "Meet Ninety-Eight", such as Uncle Zhao and Aunt Gao to pay New Year's greetings to the young and stylish old Fan, etc.

"Brother, you are all well, you have been resting for a few days, your sister and I still have to go to work today, it's painful!" Yang Xinxin sent a paragraph, and at the end was accompanied by a happy crying expression.

"Sister Xin, you didn't rest today?" Zhang Lexing asked curiously.

"You forget, we don't celebrate the Spring Festival here, but there are a lot of Chinese employees in the company, so there will be a holiday at noon today, but many people are taking annual leave and have already rested. Pity a shareholder of my company, I still have to work for my brother as a major shareholder during the Chinese New Year, and I don't have to rest. Yang Xinxin made a joke: "Brother, you have to give me a big red envelope!"

"Sister Xin, I'll give you a luxury yacht, and then you can take your people to the Caribbean for a vacation. ”

"Lexing, Sister Xin used to take care of us, help me say hello!" At this time, Chen Zishan interjected next to him.

Zhang Lexing nodded, and typed on the ICQ: "Sister Xin, Shanshan also greets you! I wish you ......."

"Thank you, since you are so bold brother, my sister can't be stingy, when the two of you get married, my sister will give you a small plane so that you can travel around the world. ”

……

Chatting and watching TV, Chen Zishan may be a little tired, her body collapsed, lying on her side on the sofa, and her head resting on Zhang Lexing's lap. Zhang Lexing saw Chen Zishan's curled legs, patted her gently, and then leaned his body to the side as far as possible so that she could stretch her legs, and then asked with concern: "Shanshan, is it cold, do you want to cover the bed quilt?"

Chen Zishan waved her hand and refused: "It's okay, I'll lie down for a while, and I'll get up later." ”

Zhang Lexing had no choice but to end the chat on the laptop as soon as possible, sit up straight, try to make Chen Zishan lie up comfortably, and then looked at the TV screen boringly, while accompanying her to talk. Chatting and chatting, Chen Zishan's voice gradually lowered, and by the time Aunt Zhao appeared in a kung fu costume, she had completely quieted down. Zhang Lexing looked down, Chen Zishan put one hand under his head, and his feet didn't know when to curl up, like a kitten asleep, his long eyelashes moved gently with the rhythm of breathing.

Zhang Lexing was afraid that Chen Zishan would catch a cold, so he took the thin quilt placed on the low cabinet next to the sofa, covered her gently, and then carefully tucked the corners of the quilt, making sure that his legs, feet and body were not exposed, so he put down his heart and continued to watch the TV boringly.

After a long time, the time gradually approached zero, Zhao Zhongxiang and Ni Ping began to say these sensational words excitedly on the TV screen, and many cast and crew members also stood on stage according to the plan, quietly looking forward to the arrival of that moment in the voice of the two. The clock ticked and ticked, and gradually the hour, minute, and second hands all coincided together, and the clock at zero o'clock on the TV rang with it, but Zhang Lexing couldn't hear it clearly, because the sound of firecrackers outside the house was even more deafening, even through the closed glass window, it didn't have much impact at all.

Chen Zishan, who was asleep, was also awakened by this loud noise, she sat up suddenly, looked around blankly, and asked, "Le Xing, what's wrong?"

Zhang Lexing reached out to hug Chen Zishan, kissed her on the lips, and said, "Happy New Year, Shanshan!"

"It's the New Year. Chen Zishan sobered up a little, then she jumped up and hurriedly said: "It's past zero o'clock, let's go set off fireworks!"

Zhang Lexing said with a smile: "At least, let's change our clothes." ”

Chen Zishan looked down at the clothes on her body, smiled embarrassedly, and then immediately turned around and ran out of the entertainment room, and Zhang Lexing had no choice but to run out. After changing their clothes, the two went to the courtyard of the villa and moved the fireworks they had bought a few days ago from the utility room.

Chen Zishan picked two starry stars from it and lit them with lighters, and then one in each hand, while constantly gesturing, running around the yard. Under the fireworks in the sky, Chen Zishan and the stars flying in her hands loomed in front of Zhang Lexing's eyes, her expression was happy and simple, like a child who got a toy.

Infected by Chen Zishan's happiness, Zhang Lexing also picked a bead cylinder from the pile of fireworks with great interest, lit it and raised it high with his hand, "Tom...... Tong...... Tom ......", one after another fireballs of different colors flew out of the bead tube, rushed upwards with an eerie light, and joined the fireworks display in the sky, and the New Year arrived......
