For Feng Tianyu and Bao Xiaodie, Chinese New Year's Eve was the busiest day since they ran the restaurant, because there were more customers than usual, and the chef and waiter had all gone home for the Spring Festival, and everything fell on them. Fortunately, Feng Tianyu was afraid that he would not be busy, so he only accepted hot pot orders, and all the orders for the Chinese New Year's Eve meal were pushed off, because the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner must have big dishes, and there was no manpower, and it was not pleasing to be busy with hands and feet. But despite this, they were still busy like a spinning top and did not have a moment to rest.

It was only after the last customers had left the restaurant that they were completely relaxed.

At this time, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside is deafening, and the city is like a pot of boiling water, completely shrouded in the atmosphere of festive joy.

Feng Tianyu and Bao Xiaodie didn't feel much of the happiness brought to them by the festival, on the one hand, because they were very busy, and on the other hand, because they felt that after the New Year, they would be a year older, and they all secretly sighed that time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, Shaohua is always unconsciously taken away by the ruthless years, and those precious things that have been lost can never be recovered.

Although there was a faint melancholy in their hearts at this time, they didn't say it, because they didn't know what the other party was thinking, and they were afraid that it would affect each other's mood after saying it.

Feng Tianyu fried a few dishes, brought them out, and called Bao Xiaodie, who was sitting next to the cash register, to come over for dinner.

Bao Xiaodie came over and said, "My hand is injured, I can't hold chopsticks, and I don't want to eat much." With that, she stretched out her right hand, opened her fist-shaped palm, and saw a ball of tissues that were wet with blood, and she took the tissue away, and her palms were full of blood, and it was still bleeding, which was really shocking.

Feng Tianyu couldn't help but let out an "ah", and said distressedly: "Why did you get hurt?" Picking up a roll of tissues on the table, she pulls it up and hands it to Fluttershy, trying to get her to stop the blood.

Bao Xiaodie squeezed the tissue in her hand and said, "Earlier, the customer hit the cup on the ground and broke it, I didn't clean it in time, just now when you were stir-frying, I suddenly felt a little dizzy when I walked, so I fell to the ground and scratched my hand." ”

Feng Tianyu was a little anxious and said, "What should I do then?" I don't know if there is a hospital in the hospital yet? ”

"It's okay, it's just a little skin trauma, you don't need to go to the hospital, you'll be fine in two days." Bao Xiaodie looked like she didn't care, "Brother, eat quickly, leave me alone." ”

Feng Tianyu took a ceramic spoon and handed it to Fluttershy, saying, "You use the spoon, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, you not only have to eat, but also eat full." ”

Bao Xiaodie took the spoon with her left hand, but she put it on the table and said, "I really don't want to eat, I'm so tired." She never said she was tired for the first time, and it seemed that she was really tired today.

Feng Tianyu continued to persuade her, but Fluttershy still said that he would not eat, and he had no choice but to ignore her for the time being, and picked up chopsticks and began to eat.

Feeling thirsty, Bao poured a cup of tea and took a few sips, then leaned her arm against the edge of the table, resting her chin on her arm, and blinking her bright eyes from time to time, like a lazy kitten. She looked at Feng Tianyu eating with relish, and thought it was very good-looking, so she smiled, showing her pearl-like teeth, and suddenly said, "Brother, do you remember when I was young, when you fed me?" ”

After Feng Tianyu swallowed the food in his mouth, he said: "Remember, you were a very picky eater when you were a child, I had no choice, I had to feed you often, I still remember that once you didn't want to eat, so you cried and pushed the dishes and chopsticks in my hand to the ground." ”

Bao Xiaodie smiled coquettishly and said, "When did that happen, why don't I have any impression at all?" ”

Feng Xiaoyu said: "When you were about three years old. ”

Bao Xiaodie said, "Oh, no wonder I don't remember, I was still young. I only remember one time when I had a high fever and didn't eat a drip for three days and three nights, you boiled a bowl of rice porridge and brought it to the bed and fed it to me one bite at a time. ”

Feng Tianyu said: "I was very impressed by that time, it was when you were nine years old, and you almost died that time. Then he joked, "You still remember after so many years, it seems that my brother didn't hurt you in vain." ”

Bao Xiaodie smiled sweetly and said, "That's because I've cared about my brother since I was a child, so I remember a lot of the past clearly." Her cheeks were hot, and she was embarrassed to take out her phone to look at it, trying to hide the tension inside. She unlocked the screen lock of her mobile phone and saw that there were two missed calls and more than a dozen unread text messages, and the calls were made by Sun Nan, who was trying to pursue her - she knew that Sun Nan had called her, but she deliberately did not answer at that time; The messages were sent by her classmates and friends, and they were all good wishes.

After Feng Tianyu ate for a while, he persuaded again: "You eat some, people are iron, rice is steel, and it is definitely not okay to not eat." ”

Bao Xiaodie shook her head and said no, and after a while, she suddenly thought that if he fed me, I would eat it, so she plucked up the courage and said quietly: "Brother, it's inconvenient for me to take a spoon, why don't you feed me?" After saying that, she felt a deer bump in her heart.

Feng Tianyu looked at her in amazement, thinking to himself, what was this girl thinking? He said, "You can use your left hand." ”

Bao Xiaodie's face turned even redder, like a piece of red silk, and she stammered, "If you don't feed it, forget it, I'm not a child anymore, you definitely won't feed me like I did when I was a child, in fact, I'm teasing you." ”

"Okay, I'll feed you." Feng Tianyu couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw her embarrassed appearance, thinking that she didn't look at her usual big grin, but she was a shy girl; As long as you are willing to eat, why not if I feed you?

A beautiful smile suddenly bloomed on Bao Xiaodie's face, like a bud blooming, bright and dazzling.

Feng Tianyu thought to himself, this girl is a weird elf, she really can't do anything about you. He spoons rice and feeds Fluttershy one bite at a time, patiently as he did when she was a child; Fluttershy, as she eats, feels like she's back to her childhood, to the childhood she was protected and loved by her brother, and ripples of happiness ripple through her heart.

It's a very heartwarming picture!

She ended up eating a big bowl of rice and many dishes, and she thought the meal was so delicious!

Fluttershy's meal is small, Feng Tianyu has known for a long time, usually she eats a small bowl, but today she can eat so much, this is the first time he has seen it, he feels very strange, what is this girl thinking in her heart?

They turned off the lights in the dining room, walked out of the door, and locked the door.

The cold wind is fierce, but it can't freeze people's enthusiasm for setting off fireworks.

"Brother, look!" Bao Xiaodie bumped Feng Tianyu with her elbow and directed him in one direction with her hand.

Feng Tianyu turned his head to take a look, only to see that five hundred meters away, colorful ceremonial flowers rose one after another, "bang, bang, bang" exploded, and the gorgeous flames of light were sprinkled on the earth, which was really pleasing to the eye and beautiful.

"Let's buy a few flowers and put them home." Feng Tianyu said.

Bao Xiaodie said, "Okay. ”

Feng Tianyu saw that the door of a shop on the side of the road was open, and a few children were happily setting off fireworks on the cement dam at the entrance of the store.

Feng Tianyu buys four fireworks, then stops a taxi on the side of the road with Fluttershy, and they prepare to ride back. If you don't gamble on the car, it will take about ten minutes to get to where they live.

Unexpectedly, there was a traffic jam on the way, because there was a traffic accident ahead, and several police officers were dealing with the scene. The taxi driver saw that he could not move forward or retreat, so he scolded, obviously the traffic accident affected him to solicit customers and business, he scolded for a while, and saw that the road was not yet open, so he opened the car door and went out to see what was going on.

Feng Tianyu and Bao Xiaodie seemed quieter, because they were not in a hurry to go back.

Bao Xiaodie leaned back in her seat, feeling very tired and sleepy like a tidal wave coming at her, and before she knew it, she fell asleep, her head leaning on Feng Tianyu's shoulder, like a lazy kitten, snoring slightly.

He didn't move his body, he didn't disturb her sleep, he just let her really lean on his shoulder, even if his shoulder hurt, he wouldn't move.

There was a fishy smell from her, and he knew that it was the smell she left behind when she slaughtered the fish, but instead of disgusting the smell of her, a tide of relief welled up in his heart.

He secretly decides that when he earns money, he will give more to Fluttershy, that he will never let his sister suffer, and that he will even buy her beautiful furniture as a gift when she gets married.

They waited twenty minutes before the taxi restarted.

When they got home, it was already eleven o'clock, turned on the TV, the gala was still going on, on the screen, a pair of young cross talk actors were performing the festival to their heart's content, and the audience responded with warm applause.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, they went outside with fireworks and prepared to set off.

Now is the time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

At this time, the sound of beeping firecrackers sounded everywhere on the earth, like a storm crashing on the shore; Colorful fireworks also appeared in the gloomy sky, like a goddess scattering flowers.

The earth seemed to tremble slightly, and people's moods trembled slightly. Because fireworks not only create a festive and lively atmosphere, but also convey people's good expectations for the future!

Tianyu's expectation is that business will be more prosperous in the coming year, earn more tickets, and make material life more abundant; Fluttershy's hopes are not only for a thriving business, but also for her to fall in love with Tianyu and eventually become a happy couple.
