At eight o'clock in the evening, Mi Cai finally helped those customers take a personal photo representing the new year's new atmosphere, and we really got rid of the busyness of this day, Mi Cai clicked on the remuneration obtained from the photo shoot just now, and took 900 yuan from it, handed it to Xiao Nuo, who has been her photography assistant, and said with a slight smile: "Xiao Nuo, this is the New Year's red envelope I gave you, I hope you can realize your dreams in this city in the coming year!" I also hope that our friendship can be long and long. ”

Xiao Nuo looked at Mi Cai with some surprise, maybe she knew that Mi Cai had a prominent background, and she never thought that she would have friendship with Mi Cai, but Mi Cai did treat her sincerely, her eyes were full of emotion, so that she said to Mi Cai with some choked up: "Sister, thank you!" I am a child from the countryside, when I first came to the city, I don't know how to dress up, and I don't have a high education, because I have been a waiter, I have always been reprimanded and looked down upon by those arrogant customers, I have long been in these reprimands and social pressure, I dare not think about my dreams, thank you for telling me, little people can also have dreams, I will definitely stay in Brother Zhaoyang's coffee shop, and slowly realize my dreams! ”

Mi Cai gently put her shoulder, put the money in her pocket, and said to me: "Zhaoyang, it's almost the New Year, can you be generous and give Xiaonuo a red envelope?" ”

I smiled, in fact, after the coffee shop opened, I saw the changes in Xiao Nuo, at first she was slack, she had been contaminated with some bad habits in society, so when the coffee shop had no business, she was full of complaints and doubts, and she lacked a firm and down-to-earth heart, and Mi Cai must have had a long talk with her Therefore, now she will patiently learn to debug coffee with Qin Yan, seriously clean up the coffee shop in an orderly manner, and be optimistic about the prospects of the coffee shop. She is the hardest in her busy work, of course, I will not be stingy with a red envelope, when even counting 1800 yuan from the wallet handed it to her, and said some words of encouragement, so that she believes that next year will slowly get better.

Xiaonuo is so happy that she can't be more happy, she insists on giving me and Mi Cai a red envelope of 999 yuan, wishing us to be able to last a long time, Mi Cai's enthusiasm is difficult, but she understands that it is not easy for her to make money, just took over the 99 yuan, smiled and said to her: "Xiao Nuo, for a long time, two 9s are enough, thank you for your blessings, next year, we also have the same dreams as you, run this coffee shop, run our family." ”

"Well, Sister Mi Cai, Brother Zhaoyang, you must come on, because I have put my dream into this coffee shop, and I am waiting for you to illuminate my little dream with your big dream!"

Mi Cai smiled, but said to me: "Zhaoyang, do you hear, now Xiaonuo's speech and demeanor are very literary and artistic, I once again worship your infectious ability!" ”

I'm in a very good mood, and immediately hugged Mi Cai and Xiao Nuo in the brightness of the house, "haha" and laughing, and we are in the dream of construction, and we have enough love to look forward to bringing us more surprises next year, yes, I want to be surprised, I hope that Mi Cai, who will work steadily next year, will quietly tell me one day, she already has our child!!

I thought: then our family will have more atmosphere, and the whole family will live around this child and be full of anticipation

At 9 o'clock in the night, we finally said goodbye to this tired day and left the coffee shop, I drove with Mi Cai, and once again walked through the interweaving of the city's lights and fireworks, I was already fantasizing: I could eat some supper after returning home, and then take a hot shower, but Mi Cai seemed to have endless energy, and instead of pulling me to the mall, I used the extra money I just earned to buy New Year's gifts for my father and mother, and when I got home, it was already 11 o'clock in the middle of the night.

Open the door, the father and the mother have not rested, they sit on the sofa and wait, and the smell of supper wafting from the kitchen, makes them look so amiable, if the city itself is emotionless, but the family affection waiting in the lights of thousands of homes, but softens the whole city and these are what I have not experienced in Suzhou, so, I like to stay in which city, maybe it has nothing to do with the scenery of the city, so I prefer Xuzhou, a city where you can see coal mines and industrial construction everywhere, However, the beautiful gardens and rivers of Suzhou are always seared in my memory and corrode my mood! I really don't want to go back!

In the living room, Mi Cai and I gathered around the dining table, eating my mother's supper, while Ban Dad and Ma sat opposite us and chatted, I said to my mother: "Mom, when you and Ban Dad are free, give me the list of guests you want to invite at the wedding, and we should go and make zuò invitations!" ”

Mom replied: "The list has been prepared for a long time, let your dad give it to you tomorrow" After a pause, she said with a straight face: "Zhaoyang, you are about to marry Xiaomi, according to the rules, the woman's bride price money can't be sloppy, are you ready on your own side?" ”

I subconsciously looked at the Mi Cai around me, I understand: this traditional rule that can not be broken is the bitterness between us, because Mi Cai, who can't talk about family affection, will not be able to dispose of this bride price money, her family has always been our lingering shadow!

My mother also realized that she had made a mistake, and hurriedly explained: "The bride price must be there, but what I mean is: this bride price money can be handed over to Xiaomi for safekeeping, and then given to her family when there is a chance later" After a short silence, my mother smiled a little bitterly, and said: "As elders, we sincerely hope that there will be no infarction in your marriage, and you can live a good life in the future, and we hope that Xiaomi's mother can understand your marriage, so the bride price must be prepared for her, After all, it will be a family, and it is best to have no such barriers! ”

Mi Cai and I finally nodded together, acknowledging that my mother had handed over the bride price to her for safekeeping

After supper, Mi Cai and I went back to our own residence, after the two of us washed up, lay on the bed and talked about the trivial experiences of these days, we have some expectations, and because of this, especially me, I always feel uneasy: Yan Zhuomei gave us definitely more than just a verbal warning, if we don't have the idea of going to the United States with her, but we married in Xuzhou without authorization, it will definitely anger her, and my troubles stem from ignorance of the results of angering her, to be precise, not just troubles, It's a fear from within! Although I have only met her once, her style of doing what she says has left a deep impression in my heart!

A moment later, Mi Cai, who had done more than I had done in the day, fell asleep from extreme exertion, and I was a little worried, looking at the ceiling in the faint light of the night light, and I was still thinking about what might happen in the future

I don't know how long it took, Mi Cai, who had been asleep, woke up vaguely, and went to the bathroom in a blur, until she came back and lay down next to me, only to find that I was still awake, she brushed her messy hair, and after she woke up a little, she asked, "Did I wake you up?" ”

"No, it's me who has a little insomnia!"

Mi Cai turned sideways, she held her chin and looked at me, and asked, "Then you have something on your mind?" ”

I didn't want to infect her with this sorrow and thus affect her sleep, so I flatly denied it: "What can I do, it's just a little excited."

Mi Cai asked with concern: "Did you drink too much coffee during the day?" Try not to drink it in the future, your nerves are too sensitive to drink such irritating things. ”

I smiled and replied, "Of course I don't miss you very much, but seeing that you are asleep, I am too embarrassed to disturb you!" Pretending to squirm, he continued: "But without your cooperation, I can't do this alone, you know, we weren't together last night, and Xiao Beisheng is newlywed. Hope is starting to work in my heart again! ”

"If you want to play hooligan, just say it, can you use it to give subjective reasons and objective reasons? It seems that if I don't cooperate with you, it's a very cruel thing! ”

"I just want to be a reasonable man in front of you, besides, this is a sacred duty given to you by God, and you have no reason to refuse me!" I said and turned over and pressed her under her, but she was still full of reason at the critical moment, and took out a condom from the cabinet next to the bed in time, I am not disgusted, after all, she was unexpectedly pregnant, and she didn't want children for the time being, and the last thing that hurt was her body, and from this point of view, she is still a woman who will not be dominated by impulsive feelings, since we began to live a male and female life, even during the safe period, strict contraceptive measures will be taken, the only exception is a few days ago in Suzhou, but, The odds of a possible pregnancy that time are almost non-existent

Time passed quickly in the non-stop busyness, and soon it came to the last day of the year, that is, Chinese New Year's Eve!

On this day, Mi Cai and I got up early, started cleaning the house amid the sound of firecrackers, and posted couplets that would create a New Year's atmosphere, and at this time, there were only 16 days left before the day of our wedding, and we habitually chatted about the friends who would come to the wedding.

After chatting for a while, Mi Cai remembered something, and said to me again: "By the way, I tell you a good news that Zhang Yixi has found Mr. An in Tibet, and they are going to stay in Tibet for the New Year this year, but they will definitely not miss our wedding." ”

Suddenly hearing the news, I seemed to have been given a shot in the arm, after all, this pair of Zhang Yixi and the woman in red, along the way, is much more tortuous than me and Mi Cai, but they can still break the mirror and reunite, which gives us a lot of confidence to overcome difficulties, I smiled from the bottom of my heart, and asked Mi Cai with concern: "What about them?" Isn't it time to think about getting married after attending our wedding? ”

Mi Cai replied without selling Guan Zi at all: "You guessed it right this time, their wedding may be a few days later than ours, and you will have to take time to accompany me to their wedding!" ”

"Of course, this is a matter of courtesy!" I said yes in one bite.

Mi Cai nodded, and continued to wipe the originally bright window more brightly, and in this brightness, I finally saw some dawn about the future I am looking forward to my wedding with Mi Cai, and I am also waiting for the day when I will get together with friends who have said goodbye for a long time, such as Robben, such as CC who still has no news, maybe Yan Yan and Jian Wei, or possibly, Yan Yan came to congratulate alone, and Jian Wei has waited for the result of her parents' sentence, and then put down a qiē to go to the United States to start life again, We've finally severed our ties at this moment, and that's what I envisioned!

Happy New Year to everyone! ~
