Chapter 193: Another Year
When I drove to Xiling City, it was already half past eleven. www.biquge.info Xiling City is a well-known hometown of overseas Chinese, so the New Year's Day atmosphere here is very similar to that of foreign countries. All around is lit up.
Lai Theorem also woke up at this time, and when he saw the surroundings, he couldn't help but say, "Well, this is a bit like the New Year." β
Shi Xiaohui heard Lai's theorem say this, and asked curiously: "Xiaoli, do you celebrate New Year's Day as New Year's Day?" Is it the same as on TV? Still want to eat turkey? β
Lai theorem smiled and said, "I only ate turkey for Christmas." As for New Year's Day, it's not exactly, when the Spring Festival passes. Because we also have the Spring Festival. However, each has its own way. There are many Chinese in Singapore, but they are also heavily influenced by Western culture. Therefore, we have had major festivals in the East and the West. And it's all statutory holidays. β
Shen Xue said enviously: "Isn't that great?" How many holidays are there in this year? β
Lai Ding thought about it and said, "Well, if you count holidays like Buddha's birthday, a year will be one and a half months longer than yours." By the way, our summer vacation is a little longer than yours. That's at least two months. β
Although I am also a little envious, the most important thing at this time is to settle down. I asked, "How about now, do you want to have a late-night snack or just find a place to stay?" β
Lai theorem said: "Of course, it's a late-night snack." We can count down together. β
Seeing that everyone meant this, I drove my car to a night market and finally parked it. Lai Theorem led the crowd and began to look for a place to eat.
When I sat down and ordered, I heard a neat countdown around me: "10.9.8...", and everyone followed suit: "7.6.5.4.3.2.1!" β
βHAPPYNEWYEAR!β The blessing of faith is remembered everywhere. A few of us also congratulated each other. However, at this time, Lai's theorem, who was originally the happiest, did not speak and looked lonely, sitting there alone, staring blankly into the distance.
I know she's homesick. Just as I was about to go over and comfort her, my phone rang. At first glance, there is actually a long list of numbers? This should be a foreign number, right? I picked up the phone and said, "Hello? β
"Happy New Year, brother-in-law." A familiar voice came to mind on the other end of the line.
I smiled and said, "Brother Dingtian, don't come to harm?" β
Lai Dingtian smiled: "Well, it's good." It's just that my sister is not around, and I'm just a little lonely. β
It's not difficult for Lai Dingtian to find it, but I can't figure out why I can't just find Lai's theorem. I asked, "Brother Dingtian, are you looking for Senior Sister Lai?" You're so powerful, why don't you just call her? β
Lai Theorem hurriedly shushed and said, "Oh, don't be so loud." My sister was running away from home. My parents wouldn't let me look for her. But I was worried about her, so I had to call you. β
Well, this family is really serious. I nodded and said, "Well, Senior Sister Lai is fine." Do you want to talk to her? He's right next to me right now. We're out on a tour. However, she was not very happy to see that there were people celebrating the New Year everywhere now. I guess I'm homesick. β
Lai Dingtian was silent for a while and said, "I still don't want it." It's our house rule. After a pause, Lai Dingtian continued to ask, "Xiaoli, is she okay?" β
"And you're still calling?" I laughed. "Well, she's fine. Seriously, Senior Sister Lai is really capable of tossing. However, she didn't have much more than she could toss. β
"That's different, you're my friend. I'm looking for you to reminisce about the past. As for Xiaoli, just ask by the way. It does not violate the house rules. Lai Dingtian said seriously: "My younger sister has been used to it since she was a child, and her parents and I are very accommodating to her, so sometimes it is inevitable to be a little willful in doing things." Still, she's very kind. Please be more tolerant. β
This family really knows how to play. Think about how Rei's theorem really is. That said, I still don't think it's a good thing for Lai Theorem to stay here. I said, "Brother Dingtian, why don't you persuade Senior Sister Lai." Actually, it's not like that's it for her to be here alone, with us. You say yes, right? β
Unexpectedly, Lai Dingtian's attitude was unusually resolute: "That's not good, if you really don't like Xiaoli and abandon her, that's also her life." Whether or not she will have a good time in the future is her own business. From the day she ran away from home, it could only be like this. Even if I feel sorry for her again, I won't help her. β
"Abandoned?" I said, "Brother Dingtian, don't talk about me as if I have anything to do with Senior Sister Lai. We're just brother and sister. I took care of her because of my master's entrustment. β
"You just haven't found out you like Xiaoli yet." Lai Dingtian said: "My sister, but many people like it. Follow you, and I won't wronged you. β
I know I'm going to be unbearable if I keep saying that. I had no choice but to say, "Okay, if you're okay, I'll hang up." Senior Sister Lai is still waiting for me. β
Lai Dingtian was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Well, this time, it's almost time to sleep." Go ahead. Be kind to my sister. β
β¦ I'm not talking. Hung up directly. This Lai Dingtian is really speechless. By the time I got back to my seat, everyone was already eating. At this time, Lai Theorem did not have the loneliness just now, and he was eating and drinking with Shi Xiaohui and Shen Xue.
Da Niu asked, "Senior brother, who is looking for you?" Having said it for so long. β
I laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's just a friend." Hurry up and find a place to rest after eating. I'll have to hurry tomorrow morning. β
As soon as I picked up the chopsticks, the phone rang again. I picked up the phone impatiently and said, "I said, is there an end?" Unexpectedly, the moment I answered, the other party hung up again. I looked at the caller ID, and it was actually a series of * signs. I frowned, calling so late, and such a mysterious number? I pressed the call back button, but it didn't happen. Although I was a little confused, I had to give up.
Lai Theorem poured a full glass of beer, stood up and raised his glass and said: "Come, let's have the first glass of wine of the new year, I hope everyone will have a smooth and safe year." β
I looked at the glass in front of me, shook my head, and poured all the wine inside. After changing a cup of tea, he said, "I won't drink anymore." Drink it. β
Shi Xiaohui looked at me and said, "What are you afraid of, you are driving without a license, and you don't care about one more drunk driving." β
I blamed, "Don't be so loud, for fear that others won't know?" β
Shi Xiaohui looked around, but fortunately, everyone was drinking and celebrating, and no one paid attention to us at all. Shi Xiaohui stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
In this way, everyone except me and Erhu was drunk. Erhu also wanted to have a good drink, but I stopped him. Otherwise, how can I serve this carload of drunk people by myself? (To be continued.) )
