"Uncle, this is Luo Jiayuan, remember?" Su Wan was particularly enthusiastic and pulled Luo Yuan to chat with his uncle.
Because my uncle lived under loud noise all year round, he developed the habit of speaking very loudly. As soon as Su Wan talked to him, she naturally roared in her voice.
"Ah Yuan, it's all so tall, hey, they've all changed, handsome guy, have you found a partner?"
"Uncle, why do you always like to ask this kind of question?" Su Wan walked over to help him shake the popping machine, but after only a few shakes, he was bored, shook his hand, got up and massaged his uncle's back, and coaxed the old man to obey.
"Hey, little girl, young man, don't ask this question, we are at your age, children are born, how can we be like you, still studying......"
"Uncle, why don't you talk about this." As soon as Su Wan saw that his uncle was about to lift the veil of the past, he quickly interrupted him, otherwise he would have to talk endlessly. "I heard that Brother Qiang recently gave birth to a big fat boy?" Brother Qiang is the grandson of his uncle, and Su Wan only heard it when he came back and listened to his grandmother's chatter.
"That's right, I gave birth to a big fat boy, and I'll be a great-grandfather." When he talked about his little fat man, his face bloomed.
When the time came, it was about to start ringing, Su Wan hid far away, covering her ears with her hands, clearly afraid of the loud noise, but she had a lot of fun.
Luo Yuan walked over, pulled her hand down, and wrapped her ears tightly with his own hands. And Su Wan's two hands can be carnival everywhere.
Luo Yuan couldn't figure out why she liked this kind of activity, for example, she also liked to set off firecrackers, but she didn't dare to get close when she lit it, and when she got close, she ran away before she had time to ignite it, and she was obviously afraid to death, but she still had a good time.
The first round ended, and the second round started again, Su Wan staggered over again, but her uncle handed her some popcorn dregs, and she then ate it very deliciously, and asked him if he wanted it.
Luo Yuan took a few from her hand and chewed them, they did taste good.
Luo Yuan still clearly remembers the first time he came to see her to make popcorn, he looked at her and was happy, thinking that she liked to eat this very much, so he immediately ran back and brought a large bucket of corn over and popped it for her, but she shook her head and said no.
He asked her, "Don't you like to eat?" ”
She said, "I just like the last bit of dregs, it's sweet." ”
So much so that every time he ate popcorn, he could think about eating the situation when she said this, which was a kind of smug pride, and a little bit of girlish shyness.
And he also ate a lot of popcorn in the big city after that, but he no longer had the original taste.
Many children came one after another, some of them were not afraid of things, so they circled around their uncle, even if they didn't go away when it sounded, but Su Wan still ran away like a child, covering her ears, waiting for the sound to end.
Luo Yuan didn't know why she was keen on such activities, repeating a single thing, accompanying the elderly and children to talk and laugh, talking and laughing about some inconsequential things, but she could always smile like a flower.
Later, Luo Yuan stopped helping her cover her ears, because he found that it was a kind of fun for her, a kind of happiness immersed in her own world, and he just stood quietly and watched, sometimes moving like a rabbit, sometimes quiet like a virgin, but the smile on her face never dissipated.
This is the last round of the night, and then everyone should go home for dinner, keep the New Year, collect the New Year's money, put flowers, and welcome the new year.
It was dark early in winter, and my uncle was ready to aim the long bamboo basket at the bursting machine, and only the last step was left, and he completed his last project of the year.
This time, Su Wan didn't run away, nor did she cover her ears, she stood quietly behind her uncle, smiling quietly, Luo Yuan looked at it from her own angle, and just saw Su Wan's side face.
The uncle fired the last shot, the sound of firecrackers and popcorn blended perfectly, and the little starlight that erupted from the stove shone on her face, and at that moment, she was so beautiful and quiet, holy and inviolable.
"I love you." Luo Yuan raised his lips lightly, such three words, he only dared to say them in such an environment.
The happiness on Su Wan's face reflects the sadness and helplessness on Luo Yuan's face, constituting a poignant and soft picture of the last scene in 08.
This scene, recalled many years later, is still so clear and timeless.
But he, Luo Yuan, knew that from the moment he knew the truth, he was destined to have nothing to do with her.
Therefore, he gave her three wishes and let her choose, no matter what kind of wish it was, he would accompany her and try his best to fulfill it with her, even if it was to betray himself and his family, he was willing.
It's just that the first wish has already disappointed him.

After eating the reunion dinner, you have to keep the New Year, the Su family is a family, and no one can break the rules of the older generation.
Roasting around the fireplace, looking at the raging fire burning at the roots of the big tree, Su Wan suddenly felt like a moth to a fire, knowing that there were some things that could not be done, but she still missed it very much.
"Wanwan, what's the matter, I can't keep my soul." The Su family's grandmother had sharp eyes, and she could see her absence at a glance.
"Did you catch a cold? It's like playing crazy out there on this frozen day. Li took her hand and put it in the palm of her hand and poked it, poked it, and it was hot.
"Mom, I didn't even go skating with them, I saw that they all went skating in the river." Huahua is the little girl next door, and she is in no shape all day long, so she knows that she is running here and there with a large group of boys, and Huahua's mother is so angry that she doesn't know what to say about her, as if she can scold all the words.
"What about ice skating, what if it breaks?" Grandma's face was stern.
There is a small river in front of Su's house, and the water is shallow all year round, because it is frozen this year, it is all frozen, and the children like to slip around on it.
Watching them cheering, Su Wan really wanted to go, but when she remembered her grandmother's face, she finally pinched her heart.
There is a reason why the Su family's grandmother did not allow her to get close to the water, because when she was 12 years old, she almost fell into the water and drowned, and finally rescued her, and later went to the nunnery to worship the Bodhisattva, but the Bodhisattva said that she was difficult to survive the water disaster, and tried not to go to any river, seaside or something.
No, she has never swam or fished when she has grown so big, which is really a big regret in life.
"Grandma, you're not cute at all, didn't I say I didn't go? Don't be angry, you'll get old. ”
"As far as your little girl can speak, I don't know who she looks like, she knows how to say sweet words to please people, your uncle, always nagging about you."
"I stayed with him all afternoon, and told him a lot of interesting things, and I also ate a lot of popcorn crumbs, which was sweet."
"Can you have this roasted sweet potato sweet?" Grandma didn't know when she buried a few sweet potatoes in the fire, and now she pulled it out, just right, soft, and there was a layer of golden yellow pot after peeling it off, which was fragrant and sweet.

As soon as 0:00 passed, he began to send pressure on the New Year's money, Su Wan did not refuse, no more, no less, and another sum of money, with money in his pocket, he always felt that life was full of fighting energy.
After that, I am going to send a text message to all my classmates and friends, wishing them a happy new year.
Many people started texting at midnight, and Su Wan had already received a lot of text messages, but they were all the same copy and paste, and it didn't mean much.
However, in the vast sea of text messages, she finally found an interesting point: Princess Maruko, Happy New Year.
Princess Maruko?
Who would have sent this? At first glance, the sender was an unfamiliar number.
But since it's a blessing, then accept it all.
Then edited one: His Royal Highness the lovely Maruko gave a New Year's greeting to Xqing's family, wishing him success in his studies and being happy every day. Then select Mass Messaging.
But when she looked at Luo Yuan's name, she chose and deleted, deleted and selected, and finally deleted, she wanted to tell him Happy New Year in person.
When she was still entangled, her friends had already begun to shout outside all kinds of carnivals, and she rushed out of the door, but she didn't expect to see the person she was thinking about a second ago at the door.
There was a hint of joy, but more of a sense of apprehension.
"Wanwan ......" Obviously, Luo Yuan didn't expect Su Wan to come out suddenly, he had been hesitating whether to go in, and the sudden meeting was extremely exciting.
"Ah Yuan, Happy New Year, you have to be happy, you can't be a little unhappy, you know? I'm going to keep an eye on you. Su Wan quickly retracted her affection, today she wore a pair of cute plush gloves, holding her little face and rubbing it left and right without listening, only revealing a pair of smart eyes, like the brightest star in the dark.
"Happy New Year."
Luo Yuan had been thinking about it for a long time, but when it really came to this moment, it only turned into four words, Happy New Year, the most ordinary blessing, and the most true wish in his heart, he only hoped that she would be happy in this life.
This smiling face will last forever, and this smiling eye will always be there.
