Chapter 46: New Year's Greetings
The New Year's bell rang with the fireworks, Su Yang stood on the street and watched the fireworks in the sky, there was still the laughter of children in his ears, some of the older people had already slept at this point, and the vast majority of young people were still awake, watching the Spring Festival Gala in front of the TV, sitting together and chatting, Su Yongguang and several uncles were around the table playing mahjong, and the two aunts and aunts were sitting on the side, watching the situation, they would not stop until the middle of the night.
Su Yang was not sleepy at all at this time, and instinctively wanted to send New Year blessings, but was embarrassed to find that it was not the era when everyone had a mobile phone, but before the New Year's bell rang, he was ready to send New Year blessings, but it was just for a specific person. Su Yang deliberately asked Xiao Ling to go to Tang Yue, so as to make sure that she hadn't slept in the early hours of the morning, as a condition for help, Su Yang needed to invite Xiao Ling to have a meal, which was naturally not difficult.
There is a small open space on the right side of Tang Yue's house, which is only made of mud and sand and stones, not cement. Su Yang once bought all the fireworks sticks from a nearby shop, and then spent nearly half an hour in the open space to form New Year's greetings with fireworks sticks in the open space in the crowd of several children. Because Happy New Year in Chinese is too difficult to arrange and difficult to achieve the desired effect, Su Yang used fireworks sticks to arrange the three words "Happynewyear", and then sent a few children some fireworks for them to help light them.
Xiao Ling, who was in Tang Yue's room, looked under the windowsill from time to time, and then endured a little sleepiness and chatted with Tang Yue to say some interesting things, at this point Tang Yue's parents were already asleep, and Xiao Ling was so abnormal, Tang Yue felt very strange, and wanted to walk over to the windowsill, but was blocked by Xiao Ling pulling the curtain, and then said in Tang Yue's suspicious gaze: "Wait a minute!" ”
"What? Is there anything down there, and why don't you let me see it? Tang Yue wondered.
Xiao Ling looked back at the open space below, at this time Su Yang had already lit all the fireworks sticks, and was standing behind the arranged blessings and looking upstairs, Xiao Ling saw this and moved her seat, letting Tang Yue walk to the windowsill as she wished, and then she saw the fireworks full of eyes, arranged into a blessing word, so many fireworks sticks almost lit up the open space and the wall under the windowsill of Tang Yue's house, and many people who saw this scene surrounded the open space.
Tang Yue naturally found Su Yang standing below, was slightly stunned, and immediately turned around and left the windowsill, Xiao Ling saw this and said, "Yueyue? You're just leaving? ”
Tang Yue didn't answer, and walked out of the room directly down the stairs, and Su Yang, who was standing in the open space, was fanning the fireworks at this time, and the white smoke that was floating from the fireworks, when he raised his head, he found that Tang Yue was not in front of the windowsill, not even Xiao Ling, and was puzzled, the two walked out of the house, Tang Yue came to Su Yang and looked at the half-burned fireworks stick on the ground, "I wonder that Xiao Ling didn't go back to sleep even though he was sleepy, it turned out that he was bought by you!" ”
Su Yang smiled and said, "How about it, it's beautiful, it's just a little choking, cough cough!" ”
"Thank you and Happy New Year to you!" Tang Yue nodded and said.
Su Yang's move is to imitate the way that many boys in later generations used to pursue girls, but the things arranged are different, and the meaning of the expression is also different, Su Yang didn't think about putting an ILOVEYOU, but it is obviously not appropriate to do so, so it is still a decent New Year's greeting, in short, it means that it has been achieved, if you don't have the heart, how can you send a blessing so much?
Obviously, Tang Yue didn't react too excitedly, but Su Yang's move still gave a big surprise, even if Tang Yue kept smiling, his heart was not calm, but he was embarrassed to show it because of the presence of others.
"Happy New Year, Xiao Ling, this is also for you!" Su Yang said to Xiao Ling, who was standing beside Tang Yue and watching the fireworks gradually burn out.
Xiao Ling was slightly stunned, then came back to his senses and said with a smile: "A meal, don't think about it, the help is over, I should go back to sleep, I'm sleepy!" ”
"Do you want me to send you back? It's so late and it's pretty dark outside! Su Yang said.
Xiao Ling waved his hand when he heard this, "My family lives not far away, just go back by yourself, Yueyue, then I'll go home first, and I'll come back to you tomorrow!" ”
"Yes!"
Xiao Ling left Tang Yue's house, and the children around the clearing also dispersed, Su Yang glanced at the pile of burned fireworks sticks on the ground, and said with a chuckle: "The New Year's blessings have also been delivered, so I won't disturb your rest, Tang Yue, you can go to sleep too!" ”
Tang Yue said: "I'll help you collect it together!" ”
Originally, it didn't take too many fireworks sticks to compose the English New Year's greetings, but for the sake of visual effect, Su Yang composed each letter of three or four fireworks sticks in parallel, so that all the fireworks sticks bought were used up to form a blessing, Su Yang and Tang Yue bent down together to put away the fireworks poles with the remaining wires, and then threw them into the nearby garbage basket.
"I should have cleaned up these myself, but I still have to trouble you, thank you! It's not early, I should go home, if I can't get up on the first day of the new year, the family will definitely be chattering! Su Yang chuckled.
Tang Yue also felt very sleepy, usually went to bed before ten o'clock, today because it was Chinese New Year's Eve, I slept late, and Su Yang said goodnight, and then returned to the upstairs bedroom, looked at the windowsill, but saw that Su Yang did not leave, at this time was putting away the paper bags that Fang Cai scattered, Tang Yue saw this and said on the windowsill: "Su Yang!" ”
"Huh?"
Su Yang looked up, Tang Yue said: "Thank you for your New Year's wishes, I like it very much, it's cold at night, go back early!" ”
"Well, I'll take these, otherwise I will be found tomorrow, and I should say which child is so disagreeable, garbage littered everywhere......" Su Yang chuckled, raised his head, and could see Tang Yue's pretty face under the light, a little stunned, that with a slightly shy smile, it was the first time since I knew Su Yang and Tang Yue.
There are some girls who can always maintain their personality and habits, even if there is a slight change in their hearts, they can still stay the same. Although Su Yang expected Tang Yue to be moved by her actions, she did not feel disappointed at all about Tang Yue's reaction, maybe she didn't show much emotional fluctuations, but Su Yang could clearly feel the change in Tang Yue's attitude, and this change could be clearly different from usual, which was enough to make Su Yang very happy.
Su Yang almost came home with a smile all the way, but no one noticed his stupid appearance at this point, washed up and turned off the lights and went to bed, although he was a little sleepy, he lay on the bed for a long time because of the fluctuation of his mood.
At the same time, Su Yang was not the only one who did not fall asleep, in the pink room, Tang Yue was holding a pillow sideways, covering the corners of his mouth with Kitty's futon printed on it, closing his eyes, he could vaguely see the faint redness on his pretty face, but it was a pity that Su Yang did not see this scene, otherwise he was afraid that he would be in a state of insomnia all night.
The morning of the first day of the new year was exceptionally sunny, and the sound of firecrackers in the early morning pulled Su Yang out of his dream, rubbed his still heavy eyelids, turned over and went to sleep, last night until Su Yongguang came home at three o'clock before he fell asleep, and now it is only early six o'clock, and the sleep time is not enough.
Su Yongguang obviously didn't get up either, and now there are no old people at home, otherwise he would definitely cook dumplings at this time, and then wake up the people who are still asleep...
After nine o'clock, Su Yang, who was lying on the bed, got up to wash, and then saw the note left by Su Yongguang on the table, asking Su Yang to go to his aunt's house for dinner at noon. In these days every year, Su Yongguang will get together with relatives and friends to play mahjong, day and night, Su Yang does not understand the rules of mahjong cards, so he doesn't understand why he is still interested in playing mahjong for so long.
There was still a lot of time before lunch, Su Yang was not in a hurry to go to his aunt's house, spent two hours writing a novel, and then went to his aunt's house, because he knew that after eating, several elders were going to start playing mahjong again, and the juniors went out to play, but unfortunately Yan Township was only a town after all, and there were no facilities worth entertaining.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they generally don't go out, the family gets together to chat, and they will go to visit relatives and friends from the second day of the Lunar New Year, because Su Yang's two aunts are in Yan Township, and the New Year is together, even if the brothers and sisters don't visit each other anymore, Su Yongguang took Su Yang to a few friends' houses to pay New Year's greetings, and Su Yang got a lot of New Year's money when he left, and now Su Yongguang didn't say anything about keeping it for his son, and let Su Yang use the New Year's money he got by himself, as long as it wasn't spent indiscriminately, Su Yongguang wouldn't ask.
The family is jubilant for the New Year, but Su Yang will not forget his mother Huang Jing, who has been alone every New Year since she divorced Su Yongguang. On the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Su Yang went to Yongcheng, bought a lot of vegetables, fish, meat and seafood to Huang Jing, took the initiative to take over the cooking work at noon, let Huang Jing watch TV and rest, cook by himself, a table full of dishes, meat and vegetable soup are all available, Huang Jing is the first time to see her son make so many dishes, and each dish looks very good, after tasting the taste, I was even more surprised, the original little lonely New Year, but also after the son carefully made a table of meals, there are more New Year's flavors.
"Xiaoyang, do you still submit articles to the newspaper? Mom hasn't seen your article in the newspaper in a while! Huang Jing said while eating dumplings.
Su Yang wiped his hands, sandwiched a crab for Huang Jing, and said, "I haven't submitted a manuscript for a while!" ”
"Why don't you vote?" Huang Jing wondered.
"Mom, how can I say that I am only sixteen years old after my birthday, how can there be so much ink in my stomach, and I have no stock after submitting more than a dozen manuscripts!" Su Yang chuckled.
Huang Jing didn't doubt it when she heard this, and said: "Then you can write something else, you don't have to vote for the Economic Times, other newspapers can also contribute, writing more can improve your writing ability, and the manuscript fee accumulated for a long time will not be less!" ”
"Actually, the main reason for not submitting is not this!" Su Yang said, "Son, I am writing a novel now, and the number of words is hundreds of thousands, how can I have time to submit!" ”
