Chapter Eighty-Eight: Not Alone This Year
It seems to indicate that 97 is an exciting year, and the snow on Chinese New Year's Eve is getting heavier and heavier.
When Di Yun rode back to the yard on his motorcycle, his face was frozen stiff and stiff, and the scarf covering his face was covered with a layer of fine Xiaoice shavings that had condensed after the snow had melted, hard.
He put the motorcycle under the eaves, took off his scarf and shook it, and flicked it on his head by the way.
The door of the middle room opened, and Liu Qiang appeared at the door, and said with a smile: "Hey, the snow is quite big, send Xiao Xu back?" ”
"Well, send it back."
"Hurry into the house." Liu Qiang beckoned.
"Uh...... No, no, no. I'll ...... later."
"Nothing can't be done." Liu Qiang walked over and pulled him and said, "Chinese New Year's Eve eats together, and it is lively when there are more people." Hurry over. ”
In the middle room, Old Man Liu was watching the Spring Festival Gala, and it was Feng Gong and the cow herd's sketch "The World of Two People" that was playing, and his beard trembled with joy.
There was also a woman in her thirties sitting next to her, with a special temperament in an official position, smiling not far or close, which made people feel like a spring breeze and a little awe at the same time.
Liu Qiang introduced: "This is my sister Liu Xin. ”
For Old Man Liu's daughter, Di Yun has always only heard of her name but not seen her, and feels very mysterious, but this time she finally saw her true face. said hello: "Hello Sister Xin." ”
"Hello, you're Xiaoyun, right?" Liu Xin said, "Thank you for sending my mother to the hospital at that time. ”
Di Yun felt very embarrassed, it was just a trivial matter, but after the son thanked him, his daughter thanked him again, and hurriedly said: "Don't thank you anymore, if you really want to talk about it, I have to thank Teacher Liu for letting me live here." ”
"Hey! Was this kicked out by the mother-in-law? After the sketch was finished, there was a song, and Old Man Liu was not interested in this, so he turned his head to see the snow on his head melting, and said gloatingly.
If Di Yun usually squeezed out two witty words, but now there are some things that are difficult to say in front of other people's daughters and sons, and it seems that they are neither big nor small when they say it. I touched my nose and didn't open my mouth.
"Dad, what do you say?" Liu Xin looked at Di Yun a little embarrassed, and said to Old Man Liu.
Old man Liu glanced at her and said, "That's how I talk to this kid at home, you don't bring your work style to the house." I can't get used to it, go into the kitchen and help your mom! ”
This made Liu Xin embarrassed, and he didn't stay here when he went into the kitchen.
Liu Qiang smiled and said, "It just so happens that there are four people now, and you can get together a table of mahjong." Come on, let's play mahjong while watching the Spring Festival Gala. ”
The four of them put together a table of mahjong, and did not clean up the table until the old lady called for dinner.
During the meal, Di Yun's pager received three messages.
One is Xiao Tiantian's: "Happy New Year Uncle Di, please call back when you receive it." ”
The second one is left by Wang Lun: Happy New Year for eight catties. There is also a phone number left behind.
The third article only has four words of Happy New Year, and the payment is Zhouxun.
After eating, he cleaned up the table, Di Yun didn't go to the mahjong table anymore to make fun, gave up his seat to Teacher Liu, and went back to the phone by himself.
The first one called Tian Tian's little girl.
"This is Mr. Xia's home, who are you?"
Hearing the little girl's serious voice, Di Yun wanted to laugh and said, "Guess who I am?" ”
"Uncle Di!" The little girl exclaimed in surprise, "Happy New Year, Uncle Di, all the best!" ”
"Happy New Year to Tian Tian! I wish you to grow up quickly, well, the longer you grow, the smarter you get, the more beautiful you get. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Di." The little girl said sweetly. Then he asked, "Uncle Di, are you home?" ”
"Hmm." Di Yun lied to her against his will, mainly because he was afraid that she would let her go to her house at this time. ”
"Then when are you going back to the capital?"
"I'll be back after the New Year."
"You didn't even give me the New Year's money." The little girl said a little unhappily, "Little Steel Cannon received four red envelopes, his parents, and grandparents gave them, and I only received them from my mother and Aunt Ye." ”
Di Yun didn't ask what the hell the little steel cannon was, nor did he ask who Aunt Ye was, it must be two long stories. said with a smile: "When we meet next time, Uncle Di will make up for you, a big red envelope." ”
"Hmm!"
After talking to Britney, he then called Wang Lun again.
"Eight pounds?"
"Well, it's me." Di Yun heard the noise of people over there, and asked, "Where are you, it seems that there are still a lot of people?" ”
"I'm here in the studio, playing with a bunch of friends who haven't been back in years. Fraud Jinhua, do you want to come over and play a few games? ”
"Heh, it's snowing too much outside, so I won't go there. You take it easy, don't work hard to earn half a year's money, and suddenly return to the pre-liberation period. ”
"It's okay, it's okay. Most of the money I made was brought home by Dasha, and I didn't have much left on me, and besides, I was just having fun here, and I couldn't win much if I won or lost. ”
"You just have to know the bottom of your heart." After a few more conversations with him, I hung up.
When it came to the third call, Di Yun was a little hesitant, and after thinking about it, he dialed it.
"Hello, who?" The sound of the TV was gradually reduced, and the hoarse voice was heard clearly.
"I'm Diyun."
"Hmm."
"Uh... Happy New Year. ”
"Hmm."
"Watching the Spring Festival Gala?"
"Hmm."
“……”
"I heard you didn't go back?" The other side finally took the initiative to ask.
Listen to whom? Di Yun scratched his head and said, "Well, there was a play a few years ago, and I can't go back in time, so I can only stay here." ”
The other side was silent, and just when Di Yun thought that the phone had been hung up, another voice came out: "I'm also here in the capital." ”
"You didn't go back either?"
"Hmm."
Di Yun didn't know what to say next.
"Have you eaten it?" The other party asked.
"Just ate it." Di Yun said.
"Oh." This time it finally changed to a different tone.
Then there was a long silence. Ten seconds later, Di Yun heard a blind tone, and the phone had been hung up.
Di Yundan put down the phone in pain, he knew that this was the case, the two of them had never talked and laughed together, and they had always been like constipation.
After making the call, Di Yun said goodbye to Old Man Liu's family and left the house.
The snow continued to fall, and a ten-centimeter-thick layer was spread on the ground, towards a white blanket.
He didn't go back to his room, he couldn't sleep when he went in at this time, he didn't have anything to do, he was definitely bored. With fate, I went out of the yard and strolled casually in the snowy night.
The heavy snow covered the city with a blanket and quieted it, and it was probably only tonight that the city would wash away the hustle and bustle, showing such a quiet side. It's so quiet that you can hear the creaking of your feet on the snow.
Di Yun's heart also rarely quieted down, although it was a little cold by the wind, but he enjoyed this kind of spiritual calmness and slowness.
I walked for more than half an hour, and then slowly returned along the same path.
A figure appeared halfway through, looking at him with a smile on his face, his face pale from the cold.
Di Yun walked over and unbuttoned his coat and wrapped her in it, holding her tightly in his arms.
Lao Xu walked his hands around under his squeaky nest and hugged his back, and the whole person was surrounded by warmth.
When her face became rosy, Di Yun asked softly, "Didn't you say that you would come over tomorrow, why did you come here?" ”
"Well, I'll be with you." Lao Xu raised his head, put his face on his face and said.
"Auntie agreed?"
"I didn't let people know, after eating, they said they were tired and went into the room to rest, and then slipped out while they weren't looking."
"You're not afraid that your mother will scold you when you go back tomorrow?"
"Don't be afraid."
Di Yun couldn't help but bow his head and kiss it, even if the wind and snow hit the faces of the two, it couldn't extinguish the heat between his lips and tongues.
For a long time, the lips parted. Di Yun asked, "How did you get here?" Still have a car here? ”
"Of course I did, but it was hard to wait, I waited for half an hour at the intersection to get one, and I paid double the price of the car before agreeing to pull me over."
Di Yun kissed her on the forehead again and asked, "Then how do you know that I am coming this way?" ”
"There are footprints on the snow, there are such footprints when you come out of the yard, and there is fate, I know that you must not have gone far."
Di Yun looked at the ground, there were only three footprints on the silver street, one was his own, one was his girlfriend's, and one was fate.
"Let's set off firecrackers together at midnight."
"I didn't prepare this thing, and I guess I won't have anywhere to buy it now."
"I brought it."
Di Yun realized that she was still carrying a bag in her hand, which contained a lot of miscellaneous things, including a thunderbolt with the thickness of a child's arm, and a slender sky-piercing monkey. "It seems that firecrackers are forbidden in the capital."
"Prohibition is prohibition, but everyone fires guns on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and they can still pursue it one by one."
"Alright, let's go back to the courtyard first." Di Yun said.
Back in the yard, the two of them were very enthusiastic to build a snowman in front of the courtyard gate, and the snow that had just fallen naturally did not condense together, and finally just pushed a snow lump loosely.
After the New Year's bell rang, the two thunderbolts were inserted into the snow lumps, and the two of them lit them at the same time, and then ran away.
Boom! I can't tell if it's one or two. The snowdrifts were blown up and flew in all directions, so frightened Liu Qiang, who was carrying firecrackers and preparing to set off at the door, that he almost sat on the ground, and looked at the two people standing in the distance clapping their hands in celebration.
I don't know if I will complain in my heart: these two **.
