At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xiaohe's house.

The dining table was filled with cups and plates, all of which were freshly cooked, and the rich aroma permeated the dining room and spread throughout the room.

The sound of "clanging" spatulas came from the kitchen, mixed with the sound of men laughing and laughing.

Hearing that the two were arranging themselves, Li Xiaohe didn't reply, just smiled and shook his head, and continued to take out the canned beer from the box and place it on the table one by one.

"Four happy balls." With a shout, Xu Jianjun walked out of the kitchen and put the porcelain plate in his hand on the table.

"That's it." Zhang Wenwu untied his apron, came out of the kitchen, and came to the dining table.

"You two hurry up and get in place, let's drink." Li Xiaohe stopped placing the beer, opened the liquor on the table, and poured the cup in front of the three people.

"Fragrant, very fragrant, serious things." Sniffing the liquid in the cup, Xu Jianjun raised his head, "Lao Li, you are the master, you have to make a toast." ”

In response to the word "good", Li Xiaohe picked up the wine glass, coughed twice deliberately, and changed a serious look on his face: "Dear Captain Xu and Dear President Zhang, thank you two for putting down their wives and children at home on the occasion of the Spring Festival, and specially coming to the cold house, bringing the warmth of relatives to the contemptible people." In the face of the care of the two leaders, I have nothing to repay, but to express my gratitude through this glass of thin wine. I wish the two leaders a happy New Year, good health, a happy family, happiness, and prosperity in the new year. ”

"Haha, Chief Li Daxiang is quite good at dragging words." Xu Jianjun smiled and picked up his wine glass.

Zhang Wenwu also smiled: "The township chief just has something in his belly." ”

"Smack", the sound of clinking glasses sounded, and the three of them drank it all.

Li Xiaohe hurriedly took the wine bottle and filled three glasses.

Picking up dishes, chatting, and drinking, one bottle of liquor was quickly drunk, and several glasses were poured out of the second bottle, and the three of them drank happily.

Picking up the wine glass again, Li Xiaohe burped and said: "Lao Xu, Lao Zhang, for the New Year, just because of me, you have not been able to reunite with your family, I am very moved, and I really can't bear it, thank you!" ”

Zhang Wenwu shook his arm: "Lao Li, don't talk about calves, which of us will talk to whom, just say 'thank you' away." Our wives and children are all around, that is, the two of us come out, and they are still a big family, talking and laughing, and reunited. You are here, your uncle and aunt are not here, there is only one person left, we should come over to accompany you. ”

"My daughter-in-law took the child to her mother-in-law's house, and her parents and brothers and sisters also happened to be reunited. Xu Jianjun bared his teeth, "Then again, husbands and wives usually meet, but this time they left for a while, and they met more closely." I guess as soon as I go back in the evening, my wife will make up for me as a New Year's gift. ”

"Hahaha...... No wonder your eyes are red, it turns out that you have been thinking about that in your heart. Zhang Wenwu "hehe", "There are some things you can think about, why don't you say it, you have to take care of other people's emotions." ”

"Yes, Lao Zhang reminded me right. Lao Li, if you don't think it through, don't be surprised. Xu Jianjun said, deliberately lowering his voice, looking very mysterious, "Lao Li, it's a big holiday, you should also eat some meat, I guess the police should patrol tonight." ”

Zhang Wenwu immediately pointed at Xu Jianjun: "Old Xu, as a people's policeman, don't you teach people to learn badly?" It's too bad to lose your identity, and it's also suspected of disrupting social order, which is a law enforcement offense. ”

"That's a bad thing, Lao Zhang, have you forgotten the sentence 'A full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry'? You turn off the lights all day long when it's dark, and you and your wife are chic, and Lao Li has to stay up every day? People also have physiological needs, and they must still be very strong. Xu Jianjun deliberately stiffened his face, "People like him are like dry firewood now, just a little spark." No, he is equivalent to a leaking gas canister, maybe the spark factor generated by closing the doors and windows can make him explode, which is the unstable factor. For the sake of social tranquility, in order to prevent good women from being blown up by gas canisters, it is better to solve the problem by means of relief, which is more conducive to social stability. ”

"Go and go, don't make fun of me. Come on, come on, drink. As he spoke, Li Xiaohe stretched out his cup and went to find the other two cups to touch.

"Look, Lao Xu, let you open the gas valve, this gas tank will explode at any time." Laughing, Zhang Wenwu raised his glass and touched Li Xiaohe.

"Lao Li, remember, reason, you have to learn to restrain your desires." Xu Jianjun also stretched out his wine glass.

"Drink yours." Li Xiaohe touched the cup with the two and drank the wine in the cup.

The two of them giggled and drank it all.

Xu Jianjun put down his wine glass and looked puzzled: "Lao Li, I've always wondered, you have been consuming it alone for many years, how to solve that matter in normal times, is it good to have a fixed phase, or go out ......"

"Lao Xu, why do you keep talking about that, you don't have anything serious? It's getting dark, so you might as well go back and get your gifts, and be careful that someone else takes them. Li Xiaohe teased the other party.

"I'm not afraid, I'm relieved of my wife, it's very safe." Xu Jianjun is very complacent.

Zhang Wenwu answered: "If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, and some men are not insured." ”

Li Xiaohe interrupted the conversation between the two: "Drink, drink, go back quickly after drinking." If you celebrate the New Year, you have to stay with your family for a while. If taking care of me affects your reunion, if your sisters-in-law are unhappy, it will be my sin, and I will not bear it in my heart. ”

"Okay, drink." Xu Jianjun and Zhang Wenwu responded, and the three of them clinked glasses and drank.

After a wine hiccup, Xu Jianjun said: "Lao Li, if you don't bear it and don't want us to accompany you for the New Year, you can quickly solve your own affairs." ”

Li Xiaohe sighed lightly: "Hey, do you think that if you catch a little pig, you can catch one?" Even if you catch the piglets, you have to see if you are willing to eat. ”

"Although you are smaller than the two of us, you are not small, if in a few years, there are enough four, then there will be no suitable one." Xu Jianjun said again, "You have to pay attention to it." ”

"Value, value, come, drink." Li Xiaohe picked up his wine glass and diverted the topic.

"Don't mention it for the New Year, so as not to make Lao Li more lonely. Let's say something happy and send some blessings. Zhang Wenwu also raised his glass, "I wish you all good health and all your wishes come true." ”

Xu Jianjun raised his glass and blessed: "I wish the whole family happiness and an early birth of a noble son." ”

Zhang Wenwu looked at Li Xiaohe and smiled.

Immediately, all three laughed.

I drank until more than seven o'clock, drank two bottles of liquor, and drank more than ten cans of beer. Under Li Xiaohe's repeated urging, Xu Jianjun and Zhang Wenwu left with each other, and the noisy room just now quieted down.

Being in an empty room, looking at the messy cups and plates on the table, and smelling the smell of wine and food in the air, a sense of loneliness arises. But Li Xiaohe shook his head stubbornly and spit out four words: "I'm not alone." ”

When I turned on the TV, I saw some blurry images and some muffled sounds. Looking at it, Li Xiaohe slowly closed his eyes.

……

"Ding Woo", "Ding Woo", a tight bell kept ringing, and finally woke up Li Xiaohe who was leaning on the sofa.

When I opened my eyes, rubbed my hands on my face, and rubbed my eye sockets, the scene in front of me became clearer.

"Ding Bang", hearing this voice again, Li Xiaohe realized that he was calling.

Picking up the mobile phone and seeing the caller ID on it, Li Xiaohe shook his head and said in a relaxed tone as much as possible: "Mom, finished eating?" ”

"Xiaohe, are you confused, it's past ten o'clock, can you still skip eating?" The voice in the mobile phone seemed to be reproachful, but with a strong concern, "I called several times, and I started calling at nine o'clock, and you didn't answer, did you drink too much?" ”

"How can you drink too much? I drank a little, so that Jianjun and Wenwu would go back early, and the family would also celebrate the New Year. I had been watching the party just now, the sound of the TV was turned on, and the phone was under the pillow in the bedroom, and I didn't hear it. Li Xiaohe lied so that his mother would not be worried.

"It's good if it's not much, it's good if it's not much, you're spending the New Year alone, and my mother really doesn't feel at ease, if only someone took care of it." The phone paused for a moment, and then her mother's voice rang again, "Xiaohe, Lisa gave us a New Year's greeting just now, and she said that she misses us a lot." ”

Li Xiaohe snorted: "Shen Lisha, does she miss you?" She doesn't tell the truth, don't listen to her. ”

"Listening to what she just said, she has changed a lot, and she is more sensible than before. You don't think about it? The voice in the mobile phone was full of expectation, "It's not easy for so many years, it's not easy, and it's not easy for her." ”

"Mom, Xiaomiao, what about them watching TV?" Li Xiaohe answered the question.

"I wanted to talk to you, but you always didn't answer, just now the neighbor asked them to play cards, and the two of them went." Speaking of which, the mother brought up the name again, "Lisa is still a good person." ”

Li Xiaohe said: "Mom, don't talk about her for the New Year." ”

"Don't talk about her, okay, don't talk about her, hey, take care of yourself, I'm fine with your dad, don't worry about it." At this point, the mother's voice came to an abrupt end.

Holding the mobile phone, Li Xiaohe's mind was rolling, and some past events came to his heart, making him even more troubled.

"Ding Dong", the short bell sounded.

picked up the phone, and two lines of text popped up on it: "On this day of family reunion, I string my blessings and thoughts into a string of beads, put them into the most dazzling meteor, and quickly deliver them to your heart." ”

After reading this text message, Li Xiaohe found that there were many unread text messages on his mobile phone, and many were sent to this number alone. Looking through the text messages, he noticed that they were not the same, but they seemed to be exactly the same.

"Ding Dong", after a short ring, a sentence popped up on the screen of the mobile phone: "Stand in front of the window immediately, my blessing is coming." ”

Without hesitation this time, Li Xiaohe quickly got up and walked quickly to the window.

A meteor dragged its long tail across the sky.

Looking at the scene outside, Li Xiaohe blurted out: "I'm not alone. ”
