Chapter Twenty-Six: Fireworks at Fengqiao, tears in white clothes sprinkled on Longan Street
In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve.
It was just dawn every day, and Xiao Wang thought that he should have a New Year's appearance, and began to clean the house early in the morning, and asked Han Limo to write two couplets and paste them at the door.
Han Limo looked at Brother Wang, who was busy, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
It seems that there has been no one to celebrate the New Year for eight years, and I have almost forgotten what it feels like to celebrate the New Year.
"Brother Wang, I'll cook this meal tonight!" Han Limo said suddenly.
Xiao Wang, who was holding a basin of water, paused for a moment, and then asked with a smile: "Why do you want to cook?" This kind of thing can be done with me, and you don't need to do it! ”
Xiao Wang put the basin on the ground, began to wipe the table, and finally wiped the door curtain.
Han Limo squatted down, wet the rag, and helped Brother Wang wipe the tables and chairs together.
In the end, he said, "I'll come, and you'll have to rest tonight!" ”
Han Limo didn't say any reason, but Xiao Wang, who was facing away from him, nodded heavily.
On this day, these two strangers had their own feelings in their hearts and knew each other.
After the New Year's dinner, the two locked the door and left the Hehuan Inn.
The famous capital of the south of the Yangtze River, at this time, thousands of homes are brightly lit.
One of the most famous, is the fireworks show in this Chinese New Year's Eve, at this time of year, the fireworks in the city will bloom uniformly, attracting countless young men and women, the sky is full of gorgeous fireworks, below is the love of you and me, such a beautiful moment, naturally to share with the beloved.
It wasn't too late for the two to come out, and the activities on the street had just begun, and there weren't too many people.
"Sugar gourd, sell sugar gourd..."There is a middle-aged uncle carrying sugar gourd through the street to sell.
"Uncle, uncle, I want sugar gourd."
"Uncle, I want it too, I want it too."
Two small children who came out with their families ran over and cheered at the sugar gourds on the straw shelves.
"Hehe, good, delicious sugar gourds, come one by one, don't worry!"
"Now, your sugar gourd, one penny, you have to take it, don't fall to the ground!"
The middle-aged uncle said with a smile, then took off two strings of sugar gourds and handed them to the child, and the child jumped away.
The young man stared at the two children in a daze, and Brother Wang said, "What, you also like to eat things that children love to eat?" ”
"My sugar gourd, it is sour and sweet, the old people and children love to eat it, of course, young people also love to eat it!" The uncle heard Xiao Wang's words and said with a smile.
Xiao Wang didn't believe that his sugar gourd was really so delicious, and wanted to try it, "This big brother, you can bring me two strings, don't give money if it's not delicious!" ”
"Okay, you're satisfied!" The eldest brother took two strings of sugar gourds and handed them to Xiao Wang, and Xiao Wang casually gave another string of Han Limo, and the two of them ate it in front of the eldest brother.
The eldest brother still had that smiling face and asked, "How is it, I didn't lie to you, right?" ”
This sugar gourd is really delicious, Han Limo finished eating the last one, and said with a smile: "Big brother didn't deceive people, your sugar gourd is really good." ”
He took out two pennies and handed them to his eldest brother.
But he suddenly thought of something, and took out three more pennies to buy three strings, Xiao Wang saw it, and couldn't help but persuade; "Limo, no matter how delicious this sugar gourd is, you can't eat so much at once!"
Han Limo smiled lightly at Xiao Wang, and said dumb riddles: "I have my own usefulness!" ”
After buying the sugar gourd, Han Limo bought some more things, and carried a lot of things in his hands for a while, and Xiao Wang on the side was dumbfounded.
Ask him what's wrong with him today, no matter how happy he is, he can't buy so many things indiscriminately, he doesn't know how to feel sorry for money!
You said that you save so much on weekdays, and these things cost two months' monthly money.
He didn't care about Brother Wang's thoughts, and after buying the things he needed, he said to Brother Wang, who didn't know what the reason was: "Brother Wang, I have someone to see, I won't accompany you first, when the fireworks are ready to be released, we will meet on the bridge, first like this, I'll go first!" ”
"Hey, you..." Brother Wang looked at the direction in which he disappeared, and said in his heart, do you have anyone else you know in Gucheng?
Brother Wang carefully recalled who he had been in contact with, Lao Hong on Shili Street? Impossible, the old man was so slamming the door that he wouldn't even let him eat a meal, it shouldn't be him, who could it be? Could it be the little peach family? But so far, it shouldn't be.
Xiao Wang shook his head, I don't want to, let's go shopping by myself!
Xiao Wang didn't expect that the person Han Limo said was the person he said in his letter.
Half an hour later, a young man in a green shirt stood in front of the gate listening to the wind and rain in the night.
This young man was Han Limo, and at this moment he was standing where he was standing, and a memory came into his mind.
It is here that I have a place to settle down for the time being, and it is also here, there are people who are as good as my family, and the memories here are reappearing in front of my eyes one by one.
The young man was stunned, he hadn't come back for a long time, and he didn't know what they were doing in there now.
He knocked lightly on the door, and he couldn't help but look forward to it, who would be the first person to come out? Is it the eccentric A-Yuan I saw for the first time, or the unparalleled Su Fuyou, who is like a jade son?
Inside the house.
"Suzi, are you okay, if you don't come out again, the fireworks show should be over!"
A-Yuan's father and mother were still far away, so they stayed in the night to listen to the wind and rain and accompany Su Fuyou to celebrate the New Year.
Ah Yuan was thinking about tonight's fireworks show at the moment, and looked at a few fireworks that occasionally rose in the night sky outside, and saw that Su Zi hadn't come out for so long, so he was so anxious.
"It's coming, it's coming, you wait, it'll be fine in a while!" Su Fuyou in the room is worrying about which clothes to wear at the moment, Chinese New Year's Eve, how to dress better before going out.
Ah Yuan pouted and whispered, "The fireworks will be gone in a while!"
At this time, A-Yuan heard a knock on the door.
Well? Who's knocking on the door?
"Is there a guest coming?" Ah Yuan jumped happily to open the door, it must be Uncle Leng who is here, in previous years, he didn't bring less delicious things, I think he must be right!
With this careful thought, Ah Yuan took three steps and two steps, and quickly ran to open the door.
Just when Han Limo was still wondering why no one had come to open the door yet, whether the two of them had already gone out to play, the door opened gently, and a small head poked out of it, and the two collided with each other.
The scene was the same as when we first met.
Han Limo didn't speak, just looked at him and smiled.
Ah Yuan didn't recognize him for a while, he only had Uncle Leng's New Year's gift in his heart, and when he saw that it was not Uncle Leng, the full expectation in his heart went down in an instant.
Han Limo caught the change in his expression, shook the sugar gourd in his hand, and asked, "A-Yuan, don't you remember me?" ”
The eight-year-old boy, who was still leaning on the door, stared at him for a while, then shouted in surprise and pushed open the door, "Brother Limo, you're finally back!" ”
A-Yuan rushed out and hugged him, full of joy, he looked at the child and smiled happily.
"Brother Limo, where have you been? Suzi said that you have returned to your hometown and will never come back! ”
After getting along for so long, if you don't see it, you will be gone, and Ah Yuan almost cried at the moment.
Han Limo touched his head, full of guilt.
"Oh, give you your favorite sugar gourd!" Han Limo handed the sugar gourd to Ah Yuan.
Ah Yuan thanked Brother Limo, and then bit it happily.
He said: "Brother Limo, come into the house, Suzi is also inside." ”
"Good!"
Ah Yuan pulled this brother who used to be very good to him into the house.
"Suzi!" Ah Yuan ate the sugar gourd brought by Han Limo, and didn't forget to shout in the room.
"Got it, it's coming, you wait!" Su Fuyou didn't know how many clothes he had changed, and he was not satisfied with it left and right, so he changed it again.
"It's Brother Limo who came back to see us!" Ah Yuan shouted into the room.
There was no echo inside, and I saw a young man who hurriedly walked out with his clothes unbuttoned, and when he saw the young man in green shirt standing in front of him, he didn't say anything, just gave a big hug.
Words speak louder than words at this point.
"I'm finally willing to come back!" Su Fuyou patted the young man in the green shirt on the back.
"It's the New Year, come back to see you!" Han Limo said nostalgically.
Ah Yuan said: "Brother Limo, Su Zike misses you, after you left, there was no one to accompany him to practice calligraphy and Danqing, Ah Yuan thought you were really gone, hum, Su Zi lied to me and made me sad for a long time!" ”
He looked at Su Fuyou, who said it wasn't, I had also moved the pen for a long time, "When we have time, we will learn again." Su Fuyou nodded.
"Oh no, the fireworks show is about to start!" A-Yuan looked at Su Zi unhappily, meaning that if it weren't for your stinky beauty, I would have seen the fireworks a long time ago, but this kid suddenly became happy again, if he really left, he wouldn't be able to see Brother Limo.
He tugged at the corner of Han Limo's clothes and said, "Brother Limo, you can also accompany us to watch the fireworks!" ”
Han Limo touched his head and agreed, "Then let's go and see it together, it just so happens that I also asked someone to come out with me tonight!" ”
……
Tonight's Maple Bridge brings together a lot of people.
While everyone was waiting, a beam of fireworks went off, followed by thousands of beams, painting the sky as colorful and bright as day.
Han Limo looked at the blooming fireworks and said that his heart was so beautiful, and he looked left and right at the other three cheering people, and a wave of emotion rose in his heart, and he silently made a wish.
"Hurry up, make a few New Year's wishes!" Ah Yuan clasped his hands together and said something on his lips.
"You're a clever little ghost, you're really greedy!" Su Fuyou said funny.
He said so, but he closed his eyes and acquiesced to a wish.
"Brother Wang, you may be one!" Han Limo looked at Brother Wang's side face and smiled.
Xiao Wang nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I will also learn from you cultural people!" ”
Han Limo looked up at the fireworks blooming in the sky, and his heart was down-to-earth and beautiful.
On the opposite side of the river, there was also a person, like him, who made a wish to the fireworks in the sky.
I hope to see you again in this life!
"Lan'er, what wish did you make, tell your brother Fu!" A delicate voice fell into the ears of the woman who made the wish.
The fat man who spoke with a lot of flesh on his face in a fancy costume was Zhu Dafu, the son of the Gucheng Zhu family, who heard that Lan'er was going to watch the fireworks show, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, he didn't even accompany his own father, so he sneaked out and went directly to Baifu, just waiting for Bai Lan'er!
"Hmph, I want you to take care of it!" Bai Lan'er, who was still indulging in her own wishes, glanced at him.
Since Han Limo left, Bai Lan'er's good impression of Zhu Dafu in her heart has decreased a lot, if you want to say that before, it was just not annoying, but this waste fat pig not only forced away the person he liked, but also became more and more entangled with himself, and at this moment, Bai Lan'er's heart was disgusted for no reason.
She watched the fireworks in the sky and was fascinated.
Will he ever come back?
When will he come back?
Maybe not, but I'd love to see him!
The book says that if you like someone, you will definitely be able to see it again!
You are my only heartbeat, and God will not let me down.
"Lan'er, whether it's good-looking, if you think it's good-looking, I'll show it to you every day!" Zhu Dafu looked at Bai Lan'er's face in fascination, this is different from the women he has played, she is unique, pure, knowledgeable, everyone's lady, and a decent woman.
"It's not good-looking, Xiaoqing, let's go!" Bai Lan'er stepped on Zhu Dafu without exception this time, and pulled Xiaoqing away.
Zhu Dafu raised his foot and jumped three times.
"Hey, miss, why don't you watch it, look at how beautiful this fireworks are!" Xiaoqing reluctantly looked back at the fireworks in the sky.
"If you like it, just watch it with him!" Bai Lan'er let go of her hand and left by herself.
"Forget it then!" Xiaoqing trembled when he saw Zhu Dafu's pig-headed face, and now he has to watch fireworks with him, it is better to die! Xiaoqing trotted through the crowd and caught up with her own young lady.
Zhu Dafu didn't catch up, he still had that smiling face.
Lan'er, the coming day is long, I'm not in a hurry!
Zhu Dafu looked up at the blooming fireworks, squinted his eyes, and said what he could understand, "You'd better not appear in Gucheng again!" ”
Bai Lan'er is not there, Zhu Dafu naturally has no intention of appreciating this firework, no one is with him, no matter how beautiful things are, they are just things.
Inside Long An Street.
"Miss, look there, there's a crossword puzzle!"
Bai Lan'er followed the direction pointed by Xiaoqing, and sure enough, she saw a family playing word puzzles, and the two surrounded them.
Xiaoqing asked, "Boss, how do you play this?" ”
Boss: "Guess the prize, you see this, easy and difficult, there are different rewards if you guess correctly, of course, you have to pay a penny before you can play!" Otherwise, it doesn't count!"
"Come on, come on, fun anagrams, you can't miss it when you pass by!"
Bai Lan'er took out two pennies, "Boss, let's come!" ”
"Howler! Guess whatever! Tell me the answer when you've thought about it! The boss happily took the money and put it in his pocket.
The two spent a lot of money, but none of them guessed correctly, which made Bai Lan'er have to doubt, "Boss, you won't be bullying us with an unarmed girl deliberately deceiving us!" ”
Xiaoqing also echoed, "That's it, guess and guess, none of them are right, you must be cheating!" ”
"Oh, the conscience of heaven and earth, you can't blame me if you can't guess right, you see, the mystery is revealed, and everyone else guesses correctly!" The owner seemed innocent.
"This..."Looking at the mysteries that had been revealed, Bai Lan'er was speechless for a while.
"There was a son who guessed all right, you see those, he guessed it all alone!" Speaking of this boss, it was also heartache, how could there be such a powerful person, and he almost lost his money, but fortunately, he just asked for one thing, otherwise he would really lose.
In order to make the two really believe in themselves, the anagram boss pointed to the anagram hanging there, "Two young ladies, don't believe it, look at that, it's the anagram left by the boy just now!" ”
Bai Lan'er stepped forward and looked at the note.
Three words, Han Limo.
Bai Lan'er turned her head suddenly, her eyes were rosy, her eyes were rolling, and she asked, "Where did that person go just now?" ”
The boss was still crying when he saw this, a few pennies were not enough, he was a little panicked, waved his hand and said, "Girl, I don't want your money, don't cry!" ”
Xiaoqing leaned in and glanced at the anagram, Han Limo, why is it so familiar?
"Boss, where did that guy go?" Bai Lan'er continued to ask.
The boss pointed to the front, Bai Lan'er ran in the direction pointed by the boss without saying a word, and Xiaoqing reacted and ran over, leaving the boss with an inexplicable face.
But she ran all over Long An Street, but she still couldn't see him.
Ten miles of Longan Street, people come and go to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, but one woman burst into tears.
