Chapter Twenty-Nine: Chinese New Year
"Runrun, hurry up, my aunt and Haohao are here."
Mother's loud voice sounded outside the door, Su Run pulled off the headphones, looked at the time, it was already more than eight o'clock, it should be time, and the family was going to have a reunion dinner.
Before you know it, it's the New Year again.
Su Run looked at the snow on the windowsill, because the temperature was too low at night, the water stains that had melted were frozen again, and the windows were foggy and frosty.
It must be cold outside!
Su Run thought unexpectedly, Cheng Yuan also returned to his hometown, the north was even colder, she specially checked the weather forecast, there was snow for a few days during the New Year, and the winter in S City was as warm as spring, and I don't know if he was used to going back, would he drive to visit relatives and friends, the road was slippery in snow, and the winter was foggy, did he know how to be extra careful?
Alas, really! Why do you think of him again?
"Runrun, what are you rubbing? Still not out yet? ”
Su Run responded, took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Cheng Yuan, "Is it cold at home?" Happy New Year! ”
I didn't expect him to reply, so I put my phone in the thick and deep pocket of my winter coat and walked out.
Pan Zihao wrapped himself round like a penguin, and when he walked, he swayed, his hat and scarf were all in battle, and only his two eyes were exposed outside, and Su Run laughed all of a sudden.
"You're not going to, are you? I've never seen you so afraid of the cold in previous years! ”
Pan Zihao sighed, took off the scarf and put it aside, and sighed into the palm of his hand, and the white mist dispersed in the room, and disappeared into the air after a while, "That's because I haven't been to S City before, and the winter suddenly returned from more than 20 degrees to a few degrees below zero, can I not be afraid of the cold?" ”
Su Run's smile was on his face, Cheng Yuan also went to S City for the first time, and he also went back from a place of more than 20 degrees for the New Year, I don't know what he looks like now?
"Sister, sister?" Pan Zihao pulled Su Run's hair and said, "It's a god, Miss," and said mysteriously close to her ear and asked, "Do you miss my brother-in-law?" ”
Su Run glared at him, but Pan Zihao had a thick-skinned expression that was not afraid of being beaten, "You women are duplicitous." Yes, let's go, let's go to dinner, after dinner, I'll take you to the square to set off fireworks, I bought a lot. ”
Su Run asked, "That's why you're dressed like this?" ”
"That's not it, there's no heating in the square, and people are freezing to death."
Su Run is actually afraid of the cold, and she thinks that fireworks can be anything to look at? It's not a kid again!
"Sister, you go and add clothes, put on the thickest down jacket, take a walk, hurry up, you have to come back for the New Year."
Seeing that Pan Zihao was so interested, his face turned red when he spoke, and he couldn't bear to spoil his interest, so he went in and got a piece of clothing and came out.
The adults were chatting, Su Run's father and uncle were talking about the latest news, and his mother and aunt were chatting about inconsequential things, Pan Zihao put down his chopsticks and winked at Su Run.
Su Run said: "That, I went out with Haohao to play, you eat slowly, eat more, hehe." ”
"Alas, how old are you kid, Mom still has something to tell you, that Sunset ......"
"Mom, let's go, let's talk about the New Year next year, bear with it first."
Pulling Pan Zihao to escape, he also slipped away.
"Oh, my sister, why don't you tell your aunt about your brother-in-law? My brother-in-law is so good, but I'm afraid that my aunt won't find fault? ”
Su Run glanced at him, "It's not that you don't know, it's temporary anyway, why bother!" ”
"That's what you think!"
Su Runhu looked at him suspiciously, Pan Zihao held the steering wheel and said, "I didn't say anything, forget it, set off the fireworks, make a wish, I hope everything will go well next year!" ”
The square of the park is large, but there are not many people. After all, the Chinese New Year, this point is all eating, chatting and watching the Spring Festival Gala, who can have the leisure to come out and wander around?
Pan Zihao moved the fireworks down from the trunk, placed them in a row on the table, and said to Su Run, "Do you want to light one?" ”
Su Run also suddenly came to the interest, although the flow of people is sparse, but the joy of the New Year is still there, you can see the lights of thousands of homes when you raise your eyes, and you can hear the noise of firecrackers everywhere.
It's just a difference, she has never crossed the New Year with Cheng Yuan, not once!
Pan Zihao and Su Run lit the fireworks on both sides respectively, only to hear the swishing sound, and then looked up, two huge flowers, one red and one green, had exploded in the sky, separated by a short distance, reflecting each other from afar, and merging with each other.
Su Run was slightly stunned, she took out her mobile phone, and wanted to film this scene. When you light up the screen, you see a WeChat reply.
"It's cold, it's going to snow. Happy New Year! ”
Only then did she remember the message she sent to Cheng Yuan before leaving, and she should have received a reply as soon as she sent it, but she didn't expect it.
The corners of Su Run's mouth rose slightly, and he suddenly remembered his original intention of holding the phone, and when he looked up, there was a hissing sound in the sky, and the fireworks burned out, leaving only the ashes with sparks falling down.
Time goes too fast, and so does romance, just like beautiful fireworks, the speed at which beautiful things disappear, so that you don't have time to record, and you are destined to regret and remember in your memories.
Just like that day, Cheng Yuan confessed to her, the fireworks on the horizon also exploded like this, she has seen countless fireworks festivals since she was a child, but there has never been a moment when she feels that those fleeting things are so beautiful, although it is short, but she persistently witnesses one beautiful and heartwarming moment after another with a small blooming time.
Pan Zihao looked at her in a daze and reminded her: "Sister, you get your phone ready, I'm going to start ordering." ”
Su Run put the phone away, put it in his pocket again, and said, "Forget it, you can't shoot so far." ”
The mobile phone can't hold this beauty, and this can't hold her mood at the moment.
Su Run looked at the people gathered in front of him, who should have been attracted by the fireworks, and there were children running around. She smiled and said, "Come, Haohao, let them help us together, light it at the same time, bloom together, and we will go to the hotel to pick up our parents, aunts and uncles after we are done." ”
Pan Zihao scratched his head and asked a few children next to him, "Do you dare to set off fireworks?" ”
A few of them were shaking their heads, and Pan Zihao said stupidly, "I'm as old as you...... Forget it, I was beaten up a lot at that time. ”
Su Run smiled happily and asked, "Did the firecrackers blow up the new clothes for the New Year?" ”
"My mother just feels sorry for the clothes, and she called me for the New Year, alas, it hurts to think about it now."
Su Run pouted, "Auntie is distressed about clothes?" What happens if the firecrackers blow up the meat? What should I do if I hurt my eyes? Looks like you don't have a long memory! ”
As he was talking, a bold little boy came running over, looking like he was seven or eight years old, patted his chest and said, "I'll come, I dare!" ”
"Well, it's good, it has the style of my childhood, come on, give it to you."
A few more children came up, Su Run stood aside, looking at the fireworks that exploded in an instant overhead, colorful and colorful, and the lime nitrate in the air also became a witness to this festivity.
Su Run tilted his head and thought, unlike that day, there was a bright moon missing in the sky.
It is impossible to have a moon on Chinese New Year's Eve, not to mention that the weather is gloomy and the snow is about to fall.
Although it was a little late when I got home, several elders set up a mahjong table in the living room, turned on the TV, and prepared to play mahjong while watching the Spring Festival Gala. Keeping the New Year, you can't sleep before twelve o'clock, and when you wait for the New Year's Eve, you have to send red envelopes to Su Run and Pan Zihao.
Before she was ready, Su Run's mobile phone rang, and she glanced at it and hurried into the room.
Su Run's mother grabbed her and asked, "Who is celebrating the New Year?" Isn't it Xiaohui? ”
Su Run's face was embarrassed and he smiled reluctantly.
Pan Zihao crossed between the two, forcibly separated their mother and daughter, pushed Su Run, and said with a very incomprehensible smile: "Oh, aunt, come on, playing mahjong is going to occupy a favorable position, tonight is a year's worth of lottery, why do you always pay so much attention to my sister?" ”
While speaking, he gave Su Run a look, Su Run quickly slipped away, and did not forget to lock the door.
"Hey, what's wrong? Something to do with me so late? ”
Su Run carefully picked up the phone when it was about to hang up automatically.
"Why did it take so long to pick up?" Cheng Yuan's voice came, and Su Run was a little confused, how to answer him?
"Oh, we went out for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, just came back, I didn't bring my phone." As soon as the words came out, I felt a little weak.
"Have you eaten for so long?"
"Huh? What the? ”
"You haven't replied to my WeChat, did you go to dinner? Eating for so long? ”
It turned out to be this.
Su Run said: "Yes, no, go with Haohao to set off fireworks." ”
The other party was silent for a while, and Su Run was about to speak again, when his aunt's voice sounded outside the door, accompanied by a mobile phone ringtone, "Runrun, Sunset called me, Sunset called, do you want to pick it up?" ”
Su Run rolled his eyes speechlessly, and Cheng Yuan on the other end of the phone seemed to vaguely hear the name, and asked, "Sunset is also at your house?" ”
"No, no." Su Run explained again and again that the aunt outside the door was pulled away by Pan Zihao, and she said: "He called my aunt, it should be a New Year's greeting." ”
There were a few coughs over there, which were heard very clearly in Su Run's ears, and she asked, "Do you have a cold?" ”
"It's too cold just when I came back, a little cold, it's fine."
Su Run nodded, she didn't know what was said outside the door, and several people laughed, which made her want to open the door to find out, and then she suddenly felt that Chengyuan was extremely quiet.
"What? Why is it so quiet over there? Don't have a parent? ”
No wonder Su Run was surprised, after all, it was the Chinese New Year, and it was rare to go back for a reunion.
"Well, my dad is already asleep."
"Hahaha......" There was another burst of laughter outside, and the irrepressible joy of my mother, "Haohao's New Year's money is going to be lost!" ”
In comparison, Su Run suddenly felt that Cheng Yuan was very pitiful. He rarely mentioned his family, and sometimes Su Run asked, and he always tried to find a way to pass it off, and over time, Su Run rarely asked again.
"Cheng Yuan," Su Run called him suddenly over the phone.
"Hmm." Cheng Yuan responded briefly, waiting for Su Run to say the rest of the words.
"Also, it's nothing, it's just, it's what I want to say, I have time to explain it to you about Sunset, do you want to hear it?" Her hand holding the phone was a little nervous, and her palms were sweaty.
Cheng Yuan was stunned and a little flustered, he couldn't calm down, because he didn't know what she was talking about. But he had to answer her, pretending not to care, as if nothing had happened.
"Well, okay, let's wait until it's over."
Su Run listened to his tone a little depressed and unhappy, and somehow blurted out: "I have nothing to do with Sunset anymore, really, I made it clear to him." I'll tell you when it's over. ”
Cheng Yuan's heart seemed to suddenly brighten up, and in his heart, which had been gloomy for a long time, through the layers of black clouds, a glimmer of light shone in, although there was only a trace of it, but hope had arrived, and the black clouds would disperse.
"When will you return?" I'll pick you up. ”
"The eighth day of the first month."
Cheng Yuan replied with a smile, "Okay", and Su Run called him again, "Cheng Yuan,"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Happy New Year!"
"You too, Happy New Year!"
- Cheng Yuan, in fact, I want to tell you, next year, is it possible for me to bring you back for the New Year?
