Wu Liang left, although Xu Lang drank bad wine with Wu Liang, and his somewhat pale cheeks were slightly red under the prickly stimulation of alcohol, but Xu Lang did not drink much.

After Wu Liang left, Xu Lang began to clean up the restaurant and kitchen silently by himself, and Xiao Yueyue also came over to help after Wu Liang left.

After the two of them, one father and one younger, had cleaned up the dining room and kitchen, it was already eleven fifty, and it was almost twelve o'clock, and the bell of the new year was about to ring.

The two of them sat on the sofa, Xiao Yueyue snuggled in Xu Lang's arms, and after watching TV for a while, she finally couldn't help but raise her head, blinking her big black grape-like eyes, looking at Xu Lang, and said in a milky voice: "Xu Lang, have you forgotten something?" ”

Xu Lang knew what Xiao Yueyue was talking about, he looked down at Xiao Yueyue's immature cheeks, stretched out his hand and pinched Xiao Yueyue's face, and asked pretending to be puzzled, "What did I forget?" ”

Xiao Yueyue got up from Xu Lang's lap, pouted, looked at Xu Lang angrily, and said, "It's the New Year, other children have red envelopes, what about my red envelopes?" ”

"Oh... You said New Year's money. Xu Lang seemed to have just remembered this matter, and suddenly looked at Xiao Yueyue and said.

"Hmph......" Xiao Yueyue snorted heavily like a child, in fact, she was just a six-year-old girl.

"Haha......"

Seeing Xiao Yueyue like this, Xu Lang suddenly laughed, he had already prepared to take out a thick, big red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Yueyue, then stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiao Yueyue's head, and said with a smile: "I have prepared it for you a long time ago, I originally wanted to give it to you before the bell rang, since you are so anxious, then give it to you as soon as possible." ”

"Thank you, Dad."

After Xiao Yueyue took the red envelope, she immediately smiled, where is there the indignant look just now, Xu Lang is both angry and funny, it is a little girl with a big ghost, and now it's like this, I don't know how to get it when I grow up in the future.

After Xiao Yueyue opened the red envelope, she found that there were six hundred envelopes, one fifty, one ten, and five and one piece, adding up to just six hundred and sixty-six, after Xiao Yueyue took out the money and counted it, her original smiling face wrinkled together again, she raised her head, looked at Xu Lang in an old-fashioned manner and said: "Xu Lang, why is it six hundred and sixty-six again, can't you change the number?" Eight hundred and eighty-eight is fine, or one three hundred and four, but why six hundred and sixty-six? ”

Hearing Xiao Yueyue's complaint, Xu Lang didn't explain anything, just stretched out his hand and touched Xiao Yueyue's head.

This time, Xiao Yueyue didn't let Xu Lang touch her head, she turned her head a little angrily, dodged Xu Lang's hand, didn't let Xu Lang touch his head, Xu Lang didn't insist, he got up from the sofa very much, walked to the storage room and took out a few fireworks, came to the door, put them on the street, opened the fuse, and then walked to the living room, pulled Xiao Yueyue's book to the door, and then took out a cigarette from his arms, took out a lighter and lit it, after taking a puff, handed the cigarette in his hand to Xiao Yueyue, and looked at the fireworks, Motioned to Xiao Yueyue to light fireworks.

Maybe it's about to order fireworks, maybe Xiao Yueyue is still a child after all, and soon forgot what happened just now, after she took the cigarette in Xu Lang's hand, she quickly ran to a few fireworks, lit the fuse of the fireworks with the cigarette, and after igniting it, she quickly ran to Xu Lang's side, returned the cigarette in her hand to Xu Lang, stretched out her little hand to hold Xu Lang's big hand, and raised her head together to look at the dark and slightly gloomy night sky.

"Whoosh."

Not long after Xiao Yueyue ran back, the fireworks began to rise into the sky, and in the dark night sky, bright fireworks exploded, which made people feel very pleasing to the eye.

Just when Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue were standing at the door to watch the fireworks, Sister Zhang, who lived not far from their house, also took her son to move out a few fireworks and put them on the street, the little boy held a lit incense stick in his hand, and after the fireworks were arranged, he lit the fuse, ran quickly to the woman and stood up, raised her head to look at the sky, and waited for the fireworks to explode.

When the woman walked out of the house, she subconsciously turned her head to look in the direction of Xu Lang's house, and saw the white-haired man, holding a cigarette in one hand and Xiao Yueyue's hand in the other, one big and one small standing side by side at the door, looking up at the fireworks of various shapes bursting out in the night.

The woman's eyes were slightly confused, this is the fifth year that this man has come here, she seems to remember the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve five years ago, the young man with white hair, holding a little baby waiting to be fed in his arms, stood at the door, silently lit a few fireworks, just like now, standing quietly at the door, looking at the fireworks that soared into the sky, that night, the woman suddenly found that the man was so lonely and sad, alone with a child, It reminded her of the time when she lived with her son.

The woman actually has a good impression of Xu Lang, she feels that she has a child, it is a single-parent family, and the man is also a person with a child, she was thinking about whether she could get together with this man and form a new family, but after getting along with that man for a few years, she was full of lightness of this thought, no disappointment, no resentment, and some just some regrets.

In fact, for a woman who lives in a small county all the year round, her vision is not big, and she has not seen many people, not that no one persuaded her to find a man to marry, but whenever this time, she always thinks of her unhappy marriage and young son, whenever she thinks of these, she still shakes her head and refuses.

"Mom, look, that firework is so beautiful."

Just when the woman looked at the father and daughter next door, the son's voice remembered in the woman's ears, she came back to her senses, turned her head, glanced at her son with doting eyes, and then followed her son to raise her head to look at the fireworks in the night, and a satisfied smile appeared on the woman's not so beautiful cheeks.

Yes, my son has started to go to school, he is starting to be sensible, and his family is okay, although he is not very rich, at least he has no worries about food and clothing, and he should be satisfied, thinking of this, women don't think much about it.

And when the woman raised her head to look at the night, the fireworks on Xu Lang's side next door had already been set off, Xu Lang turned his head and glanced at the woman's side, there was no expression on his face, no joy or sadness, only calm, he did not continue to stay outside, but took Xiao Yueyue's hand and walked into the house.

It's twelve o'clock now, Xiao Yueyue is actually sleepy for a long time, if it weren't for the fireworks at twelve o'clock in the evening, she would have fallen asleep at this time, after the fireworks were over, she began to yawn, Xu Lang saw this scene, and asked, "Sleepy?" ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yueyue nodded obediently.

"If you're sleepy, go to sleep."

"What about you?"

"Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I want to keep the new year."

"Why don't I stay with you for the New Year, I'm not very sleepy yet."

"You're a child, you don't have to keep the New Year, I'll keep the New Year alone, you go to sleep."

"Okay then."

Xiao Yueyue didn't insist on anything, so she went to sleep on the second floor alone.

After another half an hour, Xu Lang, who had been sitting in the living room, stood up, went up the stairs to the second floor, first came to Xiao Yueyue's bedroom, and found that Xiao Yueyue had really fallen asleep, Xu Lang smiled slightly, walked over to help Xiao Yueyue cover the quilt, and then put the wait out, turned around and left Xiao Yueyue's bedroom, came to the study, took out the key to open the door, Xu Lang walked in, closed the door, and stayed inside for more than two hours, Xu Lang came out of the study, came to the living room silently, and sat on the sofa, Looking at the dark night outside, my eyes were a little confused, and I didn't know what I was thinking.
