Gu's mother's funeral was soon over, and she was buried in the cemetery of Gu Zhao's grandfather's house, which was considered to have fulfilled her wish to go home.

For many people, her departure is just a normal birth, old age, sickness and death, and passing away means forgetting, and for some people it is pain and eternity that cannot be mentioned.

After handling the funeral, Gu Zhao and the squad leader went to Tibet, and heard from them that they would not be able to come back until the New Year.

Chinese New Year's Eve was approaching, Ye Zi counted Cheng Zhen's birthday with his fingers, and also thought about how to discuss with Li Lan that she was not at home on Chinese New Year's Eve.

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Li Lan took annual leave at home, and was busy at home as soon as it was dawn, preparing for the first Spring Festival with only mother and daughter.

Li Lan sat on the sofa and cut the window flowers, serious and focused.

Seeing Li Lan, who was preparing for the Spring Festival so seriously, Ye Zi felt a little sad in his heart. She knew that Li Lan was telling her in this way that even if there was one less person, nothing had changed, and they would still have a happy Spring Festival.

When it came to his mouth, he was swallowed again. Ye Zi hesitated for a long time, and sent a message to Cheng Zhen, "Brother Cheng, are you going to come to my house for dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”

One-second, two-second, three-second...... Countless seconds have passed, and Cheng Zhen has not replied to her message.

Ye Zi waited from noon to evening, but Cheng Zhen still didn't reply to her message. After dealing with Brother Luo's affairs, Cheng Zhen had never replied to her messages for so long, and Ye Zi was uncontrollable and cranky.

Is he unwilling? Difficult? Maybe he's in trouble again......

Just when Ye Zi was thinking about it, Cheng Zhen's phone called.

Seeing that it was Cheng Zhen calling, Ye Zi took a deep breath and ran to the balcony before picking up the phone with trembling fingers.

Cheng Zhen said: "I saw the text message, and then ......"

Ye Zi held his breath.

Cheng Zhen paused for a moment, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief before saying, "I can't go to your house for dinner this year, I want to spend time with my mother."

Ye Zi didn't know what the prison management was like, and asked with some concern, "Can I apply?"

"Yes, yes."

"Okay, I know, Brother Cheng, happy Spring Festival, happy birthday."

Cheng Zhen seemed to chuckle before replying, "It's not time yet."

"I know, but I want to say it a few more times."

Accompanying her mother to celebrate the Spring Festival, Ye Zi can understand it, but she still has a little regret, and she can't help but feel a little lost in her tone.

Xu heard Ye Zi's disappointment and sadness, and Cheng Zhen opened his mouth to comfort her: "Ye Zi, next year, maybe I will ...... next year Well, forget it, nothing. ”

"What's going on next year?" Leaves have always been focused.

"Next year? Maybe I can spend Chinese New Year's Eve with you next year. ”

Cheng Zhen's voice came through the earpiece, even if he couldn't see it, Ye Zi could inexplicably imagine the expression on which he said this, and he seemed to be very sad.

After a long pause, Cheng Zhen continued: "On Chinese New Year's Eve this year, can I go out after ten o'clock?" I'll take you to see the fireworks. ”

Ye Zi glanced back at Li Lan from the windowsill and replied, "I'll discuss it with my mother and give you a reply before tonight."

"yes, okay."

Ye Zi hung up the phone and walked into the house, sat down beside Li Lan slowly, and didn't say a word.

Li Lan smiled softly and said gently, "Boyfriend?"

Ye Zi's heart shrank suddenly, looked up at Li Lan's expression, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said generously: "It's a boyfriend." Isn't mom angry? ”

Li Lan reached out and rubbed her head, and said with a smile: "Fool, why should mom be angry." It's good that you're happy, and falling in love doesn't affect your studies. ”

Speaking of grades, Ye Zi felt a little weak for the results for the first time, this time he failed the math test, and the score is estimated to not be too good-looking.

Ye Zi thought for a moment, in order to go out smoothly on Chinese New Year's Eve, he still temporarily concealed the matter of the math test.

Li Lan handed a piece of peeled apple to Ye Zi and said, "Ye Zi, if you don't mind, can you tell your mother what kind of person he is?"

"It's Cheng Zhen, my mother should know him. For me he is a very good person. ”

Li Lan thought for a few seconds before saying, "It's that kid, well, how to say it, it's a good kid."

The person he likes can be recognized by his family, and Ye Zi is very excited. And what people do when they are excited is often straightforward and bold.

Ye Zi said crisply: "Mom, Chinese New Year's Eve is Cheng Zhen's birthday, I will accompany you to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, can I go out to spend his birthday after ten o'clock?"

Hearing this, Li Lan frowned, thought for a moment before saying, "Yes, but you can't spend the night outside."

got a satisfactory answer, Ye Zixiao's mouth was almost grinning to the back of his ears, like a cat arching into Li Lan's arms to be coquettish.

Li Lan touched the small hair on the top of her head dotingly, and said softly and slowly: "Yezi, youth can fly wantonly, it can be as fierce as a flame, but you must grasp the degree."

Ye Zi glanced up at Li Lan, squinted and smiled: "Well, Mom, I have a sense of proportion."

Ye Zi and Li Lan chatted in the sofa for a while, Ye Zi suddenly remembered that he hadn't replied to Cheng Zhen yet, and said to Li Lan: "Mom, I'm going to sleep, you have to rest early."

Li Lan glanced at her and shook her head helplessly, "Let's go." ”

Ye Zi quickly slipped back to the room and excitedly called Cheng Zhen.

The phone has been left unanswered.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that Cheng Zhen called back.

"What's wrong?"

Cheng Zhen's voice was hoarse, and the three words "what's wrong" were said by him with difficulty and a low voice.

"Brother Cheng, what's wrong with your throat?"

Cheng Zhen coughed a few times before answering her: "It's okay, I just blew the wind on the rooftop, and I caught a cold after blowing too much."

"Did you buy the medicine? Do you want me to buy medicine and send it to you? ”

"The medicine was taken. Can you go out on Chinese New Year's Eve? ”

"Yes, yes! My mom agreed, but couldn't spend the night outside. ”

Hearing this, Cheng Zhen chuckled, "I didn't want you to spend the night outside, and I will send you home after watching the fireworks." ”

"Ye Zi has been received, Brother Cheng is the most amazing upright gentleman." The leaves became stubborn and said playfully.

Cheng Zhen laughed out loud at her teasing, and the laughter came through the earpiece.

Cheng Zhen laughed for a moment before continuing: "Yezi, thank you, every time I talk to you, I feel alive again."

"Brother Cheng, don't carry anything alone, at least I will always be with you. Also, don't be unhappy. ”

"You can tell you, I'm in a terrible mood today."

"Ang" Ye Zi replied briefly, and after a few breaths of relief, he said, "Obviously." You can't hide it from me, so it's better to confess and be lenient. ”

"There's nothing to hide from you, just take the medicine, I don't have any energy, and I'm a little scared."

"Okay, I believe you, if you're still very unwell, you have to tell me."

"Got it, girlfriend, my ears are calloused."

"Xiao Cheng, come over for a while......"

A voice came from afar, and it seemed that someone was calling Cheng Zhen.

"Brother Cheng, are you outside?"

"No, my neighbor's aunt asked me to help her look at the computer."

"Okay, then you go and see, I'll take a shower and sleep."

"Good night, leaf."
