Chapter 4: My Determination
I've been standing on the sidelines and watching, come to a small one, give me New Year's greetings, and I will also send a red envelope.
But I kept looking at my mother, and found that my mother was actually old, she was sixty years old, and she had gray hair, although she looked like she was fifty years old on the surface, but no matter how you looked at it on the surface, it couldn't change the facts.
I felt sad again for no reason, everyone was at home to keep the New Year, and it was the third year since my father left.
It's been like this every year before, so my mother told everyone not to come, but I didn't expect everyone to come, in fact, I'm quite grateful to my eldest brother for them.
Although we are not related by blood, the eldest brother is closer to us than we are.
The respect for my mother is incomparable.
I also learned later that after my mother was kidnapped, my eldest brother almost took someone to the United States to kill him, and he had to play with those top families.
It stands to reason that I should be happy to have such a brother, but I just can't be happy, I just can't get out of the pain and shadows of the past.
Everyone huddled together to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and when it was twelve o'clock, they went out to set off firecrackers and fireworks together.
Fireworks are not allowed in the urban area of Wangcheng, but they can be set off at will in the ancient city, and in order to maintain the custom of setting off fireworks, the residents of the ancient city have even held protests.
From twelve o'clock, the sound of firecrackers is incessant, sometimes even until dawn.
Lao Qi took a few slightly older children and went out to set off fireworks.
He's like Alice, with half a truck of fireworks in a truck.
I watched it at the time and said to him: "You are such an adult, and you still play fireworks!" ”
The seventh replied to me at the time: "Is it okay?" ”
Now it seems that Lao Qi has long known that this will be such a result, it can be seen that Lao Qi is not so stupid on the surface, he knows it very well.
The sister-in-law took the rest of the sisters-in-law to cook dumplings and glutinous rice balls together.
Everyone had another meal.
After the incident, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next morning, there was another bustle.
After lunch, my mother ordered the guests to be sent off, and then everyone was sent away.
The eldest brother is an orphan and has no relatives, but the daughter-in-law he is looking for has relatives.
In the end, the seventh child was driven away by my mother, and the house was completely quiet, so I and my mother were gone.
The two of them stared at each other, and they didn't know what to do.
"You can't play mahjong on the first day of the new year!" Mom said this, but at three o'clock, the mahjong table had already been opened, and not only did people get together, but also many people came to watch.
In fact, this is the true state of the New Year.
I remember when I was a child, during the Chinese New Year, everyone had a holiday, and it wasn't like now that the shops were still open
I didn't open the door before.
Everyone is fine, they like cats to play cards together or something, a group of people look around, and there are those who follow the pressure, and there are those who eat happy noodles.
I remember when I was a child, I used to eat hemi noodles.
Because our family used to be landlords, and every village was our tenant farmer, as a nominal young master, no matter where I went, no matter who won money, I had a share of the happy face money.
At that time, I was probably only seven or eight years old, and I could get seventy or eighty after walking around, and then I took them all to the village commissary, bought a lot of whips, crackers, and flowers, and took the whole village friends to play.
Fried cats and dogs, and pits were pierced.
Fry ice and water, fry glass bottles.
It's like the child king of the village, and Xiao Wu followed my ass at that time. I'm thirty-three and thirty-four this year, but I didn't expect time to pass so fast.
The friends of the year are gone, and there are very few who return to the village during the New Year.
Most of the people have bought houses in the city and are reluctant to go back to the old city to live.
"Alas!" I sighed again.
Holding his mobile phone, he didn't know who to call and talk about his melancholy.
After thinking about it, I called Wang Sheng first, saying goodbye to the New Year, although after twelve o'clock last night, everyone also greeted each other for the New Year, but at that time, they all said two words in a hurry, after all, everyone was at that time, greeting each other, and the time was very tight.
"Happy New Year!" I bless first.
Wang Sheng was still lying on the bed, sleepy-eyed and said, "Happy New Year!" That's it, I played cards all night last night and lost tens of thousands, I want to sleep well and try to win it back tonight! ”
I called Liu Wei again, and the video was taken by my sister-in-law Bai Xiaohe.
"Happy New Year, sister-in-law!" I said loudly.
"Happy New Year for you, too!" Bai Xiaohe seems to be thinner than before, the melon seed face is becoming more and more obvious, and the person is becoming more and more smart, it can be seen that Liu Wei's eyes were thieves at the beginning.
"Where's Brother Liu?" I shouted.
Bai Xiaohe turned the video, Liu Wei was changing diapers for the two, and when he saw me, he shouted Happy New Year.
Everyone greeted each other, pulled the family routine, and greeted each other's elders and sent blessings.
After hanging up, I called Li Jiaguo and Zhou Lu Zhang Tao, who was still in the dormitory of the same university dormitory, and chatted a few words by the way.
After a lap, my mood is a little better.
But the melancholy has become more and more intense, everyone is reunited, harmonious and beautiful, and looks like a happy family.
And I not only have to bring tea and water to my mother, but also have to send fruit plates.
In fact, the most important thing is that I can't let go of the death of my father, and the death of Alice and others.
Mom didn't seem to care at all on the surface, but I could tell that she was actually there
Smile.
In the past, when her father was there, she relied on her father for everything, let alone washing the dishes, even washing her feet and never washing her own feet, she lived with her father for more than 30 years, and was together almost every day, and suddenly her father was gone, she must have found it difficult to accept.
But maybe it's to not affect me, and I've always been very open-minded.
"Alas!" I sighed again.
Lying on the bed without moving, Victoria's call came, and the rest of the people, Luna, wearing a must cute hat, stuck her head over, pushed Victoria away, and took the lead in sending her blessings: "Dejun! Dejun! Happy New Year! ”
"Happy New Year!" I replied immediately, and sent my blessings to both Phoebe and Serena behind her.
After a long conversation, Victoria sent someone away, and she and I had a separate conversation.
Of course, it's not flirting, let alone falling in love, but talking about business, of course, before the business, there is foreshadowing.
"How have you been? Feel like you're a lot haggard? Victoria asked.
"It's still like you said, self-pity and self-pity! Listening to a love song can make you cry and your eyes are red! I said self-deprecatingly.
"I think you just don't have a beating, just beat it up!" Victoria said expressionlessly.
"What if it doesn't get better?"
"Then fight again!"
When Victoria finished speaking, we both smiled, but I smiled ugly, but Victoria smiled beautifully, like a flower blooming.
"What's wrong?" I knew there must be something wrong with Victoria, otherwise she wouldn't have reached out to us.
"I've also been in contact with John's side and can be assured that they won't be hurt at the moment. They also paid us a reward of 10 million, apparently trying to separate us! Victoria said.
I frowned: "It's okay, we went to the tomb, we need money for equipment and everything, we can't be honest and go out by ourselves, and it should be for them to go out." ”
"Hmmm! That's what I thought, too, so I did it! But..... Victoria stopped talking.
"But what?" I asked.
"But I heard that another tomb has been found, and it is estimated that our next mission is not far away, so you have to recover quickly!" Victoria worried.
"Found another tomb? That's amazing! I couldn't help but sigh.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, just take care of it a little, but I won't let him drive me easily, no matter what they do, I have to see my two children this time, otherwise John will kill them, and I won't go down to the next grave." I said it categorically.
I really need to meet them, first, to make sure they live and die, and second, to see if there is a chance to rescue them, and I feel quite bad when I am always led by the nose.
