Chapter 5: Prayers in Fireworks

"Ruoruo, help Dad get the medicinal oil on the table." Fang Ruo's father's deep voice came from the room.

Fang Ruo was sitting on the sofa in the living room and reading a book, she got up and took the medicinal oil and walked to her parents' room, her mother was on the phone, talking to her employees about work matters, and her words were a little serious.

Fang Ruo felt very distressed when she saw her father curled up on the bed with an old problem, and she silently helped her father apply medicinal oil to the sore spot, hoping that she could share some pain for her father.

The winter in the town is very cold, and the cold air makes people's bones feel cold. In the winter of the south, no matter how tightly you wrap yourself, as long as you go out and are blown by the cold wind, you will feel like you are instantly beaten into the original shape. If there is still a rainy day, the cold feeling brought by the wind and rain is not something that ordinary people can bear, and the accumulated cold weather has caused many people to suffer from rheumatism.

Fang Ruo's father did not escape the invasion of the cold weather in winter, he had rheumatism, and his joints would feel sharp pain like being pricked by needles on rainy days, and he couldn't sleep at night when he had rheumatism.

He was a lean man, not tall, working in a public institution, and a small civil servant. Character is taciturn, honest and honest, has no opinions and is not good at talking, but people are diligent and take care of their families, and they don't have any bad hobbies, and they will get off work and go home on time every day.

Although Fang Ruo's father is still a qualified husband and father, Fang Ruo's mother does not think so, in her words, Fang Ruo's father will be used as a gun in the workplace for such a cowardly character.

Fang Ruo's mother is a strong woman, who has the right to speak on major issues in the family, she is a leader in a factory with high returns, managing hundreds of employees under her control, and she is very popular and capable on weekdays. Rao is now in the third trimester, raising a baby at home with a big belly every day, and the work in his hand has not been put down, and he can't answer the work calls every day.

Fang Ruo's personality is not as amiable and cowardly as her father, nor is she as sharp as her mother, she is just in the middle of the two extremes.

Fang Ruo never causes trouble herself, but she is not afraid of things, if someone comes to repeatedly embarrass and fight, she will not swallow her anger. She doesn't like to deal with people and refutes fiercely, but she will never be trampled under her feet and played with at will. She has a bit of a shaft in her personality, and she has a lot of strength in her heart, she is gentle and considerate on weekdays, but if she really encounters something, her heart is extremely firm.

The last final exam came down with another rain this winter, Fang Ruo took the preparation seriously this time, because the previous few mock exams of a single subject were not ideal, she felt a little frustrated, she was a person who was fighting in her heart, so she recently put all her energy into reviewing, and even Xu Zhuoyuan called her a few times to go out to play together, and she refused.

Xu Zhuoyuan is naturally not interested in review, his intelligence and talent are really enviable, he never reviews after class, but what he has learned in class can be remembered. There are really such people in the world, who spend less time studying than others, and they can still do very well in exams.

Fang Ruo knew that he didn't have his talent, and he only thought that he might be able to make up for his shortcomings by relying on his own efforts. In the end, the study did not live up to her intentions, this time the mathematics did not lag behind, the Chinese and English were extraordinary, and the overall score rushed into the top five of the class, ranking fourth, this result is already a great improvement for her.

On the way home after receiving the notice, she felt very grounded in her heart, which was a satisfying sense of enjoyment. It turned out that the results of hard work were so beautiful, and she liked this feeling in her heart.

Approaching the Spring Festival, the atmosphere of the festival is gradually warming, Fang Ruo's mother is very inconvenient to travel with a big belly, Xu Zhuoyuan's mother helped buy many New Year's goods, Xu Zhuoyuan helped to run errands and transport, running back and forth with Fang Ruo's house at home, enjoying it.

This year, Xu Zhuoyuan's family chose not to return to their hometown for the New Year, so the two families decided to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Xiang Zichen hasn't come to them for some days, a few days ago he ran over and threw a few packs of snacks to Fang Ruo and Xu Zhuoyuan, saying that it was a specialty that his father brought back from a business trip, and then Xiang Zichen went to his grandmother's house with his parents for the New Year.

On the day of the New Year, Fang Ruo and her mother were cutting the window flowers together, she was patient and careful, and each time she followed the steps to complete it step by step, and then pasted the exquisite window flowers on the windows of the house, and the unique festive and lively atmosphere of the New Year's flavor also followed.

In the past few days, Xu Zhuoyuan's mother has been cleaning inside and outside the house, busy taking care of things at home, and she is too busy to eat. Xu Zhuoyuan didn't know anything about housework and couldn't help, he knew that he was bored and didn't want to stay at home, so he spent most of the day at Fang Ruo's house, sometimes chatting with Fang Ruo, sometimes writing homework and reading books, but he also enjoyed himself.

"Fang Ruo, you really have a lot of mistakes." Xu Zhuoyuan picked up Fang Ruo's math winter vacation homework on the table and looked at it carefully. There are no standard answers for winter vacation homework, and he is the same as the standard answer here.

Fang Ruoshen was self-aware, but she still felt a little embarrassed by what he said, she was already sensitive, and she felt that Xu Zhuoyuan had some mockery in her words, and her face turned red suddenly.

She walked up and snatched the homework from his hand, and said with a serious expression: "I don't know if I respect other people's privacy, I didn't let you see it." There was some displeasure in the words.

Xu Zhuoyuan was stunned for a few seconds, seeing Fang Ruo's pale face, he realized that what he had just said was a little inappropriate, and then his face was full of smiles, and he shook Fang Ruo's arm and said, "Don't be angry, I don't mean anything else, blurt out and think so much, besides, when will we still divide yours and mine, you say, right?" Xu Zhuoyuan blinked his bright eyes and looked at Fang Ruo expectantly.

Fang Ruoben was still a little angry, but looking at the eager gaze he cast, her heart felt soft, and Yu Yu seemed to go with it, and she couldn't help but sneer twice.

Xu Zhuoyuan was very happy to see that she was not angry anymore, and the two discussed going to the market to buy some firecrackers and fireworks to play later.

The two of them have been like this since they were children, Xu Tianyuan doesn't speak lightly or heavily on weekdays, sometimes he talks too much and makes Fang Ruo angry, Fang Ruo ignores him, and he is most afraid that Fang Ruo will ignore him, and he also figured out Fang Ruo's temperament after coming and going.

She is a typical eater of soft and not hard, every time she talks to her well, coaxes a sentence or two, and the two of them will rebuild the old friendship, if she also fights hard, she can really do it without talking and no longer care about you, Xu Zhuoyuan already knows her well.

Although Fang Ruo would still tell him seriously afterwards that he would let him correct this bad problem, and every time he promised with righteous words on his face, he forgot about it as soon as he finished speaking, and he still wanted to say what he wanted next time.

He was not afraid that Fang Ruo would leave, just as he was sure in his heart that Fang Ruo would not leave him, they were the closest people to each other except for their parents, how could someone like a relative leave him, he had already sworn in his heart.

"In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Thousands of households are embarrassed, and they always replace the new peach with the old charm. "As Wang Anshi wrote in the poem, the New Year came with the lively sound of firecrackers, and after the two families got together for a reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, they sat around to watch the Spring Festival Gala and waited for the arrival of the New Year together.

It was almost twelve o'clock, Xu Zhuoyuan hurriedly called Fang Ruo, who was immersed in the Spring Festival Gala cross talk program, to go downstairs to set off firecrackers and fireworks. The temperature at night was very low, the night was dewy and cold, and Fang Ruo didn't put on his clothes in a hurry, and he shivered in the cold wind. Xu Zhuoyuan saw her like this, and felt helpless for a while.

"Why don't you wear more clothes when you go out, your snot is frozen."

Fang Ruowan said: "You are urging so urgently, if I am three seconds slower, you will not stop." ”

"A boring cross talk show, you like to watch it every time." Xu Zhuoyuan's words were full of disdain.

"It's the art of living, of course you don't understand it." Fang Ruo responded without urgency.

"Okay, okay, I don't understand your elegant taste, you don't want to wear my clothes if you don't wear clothes, right?"

"I didn't say I was going to wear you, I'm not cold." She sniffed again.

Xu Zhuoyuan ignored her words, but took off the horse clip on the outside of the down cotton jacket.

"Take it, take it, it's still hard to freeze like this, I don't want to wait for you to go back and have a cold and fever, and you can do something good for the New Year." As he spoke, he shoved his clothes roughly into Fang Ruo's hands. Fang Ruo didn't say anything more after his clothes, but obediently put them on.

Xu Zhuoyuan took out a large bag of fireworks and firecrackers, and handed them to Fang Ruo neatly.

Fang Ruo likes to play with small fairy sticks, which will shine brightly when lit, and when they swing in their hands, they look like meteors in the night sky.

Xu Zhuoyuan likes to hold the fireworks stick, which is lit and points to the sky, and every few seconds the firecrackers with a red heart of fire will pop out of the fireworks stick and go straight into the sky, blooming in the night sky.

Xu Zhuoyuan felt very satisfied, he had the word far in his name, he liked the distance, looked forward to the future, the pride and confidence in his bones, and the vigor on his body were the most beautiful appearance of a teenager.

“3”! “2”! “1”! Happy New Year! The people around shouted loudly along with the countdown of the bells, joyfully welcoming the arrival of the New Year, and then the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another, and colorful fireworks lit up the land, shining dazzlingly in the night sky.

"Fang Ruo, Happy New Year!" Xu Zhuoyuan looked at Fang Ruo and said with a smile, his eyes clear and bright.

Fang Ruo also smiled, "Happy New Year, Xu Zhuoyuan." ”

"I hope you make fewer mistakes in the new year, hahahahaha." Xu Zhuoyuan grimaced at Fang Ruo, looking proud. Fang Ruo didn't speak, rolled his eyes at him. Both of them looked at the sky, both of them attracted by the splendor of the sky above them.

Fang Ruo looked sideways at Xu Zhuoyuan, he was looking up at the fireworks in the sky, his face was flickering with streamers, and there seemed to be a sea of stars in his eyes. Fang Ruo closed his eyes and repeatedly said silently in his heart: I wish people a long time, but I wish people a long time ....... ”

Plain and comfortable life is the happiest, when people experience it, people only feel that the days are too ordinary, without waves, but if the peaceful life is broken, the troubles that follow in the cruel reality make people recall the beauty of ordinary life.

The night was getting deeper, and the dazzling fireworks remained in people's hearts, Fang Ruo fell asleep tiredly, but at that time she didn't know that the next life had just begun.
