But in the Spring Festival of 2016, there was still only one person left on the summer solstice.

Xiao Yiqing wanted to take Bei Bei back to Yeyang for the holiday, she wanted to ask Xia Zhi to go over with her, Xia Zhi thought about it, and shook her head.

"What are you doing here alone?" Xiao Yiqing pursed her lips and said.

"Write." Xia Zhi said casually, "Isn't this just right, it's been delayed for a few years." ”

In fact, she didn't want to be close to the warmth of others in this kind of festival celebrated by the whole world, so as not to touch the scene.

Xiao Yiqing's divorce was supported by her mother's family, although she also felt pity and persuaded her, but her parents were her strongest backing. Xia Zhi thought, probably this is what parents should look like.

After sending Xiao Yiqing and Bei Bei to the station, Xia Zhi returned to the rental house alone, and her annual leave began.

On weekdays, there is Bei Bei at home, and the house is always lively, but now this small two-bedroom and one-living room looks deserted.

Summer Solstice was bored, so I packed up Beibei's toys, put away the dolls, building blocks and electric toys in a categorical manner, and then began to mop the floor and clean up.

Even if it's a person, you have to be clean and have a good year.

Now she can write quietly and quietly, and no one will interfere with her, and no one will say what she writes. This freedom has been lost for a long time.

If anything, it's that she is no longer compromised. A person will also eat well, even if he goes downstairs to throw out the garbage, he must dress neatly, go to the market to buy vegetables and come back to cook, and simply put on light makeup.

If she doesn't live a more delicate life, her marriage will be divorced in vain.

Xia Jianfeng and He Yan thought that she must be miserable and sloppy after the divorce, and she wanted to slap them in the face beautifully, even though they didn't know it. At the very least, she had a spiritual victory.

On the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, the summer solstice even went to buy couplets and New Year's goods and returned to the rental house. There are snacks such as candy, candied biscuits, etc., and there is a high probability that no one will come to the door, she can put it to eat by herself, and keep it if she can't finish it, and Xiao Yiqing and Beibei will come back after the New Year.

It was a hassle to paste the couplet, a person stepped on the bench, no one held the old rolled red paper with a handle, no one handed the scissors, and it took her a lot of twists and turns to paste the couplet.

When fixing the lower link on the other side with transparent tape, the phone vibrated in her pocket, and she didn't want to stop, so she waited until the couplet was pasted before taking out the phone.

She frowned at the name of the missed caller ID: Su Mu.

It was actually Su Yujie. Xia Zhi forgot her mobile phone and saved her phone number. It's impossible for Su Yujie to call her to greet the New Year.

After coming back from Su Xiao's house that day, she hadn't contacted him for a week, and Su Yujie could only find her because of Su Xiao.

Xia Zhi thought about it, but still called back, she was worried that there was really something important.

It was not Su Yujie who answered the phone, the person claimed to be Su Yujie's sister--that is, Su Xiao's aunt. This call was really to find Su Xiao.

After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhi did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately took the subway to Fenglin Garden to find Su Xiao.

Su Xiao was very surprised by her sudden visit, Xia Zhi didn't care about the embarrassment caused by the unhappy parting last time, and asked him angrily: "What are you doing when you turn off the phone?" Do you know your mom is looking for you? ”

“…… I know. Su Xiao opened the door a little and let Xia Zhi in, "She's fine, she's just hospitalized with appendicitis." The surgery is done, and I can't help her when I go back. My aunt will take care of her. ”

Xia Zhi raised his hand and slapped him on the shoulder, the force was so great that he shook his body, he looked at her with his mouth open, he was a bit of a bastard, but as for having such a big temper? fate

She puffed up and said, "It's not appendicitis...... Your aunt is hiding it from her......"

"What do you mean?" He frowned.

"There is a tumor in the uterus that has been surgically removed...... Further examinations will be scheduled on these two days. She needs you to go back. ”

Su Xiao pressed the shoulder that had just been patted by Xia Zhi with one hand and forgot to put it down, he subconsciously took a step back, and his eyes couldn't find a place to put it.

"Su Xiao ......"

She grabbed his arm, and he held it up and said, "Let me think about ......"

"Don't think about it, go back." She shook his arm gently and said, "I'll go back with you." ”

She said that without thinking. She didn't have a special affection for Su Yujie, but this bad news touched the softness in her heart. Especially when I think of how hard Su Yujie pulled Su Xiao up.

No one is born to be parents, Su Yujie's power and desire to control have caused Su Xiao a lot of damage, and such pain may accompany him for the rest of his life. However, she did her best.

His excellence is watered by her blood and sweat. She provided him with the best material conditions and the best quality education, in exchange for the freedom he has in his career choice and life today.

Blood is thicker than water, how can you really not care?

That night, they took the LRT to Peng Chau.

It was the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the sky was dark, but from south to north, the train passed between the cities, and from time to time firecrackers, fireworks or neon lights illuminated a small piece of the sky, and the heart was also illuminated.

Xia Zhi remembered her last Chinese New Year's Eve, which was in 2012, she returned to Nanzhou after seeing Cao Limei from Yancheng, four years, Cao Limei died young, Liang Lu went to a foreign country to pursue her dreams, Xiao Yiqing shifted the focus of her life to the child, and she fell in love, got married, and divorced.

And also...... Su Xiao, who left and appeared in her life, unknowingly became her most important friend. He annoyed her from time to time, but he never stayed away.

He was there when she needed it.

They supported each other, and this time was no exception.

Peng Chau West is not the terminal station, the standing time is only five minutes, when getting off the train, people crowded to the door, Su Xiao took her hand to prevent the two from being washed away.

The square in front of the station is wide and paved with square cement bricks. As he walked out of the station gate, he let go of her hand.

Suddenly, she heard someone shouting not far away: "Look! There are fireworks! ”

She looked up, and sure enough, she saw a corner of fireworks blooming at the back of the station. I don't know where I put it, it's probably not far from here. One by one, blooming and extinguishing, the sky was reflected in red and green.

The New Year is two hours away. This year, she went to a strange place to celebrate the New Year.

"Summer Solstice, I'll say to you in advance, Happy New Year." He also looked up at the fireworks, his face clear.

"Well, Happy New Year." She answered.

"And, thank you." From leaving Nanzhou to the present, this sentence has always been in his heart.
