The hour hand moves little by little, the lively city gradually cools down, the streets are full of people holding hands and going home, the street lamps are dazzling, the shadows are getting shorter, and finally the long ones are blurred.

Xu Cheng and they returned to the old mansion at three o'clock in the evening, because the lights were not turned off on Chinese New Year's Eve, the four people did not have to enter the house in the dark, the elders had already slept, the house was quiet, the four looked at each other, went upstairs lightly, said good night to each other, and went back to their rooms.

Xu Zhen took off his coat and threw himself on the bed, rubbed his cheeks with his hands, got up for a simple bedtime wash, and then lay on the bed and looked at his phone.

It was already late at night, and the people in the various groups and lists were almost asleep, Xu Zhen thought about it, and signed in one after another, good night, turned off the mobile phone, and had a good night's sleep.

At half past three in the afternoon, Jian Yan wore a thick coat to the main entrance of the school, the weather was very good in the past two days, the golden sun shone warmly on everyone's body, Jian Yan looked at the people around him, smiled slightly, and looked at the buildings in the distance in a daze.

When Shen Chao drove to Mazi University, Jian Yan was still looking into the distance and was stunned, his angular face was young and handsome, which made many girls look sideways frequently, but no one stepped forward, maybe because of this quiet and silent atmosphere, people couldn't bear to disturb it.

Shen Chao looked sideways at the window, and his tone was soothing, "Why do you look so melancholy?" Homesick? ”

In short, I came back to my senses, gave a cool "um", and consciously pulled the car door and got into the car.

Shen Chao's eyes widened in surprise, and he said with a wicked smile: "Are you really homesick?" Do you want to borrow your shoulder, you cry. ”

Jian Yan glanced at him expressionlessly, and said with disgust: "Don't!" Gone, I'm coming back after dinner. ”

Shen Chao frowned, "Why are you coming back?" There are no classes in the evening, so we'll send you back tomorrow morning. ”

In short, he said: "Classmates, they have a party, and I will go to them after dinner." ”

Shen Chao didn't insist on anything when he heard him say this, but said, "Go back first, and then talk about it after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." With that, he stepped on the accelerator and the car sped forward.

The warm and prosperous room is filled with songs sung by the hottest singers in the Chinese music scene, several plates with lids on the table, and Qin Wanyang hangs an apron in the clean and tidy kitchen, singing songs from her mobile phone in her mouth, holding a spatula in her hand, and the image of a good wife and mother.

After about half an hour, Shen Chao came back with Jian Yan and looked at the table with all the colors, flavors and shapes on the table, salivating.

Shen Chao rushed to the kitchen, looked at the people standing in front of the gas stove cooking, and couldn't wait to say, "When can I eat?" Hungry. ”

Qin Wanyang didn't reply, "Come back, then prepare, and you can eat with this dish." ”

Shen Chao suddenly smiled, and shouted at Jian Yan in the living room: "Ah Yan, it's time to eat, come and eat." ”

Qin Wanyang said: "I drink soup, don't eat first." ”

When Shen Chao heard him say this, he also followed: "Then I won't eat first, I'll eat later, there are so many dishes, I feel like it's okay not to eat." ”

Jian Yan remembered what Xu Zhen said, smiled slightly, and appropriately scooped half a bowl of rice for himself, Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year, can not skip meals.

Soon Qin Wanyang brought up the last green vegetables, which were tender and green, and they were very sweet and delicious at first glance.

Qin Wanyang took off her apron, washed her hands briefly, looked at the dishes on the table, and felt a sense of accomplishment, "Let's eat, it's all a family, so it's not so polite, does Ah Yan want to drink?" ”

"Beer?" Shen Chao asked happily.

Qin Wanyang took out a bottle of orange juice, "Ah Yan has class tomorrow, so you can't drink." ”

Shen Chao's excited expression instantly withered, and he pushed his cup over, "Okay, it's okay to drink orange juice." ”

In short, "I don't drink it, but you can drink it, don't worry about me." ”

Shen Chao looked at the person opposite, his eyes were burning in anticipation.

Qin Wanyang said helplessly: "There is beer in the refrigerator, you can drink it yourself, I can eat today." ”

When Shen Chao heard this, he didn't hesitate to get up and go to the refrigerator to get beer.

Qin Wanyang glanced at the person who went to the refrigerator to get something, and then looked at Jian Yan, "Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, do you want to come over for dinner?" Although he and Shen Chao work in the company of the United States, as a major backbone of the company, the company still gives them a week off for the Spring Festival, a big festival in China, and in short, they are students, and they have to take a holiday according to the system of the school in the United States.

Jian Yan shook his head, "No, I have class tomorrow, so it's not troublesome." ”

Qin Wanyang didn't force it, "Go out for a walk after eating?" Watching a movie or a musical? ”

Shen Chao came over with wine, "He said that he would go back to school after dinner and spend time with his classmates." ”

Qin Wanyang looked at Jian Yan, saw his meticulous appearance, nodded, and said with the dignity of a big brother: "Whatever you want, on the second Friday of the first lunar month, you came over for dinner that night." ”

Jian Yan nodded, "Hmm." ”

Shen Chao took a sip of cold beer, felt that the whole person was cold and refreshing, and said with a smile: "Cool, you really don't want it?" And there's more. ”

Qin Wanyang said: "I'll send Ah Yan back to school later, you can't drink, you can just drink." ”

When Shen Chao heard him say this, he no longer tempted him, but said, "Then I'll join you later, and send Ah Yan back to watch a movie, or a football game, you can do anything." ”

Qin Wanyang originally wanted to say that he would come back to watch TV after sending Jian Yan, but seeing his serious and expectant eyes, the ghost nodded in a bad way, "Hmm." ”

Jian Yan ate and said silently in his heart: It's good to let Zhao Wenhao and them help sign up, otherwise it will be a huge light bulb.

As the sun set, the afterglow of the setting sun rendered the pockmarks golden, and on a certain grass-colored yellow lawn, Li Weixin, who was responsible for organizing international students to participate in the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, looked at the people standing around him, and said exhaustedly: "Okay, calm down first, count the number of people first, and when it is all due, we will go to Chinatown to eat together." ”

Song Bosong squeezed his eyebrows at Yuan Zijian, "Didn't you say that you would also participate?" Where is he? ”

Yuan Zijian whispered: "He went to his cousin's place for dinner, and he can come later." ”

Song Bosong was surprised: "He still has a cousin here, so good." "I thought of the space circle of friends posted during the holiday, and I immediately reacted, well, it's different.

Yuan Zijian raised his eyebrows undeniably and did not speak.

The organizer quickly sorted out the list and said loudly to a group of friends with common appearance characteristics: "Okay, let's go to dinner now, there is a car at the school gate." ”

Ten people walked towards the school gate, blonde and blue-eyed friends who were active on the campus were stunned.

Jian Yan finished eating at Qin Wanyang's place, sat down for a while, and then Qin Wanyang drove him back to school, because he brought two bags of vegetables and fruits, it was inconvenient to go directly to the dinner venue for international students.

At six o'clock in the evening, the sky gradually darkened, Jian Yan looked at the information given by Zhao Wenhao and them in the mobile phone, and sat leisurely in front of the computer desk playing with the mobile phone, the meal had been eaten, so let's wait for them to come back.

At this time, it was more than seven o'clock on the first day of the Lunar New Year in China, Xu Wei and others, who came back at the third watch in the middle of the night last night, were called up by Li Lili and Lu Wanrou one by one, and they kept chattering after getting up, which made a few people who hadn't slept enough a headache.

Xu Zhen leaned on Xu Lan and was drowsy, and said aggrievedly: "I didn't sleep until about four o'clock last night, and now it's seven o'clock, and I've only slept for three hours." ”

Xu Lan complained: "Who is not the same. ”

Xu Keming, who went to bed early last night, jumped up and down early in the morning to ask for red envelopes, and when he saw the uncles and aunts swaying on the sofa, he shook his head and said, "Alas, let you not take me to play, look at what they look like." ”

Xu Wei felt a little tightened when she heard his words, and said quietly: "What did the kid say?" I don't want a red envelope anymore. ”

Xu Keming hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "Yes, yes, aunt Wishing you prosperity!" ”

Xu Wei touched his pocket, smiled and gave him a red envelope, and the rest of Xu Cheng looked at each other, I'm still studying, shouldn't I give a red envelope? !

Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu came out of the study, looking at a room full of grandchildren and great-grandchildren, with a kind and kind smile on their faces, and it was the happiest thing for the family to be healthy and harmonious together.

Xu Zhen and others saw them greeting the New Year, and then they greeted Xu Jiayu and them, and the last person sat back on the sofa with a few red envelopes, and the drowsy state disappeared.

Xu Zhen rubbed his eyes vigorously, took out his mobile phone and wanted to send a message to Jian Yan and the group, as soon as he opened QQ, various blessings came out one after another, all the replies sent by the group, opened the chat page with Jian Yan, and sent a message seriously: Good morning!

After sending the message, I felt as if I could complain to my boyfriend, so I continued to post: I'm sleepy and want to sleep.

Jian Yan, who was still waiting for his classmates to come back at school, saw the message and quickly replied: Then go to bed for a while, it's still early.

Xu Zhen didn't expect him to have time to reply to his message, he felt much better, and replied quickly: I'm going to eat later, and I can't sleep.

In short: so early.

Xu Zhen replied and complained indignantly: Yes, my mother came to knock on the door at seven o'clock and called people, I didn't sleep until almost four o'clock last night, so sleepy.

Jian Yan remembered her previous information, and sighed helplessly: Take a rest after eating, otherwise your body won't be able to stand it.

Xu Zhen looked at the information that her boyfriend cared about, the corners of her mouth raised the arc of happiness, and began to ask him if he had eaten? What are you doing? What's going on at school today?

Jian Yan looked at the messages and replied patiently and seriously one by one.

Xu Lan opened his eyes and caught a glimpse of Xu Zhen's smile trembling with a toothache, and his tone was quiet, "Can you stop being such a nymphomaniac?" Just a chat. ”

"You care about me!" Xu Zhen blocked back without showing weakness.

Xu Lan's eyes widened, it was against you, he actually dared to choke his sister, turned his head to look at the kitchen, and pretended to call loudly, "Xiao Zhenzhen is ...... with her boyfriend"

Xu Zhen was taken aback, his heart hung in his throat, and he hurriedly interrupted: "Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense, I'll beat you later." ”

Xu Lan looked at her triumphantly, let you choke me just now, now you know that you are afraid, right?

Xu Zhen looked at her stunned appearance, and really didn't want to speak, so he continued to bow his head and send a message to Jian Yan.
