Chapter 48: Chinese New Year's Eve Gifts
That day, Cheng Qingge and Xiaoxiao, who left the café, became sad people.
They walked home side by side, as if they used to go to and from school together, but the carefree they used to be gone, but now they are preoccupied.
Come to think of it, growing up really has to go through a lot, and growing up turns out to be heavy.
However, when parting, Xiaoxiao finally wiped her tears and smiled at Cheng Qingge in the cold wind: "The past has to be passed." There are some things that the ending is doomed, and you have to take it to heart, or you can't get along with yourself. ”
Cheng Qingge also smiled hard at Xiaoxiao, thinking that Xiaoxiao was probably about to end her unforgettable first love. But what about yourself? I don't know when I will be able to get out of the siege in my heart like a little one.
However, the good news is that Chinese New Year's Eve is almost here.
During the Chinese New Year, the whole world will become jubilant. The feeling of sadness and sadness in Cheng Qingge's heart seems to be disappearing.
In fact, Cheng Qingge's favorite feeling of going home is this strong Spring Festival atmosphere.
Life should have a sense of ritual, and for Chinese, the most important ritual must be the Spring Festival every year. In any case, at the end of the year, everyone seems to have let go of all the joys and unhappiness of the past year and are ready to welcome the arrival of the new year.
On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Cheng Qingge first went to his grandparents' house with his parents, and a large family of relatives and friends sat together for a reunion dinner. In the evening, the family of three returned to their small home to watch the party and celebrate the New Year.
The sound of firecrackers began to sound early in the morning of the 30th, and it was lively and lively for a day without stopping. Although many people think that the sound of firecrackers is too noisy and not environmentally friendly, Cheng Qingge always feels that these crackling sounds carry his good memories of the Spring Festival since he was a child. It seems that many cities have begun to ban fireworks, and I don't know how long the sound of firecrackers can be heard.
Late at night, the sound of firecrackers has quieted down, and fireworks have begun to take turns again, dominating the night sky of Chinese New Year's Eve from all angles.
Although there is only a family of three for dinner, my parents have been busy in the kitchen, preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and making dumplings, which are to be cooked and eaten after midnight. These customs have been passed down from generation to generation by the older generation, and they have been carefully observed from generation to generation, as if they are guarding the original heart of praying for peace and happiness.
After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Cheng Qingge accompanied his parents to watch the Spring Festival Gala, while holding his mobile phone to grab red envelopes, chat, and greet the New Year in various WeChat groups. Just when he was having fun, a short message suddenly popped up, and the sender was Wu Jiahao.
"Senior sister, are you at home tonight? Watching an evening? You now come up to the balcony and you'll be pleasantly surprised. ”
Cheng Qingge was stunned after reading the information, balcony? Surprise? Wu Jiahao, what is this going to do?
She still nestled on the sofa and didn't move, but politely replied to the message: "New Year's greetings to senior brother!" Happy Chinese New Year! I'm at home, huh? What's the surprise? ”
"You'll find out when you get to the balcony." Wu Jiahao actually deliberately sold Guanzi.
Cheng Qingge had no choice but to walk to the balcony suspiciously and look out, the beautiful night sky was dotted with fireworks, and nothing else seemed to be found.
At this time, Wu Jiahao's message arrived again: "Are you already on the balcony?" ”
Cheng Qingge had no choice but to obediently take a photo outside the window, and sent it with a questioning expression, indicating that he was already in place.
Wu Jiahao replied to the message: "Okay, ready, look at the direction of our school." ”
After reading the text message, Cheng Qingge was thinking about where the "direction of the school" meant, and suddenly the night sky outside the window was lit up, and in the direction of Cheng Qingge's middle school in the community, there was an open space, and rows of fireworks rose into the air, colorful and beautiful.
Cheng Qingge was sighing that the fireworks were so beautiful, and in a blink of an eye, the fireworks were all over. Cheng Qingge was in a trance and saw again that a figure appeared near the fireworks just now, holding that small safety firework in his hand, as if waving at her.
That man...... Could it be...... Wu Jiahao?
When Cheng Qingge was stunned, Wu Jiahao's message came again: "The fireworks are gone in a flash, but my blessings are always there." Cheng Qingge, happy Spring Festival, happy every day in the future! ”
Cheng Qingge looked at the blessings, and then looked at the figure holding fireworks for her in the cold night downstairs, and suddenly her eyes moistened.
Although he couldn't see the expression of the figure downstairs at all, Cheng Qingge's mind was already full of Wu Jiahao's bright smile.
That smile was so beautiful that Cheng Qingge was so moved that he almost cried.
She hurriedly ran back to the house, hurriedly put on her clothes, and said to her parents, "I'll go downstairs." Before my parents could react, they had already taken the elevator downstairs.
It was really a little cold on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and Cheng Qingge ran all the way over, and the breath he exhaled turned into a white mist to his mouth.
However, as Wu Jiahao's figure holding fireworks got closer and closer, Cheng Qingge felt warm in his heart. Sure enough, she saw his warm and bright smile again, which was particularly beautiful under the reflection of fireworks.
Cheng Qingge ran to Wu Jiahao like this, stood up suddenly, and then looked at him with a good-looking smile.
A second ago, I was rushing downstairs, but when I got to it, I suddenly found myself unprepared and didn't know what to say.
Thinking back to the time when the two of them met and got along alone, it seemed that nine out of ten times they were like tonight, and they couldn't escape the awkward silence.
Fortunately, this time Wu Jiahao spoke first: "It's so cold, why did you run out." I wanted to give you a gift. It's good to see it upstairs. Just fireworks, do you like it? ”
Cheng Qingge nodded seriously after hearing this, and before she could open her mouth to say thank you, Wu Jiahao lowered his head and said, "Do you remember Christmas night?" You said that you like to watch fireworks the most. I thought, isn't the Spring Festival the best time to set off fireworks? So, I came with fireworks. ”
Cheng Qingge looked at Wu Jiahao's good-looking face and pure smile a little incredulously. She didn't expect that he would remember everything she said casually.
Cheng Qingge didn't speak for a long time, but Wu Jiahao didn't stop, turned around and took two safety fireworks plugs in Cheng Qingge's hands and said, "However, since it's down, let's play together for a while, right?" ”
After speaking, he helped Cheng Qingge light the fireworks, and the crackling small sparks bloomed between the two of them.
Wu Jiahao turned on a small bag full of safety fireworks behind him, and said with a smile: "Look, there are many more here, I can let you put enough tonight, and you don't have to watch others set off fireworks with envy." ”
Cheng Qingge, who was holding fireworks, suddenly felt that she was spoiled by Wu Jiahao as a child for a moment, and the memories of setting off fireworks when she was a child suddenly came to her heart, so she also smiled warmly.
The fireworks stick in his hand shook up, drawing a trail in the night sky, and also drew the most beautiful appearance of blessings.
Just like that, one after another, I took the fireworks to help you light them, and you took the fireworks and helped me light them, coupled with the warm smiles of the two of them, the winter night became so warm.
After putting it to the last few, Cheng Qingge felt a little tired, so he found a step to sit down, and Wu Jiahao walked over after putting off the last two fireworks in his hand and sat next to her.
Cheng Qingge turned his head, looked at Wu Jiahao's good-looking side face, and said seriously word by word: "Thank you." This is probably the most special and happiest Chinese New Year's Eve I've ever had. ”
At this time, Wu Jiahao also turned his head, and the two of them suddenly got very close. He stared at Cheng Qingge's eyes and suddenly stopped smiling.
There is still a small section of fireworks burning in Cheng Qing's singers, and a few good-looking big fireworks occasionally bloom in the night sky, reflecting the faces of the two people very clearly.
Wu Jiahao suddenly and seriously shouted Cheng Qingge's name: "Qingge ......"
Cheng Qingge suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little tense, Wu Jiahao rarely seemed to call her like this, and she always shouted her sister the most.
What will happen in the next second, Cheng Qingge's mind is blank. This kind of atmosphere is too suitable for confession, right? This is how idol dramas are staged, right? If you confess, what should you do? Just when Cheng Qingge's eyes were flustered and he wanted to escape, his mobile phone suddenly rang like a life.
Cheng Qingge hurriedly took the opportunity to put down the fireworks, took out his mobile phone and stood up, and as soon as he connected it, he heard his mother ask with concern on the phone: "Qingge, you ran out in a hurry in the middle of the night, what the hell happened?" Don't come back so late? ”
Cheng Qingge cleared his throat a little nervously and said, "Ah, Mom, it's okay, that's it, it's my classmate who came to me." Say a few words, it's okay, it's okay, I'll go back immediately. ”
After speaking, she glanced at Wu Jiahao again, and found that the kid had already picked up the half of the fireworks she had just dropped, staring at the fireworks in a daze.
The mother on the other end of the phone seemed a little puzzled when she heard this, but she didn't continue to ask, and only said: "It's cold outside, don't stay too long, can you invite your classmates to sit at home?" ”
When Cheng Qingge heard this, it was as if his whereabouts had been discovered by his mother, and he looked up at the direction of his balcony a little weakly, and then hurriedly said, "Ah, no need, it's okay, I'm going back soon." It's okay. I'm hanging, I'll go back. ”
After saying that, she quickly hung up the phone.
At this time, Wu Jiahao extinguished the fireworks in his hand and returned to his usual smile.
"Didn't you rush you home?"
Cheng Qingge nodded with a smile, and then said, "Senior brother, thank you again for your Chinese New Year's Eve gift, it can really be regarded as the best of the year." However, the night is already late, don't sit on the steps for too long, you will catch a cold. ”
Cheng Qingge stretched out his hand to him as he spoke.
Wu Jiahao was stunned for a moment, but finally did not stretch out his hand, but stood up by himself, patted the soil behind him, and said self-deprecatingly: "Do I look like an elderly person who needs help from others to stand up?" ”
Cheng Qingge also smiled when he heard it, and hurriedly said, "No, of course not." ”
Wu Jiahao got up and walked forward directly, saying as he walked: "Let's go, it's too late, the weather is really cold, I'll send you back." ”
Cheng Qingge hummed quietly and followed.
Along the way, the two of them walked side by side, and there were no words, and the short distance seemed to become very long again.
Just now, Wu Jiahao stared at his expression seriously, and the appearance of calling himself Qingge appeared in front of Cheng Qingge's eyes repeatedly.
Fortunately, the sound of firecrackers and fireworks around them came and went, relieving the embarrassment of the two people being silent again.
When he arrived downstairs, Cheng Qingge smiled obediently and waved his hand to Wu Jiahao and said, "Goodbye, good night." ”
Wu Jiahao didn't answer, and Cheng Qingge had to be stunned.
Wu Jiahao approached her, stretched out his hand, and touched Cheng Qingge's head like a brother, suddenly sighed quietly, and finally said, "Good night, little junior sister." ”
