Chapter 47: "One Man's Chinese New Year's Eve"

Lin Zi breathed a sigh of relief, finding that her whole body was already soaked with sweat, she struggled to support her body, sat up, and recalled the terrible nightmare she had just had.

……

In the dream, Lin Zi was only in a fog, it was very dark all around, and there was no sound at all. She tried to open her mouth to shout, only to find that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make a sound. Lin Zi tried his best to move forward in the dark, but he couldn't find an exit.

Suddenly, in front of him, a figure appeared, a girl about the same height as herself, wearing a white gauze skirt, walking towards her step by step.

Lin Zi tried hard to clear the fog, wanting to know who the other party was, but he couldn't see it clearly. The other party got closer and closer, and with a kind smile, he stretched out his hand to himself, and Lin Zi grabbed her without thinking. So, the girl kept running forward with herself, running forward, and after running for a long time, a dazzling light appeared in front of her. Suddenly, the other party pushed himself forward, Lin Zi didn't stand firm, and fell straight down, it turned out that it was not an exit, but an abyss, Lin Zi's pupils were filled with horror, and the other party left a sharp laughter, echoing in the abyss, Lin Zi burst out, "Don't!" ”

……

Lin Zi looked out the window, it was already the beginning of the lights.

Although the memory of this nightmare still makes me feel a little uncomfortable, it is often said that dreams and reality are opposites. Lin Zi comforted himself.

Lin Zi touched his empty stomach, glanced at the snacks on the table, and thought about it, let's go downstairs to eat. As soon as Lin Zi opened the door, he smelled the smell of food downstairs, and sat down at the table in search of the smell.

As soon as Lin Zi picked up the chopsticks to clip a piece of beef, he was beaten down by Lin's mother with chopsticks.

"If you are a little better, eat beef, Sister-in-law Lin, bring her the porridge you cooked."

Lin Zi watched Sister-in-law Lin bring a bowl of white porridge from the kitchen and handed it to herself, "Can I only eat this?" Lin Zi looked at Mother Lin aggrievedly.

"That's all you can eat! No negotiation! Lin Mu said, and turned around and sandwiched a piece of beef for Shi Mu, "Mu Mu, you eat more." ”

Lin Zi watched his beef run into Shimu's bowl, and there was nothing he could do, who let his stomach not fight, so he had to drink porridge obediently.

"Xiaozi, we'll leave tomorrow, you take care of yourself at home." Father Lin said to Lin Zi.

"Got it, don't worry, you guys take Mumu to have fun, take more photos, and remember to bring me gifts."

"I'll let Sister-in-law Lin take a good look at you, don't think about running around." Mother Lin said to Lin Zi with a serious face, turned around and took out a paper bag from her bag, and handed it to Shi Mu, "Mu Mu, this is the swimsuit that Auntie bought for you, remember to bring this when you will pack your luggage." ”

"Thank you, Auntie."

"Tut-tut, this is the difference between biological and non-biological, one is vicious in tone, and the other is soft-spoken, tsk." Lin Zi pretended to have an aggrieved expression and shook his head.

"Drink your porridge." Mother Lin glanced at Lin Zi.

Lin Zi pursed his lips at Mother Lin and continued to bow his head to drink porridge.

At the dinner table, no one noticed the coldness in Shi Mu's eyes.

……

When Lin Zi woke up the next day, Lin's father and Lin mother had already taken Shimu to the airport.

Lin Zi went downstairs and smelled the strong smell of Chinese medicine in the kitchen.

"Sister-in-law Lin, what are you cooking?" Lin Zi pinched his nose and walked to Sister-in-law Lin's side.

"Miss, you're awake, this is the Chinese medicine that Mrs. asked me to cook for you to nourish your stomach."

"It smells so bad, I don't want to drink it." Lin Zi stepped back again and again.

"Miss, Madame said, your body is not complete, you have to drink, I have to watch you finish drinking." Sister-in-law Lin brought the Chinese medicine to Lin Zi.

"Who said that, Sister-in-law Lin, I'm fine, I'm completely fine. Please, don't let me drink it, okay? Lin Zi clasped his hands together and begged Sister-in-law Lin bitterly.

"Madame said, if you don't drink it, you have to go to the hospital to continue the drip." Sister-in-law Lin was also embarrassed.

"So, how many days will I have to drink?" Lin Zi looked at the bowl of black things in front of him, and wanted to vomit.

"You can drink it today and tomorrow."

"That, that, well." Lin Zi made up his mind, gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, closed his eyes, pinched his nose, opened his mouth, and directly poured the Chinese medicine into it, making Lin Zi so bitter that he burst into tears, and poured several bowls of water.

"It's too bitter, it's so painful, I'll never eat indiscriminately in the future." Lin Zi tasted it, his mouth was full of bitterness, and he couldn't help frowning.

Lin Zi took out his mobile phone, swiped the circle of friends, and saw that his parents were located at Sanya Phoenix Airport, and sighed that they had arrived so soon, although they couldn't go this time, but I hope they have a good time.

In the next two days, in addition to drinking medicine and sleeping, Lin Zi felt the Sanya trip between his parents and Shi Mu in the air, and began to feel that his life was quite free, and within two days, without the nagging of Lin's father and Lin's mother, Lin Zi was really a little unaccustomed.

Because she didn't want Fang Xiao to worry, she deliberately didn't tell her that she was alone at home, otherwise, according to Fang Xiao's temper, she would definitely come to accompany her, this year was the first time Fang Xiao returned to China for the New Year, she was embarrassed to snatch her daughter with Uncle Fang and Aunt Fang.

Finally, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Uncle Li rushed back in advance because of something at home, and in the whole big house, there were only two people left, Lin Zi and Sister-in-law Lin.

Lin Zi came to the kitchen and found that Sister-in-law Lin had already made a large table of dishes.

"Sister-in-law Lin, what you make is really delicious." Lin Zi took a piece of ribs in his hand and sent it to his mouth.

Sister-in-law Lin looked embarrassed and hesitated, as if she wanted to say something.

"Sister-in-law Lin, what's wrong? Can I help you? ”

"Miss, I originally promised my wife to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with you, but my son brought his girlfriend home for the New Year this year, and all relatives and friends are waiting for me at home, so I ......"

"It's okay, Sister-in-law Lin, I can do it alone, you see, you have made me so many delicious foods, no one has robbed me, it's all mine, how happy, you can go back with confidence." Lin Zi untied Sister-in-law Lin's apron as she spoke, patted Sister-in-law Lin's shoulder, and comforted, "Sister-in-law Lin, go back quickly, don't let your son and future daughter-in-law wait in a hurry." ”

Sister-in-law Lin looked at Lin Zi with some embarrassment and said, "Miss, I'm sorry......"

"It's okay, go back, bye." Lin Zi took the bag for Sister-in-law Lin and sent Sister-in-law Lin out the door.

"Then, miss, happy new year, I'll go first, see you next year."

"Happy New Year, Sister-in-law Lin." Lin Zi said and hugged Sister-in-law Lin, "See you next year." ”

After Sister-in-law Lin said goodbye to Lin Zi, she turned around and left, looking at Sister-in-law Lin's back, Lin Zi's heart seemed extremely empty.

Now, in the whole house, Lin Zi is really the only one.

The sky gradually darkened, and Lin Zi turned on all the lights in the entire living room, which looked extraordinary, and the lights were bright.

The huge house, there is no sound at all, Lin Zi felt a little lost in his heart, so he turned on the TV, and the voice of the host of the Spring Festival Gala was full of passion, filling the slightly empty house with a little bit of popularity.

Lin Zi sat at the table, eating a large table of dishes alone, although there was a loud laughter from the audience watching the sketch on TV, Lin Zi couldn't feel a trace of the warmth of the New Year.

"Sure enough, a person's Chinese New Year's Eve is really bad."

Lin Zi turned on his mobile phone and saw that Lin's mother had posted a photo of the three of them on the beach, and her heart was a little sour, she was really still a stingy person, and tears flowed down her eyes.

Suddenly, Lin Zi's mobile phone rang, it was Fang Xiao!

"Xiao Zi, Xiao Zi! Happy New Year! ”

Lin Zi immediately wiped his tears, put on a smile, and pretended to be excited: "Happy New Year!" ”

"Xiao Zi, guess where I am now? I am at my grandmother's house, my parents took me back to my hometown for the New Year, ostensibly eating Chinese New Year's Eve, in fact, urging marriage, seven aunts and eight aunts, all came to ask me when I would fall in love, I still managed to sneak out, call you, I envy you so much, you are now in Sanya, you must be very happy, do not have to deal with torture at the dinner table. ”

Lin Zi glanced at the empty house, pretended to be excited, and said, "Yes, we are now having a barbecue in the small garden downstairs of the hotel, it is fragrant." ”

"Alas, I'm so happy, next year I'm going to let my parents travel for the New Year, and never go back to my hometown to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, you don't know, how much they can say, they've been nagging in my ear, and my head hurts when I listen to it......"

Lin Zi quietly listened to Fang Xiao's complaints, and her tears couldn't help but flow down again, she would rather be nagged than be alone now.

"Hey, Xiao Zi, Xiao Zi, why don't you speak? Are you still there? Fang Xiao heard that there was a sudden silence on the other side, and he was a little puzzled.

"Ah, ah, I'm here, I'm just here, barbecue, I'm a little distracted, you go on." Lin Zi wiped his tears, covered his mouth, and tried not to cry out loud, making Fang Xiao suspicious.

"Xiaozi Xiaozi, does anyone set off fireworks in Sanya? Here we are, they're all ready to set off fireworks and a lot of firecrackers. ”

Lin Zi looked at the silence outside the window, "No, probably, because this is a scenic spot, so don't let it go." ”

"Then I'll show you the fireworks here" Fang Xiao turned on the speakerphone, and then held it high to the sky, "Xiao Zi, Xiao Zi, did you hear that?" ”

"Bang, bang, bang"

"I heard, heard, arrived." Lin Zi smiled, tears sliding down his cheeks.

"Xiao Zi, Xiao Zi, now the colors of fireworks are red, green, purple, and pink, and now they are blown up into all kinds of things, as well as changing characters and changing animals......"

"Xiaoxiao, thank you, you." Lin Zi is really grateful to God for allowing her to have such a great and wonderful friend.

"What's this! Xiaozi, you have a good time in Sanya, remember to bring me a gift back! ”

"Yes."

"Bye-bye and Happy New Year."

"Bye-bye and Happy New Year."

Lin Zi hung up the phone, squatted on the chair, hugged his legs and cried.

In the future, I don't want to spend the Spring Festival alone anymore, this feeling of being left behind is really difficult.

After crying for a long time, Lin Zi felt a little panicked and decided to go out for a walk.

As soon as Lin Zi opened the door, he saw an acquaintance at the door of his house.

"Xu Chenrui?"
