Chapter 8: Chinese New Year's Eve
It rarely snowed in the city, and children rushed to the streets, running and fighting, bending down to pick up handfuls of snow from time to time, rubbing them and finally throwing snowballs into their companions' necks.
There is a north wind passing, the falling snow deviates the trajectory, light as a flocculent, the snowflakes in the sky are numerous, obscuring the vision of pedestrians, but looking at it from afar, the mountains in the distance seem to be hidden into immortals, clear and dusty.
Chinese New Year's Eve, also known as New Year's Eve, is a night when people who travel far away will return, busy people will put down their work, and people who are running around will stop.
Fat Man is looking forward to this day the most, because Fat Fatty's father will give the company a holiday on this day and then go home with his favorite snacks.
"Dad!" The little fat man was helping his mother cook, the door was suddenly opened, and the familiar figure was carrying several bags of things in both hands, and the little fat man cheered and pounced.
"Xiaopeng, if you don't lose weight, Dad will be overwhelmed by you!" The father of the little fat man smiled and touched his excited son.
"You're back." His wife put down her work and came to greet him.
He pushed the little fat man away and hugged his wife heavily.
"Thank you for your hard work." The little fat man's father gently touched his wife's head and said softly, the little fat man pouted and went to cook aggrievedly.
"Hmm." The little fat man's mother snuggled up in her husband's arms with a happy smile on her cheeks.
With this sentence, it is enough.
"Xiaopeng, come back, how is the final exam?" Dad suddenly remembered something.
Mom smiled and showed her husband the little fat man's report card, and suddenly Dad stared.
"100 points in math, 9 points in English?"
"Dad, you know, your son is a science genius and a liberal arts idiot." The little fat man shrunk his neck and explained carefully.
"Husband, I think our son should be sent to a math special training class." Mom proposed.
The little fat man had nothing to say, and laughed, remembering that he was sent to various interest classes in elementary school, and the little fat man shuddered.
……
The warm Chinese New Year's Eve dinner ended quickly, and Du Ruo looked at the hot pot that was still bubbling, and he had no appetite at all, and his stomach couldn't stuff anything.
Du Ruo got up and cleaned the dishes and chopsticks he used, and then went back to the room, leaving his parents at the dining table to chat about their parents' shortcomings, talking and laughing.
Most of the friends in the circle of friends are basking in their sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, some send various emojis to express their expectations for the New Year, some have begun to show affection, and those without objects are dissatisfied with complaints.
"In the New Year, send me your mobile phone number, add I love you, and we will have a story."
Du Ruo's tablemate posted such a text emoji in the circle of friends, which made Du Ruo couldn't help laughing, thinking of the activist who only knew how to bury his head in study, and actually thought about finding a girlfriend.
Du Ruo kept it casually, and let out a bachelor's roar together.
"Keep up with the footsteps of the top students at the same table." Du Ruo smiled and closed his phone.
"Are you looking for a girlfriend?" Xiang Qingmin suddenly sent a message.
Du Ruo thought for a moment.
"yes, can you introduce me to me?"
"I don't have that ability!"
"Then I'll go out and find it."
"Go ahead."
……
Little Fat gathered two classmates from junior high school, and the four of them had the best relationship at that time.
"Peng, why are you looking for us?" One of them yawned.
"Hehe, wait a while Du Ruo arrives, let's play cards together." The little fat man laboriously took out two decks of cards from the pocket of the down jacket, and the little fat man's already fat body and this down jacket were like meatballs.
"Yo! Okay, I think when a few of our brothers were playing cards in the classroom, Gu Peng yelled the loudest, and as a result, he called the teaching director and punished us miserably! Another friend laughed wickedly and brought up some memories from the past.
Du Ruo saw the three of them from a distance, and there was a nostalgic smile on his face, although these friends studied poorly, and they didn't buy a place in Shulin with money like Gu Peng, but their emotions were always very deep, and they had done a lot of things together in those years, and they had also borne a lot of sins together.
"Hey! Du Gongzi, you are here! The two laughed and greeted each other.
"Boss! Come and play, three are missing one! The little fat man exclaimed excitedly, he hadn't experienced such a scene for a long time.
Du Ruo also laughed, in a good mood.
"Okay! Then play cards, don't shout big brother when you lose again! ”
"Hahahaha, come on!"
……
"Three, four, five! Do you want! ”
"Four-six-nine! Press on! ”
"Four-six-nine don't! Gu Peng, do you want it? ”
"Four-six-nine...... Let me see...... Wait? What four-six-nine? What's breaking four-six-nine? The little fat man jumped up and yelled.
"yes, I'll go, what's the matter! Lin Er, dog, you wilt badly! How many of us? ”
"Hahahaha!" Du Ruo smiled so much that he leaned back and closed, and he couldn't even react to it.
Suddenly, the phone rang, it was Xiang Qingmin.
"How do you know my phone number? It can't be Gu Peng's kid who said it again, right? Du Ruo said with a smile, in the cheerful atmosphere, he didn't bother to care so much.
"Hee-hee, yes. Happy New Year! ”
"Well, Happy New Year!"
"Bye-bye." Xiang Qingmin hung up the phone, Du Ruo was stunned for a long time, and he didn't know why the woman called and said Happy New Year.
"Gotta get it! It's me who remembers wrong! I remember the last time I played in Malaysia, 469 was a bigger card than Wang Bang! "Lin Ergouzi" smiled evilly, took the card back in his hand, and did not forget to explain it in his mouth.
"you! Also Malaysia, when I was a chief in South Africa, 469 was the smallest garbage card! Another friend shouted.
The laughter lasted for a long time, and the group played cards for an hour and played mobile games together for a while before they said goodbye and returned home.
"I'm back." Du Ruo inadvertently said to Xiang Qingmin.
"Well, have you found a girlfriend?"
"Not yet, why don't you be my girlfriend."
……
Du Ruo was startled, not knowing why he suddenly said this.
wanted to withdraw, but Xiang Qingmin must have seen this sentence, and Du Ruo's heartbeat suddenly began to accelerate.
After a long time, Xiang Qingmin finally replied to the message.
"1**20200202, I love you!"
The corners of Du Ruo's mouth raised into a smile.
The stars are shining and the fireworks are shining.
