Chapter 52: Changes on Chinese New Year's Eve
The end of the year is cold, the winter snow melts, and the warm palace seems to blow into the warm spring breeze. The huge red candle was lit, and from a distance, it looked like clusters of flowers. The whole country celebrates, spends a good night together, bids farewell to the old and welcomes the new.
I can't remember where I saw such a scene describing the New Year, Ye Ziyu only felt that it was very appropriate. On the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Ye Ziyu got up early as usual and changed into festive new clothes, Ye Ziyu's family are all people who pay attention to the sense of ceremony, and they must change into new clothes inside and out for the New Year. got up, first sent a group message to all lovely friends to greet the New Year, and then went to help Comrade Lao Ye paste couplets.
It turned out that when the family lived in a bungalow, at this time, Mother Ye had to boil a pot of batter for pasting couplets, and the smell was very fragrant. After moving into the building, it was changed to transparent glue or double-sided tape. The couplets have also been reduced from three to one.
After pasting the couplet, Ye Ziyu washed his hands, went into the house and took his mobile phone to see if there was any reply, turned on the mobile phone, and the friends all replied, it seems that they all got up quite early, Ye Ziyu thought to himself and began to read. Yan Haoyu, Gu Xiangbei, Cheng Zheyu, Ji Xu and other boys' uninspired excerpts on the Internet. Zhou Xiaoqi replied: You kid, to be honest, did you send it in groups?
Xia Yao sent a literary and artistic New Year's greeting message, which was in line with her temperament.
Bai Yichen's message was the first to be sent, with four simple words: Happy New Year.
Just these four words, Ye Ziyu interpreted a little sweet taste, and sure enough, love fantasy is not a good thing.
Outside the door, Ye Ziyu's mother knocked on the door and called Ye Ziyu for breakfast, and at the dinner table, Ye's father asked Ye Ziyu if he still didn't keep the New Year with the family. Ye Ziyu replied that he was still New Year's Eve with those friends from last year. Mother Ye sighed, "It seems that your relationship is still good this year"
Father Ye also sighed, "Yes, friendship at this age is really precious"
Ye Ziyu was puzzled, "Why?" β
Ye's mother said, "The friendship in primary and secondary schools is too naΓ―ve, and the friendship in college may be mixed with interests, so your relationship in high school is the most valuable."
"Oh" Ye Ziyu seemed to understand and pleased the second elder of the Ye family.
"Why are you talking to your child about such profound things," Father Ye joked.
After eating, Ye Ziyu's family drove to his grandparents' house, the road in Chinese New Year's Eve was really blocked, although he was mentally prepared, he still felt very bored. Ye Ziyu complained while chatting with his friends with his mobile phone boringly. Discussing the New Year's Eve in the evening. After the congested section, the rest of the journey was relatively smooth, but it was still much later. On weekdays, the half-hour journey took 1 hour.
When they arrived at their grandparents' house, the adults sat in the living room chatting lively, Ye Ziyu went into the house to watch TV with his sister, and his younger brothers and sisters also came. A few people started playing poker. Around noon, the women of the family began to cook and stir-fry in the kitchen, and those who couldn't cook stayed in the living room to form two tables of mahjong.
The sound of mahjong rubbing sounded, and Ye Ziyu knew that their family's Spring Festival had officially begun. A few children got tired of playing cards and began to watch movies. Chatting, Ye Ziyu knew that his younger brother was also playing the same game, and the two of them started chatting about the game again. The sister and sister on the side were speechless.
"Ye Ziyu, why are you a little girl so obsessed with games," my sister said with hatred of iron and steel.
"That's it, I see you, sister, if you use 50% of your intelligence in your studies, you will definitely not be this grade" My sister also complained.
"The last person in the class has no right to criticize me," Ye Ziyu glanced at his sister.
The effect was good, and the two of them stopped talking. Ye Ziyu also made an appointment with his younger brother when he had time to come to a game. Dinner was prepared for a long time, and a few people watched a movie before they could get better, and then picked up the poker and started playing poker.
While she was having fun, her grandmother pushed the door and came in, "Which of you is going to the supermarket to buy some soy sauce?" β
When I pushed the door, I saw Ye Ziyu, Ye Ziqi and my sister constantly sticking white notes on their faces (punishment for losing), and my younger brother was smiling and taking pictures of the three of them. Laughed at the grandmother for a while, and saw that a few children were playing very happily, and wanted to push the door out.
"What to buy?" Ye Ziqi is the boss and asked.
"It's okay, you guys can play, I'll call your grandfather to go" Grandma waved her hand, not wanting to disturb a few children.
"I'll go," said the only brother who wasn't involved in the game.
"Don't, don't, you don't see each other a few times a year, let's play," Grandma said and closed the door. Several children continued to play cards.
When I got to the living room, my grandmother pushed my grandfather to "go to the supermarket to buy some soy sauce and ride a motorcycle, it is estimated that there are a lot of people in this supermarket, go early and return early" and hand my grandfather some change, and my grandma's grandfather, who has not refuted it all his life, will naturally not have any dissatisfaction and start dressing. When I was about to go out, my grandmother also told me to "ride carefully, the road is slippery in the cold"
Grandpa answered the hello and got dressed and went out. The family still plays their own and enjoys this rare reunion time. On weekdays, everyone is busy, going to work, in the field in the field, there is only this New Year's energy saving opportunity to gather, a few years ago my aunt caught up with the rising period, has not come back for 2/3 years for the New Year, this year is not so busy everyone, get together, naturally is very cherished.
Ye Ziyu lost a face full of notes, begged for mercy and changed his younger brother to play, and sat on the side and began to play with his mobile phone. In a small group of several of them, everyone called, "What time do you arrive?" β
"Let's go as usual, around half past seven to eight o'clock in the evening," Bai Yichen said.
"I'm pretty much the same, I'll go to Yichen's house to find him first and go with him" Yan Haoyu.
"Me too, I'm with Yaoyao, and our two families are still on the way," Gu Xiangbei replied.
"What about you, little fisherman?" Xia Yao asked.
"Why does it take more than 6 o'clock for our family to finish eating, it is estimated that I will arrive at about 8 o'clock, the Chinese New Year is too congested," Ye Ziyu replied.
"Enough of you, let me think with Yiran," Zhou Xiaoqi complained.
Zhou Xiaoqi has to go to her grandmother's house in the countryside every year for the Chinese New Year, and Liang Yiran has not come back from a trip outside, originally said that she would come back with them for the New Year's Eve, but because of some force majeure factors, there was no way to achieve it, and she was very regretful.
"Who told you to abandon the organization first" Ye Ziyu complained, glancing at the battery of the mobile phone, "Oops, my phone is going to run out of battery, I will charge it first, and say at night" After speaking, Ye Ziyu went to link the charging cable.
After answering the phone, Ye Ziyu began to watch his sister, sister and brother play cards, and after a while, Ye Ziyu's father pushed the door and came in, "Don't play for a few of you, get dressed and go out"
Several children were puzzled, and Ye Ziyu asked out loud, "What's wrong?" β
"Your grandfather has been out for almost 3 hours, and he hasn't come back yet, so it's time to come back even if he walks to the supermarket, so put on his clothes and go out to look for it."
Ye Ziyu didn't dare to delay, and followed everyone to put on his coat and prepare to go out. Everyone is assigned different roads downstairs, because grandma's house is in the center of the city about the same location, there are several supermarkets around, and everyone doesn't know which supermarket grandpa went to. Grandpa didn't bring his mobile phone, a few people divided the route, Ye Ziyu didn't take the mobile phone, and followed his sister and younger brother all the way.
On the way, I met people and asked if they had seen my grandfather. Ye Ziyu was a little anxious, she didn't dare to imagine what was going on, what Dad said was right, even if she walked, she should be back at this time when she went to the farthest supermarket nearby. She was a little anxious, and moved her sister to take her hand, "Sister, grandpa is fine, right?"
My sister, who has always been calm, also seems to be a little abnormal at this time, "Don't panic, it'll be fine." Although she is also flustered in her heart, she is the biggest after all, and she is now the backbone of their sister and younger brother, if they are all flustered, what should they do with their younger brothers and sisters? Ye Ziqi has always been so strict with herself.
Although he knew that his sister was comforting them, Ye Ziyu, who heard the result, still felt a lot more relieved, and the three sisters and brothers continued to look for it along their own routes, and after looking for about half an hour, Ye Ziqi's mobile phone rang. It was Ye Ziqi's mother who called, "Kiki, where are the three of you?" β
"We've arrived at Chunyang Road, what's wrong, did grandpa find it?" Ye Ziqi's voice revealed a hint of trembling.
Not for anything else, but she seemed to feel a little tired when she listened to her mother's voice, and it really didn't look like she was fine. Ye Ziyu and her younger brother looked at her expressions and became anxious. I kept praying for fear of hearing an answer I didn't want to know.
"Alas" sighed on the phone, and then said, "I'll tell you, don't worry, grandpa out of the supermarket suddenly flashed out of the corner, grandpa in order to avoid that person, dodged and fell into the ditch next to him, fainted, that person is also a good person, sent grandpa to the hospital, now the person has not woken up, we just found grandpa's motorcycle, asked the people around, that person left contact information, is rushing to the hospital, you see if a few of you also come together?" β
asked for the address, Ye Ziqi took a taxi on the side of the road, Ye Ziyu saw her anxious appearance and asked aloud, "Sister, what's wrong?" β
Ye Ziqi didn't have time to take care of anything else, so she just said, "Let's get in the car and talk about it, let's hurry up and take a taxi first"
Ye Ziyu and his younger brother still listened to Ye Ziqi's words very much, standing on the side of the road to help take a taxi, and after a while, they stopped a taxi, Ye Ziqi reported the address, Ye Ziyu was very frightened, "Hospital?" What happened to Grandpa? β
Ye Ziqi narrated the incident to the two people, and comforted everyone, "It shouldn't be fine, my mother said that there is no big problem depending on the damage to the motorcycle, and it should be fine when the person wakes up" comforted the two people.
Ye Ziyu and her younger brother didn't speak, what was her brother thinking Ye Ziyu didn't know, this was the second time she rushed to the hospital anxiously, she didn't like that place very much, especially this time it was her dear grandfather who lived in. I didn't know how to comfort myself along the way, so I could only pray over and over again: it's okay, it'll be okay.
