Chapter 157: Once Upon a Time and From Now to the Present
(one hundred and fifty-seven)
Ye Wenyu nodded, and the two of them quickened their pace, marching forward at a trotting speed in the knife-like north wind, and soon arrived at the hotel, entered the box, and the air conditioning was turned on in the hotel, and the two of them warmed up.
Because it is the Chinese New Year, Cai Wenchuan ordered a lot of dishes, there are dumplings, he said that dumplings are like ingots, so he should eat more dumplings during the New Year, symbolizing wealth in the coming year; He ordered a fish, symbolizing that there was more than enough every year; I ordered rice cakes again, representing "step by step": I also ordered red meat, which represents "good luck" in the coming year. ”
In short, a big table full of people, even if two people are big stomachs, they will definitely not be able to eat it all.
Ye Wenyu saw such a thoughtful Cai Wenchuan, an associate professor at a key university, all the dishes had to be auspicious for the New Year, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, she couldn't help but think of her former home, although there were only two people, she and her mother, but her mother has always been so superstitious, all the dishes revolve around the symbol of getting rich and making a fortune in the coming year, so when it comes to the New Year, their family always has to eat a lot of dumplings and a lot of fish, as well as a lot of leftovers, because the New Year eats leftovers, It symbolizes that the family will never have enough to eat.
But they were still just as poor, her mother had been poor all her life, and she had been poor for the first half of her life.
The reason why Brother Wen has the same habits as her family may be because the two families were neighbors back then, and the economic conditions of the Cai family are similar to her family, and there is a difference between half a catty and eight taels, but I heard that the Cai family developed later, and I don't know if it's true or not.
Ye Wenyu was curious in her heart, but Cai Wenchuan didn't seem to want to say more about his family's situation, so she didn't ask about it. She thought to herself, the Cai family had better not be too rich, otherwise, she might not be able to enter the Cai family's door in the future and be his daughter-in-law, after all, she is a poor girl.
However, Cai Wenchuan opened up like this, which reminded her of the warm scenes in the past, and she had a sense of happiness.
Under the yellow light of the crab shell in the restaurant, Cai Wenchuan, who was busy giving her vegetables, looked particularly good-looking, this handsome man, every time he saw her, he would always think of the mild winter sunshine, and he would warm people's hearts with special ironing.
Ye Wenyu thought that it was the time of the New Year, she was homeless, so she could only spend the New Year at school, what about Brother Wen, he obviously had parents, why didn't he go back to his home?
Is it because of her, then, how can she be virtuous?
She wanted to ask him, and then tried to persuade him, but when she saw him happily Zhang Luobucai, she also smiled slightly and cooperated with him, and that night, she ate a lot.
Later, there was still a lot left, so she asked the waiter to pack it, and she definitely couldn't waste so much delicious food.
After eating, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, Cai Wen settled the account and said to Ye Wenyu: "Let's go, set off fireworks." ”
Ye Wenyu nodded, tame as a sheep, the two of them walked side by side under the moonlit night, the bright moonlight reflected their long shadows, the two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, the air was almost pulled out of sugar, Ye Wenyu lowered her head, looking at the shadow of them walking together, the shadow seemed to be a lover, snuggled together, she pursed her lips and smiled sweetly.
Walking back to Q University, the campus for the holidays was empty, if Ye Wenyu was alone, she would definitely not dare to visit such a campus at night, but at this moment, with Cai Wenchuan by her side, she was not afraid.
Gradually, I became happy, holding a fireworks stick, jumping and jumping like a little girl.
Cai Wenchuan accompanied her, pasting couplets again, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and now the two of them set off fireworks together, she already has a very good feeling of the New Year, in the usual years, spending the New Year with her mother is not as happy as it is now.
Contented, she is a person who is easily satisfied. Someone once said that for a lonely person, give a little warmth, and she will be very happy.
Cai Wenchuan is a non-smoker man, but in order to light fireworks sticks for her, he still bought a lighter in advance at the school's small supermarket.
Now the two of them are standing on the playground of the school, Ye Wenyu is holding a fireworks stick, Cai Wenchuan lights up the lighter, because there has been a northerly wind blowing faintly, the fire on the lighter has been swaying, but both of them are laughing, he pressed the lighter repeatedly, she took the fireworks stick very seriously, and tried stupidly repeatedly.
But in the end, it was finally lit, and the fireworks stick made a "whoosh" sound, and sparks popped out, and the sparks were a little bit, brilliant and bright, and they were extraordinarily dazzling in the night when they couldn't see their fingers.
Ye Wenyu screamed "ah", her face was full of surprise, she was like a child, bent down slightly, tried her best to stretch her arm holding the fireworks stick straight, and watched with a smile as the sparks changed from one point to two or three points, and finally to countless points, she took the fireworks stick and waved it slowly, under her wave, it seemed that a brilliant fireworks rain began to fall in front of her, bright like stars in the sky, gems in the ground, and lover's eyes.
She felt like she was back in her childhood.
The chest was filled with joy.
Cai Wenchuan stood silently aside, looking at the happy girl beside her, her face was already very beautiful, but now under the embellishment and reflection of dazzling fireworks, it looks even more beautiful, and her beautiful face is shining.
He saw her happy, he himself was very happy, he enjoyed this time very much, his biggest wish is to hope that Xiaoyu can be as relaxed and happy as a little girl for the rest of her life, because in reality, she is too bitter, as if the whole person is soaked in yellow lotus water, all the time, she has lived more tired than an adult man, for her, the smile on her face is too rare.
When a fireworks stick was lit and the originally brilliant world returned to darkness, Cai Wen immediately lit the lighter again and helped Ye Wenyu light a fireworks stick again, the light of the fireworks was dazzling again, Ye Wenyu waved, and a bright circle of light appeared under her arm, and in the brilliant light, Xiaoyu's smiling face appeared in front of him again.
When all the fireworks sticks were gone, Ye Wenyu sighed happily and said with a smile to Cai Wenchuan: "Brother Wen, I'm so happy." ”
It seemed like she hadn't been so happy in a long time.
Cai Wenchuan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand in the dark, caught Ye Wenyu's cold hand, put it in his big hand, and said to her very gently: "I'm also very happy." ”
He didn't want to go home, and he spent the New Year alone in the young teacher's apartment, but he was definitely not as happy as he was with a beautiful woman on the side as he is now.
Because he liked the girl next to him, so he wanted to spoil her, so he squatted down in front of her and said to her, "Come, I'll carry you." ”
"Really?" Ye Wenyu was very pleased, then looked at herself, frowned worriedly and said, "I'm very heavy." She was as fat as a pig, and she was afraid that she would fall on his back like Tarzan pressing on top of him, and it would crush him in an instant.
