Chapter 96: Fireworks Bloom

At six o'clock in the evening, the heavy snow in Qibao Town really reached the level of a blizzard.

The Spring Festival Gala on TV has not yet started, and the news is interspersed with weather announcements from time to time, reminding the audience to pay attention to safety and not to go out if they can.

Lu Li and they watched the news to know that almost all the country was snowing on Chinese New Year's Eve, and this part of Qibao Town was the heaviest, and it was said that they had not seen such a large amount of snow in fifty years.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner had already begun to be eaten for a while, and looking at the situation in the weather forecast, many people who could not join the group with their families began to leave the table to talk to their families on the phone.

The little Wang with a broken mouth had just returned to the eating house after making a phone call, and when he saw the three members of Lu Li's family sitting there eating peacefully, he came over and said with a smile, "Director He, I really envy you, we can't spend Chinese New Year's Eve with our families tonight, but you can be with your family, so envious!" ”

Lu Li was annoyed when he saw him, but today's occasion, which requires harmony and joy, can't show it, so he simply ignores him, anyway, he didn't say these words to himself.

She poured a little more red wine into her father's wine glass, then raised her wine glass and raised it at her parents, "Dad, Mom, let's drink one in a family of three!" ”

Lu Guowei immediately responded and raised his glass, He Linxi also raised it, and glanced at Xiao Wang, who was standing aside waiting for her to speak, "Xiao Wang, thank you, our family is going to have a toast, you hurry up and eat." ”

Lu Li couldn't help laughing, and didn't look at Xiao Wang's expression now.

When the wine glasses of the three people touched one place crisply, Xiao Wang walked away with a sneer. Lu Li finished drinking and looked towards where Lin was sitting.

Lin Lin sat with several main members of the relocation team, because the team leader accompanied the experts to the provincial capital, and the temporary person in charge here arranged Lin Lin, so in addition to eating with everyone tonight, he also had to take care of trivial matters and small affairs, Lu Li always felt that he didn't eat well.

But there were too many people tonight, and she had to accompany her parents, and it was inconvenient to sit next to him to take care of him, so she had to look at him from time to time.

At eight o'clock, the Spring Festival Gala, a must-have project every year, officially began, although the big guys complained that the party was not interesting, but when the time came, they still had to see it.

He Linxi glanced at the Spring Festival Gala on TV a few times, and then left to answer the phone, Lu Li looked at her back as she walked out, and turned her head to ask her father Lu Guowei, when will the fireworks go out.

Lu Guowei also glanced at He Linxi's back, "Listen to your mother's orders, I don't have the final say." I don't know if I drank a little too much, Lu Guowei spoke in a somewhat rushed tone.

Lu Li glanced at his father's wine glass, and was about to persuade him to drink the wine here, but before he could open his mouth, he suddenly saw Lin Lin walking towards them with a glass of wine.

She hurriedly stood up and smiled at Lin Lone.

Lu Guowei also saw Lin Lonely, he sat still and didn't move, but first raised the wine glass in his hand, and shook it at Lin Lonely.

Lu Li knew when he saw him like this that his father had really drunk too much. I haven't seen him drink too much for many years, and it seems that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve, my father is really in a good mood.

Lin Lin had already come over, and what he and Lu Guowei said first was a few polite words, and after speaking, he was about to have a drink with Lu Guowei, and Lu Li immediately stood beside him and coughed.

Lin Lin turned his eyes and asked her what was wrong.

Lu Li looked at his father, who raised his glass and staggered to stand up, winked at Lin Lone, and then looked at his father again, meaning to tell Lin Lone that Lu Guowei had drunk too much.

Lin Siaos understood what she meant.

He quietly clinked glasses with Lu Guowei, helped Lu Guowei to sit down after drinking, and sat down in the position where He Linxi was sitting before, he asked Lu Guowei, "Director He, I saw her here just now." ”

"Well, Mr. Lin wants to have a drink with my wife, right, I can drink with you for her, come, pour the wine on the ......" Lu Guowei said, reaching out to get the wine bottle and preparing to pour himself another glass.

As soon as Lu Li stretched out his hand, he took the wine bottle away first, and Lu Guowei glared at her, "Why don't you let your father drink with Teacher Lin for your mother?" ”

After he finished speaking, he laughed again, wanting to continue to take the wine bottle in Lu Li's hand. Lu Li dodged away, turned his head to look at Lin Shizhi and frowned, thinking that he understood what he meant, and would not sit down with his father and continue to drink, but it turned out to be like this.

Lin Lin knew that Lu Li was complaining about him with his eyes, he pretended not to see anything, and looked at Lu Guowei with a flat face, "Teacher Lu, I have to have a drink with many people later, Director He will save this cup first, and I will come over later." ”

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Lu Guowei to speak, he stood up and left.

Lu Guowei looked at his rapidly flashing back, and a cold glint crossed his eyes, but when Lu Li looked at him, his eyes had returned to the drunken hazy state after drinking too much.

Lu Li didn't see anything, but just sat down and persuaded his father not to drink it yet, and when he really drank too much, he couldn't go to set off fireworks for his mother.

Lu Guowei didn't embarrass his daughter, nodded and agreed, he said that he was dizzy and wanted to drink water, so he asked Lu Li to bring him mineral water, Lu Li took the wine bottle and walked away.

As soon as Lu Li walked away, Lu Guowei received two new WeChat messages on his mobile phone. One was sent by Su Yan, and the other was He Linxi.

He looked at the two WeChats, and after hesitating with his fingers in the air, he first looked at what He Linxi had sent.

- After everyone finishes singing, let's go out and set off the fireworks, which can be regarded as the end of our relationship.

Lu Guowei's eyes lost the misty state just now, and after he looked at it twice, he replied to He Linxi - no problem.

After replying, I clicked on the one sent by Su Yan again. Su Yan's WeChat didn't speak, but just sent a good New Year's expression.

Lu Guowei didn't reply to Su Yan, and as soon as he closed WeChat, Lu Li came back with two bottles of water.

At ten o'clock, the singing contest on the side of the relocation team and film crew had reached its climax.

There is also a song, it is the turn of Lu Li and He Linxi's mother and daughter to sing together.

Lu Li stood in front of the big screen projected on the wall, smiling and listening to the songs that others were singing, and He Linxi was standing beside her, with a rare big smile on his face.

At the end of the song, everyone applauded to welcome Director He's mother and daughter to the stage.

The song they sang was selected by He Linxi, a pop song ten years ago, which is one of the few good songs that Lu Li can sing.

She was quite surprised when she chose the song, but she didn't expect her mother to know what song she was good at.

The mother and daughter started singing, and the two listeners who listened most seriously around were Lu Guowei and Lin Lone. Halfway through the singing, Song Yichen was also busy coming in to participate, he stood at the back with his back against the wall, clapping his hands to Lu Li and the others to join the beat.

When he was about to finish singing, Song Yichen moved to Lin Lin and sat down, Lin Lin smiled when he saw him coming, leaned over and asked in Song Yichen's ear, "Zuo Na, why didn't you see her coming." ”

Song Yichen also leaned over and tilted his head and said, "She's at home with my dad, and I'll come over when my dad sleeps, and I guess I won't be able to catch up with the singing." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the chorus between Lu Li and his mother ended, everyone applauded warmly, Lin Lin and Song Yichen also clapped their hands, and Lu Li's eyes soon found Lin Lin in a crowd of people.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

At the end of the singing session, Lu Guowei pulled Song Yichen to help him, and went to the courtyard of Tianle Palace with the prepared fireworks, and they found the most empty place to prepare for fireworks.

Everyone knew that they all came out and waited to see, although the snow outside was still falling, but it did not affect everyone's good mood at all.

Lu Li also took her mother out and waited, her eyes still searched for Lin Lone's location in the crowd from time to time.

But after looking around this time, I didn't see Lin Lone, probably because he was busy with something else, Lu Li knew that he was responsible tonight, so he didn't think much about it, and was going to accompany his mother to watch his father set off fireworks.

Lu Guowei was still preparing, Song Yichen was busy with him, and the injured hand was obviously much better, and he was able to make some movements.

He Linxi suddenly turned his head to look at the woman beside him, "Lu Li, do you know how I met your father?" I don't think I told you about it. ”

Lu Li immediately replied, "I haven't talked about it, how did you know each other." She didn't know that her mother, who had never told her much about it, suddenly took the initiative to mention it tonight.

He Linxi had a very shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, "I met your dad because I watched the fireworks." ”

Lu Li then understood why her mother told her father that she wanted to watch fireworks, it turned out that there was this allusion, she looked at the smile on the corner of her mother's mouth, and she laughed too.

She felt that this Chinese New Year's Eve spent by the whole family in Qibao Town could be the beginning of a new world in some part of her life.

The sound of "bang bang" suddenly exploded in the snowy night sky, and Lu Li and everyone looked up at the sky, and the first fireworks had been lit.

Lu Li looked at the splendor of the fireworks, hoping that the most missing part of his life would get better and better from now on.

When the new fireworks bloomed in the night sky, He Linxi raised his hand and dusted off the snowflakes that fell on Lu Li's head, Lu Li felt it and turned his head to look at her with a smile, "Mom, I like this, it's so beautiful!" ”

He Linxi nodded, and also raised his eyes to see the fireworks blooming in the sky. This is the second time Lu Guowei has set off fireworks for her, and it should be the last in this life.

After Song Yichen helped Lu Guowei set off five or six fireworks in a row, he ran to the side to rest.

He picked up his phone and looked at it, and when the fireworks were set off just now, Zuo Na sent him a WeChat message - I want to build a snowman, when will it end over there?

Song Yichen closed his eyes expressionlessly, and when another new firework exploded in the sky, he opened his eyes and lowered his head back to WeChat-It's almost over, I'll tell you when it's over. Did my dad sleep?

Zona quickly came back - fell asleep. Then I'll wait for you, by the way, don't eat too much over there, the family has your favorite glutinous rice meatballs, you come back and eat this.

Song Yichen did not reply.

Song Yichen, who returned to the crowd, had a melodious smile on the corner of his mouth, Lu Li happened to see him coming, so he called him to come over and talk, people came, Lu Li looked at him and smiled very happily and asked, "Why are you so happy?" Is it because I'm going to take the Mukden exam soon? By the way, what about Zuo Na? ”

Song Yichen glanced at the sky and replied with a smile, "Yes, we will go over together, and when Sister Particle goes home, we will gather in Fengtian." ”

Lu Li was not very interested, "Okay, I'll talk about it then." ”

She looked around, but still didn't see Lin Lin appear, this time she finally couldn't bear it anymore, Lu Li picked up her mobile phone and called Lin Lin directly.

But Lin Lin never answered.

The fireworks were basically over at this time, Lu Guowei called Lu Li to her side, she had to put down the phone first, and when she turned around and wanted to call her mother too, she saw He Linxi listening to the phone on the side.

Lu Guowei looked at Lu Li who ran over and asked her if the fireworks were good-looking, but his eyes kept staring at He Linxi not far away. Lu Li noticed his father's sight, and happily hugged Lu Guowei's arm, "Dad, do you regret that you will leave tomorrow?" ”

Lu Guowei smiled and did not say anything.

When Lu Li wanted to continue to laugh at her father, the mobile phone vibrated in her pocket, she thought it was Lin Lin looking for her and quickly took it out to see, but she didn't expect to see what Su Yan sent her> Su Yan asked her if Lu Guowei was together, she sent Lu Guowei WeChat calls but didn't respond, I don't know if something happened, so I came to Lu Li to ask.

Lu Li snorted coldly without making a sound, and directly raised the phone to his father for him to see, "Aunt Su is looking for you, why don't you ignore her?" ”

"I was busy setting off fireworks just now and didn't hear it, okay, I know, then I'll go and call Aunt Su first." Lu Guowei said, took his mobile phone and walked away to make a call.

Song Yichen suddenly shouted at Lu Li at this time, "Sister Particle! Can you come and help me! ”

Lu Li nodded, and when he saw Song Yichen standing at the door of the kitchen, he went straight over.

"What can I help you?" Lu Li asked Song Yichen.

Song Yichen looked back at the steaming kitchen outside, "We're about to cook dumplings, it's a bit of a shortage of manpower, Brother Lin doesn't know where to go, can Sister Particle help with the dumplings?" ”

Lu Li felt that this work was not difficult, so he happily agreed and followed Song Yichen into the kitchen.

Song Yichen was really busy, he just told Lu Li how to help put dumplings into the pot, and he had to take care of other things when he turned around, and when he ate the dumplings after twelve o'clock, he had to make a few new cold dishes.

He was injured in one hand and his combat effectiveness decreased a lot, and there were not enough people in the kitchen, the more busy he was, the more anxious he became, and he received Zuo Na ten on his mobile phone> and when the dumplings were cooked, he counted down to twelve o'clock immediately, and the blizzard in Qibao Town finally stopped.

The heavy snow almost completely blocked the back door of Tianle Palace.

When Lin Lin stepped on the thick snow under his feet and struggled towards the back door, he saw a thin figure standing at the back door, and Lin Lin quickly recognized who it was.

"Zona!" He shouted at the figure, and Zona was startled and turned her head to look at him.

Zuo Na just saw that it was Lin Lin who was calling herself, and before she could answer, she saw that Lin Lin was followed by two people, both men, both wearing police cotton hats on their heads.

"Brother Lin Lone, why are you here, not in there?" Zuo Na called out to Lin Lin in confusion, but her eyes kept staring at the two behind him.

Lin Lin couldn't explain it to her, so he smiled and looked back at the two police officers who were following him, "I'll be there soon, let's eat dumplings with us later." ”

The two police officers smiled and said thank you, and followed Lin Lin to continue to the back door. The snow was so heavy that everyone had used all their strength to walk such a short distance, and when they got in front of Zuo Na, they all opened their mouths and gasped.

"How did you get through such a heavy snowfall? Song Yichen went back after he was busy, it should be soon. Lin Lin looked at Zuo Na's somewhat embarrassed body, knowing how difficult it was for her to come all the way.

Zuo Na's eyes couldn't help but look at the two policemen, and she was a little absent-minded when she heard what Lin Xiao said, and after answering vaguely, she suddenly sneezed.

Lin Lin didn't speak again, and together with the two policemen, he cleared the snow at the back door, and when he got enough people to walk over, he stopped, and called Zuo Na to go in together.

Walking into the courtyard of Tianle Palace, Zuo Na suddenly said to Lin Lin next to her that she was here waiting to build a snowman with Song Yichen.

"Well, you should build a snowman with such a big snow." Lin Xiao said, and suddenly remembered Lu Li, and remembered the day he watched the aurora with her.

"Wait a while, call Sister Lu Li too, let's get it together." Zuo Na looked at Lin Lin and asked.

Lin Lin quickly replied, "I won't be involved, I have to deal with some things with the two police officers later, you can call Lu Li together." ”

As he spoke, the speed of his feet increased significantly.

Zuo Na stood in the snow that didn't reach her calf, she didn't know why, after hearing Lin Lin say that she wanted two policemen to deal with something, she suddenly felt a layer of shiver, and her knees were weak.

"Why don't you leave?" Lin Lin turned around and called her, and the two policemen also stopped and looked back at Zuo Na.

Zuo Na put a hand into the pocket of her down jacket, which stuffed a stack of paper money that she had brought out of her home with great difficulty, and she was suddenly worried that these things would accidentally fall out and be seen by the two policemen.

"Here we are." Zuo Na agreed, forced out a little smile and looked at Lin Lin and them, forcing herself to continue walking.

When they finally walked to the room where they had Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tonight, the dumplings had not yet been cooked, and everyone saw Lin Li, who had disappeared for a long time, appear, and brought two policemen over, both of whom came to ask what was going on.

Lin Lin glanced at the people who came around, Lu Li was not there.

Xiao Wang was also in the crowd who came to ask about the situation, he looked at Lin Lin as if he was looking for someone, so he smiled and said to Lin Li, "Teacher Lin, Lu Li is helping to cook dumplings in the kitchen." ”

Lin Lin glanced at Xiao Wang, smiled lightly and bowed his head at him, "Director He, do you know where she is?" ”
