(39) Chinese New Year's Eve

After that day, I stayed home alone for two days before it was Chinese New Year's Eve. At six o'clock in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve, I was pulled out of the bed by my mother, and then followed her and my father to clean the house. By about one o'clock in the afternoon, Fu Chengwen's family arrived at my house.

There are four adults busy at home, and there is basically nothing to do with me and Fu Chengwen. So we both hid in my room, he played his PSP, and I read my novels, without interfering with each other.

When I was a child, I would probably play with Fu Chengwen during the Chinese New Year, such as building blocks or playing house. But as we got older, we gradually said goodbye to this kind of childlike play. As soon as these things disappeared, it meant that the only bond that bound us together also disappeared, and without this bond, we both began to go our separate ways and never played together again.

Fortunately, Fu Chengwen and I both like to be quiet when we are alone, and we are really familiar like brothers and sisters, so I never felt embarrassed at this time, but enjoyed it a little. After all, if we are both at home, we will inevitably receive the poison of our parents, so getting together in this way will reduce their nagging.

About two hours later, the smell of food from the kitchen wafted into my room, and then my mother told the two of us to go to dinner outside the house.

From 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., I barely ate a steamed bun, and with a morning of manual labor, I was already hungry. When I heard my mother's words, I felt as if I had been redeemed, and I immediately jumped up from the bed and rushed to the bathroom. After I washed my hands, I didn't care about Fu Chengwen, I jumped directly to the kitchen, began to help them prepare dishes and chopsticks, and by the way, I set the dishes on the table.

This is probably the happiest time of my Chinese New Year's Eve, of course, not only because I like to eat, but also because the food cooked by Fu's mother is really delicious. Every time I eat the dishes made by Fu's mother, I have a special feeling of happiness, and today I can eat the twelve dishes she made at once, and I naturally feel more satisfied.

It's just that before eating, we have to listen to the four parents talk to us in a routine way. In previous years, the conversation was generally about hoping that we would be healthy and grow up healthy and happy, but this year, when Fu's mother took the lead, I felt that the atmosphere was not quite right.

Probably influenced by too many parents of the same age, this time Fu's mother's tone was much more serious than before. She was like our homeroom teacher, analyzing our current situation one by one, and at the end, solemnly expressed her expectations for us.

Among the four parents, only Fu's mother attaches the most importance to the two of us' studies, so she said these words to the two of us at this time, which did not surprise me and Fu Chengwen. Not only was we not surprised, but the two of us even felt that it was very normal, and our parents were worried that there was always nothing wrong with this, so Fu Chengwen and I humbly accepted her reprimand, and nodded to Fu's mother together, saying that the two of us would work harder next semester and strive to be admitted to the ideal high school when we graduated from junior high school.

Mama Fu was very satisfied with the attitude of the two of us and nodded at us. Then he glanced at Fu's father. So Dad Fu immediately took over the right to speak, and then, as before, instructed us to pay attention to rest when studying, and to pay attention to our physical health, he would take good care of the two of us with the other three people.

When I got to my parents and my parents, they basically didn't say anything serious. One told us that they had planned to take the two of us to play during next summer's vacation, and the other added the conditions for going out to play, that is, Fu Chengwen and I must be admitted to the top ten in the grade, otherwise whoever doesn't get in will stay at home and watch the family alone.

For people like Fu Chengwen, who are ranked first in the grade every time, this condition is useless, but for me, who has never been in the top 50 in the grade, I think they may just not want to take me there. But out of politeness, I'm not here to debunk their "real thoughts". Instead, I made up my mind that even if it was just to go out and have fun, I would be in the top 10 of my grade.

I can't help it, because one of my hobbies is traveling. This is the last time I went out on a graduation trip with Fu Chengwen and Cao Yunxiao, I only discovered my hobby. It's just that I didn't expect that for me, a person who likes the new and hates the old, it would last so long.

After all four parents spoke, we officially started eating this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. I'm already hungry with my chest and back, so when I eat, I can't wait to eat. So much so that Fu Chengwen on the side kept pouring water for me, for fear that I would accidentally choke if I ate too hard.

Soon, Fu Chengwen and I solved the problem of food and clothing. But because the four parents "finally got together", they naturally wanted to have two drinks, so Fu Chengwen and I got off the table first and completely gave them the space for chatting. By the time they had eaten and drunk enough, it was almost time for the Spring Festival Gala to begin. The two mothers began to make dumplings with the stuffing and noodles again, and Fu Chengwen and I stayed in front of the TV with the two fathers to watch the Spring Festival Gala.

In fact, for me, the Spring Festival Gala was not too attractive, so when the two mothers were ready to make dumplings, I volunteered to learn how to make dumplings with them.

In terms of hands-on ability, I obviously inherited my mom's basic skills. After I followed Fu's mother's instructions to make ten dumplings, I barely made a dumpling. Fortunately, Fu's mother didn't dislike my clumsiness, and patiently taught me this skill almost hand-in-hand, and then followed me to make nearly 200 dumplings.

By the time we finished talking and laughing, it was almost early in the morning. Fu Chengwen replaced me and began to help clean up the table and prepare to eat dumplings. I took the opportunity to lie down in the house for a while, ready to eat again.

Just as I was lying in bed, my phone rang suddenly. I picked it up and took a look, it turned out to be Cao Yunxiao.

"Xiaobai Xiaobai, after hanging up the phone for a while, you must look out the window after waiting for two minutes, remember?"

As soon as I picked up the phone, Cao Yunxiao's voice hurriedly came to my ears. I only felt inexplicable after listening to it, and I thought to myself that he didn't know what to do. However, he didn't give me any chance to ask questions, and hung up the phone before I could speak. I lay on the bed for another two minutes with my phone in my hand to roughly understand what he had just said, and at this moment, many beautiful fireworks suddenly exploded outside the window.
