Ninety-seven, the lonely Chinese New Year's Eve
After Zhang Nanyan lived in Zheng's house, she learned that Zheng Fan and Xia Baiping did not sleep together. Xia Baiping lives in the master bedroom, Zheng Fan lives in the second bedroom, and in addition to a study, there is also a small guest room for the nanny.
The old house in the 80s could be so spacious, but the school built a high-standard family building in order to attract highly educated teachers.
I heard that it was originally planned to build a single-door single-family small western-style building according to the expert building of the National Academy of Sciences, but later the small western-style building was not completed for various reasons, so it had to be changed to a large suite with an area of 120 square meters and four bedrooms and two living rooms. Even so, this was unique among the many universities in the capital at that time. It is said that only those with overseas qualifications are eligible to live here.
Zhang Nanyan hadn't received Lin Dong's message for a week, only when he first arrived home, he sent her a pager to report that she was safe, and Zhang Nanyan sent several pagers one after another to ask about his situation.
"Didn't you say there was an emergency at home?"
"Is it taken care of?"
"What the hell is going on?"
……
Lin Dong only replied: "It's not good to talk about it in detail, let's talk about it when we meet." ”
After that, he was never heard from again. No matter how worried Zhang Nanyan was, there was no way to do it.
She couldn't help but think that if only she had a mobile phone, she could keep in touch with Brother Lin at any time.
On the day of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the house is cleaned again, the materials for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner are ready, the dumpling skin is rolled, the dumpling filling is adjusted, and the New Year is kept at night.
After everything was ready, Zhang Nanyan went out with a thermos rice bucket.
The rice bucket is filled with small fish and minced meat and batter batter to make minced fish, which is the Chinese New Year's Eve meal she specially prepared for "Dabai".
She didn't forget the friends with the fat cat "Da Bai", and often made fish rice for Da Bai to eat.
When they arrived at the garden where Dabai frequented, three stray cats were already waiting there.
Zhang Nanyan didn't see Dabai, and sighed in her heart, the extra rice in the cat's bowl yesterday had been eaten. However, there are a lot of stray cats on campus, and I can't be sure if Dabai has been here.
Smelling the fragrance of fish porridge, three stray cats circled around Zhang Nanyan's feet, meowing as they turned.
Zhang Nanyan hurriedly poured the fish porridge into the cat's bowl.
The three stray cats swarmed up and ate their heads.
Zhang Nanyan didn't give up and looked at the surrounding grass.
Suddenly, there was a small rustling sound in the grass.
Zhang Nanyan shouted in surprise: "Dabai! ”
"Meow~" A cat meow came out.
"It's not a big white." Zhang Nanyan's heart sank: "Da Bai will only scream 'meow', and he won't call it like this." ”
Sure enough, an orange kitten came out of the grass and looked at Zhang Nanyan vigilantly. Seeing that the other cats were eating vigorously, it cautiously walked up and ate them.
The four cats were fed, some of them lay at her feet and rolled on their bellies, and some of them swooped out and disappeared.
Looking at the cat coquettish in front of her feet, Zhang Nanyan squatted down and touched it, and the cat was even happier.
"Dabai won't be like that. It is neither cold nor flattering, it is an independent and self-respecting cat, and getting along with people is more like an equal conversation. ”
Zhang Nanyan wanted to be revealed even more.
I haven't seen Dabai since a week ago. The last time I saw Dabai, it was basking in the sun, Zhang Nanyan brought cat food, it slept comfortably, squinting its eyes and flicking its tail gently, unwilling to get up and eat. Several stray cats watched from afar, opened their eyes, and barked at them lazily, as if to say, "This cat doesn't want to eat now, you can eat." "The stray cats rushed up and ate the cats.
Zhang Nanyan nagged at Da Bai for a long time that day, talking about her worries about Lin Dong and the uneasiness in her heart, and Da Bai had been with her.
Unexpectedly, from that day on, she had never seen Dabai again. She was a little worried and a little lost.
Dabai is a maverick cat, it has its own things to do!
However, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, don't you even want to see me?
The lively Chinese New Year's Eve has finally arrived.
Making dumplings, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, firecrackers crackling outside the window.
On TV, the Spring Festival Gala is being staged lively.
The sound of firecrackers drowned out the sound of singing and dancing on TV, but no one cared.
Zheng Fan was reading a book with him.
Xia Baiping stared at Zheng Fan at first, and gradually lowered her eyes, as if her consciousness had been scattered.
Zhang Nanyan had a lot of worries in her heart, and she was worried about Lin Dong for a while, not knowing what happened to him, what was the situation?
After a while, she will think of her parents and younger brother again, and she doesn't know if her brother has successfully become a soldier, and if her younger brother is gone, only her parents will be left alone for the New Year. I don't know if Huang Cripple will give up after taking 50,000 yuan from Huang Cripple's family. Will Mom and Dad worry that she misses her? Or will you be angry with her and scold her?
The deafening sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out!
The windows are illuminated by the sparks of firecrackers!
The sound of firecrackers pulled the consciousness of the three people back.
The jubilant host on TV is counting down to zero. Festive music was playing on the TV, everyone in the camera was laughing, and the roar of firecrackers was in her ears, and Zhang Nanyan was in a trance.
"Okay, let's rest, I have to get up early tomorrow to go to the temple fair."
Zheng Fan put away the book and stood up.
Zhang Nanyan came back to her senses and hurriedly got up. Xia Baiping raised her eyes gloomily, and the corners of her mouth pulled up, as if it was a smile.
Zheng Fan went back to his room to sleep.
Zhang Nanyan pushed Xia Baiping back to the bedroom.
After settling Xia Baiping, she came out of the bedroom. The living room in front of Zhang Nanyan is still tidy, no one eats the melon seeds and sugar on the table, the ground is clean, not like other families at all, the whole family sits around eating melon seeds and watching TV to keep the New Year, leaving a field of melon seed skin and sugar paper.
When the TV is on, it is lively and festive, and when the TV is turned off, it is cold and silent. It turns out that the excitement of Chinese New Year's Eve is all made by television.
Zheng Fan and Xia Baiping, although they are sitting together, they are just making a reunion. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, they are going to visit the temple fair; On the second day of the Lunar New Year, I want to go to the flower market; On the third day of the Lunar New Year, I went to see the garden party; On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, go to a concert; On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, I went to watch a drama. They try to arrange the holiday rich and lively, but the more compact the itinerary, the more lonely the people's hearts.
Zhang Nanyan turned off the lights, and at the same time, a firework bloomed outside the window.
Fireworks are launched one after another, and the night sky is lit up with red and green brilliance.
Zhang Nanyan walked to the window and looked out, it was a boy alone downstairs setting off fireworks. He held his phone and shouted, "Did you hear that?" This is the fireworks I lit for you, Happy New Year! ”
The fireworks are very beautiful, Zhang Nanyan remembered the fireworks show she watched with Lin Dong on Chinese New Year's Eve, she missed Lin Dong very much, and wanted to say Happy New Year to him in person.
If only there was a mobile phone......
