When I arrived at City A, it happened to be the third day of the Chinese New Year. The usually bustling streets seem to be much deserted. The occasional passerby carries a gift bag in his hand. The exchange of courtesies and exchanges advocated by the Chinese is most obvious in the new 'spring' festival.

"You're going back, aren't you?" Yan Juan sighed in his heart the moment before the car arrived at the building, but he still had a smile on his face.

"Yes." Yan Yixin held Yan Yixin's hand. "I'm going back to make a 'handover' of things, and everyone has had a hard time this New Year. The workers are still working overtime, and they are all paid three times their wages. So there are still a lot of people who stay. By the time of the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, we should have enough products on the market. ”

Yan Juan pushed him with a reluctant smile: "Then you can go back, what are you still rubbing here!" ”

"I'll come back to you later."

"I think, your Yan family should have a lot of entertainment, don't worry about me. In fact, I am used to spending the New Year alone. Yan Juan saw his concern, and shrugged his shoulders in a chic manner, "It's a big deal, I'll go and 'squeeze' Lu Xiang, anyway, Ling Ziwei is not here, and it just happens that the two lonely people are together." ”

"I'll be here as soon as I can. Yan Yixin sent her to the 'door' of the building. 'Handed over' again.

"Don't force it. Yan Juan said seriously, "We have been following each other for the past few days, and it is normal to be separated for two days. Your Yan family has a lot of things to do, and you have company affairs to do, so I happened to be at home to recuperate for two days. Hang around anywhere, and you will 'mix' to work on the eighth day of junior high school. ”

Yan Yixin suppressed her smile, nodded in agreement, and hugged her over to kiss her goodbye. Took the suitcase for her.

"This one is very light, I'll just take it myself. I know you're going to have something to do, so go back. Yan Juan changed the box, and it was not even the size that had to be checked, and Yan Juan thought that it was easy for him to pick it up.

"Okay, I'll call you later." Yan Yixin reluctantly said a few more words before instructing the driver to drive back to the Yan family's ancestral house.

"Miss Yan is very reasonable." It is rare for the driver to 'plug in', he has been driving for Yan Yixin for some years, so he is not as silent as other drivers in 'private'.

"yes." Yan Yixin smiled.

The driver didn't say anything more, just sighed for Yan Juan in his heart, if she had some net worth, it would be much easier. Such a Cinderella, I'm afraid she can't interpret the legend of the prince.

Life, after all, is not a fairy tale. Old Man Yan is afraid that he will compare those celebrities one by one, and the most important thing is not in the 'sex' personality, but in the interests of the family.

Yan Wantou also returned to the building, but at the window of the corridor, he watched the car go away. After a while, he opened the 'door' with his luggage.

She made a phone call to Lu Xiang: "I'm back." ”

"Finally someone is alone with me, do you want to get jet lag? I went to the supermarket and bought some vegetables, go to you and do it! For the Chinese New Year, the food stalls are also closed, and most of the small restaurants are closed, so they can only do it themselves. ”

"Okay, just buy a few less leafy vegetables." Yan Juan agreed: "I'll take out the bones to thaw now, and drink bone broth for a while." ”

"I still have two hours to get off work, and I'll be at your 'door' in three hours." Lu Xiang readily agreed.

"It's already three o'clock, why do you have to leave work at five o'clock?" Yan Wan asked in surprise, "Haven't they all closed the 'door' in advance recently?" ”

"What's the point of two extra hours? Anyway, I'm also unmarried, and I hate to go from morning to night, every hour is the usual three hours! Lu Xiang hummed and chirped, making his own little abacus.

"Okay." Yan Wan smiled, "I'll make soup and wait for you." ”

The refrigerator was stuffed with dishes, and every time I went to the supermarket with Yan Yixin, I had an urge to bring back everything in the supermarket. Fortunately, the refrigerator has a double 'door' and has enough capacity.

She took out the bones to thaw them first, and then rummaged through a pack of Zhoushan small yellow croaker. The room temperature was not high, so she could only put tap water in the basin, and after a while, she added a little warm water. This way the thawing can be done a little faster.

One of the things she did after drying her hands was to open her suitcase and take out all the drawings she had drawn during her few days in Europe. In particular, the last few sketches in the British Museum are even more interesting.

"It's an amazing masterpiece, and if you create a set of gold jewelry in the style of these ancient Egyptians, you might be able to make a comeback for the modern with a retro feeling!" She muttered to herself, the more she looked at it, the more she felt the urge to put the idea into reality.

After sorting out the drawing paper by 'door', I remembered that the bone broth should also be melted, so I hurriedly went to the kitchen to stew the bones on the induction cooker first. Then wash the small yellow croaker and marinate with seasonings.

Everything is ready, and when you look up, it is already dark day and night. The days of winter are short, and at five o'clock, it is already 'colorful'. Habitually, he looked at the sofa in the living room, in a familiar position, but there was no familiar figure.

Thinking of the Yan family's ancestral house, the lights were probably bright, and a desolate feeling gradually surged in my heart. Since her mother's death, she has been accustomed to celebrating the 'Spring Festival' alone, but this year she is particularly like a lonely soul abandoned in a remote corner, holding on to the kitchen 'door', and she feels gloomy.

"Habit is a terrible thing...... she murmured and shook her head, but she didn't really need anything to do in the kitchen, so she could only stand in a daze most of the time when she stood in front of the induction cooker.

It was easy to wait for the sound of "ding dong", Yan Juan immediately rushed out of the kitchen, saw that it was Lu Xiang in the 'door' and 'hole', and hurriedly opened the 'door'.

"Wow, what are you doing?" Lu Xiang shouted.

Yan Juan realized that it was almost completely dark, and he didn't even turn on a light. He turned on the lights in the living room and kitchen before he made a strong statement, "Isn't it advocating a low-state life now?" I'm getting ready to do it! ”

"Come on, we're usually low enough." Lu Xiang disagreed, and took the bag in his hand to the kitchen, "Just bought a few vegetables, Yan Yixin went back?" ”

"Hmm."

"Looks like someone is going to be alone in the empty room today!" Lu Xiang quickly began to choose vegetables, and Yan Juan turned on the gas stove and began to fry the small yellow croaker in the pan.

"Aren't you too? Why laugh at a hundred steps at fifty steps? Yan Wan fought back leisurely.

"How could we be the same?" Lu Xiangling fought back sharply, "We originally gathered less and separated more, this kind of life is normal, but you and Yan Yixin are different, they stick together every day." ”

"Occasional separation, but also a small farewell is newlywed." Yan Juan said nonchalantly: "Sometimes, beauty needs distance to produce. ”

"Sour Grape Psychology!" Lu Xiang was disdainful.

"I said, you didn't look for a job in Zhejiang? The Zhang family is also a big family, and if you go, you won't be treated badly. ”

"If you want to rely on his relationship, I don't like it very much." Lu Xiang shook his head: "Besides, their family's pomp is so big, I'm afraid that someone will do something to me!" I'm a little scared of what you've learned. ”

"What else are you afraid of?"

"Because I care, I'm afraid." Lu Xiang said in a low voice, still quickly washing the selected vegetables twice in his hand and putting them in the basket for later use, before standing aside to watch Yan Wan fry the fish.

Yan Juan was silent, she really wanted her good friend to be happy, but she didn't want her to be hurt.

"Okay, don't talk about this, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." Lu Xiang served the little yellow croaker for her, and then broke the silence of the family with a smile.

"Hmm." Yan Juan agreed and changed the iron pot.

The vegetables are easily stir-fried, and the bone broth is just over the heat.

A table of dishes is hot, and it looks decent when it is laid out.

"Today I have a blessed mouth, and I have eaten enough...... Well, it's been three days of instant noodles! Lu Xiang smiled, and counted his misery with his fingers.

"You've been eating instant noodles since Chinese New Year's Eve?" Yan Xuan was stunned, "Please, at least have a meal on Chinese New Year's Eve, right?" ”

"Except for the big restaurants, those small restaurants have closed early, where can I go to eat! You know, it's not realistic for me to cook a table of dishes there, so I'll just eat instant noodles. Lu Xiang didn't care, "Anyway, if you're alone, no one cares!" ”

"Yes, doesn't Ling Ziwei care?"

"He was not in China for the New Year, he just made a phone call to come back to pay New Year's greetings." Lu Xiang shrugged his shoulders, his chopsticks flew like flying, and he praised it for being delicious.

"Why is everyone so busy this year?? Yan Wan muttered.

"The Chinese New Year is also a great opportunity for business!" Yan Xuan's mouth was 'colored' with food, and his mouth was still clear, "Anyway, I have been getting three times my salary since Chinese New Year's Eve, and I wish this year was a little longer!" ”

Yan Wan smiled.

The two talked and laughed, and the interest was very high. After dinner, I didn't have any other pastime, so I took two leisure blankets and squeezed into the sofa to watch TV.

There are no outstanding TV programs, most of the stations are playing and singing, and they don't have high requirements for TV, just 'make a little sound' as the background music for their chat.

I slept until the middle of the night, felt extremely uncomfortable in my head and neck, and when I opened my eyes, I found that the two of them were sleeping together on the sofa. The TV was still on, and the nightlight was soft.

Yan Juan pushed Lu Xiang, presumably he was very tired in the past few days. There was no response, she took a 'bed' quilt from the cabinet, covered it for her, and slept with the 'door' open.

I don't know when Lu Xiang left, but when Yan Wan got up, there was only a note on the dining table: "Slacker, take a good rest for a day, I cooked porridge, your rice is very fragrant." ”

Yan Wan smiled, seeing that the porridge was really made in the rice cooker, her heart suddenly warmed, in this city, she will never be the loneliest one.

In this life, she will definitely live a more 'fine' life than before.

There are a lot of text messages in the phone, most of which are from Yan Yixin. Yan Juan knew that he was in a hurry to come back from Europe, and he must have a lot of things to do, although he had some faint regrets, he could still fully understand.

After breakfast, I cleaned up the house inside and out, and there were still some residual traces of the sequelae of the day of the fire accident. Washing, washing, and drying, I was also busy for a long time.

As soon as he straightened up, Yan Yixin's phone was tracked in a timely manner: "Juan, I'll pick you up for dinner in the evening." ”

"Is it the crape myrtle club again?" Yan Juan asked casually.

"This ...... I'll talk about it when I'll pick you up later. After Yan Yixin finished speaking, he hurriedly hung up the phone.

Leaving Yan Juan alone inexplicably, listening to the tone, it seems that the location of this dinner is still very particular? I made a bowl of salty rice with yesterday's leftovers, even if it was to dispel my stomach.

The rest of the time is spent in the study. This outing seemed to be worth the money, not only did she draw a lot of first drafts, but she also had the inspiration to compose two series.

"In addition to diopside, you can also choose crystal!" Yan Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Rainbow Crystal will definitely make this set of musical instruments beautiful!" ”

Some crystals contain tiny bubbles or liquids that fill the cracks, and when light passes through them, they form a rainbow-like interference 'color' and appear as beautiful as a rainbow. People gave this crystal a nice name - rainbow crystal.

Yan Juan's 'spirit' was greatly invigorated, and he worked hard to write, and he didn't even feel that Yan Yixin approached the study.

"It's not a good time to rest during the New Year!" Yan Yixin smiled bitterly and shook his head, Yan Juan only turned around at this time, and immediately replied to him with a heartfelt smile, complained about him, and 'forced' him back.

"Man Zheng has nothing to do, so I'll sort out these pictures, and when I go to work, with the help of Zhang Qing and Xiang Ling, the three views and effect drawings are good, and they can be put into production." Yan Juan explained, "As you know, I don't have the patience to watch those babbling songs and dances, and the little fun is in the design." ”

"Well, it's always you who have a point!" Yan Yixin walked over angrily, sat down on the side, and patted his 'leg', "Come here!" ”

Yan Wan was stunned for a moment, glanced at him obliquely, and then Shi Shiran hooked his neck and sat on his big 'lap' without giving up: "I haven't seen ...... for a day"

"It's not just three autumns!" Yan Yixin quickly connected, and her fingers naturally fell on her facial features, tracing carefully.

Obviously, it was only two days later, but he felt like a traveler wading through mountains and rivers, and he finally arrived at his destination, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

hugged her in his arms, and even his 'chest' was filled.

"Alright, it's not early, change into a suit or a small dress, and we'll go to dinner."

Yan Wan muttered: "It's better to find a small restaurant casually, so as not to have to change clothes, how troublesome!" ”

Yan Yixin smiled a bit like a fox, which made Yan Juan immediately smell something unusual.

Sure enough, what he said again immediately startled her.

"The ugly daughter-in-law is going to see her father-in-law, how can she dress so casually?"

"Huh?" Yan Wan's mouth was open, and he didn't close it for a long time. "You mean, today's dinner ......"

"Don't be nervous, it's not to our family's ancestral house, it's just to my father's golden house." Yan Yixin smiled happily, and Yan Xuan's rich expression made him feel depressed for a day, and suddenly improved.
