Wang Lanying said with a smile while peeling raw peanuts next to her.

"Huh?"

Shang Xia turned his head to look at his mother.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't do it for me?"

And she gave Huang Biao a piece of Lin Ran, where did she get the time to do it for herself?

Shang Xiaohe held the clothes on her and compared, "Which year is missing you?" It's okay to be able to wear it. ”

Shang Xia reached out and hugged her, "Thank you, dear mom mua"

Shang Xiaohe smiled and nodded her head.

"This child's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter. Okay, don't be lazy, come and help peel peanuts, we will also make fried peanuts in the New Year. ”

"Obedience"

After a few people prepared some things at home, Shang Xia took everyone to Zong Yueqing's house by bus in the evening.

"The ceremony is at five o'clock, and you have to go in at three o'clock, otherwise you will be crowded behind and you won't be able to see it.

The nearby hostel is too far away, so we stayed at a friend's house of mine tonight. ”

Shang Xia explained as he led everyone to the station.

"Xia Xia, can't we rush over tomorrow? It's almost the Chinese New Year, will it be inconvenient to go to your friend's house? ”

Wang Lanying asked worriedly.

During the Chinese New Year, going to other people's homes will somewhat delay other people's affairs.

"I have to go in at three o'clock, our side is too far away, and there is no car at that time, so it is not very convenient.

But Auntie, you don't have to worry, Yueqing's family will also go to see the flag-raising ceremony tomorrow, we happen to be together, and their home is close, which is more convenient. ”

At that time, she mentioned it on the phone, and Zong Yueqing immediately enthusiastically asked her to take everyone to their house for one night first, and then go over together the next day.

Thinking of her temperament, Shang Xia couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

She's really a reckless girl.

At this time, at the door of the small house on the other side, Meng Shuisheng was clenching his fists with a fierce light in his eyes.

"Gurgle fly! Brother Feifei! ”

Xiao Tuanzi suddenly yelled and rushed over to hug his legs, and looked at him with his little head looking forward to it.

He finally understood that this was the person his parents had born!

It was this man who snatched the love that belonged to him!

He wanted to get rid of the person he hated the most, but the little ball was sticking to him, two chubby hands tightly around his legs, and he kept screaming at his brother, brother.

The couple didn't notice the disgust in his eyes, and looked at their daughter with a smile.

"Yun Yun is so smart, how can she recognize this as her brother at a glance?"

His mother's gentle voice full of love made the hatred in Meng Shuisheng's heart even stronger, and he grabbed the small ball with both hands, wanting to tear her away.

Xiao Tuanzi thought he was playing with himself, and laughed even louder.

"Higher! Brother a little taller."

Yu Hongmei looked at her grandson worriedly, wiping her tears vigorously, not knowing what to say.

"Why do you look like this, your sister is talking to you!"

When the man saw his son like this, he couldn't help but reprimand him.

The fire in Meng Shuisheng's heart was instantly detonated by this sentence, and he shouted loudly: "Get out!" I don't have a mom or dad like you, and she's not my sister! ”

After saying that, he ran out of the house without looking back, completely ignoring the heart-rending screams of his grandmother behind him.

"What's this kid's temperament!? I think it's just that I usually play less! ”

Smack-

A slap landed heavily on the face of the man who spoke, and he looked at his old mother in disbelief.

"You unfilial son! Shengsheng was left at home by you since he was a child, and now what kind of face do you have to say such things!? Get lost! Get out of here! I don't have a son like you! ”

On the other side, Shang Xia and his party had already arrived at Zong Yueqing's house, and to her surprise, everyone in their family came out to stand at the door to greet her, so formal that she couldn't help but poke Zong Yueqing beside her.

"It's so cold, why don't you let your grandparents, uncles and aunts go to rest first?"

Zong Yueqing shrugged, "I rarely bring friends home, and when my grandparents heard that you were coming, they had to come to greet them themselves, saying that this was polite enough."

You don't know, if I hadn't stopped them, I would have dragged you out to dinner to celebrate! ”

Shang Xia smiled, the personality of this family is really similar.

"It's really disturbing to come here so late."

Shang Xiaohe was also a little embarrassed to see them so enthusiastic.

"It's not too late, it's not too late. Our moon is clear and wild, and we usually say that it is easy to offend people, thanks to Xia Xia and Ran Ran. And she has grown up a lot when she went to the training class for internship this time, thanks to Xia Xia. ”

Zong Yueqing's mother kindly took Shang Xiaohe's hand and walked into the living room, and a group of people sat together and talked for a while before they went to rest.

At about two o'clock in the morning the next day, a large group of people walked towards their destination together, talking and laughing.

"I've only seen the flag-raising ceremony on TV before, but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to come and see it in person."

"In the future, Xia Xia will settle down in Beijing, and you can come and see it if you want to see it then.

Every year before the Army Day and the National Day, our family will come together to see it, and after so many years, every time I feel as excited and proud as when I saw it for the first time. ”

In front, Shang Xiaohe and Zong Yueqing's mother chatted happily, while Zong Yueqing pulled Shang Xia and Lin Ran to walk at the back of the line.

She walked up to Huang Biao, "Is that Meng Shuisheng?" ”

Huang Biao was taller, looked in the direction she was pointing, and grinned, "Isn't it, why did that little rabbit cub come out with so little clothes?!" ”

He walked over directly and buttoned the military uniform on his body to Meng Shuisheng's body.

The young man raised his head blankly, "Brother Biao, why are you?" ”

"Why can't it be him? You also come to see the flag raising, then come with us! ”

Shang Xia deliberately didn't give Huang Biao a chance to ask him what was wrong, and said a word directly, asking him to take Meng Shuisheng and go inside with everyone.

Because they came early, they stood in a relatively high position.

As the sun rose, the flag guards walked out of the gate in unison, marching mightily to each person's final position.

The military band played the national anthem exactly three times for a duration of 2 minutes and 7 seconds, corresponding to the length of time the sun passed over the horizon.

Everyone's back is instinctively straight, affectionate and solemn.

The national flag rises with the sun, flying like a warm torch in the cold winter.

Shang Xia saw that the eyes of the old people beside him were full of tears, and his mother also clenched her fists tightly, her eyes firm and proud.

After the ceremony, the escort team left in an orderly manner, but the people in the square were still staring at the red flying in the sky.

She walked up to her mother and held her hand tightly.

"Mom, if you like it, we'll come and see it every year, okay?"

Shang Xiaohe smiled and patted Shang Xia's hand, a little lost in his eyes.

Mom's expression seemed to have the idea of wanting to come over......

Just when she was secretly happy in her heart, an old man's hoarse voice sounded beside her.

"Shengsheng! I've found you! You're going to kill me! ”

Yu Hongmei hugged Meng Shuisheng, and the whole person couldn't cry.

Seeing this, Huang Biao was about to go over, but was stopped by Shang Xia.

Soon, a middle-aged man and a woman with a child in her arms also hurried over.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's not freezing, right? At least I should wear an extra piece of clothing. ”

The woman put the clothes she was holding in her hand on Meng Shuisheng, only to find that he had an overcoat on him.

Meng Shuisheng silently took the clothes from the woman's hands and returned the coat to Huang Biao.

His face was still cold and a little awkward, but before leaving, he suddenly said, "Next time, I will answer the questionnaire well." ”

After saying goodbye to them, because it was still early, everyone simply walked around the street together.

The old man was sent home by Zong Yueqing's father first, and the others walked along the street all the way to the nearby shopping mall.

"How about we take a picture together?"

Zong Yueqing pointed to the photo studio next to him and proposed.

"Okay."

Shang Xia was the first to arrive.

In the past, when she was at home, every year during the Chinese New Year, she would go to take family photos with her family.

Before, because of Chen Dong and Chen Xi, every time they had a very unpleasant quarrel, this time they were not there, just let her shoot with her mother.

With the sound of the photographer "eggplant", the smiling people were frozen on the film.

Shang Xia stood behind Shang Xiaohe, looking at the dazzling white that came out of her black hair, and couldn't help but reach out and hug her tightly from behind.

Shang Xiaohe was taken aback by her action, and slapped her waist with her backhand.

"How old are you, why are you still like a child?"

"No matter how old I am, I'm your precious daughter"

"Hahaha......"

Happy times always fly by, and after a full day of dusting – that is, cleaning the room – it is soon Chinese New Year's Eve.

Outside the door of the house, there are jubilant Spring Festival couplets, and a large family gathers around to eat melon seeds and watch the black and white TV in the living room.

Jingle Bell –

Shang Xiaohe was just about to get up, but Shang Xia held her down.

"I'll pick it up."

Shang Xia walked over and lifted the phone, and a burst of scolding came out of the receiver.

"Where did you die?! Don't go home and cook for me during the Chinese New Year!? Did you go to find a wild man again? You have the ability, don't give me back in this life! ”

The voice on the other end was drunk, obviously a lot of alcohol.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and a wave of repulsion welled up in her heart.

"I'm sorry, you made a mistake."

"Shang Xia? Ha, sure enough, let me guess, you white-eyed wolf deliberately pretended to be sick and tricked your mother into going to Beijing!? You drove my sons and daughters away, you unfilial daughter will be damned sooner or later! ”

Listening to Chen Yougui's vicious words, her eyes swept over the big family who were looking at the sketch with joy, and the corners of her mouth tried to keep a smile.

"I'm sorry sir, you really made a mistake!"

Hanging up with a snap, she walked back to her mother.

"Who?"

"It's okay, a classmate called me to pay New Year's greetings. Eh, Mom, look at that isn't your favorite actor? ”

On days like these, she didn't even want to mention that person's name.

"Where?"

Shang Xiaohe's attention was instantly attracted back by the TV, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

This Chen Yougui, fortunately, my mother is here for the New Year this year, otherwise I don't know what disgusting things will happen again!

But......

What's the deal with feigning illness? I want to talk about "Rebirth 1996" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
