When I returned to my brother's house, it was already the 28th of the lunar month, and my sister-in-law inevitably complained a few words about my late return, and then began to be busy buying New Year's goods. The house was very messy, and the sanitation did not have time to be cleaned. I heard from my sister-in-law that my brother's unit seems to be very busy recently, and they have been working overtime. So everything in the family fell on the shoulders of me and my sister-in-law, in fact, I enjoyed this busy atmosphere of the New Year, and the family was happy together.

I just felt new when I got home, I really didn't think it was interesting to clean up for a day, I don't know how to pass the boring days in Xie Chen, I didn't expect to feel so empty when I stayed at home! Maybe it's because I'm used to living a life where I have my nerves tense all day, and I feel a little uncomfortable when I suddenly relax.

On the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, I took Coco out shopping, and my sister-in-law said let me buy some firecrackers and Spring Festival by the way. The people on the street are still happy, and the vendors are shouting "deal with it at a low price" and "buy guns for new money" one by one...... But that little guy wants everything when he sees it, and he likes to run around, I am afraid that he will get lost, so I drag him tightly, and I am so tired that I am out of breath. When I walked to a stall selling Spring Festival couplets, I saw that there were many people around there pretending to comment on those couplets. I picked a random couplet with a good meaning, pulled Cocoa and prepared to go home.

I carried a lot of things in my hands, and after walking for a while, I was too tired to do it, so I put my things aside and squatted on the ground to rest for a while.

Then I thought about this time last year. At that time, Haoyang and I participated in the student union activities organized by the school, and we were assigned the task of pasting couplets to the nursing home and helping the elderly to do chores. That day, Haoyang rode a bicycle with me, and the cold wind blew his ears red, so I stretched out my hands with cotton gloves to cover his ears. When we arrived at the nursing home, the old people gathered around us to chat, and an old woman taught us to sing Huangmei Opera. The matter of pasting the couplet naturally fell on Haoyang's body, he was very tall, and he could easily reach the roof by standing on a ladder.

I still remember that afternoon, when our stomachs were rumbling with hunger, I was very bold enough to invite Haoyang to eat Pizza Hut. Haoyang had a good appetite, ate two hamburgers and drank a large glass of Coke in one go. None of us seemed to want to go back after eating, so we ordered a chicken rice flower to kill time. It wasn't until finally the store manager couldn't resist coming over and saying that it was going to close, and we left.

After that, we visited many shops until there was no one on the street before we reluctantly said goodbye.

Those memories are like bubbles in the wind, scattered all over the ground when the wind blows. Coco on the side was already waiting impatiently, and came to take my arm and was about to go home. I quickly gathered my thoughts and allowed myself to take a break from my memories.

But as soon as I turned around, I saw a familiar black figure flashing at the intersection not far from me. Xie Chen? I hurriedly ran forward two steps, but on second thought, I must have been suspicious, he would not be in this place at this time.

My brother didn't come home until the evening. At the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, I held Coco and my brother and sister-in-law in the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala, I remember that every Chinese New Year's Eve, my mother wrapped our favorite leek dumplings in advance, and I still remember the taste of love until now. At that time, there were not as many colorful TV programs as there are now, so every time I finished eating dumplings, I would wear new clothes in the yard to watch my brother and dad set off fireworks. On the first day of the first lunar month of the year I was six years old, my brother swore to me, "You take the cannon, my brother will light the fire, and you will run with me when I run!" "When I was young, I idolized my brother, so I agreed with it. But when my brother lit the fire and shouted "Withdraw", I was dumbfounded, seeing that the introduction was getting shorter and shorter, so the consequence of that incident was that I watched the cannon "bloom" in my hand; The consequence was that my brother ate his father's "belt fried meat" and drank the "saliva soup" of his relatives for the first month; As a result, my wrist still bears the marks of the bombing...... Further back...... It's that my mother's figure is gradually blurred...... Daddy's eyes were closed......

"Dangdangdang......"

As the New Year's bell rings, fireworks and firecrackers go off in unison. Our family went downstairs to the yard, my brother had already taken out the prepared fireworks, lit the fireworks, only to hear a loud bang, a fireworks bomb rose into the air, exploded in an instant, the exploded fireworks seemed to be a beautiful lotus flower in the air spread petals. At this time, fireworks erupted from the fireworks tube, like countless bright and brilliant meteors, flashing in the sky, and the night sky suddenly became dazzling.

Finally ushered in this moment of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, thousands of lights shrouded this vast land, and fireworks woke up this sleeping world. The snow has not yet disappeared after a winter, and the lighting of fireworks at this time makes this snow-covered land look like a fantasy fairy tale kingdom.

Coco happily pulled me up and down, and there were a few children frolicking in the yard, and I really envied their innocence, and their world was only happy and sad, not mixed with other complicated feelings.

On the second day of the first lunar month, the weather was particularly warm. My sister-in-law took Coco to go to relatives, and my brother and I were left at home. My brother had been on the phone since early in the morning, and I seemed to be busy with something, so I went to the supermarket alone. There are a lot of people in the supermarket, most of them are children who have received New Year's money, we used to be like this, and we always thought about how to spend after earning New Year's money.

I was wandering around the discount area when a pair of large hands landed on my shoulders. When I looked back, it was a golden armor dragon, followed by a beautiful woman with a hot body. I felt sick and said hello with a smile.

"Why are you alone? Won't Xie Chen accompany you? He said with a smile.

I didn't know how to answer for a while, "New Year's Day, of course he has his own affairs." ”

The golden armor dragon seemed to have heard some big joke, "He? One ghost! What can happen? ”

His reaction made me feel uncomfortable, and there was a faint tingling in my heart. I didn't know where the temper came from, so I said, "He's alone, but I'll go with him." But brother, you, aren't you tired of changing one a day? With that, he glanced disdainfully at the woman next to him, turned around and left. The golden armor dragon seemed to say something behind him, but I didn't hear it clearly.

Because of the golden armor, I didn't have the heart to wander around anymore, so I bought a bag of small kumquat and got on the bus. Seriously, I've never heard Xie Chen mention his family.

I had been so lost in a deep stream of thought that I didn't even know that I had sat down, and it was almost noon when I got home. When I entered the door, I saw a pair of unfamiliar leather shoes, and there were two gift boxes next to them. I changed into slippers and went in to see my brother talking to a middle-aged man in the living room. I've seen that person, it's Team Leader Gong that my brother often mentions.

He smiled and asked, "It's Xiaoxing, right?" It's getting prettier. ”

"Hello Uncle Gong." I said hello politely. He is the leader of the police force where his brother belongs, and he has always been funny and humorous. But I was also very discerning, and when I saw the ashtray full of cigarette butts, I knew they had serious business to discuss, so I said hello twice and left.

My sister-in-law was not at home, and there was no water in the kettle at home. I quickly boiled the water and took another bag of tea to the living room. I didn't listen to what my brother and Uncle Gong said at first, but when I heard the name "Hong Laojiu", my heart chuckled, and my hand in pouring tea also trembled.

I hadn't heard of this name, but I vaguely felt something when I thought of "Hong Lina".

My brothers didn't notice my strangeness, and I didn't dare to stay long, so I went back to my room in a panic. Uncle Gong sat outside for an unknown amount of time before leaving, and his sister-in-law also came back with Coco. I didn't know what I was thinking all afternoon, and I couldn't stop doing anything.

In the evening, my brother worked in the study, and my sister-in-law went to bed with Coco early. I finally couldn't sit still, Uncle Gong's words during the day made me feel a faint sense of unease, maybe I could know something from my brother's mouth. I hesitated for a long time, pushed open the door of my brother's room, and my brother was busy under the lamp, and when he saw me come in, he said hello lightly.
