Chapter 8 Chinese New Year
Since knowing about her mother and Meng Fanhai, Tian Miao and Meng Lingxiao haven't seen each other for a long time. Although I think about each other in my heart, I just chat about WeChat every day and occasionally make a video.
In a blink of an eye, it was January 27, the Chinese New Year's Eve of the lunar calendar.
This year, Meng Fanhai brought Lin Qingyue and Tian Miao back to Beihe to his parents' house for the New Year.
Meng Fanhai's family is more traditional, and Chinese New Year's Eve always follows the old routine, eating dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala at home.
Tian Miao and Meng Lingxiao, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, had said a lot of things, so let's not show them for the time being.
Since Meng Fanhai's successful career, he bought a big house for his parents and two younger sisters in a very good location in their hometown, and the three families live on the same street.
This house bought for parents has 4 bedrooms, just one for the Meng family's grandparents, one for Tian Miao and her mother, one for Meng Lingxiao, and one for Meng Fanhai.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Meng family's grandparents had already slept, and the other four people watched the Spring Festival Gala at 12:30, after Tian Miao and her mother finished washing, it was almost 1 o'clock, Tian Miao sat up, looked at the bright lights in the house, and was a little unable to come back to his senses for a while.
The bright moonlight and firecrackers outside the house made it impossible for her to sleep at all. The colorful brilliance reflected on her body, making her can't help but be slightly distracted.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qingyue, who was already lying down, looked at Tian Miao and asked gently.
Tian Miao stared at the firecrackers outside the window, "Mom, don't you think all this seems to be a dream?" ”
"I think. It's been incredible lately. Lin Qingyue lay on the bed and tilted her head to look at Tian Miao.
"We don't have to spend the New Year together anymore." Tian Miao smiled bitterly.
Tian Miao's grandparents passed away very early, and her mother had only one younger sister who lived in her hometown. Aunt Tian Miao's hometown, that is, her father's hometown, because her mother is reluctant to see her father, they rarely go back to their hometown for the New Year, and most of the time, the two of them spend the New Year together.
"Yes, Miao Miao, in the future, we will finally have a complete home." Lin Qingyue looked at Tian Miao with a happy face.
"Mom, go to sleep." With that, Tian Miao turned off the light and lay down quietly.
"You go to sleep, too." Not long after Lin Qingyue said this, her breathing became extremely even, and she was obviously asleep.
But Tian Miao couldn't sleep, she was stunned for a long time, and when she came back to her senses, there were still frolicking and firecrackers outside the house, and there were festive sounds everywhere.
The joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the past 20 years have flashed through her mind like a movie.
It's been another year! New Year's Day means New Year, and Chinese New Year's Eve means New Year, which is completely different for many people.
Chinese New Year's Eve means a new year, which is the real new beginning in the hearts of the Chinese people.
The moon in the sky is still so bright and bright, but the new year has arrived.
The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. Thinking about it, Tian Miao finally fell asleep.
……
On the evening of the first day of the new year, the family went out to eat.
When they arrived at the hotel, Meng Lingxiao and Tian Miao had just gotten out of the car, and Meng Lingxiao's mobile phone rang.
As soon as he picked it up, Tian Miao noticed something unusual, because his brow furrowed.
I don't know what the other party said, Meng Lingxiao said, "Okay, you also have a happy New Year." ”
Then there was no sound for a long time.
Tian Miao thought that he had finished making the call, but he heard his perfunctory "um" again.
Then, after a few more seconds, he hung up.
"Who?" Tian Miao couldn't help but be curious.
Meng Lingxiao's tone was cold: "Dai Danni." ”
Oh, it was her, the woman who liked him.
She didn't ask much, and went in with him to eat.
Meng Fanhai's parents are just ordinary salarymen, and the Meng Group was created by his Meng Fanhai, he only has two younger sisters and no brothers, which makes the relationship between their family much simpler.
Meng Lingxiao's two aunts both work in Bac Ha province, and are in the same city as their parents, and even the houses of the three families are on the same road, which makes them move around each other frequently.
"Miao Miao, come and sit down." Grandpa Meng saw Tian Miao coming in and hurriedly greeted her.
Tian Miao sweetly: "Grandparents and aunts are good." ”
Meng Lingxiao didn't call anyone.
Grandpa Meng glared at Meng Lingxiao, "Look, Miao Miao is still sensible, just call when you see someone, how can you look like a boy, it's useless!" ”
Tian Miao didn't know how to answer Grandpa Meng's words, so she could only sit awkwardly and listen. I saw Meng Lingxiao sitting there lazily playing with his mobile phone, ignoring his grandfather.
I don't know what he's playing, it doesn't seem like he's playing a game. Tian Miao wanted to lean over to take a look, but there were people around her, and she was embarrassed to lean on Meng Lingxiao.
I saw him pressing on the screen of his mobile phone, as if he was chatting with someone.
Listening to Grandpa Meng talking to Meng Lingxiao's aunt and his wife, Meng Lingxiao and Lin Qingyue for a while, a voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Brother Lingxiao".
He didn't answer, glanced at the person who came in, and handed over a smiling look.
It turned out to be Meng Lingxiao's cousin Qin Shanshan.
The Meng family is also considered thin, not only is there only one male in Meng Fanhai's generation, but there is also only one male in Meng Lingxiao's generation, Meng Lingxiao has only one cousin, who was born to a little aunt, and his aunt is fashionable and a Dink family.
Qin Shanshan is twenty years old and still in college.
When Qin Shanshan passed in front of them, she glanced down at Tian Miao who was sitting on the stool with a complicated expression, and then walked to the position opposite Tian Miao and sat down.
In fact, when they were very young, Meng Lingxiao was very good to Qin Shanshan, and I don't know when Meng Lingxiao became less concerned with Qin Shanshan.
Tian Miao glanced at Meng Lingxiao and found that he was still typing something on his mobile phone.
Compared with her crampedness, Meng Lingxiao is very leisurely and calm.
It's no wonder, after all, that's his home. And she can't be considered a member of this family.
After Qin Shanshan sat down, her parents walked in from outside.
As soon as the little aunt came in, she rushed straight to Meng Fanhai, "Oh, big brother, you guys are really early." We were playing cards at home in the afternoon, and we had fun, and in a flash, it was all this time. ”
"It's not too late, it's not too late, sit down." Meng Fanhai smiled.
When the two of them were seated, the family finally arrived.
"Did you order?" The sister-in-law asked.
The eldest aunt smiled happily, "It's okay, let's order it with the eldest brother's family." ”
The sister-in-law was a little unhappy on her face, as if it was because everyone didn't wait for their family to come, so they ordered the food first, which made her feel a little disrespectful.
But she was only unhappy for a moment, and she recovered immediately, and smiled at Lin Qingyue and Tian Miao: "Sister-in-law, Miao Miao, you can eat whatever you like, we have been staying here, we have eaten all the local dishes, and we don't care what we eat, it's all the same." If you're here for the first time, you have to eat and drink well. ”
