This should be considered good news, if there is a day when the ghosts are no longer afraid of the New Year, then something really will happen.

The smell of the New Year is getting stronger, and many children disassemble the firecrackers at home, fill a pocket, hold a stick of incense in their hands, and walk all the way, crackling all the way. I am very happy to hear about these carefree years. Time passes, and I think that the things of the past are gone forever and can never be recovered, but I always inadvertently find my own shadow in others.

Once upon a time, Zhe Xi and I were the same, holding a stick of incense in our hands and swaggering through the market, the two of us did not simply disassemble the firecrackers, but also process them into double or triple rings again. Whenever we come across someone, we always light a special cannon and throw it at his feet, and we are often tired of running for it. I once saw a hollow cement pile pipe on the side of the road and wanted to test whether the firecrackers would be louder if they were put in it. As it turned out, it was really loud, and a homeless man ran out of it and chased us for a few streets.

The atmosphere is easy to infect, just like watching a tragic drama by yourself, although you will be moved but will not cry, but a group of people may hug each other and wipe each other's tears.

So, despite his weakness, Zhe Xi still struggled to get up and dragged me to the street to buy new clothes for the New Year.

"Brother, I only go shopping once a year, and I accompany you every time, why aren't you moved at all?" I was pulled into a specialty store by Zhe Xi, and his big and three thick body with a beer belly always wanted to buy slim clothes, and the result was that the middle waist was very wide, and the head and feet were very sharp.

"Well, of course I'm very impressed." I was a little confused staring at the dazzling variety of clothes, feeling that I obviously couldn't keep up with this era, I didn't know how to package myself at all, I didn't know how to match the clothes, and even felt that in fact, all the clothes were the same, just the patterns were different. What the? Low-waisted? Hanging crotch? What's that?

"Brother, can you keep up with the times, don't look like you're not old, everyone is wearing slim clothes, only you still insist on being like before, wearing so loose, and such a good figure is blind." Zhe Xi picked up a piece of clothing and compared it with me, and pushed me into the fitting room.

I don't hate the process of buying clothes, but I hate trying on clothes, it's a physical job. Even if you wield the sword for an hour or two, you didn't get tired of trying a few clothes.

Change your clothes and go outside.

The clerk's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly came over, "You wear this dress better than our plane models, this figure, it's simple, how do you usually practice?" As he spoke, he skillfully helped me smooth out some of the folds, and the two polka dots on my chest were conspicuous, and the clerk stroked and made two circles, and I quickly ran back to the fitting room.

How can there be any special practice, under the ravages of the master, it will be like this unconsciously.

Pull Zhe Xi out of the store and look at other stores.

"Brother, these shoes are good, they must be beautiful when they are worn. Damn, four thousand! Zhe Xi leaned on the window and waved to me, saw the price and turned away.

"It's not bad, it's pretty good. Holy, two! "He's talking about two four thousand.

I think Zhe Xi's life with his wife will definitely be happy in the future, at least they have one less reason to quarrel, and they are full of motivation when they go shopping, so they don't look weak.

Everything before the year was chaotic, even on the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve. I pasted couplets, and Dad and Zhe Xi pasted window flowers.

Many years ago, Zhe Xi had already spent the New Year at my house, otherwise he would be alone when he went back, and his mother would clean up every month.

"Let's talk about it, it's auspicious to talk about the New Year. These two window grilles should be level, I pasted them high, you said that they were lucky, and if they were low, they were treasures. "Dad is not at ease with Zhe Xi.

"Great!"

"How?"

"Beckon a little bit of money." "So?" "A little bit of treasure." "Okay?"

"If you don't attract wealth, you won't buy treasure."

"You and your brother go grocery shopping, the menu is on the table." Dad drove away Zhe Xi weakly.

With a car, people will be lazy, just like Zhe Xi. It's only a ten-minute walk to the nearby market, and he must get in the car and see the menu.

Turn on the radio, and each radio station has launched a song ordering column. A man called in, "I'm a foreigner, and I don't have a holiday for the New Year, so I have to order a song here and want to give it to my leaders." ”

"Okay, sir, what song would you like to order?"

"Count you ruthless."

Under normal circumstances, everything is ready at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and according to my father's custom, paper will be burned at this time.

My auspicious four treasures have all left, and since then, there have been many fewer gatherings of my aunts and uncles, and even some of them only make a phone call on the first day of the new year to pay their respects, and do not see each other for a year.

We all live in this city, but why don't we see each other, only rub shoulders with strangers?

In the beginning, we would all look for a crossroads, so that the ghosts could almost see it earlier, and draw a circle to designate the relatives to be burned. Gradually left these traffic arteries and went to some remote places, my father said that the express delivery business over there must have developed a lot, no matter where you can receive it, why bother to grab that narrow intersection with others.

Every time I burn paper, my father always has to sprinkle a lot of paper money outside the circle of painting, and the New Year is over, and the lonely ghosts are also very pitiful, how much is some heart.

There is also a different mood every year. At first, it was very heavy, even if I got home, it would take a while to ease up, and it slowly calmed down a lot, just like eating and drinking, and after that, it seemed that I was looking forward to it, and I felt that every time I burned paper, I felt that every time I burned paper, I would like to meet with the person I missed, and I cherished it.

The tide of celebration is sweeping and nothing can stop it. This is also one of the reasons why the ghosts avoid it, and when the positive emotions are at their peak, how can they take advantage of them.

The crackling sound on the window, I stood by the window and looked at the exploding fireworks, I remember the first time I saw such a scene, Zhe Xi and I were so excited, and even opened the window, which is why there are many traces of fire on the curtains of my house.

It was the time of reunion, but there was a person standing silently downstairs, hidden in the shadows, incompatible with the environment of the universal celebration, and seemed lonely.

Even if I couldn't see clearly, I was sure we were looking at each other, and I didn't know how even the brilliant fireworks could not take away my gaze after the eyes moved to him.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Zhe Xi handed me a glass of wine, and legend has it that his colleague specially brought it back from a trip abroad to give him a world-famous wine, which is very popular with female friends.

"Look at the fireworks, we haven't seen them before." I pointed it out to him, and his parents came over.

"Friends across the street! Take a picture of us! Zhe Xi opened the window and shouted at the opposite building, it was time to take a family photo.

A little light, it's a flash. There really are people!

My phone rang and the swallow called. Zhe Xi looked ambiguous.

"Mom and Dad, the swallow is giving you New Year's greetings." I was a little stunned with my phone.

"Boss Yan, Zhe Xi, let's watch TV." They pretended not to hear me.
