Chapter 17: Alienation

It's not that I don't like Swallow, so I don't want to answer her calls. On the contrary, there is no one else who can enter my heart.

But look at my parents and Zhe Xi, I've only been back for a few days, and something happens almost every day, maybe one day I'll accidentally be planted in the hands of the little ghost, how can I ignore these things to accept her?

I'm not good enough to give her a stable life, and Swallow isn't with me to worry about it all day.

"Hey." I took a hard breath, picked up the phone, and glared at Zhe Xi who was snickering on the side.

"My little Mingyi, have a good New Year!" The joyful voice of the swallow on the phone made the corners of my mouth smile unconsciously, and the number of times that I pressed in my heart suddenly all came up. She is always used to paying New Year's greetings first, because there are too many messages and calls on the first day of the new year, and she doesn't want to make a mess.

"Don't make a fuss, you have a good New Year." I'm a little helpless, my parents and Zhe Xi are next to me, it's not good to call Xiao Mingyi so unscrupulous, I'm a big adult, but I can't afford the title of Xiao.

"What, shy? If I don't reach out to you, you'll never remember to call me, so you should be punished. My little Mingyi. "I'm very uncomfortable with talking to her on the phone, because what she behaves on the phone is completely different from ordinary life, if she is in person, she will definitely only tell me seriously, Mingyi, Happy New Year, I can't say that small word even if I die, not to mention that there are two words in front of the small word.

I didn't know how to adjust the volume of this damn phone, Zhe Xi ran to the TV and pointed at his mouth at his parents, "Look at my mouth, wodexiaomingyi!" The funny parents laughed, I felt hot on my face, and I couldn't wait to stuff the phone into Zhe Xi's mouth.

"Isn't it busy, you also know my habit of never calling when I have nothing to do. When are you coming? After saying this, I regretted it, just now I thought that because I often put myself in danger, I should keep a certain distance from her, but I unconsciously said this sentence again. That's it, the New Year always has to give people a good mood.

"Oh~~~~~~~~ my brother misses his sister-in-law!" Zhe Xi pulled out a long tone and deliberately shouted into his phone.

"Don't talk, disturb them." Mother threw the pillow on Zhe Xi, she and her father sat upright, standing their ears high, when did the TV become silent?

"Xiao Mingyi misses me, of course I'll go back as soon as possible. You come and go in a hurry every year, and you can only be together for two or three days, and I am like that military wife, so pitiful. I really couldn't stand the way she spoke like this and that resentful tone, and I watched the hairs on my arms stand up and get goosebumps all over my body.

"My brother won't leave when he comes back this time!" Zhe Xi yelled at the phone, his ears were a little too pointy.

"Zhe Xi, you kid wants to be beaten, dare to eavesdrop on me flirting with your brother!"

"He's not leaving!"

I didn't turn on the speakerphone, so I don't listen to it.

There was a sudden silence on the other side of the phone, and he took his ear away to look at the screen, and he was still on the phone, and the connection was not disconnected.

"Hello?" I tried it, and during the New Year's call peak, some conditions are also normal.

"Hello?" It looks like a hang up redial is required.

"You're really not leaving?" This tone is normal for her.

"Well, I'm not leaving."

"Okay, okay, give the phone to your uncle and aunt, just talking to you, I haven't given them New Year's greetings yet."

I handed my phone to my parents, and they skillfully took out a pair of earphones and plugged them in, two earbuds and one ear for each person, which has been rehearsed several times.

"Hey, swallow." "Well, I'm not leaving." "Child, don't cry, don't cry." "You should stay at home for a few more days, accompany your parents, and pay New Year's greetings for us." "Well, don't cry."

Zhe Xi, who was originally smiling like a flower, fell silent, "He is a sharp sword, I am the scabbard of the sword, let him go to the battlefield when facing the enemy, quietly watch him gallop invincible, and I will protect him in my spare time, wrap him in my heart and listen to the whisper; He wants to be the flame that illuminates the night, let the rain cover the earth, insist on the brightness, I am the swarm of moths, even if I use my life to pounce into it, to add even a little fuel to him. Today will always be yesterday, tomorrow will be the past, but I will always be there for him, and the moment of mutual companionship will become forever. Zhe Xi said quietly, his chest rising and falling, "Brother, if someone says such things to me, whether it is male or female, I will always pester him like a puppy." ”

If the swallow was in front of me at this time, I would definitely not hesitate to walk up and pick her up, and I would not let go of all my life.

"What's good for me? It's worth it. "The first year that Swallow came to work in my hometown, I asked him this.

"There are countless reasons to hate someone, and you don't need any reason to like someone, since I've come here, you don't need to persuade me, say that you should go outside to see the world more and have a better development. Everything you need to think about is here, your home is here, then I want to be here. "The swallow put its arms around my neck and left lip prints on the side of my face, and I panicked and fell for fear of being seen.

"This year, full of hope, let's cheers!" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little silent, the father raised his glass.

My overall understanding of smartphones started with the tuning of Swallow. I learned how to download things, use social media, and from then on she would send messages every day to tease me. I don't care much about privacy, and my mobile phone often falls into Zhe Xi's hands, so every day after tea and dinner, my parents always laugh and scold Zhe Xi not to look at my mobile phone all the time, and listen to it with relish.

I was startled by the sound of firecrackers when I did the morning class, and suddenly, today is the fifth day of the new year, also known as breaking five, and catching up with the five poor. After this day, everything will slowly return to the state before Chinese New Year's Eve, and it will be another big cleaning, because from Chinese New Year's Eve, it will not clean up the house and not move the needlework, all accumulated to this day.

I'm not worried about the painful cleaning, but what will happen when the year is over. I started paying attention to the news, newspapers.

Fortunately, I was worried, at least nothing unusual happened on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. The so-called soul noodles are eaten on this day. People have three souls and seven spirits, wanderers rush home years ago, when the soul goes out to wander in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the soul returns to the house on the seventh night of the first year, so you must pass this day before you can go away, otherwise it is not the soul that does not possess the body. Especially on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, I don't go far away, I don't go to relatives and friends, I just reunite at home and eat long noodles. And you can't fire a cannon at night, it will frighten the soul.

Normally, my master and I set off after this day.

The mother's soul-pulling face is very distinctive. She was inspired by the ramen, and she drew the scoop according to the gourd, and had to omit some materials such as fluffy ash, so when the noodles came out of the pot, they were as thick as a little finger, and eating them was like standing in the stomach one by one, and those who did not digest well would definitely have stomach trouble.

Of course, my mother knows what this noodle looks like, so every time I think about it, everyone can eat a few sticks, mainly meat and vegetables.

After dinner, my mother came out with a suitcase.

"You're going on a trip?" I'm curious to ask, it's good to go out for a walk.

"What we travel, it's yours." My mother threw the box at my feet, "Stay overnight today, and you will roll up and leave tomorrow and go to your house." ”

"What's the situation, and the one who drove his son away. Dad, hurry up and take care of your daughter-in-law. ”

"It's okay if you don't go, let's go and live with Zhe Xi." How could a father go against the wishes of his daughter-in-law.

"My house isn't empty." They treat it too differently.

"That's your wedding room, we don't live in it." Mother is stubborn.

"Brother, everyone is leaving you a private space, Sister Yanzi is coming back soon." Zhe Xi interjected.

After all kinds of begging, I finally decided that I had to get out of the house before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
