035 Happy New Year

The Xiqin Museum is open until Chinese New Year's Eve afternoon, but most of the staff except the mission department do not have to work on this day. He Tiantian, who knew this well, went downstairs to Su Jia's apartment in the afternoon with a large bag and a small bag, and called his friends: "If you don't come to pick me up again, I'll die to show you!" ”

Su Jia was drinking lemonade and watching an American drama, and she was halfway through peeling a big orange in her hand, and she almost sprayed a screen when she heard this. Put down the orange and say hello to Puyang, who was chopping meat stuffing in the kitchen - tired of eating quick-frozen dumplings, what the hell do they want to make by themselves - and wrapped up in a coat and went out.

As soon as he walked out of the elevator room, Su Jia was sour: "Yo, isn't this someone here, and you still want me to help?" But it was Liu Ziyu who was carrying the luggage, and He Tiantian was only carrying a small schoolbag, wearing lambskin gloves, and holding a cardboard box in his hand, not knowing what was inside.

He Tiantian raised his chin: "Shut up, you!" Let me go up. Motioned to Liu Ziyu to wait for her for a while, and then pulled someone into the elevator again.

Liu Ziyu was messy in the wind: "......"

#ε₯³ζœ‹ε‹δΈ€θ§εŸΊε‹ε°±εΏ˜δΊ†ζˆ‘#

#ζ±‚εœ¨ε₯³ζœ‹ε‹ι’ε‰εˆ·ε­˜εœ¨ζ„Ÿηš„ζŠ€θƒ½, hurry! Online, etc.#

"What's that?" Seeing He Tiantian carefully guarding the cardboard box, Su Jia had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, He Tiantian entered the door, opened the cardboard box and put it on the coffee table, and proudly announced: "I'm going home for the New Year, and you are temporarily allowed to be a shovel official for a few days, why don't you kneel down Xie Longen quickly?" ”

There is a soft beige cotton pad in the cardboard box, a small gray ball on it is only about the size of two palms, and the tips of the nose and ears are glowing with a faint pink.

Su Jia: "I thank you whole family! With a smile and scolding, he agreed to raise a cat for her, "What time is the car?" ”

"Six o'clock." With the traffic situation in the ancient city, if you don't leave, you will miss the shuttle. He Tiantian hurriedly explained the cat food and cat litter, grabbed the half-peeled orange on the table and ran, "I don't have to send it when I leave!" ”

Su Jia: "I didn't want to send you ......"

Puyang: "That's my orange ......"

From the window, you can see He Tiantian, who was wearing a bright pink down jacket, took Liu Ziyu to take a car and rushed to the Chengnan Passenger Station. Su Jia then turned to look at the sleeping Lord Hum in the cardboard box, and reached out to touch two handfuls of its oily and slippery fur.

Pu Yang chopped the minced meat in the kitchen with a thump and said dissatisfiedly: "My oranges." ”

Su Jia hurriedly flattered: "Good girl, chop the stuffing well, I'll peel another one for you." "I put the cardboard box with the humming near the radiator, washed my hands and peeled the oranges to prevent the teenagers from going on strike.

The dumpling skin was bought from outside, Puyang chopped the meat filling, and Su Jia had the courage to adjust the taste - "We bought a lot of snacks, if the dumplings can't be eaten, we will eat something else." - Together, they made 100 decent dumplings.

She has a lot of experience in dipping sauces, not a simple combination of vinegar and garlic that is common in the north, but a mixture of shallots, cooked garlic, cooked sesame seeds, fried bean paste, soy sauce, vinegar, peppercorn powder and other seasonings, taste the fragrance.

Because I want to watch a gala, I have an early dinner.

After the hum adults woke up, they quickly adapted to the environment - Su Jia is not a stranger, but a little friend of "its people".

On a small round table that usually serves as a coffee table and a meal table, Lord Hum proudly patrols his new territory and the temporary shovel officer with his head held high.

The temporary shovel officer served diligently, and when steaming the fish, he set aside a piece not to dip in the seasoning, tore it into small pieces and put it on a small plate, and humbly begged Lord Hum to use more.

Lord Hum then condescended, stretched out his delicate tongue and tasted it, expressing his satisfaction, and squinted gracefully to enjoy the food.

Su Jia stretched out her hand to smooth the gray hair ball, and the hair ball twisted comfortably, "meowed" and turned her head proudly, with an expression of "don't disturb my meal". She couldn't help but laugh.

Pu Yang stared at the gray cat coldly, and gave a piece of fish meat to Su Jia: "It's going to be cold!" "It's the most annoying thing to eat if you don't take it seriously!

The complaining temporary shovel officer was eating the fish in his bowl while still observing whether Lord Hum was satisfied.

"I like cats so much, why don't you get one of your own?" Every time he went to He Tiantian's side, he hummed and touched and hugged him, and that greedy look made him feel a little embarrassed.

"Trouble." It is said that if you don't keep a pet well, you will get depression, and raising a pet is like raising a child. "I'll raise you enough."

rubbed it on the young man's head, and Su Jia went to pick up the dumplings again: "Yangyang, you have to be good friends with Hum, and you must know how to be polite to your friends." ”

The boy was furious: "You have touched the cat's hand!" Touch me again! "He didn't admit that he ate a cat's vinegar!

Turning his face, there was an astringent feeling quietly spreading in his heart - are you raising me just like raising a cat?

After eating, washing the dishes at the speed of battle, it was completely dark. Su Jia enthusiastically gave the teenager Amway an afternoon of Spring Festival party - although she complains every year, but from a certain point of view, this kind of program watched by hundreds of millions of people is a spectacle.

The laptop is connected to the wireless network and placed on a small round table; A snack in front of you - fried chestnuts with sugar, mandarin oranges, strange beans, duck neck, chicken feet, pine nuts, dried mangoes; The flower tea is brewed in a thermos cup; Two fingers on the sofa were dragged side by side, a velvet blanket wrapped around the legs and feet, the time was exactly eight o'clock, and the Spring Festival Gala began.

Having been in this world for so long, the boy has often acted as a bystander, distancing himself from the world – which does not have to be deliberately achieved – to observe calmly. Even when confronted with something amazing, he tries not to appear surprised: this is the result of his training since childhood.

Therefore, in the face of the jubilation and excitement that seemed to be all over the world, he just watched quietly, at most secretly praised the exquisite singing and dancing and the gorgeous lighting.

Su Jia, who was sitting side by side with him, sent text messages to greet the New Year, complained about language programs on social networks for a while, and instructed the boy to peel chestnuts for her to eat, and tried to explain and laugh to him, and then asked him earnestly if he wanted to drink water...... It's really scrambling, and it doesn't stop for a moment.

After exploring all the corners of the living room, the hum lord felt a little tired, pulled the blanket and climbed up, found a comfortable place to rest for himself, and lay down comfortably to lick his paws.

Puyang stiffened, staring at the kitten lying on his lap, waiting to throw it away, but he couldn't do it; I wanted to ignore it, but I couldn't help the strange discomfort of the warm body on my knees.

I don't know if it's because of this scene or because of cross talk, Su Jia trembled with laughter, bent down holding her stomach, and Pu Yang looked at her fixedly with dark eyes.

Appreciating the young man's embarrassment, she finally showed mercy and hugged Hum into its nest: "Go to bed obediently, don't disturb my brother watching TV." ”

- You're the cat's brother! Your whole family is the cat's brother!

hummed and whispered a "meow", signaling that his temporary shovel officer could kneel down. So the shovel officer retreated and continued to watch the boring show of human beings...... After all, she's just a human with fish lips, and Hum decides to forgive her for her low tastes.

Seeing that it was twelve o'clock and the countdown to the New Year began, Su Jia trotted open the floor-to-ceiling curtains on the balcony and pointed to the young man to see the sky outside: "Fireworks!" "In recent years, private fireworks have been banned in the city, but fireworks in Qujiang are an exception.

Qujiang Pond, Hibiscus Garden, that is the prosperous legacy inherited from the Tang Dynasty. The fireworks in the sky are clear and extinguished, and thank you for reopening. Su Jia turned his head, and smiled at the young man with the countdown of the New Year's bell: "Happy New Year!" ”

The young man pursed his lips, "When I handed over my son at eleven o'clock." "That is to say, according to the lunar calendar, after eleven o'clock on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the following year.

Su Jia: "...... I know...... "She is a student of history, and she really knows a lot of this kind of cold knowledge," the point is Happy New Year! "Don't worry about the details at this time!

Puyang nodded and replied to her: "Happy New Year." ”

The fireworks dispersed, and the two continued to go back to watch the party. Su Jia was active all night, and finally couldn't move, even her voice was slightly hoarse at this time, and she watched the last cross talk, and she was tired of singing and dancing.

Half an hour later, the closing song sounded as usual. Su Jia listened to it for twenty years and was tired of hearing it: "I don't like to hear this the most!" "Throw down Puyang and run to wash.

Puyang was wrapped in a blanket, still sitting on the sofa, and when he heard the lyrics, he showed a faint smile: "Unforgettable tonight." ”

When Su Jia came out of the bathroom, Puyang had already turned off the computer and cleaned up the coffee table. On the coffee table was a light green plate with two yellow pears in it.

Seeing her come out, the young man gently lifted the fruit stalk, and the sweet fragrance spread all over the room. It's rock sugar pears - dig out the pears pits, stuff them with rock sugar, cover them with fruit stalks, and steam them for a quarter of an hour. Sweet and fresh, it is very suitable for people who stay up late to watch the party.

"Alas, my brother is so virtuous, I can't bear to let him serve his girlfriend in the future......" babbling nonsense while eating.

The young man glared at her angrily, but the effect was not very good, so he had to speak, "Can you shut up?" ”

Su Jia made a gesture of pulling her mouth up, but her eyes were clearly full: I know that you are shy, child.

She was teasing him, and when she realized this, her inexplicable irritability came suddenly. The boy put down the spoon and walked into the bathroom without saying a word and closed the door. In the mirror, his eyes clearly proved that he was impetuous.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, anger was like a fly without a head, disturbing him, but he didn't know what he wanted.

I want to destroy, I want to tear apart, I want to possess.

But what exactly do you want? He didn't know.

Is this sick?

As far as the eye could see, Su Jia's underwear was hanging on the hanger, the color was soft, but it was like a sword piercing straight into the young man's eyes. His heart jumped, and he suddenly turned his face away, and his face was already cloudy.

Su Jia knocked on the glass outside: "Yangyang, I won't bully you, hurry up and come out to sleep." After a pause, he added, "Don't be angry during the New Year." ”

The young man promised through the stained glass: "Hey, I know." You go to sleep first. After the cheeks were restored, he walked out.

It was the first New Year he had ever lived, and he didn't have to worry about someone sending a dagger into his back from the shadows, and it must have been because of the ease with which this rare peace had come that he had the illusion that he was at a loss.

This is a different world, separated by a wall, is his unreliable but very trustworthy cousin. After all, he's happier here than he's ever been before.

Well, Happy New Year.
