Chapter Fifty-Six: One Year Old in the Sound of Firecrackers
It was late at night, the party was still going on, and Green went back to his office. He grabbed a cup of coffee and stood in front of the window, looking at the crowd of revelers outside, and his heart was surprisingly peaceful. "This is just the beginning of ......," said Green, a commoner, to himself. "President E, do these greedy guys think this is what I want?" Green, the next president of country E, continued to mutter: "No, the president of country E is just a node on the road. At this point, it will lead to war! Let the flames of war destroy that ignorant and cruel nation! Let them get the eternal life they want in the flames!"
Outside the window, the ceremonial flowers rose, colorful ceremonial flowers bloomed in the air, and a ceremonial flower rose to the highest point, and there bloomed a few colorful characters: "The world is beautiful because of you!"
To Green!"
Green, the future president of country E, who will make the world more beautiful, was born into a merchant family, he spent his youth in Yoni, he had a friend named Tiger when he was a child, and his first lover was called Selene.
But that's not the point, from a very young age, Green was told that his ancestors were famous scientists and that their ancestors had been to Syria. There, Grimm's ancestors propagated science and awakened the ignorant with knowledge. But as the influence of Ancestor Grimm grew, the Syrians took notice of him. They seized Grimm's ancestor, tied him to the platform, and set it on fire. The reason is that Green's ancestors were heretics, and he propagated the heresy of the Circle!
Luckily, the ancestor's wife fled back to country E with her children. And as a family with a good rigorous scientific spirit, the descendants of the ancestors swear that all descendants of the family must remember this history, take revenge for their ancestors, and make that ignorant and cruel nation pay the price!
Green always believed that he had inherited the best genes and virtues of his ancestors, and of course, hatred!"Since it can't be changed, let this ignorant people perish!", this is what Green had already thought out when he frolicked by the pond with Tiger and dated Selene!
(Do you still remember the narrative in "Its Incompatibility"?) and the description of science and superstition in "Yan Yun Miao, Yun Out of Xiu": "Back then, the scientific genius said that the earth was round, and then he was burned by the Syrian religion as an alien fire.") ”)
After the general election of country e, it is the New Year, the New Year of Yanqi, and the New Year of the world. Country E and Syria also have their own calendars, often referred to as the E or Syriac calendar, but the global timekeeping method is based on the Yanqi calendar. The Yanqi calendar has a history of 10 million years, and the calendar divides the year into four seasons and one season into six hours. When it rains, when snow falls, when it's the longest and when it's the shortest, it's all precise.
The ancient Yan people's understanding of time came from celestial bodies. According to legend, there is a celestial body in the sky called "Tai Sui", every year passes, Tai Sui will come once, and every time he comes, Tai Sui will derive a piece of flesh in the corresponding direction, this is the incarnation of "Tai Sui", named "Yinhan"; Tai Sui has always been regarded as a mysterious and unpredictable thing, with the power to dominate and influence people's destinies in the dark. It is said that Yinhan will pull the world back to the beginning of the year at the last moment of the year. If people go to sleep on this night, then when they wake up again, they will go back to the moment they started the previous year and repeat the life of the year again, without knowing it. In order to be able to spend this night peacefully and let life go on, people will stay up late at the last moment of the year to keep the New Year and set off fireworks, so that they will not fall asleep, and at the same time drive away the hateful devil Yinhan.
Shi Lei is very busy during the Chinese New Year this year, one is because there are a lot of relationships that need to be moved around during the Chinese New Year this year, and the other is because Tingting is celebrating the New Year in East Lake this year. And the reason why Tingting spent the New Year in East Lake was that Tingting was pregnant......
Someone said that the lover's story was a man's tiredness and two women's tears. Shi Lei is now deeply touched by this, and after walking around the last relationship, Shi Lei called home and said that the company still had some things, and heard his wife impatiently said over there: "Come back soon after finishing your errands, I'm wiping things here, hanging up." Shi Lei put down his phone, started the car, and drove towards the community, deeply surrounded by a feeling of apology.
On the morning of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the traffic in East Lake is extremely good. Imagine how sad it is to drive for nearly an hour every day when it takes 20 minutes to drive, and suddenly one day, you find that it usually takes nearly an hour to get there, and it only takes 15 minutes to arrive.
Before the key could be used to open the door, Tingting had already opened the door and threw herself into his arms. Shi Lei knew that Tingting had been looking at the window, and he was moved in his heart, and gently softened Rou Tingting's hair. The two entered the house, and the house was very tidy, but judging from the not very neat bedding, Tingting did not ask a nanny, but cleaned it up by herself.
"Didn't you say that you should find a part-time worker?" Shi Lei frowned and said: "It's not even three months old, and it's easy to have problems when the activity is big." ”
"I didn't do anything, it's almost the New Year, and the hourly work is quite expensive. Tingting listened to Shi Lei's criticism with satisfaction.
"It's not that you don't have money, don't save that little. Shi Lei sat on the sofa and watched Tingting bring a plate of dishes. This was discussed before, Shi Lei would accompany Tingting for the New Year at noon and go home at night......
"I have to save a little, in case one day you don't care about the two of us......" Tingting put the steamed fish on the table, lifted up, and gently rubbed her lower abdomen with her hands. At first, it was still a joke, but it was really sad as he spoke, and a tear gently slid down his cheek.
"Don't talk nonsense!" Shi Lei's heart also tightened: "I won't." Shi Lei stood up and hugged Tingting.
For men, if you are just acting on the spot, you can leave nothing behind, but once you are really emotional, then you are a pickled girl and a husband.
And what about women? The difference between a woman and a girl is whether she has a child of her own. Someone once said that a woman's mind in the first half of her life is on men, and a woman's mind in the second half of her life is on her children.
The current Shi Lei and Tingting are such men and women......
Tingting's dishes are ready to eat now, at least they won't be salty and difficult to put in their mouths, and the fish won't even clean up, and they will be steamed together with the internal organs.
"Is it delicious?", Tingting looked at Shi Lei, obviously waiting for Shi Lei's affirmation. For this table, she didn't just prepare for a day.
"It's delicious!" Shi Lei looked at Tingting's expectant eyes, he was a little moved, took another big bite, and then looked at his watch: "I have to go......" Tingting was silent, stood up silently, put on a coat for Shi Lei, and opened the door silently. Shi Lei walked to the door, suddenly seemed to remember something, turned around and said, "Oh, that's right." This has a card, and the password is the birthday.
Tingting took it expressionlessly, still silent. Shi Lei handed Tingting another storage disk, and then said to Tingting: "This is a storage disk, you can help me put it away." Remember, this storage disk is 10,000 times more important than that card!" Tingting still silently took the storage disk, without saying a word. Shi Lei knew Tingting's feelings at this time, gently hugged her into his arms, and then said, "Good, I will call you in the evening." The door closed behind him, Shi Lei sighed softly, and turned to go downstairs.
When Shi Lei's car drove out of the community, in a floor-to-ceiling window in the community, a girl was caressing her abdomen, looking at the car that was gradually leaving, and burst into tears. Next to the girl, there is a table of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner without a few bites; on the table, there are two things, one is a storage disk, the other is a bank card worth trillions, this card is enough for a mother and son to live without food and clothing for a lifetime.
"Remember to give me a call. When Shi Lei opened the door, he deleted Tingting's text message. Before the door was fully opened, her daughter rushed out of the back room, shouting: "Dad~~~", and threw herself into Shi Lei's arms~~~
This year's Chinese New Year, in the villa in East Lake, everything is the same, except that there is no father;
This year's Chinese New Year, in the houses of West Lake, they are all the same, but they are missing their sons.
This year, no one in Master Chen's family called Dad. This year, Master Chen is going to celebrate the New Year by himself. It was already evening, the sound of firecrackers outside the window had gradually sounded, and Master Chen was sitting silently in the house, without turning on the lights, and next to a glass of old wine was a plate of peanuts and beans. This is his entire Chinese New Year's Eve dinner this year.
"Bang Bang Tie", Master Chen heard a knock on the door. When he opened the door, Master Chen saw Zhilan and Ruyan standing at the door.
"That, master, we want to find a place to cook Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Can I survive with you?" Zhilan asked silly as she filled her hands with all kinds of purchased things.
"Come in. Sweet, sour, oil, salt, find yourself. Keep that fish for me, and I'll make you West Lake vinegar fish. Master Chen turned around and entered the house, saying as he walked, somehow his nose was a little sour.
Yes, Ruyan stayed in West Lake for the New Year this year, and after noon, they went to Li Banxian's house, talked with the old man for an afternoon, and then threw down those foods, and came to the house of Chen Zihao, the master of Zhilan.
The vinegar fish in West Lake is really good, and it is really Master Chen's specialty dish. Coupled with a few fresh side dishes like smoke and Zhilan's stewed pig's trotters, today's Chinese New Year's Eve meal is rich and colorful. Zhilan accompanied Master Chen to drink a few glasses of old wine, and received a call from Xun Huan.
"What's the matter, if you don't exercise in bed tonight, you can take your younger siblings to the West Lake to watch the fireworks?" said Xun Huan.
"Can't you accumulate some virtue? I want to exercise, not anytime, anywhere? Wait, we'll be over in a moment. Zhilan whispered and hung up the phone.
Ruyan asked softly, "Who is it?"
"Xun Huan, he asked us to go to the West Lake to watch the fireworks together. Zhilan replied.
"Go ahead, it's almost starting now. Master Chen said beside him......
Zhilan and Ruyan came out of Master Chen's house and drove to the West Lake. It's so far from the lake, but it can't be driven anymore, and it's full of people. Zhilan called Xun Huan, and Xun Huan answered, but the crowd was so strong that they couldn't hear each other at all, and finally figured it out: "I can't find each other, so I just play with each other." ”
Zhilan is very satisfied with this result, because before the Chinese New Year, Zhilan had already tried Ruyan. Ruyan seemed to agree with him.
At the beginning of the new year, Zhilan will enter the reincarnation realm with Ruyan, and then roll the sheets there for the first time!
"Bang~" The first fireworks went up. "Oh~~~" was followed by cheers from the people.
"Bang" The second fireworks are in the air! People start counting down!
That's the custom of the New Year in West Lake~~~ When the third wave of fireworks takes off in the sky, the New Year will come~~~!
“5...... ,4...... ,3...... ,2...... ,1!”
When the third beam of fireworks rose into the air, Zhilan held hands like smoke and closed his eyes together~~~!!!
(Yan Lan wishes you all a happy Chinese New Year!)
