Chapter 8 Preparations
What should I give?
Shi Yu turned back and forth in the room several times, so much so that she felt that the ceiling was about to collapse, and finally she could only sigh and collapse on the bed.
Alas, it's hard to choose a gift!
Forget it, let's see how much money there is.
Shi Yu lay on the floor, tilted her head, and reached under the bed, like a landlubber choking on water in the swimming pool and struggling to find a piggy bank.
I knew that she wouldn't put the piggy bank in such a place, but she didn't prevent the thief, but she guarded herself first.
After wasting her strength for a long time, Shi Yu took out her little pig piggy bank, put it in her ear and shook it, listening to the crisp collision of coins, I don't know if it was her illusion, Shi Yu felt that her money didn't seem to be right?
On the upper bunk, Shi Yu heard Shi Yu's movement under the bed, holding the new toy in the quilt, and turned over a little weakly.
One, two, three......
Shi Yu looked at the coins on her bed, and shook the piggy bank twice with some reluctance, but there was no sound.
Not a single steel hammer is gone, her little pig is clean, and there is nothing in it!
Shi Yu buried her head in the quilt frantically, and her legs moved restlessly.
Where did all her money go?
That's all, what can she buy?
Shi Yu was crazy and squirmed on the bed for a long time.
Suddenly, Shi Yu had a flash of inspiration, she still had last year's New Year's money!
Thinking that it was too late, Shi Yu opened the door and rushed out, shouting loudly: "Mom, Mom, where is my New Year's money last year?"
After a few moments, Shi Yu ran out in a hurry and walked back to the room in a gloomy manner.
Shi's mother said that the New Year's money had helped her save it, and she couldn't give it to her now. She only has the money in the piggy bank to prepare a birthday gift for Yu Xin's brother now.
But where is it?
Shi Yu propped her chin with a cup and looked out the window intently.
Suddenly, the sound of crackling fireworks woke her up, looking at the fireworks blooming in the night, the passionate collision of gorgeous fireworks and cold black curtains, let the New Year's flavor come in advance.
That's right, fireworks!
Fairy Stick!
……
"You're not coming back for the Chinese New Year this year? You haven't been back since last year, and you said you hadn't been home for a long time. What about Xiao Xin's birthday, the child misses you a lot......"
Yu Mu's voice on the phone was originally soft, but after deliberately lowering her voice in the back, Yu Xin couldn't hear what they were saying.
But it's nothing more than that Yu's father said that the army is busy and can't come back, so he can't celebrate the New Year together, and he can't spend his birthday with him.
Anyway, it's not the first time.
He used to sit at the door with a small bench, expecting his father to suddenly open the door, give him a hug, and say to him, son, Dad is back.
Later......
The appearance of his father has long been blurred in his heart, and the only thing he remembers is the back of him leaving with his luggage.
He's used to it.
"Xiao Xin, don't you want to say a few words to your father?"
Hearing Yu's mother's inquiry outside the house, Yu Xin's action of flipping the book froze, and his back became straighter and straighter, but his fingertips were a little white, and with a tearing sound, a small hole was torn off the corner of the page.
It didn't break, but it left a small gap, which remained on that page forever and could not be repaired.
Yu Xin was silent.
"Forget it, the kid is reading. Well, you should pay attention to your body over there, and remember to write a letter to your home and make a phone call when you have time. Don't worry, my son and I are fine at home, waiting for you to come back. ”
The phone was hung up.
After Yu Xin heard the sound of the lock of his room door turning, he hurriedly pretended to be reading a book, stiffening like a sculpture.
It wasn't until the door closed again that Yu Xin's body relaxed, and he couldn't help but take a few deep breaths.
Yu Xin forcibly suppressed the astringency in his heart, raised his hand, and saw the candy on the table, Yu Xin put the sugar in his mouth and wrapped it with his tongue, the sweetness of fructose instantly swept through his mouth, but he couldn't suppress the grievances and thoughts that surged in his heart.
Crackle Crackle –
The sound of fireworks outside the window was endless, and Yu Xin accidentally touched the cup on the table in the room, and the water wet the book.
It also wet the old photo with yellowed corners in the book.
In the photo, a young couple snuggles up to each other, holding a baby about two or three years old in the middle.
……
"Ouch, this is Shi Yu and Shi Yu, right? It's so big in a blink of an eye, and they're all in elementary school, right? ”
"yes, it used to be so small in my arms, but now it's so tall."
Shi's mother was on the sofa, laughing and chatting with a group of relatives, married women with children, and most of the topics they got together were still around children.
"I heard the child and her grandmother say, what is Shi Yu learning to dance? There are so many elders here today, or Yu will give us a performance from time to time! ”
"Okay, come, Xiaoyu, put on a show for the elders."
Shi Yu, who was suddenly named, saw a room of elders throwing loving and expectant eyes at her, Shi Yu silently put down the pig's trotters in her hand, and took out a piece of paper to wipe the oil on the corner of her mouth at a loss.
She learned ice dance, not dance.
Caught off guard, Shi Yu also added fuel and vinegar to the side: "Sister, I also want to see you dance, I think you dance so well!"
Huh, sister?
Seeing Shi Yu's underslaught, Shi Yu couldn't wait for a pig's trotter to slap him in the face.
Without waiting for her to refuse, Shi Yu was already framed by Shi Mu in the middle of the living room, properly the focus of the crowd.
She had no choice but to bite the bullet.
Shi Yu's scalp was a little numb, and she struggled to death. With a twinkle in his eyes and a finger in his little hand, he offered to jump with Shi Yu.
My dear brother, how could my sister forget you for such a rare good thing?
Shi Yu, who watched the excitement but saw himself in, under the threat of Shi's mother pinching his Ultraman neck, reluctantly danced "Two Tigers" with Shi Yu with a sad face.
After the dance, the sisters and brothers were embarrassed at the dinner table, eager to bury their heads in the rice bowl and not say a word.
However, the elders are still enthusiastic, praising and chatting non-stop, and there is a happy scene for the whole family.
After a while, after eating, Shi Yu secretly gathered Mimi next to Shi Mu, who was chatting on the side, grabbed Shi Mu's sleeve and whispered that she wanted to go back early.
If she doesn't go back, she won't have time to prepare.
Shi Mu would not listen, waving her hand perfunctorily, but her mouth was still chatting.
The elders on the side chatted enthusiastically, and Shi Yu was anxious like ants on the hot pot.
Shi Yu looked sideways at the clock on the wall, turning it minute by minute, and her heart was even more anxious.
It's over, she's not going to miss the appointment, right?
……
"Xiao Xin, is this TV good-looking?"
Yu's mother watched Yu Xin fidgeting on the sofa, her eyes peeking at the clock from time to time, the whole person was in a state of nowhere to put it, in short, her heart was as anxious as if her heart had been gnawed by ants.
Yu Xin absentmindedly responded twice and continued to stare at the clock.
Shi Yu called him yesterday and said that he would go to the park with him to set off fireworks tonight, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep last night after tossing and turning in bed, and when he got up this morning, he could see a layer of light black green.
I started staring at the time early in the morning, for fear of missing it.
Pretty?
Yu's mother looked at the black TV in disbelief, she didn't turn on the TV, where did it look good?
Yu Xin is very good-looking today.
Yu Mu looked at Yu Xin suspiciously, Yu Xin got up early this morning and pampered herself in front of the mirror, and changed into the red down jacket she bought for him, which made her face whiter and fairer. The shiny hair was probably stealing her hair oil, her eyes were wandering, her nervous fingers were constantly rubbing against her side, and she was staring out the window and smirking from time to time.
No, how did she think something was wrong with his son.
This looks like the scene when she was waiting for Yu's father to go on a date?
For a moment, Yu Mu couldn't help but want to ask out loud, but Yu Xin on the side suddenly stood up and startled her.
"Mom, I'll go downstairs and take out the trash." Yu Xin waited until the time was almost up, and after estimating that he could arrive about an hour earlier, he ran to the door to put on his shoes and shouted.
Behind.
Yu Mu looked at Yu Xin, who went out to take out the garbage with two empty garbage bags, and fell into deep thought.
……
On the other side, the Shi family.
As soon as Shi Mu opened the door, Shi Yu rushed into the room in a hurry and closed the door.
It's too late, it's almost too late!
finally waited until Shi's mother was ready to come back after chatting about homework, but there was a traffic jam on the road, and now there is not much left before the appointed time, Shi Yu feels that she is now competing with time.
As soon as she entered the door, Shi Yu laboriously pulled out the fairy stick she had asked for from Lin Shien from under the bed.
She didn't have enough money to buy a few fairy sticks, so she used the few dollars to buy spicy strips and candy in exchange with Lin Shien as a thank you gift.
One, two, three, and shouted a few more words in her heart, Shi Yu finally pulled the fairy stick out of it.
Shi Yu leaned against the edge of the bed, sat on the floor, and after counting the number of fairy sticks, she quickly put them in a black pocket and put them in a black pocket.
Otherwise, when Shi's mother sees it later, she won't be able to explain it.
After putting the fairy stick away, Shi Yu moved another bench and stood, stood on tiptoe, stretched out her hand with difficulty, and finally saw the clothes she was looking for at the bottom of the wardrobe above.
After Shi Yu struggled to pull out Shi Yu's Ultraman suit, she held on to the wardrobe and carefully got off the bench.
On the ground, leaning back, Shi Yu fell head-on on the bed.
Shi Yu lifted her waist and got up in pain, but then hit the back of her head on the bed board of the upper bunk.
In an instant, Shi Yu crooked her mouth and cried out in pain.
What's going on?
She's not on the ice anymore, how can she fall straight at home?
Is she cursed?
Suddenly, after Shi Yu stood up, she hurriedly groped in front of the mirror to put on the Ultraman costume.
This zipper is too difficult to pull, and the clothes are still a little loose.
Shi Yu is taller than her, she is thinner than him, and she is slightly out of shape when she wears it.
However, fortunately, Shi Yu hasn't come back yet, otherwise she would have been forked out by Shi Yu before she touched the clothes.
After Shi Yu put it on, she turned around in front of the mirror twice and then lifted her clothes up again, and pulled down the hood again.
Well, everything is fine, it's just that the view from the inside is a little blurry.
It shouldn't get out of the way, though.
Okay, let's go!
"Mom, I'm out to take out the trash, I'll be back later." Shi Yu stumbled to the door, hid the fairy stick behind her and was about to go out, but she didn't know that she was clearly seen by Shi Mu.
Throwing out the garbage?
There is still garbage in the trash can, where is it gone?
Or throw garbage in an Ultraman suit?
Scold.
After Shi Yu left, Shi Mu crossed Erlang's legs, turned on the TV, and called on the landline, "Hey, yes, my Xiaoyu also went out, let me tell you......"
