As we get closer and closer to the end of the year, red lanterns are hung on the streets, and the smell of the New Year is gradually beginning to be everywhere.

When he was a child, Zhou Luo was the most looking forward to the New Year, when his family was poor, Zhou Moshan was out all the year round, and Ye Hui often worked overtime. The little girl looked out the window at her grandmother's house, hoping that they would come back.

The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, she was always very excited and couldn't sleep, and her grandmother told her that only if she went to bed obediently, her parents would come back to see her, so she obediently closed her eyes and tried to have a good dream.

The Bai family lived near her grandmother's house at that time, and after eating dumplings on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, he came to play with her, and brought all kinds of new and interesting small firecrackers.

Zhou Luo is timid, never dares to ignite, only dares to play the simplest fairy stick. Bai Luofan recommended a safer drop cannon to her, that is, the kind of firecracker that will explode when thrown into the ground. But I don't know if it's because she's too unlucky, the first time she played the cannon and it didn't go off, she picked it up to check the reason, and the firecracker exploded in her hand.

She was so frightened that she cried, and Bai Luofan was scolded by Lin Xia because of this.

Once she was bitten by a snake, she was afraid of the well rope for ten years, and since then her choice of firecrackers has changed from a differential election to an equal election. Bai Luofan has been responsible for starting firecrackers since he was a child, and Zhou Luo only dared to enjoy it happily on the side, while shaking the safest fairy stick.

In those years, the faint light of the fairy rod illuminated the most immature smiling faces of the two children, and in the flickering lights, they had grown up slowly.

Zhou Moshan's hard work outside finally paid off in Zhou Luo's sixth grade, and his business suddenly improved, and his family became a lot richer. Ye Hui also resigned to help Zhou's father, and her grandmother died of illness, so she was sent to a boarding private junior high school near the Zhou couple's place of work, and even moved her home.

Bai Luofan went straight to a public middle school locally, and the two have lost contact since then.

Later, it may be that she has grown up, or it may be that she is too nervous about studying, and her sense of dependence on her family and parents has suddenly been lost, and the Chinese New Year has lost all its meaning all at once.

"Knock Knock"

A soft knock at the door brought her distant thoughts back.

Ye Hui pushed the door in and said with a smile: "Luoluo, it's almost the New Year, let's go to the mall to buy some New Year's goods." ”

"Okay, I'll get ready." She replied.

She got dressed and went downstairs with Ye Hui, and Zhou Moshan was already waiting in the garage.

The malls before the Chinese New Year are overcrowded, and the most popular ones are meat and sugar.

There were more and more things in the shopping cart, and Zhou Moshan turned back and pushed one. But in fact, the things have been almost bought, and the new shopping cart seems a little deserted.

The family was wandering around the supermarket when they were greeted by a father pushing his little daughter, who was smiling happily in the car with two pigtails and pink little clothes.

"Dad, push it faster!" The little girl's voice was crisp.

The father smiled and said, "Niuniu, grasp it, Daddy is going to speed up!" ”

"Wow, wow, wow!" The little girl clapped her hands excitedly, then grabbed the shopping cart.

Zhou Luo's gaze swept over the father and daughter, and he lowered his eyes silently.

She used to be such a little girl with two pigtails, and she had never had such happiness as she did.

Her movements were too obvious, Zhou Moshan understood what she was thinking, and asked, "Luoluo, do you want to sit up, Dad is also pushing you." ”

Many years ago, she was also very envious of those children who could be held in the palm of their parents' hands. But now, she has grown up, she is no longer a child, and she is still sitting in a small cart at this age, which is really a little embarrassing, she laughed dryly: "No need, how old am I......"

Ye Hui covered her lips and snickered on the side, and said, "How old you are, you are your parents' baby, what's so embarrassing about this, come up, or your father will be idle!" She said as she came to hug her.

Although Zhou Luo is already sixteen years old, he is too thin, except for a little flesh on his face, there is no meat on his body. Ye Hui used to be a nursing, and she often needed to pick up the patient and turn over, and it was very easy to pick up Zhou Luo.

Zhou Luo is really a little embarrassed, everyone is a few years old doll sitting in the car, her more than 100-month-old doll is still sitting here, how weird this picture looks.

But she was already sitting in the car.

"Luoluo, what else do you want to buy, Dad will take you there." Zhou Moshan said with a smile.

She really didn't want to stop here to attract attention, so she said casually: "I want to eat toffee." ”

Zhou Moshan looked very happy, "Okay, let's go to the toffee area!" ”

"Let's go!" Ye Hui also pushed the cart and shouted.

picked out several bags of her favorite white rabbits, and was satisfied, because she could use them to block her face. If this is seen by acquaintances, Zhou Luo feels that her old face will be lost.

I can obviously feel that Zhou Moshan is in a good mood, although Zhou Luo is a little embarrassed, but in fact...... It's still a lot of fun.

"Luoluo, I think this dress looks good, you try it." Zhou Moshan took a pink woolen coat and compared it to her.

Zhou Luo finally got off the small shopping cart for a valid reason and quickly agreed. After putting it on, Zhou Moshan smiled with satisfaction: "Dad used to be too busy to go shopping with you, but in a blink of an eye, you are so old, you are a big girl." ”

After he finished speaking, his heart was sour, he understood very well that some things were missed, and no matter how much he made up for it, it was a dead end.

Zhou Luo looked at himself in the fitting mirror and smiled faintly.

Zhou Moshan waved his hand: "My daughter looks so good in this dress, buy it!" ”

This seems to be the first time in her memory that she went out to buy New Year's goods with her parents, and it was also the first time she sat in the shopping cart and was as happy as a child of a few years old, and it was the first time that she was accompanied by her parents to buy new clothes.

Childhood has passed away, but Zhou Luo feels that those regrets that she thought she could not make up for in this life have been comforted at this moment.

Out of the mall, it started to snow outside again. The snow was falling very densely, but in a moment a thick layer had accumulated on the ground. Zhou Luo carried a large bag of New Year's goods, looked up at the heavy snow flying in the sky, and a few snowflakes fell on his cheeks, which was cold and cold.

She seems to have a special affection for the snowy scenery, as if it was a memory of a past life.

She remembered that there was a scene in "Tang Dynasty" where the land of Saibei was placed, and other map scenes in the game had four seasons, but there was only winter there. When Xiao Zeyu was away, Zhou Luo would always manipulate Luo Congee to wander around the map, and his favorite was the land of Saibei.

Thinking of this, she uncontrollably remembered Xiao Zeyu's disappearance.

Snowflakes fell on her eyelashes, and her crow-like eyelashes trembled slightly.

Ye Hui sorted out the scarf for her, and then hugged her, and she suddenly came back to her senses.

Ye Hui said softly: "Let's go, go home." ”

On the snow, a series of large and small footprints were left, which were traces of the family.
