Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching in a flash, and before Liang Cicada goes out, Aunt Rong specially called, telling her not to buy gifts this time, just bring her mouth.

Liang Chan agreed, passed by the fruit store, bought a gift box assembled with strawberries and cherries, took a taxi, and went to the Shao family's villa.

Aunt Rong counted the time and came to the door to greet her when she was about to arrive.

"I told you not to buy anything, why didn't you listen." Aunt Rong grabbed her back and patted her, "Didn't you see Aunt Rong?" ”

Liang Chan thought of a statement before getting out of the car: "It's not a gift, it's what I want to eat, and I bought it to eat with you." ”

Aunt Rong didn't understand her careful thoughts, and she didn't pierce it, and smiled and brought her a pair of new cotton slippers.

The whole house was empty, the raging north wind was blocked from the windowpanes, and the interior was warm like spring. The floor is covered with a clean beige gray plush carpet, decorated with some small festive pendants in bright red, and even the doors of the chest of drawers are pasted with pocket versions of Spring Festival couplets. It doesn't seem to be popular, but it's actually very New Year's vibe.

This all depends on Aunt Rong's ingenuity.

Aunt Rong wore a high-necked khaki cardigan, a dark purple down vest, brought fruits, candy, and nuts, and put them on the coffee table to eat: "Are you hungry?" How about getting you some afternoon tea first, and then a hearty meal in the evening? ”

"Sit and rest, I'm not hungry." Liang Chan pulled her to the sofa and sat down.

"Eh, okay." Aunt Rong turned on the TV, picked around with the remote control, and found a funny variety show that young people like to watch, and casually started a topic, "Has Mr. contacted you recently?" ”

There was a giggling voice on the TV, Liang Chan was stunned, and he didn't quite understand why Aunt Rong suddenly mentioned Shao Linfeng: "He...... What's wrong? ”

Aunt Rong sighed: "It's been a long time, he is not in a good mood, he smokes very fiercely, I clean the ashtray every day, there are a bunch of cigarette butts in it." Before leaving, the old man from Beicheng called, I don't know what he said, I sounded like a reprimand, and the gentleman was in a bad mood when he left. He's close to you, and I thought you'd know something. ”

Liang Chan couldn't answer.

Aunt Rong didn't know what happened between her and Shao Linfeng, and when they talked about everything as before, how did she know that now they don't talk about chatting, it is impossible to meet.

If it weren't for Aunt Rong saying that Shao Linfeng had gone to Beicheng, she wouldn't have set foot in this villa today.

Aunt Rong waved her hand: "Don't talk about this, let's watch the show." ”

Liang Chan tried to turn her attention back to the TV, and several hosts announced the rules of the game, but she didn't listen to a word, only remembering what Aunt Rong had just said.

Shao Linfeng has been in a bad mood for a long time?

Was it because of the fight they had last time at the bar? But what right did he have to be angry? She is the one who should be angry, and she is also the one who was deceived and discarded in the first place.

Just as he was thinking, a cell phone rang, drowning out the sound of the TV.

Liang Chan took out his mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, who else could there be besides Jiang Qishu. She smiled at Aunt Rong and got up to answer the phone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside the window there was an evergreen tree, which was still as green as new in winter, and there was a small bird's nest on the branches, and there were no birds to live in, and a handful of unmelted snow fell.

There was a noisy human voice on the other end of the phone, which lasted for a few seconds, and gradually fell silent, probably because Jiang Qishu was away from the crowd. His voice came clearly: "Liang Chan, what are you doing?" ”

"Eat, watch variety shows." She replied with a straight look, no different from the subordinate who reported to work.

Jiang Qishu was dissatisfied; "Why don't you ask me what I'm doing?"

Liang Chan followed his words and asked, "You're so lively over there, what are you doing?" ”

Jiang Qishu was coaxed in an instant, and said with high interest: "When I went to my grandparents' house for the New Year this year, several of my uncles and aunts came, brought a group of children, and made a noise to me. They were still putting Lego snacks on my bed, and my sheets were full of cookie crumbs and spicy red oil, and they smelled bad. ”

He said disgusted words, but his voice was smiling, which showed that he was not complaining, but wanted to share this little thing with Liang Chan.

Listening to his description, Liang Chan can easily imagine such a picture in his mind, it is really warm, a family celebrates the New Year together, and maybe there will be New Year's celebrations and fireworks.

After waiting for a few seconds, Jiang Qishu didn't hear her voice: "Liang Chan, are you listening?" ”

"Hmm."

"Actually, I want to celebrate the New Year with you, this is our first New Year after confirming our relationship, which is very memorable." Jiang Qishu said softly, not wanting to be heard by others.

Liang Cicada was moved, and his heart was like a piece of melted chocolate.

She was too stupid to respond, so she was silent for a moment and said, "I have prepared a New Year's gift for you, and I will give it to you when school starts." ”

Jiang Qishu said excitedly: "I want to find you now!" ”

“…… You calm down. ”

"Xiaoshu, who are you talking to on the phone, come here, the lotus root box made by your aunt is fried, this thing has to be eaten while it's hot!" An old woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, even if she didn't see her, just listening to the voice knew that she had a kind personality and was a kind old lady.

Jiang Qishu turned around and hurriedly responded: "I know, I'll come right away-"

Liang Chan was about to end the phone call, when another female voice rang: "Mom, leave him alone." Ah Shu has a girlfriend, and eighty percent is talking to his girlfriend on the phone, and we eat ours. ”

Liang Cicada was stunned, Jiang Qishu's family knew about her existence?

She wanted to ask Jiang Qishu for confirmation, but she was afraid of hearing that answer, so she hung up the phone in a hurry.

Liang Chan walked back to the sofa with her mobile phone, and her soulless appearance attracted Aunt Rong's attention, and she jokingly asked, "It can't be a call from Xiao Chan's boyfriend, right?" ”

Liang Chan's expression froze.

With such an obvious reaction, how could Aunt Rong not notice it, she raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Really, Xiao Cicada has a boyfriend?" Hurry up and show Aunt Rong which young man is so blessed to win the favor of our little cicada. ”

Liang Chan didn't have a photo of Jiang Qishu in his mobile phone, and she didn't find a photo of her face in his circle of friends for a long time.

It was a big group photo of him and his family. He sat on the couch, smiling brightly, with a little boy of five or six years old in his arms, also grinning, and missing two front teeth.

Liang Chan enlarged the photo, pointed to Jiang Qishu and handed it to Aunt Rong: "This is him." ”

Aunt Rong squinted her eyes and took the mobile phone, looked at it carefully for a few seconds, and praised: "You look so handsome, this smile looks like a cheerful personality, which complements you." ”

Liang Chan smiled and didn't answer.

Aunt Rong asked her again, "Are you a student at your school?" ”

"Well, I studied architecture."

"Although we haven't met, Aunt Rong hopes that he can cherish our little cicada well." Aunt Rong gave her the phone back, stroked her long silky hair, and sighed in a tone of emotion, "If I have the opportunity to meet him, I have to tell him that our little cicada just looks a little cold, and his heart is hot, and he can experience it with more thought." ”

Liang Chan's eyes were hot, he sniffed, and his voice was choked: "Why are you talking about this, let's ...... The difference is quite large, and it is impossible to go to the end. ”

She couldn't describe the story between her and Jiang Qishu to Aunt Rong, it was a feeling that even she couldn't describe, as if the train was running on the established track, and she couldn't predict what kind of scenery she would see if she unconsciously deviated to a fork in the road.

Aunt Rong looked at her disapprovingly: "What age is it now, how can the little cicada be more old-fashioned than Aunt Rong, no matter how big the gap is, it can be overcome, as long as you have the heart, nothing is impossible." ”

The two chatted, and in the evening, Aunt Rong went to the kitchen to cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and Liang Cicada gave her a hand.

Although there are only two people, Aunt Rong didn't plan to be perfunctory, there are chickens, ducks, fish, shrimps, melons, fruits and vegetables, and they are as rich as the hotel's signboard.

They listened to the sound of the TV and began to eat, it was rare to relax, Aunt Rong poured a bowl of rice wine brewed by herself to Liang Chan, and the specific degree was not clear.

Liang Cicada was dizzy from drinking, her little face was red, and she asked Aunt Rong: "I'm embarrassed to ask you, how can you be alone during the Chinese New Year, your family?" ”

Aunt Rong said proudly: "My eldest son is working abroad, and foreigners are not happy for the New Year, so he can't come back." The youngest son is a doctor, have you heard of Doctors Without Borders? Running around the world, he came back to see me a year ago, made sure I was okay and left. ”

Liang Chan was drunk and smirked: "You are amazing." "Raised two excellent sons.

Aunt Rong was embarrassed to be praised.

There was a rustle of car tires crushing the road in the silent yard, and later the sound of the car engine turning off.

The sudden ringing of the doorbell startled her, and she walked to the door, saw the face through the videophone, and opened the door quickly before she had time to be surprised.

"Sir, why are you back at this time?"
