After dinner, Cao Kouwen packed up the dishes and chopsticks, and took Cao Aiqian to go outside to digest food.

At this time, the snow outside was already three centimeters thick, and the cobblestone streets were already full of snow.

The street is quieter and deeper under the street lamps, and because it is the Chinese New Year's Eve, there are few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally you can meet a few couples snuggling up to each other, or an old couple walking alone in the snow.

"Brother, watch the fireworks!" Cao Aiqian raised his head to look at the night sky, and bright fireworks rose up.

Cao Aiqian pointed to the fireworks blooming in the air and shouted excitedly.

"Hmm." Cao Kowen followed his sister's line of sight and looked at the dark sky.

"Bang bang!"

Colorful and dazzling fireworks, reflecting the dark sky, like stars.

"Have you ever set off fireworks?" Cao Aiqian looked at his brother's bright face and asked softly.

Cao Kouwen shook his head, he grew so big, because he had always been timid and afraid of fire, he had never tried it, and his impression was that his grandfather took him to the fireworks square on the outskirts of the city to see it.

The fireworks quickly dissipated, Cao Aiqian looked unsatisfied, looked at his brother next to him and said, "I'll accompany you tonight!" ”

The two went to a nearby fireworks shop to buy fireworks, and Cao Aiqian took Cao Kowen's hand to a sparsely populated alley. There was no one walking around in the alleyway, and Cao Aiqian pulled his brother to find a quiet location.

"Brother, I'll teach you how to light fireworks!" Cao Ai said with a bright smile.

Immediately, she stretched out her slender and slender fingers and pressed them on the red and blue lighter.

Cao Kouwen stared earnestly at his sister's gesture of lighting fireworks and learned.

When the fireworks began, his hand quickly pressed the lighter, and he hesitated for fear of the sparks splashing on him and quickly ran away.

"Boom-"

With a deafening sound, fireworks burst into the sky, lighting up the entire sky in an instant.

Cao Kouwen was taken aback, and hurriedly covered his eyes, and only opened his eyes after getting used to it.

Seeing his brother's reaction, Cao Ai covered his mouth shallowly, and couldn't help laughing.

As if premeditated, the New Year's bells rang, firecrackers rang out, and a festive atmosphere enveloped every house and corner of Sengkang City, and the light of fireworks lit up the night sky, and the two looked at each other at the same time, and the moment their eyes met, they seemed to be silently blessing each other.

The two of them looked down at the time at the same time, it was already 0 o'clock in the morning.

"Let's go, brother, go home and sleep!"

"Hmm."

…

Due to the heavy snow this year, Cao Aiqian has been nesting on the sofa at home to read information during this holiday, and even less when she goes out, only the last time Ai Xia Xia came to look for her, they went out to wander around the street.

Speaking of Cao Kowen, he went to the company to report in his fourth year of junior high school.

"Knock knock-" There were a few soft knocks on the door outside, and Cao Aiqian raised his head, "Who?" ”

"It's me."

Cao Aiqian listened to the familiar voice and happily trotted over and opened the door: "Aunt Liu, you miss me."

"Why don't you wear shoes? It's cool on the ground. ”

"Hey, I forgot." Cao Ai shrugged and retracted her feet, then hugged Aunt Liu's arm and said coquettishly: "Aunt Liu, why did you come to work at home on the sixth day of junior high school!" Did that kid Cao Kouwen call you here..."

"What Cao Kowen, that kid, no big or small." Aunt Liu rubbed Cao Aiqian's head with a doting look and said, "Your brother goes to work early every year, you have a long vacation, and the weather has been too cold recently, I'm afraid that you will be bored at home alone." ”

Cao Ai pursed his lips slightly: "Then don't you spend more time with your family?"

Aunt Liu closed the door of the villa to prevent the cold air from entering, and while taking off the scarf around her neck and hanging it at the entrance, she was wearing a long gray cotton jacket.

The heating in the house was sufficient, Aunt Liu took off her coat, unbuttoned her neckline and said: "My wife died early, and the children are married, so it is better to come to work early after the year when the house is deserted." ”

Aunt Liu sat on the sofa for a while, looked at the empty teapot, then stood up and walked to the kitchen with a large bag of nylon bags.

Seeing this, Cao Aiqian immediately put down the TV remote control in his hand and ran into the kitchen and asked, "What is this?"

Aunt Liu turned on the natural gas, put the tea stove on it to boil hot water, and replied: "It's a specialty I brought from my hometown, the roasted milk tea that your brother likes to drink, and didn't you say that the old hen outside is not authentic..."

"You remember."

"Of course, you can't eat alone, you have to share it with your brother."

"Got it, I'll make you a cup of coffee to warm up!"

After a while, Cao Aiqian handed two cups of freshly brewed coffee to Aunt Liu, and Aunt Liu took it and said with a smile: "A lot of shallow sensibility, by the way, what about Cao Dong?" ”

"He... I guess I'm still busy in the company! ”

"Oh... Such... Then I'll go make dinner," Aunt Liu finished and took a hen to deal with.

Cao Aiqian lay flat on the sofa, watching "Doraemon" on TV, and couldn't help but sigh: "My brother is a workaholic, no wonder he is still single!" ”

Aunt Liu was busy in the kitchen when she heard this, glanced at Cao Ai and said, "Nonsense, Cao Dong has someone he likes, but..."

"Just what's wrong?" Cao Aiqian sat up excitedly when he heard this.

"Alas! It's just that... The girl went abroad. ”

Cao Aiqian was stunned when he heard this, "No wonder? ”

"If you don't know, he'll wait for the other party to return home..."

"Don't guess? Don't mention this to your brother, and don't mention what I said. Aunt Liu continued to be busy after admonishing her.

Cao Ai lay back on the sofa and continued to flip through the TV, but she couldn't see the plot in her heart, but her mind was full of the love drama between Cao Kowen and the woman she had never met.

"Hahaha... Haha..."Thinking of the emotion, Cao Aiqian couldn't help laughing.

Aunt Liu was stir-frying, turned to look at Cao Aiqian, saw him like this, frowned and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Nothing, nothing." Cao Aiqian shook his head again and again.

"It's weird," Aunt Liu muttered, and continued to be busy.

I don't know how long it has passed, "Knock knock-"

The sudden knock on the door woke up Cao Aiqian, who was sleeping on the sofa, when did he sleep since he had made up the plot in his brain, because the heating in the house was very sufficient, so Aunt Liu covered her with a thin blanket, Cao Aiqian got up in a daze, wrapped the blanket on her body tightly and walked to the door, opened the door, and it was Cao Kowen standing outside the door.

Cao Ai glanced at him, turned sideways to let him in, casually draped the blanket over his shoulders, and then turned back to the living room.

"Brother, won't you open the door yourself?"

Cao Kouwen locked the door, walked to the edge of the sofa and sat down, reaching out and rubbing his forehead.

Seeing this, Cao Aiqian immediately poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

Cao Kouwen took the water cup and looked at it suspiciously: "Rose roasted milk?"

Cao Aiqian had an expression of 'you really understand', "Don't you like to drink?" ”

Cao Kouwen nodded, took a sip, looked up and said to Cao Aiqian, "Aunt Liu is back?" ”

As she was talking, Aunt Liu came from the second floor, muttering as she walked: "Your two brothers and sisters haven't cleaned up the room since I returned to my hometown."

Seeing Cao Kouwen sitting on the sofa, Aunt Liu paused for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly: "I... I just said that Xiao Qian, this girl doesn't know how to clean up. ”

Cao Kouwen stood up and nodded politely, which was regarded as a greeting.
