"And how are you doing tonight?"

In the evening, the night has just begun to fall, the sky is a brilliant blue, the moon and stars open their eyes, firecrackers can be heard in the distance, and fireworks bang in the night sky.

It's Chinese New Year's Eve.

Su Lan hid in the room and talked to Zhang Si on the phone, and her heart was soft at the moment, because she learned for the first time that Zhang Si's parents were gone, and the whole family was alone.

On the phone, Zhang Si comforted her in turn.

After cooking the phone porridge, Su Lan opened the door and went out, suddenly startled, because her mother was standing in front of the door.

"Su, Su, who are you talking to?" asked Su's mother.

Su Su stayed in the room for a long time, Su's father said that his daughter was on the phone, Su's mother saw that he hadn't come out for a long time, so she came out of the kitchen and stood at the door for a while, although she couldn't hear clearly, but she felt that the situation was a little wrong.

Su Lan quickly sorted out his mood and said, "Call a friend to greet the New Year, Mom, is the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner ready?" ”

Su's mother stopped her, stared at her face suspiciously, and asked, "It's been an hour since you've been on the phone with your friends for so long?" ”

Su Lan is an actor, can an actor be seen through by an aunt?

At this moment of crisis, her acting skills further exploded, like fire and innocence, her face did not change, and she said very naturally: "There are so many friends, some of them have been called, some have been called, and some have been called, you see, there are here again." ”

Su Lan handed the phone to Su's mother, and the caller ID was Yang Zhu.

"Then you can take it. ”

Su Lan answered the phone while walking to the kitchen, and said in his heart that he would wrap a big red envelope for Zhuzhu later, this call was too timely.

At this moment, the little red horse school park is quiet.,The night is dark.,None of the melon babies came.,Zhang sighed and hoped that none of them came.。

Seeing that the time was almost up,He put on his coat,Carrying a gift and going out,Lock the Little Red Horse School Park,Drive to the Municipal Party Committee compound。

The guard at the door glanced at the license plate number, saluted, and let him in.

This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, he spent it at his uncle's house.

The car stopped in front of a three-story single-family building, and as soon as Zhang Si came out with a gift, he saw a woman coming out of the small building. She was well-dressed and graceful, she looked less than 40 years old, but her hair was much grayer, and when she saw him, obvious crow's feet appeared at the corners of her eyes when she smiled.

"Zhang, why are you here?" the woman complained slightly.

"On the last day, I had a lot of things at work, and I didn't get off work until just now. Zhang sighed and said, "Come into the house, auntie, it's cold outside." ”

Zhang Si's eldest aunt's name is Qin Huifang, she looked up at Zhang Si and was surprised, sure enough, as the rumors said, Zhang Si has changed a lot, just from the outside, it is completely different from before.

She was happy about this change in him, and thought that Lao Zhang would definitely be happy too.

Zhang Si and Qin Huifang entered the house, and Qin Huifang shouted in the direction of the kitchen.

After a while, a girl in her 20s came out of it, saw Zhang Si, looked at it curiously, and asked, "Zhang Si?"

"It's me. ”

"You've changed so much, what's wrong?"

Zhang Mingxue circled around Zhang Si and looked at the back of his head.

Zhang Si asked strangely, "What are you looking at?"

"I see your braids? Why are they gone? Have you cut them? Did you cut them yourself or were you forced to do so? Aren't your braids a treasure?"

"It's normal for you to change a little more after you graduate. ”

This is Qin Huifang's youngest daughter Zhang Mingxue, that is, Zhang Si's cousin.

Zhang Mingxue, who works at the power company in Pujiang, is 2 years old and 25 years old this year.

On top of her, there is also an eldest daughter, who is married, her home is in Pujiang, and the eldest of the two children is 6 years old.

"You're not changing a little bit, you're a lot bigger. ”

Zhang Si smiled and didn't say anything more, he was used to the surprise of others.

Qin Huifang asked Zhang Mingxue to go to the living room to talk to Zhang Xi, and she went to the kitchen to help Lao Zhang cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

As soon as she left, Zhang Mingxue whispered, "Did Tang Yu find you?"

Zhang sighed and glanced at her in surprise, she even knew Tang Yu, and she seemed to know her.

He had heard the name Tang Yu and often looked for him through text messages and phone calls, but he never paid attention to it.

Zhang Si was very strange, he didn't have much impression of Tang Yu, and he didn't have much memory of her in his mind.

Could it be any other reason? Zhang Si thought to himself, just wondering if he could learn some inside information through Zhang Mingxue, but Zhang Mingxue seemed to just ask casually, and never mentioned it later.

Zhang Si's uncle Zhang Hui came out, glanced at Zhang Si, said coldly, and ignored it.

Zhang Si is used to it, and his uncle is very unkind to him. Because what he did in the past was completely contrary to Zhang Hui's philosophy.

Zhang Si did not sulk because of Zhang Hui's attitude, and his relationship with Zhang Hui was far inferior to Qin Huifang.

Qin Huifang brought the last dish of braised fish and greeted: "Zhang Xi sit up quickly, we are ready to eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, don't see outside, we are your family, here you will be your own home, don't be polite." Xiaoxue, go and bring the dishes and chopsticks, and then bring your father's 30-year-old bottle of Big Bear wine, Zhang Si also drinks, let the two of them drink it tonight. ”

"I'll go get the dishes. ”

Zhang Si was close and went directly to the kitchen to bring the dishes and chopsticks.

As for the wine, he didn't refuse, because Uncle Zhang would take a sip, but because of the nature of his work, he never dared to take an extra sip, even if he returned home, he was also controlled by his eldest mother Qin Huifang.

Today is the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the conditions are relaxed.

If you can't drink it tonight, there will be no chance to drink it for 365 days a year, and the bottle of Big Bear Wine that has been in the house for almost 3 years will be one year older, reaching 34 years.

In the past, Zhang Si would also accompany his uncle Zhang Hui to drink a little, but the reason why he only drank a little was because Zhang Hui's amount of alcohol was seen at a glance, and if he was not careful, he might drink him down.

But one is enough.

After drinking this wine, the uncle, who did not have a good face for him, immediately turned his face from white to red, and became more tolerant and friendly to him.

In the final analysis, it is his own nephew, who has no father or mother, and he doesn't help anyone.

Zhang Mingxue said with a smile while going to get the wine: "Mom, it's not 30 years, it's 33 years." ”

She took the wine, tossed for a while and still couldn't open it, and handed it to Zhang Si to open.

Zhang Si poured a glass for Zhang Hui first, and said with a smile: "Uncle, your hair has turned a lot gray this year. ”

When Zhang Hui heard this, he raised his eyes and looked at him in surprise, which was not like what he would say.

But that's a good thing, he nodded, and with a soothing expression.

Zhang Si said at the same time in his heart that the official authority was also a lot heavier.

He asked Qin Huifang, "Do you want to drink some?"

He remembered that Qin Huifang also drank a little wine.

Qin Huifang said with a smile: "No, no, you can drink with your uncle." ”

"Sigh, pour me some. Zhang Mingxue handed over the cup.

Qin Huifang said: "You are a girl, what kind of liquor do you drink!"

"For the Chinese New Year, I'll drink a little, I still have a little amount, I won't get drunk if I drink a little, I promise! Besides, I'm at home today and won't go out. ”

Qin Huifang agreed, Zhang Si poured some for her, Zhang Mingxue was very dissatisfied, thinking that he looked down on her, and poured her such a little, in her words, she took a sip and it was gone.

Zhang Si poured her half a cup and filled it for herself.

Qin Huifang saw that Lao Zhang still had a stinky face, so she took the initiative to say: "Come, let's raise a glass first, Zhang Si, Xiaoxue, I wish you a happy New Year." ”
