The world is very bitter, you are very sweet

When he arrived at the dormitory, Xu Jingheng took out the violin, but Tang Geyu helped him put the violin into the bag.

Xu Jingheng was puzzled, "Why did you put it on again? Did you stop listening?"

Tang Geyu put the piano case on his back, raised his hand and pinched his chin, "Do you want to watch the fireworks?"

"fireworks?"

"Hmm. Want to see it?"

Xu Jingheng nodded, "I want to..."

"Then go and see." Tang Geyu took Xu Jingheng's hand and walked out the door, "I heard that there are dozens of them put together, let's find the best place and wait."

Xu Jingheng was slightly taken aback, "Now?"

"Now."

"Where to go?"

"On the mountain."

They walked down the stairs holding hands, and in this unique night when all the classes in the school were lit up, they ran towards their... more unique night.

Tang Geyu didn't take Xu Jingheng up the mountain directly, but went to North Street first to buy candied haws.

There is a small street in North Street, which both Xu Jingheng and Tang Geyu are familiar with.Xu Jingheng told Tang Geyu that he thought the sign of that street was the old fortune teller at the entrance of the convenience store.

This year's New Year's Eve was very festive, the entire North Street was full of people, and it was very lively.As the New Year approaches, the red lanterns at the door of every household are also hung up, and the window paper is pasted up. At night, when the warm light shines, the whole street looks brightly lit, festive and comfortable, the so-called world.

The people at the street stalls outside the alley yelled more vigorously than usual, and the people eating in the snack bar smiled more happily than usual.The old man selling couplets sat at the corner of the street and laughed and chatted with others, and the three or four uncles who gathered together to play poker yelled louder than anyone else.

The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family was wasting a lot of money with the old woman who sold lanterns, and she insisted on asking the old woman to give her a few more dollars. Tian's lollipop was a joy.

The older child, about five or six years old, is pulling the adult's trouser leg, begging to buy a Barbie doll.

There were people coming and going on the street, there were young couples who came out to watch movies and go shopping together, and some boys took the opportunity to show their affection to the girls they liked.There are three or two rows of students standing by the grilled cold noodle stand, clasping their frozen red hands, waiting for the grilled cold noodles that are about to be ready, and a few men are drinking and bragging in the restaurant.

There are also Tang Geyu and Xu Jingheng.

The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and the wind is getting colder and colder.

Tang Geyu took Xu Jingheng's cool hand, walked through the bustling and bustling street, and went to an alley opposite the old fortune teller.

Xu Jingheng had never entered this alley before, but now that Tang Geyu took him in, he found that there was a small street at the entrance of the alley, which was also a busy market, mostly selling snacks.

"Wow..." When Xu Jingheng came to this kind of place, he felt that his eyes were not enough. Those small stalls were too attractive for him to see, and the most unbearable thing for him was to walk from each stall. The strong fragrance that emanates.

He is hungry again.

Tang Geyu was still leading him forward, but he couldn't move anymore, so he held Tang Geyu's hand, "Tang Geyu."

Tang Geyu turned around, saw some snow falling on his head, raised his hand to gently stroke it off, "What's wrong?"

Xu Jingheng raised his head slightly, took Tang Geyu's hand and placed it on his stomach, "Gulu Gulu..."

Tang Geyu laughed and patted his stomach, with a gentle expression and a bit of pampering in his words, "Master Xing Xing, are you hungry?"

"Um……"

"Then what do you want to eat?"

Xu Jingheng was happy, she stood on tiptoe and pointed to the small stall next to the big tree behind her, "That! It smells so good!"

Tang Geyu's eyes followed Xu Jingheng's hand. He knew that shop sold non-spicy cooked food, "Okay, let's eat that first."

He held Xu Jingheng's hand tightly, and led him to the stall next to the tree.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man. Seeing Tang Geyu approaching, he greeted him a few steps away, "Hey, Geyu is here?"

He moved his eyes to the side and put them on Xu Jingheng, "I also brought a friend."

"Well, Uncle Liu, Happy New Year."

Uncle Liu responded happily, "Happy New Year, Happy New Year!"

Xu Jingheng was slightly surprised, and quietly asked Tang Geyu: "Do you know him?"

"Well, I think he grew up watching him."

"Wow……"

"Wow what?"

"It's okay." Xu Jingheng shook his head.

Just a little envious, envious of Uncle Liu.

When they approached the stall, Xu Jingheng began to swallow.

There is three delicacies soup rolling in a medium-sized stove, and there are several iron plates on the stall with various meat and vegetarian foods, all of which are strung together with bamboo sticks.Uncle Liu still has a few small dishes of sauce on hand.

Uncle Liu wiped his smock twice with his hand, "Look what to eat, uncle won't charge you for the festival today."

Tang Geyu shook his head with a serious expression, "No need for Uncle Liu, it's not easy for you to make some money."

Uncle Liu smiled and said, "Oh...how much can you two children eat? Uncle Liu invited you to see what you can eat."

"It's really unnecessary..."

Uncle Liu's tone was strong, "Stop arguing with Uncle Liu, I can't treat you to big fish and meat, Uncle Liu can still treat you to a few skewers of three delicacies."

"Okay..." Tang Geyu sneered, and silently turned his face to Xu Jingheng, "Tell Uncle Liu when you see what you want to eat. Uncle Liu will cook it for you. This is not spicy."

"Oh..." Xu Jingheng said to Uncle Liu, "Thank you."

Uncle Liu waved his hand, "You're welcome, Ge Yu's friend, take whatever you want."

So Xu Jingheng began to want to eat and take whatever he wanted.

Uncle Liu's smile froze when Xu Jingheng handed him the No.20 Four Skewers of Three Fresh Tang.

He took the string of mushrooms from Xu Jingheng's hand with a forced smile, and glanced at Tang Geyu in the snowy night shrouded in the red light of the lantern, "Geyu, your friend is quite edible... Ha..."

Tang Geyu was a little embarrassed, "Uh..."

He wanted to say that it was indeed edible, but he didn't dare, so he could only say awkwardly: "24 skewers...it's actually not bad...hehe..."

Xu Jingheng had a cute face.

After all the skewers were cooked, they sat on the small chairs by the stall and waited to eat.The bitter cold wind made Xu Jingheng's ears turn red.

Tang Geyu raised his hand and touched his ear, "I told you to wear a hat and you didn't wear it, is it comfortable now?"

"I wear that hat, and they say I'm a woman, so I don't wear it." Xu Jingheng was greedy for the warmth of Tang Geyu's hand, and didn't want him to take it away, and even wanted to hug him.

"Who said you are a woman? Does anyone else dare to say that about you besides me?"

Xu Jingheng puffed his face, "Say... but no one said..."

It's just that people always call him sister-in-law.

Tang Geyu covered his ears with one hand, "Be obedient, wear a hat when it's cold."

"I don't want to wear it... if I wear it, someone will... oh..."

Inexplicable.

It is somewhat shameful for a boy to be called sister-in-law.But if Tang Geyu is the eldest brother, his shame brings some shyness.

The skewers were tumbling in the stove, and Xu Jingheng's saliva had been swallowed countless times.Perhaps because he saw his expression of being too hungry and thirsty, Uncle Liu let out a chuckle in his rough voice, "There is no need to rush this, you can only eat it when it is cooked, just wait."

"Oh..." Xu Jingheng shrank his shoulders, a little embarrassed.

Uncle Liu asked him, "Haven't I seen you before?"

Tang Geyu answered, "He doesn't live here, he doesn't come here often."

"This child..."

Tang Geyu smiled, "He's from City S, he wasn't here before."

Uncle Liu nodded, "Well, let me tell you, this kid doesn't look like a local. There is no one among our locals who is as white as a girl. He doesn't look like a local when he hears his accent."

……

Xu Jingheng sighed softly in his heart.Seventeen, he is already seventeen, does it have to wait until the age of unshaven, can someone not say that he looks like a woman?

Tang Geyu bumped into his shoulder, he didn't look good, "Why..."

Tang Geyu smiled provocatively in his ear, "Good boy, put on the hat from now on, the fact that you look like a girl...has nothing to do with the hat."

"Go away!" Xu Jingheng cursed in a low voice, raised his foot and mercilessly chopped Tang Geyu's toe.

Tang Geyu frowned in pain, "Tsk... I forgot that you have practiced Foshan Shadowless Kick..."

"cut."

"By the way... can girls also practice Foshan Wuying Kick to this level? You..."

"Tang Geyu!" Xu Jingheng was depressed, raised his hand and twisted his shoulder, "Why don't you get your eyes checked? If you don't know how to get to the hospital, just take a taxi!"

He twisted a few times in frustration, then clenched his fists to punch again, "Can you talk! Can you talk?!"

Tang Geyu screamed, "Wrong, wrong..."

Uncle Liu joked: "Ge Yu, haven't you always been the one who bullies others? Why are you being bullied now? Are you a mess?"

"That's not true." Tang Geyu looked at Xu Jingheng, "This is my elder brother. Don't you have to let him bully you in front of my elder brother?"

"Hey, is there anyone else who can be your big brother?"

"Yeah... Don't think he looks like a girl, but he's actually quite..."

"Tang Geyu!" Xu Jingheng stared fiercely at Tang Geyu with his facial features ferocious, "Why don't you just donate your eyes if they are useless?!"

"Hahaha……"

Tang Geyu's ruthless ridicule was exchanged for more than ten minutes of comfort.

Xu Jingheng's anger dissipated after eating the skewers, after all Tang Geyu said he would take him to buy candied haws.

He saw Tang Geyu secretly stuffing a hundred dollars into Uncle Liu's money bucket, but Uncle Liu didn't notice.

After eating, Xu Jingheng felt lazy all over, and his walking pace was no longer as brisk as before, and he seemed to be about to stop.

Tang Geyu still held his hand, and from time to time he raised his hand to touch his ear twice to convey some warmth, "In the future, you must wear a hat when you come out. If your ears are really cold, it will be itchy and painful. It will be very uncomfortable."

Xu Jingheng pouted, "Understood..."

He looked up at Tang Geyu, "Then why don't you wear it? Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

"Do you think I look very cold?" Tang Geyu wrapped Xu Jingheng's ears with both hands, "Does it look like a hot water bottle?"

Tang Geyu's hand was very warm, and Xu Jingheng was a little reluctant to let him put it down because of the warmth that was passed on.

Xu Jingheng stood under the tree with his hands in his pockets, there was a small stone in the snow, he kicked it away casually, "Thank you..."

Tang Geyu chuckled.

A gust of cold wind blew head-on, causing Xu Jingheng's cheeks to hurt slightly.He took off Tang Geyu's hands and held them, not wanting Tang Geyu's hands to be blown by the cold wind.

Going further down this small street, you can see some dilapidated small tile houses.One of the tile houses is the most unique in this small alley. Two big red lanterns are hung under the eaves, and two lighting lamps are hung next to the lanterns. There is a small stall under the lamp, surrounded by many people.

The darker the night, the more people there are.

But the people on the street were all happy, and no one noticed the two boys holding hands under the tree.
