bud

The snow became smaller and didn't stop all night. There was already snow on the road. Jiang Yu followed Xu Meiyin to uncle Xu Qing's house early in the morning. Blow and wobble.A few children were firing cannons on the road, Jiang Yu watched from the car, and Xu Meiyin drove the car into the alleyway so he gradually lost sight of the children.

Old Madam Yu was sitting in the courtyard basking in the sun. She couldn't hear Jiang Yu calling her after she got old, and she didn't recognize until someone walked in.Jiang Yu called out again: "Grandma."

"Xiao Yu?" Granny Yu stretched out the cane with one hand and the other, "Hands are so cold, wear more!"

Jiang Yu squatted in front of her, and pulled his sweater to show her: "I wear a lot, I'm not cold."

Granny Yu held Jiang Yu's hand tightly, stood up and walked towards the house: "Come."

The room is very simple, with a simple bed and a table. Jiang Yu glanced at the bed covered with quilts, and it shouldn't be cold when sleeping.

Several cartons of milk were placed on the table, and Mrs. Yu opened the red bag and took a few small cakes and stuffed them into Jiang Yu's hands: "Your second aunt came to bring them for me yesterday, they are delicious."

Jiang Yu was quite full in the morning, but he didn't want the old man to be unhappy and reached out to catch it.Old lady Yu took out a box of milk and asked Xu Qing to scald it with boiling water. Jiang Yu accompanied her to bask in the sun and took a bite of bread.

Xu Meiyin went to the kitchen to help Xu Qing, while Jiang Yu sat and chatted with the old man all morning.Mrs. Yu would ask him about his studies, and after she finished asking, she patted his hand and said, "Okay, I will be promising in the future."

At noon, there was movement outside. Jiang Yu opened his eyes and looked at the gate, and found that it was a little boy who ran in. He was getting fatter after not seeing him for a while.Then a person came in, carrying a lot of things in both hands.

Xu Fei also saw Jiang Yu, and shouted to him: "Xiao Yu, come quickly and help me carry some, I'm exhausted."

Jiang Yu helped her put things into the house, and when she came out, Xu Fei was already talking to Old Madam Yu, afraid that the old man couldn't hear her, she raised her voice very loudly: "Very good, very good!"

Mrs. Yu said, "Your mother just came here yesterday."

"She is her and I am me. Are you not happy when I come to see you?" Xu Fei has always been sweet-talking, coaxing the old man to be happy, "I won't leave at noon, uncle, make more dishes!"

Looking at Jiang Yu while speaking, Xu Fei was stunned: "How long has it been since you grew so tall? Oh, I'm afraid the clothes I bought for you can't be worn, they're too small."

Jiang Yu smiled: "Sister Fei, have you bought me clothes?"

"That's right, I went to the mall to pick it out for you." Xu Fei saw him from head to toe again, and said, "I'll go to the mall the day after tomorrow to change you into a bigger size one, and I'll go to your house in two days."

Jiang Yu's second aunt, Xu Chun, gave birth to Xu Fei when she was young. At that time, she was very busy with work and didn't have much time to take care of the children.So Xu Meiyin will always bring Xu Fei to her side. This area has been around for a few years. Xu Fei has been very close to their family. She has been very kind to Jiang Yu since she grew up. She has often bought him food, clothing and clothes since she was a child Yes, it hasn't changed until now.

Xu Fei's son Li Dongdong can talk non-stop at a young age, which makes the old man very happy.After a happy meal, the snow outside the window temporarily stopped, and the rooftops in the distance were all white.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Yu gave Li Dongdong 200 yuan of New Year's money. After the meal, the adults sat in the room chatting. When Mrs. Yu returned to the room, she took Jiang Yu away and stuffed 500 yuan into his pocket.

Xu Meiyin was going to the store in the afternoon, but Jiang Yu didn't let her see her off and got off the car halfway.There are many people on the street, almost all of them are out shopping with their families.There was a stall selling couplets on the side of the road. Jiang Yu walked all the way home on the thin snow under his feet. It was already an hour later when he arrived home.

He stopped at the door and didn't go in. Seeing that the door of Zi's house was locked, he took out his mobile phone to send a message to Zi Luo.

Yu: Where did you go?

Drop off: Auntie's house

Jiang Yu stared at the phone and hadn't returned it when Zi Luo sent him a photo. He squinted his eyes and looked at it. In the photo was a goose. One hand was holding its neck so it couldn't move.

Luo: This goose bit people and chased me all the way

Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing out loud. Seeing Zi Luo's white hands holding the goose's neck, he could almost imagine Zi Luo being chased by the goose.

Encounter: kill and eat

Luo: It can live another day

Yu: When will you come back?

Luo: When I went out, I found that your house was empty. You have gone back now?

Yu: Well, I’m the only one at home

Luo: I guess it will take a while

Yu: It’s okay, I’m always at home anyway

Jiang Dezhi didn't know where he went, Jiang Yu put down his phone and changed his clothes, went to Jiang Lai's room for a while, and then returned to the room to take out the test paper to do the questions.

There were so many test papers, Jiang Yu planned to take a break after completing two test papers, when the sound of children playing outside sounded, and along with the sound of cannons, a sound came to Jiang Yu's ears, which sounded very familiar to him.

And the voice sounded again, and Jiang Yu heard the man say, "Give me some for fun, don't you? That one is fine too, why are you so picky, brother, I'll buy you a big box later."

"..."

The little chubby boy raised his head and looked at the two handsome guys in front of him, thinking to himself that someone asked him just yesterday that he wanted to play with cannonballs, why is he doing it again today? Are the adults so poor?

The person in front of him who asked him for a cannon looked very difficult to provoke. Although the big brother next to him was smiling, he always felt that there was a knife in his smile.The little fat boy was frightened, so he quickly ran away after stuffing a few.

Shu Ci held a few guns and said, "I look so scary."

"You'd better buy a big box and return it before he complains to his parents." You Yezhi said beside him.

"Brother Ci?" Jiang Yu poked his head out at this moment, "Ah, Brother You."

Shu Ci lit the cannon with a lighter and threw it away, then stepped into his house: "Come to play with you, Zi Luo hasn't come back yet?"

Jiang Yu closed the door: "No, I said I'll wait a while."

"Is there no one at home?"

"I'm the only one. I heard the familiar voice and went out to have a look. Sure enough, you are threatening the child."

"How can it be called a threat?" Shuci entered his room, "Should I stop talking and buy him a big box later?"

You Yezhi put on a black coat, he looked thin and handsome, and he didn't speak much when he entered the room.Shuci sat at Jiang Yu's desk for a while, and saw the Nendoroid on the table with his sharp eyes.

He stretched out his hand and touched it twice: "It kinda looks like you, did you give the other one to Zi Luo?"

Jiang Yu said, "Yes."

Shuci looked back at him, and said with a smile: "You are quite attentive, and you are more attentive every year."

"..."

Jiang Yu felt guilty and didn't follow up on this topic, and chattered for a while.When Zi Luo came back, he sent Jiang Yu a message, and Jiang Yu asked him to come over directly.

In the evening, Jiang Dezhi hadn't come home yet, Shuci glanced at the time and said to the two of them, "Go out for dinner tonight?"

Jiang Yu remembered Jiang Dezhi's words last night, and paused: "I'm not going out."

"Ok?"

"My dad won't let me go out recently."

Shuci said "oh" without asking any further questions, and left with You Yezhi.

Zi Luo's eyes fell on the Nendoroid not far away, and he asked without looking away, "Will Uncle Jiang come back at night?"

"I don't know." Jiang Yu said lying on the bed, "I probably won't come back."

"Would you like to come to my house for dinner tonight?"

"Ah," Jiang Yu hesitated a little, thought for a while and then said, "I won't go, I'd better be honest in the special period recently."

Zi Luo knew the reason and didn't say much. When he was about to leave, Jiang's house entered again. Jiang Yu thought it was Xu Meiyin who came back and didn't move. There were footsteps in the living room, followed by a strange female voice: "No Is it human? Meiyin?"

Zi Luo patted his leg: "It seems that someone has come to your house."

"Ah, I'll go and have a look." Jiang Yu got up from the bed and was dumbfounded when he opened the door, "... Aunt Meng."

There was a gift at Meng Lu's feet, and there was naturally Meng Chunxin standing beside her.

"Is Xiaoyu at home? Your mother hasn't come back yet?"

Jiang Yu glanced at his watch: "Not yet, probably soon."

Meng Lu said: "Your mother told me I was going home. Why is this person not as fast as me?"

Zi Luo and Meng Chunxin looked at each other for a few seconds and moved away. Jiang Yu went to pour water for the two of them. When Zi Luo walked to the door, he stopped and looked into the living room. In case of mobile.

After Jiang Yu finished his work, he looked at him, and the moment his eyes met, he stood there in a daze, unable to say anything.

Jiang Yu watched Zi Luo walk out of the gate helplessly.

When Xu Meiyin came back, it was already half an hour later, and a few people went to Guqiao for a meal, and the adults could always chat for a few hours after eating, Jiang Yu couldn't sit still: "Mom, I'll go home first gone."

"Wait a minute, what's the rush." ​​Xu Meiyin held him back, "Jun Xin will come to our house to do homework with you in two days, and you can teach her if she can't."

Jiang Yu frowned and looked at her, only to find that Meng Lu was looking at him with a smile on his face before recovering, and said politely, "It's not so good, I still have to do my homework."

Xu Meiyin said: "Then it happens to be doing homework together."

Meng Lu said: "Xiao Yu's grades are really good. Jiu Xin always praises him to me. I heard that he is ranked in the top [-] in his grade. That's amazing."

"It's okay." Xu Meiyin smiled modestly, and it's not hard to hear a little pride in her words. She always likes others to praise Jiang Yu, "It's not enough, we have to go forward, the competition in the No. [-] Middle School is so fierce."

When Jiang Dezhi returned home, Xu Meiyin was in a good mood. Jiang Yu went back to his room and lay down on the bed for a while, looking at the time and thinking of the fireworks tonight, he agreed to watch them with Zi Luo.

But he was stunned by Zi Luo's stare just now, even though he didn't say anything, Jiang Yu could sense Zi Luo's psychological changes, not to say he was unhappy, but it was indeed different from before.

What's the difference?

why?

Jiang Yu stared at the chat record and sent an emoji, but Zi Luo didn't reply for a long time.He was anxious and sent several more messages. Jiang Yu's ears burned when he didn't get a response, and he sent a voice call directly.

Automatically hang up because no one answered.

"Fuck..." Jiang Yu buried her head in the pillow, thinking that Zi Luo must be upset after thinking about it.

No matter how unhappy you are, you can't ignore people, Jiang Yu started typing——

Why are you ignoring me? What do you mean?

Give you 1 minute to reply to my message

...I kicked people in the past

Luo Luo! ! !Zi Luo! ! !

...I was wrong, although I don't know where I was wrong

……

After Zi Luo dried her hair, she just entered the living room when she heard her phone beeping wildly. After she clicked on it, she found that Jiang Yu had sent dozens of messages in succession.Zi Luo slid his finger up and found that there was a voice that was not connected.

He pressed the call back, and Jiang Yu, who was ashamed, regained his spirits instantly while holding the phone.

"Hey?"

"I was taking a shower just now." Zi Luo said, "What did you do to admit your mistake to me?"

Good guy, something happened.Jiang Yu covered his face in embarrassment, and said, "It's nothing, don't forget to watch the fireworks later."

"I didn't forget."

silence.

In the past, when the two of them chatted by voice, they would talk and stop for a while, and they would not feel awkward during the pause, but now the silence is full of discomfort, as if they have questions to ask, but they don't say anything to each other, they are waiting for each other Speak first.

Jiang Yuxian couldn't help but said, "Come and find me, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out."

"Okay, I'll change clothes."

Snow began to fall in the sky again, and many adults and children around me probably all went to watch the fireworks in the same direction.Jiang Yu stuffed his hands into his pockets and stared at the road under his feet, while Zi Luo stayed by his side.

He wanted to find a topic but didn't know how to speak, and Zi Luo didn't say anything, so he reached the ancient bridge in a strange silence all the way.

Before the fireworks started, a lot of people had already gathered around. Jiang Yu stood under the tree, looked at the sky and sighed.

"Is it cold?" Zi Luo asked.

Jiang Yu glanced at him: "It's not cold, I'm wearing long johns."

Zi Luo laughed, turned her head and looked at him for a while.

There were more and more people around, and the fireworks were placed in a row in the distance. Jiang Yu saw a few people going to light them and then ran away. Then the dark night sky was lit up by fireworks of various colors, some patterns resembled mushrooms and Waterfalls and even patterns of parachutes bloom in the air.

The fireworks soared into the sky, blooming brilliantly non-stop, Jiang Yu's eyes shone with light, and he slowly turned his head to look at Zi Luo.

"Fall down."

The surrounding sounds were all covered by the sound of "bang bang" fireworks. He shouted so softly that he couldn't hear it clearly. Unexpectedly, Zi Luo heard it anyway, and stopped looking at the fireworks and looked towards him.

Zi Luo said: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Yu paused for a while: "I don't want to hide, I want to confess to you."

"Ah."

"I don't have any interest in Meng Chunxin."

"I know."

"But my mother asked her to come to my house to do her homework in a few days, and asked me to tutor her."

Zi Luo didn't speak.

"I can't refuse, but I promise you that I absolutely don't like her, the person I like is not her."

Before the fireworks stopped, Zi Luo looked up at him.

Jiang Yu's eyes were so sincere that he almost raised his fingers to swear. He stood next to Zi Luo and put his shoulder next to him: "I'm serious."

"Okay." Zi Luo lowered his head and smiled, "Then I can rest assured."

Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed along with him: "Luoluo, in fact, I—"

The fireworks stopped.

The surroundings fell silent for an instant, and after a while, the voices of people nearby were heard.

Jiang Yu was pulled back to his senses and shut his mouth in time, the sky returned to heavy darkness, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke after the fireworks were lit, which smelled a little pungent.

They didn't leave, and the second round of fireworks began.

It didn't stop until twelve o'clock, and the sound of crackling firecrackers sounded all around. Jiang Yu approached Zi Luo and shouted to him: "Happy New Year!"

I like you, happy new year.

"Happy New Year." Zi Luo finished speaking with a smile, and suddenly reached out and hugged him.

Jiang Yu stopped breathing for a moment, and felt that Zi Luo's hand slowly went up from his waist, and finally patted him on the back, saying: "I really hope you are happy, every year from now on. "

"...Of course." Jiang Yu tilted his head and deliberately breathed into his ear, "Because you are here."

Zi Luo grabbed his waist: "Don't tease me."

Jiang Yu grabbed the hem of his clothes and began to play dumb: "What are you talking about! You suddenly hugged me, whoever is teasing who!"

"So what?" There were too many acquaintances around, Zi Luo let go of him and faced him, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Don't you like it?"

Jiang Yu gasped, staring at Zi Luo's eyes, he had the illusion that Zi Luo had seen through him.

"Happy New Year!" He yelled to hide his guilty conscience, "I have to record the dolls when I go back, every holiday is a must."

Zi Luo said, "Okay."

The second round of fireworks was still going off, and the people around dispersed a little. The children held snowballs in their hands and watched the fireworks excitedly.Jiang Yu turned around and walked back, saying, "It's New Year's Eve, can we exchange a secret?"

"You speak first."

"No, you go first."

Jiang Yu thought that Zi Luo would have to wait for a while or just keep silent, but when Zi Luo didn't expect Zi Luo to speak directly, what he said was that he couldn't recover for a long time——

"The person I like is a boy."

Zi Luo turned to look at his blank expression, and smiled: "What about you?"

I!Hold!

Jiang Yu touched his frantically jumping chest: "...Me too."
