【楼主：香尹——发帖时间：2016年2月8日上午00：00：00】凌晨1点左右，鞭炮声、爆竹声慢慢消失，长夜渐渐归于寂静。我妈、妹妹和小姨都去睡觉了，我仍然拿着电话举棋不定。

Xiao Lu had been watching TV on the sofa after taking a shower, and stood up at this time: "Still sleeping?"

I smiled and said, "I will keep vigil on New Year's Eve, so I won't sleep tonight."

"There is still a lot to do tomorrow, at least you should take a rest."

"...I'll go to sleep when I can't take it anymore."

He glanced at me, and finally stopped persuading him: "I'm going to sleep first."

I looked through the phone for a long time. Except for a landscape picture that Xiao Zhou reposted on Weibo yesterday, there was a location showing that he had returned to his hometown city, and there was nothing else.

There is no air-conditioning or heating in the living room, and it was so cold that I couldn’t stand it. At about 2 o’clock, I finally surrendered, turned off the TV, and went to Xiaolu’s sleeping room with the blanket on my body. Sleeping on half of the bed.

I really want to call Xiao Zhou and ask him what's going on and if he needs help, but I also know that it's a bit abrupt and inappropriate to be so late.Just as I was about to close my eyes and go to sleep, my phone suddenly vibrated.I took a closer look, and it turned out to be Xiao Zhou who sent a text message.

"Mr. Zhuang, are you asleep?"

I was so happy that my heart trembled, and I calmed down for a moment before replying: "Not yet."

He sent another text message: "Can I give you a call?"

I thought for a while before I said, "You can call again in 3 minutes."

I got out of bed with the thick quilt and blanket in my arms, walked out the door lightly, and curled up on the sofa in the living room to cover it up.

"Beep-beep-"

Sure enough, Xiao Zhou's phone call came.

I pressed the connect button, he hesitated for a while before speaking, his voice was hoarse, low and tired: "Mr. Zhuang, something happened to my family these two days..."

"What's the matter? Are you all right now?"

Xiao Zhou said softly: "The little things are all resolved, but the phone is broken...Mr. Zhuang, are you not angry with me?"

"...No, you're fine."

We were speechless for a while, and he said softly again: "Mr. Zhuang, you want to sleep with him... What does this mean?"

I was a little embarrassed and explained: "It's like this...he came to see the parents with my aunt. There are not enough beds at home, so my mother asked me to share a bed with him to sleep."

There was a long silence over there before asking: "Then you... have you slept with him?"

"not yet……"

"Do you have to sleep with him? Can you sleep in the living room?"

"It's a bit cold, no heating, no air conditioning."

He hesitated for a moment: "Then go to the room and sleep. If he dares to do anything to you, call me immediately."

I felt grateful for a while: "Okay..."

"Don't get too close to him, don't talk to him on the bed, don't watch him change clothes, let alone change clothes in front of him, in short, ignore him, just fall asleep on the bed - if he dares to touch you, you Beat him to death."

"……it is good."

"are you sleepy?"

"not yet."

While we were talking, my mother suddenly came into the living room in her pajamas, her hair disheveled and her eyes sleepy, and she asked, "Who are you calling? Are you up so late?"

"Uh...colleague."

"I have to get up early tomorrow morning, go to bed quickly. It's so cold here, do you want to catch a cold?"

I had to say, "Got it, Mom."

She dragged herself back to the room with sleepy steps.

Xiao Zhou said on the phone: "Did your aunt tell you to rest?"

"Um……"

He quickly said: "Then let's not talk, go to sleep quickly."

"Okay, you go to bed early, too."

So we finally hung up the phone, I thought about it, and fell asleep in the living room with the quilt in my arms.

Xiao Zhou sent a text message: "Mr. Zhuang, please bear with me for a day or two, I will find a way..."

I couldn't help feeling a little regretful, and comforted me: "Don't worry, nothing will happen. I'll sleep in the living room tonight."

"Really?"

"Ah."

"sleep earlier."

"Ah."

It was about 3 o'clock in the morning when I really fell asleep. After sleeping for more than an hour, I was woken up by my mother, so I got up and dressed in a sleepy state. In the dimness, the sound of crackling firecrackers outside the window slowly sounded, which made me wake up completely. .

The new year has finally begun.

This day is the same as in previous years, spent in New Year's greetings, giving lucky money, and stiff smiles.As expected, the number of people who asked me when I would get married increased by 23% compared to last year, and with my aunt's young and handsome fiancé as a comparison, I was naturally embarrassed again.The county where my grandparents live is relatively small, girls are married around 25 or [-], and boys who don’t have a date at [-] are considered late.For a man my age, children should be one or two years old.

My aunt is very high-spirited today, holding her fiancé's arm proudly, her chin is half higher than her nose, and she has severely slapped her relatives who have secretly said that she cannot marry in the past two years.

It's a pity that some people still like to make trouble.

There are too many relatives and it's hard to tell them apart, but getting together is to talk about children.A woman hugged her child and said to my aunt with a smile, "When will you get married? You are already 32."

My aunt smiled a little stiffly: "It's actually 31. We'll get married in April this year."

"You're 32 years old. Get married and have a baby."

"In another year or two, this kind of thing can't be forced."

"Still waiting? Did you know? Now 28 is considered an advanced maternal age. The older you are, the lower the quality of your child will be. They are prone to congenital problems. Don't wait any longer."

Several people discussed.

"Isn't it? Our neighbors are like this. The child born at 30 was born mentally handicapped. His eyes were like rice grains, and he moaned all day long. It's neither good to strangle it, nor to keep it."

"Yeah, we have one there too..."

My aunt's face was quite ugly, and she couldn't refute anything.I felt a little uncomfortable, so I hurriedly took her away.
