after the reunion

There have been firecrackers outside the window since the morning, along with the children's laughter.Although their community is not rich, there are many children who live with their grandparents. Zhao Xi usually does not stay at home, and Zhao Dongdong also stays in the kindergarten during the day. The father and son hardly get along with the people around them.

Zhao Dongdong lay on the window and watched the children downstairs playing snowball fights. The children laughed and threw me and I gave you another blow. It was very joyful.

Zhao Xi was absent-mindedly cooking dumplings in the kitchen. The clock slowly moved, and it was getting dark.The noise of the children outside stopped, only the occasional sound of firecrackers in the distance, and the faint red lanterns hanging on the trees.

Zhao Xi brought the dumplings to the table. Zhao Dongdong jumped off the bench with a grunt, climbed onto the table, moved his nose, and said flatteringly, "It's delicious! Daddy is awesome!"

Smiling, he scratched the tip of the child's nose, and brought up the rest of the dishes. It was not much different from usual, only a large plate of dumplings in the middle showed a little difference today.

They seldom eat dumplings. When Zhao Xi was mixing the seasoning for the child, he almost poured half a bottle of vinegar into it. In the end, he took a bite and tasted it himself.

Zhao Dongdong was not dissatisfied at all, the little guy seemed to grow up overnight.He held the chopsticks neatly and tried to fork the slippery dumpling.

Zhao Xi looked amused, so he handed him the spoon anyway, and said tolerantly, "Oh, why are you in such a hurry to use this now, why should I go?"

Zhao Dongdong wrinkled his face, and finally took the spoon over, biting it all in with his mouth open to vent his anger.

Zhao Xi didn't have a big appetite, and the backstage preparations of the actors before the party were shown on the TV, and it didn't seem so inconsistent with the occasional crackling outside.

Zhao Dongdong also ate faster than usual, patting his stomach and yelling that he was full after three or two bites.

It was only now that Zhao Xi came back to his senses that his bowl had barely moved, and not even one-third of the dishes on the table were missing.

Zhao Dongdong winked innocently at him from the opposite side.

Zhao Xi laughed, sighed softly, packed the food on the table into the kitchen, and came out without washing it.

Then the father and son hugged each other and sat on the sofa waiting for the Spring Festival Gala to start.

Waiting and waiting made Zhao Xi feel a little confused. He has been getting more and more difficult to sleep in recent days, almost only falling asleep when the sky is about to dawn.

And Zhao Dongdong also lay on his chest, yawned a little and began to fight with his upper and lower eyelids.

Zhao Xi thought for a while whether he would sleep in the bedroom with his son in his arms, or would he stay here and listen to the noise on the TV to watch the new year?

In the end, the father and son wrapped themselves in a big blanket, nestled on the sofa and dozed off in a daze.

When it was almost twelve o'clock at night, there was a sudden explosion of firecrackers outside, one higher than the other, and the two of them were directly awakened from their sleep.

Zhao Dongdong rubbed his eyes dissatisfied, pouted, "Dad, it's so noisy..."

Zhao Xi was also confused, "Well, it will be fine in a while."

At zero o'clock in the new year, it is the busiest time outside, Zhao Dongdong doesn't understand these things.He still lay on Zhao Xi's chest, closed his eyes and fell asleep for a while, then clenched his fists, "Ahhhh! It's so noisy!"

Then the little guy jumped out of his arms, ran to the balcony, pushed the window open, and yelled outside, "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a sound! Ahh!"

There was a black BMW parked downstairs. There was a small light in the car, but it seemed to be startled by Zhao Dongdong's voice just now, and it suddenly went out.

Zhao Dongdong wanted to scream again, but suddenly swallowed, leaned his body out, let out a "huh" and became excited, "Ah! Uncle Qin!"

Zhao Xi was so shocked that he almost rolled off the sofa. Before he could get up, the little guy quickly opened the anti-theft door and rushed down.

Zhao Xi was so frightened that he almost stopped breathing, put on his slippers and hurriedly chased after him.

When I ran downstairs, I saw that there was indeed a car parked under a tree not far away, and fireworks and firecrackers were constantly set off a few streets away, but it seemed that they had suddenly become quiet here.

Zhao Dongdong was not below, Zhao Xi clutched his chest and walked slowly towards the car.He heard his son's cries of joy.

"Uncle Qin, are you here to celebrate Dongdong?" "Uncle Qin, did you bring any presents?" "Uncle Qin, I miss you so much..."

The snow in the sky has stopped.Qin Muyang squatted on the ground, looked at Zhao Dongdong at the same level, and patiently listened to his questioning.

Then he looked up and saw Zhao Xi, his eyes paused for a moment, and then quickly moved away.

Zhao Dongdong followed him to look, then jumped over and hugged Zhao Xi's thigh, shaking his head, not complacent, "Hmph! Dad, you said that Uncle Qin is not coming, isn't he coming? Uncle Qin won't lie to me! Dad is bad!"

Zhao Xi's expression was indifferent, and he didn't speak. He took off the sweater he was wearing and put it on the child. He walked a little closer and asked hesitantly, "...Is there something wrong?"

Qin Muyang was a little helpless, "It's nothing. I slipped here by accident."

Zhao Xi thought for a while, but didn't expose him.

Qin Muyang smiled bitterly, turned around and took out a big box from the car.Zhao Dongdong ran over in his father's sweater, poked his head, "Huh? What is it?"

Qin Muyang lifted the cover with a smile, revealing a neat row of fireworks sticks. He took out a lighter from his pocket, led the child to the open space in front, "Do you want to play, Dongdong?"

Zhao Dongdong's eyes were red with excitement, and he nodded desperately.

Zhao Xi stood behind, unable to see his facial expression clearly.

Qin Muyang took them out and laid them horizontally on the ground. He lit the front ones first, and the fireworks went up with a "whoosh".

Qin Muyang looked at the child, and finally walked up to Zhao Xi, "Let the child play for a while, go up and put on your coat."

Zhao Xi finally looked up at him, but he couldn't understand the message in his eyes.In the end, without saying anything, he turned and went upstairs.

Looking at his back, Qin Muyang felt inexplicably relieved.

Zhao Xi came down quickly and saw the two people not far away having fun, so he didn't bother him, and quietly leaned against the entrance of the corridor to watch.

Zhao Dongdong held a firework stick in his hand, and kept waving it back and forth, while Qin Muyang guarded nervously beside him, in case it accidentally burned.

Looking at such a picture, Zhao Xi's eyes suddenly turned red.Turning his back to them, facing the wall took several deep breaths before calming down.

"Father—!" Zhao Dongdong suddenly called out from a distance.

Zhao Xi quickly wiped his face, ran over, and forced a smile, "Well, what's the matter?"

Zhao Dongdong tilted his neck to look at him, touched his face with his small hand, and wiped it.

Zhao Xi froze, bending his body and not daring to move.

Zhao Dongdong held a soaring cannon in his hand, pursed his lips, and handed it to Zhao Xi.

Zhao Xi took it in a daze.The little guy stood on tiptoe and gave him a loud kiss on the face, and shouted loudly: "Dad, happy new year!"

Zhao Xi's eyes immediately became wet. He rubbed his nose, leaned down and kissed the child's face, and said softly, "You too. Baby, happy new year."

Zhao Dongdong grinned, and pointed at Qin Muyang, "Uncle Qin said it! We have to say this in the New Year, and if we say it, Dad will be happy all year long!"

Zhao Xi nodded, restraining the emotions in his heart, and asked with a smile, "Then, have you paid New Year's greetings to uncle?"

Zhao Dongdong pouted, "Of course, I gave him a kiss too!"

Zhao Xi couldn't help but laugh, not knowing what to say, when Qin Muyang next to him coughed dryly, embarrassment quickly flashed across his face.

Zhao Xi sighed, and gathered up the coat for the child, "Then you and Uncle Qin have fun, Dad is waiting for you inside, okay?"

Zhao Dongdong looked at the fireworks lined up on the ground, then at his father's pale face, finally nodded, and reluctantly said: "Then father must watch me, he can't leave."

Zhao Xi smiled and nodded his nose, "No way!"

Zhao Dongdong giggled, Zhao Xi didn't look at the man opposite, turned around and walked into the corridor.

Qin Muyang was a little dazed, Zhao Dongdong stretched out his hand to pull him, and jumped excitedly, "Uncle, shall we let go?"

Qin Muyang nodded, pulled the child away, and then lit up the rest.

Zhao Dongdong yelled "Oh", half of the sky was illuminated by the fire, exuding a warm sense of happiness.

Qin Muyang turned his head to look at the person in the corridor, and the other person was also looking up, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, his eyes were bright and clear, just like when they first met many years ago.

Qin Muyang suddenly felt that it was worth the effort to find an excuse to get out of the house.
