the years when i was in heaven

Mingli doesn't know if other northerners have this habit, anyway, their family has a dish that must be served on the table during the New Year and holidays-cooked food dipped in mashed garlic.

The steps are simple and the meal is served.

Five dishes and one soup are served together, two people eat two bites of garlic, and no one dislikes the other.

Today is actually an ordinary day, but their working hours are not fixed, and whether they can celebrate the New Year at home depends entirely on luck.Taking advantage of the fact that both of them are resting today, it can be regarded as passing the year ahead of schedule.

Qiu Hai took out a small, delicately packaged dark red box from the study.

Mingli was stunned, his excited heart, trembling hands, his eyes almost stared a hole in the box, "Don't be so sudden, I'm getting old, I can't bear it."

"Not suddenly, there is no sense of ceremony." Qiu Hai put the box in the middle, got up and said solemnly and affectionately: "Mingli."

Ming Li also stood up solemnly, rubbed his ring finger, and couldn't wait any longer.He doesn't ask how expensive it is, whether it is a big brand or not, and the niche also has a niche flavor.

As long as it is Qiu Hai, he is also willing to tie a dog's tail grass to him.

Qiu Hai slowly opened the box, and what came into view was an exquisite mousse cake, "Happy New Year!"

Mingli stared at the cake for three seconds, and forced the corners of his mouth to curl up, his voice sank, "New...Happy New Year."

"What's the matter? Don't you like it? I remember you like to eat this kind of cake that is not very sweet and soft." Qiu Hai leaned forward slightly, looked at him pretending to be playful, and then said pretending to be disappointed: "I made an appointment in advance It's been a long time since we made an appointment."

"I like... I like it."

I just thought it was that!

Seeing that the person in front of him was wronged but couldn't say anything, Qiu Hai finally couldn't help laughing, "I won't tease you anymore."

He took out a much smaller but particularly textured box from under the table, walked to Mingli, opened it slowly, and there were two men's rings quietly standing inside.

"When I was in college, I thought about today. It was a delusion. There is nothing more satisfying than a delusion coming true. It is a luxury."

Qiu Hai took Ming Li's sweaty hand, and carefully and gently put one of the rings on his ring finger.

The silver ring glowed bright white and delicate under the light.Ming Li quietly looked at his hand, and took Qiu Hai's hand with that hand.

Two slender white hands, two rings of the same style.

At this moment, all words are not enough to express, and they all seem pale and weak.

From now on, they live in public and disdain ambiguity and concealment.

"Make a New Year's resolution."

Qiu Hai lit a candle and turned off the lamp.

Ming Li sat at the table, crossed his fingers, closed his eyes, and the candlelight reflected his serious face.After a long time, he opened his eyes, "I promise."

Only when he opened his eyes did he realize that Qiu Hai had been staring at him.

Qiu Hai petted softly: "What wish did you make?"

"It doesn't work to say it."

"New Year's resolutions need to be said to be motivated to implement."

"My wish is..." Ming Li paused, "We can grow old together."

"It's not a wish, little fool, it's a fact." Qiu Hai rubbed Ming Li's hair, his eyes were full of emotion that was about to overflow.

"What's more, when we get old, we will go to Switzerland or Hokkaido to settle down. I have already thought about it. Children can't get used to it. We have to let them be independent. When the time comes, let's tutor them remotely and let them work hard on their own."

Ming Li talked about planning the future, while Qiu Haian listened quietly, as if this was their plan to be implemented tomorrow.

"There is more." Mingli sat upright, and said solemnly: "I hope that in the new year, I can fly every class safely, avoid arrogance and arrogance, and start a new life."

"..."

"And you." Ming Li said enthusiastically, "What wish did you make?"

"My wish is..." Qiu Hai also imitated him and paused, "I hope that in the new year, everything will be fine for you."

Mingli patted his thigh and laughed loudly, "Is there anything else?"

Qiu Hao smiled and shook his head, "Not anymore."

Mingli's smile froze.There are still many wishes he made that he didn't say, such as the health of his parents, and the smooth sailing of his relatives and friends.

It suddenly occurred to him that what Qiu Hai possessed was really too little, but he always endured it silently, fulfilling the obligations that he shouldn't worry about so much day after day and year after year.

Even liking someone...

Ming Li patted Qiu Hai's head a few times, and said in a coaxing tone, "Touch my Fat Hai, and there will be no delay throughout the year."

The New Year's visit to the orphanage was scheduled for a certain weekend before the year, and the crew car pulled a mighty carload of people.The first-line departments sent an average of three to five people from each department, and the flight department only sent Ming Li and Qiu Hai.

The orphanage is located in the outskirts, surrounded by economically disadvantaged towns and small hills.The dean had brought a group of teachers to stand at the door to greet him early on. When he saw the crew car coming from the mountain from afar, he quickly asked someone to hang up a banner.

When Mingli got out of the car, he saw eight people standing side by side, holding banners and baring their friendly big teeth.

The dean shook hands with Mingli and said a few words of courtesy, and led them into the park. He said between the lines that it was too difficult to find eight people holding banners. There were very few people in the town who were about the same height and could barely close their eyes. Handsome men like them The pretty girls are basically nowhere to be seen.

Mingli was a little flustered when he heard this, and thought for a while that the children should not regard him as a giant male god, and his own charm is also absolutely amazing, men, women and children can eat it all.

He thought of the word "Yanya", and couldn't help but look at Qiu Hai beside him provocatively.

Qiu Hai sent a question mark.

Halfway there, suddenly a teacher interrupted while apologizing, and leaned into the dean's ear and said a few words.The dean's face immediately changed, "I'm sorry, Captain Ming, something happened to a child, I have to go and see first."

"You go ahead, we are not in a hurry."

The dean arranged for the teacher to take the crew to rest first, and left in a hurry.

The resting place is a classroom with a small garden attached to the outside.Mingli wasn't tired at all, and the weather was fine today, so he stood in the garden to enjoy the scenery.Qiu Hai came over and handed him a lollipop, they prepared a lot for the children.

"I'm not a child." Mingli looked at the red package that smelled like lychee and strawberry, and took it rather helplessly, the ring on his ring finger gleaming.

They are not people who like to publicize their private affairs, and they can be tired of being crooked, but they must maintain a rational side in front of others.What Mingli can't stand the most are public places, such as couples kissing on the bus.

But this time, he blatantly peeled off the candy wrapper, stuffed the lollipop into his mouth, puffed out one cheek and said, "It tastes pretty good."

There are other crews in the room, and Mingli believes that they have all seen it.

Qiu Hai peeled off a piece of fruit candy and threw it into his mouth, put his hands in his pockets and looked at the big pine tree outside the yard with him.

The tall backs of the two people match inexplicably, making people feel that there is no sense of incompatibility. They are obviously two men, people in the room thought.

Suddenly, there was a sound from outside the small garden, and the dean brought two teachers past, their bodies covered in mud spots.One of the teachers held a little boy by the back collar, and the boy's four muddy paws flapped back and forth in the air.

"It's you every time, and it's you again this time, so don't let the teacher worry at all." The teacher complained: "Today there are guests, and it's just a matter of making trouble."

"Guest? Is someone going to be adopted again?" The boy's face was covered in mud, but he knew more than he knew. "Who is it? Xiaohong? Xiaohua? Xiaojia?"

"Anyway, it's not you, so you just stay in the house for a whole day, and you're not allowed to go anywhere." The teacher seemed to be used to it, and he lost his temper completely.

The boy's eyes dimmed for a moment, and he recovered quickly, struggling unconvinced, "Why can't it be me! I...I want to go to school! I'm going to college, just like the amazing people on TV!"

The teachers just laughed, no one took a child's ambitions seriously.

"You have to be well-behaved, obedient and sensible, so that someone will adopt you." The teacher said, "No one wants to take a little ancestor home."

This child was thrown at the gate of the orphanage by his parents when he was a few months old. He was quite rebellious at such a young age. Nine out of ten teachers were so angry that he couldn't speak. The only one who survived was the dean.

At the corner of the garden, the group met Ming Li and Qiu Hai who had heard the sound.

The boy immediately pretended to be pitiful and helpless when he saw outsiders. Ming Li glanced at him and said to the dean, "What's wrong with this boy."

The dean sighed, "Climb over the wall and run to the river to play with mud."

Mingli let out an "oh".

The teacher took the boy away, and Mingli was still looking in that direction. At this moment, the boy turned his head and made a grimace at Mingli.

"..."

Ming Li clenched his fist and let it go, forget it, why bother with a brat about your majestic skills.

The crew used the way of class to communicate with the children.

These children who lacked the care of their parents have no source of income and cannot go to school. They can only rely on a few teachers in the courtyard to teach them.But these teachers are more like life administrators, taking care of their diet and daily life, and can only teach some basic knowledge.

The children were generally timid, and looked at the well-dressed crew members on the stage with big ignorant eyes. It is estimated that in their hearts, it was really like seeing a star on TV.

Mingli had imagined a bunch of ways to show his charm before, but now he has no intention of implementing it.He moved a small bench and sat among the children, imparting some easy-to-understand aviation knowledge, telling them what he saw and heard during the flight from time to time, and encouraging them to speak boldly.

Soon Mingli became one with them.

Looking at the other side, Qiu Hai held up a small blackboard and listed each knowledge point in an orderly manner, forming a completed knowledge framework.The children sitting under the stage hugged their knees and stared at the blackboard in silence.

"According to wind dynamics, the tail plays a vital role in maintaining the stability of the aircraft. When the aircraft encounters airflow turbulence reaching plus or minus 3 to 3.8 points in the air, the tail will automatically adjust to a constant value. The constant value is controlled by the wind button difference The value is jointly determined by the driving speed of the prime mover, and it is not a specific value."

Qiu Hai drew a circle on a certain numerical value with a pen, looked towards the audience, "Do you understand?"

children:"……"

Qiu Hai: "..."

Is it hard to understand?

Ming Li looked at Qiu Hai, who was standing on the stage facing several pairs of sincere eyes, and looked at each other at a loss, and laughed stupidly.

During the break between classes, Mingli was dragged away by the headmaster to chat about family affairs.The dean said in words that he had a daughter who was of marriageable age, and made insinuations about personal problems.He knew it well, and revealed the ring on his ring finger through deliberate small movements.

The dean saw it and didn't say anything more.

On the way back to the classroom, he passed the small garden just now, and Mingli saw the captured "Mud Boy" sitting on the swing.The boy turned his back to him, his two calves clattered in frustration, and his little head was lowered.

No matter how naughty a child is, he is still a child after all, and he will be sad if he is told by the teacher.

Ming Li got closer and found the boy's shoulders were twitching.Maybe he had a lot of contact with the child today, and his fatherly kind heart flooded, and he patted the boy on the shoulder lightly, "Why are you here alone."

The boy did not speak and did not look back.

Mingli got closer again.

At this moment, the boy suddenly jumped off the swing and turned around with a look on his face that he was finally hooked.He held a water balloon in his arms, squeezed it hard, and the water balloon burst instantly, wet Mingli's body and head.

The boy smiled triumphantly, ran away in a hurry, and made a face at Mingli from afar.

"Stinky boy." Mingli endured for a long time, finally took off his coat, rolled up his shirt sleeves and walked towards him, "If I don't clean you up today, my surname will not be Ming!"
