caught off guard love

With the big festival approaching, all the bustling things in this city have receded.When the lights are on, in stark contrast to the prosperity of the market, the windows of the tall buildings are mostly dark square holes.

Deep and secretive.

Ye Keke stared at the high-rise buildings speeding past outside the car window, and she suddenly thought that there might be a lonely black cat living in it, blending into the night.

She stared at the tall building, and it stared at them from the tall building.

The taxi driver drove the car very fast, and he said, "You are also eager to return, right? I understand."

As if he is a bosom brother.That's right, taxi drivers are the busiest but also the loneliest.They seem to welcome countless guests, but the shelf life of each car is only a few 10 minutes.

You sigh at the other party, but the other party is sighing at you.

The taxi driver said: Those who fly home on New Year's Eve are either lonely travelers or late returnees.

Ye Keke thought: But compared with people who are still struggling to make ends meet at the age of [-], which one is more emotional?

Ye Keke didn't have an answer.She fell into a loss.

Worse than having nothing is having the best and losing it again.

The prosperity of this city is at its thinnest at this moment.

The car speeds through the empty streets, as if entering and leaving no one's land.

The people who created the human world are neither humans nor ghosts, but ordinary people walking between buildings in alleys.Some people come and some go, alternately back and forth, without interruption.Ordinary people make up this prosperous world of three thousand people.

Most of them, like migratory birds, like insects seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, have been busy in this strange city for a whole year in order to make a living, decorating and constructing the city for a whole year; reason.

Save food and frugality for a whole year, and pay a high price for a ticket for a tiring journey. Even if you have no clothes, you have to return home.

Go back and decorate the hometown that has been lonely for a long time.

People are the best decorations.

So Benshi, who always wears light makeup and heavy makeup, became lonely.

The bright, all-night brightly lit Chinese lanterns could not cover up her loneliness.

The excitement is theirs, she is lonelier than fireworks.

Ye Keke's hand shrank in the cold wind.

Jiang Mingwu stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and her palm was very warm, pulling her tightly, not allowing any dodge or retreat.

When the taxi drove to the door, the driver thoughtfully delivered the suitcase to the two of them, and the payment receipt broadcast came from the mobile phone.The taxi driver exclaimed: "It's too much, your red envelopes are really too much."

Jiang Mingwu waved his hand: "Call work and go home early, and you're still running on the road at thirty?" She held Ye Keke's hand tightly, stopped paying attention to other things, and dragged Ye Keke into the gate.

During the Chinese New Year, the Jiang family was the most prosperous, but the manpower was the thinnest.

The old lady has been paying attention all her life, especially when it comes to the atmosphere of the festival. Only during the New Year, she let all the workers and servants rest early.Over time, the juniors also formed a habit.

It is customary to start from the middle of the twelfth lunar month. After the workers return to their hometowns one after another, the rest of the entire Jiang family are all their own people.So everything is done by myself, even changing sheets and bedding, sweeping and cooking have become the daily work of young ladies and gentlemen.

The last one to leave is the aunt who helps the cook, and she can leave after making preparations for the New Year’s Eve dinner.Qin Luofang smiled and handed over a red envelope, saying auspicious and festive words.

The aunt who helped the cook was a little worried: "Is it okay for young ladies and young masters?"

In the kitchen, Jiang Mingxi was fighting with the jellyfish head against the mobile app, in the yard Jiang Mingshen was pissed at a herring, and Jiang Gan, who had always been pampered by the Jiang family, was gesturing with a pair of new couplets.

Qin Luofang placed the carefully placed flowers in the middle of the round table, and took out some fresh cherries and distributed them to her aunt: "Hurry up, the family is waiting for you to go back and cook the New Year's Eve dinner, right?"

The emperor is not in a hurry to kill eunuchs.Auntie's worries didn't affect Qin Luofang at all, she was always there, as if she had the chance to win.

During the Chinese New Year, we pay attention to reunion. As long as everyone is present, what to eat, how to eat, whether it is delicious or not, is no longer important.

In the world, it is easiest to buy a basket for a pearl, to give up what you have to pay for the end, to inflate desires, and to compare with each other. This is the root of unhappiness.

Obviously, Qin Luofang was happy.

She even hummed a song: Twinkle twinkle twinkle, the sky is full of little stars...

No, her little stars have gone home one by one, and one, oh no, two, must be on the way.

Qin Luofang waited eagerly.

Ye Keke was dragged into a big house. It doesn't really matter if the house is big or not.A deity makes a mountain, not its altitude.

She saw Jiang Mingxi clean up the salt water from his hands with disgust, and looked at Jiang Mingwu with disgust: "Are you coming back for dinner? Miss?"

She seemed to have thought of some great joke, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Wait for the salmon!" Jiang Mingxi was overjoyed, like a tacit stalk, Ye Keke saw Jiang Mingwu's face briefly, hastily, and flashed by A smile appeared on the ground, and then quickly disappeared.

"You are the bear." Jiang Mingwu said.

Ye Keke realizes that this is a pragmatic presupposition that the sisters know well, and outsiders don't know it.Yes, she is just an outsider.

Those who are homeless during the Spring Festival are all outsiders.

Jiang Mingxi greeted Ye Keke, calling her "this beautiful sister" affectionately.

Hearing the other party speak, Ye Keke remembered that she had met Jiang Mingxi before, and she at that time was completely different from what she is today.

In the City of Indulgence, Jiang Mingxi once asked her jokingly, "How much is the top card?"

Oh, take a closer look, she looks quite similar to Jiang Mingwu.They are all cold and ruthless thin lips, and they are all charming red phoenix eyes.

It's so strange, now she can see through them at a glance, obviously they all smell the same, they are a real family, they taunt each other mercilessly, but they look at each other with tenderness in their eyes.

Ye Keke laughed at herself, why did she think that their confrontation was imminent?In fact, it's just people's leisure fun?

Jiang Mingxi looked at Ye Keke, and suddenly smiled, with the familiar joke on his face: "Hey, who is this? A guest?"

Guest...?The emphatic tone is different, and the semantics are completely different.It is really broad and profound Chinese.

Jiang Mingwu raised his eyebrows: "Is it itchy?"

Jiang Mingxi pursed his lips, greeted Ye Keke briefly, passed by but turned around, and said to Ye Keke, "Sister, be nicer to my sister. She is a paper tiger, ahh..."

"Xi Xi, go and set the plates." Jiang Mingshen walked in and ordered the younger sister.

Jiang's parents and children are orderly, which is the most fundamental rule.

Jiang Mingxi was interrupted, the boss was not happy: "Why doesn't mother have another brother?"

The Jiang family tradition is that the youngest child sets the plate.

Jiang Mingxi hated this job, so why did the brothers and sisters just take advantage of the time?Jiang Mingxi's mouth was raised high.

"I also thought, more children, more blessings, more good things." Jiang Gan put his hand on the young girl's mouth, "You can hang the oil bottle now." He said.

He stretched out his hand to Ye Keke again, and he respected Ye Keke: "Miss Ye, welcome."

Qin Luofang came gracefully: "In the new society, do you still want to use women as tools? You should hit [-] big boards." She said, laughed again, and invited Ye Keke to watch her flower arrangement, "Is it beautiful? I prepared it." All day, flowers are not as beautiful as you."

Qin Luofang's compliment made Ye Keke blush, and she shouted "Auntie" in restraint.

Hearing this title, Qin Luofang remained calm, and she gave Jiang Mingwu a meaningful look.

Jiang Mingwu re-introduced: "My mommy, you can call her Selina, she used to be a white-collar worker, not a housewife, she is very capable."

Qin Luofang brushed her hair: "All compliments that avoid beauty are all hypocrisy."

Ye Keke felt blessed in his heart: "Flowers are beautiful, but they pale in comparison to Selina."

Jiang Mingxi was about to vomit.

Jiang Mingwu smiled, and hugged his girlfriend in his arms: "You are such a clever little ghost."

Ye Keke said seriously: "What? It's not enough to tell the truth?"

Qin Luofang laughed loudly: "I just like a kid like you who speaks the truth."

Thousands of wears, no flattery.

"I never flatter anyone, I only tell the truth." Ye Keke was serious.

What if Elder Neng Bode smiled and said some polite words?Besides, Ye Keke didn't lie.Qin Luofang has the beauty of Qin Luofang, women are like wine, aged and mellow.

Qin Luofang was very happy, Jiang Mingshen nodded, and patted his sister's shoulder again: "The strategy is right, a good start is half the battle."

Jiang Mingwu raised his head: "When did I ever lose?"

"Oh? Who is that crying in the room?" Jiang Mingxi had already set the dinner plate, and she leaned over to reveal the fault without giving up.

Ye Keke was surprised.

Jiang Mingwu just shot Jiang Mingxi coldly with his eyes, Jiang Mingxi was riddled with wounds.

The meal was a pleasure to eat.

The old lady only ate the appetizer and was tired.She nodded to the guests and apologized: "When you are old, it seems that all your organs are against you. There is pain everywhere, and you are tired at any time. I want to sleep for a while. You young people, revel and have fun. Please don't worry about me."

Jiang Gan also smiled: "Yes, mother. In your eyes, your son will always be only ten years old?"

The old lady was serious: "Nonsense, could it be that these three grandsons and granddaughters popped out of rocks? You are 30 years old, I know, I'm counting the years."

Jiang Mingwu leaned into Ye Keke's ear and explained: "Grandma is getting old and has mild Alzheimer's disease."

He added: "Don't worry, grandma will come with you when you watch the new year."

This meal was unprecedentedly relaxing and enjoyable.

Ye Keke never thought that having a family banquet in such a living room could be so presumptuous.

Jiang Mingxi picked out a piece of fish and threw it on Jiang Mingshen's plate: "It's bitter! Look at how you killed the fish? It's not clean at all!"

Jiang Mingshen didn't even raise his head: "I haven't accused your jellyfish head of being as salty as bacon? You have the nerve to accuse me?"

Jiang Mingwu picked up a few prawns for Ye Keke: "Dip it in vinegar if it doesn't taste good."

Why didn't she do anything but pretend to be a good person?

Jiang Mingxi and Jiang Mingshen collectively started attacking her.

Qin Luofang glanced at a few people: "Don't talk about Sister Wu today." She said, showing a motherly smile, the new daughter-in-law came to the door for the first time, and she wanted to save enough face for her daughter.

Jiang Mingxi expressed dissatisfaction.

Qin Luofang glanced at her again: "I don't have any points?"

Well, several people finally quieted down, and harmony was restored at the dinner table.

"Family banquets are all made by the family members themselves. Participation is the most important thing, and the taste is second." Jiang Mingwu explained in Ye Keke's ear again.

"Heh, you can do it." Jiang Mingxi was quite unhappy, "You got cheap and acted like a good boy. I didn't say that you broke the rules and wanted to go out for the New Year——I really want to go to the subtropical zone, the winter in this city is too hard gone."

Obviously, what Jiang Mingxi is unhappy about is something else.

"It's your fault." Qin Luofang also fell down, "Everything can be broken, but the rules can't be broken."

Jiang Mingwu muttered in a low voice: "You still say it's not old feudalism?"

"What?" Qin Luofang didn't hear clearly.

"Yes, it's my fault." Jiang Mingwu received his father's wink and said obediently.

"Cocoa," they chatted after the meal, and hot tea was served on the table.Qin Luofang suddenly called Ye Keke by name, "Our sister Wu, although she looks pretty good—follow me, but her personality is average. How did you fall in love with her?"

Jiang Mingxi almost spit out a mouthful of water.

Ye Keke thought in his heart: It's finally here.

A few seconds of silence at the table.

Jiang Mingxi was very curious, what kind of answer would satisfy his mother?She suddenly had a thirst for knowledge.

Ye Keke pursed her lips, Jiang Mingwu's hand passed under the table and held her: "It's okay if you don't want to answer.

As for Ye Keke, she suddenly plucked up her courage, and she looked at Qin Luofang squarely: "Between the sky and her, I can only see her."

A line of lyrics is soul-stirring.

Suddenly, the table was silent.

Jiang Mingxi tilted his head and said in his heart: Oh, it's not bad.

Jiang Gan took the lead in applauding twice: "Yes! Just like your mother, I can only see her between heaven and earth."

Qin Luofang rolled her eyes: "Compared to the sky, I can only see her! You are really, alas, you can't do it like a cat or a tiger, I am really, alas..."

Qin Luofang turned on the mode of complaining, complaining about her husband's confusion.

It's a complaint, but it's not a show of affection.

It was almost midnight, and the old lady who had slept was fully dressed.The bright red Chinese-style gold-edged jacket sits in the center of the living room and accepts the kowtows of the juniors.

It starts with Jiang Gan and ends with Jiang Mingxi.

When a junior kowtows, the old lady will give out a red envelope, and at the end, there is one left in her hand.

Jiang Mingwu pulled Ye Keke and knelt down: "Grandma is as blessed as the East China Sea, and Shoubi Nanshan." He said simple auspicious words.

The old lady put the last red envelope into Ye Keke's hand: "Good boy," she said.

Then the clock struck midnight and the fireworks exploded overhead. The old lady said she was tired again and went back to her room.

Qin Luofang yawned and said, "Girls should not stay up late, but you young people, it's okay to have a carnival."

Apparently the "girl" was referring to herself.

The people who had gathered together just now disappeared after a while.

The noisy air suddenly calmed down, only Ye Keke looked at the big thick red envelope in his hand, still feeling unreal.

She looked up at the sky, and the fireworks in the sky were blooming, as gorgeous as day.

Who said fireworks are the loneliest?

Fireworks are lively and noisy, and they are the most secular festive and auspicious.
