nothing special

On the first day of the new year, it was sunny.

The snow that had finally accumulated yesterday gradually melted, and two piles of visible snowmen stood at the gate of the community.

Ren Qinghong was woken up by the sound of firecrackers one after another, because he had a faint headache from sleeping late.

"Hey..." Ren Qinghong hid under the blanket and stretched, but he still didn't want to come out.

Turning on the phone, most of the messages contained New Year's greetings, and Ren Qinghong also chose to send them in groups like everyone else.

Suddenly remembering the mobile phone he gave to Lu Shan yesterday, Ren Qinghong stared blankly at the white ceiling in a daze, and only got up from the bed when he heard the noise outside.

Lu Shan was used to being busy in the past, and it was really uncomfortable to be free all of a sudden.

For Lu Shan, the Chinese New Year is the busiest and busiest season in the village, and there is really not much time to stay in bed like this until xx o'clock.

The children in the mountain village are looking forward to the New Year, because during the New Year, there will be good food and meat at home, and the chickens and ducks that are usually reluctant to kill are used to entertain guests during the New Year, and they can also eat a few mouthfuls.Unlike the children in the city who usually eat well and wear well, they just feel the lively atmosphere for the New Year, perhaps because they have a few more days off.

Lu Shan slept late but woke up very early, worried that Ren Qinghong was still resting and disturbing her, so Lu Shan turned on the light of the bedside table and sat on the bed to read.

It wasn't until her stomach made a slight protest that Lu Shan had no choice but to get up.

Sure enough, the door of Ren Qinghong's room was closed tightly.

After getting along with Ren Qinghong for a period of time, Lu Shan also knew some of Ren Qinghong's habits, as well as Ren Qinghong's favorite tastes.

From the refrigerator, I took out a bag of small steamed buns I bought at the supermarket earlier, and put a few into the pot to steam over the water.

During the few days of Chinese New Year, the breakfast shops were closed, so Ren Qinghong and Lu Shan went to the supermarket to buy small steamed buns and steamed buns for breakfast, as well as dumplings and glutinous rice balls.

Lu Shan cooked porridge again, Ren Qinghong prefers refreshing porridge to thick white porridge.

On the shelf in the kitchen was a glass bottle originally used to hold sweet sauce. Two days ago, Lu Shan specially pickled some radishes and put them in the bottle.

Ren Qinghong likes sweet and sour things, this coincides with Lu Shan.

Lu Shan picked up a small piece with clean chopsticks and tasted it. It tasted good, but the radish was not as good as the one grown at home, and it lacked a bit of flavor.

There were still a few sweet potatoes left in the refrigerator, and Ren Qinghong didn't like sweet potatoes, so Lu Shan could only take care of these sweet potatoes.

When Ren Qinghong woke up and came out of the room, he opened the door and smelled the milky smell of steamed buns.

"Gulu" was really hungry.

Ren Qinghong dragged his cotton slippers to the kitchen and saw Lu Shan lifting the lid of the pot by the stove and pressing the steamed buns in the pot with chopsticks.

This scene reminded Ren Qinghong of his mother, who used to prepare breakfast for himself and his father here early in the morning, and every good moment of the day began with the breakfast made by his mother.

However, the role of mother changed to Lu Shan, but she was still so warm, Ren Qinghong thought that it would be great if it could continue to be this beautiful.

"Good morning, happy new year." Ren Qinghong leaned against the kitchen door and looked at Lu Shan with a smile.

"Happy New Year!" Lu Shan didn't know when Ren Qinghong was standing behind her, and it happened that breakfast was ready.

"You can have breakfast after washing up." Lu Shan said with a smile.

Speaking of which, Lu Shan is much younger than Ren Qinghong, but in life, Lu Shan takes care of Ren Qinghong more. Perhaps this is because the children of the poor are already in charge of their families.

A few small steamed buns were placed on the plate, a stack of pickled radishes, and roasted bacon in sweet sauce, this kind of breakfast is what Ren Qinghong likes.

Ren Qinghong ate the pickled radish and gave Lu Shan a thumbs up, "It's delicious."

It's definitely not worse than the ones bought outside. I didn't expect Lu Shan to know so many things.

"Eat more if it tastes good, and I'll make it for you later." These are trivial things to Lu Shan, her mother taught her a lot when she was at home, and she can make them for Ren Qinghong whenever she has the chance.

"Okay." Ren Qinghong smiled.

Seeing that Lu Shan was only eating porridge and sweet potatoes, "This steamed bun is also good." Ren Qinghong put a small steamed bun into Lu Shan's bowl.

"No need, you can eat, I have enough sweet potatoes." Lu Shan said.

Ren Qinghong looked at the white sweet potato and frowned, "Give me a sweet potato too."

Lu Shan was taken aback, didn't Ren Qinghong say that he didn't like sweet potatoes, Lu Shan still handed them to Ren Qinghong.

Ren Qinghong smiled, "Let's eat together." He pushed the plate of steamed buns to Lu Shan's position, peeled the sweet potatoes and gnawed them, but he could accept it.

Although it was just a simple little action, it warmed Lu Shan's heart. She smiled sweetly and replied softly.

"Um"

On the first day of the new year, the two had a happy breakfast in this way.

Ren Qinghong didn't have the habit of visiting relatives and friends. Ever since his parents passed away, Ren Qinghong's only relatives were his aunt's family, and the rest had long been alienated.

So the period of Chinese New Year is free for Ren Qinghong, and of course the same is true for Lu Shan whose hometown is in Province G.

Helped Lu Shan clean up the dishes and clean the dishes.

Lu Shan also bought a mobile phone before, but it was an old Nokia mobile phone. Not long after buying it, it was stolen by thieves. For this reason, Lu Shan felt distressed for a long time.

Later, Lu Shan never bought a mobile phone. There are fixed telephones in the barber shop, and there are very few people that Lu Shan can contact.

The two of them have nothing to do, so why not go to the business hall to get a phone card for Lu Shan.

Although today is the first day of junior high school, the large business halls in the urban area are still open as usual. Ren Qinghong and Lu Shan set off after changing their clothes.

Lu Shan was wearing a light blue padded coat and a light gray scarf. The lady boss taught her to knit this scarf. The lady knit sweaters for her son. It doesn't look good but it's warm.

The two walked side by side, Ren Qinghong didn't wear much clothes when he went out today, the sun was quite bright, but it was colder than usual when the snow melted.

"Are you cold?" When a gust of wind blew by, Ren Qinghong shivered, it was quite cold.

"It's okay." Ren Qinghong straightened his body.

Lu Shan took off her scarf and wrapped it around Ren Qinghong's neck.

"No, I have a scarf."

Ren Qinghong's scarf is just for looking but not for use, a small one is not as warm as Lu Shan's.

"Will it be better this way?"

Indeed, there is no air leakage here on the neck.

"Then aren't you cold?" She gave me the scarf, so what should she do.

Lu Shan pulled up the zipper of her clothes, "That's all right, let's go."

Ren Qinghong smiled faintly, and followed Lu Shan's pace, as if his whole body was refreshed, all of which came from the magic power of that scarf.

"Have you always worked in the barber shop?" The two walked on the road, and there were fewer people and cars on the street during the Chinese New Year.

Lu Shan shook her head, "I used to work as a small worker in a factory, and later I met the proprietress for some reason, and the proprietress took me in as an apprentice in the barber shop."

Because the family is poor and has many children, Lu Shan, the eldest daughter, has to bear a lot of pressure and responsibilities. In addition to taking care of her younger siblings, she also helps her parents with farm work.

But even so, Lu Shan still cherishes the time of studying, she is eager to learn.

However, the money her parents earned from growing vegetables and raising pigs could not support the expenses of so many children in the family. In the end, the parents discussed and decided not to continue studying.

So Lu Shan, who was only a sophomore in high school, dropped out of school because of this.

In fact, Lu Shan never complained about her parents' decision, and was willing to make sacrifices for the family until that happened.

Lu Shan ran away from the mountain village where she had been raised for 18 years and came to an almost unfamiliar city. In the city, she met all kinds of people, good and bad, and resisted all kinds of temptations in the city to choose. Still the same self.

It was only after she came to J City and met the proprietress that her wandering life found a foothold.

Although the salary is not high and the environment is not very good, Lu Shan is very satisfied and grateful for life. The only regret is that she left her parents without saying goodbye.

Ren Qinghong just listened quietly and didn't speak. Compared with Lu Shan, he was much happier, but even so, Lu Shan was still full of enthusiasm for life, which Ren Qinghong felt inferior to himself.

The two walked and chatted and came to the business hall. There were very few people. They chose a number and quickly applied for a phone card.

Lu Shan chose the package with the lowest price, and the ring tones were of no real use, and the monthly rent of 30 to [-] yuan was too expensive for Lu Shan.

I sent a sum of money home a few years ago, and now I have very little money on me, so I still need to save money.

The first number stored in the new mobile phone card belonged to Ren Qinghong, which made Ren Qinghong a little excited for no reason.

Somehow, I sent a message to that number.

Lu Shan was looking at a list that the salesman gave her just now, and the phone "ticked" and flashed.

Lu Shan, who is still not used to the full touch screen smartphone, managed to light up the screen.

Surprised, he raised his head and met Ren Qinghong's eyes full of smiles looking at her.

"I'll install a few apps for you when I get home later." Ren Qinghong said with a smile.

"Okay." Lu Shan also smiled.

It was still early to go back, Ren Qinghong felt that the two of them were just going home to pass the time and Lu Shan read a book to pass the time, so he and Lu Shan decided to take a stroll in the city center.

On weekdays, Lu Shan stays in a small barbershop, at most she only goes to nearby supermarkets and small shops, and really doesn't have time to go shopping.

The same is true for Ren Qinghong, with his slightly lonely personality, he has very few friends around him, even his colleagues, so he seldom goes shopping.

Today they finally had a companion for each other, and the two walked towards the mall.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the new film was released, and large posters were posted in conspicuous places in the mall.

The female star starring is Ren Qinghong's former idol. Ren Qinghong also saw the promotion of the movie on the Internet and thought it was not bad.

"Lu Shan, let's watch a movie."

"what?"

"I invite you to watch a movie." Ren Qinghong pointed to the large poster.

"No, no, go and see, I'll wait for you outside." Lu Shan declined.

"It takes two hours for a movie, so you should just accompany me." Then she took Lu Shan's hand and took the elevator to the cinema on the highest floor.

Seeing that Lu Shan compromised with Ren Qinghong, she couldn't help but feel excited, and it happened that there was still half an hour before the opening of the next game.

Ren Qinghong bought a ticket and sat on a chair outside with Lu Shan and waited.

Most of the people who watch the movie are couples and friends.

Ten minutes before the opening, Ren Qinghong bought two cups of milk tea and a box of popcorn in the theater's small supermarket.

"A must-have snack for watching movies." Ren Qinghong said with a smile, and handed a cup of milk tea to Lu Shan.

"Thank you." He took the milk tea cup from Ren Qinghong's hand and held it warmly in his palm.
