The New Year is approaching, although Du Yunyan said it was nothing special, Gu Wenxi still felt that the atmosphere of the New Year here is much stronger than that of the city.

New couplets were placed in front of every household, and some even hung lanterns and Chinese knots; I heard that there were performances during the festival, and the villagers started rehearsing early, and they could always hear the din of gongs, cymbals and drums; The township is very popular.

Sheng Bo and Aunt Liu were taken to the city by their children to celebrate the New Year, and they stayed for a month by the way.Their son drove over, and Gu Wenxi met the man, a middle-aged man in his forties, with the same enthusiasm as Aunt Liu.During the exchange, Gu Wenxi learned that Du Yunyan learned from watching him change tires on cars.

The homestay is also preparing to post Spring Festival couplets. Du Yunyan found red paper and wrote on it.

In the afternoon, Gu Wenxi lay sleepily on the table on the first floor, watching him do this work.

"Have you ever learned calligraphy?"

"No, it's just for interest." Du Yunyan filled the brush with ink again and began to write a word.

"I studied for a year when I was a child, but I still can't write as well as you."

His hands didn't stop, and he looked directly at the pen: "Writing is not taught by others. Your own understanding and whether you can calm down are more important than external skills."

Gu Wenxi captured the essence of it: "So it's just because I'm not the material?"

"It doesn't matter if it's not this material," Du Yunyan laughed, "You can use other materials."

"But I feel like you can do everything."

"Thank you," he put down his pen, picked up the piece of red paper and looked at it, "It's just because you have been in contact with my life circle during this period, and what you see is naturally familiar to me. If you change If you become the environment you are good at, you will be the one who is at ease, not me."

Of course, Gu Wenxi understands this kind of truth, and he is confident enough to not envy others, but Du Yunyan said it, and there seems to be another meaning hidden in his words.

Implying that they are not people of one world?

When helping with work a few times, Gu Wenxi tried to understand Du Yunyan's heart, but finally found that there was no solution, and it was unnecessary.

Longing to be close to someone should have been a very simple thing.

"Okay," Du Yunyan waited for the ink to dry, and pushed a few pieces of paper in front of Gu Wenxi, "Please hang it up for me, please."

"why me?"

Du Yunyan's eyebrows were half-curved: "Who made Young Master Gu grow taller?"

Gu Wenxi was puzzled by the reason for the sour gas, was it only two or three centimeters away?Suddenly remembered that he was satirized a while ago that he was not as tall as himself.

To say that this person is broad-minded in some aspects, and really narrow-minded in some aspects.

Gu Wenxi was stepping on a ladder to post Spring Festival couplets, and the noise of children came from outside, making noise in her ears.

The day before New Year's Eve, Gu Wenxi followed Du Yunyan to the town to buy ingredients.Thirty is a Friday, although it is not Sunday, but Du Yunyan said that he can cook meat.

There were more people in the town. They not only went to the supermarket, but also went to the market. The street vendors and crowds blocked the road, and Gu Wenxi had to park the car far away.It is said that the market does not close until noon.

On the way back, they met Yanyan's mother, riding a motorcycle on the country road.

Du Yunyan lowered the passenger window: "Sister Chen, are you going to pick up Yanyan's father?" The two of them had heard from Yunyan that her father arrived home at 29.

"Yes." The woman lifted the helmet visor and said with a smile.

"Is Yan Yan overjoyed?"

"Isn't it?" She stepped on the pedal again, "I'm going first!"

"Ah."

They continued to drive to the hotel, and the western sky was covered with light-colored clouds, like a layer of delicate rouge.

In the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Du Yunyan set up the altar early, with several fruits and liqueurs on display, and three sticks of incense burning quietly, filled with smoke and had a pungent smell.

Du Yunyan put his palms together, stood in front, and bowed reverently.

Some places in the countryside have the habit of worshiping ancestors on New Year's Eve, but the only family member he can worship should be his mother.Gu Wenxi didn't say much, she stood beside her and bowed slightly.

The New Year's Eve dinner for the two was simple but not monotonous: rice cakes, beef, fried fish, eight-treasure rice, eggplant... Afterwards, each drank hot sweet wine.The fermented rice has no strength, and it is no different from ordinary drinks after heating, and it will not be intoxicating.Gu Wenxi, however, misses the chaos that was slightly drunk after drinking red bayberry wine, and is not as sober as she is now.

There is also a TV in the restaurant, which has hardly been turned on during this period of time, but tonight, Du Yunyan still pressed the switch.The host of the party wore festive clothes and made an opening speech with a vigorous voice.The festive atmosphere makes it easy for people to forget themselves and blend into the joy of the group.Gu Wenxi stared at the ever-changing images, and let his mind go lazily. He neither returned to the room nor proposed to change the channel.

Du Yunyan's attention didn't seem to be on the TV program, his eyes always looked out of the window, as if he wanted to find something in the vast night sky.

The closer to the zero point, the more mixed the sound of the cannons being fired outside, some are crackling in a series, and some are occasional low and muffled sounds.

They also bought firecrackers and fireworks in the town, and they bought them under Gu Wenxi's strong insistence.

At this time, Gu Wenxi naturally refused to miss it.He took Du Yunyan to the courtyard to set off cannons.On the night of New Year's Eve, there was no moon in sight, and a single lamp was left shining in front of the door.He first picked up the long red firecrackers like chili strings with a pole, and then lit them.

The ear-piercing cannon blasted instantly, dispelling the deserted atmosphere.Du Yunyan covered his ears slightly and stood some distance away.

During the whole process, Gu Wenxi was silent, just kept replacing the firecrackers with new ones, until all the firecrackers were exhausted, then lighted small fireworks and put them on the ground, golden sparks sprayed from the middle upwards and to both sides.Du Yunyan approached a little closer, staring at the burning golden flame together with him, as if watching a grand performance.

The sound of fireworks was not loud, but the sound of firecrackers from other people's houses was still heard, and it was noisy for a while.

When the surroundings gradually settled down, the fireworks continued to burn, shining brightly.

"Yun Yan," Gu Wenxi called out the names of the people around him, "I'm leaving next week."

"Ah."

"Will you miss me when I'm gone?"

His voice sounded lower than usual, Du Yunyan was quiet for a while, then answered irrelevantly and said: "Get along well with your family when you go back."

"Yun Yan, I think I should tell you that I—"

Before he finished speaking, Du Yunyan stretched out his right index finger between his lips, making a "shh" gesture.

"Wen Xi, between us, this is very good," Du Yunyan said, "Thank you for spending the New Year with me."

After saying this, he turned around with a smile, and the fireworks were almost burnt out.

"What if I come back again?" Gu Wenxi asked his back, "Can you let me finish what I said today?"

Du Yunyan didn't look back, and said firmly, "You won't come back. Don't do anything worthless."

He stepped into the restaurant again, and the country night was silent for more than a minute. Suddenly, it seemed that the time had been preset, and firecrackers were fired everywhere, and the noise continued.

The author says:

To put it bluntly, I haven't reached the long-distance relationship stage, because I haven't been together yet, and I haven't reached the later stage, but really... soon!
