At the same time, Zhou Sui is also celebrating the New Year.

Ms. Ye Shuya called early in the morning and said that she would take her aunt, plus Ye Chen, and the five of them would celebrate the New Year together.Zhou Sui also thought it was very convenient, but once he and Ye Chen left, Su Zhuoyu was the only one left at home.

He subtly felt that this was not good, but it wouldn't make Su Zhuoyu go to his house for the New Year, there was always a sense of distance between adults.But Ye Chen was much more honest. When he left, he grabbed the door frame and said, "Brother Su, we'll be back tomorrow morning!"

"Hurry up, there will be a traffic jam later, I am at home watching Daqin doing well." Su Zhuoyu hugged Daqin and waved to them: "Be careful on the road."

Zhou Sui and Ye Chen brought big and small bags of New Year's goods. Ye Chen didn't understand, and said: "My aunts must have bought these things, even if they didn't buy them in the supermarket, why did they buy them specially?"

Zhou Sui: "It's just a wish, I can't come to the door empty-handed."

Ye Chen scratched his head: "I feel like it's a trap of the merchants, who advertise that relatives must give gifts when visiting during the Chinese New Year, so even if you don't need it, you have to buy those goods that have been hoarded for a year and can't be sold..."

"This is the sense of ritual." Zhou Sui said while driving: "Although it has no practical meaning, it has symbolic meaning. It doesn't matter if you do this kind of thing once in a while, as long as it's not too much."

"What's the point of the sense of ritual..." Ye Chen muttered.

Zhou Sui: "Life has no meaning, so certain rituals are needed to give meaning. Think about it, when you read a novel, it is full of logic and coherence from the beginning to the turning point to the ending. Xiao Zhang was born, and Xiao Zhang worked hard Learning, Xiao Zhang has someone he likes, Xiao Zhang is about to be promoted, Xiao Zhang died in a car accident-this is an absolute garbage story, but the reality is often like this. As you grow older, you will know There are too many things in this world that we cannot control, and the sense of loss of control makes people feel like a boat floating on the sea..."

"Brother, I didn't expect you to have such pessimistic thoughts." Ye Chen said.

"This has nothing to do with pessimism. The more outrageous things happen in the outside world, the more we can feel out of control." Zhou Sui thought, what could be more outrageous and absurd than time-traveling into a novel: "At this time, what else can make us feel out of control." People feel the meaning of life, so why not have a good time. It doesn’t matter if it’s the consumption trap of the merchants, and what can we contribute to the country, if we consume more, it can also stimulate economic growth...”

Ye Chen glanced back: "Brother, is this why you bought a carload of overweight New Year's goods? Do you know that some ingredients will expire, and are you going to put them in the refrigerator for a year?"

Zhou Sui whispered: "Aren't you growing your body, eat more..."

His phone vibrated suddenly, and Zhou Sui was driving, so he asked Ye Chen to take a look.

A message jumped out of the screen saver directly.

"Doctor Zhao." Ye Chen looked at a bunch of emoticons, and summed up the main idea: "He misses you—do you want me to help you?"

Zhou Sui paused slightly, coughed: "No need."

If there is nothing to do, you can come back later.

But it seems that Zhao Qingyang's hard work on the people around him has been very effective. It's fine for the group of nurses and colleagues to report the news all day long, and even Ye Chen's attitude has softened.

……

After arriving home, Ye Shuya had brought her aunt over. Auntie and Ye Shuya were putting on window grilles, and Father Zhou was writing couplets.

There were pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table. With a wave of the pen, Father Zhou rolled up his sleeves and said to Ye Chen, "Chenchen, come and make up a couplet on the spot. I wrote it and pasted it on the door."

Ye Chen suddenly revealed his mask of pain, and Zhou Sui sat on the sofa and laughed.

"Quickly think of one." Father Zhou urged.

Ye Chen immediately lowered his head and flipped through his phone, quickly searched for the Spring Festival couplets, and then recited them to Father Zhou with his head held high.

After writing the couplets, Ye Chen and Zhou Sui posted them on the door, with red blessing characters on them, and the house suddenly became brighter, creating a New Year's atmosphere.

Father Zhou and Ye Shuya went to the kitchen to cook, and the two of them had to answer the phone from time to time. Colleagues from the previous unit, patients or students, and some friends called in a rush.

So Zhou Sui, Ye Chen and Auntie went into the kitchen to continue working. Fortunately, they bought a lot of semi-finished products, and they could serve them on the table after messing with them.Zhou Sui was also quite busy, and after answering a few calls, Ye Chen kicked him out.

So only Auntie and Ye Chen were left in the kitchen.

Ye Chen concentrated on washing the bean sprouts. The aunt took a bottle of oyster sauce and couldn't unscrew it. When Ye Chen saw it, she took it and said, "Let me do it."

He held the body of the bottle in one hand, twisted the cap with the other, and opened it with a little force.

He handed the oyster sauce back, and when the aunt took it, she found that Ye Chen's hands had grown bigger than her own.

When did it happen?

When she thinks back now, what impresses her the most is the time she hit Ye Chen in the hospital, maybe at that time, Ye Chen was already stronger than her.

"How are you... how are you doing over there?"

The voice of this sentence is too low, if the kitchen is not very quiet, Ye Chen might not be able to hear it clearly.

"It's pretty good." Ye Chen said: "Brother Sui is very kind to me. I have improved in this exam. Oh, I have gained a few pounds recently. Can you tell?"

"That's good..." The aunt was silent, trying to say something, but couldn't.

"Do you want to use vinegar?" Ye Chen also opened the vinegar bottle that was not easy to open, and put it beside him.

The aunt murmured vaguely, then took out a dish and said, "This dish is ready, you can take it over."

"Okay." Ye Chen picked up the plate and walked to the dining room. The auntie looked at his back, tall and thin, as if he had grown up suddenly.

"I'm sorry..." she whispered.

Ye Chen stood at the door of the kitchen, his body froze suddenly.

He lowered his head, turned around and smiled: "It's okay, Mom...you worked hard too."

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the Spring Festival Gala began. A few people sat on the sofa and watched TV. Ye Chen played with his mobile phone, and the adults didn't bother to care about him at this time.Zhou Sui watched it for a while, laughed along with the cross talk on TV, and then took out his mobile phone to reply Zhao Qingyang.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he replied with an expression, Zhao Qingyang immediately called.

Zhou Sui: "..." He had no choice but to go to the balcony to answer the phone.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Qingyang asked.

"Watching TV with Chenchen, how about you?"

"I'm still in the car." Zhao Qingyang had just returned from the nursing home with his father at this time. He looked at the rows of red lanterns outside the window.Earlier, everyone was still enthusiastically buying new year’s goods, but tonight, there are no people on the street. Everyone is at home, having a reunion dinner, or watching TV together.

Zhou Sui knew about his family's situation, so he fell silent.

Zhao Qingyang cheered up quickly: "Is there any good program this year?"

Zhou Sui: "I didn't pay much attention, the song seems to be pretty good."

Zhao Qingyang smiled softly: "There are still three hours before the Chinese New Year. After three hours, someone will definitely call you to congratulate you on the New Year. When you are at twelve o'clock, don't answer other people's calls. Wait for my call, okay?"

Zhou Sui suddenly felt a little hot on his face, obviously Zhao Qingyang didn't say anything... He opened the window, the cold wind hit his face, and the temperature on his face also dropped.

"Okay." Zhou Sui said.

"Then, wait for my call." Zhao Qingyang didn't expect him to agree so quickly, he was stunned, and said in a low voice after a long while: "You should accompany uncle and aunt first, and say hello to them for me."

Zhou Sui hung up the phone, closed the window and went back to the living room, all eyes turned from him to the TV as if nothing had happened.

Zhou Sui smiled, came back and sat down on the sofa.

Ye Shuya leaned over and asked, "Whose phone is it?"

Zhou Sui: "A friend's."

Ye Shuya gave a meaningful oh, and then asked, "Is that the friend named Zhao?"

Zhou Sui subconsciously looked at Ye Chen, Ye Chen shrugged, but he didn't say anything, and he didn't know how Ye Shuya guessed it.

Zhou Sui: "It's him."

Ye Shuya asked in a low voice, "Didn't you break up?"

Zhou Sui suddenly remembered that he and Zhao Qingyang had acted for a while, and it was mainly to reject the blind date that Ye Shuya recommended to him.

"Hmm..." Zhou Sui rubbed his forehead, how could he be round.

"It's okay, I'll just ask casually." Ye Shuya showed a smile of "I know but I won't tell" on her face: "You can do whatever you like."

Zhou Sui smiled: "Actually, it's nothing, just try again, just in case."

In case Dr. Zhao is just right.

Zhao Qingyang said he would call him at 50:[-], but he actually called him at around [-]:[-], and the program on TV was coming to an end.Zhou Sui walked to the balcony and chatted with him casually.

The sound of firecrackers came from Zhao Qingyang's side, and Zhou Sui asked, "Is there someone setting off firecrackers on your side?"

"Well, there will be fireworks later." The villa area where he lives is far away from each other, so he won't disturb others.There are still many old people living here. The old people are nostalgic. They always feel that there should be fireworks and firecrackers to make it lively and prosperous.

Zhao Qingyang was also lying on the balcony at this time, looking up at the sky: "Doctor Zhou, look, the moon is so bright today."

Zhou Sui looked up.

A silly laugh came from Zhao Qingyang's side: "It's as bright as a big light bulb."

Zhou Suixiao: "Are you drunk?"

"No, I didn't drink any alcohol." Zhao Qingyang said with a smile on his lips, "I hope you will live a long time and enjoy the joys and joys of thousands of miles, as people in the past would say."

The countdown came from the TV.

"Ah, the time is almost up." Zhao Qingyang glanced at his watch, counting down in his heart, and said, "Doctor Zhou, Happy New Year!"

Zhou Sui: "Qingyang, Happy New Year."

For a moment, the fireworks exploded in the air, and I don’t know which one set them off, occupying a corner of the night sky. Under the bright moon, they bloomed with gorgeous and short-lived beauty, and then, the firecrackers crackled.
