Years are warm

There is a saying that there must be a demon when something goes wrong. Xie Zhiyao would not believe that there is no secret in it, but she can't ask her grandfather and father directly, so she can only wait until she is alone in the kitchen with her mother.

The sound of falling cannons can already be heard outside, which is a rare taste of the year in big cities in recent years.

Xia Lan cleaned the countertop and ordered, "Yaoyao, put the dumplings in the refrigerator, we'll cook them when we come back tonight."

"Okay." Xie Zhiyao answered with his head down, put the wrapped dumplings on the plate, and asked casually, "By the way, mom... what's in the innermost room? It's been so long Didn't come back, did you clean it?"

Xia Lan's movements suddenly stopped.

"...You went in?" There was obvious tension in her voice.

Xie Zhiyao turned his back to her and pursed his lower lip, pretending to be casual: "No, isn't it locked? I'm just a little curious. When I was young, I asked you, but you didn't say anything."

"...Nothing." Xia Lan sighed, shaking off the drops of water on her hand, "It's all about the previous generation, you children don't need to know, it's quite embarrassing."

"Yaoyao, it's fine if you ask your mother, don't ask your father and grandpa, especially grandpa, he is not in good health, don't make trouble because of this again."

Xie Zhiyao responded, pretended to smile and said obediently: "I know, I'm not young anymore, just ask casually."

Xia Lan didn't have much doubts, she took off her apron and brought the dishes on the table, "I knew you were good, let's go, dinner is ready."

Still so secretive, asking them couldn't find anything at all.Xie Zhiyao sighed in his heart and washed his hands, thinking about countermeasures.People from the previous generation... She roughly estimated the time based on the style of the photo. If the person in the photo is still there, it should be about the same age as her father.If it must be counted, the most likely person is actually my aunt.But she had never heard of such an elder from her family.

Are you upset?She dried her hands and walked out of the kitchen, feeling a little panicked for no reason.But if it's a relative, no matter how bad it is... As for wiping out the existence of the other party?

She couldn't figure it out, but she didn't dare to show it at the dinner table, for fear of being spotted by the old man, she could only pretend to smile.

There is a habit of keeping the year old here in my hometown, and even outside is noisy with people.A few days ago, there was a notice saying that there would be fireworks and sky lanterns in Seaside Park at zero o'clock. Anyway, I was just sitting and watching the show at home. The family watched the time and simply drove to Seaside Park.

The wind by the sea is very cool, but fortunately there is no sleet weather like the weather forecast.

Crowds come and go, all waiting for the countdown to arrive.

The old man's body is no longer what it used to be, and he has to sit down and rest for a while after walking two steps.Accompanied by Xie Yuanhong and Xia Lan, they waved their hands to signal Xie Zhiyao to go to his own.

The old man talks about rules in everything he does. At this time, the whole family is neat and tidy, which is also the so-called rules.Xie Zhiyao didn't dare to go too far, so he walked around after walking around.

But before she came to her, the phone in her pocket rang.

Xie Zhiyao looked down and hesitated.

"Xiao An's phone?" Xie Yuanhong glanced at her and smiled knowingly, "Go to the side to answer it. It's Chinese New Year, remember to say hello to everyone."

Xie Zhiyao bent his eyes and said in a low voice, "Then...have I passed?"

"Go."

Seeing the person walking away, the old man suddenly said, "Yuanhong, pay attention."

Xia Lan froze for a moment, subconsciously frowned and said, "Dad..."

"Dad, it's such a coincidence. The two children had a good time. It's just a phone call to pay New Year's greetings." Xie Yuanhong gave his wife a look to signal her not to say more. He helped the old man to the side, shook his head and said, "Then I have seen the child before, Yaoyao is also a good child, I have been watching it for so many years, so don't think too much about it. And today is thirty, so I won't talk about it."

The old man turned his head to look at the back of his granddaughter, lowered his head and did not speak again.

Xie Yuanhong sighed, his eyes darkened for a moment.

The sound of firecrackers drowned out whispered conversations.

Xie Zhiyao glanced back, and only picked up the video after confirming that he was far away: "Oh..."

"What's wrong?" Xu Huai'an frowned subconsciously with a sigh, "Are you unhappy?"

"Hey, no. Don't frown, it's unlucky to celebrate the Chinese New Year." Xie Zhiyao said so, and walked to the side as far as possible to stay away from his parents, and then lowered his voice, "Just... I know something , and then my grandfather... Forget it, I can’t tell for a while, I’ll talk to you when I get back. It’s so late, where are you all alone?”

The other party is obviously not at home, the voice in the earphone is very noisy, and she can even hear the dialect conversation around the other party.

"Yeah." Xu Huai'an responded, and she turned the camera slightly, "Jiangbin Square, I came out with a few cousins ​​at home, but I couldn't play together, so I walked away by myself. Here, here you go Look at the snow."

Although it snowed in the province a few years ago, it was not as spectacular as what we saw when we walked north.There are children in the square who are having fun and making snowmen, and from time to time you can see someone carving ice with a knife on the frozen river under the bridge.

"Did you go to build a snowman?" Xie Zhiyao asked her with a sigh of envy.

Xu Huaian shook his head. It snowed earlier, and the yard was covered with a thick layer. The children of relatives ran down and called her to come with them from time to time.She couldn't help it, so she went downstairs, but she was still watching and didn't get started.

There is no other reason, I feel cold hands, and a little childish.

"Do you want to pile it?" There was snow on the first step in front of the railing, Xu Huaian took off the glove on one hand, and grabbed the snow into a ball, "The big one may not work, there are too many people, the small one can be given to you Try stacking one."

"Aren't you cold?" Xie Zhiyao laughed sullenly, and then said with a straight face on purpose, "Put on your gloves quickly! Let's make a snowman... Next winter vacation, I will grind my parents and go to your place Wouldn't it be good to play for two days?"

She leaned on the railing beside the bridge, resting her chin and said, "But there is no snowman... Huai'an, do you want to give me something else as compensation?"

Putting one hand in his pocket, Xu Huai'an said, "What do you want?"

"For Chinese New Year...give me a red envelope?"

She laughed and said, "Who always wants me to call my sister? Are you more embarrassed than me to ask me for a red envelope?"

Xie Zhiyao snorted and smiled slyly: "Then you call me sister? My sister will give you a red envelope."

"No." It was late at night, and the temperature was lower than when he came out. Xu Huaian pulled up the scarf around his neck to cover the lower half of his face, and the tip of his nose was a little red from the cold.

In fact, she is not a person who likes to go out. She can pass the day with a book alone, let alone go out at this time.This time the exception was made because Xie Zhiyao wanted to see the snow, and she had said before that she could shoot.

"Is it cold?" Xie Zhiyao didn't bother with the question of whether to call her sister or not. Looking at her reddened face, Xie Zhiyao felt a little distressed, "If it's cold, don't take pictures, go back quickly, or you'll catch a cold again."

"It's okay." Xu Huaian sniffled and exhaled white mist, "Besides, I'm not far from home, so I have to go back soon, don't worry."

Xie Zhiyao narrowed her eyes, she thought for a while, then turned the lens in her hand, and the stars and stars were vaguely reflected.

"Can you see it clearly?" She cut the camera back and stood in that direction by herself, "Guess what it is?"

Xu Huaian blinked and guessed, "What?"

"Kongming Lantern." Xie Zhiyao turned his head to the side, and the color of the lights just fell into his eyes.

"Bang!" There was a loud noise, and the night sky in the distance was full of streamers, fiery trees and silver flowers.

Behind her is the white snow and green pines and the sky full of fireworks, and the noise of the crowd and the sound of firecrackers are in her ears.There should be four seasons of sensuality in her eyes, but when she looked back, the shadows in those eyes dissipated, but only the reflection of a person remained.

That is a human fireworks belonging to one person.

Xu Huaian was stunned suddenly.

For a moment, she felt that the whole world was quiet.

On the large LED screen behind him is the countdown number.

Five, four, three...

Snowflakes fell on his shoulders, and the sky and the earth were completely white. Xu Huai'an stood in the center of the square, surrounded by crowds of people.

She was sure that she heard her own heartbeat clearly at a certain moment.

It seems that the seeds deep in the soil have finally broken out after a long period of dormancy, and it seems that the low seedlings have finally raised their heads and born towards the sun.

The countdown fell to one, the sound waves of the crowd burst out, and heavy snow fell one after another.

The girl on the other end of the phone bent her eyes and spoke with a smile.

"Happy New Year, kid Xu Huai'an."

"...Happy New Year." Xu Huai'an's throat moved slightly, and the corners of his lips slowly formed a smile.The girl raised her hand and pulled down the scarf little by little, revealing her original Wenxiu Qingjun face with a gentle smile.

"When will you return to Shenning?"

"Eh? Years later, maybe the seventh day?" Xie Zhiyao was taken aback by the question. She thought about the approximate time and asked back with a smile, "Why do you ask this? Tell me, Huaian, do you miss me?"

Xu Huaian chuckled and didn't answer her directly.

The two chatted for a few more words, and finally Xie Zhiyao felt that it was too late and urged her to go home to end the curtain.

The countdown was probably just over, and the crowd was still excited.

When Xu Huai'an walked home from the alley, her cousins ​​and sisters of the same age hadn't come back yet, and a large group of relatives who couldn't be named were playing cards in the living room. Praise with closed eyes.

"Xiao An is back? What did I say, you see, this kid is still sensible, right? The rest of the bastards don't know where they are going crazy!"

Xu Huaian twitched the corners of his mouth politely, and went upstairs while unfastening his scarf.

The sound insulation is not good, even if the door of the room is closed, the sound from downstairs can be heard.

The coat was hung behind the door, she went to the bed and sat down, slowly raised her hand to cover her left atrium, her eyes flashed blankly for a moment.

I can't tell what it feels like, it's kind of weird.

But Xie Zhiyao's question... She actually has an answer.

She did miss her a little bit, not much, just a little bit.

And in that brief moment of absent-mindedness, what was she thinking?

Xu Huaian took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

She wants to hug her.

Your guesses are accurate hhhh As for what happened...Let’s look at it later, when I wrote the outline, everyone’s ending was decided, but I feel my conscience and say don’t look at the copywriting to be separated, but it’s really not cruel of (sincerely jpg

I'm bald when I wrote the relationship line too thinly... I'm making arrangements, and it's still a year and a half before they both graduate from high school, so there's no rush to fall in love (laugh without saying a word jpg
