sanguine and depressive

Although I made an appointment at Maoca to set off fireworks with Wei Chengyu during the Chinese New Year, I missed the appointment because my mother called me and asked me if I would stay with her for a few days during the Chinese New Year.The way of speaking is very unfamiliar, and it is said: "Would you like to come to Shenzhen to live here for a few days?" It doesn't matter if you refuse, but I will naturally not refuse.

Years ago, I told Wei Chengyu about this, and made a special call because I wanted to hear his voice.On the other end of the phone, he was silent for a while, and then said: "That's good, you can spend time with your parents, and I'll take pictures of the fireworks for you."

Cindy came to pick me up for this trip, and we boarded the plane together. She said that the ticket was booked late, and it was the Spring Festival travel season, so there was only economy class on this red-eye flight.I said it's okay.

The plane flew in the dark night, and Cindy was unexpectedly in good spirits.I just asked by the way: "Mom's Weibo hasn't been updated for a long time."

She said: "Yeah, because I'm pregnant, I haven't done any business recently. I can take care of my baby at home, especially the first three months. It's more important. You may not understand it."

The headlights in the cabin were turned off, leaving the fluorescent lights of the two ground wires in the corridor.The backrests of low-cost airlines are close to [-] degrees and cannot be adjusted. Many people rest on the stiff seat backs with half-closed eyes.

In this environment, Cindy continued to share with me in a low voice: "Although your mother looks very young, she is not young after all. She is an advanced mother. You look so old. How old are you this year, and how old are you? "

I couldn't see anything in the small window of the plane, so I could only get closer and see me reflected in the faint reflection.

I replied: "I am a sophomore in high school."

I didn't hide it well, and Cindy found out. She probably felt that it was her responsibility to properly accommodate my emotions, so she hurried to find a napkin: "Hey, what are you crying for? Man, don't cry, don't cry, what's wrong?"

I didn't make a sound, because I was afraid of affecting the rest of the people around me.In the economy class, the seats are crowded with each other. Everyone gathers their legs and feet and squeezes together. A little louder breathing can be heard, so it is embarrassing to make a sound.

I just kept wiping away my tears with my palms, shook my head at Cindy, and finally forced a smile, begging her not to tell my mother about it.

When the plane landed, there were just traces of light in the sky. The taxi drove through the ray of sunshine, and I arrived at the destination in the early morning.

Mozart's music was playing on the stereo, Aunt Wang brought out breakfast, Dad sat in the main seat, and mother sat on the side.

In fact, the mother is still very thin, and her lower abdomen is also very flat, and it is not obvious that there is a new life being conceived inside.It's just that the hair was cut short and dyed back to a darker color.When I walked in the door, she came to greet me with a smile, stroked my cheek and said it was hard work.

The room I stayed in last time was cleaned by Aunt Wang and the bedding was changed.I saw a lonely eraser on the desk, which was dropped when I was doing my homework here last time, and there was a thin layer of dust on the place where I touched the plastic seal.

I took a nap in the afternoon, and when I got up again, it was nearly dusk.The winter night came quickly, I pushed open the door, and the heater in the living room was turned on very hot, blowing my face.

Mom is leaning against Dad to watch TV, but the sound of the TV is extremely soft, the curtains are not drawn, and the dark orange sunset is falling into the tranquility of literary and artistic films.

I sat on the small sofa next to me, and my father suddenly looked at me: "Cen Xiao, Mom and Dad have something to tell you." Mom smiled at me sweetly, and I felt that she was coming.At this moment, I actually felt like an outsider who was out of place.

Dad said in a deep voice: "Because conditions permit, and besides, you are lonely..."

I propped up the sofa with my hands, and carefully savored the texture of lychees that I felt on my fingertips.I was also prepared when I found folic acid last time, although it was more of a fluke.Until Cindy accidentally revealed it on the plane, and now the dust has finally settled.I think you don't need to say the reason, in fact, maybe you can tell me earlier.Because I will agree no matter what, I only have you as a pair of parents, and I love you very much.

Dad said: "This is also an accident, but since it happened, it is God's will..."

"I'm pregnant." Mom interrupted him, patted her stomach lightly, and shared the news with me tenderly, "You're going to have a younger brother or younger sister." The tail tone is rising.

In order to integrate into such a beautiful atmosphere, I also showed my most exquisite and cheerful smile.

At zero o'clock, the phone vibrated on time.I had been waiting for a long time, and immediately clicked on the message, and saw the photo that Wei Chengyu promised to send me.

There was also the sound of fireworks blooming outside the window, and the two sides overlapped, as if he was lighting it downstairs.

I was editing the words of praise in the dialog box, when I was interrupted by a call, and the name displayed was Wei Chengyu.

After answering, there was a lot of noise from the receiver, crackling, mixed with the real noise outside the window behind me, I waited in the dark with my breath held, thinking I missed it, but then his voice jumped into my ears clearly: "Cen Xiaoxiao—Happy New Year—"

I was lit like a flame, and said to me: "Happy New Year!"

Then he said: "Come, come, you, can you speak fluently, come and wish a happy new year."

I was at a loss, and then I heard the voice of the baby, and the pronunciation was loud and small: "Xiao Xiao~Happy New Year~"

"Who told you, Xiaoxiao, did you call Xiaoxiao, brother!" Wei Chengyu's anxious voice came out, and he was lying in ambush next to the microphone.Even if I can't see his face, I can imagine his expression now, and I can't help laughing.

I have no experience in talking to children, so I can only say: "Brother also wishes you a happy birthday..."

"Whose birthday is it, Nian Beast's birthday?" The voice on the receiver changed back to Wei Chengyu.

"Wrong." I blushed and quickly changed the subject, "Is your sister?"

"Yeah." He said, "Wang Dong's father came back from Japan this year, so I just came to see my mother. Now I'm downstairs at their house... Where are you going? Come here... Feng Duoduo!"

"Feng Duoduo, is that her name?" I couldn't believe it, it was almost as good as Cen Xiaoxiao.

"No, no," Wei Chengyu said while trotting, his voice trembling and panting, "I forgot her name, but I remember her name is Feng Duoduo, anyway, everyone calls her Feng Duoduo."

I:………………

I thought of the photos Wei Chengyu showed me of Feng Duoduo's phantom in the summer. Obviously, after half a year, the relationship between brother and sister has not improved significantly.

"Who insisted that I hold you down just now!" Wei Chengyu's voice was unclear, and he should be speaking to Feng Duoduo, "Don't run around, and when you step on other people's fireworks, our mother will use me as a firework, OK ?”

"I'm going to have younger siblings too soon," I said.If you don't hear it, forget it.

But he heard: "What? Your mother... is pregnant?"

"Hmm." I asked, "How should I be an older brother? I don't know that at all."

"Do you think I understand it?" He said, "Comrade Feng, can you just sit like this and wait until I finish this important call, or you can go to sleep now."

"You are so fierce to her." I laughed again, guessing that Wei Chengyu's look of helplessness at the moment, he also has such moments.

"It's fierce." He turned to a quiet place, "...What did your parents tell you today?"

"Hmm." I said, "I don't know if it's a younger brother or a younger sister."

"People who are parents don't worry about how to be parents, why are you worried about being a brother?" He said with a smile, "It's not like you are born to be a brother... Feng Duoduo——!"

"Why do you call him Xiaoxiao?" Feng Duoduo's soft voice came from the other end of the phone, "Xiaoxiao~ are you really small?"

I was still thinking about how to explain it to her, "Yeah, it's very small, yes, it's only this big, and I carry it in my pocket every day." On the other end of the phone, Wei Chengyu had already fooled his sister with a perfunctory tone.

"Wow - so cute - I want to -" Feng Duoduo shouted loudly.

In Feng Duoduo's mind, there must have been fantasies about strange unknown creatures at the end of the radio wave. Wei Chengyu created an unsolved mystery for her.

"Go, go, you don't have a share, what's mine is mine." Wei Chengyu announced coldly on the other end.

I buried my face in the quilt in a dark room, all my attention was focused on the sound of the phone.Suddenly I felt that if I were an older brother, it might be good to have such a younger sister.

And the sky outside the window is blooming colorful fireworks.

The author says:

After returning home, Feng Duoduo asked his parents and asked Wei Chengyu for 200 yuan to help him buy one. Wei Chengyu said that he couldn't buy it, and there was only one in the world.
