can you let me go

On the train last night, Pei Xiangli didn't sleep well. Sitting on the very warm Kang Yan'er at this moment, his head was groggy, but the noise in the room was too loud, so he could only hold on.

I don't know how long it took, Pei Xiangli vaguely heard Pei Xiangqing's voice from outside, as if he was talking loudly, and Pei's father on the side also heard it, and patted Pei Xiangli on the shoulder: "Go and see what's wrong with your sister?"

When Pei Xiangli walked to the door, he found that the door of the room was not closed. He was only wearing a shirt and suddenly woke up from the cold. He saw Pei Xiangqing standing in the yard with anger written on his small face. The woman chirped and said something.

When they got closer, Pei Xiangli could hear what they were talking about.

"Oh, my brother didn't do it on purpose, so don't argue with him!"

"Yeah, let's have a good time during the Chinese New Year. You are a small child, why are you so angry, please smile!"

When Pei Xiangqing saw Pei Xiangli coming, she ignored the people around her and ran over. Those women turned their heads and saw Pei Xiangli, with embarrassing smiles on their faces.

"What's wrong? Why are you angry?" Pei Xiangli nodded to them, bent down and asked Pei Xiangli.

"He just finished touching the mud and insisted on grabbing my clothes. I said no, but he still grabbed it!" Pei Xiangqing was very aggrieved and showed Pei Xiangli her skirt. On the milky white skirt, there were several black handprints.

On the side, a little boy about five or six years old stood beside his mother, looking over, holding the bag of snacks that Pei Xiangqing gave him just now.

Sensing Pei Xiangli's gaze, the woman patted her son's head: "Damn, is it just a child playing around! Come on, apologize to my sister!" The child twisted his body and broke away from the woman's hand. No apology at all.

Pei Xiangli pulled Pei Xiangqing who still wanted to talk: "It's okay, if it's dirty, it will be dirty, if you're unlucky, I'll buy it for you again."

After finishing speaking, she stood up and pulled Pei Xiangqing back: "Go into the house, I'll take you to change clothes!"

After Pei Xiangli brought Pei Xiangqing into the house, the women in the yard looked at each other and looked at you, all a little embarrassed, and pulled the boy's nunu mouth: "Don't say, is this eldest son a mother's sister?" It's pretty good...”

"His family is so rich, what's the big deal about multiple girls? That little girl is quite clean."

"The pampered one in the city has a big temper!"

After entering the room, Aunt Zou came over, and seeing Pei Xiangqing's expression turned pale, she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

Pei Xiangqing told Aunt Zou what happened in the yard again, and Aunt Zou looked at her skirt: "What a big deal, don't lose face when it's Chinese New Year, it's a joke. Let's go, I'll go back and change with you !"

Pei Xiangli secretly gestured to Pei Xiangqing who was being dragged away, meaning that when she got back, she could buy whatever she wanted. Pei Xiangqing was amused by him and went to change clothes in the house.

When the afternoon was almost over, Pei Xiangli went back to his room and slept for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he heard the bustle and bustle outside and was about to have a New Year's Eve dinner!

The New Year’s Eve dinner is very rich. During the New Year’s Eve in the village, pigs and chickens are slaughtered, and all the dishes are served on the bowl. Pei’s father and brothers, plus the elders in the same village, had a few drinks in a lively manner. Women and children ate After that, go chat and watch TV.

General Pei Xiangli had two drinks with Father Pei and the others, and then left with Pei Xiangqing who came to call him.

There was a lively and festive sound coming from the TV, and Pei Xiangli realized that he hadn't watched the Spring Festival Gala for several years. The frozen pears and persimmons were brought in pots from outside, and when he took a bite, there were still ice balls inside.

There is a custom of making dumplings in the middle of the night in the north. After ten o'clock, a pot of reconciled noodles was brought out, and a group of people started making dumplings in full swing. Seeing Pei Xiangqing's curious face, the second aunt cheerfully pulled her over and held her hand. Teach her how to make willow leaf-shaped dumplings.

The adults who were blushing from drinking began to give out red envelopes to the children. The children said auspicious words one after another. After Pei's father gave it to Pei Xiangqing, he stuffed another red envelope into Pei Xiangli.

Pei Xiangli took the red envelope and was happy: "Dad, how old am I, you give me the red envelope?"

Father Pei, who was a little excited after drinking, patted Pei Xiangli on the shoulder twice vigorously: "Aren't you my son at a young age! Take it, let's have a good New Year, and the next year will be smooth!"

He chatted with Pei Xiangli a little more with the help of wine, and Aunt Zou couldn't listen anymore, and pulled him away: "Okay, it's useless to tell the child, quickly bring me to you." I took the anti-alcoholic medicine! Don't be drunk here!"

Thinking of the sound of fireworks outside, Pei Xiangqing couldn't stay in the house anymore, she was about to run outside, but was held back by Pei Xiangli, Pei Xiangliu took out another red envelope from his pocket, it felt very thick, and stuffed it in Pei Xiangqing's hand : "I'll give it to you, it's up to you whether you can hide it from your mother!"

"Thank you, brother, you are the best for me!" The brother and sister exchanged a tacit look, and Pei Xiangqing was happy

Go out to watch the fireworks.

When Pei Xiangli put on his coat and went out, the fireworks in the yard just soared into the sky, exploding in the starry night sky because there was no pollution, it was extremely spectacular.

Pei Xiangli looked at the time, and it was almost twelve o'clock. When another firework was in the air, he dialed a video call to Zhou Jibai, and it was connected almost at the same time. Zhou Jibai was on the screen. See the moment when the fireworks bloom.

Then I heard Pei Xiangli's specially raised voice: "Can you hear me clearly?"

"I can hear you clearly." Zhou Jibai was amused as he looked at Pei Xiangli's half snow-white face protruding from his hat and scarf, "Why are you dressed like a stupid bear?"

When Pei Xiangli opened his mouth, he let out a cloud of white breath: "You are awesome, you can try it like a human being at minus thirty degrees!"

Zhou Jibai didn't get angry when he was bullied, and Pei Xiangli, who was cheerful, bristled.

"I thought you had the problem of losing your memory as soon as you go out. As long as we don't get together, you will pretend that you don't know me, and you won't even reply to me." Zhou Jibai complained half-truthfully.

"The phone has no signal, how can I set up a signal network myself?" Pei Xiangli Mian stretched out his hand from his sleeve, squeezed the phone and pointed the camera at his face.

"Have you eaten the dumplings?" Pei Xiangli just finished speaking, and some family started to set off thousands of ringing whips, and the noise was too loud. Pei Xiangli subconsciously raised the phone higher and brought it closer to his ears.

Zhou Jibai saw that the camera was getting closer and closer, almost touching his side face, he could even see the mist on his eyelashes, and the tip of his nose was red from the cold.

"Auntie wrapped it up and frozen it in the refrigerator. I'll cook some later." While talking, he couldn't help reaching out to touch the screen, as if he could feel the chill of frost and snow emanating from Pei Xiangli's body through the lens .

Just when he was about to touch Pei Xiangli's side face with his finger, the camera zoomed away suddenly, the sound of firecrackers stopped temporarily, and Pei Xiangli asked him with an inexplicable expression: "Auntie cooks your New Year's Eve dinner? "

Zhou Jibai quickly withdrew his hand, and touched his nose twice with some guilt: "My parents are going to the Spring Festival Gala, what should I cook at home alone?"

"Ah..." Pei Xiangli was taken aback for a moment before he remembered that he had said this.

Seeing Pei Xiangli expressing regret on his face, although Zhou Jibai didn't feel that celebrating the New Year alone was something to be unhappy about, and he was used to it for so many years, he still couldn't help teasing Pei Xiangli.

"It's so lively over there, the whole family gathers together..."

He deliberately turned the camera around to let Pei Xiangli look inside and outside the dark house. Fireworks are not allowed in the capital, and even outside the windows are very quiet. The camera only scanned a few houses where lanterns were hung outside the windows, compared with this side , is really a little lonely.

Outside the camera, he adjusted his posture and leaned against the window with a smile on his face, but he deliberately used his line skills to suppress his voice, making his tone a bit low.

"It's boring to be alone... Otherwise, you can come back early to spend the New Year with me." Before he finished speaking, he heard the voice of a delicate little girl from the receiver.

"Brother! What are you doing? Help me light the fairy stick!"

Zhou Jibai raised his eyebrows: The little girl really can't be in a hurry, but she said: "My sister is looking for you? Your voice is so sweet..."

"OK..."

Zhou Jibai suddenly listened to Pei Xiangli's answer and hit his ears: "What's the matter?" He asked uncertainly.

"Didn't you ask me to go back earlier?" Pei Xiangli replied naturally.

Zhou Jibai just teased Pei Xiangli, but he didn't expect him to actually agree, and said solemnly: "I'll go back and look at the ticket..."

"Brother! What are you doing? Come on!" Pei Xiangqing poked her head over.

"I'll hang up first!" Pei Xiangli waved to the camera and pressed the hang up button.

After Hua hung up the phone, Zhou Jibai realized that besides the sound of fireworks and firecrackers, what he heard just now was his own heartbeat. Create room for imagination.

Pei Xiangli didn't notice that something was wrong with Zhou Jibai, and after hanging up the phone, he was dragged away by a group of children to set off fireworks. He stayed up until midnight, and rarely fell asleep while lying on the bed.

I am used to living alone, and when I was called up in the morning, I sat at the table with a group of people to have breakfast with a dazed expression.Because Pei Xiangqing stayed up too late yesterday, she couldn't get up at all today, so after dinner, only Pei Xiangli and Pei's father went to visit Uncle Wu's house on the same street.

Not long after I left, a few elders and peers came over to the old lady's house to chat.

Aunt Zou was not familiar with these relatives. After meeting and saying hello, she sat and listened to their chat. These people were chatting, and for some reason, the topic came to Father Pei's family.

A relative of my aunt's generation asked Aunt Zou while eating melon seeds: "Is your eldest's 24th this year?"

Aunt Zou nodded, and the old lady continued to ask, "I heard that you are not married yet?"

"He was still in school last year, so he hasn't considered this yet..." Aunt Zou smiled and replied lightly.

"Although it's good for boys to study more, how come they are so old? You don't talk about him?" The old lady was very interested in Pei Xiangli, and continued on her own.

The old lady patted the skin of the melon seeds on her hands, picked up an orange and broke it open: "You and his dad didn't want to show him?" She thought for a while: "The girl from the old Wang's family in our back village was also a girl from last year. He is only in his early twenties when he came back from working in a big city, he is quite handsome and quick-spoken, why don't you take advantage of the Chinese New Year and give him a good look!"

Aunt Zou didn't expect that the topic would involve a blind date for Pei Xiangli, and waved her hand: "The child has his own ideas when he grows up, and his father and I don't plan to care about him, let's wait until he meets the right one... "

"I don't have to say that it will succeed, so I just look at each other! How can I find the right one if I don't look around?" The elderly lady, the most willing thing to do when she has nothing to do is to protect the media. vigorous.

Seeing that Aunt Zou was really unwilling, the two relatives sitting next to him poured a drink for the old lady: "Auntie! Don't worry about it, Xiang Li is so beautiful. If you want me to say, it's better than that. The girls here are all beautiful! He will definitely not like the girls here!"

"Hey, you said Xiang Li is a boy, why does he have such long hair like a girl?"

"Isn't it? When I first saw him, if he wasn't so tall, I almost mistook him!"

As they talked, they turned their heads and looked at Aunt Zou with some inquisitiveness. Aunt Zou's expression faded after hearing their glances and words...
