Chapter One(1/3)

She and I slowly walked out of the villa community. There was no language between us, only the "rustling" sound of our footsteps. (.om pure text)

Looking up, the moon in the sky is only about one-third of its full size. The dim brilliance echoes the light emitted by the neon lights on the ground, telling each other the loneliness of the palace in the sky and the prosperity of the world. The dim moonlight also sets off the sky.

It was very gray, and the mountains in the distance were also hidden in the night, and the lights on the mountains were outlined into stars in the sky.

After leaving the community, I immediately remembered a sentence: There is no night in this city. Because at this moment, the noise of the vehicles and the glare of the street lights have made the city look like day.

I suddenly didn’t want to walk outside with her because I felt that today’s city is the least festive place. Although the streets here are decorated with red lanterns and other things to create a festive atmosphere, the neon lights on the high buildings are also turned on.

, but I still feel very lonely, far less than in small cities. People in the countryside are very lively at this time when they go from door to door and a big family sits together. In addition, fireworks are not allowed in cities, which also makes it so lively.

The Spring Festival in the city seems to have no such atmosphere at all.[

I really miss every Spring Festival I spent in my hometown when I was a child.

On New Year's Eve, every household displays firecrackers representing the wealth of each family and sets them off to their heart's content. The sound of firecrackers is louder than the last wave and lasts for a long time. And at midnight, when it is time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, the sound of firecrackers is even louder and louder.

If your house sets off thousands of firecrackers, my house may set off 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of firecrackers. The East's house can set off for three to five minutes, and the West's can set off for ten minutes or even half an hour. If it's not enough, we have to take out those fireworks and set them off.

, just like a competition between the rich and the poor. As if it is a symbol of wealth, identity, or even status, the sound of firecrackers full of gunpowder has filled the atmosphere of the competition.

But in today's cities, there is nothing but bright lights. There is only the sound of car horns in the city. This has long lost the lively atmosphere of the New Year in the traditional sense.

The many Spring Festivals I had during my childhood are memories that I will never forget. Although my family was very poor at that time, we always looked forward to the arrival of the Spring Festival every day in our childhood, so that we could change our taste of poverty and wolf down our food.

Eat big fish and big meat. Although our generation was not rich in that era, big fish and big meat are indispensable during the Spring Festival. Just before the firecrackers of the Reunion Year have gone off and the adults are still busy in the New Year, we

A group of lively and cute friends will naturally bring some firecrackers in small groups to find our joy. Of course, the firecrackers at that time did not have as many tricks as they do now. At most, they just bought one or two small firecrackers and opened them.

Setting them off one by one is not only economical but also brings unlimited joy to our childhood. Only the children of those whose fathers or mothers work outside the home and have a little money will occasionally set off some sky cannons or fireworks.

The "high-end products" at that time would also be the envy of many friends.

During the Reunion Festival, each family only sets off one firecracker, ranging from ten thousand to ten thousand short firecrackers. Those from poorer families even omit the form of setting off firecrackers. In today's New Year, when the sound of firecrackers is loud,

The atmosphere was completely gone from the joy of my youth.

Nowadays, in this boring city, people close their security doors and eat and drink at home. They don’t know the names of the people across the street, nor where the neighbors above and below are from, let alone visiting each other.

The city has degenerated and we are slowly becoming Westerners.

Isn't it? The woman next to me, she and her family actually ran over and took my arm after the New Year's Eve dinner. I thought, maybe Westerners are not as open-minded as we are today.

I really didn't want to continue walking with her. I looked ahead and said to her: "There is a coffee shop there, let's go there and sit."

She said: "Okay."

To be honest, I really don’t want to go out with her today, but because my parents were there just now, I don’t want them to doubt my relationship with Dai Qian. Of course, my parents will not object to my falling in love, but they

You can never forgive me for being intimate with a married man.

What I didn't expect was that the business in this coffee shop was actually very good. On this New Year's Eve night, there were quite a few people sitting in this place. But most of them were young men and women. Maybe they didn't want to be there.

In such days, I feel lonely alone, so I make an appointment here with my friends or lovers to enjoy the warmth of this moment.

Dai Qian and I only sat here for less than an hour. She was indeed in trouble, both at work and at home.

Her trouble at work was that when she went to invite the bank for dinner on behalf of the hospital a year ago, she was told that the loan problem might be a bit troublesome. As for her family matter, her husband filed for divorce from her.

I promised to help her find a bank again, which I still had confidence in, because I had already expected this situation. At that time, Chang Bailing readily agreed to the loan because of my sake.

, now that I have left there, of course she has to think about it separately. But I believe I can convince her.

I can't say much about her family. But I only said one thing to her, "For a husband like you, divorce is enough."

When she was confiding to me earlier, she talked for a long time, and her face and eyes were full of sadness and frustration. I suddenly felt a little heartache, because in my memory, she has always been someone who loves to laugh.

Young woman look.

Maybe I'm wrong? Maybe I shouldn't have put her in this position?

"I have to go back. It will be twelve o'clock soon. I have to go back to accompany my parents." Later, I looked at the time and said to her.[

She glanced at me, her eyes full of expectation. But I could only look at her look because I couldn't continue to sit down with her here, let alone spend the night with her until dawn.

We have made mistakes before, and we cannot allow such mistakes to continue no matter what.

We waited on the side of the road for a long time before an empty taxi passed by. I sent her into the car and walked home. When I just walked to the gate of the community, gorgeous fireworks suddenly bloomed in the night sky of the city.

.

"Swish, swish, swish..." Bundles of dazzling light flew up into the sky, "Pah, pah, pah..." The bunches of light suddenly exploded, golden, silver, red,

Green, blue, star-like flowers flew around, like shining chrysanthemums, dazzling. With a loud "bang", the fireworks soared into the sky, blooming in the sky with colorful fireworks, some like

Meteors lingered in the night sky, some were like marigolds blooming happily, and some were like fairies scattering flowers, and small flowers fell from the sky. At this moment, several fireworks pointed directly at the sky, and several flame-like rays of light shot out.

The sky is proudly blooming. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, everything is complete and colorful, decorating the night sky beautifully and gracefully, illuminating the earth like day. The sky suddenly becomes a sea of ​​flowers, dazzling, sparkling trees and silver flowers. This city

At this moment, I suddenly woke up and became alive.

It is already midnight, and at this moment, it is already a new year. But I am still thinking about what Dai Qian told me just now, and I feel deep sympathy and worry for her. She, in this new year

Can you accomplish those things well?

I looked up at the sky, but what I saw was Dai Qian's melancholy face blooming with those gorgeous fireworks.

At this moment, in my eyes, the fate of these fireworks was regarded as a flash in the pan. Before I had time to appreciate its beauty, they all disappeared with a "bang". I don't know what the fireworks will do to my destiny.

Are you dissatisfied because everything happened too suddenly and everything went too fast? There is only a moment of beauty left in this world, which finally settles in the sky. Fireworks are like a person's life... in this world

Is there nothing eternal? Is eternity too abrupt?

I immediately thought that it would definitely not lament its fate, because it has a stage that it has longed for, and it only dissipated brilliantly after adding a glorious stroke, which was also the last stroke of its life. In fact, our human lives are also

So, as long as you leave one thing in your life that you think is the most beautiful, then your life will not be in vain.

I immediately understood that the moment the fireworks disappeared, they left behind their eternal existence. {Free novel} At this moment, I already wanted to watch the fireworks blooming in the sky, and I accelerated my pace home. I was thinking in my heart

I thought, it would be great if I had the opportunity to tell Dai Qian what I am feeling at this moment.

In my pocket is the year-end bonus she just gave me, several thousand dollars. Dai Qian put it in a big envelope. At this moment, the big envelope seemed a bit heavy in my pocket. It was telling me that I must go as soon as possible.

Find Chang Bailing.

After returning home, my mother looked at me and asked with a smile: "Who is this girl? Although she doesn't look very beautiful, she is still quite sweet."

I couldn't laugh or cry, "Mom, please don't be like this, okay? She is married. She is the deputy dean of my former unit, and she came to give me my year-end bonus. I just had a chat with her by the way."

My father also laughed: "Your mother has become a demon."

The mother muttered: "How can anyone come to give out bonuses at this time?"

My father's face suddenly changed, and he looked at me with suspicion. I felt a chill in my heart, and hurriedly took out the envelope from my pocket, "Look, this is the year-end bonus she sent.

"

My mother actually opened the envelope and looked at it, "So much money?"

I smiled and said: "This is not much. My previous unit was not very profitable. Mom, you can take this money and use it to buy groceries or something. If you want to use the money, I will give you a bank card tomorrow."

, just use it casually.”

Mother shook her head and said, "We don't want your money. Our money is completely enough. Your father has been working in your company for so long and has saved hundreds of thousands."

I couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Why do you have to make such a clear distinction? It's right for me to give you money. Well, you can take the money first. I'm going to take a shower, and you should go to bed early."

The mother then took the envelope, but she muttered: "It's too late for dinner tonight, and the Spring Festival Gala will be over when I get back."

I smiled and said, "It will be replayed tomorrow afternoon."

Mother sighed: "In the past few years, your dad and I spent the Spring Festival together, and we always said that it would be great if you came back to have dinner with us and watch the gala. But this year when we came to your place, we ate together, but

I missed this party. If I watch it tomorrow afternoon, the feeling will be different."[

My father said: "You, how come you still haven't understood it after living at such an old age? Nothing in this world is so perfect."

My mother suddenly stopped talking. I was thinking in my mind: After the Spring Festival, my father also went to work, and my mother was the only one left at home. How could she get used to it? At least she still has so many acquaintances in her hometown, but

here......

After taking a shower, I went into the living room and found that they were still there. My mother was watching TV and my father was reading there with a book. I suddenly felt in my heart: They have lived like this all their lives, and they have become completely accustomed to each other like this.

Do what you like by yourself, but you are also used to accompanying each other.

At this moment, I feel like I have become a redundant person.

In the next few days, I almost spent time curled up at home. The only time I went out was to have a meal with Lin Yi and my parents.

Lin Yi was very polite to my parents that night, and he chose one of the most luxurious restaurants in the city. The dishes he ordered were all very expensive. A meal for the four of us cost tens of thousands of yuan. My mother

After coming back, I couldn't help but smack my tongue, "A meal costs tens of thousands of yuan. The life of a rich person is different. But I think that's just the taste."

The father immediately laughed, "Didn't you say you wanted to ask him about our grandson? Why didn't you ask him?"

Mother shook her head and said: "That place is too luxurious, and I have never heard of those dishes. Boss Lin is so enthusiastic and polite, how can I ask?"

My father also said: "Yes. It's not easy for me to ask others. I think he must also have difficulties."

The mother then said: "Xiao'er, you must find a way to bring the child back. I have nothing to do here, so I might as well help you take care of the child when the time comes."

At this time, I made up my mind: I must get my child back as soon as possible.

This holiday feels so long to me, and it’s really hard to spend the days without work. Although it’s only a week, I feel like it’s as long as a month.
