164 Chinese New Year, lonely

 Whenever you win the bid for the Spring Festival Gala, Yangma will give you a big gift package.

In addition to a media interview by the "Spring Festival Gala King", the company name of "Qilixiang" will be included in the credits at the end of the Spring Festival Gala program, which is equivalent to a small window of exposure.

In addition, one or two audience quotas will be allocated and corporate representatives will be invited to the event.

Every time a program is shot, especially a language-based cross talk skit, when the actor's baggage elicits a burst of laughter, the TV screen will cut to an audience member in the audience at the right time.

Among these people are representatives of companies that won the bid, and they are all in conspicuous positions in the auditorium, with special close-ups.

Qilixiang won the "Spring Festival Gala King" and naturally got two tickets. Lu Fei gave the rare opportunity to Lu Yun and Xiao Hongmei.

After all, the Spring Festival Gala these days doesn’t have to be like going to jail. There are no awkward laughs and no main theme. The program is very exciting!

Xiao Hongmei longed for it in her heart, but still refused: "If we go, won't we leave you at home alone?"

"Yes, if your sister-in-law and I went to see the Spring Festival Gala and left you alone, it would still be a Chinese New Year!"

Lu Yun nodded in agreement, but was also reluctant to leave Lu Fei behind.

"Brother, sister-in-law, you can leave early."

Xiao Hongmei was surprised and said: "Exit early?"

"General audiences certainly cannot leave the venue early. Are we ordinary audiences?"

Lu Fei realized that they had not adapted to the change in status. Although they still lived in Qingxuanwu, their family had already been exposed to the epidemic.

Yes!

The brother and sister-in-law suddenly realized that things were different from the past, and their family wealth was considered low-key. They looked at each other and asked, "Can you really leave the show early?"

"Of course, it doesn't matter if the sponsor comes more than an hour in advance. I will make dumplings at home and wait for you to come back to eat together."

While Lu Fei was talking, a figure flashed across the glass window behind him. Qin Hai walked into the house and asked him to do a small favor.

"I'll let you be my driver for a while. I'll pick you up at the station with me tomorrow. Zeng Li's mother and sister are coming to Yanjing to celebrate the New Year with her."

"Hey, where are you going, senior?"

"She went to the United States to see her father and won't come back until the Spring Festival Gala."

The Qinhai Road was very tight, but Lu Fei had known for a long time that Zeng Li's parents were divorced, but he didn't expect that his great-father would be a wealthy businessman.

The next day in the afternoon, at 4:25, the train arrived at the station.

Lu Fei was wearing a down jacket and was smoking a cigarette on the curb when he saw two women walking out of the station on Qinhai Road, holding hands with each other.

Lu Fei quickly put out his cigarette, went up to carry his luggage, and silently acted as a tool. Under the introduction of Qin Hailu, he met the slim and elegant Zeng mother, and the quirky Zeng Yu.

"Hello, brother."

Zeng Yu held Chibi Maruko-chan's bangs and said hello politely.

"Hello."

Lu Fei was already prepared. He took out a handful of candies from his pocket and handed them over.

"Thank you, brother."

Zeng Yu glanced sideways at Zeng's mother, and when she saw her nodding, she was immediately elated and happily put it in her pocket, "Brother, are you my sister's boyfriend, or Hailu's sister?"

"Ahem!" Qin Hailu's eyes widened.

Lu Fei was so playful that he joked: "Whose boyfriend do you think I am?"

Zeng Yu rolled his eyes, smiled and said: "My sister's!"

Qin Hailu rolled his eyes and said, "Xiao Yu, he is your sister's junior fellow student, he is just a friend."

"Can't junior brother pick up my sister?"

Zeng Yu chewed the candy and wanted to continue talking. She noticed that Zeng's mother had pulled down her clothes unnoticeably and immediately shut her mouth.

With a smile on her face, her great-grandmother looked Lu Fei up and down. She had a majestic appearance and extraordinary bearing. She couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"Thank you for coming to pick us up."

Lu Fei was polite and put all the luggage in the trunk, then drove the group to Zeng Li's rental house, quickly arrived at the community, dropped them off and left.

Looking at the Audi that disappeared into the alley around the corner, Zeng Yu ate the candy and said curiously:

"Mom, this brother is so skilled at visiting my sister's house, he must come often."

"I didn't even gag you from eating sweets!"

Zeng's mother glanced at it, but secretly made a note of it in her heart.

………

February 11th, New Year’s Eve.

The firecrackers in the community exploded one after another, and the fireworks went up in colorful colors, releasing light in the night sky.

Zeng Yu was lying on the window, holding her face in her hands and pouting, looking enviously at the children of the same age, when suddenly, a familiar figure appeared.

After waiting for a day, Zeng Li finally arrived.

"Mom, sister is back!" She shouted while running.???..Com

My great-grandmother wore an apron, walked out of the kitchen with the dishes, put the dishes on the table, and looked at the open door eagerly.

In the blink of an eye, Zeng Li took her sister's hand and stepped into the house together. She heard Zeng Yu shouting "Sister is home".

Zeng's mother sent Zeng Yu to wash her hands and left some space to chat with her eldest daughter. She hadn't seen her for almost a year and had endless things to talk about.

"Mom, dad bought me a house in Los Angeles."

Zeng Li struggled for a moment and said weakly.

"Just keep what he gives you."

Zeng’s mother remained calm, as if she was listening to something insignificant, and she didn’t want to ask any more questions. Instead, she seemed to be-->>

Unintentionally, the conversation shifted to Lu Fei.

"How old is your junior fellow student? How much younger is he than you?"

"He must have been in 1983."

"That means he is 7 years younger than you?"

Great-mother raised her eyebrows, and the interest she had just begun disappeared immediately. She looked talented and promising at a young age, but the age difference was too big.

Zeng Li hummed and pulled the corners of her mouth downwards, with a slight bitterness.

"This young man is very good." Zeng's mother sighed.

Zeng Li forced a smile and nodded with a stiff neck.

Zeng Yu took small steps and shouted: "Yes, sister, that brother Fei is so handsome, he seems to have opened some kind of company."

"Just a handful of candy, let's see what I can do with you."

Zeng's mother pinched her little daughter's cheek, then walked in and out of the kitchen, and brought out a bag containing a large box of dumplings, a local specialty of northern Hubei. They were all packed and given to Lu Fei.

"To my junior?" Zeng Li blinked.

Zeng's mother said: "After all, you picked us up, so you have to thank him properly. After all your hard work, you should know the way to his house, right?"

Zeng Li grabbed her hair in a panic and stood up, "I, I, I'll take a shower."

…………

Caishikou Hutong is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.

The erected red flag waved wildly in the cold wind. Outside the walls of the courtyard, there was laughter and laughter everywhere. Lanterns were hung high inside the walls. The courtyard was bright but deserted.

Lu Fei was alone in the room, Feng Gong's "On Stage and Off Stage" was playing on the TV, and Qilixiang's commercial had just passed.

"Oh! So lonely!"

He took the stuffing with chopsticks, put it in the dough, folded it in half, and pinched the edge of the dough into a lace shape. His hands and face were all stained with white flour.

"Dear audience friends, I miss you so much!"

Feng Gongcai shouted the mantra, and there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard.

"Who?"

Lu Fei walked through the doorway-like passage and opened the door. No one was there yet, and a faint fragrance floated to his nose along the airflow.

Damn it, a female ghost knocks on the door in the middle of the night?

A closer look revealed that it was really the "female ghost" Zeng Li, wearing a red velvet sweater and a woolen hat.

"Senior, why are you here?"

"My, my mother asked me to give you this."

Zeng Li stood outside the courtyard door, avoiding Lu Fei's eyes, and handed the bag over guiltily, "Thank you for coming to pick up my mother and sister."

"Hey, what does this mean? Thank you." Lu Fei invited him to sit in the room.

Zeng Li bit her lower lip and let the slight pain remind her that she had planned in advance to only deliver the things without entering the house, and to leave immediately after delivering them.

However, Lu Fei said abruptly: "Senior, I'm the only one at home. Come in and have a sip of tea, and I'll drive you back."

"Why are you alone? Where are your eldest brother and sister-in-law?"

Zeng Li stepped over the threshold by mistake and looked around. The house on Qinhai Road was dimly lit, but although Lu Fei's house was bright, it was really empty.

"Hey, it's on TV." Lu Fei said. "They are at the Spring Festival Gala."

Zeng Li glanced around, to where the dumplings were being made, and to the cold dishes and pickles on the dining table, which were not touched at all.

"You haven't eaten yet?"

"No, I'll wait until my eldest brother and sister-in-law come back."

"That will take a long time."

Zeng Li reached out and took out the box of dumplings directly from the bag. She opened the lid and saw steam coming out.

"These are northern Hubei dumplings made by my mother. They are called dumplings and are stuffed with chives and bacon. I wonder if you like them?"

"This thing is quite new."

Lu Fei looked at the buns, which were very different from dumplings, and took them into his mouth with interest. A mouthful of spicy food hit his taste buds, and he inhaled with a hiss.

“Spicy and fragrant!”

"If it smells good, eat more to fill your belly." Zeng Li took over the job of making dumplings, "You can eat them and I'll make them for you."

Lu Fei is not polite, he is indeed a little hungry.

"Eat it with the sauce. There is a sauce packet here, which contains a lot of chili oil. Be careful of the spiciness."

Zeng Li stared at him one bite at a time, eating with gusto, feeling secretly happy in her heart and smiling.

She has always been careful and easily satisfied.

The love given has always been quiet, as long as it can be exchanged for occasional care.

Under the light, the silhouettes of two people fell on a wall. Originally, they should be together, but now she is here, so they have company.

Men eat dumplings, women make dumplings, watch the Spring Festival Gala, and chat, and the flavor of the New Year comes naturally.

"Hiss~"

Lu Fei didn't feel lonely, but felt spicy.

A spicy white breath came out of my mouth, and I quickly drank a sip of Coke. The spiciness suddenly became stronger, and a sudden surge of hot air surged up and down, and my head was covered with sweat.

"How can you drink Coke while eating spicy food?" Zeng Li took out a tissue.

Lu Fei reached out to take it, but saw her taking the initiative to wipe the sweat from his forehead. The next moment, her hand trembled suddenly and she retracted it as if she was electrocuted.

Four eyes, two gazes, colliding together.

For a moment, it was quiet, even the air was quiet, there was only the sound of the TV, the sound of firecrackers, and the sound of fireworks.

The two of them were quiet.
