As soon as the car door is closed, the interior of the car becomes an isolated and exclusive personal world for Yu Zhiming.
He first adjusted the seat to make himself more comfortable, then took out his mobile phone and connected it to the high-end bass audio equipment in the car through Bluetooth.
Next, Yu Zhiming clicked on an audio file sent by Gu Qingran.
And set to loop playback mode.
Yu Zhiming listened to the recording quietly first.
I have to say that the differences in dialects across China are really huge.
In the recording, the man chatted with others for four or five minutes, but Yu Zhiming was stunned not to understand a word.
Fortunately, he didn't need to understand the specific conversation between this person and his friend. What he needed to understand was what the person did and what happened to him while on the phone.
This requires Yu Zhiming to focus on identifying other subtle sounds in the recording besides phone calls.
While adjusting his physical and mental state, he carefully identified the tiny noises in the recording...
A vague figure appeared in front of Yu Zhiming.
This figure is holding a mobile phone in his left hand, speaking vaguely, and pacing back and forth with a somewhat shaky figure.
Suddenly, the figure stopped pacing and turned to look outside.
The next moment, the figure opened the door.
The sound of the wind, the sound of the TV in the building opposite, the sound of dogs barking, the sound of quarrels, the honking of cars in the distance, and many other noises came rushing towards me.
What you hear most clearly is the sound of flapping wings.
Following the sound of flapping wings, Yu Zhiming "saw" a little bird jumping happily on the railing.
The blurry figure obviously lowered his voice and tiptoed towards the bird...
The blurry figure suddenly reached out to grab it.
The bird was frightened and flew up.
The blurry figure couldn't wait to reach out and grab...
When Yu Zhiming opened his eyes, the illusion in front of him disappeared instantly. He sighed softly, picked up his mobile phone and dialed Gu Qingran's number.
"Don't have persecution paranoia. There are so many bad people and weird things happening. It's just an accident."
Then, Yu Zhiming described the situation he perceived in detail.
"It's to catch a bird?!"
Gu Qingran sighed during the call and sighed: "Now that I know the truth, I can finally explain it."
"The main reason is that my classmate's sister found me and said that her sister-in-law behaved strangely after her brother's death, which made her have to think more."
Yu Zhiming couldn't help but ask: "How much does she expect to come to you instead of going to the police to report the problem?"
Gu Qingran explained: "Of course she went to the police to report it first, but she couldn't produce any more evidence, and the police also had a conclusion about her brother's matter and refused to restart the investigation."
After a pause, he added: "Our Gu family also has some energy and influence in the local area."
Gu Qingran sighed again and said: "It's just an accident, but it's good news amid misfortune."
"Zhi Ming, let me tell you one more thing."
Gu Qingran said: "It's about Luo Qingqing. Jian Ling has sent people to follow her and investigate her for such a long time, but she hasn't found anything that can be used."
"It can be seen that this person is very cautious in doing things."
"Jian Ling also reported a small incident, saying that they saw a serious quarrel between Luo Qingqing and her son Qiu Yi four days ago."
This time and this quarrel made Yu Zhiming involuntarily think of Cai Haiwen's incident.
There is a high probability that Luo Qingqing forced Qiu Yi to change the decision of the First City Hospital and no longer hire Cai Haiwen...
After finishing the call with Gu Qingran, Yu Zhiming felt a little tired, so he packed the bed into a bed and lay down to rest.
Unknowingly, he fell asleep...
When Yu Zhiming woke up again, he saw a pair of bright eyes close at hand, and also noticed that night had fallen outside the car.
"What time is it?"
"It's seven o'clock, it's time to get up and eat."
When Yu Zhiming got off the bed cart, he heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the neighbors to the east and the surrounding villages.
You can also see fireworks rising into the sky from time to time.
The New Year is finally here...
Entering the eldest sister's yard and entering the main room, Yu Zhiming saw that the rectangular dining table was filled with chicken, duck, fish, abalone, sea cucumber and other dishes.
"Uncle, wash up quickly, I'm waiting for you." Xiaoxue brought a small half basin of warm water.
"Second brother-in-law has gone back?" Yu Zhiming asked casually.
"I'll go back after two o'clock in the afternoon."
After Yu Zhiming washed up, he found that everyone was already seated, so he sat down in the empty seat between the eldest sister and Qing Ning.
Dad Yu spoke first.
"This year is a year of big changes for our family. It can be said that it is a big change that has not happened in the past ten years."
"The gratifying thing is that they are all good and positive changes."
"What's even more gratifying is that the fourth and fifth children each brought back the other half of their lives."
Dad Yu raised his wine glass and said: "This first glass of wine is a tribute to the ups and downs, sweat and tears of the past year."
"Here, cheers."
Yu Zhiming also raised his own glass of honey water, and after clinking the glasses with his parents, eldest sister and brother-in-law, fourth sister Zhang Bai, Xiao Bo Xiaoxue, and Qing Ning, he took a big sip.<
/p>
Dad Yu’s opening remarks announced the official start of the New Year’s Eve dinner.
Yu Zhiming was not polite, he took down his chopsticks and picked up a piece of braised abalone with an attractive aroma.
Halfway back with the chopsticks, Yu Zhiming caught Qing Ning staring at the abalone from the corner of his eye.
Yu Zhiming sighed secretly.
After all, I am different from before, I am no longer alone.
Yu Zhiming turned his chopsticks and placed the abalone in the small bowl of lime.
"Here you go. Whatever you want to eat, just pick it up."
"Thank you Zhiming!" Qing Ning was full of joy, her eyebrows were as curved as half moons, and she became more and more radiant.
Yu Zhiming took another abalone for himself, and Xiaoxue's sweet voice sounded in his ears.
"Uncle, I also want to eat abalone."
"Don't you have any hands?"
Xiaoxue, who felt that she was no longer favored, frowned and had no choice but to provide enough food and clothing by herself...
After three rounds of food and five tastes of wine, the people at the table entered a eating and drinking mode where chatting was the main focus.
Yu Zhaoxia approached Yu Zhiming and said, "In the afternoon, my parents received a call from my aunt, saying that the family would come over on the fifth day of the new year."
"Which aunt?" Yu Zhiming was still a little confused.
Yu Zhaoxia explained: "My father's brother's wife."
Yu Zhiming came to his senses and said: "My uncle has been dead for many years, and the two families have not been in contact for several years. Why do they suddenly want to move over with the whole family?"
Yu Zhaoxia chuckled and said: "I said my family moved to Hangzhou to settle down, and when I passed by our place, I stopped by to take a look."
Yu Zhiming made a soft noise and frowned: "We originally planned to leave for Binhai on the fifth day of the lunar month."
"When I arrive in Binhai, I will settle down and rest for a day on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and then I can go to work with peace of mind on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."
Yu Zhaoxia said: "What my parents mean is that you should set off on the fifth day of the lunar month according to the original plan."
"It doesn't matter if we go to Binhai for a day or two in the evening. Anyway, there is a direct high-speed rail, which is very convenient."
Sudden changes forced the itinerary plan to be adjusted, and Yu Zhiming was in a somewhat unhappy mood...
The New Year's Eve dinner started at seven o'clock and lasted until nearly nine o'clock in the evening.
Yu Xiangwan stood up impatiently.
"Ling Ning, Qing Ning, let's set off the fireworks quickly. My Lao Wu has prepared a lot of fireworks for you."
Yu Zhiming looked at Xiaobo and Zhang Bai, and saw that they nodded gently, knowing that everything was ready.
He stood up in cooperation and said: "Don't worry, wait until I get into the car, then you can set off the fireworks..."
For the next fifteen minutes, Yu Zhiming sat on the bed cart outside the eldest sister's yard and watched a fireworks show through the car window.
Later, Yu Zhiming got out of the car and walked into his parents' yard. Unexpectedly, he saw the second sister's family of four and the third sister's family of four.
"Why are you all here?"
Yu Xinyue chuckled and said: "Why are we absent from this important event in the fourth child's life!"
"It's just a New Year's Eve dinner an hour early."
She reached out and touched the heads of the son and daughter in front of her, and said with a smile: "I heard that you can set off fireworks with your own hands. These two naughty children are more impatient than us."
Yu Zhiming also touched the heads of the two little guys and warned: "Be careful when setting off fireworks later."
He turned his attention to the yard again.
Hundreds of red candles arranged in the shape of an arrow piercing the heart have been lit, and the candle flames are rippling in the breeze.
Outside the candles, various fireworks were used to create a heart-shaped circle.
Yu Zhiming made a visual inspection and found that if so many fireworks were set off one after another, they would probably not be able to be set off in an hour.
Zhang Bai, who was wearing a leather jacket and full of energy and holding a bouquet in his hand, was already standing in a red heart surrounded by candles and waiting.
At this time, Yu Zhiming heard a familiar sound of footsteps and reminded: "Here we come."
After a while, Yu Zhiming saw the fourth sister wearing an eye patch walking into the yard surrounded by her parents, the eldest sister's family, and Qing Ning.
The next moment, Qing Ning suddenly raised her hands and gave Yu Xiangwan a princess hug. She carried her into the candle red heart and placed her opposite Zhang Bai.
This scene made Yu Zhiming unable to help but grin.
Yu Xiangwan took off his blindfold.
She saw Zhang Bai holding a bouquet in front of her and couldn't help but cover her mouth.
Then, she saw clearly the red candle shapes nearby and the fireworks one after another outside.
She also saw her parents, eldest sister, second sister, third sister, the fifth child and other family members, all of whom were guarding her behind.
Yu Xiangwan suddenly felt that his nose was a little sore.
"Zhang Bai..."
"Xiang Wan, listen to me first."
Zhang Bai interrupted: "Xiang Wan, your beauty, your sincerity and kindness, and your flawless smile have dispelled my difficulties, helplessness, and deep sadness."
"Xiang Wan, you made me feel the beauty of life again, and you also made me full of hope and fighting spirit again."
"My mother told me before she left that you are the best girl in the world. If I miss you, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"I couldn't agree more with this statement."
As he spoke, Zhang Bai knelt on one leg in front of Yu Xiangwan, holding a flower ball in one hand and an open ruby ring jewelry box in the other.
"Xiang Wan, will you marry me?"
At this moment, Yu Xiangwan was full of tears and was too excited to speak. He could only nod vigorously to express his thoughts.
This scene suddenly made Yu Zhiming feel a little heartbroken.
Regardless of wind or rain, the sister who holds his hand to and from school every day is going to become someone else's wife.
The little girl who stood up to protect him from being bullied by bad classmates now has someone else protecting her.
This was originally a good thing, but why was his vision blurred and his heart sore?
Suddenly, Yu Zhiming felt his palm soften and was held by a soft and tender hand.
"Zhi Ming, you still have me."
"The important thing is that you have not lost your fourth sister, but you have one more person who loves you..."
