65. New Year's Eve (seeking monthly ticket)

[The rough draft has not been changed]

[Jinling Dialect-Situational Course Ended, a, Excellent]

[Hidden Course-Experience the end of simulated elderly life, a, excellent]

Xia Yuyouyou opened her eyes, and didn't leave the living room or balcony. She was just lying on the bed. Her whole body was not in a very good condition, with a strong twilight air. Her eyes were full of sadness and loneliness. She was curled up and sickly, like

A dying old man.

She didn't know how long this state lasted. She sighed quietly and said with difficulty, in a pitiful and weak tone, in Jinling dialect that couldn't be more pure, "Sister Liu, have a good trip, Old Man Li."

, I'm sorry, Sister Xia took the first step."

She slowly recalled the memories of the more than ten years in Jinling City and said her final farewell.

Aunt Xia's life, or the more than ten years that Xia Yu has experienced,

If the first ten years are described as colorful, the next two or three years will only be filled with joys and sorrows.

It took Xia Yu a year or two to fully integrate into the life of the elderly, and it was a long time to meet Aunt Liu.

The two of them just danced in the square at first, but as time passed, she gradually forgot her real identity.

However, as the population ages and the square dance team continues to grow, there is not enough space for them to dance. Aunt Xia has no choice but to return to the world.

She began to encourage Aunt Liu to join a group of elders and aunties to occupy the basketball court where the students played, and there was also a fight between old and young. In the end, winning or losing was not important. The most important thing was that Aunt Xia became famous.

Later, he took Aunt Liu to remodel her body and go to a college for the elderly, where she learned piano, calligraphy, incense, and tea art.

It can be said that in those few years, Aunt Xia was a leading figure in the elderly group who was at the forefront of fashion. With her beauty that looked down upon the elderly, she gradually became a trendsetter in the elderly community.

It's a pity that as beautiful as it is in front, it's miserable in the back.

First, Aunt Liu contracted a terminal illness, which cost her the family money, but they could not be cured. In the end, they had to move to a rented house in a village in the city.

Xia Yu could still help him a little, but his son Xia Yilu got married and got a powerful wife. He became an unfilial son who married a wife and forgot about his mother.

They kicked Xia Yu out and gave her an old house to live in in a remote community, and their living expenses were greatly reduced. As a result, even if she invested all her savings, she could not save Aunt Liu in the end.

One winter night, Aunt Liu, who was skinny and skinny, endured the pain, held her hand and left.

Pass away and live forever.

Xia Yu still remembers what Aunt Liu said to her at the end, "In the last few years of my life, it's great to know you, sister!"

Aunt Xia cried heartbrokenly.

Fortunately, Aunt Liu is gone, and their filial son and daughter-in-law are no longer burdened by their mother. They made a comeback within two years. Xia Yu is finally relieved, otherwise she would be afraid that her old sisters would not be able to let go of their filial son and daughter-in-law.

As soon as Aunt Liu left, the old sisters she used to play with were far away. She was so sick that Xia Yu couldn't walk anymore. She didn't want to meet new people anymore. There was only one old man, Li, who was quite persistent with her.

As soon as she moved away, he turned around and moved downstairs to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu is older and doesn't have that thought anymore.

But the old man didn't care, knowing that she couldn't cook, so he brought her breakfast and cooked meals every day.

Their sons and daughters had all quarreled over this, fearing that Old Man Li would get mad and give all his inheritance to Xia Yu.

In the end, Old Man Li passed all the family property to his son and daughter, leaving only this one in exchange for his leisure.

Within a year, Xia Yu fell ill. He had terminal nasopharyngeal cancer and his son was missing, so he gave him some money.

Every day when I go to the hospital for registration, consultation, and hospitalization, Old Man Li is with me.

At first, she had to undergo chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In the later stage, all her hair and teeth fell out. She was almost the same as before Aunt Liu died. She was so thin that only skin and bones were left. Old Li and Xia Yili both had money and no money, but

Xia Yu couldn't bear it and it was too painful, so he stopped doing it.

Xia Yilu came to send money about once every month or two. He heard that he had given birth to a grandson, but Xia Yu never hugged him because he was afraid that she might catch an infection.

Xia Yu didn't care. At his age, he looked away. But his health was getting worse day by day and his memory was getting worse.

After all, many times, I only remember Aunt Liu, and Old Man Li also forgets.

But Old Man Li didn't care and continued to take care of her as always.

Until a week before his death, it was as if he had a flashback and remembered Old Man Li again. Perhaps Old Man Li could feel that her time was running out, so he proposed to her, and Xia Yu finally agreed. Without the blessings of his children and grandchildren, the old man and his wife just

With the blessings of strangers, I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate and took a set of wedding photos. Old Man Li's baby couldn't do it.

He also kept saying that she was beautiful, and that he had never seen anyone as beautiful as her in this life.

After getting married, the two moved together. A week later, Xia Yu fell into a coma and was sent to the hospital for rescue. However, just after he got off the operating table, he met Old Man Li in the ICU. He couldn't hold on until he finished a sentence and died.

.

Her last thought before she died was, "Sister Liu, I will be here when you die. Our old man Li will be here when I die. It is my pity for our old man Li. Who can accompany him for a journey then?"

?”

If there were no comparison with the joys of the previous years, the next few years would not be so bitter; but without the bitterness of the next few years, we would not know how good the future is. There are so many people who can accompany you to the end of your life.

Once, this world is worth it!

She sighed, "Sister Liu, Old Man Li, it's great to have you!"

Xia Yu had some assumptions about his past personality before, and why he didn't take the world of fast travel seriously in the past.

Maybe it's because of this...

Every time I experience the world, it is like experiencing a new life. Sometimes I am not afraid of forgetting myself, but I gradually can't tell which one is me. What is even more sad is that I have to watch my relatives and friends in the world pass away.

, there is nothing she can do, she can only watch with cold eyes. How could she be willing to experience this kind of life with all her heart?

"I don't know if Old Man Li can hold on after I leave... Forget it, there's no point thinking about it anymore!"

Wiping the non-existent tears from his eyes, he finally came out of his gloomy state.

In the Jinling dialect course, Xia Yu got an A grade half a month ago. During the class with teacher Xie Weirui, she continued to show her language talent. A few days ago, the teacher finally announced that she was going to start teaching and that he had nothing left to teach her.

The hidden course took Xia Yu six times. During the process, Xia Yu was worried that he would be too immersed in it, so he only held a class every three days.

The rest of the classes like [Classical Dance Course] were also successfully completed. After completing the second stage of the [Pipa] course, Xia Yu stopped continuing. It is enough to light up this skill. If you are proficient, there is no need for it for the time being.

Twenty days have passed.

As for other skills in the senior experience course, such as piano, tea art, incense, etc.... they were also erased the moment she left the course. Due to the nature of the system, she would never be given the opportunity to take free courses for free.

I got up, opened the curtains, enjoyed the warm winter sun, secretly took out a pack of cigarettes from my bag and ran to the toilet to squat.

Today is very busy. In the north, her mother can’t make dumplings for Chinese New Year. She can’t chop and stuff the stuffing, but she can make them. In my memory, Xia Yu has never failed in making dumplings.

In the past, she and Xia Yi did hundreds of them.

"At least I have help this year." She muttered, it was really a psychological shadow for more than ten years.

Soon Meng Dong also woke up. The two of them occupied a bathroom each, and there was no conflict. They were all dressed up, put on the red coats that Ms. Yu Heng picked out for them, and ran downstairs.

Since Ms. Yu Heng went on spring break, Xia Yu and the other two children had nothing to do but were caught shopping in shopping malls.

Tao Tang and Xia Yu had prepared gifts for relatives and friends, so her mother took an eye on the three people's clothes.

To celebrate the New Year, of course you have to wear new clothes, and they have to be bright red. No matter whether they look good or not, they are very festive. Even Yuanbao received a few red bows. The little guy was very resistant at first. How could Grandma Yu Heng allow it?

Resisting? Just use the big move 'Xia Gouzi'. Under Xia Yi's coercion, the little guy can only swallow his anger, wear a bow and a bell, and walk like a porphyrin.

Comrade Lao Xia and his wife did not dare to publicize the news that Xia Yu came back early to celebrate the New Year. Grandma did not tell her, so she took Xia Yu's three children to her grandfather's house and ate at the house of her aunt who was very kind to Comrade Lao Xia.

meal.

Grandpa Xia Yu has only one uncle besides Ms. Yu Heng. He has nothing to say to Xia Yu's family. The money for Xia Yu's house was given by his uncle. At first, he didn't want to come back, but Comrade Xia Yu is not a coward.

Not only was the debt repaid, but interest was also added, and the two families got along very well.

My aunt, because she wanted to support Comrade Xia to go to college, she also stopped going to school after graduating from high school.

Fortunately, I had some connections and found a job in a public institution. After all, more than 20 years ago, a high school diploma was considered a high degree of education.

When Comrade Lao Xia bought a house a few years ago, she also listened to her younger brother's advice and bought one. Now she is living a good life, but the house she bought is not close to her. In the early years, she regretted not buying a community, otherwise she could help

Take care of Xia Yu's siblings.

Most of the New Year gifts that Tao Tang and Xia Yu bought were delivered to these two families, and the rest were delivered to Xia Yu's grandparents' homes one after another in the past two days. Xia Yu must show his face, and Xia Yu's grandparents are not included.

Damn, although I have never had any control over Xia Yu's family, I never interfered with Lao Xia's son's family affairs. I just gave him the gifts during the holidays, but I was a bit shy, so I would inevitably say some weird words when I went there.

I have the impression that Xia Yu talked back a lot when he was young, because his uncle's cousin bullied Xia Yi a lot when he was a child, but his grandma was very partial, so Xia Yi suffered a lot. When he grew up, he knew that talking back would not help, so he turned around and retaliated.

If you have to be scolded by Comrade Lao Xia, forget it.

After experiencing old age life once, she gradually saw some clues that she had not seen before. Grandpa Xia Yu was supported by her uncle, and the old man had a house. Naturally, the uncle did not dare to treat him badly when it came to supporting him, but grandma followed her.

My brother-in-law is living a good life, and my aunt is very powerful. My uncle's family has to rely on my aunt's family to make a living. Grandma Xia Yu is not partial, so what else can I do?

Although Comrade Lao Xia has no support from his parents after getting married, he only gets some living expenses every month.

You don’t have to take care of the elderly inside and out, so why bother complaining? To be honest, it’s very worry-free.

At half past seven, as soon as Xia Yu entered the door, Comrade Xia grabbed her and gave her instructions.

"Are you up? Hurry up and grab your brother and ask him to put up the Spring Festival couplets. Hang up the lantern. I've already chopped the stuffing. After a while, you'll finish attaching the couplets and I'll also finish the skin. Keep your voice down, your mother.

She’s still sleeping, wake her up at eight o’clock for breakfast!”

After finishing speaking, Comrade Lao Xia turned around and entered the kitchen, leaving Meng Dong snickering aside. Xia Yu, who had long been accustomed to it, was calm and fed directly by this dog food. He was able to get up early yesterday.

Why did I sleep in so late today?

'Hey! I can't think about it anymore!'

Yuanbao hadn't slept enough yet, so he jumped directly onto the three-meter cat climbing frame that Comrade Lao Xia bought for him, nestled in a plastic basin, and continued to sleep in his cage.

After knocking on the door of Xia Yi's room, Xia Yu opened the door after a few seconds and went in. As the child is older, he has to be more careful.

At this time, Meng Dong simply stayed away. He was really curious about the male high school student! He was afraid that he couldn't control his eyes!

As soon as he entered the door, Xia Yu rushed straight to the bandit's den and pulled Xia Yi up from his bed, "High school boy, wake up!"

Xia Yi turned over and ran back to bed. Xia Yu's family had a problem. They were very angry when they got up.

Xia Yu raised his eyebrows, "I'll give you three seconds to count."

"My good sister!"

Xia Yi cried, "Thankfully you didn't read and review until two or three in the middle of the night. My whole body is sore, my legs are cramped, my stomach hurts, and I just want to sleep for a while!"

"When you play games all night, I don't see you complaining about being tired. You feel more energetic early in the morning. But when it's time to study, do you have all the symptoms?"

How could Xia Yi resist his sister? As soon as Xia Yu fell silent, he couldn't do anything. He cursed and got up, "We won't let anyone sleep in during the Chinese New Year. How can we have a break to fart? Do we still have human rights!"

Without brushing his teeth or washing his face, he took paste and Spring Festival couplets and pasted them on Xia Yu upstairs first, then turned around and pasted them downstairs. While he was pasting them downstairs, he bumped into the neighbor next to him.

"Hey, Xia Yu is back?"

"Yes, come back to celebrate the New Year. It's a good time for uncle and aunt to celebrate the New Year." Xia Yu smiled and greeted them.

This family has pretty good character. In addition, the son and daughter have all been in Xia Yu’s parents’ class before, so they get along well with each other. This gives Xia Yu’s family face. Xia Yu is not broken either before or after the accident.

Talk nonsense.

At eight o'clock, Comrade Lao Xia woke up his beloved wife and asked her to have breakfast quickly and prepare to return to the village to worship ancestors.

Although the Xia family has moved out of the village one after another, their ancestral home is still there, so every year at this time, several families go back together to put up Spring Festival couplets, hang up lanterns, and clean the old house. Of course, each family goes to do one or two.

Just one person will do.

The Xia Yu family is used to having Comrade Xia and his son every year. One is the boy who is stronger, and the other is no matter how much the Xia Yu family values ​​Xia Yu, but in the eyes of the older generation, the boy is the backbone after all.

Xia Yu had no objection to this.

As soon as Comrade Xia and his son went out, Xia Yu and Meng Dong quickly started making dumplings. Ms. Yu Heng also made dumplings. After all, Meng Dong was here this year and the guests all helped make dumplings. As the host, it would be awkward for her not to make dumplings.

It’s just included... it’s better not to be included!

Meng Dong smiled secretly and helped Ms. Yu Heng to remedy the problem. Otherwise, with her skills, the dumplings would have turned into pieces of soup as soon as they were put into the pot.

The three of them had a meal of dumplings at noon. Xia Yi and his son came back in the afternoon and had lunch at the uncle's house.

Xia Yu's family didn't cook New Year's Eve dinner in the afternoon. After all, Xia Yu's grandparents were still here, so they naturally wanted to celebrate the New Year together.

When I was a kid, I always had to go back to my old house to have New Year’s Eve dinner. Xia Yu couldn’t remember when it started. One year, I suddenly stopped going back and started ordering New Year’s Eve dinner at restaurants in the county. Slowly, it became Xia Yu.

It's a matter of family agreement.

The Xia Yu siblings also lost the opportunity to set off fireworks and secretly bully their uncle's cousin.

Maybe it’s because I’ve grown up, but slowly, the New Year’s Eve dinner has become less and less convenient. When several families get together, they all have a quick meal, and then go back to their own homes to celebrate the New Year. In short, the New Year’s Eve dinner is becoming less and less popular.

It’s the flavor of the new year.
