On New Year's Eve, everyone always receives more text messages and phone calls than usual.
Unless you don't have a cell phone.
To the east of the city is the Yuan Family Courtyard.
Yuan Shuiqing, grandpa, grandma, aunt, uncle, and Han Li were sitting in the living room in different postures, watching this year's Spring Festival Gala.
The grandparents watched the show most attentively, while the others responded to text messages from relatives and friends from time to time, or walked quickly to the side to answer the phone, taking the time to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Han Li, who has an outgoing personality, is especially busy, answering phone calls one after another and replying to text messages one after another.
In contrast, Yuan Shuiqing, who is much prettier than her, is relatively leisurely. Her cell phone only rings occasionally, mainly because Sun Quan sends her messages.
"What are you doing?"
"Watch the Spring Festival Gala with Grandpa and the others."
"Are you bored?"
"Kind of. What about you? What are you doing?"
"I'm chatting with you! Didn't you notice?"
"Haha" Yuan Shuiqing replied with these two words with a smile on his lips.
…
Ten minutes later, while chatting, Sun Quan suddenly asked in the message: "By the way, today is New Year's Eve, and fireworks should be set off. Have your family prepared any fireworks today?"
"No, are you ready?"
"Did anyone set off fireworks specifically for you on New Year's Eve in previous years?"
Looking at this question, Yuan Shuiqing's eyes flashed with a touch of sadness, and he replied: "Yes, my father used to show it to me every year."
After a while, Sun Quan asked again: "By the way, if I set off fireworks at the entrance of your community, can you see them at home?"
Yuan Shuiqing had already guessed what he wanted to do, so the smile on her lips became a little thicker, "Okay! Do you want to come and let him go?"
Sun Quan: "Wait! I'll text you when it's released."
Yuan Shuiqing: "Okay!"
For a long time, her phone fell into silence. Sun Quan didn't send her any more text messages, and she was not in a hurry. She watched the Spring Festival Gala with her grandparents and waited patiently, with a faint smile on her lips.
meaning.
After forty or fifty minutes of this, her cell phone finally rang again.
I clicked it and saw that it was indeed from Sun Quan.
"China Mobile reminds you! A handsome guy is heading to you with fireworks. He is expected to arrive at the battlefield in about 10 minutes. Please keep your eyes open, Ms. Yuan, and prepare to enjoy tonight's fireworks show!"
"Drama queen!"
Yuan Shuiqing whispered with a smile on his face.
"What?"
Han Li, who was leaning on her shoulder and texting with her classmates, turned to ask.
"Nothing! I want to eat spicy strips again, I'll go out and buy a pack!"
With that said, Yuan Shuiqing pushed Han Li's head away and stood up to go out.
"Ah? Can you still buy spicy strips during the Chinese New Year? The convenience store outside should be closed, right?" Han Li blinked, expressing doubt.
Yuan Shuiqing's grandparents, aunt, and uncle all looked over after hearing this.
My aunt agreed: "Yes, Qingqing, today is New Year's Eve, so all the shops should be closed."
Grandma also said: "How about forgetting it today? Can grandma get you something else to eat?"
Yuan Shuiqing didn't stop walking. He walked to the door and put on a white cashmere coat and a bright red scarf. While changing his shoes, he said: "It's okay! When I went shopping last time, I asked the boss, and the boss said he was celebrating New Year's Day.
Open thirty nights.”
Han Li blinked, then suddenly stood up and ran over, "Sister! Wait! I'll go too, I'll go too! Wait for me!"
As for Yuan Shuiqing's grandparents and others, they looked at each other but didn't offer any further advice.
After Yuan Shuiqing and Han Li both went out, Yuan Shuiqing's aunt suddenly asked: "Mom! Qingqing still can't taste anything when she eats?"
Grandpa sighed.
Grandma also sighed and said: "Yes! But when Qingqing first came back, I asked her, and she said that it is a little better now, but usually she still eats strong food to feel good."
"well!"
Aunt Yuan Shuiqing shook her head and sighed.
…
"Why are you coming out with me? It's so cold outside!"
Outside the house, Yuan Shuiqing opened the door of the small courtyard and talked about Han Li with a helpless expression.
She didn't expect Han Li to follow her.
Han Li giggled, "I want to eat spicy strips too! I also want to eat potato chips and spicy dried fish, so I'm coming with you! Who asked you to lure out my greedy mind? Hehe."
Yuan Shuiqing rolled her eyes slightly.
It's not easy to force Han Li back.
Then let’s do it together!
Anyway, Han Li already knew that she and Sun Quan were in love.
What surprised Yuan Shuiqing was that there was actually a small supermarket open outside the community tonight, so they went in to buy spicy strips, potato chips and spicy dried fish.
It saves her the trouble of making excuses to explain why the spicy strip shop is closed tonight.
After shopping, the two of them walked back.
She ate while walking, but compared to when she came here, Yuan Shuiqing's pace was much slower. If the moonwalk hadn't been too suspicious, she might have had the effect of the moonwalk.
Then Han Li was surprised, "Sister! Please walk faster! It's so cold outside, we will freeze into sculptures if we walk home like this!"
"What's wrong with me just wanting to walk slower? If you're cold, go back first!"
Yuan Shuiqing simply stopped.
Han Li frowned, "Sister..."
As soon as she spoke, the phone in Yuan Shuiqing's hand rang. Then she saw Yuan Shuiqing lower his head and click on the phone, read some text message, and when he raised his head again, she actually said to her: "Well, this spicy strip tastes good."
It’s pretty good. I’ll buy a few more packs, but you can go back first!”
With that said, Yuan Shuiqing waved to Han Li and really turned around and went back.
Han Li frowned and stood staring at her back with a somewhat suspicious look in her eyes.
He muttered softly: "Something's wrong! It's not normal! Come and have a look..."
After muttering, Han Li followed quietly, looking sneaky.
…
Outside the gate of the community.
Sun Quan received a reply from Yuan Shuiqing: "You start! I'm ready. I can see the fireworks in the direction of the gate."
With a chuckle, Sun Quan placed a bunch of fireworks at his feet in the open space at the entrance of the community. These fireworks were all brought here by taxi.
Today is New Year's Eve, and it's hard to buy many things, but fireworks are an exception.
There was an old man in the guard room of the community next to him. When he saw this scene, he didn't come to stop him. Instead, he walked out of the guard room with a smile and waited for Sun Quan to light the fire.
During the Chinese New Year, fireworks are not allowed in such a small county.
After setting up all the fireworks, Sun Quan lit a cigarette and took out his mobile phone to send a message to Yuan Shuiqing: "Ten seconds countdown, the fireworks show is about to begin!"
When the message was sent, he would curl up a finger every second, and ten seconds later, he would light the fuse of the first firework with a cigarette butt.
The sound of the fuse burning was heard, and a few seconds later, the first firework shot up into the air and suddenly exploded into colorful fireworks.
In the darkness inside the gate of the community, Yuan Shuiqing saw all this scene. When the first firework exploded in the night sky, she looked up and watched. Fireworks shot up into the air and exploded one after another on the night sky.
Beautiful fireworks of different colors were set off. The explosion of these fireworks made the nearby night a little lighter. Yuan Shuiqing was also reflected in the darkness by the bright light of the fireworks. The colorful fireworks blooming were reflected in her eyes, and
Illuminating her incomparably beautiful face.
Han Li, who followed quietly not far away, looked slightly dazed with envy in her eyes.
If someone could get close to her at this time, they might be able to hear her murmuring to herself: "Xiao Quanzi, this stick, is so romantic..."
