Chen Yao: "I know, I know. My flight is at 55:00 Beijing time and will arrive in Beijing at 3 pm."
Chen Yao: "Where is my sister?"
陈亚@陈伟: “Sister?”
Lin Wan'er: "I don't know what's going on with this girl Rongrong. It's been hard to contact anyone recently."
Chen Yao: "Sister, maybe she is busy."
Chen Rong: "I will be at the Capital Airport at ten o'clock tomorrow night."
Lin Wan'er sent a voice message, her voice somewhat complaining: "Why is it so late?"
After Lin Wan'er finished speaking, Chen Qingshan's voice came from afar: "It doesn't matter, I'm officially on vacation, and I'll be idle tomorrow. I'll go to the airport in person to pick up my baby Rongrong."
Lin Wan'er then sent another voice message, with unspeakable joy in her words: "Did you hear that? Rongrong, look how much your dad loves you."
Chen Rong: "Thank you dad for me."
The group became quiet. After about half a minute, Chen Rong asked again: "How many people are celebrating the New Year this year?"
Lin Wan'er: "How many more people are there? As usual, our family of four will have a reunion dinner first, then go to your aunt's house to see your grandma the next day, and on the second day of the new year to your uncle's house to see your grandma..."
Chen Rong said no more.
Lin Wan'er sent several more photos one after another, including the dumpling fillings prepared by Chen Qingyun, the chicken wings marinated by Chen Qingyun in advance, the red envelopes and New Year gifts prepared by Chen Qingyun for the two of them...
Red envelopes and New Year gifts are double...
Chen Enci suddenly chuckled and exited WeChat.
There was no reminder to board the plane. Chen Enci leaned back in his chair and stared at the night scene outside the window. The corners of his lips hidden behind the mask curled up again after a while.
…
Chen Rong, who was leaning on the bedside of the hotel and reading a book, saw Lin Wan'er constantly posting photos in the group. He felt upset for no reason. He couldn't help but click on Lin Wan'er's profile picture and quickly texted with his fingertips.
Message: "Mom, I'm in a meeting, could you please stop sending messages in the group?"
Lin Wan'er: "Don't you know how to block group messages?"
Lin Wan'er: "Besides, it's so late, what kind of meeting are you having?"
Lin Wan'er: "Also, my mother hasn't asked you yet, which drama you invested in, how come Chen Enci will play the heroine?"
Chen Rong was even more annoyed by the noise. She directly set Lin Yuer's WeChat message to do not disturb, then picked up the whiskey on the bedside table and drank half a glass of it in one breath.
With the help of alcohol, Chen Rong calmed down a little and picked up the phone again.
There are five people in the family group, and that person... has never spoken to him in all these years since he joined the group.
If she hadn't known that the person on WeChat had been using it, she would have thought it was just a small account abandoned by that person.
Abandoned?
Chen Rong suddenly smiled, who abandoned whom?
Think about it carefully, the Chen family abandoned that person, right?
When sending out group red envelopes during festivals, no matter who it is, they will habitually fill in the four numbers; when having a family dinner, calling a restaurant to reserve a seat, and asking a few people, no matter who they are, they will instinctively know how to fill it in; even during the Spring Festival, she
Suddenly I saw (5) behind the group members, thought of her, and then asked how many people were celebrating the Chinese New Year this year. Her mother replied without thinking, "a family of four..."
There are obviously five people in the crowd, but they always say four.
What's even more ridiculous is that no one seemed to think anything was wrong.
Chen Rong stared at Chen Enci's profile picture for a while, then clicked in.
...Will you go home to celebrate the New Year this year?
After typing these words, Chen Rong felt that he had done something unnecessary.
Is it important to ask her whether she will go home for the New Year?
Even after asking, what if she really goes home for the New Year?
It was as if someone would accompany her to celebrate the New Year when she was at home...
…
It was already two o'clock in the morning when Chen Enci got off the plane.
On New Year's Eve in a strange city, the trees on both sides of the street were hung with red lanterns and the Chinese characters for "Fu". Maybe it was because the New Year atmosphere in this second-tier city was too strong, or maybe it was because I accidentally saw "a family of four" in a family group.
", Chen Enci was sitting in the car, looking at the joyful scene outside the window, feeling a little disappointed for no reason.
She opened WeChat, and there was nothing to read except New Year greetings from people she didn't usually have contact with.
Clicking into the circle of friends, Lin Ran, who returned to Shanghai for the New Year, posted a photo with his mother; Lu Xing took a photo of a flight ticket to Phuket; Jiang Nuan posted "Arrived home safely"; He Qian was posting couplets...
As for Qin Jie... he is still very quiet.
I guess you, like other people in your circle of friends, are also busy spending the Spring Festival with your family, right?
Also, the Spring Festival only comes once a year, who doesn’t celebrate the New Year happily... Waiting for this afternoon, I’m afraid the New Year flavor in WeChat will be even stronger.
Chen Enci lowered her eyes and smiled. She turned off her phone and stuffed it into her bag. She thought to herself that from now on until New Year's Eve, she'd better play with her phone less, so as not to make herself feel uncomfortable when she sees everyone having a happy family reunion.

ps: I’m really stuck. This chapter only has 1,400 words. I didn’t sleep all night and stayed up until seven o’clock. I really could only hold in so many words, and I wasn’t very satisfied with holding them in. I’m going to rest first.
For a while, I will write 2,600 words for the next chapter in the afternoon, and make up for the promised 4,000 words. I will also think about how to write it. I do not rule out that the content of this chapter will be revised after I wake up. Please forgive me for special circumstances.
