Although there were some twists and turns at the beginning, the rest of the holiday was still very peaceful. Chu Ling could finally surf the Internet quietly, and occasionally went out to play with sisters Xie Yuwen and Zhu Kui and Sun Ling who had officially established a relationship. The rest
Stay at home and rest as always.
With the passage of time, the whole country finally ushered in the joyful Spring Festival.
The streets were decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere, and it was very lively. Every household had brand-new blessing characters posted on them, some upright, some upside down, each with its own merit. People dressed in festive costumes walked towards shopping malls of various sizes with smiles on their faces, and some went shopping.
, some play. Everywhere is full of warm, peaceful, prosperous and festive festive atmosphere.
After cleaning up, Chu Ling went to the kitchen to help Chu Tian prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.
Seeing that some of the meat slices he cut were as thick as pieces of meat, and some were as thin as cicada wings, Chu Tian couldn't help but sneered: "What's going on? You went out to learn for the first half of the year, and you can't even cut vegetables?"
"You care about me so much. I will polish it later. I just haven't found the right touch now." Chu Ling said with a bit of confusion on her face.
At the same time, he is also a little troubled. His over-strengthened physical ability means that he is still unable to control his strength finely. He is also cautious when cutting vegetables, for fear that he will cut the cutting board into two pieces with too much force and scare his father.
alright.
"You're like this, and you still want to cook for me?" Chu Tian glanced at his son, his sarcasm palpable.
Chu Ling had said before that he wanted to stir-fry meat to let his father see the difference. But then he was away from home most of the time to eat, or he was at home and Chu Tian couldn't go home because of work, so he decided to eat on New Year's Eve.
The night of the showdown.
"You'll know when you eat it. It doesn't matter what the process is." Chu Ling took a deep breath and focused on the piece of meat again.
Although the cut of the meat is really ugly so far, he has slowly been able to control his strength and will get better and better in the future.
"Speaking of which, where is that little girl Yuwen? Why isn't she here yet?" Chu Tian asked suddenly while cooking.
"Ah? Oh, her sister is here to see her. Maybe she won't come tonight." Chu Ling dropped the knife faster and faster, and the slices of meat she cut were neither too thin nor too thick.
Since he had no other relatives, he always had family reunion dinners with his father. Later, because he lived alone, Xie Yuwen would come to their house to have dinner every Chinese New Year. I don’t know when it happened, but gradually
It has become a habit.
Chu Tian turned around in surprise: "Really? Does she have brothers and sisters?"
Chu Ling was about to answer when the doorbell rang.
He puts down the dishes
Dao, hurriedly ran over and opened the door.
Outside the door, Xie Yuwen saw Chu Ling and smiled and said, "Excuse me."
Chu Ling stared blankly at Xie Yuwen and Ziyuan standing outside and said, "You don't have to go back for a reunion?"
He now knows that the other party has a mother, but there were some reasons why he couldn't meet her before.
"We don't have this festival over there, so I have no choice but to harass you this year." Xie Yuwen stuck out her tongue, looking weird.
"You won't welcome me, right? Brother Chu Ling." Zi Yuan, who was standing by, covered her mouth and smiled.
Chu Ling scratched her head in embarrassment, turned sideways and said, "Why, please come in, please come in, come in first."
After something like that happened, Chu Ling was still embarrassed to face Ziyuan. In the final analysis, she was too thin-skinned. Chu Ling sighed.
After Chu Ling's introduction, Chu Tian also warmly entertained her. It was rare that the house was so lively, and Chu Ling felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
The four of them sat around the dining table, watching the gala, and evaluating who of Chu Ling and his son's stir-fried pork was more delicious. With two more judges, the result was naturally more fair.
In the end, everyone unanimously agreed that Chu Ling's fried pork was more delicious. Even Chu Tian had to admit that his dish was indeed inferior after tasting it.
Everyone just chatted while eating, pointing out which skit was funny and which magic trick failed again. Before we knew it, it was already close to 12 o'clock in the evening.
Chu Ling took a bunch of firecrackers to the roof and started to spread them out. Xie Yuwen stood behind him and asked, "Why don't you set them off downstairs?"
"Many people are setting off firecrackers downstairs, but relatively fewer people are setting them off on the roof. You will know why later." Chu Ling laid out the firecrackers, turned around and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, you still have to do this.
Come out and shoot firecrackers with me for the first time."
Xie Yuwen pouted and said unhappily: "I think that crackling sound is very annoying. I don't know why you put this thing out every year."
Is there any place in China where the Spring Festival is not celebrated? It seems that there is. Chu Ling didn't bother to dig into it, squatted down and said to her: "Stand further away and cover your ears."
"Crack! Crack!"
Xie Yuwen covered her ears and couldn't help laughing as she watched Chu Ling finish lighting the fire, hunch her head, and run to her in a slightly embarrassed manner.
Correspondingly, the noisy sound of firecrackers in her opinion became much more pleasant. She suddenly understood why these people set off this noisy thing every year. Maybe her current mood was the same as theirs.
Same.
The firecrackers went off very quickly and it was over after a while.
Chu Ling took a long breath. Seeing this, Xie Yuwen carefully
Asked: "Is this considered finished?"
"Yeah. But the show isn't over yet." Chu Ling pulled Xie Yuwen to sit on the prepared chair.
"What are we sitting here for?" Before Xie Yuwen could finish her words, the sky suddenly lit up, and then there was a loud noise.
She turned her head to look, and was stunned for a moment. She saw colorful fireworks blooming in the air in front of her, in various shapes, some like silver snakes dancing wildly, some like peacocks in full bloom, and some like blooming flowers.
"How about it? Every time there is a festival, people around here will set off fireworks to celebrate. This is a special seat. It's a pity that you didn't come with me to watch it before."
Xie Yuwen turned her head and looked at Chu Ling's side face that flickered under the fireworks, and a warm current suddenly surged in her heart.
"So you live alone?"
"Do you have any opinion?"
"Where are your parents?"
"Who am I to tell you?"
"...Want to come to my house for the reunion dinner?"
"What?"
"I said come to my house for a family reunion dinner... After all, celebrating the New Year alone is quite boring."
She laughed suddenly, and Chu Ling turned her head and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? Yuwen, doesn't she look good?"
"No, it's very beautiful." Xie Yuwen looked at the fireworks that were blooming in the sky. After a long time, she said, "Actually, my real name is not Xie Yuwen."
"Huh?" Chu Ling asked curiously, "What about your real name?"
"Ziwen." Xie Yuwen looked at Chu Ling, the light in her eyes even eclipsed the fireworks shining in the sky. She repeated again, "My real name is Ziwen."
To her surprise, Chu Ling was not as shocked as last time, but said calmly: "So that's it, I thought Sister Ziyuan was your cousin."
"She is my biological sister."
Chu Ling stared at her funny and said teasingly: "Then what should I call you in the future? Ziwen? Or Xie Yuwen?"
Xie Yuwen stood in front of Chu Ling, looked at him from above, and said seriously: "I told you my real name just because I don't want to hide it from you anymore. What I hope you understand is that no matter what my name is, I will always be the Xie Yuwen you know.
.”
Fireworks exploded in the silent night sky, blooming into colorful beauty, gracefully unfolding her smiling faces of light yellow, silvery white, washed green, lavender, clear blue and pink, which were so beautiful. The petals were like rain, falling one after another, like tentacles.
Reachable.
But Chu Ling couldn't see anything. In his eyes, there were only those "fireworks" that could light up the entire night sky.
