Chapter 320 New Year’s Eve

February 13, 2010, New Year’s Eve.

This year's Spring Festival coincides with Valentine's Day in the West. When any Western festival meets an important traditional festival in China, basically not many people will remember it.

Tong Tong feels that he is undoubtedly happy at this time.

Because she was completely integrated into Xu Qingshan's family, she was able to stay with Xu Qingshan on the Spring Festival, which was also Valentine's Day.

Jiang Huanxi could only spend time with her family.

Of course, this does not mean that Tong Tong has forgotten his roots.

Xu Xuejun and Lin Yuehua are thoughtful people. Tong Tong’s younger brother and grandmother were also brought to the city from Yunzhang County before New Year’s Eve to celebrate the New Year together.

Anyway, there are enough guest rooms at home.

In front of the Xu family's small villa along the river, red lanterns are hung high, and a couplet banner is pasted on the lintel, with the words "good luck and good luck" stuck on both sides of the couplet.

You can smell the strong New Year scent of the Xu family without even entering the door.

This is the first Spring Festival that Xu Qingshan has spent at home after finishing high school.

Actually, if we really want to talk about it seriously, when I was studying, I went back to my hometown in Yunzhang every year for the Spring Festival, and the whole family was not happy.

Xu Xuejun likes to show off his face and has a dark face, completely lacking in the festive atmosphere. Lin Yuehua, on the other hand, is forced to smile, and you can tell at a glance how depressed she is.

As for Xu Qingshan's academic performance, he will definitely be put on the table for criticism every Spring Festival.

But that's different now.

Looking at Xu Xuejun’s smiling face, he sat in the living room and made tea for Lin Chenhua. While making tea, he talked happily about what he had learned in their unit. He also gossiped about finding a suitable partner for Lin Chenhua. Don’t always be single. hanging.

Lin Yuehua and her grandmother Lin Mi were busy in the kitchen. Tong Tong also took the initiative to help in the kitchen, making the sound of pots and pans.

Just Xu Qingshan sat boredly on the mahogany dining table covered with bright red satin, fiddling with the dried fruit snacks on the plate on the table with one hand, while replying to everyone's New Year greetings on his mobile phone.

The aroma of bacon and the saltiness of seafood are intertwined, going straight into Xu Qingshan's nose.

It's just that the winter in Longjiang is very cold. Although the temperature has started to cool down a few days ago, until New Year's Eve, when Xu Qingshan got up, he felt that it was suddenly a few degrees colder again.

While thinking, he suddenly sneezed.

Wiping his nose, he continued to reply to messages on his phone, looking at Jiang Huanxi's chat box from time to time.

【I saw Jiang Jingyi. 】

Suddenly, a message came from Jiang Huanxi. Xu Qingshan was wiping his nose with a tissue and was stunned when he saw it.

It seemed that I hadn't heard from Jiang Jingyi for a long time, and Xu Qingshan never paid attention to her again. It seemed that after that summer vacation, Jiang Jingyi disappeared like a lost dog on the roadside.

Especially since Xu Qingshan’s life in this life is more dazzling, he has no energy to pay attention to these trivial things.

If you really want to ask Xu Qingshan how he feels about Jiang Jingyi now.

Perhaps it is a passer-by whom I once knew.

【You may not know what she is doing now, no wonder we have never met her in the capital. 】

Xu Qingshan did not answer Jiang Huanxi's question, but Jiang Huanxi seemed to be chatting with Xu Qingshan about Jiang Jingyi with great interest. This little girl was a bit silly and cute.

【? 】

Xu Qingshan couldn't judge Jiang Huanxi's thoughts, so he could only reply with a question mark.

To show that he has no care or interest in Jiang Jingyi.

After all, who knows when and at what key points a woman will become jealous?

[Didn’t she go to Beijing Normal University? After she arrived at school, she applied to join the army after her military training. I didn't expect that she would choose to be a soldier. I also didn't expect that my aunt would agree to her joining the army. She has cut her hair short now, but she seems to be very happy. of. 】

Jiang Huanxi seemed to have a lot of emotions. Xu Qingshan did not reply with any text, but got up and walked out of the restaurant, and went to the garden to call Jiang Huanxi.

"Hello"

Jiang Huanxi's voice was not loud, there was some rustling sound, as if he was walking.

"Why did you call me suddenly? I was not prepared. I was shocked. My parents and uncle were in the living room. We are celebrating the New Year at uncle Ludao's house this year, but we are not in Longjiang."


It seems that because he hasn't seen Xu Qingshan for several days, Jiang Huanxi has a lot to say to Xu Qingshan.

This call just saved her the effort of tapping the screen.

"Everyone is busy, but I am free. I will call you to see what you are doing."

Xu Qingshan sat on the swing in the garden.

This swing came as a gift when I bought the villa. No one usually sits on it. Not only is it a little too cool to sit on, my pants are stained with a layer of dust.

"I didn't do anything, the adults were chatting anyway."

Jiang Huanxi muttered, seeming to remember what he was just talking about, and changed the subject again.

“Jiang Jingyi didn’t come back to celebrate the New Year this year. We just had a video chat with her as a family. They were two years of compulsory military service without family leave. I saw that she was a little darker and her skin was a little rough. It felt like she had eaten something. A lot of pain."

Jiang Huanxi rambled, Xu Qingshan listened to her quietly without making a sound.

“Then, she finally had a private chat with me.”

Jiang Huanxi said, Xu Qingshan understood, no wonder she suddenly said Jiang Jingyi.

"Did she say anything? Xiaoxi, don't think about it."

Xu Qingshan thought while coaxing Jiang Huanxi softly.

“I’m fine.”

Jiang Huanxi felt the concern in Xu Qingshan’s words.

"She knew that we were together, and she blessed us very seriously and sincerely. She said that she had actually considered joining the army for a long time, but she finally went. Fortunately, she did gain a lot and grew up a lot in the military camp. She gradually understood a lot of things, and she hopes that I can help her apologize to you."

After Jiang Huanxi finished speaking, he paused.

“I can feel that she doesn’t have any ill intentions, and she has become a lot more straightforward. But I am a little bit sad, and I feel that after not seeing each other for such a period of time, Jingyi seems to have become less like Jingyi. .”

Xu Qingshan smiled.

“Actually, there is nothing wrong with her, it’s just that everyone has their own choice. If she insists on wanting an answer, then it’s up to you to make the decision.”

"As for change, in fact people will change, especially at our age. Do you think my change was still small?"

"Yes. Qingshan, I miss you, I really want to go home tomorrow Ah, then I can go find you.”

"I miss you too. It's okay. Let's celebrate the New Year well with our family. After the New Year, won't we be together all the time? During the Chinese New Year last year, our school wasn't."

As he said that, Xu Qingshan and Jiang Huanxi spoke again We talked about the experiment in Longjiang during our senior year of high school.

They chatted happily on the phone.

And in the kitchen.

"Our little boy is really capable. He can cook this fish better than your grandma and I combined."

Lin Yuehua looked at the sweet and sour fish served by Tong Tong and praised it. Don't stop talking.

"No, I also learned from you, godmother."

Tong Tong quickly cleared the table in embarrassment.

"Qingshan has loved to eat this every time he celebrates holidays since he was little. From now on, when you are by his side, he will feel like he celebrates holidays every day."

The little old lady looked presentable with her hands behind her back. location commented. Tong Tong's cheeks became even more rosy. He didn't know whether he thought of something or was smoked by the oil in the kitchen.

"Okay, kid, let's go find Qingshan. Aren't you going to participate in some model competition in a few days? Go and talk to him more. That kid is so good now. If he doesn't teach you well, tell your godmother and she will ask him to go to the children's table at night."

Lin Yuehua snatched the spatula from Tong Tong's hand and helped her untie it. Apron, don't drag the little girl in the kitchen.

Now that we are all a family, a sensible godmother will know how to create space for solitude.

"Then shall I go there first?"

Tong Tong's long deer-like eyelashes fluttered. After leaving the kitchen, he began to look for Xu Qingshan in the room.

Knowing that she saw Xu Qingshan sitting on the swing in the garden, Xu Qingshan had ended the phone call with Jiang Huanxi and was sitting there looking up at the sky not knowing what he was thinking.

“Brother, why are you here?”

Tong Tong held a pack of pork jerky and a pack of dried mango in his hands. He walked over and stood next to the swing. He was about to sit down and swing with Xu Qingshan, but was stopped by Xu Qingshan.

"It's too dirty in here. I'll go find some paper towels or rags to wipe it."

"Then are your pants dirty?"

Tong Tong subconsciously said Asked, Xu Qingshan was speechless for a moment.

"It's okay. I'll wipe it for you later. You can secretly give me your pants at night and I'll wash them for you."

Tong Tong's face was still flushed, and he said without hesitation.

"That's not necessary, there seems to be a rag over there."

Xu Qingshan looked at it with keen eyes, and was about to stand up, but was held down by Tong Tong with his backhand.

"Why don't you use it? When your godmother tells you that your pants are dirty, I don't need to wipe them. That rag is not clean. I can just sit like this."

Tong Tong's mouth curled up Bend, smiled slyly, gently pushed Xu Qingshan's shoulders, tilted his body to one side, and sat directly into Xu Qingshan's arms.

"Wouldn't it make it dirty?"

Tong Tong squeezed in, then put his arms around Xu Qingshan's neck, his face was very close, and his face that originally looked colder to ordinary people was now Being so close to Xu Qingshan, he looked particularly charming.

Where did this little girl learn it, or does she know it naturally?

It seems it’s time to check the little girl’s mobile phone to see what she is reading now.

“You are really not afraid of them coming out of the house.”

As Xu Qingshan said this, he gently held Tong Tong's slender waist with his hands. Although it was winter and Tong Tong was wearing quite thick clothes, the elastic feel still penetrated through the layers of clothing. The cloth was passed into his hands.

Tong Tong felt the big hand on his waist, and his expression was happy. The hand around Xu Qingshan's neck and on his shoulder tightened a little, and he approached Xu Qingshan with a blurred look in his eyes. He murmured softly.

"I'm not afraid."

The voice was very soft, but it sounded extraordinarily firm.

"Then I'm really afraid of you."

Xu Qingshan helplessly reached out and pressed Tong Tong's forehead to prevent her from getting any closer.

"Sit down for a while, and don't forget the agreement that brother made with you in Yandong Garden."

"Humph."

Tong Tong pursed his lips, not saying Happy, but still obediently turned his face to Xu Qingshan's neck and moved unwillingly.

Alas.

Xu Qingshan sighed secretly in his heart.

Now I am actually just deceiving myself. With the degree of close contact between the two of them now, who would think it is a normal contact?

It’s just not suitable now.

This is not good for all three of us.

Sitting in the garden courtyard and slowly swinging on the swing, people embracing each other can feel each other's body temperature in the moist and cold air.

The sky gradually darkened, as if it had been blackened with smoke.

The lights of the villa looked brighter and more festive in the darkness. Following the shouts of the elders in the house, Xu Qingshan and the others got up from the swing and went inside to have the New Year's Eve dinner.

The New Year’s Eve dinner in southern Fujian lasts for a long time.

The table was set up at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and we could eat until twelve o'clock. After listening to the Spring Festival Gala, it was an unforgettable night.

During the Spring Festival of 2010, generally speaking, there was not that much entertainment and short videos to watch. Most families still stayed in front of the TV, watching Central Television and six familiar hosts. people.

At this time, the new flowers have not been replaced yet.

Xu Qingshan was eating the sweet and sour fish that Tong Tong gave him while watching the familiar faces on the TV.

At this time, Zhu Jun had not yet been involved in the Xianzi false accusation case that later shocked the whole country. His face with the Chinese character still looked so high-spirited, and Dong Qing had not faded out of the main stage, and his figure was still as elegant.

Faye Wong sang "Legend", the nearly 40-year-old Little Tigers reunited, Zhao Benshan and Xiao Shenyang still performed in the Spring Festival Gala skit together

Xu Qingshan tried to recall his past life at this time, Are you also watching this kind of Spring Festival Gala, but you are a little surprised to find that you don't seem to have any memories related to this year's Spring Festival. It's like an endless whirlpool, making people sink into darkness.

"Brother, please take me to set off fireworks."

While everyone was watching TV around the fire, Tong Tong suddenly poked Xu Qingshan lightly and said in a low voice.

She carefully glanced at her brother sitting on the other side, fearing that this ignorant little kid would disturb her date with Xu Qingshan.

"Set off fireworks?"

Xu Qingshan came back to his senses and looked at the cute little face in front of him. His heart, which was a little cold when he recalled the past, became warm again.

"Fireworks should be banned here in Longjiang, right?"

"No, I saw that in the afternoon, the house next to me was setting off fireworks."

Tong Tong blinked. .

"Then are you buying fireworks? It may not be easy to buy them when going out now, I guess they are celebrating the New Year at home."

Xu Qingshan asked with a smile.

"I've bought it! I bought a lot with the money I saved before."

Tong Tong quietly held Xu Qingshan's hand under the dining table.

"Okay, let's go."

A moment later.

Xu Qingshan looked at the things Tong Tong placed on the ground and said in shock.

"You call these fireworks?"

"Yes, they can keep spraying after you light them."

Tong Tong smiled proudly, as if he was showing off some beloved toy.

“This is called fireworks, right? I thought you wanted me to put them in the sky and explode.”

“Aren’t small fireworks fireworks? No, there are more over there. There is a fairy wand, we can take it slow.”

"Okay, okay."

Xu Qingshan rubbed Tong Tong's little head lovingly.

Let’s make a transition and start pushing the plot during the Chinese New Year
