Chapter 44
Fang Jia finished his work as the director of technical diving on the small island and did not go back. He went directly to the underwater engineering project after a day.The Chinese New Year is coming soon, everyone is anxious, and a lot of work is rushing forward.
Gu Yuan was also busy, he had to attend his usual classes, he was writing papers, doing research, and he had to go to other schools to give lectures. He started coughing within two days after he came back.Because they were underwater, the two of them seldom talked on the phone. When Fang Jia found out, Gu Yuan had already been ill for two days.
"Why didn't you mention it in WeChat?" Fang Jia asked, his voice was hoarse when he heard Gu Yuan's words, and he probably couldn't rest.
Gu Yuan laughed with a hoarse voice, felt uncomfortable again, and said in a low voice, "It's actually okay, but the throat sounds like it's very serious."
If the two of them are not together, Fang Jia can't fly back to see Gu Yuan at some time like Gu Yuan flew over to see him.If a project is not finished, it is impossible to decompress it alone, and it will take a few days to go back and forth.
Fang Jia said: "It sounds almost like me now, you two Donald Ducks."
Gu Yuan laughed when he heard it, and started coughing after laughing, stopped for a while and said, "When you say that, I feel that my voice sounds inexplicably nicer now."
"Don't be narcissistic, Mr. Gu." Fang Jia said, "See if you can find someone to take the class, and take a break for two days. Otherwise, the students will have fun listening to your voice, and they can understand what you are talking about?"
"Understood." Gu Yuan said.
Fang Jia still threatened with concern: "Teacher Gu, I have an undercover agent in your class, and I know whether you are in class or not."
"I didn't expect to be under your control one day." Gu Yuan smiled softly, "The housekeeper."
"You don't want to?" Fang Jia said, drawing out his voice, "It's late."
"It's late." Gu Yuan paused on purpose, his deep voice sounded hoarse, "It's too late to meet you again."
After all, the project ended at the end of the year, but Fang Jia and the others would leave later than others. He was still on Magnetic Drum Island on the night of New Year's Eve, so there was really no way to take a plane.
The end of school was a few days earlier than when Fang Jia and his project ended. Fang Jia didn't let Gu Yuan come. After all, on the [-]th day, Gu Yuan still had to accompany his parents.The two quarreled for two days, and finally agreed to Fang Jia.
In the afternoon of [-], Fang Jia sent a video to Gu Yuan, just to see where Gu Yuan was.When Gu Yuan saw Fang Jia's people, he wanted to put on a straight face, but he couldn't bear it, so he smiled and said:
"At home, I didn't look for you."
Fang Jia said: "I'll be back tomorrow afternoon, the new year has just begun, Brother Yuan."
"How did you spend the night?" Gu Yuan asked.
Fang Jia was lying on her balcony, looking at the quiet sea view outside the window and said, "Go to Zhao Hai's for dinner, there are dumplings and seafood stuffing."
"Do you want to pack it yourself?" Gu Yuan said, leaning back on the sofa, and behind him could vaguely see a delicately carved screen.
"No, neither of us know how to do it, so we bought it in the store next door." Fang Jia said, "In the past two years, there have been a lot of people traveling during the Chinese New Year, so many stores are not closed."
Especially in this kind of small island for vacation, the income during the vacation is naturally more than usual, so although they seem to be surrounded by a bustling area, the atmosphere of the year is not strong, after all, everyone is not idle .
Year after year, Fang Jia felt that the time was getting longer, but it seemed that he did not celebrate the New Year in a complete way.But this is also very good, on such a small holiday island, people will not feel so lonely.
Coupled with the fact that Gu Yuan was always by his side this year, Fang Jia felt more at ease than ever before.On the other side of the camera, Gu Cheng's figure appeared in Gu Yuan's camera. He greeted Fang Jia and asked, "When are you coming back?"
"Tomorrow." Fang Jia said, "If you are free, go to my place for dinner."
Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Yuan.Gu Yuan said: "What do you think I am doing, can I ask you? Are you free?"
"Who knows if you'd like me to go." Gu Cheng said in a low voice, looked at Fang Jia again, and said lightly, "Let's see when the time comes."
After saying a few words, Gu Cheng quickly left.Fang Jia thought of something else, he paused, and asked Gu Yuan: "You didn't tell your family, did you?"
"What are you talking about?" Gu Yuan saw Fang Jia's eyes through the screen with deep eyes, "We two?"
Fang Jia smiled: "Don't ask why you know it, I'm asking if you need to give your parents New Year's greetings."
This situation is quite embarrassing. Their marriage is completely done first.I don't know if Gu Yuan's parents would mind, and I don't know how to say it is more appropriate.
"Not yet." Gu Yuan said with a relaxed expression, joking with Fang Jia, "If you find out, you probably won't be able to relax. Relatives will have to go from the first day of the new year to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
"There are so many people in your family?" Fang Jia felt that he couldn't trust Gu Yuan's words too much. He was about to say something when he heard Gu Cheng's voice next to him, a little helpless in his exhaustion, "Really."
The whole family has to run around every festival, to give this New Year's greetings, and to give that New Year's greetings.The relationship between them is relatively close. If you don't go, you will be asked all the time.
Fang Jia couldn't help being happy: "Okay, you've worked hard, we'll talk tonight, and I'll hang up the lanterns. Old Zhao insisted on giving me two, thinking it would be a waste not to hang them up."
"Go." Gu Yuan said, waiting for Fang Jia to hang up the phone before locking the phone.
The old house is also very lively during the Chinese New Year. Spring Festival couplets, window grilles, lanterns, and colored lights are all available. Now it seems that the New Year flavor is very strong.Gu Yuan suddenly thought of the house that had just received the keys, and he was about to go out after taking the car keys.
"Where are you going?" Gu Cheng asked hurriedly as he was sitting by the side playing with his mobile phone.Although it's Chinese New Year, he doesn't need to do anything, it's quite boring.
Gu Yuan looked at Gu Cheng, paused and said, "Come with me, post the Spring Festival couplets on Fang Jia's rented house and the house we bought."
"The house you bought?" Gu Cheng was stunned, unable to understand what Gu Yuan was talking about.Gu Yuan didn't explain much to Gu Cheng, and directly brought him as a labor force.
The New Year's Eve dinner was early, Fang Jia was sitting in Zhao Hai's shop waiting to watch the Spring Festival Gala after eating, and messages began to come in continuously on the phone.
Fang Jia answered one by one, and soon a call came in. When he saw that it was Shen Xingyu, he answered the phone.
Shen Xingyu said: "This year, ah, no, when will you come back next year?"
"Tomorrow afternoon." Fang Jia said, "take a break for a few days, and then come to the island to help Lao Zhao look after the store."
Zhao Hai has passed the New Year, and the family has some matters to deal with, saying that it is about the division of land.Fang Jia didn't ask in detail, the key is that he doesn't understand these things.It was indeed an urgent matter, so Fang Jia had no choice but to help him visit the store, after all, the friendship of so many years is here.
"Then what do you plan to do when you come back?" Shen Xingyu said, "My mother is thinking about you. She asked you to come home and said that you haven't been here for the New Year for several years."
Fang Jia hesitated and said: "Let me see, if I go this year, I will probably bring someone there."
Shen Xingyu gave a clear "Oh", and couldn't help asking: "Are you all settled?"
"It's nothing." Fang Jia said, thinking of Gu Yuan but couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, "It feels good to be together."
"When are you going to have a wedding? I'll give you money." Shen Xingyu said, "I never thought that you would get out of the order before me, and you would do it right away."
Fang Jia hadn't thought about the wedding at all. He paused and said, "Forget about the money, we didn't think about it."
"That won't work. When you come to my house, I'll ask my mother to give you big red envelopes." Shen Xingyu said, and then changed the subject, "What are your plans for next year? It's all settled, and you're still floating outside?"
"Why do you just ask questions that I can't answer?" Fang Jia smiled and said, "I don't know about it in the future, and I haven't thought about it yet."
Even if he keeps thinking about it, it's useless, Gu Yuan also knows, so the two of them will not raise these questions, just take one step at a time and let nature take its course.
Gu Yuan's phone call came in, Fang Jia glanced at it, and said to Shen Xingyu: "Let's do this first, Happy New Year, the red envelopes I sent to my uncles and aunts, remember to accept them for them."
Fang Jia sent a video to Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan had already returned to his bedroom. The background could be seen that the decoration style was gray and white, which was quite simple. He turned on the computer and leaned closer to the screen and asked, "Who did you call just now?"
"Xingyu, let me go to his house for dinner during the Chinese New Year?" Fang Jia said, tapping the screen with his hand, "Shall we go together?"
"Where is it? When are you going? I'll arrange the time." Gu Yuan agreed very simply, but every New Year's day there are many things at home, so he has to make time for it.
Fang Jia said: "Not yet..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Hai came in from the outside with a look of excitement on his face: "This year's outside activities are going well. I just went to get my things and walked around there. I heard that there will be fireworks at zero o'clock."
"Let it go?" Fang Jia raised his head from the phone screen and asked, "Didn't you say it's forbidden?"
Zhao Hai originally wanted to buy it, but this year he is especially strict.One is that the environment here can reach the highest quality level, and the other is that with the increasing development of the island, there are many tourists pouring in, and the fireworks are not allowed for the sake of safety.
"Don't let me release it personally. This is specially organized by the person in charge of the island to dazzle Zero Point. It is considered an entertainment project." Zhao Hai said, looking at Fang Jia's hand that had been raised all the time, and asked, "Where's the video?"
Fang Jia turned the phone over, Gu Yuan was sitting opposite, wearing a dark sweater, smiled at Zhao Hai and said, "Happy New Year."
"Ah, Happy New Year." Zhao Hai said, "This year is a special situation. For the Chinese New Year, I will borrow Fang Jia from your house for a few days, and I will definitely let you go back next year."
"It's okay, I can just go there for a vacation." Gu Yuan said, "I might bring the whole family there next year."
Fang Jia turned the phone around again, and said to Gu Yuan: "It's almost done, it sounds like my guardian, I will call you Uncle Gu from now on?"
"
Others are one year older during Chinese New Year. " Gu Yuan laughed in a low voice, "Why are you one year younger? "
The two kept playing the video and watched the Spring Festival Gala together.In the middle, Gu Yuan went out for a meeting, probably to chat with his family members, and came back at 11:30.
Fang Jia was about to go out to watch the fireworks with Zhao Hai, Fang Jia put on a coat and said to Gu Yuan: "Let's go out for a stroll, will the video still be on?"
"Let's turn it on, I happen to be able to watch the fireworks too." Gu Yuan said, "It's good to be able to watch it without leaving home."
"Aren't you going to let it go?" Fang Jia asked, he remembered that Gu Yuan had told him that his old house was in the suburbs.
"No, I made a special notice." Gu Yuan said, "However, some secretly let it go, and want to watch it with you."
Zhao Hai quietly said next to him: "Obviously we came out together, why do you feel like a superfluous one?"
The place where the fireworks were set off was not close, so the two stopped after finding a good place to watch the fireworks.There are already many people around, obviously waiting for this time.
The location is very high, and ships driving on the sea can be seen in the distance, with neon lights on.There was a lot of noise from the side. Fang Jia put on the earphones, talked to Gu Yuan, and listened to him say, "It's almost midnight."
Fang Jia hurriedly raised the phone and switched the camera.The sky was approaching with gorgeous fireworks, followed by a few words: "Happy New Year!"
Gu Yuan's voice slowly fell into my ear: "Jiajia, happy new year, I hope I can spend it with you next year, and every year in the future."
