Chapter 39
The winter vacation of high schools in T city is very short, only more than 20 days, and the third year of senior high school is even more difficult. They have to make up classes and make up classes, and they only have seven days off if they are fully paid.
It's a holiday, and She Jian didn't touch books after finishing his winter homework. Originally, he wanted to study hard, but Zheng Aiqing said that the winter vacation only lasted for a few days, and after a new year, a string of relatives would pass away , You can relax properly without studying.
This is exactly what She Jian wanted. It seems that in the eyes of northerners, big things can be suppressed with the phrase "big Chinese New Year".
She Jian's family didn't have any relatives to leave. After all, they were all busy people. Even children took advantage of this winter vacation to enroll in etiquette classes for various winter camps and interest classes.
In recent years, it has become less and less old-fashioned, and the She family is especially deserted. In the past, when Mr. She was still in good health, he would force the whole family to have a New Year's Eve dinner together, but now, Mr. She couldn't leave the hospital anymore.
She Jian's grandmother passed away before She Jian was born, but from the photos, She Jian can know that the grandmother he has never met must be a gentle, intelligent and elegant woman.
On New Year's Eve, She Jian went to the hospital early in the morning. The She family was quite a big family, but the old and the young looked like empty nesters and left-behind children.
At the end of the day, the younger generations of the She family came to show their faces one after another. In fact, no matter how busy they were at work, these people would come to visit Mr. She, but they only sat for ten minutes and left, bringing The tonic gift box is very precious.
When she was a child, She Jian thought that grandpa would be very sad if their adults were like this, but no.Mr. She said that he has long been used to it, because when he was young, he saw his grandparents come here as well.
As the saying goes, the most ruthless emperor's family, but in fact, in modern times, due to the troubles of various work and study, the relationship between people has long been very indifferent.
The same is true of She Jian's grandfather's family, but the two old people are in good health and have a good mentality. After traveling around the world and seeing all kinds of scenery, they will no longer be lost in the indifference of family affection up.
As usual, She Jian sent New Year greetings to the elders early in the morning. A few days ago, She Jian received a postcard from the elders in Guadalajara, the second largest city in Mexico.
The sky there is very blue, the trees are very green, and the buildings are beautiful. Looking at the postcard, She Jian thought that if he had a chance in the future, he would go and see it with his children, and take a walk hand in hand.
Jin Chuanpeng sent someone to deliver the New Year's Eve dinner. It was all home-cooked food. The chefs in his hotel were very skilled. At least Mr. She said it had the taste of his childhood.
The dumplings were made by She Jian and Mr. She together. They didn't wait for midnight, they made the dumplings early and cooked them. They ate them with the New Year's Eve dishes, and they didn't wait until 08:30 after the meal.
The grandpa and grandson watched the Spring Festival Gala together. Halfway through, She Jian supervised that Mr. She drank the medicine. On the TV, Dong Qing and Zhu Jun were chatting and making peace. When Mr. She finished drinking the medicine, they also reported for the next program. skit.
It was quite funny, She Jian laughed heartily when she saw it, Mr. She was also overjoyed, just as he was enjoying himself, a blush suddenly appeared in front of She Jian, upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a big red envelope.
The smile on Mr. She's face did not fade, "I have waited for a whole day and I still haven't waited for your New Year's greetings. Did you see the red envelope? Come, let's give Grandpa a New Year's greetings."
At around ten o'clock in the evening, Mr. She became very sleepy. Firstly, the elderly are not particularly energetic. Secondly, the medicine that Mr. She drank also contained a lot of sleep-promoting ingredients.
After tucking in the quilt for Mr. She, and calling for a nurse to take care of him, She Jian left.
At this time, the country has not prohibited setting off fireworks and firecrackers. The moment She Jian stepped out of the hospital gate, there was a bang, and a few fireworks exploded in the sky not far away.
There were also a few residential buildings not far away, from which came the inconspicuous sound of crackling firecrackers, and She Jian slowly pushed the motorcycle, the wheels brushing over the residue left by the firecrackers on the ground from time to time.
She Jian sniffed, feeling a little bored.
New Year's Eve, the most important festival for Chinese people, seems to have just passed away.
The phone vibrated, and when it was unlocked, it was a WeChat message from She Hang and Zhou Ruiqing that they couldn't go home for the New Year, as well as two large transfer red envelopes.
She Jian didn't reply to the message, and directly accepted the transfer, then closed the chat box, and sent a group message of New Year's greetings to relatives on WeChat.
The phone was vibrating one after another, and the amount of money transfer red envelopes sent by those elders was also considerable, and She Jian accepted them one by one.
Joke, money is a good thing, don't waste it.
While pushing the motorcycle, She Jian kept collecting the red envelopes with his hands until he found a small red dot with a 2 written on it.
Zheng Aiqing is She Jian's top WeChat account.
First message:
[Do you want to come to my house for New Year's Eve dinner? 】
Second message:
【Transferforyou¥500.00】
It's obviously all money transfer messages, but She Jian just thinks the ones sent by his children are especially cute.
She Jian never knew what it means to be polite, so she just replied with [yes].
He thought that Zheng Aiqing was also a "left-behind child". After all, their family situations were similar, and they were both poor children who lacked the company of their parents.
Putting on the helmet, She Jian grinned, got on the motorcycle and left, and came to Zheng Aiqing's house with ease, but the person who opened the door was Zheng Jingzhou.
She Jian... She Jian was a little confused.
Zheng Jingzhou let She Jian in with a smile on his face, and closed the door. He was still wearing an apron, "I've brought you the slippers, and there are snacks on the table. Eat when you're hungry. The TV is CCTV. If you don't like watching it, you can just play it. You're welcome."
Then Zheng Jingzhou motioned for She Jian to sit on the sofa, "Hey, son, She Jian is here, hurry up and wash your hands and come to accompany me!"
She Jian, who came to the door with two empty paws, was restless, afraid that she would leave the image of "eating rice" to the future father-in-law.
When Zheng Aiqing came out shaking her hands, she saw She Jian on the sofa twisting back and forth like a maggot, "Do you have a sharp point on your butt?"
Zheng Jingzhou had already left by this time.
She Jian was a little anxious, "You didn't tell me that Uncle She is also at home."
Zheng Aiqing sat with her legs crossed, tore a bag of potato chips, and chewed, "Look at what you said, my parents are here, it's Chinese New Year, where can they be when they're not at home? Hmm... eat what?"
She Jian shook her head, stood up, "How about I go down and buy something."
"You can pull it, sit down quickly." Zheng Aiqing pulled She Jian back, "I don't know how many people from Bo'er came to my house to give gifts this day. I'm missing something from you."
"My mother is really good at predicting things. She was afraid that you would be uncomfortable. After knowing that you were coming, they hid in the kitchen to make dumplings." Zheng Aiqing ran to unpack the box of yogurt, and threw a box to She Jian, "Just Treat yourself like your own home, my dad said, I want you to feel the warmth of home."
She Jian caught the yoghurt, feeling that today's children are quite happy. After thinking about it, She Jian took out a red envelope and handed it to Zheng Aiqing, "Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai."
The money was just withdrawn from the ATM machine on the way She Jianlai came. It was not much, and it was 500 yuan.
"You are the one who gave the red envelope, why did you say everything about me, the recipient of the red envelope?" Zheng Aiqing put the red envelope into her pocket, "Hey, why don't you accept my transfer?"
As if just remembering it, She Jian took out her phone, clicked to claim it, then took a screenshot, and sent another Moments:
[Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai, bring the red envelope (picture)]
Zheng Aiqing gave her second praise, "If I knew it earlier, I would have posted more. 500 yuan is sent to Moments for 13. It doesn't seem to be in line with your status as a wealthy N generation."
"By the way, why is the full name in the note you gave me?" Zheng Aiqing felt it was unfair, "The full name is too unfamiliar, and the note I gave you is my younger brother, you are going to change mine, just note [Brother Qing]! "
At eleven o'clock, the four of them sat around the round table and ate the New Year's Eve dinner together. During this period, Zheng Jingzhou and Cai Wen respectively answered a lot of New Year's call calls.Zheng Aiqing also received a Wechat video from Qi Xiao. It was a great honor that She Jian also entered the camera. One was a junior high school friend, and the other was a high school tablemate and younger brother. Zheng Aiqing felt that the two should get to know each other.
Compared to She Jian's mild hostility, Qi Xiao was much more generous. They chatted for a few words, then hung up the video and continued eating. During the video, She Jian took a closer look and felt that the child's bamboo horse seemed to be nothing to the child. Unreasonable thoughts, my heart finally let go of more than half.
There is no way, the children are too good, She Jian thinks that everyone should like children.
Well, those who don't like their own children are idiots.
At midnight, the four of them ate dumplings together. Originally, She Jian ate an extra meal at eight o'clock, but it had been more than three hours, and it happened to be digested by now.
The living room of Zheng Aiqing's house has a good view, and the large and gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky can be seen clearly from the dining table.
Both of them put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked up at the sky by the window.
Hearing the loud sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside, She Jian suddenly approached Zheng Aiqing's ear, as if she suddenly remembered, "Little friend, I also have eight pack abs!"
Caught off guard, Zheng Aiqing was shaken by the itching coming from her ears, and her ears felt hot. After that, he heard the content of She Jian's words, "What did you say? Eight-pack abs?"
She Jian's eyes sparkled, and she leaned over to say something.
Zheng Aiqing put her hand against his chest, with a look of disgust on her face, "Stay away, you have bad breath, just say so."
She Jian with bad breath: "...!"
— Actually not.
Looking at She Jian who was stiff and with a broken expression, Zheng Aiqing was a little awkward, his ears were his sensitive point, and it would be the same for anyone who got close to her, "You just said you have eight-pack abs?"
"Yeah." She gradually recovered, "Little friend, let's go for a winter swim and show you my abs."
Winter swimming...
"The hospital came to rescue patients, I have to go." Cai Wen hurriedly put on her clothes, and told the two children standing in front of the French windows, "Qingqing, She Jian, you two have fun."
Then she asked Zheng Jingzhou who was coming out with a fruit salad, "Where are your car keys? My car has a limited number today."
Zheng Jingzhou hurriedly took out the car keys from his pocket and threw them to Cai Wen, "Be careful on the road."
Looking at Cai Wen who left in a hurry, She Jian finally understood why neither of the two touched wine at the table just now, but only took a few sips of drinks.
——Because you have to stay awake at all times, be on call at any time, and go to work immediately.
After Cai Wen left, Zheng Jingzhou turned around and greeted the two of them, "Come on, let's eat some fruit. There are fireworks and cannons at home. When I bought it, the seller gave me some fairy sticks as gifts. Do you want to go downstairs to release the fruit after eating?"
Zheng Aiqing nodded, "But... just forget about the fairy stick."
Zheng Jingzhou raised his eyebrows and told them to be careful.
After eating the fruit, Zheng Aiqing and She Jian took a few sky monkeys, fireworks and a set of firecrackers.
When going out, She Jianleng might as well have Zheng Jingzhou stuff a few fairy sticks into his arms, but because the other party was too strong, he even broke one of the fairy sticks.
Zheng Jingzhou patted Zheng Aiqing on the shoulder, "Be careful and have fun." Then he closed the door with a bang.
"Chinese New Year...why are there only three of you at home?"
While waiting for the elevator, She Jian still couldn't hold back and asked.
"The situation is similar to yours. Others are very busy, but most of my relatives are abroad. If they are busy, they are also busy abroad." Zheng Aiqing took out a fairy wand and fiddled, "My grandmother and grandfather passed away a few years ago. Now, my grandfather is recuperating abroad, and my grandmother flew to Mexico a few months ago to take care of my aunt who is about to give birth, and that's about it."
"It's rare this year that both my parents accompany me to have the New Year's Eve dinner."
The elevator door opened, and Zheng Aiqing walked in first, and pressed the button on the first floor, "Tsk, I heard from my dad, if it wasn't because my family was in City B before, we should have been dependent on each other during the holidays."
She Jian didn't say anything, but just patted Zheng Aiqing's head. Zheng Aiqing didn't say anything, but kicked She Jian hard after being patted on the head.
Dependent, this is a very lonely word.
In fact, She Jian and Zheng Aiqing were really lonely since childhood, especially Zheng Aiqing.
But fortunately, now that the two lonely people are together, they are not so lonely after all.
"To be honest, God should let us get to know each other sooner."
When stepping out of the elevator, Zheng Aiqing said so.
[The author has something to say]: Dependence is also a two-person world in disguise~
