The name of Pei Zhaoyang flickered on the screen, and Xin Ruan stared blankly for a while. Finally, the deep and powerful face with a deep outline popped out of his mind, completely driving Xu Liufang's gentle and gentle face out of his mind.
She took a deep breath, tried to calm her emotions, and then answered the phone with a low "hello".
What are you doing? "Pei Zhaoyang's steady voice came from the receiver, followed by the sound of firecrackers one after another.
Ji'an City has lifted the ban on firecrackers this year, indicating a high level of enthusiasm among the public.
I'm eating
Is our hometown lively? Have we set off firecrackers yet? Be careful not to lose your hand. "Pei Zhaoyang tried to restrain his speaking pace and hadn't seen each other for three days. He really wanted to see Xin Ruan, but before that, he had to chat for a while to avoid appearing too eager.
Not released
Pei Zhaoyang sensitively sensed something and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy
No
Obviously, Xin Ruan is lying.
Pei Zhaoyang said in a deep voice, "Xin Ruan, don't lie to me. If you don't tell me the truth, I'll drive to your place now to pick you up and take you back to Jinan
Xin Ruan was startled. She had no doubt about the authenticity of Pei Zhaoyang's words. Although she had only been in contact with this man for a month, she had already gained a rough understanding of Pei Zhaoyang's character. He was rigid, serious, and always put his words into practice. Occasionally, he showed some tenderness and tolerance, just like the rain drifting in the desert, which was very precious.
It's really nothing, you know. Many people in my hometown are talkative and always talk about the truths they think they are true. Anyway, we can't see each other for a long time in a year, and it will pass with a little patience, "she explained patiently.
Is that all? "Pei Zhaoyang asked in a low voice.
Xin Ruan hesitated for a moment and let out a 'hmm'.
Don't tell Pei Zhaoyang about Xu Fangfang's situation. Sending a New Year's greeting is not a big deal. She is not sure about the mall situation. If it's really like what Xu Jun said, Pei Zhaoyang and Xu Cube are mortal enemies, and something else happens then, it will be terrible.
Pei Zhaoyang's brow furrowed. His intuition was that it shouldn't be just this little thing. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "Is your WeChat ID your phone? I'll add you
No. "Xin Ruan reported another registration number.
The two of them added each other on WeChat, and almost at the same time as clicking confirm, Pei Zhaoyang's video request came over.
Pei Zhaoyang's face appeared on the screen, and it seemed that he was also outdoors. Due to the lighting and pixels, the sharp contours of his face were smoothed out slightly, giving him a slightly softer appearance. However, his gaze remained sharp, and even Xin Ruan could feel the sharpness through the screen.
Xin Ruan felt a bit uneasy and muttered softly, "Why are you looking at me like that? You don't have any flowers on your face, do you
Have you cried? "Pei Zhaoyang suddenly asked.
This can all be seen
Xin Ruan quickly lied and denied, "No... the wind is strong here... it's easy to be blown to tears
The leaves in the background are just slightly shaking. Pei Zhaoyang's eyes stagnate for a few seconds, but he doesn't expose her lies. He said simply, "I will accompany you back to go home next year, and let them tell me the self righteous truth."
Xin Ruan gave a bitter smile and murmured, "Who can accompany whom for a lifetime? After enjoying it, it will be even more painful when it is lost, won't it
Xin Ruan, "Pei Zhaoyang's voice suddenly became serious," don't measure me by Xu Fangfang's standards, I'm different from him
Xin Ruan paused for a moment and quickly said, "I didn't, of course you two are different
In the video, there was a moment of silence, followed by a rustling sound. Pei Zhaoyang's face disappeared, replaced by a dark night, and one could vaguely distinguish the nearby greenery and a small water method.
The phone was placed on a fixed platform, and Pei Zhaoyang reappeared in the camera, adjusting the image with his hands behind his back.
Can you see me? "Pei Zhaoyang asked.
I can see, what are you doing? "Xin Ruan asked in confusion.
A second kick appeared in Pei Zhaoyang's hand, and as soon as the fire lit up, the fuse was ignited.
Xin Ruan exclaimed in surprise, "Throw it away! Quickly throw it away! You've burned your hands
Pei Zhaoyang turned a deaf ear and held his hand weakly without moving. After a moment, the two kicks shot straight into the sky and instantly out of the screen's sight, making a loud bang.
Xin Ruan held her breath for a moment, and her hand holding the phone softened slightly. She has been particularly afraid of fire since she was young. During the Chinese New Year, she only played with small things like throwing cannons and fireflies, and didn't even dare to light fireworks, let alone kick her feet.
Before she could speak, Pei Zhaoyang took out another kick with a loud bang.
What are you... doing? "Xin Ruan asked helplessly. Other people's boyfriends and husbands set off romantic fireworks, and Xu Lifang had also set them off for her before, dazzling and gorgeous. Pei Zhaoyang, on the other hand, was independent and had been tinkering for so long, giving her a second kick.
However, her question was too weak amidst the "bang bang" sound of two kicks, and Pei Zhaoyang didn't hear anything.
Xin Ruan could only watch as the two kicks were ignited, lifted into the air, and exploded one by one in Pei Zhaoyang's hands. The "bang bang" sound in his eardrums kept going... Listening to it, it was magical. The suffocating breath in his chest seemed to leak out bit by bit with the explosion sound, gradually disappearing.
The gossip of relatives, the New Year greetings of her ex husband, and all the miscellaneous things completely disappeared from her mind.
It seems that they were awakened by these two kicks, and the scattered sound of firecrackers in the village has become more and more frequent. Fireworks burst into the night sky, blooming one brilliant spark after another.
The screen shook slightly, and Pei Zhaoyang's face appeared on it again.
You're really brave. How many did you let in? Aren't you afraid of your hands exploding? "Xin Ruan couldn't help but feel scared.
This is a small joke. The single soldier mortar I used before is much more terrifying than this one, "Pei Zhaoyang said casually." Twenty four of them represent all the unhappiness you have had in the past twenty-four years. In the future, when you are with me, you will definitely be happy and joyful
Xin Ruan's throat choked up for a while before he whispered, "Thank you, Pei Zhaoyang.
Returning to the hall, everyone was still enjoying themselves.
Xin Ruan no longer felt suffocated and happily began to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.
Setting aside those rudimentary dishes and plates, the vegetables here are superior to those in Ji'an City in terms of freshness. Pork and beef are freshly slaughtered and sold in the village, while vegetables are freshly picked from the fields.
Seeing her come back, Xin Zhenshan, who had been looking at the door all along, breathed a sigh of relief. After hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice in her ear and comforted her, "It's only once a year. Your grandfather has been feudal for a long time. Don't pay too much attention to him
Xin Ruan responded with a smile.
I stayed in the village for two nights and listened to the gossip news about the seven uncles and eight aunts in the village. Who knows whose son is working hard outside and wants to divorce his wife when he comes back? He was beaten up by his brother-in-law; What kind of son has been admitted to a prestigious high school, but he doesn't have enough money to study. The villagers have already helped him with a few dollars and sent him out
The semi closed mountain village, with its rigid and conventional rules that are repulsive, is also mixed with some simple human emotions, making it difficult to determine whether these people are good or bad. It can only be attributed to thousands of years of feudal ignorance. It will take a long time to truly adapt to modern civilization.
On the afternoon of the third day of junior high school, Xin Zhenshan bid farewell to his family and drove back to Jinan for several hours.
That night, we went to visit Xinruan's grandmother's house to celebrate the New Year. She booked a large hall in a nearby hotel, where two uncles and some cousins had three tables together. We celebrated the festival together in a lively and lively manner. Compared to their hometown, this dinner was much more lively and interesting. Everyone tacitly avoided the topic of Xin Ruan's marriage and talked about their interesting stories from these days. Unconsciously, an evening passed by
After dinner, Xin Zhenshan asked her to go home together. After hesitating for a while, Xin Ruan politely refused, "You all have to go to Aunt Lin's place to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow. I'm not interested at home either
Xin Zhenshan was a little disappointed: "What about eating during the Chinese New Year when you're alone in that small house? You don't know how to cook and have never even touched a spatula since childhood
I will learn, "Xin Ruan had already planned and bought several cookbooks specifically for this purpose before the New Year.
Xin Zhenshan chuckled, as if recalling something: "Your mother always says that too, but
But what? "Asked Xin Ruan curiously.
I have never succeeded before, "Xin Zhenshan's voice unconsciously softened, with a noticeable curve at the corner of his mouth.
Xin Zhenshan rarely mentions his ex-wife in front of Xin Ruan. Xin Ruan's heart warmed and he was about to ask a few more questions when Lin Zhi walked over with Xin Fei on her arm. The father and daughter had a good understanding and stopped chatting.
After leaving the house, Xin Ruan originally wanted to take a taxi back, but her cousin drove the car himself and warmly escorted Xin Ruan back.
Speaking of this big cousin, he is also a wonderful person. He graduated from university and was originally admitted to the civil service, but resigned after two years. He was chased by his aunt and scolded for being unfilial. He decided to travel around the world for two years and brought back a bunch of connections. Now he has opened a travel agency specializing in high-end and in-depth tours, which is thriving.
My cousin is very handsome and walks in a yuppie style. He wears harem pants, a cotton coat, and a shiny back. If he were to wear them normally, he would definitely have a very high rate of turning back.
With a very gentlemanly demeanor, he escorted her all the way to the entrance of the unit. His cousin then gently hugged her as before and whispered in her ear, "Xiao Ruan, if you have any difficulties, please remember to tell me. We are here
Hmm. "Xin Ruan nodded vigorously.
Watching her cousin's back disappear in front of her, she finally entered the hallway door. Just as she was about to press the elevator, she suddenly felt a chill in her back. She suddenly turned around and saw Pei Zhaoyang leaning against the door frame of the safety staircase, staring at her unfathomably.
Pei Zhaoyang: Men should kick their feet twice, fireworks girls are chirping.
Brother Vinegar: Your wife is just a woman! Do you think you're leading troops?
Pei Zhaoyang: Can we start over?
