Yinyin held up a filled glass of orange juice and happily clinked glasses with everyone, wishing everyone a happy New Year.
There are two less people this year, so the excitement is naturally two points less.
The national channel's Spring Festival Gala was being played on the TV. No one paid attention to what program was playing. Everyone was happily eating, drinking and playing.
At this time, the phone at home rang, and Liu Chunzhi went over to answer the phone.
It's Li Jianbo calling.
"Mom, happy New Year!"
Liu Chunzhi cursed at the beginning: "You brat, if you won't come back during the Chinese New Year, who will cook for you outside?"
Li Jianbo said apologetically on the other end of the phone: "Mom, don't worry, I'm with my friends and have food to eat."
"Can you have a home outside? You brat!"
Li Jianbo just let his mother scold him, and Liu Chunzhi scolded him a few times. After a few words, Liu Chunzhi couldn't bear it anymore.
"You should take good care of yourself when you are out there alone. Don't be tired or hungry. Come back and take a look when you have time. Mom said some serious words to you before, so don't take it to heart. No matter what, it's the same here. your home.”
Li Jianbo said with a smile: "Mom, I will definitely come back when I have time. You should also take good care of yourself."
After the mother and son exchanged a few words, Jian Bo said he wanted to find Jian Ping, and Liu Chunzhi called Jian Ping over.
"Jianbo, what are you doing, not even coming back for the New Year?"
"I'm really busy here and I can't get away from it. I'll talk about it later when I'm freer." Li Jianbo didn't lie. He is now a doctor and a teacher. He has teaching duties and occasionally performs surgery. His life is busier than before. , but he likes this sense of fulfillment.
"The hotel has officially opened. Business has been pretty good recently. You should come back and take a look."
"Well, as you can imagine, I'll leave it to you to take care of the family matters. By the way, how is mom these days? Is your blood pressure normal? Are you still complaining of dizziness?"
Jian Ping could only say: "She lives with Weiwei, and I heard it's not bad."
Jian Bo smiled and said, "That's good."
"I'll ask Weiwei to come and talk to you."
Jian Bo stopped him: "Brother, I don't have anything special to say to her, so there's no need. Just convey my greetings to her."
"You really don't want to tell her?"
"There's nothing to say, just be nice."
"Are there any conflicts between you two?" Jian Ping was afraid that his mother would hear him, so he lowered his voice.
Jian Bo smiled and said: "No, you are just dreaming. Nothing happened. Okay, that's it, keep in touch." Jian Bo hung up the phone on his own initiative.
Before Jianping could continue the interrogation, there was a beep of hang up. Li Jianping put down the phone in confusion, and Li Wei called him: "Brother, come over and have a drink!"
When the meal was coming to an end, Yin Yin started shouting about setting off fireworks.
The hotel opened new this year, so Jianping bought a few more boxes of fireworks to celebrate the occasion. He smiled and said to his daughter: "Come on, Yin Yin, let's go set off fireworks."
Li Wei was also naughty and followed him out.
The setting location was chosen to be on the lawn. Li Wei helped carry the fireworks out. After forming a circle, Li Jianping lit them.
A beam of fire rushed into the night sky with a whoosh, and with a bang, a yellow spark bloomed in the night sky. Yinyin was very happy and jumped around there.
Li Wei looked at the night sky and thought that another year has passed, and the days are passing so fast.
Jian Ping stood next to her and suddenly asked: "Did anything happen between you and Jian Bo?"
Li Wei said in surprise: "Nothing."
"He followed you to Japan and didn't he say anything to you?"
"I just said he was going to the capital. What else can I do except support him."
"If you had asked to keep him, he would have definitely listened to you."
"Why should you keep him? It would be good to go to the capital. My second brother seems to have always been yearning for the outside. It would be good to let him have a try."
After a while, Jianping said again: "Mom lives with you and talks in your ears every day. She must be urging you to go on a blind date and get married every day. Will it bother you?"
Li smiled slightly and said, "I seem to have gotten used to it."
"You are already thirty, and it seems a little unreasonable that you don't even have a marriage partner. You have to think about it carefully. If you meet a good man, you might as well settle down. Life is short, and in a few years you may not be able to get married even if you want to. It’s not that easy. If a woman doesn’t get married, she will inevitably be gossiped about. As a brother, I don’t want to interfere too much with you, but I only have one wish, which is to wish you well. "
Li Wei nodded solemnly.
The entire Li family moved to the new hotel. This is a two-story villa, red and white, full of European style. Li Jianping's family of three lived on the first floor, and Liu Chunzhi's room was also on the first floor. The room above belonged to her and her second brother. There is a study room outside, etc. It is very spacious and bright.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, but Li Wei did not lie down. She sat in front of the dressing table and opened a box solemnly. Inside the box was a black leather notebook, a gold bracelet, and a jade plaque. These are all things left by Zhao Qian. She took out the royal guard she asked for from the shrine and put it in her notebook. She clasped her hands together and said silently in her heart: "My definition of happiness is all about you. Please come back. I need you very much."
She prayed sincerely, hoping that the gods in heaven could hear her voice and bring Zhao Qian to her again.
As people grow older, they find the Chinese New Year more and more boring. Except for necessary outings during the Spring Festival, Li Wei stayed at home and didn't go anywhere. On the third day of junior high school, she had a simple gathering with several high school classmates, and finally met the divorced Hu Linlin, but seeing her chic appearance, the divorce didn't seem to affect her at all.
On the afternoon of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, I visited Lin Haishu’s grave alone. She presented a bouquet of flowers. Looking at the small photo on the tombstone, Li Wei told him softly: “You taught me exercises and photography. Although I still hate math, I have always loved photography. ”
Li Wei returned to work at the TV station on the seventh day of the lunar month.
Everyone leads a step-by-step life, busy and fulfilling.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, she received an email in her mailbox, from Nanyin University. The email was talking about the school anniversary alumni association. Li Wei checked her schedule and found that she was free that day, so she signed up.
Will Xiang Hailan go to the class reunion? She just had a lot to ask Xiang Hailan, and would Chen Zhu go? She thought of Tang Shiyun again. Tang Shiyun is now working on a national TV station, has regular programs, and has a certain reputation in front of audiences across the country. He is considered the best person in their class. Looking back, Tang Shiyun has always been the one favored by fate.
