On this day of New Year's Eve, for Tang Bingyao, it was no different from usual.
I got up early in the morning, and after washing up, I cooked a pot of porridge by myself. After having breakfast with my grandmother, she started busy cleaning up the room at home.
According to the habit of the elderly, we must say goodbye to the old and welcome the new during the Spring Festival. We naturally have to clean up the house to welcome the coming New Year with a new look. , Since two years ago, such a task has fallen to Tang Bingyao.
Although I live in an old private house with a small area, it takes a lot of work to clean it up.
Tang Bingyao has been busy since the morning, and has been busy until noon, but she has only cleaned two-thirds of the room. At noon, she went into the kitchen to prepare lunch for herself and her grandmother, and then helped her to finish a Chinese medicine and took care of her to drink it. After returning to the room to rest, he continued to work on the remaining cleaning tasks.
It wasn't until two or three o'clock in the afternoon that the whole house was cleaned.
At this time, the old man was taking a nap, and Tangtang couldn't take a rest, so he went out again with his small wallet and a woven bag.
After all, it's New Year's Eve, so dinner needs to be a little richer. The refrigerator at home is empty and there is nothing left, so I have to go to the supermarket to make purchases.
And when it comes to purchasing, in fact, you can't buy much.
There are only two people at home, Grandma and Tangtang, who can't spend too much money.
After walking around in the supermarket with the woven bag brought from home for a long time, thinking seriously about the dishes that my grandmother liked but was not willing to spend money to buy it, Tang Bingyao finally chose several vegetables and went through the meat freezer. He hesitated for a while before, but still pursed his lips and turned away.
Grandma is only vegetarian, and only herself eats the meat.
And it's too expensive.
Don't waste money like that.
Thinking like this, Tang Bingyao settled the bill at the counter, and packed the purchased ingredients into the woven bag she brought over—
This is also to save, if you need another sturdier plastic bag in the supermarket, it will cost another fifty cents.
In the eyes of ordinary people, this is naturally a small amount of money that is not worth mentioning, but she has become accustomed to saving.
Even though he has recently earned a lot of extra money from the Internet Cow Internet Cafe, Tang Bingyao has not lost his habit of being diligent and thrifty.
After all... I have been suffering this way since I was a child.
Many bad memories brought by poverty in childhood, even now Tang Bingyao will not forget.
Can't be wasted.
To save money.
This is the life creed that Tangtang, who has a simple personality, is the most simple and persistent.
If you save money, you can see a doctor for a grandma who is not in good health.
And, as grandma sometimes jokingly mentioned to her, she will also have a dowry of her own in the future.
Um.
Even if she doesn't have parents like others, she can save a dowry for herself.
Carrying the shopping bag on the way home, Tangtang blushed thinking about it.
…
When I got home, my grandmother was still asleep in the room. It was still early, so I didn't need to rush to cook the New Year's Eve dinner immediately, so Tang Bingyao finally ushered in a rare leisure time in the day.
In normal times, at this time, she should be in a daily group line up with everyone in the team at the Internet Cow Internet Cafe, or interact with the guests in the Internet Cafe in a water friend match.
But today is the 30th year, and everyone is at home with their families.
Staying in her bedroom, Tang Bingyao, who was sitting in front of the desk, rested her chin on the table with her hands on the table, and looked at the warm sunlight coming in through the window, thinking a little.
on vacation.
The first half of this winter vacation was very fulfilling and happy.
First, the National College League won the championship, with a happy ending.
Later, I participated in the "Fighting Cup" round-robin challenge at the Internet Cow Internet Cafe, and then I interacted with the guests and water friends in the Internet cafe every day. It also made every day full and interesting.
More importantly, because of the competitions and activities, she can get together with everyone in the team almost every day.
Gossiping, talking and laughing.
Very happy.
And, and…
You can also see Fuko every day.
The girl's character is too simple, even if she just secretly comes up with such an idea when there is no one like this in private, and understands her own mind ignorantly, it is enough to make Tangtang's face turn red with shame. , quickly reached out and touched his face, feeling as hot as a fever.
Shaking her head vigorously, Tang Bingyao quickly threw those "shameful" thoughts to the back of her mind:
By the way, this year's Chinese New Year, Fengzi also spent it in Shanghai.
Suddenly remembering the invitation made by Lin Feng two days ago to celebrate the New Year and have a New Year's Eve together, Tang Bingyao's face was a little gloomy.
She must have wanted to celebrate the New Year with Lin Feng, Su Xue, and An Xin. The big guys are lively and lively, and she has never experienced such a New Year's Eve atmosphere.
Very longing and yearning.
But she also has to accompany her grandma, so she can't be left alone at home.
…
At five or six o'clock in the evening, Tangtang regained her energy and was busy in the kitchen.
She was brought up by her grandmother since she was a child. After the old man's health began to deteriorate, she was gradually entrusted to take care of all the affairs of the family, so she became very proficient in cooking skills such as cooking.
After more than an hour, four or five steaming dishes were served on the small dining table.
Before the New Year's Eve dinner, Tang Bingyao was taken by her grandmother to the altar in the living room. She put a stick of incense on her parents seriously, closed her eyes, and folded her hands together to worship her heartily, praying that her parents would be able to bless her in another world. She had a peaceful and smooth year ahead.
Then go back to the table for dinner.
On New Year's Eve this year, it was still just An Xin and her grandmother together.
The grandfather and grandson were sitting and eating, looking a little deserted.
Tangtang seemed a little absent-minded when eating, and was noticed by the grandma sitting opposite, and asked with concern:
"What's wrong with Tangtang, are you feeling unwell?"
Tang Bingyao suddenly recovered, and then quickly shook her head in a panic, denying:
"No no."
The old man sighed a little:
"It's all useless for grandma, and your body is not up to your expectations. Today, I've made you busy with this and that all day, and I've suffered you..."
Tang Bingyao suddenly raised her head and quickly differentiated:
"No, not at all."
"Grandma, don't talk nonsense, I'm not tired at all from this trivial matter."
Grandma looked at her granddaughter kindly and sympathetically: "I know you are sensible and filial, alas... Your parents left early, so I can only let you and I, an old lady, stay together every day, and there is no sense of New Year's Eve alone. "
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but sigh.
Tang Bingyao bit her lip slightly, feeling a little complicated and slightly sad, not knowing how to answer.
A New Year's Eve dinner was simply eaten for about half an hour. When it was about to end, Tang Bingyao was ready to clean up the dishes, and just at this moment, her cell phone rang.
Tang Bingyao picked up the phone and looked at it subconsciously, her heart skipping a beat.
It was a call from Lin Feng.
After picking it up, Lin Feng's loud voice came from the other end of the phone:
"Hey, candy!"
Tang Bingyao quickly responded in a low voice:
"Well, yes."
Lin Feng: "Sister Xue and I still have steamed buns for the New Year's Eve dinner! Didn't I call you two days ago, why haven't you come yet? We're all waiting for you!"
Tang Bingyao's hand holding the phone subconsciously clenched slightly before continuing to answer in a low voice for a long time:
"I... I'm eating with my grandma... "
Lin Feng: "Ah, is that so... Then are you coming at night?"
Tang Bingyao bit her lip, her expression hesitant and struggling: "I...you eat first, don't wait for me."
Lin Feng: "Eh? What does this mean—"
But at this time, Tang Bingyao quickly hung up the phone.
Tang Bingyao, who hung up the phone, sat on the chair, bowed her head slightly, and did not speak.
The dinner table fell silent.
