On New Year's Eve, the elders are chattering among themselves, and the young people are ready to eat.
As usual, Jing Ming was paralyzed on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, his long legs barely spanning the entire sofa area.
Jing Ning jumped to his side: "Third brother, I think you are going to speak for Beijing Pan! Are you sitting still?"
Jing Jing suggested: "Third brother, let's go out and set off fireworks."
Jing Ming got up to get the fireworks.
Jing Ning greeted: "Sister Du Ruo, you are also here."
Du Ruo wanted to watch the fireworks, but didn't want to stay with Jing Ming.
Ming Yi poked his head out from the dining table: "Xiao Ruo, go out and play with them."
"oh."
Jing Ming took the lighter, walked past her, and changed shoes in the entrance.
Du Ruo also followed to change shoes.
Jing Ning looked at the two of them and found New World: "Third brother, you and sister Du Ruo are both wearing red sweaters. Haha, couple outfits!"
Jing Ming threw a large bag of fireworks and salutes to Jing Ning: "Take it."
Jing Ning was almost crushed, but Jing Jing was considerate of her younger sister and took it.
Du Ruo put on the woolen coat calmly.
…
Jingming's house is a high-end villa area, all of which are single-family buildings, without townhouses.
Each household has its own garden lawn and shrubs, and the privacy is very good.
Between the buildings, the road is wide and winding.
It was past eleven o'clock at night, and brilliant fireworks rose from time to time in the surrounding night sky, and clusters of colorful explosions exploded in the air.
The two children Jing Ning and Jing looked around excitedly.
"Wow, look there!"
"And there! It's so beautiful!"
Jingming walked to the middle of the road in the community, no cars would pass by at this time.
He placed a row of conical fireworks in the middle of the road, bowed his waist, and lit them quickly one after another. In an instant, a row of firecrackers and silver flowers were ignited. It was as if a row of silver fireworks trees suddenly grew on the road.
So beautiful, Du Ruo secretly sighed.
Through the silver branches, on the opposite side, two children danced happily. Jing Ming also stood opposite with his pockets in his pockets, staring at the blooming fireworks with a smile on his face.
The silver flames reflected in his eyes, shining brightly.
He was wearing such a thin red sweater, and he was not cold.
Although fireworks are beautiful, they are fleeting.
When the silver tree was gone, the two middle school students ran to search in the bag: "What are you going to play next?"
With sharp eyes, Jing Ning found a "fairy stick" holding fireworks: "I want to play with this!"
Jing Ming was taking out the firework stick, and when he saw that she was grabbing it without saying hello, he quickly withdrew behind him: "What are you grabbing? Huh?"
Jing Ning continued to rush, but Jing Ming moved quickly and dodged as soon as he turned around.
Jing Ning retorted: "That's for girls to play with. Boys are sissies if they play! I think you have the nerve to play!"
Unexpectedly, Jing Ming would be fooled by her, he raised his chin, and said: "Then I must play this." He said that he wanted to light the firework stick in his hand.
Jing Ning was in a hurry, and rushed to grab it, Jing Ming raised his hand, and she couldn't reach it: "Don't! You let me play with this, can I give you everything else?"
Jing Ming: "It's mine, why do you still need it?"
One raised his hand to light the fireworks, and the other jumped up and down to grab them. Jing Ming was already tall, and Jing Ning was a little girl in junior high school, so where can I get her.
Jing Ning asked for help: "Fourth Brother!"
Jing Jing looked like a big brother, helplessly looking at the noisy two siblings: "Third brother, you can just give it to her."
Jing Ning: "Look, are you embarrassed? The fourth brother is more sensible than you, how do you become an older brother? You won't even give me a single firework stick!"
Jing Ming: "Then I won't be an older brother, can I call you older sister?"
Jing Ning almost screamed frantically,
Du Ruo couldn't stand it anymore, and said speechlessly, "She's a younger sister, why don't you let her go!"
Before the words finished, Jing Ming had had enough teasing, and was putting down his arms to give things to Jing Ning.
Her words made the surroundings quiet for a while.
Jing Ning took the fireworks stick from Jing Ming's hand, and seeing the tension in the atmosphere, he immediately laughed and said, "Third brother is the most annoying, he makes trouble with me every time."
Jing Ming didn't care about her smoothing things over, turned his eyes, glanced at Du Ruo, and said, "I want you to talk more."
Du Ruo stood in the cold New Year's Eve, her cheeks were slightly red.
Jing Ning quickly changed the subject: "Third brother, order this for me."
Jing Ming didn't speak, and flicked on the lighter to light fireworks for her.
Jing Jing also immediately pulled out a bunch of fireworks: "Brother, there is this."
Du Ruo bit her lip lightly.
She doesn't welcome him. She didn't want to be with him yet.
Turn around and walk back to the villa.
Walking to the door of the house, about to open the door and go in, I heard laughter and laughter inside.
On New Year's Eve, the whole family is reunited.
She is an outsider, and it is awkward to go in. Most of the people inside are unfamiliar faces, and there is no one to speak. It's not easy to let the aunt always take care of her.
She thought about it, turned and left, went to the corner, and called her mother.
In the past, during the Chinese New Year, although the family was deserted, there were only her and her mother and grandma, but even if there were only three of them, they still had to watch the year. At this point, mothers in my hometown will not fall asleep.
Her home is in the far southwestern border, there is no winter, and it is not cold during Chinese New Year.
But the New Year's Eve here is so cold.
Du Ruo shrank her neck, stomped her feet, and dialed her mother's number.
"Hello? Xiao Ruo..." Mom's voice was very low, but when she listened carefully, she seemed to be holding back her sobs.
She made a distinction in a daze, determined that her mother was crying, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter? Why are you crying? What happened?"
"It's okay." On the other end, my mother sniffled, "It's just Chinese New Year. Mom misses you."
This time, for some reason, Du Ruo's tears also fell down.
Clearly did not want to cry.
It's really strange, it's just New Year's Eve, but it's just the same day as every other day. Why is it that this day, when the family is not around, will make people cry.
Wiping her tears, she laughed and said, "What's there to cry about? When I make money in the future, I'll take you over to play, and take you to see the Great Wall."
The bell rang at zero o'clock, and the city was full of excitement.
In the distance, someone shouted the countdown "ten, nine, eight, seven..."
Someone shouted "Happy New Year—"
In an instant, the night sky was filled with gorgeous fireworks, and everyone looked up at the starry sky.
Only she, standing in the corner of the villa as beautiful as a jewelry box, holding a mobile phone, lowered her head, tears falling down.
"Sister Du Ruo, it's time to light the salute, come and see!" Jing Ning shouted not far away.
Du Ruo just hung up the phone, wiped his eyes, and walked towards the cobblestone road in the middle of the lawn.
Jing Ming was about to go back to play games, when he ran quickly from outside the lawn, just as he rushed up the steps, he met her tear-filled eyes. He was stunned, Du Ruo was also stunned, immediately turned his face away, lowered his head and ran away quickly.
Jing Ming looked at her running away figure, it was incredible.
Just said something to her,
Just that one sentence,
Can this also cry
…
At the entrance of the Jing family villa, on the steps.
Jing Ming put his hands in his pockets and looked at the sky speechlessly.
The night sky is full of exploding fireworks. He stood for a while, lowered his head and scratched his hair irritably, then glanced back at Du Ruo who was not far away, and walked over.
He walked across the lawn and arrived at the side of the road. Du Ruo was sitting on the curb looking at the sky, and Jing Jing and Jing Ning were sitting there watching the fireworks with her.
She raised her head, her face was pale, her eye sockets were a little red, and her eyelashes were still wet, but her expression was as if nothing had happened, and she was wholeheartedly admiring the fireworks on New Year's Eve. The colored light was reflected in her pupils, like rippling in water.
He walked over with his pockets in his pockets, and sat down on the curb, looking at the sky.
Fuck, usually there are no people in the community, where are there so many fireworks today
The sound of the salute was crackling, just as a cover,
He whispered: "I didn't kill you, why are you crying?"
No one paid him any attention.
I don't know if she didn't hear the firecrackers because they were too loud, or if she heard it and didn't want to pay attention.
Jing Ming licked his lower lip, and didn't have the temper to ask again. Putting his hands back into his pockets, he looked up to the sky.
Gradually, the fireworks scattered.
At the moment of the New Year's Eve, every household is in full bloom, dazzling and beautiful.
Once the time passed, it was all gone without a trace. Only the winter night sky remained, without a single star.
Jingning and Jingjing are still immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year, and there is only one small star stick left in the fireworks.
"Let's make a wish, let's make a new year's wish!"
The two middle school students happily proposed, and Jing Ning immediately lit the star stick in his hand, and the little stick instantly shot out golden stars, twinkling.
Jing Ning raised it high and shouted to the sky: "I want to be admitted to the high school attached to the National People's Congress! It's over!"
Jing Ming snorted and laughed: "Adding 'finished' after making a wish is creative."
Jing Ning gave him a blank look, but then took the initiative to shout again: "I want to be admitted to the high school attached to the National People's Congress! The wish is over!"
She happily shook her head and handed the star stick to Jingjing.
Jing Jing let out a long sigh: "My mother doesn't force me to learn the piano anymore, the wish is over!"
Jing Ning pointed at him and laughed loudly: "I'll tell Uncle Si later!" She crossed her legs and tilted her head and handed Jing Ming the sparkling fireworks, "Third brother, what about you, what is your New Year's wish? "
Jing Ming shrugged, but refused to answer: "No."
"Why not?"
Jingming asked back, "Is there anything I don't have?"
Jing Ning: "..."
View: "..."
The two looked at each other, pretending to be cold and hugging themselves, rubbing goose bumps.
Jing Ning: "Brother, when you look like this, no one beat you to death at school?"
Jing Ming made a gesture to hit her, but Jing Ning stuck out his tongue to avoid it, and said, "I know what your wish is."
"What?"
"You have to achieve greater achievements than Uncle San."
Jing Ming said disdainfully: "This is inevitable, not wish."
Just as Jing Ning was about to say something, he found that the fireworks in his hand were still burning, so he quickly handed them to Du Ruo: "Hurry up, sister Du Ruo, make a wish!"
Du Ruo took it seriously, watching the flame burning, shortening little by little, and golden stars sprinkled one after another, she nodded and said, "My New Year's wish—"
"Study hard, work hard, and live well."
As soon as the voice fell, the flame burned to the end, and the last few stars flew out, and the fireworks went out.
"Just right!" Jing Ning clapped his hands, "Our wishes will come true!"
