The night sky is full of fireworks.
The sound of fireworks and firecrackers did not stop. As it was approaching midnight, the sound became more and more frequent in the starry sky where Fang Yan was and thousands of miles away.
Lu Chaoge didn't say anything else, and Fang Yan didn't say anything either.
Lu Chaoge was concentrating on watching the fireworks, and Fang Yan watched the fireworks with her on the other end of the phone.
At this time, language becomes a redundant and outdated means of communication.
She felt lonely spending the holiday alone, so he kept her company over the phone.
For him, there was only so much he could do.
For her, that was enough!
Time passes by minute by minute, and fireworks are set off in clusters.
They have to keep doing this.
Until the sky collapses and the earth splits, until the sea dries up and the rocks crumble, until the mountains are gone and the sky and the earth merge, until the smartphone runs out of battery-----
Yes, when Fang Yan thought they would continue in this wonderful state for a long time, the phone placed next to his ear began to heat up and a battery alarm sounded.
Based on Fang Yan's experience, he knew that the phone battery was running out of power.
The battery life of today's smartphones is really too short.
Waiting for their magic cube new energy technology to be promoted and popularized, such problems can be solved. A battery can be used for half a month, and the wife will no longer have to worry about her husband not coming home.
"Is your phone dead?" Lu Chaoge on the other end of the line also heard the beeping sound and said with a smile, "Fang Yan, thank you for watching the fireworks with me. I feel very peaceful now and don't feel lonely at all. The fireworks tonight are so beautiful."
Fang Yan nodded, and then he remembered that Lu Chaoge couldn't see him nodding at all, so he quickly said, "The fireworks tonight are very beautiful."
"That's it," Lu Chaoge said. "I think you'll be very busy tonight."
"Not very busy." Fang Yan said. He didn't do much tonight, just beat a killer, saved a family's life, received a few messages, made a few phone calls - by the way, he was also despised by Fang Yingxiong and Fang Haohan.
Ding ding ding-----
The old bell at the east end of the village was rung by the bell keeper, which represented that the old year had passed and the new year had arrived. It represented that Yanziwu had protected China for another year, and that China had enjoyed good weather, abundant harvests, and peace and prosperity in this year.
Saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new year is indeed something worth ringing bells to publicize and show off.
"Happy New Year." Lu Chaoge said.
"Happy New Year." Fang Yan said. After thinking for a moment, he added, "I will be back to Huacheng soon."
"Well, the students are about to start school."
"See you in Huacheng."
"See you in Huacheng."
Fang Yan hung up the call with Lu Chaoge and was about to go back to his room to change the battery when the phone in his hand started ringing again.
Fang Yan glanced at the caller ID, answered the phone again, and said with a smile: "Jiang Qin, Happy New Year."
"Teacher Fang, Happy New Year." Jiang Qin's sweet voice came over. "Teacher Fang, who are you talking to on the phone? I've been calling for half an hour, and your phone is always busy. I never realized that you are such a talkative person."
Fang Yan laughed and said, "I was just calling my friends to wish them a happy new year."
"Humph, I was thinking of being the first one to wish you a happy new year." Jiang Qin said aggrievedly. "Am I the first person to call you and say Happy New Year?"
"No." Fang Yan said frankly. The first person to wish him a happy new year was Lu Chaoge. Their phone call lasted from last year to the new year.
"Ah?" Jiang Qin shouted in dissatisfaction, "Who was earlier than me? Who took my first place?"
Fang Yan laughed and said, "What does it matter if it's first or second? It's enough that the thought is received. Are your parents here? Give them your phone and I'll wish them a happy new year----"
After Fang Yan changed the battery of his mobile phone, Yuan Lin happened to call him, and Fang Yan also wished her parents a happy New Year.
Fang Yan was just about to find time to call Xia Tian, but unexpectedly Xia Tian took the initiative to call him.
"Teacher Fang, are you very busy today?" Xia Tian's voice was very lazy, and it sounded like he had just woken up and was lying in bed.
"No matter how busy a teacher is, he is not as busy as a big star." Fang Yan said with a smile. "Why do I feel like you are sleeping?"
"Yes. I felt sleepy after dinner, so I lay down on the bed and took a nap. I was just woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside, and I thought about the new year. I turned on my phone to call you to wish you a happy new year."
"It's only midnight, and you actually slept?" Fang Yan was surprised. "How did you have time to sleep tonight?"
Based on Fang Yan's understanding of celebrity life, aren't festivals their busiest times
Evening parties, running errands, cocktail parties, and various etiquette and social events.
Even if you don't attend the Spring Festival Gala of Huaxia TV, you will attend the New Year's Eve Gala of local TV stations. Even if you don't participate in TV programs, you have to attend some New Year's receptions.
Given how famous and popular Xia is among the public, how could Xia have the time to lie at home and sleep in
"I don't want to attend any parties this year. I've rejected all activities." Xia Tian giggled and sounded in a good mood. "I just want to have a meal with my family and then lie down on the bed to have a good sleep. I'm really tired after being busy outside for a whole year. After dinner, I turned off my phone. No one can find me, and I can't see or hear any messages or calls. This trick really works. I feel much better now. It seems that all the hard work of the year has been compensated by this sleep."
"Rich people are so willful." Fang Yan said with a smile. "If I had known, I would have turned off my phone and gone to sleep like you."
"You can't turn off your phone. If you turn it off, my calls won't come through." Xia Tian said. "I haven't had time to ask you, what is your relationship with that girl?"
"Little girl? What little girl?"
"That's the little girl I saw." Xia Tian said with a smile. "Girls who look like that are rare. There is only one in Yanjing City in hundreds of years. The little princess of the Qin family - tsk tsk, Teacher Fang, I find that you are very wild. It's not easy for us to meet, but you are standing at the door of the club waiting for you."
"She is my student." Fang Yan said.
"that is it?"
"That's all." Fang Yan said.
Lanshan Valley also called to wish a happy new year, and Willow Tree sent a greeting message.
Fang Yan was much busier this Spring Festival than in previous years. Before he knew it, so many people gathered around him.
Fang Yingxiong and Fang Haohan rolled up the firecrackers they had prepared in advance onto bamboo poles and set them off, calling it "welcoming the New Year."
After welcoming the New Year, Fang Yan personally went to the kitchen to cut two plates of braised meat and walked towards the backyard. He knew that the old drunkard must not be asleep at this time.
The old drunkard was indeed not asleep. He was brewing wine in the yard.
The old drunkard likes to drink and brew wine. Every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, he brews a jar of wine, which he calls "new wine". The new year will have a new beginning. Perhaps this also represents some persistence and hope in his heart.
Fang Yan and the old drunkard sat opposite each other and drank, each with a large bowl, which they finished in one gulp.
Fang Yan ate and drank at the same time, while the old drunkard only drank without eating. It seemed that drinking alcohol could satisfy him, and meat and vegetables were unnecessary for him.
"Who is it?" the old drunkard asked. The old drunkard drank all day, but that didn't mean he knew nothing about what was going on at home.
On the contrary, because of his presence and his staying, the Fang family has always been peaceful.
Fang Yan went out to catch the murderer tonight, and the person who protected the Fang family's safety was this old drunkard who even refused to eat New Year's Eve dinner with others.
"We only have some clues, but we can't be sure yet." Fang Yan said in a deep voice. "However, this time they want to wipe out our Fang family. There are only a handful of opponents who can be so generous - a fox will always show its tail, and a fly will always be unable to resist eating shit again. If they act this way, don't blame us for not stopping until they die."
"Just kill him." The old drunkard burped and said calmly.
Fang Yan smiled and said, "You were the one who supported this family before, but now I am the one who supports this family. Don't worry, I won't fall. Just drink your wine and leave the rest to me."
"I will drink what I should drink, and I will kill what I should kill." The old drunkard said in a refreshing voice, like a burning knife in a bowl. "I am just a useless person, but not a dead person. Do you dare to bully me like a cat or a dog? Do you think there is no one in my family?"
"You are not a useless person, it's just that your meridians-----"
The old drunkard interrupted Fang Yan and said, "There was a good climber who was climbing a mountain. When he was about to reach the top, someone kicked him down. No matter how hard that person tried, he could only climb to the middle of the mountain. Can you still say that person is a good climber?"
Fang Yan's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and he said, "So, I made a decision."
The old drunkard looked at Fang Yan with burning eyes, waiting for him to continue.
"I want to challenge the Chinese Dragon God." Fang Yan said solemnly. "If he cuts off two of your meridians, I will cut off two of his dragon claws. This is fair."
clang----
The old drunkard's fingers tapped on the wall of the bowl, making a sound as crisp as metal and stone.
"I have been waiting for this sentence for too many years." The old drunkard said excitedly. "A man is determined to leave his hometown and will not return until he has achieved fame. There is no need to bury bones in red soil, there are gold mountains everywhere in the world. Warriors like us should have such ambitions."
"I want to avenge you. We in the Fang family are not so easy to bully."
"When do you want to challenge the Dragon God?"
"When my Tai Chi Heart enters the Water Overflow Realm, I will fight the Dragon God inside the Red Wall." Fang Yan said. "I believe that day will come soon."
"------"
