Looking back on 2009

Chapter 371 Happy New Year
Because of Ruan Mi's unexpected appearance, the atmosphere of the Chen family on New Year's Eve was a bit delicate.

Fortunately, this little episode passed quickly.

Although everyone has their own concerns, it does not affect everyone's enthusiasm for keeping the year old.

It's just that the closer it was to 12 o'clock in the evening, the busier Chen Zhihe became.

Since 11 o'clock, the reminder to send him blessing messages has not stopped.

Chen Zhihe had to sit aside to deal with these news, some he could choose not to reply, some had to.

Just as he was concentrating on processing, the phone rang.

The three sitting on the sofa looked at him in unison.

It was Ruan Mi calling.

Chen Zhihe calmly turned his phone to silent, and said with his usual expression, "I'll answer the call."

After speaking, he took his mobile phone and went outside the door.

Although it is the New Year's Eve in the morning, it does not delay everyone's fireworks at night.

Some people can't wait until 12 o'clock, and there are already sporadic voices outside.

It was Ruan Mi's excited voice when he answered the phone.

"Did you see, how am I doing?"

A gust of cold wind blew, Chen Zhihe shivered, and said with a smile: "Look, it's great, the people are nice, and the song is nice."

"Hee hee, thank you husband." Receiving Chen Zhihe's compliment seemed to make Ruan Mi even happier.

Chen Zhihe smiled and asked, "Is it over?"

Ruan Mi said: "Not yet, I have to make a comeback at the end, but it's not very important."

Chen Zhihe hummed, and said, "It's been hard work during this time, so I'll take a vacation for myself when it's over."

Ruan Mi said: "I have won it, and I can take a rest in a few days."

Chen Zhihe smiled and said, "That's really good news, I've been exhausted for a while."

Ruan Mi thought for a while and asked, "Are all the uncles and aunts okay?"

Knowing who she was asking, Chen Zhihe smiled and said, "It's good, I'm watching the Spring Festival Gala right now."

Ruan Mi giggled, "Did they see my show, and did they say anything?"

"Of course I saw it." Chen Zhihe paused and said, "My mother also said that this girl is really pretty."

Ruan Mi laughed happily, and then apologized, "Say hello to them for me, and wish them a happy new year. I was supposed to go see them this year."

Chen Zhihe hummed, "I'll definitely bring it to you."

Suddenly, Ruan Mi seemed to think of something, and said, "Why don't I just go to your house after I'm done here, and you should be home by then, and it shouldn't be too late."

Chen Zhihe choked, he didn't know how to answer.

This situation was beyond his expectation.

"Uh, it doesn't seem too good. It's not suitable to go now." Ruan Mi denied her just suggestion as if talking to herself.

Chen Zhihe breathed a sigh of relief, and said after consideration: "If you can't, just wait a while. It's too cold right now, and the weather can be warmer. Anyway, it's the end of my senior year, and I'm fine."

Ruan Mi thought about it, and it seemed that it was the same. In winter, I could only stay indoors, and it was quite uncomfortable to hold back.

"It makes sense. Then you can go on a spring outing or something."

Hearing that Ruan Mi didn't mention the matter of coming soon after the next year, Chen Zhihe felt relieved.

"Oh, let's not tell you now, I'm going to be busy soon."

"Well, go ahead. Happy New Year!"

"Hmm, husband, happy new year!"

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zhihe let out a breath, stomped his numb feet, and prepared to go back to the house.

When he turned around, he found that Lin Qingxuan was looking at him at the door.

"Did you finish the phone call? Go back to the house, it's very cold outside. Also, uncle said that there will be fireworks in a while." Seeing Chen Zhihe approaching, Lin Qingxuan smiled.

Chen Zhihe looked at Lin Qingxuan, but didn't see anything unusual, and tentatively said, "Well, it's over. Why did you run out, it's so cold."

Lin Qingxuan shook her head and smiled, and said: "Just after I came out, my uncle said that there will be fireworks, so I thought of coming over to call you."

"Let's go, go move the fireworks." After confirming that Lin Qingxuan was fine, Chen Zhihe patted her on the head and said with a smile.

"Okay." Lin Qingxuan nodded and smiled, and followed Chen Zhihe into the house.

Seeing Chen Zhihe come back, Father Chen got up and said, "Come upstairs with me to carry the fireworks."

Lin Qingxuan wanted to follow, but was stopped by Chen Ma: "Let them go, the little girl's family, how can they do this job."

Go up to the utility room on the third floor and turn on the light.

Father Chen didn't move things immediately, but looked at Chen Zhihe and asked, "Did Ruan Mi call?"

Chen Zhihe nodded, but did not speak.

Father Chen shook his head and said, "She's a good girl too. Is that why she didn't come back with you?"

Chen Zhihe hummed.

Father Chen sighed and said, "Then what happened to Xiao Lin?"

Chen Zhihe had no choice but to tell the truth: "I originally planned to go back alone, but Qingxuan came back suddenly. She said that a relative in her family had a happy event at the end of the year and needed to come back, and then we came back together."

The amount of information in this passage is a bit large, and Dad Chen pondered for a long time before he came up with some meaning.

"So, you didn't think about bringing her back, and then your mother misunderstood, so you went with the flow?"

Chen Zhihe nodded and said yes.

Father Chen asked again: "Then she told you that it was a relative's happy event, is it fake?"

During the time she stayed in Chen's house, Lin Qingxuan never went out alone.

Chen Zhihe still nodded and said yes.

Father Chen looked at Chen Zhihe for a long time and was speechless.

Can Lin Qingxuan be blamed for this?
Obviously not.

She probably just wanted to come back to see Chen Zhihe, but in the end she was brought back as Ruan Mi's substitute. Speaking of which, she was the one who was hurt the most.

"These two boxes of fireworks, you can move them down." Father Chen said calmly, pointing to the stacked fireworks in the corner.

Ok?
Chen Zhihe froze for a moment, shook his head helplessly, walked over and picked up two boxes of fireworks.

"If you are strong, then take more." Father Chen said meaningfully.

Chen Zhihe grinned, didn't speak, and walked downstairs with the fireworks in his arms.

At home, Father Chen was basically not very angry with Chen Zhihe. Even if he got into trouble when he was a child, it was mainly Mother Chen who taught him, and Father Chen was often just a spectator.

But this time, Chen Zhihe knew that his father was really angry.

Even so, he just expressed his dissatisfaction with him in this way.

After all, there is an old saying in Fengshan that you don't need a heavy hammer to beat the drum, and he knew that Chen Zhihe understood what he meant.

Seeing the appearance of the father and son coming down, Chen Ma guessed something, but didn't say anything.

Lin Qingxuan hurried over to open the door.

After Chen Zhihe finished setting up the fireworks, everyone in the room came outside the door.

Looking at the time, it was almost 12 o'clock. Dad Chen took out the lighter and lit the fuse of the fireworks.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The fireworks rushed into the sky one by one, the sky was full of gold for a while, and the sky was full of red again for a while.

Between flickering and flickering, it shines on people's faces, flickering and flickering.

Lin Qingxuan put her hands on her chest, with hope in her eyes, as if she was praying for something.

Fireworks burn out.

"Happy New Year!"
