Chinese New Year...

This is the first time for Zhao Chuxi to celebrate the New Year in another place so far. Without the hustle and bustle of Fenghuang Village, it is full of loneliness and loneliness. Zhao Chuxi knows that he may be the same as this moment every year in the future, until one day he can live straight Returning home with his waist down and his head up, perhaps that time was considered the last small consummation. He kept imagining what it was like at that moment, and felt that it was even better than winning 500 million.

Standing on the top of the dozens-storey building of the International Mansion, looking around, the whole city became a sea of ​​fireworks. The fireworks of different sizes and colors bloomed perfectly in the night sky, lighting up the whole city. Zhao Chuxi knew that the price of the fireworks was not high. Fei, cursing and saying how rich he is.He likes to watch fireworks very much, but unfortunately, he has seen them so many times in his life that he can count on his hands. Before, there was no such thing as fireworks in Fenghuang Village, until the richest Heizi's family in the village got some from Qilian County. Nian Heizi's family would set off fireworks every New Year's Eve. That was the happiest time for the children in the village. Although there was only a little bit, Zhao Chuxi was no exception.Later, I saw Xiao Ping'an twice when he was seeing a doctor in Qilian County. In particular, once the richest man in Qilian County celebrated his mother's [-]th birthday and set off fireworks for half an hour. Even so, when the fireworks show ended, Zhao Chuxi and Xiaopingan were still reluctant to leave. Hearing that there might be more, they waited in a daze for half an hour. After everyone had left, Zhao Chuxi reluctantly returned to the hospital with Xiaopingan on his back.

Zhao Chuxi stood on the top of the building and waited until he could no longer see the fireworks before going downstairs. The Spring Festival Gala on TV had come to an end. After thinking about it, Zhao Chuxi finally decided to call Li Qingyi.In Fenghuang Village, in Li Qingyi's dilapidated dormitory where the wind blows everywhere, on the table are the New Year's food sent by the villagers, bacon, sausage, melon seeds, candies, pickled fish, etc. Compared with Daxi'an, Fenghuang Village is very quiet, it seems to be similar to As usual, except for the occasional sound of mischievous firecrackers from children, there is also the smell of gunpowder left in the air when firecrackers are set off at twelve o'clock.It will no longer be like Li Qingyi, who was wearing new clothes during the Chinese New Year when he was a child, sitting quietly at the table and reading a book. The "Glory and Dream" in Manchester was delivered by someone. There are four empty boxes in the corner of the house, which are full of books. The three boxes of books were left by Zhao Chuxi before he left. These three boxes of books were the relics of the old monk, and the remaining box was brought by her. Every time he needed any books or urgent needs, Li Qingyi would give them to Beijing. A certain woman called, and the item was delivered to Qilian County, and she traveled a long distance to Qilian County to pick it up.

In the past, Li Qingyi had already fallen asleep at this time, and her work and rest were very regular, just like Zhao Chuxi, the powerful men and women lived their lives very regularly, and would run around the village twice every morning. The habit of going for a walk in the morning is learned from her.When the phone rang dull and boring, Li Qingyi smiled slightly. She had been waiting for Zhao Chuxi to call, and this time the phone rang only twice in the whole night. It took a long time to be comforted by her, this time I don't need to guess who it is.

It's a pity that Li Qingyi guessed wrong this time, because the voice on the phone was unusually old and weak, thick and slow but thick and simple, Li Qingyi instantly thought of who it was, with a look of surprise on his face.

"Girl, grandpa has been waiting for you all night, and you are reluctant to call grandpa?" In the study of a courtyard in Liumeng Street, Beijing, a certain old man with gray hair and wrinkled face trembled. He said tremblingly, there were still several men and women of different ages standing in the room, not daring to show their air, the old man just got angry and wanted to drive them out.

Li Qingyi has been brewing for a long time, holding the phone tightly, and said softly like a little girl, "Grandpa, the girl is afraid of being scolded by you, so I dare not call you."

"Why is my great-grandpa willing to scold you? It's been two years. My great-grandfather has been waiting for your call for two years. You just left without saying a word. You go and teach you to speak to your great-grandfather. If your great-grandfather nods, who dares to disagree?" said The old man raised his head slightly and glanced at the group of people in front of him from the corner of his eye. His eyes made people shudder, with a solemn murderous look. He joined the army in [-] and now, it is considered a lifetime of service.

"Grandpa, are you angry?" Li Qingyi whispered.

"Angry, why are you so angry? Grandpa is proud of you. You are the pride of our Li family. Who in Beijing can have a daughter like you?" Be happy.

"Aren't you angry?" Li Qingyi said disapprovingly.

The old man stopped laughing suddenly, and replied like a child whose mind has been guessed, "I was angry at first, but I am not angry now. Don't blame Miss Sun, it was Grandpa who asked her to say it."

Li Qingyi pushed open the door and went straight outside. The night in Qilian Mountains is very cold, so cold that people can't help shivering. Standing here, you can see the white snow on the mountains in the distance. Li Qingyi suddenly laughed and said, "It's too cold." Grandpa, let’s not talk about this, I wish you a New Year’s greeting first, I wish you good health and live a younger life.”

The old man nodded with a smile, overjoyed, and said calmly, "I will be a hundred years old next year."

Li Qingyi could naturally hear the voice of the old man's words, and said softly, "Girl must go back."

"Okay, it's getting late, grandpa is going to rest, you should go to bed early, it's not as good as Beijing, take care of yourself" This is the answer the old man wanted, he hung up the phone contentedly, and then turned to the high seat in the study Everyone in weight said, "No one should look for her, she will come back when she should come back, do you hear me?"

A group of people looked at each other in blank dismay, no one would dare to disobey the old man's words...

After Li Qingyi made the phone call, she froze in place, speechless for a while, the old man loved her so much, next autumn would be the old man's [-]th birthday, and she would have to go back no matter what.At this moment, Zhao Chuxi from Xi'an City couldn't get through on the phone no matter how hard he tried. He felt a little disappointed and regretful, and finally gave up. Seeing that it was getting late, he decided to go to bed. On the night of the New Year's Eve, it was absolutely safe.In Fenghuang Village, Li Qingyi continued to read after returning. This time, she didn't wait for the phone to ring and went to bed at two o'clock.

On the first day of the new year, Zhao Chuxi woke up at the right time. He inspected the construction site as usual, and there was nothing unusual. He was the only one left on the construction site and could not go for a walk under the city wall. He could only stay on the construction site and read books and newspapers obediently.When Han Sanqiang came back at noon, Han Sanqiang left with a pile of food, and when he came back, he still carried a pile of food. He seemed to be in a good mood. Zhao Chuxi reckoned that the father and son got along well when they went back last night. Zhao Chuxi took it He ate the thing in his hand unceremoniously, and Han Sanqiang said casually, "He quit drinking."

Zhao Chuxi was taken aback for a moment, and said unexpectedly, "This is a good thing, no matter what hobby is to the extreme, it will hurt the soul and the body."

Han Sanqiang smiled resentfully, smoking a cigarette and replied, "He never told me. It has been two and a half months since I went home last time. If I hadn't asked him to drink and he wouldn't drink last night, maybe I would never have known about it. Compared with before, he is tougher, now he is the gatekeeper of our community, he talked with me a lot last night, and said that his biggest wish now is to let me get married and have children as soon as possible.”

"Father and son have no hurdles they can't overcome. I will go home often, talk to him, and see you. I think he is happier than anything else." Zhao Chuxi looked up with a pig's trotter in his hand and smiled.

Han Sanqiang snuffed out the cigarette butt and laughed at himself, "Brother Zhao, I, Han Sanqiang, have always felt that I was unlucky all my life. I don’t know if you really think of me as a brother. To be honest, I don’t think I’m worthy of letting you say the word brother. I’m not as fat as Er Fat. In your words, I am as wise as a fool. But I, Han Sanqiang, swear that I will always worthy of being your brother one day"

Last night, I talked too much with the alcoholic father who drank for most of his life, which had a great impact on him. Han Sanqiang was even more determined to change himself. He knew that if he hadn't met Zhao Chuxi, he would still be the same now. A jerk, eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles and bullies men and women.

Zhao Chuxi put down his trotters, wiped his hands and smiled, "Do you have a target now?"

"Yes," Han Sanqiang said firmly.

Zhao Chuxi nodded and said, "It's good to have a goal, otherwise, no matter how determined you are, you may lose your way."

On the morning of the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, an unexpected visitor suddenly came to the construction site. In the past, if she came, Zhao Chuxi would not be surprised, but today she came to the construction site, and Zhao Chuxi would not be surprised. This unexpected visitor was Qin Yan.Han Sanqiang and He Ping looked at each other, and they looked at Zhao Chuxi with ill intentions. Zhao Chuxi glared at them, took what Qin Yan was holding and put it on the table. Han Sanqiang deliberately joked, "Secretary Qin , I haven’t seen you for a few days, you have become beautiful again, do you have any friends who are single and unmarried, please introduce them to me, don’t worry, don’t think that I can’t achieve anything now, but I have a heart to fight.”

"Okay, if there is one, I'll let you know as soon as possible." Qin Yanjiao, who was wearing a gray close-fitting down jacket, said with a smile.

Zhao Chuxi turned his head angrily and cursed, "Go away!"

Fearing that these two guys would make trouble again, Zhao Chuxi took Qin Yan out of the concierge and walked into the construction site, and said with a smile, "Secretary Qin, you are not at home to celebrate the New Year, why are you running to the construction site?"

Qin Yan is a little thin, with long hair fluttering and very temperament. The word quiet and quiet can describe her. Hearing that Zhao Chuxi was still calling her Secretary Qin, Qin Yan said a little unhappy, "Zhao Chuxi, Secretary Qin is calling you no Uncomfortable? Just call me Qin Yan."

"Qin Yan..." Zhao Chuxi felt that calling Qin Yan was more uncomfortable, but he could only bite the bullet and call.

"I hate visiting relatives during Chinese New Year. Seven aunts and eight aunts would ask me if I have a boyfriend, what job I do now, how much my monthly salary is, and a series of endless questions. I couldn't take it anymore, so I ran out. I went somewhere, and finally thought of you, so I ran here." Qin Yan explained in this way, which seemed reasonable.

Zhao Chuxi was a little ashamed and said, "Is it so scary?"

"I'll let you experience it when I have a chance," Qin Yan said with a sly smile.

There was no one on the empty construction site, and the two of them stopped walking when they reached the basement of the building. Qin Yan asked intentionally, "Zhao Chuxi, I heard you still have a part-time job?"

"Working as a security guard at a bathing center on Xiying Road." Zhao Chuxi nodded, not knowing how Qin Yan knew.

"Aren't you tired of having two jobs?" Qin Yan asked suspiciously, she felt that she had reached her limit with one job, and it was unbelievable for Zhao Chuxi to have two jobs.

Zhao Chuxi shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, as long as I can earn money, I won't be tired."

Qin Yan said with some incomprehension, "Is earning money so important? What do you want so much money for?"

Zhao Chuxi's face changed slightly, and his eyes were sad and he said, "I used to think that I needed so much money for what, but one day when you need money, you will realize how terrible it is to have no money, and all your previous opinions will be overturned. , so I have to earn money, this cannot happen again”

Qin Yan still didn't understand. Her family environment meant that she would not understand Zhao Chuxi's life. If life could really be muddled along, why did Zhao Chuxi make himself so hard?Perhaps only when Qin Yan experienced this situation herself, would she understand.

Qin Yan stared at Zhao Chuxi for a long time before saying, "Maybe."

Just wondering, what's the story of this man?

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Hu Feng, who returned to his hometown in northern Shaanxi for the New Year, returned to the construction site. After a few days of ordinary life, Zhao Chuxi started to get busy again. Er Fatty and the old lady who had left Xi'an for ten days had not yet returned. Zhao Chuxi arranged the construction site In the evening, I went to Shanshuiqing to report and go to work. I didn’t see Shanshuiqing and these people for a few days, but I missed them.

The number of people on the bus began to increase again, but there was still a gap compared to before. After Shanshuiqing, Zhao Chuxi was used to entering through the back door, but just after arriving at the back door, he ran into Ding Ge and No. 38 again. There was a lot of quarreling and flirting. Zhao Chuxi wanted to avoid suspicion, but in the end, seeing that the situation had deteriorated, he had to bite the bullet and show up.
