Chapter 183 Nothing
New Year's Eve is a day for every family and family reunion.

Aunt Song also went home to reunite with her son.

Shi Shi and Xia Guoli sat face to face, although Xia Guoli was thinking about talking to this child.However, after so many years, he didn't know how to speak.The indifference and estrangement for so many years are not fake.

The dinner was not very rich, Shi Shi couldn't cook, and Xia Guoli had limited mobility.Aunt Song cooked this dish and put it in the refrigerator, and they took it out and heated it up.Because they don't care much about this reunion dinner, there are not many hot dishes.Shi Shi only picked out a few dishes that Xia Guoli liked to eat and heated them up, since no one was there, what's the point of having a reunion.Xia Guoli saw it, and wanted to ask Shi Shiduo to reheat her favorite dish, but then remembered that she never seemed to show any particular liking or dislike for that dish.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was deserted, neither of them spoke, only the slight sound of tableware colliding and chewing.

After a long time, Xia Guoli said, "Turn on the TV."

Shi Shi did so, and sat back to his original place.

Xia Guoli hadn't watched TV for many years. He didn't know the characters that appeared on the TV. He wanted to stir up a topic, but he didn't know what to say.

Shi Shi didn't speak either. She didn't stay here for the Spring Festival, nor did she have the New Year's Eve dinner with Uncle Xia face to face like now.In the past, on New Year's Eve, she would go back to city B and buy a meal by herself.A scene like today, since Xia Tian passed away, she has never thought about it, nor did she dare to think about it.The reunion with her family is too extravagant and precious to her.

The two finished their meal in silence, and Xia Guoli pushed his wheelchair upstairs as usual.

Shi Shi stayed and washed the dishes.After thinking about what Aunt Song said before she left, she picked up the couplet she put on the table.In the past, Aunt Song would give her a copy and ask her to bring it to the house.Every time, she smiled and shook her head, because she was the only one in city A, and she had no family, so it was really unnecessary.This time, she went to the window and put up the window grilles.Go to the door again and paste the couplets.

She looked at it for a while, and touched the pasted couplets with her fingertips.Eyebrows curved, smiled.

Just at this moment, the wind picked up and the leaves rustled.Shi Shi didn't leave, but sat down at the door, legs bent, arms wrapped around his knees, watching the night scene outside by himself.It gets dark very early in winter, even if they eat earlier, the night has already shrouded in darkness.The sky seemed to have been smeared with thick ink, and there was not a single scum in the black ground.There are no stars, no moon, nothing in the sky.On New Year's Eve, there was no moon.

Next to this small villa, there are no other houses.At the beginning, I bought this house because I took a fancy to its quietness.At this moment, Shi Shi was wondering if she had done something wrong. In this way, how lonely Uncle Xia would be, with no one to chat with and relieve his boredom.However, no one could answer her question.After staying outside for a long time, Shi Shi closed the door.

She didn't know that there was a figure in front of the bed on the second floor who had been watching her.When Shi Shi entered, Xia Guoli didn't look back.

After so many years, he almost forgot that Spring Festival couplets need to be posted during the Chinese New Year.
