The rice balls of Yu Juan and Chen Hua were busy until the New Year's Eve.

Their rice balls were sold at 4 yuan each at the beginning, and then 5 or 6 yuan, but they were still in short supply. The two of them worked tirelessly for more than ten days.

On the New Year's Eve, Jiang Xue and Liu Qinglin started frying meatballs and fish in the house rented by Liu Qinglin in the morning. They were busy all morning and came back covered in snow.

As soon as Yu Juan came back, she immediately took off her heavy clothes and went to the kitchen to help Jiang Xue. Chen Hua took Yu Juan's clothes and put them away for her.

"Is there anyone else at the train station?" Liu Qinglin asked.

"There are not many people here now, but I saw on the news that many migrant workers in G province have given up their houses and are going home for the New Year because of factory layoffs. Some have been stranded at the train station for more than ten days." Chen Hua said.

"The weather this year is too cold." Liu Qinglin sighed.

"Yes, experts say it is the coldest year in 30 years." Chen Hua replied.

"Many people's crops have frozen to death, and the disasters in various places are quite serious. I saw the news at the station that some areas have been cut off from water and electricity due to the snowstorm, and there is no way to light. Then a candle is sold at a high price of dozens of yuan, and a family has to celebrate the New Year around a candle. It's so pitiful."

"Alas, natural disasters and man-made disasters are unavoidable." Liu Qinglin sighed and said.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little heavy.

"Let's not talk about this, live your own life." After Chen Hua finished speaking, he also wanted to go into the kitchen to help wash vegetables, but was driven out by Yu Juan.

Looking back at Jiang Xue, she hurriedly said, "It's too cold. He has been riding a motorcycle recently and his hands are frozen, so we don't let him get wet."

Jiang Xue glanced at the two of them and said, "Oh." Her tone was meaningful.

"We don't have anything..."

"I didn't say anything." Jiang Xue said.

"Why is your face red?" Jiang Xue asked again.

"Don't say it!!" Yu Juan said a little angrily,

"You are almost ready. It seems that there is no place for me to use my skills. I'm leaving." After saying that, she left in a panic.

Jiang Xue smiled and asked the other two people in the living room to clean up the table and prepare for lunch.

After lunch, several people sat around the table to play mahjong prepared by Chen Hua.

After playing mahjong, they played cards.

In the evening, they fried a few more dishes and drank some wine.

The New Year atmosphere was also warm at the table with only four people.

After dinner, Yu Juan kneaded the dough, Jiang Xue mixed the stuffing, and the four chatted while making dumplings for tomorrow morning.

"Halfway through, Jiang Xue heard the sound of fireworks outside, and then she remembered that she had bought fireworks in the trunk of the car, and urged the others to make them faster.

Let the two boys move the fireworks to the top floor first.

Jiang Xue and Yu Juan wore hats, scarves and gloves, and went out fully armed.

Jiang Xue also brought her own camera.

Yu Juan helped her hold the camera stand.

They set off fireworks, played with fairy sticks, made snowmen, jumped on the snow, and smiled cheerfully at the fireworks background. Jiang Xue pressed the shutter to help them record everything.

The four also took group photos with the stand.

Liu Qinglin also helped Jiang Xue and Yu Juan take a lot of photos people.

As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, Liu Qinglin also lit the two largest fireworks prepared by Jiang Xue.

It was as if a switch was suddenly turned on, and fireworks were set off everywhere around them.

They stood on the top floor, and fireworks bloomed all around them.

The fireworks were gorgeous, roaring, and shocking.

After a few years, the prohibition of burning and setting off fireworks began, and such scenes would never be seen again.

The four of them stopped talking and looked at the beautiful scenery in front of them quietly.

A shout came from the top floor next door, and several boys shouted as if no one was around: Happy New Year.

Regardless of whether it was midnight, Jiang Xue shouted back.

"Happy New Year!!"

The other three people present also imitated Jiang Xue and shouted Happy New Year.

At this time, the air was still cold, but the heart was hot.

After twelve o'clock, the fireworks became less, and the four took all the garbage down, threw it away, and returned to the warm room.

It was almost dawn, but no one was sleepy.

Chen Hua said: "Do you want to eat dumplings?"

"Yes! "The three of them answered at the same time.

Then Yu Juan started to cook dumplings.

They worked until a little after 1 a.m., and then they returned to the room to prepare for bed.

It was late, so Jiang Xue didn't go home, and she squeezed into Yu Juan's bed.

There were only two of them in the room, and Jiang Xue asked curiously: "Tell me, what's going on between you and Chen Hua?" The atmosphere between the two of them was a bit strange today, both ambiguous and alienated.

In short, anyone can see

It turns out that the relationship between the two is not normal.

"What's going on? We have nothing to do with each other," Yu Juan answered stubbornly.

"Oh? Nothing to do with each other?"

Yu Juan hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but said: "What do you think of Chen Hua?"

"To be honest, I'm not very familiar with him, but he and my brother grew up together and have played together for so many years. My brother still trusts him so much, so he shouldn't be a bad person."

"He... He suddenly said that he likes me and wants me to be his girlfriend..." Yu Juan was entangled, but still told Jiang Xue what happened.

"What about you?"

"What do you mean by me..."

"Do you like him?" Yu Juan did not answer Jiang Xue's question, but said in a slightly depressed mood: "I refused."

"Is it because you don't like him?" Jiang Xue raised her own question.

"No, I feel that I shouldn't fall in love now."

"Huh?" Jiang Xue looked at her curiously.

"I used to think of marriage as a second chance to reincarnate. Even now, I still think that dating is a preparation for marriage, but I don't want to get married now, let alone have children. During this period, I don't contact my family, don't send money to my family, and I'm with you. There is no endless work in the factory, and I don't have to worry about what kind of person I will marry in the future. This is the most relaxing time for me. I want to work hard for myself as you said to me before."

"Although I haven't married, I know that many things will not be up to me after marriage, so I rejected him." When Yu Juan said these words, her expression was solemn and affirmative, and it can be seen that she made the decision after careful consideration.

"Learning to refuse decisively is actually a great progress, but for some unavoidable variables and bad things in the future, keep confidence and be prepared, instead of directly killing them by avoiding everything from happening. You can do it according to your own plan. Choose a comfortable lifestyle that you like. If you want it, say YES, and if you refuse, say NO, don't feel burdened."

"Yeah!" Yu Juan nodded as if she understood.

"Xiaoxue... that..." Yu Juan hesitated to speak.

"You say."

"I heard from your brother that you found the book he is reading now. You read a lot. Can you help me choose some books that are suitable for me now? I feel that I don't understand a lot of things..."

"Of course, I will give it to you in a few days."

Before going to bed, Jiang Xue looked at her mobile phone. Some people she knew sent her New Year's greetings in the early morning.

There were Zhao Lin, Jiang Xinyi, and Tian Yuan, the makeup artists of the studio.

Jiang Xue replied to them one by one.

She turned off the phone and fell asleep.
