i was my mistake

But it can still be seen from the large mouth shape.

That's when everyone was shouting 'Happy New Year'.

In the huge hustle and bustle, it makes people feel extraordinarily peaceful.

"Bang—crack—!"

"boom--!"

"Crash-"

The sound of fireworks and firecrackers became more and more intense, and everyone ignited them at this time, like countless cannons firing into the sky.

Wan Qing couldn't help but raised her head, her emerald green eyes reflected the continuous multicolored fireworks, they bloomed in the dark night to their heart's content, short but gorgeous.

Hua Yinyin ran to bring other fireworks, and with the help of her parents and Ye Chen's father who used to join in the fun, she lit a lot of fireworks.

It was originally planned to be released one by one, but now I still put a lot of them together.

It's like a fireworks display that never ends.

Wan Qing seemed to freeze, staring blankly at the sky.

Colorful fireworks bloom and fall, and new fireworks are added again.

Incessantly, endlessly.

"Shua Lala——"

"Hoo bang—!!"

Ye Chen seemed to be shouting something excitedly in her ear, but he couldn't hear it now.

Fireworks are beautiful.

What is even more beautiful is the festive atmosphere.

All those who set off fireworks at this time believe that next year will be equally lively.

But this is the same, repeated, lively scene that comes every year.

But there will be a day when it disappears.

—No matter how ordinary things are, they are worth cherishing.

……

101. Peaceful year after year

However, no matter how lively the fireworks are, there will be a time when the fireworks are set off, and the ground is a mess, full of cooled fireworks tubes.

The smell of gunpowder filled the air, and the sky was covered by a thick gray fog.

Sporadic, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers from a distance can still be heard.

These sounds will last for a whole night, so that the New Year's celebration will not end so abruptly - just like when listening to a song, the end of a song often does not stop abruptly, but fades away slowly.

Wan Qing took a deep breath of the sulfur-smelling air, feeling as if she had suddenly come alive from the stillness of time.

"Wow woof, woof woof—!" Finally, I could hear the voice from beside me.

Xiao Bai was running after the fireworks thrown by Hua Yinyin. Although he was limping, his speed was not slow.

"Happy New Year—Happy New Year!"

The voice was crystal clear.

"Happy New Year, Wan Qing, a new year, let's officially start our new life!"

"Why, have you decided to say goodbye to the old you?" Before Ye Chen could answer, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Oh, yes, Xiaoye Chen is gone, you don't want to say goodbye Goodbye."

"Hey... it sounds like you have something."

"Tsk, I don't have that worldly desire for a long time."

"...Shall we take a bath together today? You wash for me."

"Okay!" Wan Qing's eyes lit up immediately.

"...It is agreed that there will be no worldly desires anymore!"

"It's gone when I was an uncle, but I have it again after I become a beautiful girl."

"What? Rejuvenating will make you feel younger?"

"Of course." Wan Qing poked her head and said with a self-deprecating smile, "Human beings are such poor creatures, they are simply controlled by various body hormones."

"...Are you talking about a line from a cartoon?"

"Cough!" Wan Qing probably sensed that her tone just now was too mediocre, so she couldn't help being embarrassed, "It's over, shall we go back?"

"Let's play for a while, and there are little fireworks."

"That's right, I haven't finished putting out my second kicker." Wan Qing nodded, and glanced at the grass in the flower bed, "Oh, no."

"What are you looking for?"

"A mouse that came out to feed?"

"...And tie it to the second kicker and let it go up to heaven?"

"Yes."

"...Are you a cat..." Ye Chen looked helpless.

"According to the current identity information, I should be a sheep."

"You have nothing to do with squishy creatures like that."

"Who told you that sheep are fluffy? That thing is aggressive." Wan Qing squinted at her, lit her second leg, and watched it fly high into the sky.

When she was a child, this high-flying kicker was like a rocket belonging to her. In the child's imagination, that thing could rush into space and rush to the universe.

Every time I see it flying, I feel that my thoughts have also entered the vast ocean of stars.

Some people came out of the surrounding residential buildings. Although they had never met each other, they would smile and say hello and happy new year when they saw each other.

The distance between people's hearts doesn't seem that far away at this time.

After all the small fireworks were set off, Wan Qing woke up from the state of being immersed in her own world.

She raised her head in a daze, and at that moment, she even forgot where she was.

——For a moment, she thought she was celebrating the Spring Festival of [-].

Hua Yinyin and Xiao Bai had been playing around for a while, but now she fell asleep lying on top of it.

Xiaobai's size is not too big, no matter how petite Huayinyin is, it is a little heavy on her body.

However, Xiao Bai still carried her on his back without moving, but looked at Wan Qing as if asking for help, and wagged his tail vigorously at her.

"Why did she fall asleep here..." Ye Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are all children like this?"

"Anyway, she's a junior high school student. After summer, she'll be a sophomore..." Wan Qing felt helpless, "Where are her parents?"

"It's still there."

"...Are you in love with a couple?" Wan Qing couldn't help teasing again, and helped Hua Yinyin up from the dog's back.

Of course she didn't sleep soundly, but she was already in a daze.

For her, it was indeed too late at this point, and it would never be so late at ordinary times.

"Well……"

"Yinyin? Huayinyin?"

"Hoo... sleepy..."

"Go upstairs and sleep? Have you got the key?"

"There are... keys."

"Then I'll take you up." Wan Qing picked her up. Even though she was only a junior high school girl, she was a little heavy. Of course, it might be because her strength was too weak. "Ye Chen, come here." hug."

"...I thought you were going to hug it yourself."

"Cough, it's a bit heavy."

"Let me carry it, you put it on my back?"

"it is good."

Hua Yinyin, who was half asleep and half awake, was placed on Ye Chen's back, and she hugged Ye Chen's neck in a daze, causing her to roll her eyes: "Loosen up, loosen up, I'm about to be strangled to death by you. "

"I'll hold it behind, let's go quickly."

"Huh..." Ye Chen took a deep breath of the stale air, and greeted his father, "Dad, let's send her up, she's about to fall asleep."

"Okay, you guys go up first, I'll play cards with them all night later."

"them?"

"Haha, those neighbors I just met today."

"...Don't gamble, don't spend money carelessly." Wan Qing frowned.

"Don't worry, when did your father and I gamble money? At most, it's a small game of one or two points at a time."

"Well, let's go up then."

"Go." My father lit a firework stick with the cigarette in his mouth, held it up high, and shook it gently - not like something a big man would do.

But Wan Qing didn't laugh at anything, she thought, maybe this is a way to miss her dead wife - even though she just talked on the phone this evening.

The benefits of the elevator were manifested at this time. Basically, as long as you stand still, you can reach the eighth floor, and then walk a few steps on the flat ground, and you will arrive at the door of Huayinyin's house.

She was already sound asleep at the moment, Wan Qing fumbled for the key from her pocket to open the door.

The mess in her home was even worse than Wan Qing's.

The main reason is that the house is too small, and there are too many things, all of which are full, and there is really nowhere to put them.

It will inevitably look messy.

There were cardboard boxes everywhere, some empty, some folded in a pile, some with contents inside.

"It seems to be all milk..."

"Didn't she say that her house sells milk? It looks like it's a wholesale business. How come there are so many piles at home." Wan Qing turned on the light and pushed open the bedroom door.

"Probably all sent out directly? Without going through a middleman?"

"They themselves are middlemen..." She rolled her eyes and glanced at the bedroom.

The layout of the bedroom is also quite crowded. There are two bunk beds, one is full of luggage, and the other is full of clothes. Judging from the color of the bedding, the upper layer should be where Hua Yinyin slept. .

"Where is she going to do her homework?" Ye Chen felt that the room was exaggeratedly crowded.

"Here." Wan Qing pointed to the small table in the corner—to be honest, it was about the size of an A4 paper, and it seemed quite cramped.

"Is it really okay to study in this environment?"

"You'll probably be fine once you get used to it."

"Where do you want to put it?"

"Put it down first, be safe, and the rest, her parents should clean up when they come back."

"That's right." Ye Chen nodded, put her into the quilt of the lower bed, took off her shoes, and pushed those fleshy little feet in, "Is that all right?"

"Okay, let's go."

"Go back to the room, go to the room—tonight, right?"

"All night? There's nothing to do all night, and you can't play games all night."

"Reading, chatting, playing backgammon, watching TV! The TV station is playing continuously today."

"Oh, bring that color TV to the room to watch, it's just right..." Wan Qing nodded.

"By the way, there is also what my mother said, the lucky money!"

"That's what you're thinking about."
