New Year's Eve.

He Yue lingered at home for a long time, but still went to Jiang Manyue early in the morning as Yan said.

For Chinese people, Chinese New Year is more important than anything else.

Taxis were particularly expensive today and an extra twenty yuan was charged. He Yue held the money in her hand and bargained with the driver. Finally, Yin Rou, who came out to pick her up, came over, slapped down twenty yuan, and took He Yue home.

"Why are you arguing with him? Twenty is twenty. Have you spent all the five hundred yuan I gave you?" Yin Rou looked back at He Yue's new clothes. "Did you spend dozens of yuan on this?"

Without waiting for He Yue to answer, she curled her lips and turned into the room.

He Yue stood in her new home, not daring to move. She could only look around with her bright eyes, and she would exclaim in admiration at every glance.

I can only say that there is really no comparison between my hometown and here. The new house has bright windows and clean tables, sunlight pours in, and the house is very transparent.

Grandpa was busy in the kitchen and hadn't noticed Heyue coming.

After saying hello, He Lang sat back on the sofa to watch TV, holding a chocolate bar in his hand and biting it happily.

After a while, Yin Rou and He Jiashen walked out of the room with two bags in their hands.

"You try it, especially this pair of shoes. If the size is not right for me, you have to exchange them." Yin Rou still spoke in a somewhat stiff tone.

This time, Yin Rou did not choose any bright red or green colors. The light goose yellow color of the down jacket set off He Yue's fair skin.

After putting on her clothes, He Yue felt a little embarrassed for some reason. She tried on her shoes again under their gaze and whispered, "It fits just right."

He Lang looked over at some point and said, "Sister, you look so beautiful in this outfit!"

Yin Rou was also proud. She glanced at He Jiashen and said, "See? She has loved running without shoes since she was a child. Her feet have grown bigger. Fortunately, she didn't listen to you, otherwise they would be smaller."

He Jiashen scratched his head and muttered, "I bought her a size 36 before."

"You haven't grown taller. Look how big your belly has become?" As he said that, he patted He Jiashen's beer belly, making He Lang laugh happily.

The back and forth between Yin Rou and He Jiashen put an end to the previous awkwardness.

"Sister, eat potato chips!" He Lang's hands were greasy, and he threw the bag of potato chips, and all the crumbs flew out. Yin Rou just called out a name, but then she realized that it was not good to scold people today because it was New Year's Day, so she nodded He Lang's head and said, "Eat less, grandpa is cooking delicious food."

"I can smell it! There's braised pork!"

He Jiashen was amused by his mischievous look. He whispered to him, "Dad also bought abalone, eight-head abalone."

"What is eight heads? Does abalone have eight heads?"

He Yue walked into the kitchen amid their discussion and rolled up her sleeves familiarly: "Grandpa, is there anything I can do for you?"

Fish was stewing on a stove in the kitchen, bubbling with fragrance.

It was the fish wrapped in meat that He Yue didn’t have time to eat that night.

"What are you doing on New Year's Eve? Go out and watch TV." Yin Rou shouted at her while wearing an apron.

Grandpa also said, "Go watch TV. There are a lot of snacks on the table. Eat some first."

He Yue was driven out of the kitchen. When she turned around, she saw that He Lang had already left a seat in the middle for her. He was blinking his eyes, expecting her to sit over.

This must be the familiar stranger. He Yue walked over and sat down, pinching the corner of her clothes. She licked her lips helplessly, not knowing where to put her hands.

Suddenly, He Jiashen next to him handed over a bottle of soda: "Your grandpa said that you and your friends like to drink this."

"Ah."

He Yue glanced at the snacks on the table. They were different from the ones Yin Rou and the others brought back from the capital. Sesame chips, White Rabbit milk candies... were all her favorites.

This time, I bought her real snacks.

He Yue thought that it must be because of the heavy kitchen fumes that made her want to cry.

"Sister, do you think Ultraman Tiga is handsome?" He Lang leaned forward while watching the TV. He Yue turned her head away, afraid that he would see the tears on her face: "I like Armor Hero."

Hearing He Yue say this, He Lang's mood of showing off his idol plummeted: "Ah——"

This meal was the most reunion and warmest meal we have had in recent years.

Grandpa stewed an old hen. Heyue and Helang each got a chicken leg. There were two chicken wings in grandpa's bowl, and chicken feet in Yin Rou's bowl.

He Jiashen retorted: "Why am I a chicken neck."

"Then do you want to eat chicken butt? Chicken butt is also delicious." Yin Rou said as she was about to pick some for him, but He Jiashen firmly refused.

"Dad, if you eat chicken neck, your neck won't be so short. This is called curing the shape with like." He Lang said very seriously.

"You brat."

He Lang glanced at He Yue with a smile. His sister was also smiling, but she lowered her head and her smile was very faint.

He Lang puffed out his chest proudly. See, men can learn how to coax their sisters without any instruction!

After finishing the meal, Yin Rou and the others were about to clean up the dishes and the table. He Jiashen took out a large bag of fireworks and handed it to He Lang: "You two go outside and set off the fireworks. Don't go too far."

"Okay!" He Lang happily took the fireworks.

After all, having lived here for a while, He Lang was already familiar with Jiang Manyue, so he greeted He Yue like a little adult, "Sister, come with me!"

-

The UK is seven hours behind China, but the flight takes ten hours.

Yue Zhou felt that he must be crazy. He didn't even wake up to sleep just to say Happy New Year to He Yue and then catch the earliest flight back. It would only take him ten minutes in total.

He waited anxiously until he arrived at Heyue's grandfather's house, only to learn from the neighbors that she had gone to Jiang Manyue: "Heyue's parents are back, and the whole family went to have a reunion dinner."

"Thank you auntie."

Reunion dinner.

Yue Zhou curled his eyebrows unconsciously. He Yue must be very happy now.

Fortunately, the two houses were quite close, and Yue Zhou suppressed his impatience and ran all the way over. The cold wind blew on his face, but he didn't feel cold at all.

Just as the last ray of sky shone across the horizon, Yue Zhou saw He Yue from afar in front of the traffic light at the intersection. Although it was just a vague outline, he was sure that it was He Yue.

The person next to her who is a head shorter than her should be her younger brother. He wanted to light the fireworks but was afraid, and it took him several attempts to light them.

It was not until this moment that Yue Zhou slowed down his pace. He waited for the traffic light, curled his lips and called He Yue.

He Yue glanced at her phone and picked up the call: "Hello?"

"it's me."

The sound of Yuezhou.

"I... know." He Yue's hand holding the phone tightened unconsciously.

Yue Zhou looked at the countdown of the traffic light and said, "I called you because I wanted to say Happy New Year to you." He paused, "But I think it's too insincere to just call you."

"Heyue, turn back."

"Happy New Year!"

He Yue didn't dare to pause for a moment and turned back, but the smile on her face was frozen.

The person behind the scenes is not Yue Zhou.

All the expectations and joy vanished at this moment. He Yue curled her lips and said, "Chen Song, why are you here?"
