growing up

Since this morning, he has been busy all the time, and Ling Chao has not contacted Gu Yuan, thinking that their family is smaller than his own, and he doesn't know how their New Year's Eve is going.

Ling Chao raised his eyebrows and showed his father the phone interface before smiling and leaning against the pool to connect. Before he could speak in a hurry, he heard Gu Qingqing's voice from over there.

"Brother Ling Chao, Happy New Year's Eve!"

Ling Chao didn't expect it to be her, he was a little surprised and immediately said to the phone: "Qingqing is also having fun."

"Brother Ling Chao, when are you going back to City D? After the Chinese New Year, I will live in the city with my mother and brother." Gu Qingqing's voice is still like a child who hasn't grown up, sweet and crisp, if she doesn't understand, Can't believe she's a girl with a serious heart condition.

"I, I haven't decided yet." Ling Chao said in a drawn-out voice.

"Then will you come early? My mother also said that she would treat you to dinner." Gu Qingqing said.

"Ah? Auntie, don't be so polite." Ling Chao said.

"I want it, I didn't thank you well during the operation before——Okay, I won't tell you anymore, my brother is staring at me," Gu Qingqing's voice suddenly became very small, as if to use Covering his hands, he said, "Brother Ling Chao, I hope you and brother will be together forever."

Although Ling Chao knew that Gu Qingqing knew about his relationship with Gu Yuan, he felt a little embarrassed listening to her blessings on the phone.

"Thank you Qingqing, that brother also hopes that you can take good care of your illness and be happy and healthy."

"Well. Then you talk to my brother." Qingqing changed the phone after finishing talking.

"Brother Chao." Gu Yuan's voice came.

It is less than 24 hours since the person who made the video last night, hearing his voice now still makes Ling Chao miss him very much.

"Well, have you eaten yet?" Ling Chao glanced at his father and saw that he was staring at him with a smile in his eyes. He thought to go further away to pick it up, so as not to be laughed at by his father again later.

"Just after eating, Qingqing is going to set off fireworks. I will accompany her to the village store to buy them. I just left." Gu Yuan's voice was relaxed, as if he was walking slowly and chatting.

"We've just finished eating, and I'm still washing the dishes." Ling Chao went out of the kitchen, looked at the three people in the living room, and turned to go up to the second floor.

"Are you so diligent at home?" Gu Yuan knew that Ling Chao had hardly done any housework since he was a child, so he asked in disbelief.

Ling Chao walked three or two steps to the room specially reserved for him on the second floor. He opened the door and turned on the light. Hearing Gu Yuan's words, he said a little unconvinced, "What? Don't I wash the dishes by myself every day in D City?"

"Yes." Gu Yuan stretched the elder with one syllable, and couldn't help laughing.

Listening to the familiar laughter on the phone, Ling Chao seemed to see Gu Yuan by his side. This was the first New Year since they dated, but they were separated by more than 2000 kilometers.

For some reason, it suddenly occurred to me that after the college entrance examination, maybe the distance between them would become tens of thousands of kilometers, and the moment of joy was inexplicably sad.

Yesterday when he accompanied his parents to buy clothes and gifts for his grandparents, he met Zeng Fei. They chatted for a while, and after talking to his mother on the way here this morning, he didn't have any special feelings before, but Now, after hearing Gu Yuan's voice, he felt a little confused in his heart.He sighed silently, pushed out those things that shouldn't be considered now, went to the bed and lay back, and said to the phone: "Baby, do you miss me?"

There was silence for a while, but no one answered.

"Are you still there?" Ling Chao asked again.

"Yes." The answer was quite quick this time.

"I miss you a lot." Ling Chao turned over, lay down on his stomach, and put the mobile phone on the bed with a foreign voice.

"Brother Chao, how about..." Gu Yuan paused, his tone became much slower, "You should come here early."

The corners of Ling Chao's mouth turned up unconsciously, he knew that Gu Yuan was answering the question before him.

"It's over ahead of time, why don't you go and serve me? I don't know how to cook, and Aunt Chen won't be here until school starts."

"Yes." Gu Yuan said.

"That's fine," Ling Chao turned sideways, resting his head on his arm, "tell me a time, and I'll listen to you."

Ling Chao's words are serious. They stayed with their grandparents until the fifth day of the lunar new year. Dad and mom will start working. Dad has also scheduled a trip to New Zealand on the seventh day of the lunar new year. Mom will be alone in the country It's even busier.Because of this, the aunt in the family was given an early leave, and had to come back early after the year, otherwise no one would take care of Ling Chao.

He went back to school early, so there must be no problem with his mother. He had no such plan before, but now that Gu Yuan mentioned it, his heart has already started to fly to D City.

"My mother is going to start the job on the eighth day of the eighth day, so we went back to the city on the seventh day. This time Qingqing will go with us, and my mother asked someone to get her to Qingyang Junior High School near our school." Gu Yuan said the reason .

"That's fine, I'll discuss it with my mother, and I'll tell you when I book the ticket." Ling Chao said.

"Ah..." Gu Yuan was a little surprised, he just said it casually, but Ling Chao's tone sounded serious.

After he came back, his mother told him that he wanted to tell Ling Chao when he returned to the city early, but it was just that the Chinese New Year was coming, and it would not be easy for Ling Chao to go back now, so he just said it out of his head.There is no rush to take it back now.

"Ah, what? I didn't plan to do it before, but now I do." Ling Chao heard Gu Qingqing talking to Gu Yuan about the fireworks he wanted on the phone, and he guessed that they should have arrived at the commissary, so he didn't regret it to Gu Yuan. By the side of the phone, he said, "That's it. You can spend time with your sister first. I'm going to set off fireworks. I don't know if Dad has washed the rest of the dishes. I won't I've told you about it, let's talk about it later."

"Okay, please help me ask my grandparents, uncles and aunts." Gu Yuan said.

"Success, and you too." Ling Chao hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

He picked up his phone and stared at the blacked-out screen for a few seconds, then stood up straight.After thinking about how he should talk to his mother, he went downstairs.

Dad was quite loyal, and he continued to wash the dishes before he came down again, and did the two tasks that hadn't been cleaned before-he was talking with Grandpa and the others on the sofa at the moment.

"Hey, Xiao Chao is here, let's go to the roof to set off fireworks. It's also getting dark." Grandpa greeted Ling Chao as soon as he saw Ling Chao's figure.

"Okay." Everyone replied.

In the afternoon, Dad and Ling Chao went to buy two big boxes of fireworks and came back.The elderly in their family are more fond of fireworks than the young, which is a must-have item every year.When I used to live in the city, I used to drive to the designated place of the government to release it. Now my grandfather and the others don't care much about it, so they are free.

On one side of the top floor are flowers and vines planted by grandma, and on the other side, a balcony is specially set up.Usually, grandma keeps everything clean, and she can come up and sit around to drink tea and barbecue at any time.There is an open space in front of the stage, where they set off fireworks.

"Come, come, light one of the big firework cannons first." Grandpa pointed to the two biggest ones in the box and said, "Just those two, save one for New Year's Eve, and light one now."

Ling Chao took out the fireworks and put them on the ground according to his grandfather's instructions. His mother handed him a long lighter, and he took it to light the fuse and retreated to his family.

Sparks flickered, and the finger-long lead was shortened with a buzzing sound, and finally sank into the box.White smoke billowed up, and a few seconds later, a beam of flame shot up into the sky, exploded and blossomed after traveling more than ten meters.A dazzling firework bloomed.

Before one flower dissipated, another came one after another, and the dark sky was illuminated for a while.

I don't know if it was their family that drove the surrounding area, and the roofs of several houses not far away also joined the team of setting off fireworks.The fireworks in the box didn't last long, but the previously quiet night became lively.

The family members all had festive smiles on their faces, and everyone started to set off their favorite fireworks later.Laughter, the sound of firecrackers one after another, what a lively scene.

After ordering a few, Ling Chao sat on the balcony, watching his grandparents playing like old children with great joy.My mother was snuggling beside my father, holding a firework with all four hands together.

The happiness of the family infected Ling Chao, and this kind of happy family scene has become less and less common in recent years.But at least they are still living a healthy life, as long as they have the heart, there will always be time to get together.

Ling Chao picked up his phone and took a short video of the fireworks display and sent it to Gu Yuan. When he just put down the phone, Gu Yuan sent a video request.

Ling Chao agreed, turned the phone to himself, and saw the scene on Gu Yuan's side.

Gu Yuan's face just flashed before he turned to the rear camera - they were also setting off fireworks, and the white snow made it much brighter.Gu Yuan's mother is bringing Qing Qing's cold sparks to the ground.

Neither of them spoke, Ling Chao didn't turn the camera, his face flickered in the darkness illuminated by the fireworks.

Ling Chao kept laughing, with frowned eyes, looking at the family in front of him, and at Gu Yuan's family on the phone.After several minutes like this, Gu Yuan turned back to the camera.

The environment on both sides is very noisy. If they want to talk, they can't hear clearly.

But even if they didn't say anything, just holding the phone and looking at each other made them feel very comfortable.

The fireworks around are still going on, one south and one north, one cold and one warm.They looked at each other as if they were together at this moment.

My heart was pounding, and from a distance of more than 2000 kilometers, with the figure on the screen, without words to tell, I saw the soul I liked in my eyes.

Ling Chao secretly made up his mind that in this life, no matter what he will experience in the future, he will never let go of Gu Yuan lightly.

This person, he wants to decide!
