The Sun of Rebirth

In a blink of an eye, it snowed intermittently this winter. My uncle called and said that they had gathered some New Year’s goods to send back. Since my uncle graduated and stayed in Beijing to start a family, he would send a lot of New Year’s goods back to his hometown every year. They have all gone, and the amount of New Year's goods has not diminished at all. On the contrary, it is Erbo's family, who basically have no contact with each other.Su Da watched the time and waited for a car from afar at dusk one day.

The small truck is full of packaged New Year’s goods, including authentic black pork and wild boar, lamb, beef, fresh and pickled are packed separately, and several kinds of processed salted fish , dry seafood, tea, grain wine, and up to ten boxes of imported fruits.

"Thank you for your hard work. Master, come in and have a cup of hot tea. It's not easy to drive on the freezing highway. I feel sorry for bothering you every year." Su Da welcomed the driver into the house and warmly welcomed him. Fragrant hot tea prepared earlier.Every year, my sister-in-law finds this sports car fellow to drive them to deliver New Year's goods.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, I still have to thank you guys for taking care of my business. Hurry up and tidy up the things you're going to bring tomorrow, and I'll come over at seven o'clock in the morning to stock up and return to the capital."

After exchanging pleasantries, Master drove home.Su Da hurriedly moved bags of things home, most of which were similar to the previous ones. When they received these new year's goods every year, Su Da and his son didn't have to buy anything, but these cured fish and bacon were enough for the two of them to finish next year In spring, even in summer.

Su Chaoyang just came back from training. His eyes lit up when he saw the mountains of things piled up at the door, and he hurriedly got out of the car to help move them: "Uncle and aunt are so kind." Besides his father, the people he respects the most are his uncle and his aunt, especially his uncle. If it weren't for him, he might not be able to recover after his father's early death.It was his uncle's patient comfort that allowed him to let go of the pain and go to a foreign country with him, where he received help and encouragement from his uncle everywhere, re-invested in learning, adapted to the new environment, worked hard, and later started his own business. concern.He didn't even care about his sexual orientation at all, but sincerely introduced someone to him. Unfortunately, until his uncle got old, he still couldn't find a partner.I still remember the uncle's sigh to him before he died, with thousands of arrows in his heart.

On the contrary, it was Erbo's family who didn't even come back to see off his father who died in a car accident.Later, they lived in different countries and never saw each other again.

"Fruit is what you like to eat. Don't waste it while it's fresh. Remember to bring some to school to share with your classmates and cultivate friendship with classmates." Su Da put all the fruits downstairs separately for easy access.

Su Chaoyang nodded, and stuffed a big red cherry into his mouth, thinking about taking the time to make some new year's goods with these materials, homemade meatballs, fish balls, and stuffed sausages are cleaner and more reliable than outside ones.

"Dad, you will cut a knife of fresh pork and go to the market to grind it, and then buy some dumpling wrappers. When I come back from get out of class, I will mix the stuffing and make dumplings."

"Okay, fresh meat dumplings are the best."

Su Chaoyang said again: "Is that household in the back street selling bean shreds and glutinous rice cakes this year? There are also salted mahua next to the elementary school and fresh vegetable sprouts. These uncles love to eat them very much. I can't leave them behind. Buy more and send them to them." .”

Su Da smiled: "Your uncle always loves these dishes every year. I will never forget them. I have prepared them for a long time. And this year I also bought his favorite salted duck eggs. Last year, I didn't buy them and he talked about them for a long time."

Su Chaoyang nodded, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring out several small pickle jars: "I almost forgot about these treasures."

"What kind of vegetables did you pickle?" Su Da was surprised, he didn't usually eat it!Ever since he learned about his son's cooking skills, he, the father, no longer wanted to eat his own.Not to mention, the food is good this year, and his face has grown round abruptly.

Su Zhaoyang spat out the core, quickly found a note and labeled each jar: "Pickled pepper lotus root sticks, pickled pepper chicken feet, pickled pepper radish, spicy cabbage, pickled pickled cabbage."

"It's all pickled peppers, who would eat it if it's so spicy?" He didn't remember that his elder brother liked spicy food. In fact, the men in the Su family didn't like spicy food very much.

"Auntie likes it, and my cousin likes it too." That's not like, it's just a deep love.Su Chaoyang used to watch them buy and eat. He tried to cook a few times after he knew how to cook. He didn't expect them to appreciate them so much that he stopped buying.

Su Da laughed in surprise: "I don't even know sister-in-law's taste, but you are careful. You have prepared so well, and your uncle and aunt must be happy to send it over. Chaoyang is much more sensible and mature than before, and the changes this year are really big."

Looking at his happy father, it was more worthwhile than anything else. Su Chaoyang walked into the kitchen and said loudly: "The pickles are all unsealed, so today I will make scrambled eggs with pickled vegetables, stir-fried chicken offal with pickled peppers and lotus root strips, and stir-fried vegetable sprouts." ...Tomorrow, stew a beef bone radish and eat for a day..."

"You are busy, you are busy, I will pack things."

After the meal, Su Chaoyang went to the classroom with a bag of pickled peppers and chicken feet, and was immediately surrounded by foodies in the back row when he smelled the exciting aroma.

"One per person! Only one! Don't eat if you are afraid of spicy food."

Song Chenxi in the front row looked like he had eyes on the back of his head, and rushed over to snatch one and stuffed it into his mouth: "Woo... ah!"

With a scream and almost throwing the chicken feet, she stared at Su Chaoyang tearfully, "Why is it so spicy?"

"Pickled peppers are of course spicy, do you want to eat them? Don't give them to me." Su Chaoyang laughed.

"...Don't eat it, it's painful to eat chili pepper!" Song Chenxi reluctantly gave up his love while holding his butt.

Su Chaoyang laughed. He didn't forget Chen Luo's portion, and personally handed it to Chen Luo in the front row. Chen Luo took the chicken feet and stuffed them into his mouth. .Bring me a plate tomorrow."

"Um, that's all I have left to share, not tomorrow."

"Then when will you do it again?"

"uncertain."

"Make one for me, the more the better, okay?" Chen Luo stared into Su Chaoyang's eyes.

Su Chaoyang felt strangely that there was an imposing manner that could not be rejected, and he was stunned for a while and didn't speak.

Chen Luo added in a low voice: "I'll pay you."

"...No need to pay, if you want to eat, I will make it for you next time." Su Chaoyang was helpless, not knowing why he agreed to such a thing.

"Thank you, Su Chaoyang..."

Su Chaoyang's heart jumped like an electric shock. He stared at Chen Luo with wide eyes in astonishment. The person in front of him was clearly Chen Luo. The name came out of his mouth, and he felt like a person.

How can it be!

At most, the voice is a bit similar, and it is still a blurred voice in the memory of the soul. I don't even know what it should be like.

This year, he was 16 years old, and he was still living a peaceful and happy life with his father in Wutong High School.

And that person should be in the distant Haishi at this moment, which is the hometown where he was born.

A few days later, Su Chaoyang gave Chen Luo a catty of freshly made chicken feet with pickled peppers. Although Chen Luo expressed his gratitude, Su Chaoyang was unwilling to have more contact with him.After a few polite words, he took the remaining [-] chicken feet with pickled peppers and walked to the back row. While there were few people not paying attention, he put the chicken feet into Lin Zhan's drawer. Last time he found out that Lin Zhan liked it. Spicy food, but with Lin Zhan's personality, even if he likes it, he won't ask him to do it.Chen Luo saw this scene in his eyes and remained silent.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and the Christmas that everyone is looking forward to is coming as scheduled in the cold winter.

The surrounding area was full of ambiguous and joyful atmosphere. Greeting cards, dolls, and Christmas trees appeared lively in the hands of the students. The milk tea shop on 'Wutong Road' even launched new products specially for Christmas.

Su Chaoyang bought a lot of things with great effort. On the day when Christmas Eve came, he walked out of the house at dawn. The snow outside had stopped and was quietly piled up on the ground. On the branches, the sycamore tree covered with a snow-white cloak was as handsome and pleasant as a gentleman in the wind.

There was no one on the whole street, and there was no wind, only the bone-chilling chill penetrated into the bones.

The lights were on in Chaoyang Internet Cafe, and the milk tea shop was already closed.

Su Chaoyang opened the milk tea shop with a key, and the lights shone on the sycamore tree outside the shop, like a candy house in a fairy tale world.After bringing in the ladder that had been prepared earlier, Su Chaoyang started to work on the plane tree at the door with all kinds of gadgets.A piece of small things was hung or wound, or shelved, or stuck by him properly, and the sycamore trees were decorated colorfully.Constantly moving ladders to change positions, constantly climbing and descending trees carefully, Su Zhaoyang couldn't help sweating on his back from busy work.

The sky was still dark and quiet, as if he was the only one in the world.

At this moment, in Chen Luo's eyes, under the dark sky, there was indeed only a warm glow covering Su Chaoyang.It has an irresistible appeal in the cold dawn, and it can even melt people's reason in an instant, turning you into a chaotic fool.

"Hey."

Chen Luo, who walked into the light with the sound, startled Su Chaoyang and almost slipped from the branch, but fortunately he caught the side in time, took a deep breath, and Su Chaoyang, who had lingering fear in his heart, said helplessly, "Why are you here? "

"Scared you?" Chen Luo frowned.

Su Zhaoyang shook his head with a good temper: "Fortunately, you came to school so early, and it's not even time for morning exercises." Speaking of this, Su Chaoyang remembered the strange thing, the school gates are not open so early, let alone locked It is impossible to enter the classroom.The weather was so cold, why did Chen Luo go out alone?Is it crazy to wander around on the frozen street?If it wasn't for arranging the tree, he wouldn't bother to come out to suffer from the cold.

Su Zhaoyang noticed that Chen Luo was holding his hand again, and couldn't help but blurted out: "Are you taking a walk?"

"Hmm." He replied without hesitation.

Really walking... There is such a young man who sleeps more lightly than him.

"Did you decorate the Christmas tree?" Chen Luo took the initiative to ask, looking up at the person on the tree, if this is a gift from Santa Claus...

Su Chaoyang continued to be busy winding up the long neon lights, trying his best to make them more beautiful. There was snow on the tree, and his range of movement was very small. If he accidentally slipped down...Chen Luo looked deeply under the tree. frown.

"What's the use of doing this? It's interesting for you, a big man, to do this thing?" It's simply unreasonable to run out to decorate the Christmas tree in the freezing cold weather.He wasn't like this in the past... It's ridiculous that the bad temper he used to be is now a good man. Who are these changes to please?He doesn't believe it.

"I want to decorate Christmas a little better to enhance the atmosphere. Nowadays, young people like to play some romance, so I can't be too special, go with the trend and make a little money."

Chen Luo curled her lips, "You are willing to work hard even for Xiaoqian."

"Idle is idle, there should be many people who will like it, and the atmosphere of hype is still good."

"What do you want other people to like?"

"It's the holidays. If people like me, I will make money."

"...You might as well sell rotten apples! Simple and easy."

Su Chaoyang rubbed his hands: "Don't do it, some college students in the neighborhood have come to the high school to sell apples in the past two years. The competition is high and there is nothing new."

"So what's new about your Christmas tree?"

Su Chaoyang said happily: "You see that I have arranged the tall phoenix trees so beautifully, right? Wait, I'll go in and turn on the lights."

Su Chaoyang quickly turned on the neon lights on the tree, and the silent sycamore tree immediately fell into a colorful world, with flickering lights, various small decorations hanging, and red ribbons hanging down.

Chen Luo folded his arms and said nothing, his eyes were slightly distracted.

Su Chaoyang took out a rather large Merry Christmas English signboard and hung it up, and finally moved out the neon signboard of 'Wishing Tree'.

Chen Luo frowned: "Wishing tree?"

"Yes, I made a lot of interesting wish tokens back."

"Oh...then I'll buy a wish."

"I'll give you one, you can choose whatever you want." Su Chaoyang pointed to the shelf.

"The only thing you buy is sincerity."

Su Zhaoyang thought about it and it made sense. He watched Chen Luo pick out a simple wishing bottle on the shelf, and then wrote down his wish on a note behind his back, stuffed it into the bottle and tied it with a long red string, and walked away. go outside.

"I can help you hang it up."

Chen Luo shook his head: "I want to do it myself."

In order to tie the wishing objects conveniently, Su Chaoyang tied countless red strings on the tree, and they hung down and swayed in the air, which was very touching.Even standing under the tree can easily hang the wishing bottle, but Chen Luo stepped on the ladder and climbed up without hesitation.

"Be careful." Looking at his body shape makes people anxious. After training for a semester, he still doesn't lose weight.

Chen Luo climbed as high as he could before he was satisfied with the wishing bottle. Standing on the tree condescendingly, he looked down at everything below, the pure white land, Su Chaoyang under the tree, and the people slowly gathering in the distance from the street. Everything is in his eyes.

The wish sealed in the little bottle will come true one day.
