Just be your own driver

An Xing went to have a hot meal, while Li Shaoyan cleaned up the battlefield.The two sat facing each other, An Xing picked up a small piece of crispy meat, took a bite, "Look, it's not crispy anymore." Then he put it in his own bowl, and picked up another rib, "You eat this."

"I just like to eat things that are not crispy." Li Shaoyan picked up the meat and put it directly into his mouth, "Your bones are crispy, so don't eat crispy meat, eat some bones."

"Oh, it turns out that I'm not tough enough!" An Xing put two more ribs in his bowl, "Then I'll eat more, so that you can feel it next time."

Li Shaoyan smiled.

"Hey, are you on duty during the Chinese New Year today?" An Xing asked.

"Thirty is on duty, and there is another one on the fourth day of junior high school."

"At thirty, I'll pick you up from get off work." An Xing raised his head and asked, "Celebrate the New Year together."

"Ah?" Li Shaoyan didn't react.

"You want to be with your family during the Chinese New Year! Come with me to celebrate the New Year." An Xing asked with a smile, "I'll ask my mother to prepare any dumplings I want to eat."

"Any stuffing is fine." Li Shaoyan smiled, and said silently in his heart: as long as I'm with you.

On New Year's Eve, there were almost no people on the road, and the trees were covered with colorful lights, and the lanterns were also hung up.Li Shaoyan helped the guard put up the couplets, and the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year came immediately.Li Shaoyan cleaned the car and drove directly to the garage of the traffic police team. Anyway, An Xing couldn't take the car, so he drove it with ease.

An Xing had been waiting in front of the traffic police team early on, but Li Shaoyan received a call saying that his colleagues on the evening shift and their family had an early New Year's Eve dinner, so they might be late for a while, so please stick to it for a while.Li Shaoyan had nothing to do, so he agreed.

Fearing that An Xing would be cold, Li Shaoyan took him into the office, the two of them were chatting, and the hour hand moved towards 08:30, and the successor colleague also came, "Thank you Li Shao, did you delay you and Teacher An?"

"It's okay, see you next year. Happy New Year!"

When he walked out of the duty room, An Xing asked, "Does everyone in your unit know us?"

"Yes!" Li Shaoyan replied confidently.

"Then I have to..." An Xing frowned and thought.

"Don't worry," Li Shaoyan took An Xing's hand, "take your time. Our environment is different. You are the leader, and sometimes you do have to consider some influence. What if you become Principal An someday." Li Shaoyan smiled speak.

When the two walked out of the traffic police team, snow fell profusely from the sky. The snowflakes were small and melted on the ground. The lanterns were covered with a thin layer, adding a bit of playfulness to the festive New Year.If it was normal, the traffic police team would definitely be very busy, but today is New Year's Eve, most people are reuniting with their families, and there are very few people and cars on the road.

The streets are brightly lit but quiet. The green plants on both sides of the road are wrapped with string lights, bright and bright. The usually noisy shops are decorated with couplets and blessing characters to look like quiet beauties.Many houses on the upper floor of the residence are lit with colorful lights, and the windows of each house are a landscape.

An Xing was not used to being too intimate outside, but there was no one on the road tonight, so for the first time ever, he leaned on Li Shaoyan, and the two of them strolled home hand in hand.

"When I was young, I didn't like Chinese New Year the most." Li Shaoyan looked at the lights of Wanjia with emotion, "Because of the tense relationship with my family, my friends couldn't come out during the Chinese New Year, and I didn't leave either. Later, I went to the police academy, and every New Year's I didn't go out. Go home and celebrate the New Year at school. Apply for duty when you go to work. From the SWAT team to the traffic police team, this seems to be the first time that you are not on duty during the Chinese New Year.”

"I don't like New Year's Eve either." An Xing said, "Because when I clean up my house during the New Year's Eve, I not only have to clean up my own house, but I also have to help my neighbors clean up. It's kind of demeaning to say I'm going to help. I like to stay in the current community. Some people I am willing to help, like Grandma Shi’s house last time. Some people I really don’t want to go. The kind of people who are kind to you on the face, gossip behind your back, use your Sometimes they call themselves brothers and sisters, but when they turn around, they scold father and mother."

"Then why don't you move? Change the neighborhood."

"This is close to Xiao Ke's school. Besides," An Xing smiled helplessly, "just make do with it. Anyway, I live in a high-rise community now, and the neighbors rarely see each other, and gradually the feeling of humbleness will fade away. Bar."

"Don't make do with it! Don't think about it in the future. This year is very important to me," Li Shaoyan took An Xing's hand and put it in his jacket pocket. "This is the first year we spent together, and every year after that You have to be happy with me."

An Xing bit his lip and smiled, a cool snowflake was filled in the right dimple, he leaned against Li Shaoyan, looked up and saw a lot of snowflakes on Li Shaoyan's head, he said with a smile: "There is a lot of snowflakes in the earthy love story." Said: I can’t wait to go on like this, to be so gray.”

Li Shaoyan kissed him on the lips, and gently patted the snowflakes off An Xing's hair, "I don't want you to be so old, I haven't seen enough of you now!"

The two held hands and walked towards the house cuddling each other.

Just after opening the door, An Xiaoke's hearty laughter came out.The little girl was watching the not-so-funny Spring Festival Gala night skit and laughed so hard that she only slapped her legs. When she saw them coming back, she greeted them cheerfully, "Dad, Uncle Xiaoyan!" and then continued watching the show.An's mother rolled the skin and made dumplings, smiling at her granddaughter's silly look.

"Yo, is it snowing outside? Is it cold?" Mother An looked at the snow on both of their shoulders, her tone was normal and unceremonious, as if Li Shaoyan was already a member of the family.

"It's okay. Didn't you agree to make dumplings together when we come back? Why did you start by yourself first." An Xing undressed and washed his hands.

"Just you! After you make the dumplings, you won't be able to eat hot Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Mother An said with a smile, "Xiaoyan, do you want to eat beef and onion dumplings?"

"Eat, I love beef."

"Hey, I'm busy. You two haven't eaten yet, have you? I'm going to cook." Mother An got up and was about to get busy.

"No need, auntie, just eat dumplings tonight. I ate some snacks and dried fruits at work, and I'm full."

An Xing is not good at cooking, making dumplings is slow and extremely unsightly. It took a long time to tinker with one dumpling. It has a flat stomach, big and wide sides, and it looks a bit like a peacock with its tail on the case. .

Li Shaoyan washed his hands and joined the dumpling making team.He picked up a piece of dough, picked out some stuffing, nimbly squeezed a small fish dumpling with his fingers, and swayed to the side of "Peacock".

An Xing was stunned for a moment, "Oh, I can't tell, you can make dumplings?"

"When I was in the police academy, the school organized the students who couldn't go home to make dumplings every year. It took four years to make dumplings. It didn't look good but at least it didn't reveal the filling."

"I think it's very good, much better than Xiaoxing. Look at Xiaoxing's dumpling, the ears are too big. People used to say that if the dumplings you make look good, the person you are looking for will be good-looking. I read the old saying and said When it’s not right. Xiaoxing, you have to make the dumplings well, so that the dumplings are worthy of Xiaoyan.”

Li Shaoyan didn't expect An's mother to speak so directly, but he was a little embarrassed. He peeked at the mother and son, but they seemed to be familiar with it. He thought that the relationship between him and An Xing was aboveboard in this family.

The three of them made dumplings, and Xiao Ke came over to make two from time to time, and soon the dumplings were finished.The family watches TV and makes comments from time to time.An Xing and Li Shaoyan also played Glory of Kings with their mobile phones.

It was the first time they had been together to play a game together for such a long time.Anxing is good at playing tanks and walking on the road. Master Li Shaoyan is good at playing both assassins and junglers in the middle.

"Hey, I found that you are really suitable for meat. You especially love to rush forward, and is it so addictive to resist damage?" Li Shaoyan hid behind An Xing and output crazily.

"We have to create conditions for you to carry." Seeing the opponent's base collapse, An Xing glanced at everyone's data, "MVP."

An Xiaoke took a look at An Xing's phone, "Uncle Xiaoyan is better at playing, my father won't be able to get this."

As the time approached the new year, An Xing and Li Shaoyan stopped playing with their mobile phones, and watched TV while knocking on sunflower seeds; An Xiaoke was busy giving new year greetings to his classmates with a phone and watch, while An's mother was busy grabbing red envelopes.The new year is coming, but Li Shaoyan can't sit still. The last time he stayed at An Xing's house was because he was sick.Then this time, after the New Year's Eve dinner, should I go or stay?How should I sleep if I want to stay?An Xingjia has three bedrooms and one living room, one room per person?Sleep in the living room by yourself?It doesn't seem right.Sleeping with An Xing?Mother An can accept that she is true, but she may not be able to accept that she is in the same bedroom with his son in front of her, right?

Just as she was thinking wildly, when firecrackers sounded outside, An Xiaoke jumped up and opened the curtains, "Dad, fireworks! Fireworks!"

"It's twelve o'clock, I'm going to cook dumplings." Mother An went to the kitchen.

An Xing and Li Shaoyan stood side by side, feeling the joy of the New Year. The New Year's bell rang on the TV, and the sound of New Year's greetings and auspicious words kept coming and going.An Xing suddenly remembered the New Year's Eve fireworks. It seemed that since then, he realized that the person around him cherished him as much as he cherished him.

"Speak less, happy Chinese New Year! Happy Chinese New Year!" An Xing took three big red envelopes from the cabinet, gave one of them to him openly, and stuffed the other two into his hands quietly, "Give them to Xiao Ke and my mother for me." .”

Only then did Li Shaoyan realize that he came to An Xingjia to celebrate the New Year with nothing.I don't like favors very much, so I don't do business, and I have long forgotten about giving gifts and entertaining guests.He pushed the red envelope back, "I've prepared this."

Li Shaoyan took out two red envelopes from his coat pocket and handed them to An Xing, "Weigh them to see if the weight is enough?"

"Is it too much?" An Xing touched.

"That's enough!"

Li Shaoyan took the red envelope and went to the kitchen first, looked at Mama An who was cooking dumplings, and said, "Auntie, Happy New Year! I came here in a hurry, and I didn't bring a present. This is a little gift, please accept it." After speaking, he offered it with both hands .

"Oh, this kid. Auntie should give you a red envelope." Mother An rubbed her hands on her apron, took the red envelope with a smile, and took out two big red envelopes from the locker in the restaurant, "Xiao Xing Child...you are the first one to bring back for the New Year. He said that you have nothing to do with your family. From now on, we will be your family, so don't worry about it, and I wish you success in your work and life."
