Diary of a masseuse

In February 201X, the weather was fine.

Go home for the New Year ([-]).

New Year's Eve in rural areas is much more cumbersome than in cities.Resigning from the stove, worshiping ancestors, rewarding gods from all walks of life, collecting New Year's goods, pasting Spring Festival couplets, steaming rice cakes, making dumplings, smoked bacon, steamed steamed buns, steamed sugar pastries, and setting off firecrackers three times a day at fixed times.My parents used to take care of the family. After my parents passed away, I signed a contract and never celebrated the Spring Festival. My colleagues gathered together to eat dumplings, watch the Spring Festival Gala, send text messages and make phone calls.It was the first time I personally participated in the whole Chinese New Year, and I was so busy that I didn't have time to think about it.

The New Year's Fair in the countryside is very lively, and I brought Ye Zi out to buy New Year's goods.Holding a long list in hand, chicken, duck, fish eggs, red dates, chestnuts, Spring Festival couplets, firecrackers, fruits, vegetables, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, dried fruit, sweets, etc., as well as gifts for visiting during the festival.Because there were too many things, I entrusted a three-wheeled car with several neighbors, and asked him to help bring them back after shopping.

Ye Zi was very excited, and took me around. I felt a little guilty. These few years, there were only him and my grandfather, and he still missed me even if he didn't talk about it.

At the market, I met many people I knew, many of whom were uncles, aunts and aunts from the same or neighboring villages.The incident in my family was quite a big deal at the time, especially in this peaceful and quiet town where there was little news, and a gossip about stealing chickens and dogs could be talked about for half a year. It was the most important event in several years.Although more than four years have passed, many people saw me as if they were watching a western scene. After saying hello, they looked up and down with emotion. Even after they left, they could vaguely hear what they were talking to the people around them.I can't say angry embarrassment or anything, most of them have no bad intentions, and many of them reached out to help at that time.It's just that you will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.Looking down at the leaves, sure enough, her mouth pursed.

Raising my hand and rubbing Ye Zi's head, I took him to the firecracker stand and promised him that I could pick up fireworks that would not exceed 200 yuan this year. After visiting two stalls, the child was revived with blood.

I stood next to the stone platform of a fireworks shop next to me with my things in my hand, watching Ye Zi scurry around like a small fish in the crowded stall, picking things up, and took a firework that Ye Zi bought to watch.The name of the firework is very interesting, it is called A Chinese Ghost Story, but I read the above description carefully, it is the kind of firework that spits out pearls with a dozen small salutes in a single barrel, I don't know how to get this name.

"Chopsticks!" I was looking down at the things in my hand, when I suddenly heard someone calling my nickname, I looked up and looked around, happy.Seeing me turn my head, a tall young man not far from the left strode over, slapped me on the back, and bared his big white teeth: "Did you go to heaven or fall to the earth these few years, damn it a few times I couldn't even find you at the class reunion, but now I have caught it."

The person who was talking was my roommate from high school, who is also from our town. The two villages are not very far apart. Because they are not in the same junior high school, I felt very destined after meeting them in high school. We also have similar temperaments, and we can be regarded as strong buddies.Looking at it up close, I couldn't help laughing.The reason why my nickname is 'Chopsticks A' is because of the 'Chopsticks B' in front of me.Both of our high school students are slender, one is Li Feng and the other is Chen Song. We often walk together and one of them is made of wood. We won this honorary title through public voting.It's just that my chopsticks are still slender, and Li Song has grown into a tree trunk.

"You're laughing so hard, that's why men know, don't you? You are called a little boy like this!" "Yes, yes, Song Gechun~man~, you don't take a wrong path!" I teased him casually, and finished this sentence Can't help but be a little stunned.When we were in high school, we were considered a funny duo, and we often had trouble with each other. When we went to college, we had troubles at home before we got to know the people around us. In the past few years, we have been cautious, and we have always had a standard smile. Three times, I almost forgot that I still have some crooked talents in this area.

"To be honest, where have you been these few years? I heard from the class monitor that you didn't go to college." Chen Song put down his things next to me, and turned to look at me: "How is your brother's health?"

My heart was warm, and I smiled and said, "I found a job in Beijing. I give massages, and the treatment is good. My brother is there." I pointed to Ye Zi, who was looking this way, "I had an operation last year, and I'm almost fine. .”

"Massage, it's pretty good! Well, your skills are absolutely fine. I have massaged a few times at the massage shop where I am now, and the skills are eight blocks worse than yours. Just this will cost me 200 yuan each time. .” Chen Song nodded and said it funny.I know he is a little concerned about my emotions, mostly comforting.

"What about you? Where did you train your muscles?" I asked him with a smile. "Emma, ​​don't be picky at me! Look at what you have grown without the influence and guidance of your master in the past few years?!" Chen Song rubbed the top of my hair, and I quickly fought back. After playing, Chen Song He took out the box of cigarettes and drank a cigarette, and let me.I shook my head to show that I didn’t smoke, and asked him: “Since when did you develop this problem?!” “How do you speak?! This is style! With a cigarette in my hand, I frowned, looking up at the sky at 45 degrees, melancholy! I know No? Girls just like this." I couldn't help laughing: "You have a lot of experience, Brother Song." Chen Song grinned: "Do you think it's easy for me?! I've been fooling around with your face for three years, give me This aesthetic vision has been raised. It’s so easy to be in a similar place now, but you have updated and upgraded here. Emma, ​​can I still look directly at my daughter-in-law?!”

"Brother!" We were chatting, and Ye Zi ran over with a bag of fireworks: "I picked it." "Oh," I answered and took the things, pointing to Li Song next to me: "This is my high school firework." Classmate Chen Song, you can just call him Brother Song." Then he shook his head at Chen Song: "My brother, Li Ye."

After saying hello, it's time for us to buy new year's goods separately.Chen Song wanted my cell phone number and asked me to call me during the class reunion this year.I don't care about this, and I don't necessarily have time, so I didn't answer, I just said it depends on the situation when the time comes.Chen Song didn't force it, and waved goodbye to us.

After a tiring day, I haven't bought everything yet, and I will continue to buy at another village's market tomorrow.When I called Mr. Ye in the evening, I complained a few words, but Mr. Ye laughed over there, saying that his place was more difficult and he was still busy at night.It is understandable that as Mr. Ye, dinner parties are definitely indispensable during such a big festival as the Chinese New Year.I told him to pay attention to his stomach, which made Mr. Ye chuckle.When he hung up the phone, Mr. Ye said, 'I miss you a little bit. 'I couldn't help but blush.

I don't know how sincere Mr. Ye is in his words, but I really miss him.We didn't really live together until after the lakeside pavilion time, but it seemed like a long time after a month, so long that I got used to sleeping in another person's arms.So much so that, even though she was lying on the single bed that she had slept in for more than ten years, she somehow felt that the bed was a bit empty.

I have been busy during the Chinese New Year until the evening of the New Year's Eve, and I am really busy with the New Year.After eating dumplings at [-] o'clock in the evening, the three of us sat in front of the TV watching the Spring Festival Gala and kept vigil.It is a custom here that at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, a bowl of dumplings is eaten at the turn of the new year and the old year, which means saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new.

Grandpa couldn't stand it anymore when he was getting older, so he went to bed first.Ye Zi was excited, but she couldn't sit still, so she went out and set off some fireworks in the yard after a while, which attracted the children around to follow suit, and the crackling and crackling sounded non-stop.

When it was nearly twelve o'clock, Chen Song sent me a blessing text message. Although it was sent in a group, I still replied.After hesitating for a moment, he sent another message to Mr. Ye.Mr. Ye didn't come back, I thought he was busy there, so I got up to cook dumplings.After a while, Mr. Ye called.I picked it up, and Mr. Ye's deep voice was close to my ears: "Happy New Year." The New Year's bell rang on the TV.

I was happy and moved, but couldn't help being sour.Mr. Ye is really a cruel man.
