you are within five miles of me

Zhou Yang pushed open the iron gate of the old yard together with his grandmother, and everything in the yard was in the same place, even the dog CC of the grandmother's house jumped up and down enthusiastically and wagged his tail when he saw his master enter the door as usual.However, everything seems to have changed again, and no one has been here for a long time.After winter, my grandma moved to live in a small building that had been vacant. Before that, Zhou's mother had been persuading my grandpa and grandma to live upstairs with heating in winter.But grandpa and grandma have always been reluctant, saying that they are not used to living in the yard and have to guard the yard.After grandpa passed away, grandma also felt that living alone in this empty yard was very uncomfortable. At the beginning, she said she was reluctant to leave and wanted to guard the yard, but in fact she wanted to guard the people living in the yard.Now that that person is gone, the children will not worry about moving to a house with heating.

Zhou Yang knelt down and touched CC's head. CC was also getting old, almost ten years old. When he came here, he was just a few months old puppy.

Zhou Yang chatted with his grandmother pretending to be relaxed, "Grandma, what does CC usually eat?"

"I'll bring him some food when I come for a walk." Grandma put down the things at hand and said with a smile: "It's not a pet dog, it will eat anything."

Zhou Yang rubbed CC's chin again. Speaking of which, the name of this puppy was thought up by grandma. Grandpa thought it was too convoluted and didn't want to call it this name. After arguing with grandma for a long time, he finally compromised and followed grandma to call him "CC" for many years. .

Zhou Yang stood up and followed his grandmother to the kitchen. There was nothing here.In the past, there were vegetables, melons and fruits all over the floor. Grandpa and grandma always loved me the most. All kinds of hidden snacks would be stuffed in the corners of the kitchen. When Zhou Yang came, they would pull him into the kitchen and carry them behind his back. Pack those goodies into his pockets.Now the rising dust choked Zhou Yang's breathing, the brick floor was empty, and there was not even the last trace of fireworks left.

Today Zhou Yang went to the old house with his grandmother to clean the house, and his brother-in-law and sister Zhou Jie will be there in a while.The custom here is to welcome grandpa into the house during the Chinese New Year, and grandma insists on coming to the old house to celebrate the New Year. This place really needs to be cleaned, after all, the living still have to take care of it.

After the uncle and Zhou Jie arrived, the three of them started sweeping from the main house. "Hey, Yangyang, don't waste such a big guy, come up and wipe the roof with me." Zhou Yang's uncle is the son of his grandparents, and he is only 11 years older than Zhou Yang. The older one has deep feelings, and the way the three of them get along is not like elders and juniors, but like brothers and younger siblings.

Zhou Jie was worried about his younger brother going up, "Uncle, let me come."

Zhou Yang stopped Zhou Jie, "Old sister, don't worry about it, you may not be able to reach the roof of this house if you stand on the top of the ladder at your height."

The uncle standing on the ladder smiled, "You are taller than your sister, you have the ability to laugh at Ah Zhe!"

Zhou Yang was stabbed in the heart by his uncle again, he was so angry that he shook the ladder on which his uncle was standing, and his uncle screamed on it in fright, "Uncle, if you keep turning your elbows out like this, just wipe it yourself, you will be exhausted!"

"Okay, Yang Yang, don't mess around, we don't know when we'll finish if you keep playing like this." Zhou Jie urged Zhou Yang, "Go and help my uncle clean."

Zhou Yang still listened to Zhou Jie's words very much, he took a piece of rag and twirled it around a few times in his hands, stepped on three steps of the ladder to reach the ceiling, and stood back to back with his brother-in-law to rub the ashes on the ceiling vigorously.It was too much for the two of them to wipe the entire row. The strength of the two of them was really not enough. Zhou Yang and his uncle got off the ladder slowly and then prepared to make persistent efforts.

The uncle chatted with Zhou Yang again, "Yangyang, do you have a girlfriend now?"

Zhou Yang took a sip of water slowly, "No." He wasn't lying, he really didn't have a girlfriend. As for that boyfriend, Zhou Yang would get angry when he thought of how cruel he was to him, so he didn't need to mention that beast.

"Ask Ah Zhe to help." Zhou Yang didn't mention him, but my uncle did it for himself, "He came to help me and I invited him to dinner. How about it? You can contact me."

Zhou Yang shook his hand and the water in the glass wet the new shoes that my uncle had just bought. The uncle stomped his feet angrily, "Zhou Yang! You want to be beaten, right? Do you just respect your elders like this?"

The corner of Zhou Yang's mouth twitched, and he said in a very unworthy way: "You are disrespectful to the old!"

The uncle grabbed Zhou Yang's collar from behind, "I think you wiped the ceiling too little, so if you don't want to ask someone to help you, you can do it by yourself!"

Children, remember, this story teaches us that the end of disrespecting the elders is to wipe the entire ceiling alone like Zhou Yang!

Zhou Yang was punished by his uncle until he was exhausted. He finally finished the entire ceiling by himself, and was ordered by his own uncle to clean the glass.Zhou Yang kept spinning like a spinning top all day, and after the house was cleaned inside and out, Zhou Yang was almost a waste.Zhou Yang spread out on the sofa that had just been set up in the main room. Through the cleaned glass, he could see the blue bricks and white tiles in the courtyard. It was deserted, and it would be New Year's Eve in a few days, Zhou Yang thought.

On New Year's Eve, Zhou Yang had never been to his own family since he was a child. He was brought up by his grandparents, so he didn't want to go to other places for the New Year.When Zhou Yang stepped into the gate, his grandmother was already there, and the green smoke from the chimney made the room that had been deserted for a long time a little bit more popular. He stepped in just as he had done countless times in the past, but the old man on the rocking chair did not follow him countless times. So wait for Zhou Yang to come back for the New Year.Zhou Yang sat around the stove and listened quietly to the sound of flames jumping up. He was afraid of the cold, so he couldn't stop trying to get closer to the stove, but inadvertently stuck the upper section of his right index finger on the stove. There was a "Zi" sound on the wall.Zhou Yang frowned in pain, and when he withdrew his fingers, even the flesh was pulled, a little bit of flesh stuck to the furnace wall, and the top of his right index finger turned into festering white and floated up.Just like that, Zhou Yang just frowned, didn't take a shower, didn't apply scald ointment, and didn't take any measures to deal with it. Zhou Yang felt that such a small injury and pain would be over with a frown. He could bear the pain quite well, except for that The first time I was in bed with Jiang Yanzhe.

The injury of Zhou Yang's right index finger did not affect his normal use of the mobile phone at all:

Jiang Yanzhe: Let's go buy fireworks together!

Zhou Yang: What kind of fireworks to buy, let’s buy cannons.

Jiang Yanzhe: Are you hinting at me?

Zhou Yang: It implies that you can get out!

Although Zhou Yang and Jiang Yanzhe have been close since they were young, they still spend the New Year's Eve at their respective homes. Only the two of them go out to buy fireworks and firecrackers on this day every year.Zhou Yang soon saw Jiang Yanzhe, at the entrance of this alley, under the willow tree.

"Let's go." Zhou Yang walked up to Jiang Yanzhe and closed the collar of his down jacket for him.

With sharp eyes, Jiang Yanzhe grabbed Zhou Yang's right hand, "What's wrong with your hand?" He frowned, carefully avoiding Zhou Yang's right index finger, wanting to touch it but afraid that it would hurt even more.

As soon as Zhou Yang was reminded by Jiang Yanzhe, he felt that his wound was a little hot from the cold wind, "Oh, I was burned a bit." Zhou Yang pulled out his hand and stuffed it into his pocket as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Yanzhe took Zhou Yang's hand out again, "Don't put it in your pocket, it will be bad if you touch the wound, I will take you to the clinic to bandage first."

"No need, little injury." Zhou Yang pulled Jiang Yanzhe forward.

"Small injury? Look at what it has become, it must be in pain!" Jiang Yanzhe babbled while feeling distressed.

Zhou Yang seemed to be choked by his words, and pretended to cough, "Ahem, cough, you are also afraid of my pain? It hurt much more than this when you fucked me! Why didn't you think of taking me to the clinic at that time? ?!"

Jiang Yanzhe didn't expect that this little devil's vengeance has reached this point, and he was silenced.

Zhou Yang smiled and pulled him away, Jiang Yanzhe's deflated look was really helpful.

The two of them rushed to the places selling fireworks and firecrackers before noon. There were a lot of people. Everyone picked this day to buy because on the last day of the year, everyone was eager to close the stalls and go to the New Year's Eve to bargain without any scruples.Zhou Yang really doesn't like crowded places. In crowded places like this, he walks on tiptoes.

Another child accidentally bumped into his own leg, Zhou Yang was smiling and hating his mother, he pursed his lips tightly and pulled the corners of his mouth into an arc so that he would not look fierce and scare the child away.

Jiang Yanzhe saw Zhou Yang's stiff facial expression that couldn't be stiffer anymore, and scolded him with a smile, "Screw out when you're not happy, aren't you tired of always smiling in front of others, where's the way you usually act like you're in front of me?"

Zhou Yang finally couldn't hold back anymore, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn!"

Jiang Yanzhe pulled him to avoid crowded places as much as possible, and came to a booth with relatively few people. Zhou Yang ordered Jiang Yanzhe to pick this and that with a cold face, without moving a finger.Jiang Yanzhe is quite happy to be a dog's leg. In the past, when they were not a couple, Zhou Yang would be a little polite with him, but now they are considered close.After choosing the tricks, Zhou Yang wanted to check out and leave quickly, but Jiang Yanzhe was stunned by the bargaining with the boss.He looked at Jiang Yanzhe with a flattering smile on his face, and said that he was about the same age as the "big brother"'s children. He successfully aroused the sympathy of "big brother" and successfully negotiated the price.

Zhou Yang stood there stupidly as if he didn't know Jiang Yanzhe. Jiang Yanzhe held the plastic bag in one hand and touched Zhou Yang's head with the other, "Why, are you stupid?"

Zhou Yang couldn't believe it, "Why do I feel that you have changed a lot, a person who is too lazy to talk to strangers has now learned such advanced skills as bargaining?"

Jiang Yanzhe was a little embarrassed, "Maybe it's because I changed a little after being with you."

Zhou Yang nodded. Thinking about it, Jiang Yanzhe changed his initial attitude towards Yu Bo, An Ye, and other students and became much gentler. After being with him, Jiang Yanzhe has been working hard to improve his interpersonal skills. Want to make yourself better.Jiang Yanzhe's change made Zhou Yang's heart itch all the way to the roots of his teeth. Zhou Yang didn't care if anyone noticed them in the street, he raised his face and gnawed Jiang Yanzhe.

Jiang Yanzhe was stunned and couldn't go away, he had to come back before giving up, Zhou Yang naturally wouldn't do what he wanted.A faint red mark was left on Jiang Yanzhe's cheek, as if condemning Zhou Yang's irresponsible and immoral behavior. Zhou Yang didn't know why he could smell a Chinese New Year smell in the air, but it might not be, maybe it was the sour smell of love taste?

After Zhou Yang returned to his grandmother's house, he looked through the fireworks and firecrackers that Jiang Yanzhe handed him, and found that there were no firecrackers that he liked at all. They were all fucking monsters similar to fairy sticks.He was so angry that he called Jiang Yanzhe and questioned him: "Jiang Yanzhe, what the hell did you give me, who would touch these!"

Jiang Yanzhe on the other end of the phone is used to playing tricks, "Hey, I gave you the wrong plastic bag! I just found out, but your hands are inconvenient, so just use it, hehehe."

Zhou Yang didn't even bother to say the word "fuck off", he just put down the phone and regretted why he only took a bite of that guy, he should have just bit off that piece of meat off his face!

Zhou Yang felt that this year's New Year's Eve was so muddled, except for the time when he went out with Jiang Yanzhe to buy fireworks, Zhou Yang didn't know what else he was doing until it was night.Zhou Yang swiped through his circle of friends and found that his friends were posting all kinds of New Year’s Eve dinners. He felt that it was very boring, and there was nothing to post at his home, just a simple meal of dumplings. After entering Grandpa, everyone looked at the photo with red eyes again.Let alone himself, everyone in the family might not be able to get out of this shadow, Zhou Yang thought to himself, this year has been really depressing.

The necessary procedure for Chinese New Year's Eve is to watch the Spring Festival Gala. The TV is on, but no one in grandma's house is really watching the show. Until the host started counting down to welcome the new year, Zhou Yang received a call from Jiang Yanzhe.

Zhou Yang stood in the yard, bunches of fireworks exploded in the air, and the sky was colorfully reflected. Zhou Yang couldn't hear what Jiang Yanzhe was saying at all, maybe it was "Happy New Year".Zhou Yang stared blankly at the fireworks disappearing and rising again in the sky. He had never carefully observed these same fireworks, but now he felt that they disappeared too quickly, and he felt a little sympathetic to these chemical reactions.

Zhou Yang asked Jiang Yanzhe: "Tell me, what's different about New Year's Eve this year?"

Zhou Yang waited for Jiang Yanzhe's answer, and with a glance, he saw the fairies wands that he had casually left aside today.He was infected by the atmosphere of fireworks, just like he was infected by Jiang Yanzhe's "Happy New Year". He picked up a thin fairy stick and lit it, and the orange-red light exploded in front of his eyes, really like a fairy's spell. It's pretty, it's a small one, I don't know if it will be so attractive when held by Jiang Yanzhe.

The smell of the New Year is the pungent smell of the cold air, the sex smell of fireworks all over the sky, and the sour smell of love.
