Chapter 343 New Year’s Eve

"Call me if you have anything."

"No matter what, I am still your uncle."

He patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder hard twice.

"Know it."

Lu Mingfei smiled stupidly.

They separated at a fork in the road, and the uncle wanted to take a shortcut back. It took him so long to buy a bottle of cooking oil, so his family must be very angry.

Lu Mingfei took two steps and stopped. He turned around and looked at the middle-aged man's stout figure. He was a little fat and a little rickety. It was the same man who took pictures of his wallet, keys, and mobile phone on the table while eating out. So confident and high-spirited.

Lu Mingfei suddenly thought of his father, the man whose face was blurred in his memory. What would he look like now, where was he doing, and was he still the same as before?

The man holding the little girl passed by him. The girl was so small. She blinked her dark eyes and looked around. When she saw Lu Mingfei, she froze and suddenly laughed, which reminded people of dandelions in the sun. .

Lu Mingfei heard the young man and the little girl talking.

"Call daddy."

"Mother."

"Call daddy!"

"Mother!"

Repeating this, the young man smiled helplessly.

"Okay, mom, just mom."

Lu Mingfei burst into laughter and covered his mouth again, but he still laughed, his shoulders shrugged and he bent over with laughter.

Holding his belly in his hands, he smiled while trying to remember what his father and mother looked like on this winter night street.

It's a pity that he can't remember it.

What a joke, with his martial arts training and the strength of his mind, he couldn't even remember it.

So, who are you?

In other words, who am I?

Lu Mingfei rubbed his face vigorously and exhaled a long breath.

"gone."

he said to himself.

When we walked out of the park, the stall selling Spring Festival couplets had been closed down. Chu Zihang was standing there, talking to someone, wait, what is that?

Lu Mingfei patted him on the shoulder, waited for him to turn around, and jumped to the other side. Chu Zihang looked at this boring and childish scene with a blank expression, and inexplicably thought of a girl. Speaking of which, Xia Mi seemed to be special. Love playing games like this with him.

Lu Mingfei finally put his hand on his head, rubbed it, and said with a smile.

"There is progress, Han Ye."

Han Ye bared his teeth and tried to put on a fierce expression in an attempt to intimidate Lu Mingfei, but unfortunately, no matter how scary the expression was made with his facial features, it would only give people a cute impression.

Unexpectedly, he could meet Han Ye here. Lu Mingfei was very happy to see him again after a long absence.

They chatted for a while. Han Ye returned to the city after the holiday for the preparatory classes at Peking University and picked up his old business again, selling and singing while living. Today I heard that someone was giving away things in the park. Han Ye thought it was the church giving out bread. The kind where you run over excitedly, but you don’t expect it to be over.

Before he could feel regretful, he met Chu Zihang's eyes. Very quickly, Han Ye's eyes lit up.

"What are your plans next?"

Lu Mingfei asked him.

Han Ye touched his belly and smiled sheepishly.

"Well, can you find a place to eat something first?"

So, Han Ye got into the Maybach with his eyes wide open, sitting upright and not squinting. In the end, he stood in front of Chu Zihang's villa, with his little face raised and his mouth open, and he didn't speak for a long time. His dumb look was so cute.

Yes, it's so cute, Su Xiaoyan thinks so too.

When she saw Chu Zihang and Lu Mingfei going home together, her smile was bright. This warm feeling was so good, but Han Ye came in at the back, with that face, that skin, that ponytail, Su Xiaoyan's smile gradually stiffened.

Wait, what was she thinking about at noon? It would be great if Zihang came home for a girl one day.

Su Xiaoyan looked at Han Ye seriously again.

His eyes became more complicated.

Then she looked at Chu Zihang with more complicated eyes.

The old mother's relief and slight disappointment were mixed together. Her son had grown up, and she didn't have to worry about Chu Zihang having no one to take care of him in the future. But what was the reason for this slight loss? Hey, maybe this is what it means to be a mother. It’s a feeling, who didn’t say that? Parents just watch their children go away again and again.

Chu Zihang pursed his lips. Su Xiaoyan was not a person who would hide her emotions. Everything she thought was basically written on her face. Chu Zihang could see it at a glance, and Han Ye's face was indeed easy to let go. People have misunderstandings, but my mother's misunderstanding seems to be not only Han Ye's gender, but also some other strange things.

Su Xiaoyan suddenly thought of something. Wait, Lu Mingfei showed her a photo of the girl named Xia Mi. She was obviously not the cute girl in front of her, so...

Fortunately, before Su Xiaoyan's imagination could continue to run wild, Lu Mingfei talked and gestured, and even asked Han Ye to act as a temporary body teacher for demonstration, showing Su Xiaoyan this guy's Adam's apple, and finally put this thing together. The matter was told.

"So you're not a girl."

Su Xiaoyan breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little disappointed for some reason. She was disappointed when her son brought a girl home, and she was also disappointed when he found out that he was not a girl. Her emotions were really complicated.

Han Ye's mentality is very stable, isn't it just that she was mistaken for a girl? It doesn't matter to her, oh, it's him.

After leaving some lunch, Han Ye took care of it first. Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang went into the kitchen to make something new for her. Su Xiaoyan was watching TV in the living room and glanced at the dining table from time to time. I really didn't expect that that seemingly petite boy His appetite is so good, is his stomach a bottomless pit? You've been eating this for half an hour, don't let it make you sick.

But Su Xiaoyan was also sure that this child was probably not a girl. It would be unthinkable for a girl to eat so well.

After sitting for a while, Su Xiaoyan turned off the TV. She went upstairs to clean up a new room. Fortunately, the villa had enough rooms. She hummed a song. She used to be the only one at home, and the man had endless meetings. The difference is that Chu Zihang has a quiet personality. Although he is very well-behaved, the house has lost popularity and is somewhat deserted. It was much better today. Chu Zihang brought two classmates home, which was really lively.

The four of them had dinner together. This time it was not just Lu Mingfei, but also Han Ye. They seemed to have endless things to talk about. Su Xiaoyan moved her chopsticks for a few times and then put them down. She listened to Lu Mingfei and Han Ye talking with a smile. In order to grab a braised prawn, he hit it with chopsticks, just like in a Kung Fu movie. Chu Zihang served her a bowl of soup, and Su Xiaoyan smiled as if she was in her twenties.

Han Ye didn't seem to know how to write the word "fear of strangers" at all. He was not polite at all when he came to eat this meal, and he was the same after finishing the meal. He took the initiative to wash the dishes with quick and skillful movements. While washing, he looked proudly at Chu next to him. Zihang and Lu Mingfei showed off and shared his experience of washing dishes in the back kitchen. Originally, the boss was just trying it out, but after seeing Han Ye's speed, he was immediately in awe and hugged Han Ye's thigh. Crying and shouting for him to stay and wash the dishes.

As for why I try to wash dishes, it has to start with a king meal.

"It always seems like you have a lot of experience in the past."

"It's okay, it's okay."

In the evening, they played Three Kingdoms in Chu Zihang's room. This is a new card game that was recently released. It was quite interesting, but I don't know why. After playing, it turned into throwing pillows at each other. In the end, it was Chu Zihang who cleaned up the mess.

They posted Spring Festival couplets the day before New Year's Eve, and the four of them went out together. Han Ye was holding the ladder below and watching eagerly. Even Chu Zihang couldn't stand it, so he gave the opportunity to Han Ye. Han Ye was very happy. Okay, this is the word "福" in the center. After pasting it, Lu Mingfei called out.

"Luck has arrived!"

Isn't that right? The word "福" on this post is upside down, which means it's arrived.

New Year's Eve New Year's Eve also means to get rid of filth and welcome the New Year.

They started cleaning.

Lu Mingfei folded four paper hats and put one on each person.

Su Xiaoyan stepped on the chair to wipe the dust on the wardrobe. Chu Zihang said, "I'll do it." She looked at Chu Zihang, jumped off the chair and looked up at Chu Zihang's serious wipe. Looking sideways, Su Xiaoyan pinched her chin and smiled lightly.

As soon as he twisted the towel, the water fell down. Lu Mingfei wiped the floor. After wiping the floor, he wiped the table, coffee table and cupboard. When Su Xiaoyan returned to the first floor, almost everything in sight was shining. It glows and looks brand new, and is actually cleaner than a professional cleaner.

In previous years, they would call a cleaning company for the general cleaning. After all, in such a large villa, only Su Xiaoyan and Chu Zihang could not handle it. Doing it by yourself like today was really a novel experience for Su Xiaoyan.

"Done!"

Lu Mingfei threw the towel into the basin and stretched, his joints crackling all over.

"Come on, let's take a photo!"

Su Xiaoyan excitedly held up her camera and greeted Chu Zihang and the others.

She directed the three of them how to stand and what postures they should take, and they stood behind the camera to examine it. One moment they thought it was good, and the next moment they started over again. Fortunately, Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei and Han Ye both had superhuman physical fitness, otherwise I just finished cleaning and had to take photos, so I probably fell down from exhaustion.

"Mom, you come too."

Su Xiaoyan smiled confidently and gave her baby son an OK gesture, saying that there was no need to worry. Mom knew what was going on and left everything to me.

So, after finally settling on the pose and deciding to take pictures, Su Xiaoyan's smile froze when she thought about setting the delay.

She fiddled with the camera in distress, wondering, she had clearly read the manual, why was it different from what was promised, wait, what was written in the manual...

Su Xiaoyan was at a loss what to do, was in a hurry, and even scratched her head twice, Chu Zihang said next to her.

"Let me do it."

Su Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment. She seemed to go back to more than ten years ago. That man was called Tianjiao. It was really a name that people didn't know how to say. It was very similar to that guy's character. However, sometimes he was still very... It's reassuring that no matter what happens or what troubles he encounters, he will always smile and talk about it.

"Let me do it."

Originally, it was like this. Su Xiaoyan should think of these things, should feel sad, and miss them. There should be a name like Tianjiao crossing her mind, paired with a handsome face of a man.

but none.

Su Xiaoyan remembered nothing. Chu Tianjiao was a man who only lived in Chu Zihang's memory. Except in his mind, no information about that man could be found in this world. What is more terrifying than death is Forgetting, Chu Zihang would recall that rainy day bit by bit before each trial of the sleepless method. The Maybach was speeding at high speed, and the man's knife cut through the rain curtain. He rushed towards the back of the god, with indomitable determination, Chu Zihang was like Playing back movie-like memories one by one, recalling everything about that man, he tried his best to grab the corner of Chu Tianjiao's clothes. If he wanted to say why, it was probably because he was the only proof that that man stayed in this world. .

Chu Zihang fiddled with the camera and quickly set the delay.

"Mom, it's ready."

"Um."

Su Xiaoyan came back to her senses. She subconsciously touched the corners of her eyes, but there was nothing there. It was strange, why did she feel that she should have tears?

The countdown reached zero, the camera's flash lit up, and a photo was frozen. Chu Zihang and Su Xiaoyan, Lu Mingfei and Han Ye, they were all smiling, but Su Xiaoyan's smile was always a little absent-minded.

The New Year's Eve dinner was still the four of them. This year, Su Xiaoyan did not book a hotel or make an appointment with her little sisters. She and Chu Zihang prepared the ingredients together. After dark, the Spring Festival Gala program was played on the TV. The two female hosts dressed in festive clothes wished the people of the country a Happy New Year. Chu Zihang steadily put down the dumplings, which were steaming hot.

Lu Mingfei and Han Ye gathered together and muttered.

"Did you put the coins in?"

"Let it go, let it go."

"Are you sure you let them go?"

"I'm sure, four, not one is missing, don't worry."

They made their own dipping sauces and despised each other's taste. Lu Mingfei and Han Ye laughed at each other for eating so strangely, hahaha. When they turned around, they saw Chu Zihang pouring down the spicy can. The red sauce was like volcanic lava. Lu Mingfei and Han Ye both swallowed their saliva, and looked at Chu Zihang with a hint of admiration.

This man is really a strong man!

"cheers!"

"Cheers, cheers!"

Han Ye blew a breath, drank the liquor in one gulp, burped, and smiled warmly like a cat.

Lu Mingfei was very interested.

"I asked, why do you always blow before drinking?"

"Get used to it, get used to it."

Chu Zihang looked at Han Ye.

"In Russia, there is a habit of blowing your breath first when drinking vodka, which is very similar to yours."

Han Ye smiled warmly.

"It's been seen. You are worthy of being a senior. In fact, I learned it from there. I have been in Russia before."

Liu Qian's magic show was played on the TV. His partner Dong Qing and Su Xiaoyan stopped their chopsticks and watched carefully. Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei and Han Ye also watched together. When the magic was over, Su Xiaoyan said, "It's really amazing." Then he asked them to continue eating.

Lu Mingfei bit into the dumpling, and his expression suddenly became strange.

Chu Zihang noticed his abnormality and continued to eat calmly. He rolled the dumplings in the spicy dipping sauce a few times and put them into his mouth. After chewing for a while, Chu Zihang continued to bite them as if nothing had happened.

In Zhao Benshan's sketch, the four people put down their bowls and chopsticks at the same time. They looked at Zhao Benshan's familiar face, and the baggage of the sketch shook out one by one. Su Xiaoyan, Lu Mingfei and Han Ye burst out laughing. Only Chu Zihang, among these ten thousand people, At this beautiful moment when the whole country is celebrating together, he still has a cold and handsome face, as if what is being shown on TV is not a Zhao Benshan sketch at all, but approaching science.
