- 314, Chinese New Year
With the enthusiastic help of many neighbors, Li Jingran¡¯s small home of less than 40 square meters became completely new in less than an hour, with bright and clean windows.
"Oh, we can finally live in it!" Looking at the clean house, Li Jingran felt a sense of happiness and satisfaction pouring out from deep in his heart.
Zhenqing and Zhenwu, who were standing next to Li Jingran, initially thought that their "Brother Ran"'s family conditions were very good and that they should be the kind of wealthy family. After arriving, they found that such an old and small place, the two of them In my heart, I admire and respect Li Jingran even more for his ability to start such a career in Chengdu in less than a year after dropping out of school.
After finishing cleaning, it was already six o'clock in the evening. The neighbors who came to see the strange things, watch the excitement and help also dispersed one by one. So, Li Jingran opened the trunk of the Q5, called Zhenwu and Zhenqing, and moved all the large and small bags he bought in Chengdu to his home.
It¡¯s getting late, it¡¯s time to cook New Year¡¯s Eve dinner.
When cooking, the three of them joined in, even Li Jingran, who was used to being the hands-off shopkeeper, was no exception. The three of them were busy working on the stove. Since Li Jingran bought a lot of ready-made and semi-ready foods in the supermarket, the meal was cooked very quickly. After an hour, the square table in the center of the living room was already full. A variety of dishes were served, including chicken, duck, goose, fish and rabbit, everything that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, and swam in the water.
When having New Year¡¯s Eve dinner, you need to set off firecrackers. For this reason, Li Jingran specially bought a 10,000-ring "earth red" song, placed it in the open space outside, and started lighting it. Cracking, bursts of firecrackers flying, and smoke filling the air. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Li Jingran held Zhenwu and Zhenqing in his arms. The three orphans who came together by some chance felt a kind of excitement in their hearts. It¡¯s hard to let go, the feeling of family ties connected by blood.
Return to the living room and prepare to eat.
There were three people, one of whom happened to be on one side, but the other side was not empty either. Li Jingran placed a pair of bowls, chopsticks and a wine glass, and the wine glass was filled with red wine. That was the spot left for her mother.
"Mom!" Li Jingran picked up the red wine glass in his hand and glanced at his mother's portrait hanging in the center of the living room. "It's Chinese New Year! Let's have New Year's Eve dinner together." He said silently in his heart, then raised the wine glass in his hand and said to He raised his mother's photo, raised his neck, and looked at nothing.
Li Jingran¡¯s expression and movements were seen by Zhenwu and Zhenqing sitting next to him. The two siblings glanced at each other silently, then stood up from their seats and came to an open space in the living room. They knelt down together with a click, and then kowtowed to the portrait of Li Jingran's mother with a "dong dong dong" sound. Come. He kowtowed three times in a row, and the sound was loud and clear in this small living room.
Li Jingran didn't stop him. He didn't help the two of them up from the ground until they finished kowtowing. Then he held them in his arms and patted their backs. He said everything without saying a word. middle.
The New Year¡¯s Eve dinner was warm and cheerful, and it lasted for a long time. It lasted from seven o¡¯clock to eleven o¡¯clock, which took nearly three hours.
However, since about ten o'clock, Li Jingran's cell phone has almost never stopped, and is frequently interrupted by calls and text messages. They are all here to pay New Year greetings. Classmates, girlfriends, sisters-in-law, confidante, and employees, one after another, Keep Li Jingran busy.
¡°All the calls and messages were familiar, except for one unfamiliar number, but Li Jingran didn¡¯t pay attention. He just thought it was an unnamed subordinate. After reading it, he deleted it.
After finishing the meal, Zhenqing washed the dishes, while Li Jingran and Zhenwu started to clean up the leftover soup and water on the table. They finished cleaning up in just a few minutes.
Li Jingran and his mother have been dependent on each other for more than ten years, and they have always lived a very poor and even difficult life. Except for electric lights, there are no household appliances in the house. Television, which has long been popular in the most remote mountainous areas, is a luxury item that Li Jingran and her mother are reluctant to buy. Therefore, Li Jingran does not have a TV at home, so he cannot watch the CCTV gala.
"Come on, Xiao Wu, Xiao Qing, I'll take you two to visit the county towns in Sifang." Li Jingran said to the two brothers and sister.
"Okay!" The two of them cheered loudly.
The community where Li Jingran lives is on the outskirts of the city, very close to the county seat. The three people who had had New Year's Eve dinner were driving around the streets of the county town. All the streets are brightly lit, with red lanterns hanging on both sides of the road. Although it is already after eleven o'clock at night, there are a lot of people on the street, mainly young men, women and teenage children. , some are walking on the street, chasing the excitement and crowds, some are chasing each other and playing with each other, and others are setting off firecrackers or small fireworks on one side to create a festive atmosphere.The busiest thing is the square, which has almost become a sea of ??fireworks.
Li Jingran parked the car aside and bought a bunch of fireworks from a fireworks stall next to the square. Then the three of them went to Sifang Square and set off fireworks and firecrackers with the boys and girls they didn't know. Such a happy team.
Zhenwu and Zhenqing are very happy. It can be said that they have never been so happy since they were born. The two of them spent most of their time living in the mountains with an old Taoist monk, accompanied by green lanterns and ancient Buddhas. Later, after leaving the mountain, he could have entered this noisy society normally, but his family had undergone tremendous changes, and he had to leave his hometown and flee all the way until he met Li Jingran.
It can be said that this kind of Chinese New Year, which is very ordinary in the eyes of ordinary children, is quite fresh and curious to the two people who have never experienced such a lively atmosphere. But for Li Jingran, who brought them such freshness and curiosity, the two The hearts of the people are also filled with gratitude.
The time soon reached twelve o'clock. The New Year of the Old Calendar has arrived. With the "dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang." There was a burst of cheerful cheers and the sound of firecrackers that continued like rain.
Li Jingran also hurriedly took out the three firecrackers he had prepared in advance, one for each person, lit them with the incense in his hand, and threw them towards the open space outside the square. Together with countless people, he felt the firecrackers slowly walking amidst the crackling sound of the bells. Come New Year.
Li Jingran and Zhenwu Zhenqing, two brothers and sisters, stayed in Sifang Square until one o'clock at midnight. It was not until the flow of people from all directions started to flow back like a tide that the three of them drove slowly towards their home.
The alley is relatively quiet, and many people are asleep; but there are also many people who keep their homes brightly lit, watching TV, playing mahjong and fighting landlords, using different ways to spend the first day of the New Year.
Li Jingran¡¯s home is small, with only one bedroom. In the past, this bedroom was divided into two parts by my mother with a cloth curtain, and there were two beds. My mother slept in one and he slept in the other.
Now, these two beds have been tidied up by Zhenqing not long ago, and they are covered with brand-new cotton batting and duvets brought from Chengdu.
¡°Brother Ran, you and Brother Wu sleep in the bedroom, and I¡¯ll set up a tent in the living room.¡± After returning home, Zhenqing was the first to propose the allocation of beds.
"That's not okay, sister! You and Brother Ran sleep inside, and I'll set up a tent outside!" Zhenwu objected.
"Hey, you two brats, don't overdo it! I, the owner, have the final say on how to allocate the house. Xiao Wu, Xiao Qing, you two go to sleep on the bed inside, and I will sleep in the tent in the living room." Li Jingran also disagreed with the allocation of the two of them. in principle.
But this time, the two brothers and sisters who always listened to Li Jingran rarely sang against him. Before Li Jingran could make any move, Zhenwu and Zhenqing ran out of the house in a hurry. "Hey, haha." You came and I exchanged blows. After a while, Zhenwu came into the house holding a simple tent, with a kind of expression on his face. A proud look. Zhenqing walked behind, looking a little annoyed, probably blaming himself for losing to his brother in the tent robbery just now.
Zhenwu rustled and quickly set up a tent in the living room. His movements were very skillful. In less than a minute, he had completed setting up a simple tent.
"Brother Ran, please don't argue with me. I like sleeping in tents, and this is also a required lesson in the special forces course. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiaoqing. Now in Chengdu, I sleep in tents every day!" After finishing speaking, , before the two of them could speak, Zhenwu let out a "chirp" and got into the tent, leaving only a muttered "good night" to Li Jingran and his sister outside.
We have already reached this point, so what else is there to say? So, Li Jingran helplessly spread his hands, looked at Zhenqing who was standing by with a red face, and said helplessly: "Hey, you brother, you don't even listen to my words now. Okay, he just wants to sleep. Go to sleep. It¡¯s getting late, let¡¯s go in and sleep.¡±
"Yeah!" Zhenqing glanced at Li Jingran and nodded shyly.
She heard Li Jingran say "go in and sleep". Although she understood that it had no other meaning, it still caused ripples in her heart. When Zhenqing thought that she would sleep in the same room with her most beloved and admired "Brother Xiaoran" later, she felt that her little face was uncontrollably getting hotter and redder.
She didn¡¯t dare to stay in front of Li Jingran for too long. After saying ¡°hmm¡±, she hurried to the kitchen to get water for Li Jingran¡¯s feet.
Zhenwu, who had already entered the tent, saw that the other two were no longer fighting for the tent with him. At this time, he also got out of the tent, took out his personal toiletries, and began to do personal cleaning before going to bed.??
Ten minutes later, everyone finished washing and said good night to Zhenwu who had already entered the sleeping bag. Li Jingran was in front, and she was as sincere as a little daughter-in-law in the back. The two of them entered Li Jingran's former bedroom one after the other.
