Chu Yang did not tell Chi Yan about this matter, and then it was the New Year. She did not want this matter to ruin the mood, but it never appeared again afterwards.
On the eve of the New Year, Chu Yang's family had a reunion dinner, then sat in the living room watching TV. The charcoal fire was still burning next to them, the door to the living room was open, but it was not cold, and occasionally they could hear the sound of firecrackers outside.
Chu Luo also took out some fireworks. He was already a high school student now, studying in the city, and got a vacation once a month. Moreover, he had grown taller, already a head taller than Chu Yang, and was now a big boy.
Some people even thought Chu Luo was the class flower in his class, but Chu Luo didn't know about this. Even in high school, he couldn't avoid writing compositions, and every week he had to hand in "composition" homework, which made his head a little bald.
The door of the Chu family was knocked open, and the neighbor's children and Chu Luo's friends came to play with him.
"Chu Luo."
"Big brother Chu."
Chu Luo hurried to let them in. "Come on, I'm about to set off some fireworks."
The others also brought fireworks. Chu's dad and Chu's mom also came out to join in the fun, holding some snacks for everyone to eat.
Chu Yang also sat under the eaves, cracking melon seeds, ready to watch everyone set off fireworks. Suddenly, the yard was filled with chirping and lively noises.
Before long, the sound of the fireworks soaring into the sky and then "flushing" open like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, and everyone started "wow wow wow" calling out.
Chu Yang thought of Chi Yan and quickly opened her phone to record a video, then sent it to Chi Yan.
The countryside is not as strict as the big cities. In big cities, fireworks can only be set off in designated places, unlike their countryside, which is not so strictly regulated.
Chu Yang had just sent it, when Chi Yan directly called her for a video call.
Chu Yang connected and saw Chi Yan's smiling face in the video, "Central Central, Happy New Year."
Chu Yang also smiled, "You too. Look, I'll show you the fireworks." Then Chu Yang switched the camera, focusing on the yard, where a group of children were setting off fireworks, and the fireworks were bursting beautifully in the sky.
Chi Yan thought it looked very good, but what he wanted to see more was his girlfriend.
"Central Central, the fireworks look good, but I want to see you."
Chu Yang felt that this place was not suitable for whispering with Chi Yan, so she told Chu's mom and dad and went back to her room.
Back in the room, Chu Yang turned the camera back to herself. Chi Yan should be on the balcony, "Where are you?"
Chi Yan turned the camera, "I'm on the balcony of my room. My family is all in the living room."
Chu Yang nodded, that's good, she was afraid Chi Yan would be video chatting with her in front of his family, which would be a bit embarrassing if his family saw.
Chi Yan greedily looked at the camera at Chu Yang, "I miss you."
Chu Yang counted the days, school starts on the 19th, which is still 18 days away, "In a dozen days we can meet."
"Can I come to your house in the second month of the lunar new year?"
Chu Yang refused, "No! What are you going to do in the second month of the lunar new year?" Married girls only go back to their maiden home in the second month of the lunar new year, what would he come for? "Aren't you supposed to be with your parents visiting your grandmother?"
Anyway, this year Chu's mom was not going to the grandmother's house, after all, she had previously torn the face with Aunt Wang, at most she would just send some money to Uncle Wang to fulfill her filial piety.
Chi Yan thought about it, it was indeed the second month of the lunar new year to go to the grandmother's house.
"Okay." Chi Yan was a little disappointed, "Then can you come to school early?"
Chu Yang thought about it, "But I have to wait until after the Lantern Festival."
Chi Yan: "Then I'll come pick you up on the 16th."
"Okay."
Then Chi Yan suddenly smiled, counting on his fingers, 16, 17, 18 days, which means they can be together for three days.
Chu Yang and Chi Yan were talking, when outside it started "crashing and banging" again, Chu Luo and the others were no longer setting off fireworks, but firecrackers, the "cracking" sound was particularly loud, and Chu Yang could barely hear what Chi Yan was saying, and she could even smell the gunpowder of the firecrackers in the room.
At this time, Chi Yan suddenly became gentle, and Chu Yang didn't know what he said.
After the firecrackers were finished, Chu Yang asked, "What did you say just now?"
Chi Yan shook his head, "Nothing. I said the sound of the firecrackers is so loud and lively." Actually, he had said "I love you so much." But Chu Yang didn't hear it.
Chu Yang felt that Chi Yan's lip movements just now didn't seem to be saying that much, but oh well, "It's Luo and some kids in the yard setting off firecrackers."
Chi Yan was jealous, "That's great. I also want us to celebrate the New Year together someday."
Chu Yang thought about it, if they celebrated the New Year together, they might already be at the stage of marriage, so she blushed a little and didn't say anything.
Chu Yang looked at the time, "I'm going to wash up, and we'll video call again later."
"Okay. Don't hang up, just stay like this." They had agreed to video call to celebrate the new year together.
"Okay."
Then Chi Yan saw on the video that Chu Yang was walking around looking for clothes, and then took off her outer jacket, leaving only the inner undershirt, revealing her beautiful figure, and then walking to the side, she disappeared.
Chi Yan watched as Chu Yang went to wash up, and he quickly went to wash up too, wanting to be done before Chu Yang came back so she could see him.
Chu Yang took half an hour to wash up, and when she came back to the room, wiping her hair, she saw that Chi Yan's hair was slightly damp and he had changed into his pajamas, looking like he had just finished washing up.
Chu Yang looked at his hair, "Why didn't you go blow-dry your hair? Go dry your hair first, it's so cold outside, you'll catch a cold."
Chi Yan touched his head, he had forgotten in his hurry just now, "Okay, I'll go right away."
In less than five minutes, Chi Yan was back, his short hair dried quickly, unlike Chu Yang's long hair, which she was still slowly blow-drying while chatting with Chi Yan.
The time had already reached 11:45 pm, there were still 15 minutes until the new year, Chu Yang's hair was finally dry, she yawned, feeling sleepy.
Chu Yang lay down on the bed, covering herself with the quilt and leaving only her head exposed, tilting her body to look at the same posture of Chi Yan, "I'm sleepy."
Chi Yan looked at the time, "Wait a little longer."
Chu Yang closed her eyes, "I'll take a nap. Call me."
"Okay."
Then Chu Yang closed her eyes, and just as she felt herself slipping into deep sleep, the whole person suddenly woke up, opening her eyes, "What time is it?"
There was one minute left.
Chu Yang let out a sigh of relief, then watched the time, 30 seconds, 29 seconds... 8, 7, 6... 3, 2, 1.
"Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year!"
The two exchanged smiles, and Chu Yang found that her phone had received a lot of Happy New Year greetings.
Chi Yan also turned around and sent her a red envelope, 10,000 yuan, and Chu Yang sent him 8,888 yuan in return.
Chu Yang's door was knocked, and Chu's mom and dad came in, giving her a New Year's red envelope. Chu Yang quickly sat up and wished them a Happy New Year.
Everyone wished each other blessings, and outside it was all the sound of firecrackers going off.
A new year has arrived!
