sleep in your heart

Regarding the Spring Festival, people always like to say that it is getting less and less old-fashioned. It seems that this day has completely become an ordinary holiday that everyone looks forward to, or, using this reason, to meet relatives who have not seen for a long time.

On New Year's Eve, You Zeyi made dumplings with his aunt, his sister went to his future brother-in-law's house, and his uncle brought a few children from the neighbor's house downstairs to set off fireworks.

He still clearly remembers how he spent the Spring Festival the year before last. It was the first Spring Festival after he lost his family. Others made trouble, so he forced himself to face his relatives who came to see him, and told everyone that he was doing well, and that everything was fine.

At that time, You Zeyi knew that sooner or later, whether it was Spring Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival, whether it was Sunday or Monday, every day would be faced by him alone.

He has to learn to accept the reality, otherwise, life will really be impossible.

"It's been so long, I haven't asked you seriously, how do you feel at school?" Auntie knows that You Zeyi is a very sensitive child, and often doesn't ask him too much, even though she cares, it's scary Ask too much, what pressure does it bring to him, "Teachers and classmates are all good, right?"

You Zeyi always felt sorry for his aunt because of his grades, but this time he made great progress in the exam and squeezed to the top 150, so he didn't feel so embarrassed when he spoke.

"Well, it's all good," You Ze said with a smile, "By this time next year, I will be a college student, time flies so fast."

My aunt was very relieved to see that he was in a good mood. It was the third Spring Festival since the child's accident at home, and she finally saw him smile from the bottom of her heart.

"Well, sometimes I feel that you children grow up too fast. Your sister is going to get married soon, and you are going to go to university. By then, it will be me and your uncle. Thinking about it, I feel that the house is empty." The aunt wanted to tell him to move back home when his sister got married, but she thought that there were only a few months left, and the child would toss back and forth every day, wasting time on the road and riding a bicycle, so it was better to continue live in school.

Loneliness is really terrible. When You Ze thought about the Spring Festival in the past, his father often disappeared, and most of them went drinking with his friends, leaving him and his mother at home. Turn on the TV, no one speaks.

At that time, You Zeyi always wanted to escape from that home, but now that the home has disappeared, he began to miss it again.

It is said that during the festive season, he misses his relatives a lot, and his heart of missing his mother drifts far away, and he can only come back in a circle, because he can't find her.

At zero o'clock, the bell on the TV rang, and the new year began.

Zheng Zhi sat on the sofa and stared at the phone. His mother brought dumplings and complained to her son, "What are you thinking? You don't even eat the dumplings your mother made for you?"

Zheng Zhi smiled flatteringly at his mother, took a dumpling with chopsticks and put it in his mouth: "The most delicious food in the world."

His mother was finally happy. The three of them sat down and ate dumplings while complaining about the Spring Festival Gala.

Zheng Zhi was a little distracted, thinking about where You Zeyi was spending the New Year with.

He mechanically put the dumplings into his mouth, and biting down, he felt that the taste was strange.

"What's the situation with this dumpling?" Zheng Zhi made a gesture to vomit, but was stopped by his mother.

"Eat it!" Zheng's mother covered her son's mouth to prevent him from vomiting, "It's stuffed with sugar, right? A pot of dumplings is filled with sugar one by one. If you eat this, you will be sweet all year long!"

Zheng Zhi rolled his eyes helplessly, but he still ate the dumplings obediently.

Speaking of sweetness, he thought of You Zeyi again. Their habit is to put coins and sugar in the dumplings every Spring Festival night, and whoever eats them will have good luck.

Zheng Zhi ate dumplings filled with sugar for the first time, and it is said that they will be sweet for a whole year.

He suddenly hoped that You Zeyi could also eat it, and hoped that that person would have a better life.

When Zhou Tong received Zheng Zhi's call, he was being pestered by a few children from his relatives' house to play with them. There were many relatives in their family, and they would gather together during Chinese New Year. This year it was his family's turn to treat guests, and everyone came to his house.

"Zheng Zhi? You actually thought of wishing me New Year's greetings! You're really promising." Zhou Tong really didn't expect that he would always be hot with each other between the two of them, and he claimed to be Zheng Zhi's good buddy, but he never said much.

"Is it convenient for you to talk there? I have something to ask you."

"...I knew it!" Zhou Tong had seen through Zheng Zhi, and he would go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. When there was nothing to do, Zheng Zhi couldn't take the initiative to call Zhou Tong, "Say it, ask a question and give a red envelope. "

"About You Zeyi's family, can you tell me about it?" Zheng Zhi is not someone who likes to inquire about gossip, but this gossip is about You Zeyi, and he really can't restrain his curiosity.

He wanted to know more about that person, and how to make him happy.

"His family..." Zhou Tong was a little embarrassed, "Why are you asking this?"

Zhou Tong promised the head teacher not to tell anyone. If he hadn't accidentally slipped his mouth during the meal that day, even You Zeyi didn't know that he already knew.

"Don't worry about it so much, what happened to his family?"

Zhou Tong was really convinced, it was the first time he met someone who was so confident in asking others about things: "Brother, this is his personal privacy, if you ask me, just say, am I still human?"

"you are human?"

"...Goodbye, hang up the phone."

"Wait a minute!" Zheng Zhi called to stop him, "You make a request."

Hearing what he said, Zhou Tong laughed, and said meanly: "Old Zheng, you really understand people, two things, first, why do you care so much about Lao You? Second, list all the exercise books you have Send it to Brother Tong."

The second question was easy to say, but Zheng Zhi did not know how to answer the first question.

"What's the matter? Are these two things so difficult? You have a ghost in your heart." Zhou Tong smiled and said in a low voice, "Brother, I'm not stupid."

Zhou Tong's words hit Zheng Zhi's body like a heavy fist along the phone line, and he said stiffly, "What are you talking about?"

Zhou Tong looked around, drove away the children who were entangled with him, and said to Zheng Zhi on the other end of the phone: "Why are you two like a cold war these days? If I don't ask, it doesn't mean I don't know. So Come on, I went to see him that day too."

Zheng Zhi didn't ask "what day" and "who are you looking for", Zhou Tong said it clearly enough, he kissed You Zeyi, Zhou Tong saw it.

"Old Zheng, there are many things that I can't talk about. I consider you two friends, and I have already said that, no matter what, I support you, but I also kindly remind you that Lao You is indeed in a special situation. If you are sincere, I advise you to wait for a good time, if you just make a fool of yourself..." Zhou Tong paused and said, "I don't think you are the kind of person who makes trouble."

"So, tell me about his situation." Zheng Zhi really didn't expect that Zhou Tong was the one who understood the most among the three, and it was fortunate that it was Zhou Tong who bumped into them and not someone else.

"Lao You is very miserable," Zhou Tong said with an inaudible sigh, "his father is in prison, and his mother is dead."

There were firecrackers outside, and the TV was so lively that everyone was on fire, but when Zheng Zhi put down the phone and returned to sit on the sofa, his heart was heavy enough.

He thought that something happened to You Ze's family, but he didn't expect this to be the case. He thought, can the word "family ruined" be used here?Seventeen or eighteen years old, facing life and death, how painful was You Zeyi at that time?

Zheng Zhi stared at the TV in a daze, his mother came out with a plate of fruit, saw him and asked worriedly: "Son, what's wrong?"

Zheng Zhi shook his head and forced a smile: "It's okay, I'm sleepy."

"Go to sleep if you're sleepy, it's almost here, go to sleep and go to sleep."

Zheng Zhi went back to the room, lying on the bed still full of You Zeyi.

He wanted to make a phone call to You Zeyi, not to say anything, but to simply say New Year's greetings, at least to let the other party know that someone still cared about him, but he didn't have the other party's contact information.

Zheng Zhi sat up from the bed suddenly, picked up the bedroom phone and called Zhou Tong.

"Tell me You Zeyi's phone number."

"Brother, what are you doing?" Zhou Tong suddenly became nervous, "Aren't you going to confess your love?"

"Confession ghost," Zheng Zhi said, "Don't worry, I'm not that serious. Happy New Year."

"Okay." Zhou Tong went to find the book where he usually memorized phone numbers, a string of numbers, and the two of them confirmed it several times, "You really like him, right?"

"Don't worry about it," Zheng Zhi said, "don't let him know."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Tong hummed twice in his heart, and muttered: "Don't let him know? You have to tell yourself this, a fool can't see it!"

However, You Zeyi is that fool, he is really not sure what Zheng Zhi thinks about him.

When you received Zheng Zhi's call, You Zeyi was washing the dishes, and his aunt called him, saying it was a call from a classmate.

You Zeyi thought it was Zhou Tong, dried his hands and answered the phone.

"Happy New Year."

When You Ze heard Zheng Zhi's voice, he thought it was his hallucination, he let out a "huh" and asked, "Zheng Zhi?"

Zheng Zhi smiled, listening to his cautious inquiry, he felt cute: "It's me."

You Ze's ears turned red, he didn't expect Zheng Zhi to call.

"How do you know my phone number?"

"I can know everything I want to know." Zheng Zhi said, "Have you eaten the dumplings?"

"Eat, I made it with my aunt."

Zheng Zhi gave a "hmm" and found that he had nothing to say, and he didn't want to hang up the phone, so he said, "I got something filled with sugar."

"Ah...then you must have had a really good year." You Zeyi said aggrievedly, "I didn't eat anything."

"It's okay," Zheng Zhi comforted him with a smile, "I will give you my good luck, and you will definitely have a very good life."

I don't know who it is, it's almost 01:30, and they start to set off firecrackers again.

You Zeyi didn't hear what Zheng Zhi said, and when he asked again, the other party had already hung up the phone.

You Zeyi feels a little regretful, but life is like this, and there are regrets everywhere.
