Orange storm

The next morning was New Year's Eve.

As soon as Fang Jie opened his eyes, he touched his phone and checked the time, it was seven o'clock.He sent Jiang Zhijin a "Happy New Year" before getting up to take a shower.

When it was almost time for lunch, Fang Jie's cell phone rang twice, and Jiang Zhijin finally heard something.

The other party transferred a sum of money to Fang Jie, 888, with a sentence "New Year's money" attached at the bottom.

Fang Jie was happy for a long time, but he still took the money and sent: Thank you boyfriend.

Jiang Zhijin replied: You're welcome.What boyfriends should do.

Fang Jie: What are you doing?

Jiang Zhijin: Going to the supermarket with Gu Xun and Zhou Hong.The two of them have been discussing whether to buy butter or clear oil for the base for half an hour, and the sales aunt who sells the hot pot base is probably calling "stupid" in her heart.

Fang Jie laughed for a long time, and Jiang Zhijin asked him what he had for dinner.

Steamed fish, deep-fried shrimp, local chicken soup, stewed beef brisket, fried green bamboo shoots... Fang Jie reported a few dishes without stopping, and replied: My mother made it.

The part-time workers at home have asked for leave and returned home.In the past, Fang Chenglin would cook the New Year's Eve dinner at home, and Zhou Ling would help.When Fang Jie went downstairs early in the morning this year, Zhou Ling was already busy in the kitchen alone.

He went in to help wash the dishes, and was instructed by Zhou Ling to come out and clean up.

Fang Chenglin didn't dare to enter the kitchen, so he went out to water the flowers and plants in the yard, and put on the window grilles by himself, and when the window grilles were finished, another person went to the door with the couplet.

It is very difficult for one person to post couplets. It is not easy to level up and align them up and down. The door of Fang Jie’s house is a bit high. Fang Chenglin took a stool and climbed up and down to compare.

Fang Jie looked at it for a while, and finally went to help the other party to level the bottom of the couplet.

"Post it." Fang Jie said.

Fang Chenglin was startled at first, then a little excited, and when he got off the chair after pasting the couplets, Fang Chenglin patted the dust on his hands and said with a smile, "I'll go buy some fireworks later. Tonight we will set off fireworks in the yard for fun. When you were young I like it."

Fang Jie didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

Anyway... today is New Year's Eve.

Let's talk about everything after today.

The New Year's Eve dinner at Fang Jie's family was a bit late, usually at seven o'clock.Fang Jie finished his review in the afternoon, it was still a little early.Every station on the TV is full of lively gongs, drums or firecrackers.With such background music, Fang Jie leaned on the sofa, and then sent a message to Jiang Zhijin.

"Gu Xun and Zhou Hong bought nearly 1000 yuan worth of fireworks, and they plan to set them off in the community square tonight." Jiang Zhijin sent a message to Fang Jie. "I was afraid that someone would come down and beat them halfway."

Fang Jie happily replied, "Then do you want to go up and help?"

"What a shame, forget it."

"Just like you are still the boss."

"If I wasn't the boss, I would have smoked them when I bought the hot pot base."

"Xiao Jie." Zhou Ling patted Fang Jie from behind, "Who are you chatting with?"

Fang Jie was caught off guard, so frightened that his heart stopped for a moment, he subconsciously put away his phone, and then said, "Jiang Zhijin."

"Mom thought it was a little girl, so happy." Zhou Ling said with a smile.

Before Fang Jie could answer, Zhou Ling waved his hand and hurriedly ordered: "Help mom go to the supermarket for a bottle of cooking wine, and when you come back, you can wash your hands and eat."

"Understood." Fang Jie said.

After leaving the house, Fang Jie and Jiang Zhijin sent a message and said something before heading to the supermarket outside the community.

It was just getting dark, Fang Jie bought cooking wine outside the community, and slowly walked home with the cooking wine.The road was quite quiet, with only the sound of quiet wind on the road, and everyone should be eating New Year's Eve dinner at home at this time.

Fang Jie could vaguely hear the sound of firecrackers coming from somewhere, crackling and lively.There is singing not far away.

Happy New Year, Happy New Year, I wish you all a Happy New Year——

It sounds good, Fang Jie hummed a few words along with it in the cold wind.

After a few minutes, when he was almost at the door of his house, Fang Jie looked up.

Fang Jie closed the door when he came out, but at this moment, the door of the house is wide open.The light in the living room came out, and there was a loud bang along with it.

It was the sound of things being smashed.

Fang Jie's heart skipped a beat, he speeded up and ran a few steps towards the house, and rushed into the house.

The living room and dining room are connected without partition.Entering the living room, Fang Jie saw Zhou Ling standing by the dining table with an angry face.Fang Chenglin, who was standing aside, was panicked.

There is also Zhai Wan standing in the middle of the living room, who is crying bitterly.

Di Wan's hair was all loose, and she was in a state of embarrassment mixed with tears. Because she was too emotional, the other party looked a little ferocious, and her tone was extremely excited.

"What's wrong with me! I want you to accompany your son on New Year's Eve. Is it wrong?!"

Seeing Fang Jie coming in, Zhai Wan immediately turned around and pointed at Fang Jie fiercely, her voice almost broke with excitement, "You think you only have this son, Fang Chenglin! Don't forget, you also have a son who is older than New Year's Eve." Lying in the hospital! Just rescued once this morning! You want to reunite with your family at this time, you are dreaming!!"

Zhou Ling turned pale with anger, pointed at Fang Chenglin and said, "Take her out."

Fang Chenglin immediately took a few steps towards Di Wan, wanting to help her up.

"Let's go out and talk about something..."

"What's there to talk about!" Di Wan threw Fang Chenglin away, turned her head to stare at Fang Jie with eyes swollen from crying, and walked a few steps towards him.

"Fang Jie, do you want to come with us to see your brother? If you are willing to save him, he will be fine. He won't have to be rescued on New Year's Eve and lie in the intensive care unit—"

Trembling with anger, Zhou Ling picked up the bowl on the dining table and threw it on the ground: "Get out! Otherwise, I'll call the police!"

Fang Jie walked over a few steps, supported Zhou Ling, and looked up at Fang Chenglin coldly.

"Let her go."

Fang Chenglin walked a few steps towards the mother and son, and hurriedly explained: "I really didn't expect her to come—"

Di Wan sneered: "Of course you can't think of it, can you still think of your son in the hospital?"

"Zhai Wan!"

"Am I wrong! You only have your wife and son in your heart! Have you ever thought about me and An An!" Di Wan turned her head and stared at Zhou Ling.

"Call the police, let the police take a look at you wolf-hearted things—"

"shut your mouth."

Fang Jie pointed to Di Wan, and said in a cold tone, "Your son is still lying in the hospital waiting for you to go back. Try saying one more word, I promise you won't see him tonight."

Di Wan's words were interrupted abruptly.Fang Jie turned to look at Fang Chenglin.

"Didn't you want to talk when you first came back, so let's talk now."

Before Fang Chenglin could react, Fang Jie continued.

"First, for your son, it is absolutely impossible for me to donate bone marrow for him. Call me cold-blooded, immoral, and conscienceless—you can do whatever you want."

"Second, you and this woman." Fang Jie pointed to Di Wan. "It's best not to appear in front of my mother again. Once again, I will call the police directly. If the two of you go in, the little one can lie down in the hospital by himself."

Di Wan's face turned pale, and she looked at Fang Jie and scolded while crying: "Why are you so cold-blooded, aren't you afraid of retribution—"

"Yes, I'm that cold-blooded." Fang Jie nodded and even smiled at her. "Don't worry, if there is retribution, it will definitely fall on you and Fang Chenglin first."

He turned his head to look at Fang Chenglin, and pointed to the door. "Now, take her out."

Fang Chenglin finally dragged Di Wan away.

The restaurant was in a mess. When Zhai Wan rushed in, he probably smashed several dishes. The floor was full of broken plates and overturned dishes, ribs, steamed fish...

Fang Jie took a broom to clean it up, and then mopped the floor.After everything was done, Zhou Ling on the sofa woke up suddenly, and smiled at Fang Jie.

"Mom, go heat up some food."

"No, it's still hot." Fang Jie said. "Let's eat first."

The Spring Festival Gala on TV has already started, and several hosts spoke with joy in their words, wishing the people of the whole country a happy new year.Fang Jie and Zhou Ling sat at the dining table, the two finished their meal in silence, and watched TV for a while.

Before ten o'clock, Zhou Ling stood up. "Mom is a little sleepy, I want to go back to the room to sleep first, you—"

"I'll go back and review." Fang Jie said immediately.

"It's okay, let's take a day off." Zhou Ling smiled, "Watch TV, or go out for a stroll."

Fang Jie shook his head, and went upstairs with Zhou Ling.When Zhou Ling was about to return to his room, Fang Jie called out "Mom."

"Happy New Year."

Zhou Ling was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes immediately turned red.She turned her head quickly and said "hmm" with a strong nasal voice.

"Happy New Year."

Back in the room, Fang Jie didn't wash or even change his clothes. He threw himself on the bed, turned over and covered his eyes with his arms.

Someone was setting off fireworks outside the window, the sound was very loud, and there were children's laughter and screams, making a lot of noise.The singing that I heard on the road just now should be near here, and it is still playing non-stop.

Happy New Year, Happy New Year, I wish you all a Happy New Year, we sing, we dance, I wish you all a Happy New Year...

Fang Jie lay on the bed and exhaled slowly.

When the phone vibrated, Fang Jie didn't bother to move it. After five or six minutes, he got up and took it over and turned it on.

Jiang Zhijin sent a short video, Zhou Hong and Gu Xun were lighting the fire from a distance, and ran to this side as soon as it was lit.Then the camera moved up to the sky, and the fireworks roared into the air, exploding gorgeous fireworks one after another.

Fang Jie watched the video five or six times before typing.

"They weren't beaten, were they?"

"Not yet, the neighbors in the community are very kind."

Fang Jie smiled, and Jiang Zhijin sent another one.

"What are you doing, boyfriend?"

Fang Jie thought for a while and replied, "Sleep."

After a few seconds, Jiang Zhijin called directly.

As soon as the phone was connected, Jiang Zhijin's smiling voice was wrapped in the fireworks and laughter in the background, and it was heard in Fang Jie's ears.

"Sleep so early?"

Jiang Zhijin's voice was laughing, still lazy, but very gentle.Fang Jie suddenly had a sore nose, and it took a while before he responded.

"Sleepy."

The smile on Jiang Zhijin's face paused and slowly disappeared.He chose a quiet place and yelled into the phone: "Fang Jie?"

"Ah."

"what happened?"

"It's okay." Fang Jie suppressed his emotions a little, not wanting the other party to hear it. "Happy New Year."

Jiang Zhijin was quiet for a few seconds before he said, "Yes."

"Do you know how to be polite?" Fang Jie was originally in a bad mood, but now Jiang Zhijin suddenly made him want to laugh.

"Usually at this time, shouldn't you wish me a happy new year in return?"

"...All right." Jiang Zhijin over there obviously sighed, and then spoke in a tone as if he was reading a text.

"I'm afraid that there are too many blessings on New Year's Eve, and you won't see my greetings..."

"It's already thirty today." Fang Jie laughed halfway through hearing it: "Jiang Zhijin, you must be sick."

Jiang Zhijin gave a "tsk", "Can you listen to me?"

"Oh." Although Jiang Zhijin couldn't see it, Fang Jie nodded with a smile. "you say."

On the other end of the phone, Jiang Zhijin's tone was smiling, but he continued to say the blessing in a serious manner: "I'm afraid that the firecrackers on the first day of the new year will be too noisy, and you won't hear my blessing, so at this moment, I'd like to thank you in advance. Say something..."

"I love you."

Jiang Zhijin said softly.
