There are more than 3 employees in the J City Mining Factory, and there are a dozen of them in the family courtyard alone. They gather together to form a semi-enclosed area. The locals call this mine island.

Anyone who lives on the mine island is either a mine worker or a relative of the mine. Everyone climbs left and right, and they can always make connections, forming a special ecology in the mine island.

There are hospitals, supermarkets, schools, and squares in the mine island. Tens of thousands of households have lived by a coal mine for ten or decades.

Nowadays, the benefits of mines are not as good as before. Many young people say they are clamoring and want to go out and have a look, but the older generation is always complacent: the mine is a big state-owned enterprise, and it is better to go outside. powerful.

He Jiashi didn't like this statement.

The old man of the He family was the old leader of the mining factory before he retired. He had two sons and a daughter.Both He Jun and He Min are good at studying, and they were admitted to universities in the provincial capital one after another. In the end, they successfully stayed and worked in N City. Now they are both successful in their careers. There is only one daughter, He Zhao, who was arranged by the old man as soon as she graduated from junior high school. Entered the technical school of the mining factory, and later stayed in the mine to work as a worker. Now, as the treatment in the mine is getting worse and worse, and He Zhao's husband is sick all year round, she has become the one with the worst living conditions among the three siblings. .

Therefore, He Zhao has always been unable to hold his head up at home. Every year when he comes back on the second day of junior high school, she is always the one who is busy, the hardest and the most tired, cooking and cleaning up the housework. Look good.

But no matter how much Mr. He neglected her and looked down on her, He Zhao always stood beside her in a friendly voice.

He Jiashi doesn't really like this aunt who has no temper and character. Sometimes, even he himself thinks that He Zhao is too cowardly.

But he couldn't help sympathizing with her, sympathizing with her for being born as a foil to her two older brothers and a slave to the family.

He Jiashi wanted to escape since he was a child, escape from this home, escape from this island, he just wished he could hurry up.

It was New Year's Eve, and there was no one around on the road on the mine island, and it was quiet. Most of the dilapidated street lamps were broken, and only a few sporadic ones were left, which were still dimly lit.

He Jiashi wrapped himself in his down jacket, and he walked along the river behind the family courtyard for ten minutes, then crossed the bridge, and there was a viewing platform opposite: He and Qin Yan used to have nothing to do, and always liked to go out for a stroll , strolling around, and always come there again.

Thinking of Qin Yan, He Jiashi felt relieved at last, but after a while, he felt sad again: This is the first New Year's Eve after Tao Ying's death, Qin Yan will inevitably feel sad at this time.

He Jiashi took out his mobile phone and sent Qin Yan a text message, wanting to ask him what he was doing, while crossing the bridge quickly. However, before he could finish editing a short message, he suddenly saw a thin man under the streetlight on the observation deck. disappearing figure.

That figure was so familiar, he could recognize it even when it turned into ashes, and he knew it was Qin Yan with just one glance.

He Jiashi stuffed the phone back into his pocket, but he didn't rush over, he just looked at Qin Yan from afar.

He really wanted to talk to Qin Yan, even if it was just a few words casually, even if he was ridiculed by Qin Yan, it would allow him to temporarily resolve the unhappiness in the family.

But he also understood that Qin Yan at this time was probably mourning his mother who passed away not long ago.

He Jiashi didn't want to disturb him very much.

So, he just looked at Qin Yan from a distance for a long time.

Qin Yan's shadow was drawn long by the dim yellow streetlights, his long eyelashes drooped, and the shadows fell on his cheeks, like a pair of wings, flickering.

He held a cigarette between his fingertips, and the smoke wafted in the ice and snow. A dozen Tsingtao beer was placed at his feet, which was torn apart.

The snow was still falling, and it fell on Qin Yan's head and clothes, leaving sparkling flowers behind.

He Jiashi's heart couldn't help but tremble, and for a moment, he felt the same loneliness from Qin Yan.

He thought he was used to loneliness, but at this moment, Qin Yan's loneliness seemed to affect him, he was a little confused, and he couldn't bear it, so he walked over, patted Qin Yan's shoulder, and asked, "Missing mother? "

He Jiashi and Qin Yan are both children of the mining factory. They live together at home and go to school together. They are good brothers who grew up together.

Back then, after He Jiashi's parents gave birth to their older sister, He Jiajia, they couldn't stop the old man's feudal thinking, and they secretly gave birth to He Jiashi without telling their respective units.

One of Jiang Lan and He Jun works in a hospital, and the other works in a bank. They are both part of the system. Therefore, in order to avoid family planning, they dared not bring He Jiashi to their home in the provincial capital. Can live with grandparents.

It is also because of not being able to live with their parents since they were young that Jiang Lan and He Jun were extremely indifferent to He Jiashi. Compared with the love and care for their sister, He Jiashi was raised to grow up.

Although his grandparents took good care of his life, they were not short of clothes, food, or pocket money on weekdays, but after all, they were separated by a layer. Although they were not overly indifferent, they were not considered close.

What's more, He Jiashi has been shopping since he was a child, and he hasn't rented a house for three days, and he doesn't listen to a single word.The old man and the old lady are old and don't want to take care of it, and they don't have the energy to do it anymore.

He Jiashi and Qin Yan were born in the same year, and they often played together since they were young.Qin Yan's mother, Tao Ying, felt sorry for He Jia when she saw that He Jia was not with her parents, so she felt sorry for him. She made dumplings and asked him to eat at home together, and asked Qin Yan to send him some pies, not to mention From time to time, I took him to the mall to buy clothes and toys.

Tao Ying used to teach in the provincial capital when she was young, and later, it was because of Qin Yan's father that she returned to the high school for children in the mine.She has a strong personality and wants to be No. 1 in everything, so she is extremely strict with Qin Yan, and even has to be disciplined by her when bringing He Jia along.Compared with He Jun and Jiang Lan's attitude of letting He Jiashi go, Tao Ying is more concerned about his study and conduct.

Therefore, He Jiashi and Tao Ying have always been very close. At first they called him godmother. Later, when he got too drunk, He Jiashi insisted on pulling Qin Yan to befriend Guan Gong. After waking up, he even forgot the word "dry" , directly called Tao Ying "Mom".

Tao Ying was taken aback when she heard this, then smiled and patted him on the shoulder, feigning anger and said, "I told your grandparents to hear it and break your legs!"

Later, Tao Yingti was diagnosed with breast cancer, and the two of them disappeared as soon as the third year of junior high school started, and it has been less than five months since then.

Qin Yan turned his head, as if recalling He Jiashi's words just now, but said nothing.

He Jiashi touched him with his shoulder, nuzzled his chin, and asked him for a cigarette.

Qin Yan's slender fingers took out a cigarette for He Jiashi, and instead of putting it in his hand, he handed it directly to his mouth. Then, Qin Yan lowered his head and used the cigarette in his hand to set him on fire.

The two cigarettes were paired together, faintly emitting a dark red flame in the darkness, and then, the two wisps of smoke floated out together with the direction of the wind.

The two stood together under the street lamp, looking at the frozen river.

At this moment, He Jiashi felt a little sad: when Tao Ying was still alive, Qin Yan never smoked.

After a few minutes, Qin Yan seemed to remember something, and handed him a bottle of beer. The two of them didn't speak, just kept drinking.

In the family courtyard on the other side of the river, bright lights were lit one after another. At this moment, every family behind these bunches of lights should be a family reunion.

I don’t know if you are watching the Spring Festival Gala, are you chatting?

They didn't know how long they stood and remained silent for a long time, until the sound of firecrackers from thousands of households in the entire mining island sounded behind them. Immediately, the fireworks pierced through the thick night, and one after another flew to the sky, bringing light and joy. Gorgeous bloom.

Fireworks cut through the darkness, deafening instead of silent, the New Year is here.

When He Jiashi was a child, he used to imagine that it would be great if he could not be at home every New Year's Eve, if he could spend it with Tao Ying and Qin Yan.

Now, Tao Ying is gone, but he finally spent a year with Qin Yan.

Pointing to the rows of buildings on the other side of the river, Qin Yan suddenly said, "It's quite boring, isn't it." Then, he turned around and said to He Jiashi, "Happy New Year".

He Jiashi finally smiled, he stretched out his hand, touched Qin Yan's head, then put his arms around Qin Yan's neck, pulled him into his arms, let him touch his head like when he was a child.

The two of them snuggled together for a while, and their hearts became much warmer. After a while, He Jiashi also said to Qin Yan, "Happy New Year."

Qin Yan smiled, they clinked glasses and drank all the beer in their hands.
