Recalcitrant

On the day of the Spring Festival, New Zealand also has a bit of a new year.Chen Zhuo got up early in the morning, first accompanied Wang Zheng to a tour of the temple fair, then drove to the Super League to buy some New Year's goods, and did not return home until the afternoon.

I almost forgot to introduce, Ms. Wang Zheng is Chen Zhuo's mother.

When the mother and son arrived home, the neighbors had already arrived, and the originally empty living room was full of people.At the invitation of Ms. Wang, several Chinese families in the community will gather at their home to celebrate the Spring Festival together.

Apart from scientific research, Wang Zheng's only hobby is cooking, so tonight naturally became the main force of the New Year's Eve dinner.Chen Guangyu was sent by her to pick spices, while Chen Zhuo helped in the kitchen.

Looking at the three generations of other people's family in the garden, Wang Zheng quickly chopped up the ribs, and started to repeat the old story: "Why doesn't Xiao Lu come?"

Chen Zhuo was coating the fish fillets in the bowl with starch, and said absently, "He has something to do."

"What can happen during the Spring Festival? Is it because you are not good to others?" No matter how Wang Zheng kept his eyes on science, she still knew about the rumors related to her son.

"Treat your relationship seriously." Wang Zheng glared at Chen Zhuo, and persuaded earnestly: "Now that you have a partner, you have to change your old bad habits, and you can't play around outside anymore."

Who is not serious? Chen Zhuo was not convinced, but he did not refute. When it comes to playing around, Lu Shaoheng's performance outside is not inferior to him at all.

This exotic New Year's Eve dinner ended in an atmosphere of joy between the guests and the host. After the dinner, the neighbors did not stay long and said goodbye.

At night in Queenstown, the mountains and rivers are so lonely, and there is nothing to do when it gets dark.Now that they are not in the country, naturally there is no such thing as keeping the old age. Before ten o'clock in the evening, the old Chen family closed the door and went back to their rooms to rest.

In the early hours of the morning, Wang Zheng went out to look for water to drink. As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, he saw Chen Zhuo sitting on the sofa.

Chen Zhuo sat there silently by herself, which startled Wang Zheng. She glanced at the clock on the wall, and asked with lingering fear, "It's midnight, what are you doing when you don't sleep?"

Chen Zhuo withdrew his attention from the TV screen, looked at his mother, and replied seriously: "Watch the Spring Festival Gala."

Wang Zheng came back with a glass of water, and glanced at the TV. On the TV, two people, one fat and one thin, were wearing red jackets, and they were talking some not-so-funny jokes.

Wang Zheng didn't know what was so interesting about it, but he still left a sentence of "go to bed early" and went back to the room.

Amidst the joyous background sound of the Spring Festival Gala, the time came to 04:30 in the morning.Chen Zhuo, who had been meditated by the old monk all night, finally moved his body, picked up his mobile phone, got up and walked to the balcony.

The house of Chen Zhuo's family was built on the hillside. Standing on the balcony, you can see Lake Wanaka and the white snow-capped mountains. The warm summer wind blows from the lake, which made his eyelids stretched all night, making him more Sour and swollen.

Chen Zhuo squinted at the ray of light before sunrise in the sky, and dialed Lu Shaoheng's phone number.

The call was connected quickly, and there was a deafening electronic tone on the other end of the phone. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening in China at this time, so I knew where he was fooling around without even thinking about it.

"Where is it?" Chen Zhuo asked first.

After a while, Lu Shaoheng's voice rang through the phone: "It's in Xie Er's brother's shop."

"Is the bar still open today? It's hard work. Is there anyone to cheer for the Chinese New Year?"

"Look at what you said, there are many homeless people in this city."

Probably because of the Spring Festival, Lu Shaoheng didn't catch any satisfactory fish in the fish pond, so he was flustered at night, and chatted with Chen Zhuo on the other side of the earth for a long time.For a while, he asked New Zealanders whether they could celebrate the Chinese New Year, and for a while, he asked what their family had for New Year's Eve dinner tonight.

Amidst these unnutritive topics, it was midnight Beijing time, and Chen Zhuo seemed to hear the sound of firecrackers indistinctly.

"Lu Shaoheng." Under the cover of the noisy environment, Chen Zhuo called out his name, but stopped soon.

In the first second of the new year, Chen Zhuo had a lot of things in his heart that he wanted to say to him, but in the end he could only say "see you next year" calmly.

After staying up almost all night the night before, Chen Zhuo spent the whole day trying to catch up on sleep, and just as he opened his eyes on the third morning, he suddenly received a call from Lu Shaoheng.

As soon as the phone was connected, Lu Shaoheng asked Chen Zhuo enthusiastically: "Where is the best Wellington steak in Wellington?"

This question is nonsensical enough, not to mention whether Wellington steak originated in Wellington, what does this matter have to do with Lu Shaoheng?

Chen Yao was about to ask him what he was doing, when he heard the airport announcement in the background, and sat up from the bed "suddenly": "Are you coming to New Zealand?"

"Well, it's at Wellington Airport." Lu Shaoheng yawned loudly, and said in a vague voice, "What's delicious nearby? I'm starving to death. Singapore Airlines' in-flight food is really terrible."

"Didn't you agree to see you next year?" Chen Zhuo couldn't figure out the situation for a while.

"Isn't it next year now?" Lu Shaoheng asked quickly, and then said: "And who said I came to see you, I came to eat steak."

Chen Zhuo smiled, he didn't bother to explain to Lu Shaoheng that Wellington has nothing to do with Wellington steak, but said to Lu Shaoheng: "Find a place to sit at the airport and wait for me."

Chen Yao immediately bought the nearest flight and arrived in Wellington within two hours.As soon as he came out of the gate, he saw Lu Shaoheng sitting by the flower bed, concentrating on enjoying the special lion dance performance for the Spring Festival.

The person who was still in the dream last night appeared in front of my eyes now. This feeling is too unreal, more psychedelic than a beautiful dream.

Standing behind the glass door, Chen Zhuo calmed down, and walked towards him. Lu Shaoheng also saw Chen Zhuo. He straightened up, stood where he was, and waited for him with a smile.

Lu Shaoheng traveled thousands of miles from China to New Zealand, but in the end he still didn't go to see Chen Zhuo's mother.Chen Zhuo took him for a two-day stroll in downtown Wellington, and found a restaurant where he ate the best steak Wellington in Wellington.

After that, Lu Shaoheng set off to return to China first.

On the day of the return trip, Chen Zhuo sent Lu Shaoheng to the airport, and he had to take a plane back to Queenstown two hours later.

Before entering the security check, Lu Shaoheng did not forget to tell Chen Zhuo: "You must come back on time when the holiday is over. There are more than [-] crew members waiting for you to start work."

"Understood, it won't delay Boss Lu's money." After Chen Yao finished speaking, he spread his hands and said to Lu Shaoheng, "Come here and give me a hug. This is an international etiquette. You have to do as the Romans do."

"There are many rules." Lu Shaoheng complained, but put down the luggage bag, and threw himself into Chen Zhuo's arms with a smile.

Chen Zhuo whispered in his ear: "Have a safe trip, call me when you arrive."

"En." The head leaning on his shoulder nodded up and down, and Lu Shaoheng responded, "Got it."

Chen Zhuo smiled and hugged the person in his arms tightly as he wished.
