Dangerous game

Another year.

The Spring Festival is approaching, the streets and alleys of Beishi are decorated with a festive look, and the shopping malls are also in a "doomsday carnival". The jewelry counter that Jiangbei has passed by countless times finally has a discount event.

He picked out a good-quality jadeite bracelet for his mother, and after discounting it, he spent more than 3 yuan.This year's festival, I have to go home and take a look anyway, let's talk about whether to let it in or not.

Ouyang Xiaocong went back to his hometown a few days ago, and the living room was vacant. Jiang Bei and Zhou Ming pasted a "Fu" on the balcony window and the outside door, and there were some nuts and tangerines on the fruit plate on the coffee table.They don't have many friends, and almost no one will visit, but they still have to create an atmosphere.

The rice at home is almost flooding, and the two of them would play a few rounds of fighting-land-lord to pass the time in their spare time. The first prize of the Iphone was far behind, but the third prize of Northeast rice was won bag by bag. .

The idiot's technology is a little better, and with great determination, he is bound to win back a new version of the Macintosh for Jiangbei.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, Zhou Ming got up first and went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner. He had to choose clean ones, and stew them into the soup pot first.Looking at the sacks of rice piled up next to the refrigerator, I couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that this technology is too good to be a problem, and there is almost no room for them at home.

"Why did you wake up so early?" Jiang Bei leaned sleepily against the door of the kitchen, yawning and said, "It's not yet dawn."

The silly big man rinsed the baby vegetables under the tap, broke off the leaves one by one and washed them clean, "I can't sleep, you are the only one who is lazy."

"Then I was tired yesterday." Jiang Bei yawned and walked back, shouting as he walked, "My back hurts and my legs are still cramping."

The stupid big man leaned out half of his body, and said with a smile: "Who was yelling yesterday?"

"Shut up, I'm going to sleep." Jiang Bei ran back to the bedroom and set an alarm clock for eleven o'clock.

Dumbfounded by the quilt, he fell asleep until the alarm clock rang.Jiang Bei just got up in a sloppy manner, brushing his teeth and washing his face. In the mirror, the green dregs loomed, and he turned 34 years old in the blink of an eye.

"Xiao Cong called just now, asking if we would like to go to the nearby Kangzhuang on the third day of the Lunar New Year."

Jiang Bei spit out the toothpaste froth in his mouth, gulped a sip of water, wiped his mouth after spit it out, and said, "Go, anyway, we just happened to be resting."

"That's fine. I'll get back to him in a while. This guy went back this year to meet someone. Girls think he's too oily and unreliable."

"Yeah, it's because he's lacking love in his life. He treats women the same way he deals with clients. Is there any point!"

Zhou Ming continued, "I told him, it's best to be honest, but he still doesn't believe it."

"Meet him another day and teach him a good lesson. Is the dish ready?" Jiang Bei pulled the towel and wiped his face carelessly.

"It's coming soon."

Zhou Ming's hometown has a custom of setting meals. On New Year's Eve, you must eat some taro, taro taro, to bless the coming year with good luck and good people.It was like this on New Year's Eve last year, with taro and lentils, but today it was changed, and the idiot cooked a soup bowl of taro tofu.

After eating at noon, he forced Jiang Bei to eat a few more chopsticks at night.

"Eat more, this year will definitely go well." The stupid big man coaxed Jiangbei like coaxing a child to eat.

Jiang Bei stuffed another piece into his mouth, murmuring: "You are too superstitious, you choked me to death."

"Bah, bah, whoever celebrates Chinese New Year, be careful with what you say, how big of a person you are."

Jiang Bei looked at him and smiled purely: "Tsk, you are really superstitious."

"Hurry up and eat, the food will be cold in a while."

……

When thousands of lights were on, Jiang Bei quickly wiped the table clean, and Zhou Ming squatted by the coffee table in the living room to add up his income for the year. He was wearing the brown woolen sweater that had been washed several times. It was badly washed.

In the past two years of their marriage, the financial constraints required careful planning of every expense. Except for the down jacket that Jiang Bei had bought last year, the two of them had hardly wasted a cent on clothes in the past two years.The bracelet I bought for my mother at the end of the year was a huge sum.

Zhou Ming wrote this note in the ledger, "Mother-in-law's bracelet, thirty-six thousand."

The stupid guy is a real person. Last month, Jiang Bei jokingly asked him when his poker skills would improve and he would win him an Iphone.He said it casually, but he remembered every word in his heart.Two weeks ago, he visited almost all the places that sold Apple computers in Beishi, and picked the cheapest one, but it was not in stock, and he had to wait ten days and a half months.

The clerk who sold the apples in the morning called him and said that the apples had arrived and asked him to pick them up when he had time.

Jiang Bei hugged Zhou Ming from behind, put his chin on his shoulder, looked at the account book with old and new handwriting, "read to me, how much have we saved?"

Zhou Ming turned his face to rub Jiang Bei's left cheek lightly, "Not much, it's early."

"The market in Huishan District has opened, and they are all small apartments. Why don't you go and have a look?"

Zhou Ming frowned: "It's almost out of Beishi, it's too far away."

Jiang Bei sighed, "No matter how close we are, we don't have enough money, and commercial loans are expensive."

Zhou Ming turned around slightly and kissed Jiangbei, "Wait a little longer, there's no rush."

"Okay, listen to the master."

"Yo, your mouth is so sweet." Zhou Ming turned around completely and put Jiang Bei's hand into his arms.

Jiang Bei sat on Zhou Ming's lap, stroking the ends of his hair, making some small gestures between lovers.

"When the house is bought, we will have more money in our hands. Let's go to the orphanage to adopt a child."

Jiang Bei thought for a while, "Do you like boys or girls?"

"Little girl, little girl is obedient."

"Okay, let her be my last name."

"Okay, let me call him Jiang Zhou, it sounds nice to me."

"It's so ugly, I think it's called Jiang Xiaobei."

……

The two rubbed each other shamelessly on the floor for a while, and Jiang Bei's neck had a few marks like allergies, and the joy stretched to the ears, like a branding iron, hot and bright red.

"Get up early tomorrow and go to my mother's house to pay New Year's greetings." Jiang Bei said, wringing the fingers of the silly big man.

"Ah."

"Your house, do you want to go back and have a look?"

"No, they are all old-fashioned. It doesn't make sense. Don't bother, you have to toss back and forth." Zhou Ming thought of something, gently took Jiang Bei's hand, and put it down again, "I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back in a while."

Jiang Bei looked at the wall clock on the wall, "It will be eight o'clock soon, where are you going?"

"Wait, I'll be back in about two hours."

The location of that store is far from the urban area. You have to transfer once in the middle of the subway, and then you have to walk more than 1000 meters.Probably because of the disadvantage of the location, it is more than 500 cheaper than other places. Not less than 500, enough for their food expenses for a week.

On the broad road whistling in the fresh wind, the street lamps cast shadows, swaying a long shadow, and a black Ferrari coming from the front ran straight towards the shadow as if no one was there.

"Bang——" The shadow transformed into a real person, and after colliding with the windshield, it crashed down.

Scattered by his hand was a hard paper bag, which contained an Apple computer that was more than 500 cheaper than others.The blood gradually seeped into the concrete pavement, and he opened his never-closed eyes, seeing the last spark of fireworks in the world.

The drunken young man got out of the car in a panic, turned around in front of the dead man, and then ran back nervously.

"Damn! Bad luck!"

Shouting and shouting, stepping on the accelerator, he quickly fled the scene of the car accident without anyone noticing.

The Spring Festival Gala came to the song skewering session, Jiang Bei looked at the wall clock, it was 21:47, wait a little longer, didn't he say he would be back in two hours, he should be home soon.

The right eyelid couldn't stop jumping. Jiang Bei went to the bathroom to get some water. At this moment, the phone on the coffee table rang.

"Ding ding ding——" together with the explosion of fireworks, played the prelude to the new year.

"Excuse me, is this Zhou Ming's family?" A clear female voice said.

Jiang Bei glanced at the caller ID, it was indeed "Silly Big Man" on the screen, he said suspiciously: "Yes."

"He had a car accident and is now in the 101 hospital. His family members rushed over here."

"What are you doing?" Jiang Bei muttered, then glanced at the phone screen again, "You let him answer the phone."

"He is still being rescued, and his condition is very bad."

Jiang Bei's eyelids stopped twitching suddenly, and his mouth was not controlled by his brain. He asked helplessly, "Where is it?"

"Hospital 101."

At this moment, Jiang Bei didn't realize what was waiting for him in front of him. He probably still had a little reason: the stupid big guy had a car accident, and he had to hurry over to the 101 hospital.

He grabbed the cell phone tightly and ran out, hailed a taxi and went straight to the hospital.

It was too late, it was too late, the body was bloody, and I couldn't breathe at that time. When it was sent in, the person was already dead.

The big stupid man was covered with a long white cloth, and he was lying there, motionless. Jiang Bei lifted the white cloth and gently stuck it to him, calling, "Zhou Ming."

No one responded, the dead cannot speak.

"Zhou Ming." The voice became softer.

"This is his stuff." The nurse handed Jiang Bei a hard paper bag with the Apple logo on it.

He didn't reach out to pick it up, the nurse put the bag directly at his feet.

"Zhou Ming." Jiang Bei called out again.

No one will take care of him.

The medical staff in the emergency room were running around without stopping, and some family members of the patients would look sideways at the man kneeling on the ground and say to themselves: Poor, it’s a Chinese New Year’s Eve.Then he turned his face away, took out his mobile phone and watched a few live broadcasts of the Spring Festival Gala.

……

In the long corridor of the emergency room, a man sat slumped, with a thin face, short curly hair, and a piece of paper in his hand.

On the piece of paper is a line of clear and meaningful small characters, one stroke at a time, extremely neat - "For my daughter-in-law, Beibei, Happy New Year!"

"Who are you who caused the car accident?" A man in his 30s came over and asked.

Jiang Bei looked up at him, his eyes were as blank as fog, and then lowered his head again.

"The man who hit him ran away. He looked like a drunk driver." The man said again, "I captured his face. I'll send you the video. Hurry up and call the police. He must not have run away."

Jiang Bei covered his ears and buried his head between his knees.

According to news reports, this year is another rare "Spring Festival Transport Year" in history, and tens of millions of people flocked out of Beishi to go to their hometowns.Are they now reunited with their families, telling anecdotes from their travels amidst fireworks blooming?Will you make a wish for the next year in front of your loved ones?

Whatever it is, the days are like this every year, like tea leaves that have been brewed more than a hundred times, and tomorrow is the first day of the new year, so they should go visit relatives.
