heavy evening light

The busyness of the New Year's Eve starts after lunch.

Shao Fang and Xiang Chuqiu were in the kitchen dealing with the ingredients for the evening, while Xi Nan and Xiang Wanguang were arranged to post Spring Festival couplets and blessings.

Xiang Wanguang stood on the stool, holding Spring Festival couplets in both hands to compare the height, while Xi Nan was holding rice paste in his hand. After Xiang Wanguang's position was correct, he tiptoed to smear the rice paste on the wall, and then helped Xiang Wanguang Wan Guang pressed the Spring Festival couplets up.

But it's not easy to operate like this. Although the Spring Festival couplets are pasted up, the two of them are sweating from the heat.

"Paste it first." Xiang Wanguang said, "It will be easier to paste it then."

Xi Nan had no objection, after Xiang Wanguang spread the Spring Festival couplets on the ground, he took the brush Shao Fang gave him and spread the rice paste evenly, then put the bowl aside, picked up the Spring Festival couplets, and waited for Xiang Wanguang After standing firmly, I handed the Spring Festival couplets to him.

"A little bit to the left," Xi Nan tilted his head for comparison, "Yes, yes, that's it."

"Then I posted it."

While talking, Xiang Wanguang was about to press down the Spring Festival couplets, but at this moment Xi Nan said, "Don't!"

Xiang Wanguang was unprepared. Not only did his hands tremble, but he almost fell off. He supported the wall with one hand, turned his head to look at Xi Nan, and said helplessly, "What's wrong?"

"It's not aligned." Xi Nan smiled embarrassedly, and pulled the Spring Festival couplets to the left, "This is the right way."

Xiang Wanguang glanced down, then looked at Xi Nan and said with a smile, "If you don't align next time, just say hello to me first, okay?"

Xi Nan knew that Xiang Wanguang didn't mean any harm, but after hearing what Xiang Wanguang said, he still blushed, and after saying yes in a low voice, he helped Xiang Wanguang put up the Spring Festival couplets.

Maybe it was because they made so much noise that they surprised Shao Fang who was still working in the kitchen.

Shao Fang came out wearing an apron, looked at the Spring Festival couplets they posted, and then at the two of them, wondering, "What happened just now, Nan'er's voice was suddenly so loud, I thought something happened."

Xi Nan quickly shook his head and denied, "It's all right."

Shao Fang looked at Xi Nan distrustingly, and then turned her gaze to Xiang Wanguang, but Xiang Wanguang was smiling, so Shao Fang couldn't see what was going on.

"It's fine." Shao Fang laughed, "Be careful with this, don't get hurt." Shao Fang helped Xi Nan pat the white ash from his clothes, "There is freshly boiled soup on the table, you can go over when you are done." drink."

Xi Nan smiled, "Okay."

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Shao Fang didn't stay any longer, and left after saying this.As soon as Shao Fang left, Xi Nan cast a reproachful glance at Xiang Wanguang, who hadn't recovered from the shyness just now, "The horizontal comment hasn't been posted yet."

Xiang Wanguang knew that Xi Nan was shy, so he lowered his head and smiled, didn't tease him anymore, and continued to work obediently.

The word "Fu" is much easier to post than the Spring Festival couplets, so Xi Nan collected the garbage at the door, and Xiang Wanguang posted the word "Fu".

Shao Fang and Xiang Chuqiu were still busy in the kitchen. Seeing this, Xi Nan wanted to go in to help, but Shao Fang waved his hand and drove Xi Nan out of the kitchen again, "There are sugar and melon seeds bought in the cabinet in the living room. You and Wan Guang go and set them up. It’s convenient to eat when watching the party at night.”

Xi Nan thought that this matter could be done by himself, so he wanted to go in to help again, but Shao Fang was determined not to let him into the kitchen, so Xi Nan had to turn around and go get melon seeds with Xiang Wanguang.

Xiang Wanguang had already picked up the platter, and when he saw Xi Nan coming, he smiled and opened the cabinet, and found that besides melon seeds, there were various nuts in it.

Xiang Wanguang took them out one by one and put them on the coffee table, then brought a trash can over, smiled at Xi Nan, and said, "Come here to peel?"

Xi Nan turned to look at the busy Shao Fang, and thought that there was nothing else to do anyway, so he complied with Xiang Wanguang's words, sat down and started peeling nuts with Xiang Wanguang.

Xiang Wanguang's mobile phone was placed on the sofa, and an unknown tune was playing. In the living room, the hard shell was thrown into the trash can and made a clanging sound. In the kitchen, Shao Fang and Xiang Chuqiu were talking softly.

After peeling another almond, Xi Nan raised his head and glanced around, the corners of his mouth became more and more curved, and the smile even reached his eyes.

It was written in the previous book that the years are peaceful and the present world is stable, Xi Nan finally realized it at this moment.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Chuqiu was also driven out of the kitchen by Shao Fang, and they simply sat in the living room and prepared to watch TV.However, all TV stations are rebroadcasting the previous Spring Festival Gala without exception, so they had no choice but to cast the show.

Xiang Chuqiu was chatting with his girlfriend with his mobile phone in his hand. He didn't have much idea of ​​what movie he wanted to watch, so in the end Xi Nan and Xiang Wanguang had to choose.

It's just that Xi Nan hasn't watched movies for many years, and he didn't really love movies that much back then. In addition, it was difficult to choose, so after looking around with his phone, Xi Nan lost interest and didn't want to look for it again.

Looking at Xi Nan like this, Xiang Wanguang smiled softly, took Xi Nan's phone before he exploded, searched for a movie in twos, and clicked Cast.

Xiang Wanguang chose Stephen Chow's movie, the classic "A Chinese Journey to the West".

However, although the movie was selected, none of the three people sitting on the sofa was watching it seriously, and instead they used the movie as the background sound.

After the movie was over at [-]:[-], Xi Nan didn't look for any more movies, but switched the show to CCTV and started watching the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala.In the kitchen, everything is ready for Shao Fang, just waiting for frying.

The news network host, who was dressed in the same formal clothes throughout the year, also changed into festive clothes at the moment, sitting in the live broadcast room, laughing and chatting, not as serious as usual.

Xi Nan looked at the host of the TV show, thought for a while, but still couldn't hold back his head and said to Xiang Wanguang, "This male host is very interesting."

Xiang Wanguang turned his head, "Huh?"

"One year when I watched videos abroad, I suddenly saw clips about him." Xi Nan laughed, "The more I watch, the happier I am." Xi Nan paused for a while, then continued, "During that time, I was all pointing at his clips. .”

Xiang Wanguang knew the host that Xi Nan was talking about, and had seen his clips in the early years, but he didn't think the host was as funny as Xi Nan's, at most it was because there were more jokes, and he could still be serious tell a joke.

If it is really interesting, it is not as happy as the barrage.

After Xi Nan finished speaking, he turned his gaze back to the TV, as if he was seriously watching the program.However, only Xi Nan knew that he was simply distracted by this.

No matter how funny the host of CCTV is, it can’t be very funny. Besides, Xi Nan himself has a good sense of humor, and he was not amused by the male host. heart, allowing him to get through that time.

The kitchen door was not closed tightly, and the aroma of the dishes spread from the crack of the door to the living room, arousing the appetites of several people.

They had already switched to the news broadcast TV, which naturally made them lose interest, so a group of people crowded into the kitchen and surrounded Shao Fang to watch her cook.

Shao Fang cleaned the pot, glanced at the three people standing in the kitchen, and smiled helplessly, "Why are you all in here?"

Xi Nan pointed to the dish that Shao Fang had just cooked, and said with a smile, "It's so fragrant."

"Yes." Xiang Chuqiu said, "You can smell it in the living room."

"Go, go." Shao Fang smiled and rolled her eyes, and brought the food to Xiang Wanguang, asking him to take it out, "Let's play outside, we can eat in a while."

Shao Fang stopped Xiang Chuqiu and asked him to help take out the fried dishes. Xi Nan saw the dishes on one side, followed Xiang Chuqiu to take the dishes out, and started to set the table at the same time.

Xiang Wanguang went to get drinks and cups, while Xi Nan and Xiang Chuqiu stood by the kitchen, waiting for Shao Fang to finish frying the dishes, and hurriedly brought them out.

Seeing them like this, Shao Fang laughed helplessly, but she didn't say anything, and let the two of them stand at the kitchen door, chatting with them occasionally.

When it was nearly eight o'clock, Shao Fang finally finished cooking, washed her hands and put it on the table.The TV in the living room has been broadcasting until the Spring Festival Gala, and the atmosphere at the dining table is strong.

Xiang Wanguang poured drinks for everyone, and after Shao Fang sat down, Xi Nan stood up first and offered a drink instead of wine to Shao Fang, saying that she had worked hard today.

Xiang Chuqiu and Xiang Wanguang said so.

Shao Fang smiled and bent her eyes, imitating their retaliation, and then didn't continue to make any lies.

Yes, just let them eat quickly.

It took more than an hour for a New Year's Eve dinner.After eating, Xi Nan didn't make Shao Fang busy anymore, and forced her to go to the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala, and they would clean up the mess.

Xiang Wanguang dumped all the kitchen waste into the trash can, Xiang Chuqiu was washing dishes in the kitchen, and Xi Nan was wiping the table with a rag.

Xi Nan glanced back and saw that Xiang Chuqiu was serious about washing the dishes, so he leaned towards Wanguang and said in a low voice, "I prepared lucky money for Chuqiu, will you give it to him later?"

Xiang Wanguang glanced at Xi Nan, and said with a smile, "Why don't you go by yourself?"

"It's not easy to speak," Xi Nan paused, but still chose to tell the truth, "I'm afraid he won't accept it."

In the past, he didn't have to think so much about preparing the New Year's money for Xiang Chuqiu. It was simply that Xiang Chuqiu was young at that time and didn't have so many scruples.

But soon Xi Nan couldn't care less about this question, because he himself was so moved by Shao Fang.

Shao Fang, who was supposed to be watching TV in the living room, returned to the bedroom at some point, and when she came out again, she had many red envelopes in her hand.

Shao Fang first gave Xiang Chuqiu and Xiang Wanguang the New Year's money, then walked up to Xi Nan, and handed the rest of the money to Xi Nan, "Nan'er, Happy New Year's Eve, Auntie wishes you a happy new year Happy, safe and sound."

Xi Nan looked surprised, looked down at the seven red envelopes in his hand, looked at Shao Fang in disbelief, and said hesitantly, "Aunt Shao, you..."

But Shao Fang seemed to have seen what he was going to say, and Xi Nan was interrupted before she spoke, "There is no mistake."

"That year you came to auntie's house to pay New Year's greetings, and auntie prepared lucky money for you. Since then, auntie has decided to prepare lucky money for you every year." Shao Fang smiled and said, "But something happened later, you and Wan Guang ..."

Shao Fang paused, "...You haven't come to Auntie's house these few years, Auntie has prepared for you to save it up, and I will give it all to you whenever I have a chance." Shao Fang patted Xi Nan's hand and said with a smile, "This is no chance, our Nan'er is finally back."

"Auntie doesn't have any big wishes, and I don't ask you to be more promising." Shao Fang looked back and forth at the three of them, with tears in the corners of her eyes, "As long as you are in good health, being happy every day is enough."

Xi Nan had never experienced Shao Fang's tenderness in Yuan Ran's place, so now Xi Nan couldn't help but want to cry when he heard Shao Fang speak like this.

Seeing him like this, Shao Fang felt sorry for Xi Nan.She knew the situation of Xi Nan's family before, and later when Xi Nan went abroad, she kept learning about Xi Nan's recent situation from Xiang Wanguang. Naturally, she couldn't understand how miserable Xi Nan was, and because of these, she felt more and more fond of Xi Nan.

"Why are you crying during the Chinese New Year?" Shao Fang wiped away Xi Nan's tears and said with a smile, "You should be happy during the festival."

But it was fine if Shao Fang didn't say anything, as soon as she talked about Xi Nan, she couldn't control the emotions in her heart, tears fell down without money.Shao Fang couldn't comfort Xi Nan well, and was anxious. She looked up at Xiang Wanguang who was still standing beside her, and glared at him and said, "Come here to coax Nan'er."

Seeing this, Xiang Chuqiu couldn't help laughing, then turned and left, leaving space for them.

Xiang Wanguang didn't expect Shao Fang to be like this, after a while, as Shao Fang said, he stretched out his hand to hug Xi Nan into his arms, and comforted him softly.

The embrace of his sweetheart made Xi Nan relax slowly.

Seeing that Xi Nan stopped crying, Shao Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief.She smiled and said, "There must be a lot of people playing below in the community, will you go down to play later?"

Xiang Wanguang looked down at Xi Nan who was crying and had red eyes, patted him on the back distressedly, and replied, "Go." Xiang Wanguang paused for a moment, then added, "Tonight's New Year's Eve."

Shao Fang nodded to show that she understood, and seeing that Xi Nan was still in Xiang Wanguang's arms and refused to come out, she couldn't help laughing, and told her, "Coax people well."

After finishing speaking, Shao Fang turned around and went back to the room, not knowing what to do.

Seeing that they had all left, Xiang Wanguang lowered his head to look at Xi Nan, and asked softly, "Are you still crying?"

The initial energy is over, and now Xi Nan feels embarrassed after knowing it.his forehead

Putting her head on Xiang Wanguang's shoulder, she couldn't help shaking her head slightly when she heard him ask this question, "I'm not crying anymore."

"Just stop crying." Xiang Wanguang kissed Xi Nan's hair, "Walk with me?"

Xi Nan couldn't bear to let go, and hugged him tighter and tighter, "Can't wait for early autumn?"

"He has something to do." Xiang Wanguang explained, "It's just the two of us going down."

Xi Nan nodded, let go of his hands and followed Xiang Wanguang out the door.

As Shao Fang said, the community is very lively on the night of the New Year's Eve, and every household brings their children to play with fireworks.The snow that fell the night before hadn't completely melted yet, and brilliant sparks ignited on the snow, which was extremely beautiful.

When Xi Nan and Xiang Wanguang came down, people playing with fireworks could be seen everywhere. Seeing this, Xi Nan couldn't help feeling a little moved, and regretted not buying some small fireworks with Xiang Wanguang during the day.

Xiang Wanguang noticed Xi Nan's gaze, smiled and asked, "Want to play?"

"I really want to play." Xi Nan turned his head to look at Wan Guang, "But there is no way, is it?"

Xi Nan pursed his lips and motioned Xiang Wanguang to look at the shops outside the community, "It's [-] today, and it's so late, who still does business?" He paused, then added, "Just take a look, isn't it? want……"

"There is a way." Xiang Wanguang interrupted Xi Nan.

Xi Nan was puzzled, "Huh?"

Xiang Wanguang raised his chin slightly, telling Xi Nan to look forward.I saw a girl squatting on the ground by the fountain in the neighborhood to set off fireworks, while the boy standing next to her was holding a large handful of fairy sticks in his hand.

Xi Nan didn't understand what Xiang Wanguang wanted to express, so he looked at Xiang Wanguang suspiciously, hoping that he could explain to him.However, Xiang Wanguang didn't say a word, just smiled and walked towards those two people.

Xi Nan was puzzled, but he didn't ask any further questions, he just silently followed Xiang Wanguang's pace, and then he blushed, because Xi Nan never thought that Xiang Wanguang would ask that boy for a fairy stick, What's more, he didn't expect that when the boy asked why, Xiang Wanguang would smile and say that the children at home wanted to play.

Little friend Xi, who witnessed the whole process right next to him, blushed instantly, and his whole body burned uncontrollably.

Xiang Wanguang, who came back after looking for a boy to change things, saw Xi Nan who was blushing and looking at him shyly.

Seeing this, Xiang Wanguang's heart softened, he couldn't help rubbing Xi Nan's head, then handed the things in his hand to Xi Nan, and said with a smile, "Nan Nan can play now too."

Xi Nan took the fairy wand and lighter from Xiang Wanguang's hand, the corner of his mouth uncontrollably picked it up, and said angrily, "I'm so ashamed."

But Xiang Wanguang didn't care so much, he just looked at Xi Nan and asked, "Do you want to play?"

Xi Nan subconsciously flirted with Xiang Wanguang for a while, and when Xiang Wanguang asked him seriously, Xi Nan naturally nodded and agreed.

Xi Nan took a fairy wand, pressed the lighter hard to ignite the fairy wand, and the next second the fairy wand exploded, resembling a bright galaxy.

"Xiang Wanguang, look!" Xi Nan held up the crackling fairy stick to Xiang Wanguang's eyes, "Does it look good?"

Fearing that the fairy sticks would run out, Xi Nan hurriedly lit another one to make sure that the beautiful fireworks would not be heard.And Xiang Wanguang watched Xi Nan play with a smile on his face, and when he reached out to get a new one, he offered him one.

There are constant chatters in the community, and occasionally one or two bursts of laughter. The fireworks lit one after another are like lamps, illuminating different corners of the community, and the snow on the ground is the best background color, matching the fireworks , It just adds to the flavor of the year.

Several bunches of fairy sticks were ignited together, and the fireworks instantly became huge, like stars in the sky for a while, making people unable to move their eyes away.

But for Xiang Wanguang, what really made him unable to divert his attention was Xi Nan's smiling face behind the fireworks, and Xi Nan's beautiful eyes filled with stars.

Seeing Xi Nan like this, Xiang Wanguang suddenly felt that there was no need for him to persevere, and he had to wait until a special day to say those words to Xi Nan.

Just like the popular Weibo post on Weibo for a while said, I love you, say it as many times as you want today, never wait until the next sunrise, after all, life and death are impermanent, and no one can guess the next second

What will happen.

So when Xi Nan called his name again and asked him to watch the burning fireworks, Xiang Wanguang looked back at Xi Nan with a smile on his face, pushed Xi Nan's hand holding the fairy wand aside, and then moved closer to him, Kissed him on the lips before asking in a low voice, "Nannan, it's the new year, let's get back together, okay?"

Buying a plane ticket to visit Xi Nan secretly, and spending time with him during the holidays is enough for Xiang Wanguang. Xiang Wanguang only wants to be able to say happy new year to Xi Nan as soon as he turns around every New Year's Eve, followed by a long-lasting relationship. kiss.

Instead of just standing downstairs and looking up at Xi Nan upstairs, saying to himself a Happy New Year Nan Nan.
