The Chinese New Year is the year of reunion. Thousands of families have been torn apart by the cause, but as long as the family is still there, there will always be reunion.

The crackling of firecrackers outside the window covered the singing and dancing of the Spring Festival Gala that no one was watching on TV.Every year on this day, the rusty TV set that has been home for a long time will emit a loud roar, but the effect is the same as the red earth outside the window, and it is lively to listen to.The noisy background sound can't stop people's enthusiasm, children and old people are still laughing, even if they can't hear each other clearly.

The enthusiasm of the family makes the atmosphere look very happy, but the truly lonely people hide behind the joy and turn into blurred statues.Happy emotions can easily cover up personal abnormalities. At most, when aunts and aunts share photos, they shamelessly enlarge your profile picture and ask with a joke: "Yo! Xiao Yunzhou's face is so long, you are not happy!"

The descendants of the Fang family are prosperous, and there are many relatives near and far.Every New Year's Day, when the seven aunts and eight aunts gather together, Fang Yunzhou quietly makes mushrooms and never speaks on his own initiative.It's a pity that he is so good-looking, even if he looks like he dares to come over and chop you up, he still can't avoid the attention.Auntie is well-informed, no one has ever seen a rebellious teenager in the second grade, and the children in the family have similar morals.

After entering the door, Fang Yunzhou seized the corner of the sofa and fiddled with the phone mechanically, but his eyes were out of focus.Others don't understand his state, but Fang Jia can see it.With a wave of his hand, the chocolates packaged in foreign languages ​​were scattered on the coffee table, and the brats rushed up and started grabbing them madly.Fang Jia took the opportunity to seize the seat, and sat on the sofa with her big baby brother in her arms.

"What's the matter, Zhou Zhou, it seems that he is not in a high mood."

Fang Yunzhou listlessly avoided the topic: "No, I played games all night last night."

"Stop talking! I didn't see you online yesterday." Fang Jia squinted her eyes, trying to find a flaw in her younger brother's expression of death, but unfortunately there was none, and said deceitfully, "Are you in a relationship?"

"No!" Fang Yunzhou reacted violently, as if someone stepped on his tail, "You don't have a boyfriend yourself, don't ask me! I'm thinking about the company."

"Okay, okay, I didn't talk about it, absolutely nothing, this pure appearance is a virgin!" Fang Jia followed the good advice, put his hands into his brother's creaking hole and lifted him up, "I don't want to do business during the holiday, let's go and help Grandma makes dumplings!"

After waking up the noodles, pulling the jelly, and rolling the skin, Fang Yunzhou walked into the kitchen without a word, grabbed the basin and started working.The rolling pin moves regularly, and the thin dough is flying under the hands. After rolling out a sheet, it is thrown forward, and a small mountain is quickly piled up.Seeing that the basin bottomed out, Fang Yunzhou let out a breath, only to find that the surroundings were quiet.

Mother Fang twisted a piece of dumpling wrapper, which was thin on the outside and thick on the inside, and the shape was very round.She dug a bunch of sauerkraut and winked: "Is this really my son?"

Fang Jia slapped the back of his mother's hand, grabbed the spoon, and squeezed a dumpling: "Stop making a fuss, didn't you see that he was in a bad mood?"

Aunt Fang squeezed a piece of leek stuffing with one hand, wrapped it blindly the whole time, her eyes were busy gossiping: "What's wrong, who messed with Zhou Zhou?"

Fang's mother looked at the sky, Fang Jia looked at the ground, and fell silent for a moment.

Grandma Fang was old and dim-sighted. After setting up a pair of dumplings, she said happily, "It would be nice to have a big grandson. When he grows up, he can help grandma make dumplings!"

Without waiting for the old lady to continue her movements, the boy jumped at the old man from behind, rubbed his forehead affectionately against the grandmother's stamina, grabbed the bamboo curtain and ran away. "I can also cook dumplings for you!"

The old man was staggered by the bump, and after being a tumbler for a long time, he shook happily: "It must be my grandson, hey, he knows how to love grandma the most!"

The fat dumplings floated up and down with the boiling water. Fang Yunzhou held the colander and stirred the fat dumplings in the pot to prevent them from sticking.In less than two months, he has become so proficient in handling pasta.The family is busy with business, and the big reunion is only once a year. Grandma is getting older, and she will see her once less.Since childhood, he has been favored by his elders and relatives, but he always responds with a mournful face, which is too capricious.Young people always like to be entangled in the emotions in front of them, ignoring the care of their loved ones.

The elders washed their hands and went back to the sofa to watch TV.Fang Jia closed the door, and there were only two siblings left in the kitchen.Steam filled the stove, and the room was silent for a moment.After another half hour, Fang Yunzhou packed the dumplings and was about to take them outside, but when he reached the door, he was grabbed by the wrist.

"My brother is so good, he deserves someone better to love you."

Hearing this, Fang Yunzhou's eyes still got wet. He blinked, broke free from the bound hands, and winked slightly: "I know I'm cute, but what I'm curious about is, why are you so cute?" Knowing that I didn't play all night, could it be that you played Obi Island all night?"

In the third year of junior high school, Jiang Yao's family came to pay New Year's greetings.Fang Yunzhou was already in a very good condition at this time, and he greeted relatives, friends and elders very naturally.

The two families have known each other for many years, the old lady of the Fang family smiled when she saw Jiang Yao, and pulled him to sit beside her to ask questions.Responding to the old lady's question, Jiang Yao paid attention, and took a moment to glance at Fang Yunzhou's face, unable to see why.Taking advantage of the time when the neighbor came to pay the old lady New Year's greetings, she got up nimbly and brought her friend into the room.

Pushing the person, inserting the door, and then skillfully tearing the other person's clothes up and down to check, just like an old hooligan who has been committing crimes for many years, his movements are skillful and done in one go.Fang Yunzhou didn't know what she meant at first, so he let it go without resistance.I saw the woman lifted her wrist, let out a long breath, and didn't cut her wrist; checked her eyelids and checked, she didn't suffer from insomnia; sniffed her mouth and nose, she didn't drink too much; pulled her clothes and sniffed, she didn't take a bath!

"Go away!" Fang Yunzhou finally couldn't help but slapped the woman away, straightened his clothes, and even forgot that the lady was not a normal person at all, "There are so many people living in the house, whoever can take a bath is going to be too busy!"

"Tsk tsk, it's good to have a temper. Being angry proves that you are in good condition. Hehehe, this little character is still aggressive!"

"It can't be said to be good, but it has indeed come out. It's not good to show a sad face all the time for the New Year's Eve. It will get better gradually. You don't have to worry, I just need time."

Fang Yunzhou's bedroom is not big, with old-fashioned decoration, the solid wood floor has been carefully cared for, and it shines oily under the sunlight.

After high school, he seldom came back to live here, even if he occasionally returned to the garden, he would directly spend the night in the small apartment in the new district.Even so, the old man still kept this small sunny room, tidying up the items left over from the past.

The indoor lighting is very good, behind the inward sliding door is a small balcony.Cushions were spread on the floor, and the two sat on the ground very casually.The temperature on the balcony was lower than that in the room. Fortunately, it wasn't Jiang Yao's first time here. She found two blankets with ease, and threw one at Fang Yunzhou along the way.

Fang Yunzhou was still thinner, and the thick blanket couldn't cover up the thinness of his body, but it seemed more empty underneath.Observing with Jiang Yao's naked eyes, that slender waist lacked an arm in the past, and now it probably needs to be surrounded by both hands.

"It's a pity, our Zhou'er has lost weight again. I regret that I was born into a man. I wish I could be a man!"

"If you're a man, you must be very hot, I don't like it." Fang Yunzhou scorned, "It's because you eat too much vegetarian recently, and the nutritious meal with clear soup and little water is really unpalatable."

The day after Li Qiang was discharged from the hospital, Jiang Yao received a call from Fang Yunzhou.During this period, she was worried about her friend's condition, and she didn't see anyone at the door several times, and she never put the spare key where it was.

Poor Jiang Yao was in the shower when she received the call, and rushed back to the bedroom with foam on her head without even washing her hair.Fang Yunzhou on the other end of the phone had a hoarse voice, and it sounded like he hadn't spoken for a long time.

"Is he gone?"

"Who's gone, oh, Li... that who, gone, was discharged from the hospital yesterday." At this moment, Jiang Yao only knew that the two had conflicts, and the specific circumstances were unknown. She really contacted the person concerned, but she didn't know how to persuade her .

"Where's the body?" Fang Yunzhou nodded, not realizing that the other party couldn't see at all, and continued to ask questions slowly.

"The doctor said there is no problem, just pay attention to maintenance."

"Where's the card?"

"The card is given to him, but he still doesn't want it, should I take it back?"

……

The other party was silent again, and there was only a weak breathing sound in the channel, which strongly proved that the call was still going on.

Jiang Yao endured it for a long time, and sneezed first: "I'm going, boss, you should say something!"

"...I see." Fang Yunzhou replied hoarsely.

"Ah?" The sudden sound made Jiang Yao jump, "What do you know, what do you know?"

"Got it, he... I got it." Fang Yunzhou murmured.

Jiang Yao is a quick-tempered girl. In the old man's words, she is short-tempered. She was almost driven crazy by the phone call from her friend, so she couldn't help but speak a few words of persuasion.

"What the hell is going on with you two? Oh, I'm so anxious! Did he do something to make you unhappy? You are bored here, the more you think about it, the more you feel uncomfortable. Why don't we go over and beat him up together, If you can’t beat one meal or two, can some things be considered as a thing of the past?”

"That's not right, he was injured just now, so he shouldn't be beaten. Then let's be gentle, don't treat him like a patient, and let's deduct his salary. That's right, you are the boss, what are you doing!"

It sounds simple, but in fact there is no solution at all.Li Qiang is a straight man from the bottom of his heart, and he can commit himself to him because he is a straight man who has nowhere to go.When he was passionately in love, he didn't pay much attention to it. At this moment, Fang Yunzhou thought about it carefully, this relationship was originally bought with money.Li Qiang's attitude towards him can't be said to have no friendship at all, but it mostly comes from physical pleasure.

However, even in physical communication, Brother Qiang is rarely careful and gentle. Except for the first tenderness, even if he often takes the initiative after that, he is more forced to get straight to the point.Li Qiang always pays more attention to his own feelings and regards tears as an achievement, which makes Fang Yunzhou feel very uncomfortable.

After waiting for many years, Fang Yunzhou thought that this relationship was hard-won, so he tolerated and acquiesced in many things about the man, from attitude to behavior.After all, he changed into a different suit every day before going to bed, and he was the one who actively knelt at the man's feet to seduce him.

Cheng Ting's appearance finally shattered Fang Yunzhou's illusions. If they hadn't really separated all these years, put yourself in their shoes and think, how could the excitement of two months be better than the affection of ten years of mutual affection.

Fang Yunzhou knew that his unrequited love was over, he started it wishfully, and then he announced the end on his own initiative.Therefore, he had no way to respond to his friend's encouragement. He told Jiang Yao that things were different from what she thought, and there was no possibility between him and Li Qiang, so there was no need to make extra efforts.He just couldn't accept it for a while, and it took time to slow down.

Jiang Yao didn't know what to say anymore, comforting a lovelorn is not an easy task.People often like to be immersed in sad emotions, recalling the painful past like masochism, and persuasion will stimulate the other party to bring up the matter repeatedly.This is a kind of rebellious emotion that broke out out of wanting nothing, and what I asked was just why, why couldn't he love me, and no one could give the answer.

She tried to recall the past of her teenage years, gossip about the interesting stories of her classmates back then, and talk about the popular games recently, trying to divert the attention of the fragile human being opposite.

Fang Yunzhou didn't object to this topic. In fact, he didn't talk much, just kept silent. He didn't know if he listened to Jiang Yao, or he was just thinking about his own sadness.

The sound of the doorbell interrupted Jiang Yao's words. The ringing continued, and Jiang Yao could hear it clearly through the phone, but Fang Yunzhou didn't respond.

"It's over, what I just said is really useless," Jiang Yao yelled, "Go and open the door, Fang Yunzhou!"

Fang Yunzhou's ears were shaken, and just now he came back to his senses, he mechanically walked over to open the door, and found that the daily nutritious meal had arrived.

"Lunch is here, I'll have something to eat." Fang Yunzhou took the meal and instinctively judged that it was edible, so he told Jiang Yao.As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that his voice was hoarse than before.

"What's wrong with your throat, is it sick? Don't fool me, let me watch the video!"

Fang Yunzhou accepted the video obediently, but Jiang Yao couldn't judge the other party's state clearly.The boy sat alone in the huge living room, the doors and windows were closed, the curtains were all closed, and there was no light in the room.

Jiang Yao was taken aback. It was not hard to see her friend's gloomy mood. She tentatively asked, "Don't you still have to eat, so you might inhale it into your nostrils, right? Turn on the light?"

There was no response, Jiang Yao eased the atmosphere again: "What are you eating?"

This time, Fang Yunzhou did not face the air, and Fang Yunzhou announced the name of the dish as if he had endorsed it: "Yam Pork Rib Soup, Corn and Carrot Diced, Stir-fried Sliced ​​Melon, Cod Steak."

"So vegetarian! When did you like this kind of rabbit dish!"

...Yeah, no wonder he doesn't like it.Fang Yunzhou opened the lunch box, picked up the rice and put it in his mouth, but it was as hard to swallow as if he had swallowed some rough chaff: "I thought that his taste would be milder because he was injured, and he couldn't even do small things well. "

I only took one bite of the rice, but my throat was so swollen and sore that I couldn't even swallow the soup.Fang Yunzhou threw the chopsticks on the ground, covered his head with his hands and buried his knees, and finally cried.

"I tried my best, I thought they broke up long ago, I want to treat him better. I tried my best, Jiang Yao, but why does he like women... Why didn't I give birth two years earlier, if her childhood sweetheart was me , I am the one who will accompany him to start a business and wait for him to go to jail, so he can accept me..."

That day, Jiang Yao was recruited by her friends in the middle of her bath, chatted with her for an hour, cried with her for two hours, and finally caught a cold.Influenza caused a fever, Ms. Jiang hung up the bottle, and the aggrieved lady rushed to the apartment with the bottle, trying to drag the culprit into the sea of ​​suffering, but accidentally rescued Fang Yunzhou who was dying of high fever.

I don't know if time can make people forget everything, or maybe a serious illness can burn away many troubles in the mind.Jiang Yao still felt that Fang Yunzhou recovered faster, after all, even his physical ailments were not fully healed yet.Some people may only look weak on the surface, but the stubbornness in their bones is not self-willed, but stronger than ordinary people.

At this moment, Fang Yunzhou could finally talk about Li Qiang calmly.

"There is only one thing. I was in a bad mood at the time, so I left him alone in the hospital. I don't know if he is recovering well, but don't leave any sequelae. Not many people know about my situation, Jiang Yao , I still have to leave this matter to you."

Jiang Yao agreed, and she reckoned that Li Qiang would come back to City S to look for a job after the next year, that is, in a few days, and she would meet him some time later.

"Also, the situation in his family is very complicated. I don't know if the money I gave will be spent on him in the end. If... Forget it, let him go. I shouldn't care too much."

Seeing his entangled appearance, Jiang Yao felt her teeth sore, she couldn't help curling her lips: "If you really can't let go of him, just go to him, how can it be that he doesn't have you in his heart!"

Fang Yunzhou shook his head, his deep eyes penetrated Jiang Yao and looked further away, and smiled suddenly: "He has me in his heart, I can feel it, but it's not important anymore."

"He was the first person I fell in love with when I was 14 years old, and it has been more than ten years now. It's a pity that when I knew him, there was already someone around him. I knew I had no chance, I don’t want to destroy other people’s feelings, so I only dare to look at him from a distance, secretly fantasizing about being with him. Although a crush without hope is a bit tormented, it is also pure and beautiful. I cherish that relationship, it is not just An unrequited love, or most of my youth. You are right, I really can't let him go, and I will always remember every bit related to him..."

"Even so, I won't go to him again. I have my self-esteem, and stalking in this situation makes me feel cheap, and I don't want to be looked down upon by myself."

"Are you overkill?" Jiang Yao couldn't understand, "Isn't it you who chased him before? It's true that you paid a little more, but it didn't hurt your dignity! Could it be that you did too much and he didn't respond? , do you feel tired? You don’t have to break up, men can have sex!”

"Pfft," Fang Yunzhou was still smiling, the smile making Jiang Yao's scalp tingle, "If it's really pure that I chase him, I'd rather keep giving. I always feel that just being able to do things for him is already a kind of enjoyment. It's a pity... Maybe there is really no such fate. When I heard the news of his marriage, although I couldn’t do blessings, I also knew respect. Those small thoughts should be cut off. Therefore, I didn’t explore the authenticity of the news and never bothered again. He...it wasn't until a while ago that I saw him working as a security guard in City S by himself, and I didn't know that he probably had a very bad life these years. I was surprised that the throbbing in my heart was still there. I felt sorry for him and decided to help him I also secretly rejoiced despicably in my heart, mistakenly thought that he was single and was hurt by love, and then thought that if I treated him with consideration and concern, the chances of him being influenced were still very high. Although this small trick is not all bright , but my love is pure."

"It's just that all of this is based on the premise that he is single. I saw Cheng Ting supporting the blind him that day. Although there was no affection in his eyes, they were full of concern. I don't have much experience, but I have only seen it in the elders. This kind of demeanor is a kind of family affection that can only be obtained after many years of ups and downs. Li Qiang has been in prison for seven years, and everything in the family depends on Chengting to manage everything, including the job of security guard in S City. In comparison, it seems that I use Those who buy out with money are shallow-minded."

Having said that, Fang Yunzhou finally stopped smiling and leaned against the flower stand behind him.He sighed, and habitually went to help the broken hair in front of his forehead, only to realize that in order to meet his elders, he had already tied his long hair neatly behind his head.

"You know," he continued, "seeing the two of them standing together, I actually feel like a mistress, even though I was the one who was deceived, and I didn't do anything wrong."

Jiang Yao understood that it was true that Fang Yunzhou loved Li Qiang deeply, but his character was persistent and self-loving.He could insist on keeping a person in his heart for ten years, but when he heard the news of the other party's marriage, he resolutely withdrew, even blocking the opportunity to imagine.This kind of decisiveness is definitely not something ordinary people can do. Fang Yunzhou, who was 17 years old seven years ago, could do it, and Fang Yunzhou, who is 24 years old seven years later, can do the same.

Just like many years ago, he did not let go of Li Qiang completely, but kept him deep in his heart and never mentioned it again.

When the two returned to the living room, they were greeted by more than a dozen pairs of ambiguous and kind eyes, among which the eyes of the old lady of the Fang family were the hottest, as if the great-grandson could be spotted from Jiang Yao in the next second.

Miss Jiang also has a thick skin, she has long been used to the blind eyes of the elders, and she can naturally talk along with the words of the aunts and aunts.

"Yaoyao is 25, when are you going to get married?"

"Auntie, you remember wrongly, I'm only 24, don't be in a hurry!"

"That should be planned earlier. Do you want to marry into our family? If you are a neighbor, we will treat you as your own daughter."

"Oh, auntie, don't say that, she's still a baby, if I don't get married, won't you love me later?"

"They're all babies," Fang Jia also added to the topic, "Our Yunzhou is also a baby."

The author has something to say: More! ! ! !

…Brother Daqiang returned home after falling out of love, and what he faced was his mother's face of urging marriage.The depressed man escaped from the hot kang before dawn, put on a big padded jacket and strolled admiring the small river ditch at the entrance of the village.After wandering for a long time, I was hungry, so I still wanted to go home for dinner.When passing in front of my younger brother's house, I saw an unfamiliar face leading the yellow dog that needed to be beaten.With a raw face, he was tall, thin-skinned and tender-skinned, well-dressed, with a proud face of the elite.Several months of bodyguard career endowed Brother Qiang with a pair of discerning eyes. When he took a closer look, Brother Qiang suddenly felt that this person deserved to be beaten...
