Every household is a scene of joy, laughter, singing and dancing.
But Sang Xiaoyu felt a sense of complete helplessness and embarrassment on this reunion day.
She was actually a loner.
The mother left, and the son went to his grandma's house. Jiang Chunhui, the prodigal son, went home during the Spring Festival to be a husband and father, and it was said that there was a more romantic trip abroad.
A family of four went abroad to visit his parents.
Sang Xiaoyu listened to the sporadic sound of firecrackers outside and couldn't muster the energy to buy new year's goods.
When my mother left, she prepared a lot of meat and asked her to buy vegetables by herself. She also said that she couldn't hold on to the vegetables and must buy less.
Sang Xiaoyu took a look at the refrigerator and found that it was full of things, so she turned on the TV early and boredly watched the lively programs on various channels.
When Sang Xiaoyu got married, she bought a Japanese color TV. When the accident happened, she couldn't remember who took it away.
At that time, her mother also had a small color TV at home, which was confiscated when repaying debts. Sang Xiaoyu was afraid that her mother would be lonely, so she bought a second-hand black and white TV in the market.
When conditions were good, Sang Xiaoyu wanted to change to a colorful one more than once, but her mother disagreed, saying that she had no time to watch TV and wanted to help Ziqiao with her homework.
After several years, this black-and-white TV was still the main entertainment product of their family. Because it had to go upstairs, Sang Xiaoyu never mentioned changing it again.
The TV is already full of flowers, but in Sang Xiaoyu's world there are only two bright colors of black and white dancing.
Cheng Weiting made several phone calls and said that her mother asked her to go there, but Sang Xiaoyu kept refusing. She felt that it was no longer her little world.
My mother-in-law finally found out that they were divorced years ago.
Her mother-in-law had already guessed it, but she was still a little sad when she faced the truth. Sang Xiaoyu called and said that the seventh day of the lunar month was her birthday and she would definitely be there.
The mother-in-law said that your mother is not at home, so come over and have fun, her son is also there.
Sang Xiaoyu said that she had somewhere to go and she didn’t need to worry about her mother.
The mother-in-law let out a long sigh, saying that two people who are so well matched will be separated anyway...
Cheng Weize also called after his mother and said, come here, we are not just a couple or friends, but the mother of the child.
Sang Xiaoyu said that she had made an appointment with her friend.
Cheng Weize said, is it that bastard named Jiang?
Sang Xiaoyu was particularly angry. She thought it was interesting for Cheng Weize, a big man like him, to curse others. She didn't dare to curse in person, she only cursed to herself.
When he thought about the Chinese New Year and the possibility that his son might be by his side, he didn't explain it and just said it had nothing to do with him.
Cheng Weize was reluctant and sighed, saying how could you become so scary? You are a wild man with a family.
Sang Xiaoyu saw that he was not finished talking aggressively, so she said it would be good if you just take care of yourself, and put down the phone.
When it was almost four o'clock, Sang Xiaoyu heard the firecrackers outside and the sound of gunshots, which was louder than the first wave. She knew that every household was starting to have the reunion dinner, but she didn't even have the intention to make dumplings.
What on earth did she want to do?
So she opened the refrigerator and saw that it was full of cooked food products bought by Jiang Chunhui. She had no intention of cooking anymore and opened two bags, one of fish and one of chicken.
She cut two cucumbers and mixed a cold dish. As soon as she set the plate, Li Junhao's call came.
Li Junhao asked her if she was only with her son?
Sang Xiaoyu said that even her son ran away.
Li Junhao laughed loudly and asked how he could behave like him? We are in the same boat.
Sang Xiaoyu asked him why he was not with his mother?
Li Junhao said that his mother asked his aunt to take him to the countryside a long time ago. They called me repeatedly to ask me to go there, but I was too lazy to go.
Sang Xiaoyu said, what are you talking about, come here quickly, I don’t have any wine at home.
Li Junhao said okay, I'll take a taxi there and have a good drink.
Sang Xiaoyu said it’s not easy to take a taxi now, but Li Junhao said just leave it alone. Can’t I solve this little thing myself?
Sang Xiaoyu asked him not to bring anything, as he had everything at home.
Li Junhao hung up the phone, and Sang Xiaoyu laughed dumbly. The so-called everything he had was just makeshift.
She quickly opened the refrigerator again, took some ham and cut it into a plate.
Seeing as I have cabbage at home, it is impossible to stir-fry it with meat. The meat in the refrigerator has turned into a stone.
I had to find a roll of dried tofu and put it on a plate.
When Li Junhao arrived, Sang Xiaoyu was still thinking about making some dumplings.
Li Junhao's hands were not empty either, so he took a large convenience bag, which was also full of cooked food.
He took a look at the dishes and said, "You are really good at it. You can deal with it now. If I don't come, why don't you just eat the bread?"
Sang Xiaoyu said it wasn't that serious, but she really didn't want to do it, and she was bored. She also said she didn't know you were coming, and she would show off if she found out.
There were actually two live fish among the things Li Junhao brought. Li Junhao said that his best thing is cooking fish.
Sang Xiaoyu said she wanted to drink, please don't bother her anymore, okay?
Li Junhao put the fish in the sink, washed his hands, and opened the liquor.
Sang Xiaoyu said, do you need to prepare something for making dumplings?
Li Junhao said it's really boring, why don't you just join in the scene? You're not that vulgar, are you?
Sang Xiaoyu said this is not vulgar, but appropriate to the occasion.
Li Junhao said that I don’t want to eat, but I just want to drink.
Sang Xiaoyu glanced at the watch. It was almost five o'clock and it was still early to make dumplings, so she also went to the table.
Sang Xiaoyu said I don’t drink liquor.
Li Junhao took out a bottle of red wine from his bag and said, "This is all a problem in the past. It has been prepared for you a long time ago. Drinking this stuff is boring."
Sang Xiaoyu felt that she was most relaxed when she was with Li Junhao.
Drinking red wine is not as particular as when I was with Jiang Chunhui.
Sang Xiaoyu's house didn't have a bottle opener, so Li Junhao opened it with a screwdriver three or two times, and said that there are many problems with red wine.
Sang Xiaoyu didn't use a decanter and poured it directly into a goblet. Jiang Chunhui bought this goblet because he said that drinking red wine requires atmosphere.
Li Junhao poured himself white wine, while Sang Xiaoyu drank red wine.
Li Junhao asked her how much she could drink?
Sang Xiaoyu proudly said that one bottle of red wine should be fine.
Li Junhao said that fortunately I bought two bottles. I didn't expect you to drink them all in one day. I will come back tomorrow.
Li Junhao was obviously testing him. Sang Xiaoyu said noncommittally that the Chinese New Year was just that, which made him feel sad when he thought about it.
Li Junhao was afraid that she would think of sad things, so he said it was the New Year and he was not allowed to say such unhappy things.
Sang Xiaoyu said, what should we say?
Li Junhao said you should speak first.
Sang Xiaoyu just laughed and said let's play a game, guessing.
Li Junhao said that boxing is so enjoyable?
Sang Xiaoyu said she didn't know how.
The two started guessing, and Sang Xiaoyu won. Li Junhao quit, saying, "Are you lazy?" Sang Xiaoyu asked him to provide evidence.
Li Junhao said to another one, let's tell a joke. If the other person doesn't laugh, you have to drink.
Sang Xiaoyu wanted to tell jokes during the Chinese New Year, so she said you tell them first. I don't know much and don't have much sense of humor. She also emphasized that if the joke you tell has color in it, you will be punished to the end.
