Chapter 25
Grandpa stood on the escalator to put up Spring Festival couplets, and after he had finished pasting the door, Lu Yu took a picture of him, and asked the rest of them to take turns to put up couplets, and they all took pictures.
When he was a child, Chang Yue would post Spring Festival couplets every New Year. He took over the couplets and pasted them with rice paste fluently, without any crookedness.
When he arrived at Lu Yu, he still asked Lu Manman to take pictures for him.
In addition to posting Spring Festival couplets, the doors, walls, lintels and furniture are also pasted with blessings of various sizes, spring flowers are pasted on the windows, and red lanterns are hung in front of the doors and in the yard.After finishing it, the home was immediately infected with a new look.
On New Year's Eve, the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another nearby, and Lu Yu also set off a medium-length firecracker outside.Chang Qiao led Chang Yue and Lu Manman to hide behind the door, and everyone covered their ears tightly.
Firecrackers are lit, and the family sits together and begins to eat New Year's Eve dinner.
Today's dishes are more detailed than yesterday's. They are all nine dishes cooked according to the auspicious characters, and Chang Yue is full again.
"It's really delicious! Grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, and brother, uh, and me, everyone is amazing." After Lu Manman praised one, she didn't want to lose another one. In the end, regardless of whether she participated or not Everything from food production has been praised.
Everyone laughed.
"Good, good, good!" The old man was very happy.
After dinner, the table was replaced with melon and fruit snacks.
They watch the Spring Festival Gala by the fire and watch the New Year's Eve.
The adults played cards for a while, and Chang Yue took Lu Manman outside to play sky cannon and rowing cannon.Lu Manman was more courageous than him, and was so excited that when he was tired from playing, he stayed aside to watch her play, and occasionally took out his phone to take a few photos.
After all, Lu Manman was still young, and she had never kept the New Year's Eve before. She couldn't bear it at first, and her eyelids drooped after eleven o'clock. She was soon brought back to the room by Chang Qiao. Soon the two old people also felt sleepy. They were all persuaded to go to sleep.
Chang Yue stayed with his parents to continue watching the Spring Festival Gala.
It's almost twelve o'clock.
Chang Qiao was worried that Lu Manman would be frightened by the sound of firecrackers that were about to explode, so she went upstairs to guard her, while Chang Yue stayed with Lu Yu in the courtyard.
The host's countdown came from the house, and when the count reached zero, Lu Yu immediately lit a long firecracker, and the firecrackers crackled and exploded, Lu Yu quickly rushed to Chang Yue's side.
After a while, layers of firecrackers began to sound nearby.
Lu Yu smiled and asked, "Are you afraid?"
"A little bit." Chang Yue didn't dare to get too close. When he was a child, he always hid behind the door to watch grandpa play.
"Hahaha, take your time," Lu Yu touched the back of his head lightly, "you'll be more courageous in the future, go to sleep."
"Well, good night, Dad."
Lu Yu smiled, "Good night."
The sound of fireworks and firecrackers never stopped at night, some thumped in the ears, and some were wrapped in noise reducers.
The next day everyone woke up early, wished each other new year, the juniors received red envelopes, and the sound of firecrackers rang again during lunch.
The yard is full of firecrackers in red clothes, and everyone put on new clothes, standing or sitting in the yard.
Lu Yu fiddled with the camera for a while in front of the courtyard, and trotted to stand beside Chang Yue.With a click, the first photo of the new year was taken.
After paying New Year's greetings to his neighbors, Lu Yu had nothing to do, so he repaired the picture and posted it in the three-year-old family group.
Chang Yue came back with New Year's greetings, saw this group photo, and suddenly felt that this was the first time he had participated in the coming of the Spring Festival so truly.
He then clicked on Su Yan's profile picture.
On the chat page of the two, the latest news is the happy new year sent to each other, and the family portrait sent by Su Yan.Chang Yue also sent his own picture.
Chang Qiao came back this time and bought a big-screen smartphone for the two elderly people.Chang Yue helped them open a more cost-effective data package, and after a lot of tinkering, they were pulled into the family group.
Chang Yue first taught them the simple steps to use, and after repeating it a few times, they memorized the appearance of the icon.
In the next few days, he would practice with them every day.But the old people don’t rely much on mobile phones, plus they are getting older, they will always forget, sometimes they make a mistake and don’t know how to change it, sometimes they forget how to proceed to the next step, and they are afraid that it will be serious if they make a mistake As a result, I have never dared to make a move.
On the sixth day, Chang Yue instructed Lu Manman to draw some frequently used steps and procedures, and he wrote on the side.After finishing it, they pasted the oversized paper on the white wall next to the TV, and then guided the two elderly people to get familiar with it. It was really much simpler and more intuitive now.
On the opening day of the photo studio, Lu Yu went to develop some photos, bought a photo album and arranged them.He got two identical copies and kept one for the old man.
The photos in the album were selected by Lu Yu and everyone together in the past few days. There are recent ones and some taken in the past. As long as someone thinks it looks good or meaningful, they will all be washed out.
Chang Yue sat on the collapsed sofa and looked through.
There is a photo of him with his grandparents when he was two years old, one of the few photos of him when he was a child.It was my grandfather who suddenly remembered and dug it out from his previous mobile phone.
Chang Yue hasn't seen this photo since he was seven or eight years old. When he looked at it suddenly, he felt a little strange, as if the person in the photo was holding his grandmother's neck and looking at the camera shyly.
He is still very young in the photo, and his grandparents are much younger than they are now.
Chang Yue smiled, and suddenly felt a little sad after laughing.
It is clearly a freeze-frame photo of memory, but the eyes seem to be appreciating a brand-new scenery.There were too many pictures, and he looked at them carefully for a long time, but he couldn't remember when they were taken.
The scenes of the past 16 years, in his memory, are not half the thickness of the photo album in his hand.
Maybe many people in the world are the same, or more so than him, and have completely forgotten all about the past, but he suddenly cares, especially after seeing the old man's temples grow white.
Chang Yue returned to the room, opened his error correction book, flipped to the end, and wrote a sentence seriously.
There are many precious people and memories in your life, no matter how desperate you are, please don't choose to forget everything.
In the signature, he thought about it and wrote a string of English characters.
On the seventh day, Lu Yu and Chang Qiao will go back to work.
Chang Yue was reluctant to give up, and decided to delay going back until before class, and Lu Manman stayed here with him.
Chang Yue told Su Yan about this while chatting before going to bed.
In the next few days, he took Lu Manman to the places he visited when he was a child, the kindergarten he attended, and the elementary school he attended for half a semester. Every time he went to a place, he gave a simple introduction.
They also went to the market several times with their grandparents to help carry things.Most of the time, they stayed at home with the old man, during which Chang Yue tried to cook a few times.
The weather is gradually getting warmer, and people don't need a brazier to keep warm when they sit in the yard.
There are two rattan chairs in the courtyard, and a small round table in the middle, on which there are snacks made by grandma.Chang Yue and Lu Manman were sitting on wicker chairs, basking in the belated sun.
"elder brother."
"Ok?"
With the back of his head resting on his right hand, Chang Yue looked at the blue sky through the bare branches of the persimmon tree.
Lu Manman hesitated, "Have we visited all the places?"
"Ah."
Lu Manman turned her head to look at him, "Did my brother have no friends when he lived here?"
Chang Yue didn't speak.
He also runs into people he knows these days, but they are always awkward when they meet.Either the other party was evasive, or he was speechless. The two sides' words were hasty and not speculative. It turned out that it was his former friend.
"Well, my brother doesn't get along with them." Chang Yue said.
"Oh~" Lu Manman immediately changed the subject, "That's okay, brother, you just need brother Su Yan! The teacher said that the word "friend" is very precious, so it can only be used to refer to a few people!"
Chang Yue got the philosophy of life from her again, and couldn't help laughing, "Manman is right."
"Yeah!" Lu Manman nodded hard, "My brother is so good, only brother Su Yan found out, and others are not lucky!"
Hearing her serious tone, Chang Yue laughed again, "It seems that Manman is also very blessed."
"That's right, that's it!" Lu Manman's round eyes turned brightly.
After returning to the city, there are still four days before school starts.
Chang Yue looked at the message sent by Su Yan, and asked Chang Qiao tentatively: "Mom, Su Yan said that he has gone back to school, I will live with him for a few days, okay?"
"Okay!" Chang Qiao said without hesitation, "Go, you two haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a good time together for a few days."
"Then I'll be back before school starts."
"You take a change of clothes and go. Your dad and I will go to you directly on the first day of school, without going back and forth."
"...OK." Chang Yue said.
"Hey, don't be too busy cleaning up," Chang Qiao changed her words suddenly, "It's time to make dinner in an hour, why don't you ask Su Yan to come over to our house for dinner, and you can go there together after eating, and let him Try the dishes from our hometown."
Chang Qiao has a particularly good impression of Su Yan, and she likes to talk about him from time to time in her hometown.Chang Yue originally planned to go again tomorrow morning, but now that everything has been clearly arranged, he had to take out his mobile phone and ask Su Yan.
"Okay, I can't ask for it!" Su Yan didn't hesitate, "I'll come right away."
"Be careful on the road."
"understood."
Chang Yue counted the time and went to pick up people at the gate of the community with Lu Manman.
A few minutes later, a taxi came around the corner, slowing down, the window was lowered, and they soon saw Su Yan who was showing his upper body and waving in this direction.
Seeing that he was so excited, Lu Manman called "Brother Su Yan" and jumped up and down.
Chang Yue was also very happy, as soon as the car stopped, he walked over, Su Yan closed the car door, he just walked, and was hugged unexpectedly.
"It's like not seeing each other, like three autumns."
Su Yan whispered in his ear, as if she was afraid of being heard by Lu Manman, after all, a child of her age has all kinds of truths.
Chang Yue also hugged him subconsciously, and was a little speechless after hearing it, "How many autumns will it take?"
"57." Su Yan let go of him, looked into his eyes and said seriously.
Chang Yue didn't expect him to answer, and he was amused for a moment. $TITLE by $AUTHOR
