Chapter 124 A night for two, tacit understanding

Zhang Wanwan was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She turned around and looked at her father, "Dad, did my mom learn from a master? Is her skill going to be superb?"

Father Zhang drank a cup of tea and smiled comfortably, "It's because your mother has been hanging out with your uncle Li's aunt for too long and has heard all sorts of nonsense. Plus, she often tries new things in the store. We all eat there, so your mother is inevitably itching to try new things. She keeps saying she wants to make them for you guys to try, but she never had the chance. Today, she finally got her wish."

Zhang Wanwan swallowed her saliva and looked at Leng Ziyue with envy, "We are so lucky to have our first New Year's Eve dinner!"

"You can't envy it!" Leng Ziyue smiled wickedly, and went to find Zhang Baiyan with a curled mouth corner. At this time, his cell phone rang.

Zhang Wanwan looked over subconsciously and found that it was Tian Sen calling. She didn’t know what they talked about, but Leng Ziyue seemed a little unhappy.

Zhang Wanwan was worried, but she didn't show it on her face. When she heard the sound of firecrackers and fireworks outside, Zhang's mother greeted them cheerfully, "Everyone come over here, it's New Year's Eve!"

As the head of the family, Mr. Zhang raised his glass first and said with a smile, "A lot of things have happened in our family this year, and there have been a lot of changes. This is our first New Year in our new home, so let's have a toast!"

Everyone raised their glasses.

After drinking, Zhang's mother sighed, "I never thought I would have this day before, but now that I am living a good life, it feels unreal! Fortunately, we have finally come to an end. When both children graduate from college and have jobs, we will be completely at peace!"

Father Zhang silently toasted Mother Zhang.

Zhang Wanwan glanced at Leng Ziyue and whispered, "Eat quickly, no need to listen to their nagging."

Leng Ziyue just smiled and said nothing.

Father Zhang looked at him and asked curiously, "Xiao Leng, uncle still doesn't know where your home is. If you don't go back during the New Year, won't your family have any objections?"

Leng Ziyue shook his head, his face calm and calm, "Uncle, don't worry, I have been here since I was a child. Unless something big happens, I will not leave Pu City before the college entrance examination. They all know it, and they are too busy to come to see me, so they are used to it."

"How can I get used to this!" Zhang's mother said disapprovingly, and she picked up a piece of pork ribs for Leng Ziyue with a distressed look, "Eat it while it's hot. Since you're not going back, just eat and drink well with your uncle and aunt. We will definitely make sure you are plump and white!"

"Puff!" Zhang Wanwan covered her mouth and turned her head away, coughing violently. After she recovered, she complained, "Mom, can you please not say such shocking things? And you're still fat and white! You're raising pigs!"

After these words were spoken, everyone else couldn't hold back their laughter, even Leng Ziyue looked at him in a state of confusion.

Everyone gathered around the table and had a delicious New Year's Eve dinner. Zhang Wanwan was the first to leave. Zhang Baiyan accompanied his father to drink. Zhang's mother talked to them in a casual manner, either asking Zhang Baiyan about school matters or assigning tasks to Zhang's father. They were used to it.

Leng Ziyue couldn't drink alcohol, so Zhang's father sympathized with him and let him go early.

The two of them went out late at night. It was deserted and there were almost no people outside, only the noisy sounds of firecrackers and fireworks.

Leng Ziyue put his hands in his pockets, the light of the fireworks flashed across his face, leaving a moment of surprise.

"Where are you going?"

He looked at Zhang Wanwan with amusement, who was rarely willful. He didn't even realize how much he doted on and indulged her at this moment.

Zhang Wanwan ran to the sports center in the community, playing with the fitness equipment while looking at the sky. She was dressed so awkwardly that she couldn't even move properly, and looked like a penguin.

Lengzi was more afraid that she would fall, so he kept following her.

After a long while, Zhang Wanwan said excitedly, "Leng Ziyue, let's go set off fireworks too! The kind with baby's breath, the small ones."

A hint of confusion flashed across Leng Ziyue's eyes, but he still didn't refuse.

The two went to the store, bought several kinds of fireworks and firecrackers, and ran to the riverside.

There were hardly any people along the riverside on New Year's Eve, except for a few couples taking a walk.

The two men ran up to the stone arch bridge, opened the boxes of fireworks they had bought, and placed them from the beginning to the end of the bridge, attracting some pedestrians who were walking to look over here.

When the last firework burned out, Zhang Wanwan stood on the other side of the river, turned her head to look at the prosperity on the opposite side, and said silently in her heart: Zhang Wanwan, the suffering is over, and a brand new life is waiting for you!

Leng Ziyue patted his shoulder. Zhang Wanwan turned around and saw some worry in his eyes. She suddenly gave Leng Ziyue a hug and said sincerely: "Leng Ziyue, thank you, thank you for helping me so much, really!"

Leng Ziyue's heartbeat quickened by this sudden hug, and then he smiled self-deprecatingly and hugged her tightly, "Thank you for bringing me so much happiness!"

The two hugged for a while. Zhang Wanwan wanted to let go but found that Lengzi was holding her hand tighter. For some reason, her heartbeat quickened.

"Leng Leng Zi Yue."

"Wanwan, do you know? No matter what my college entrance examination results are, I will go to the United States! That's my last chance!" Leng Ziyue said reluctantly.

Zhang Wanwan's breath stagnated, and then she relaxed, letting Lengzi hold her more tightly. After a while, she raised her head from his arms and said firmly, "I believe your body can be cured. One day, you will be able to run on the playground like other people and drink like my brother!"

Leng Ziyue looked at her deeply, as if he wanted to engrave this moment in his soul. After a long while, he replied hoarsely: "Okay! Wait for me. I'll come back to see you when I'm cured!"

Now he doesn't even dare to say the most basic words of confession because he can't give her any future.

Zhang Wanwan smiled sweetly and nodded heavily, "Okay! I'll wait for you to come back after you recover!"

At this moment, a gorgeous firework bloomed above them, as if witnessing their promise to each other.

After this night, the two seemed to be more in tune with each other, and they were just one step away from breaking through the window paper.

The second day of the Chinese New Year is usually the day when Zhang's mother returns to her parents' home with her family.

Last year, Zhang's mother made lavish purchases like a nouveau riche. I thought she would be more restrained this year, but she went even further. Not only did she prepare red envelopes, she also bought a set of clothes for each of her nephews and nieces, which cost hundreds of dollars.

To be honest, children in the county town only buy new clothes twice a year. Once is when the season changes and their clothes become too short to wear, and once is during the Chinese New Year. It only costs one or two hundred yuan to buy a set of clothes for a child. Few families are willing to buy a set of clothes worth hundreds of yuan for their children.

Zhang Wanwan could foresee how crazy her cousins would go when they saw these things.

Father Zhang was not very supportive at first, and he said, "We bought so many things at once. Will we have to prepare like this every year for the New Year?"
