As we were about to enter the courtyard, Yu Chengfei let go of my shoulders, took a deep breath and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm back!" The four adults came out to greet him, looking at Yu Chengfei happily. Yu's father laughed and said, "You little bastard, you are willing to come back?" As he said this, he strode over and actually stretched out his fist and hit Yu Chengfei's chest. Yu Chengfei still had a smile on his face, but I secretly said that it was not good. Yu Chengfei was seriously injured, and if he was hit by Yu's father's punch, he would probably fall to the ground on the spot. I quickly reached out and grabbed Yu's father's fist. Yu's father said in surprise, "Haohao, what are you doing?" I said, "I want the New Year's money!"
Father Yu laughed: "I'll give you New Year's money tomorrow after you kowtow!" Yu Chengfei took this opportunity to quickly get out of the way and go talk to his mother. Mother Yu asked about their well-being, and the family went in happily. We live in a bungalow, so there is no heating, just a stove in the living room. As soon as Yu Chengfei came back, my mother went to make dumplings, and we sat down around the stove.
Yu's mother hadn't seen Yu Chengfei for a long time, and she kept talking to him, leaving Yu Chengfei no chance to go to bed. I watched his face getting paler and paler, and beads of sweat dripped down his forehead. My father asked anxiously, "Fei Zi, what's wrong with you?" Yu Chengfei smiled and said, "Nothing. I'm just a little sleepy." I quickly took advantage of the opportunity to say, "Brother Yu, go to bed quickly." Then I stood up and pretended to help him go to bed. Yu's father glared and said, "You just came back and you're going to sleep. Can't you watch the Spring Festival Gala?" Yu Chengfei stopped talking when he heard it, but Yu's mother felt sorry for him and said, "The child can sleep, it's not like you don't want to."
At this moment, my mother brought dumplings over and said, "At least eat before going to bed." Yu Chengfei nodded, took the chopsticks and lowered his head to eat. I saw his hands shaking slightly, but the others were chatting and laughing and didn't notice. After Yu Chengfei finished eating, sweat was dripping from his forehead. Because it was hot by the stove, everyone was suspicious. I quickly said, "Brother Yu, you should go to bed!" and stood up and pretended to send him off. Yu Chengfei smiled and said, "Okay." He also stood up, pretending to be intimate with me, and put his arm around my shoulders, but actually asked me to support him. After leaving my house, Yu Chengfei stumbled and almost fell to the ground. "Brother Yu!" I shouted nervously, and quickly bent down to carry him on my back.
"It's okay, no need." Yu Chengfei patted my back: "I just sweated too much, and now I can't stand the wind. Keep supporting me." I had no choice but to continue supporting him, all the way to his house, and sent him to bed. Yu Chengfei lay down and said with a smile: "Wait until I get a big place, and then you can come over as a guest!" I nodded: "Okay!"
"Well, I'll go to sleep then." Yu Chengfei went to sleep as soon as he said he would, and closed his eyes immediately. I covered him with the quilt, locked the door, and left. I went back home and watched the Spring Festival Gala with the adults. That was the first year that I felt that the Spring Festival Gala was not good. None of the crosstalks and sketches were funny. I think it had something to do with my mood. But I think Yu Chengfei was happy because he killed Scar Zhang, and he became famous not only in the Bai Yanluo gang, but also in the entire South City underworld. In their opinion, the boss who dominated the vocational college must be really good, right?
The Spring Festival Gala lasted until twelve o'clock, and I went out to set off two firecrackers, one for my family and one for Yu Chengfei's family.
From today on, I am eighteen years old and an adult!
I still remember this event last year, amid the crackling sound of firecrackers, Yu Chengfei shouted out the wish that I didn't hear. But now I can guess that he hopes to put the entire Beiyuan City under his feet.
As usual, on a night like this, with the whole town filled with the sound of cannon fire, I shouted at the top of my lungs:
"I'm eighteen years old! Let Brother Yu become the king of the underworld in Beiyuan City!"
Now that I’m eighteen years old, I no longer have to follow the rule of staying up all night on New Year’s Eve like little kids, so after I set off the firecrackers I went back to sleep.
