Chapter 26 Will Zhou Zhou also like her?
On New Year's Eve, Xu Yucheng got up early to help. In the yard, grandpa was watering his flowers, grandma and Xu's mother were washing vegetables, and Xu's father was not idle either, and he would help wherever he saw a need.
"Chengcheng, go with your grandpa and hang up the lanterns. Let's put up the couplets. It's the New Year, and it's a happy occasion."
I heard grandma's voice.
Xu Yucheng put down what she was holding and responded sweetly, "Okay!"
Father Xu came over and said, "I'll do it. Let Dad rest for a while."
Grandpa stood up immediately, his voice strong and full of smiles, "I am in good health, my granddaughter and I will come."
"Chengcheng, come and help grandpa."
Xu Yucheng took the lantern out of the house.
The lanterns needed to be hung high, and Xu's father watched over them.
There was laughter and joy in the courtyard.
The ingredients for the New Year's Eve dinner were almost ready. Grandma smiled and asked, "Chengcheng, do you want braised prawns or boiled prawns?"
Grandpa, still hanging the lantern, said aloud, "Braised in oil."
"I asked Chengcheng, and you didn't know you had high blood pressure."
Grandpa fell silent.
Xu Yucheng's eyebrows curved, "Burned."
The whole family knows that my grandfather has high blood pressure, so we usually avoid high-salt and high-sugar dishes.
"Xiao Chengcheng, today is New Year's Day, so grandpa wants to eat something spicy."
A dissatisfied voice came from my ear.
She said patiently, "Boiled shrimp is delicious too."
Grandpa came down the stairs, put his hands behind his back, and turned his head. "It's delicious when it's braised in oil."
Then he looked toward the window and said, "I want to put up a blessing character as well."
Xu Yucheng smiled and said, "I'll get it."
We worked hard all day and although we were a little tired, everyone had a smile on their face, a smile that was filled with happiness.
In the evening, a large table of delicious food was set out, the family sat around the table, and there was a cup in front of grandpa.
Just as everyone was getting ready to eat, grandma suddenly stood up and snatched the cup from grandpa.
"My wine!!"
Grandma took it away directly. The two of them had lived together for most of their lives and were already very familiar with each other.
"Dad, you're drinking again." This was said by Xu's mother.
Grandpa picked up a dumpling with a guilty conscience.
"Dad, for your health's sake, you can't drink."
Grandpa put down his chopsticks, his mouth almost pouting to the sky, "I just asked the neighbor Lao Wang for a small cup."
Ever since I was diagnosed with high blood pressure, there is no alcohol in my house. It has all been given away.
Xu Yucheng put some shrimp into his bowl and advised, "Grandpa, look, grandma and mom have been preparing for the whole afternoon and finally made such a big table of dishes."
As he spoke, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, his eyebrows curved, "Delicious."
At this moment, the old man handed over the bowl and said, "Give me some rice."
The house was peaceful.
After dinner, Xu Yucheng sat on the sofa and took out her cell phone to open WeChat.
Click on the first chat box.
[Ding ding ding! Have you had your New Year’s Eve dinner? ]
[Just about to eat, has Chengcheng eaten yet? ]
Looking at the message Zhou Yichen replied to instantly on her phone, she curled her lips and replied: [I have eaten, I am very full!]
"Chengcheng." Grandpa's voice came to my ears.
Xu Yucheng turned off her phone and stood up.
"Grandpa will take you to set off fireworks."
Fireworks, her eyes lit up.
The two grandsons were reminded to put on an extra coat before going out.
Coming to an open space just behind the house, Xu Yucheng turned on the flashlight and set off the fireworks in his hand.
A whole handful, with a fairy wand next to it.
Grandpa took out two fireworks like a child and leaned them against the stones he picked up.
"Come on, Chengcheng, let's order together."
It takes a while for the fireworks to stop burning before they burst out. Xu Yucheng moved closer with a lighter in her hand.
As soon as it was lit, grandpa pulled her hand and walked back.
After a while, two fireworks began to spray out. Unlike the fireworks seen on TV, they did not fly high or explode far, nor were they as gorgeous.
The fireworks stem in front of him was very thin, a long and slender one, and the fireworks that came out were just slightly higher than the house. But it was precisely this scene that made the old man and the child next to him laugh particularly happily.
After one is finished, another one follows.
The fairy wand was also lit. Xu Yucheng held it in one hand and took out his phone with the other, "Grandpa, let's take a picture."
"well."
Click - time froze at this moment, the light of the fairy wand illuminated the faces of the two people, and behind them were fireworks that were not very high or bright, and the smiles on their faces were particularly bright.
After returning home, Xu Yucheng posted the photo she took on her Moments.
Zhou Yichen, who was far away at home, saw it at first sight, clicked on the large picture to look at it carefully, and long-pressed it to save it.
After a while, Zheng Yu liked the post below.
Also commented: "Orange! Happy New Year!"
She also replied below.
As soon as I replied, a video call from Zhou Yichen popped up on my phone.
Xu Yucheng immediately held the phone upside down and said to the people on the sofa, "I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go back to my room first."
After saying that, he ran quickly in small steps.
Grandma on the sofa laughed at her, "You're so sleepy, but you're running like a little rabbit."
Inside the room, Xu Yucheng sat on a small stool, placed her phone on the table in front of her, and swiped to answer the call.
The face of the person opposite immediately appeared on the screen.
"Hello, Zhou Yichen!"
On the other side, Zhou Yichen took the pillow and leaned against it, his voice soft and gentle, "Chengcheng, Happy New Year."
Xu Yucheng placed her hands on the table, staring at the screen of her phone. "Happy New Year, Zhou Yichen!"
His brows furrowed slightly, as if she had always called him "Chengcheng" since he was a child.
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
"Why don't you try calling me by a different name?"
Xu Yucheng stared at him, changed his name, and then smiled, "Okay."
She supported her head with one hand, looked up, and murmured to herself, "Xiaochen?"
Then he shook his head. He was older than her and muttered to himself, "How about, Chenchen?"
"No, no, you have the same name as me."
Zhou Yichen over there looked at her with amusement.
"How about I call you Brother Yi?"
Zhou Yichen raised his eyebrows, "It's okay to call me that."
Xu Yuchen frowned again, "Xiao Zhou?" No, no, what's the difference between this and Xiaochen.
Looking at the light above my head in thought.
Zhou Yichen looked at the person on the screen. She was wearing a fluffy pink pajamas and had her hair tied up in a bun. Her pretty face was full of liveliness. She didn't even notice that her mouth was pouting. She twirled her fingers and wanted to rub her head.
"Zhou Zhou!!!" a cheerful voice rang out.
Xu Yucheng looked at him, "How is Zhou Zhou?"
Her eyes were as bright as stars, full of anticipation.
"Okay." Zhou Yichen's tone revealed helpless indulgence.
"Zhou Zhou! From now on I'll call you Zhou Zhou."
Xu Yucheng was telling him about the time when she and her grandfather went out to set off fireworks.
Zhou Yichen listened carefully.
At this moment, she was thinking: Maybe Zhou Zhou also likes me?
