On the first day of the Lunar New Year, amid the sound of firecrackers, Lin Jingbei received a call from an old friend in his distant hometown.
As soon as the call was connected, Shi Lei's distinctive wailing sound penetrated his eardrums through the phone, almost shattering them.
Shi Lei: "Brother Bei, I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally the New Year is here. Why don't you come home? I haven't seen you for half a year. I miss you so much, Brother Bei, when will you come back?"
Then, the call was answered by Wang Youwei. He was calmer than Shi Lei, but he missed Song Chen as he hadn't seen him for a long time.
"Brother Bei, why didn't you come back this year? Lei Zi and I can't find anyone to play basketball with us."
The long-awaited New Year’s Day is not as happy as it used to be.
Lin Jingbei: "I don't have time. I've been training in Kyoto all this time. I won't be home until the 29th. I have to go back to training again tomorrow."
Shi Lei was puzzled: "What kind of training? Are you participating in any sports?"
That doesn't make sense.
What kind of crappy school is this? They don’t even have Chinese New Year holidays.
Lin Jingbei: "Did you participate in the National High School Physics Competition? Oh, and I've already received a place in the university. I'll be attending university this September. I'll be waiting for you in Shanghai."
The sky was falling, and they couldn’t understand anything Brother Bei said.
What do you mean by going to college, physics competition, and admission quota?
What are these?
He was already the youngest in the class, and now he's skipping high school and going to college?
Going to college at 15?
The two of them were no longer calm.
It’s hard to say whether they can get into Shanghai, but Brother Bei actually went to university early.
Missed it!
Wang Youwei: "I think I've heard of the Middle School Physics Competition, but I didn't sign up. A few people from our school participated, but none of them won. Brother Bei, you not only made it to the finals but also won a place. Didn't you take first place? You're still so amazing."
Sincere praise.
Lin Jingbei: "You guys should do your best too. I'll wait for you in Shanghai and take you to play here."
"Goodbye, Brother Bei, we can't go." Shi Lei sighed: "I don't know how Ye Zi is doing now. Brother Bei, have you contacted him? How is he doing in Gangcheng? Has he been cheated?"
"No, I haven't heard from him either. He might be very busy. What gifts do you want? I'll send you some specialties from Kyoto when I get there."
Shi Lei: "I don't want any gifts, I just want to see you. Oh, when can I go to Shanghai?"
Lin Jingbei's ears ached from howling: "I'll be back next year during the Chinese New Year."
But, the year has just begun, how can we wait until the end of the year? There are still more than 300 days left.
As Shi Lei was talking, he and Wang Youwei both cried.
The crying sound was heard by the deer in the forest.
Lin Lu asked: "Who called you?"
"Leizi and Youwei."
Lin Lu: "We haven't seen each other for so long, they must be missing you. Do you want to go out and buy some gifts and send them back?"
The older we get, the more indifferent our friendships become, especially those from our childhood.
Friends are temporary, and it seems difficult to keep good friends from childhood, but she wants to help her children protect this innocence.
This child is slow to warm up and seldom takes the initiative to make friends, but once he defines someone as a friend, he takes that person to heart.
Therefore, Lin Lu really didn't want him to have any regrets. Friendship is really a wonderful thing. When people have no contact and no topics to talk about, it will be buried in time.
Lin Jingbei: "I'll buy them and send them over when I get to Kyoto."
Lin Lu thought about the fact that he would be going back tomorrow, and she felt reluctant to let him go. "Want to go out for a walk? Want to buy something to bring back?"
To be honest, it was still quite cold outside, and Lin Jingbei just wanted to stay at home with his family all day.
"No, let's just chat at home."
Song Chen went to the supermarket again in the morning. It had just opened and was like a newborn baby, requiring parents' constant care.
Song Chen invested nearly 100,000 yuan, so he must do it well.
You know what, after their drinks were put on the shelves, their value increased several times, and the repurchase rate is also very good.
Lin Lu suggested: "How about our family go out to see a movie together tonight?"
It seems that a comedy movie will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year this year. Lin Lu accidentally caught a glimpse of the promotion while shopping.
"OK."
Li Xianglian and Lin Lu had never been to a movie theater before, so they asked, "What's it like inside? Is it like the ones in the threshing grounds back home, where you just hang a piece of cloth and watch."
Lin Lu: "It's similar, but still a little different. You'll know when I take you there."
Li Xianglian: "Do you want to bring your own stool?"
Lin Lu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "No need, just go over there."
——
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, each TV station had its own program. Li Xianglian looked at the child singing on TV and felt that he looked familiar. "Bei, come and see if this boy looks like Xiaoye. My eyesight isn't very good, so I can't see clearly, but I think his figure is quite similar."
The mother and son looked over and saw a singing program on TV, which was a song about reunion.
And the boy wearing makeup and a red suit and singing was indeed Xia Ye. He was standing in the middle, and the four people next to him should be his teammates.
"It's him. Ye Zi really went on stage. That's great." Lin Jingbei was ecstatic and happy for his friend's success.
Lin Lu: "He sang well. I've never heard him sing before."
