The seven-person team's rescue operation in the sea was successfully completed after five days. Although they spent four days just playing, they still felt excited that they had done something big when they got off the plane.
I felt very dynamic while walking, but my luggage was a bit in the way.
After a group of people put on winter clothes in the toilet, they marched out of the arrival hall.
A minute later they all turned back.
"Where is your sister?" Huo Ran asked Kou Chen.
"I don't know. I'll give Lao Yang a call," Kou Chen said. "It should be here soon."
In fact, several people's families said they would come to pick them up, but their aggressive momentum had not subsided, so they all refused and decided to take Kou Xiao and Lao Yang's car back together. To be precise, Kou Xiao and Lao Yang took them back one by one.
.
"Are you tired?" Xu Zhifan asked.
"It's not bad," Xu Chuan moved his arms, "I've had a lot of fun these days. To be honest, I can't even feel tired."
"The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are only a few days before the New Year," Xu Zhifan poked at his cell phone, probably sending a message to his family, "How about the third and fourth day of the Lunar New Year, when are you free?"
"Invite you to dinner?" Kou Chen dialed Lao Yang's phone number and asked while hanging on Huo Ran's shoulder.
"Well, let's get together. Go to my house or restaurant. I'm afraid someone will fight with me to pay the bill," Xu Zhifan smiled, "I can't beat them."
"Fuck." Kou Chen smiled and clicked his tongue. The call went through. Lao Yang quickly answered the phone. Kou Chen heard the music playing in the car, "Not here yet? We've been here for a long time."
"The parking lot is open," Lao Yang said, "You can come over."
"Let's go," Kou Chen hung up the phone, "They have entered the parking lot."
Lao Yang and Kou Xiao's cars were divided into two routes. They picked up those who lived on the same line and drove out of the airport separately.
Huo Ran was with Kou Chen and Xu Zhifan. They lived closer to the airport, and Kou Xiao had to work overtime at night, so he took someone nearby.
A group of people have been together for the past few days and have been so noisy that they were still chatting like they were quarreling until they reached the parking lot.
At this moment, the person was divided into two halves and sat in the car again. The surroundings suddenly became quiet, and Huo Ran began to feel tired.
He glanced at Xu Zhifan, who was sitting next to him and still poking at his phone: "Are you talking to your mother?"
"She bought a bunch of New Year's goods and is still shopping in the supermarket right now," Xu Zhifan nodded, "She wants to help me buy underwear. I'm really impressed. Does this count as New Year's goods?"
"Even if it's red," Kou Chen laughed in the passenger seat, "My family wears red underwear every New Year, and my sister can match ten kinds of red."
"Kou Chen!" Kou Xiao shouted, "Are you out of your mind?"
Huo Ran tilted his head and smiled silently.
"I'll forget about it now." Xu Zhifan said with a smile.
"He complains all the time that I beat him since he was a child," Kou Xiao said. "The word "Qian" is flowing in his blood."
Huo Ran glanced at Kou Chen, who was smiling with his head raised, looking handsome.
Xu Zhifan got off the car at the supermarket next to his home and said he would go directly to the supermarket to pick up his mother and take her home.
"Contact me in the group." Huo Ran said.
"Remember to set aside time to party." Xu Zhifan closed the car door and ran into the supermarket.
Just as Kou Xiao was about to drive, Kou Chen opened the car door and said a series of: "Wait, wait, wait..."
"What are you doing?" Kou Xiao looked at him and stepped on the brakes, "Pee?"
Kou Chen didn't say anything, got into the car in front, opened the back door, and sat next to Huo Ran: "Okay, let's go."
"Of course I'm annoying you to death. No dog is as clingy as you." Kou Xiao drove out.
"Who said that?" Kou Chen leaned against Huo Ran, "I'll go back later and you can see how sticky Shuai Shuai will be on me. He will definitely sleep in my room at night."
It was not a long journey from Xu Zhifan's house to Huo Ran's house. When he was approaching the gate of the community, Huo Ran suddenly didn't want to get out of the car.
It feels like I haven't had enough fun.
Moreover, he and Kou Chen have been living in the same house for the past few days. They get up together in the morning, go out together, play together, come back together again, and talk together again in the evening.
He had become accustomed to this kind of more frequent and closer interaction than when he was in school. Suddenly, he found that this pleasant life was going to end in a few minutes, and he suddenly felt reluctant to let go.
"Does your family go out of town for the Chinese New Year?" Kou Chen asked him.
"I'm not going," Huo Ran said, "My relatives are all local, and each family takes turns cooking during the New Year... What about you?"
"I used to go back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year, but I won't go back this year," Kou Chen said. "My dad brought my grandfather and his family over."
"The old man is annoying me to death," Kou Xiao sighed, "I started practicing in the backyard at five o'clock in the morning. Ah! Ah! Ah! He kept shouting for half an hour without stopping. What was he practicing?"
Kou Chen laughed for a long time: "He said it was for lung capacity training. I didn't shout for such a long time before. It's only ten minutes. Maybe I think the backyard is clean. Tell him, he's disturbing you to sleep."
"Forget it," Kou Xiao said, "I won't be staying for long. It's the New Year. He can come as he pleases."
"Is your family busy during the New Year?" Kou Chen sat up and turned to look at Huo Ran.
"I'm not busy," Huo Ran glanced at him, "Are you going to my house?"
"Fuck," Kou Chen gave him a thumbs up, "Does this count as telepathy?"
"It doesn't matter," Huo Ran said, "you have already hinted clearly."
Kou Xiao laughed in front.
"Then shall I go and play with you?" Kou Chen ignored Kou Xiao's wild laughter.
"Well," Huo Ran nodded, "Don't go suddenly. If I go out, you should call first."
"Then you won't be home even if I beat you." Kou Chen said.
"I'll be there right after you hit me. If you want to go, I won't go out." Huo Ran said.
"Holy shit! Did you hear that! Kou Xiao!" Kou Chen kicked the backrest of the driver's seat very happily, "Did you hear that? I'm going to go, and he won't go out."
"I heard you were going to be beaten to death by me!" Kou Xiao shouted, "try kicking me again."
Kou Chen retracted his leg happily, stretched out his hand and rubbed Huo Ran's leg vigorously.
When Huo Ran got out of the car, he felt that his legs were still hot.
After returning home, his parents were not overjoyed to see him again after a long separation. After all, it was normal for him to go out whenever he had a vacation. However, his mother was very satisfied with the various seafood he bought.
"Why is my son so awesome?" Mom rubbed his face. "He still remembers to buy New Year's goods when he goes out."
"This is not a New Year's product." Huo Ran felt that his face was distorted and his mouth was pouting when he spoke. "The main reason is that there is nothing to buy, so I just bought some specialties."
Seeing that his mother was happy, Huo Ran held on for ten seconds, then pulled his mother's hand away, took the bag and fled into the house.
As if he were a thief, he put his bag on the ground, blocked it with his body, and quickly took out the shining shell lamp. After hesitating, he put the lamp next to his usual night light.
I won’t open it anymore, but it has to be meaningful.
Moreover, this light looks much better when it is not turned on than when it is turned on. When it is not turned on, it is at least a shell.
"Xiaoran." Dad called him outside his door.
"Huh?" Huo Ran turned his head.
"This year's New Year's Eve dinner..." Dad paused.
"Are you going to eat at my aunt's house?" Huo Ran quickly realized that grandma was taken over by her aunt to live there. It was impossible for grandma to go back to the old house specially during the Chinese New Year, so everyone would go there together.
It’s normal to go to my aunt’s house.
"Yes," Dad said, "When you went to her house last time, did you have any conflict with her?"
"Holy shit," Huo Ran couldn't help but get angry, "Why, she told you?"
"I mentioned it, but I didn't say it in detail, and I didn't ask," Dad said, "If you feel uncomfortable, our family will not go and go to your grandma's house."
Huo Ran really wanted to say that that would be the best, but grandma would definitely be sad. His family has always taken turns, grandma this year, grandma next year, so on.
"Forget it, it won't be a big deal," Huo Ran said, "It won't hurt if we go to have a meal. I mainly want to spend time with grandma."
"Yeah," Dad nodded, "Let's go after eating."
"No, just follow the old habits... Dad," Huo Ran looked up at him, "Actually... just, how should I put it, you don't need to... spoil me too much."
"I'm not used to it," Dad said, "You can't say that we are used to you if we don't beat you."
"You have to get used to it," my mother said loudly in the living room, "My son is so cute, I just have to get used to it -"
"Ah..." Huo Ran threw himself on the bed and raised his voice.
The past two days before the year were hectic. Huo Ran felt that he had done nothing, but his time was filled up. He cleaned up the house, went to the market twice with his mother, and went shopping with the whole family.
A shopping mall...
The group is quite lively, and many people don't have time to go out, so they can only chat in the group when they have time.
Kou Chen seems to be very idle, no matter who talks, he is always there.
Huo Ran wanted to click on his name every time to chat privately, but he didn't click on it every time.
I can't say why, but I always feel a little embarrassed. After all, they rarely chatted privately before, and now they are a bit panicked about the New Year.
To be continued...
