Time flies, and it is Christmas Eve. Because most teachers have to go out to attend classes together, the school decided to have a day off on the 24th, which is three days apart from the weekend.

Before the holiday, Nishino made an appointment with several people to spend Christmas Eve together. Because the school did not require evening self-study, it was just dark. Nishino, Tulong and Yan Ling went to the front of the rockery behind the school's teaching building. Most of the students went home, and only a few students like Nishino were too far away from home and still stayed at the school.

Not long after the three of them sat down, He Yan and Xu Xiaoqiao came over, and their roommate Liu Yanli, a short and fat girl also came over.

"There are quite a lot of people coming tonight." Xu Xiaoqiao greeted Xiye and the others from a distance.

"Yes, there are only people who have a world, and there are many people who are lively." Nishino smiled.

"What kind of show is there tonight?" He Yan casually found a place to sit down.

"Let's play here for a while and eat something first. Huang Liangmeng will come later. He said he would invite us to the school gate to KTV." Tulong replied.

Melon seeds, fruits and cakes were prepared in advance. Since most of the family conditions are not well-off, they don’t buy much of the things. Good students gather together on holidays mainly to chat, relax and exchange learning experiences. As for what to eat and how much to eat, it doesn’t matter.

When several people had prepared food on the stone table, Huang Liangmeng and another girl came late. He put the bag in his hand on the stone table, and while taking various snacks from the bag, he said to everyone: "Let me get to know you first. This is Amy from Wenyi Class 1 and my classmate in junior high school. Please take care of you in the future."

"Huang Liangmeng, you are indeed a wealthy man, bringing so many delicious foods. Let's see, there are fish-skin peanuts, candied dates, raisins... Hey, there are chicken legs? I love chicken legs the most, thank you. It must be a lot of money, Huang Liangmeng?" Tu Long talked, tearing a piece of wrapping paper containing chicken legs, picking up the chicken legs and stuffing them into his mouth.

"Don't you claim to be a vegetarian?" Nishino looked at Tulong's greedy appearance while looking at Amy up and down.

Sure enough, she is a beauty, about 1.65 meters tall, wearing a black casual outfit, a typical melon-shaped face, a pair of watery big eyes under her slender eyebrows, thin lips, and a little pointed chin.

At this time, Emmy was looking at everyone with a smile, with two shallow dimples on the corner of her mouth, which was very charming.

"That dimples can be filled with a small glass of wine. No wonder Huang Liangmeng likes her so much." Nishino thought.

Seeing Nishino silent and looking at her straightforwardly, Amy felt a little uncomfortable. She took the initiative to ask Nishino: "You are Nishino, right? I heard Huang Liangmeng talk about you. Thank you for saving him last time."

"We didn't do anything. Huang Liangmeng is from the same dormitory. It's time to help each other. It was a bit unexpected today. Huang Liangmeng actually brought you here. Please sit down—" Nishino made a gesture and greeted the girl very politely.

"I had something to do today, but Huang Liangmeng told me about your help last time. I'm here to thank you, it's also worth it."

"You're so polite, you're really too polite." Nishino was very embarrassed. He just did a small thing, but he was always thinking about it.

"I—" Aimey wanted to speak but stopped.

"What are you talking about? Come and eat, there are so many good things, if you don't eat, we can get the first step!" He Yan saw that Aimi seemed to want to say something else, so he deliberately interrupted the conversation between them.

"Oh, oh, some people are unhappy. Nishino, don't talk to strange girls, do you know? Otherwise, some people will be unhappy." Xu Xiaoqiao looked at He Yan while talking, with something in his words.

"Yes, yes. Someone is unhappy, and the consequences are very serious!" Unexpectedly, Yan Ling, who was usually dull, took the opportunity to echo. While shaking his head, he deliberately delayed the "drip" sound at the back, and the others burst into laughter.

"He will tell anyone he wants to talk to. Whatever he does, why do you all look at me?" He Yan muttered quietly while pinching a raisin with his thumb and index finger.

"We didn't say it was you. Are you not asking for advice?" Xu Xiaoqiao and He Yan looked flustered and smiled even more violently.

"Xu Xiaoqiao, let me say it again...Don't blame me for revealing your truth. Who said in the dormitory last night that there was a boy in our class who was both funny and humorous and brave. I also said that such a boy was dreaming of..." Seeing that Xu Xiaoqiao kept making fun of him, He Yan warned that he was going to use his trump card.

"Stop, stop. I won't say anything?" Seeing this, Xu Xiaoqiao quickly raised his hands and begged for mercy.

"Let's spare you this time, and I'll really give it my best if I talk nonsense in the future." He Yan grabbed a chicken leg and ate it.

"Come on, let's sing "yesterday                                                        

"Okay, who's the way to go?" Xu Xiaoqiao finally had a step to go down.

"Tulong, come--" He Yan clicked.

"No, no, it's better to come Nishino." Tulong said.

"Okay.clas*ates,please            flow                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             

The other students stood up, formed a semicircle, and sang together:

when        i        was        young        i'd        listenthe                forfavorite        songs.......it's        yesterday        once        lang                shalala        everywo        .

Nishino and He Yan sang the most vigorously. After singing, Amy couldn't help but exclaim: "I didn't expect Nishino to be handsome, but singing even more handsomely."

"That's natural, although Xiye is slightly inferior to Huangliang Meng at altitude." He Yan was very unsatisfied.

"What are you nervous? They sincerely praise you, and they won't rob the West. I'm afraid that the drunkard's intention is not about wine, but about the mountains and rivers!" Xu Xiaoqiao took the opportunity to reply to He Yan.

"Who is the drunkard, who is the mountains and rivers? There are mountains and rivers here, but there is no drunkard--" Tulong resolved the embarrassing scene.

"Everyone can do whatever he wants, without being restrained, and not being cautious. Come on, eat chicken legs--" Huang Liangmeng finally burst out with a sentence.

Everyone was laughing and joking, while eating snacks on the table. Time passed slowly in a cheerful atmosphere, and a bright moonlight slowly rose to the sky. The moonlight shone through the gaps in the surrounding bamboo forests and weaved various mottled shadows on the ground.

"Tonight, the moon is full, but I don't know who I miss you." Looking at the round moon in the sky, Xiye's homesickness was unknowingly sick. In a trance, he returned to the countryside that made me dream of, and to the low wooden house by the stream in the countryside.

I don’t know how my family is now, and I don’t know if my mother, who is not in good health, is still in good health. I haven’t been home for more than two months, so should the farmer at home be done?

Nishinoyaka often heard his grandmother say that his father, who had been to high school, had no chance to obtain public office for some reason, had to accept his fate. His father, who was in his fifties, was thrifty and frugal, and whenever he had time, he tried his best to go out to make money. After working hard a day, he only earned thirty or forty yuan, and his father barely struggled to maintain the livelihood of the family.

A few days ago, Nishino met his second uncle who went to work in the city by chance. He said that his father went to Guangdong to work after National Day. In order to ensure that Nishino's tutoring and going to college next year, his father, who had no skills, had to leave his hometown and work such a faraway place, and work on a construction site and work as a small worker. He has not received his letter yet, and he doesn't know how he is doing there.

Now the family is the only one who is going to school, and all the hopes of the family are placed on themselves. Nishino feels under great pressure. Whenever he thinks of his father's thin body, his mother's obvious hunchbacked figure just after fifty, and his grandmother's expectant gaze in heaven, Nishino's heart will ached faintly.

"What are you thinking?" Nishino suddenly became silent, and He Yan, who was sitting next to him, felt something was wrong.

"I miss home..." Nishino sighed.

"I often miss home, my parents, and younger brothers and sisters. A few days ago, I received a message from someone else, saying that my mother was in poor health recently and had a cold. I don't know how she is now." He Yan's expression was a little overcast. Nishino clearly saw a crystal tears gently turning in He Yan's eyes.

"Don't talk about these unhappy things. Today, everyone has a rare time to relax and have a good time. After tomorrow, class will be held again." Xu Xiaoqiao saw that both of them were in a low mood, and came over to comfort him.

"Let's go outside to sing? I haven't sang for a long time." Huang Liangmeng's addiction to singing came.

"Okay, go sing! Huang Liangmeng, I have never heard you sing." Nishino rubbed his chest, took a few deep breaths, stood up, and walked out of the school with everyone.

Everyone walked out of the school gate, crossed the road, walked forward for more than a hundred meters, and came to an open-air singing stall. Two or three people were ticking songs in front of the TV, and more than a dozen people were watching next to them, casually enjoying the inconsistent singing.

Nishino also likes singing very much. Although he doesn't sing well, he can more or less understand some tricks. Seeing that the people in front of him are obviously uneven and pronunciated, he shook his head gently, found a stool and sat down.

When the boss saw that the business came, he came forward and greeted him enthusiastically: "Do you want to come and sing? Please wait a moment, and it will be your turn soon." He skillfully took out the playlist, poured a cup of hot tea for everyone, and asked everyone to sit down.
