Chapter 33 2. Visit

After Christmas is New Year's Day, the beginning of a new year. The day before New Year's Day, it snowed heavily in Beijing, and the sky and the earth were white, clean and lively. After watching the New Year's Eve party, it was almost early morning.I called Yuanyuan, and Yuanyuan said to me in a very low voice: "Coke, sorry, we are negotiating with the manufacturer, I will get back to you later." About an hour later, when I was almost falling asleep in a daze, Yuanyuan's call came back. I hugged the microphone and giggled, "You know, it's snowing in Beijing. I really miss the time we made snowmen together when we were young, and I miss you too."

Yuanyuan didn't speak, so I continued to talk, anyway, the two of us were either she nagging or me nagging. "...I miss my mother too." I still miss Xiao Yuan, but I didn't say it out, fearing that Yuanyuan would scold me for being worthless, "Without you, I feel very lonely, like a fish floating in the ocean." A piece of driftwood..." "You still have me!" I was taken aback by this male voice, "Why didn't you tell me Happy New Year's Day? Don't you know that I also need comfort from my compatriots in a foreign country?" "Zhang Yu?" I saw him in the mall a few days ago, why did he go to the United States in a few days?

"Is it really snowing in Beijing?" He seemed very interested. "Well, it's still downloading now." I yawned, and said, "Good night!" After I finished speaking, I realized that it was daytime in his place, and I couldn't help laughing at myself as an idiot. Zhang Yu didn't smile, but said to me seriously: "Good night!" "Then see you next year!" "goodbye!" On New Year's Day, the work unit had a day off, went to the electronic city to buy mobile phones, and didn't go home until night. When I was about to open the door, I saw a note posted on the door: I asked you to make a snowman, why are you not here?

There is also a drawing of an octopus with its teeth and claws in the lower right corner of the note. I couldn't help laughing out loud. I dialed Zhang Yu with my newly purchased mobile phone, his number was repeated many times, and I couldn't remember the second senior brother Zhencheng anymore. Zhang Yu's voice was lazy, "Who is it?" I suppressed my laughter and said in a rough voice, "I'm an octopus spirit!" "Just shake me, how about building a snowman? The snow will melt when you come back." "Who did you ask to put the note on our door? What a creative idea!" I asked with a smile.

"I posted it myself!" His voice was slow and magnetic. "Who are you kidding, you are still in the United States!" It was rare for him to be so smart. "I'm coming back soon..." "You said you came back?" "I'm back! Come and see if you don't believe me." Zhang Yu's tone didn't look like a joke, but it didn't look like it was real either. "I'm not going, maybe you're trying to play tricks on me!" "People without conscience, I came back to see you some time, but you said I lied to you!"

"It's even more unreliable to hear you say that. If you are a busy person, you can spare time to see me. You can't believe it even if you are killed!" "believe it or not!" "This is my new number, please contact me later!" I hung up the phone and looked at the note on the door, the flamboyant handwriting and a vivid octopus, it was really fun. The house I have been living in was assigned by my mother's work unit. Because it was going to be demolished, the relevant department ordered everyone to move out. I hesitated to move, not because I had nowhere to go, but because I couldn't bear it.

There are so many memories of me and my mother here. Every piece of furniture and accessories in the house was chosen by my mother and me, and there is my mother's shadow in every corner.Here are the footprints of her watching me grow up, and the pictures we have drawn together. This place is not just a room, but a home. The children from the aunt's house next door thought I was moving, so they came to see if I had any unwanted novels and comics. I invited her into the house to play, and she saw the sticky note I pasted on the wall calendar and said: "I lent this paper to that uncle. He waited at your door for a long time, and then asked me for a piece of paper to give to my uncle." You drew this octopus."

"Which uncle?" I asked. "A tall uncle with big eyes, he smiles like a toothpaste commercial. His teeth are so neat and white!" The little girl has been wearing braces because her teeth are not straight, seeing how neat other people's teeth are , Naturally impressive. Did Zhang Yu really come? During the Spring Festival, I went to stay with my aunt for one night, and I didn't return until the second day of junior high school. When I got home, I found that I didn't bring my mobile phone with me when I left. I was still wondering why my ears were so clean these days.

Turning on the phone, there are actually more than 20 missed calls, and Zhang Yu's name is the most among the messy numbers. I hurriedly called Zhang Yu back.His cell phone rang, but no one answered. After a few minutes, I called again, but no one answered. Is he angry with me? I resentfully put the phone back on the table and went to take a shower. When I came out of the shower, my cell phone was ringing and I guessed with my toes that it was Zhang Yu. The person on the other end of the phone was yelling at me angrily: "Tian Kele, if you don't answer my calls, I will have your skin peeled off next time I see you!"

"What did I do wrong that you have to skin me?" I really couldn't figure it out. "You still have the nerve to ask, don't you see how many calls I have made to you?!" "Didn't I call you back..." I whispered. "Won't you call more times? Didn't you expect me to fall asleep?" "How would I know you were asleep? I thought you had something important to attend to!" My voice was louder than his. "Okay, okay, what's the matter if you insist on arguing with me during the New Year's Eve?" Zhang Yu's voice softened.

"Isn't that why you recruited first?" I quibbled. "Where are you?" Zhang Yu asked me. "I just came back from my aunt's place. What about you? Didn't you go home to honor your parents during the Spring Festival?" "No, I have a bad cold here, and it will be troublesome to catch them all when I go back." "You have a bad cold?" The voice didn't sound like it. "Well, I went back to the old man's place the day before yesterday. I played some fireworks with Zhang Cheng, and I felt a headache when I came back..." Zhang Yu's voice gradually became less confident, and it seemed that he was really uncomfortable. At any rate, Zhang Yu also helped me a few times. He was ill, so he felt uneasy if he didn't go to see him. So, I asked: "Zhang Yu, where are you? Let me go and see you!" "At home! Come on, buy me a pizza by the way, I haven't eaten much for several meals." "Why don't you know how to find someone to take care of you?" "It's Chinese New Year, who doesn't go home for a reunion, how dare I ask someone to take care of me?" The more I said it, the more pitiful I was, and I said with sympathy: "You are sick, why are you eating pizza! You wait , I’ll cook some porridge for you and bring it over.” I went to the supermarket and bought some japonica rice and meat floss, and brought it to him when it was cooked.Zhang Yu precariously opened the door for me, and after I entered the door, he has been lying on the sofa, listless. His forehead was burning hot, no matter what, it must be thirty-nine degrees.When I had a fever, my mother kept giving me boiled water. I searched at his house, not to mention boiled water, and there was not even a thermos bottle. Looking at the empty mineral water bottles on the coffee table, he must have spent the past few days drinking these waters. "Have you taken your medicine?" I asked. He didn't speak, just shook his head.I gave him a small bowl of porridge, and after he drank it, I put him back on the bed and let him lie down and rest. "I called you all day yesterday, why didn't you answer?" "No cell phone!" I told him. "In the future, you can get two mobile phones, one to carry with you, and the other to be scattered around, so that I won't be able to find you all the time." For the sake of his discomfort, I didn't bother with him, I just responded lightly: "Okay!" Zhang Yu kept looking at me and smiling, and fell asleep while smiling. While he was asleep, I cooked some noodles for him.It was dusk outside the window, and the sound of festive firecrackers kept coming and going. I think of the Spring Festival when I was a child, and I went to Tiananmen Square with my mother to watch the fireworks display. I walked a long way just to see those bright fireworks, and I thought it was worth it. Fearing that the firecrackers would be too loud, we covered our ears and ran around Tiananmen Square, like a big rabbit leading a little rabbit. Thinking of the scene at that time, I giggled and giggled.Although the joy is gone, it has left beautiful memories forever.
