Because of her bad relationship with Wang Jianguo, Liang Aiping was unable to go to Wang's family for a New Year reunion. Although Wang Ping's relationship with her has eased, he still has to accompany Wang Jianguo and his wife on the big day of the New Year. After all, Liang Aiping and Wang Jianguo had been divorced for many years, and Wang Jianguo had started another family.
Zhang Yongsheng also called Liang Aiping before and asked if she wanted to celebrate the New Year together. Liang Aiping politely rejected Zhang Yongsheng's kindness. The main reason was that she felt more and more uncomfortable when she saw the Zhang family enjoying themselves. Her husband and son are not of the same mind as her, which is the most painful thing for her.
Zhang Yongsheng knocked on the door for a while, but there was no movement inside. He thought Liang Aiping had gone to sleep, so he frowned and prepared to turn around and leave. While he was hesitating, the door in front of him opened, and Liang Aiping stood at the door wearing thick pajamas, her face flushed.
Smelling the pungent smell of alcohol on Liang Aiping's body, Zhang Yongsheng smiled bitterly and said: "Aunt Liang, it seems you drank a lot. We are going to go downstairs to set off cannons. Do you want to play with us?"
Before Liang Aiping could answer, Zhang Jianxiong said enthusiastically: "Xiao Liang, let's go down and play together. It's not good for you to be bored alone. We're celebrating the New Year, let's have some fun together and relax."
Liang Aiping was a little embarrassed and reluctantly refused: "Thank you, it's better not to do it. Your family is happy, what's going on if I come in?"
Han Aihua persuaded with a smile: "Aiping, you are just thinking too much. It's just the New Year, don't think too much. How many years have passed since you and Factory Director Wang are still unable to get over it? You should put it down from your heart and be happy. To live with the heart, one cannot always live in the shadow of the past.”
In fact, Liang Aiping was very envious of the Zhang family and wanted to go downstairs to set off fireworks together to have fun. But thinking of her embarrassing identity, she hesitated again. Especially when I saw the loving couple Zhang Yongsheng and Bai Zhixuan, I felt uncomfortable and showed hesitation on their faces.
Han Aihua thought that she was worried about the gossip in the family home and didn't like to deal with other people, so she said: "Actually, you don't need to take those words to heart, they are just talking a little bit, they don't have any bad intentions. Let's go downstairs to set off fireworks, and each family will set off fireworks. Everyone, just ignore them."
At Han Aihua's invitation, Liang Aiping finally agreed to go downstairs and set off fireworks together. She changed into a black fur coat, high heels, and simple makeup, looking extremely luxurious. She and Bai Zhixuan stood together, one wearing black and one white fur, quite eye-catching.
The group of people went downstairs, and it was already very lively downstairs. There were a lot of people from each neighbor's house, and they started their own performances with a lot of firecrackers and fireworks. Children were running among the crowd, laughing and joking very lively. From time to time, the light of fireworks flashed overhead, making people smile with joy.
The family courtyard of the freight station is not small. It used to be the parking lot of the company and can park hundreds of large trucks. There are not so many trucks now, and there is a large area in the center of the venue, which is enough for family members to move around. The gate of the family courtyard was particularly lively, with many people setting up bamboo poles and setting off firecrackers.
Nowadays, all kinds of electro-optical artillery are popular. One can have 5,000 blasts, 10,000 blasts or 30,000 blasts. Neighbors were very competitive in this regard, and some even used a 100,000-ring provocation. All kinds of crackling sounds sounded at the gate, which made people feel deafened.
Bai Zhixuan was so excited when she saw the lively scene. This was the first time she saw such a scene. The teachers in No. 1 Middle School are all educated people and would not dare to set off firecrackers so wildly. In No. 1 Middle School, anything that can fire 10,000 blasts would be unparalleled, and there wouldn’t be so many people. Many people wouldn’t even dare to fire off the cannons.
She dragged Zhang Yongsheng around to watch the excitement in the crowd, and from time to time she took out her camera to take a picture. Her happy eyes narrowed into crescent moons, making her even more charming and beautiful. Zhang Yongsheng is a very familiar person. When he sees an acquaintance, he introduces him enthusiastically, showing off in various ways in front of his face, his face full of pride.
The two walked around among the crowd setting off firecrackers and then walked back, planning to meet at Zhang Jianxiong's parking lot. The old drivers at the freight station have a custom that the first cannon must be placed next to the truck. The original intention is to ward off evil spirits. They believe that only in this way can the truck travel smoothly next year and reduce all kinds of disasters.
Zhang Jianxiong's large truck is parked next to the courtyard wall. Outside is the cargo yard of the original freight station, which is now an empty dam. Zhang Jianxiong stood in the truck compartment, his figure stretching out a large section of the courtyard wall. He picked up the firecrackers with a bamboo pole and stretched them outside the courtyard wall to set off.
To Zhang Yongsheng's surprise, Chen Wei also came with his daughter. Chen Wei held a small cardboard box in his arms, which contained some firecrackers and fireworks. Although the Chen family lives in poverty, they still have what they should have during the New Year. Chen Li is a celebrity in the family home, and many young people took the initiative to greet her along the way.
Chen Li dressed up beautifully today. She put on a new down jacket, her hair was straightened, and she rarely wore contact lenses. She looked extremely pure. Although she has a cold temperament, she gives off a cool look when she doesn't wear glasses, which is quite popular with the boys in the compound.
Zhang Jianxiong and Han Aihua greeted Chen Wei and his daughter warmly, and praised Chen Li fiercely. As a top student and role model in the compound, Chen Li was used to this kind of treatment. The expression on her face was still cold, but her face was slightly red, and it could be seen that her mood was slightly touched.
Seeing Chen Li coming over, Bai Zhixuan was a little annoyed and muttered: "Why is she here? My family is setting off firecrackers, does it have anything to do with her? Everyone sets off their own firecrackers, what's the point of mixing them up?"
Zhang Yongsheng heard the strong sour smell and smiled bitterly: "We are all in the same yard, so it's okay to set off firecrackers together, so why do you bother? Don't you have confidence in yourself?"
Bai Zhixuan pursed her lips and said, "I have confidence in myself, but not in you. Some people told me to watch you more closely, saying that you are a bit naive and can easily be led astray."
Zhang Yongsheng raised his eyebrows and said in dissatisfaction: "Who said this? It's obviously nonsense, and it's just to sow discord between us. Is he jealous because he looks good at us?"
Bai Zhixuan said calmly: "As Li Yuanyuan said, no matter who she wants to be jealous of, she will not be jealous of you. Anyway, I can't lose to Chen Li, otherwise I will lose face in No. 1 Middle School."
Zhang Yongsheng was so happy that he said speechlessly: "How could the squad leader be like this, cheating on me when he gets the chance? I haven't offended her before? No wonder Confucius said that only villains and women are difficult to raise!"
Bai Zhixuan smiled and said, "You deserve your nonsense. What does the couple's affairs have to do with you? Why are you giving Zhao Yunfei such blind ideas?"
Zhang Yongsheng said in confusion: "I don't have any ideas?"
Bai Zhixuan shook her head and said: "Li Yuanyuan said that you instigated the relationship between the two of them and that you instigated Zhao Yunfei not to listen to her and to make his own decisions in everything. Is this true?"
