"Auntie will set off these big fireworks for you!" Tao You was infected by his smile. He stood up and stretched his waist. He took a big firework from the ground. As soon as he walked to the open space and was about to light it, his cell phone in his trouser pocket began to vibrate violently.
"Song Yimian?" Tao You murmured in surprise when he saw the caller, "Why did you suddenly make a video call?"
She didn't answer the phone in a hurry, but turned around and looked around, found a bright corner, quickly hung her wind-tossed hair behind her ears, and asked her nephew worriedly, "Tao Xubai, Can I look at it now?"
Tao Xubai was still waiting for Tao You to set off the fireworks for him. His bright eyes reflected the gorgeous fireworks in the sky. He stared closely at the fireworks in Tao You's arms and nodded scribbledly, "Auntie, you are the most beautiful."
——The little mouth is so sweet.
"Wait for a moment, I'll take a call."
Then he felt relieved, pulled down the scarf, and then raised his hand to press the call button.
"Song Yimian..." She was just waving to say hello when she was interrupted by a voice from over there.
Song Xiaoan held a skewer in one hand, and there was still a little grease stain on the corner of his grinning mouth. He greeted Tao You enthusiastically, "Sister Xiaoyou, it's me! I didn't have time to tell you at noon, Happy New Year's Eve!"
The picture looks very familiar...
We just met at noon.
"Xiao An." Tao You continued to wave, "Happy New Year's Eve!"
The camera flickered and the screen rotated, aiming at the open space not far away. Song Xiaoan increased his voice and said, "Sister Xiaoyou, we are in town, there will be a fireworks display soon!"
"It's so lively." Tao You originally thought that his village was already lively enough, but when he saw Song Xiaoan's place, which could be regarded as a sea of people, he suddenly felt that his place was really empty and quiet.
A small witch meets a big witch!
Song Xiaoan didn't hear what Tao You was saying, so he unconsciously put the phone to his ear and asked loudly, "Ah? Sister Xiaoyou, what did you say? I didn't hear you!"
"It's so lively over there!"
"Xiao An, why didn't you use your own mobile phone to call me?" Tao You couldn't help but asked cautiously.
Song Xiaoan seemed to have guessed Tao Youhui's question. He smiled mysteriously and leaned to the side a little. It looked like he was avoiding something, which was actually the case.
She turned her eyes to the person next to her, leaned close to the phone and lowered her voice, "Sister Xiaoyou, let me tell you, you must not tell others. Actually..."
Tao You waited carefully for the next step, and his heartbeat sped up uncontrollably.
"It's Song Yimian who wants to call you. Hehehehehe~" Song Xiaoan finished speaking with a big breath, covered his mouth and let out a burst of gossip-filled laughter.
But before she could finish laughing, the camera on her phone shook violently and the picture became blurry.
"Song Xiao'an, what are you talking about!" Song Yimian's voice appeared outside the camera, sounding a little angry.
Song Xiaoan successfully grabbed the phone again, and held it tightly to his chest. He did not forget to put his mouth in front of the phone to talk to Tao You, "Sister Xiaoyou, you must not listen to him! He just wants to call you. But I'm shy and embarrassed, so I asked me to give you a beating!" She finished the sentence quickly.
Tao You wasn't sure how much of Song Xiaoan's words were true, but Song Xiaoan usually mixed the truth with falsehoods when chatting. She just smiled now and didn't take it too seriously.
If Song Xiaoan knew that she was like this in Tao You's mind, she would never think that the story of "The Wolf Crying" is funny.
"Ahem, that's not the case, there isn't much truth in her mouth..." Song Yimian covered her mouth and coughed.
Song Xiaoan took a bite of the skewers unconvinced, put his hands on his hips, raised his head and said, "But on this matter, I always tell the truth! I dare to swear to God! Do you dare?!"
Song Yimian glanced at her lightly and gave her a silent warning.
Song Xiaoan's voice never appeared on the phone again.
Tao You stared at Song Yimian for a few seconds, then rubbed his eyes and continued staring for a while.
——Is she hallucinating?
Why, she seemed to see Song Yimian wearing blush on his face.
Song Yimian felt embarrassed by her stare. He slowly turned his head in one direction, pretended to pick up a skewer of roast mutton, took a bite, and put it on Song Xiaoan's plate with a frown. ..
The taste was too strong and tangy, and he couldn't eat it.
I don't know if it's the lighting on his side or the problem with her eyes. Not only is Song Yimian's face blushed now... her ears are also red, and it's even thicker than her face. .
"You're giving me the food you've eaten?! It's all your saliva! It's so disgusting! Do you think I'm a trash can?!" Song Xiaoan squeezed into the camera from the corner unconvinced, stretched out a finger, and poked hard Song Yimian turned one cheek and said mercilessly, "Why are you blushing? You still say you are not shy. I must have caught you."
"Song Yimian, are you very cold? Your ears are red from the cold..." At the same time, Tao You opened his mouth to find a reason for Song Yimian.
But she didn't expect that Song Xiaoan's mouth would be one step faster than hers.
Song Yimian was stunned for two seconds as if he had been struck by lightning. After reacting, he waved away Song Xiaoan's hand and wiped the oily areas on his face with a tissue. His already red face became even redder. .
He glared at her coldly, put on his brother's air, and followed Tao You's words, "Let's go eat! I'm freezing! Who's wearing my scarf?"
"Dogs are shy, but I'm not shy!" He opened a bottle of drink and wiped it with a tissue several times the moment it was brought to his mouth.
"Tch, what nonsense are you talking about here! I can't afford to have fun, it's boring." Song Xiaoan snorted disdainfully and turned back to his seat, "I'll wait for the day you slap me in the face!"
Perhaps because Song Xiao'an talked too much, Song Yimian couldn't finish his conversation with Tao You. He stood up with his cell phone and walked a few steps around the corner.
The light became dim, and half of his face was immersed in darkness, as if he was wearing two-thirds of a mask. There is a mysterious beauty.
Tao Xubai squatted aside and picked up a branch from somewhere in his hand. He scratched it on the ground for a while. During this period, he looked up at his aunt who was smiling brightly. He guessed that she was talking to her boyfriend on the phone, his teacher. This was the look on my face when my boyfriend called me.
Seeing that Tao You had no intention of ending the call, he stood up and casually glanced aside at the branch, wiping his fleshy little hands on his pants twice.
I picked out a box of fireworks from the pile of fireworks nearby, thought about it, and finally put it down.
He threw the burned fairy wand into the trash can, turned around and ran back to get a box of bees and flash thunder. He ran to Tao You and handed the lighter pantingly, "Auntie, help me light a fire."
His aunt didn't have time, so he played by himself and entertained himself. He learned how to do it when he was three years old.
Tao You saw the fireworks in Tao Xubai's hand, took his hand and walked to the open space, "You can't play with this by yourself."
"Are you setting off fireworks? So early?" Song Yimian heard the sound of fireworks on the other end of the phone that was different from the noisy people on his side, and asked curiously.
Tao You asked Tao Xubai to help hold the mobile phone, and bent down to insert a lightning bolt into the crack of the stone. There are many things lacking in the countryside, and the most indispensable thing is all kinds of strange-shaped stones.
"That's right, brother, I'm here with my aunt to set off fireworks! How cool!" Tao Xubai raised his phone with his two small hands, moved further away, and flipped the camera skillfully, while his eyes were staring at the fireworks in front of him. After answering, he turned back to face Tao You.
"Hello." Song Yimian smiled politely and greeted him politely.
Tao You lit a few fireworks and stood up, took the phone, "Okay."
Tao Xubai watched the fireworks soar into the sky with a bang and screamed with excitement.
"Auntie, I want more!"
"You play with this first." Tao You lit two fairy sticks and handed them to him, and warned carefully, "Keep them far away, don't hurt yourself!"
"Just play here!" Seeing that Tao Xubai was about to run away again, she was able to skillfully grab his collar and pull him back, "Otherwise we'll go back now!"
Tao Xubai lowered the corners of his mouth with some grievance, and blinked at Tao You with his round eyes.
, long eyelashes flickering.
He wanted to ask his friends for help, but found that they were already preparing to go home for dinner.
"There's no point in pretending to be pitiful on my side." Tao You mercilessly rejected his nephew's little trick, "How old are you? You don't know how old you are?"
"If you want to play by yourself, wait until you go to elementary school."
Tao Xubai wanted to make a final struggle, but Tao You glared back. After his nephew stood aside and waved the fairy wand, Tao You looked back at his phone.
"Ahem," Tao You saw the smile in Song Yimian's eyes and felt that he had lost his temper just now. He straightened his hair and explained, "The kid is too naughty. He can't be cruel if he doesn't."
Song Yimian raised his eyebrows, "I understand, Song Xiaoan was more naughty than him when he was a child."
「······」
「······」
For a moment, the two looked at each other in silence.
Time passes slowly.
Tao Xubai changed the fairy sticks in his hand to two and two.
In the end, it was Tao You who took the lead to break the atmosphere that was as solid as the cold air, "You called me...what's the matter?"
"Can't I call you if you have nothing to do?" Song Yimian adjusted his stance and asked.
"······That was not what I meant.".
She originally wanted to say - as long as it's your call, no matter if it's okay or not, I'll be happy to answer it.
It's best to make more phone calls and meet up 24 hours a day!
But she was thin-skinned and too embarrassed to say it.
"So, it's not Xiao An who wants to call me..." Tao You changed the subject again.
She just wanted to find a topic so that the two of them would not be silent facing each other. She actually didn't care that much about who was calling her.
Song Yimian turned his head and remained silent for two seconds, his lips pursed tightly as if he was thinking about something important.
"It's okay..." I just asked casually. Tao You wanted to make amends, but didn't want to make the atmosphere more awkward.
"Yes..." Song Yimian turned around and spoke very firmly at almost the same time.
"Hey, hello... Dear fellow villagers and friends, the fireworks display has a three-second countdown!"
The second half of Song Yimian's words was covered up by the sudden blaring of the horn above his head, leaving two thin lips moving.
Only then did he realize that the loudspeaker above his head, which was older and covered with spider webs, could still produce sound, and he covered his ears with a painful expression.
Tao You also frowned slightly at the noise, and vaguely heard a syllable, "Say it again?!" She even turned up the volume to avoid Song Yimian not being able to hear.
In this way, it seemed that her attitude was a bit bad, as if she was questioning.
