122 Tet holiday (2) 【family love line love line and daily…

He looked at Diep Tich smiling happily in front of his parents, feeling a bit strange, also a bit confused.

After a long silence, Tieu Lanh walked away.

.

The whole family happily wore new clothes to celebrate the New Year, and it was just time to watch a movie. Ye Xi chose a comedy family photo, it didn't have much depth or meaning, but the laugh points were enough, and the actors' acting skills were on point. After two hours, the three of them laughed until their stomachs hurt.

After leaving the cinema, they went straight to the restaurant that Diep Tich mentioned.

This restaurant must have been doing online marketing. Although it had only been open for a week, it had already become a popular online restaurant. From morning to night, people had to queue. But Ye Xi could break any trick she encountered. It had already been arranged well. Before she entered the cinema, she had already placed her number online. After watching the movie, although her number had already passed, she had been invited in less than 20 minutes under the "Qua Hao Duy Tam Ban" rule.

Passing through the main entrance of the restaurant, the noisy and bustling shopping mall was immediately blocked out, and the elegant and comfortable environment of the restaurant entered the eyes.

The entire restaurant was decorated in champagne, the colors were bright, but although the space was very large, there weren't many dining tables, and the aisles were very wide open.

Trieu Mat was a bit surprised by this: "So many people are waiting, why don't we put some tables down?"

The waiter gently said, "When there are many people, the environment is not good, the food quality and service quality will also decrease. Therefore, the staff density of our branches is not very high, we try our best to ensure that every customer has a good experience."

Although these words sounded like they were from the government's perspective, combined with the current scene, they were probably true.

Trieu Mat enjoyed and nodded: "Not bad."

The waiter paused for a moment: "Be careful."

The small passageway ahead had two levels of stairs leading forward, dividing the dining hall into two parts, high and low, the visual effect was even more interesting. Ye Xi walked up the stairs, followed the waiter to turn left, and accidentally made eye contact with a fake eater, and was suddenly stunned.

The other party was also stunned, conveniently put down the silver spoon of sweet dew, politely stood up, habitually adjusted his suit jacket: "Good evening."

Paused for a moment, then nodded to Diep Tich's parents and said: "Hello, uncle and aunt."

"Who..." Trieu Mat had never seen Tieu Lanh before, so he immediately did not react.

The waiter was very busy while they were eating. Seeing that, he hesitated for a moment before pointing to a bench not far ahead and softly saying to them, "Your seats are over there. Could you please come over here in a moment?"

Diep Tich quickly nodded: "Yes, I'll trouble you!"

The waiter left first. Diep Tich looked at Tieu Lanh again, somewhat surprised: "Why are you still in City C?"

Trieu Mat and Diep Thu Nham came back one after another, and without prior agreement, they both looked up at Tieu Lang.

Trieu Mat asked Diep Tich: "Classmate?"

"Uh..." Diep Tich choked, wanting to say "Superior" this precise reply, then heard Tieu Lanh say: "Friend."

"Ah ah ah." Ye Shu Yan nodded continuously, glanced at Xiao Leng again, and said to Ye Xi: "Then you guys talk, your mother and I will go look at the menu… What did you say you wanted to eat earlier?"

"Egg tart." Diep Tich said.

Ye Shuyan nodded, then grabbed Zhao Mo and left. After waiting until they reached the other side of the sofa, Ye Shuyan sat down without thinking, as if he was getting the menu, but in reality, his eyes were staring straight at that side.

Trieu Mat sat down opposite, raised his head and saw his gaze, surprised: "What are you looking at?"

"That brat is looking at my daughter with the wrong eyes." Ye Shuyan said, gritting his teeth, and then clearing his throat, "No wonder you wanted to play me the first time you saw me those three years ago… Looks like you know men."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Mo glared at him, quickly glanced at the two young men not far behind, then turned back and said, "Order your food, order the egg tart for Xiao Xi!"

.

Standing in the alley chatting was too distracting, so Ye Xi and Xiao Leng sat down first. Ye Xi was still curious as to why he hadn't returned to City B, Xiao Leng smiled: "Didn't go to City C, just took advantage of the vacation, just happened to play for a few days, will come back next year."

While talking, he gave her some red tea. She was surprised that he came to the restaurant and didn't order milk tea. The waiter immediately brought the food. Looking closely, it turned out that although he said he didn't order milk tea, he ordered all kinds of sweets.

... How can you be so fond of sweets!

Diep Tich cursed in his heart, lost in thought for a second, and blurted out: "Then you're not going home for the New Year?"

Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly closed her mouth, almost biting her tongue.

"I'm sorry..." She raised her head in embarrassment. Xiao Leng's eyes were only absent-minded for a second, then he regained his smile: "It's the same everywhere."

"Oh..." Diep Tich nodded, not daring to continue this topic, racking her brain trying to think of something to say, Tieu Lanh reached out his hand in front of her: "Nha."

Diep Tich was hesitant, Tieu Lanh of course: "Don't you want to eat egg tart?"

"... Thank you." She sadly accepted it, peeled off half of the paper, and put the tray of food on.

Leaning forward, Diep Thu Nham stared at the thief as if he was staring at them, and whispered to his wife to report the situation: "Xiao Tich ate his egg tart!"

"Are you sick!" Trieu Mat wordlessly glared at him, directly calling the waiter to order food. The waiter stood at the side of the table, blocking Diep Thu Nham's line of sight, so he had no choice but to resentfully withdraw his gaze.

"This house's egg tart is really delicious!" Ye Xi's egg tart found a new topic.

Tieu Lanh smiled faintly: "Yes, I am also heading towards the egg tart."

Diep Tich smiled: "So you spent all this time in city C? Where do you plan to go?"

"Haven't thought of it yet." Xiao Leng also started eating the egg tart. His slender fingers and clear bones, lightly lifted the egg tart paper in an inexplicably beautiful pose, "These past few days, I've only been walking around the vicinity, do you have any recommendations for sightseeing spots?"

Ye Xi thought and said: "Well… We have a lot of delicious food here, we can go to the night market to eat. We can also go to the river to sit on a cruise to watch the night view, there should be seafood for sale on the cruise, the prices are a bit expensive, but the taste is still okay."

"Okay, thank you." Tieu Lang nodded, pondered for a long time, and gathered his courage, "Do you have..."

"I actually don't go to many places in transit. It's been hard to get home recently. I want to accompany my parents, but I don't have time to go."

She obviously guessed what he was thinking.

Tieu Lanh raised his eyebrows: "Like that."

Diep Tich lowered her head, feeling a little apologetic in her heart. She actually knew that what she did was not quite appropriate, because she was a "local", even if it had been several years since she had contacted an old classmate who had come here to play, she should have taken the initiative to accompany a local, and not be so distant from someone thousands of miles away.

But, how to say it...

She didn't intentionally reject Tieu Lanh, or rather, it was intentional, but it wasn't because he was Tieu Lanh, her "pursuer" that she rejected him.

But it was rare for her to go home for a trip, normally being forced to suppress her indolence completely occupied her, she now just wanted to stay at home and waste time, just wanted to play dirty with her parents, go out and do something, she thought about it and felt tired.

Absolutely no thought.

Moreover, last year at this time, City C was really cold. This place was in the south, so the air temperature was actually a bit higher than in City B in the north, but because of the high humidity, the moisture would carry cold air that spread to the bones, making the body feel even colder than in the north.

What's more unfortunate is that City C still doesn't have a unified palace system.

If she stays at home, she can enjoy the warmth of her own home. If she goes out, even this kind of large shopping mall is still relatively warm, with the scenery and small restaurants, it is really a place to shiver all winter.

So every cell in Diep Tich is in the local resistance.

But because her heart was filled with feelings that it was not appropriate, after a brief mental struggle, she still said: "Tomorrow... is relatively free, I will treat you to dinner in the afternoon, then we will go to the night market?"

Tieu Lanh saw her reluctance and helplessly shook his head: "Forget it, tomorrow afternoon there is a video conference, I might want to add another class."

"Ah..." Ye Xi bit her lips lightly, when living together with him in the normal world, it was easy to feel embarrassed again. She looked at her parents not far away, and said to Xiao Leng, "Then let's make a date when we have time, I'll go eat with my parents first!"

"Okay." Tieu Lanh nodded.

Diep Tich couldn't finish half of the egg tart and it flew away.

Because Trieu Mat was crazily kicking Diep Thu Nham's leg under the table, Diep Thu Nham temporarily suppressed his gossiping and emotional feelings towards his daughter and ate his meal properly.

Xiao Leng ate alone much more efficiently than them chatting while eating, so he left early. When Ye Xi called the waiter to pay the bill, the waiter informed him: "Just now, a gentleman helped you settle the bill, but now that extra milk flower is added, you need to settle it again."

"Okay..." Diep Tich was speechless, took out the payment code to let the waiter scan it, feeling more and more that what he had just done was really inappropriate.

Woo woo woo woo isn't it cold! Isn't it lazy! How could she not be a little more patient and be a hospitable "local"?!

Now that the other party is a tourist, he still wants to invite her to a local for a meal.

No... Someday, please bring this meal back.

Diep Tich felt regretful in his heart, suspecting that he had dreamed about this at night and had to sit up in shock and curse himself: I really deserve to die!

Being controlled by indifference certainly won't lead to anything good!

Going out to the dining room, the family of three had been walking home from a daytime stroll. Today, because they weren't home, the chef wasn't there, and the housekeeper had already gone home from work.

So, Ye Shuyan finally couldn't hold it in any longer. As soon as he entered the living room, he asked Ye Xi: "That kid, is he chasing you?"

"He..." Ye Xi was killed without any time to react, feeling guilty and unable to immediately deny it, Ye Shuyan clapped his hands, pointed at Ye Xi and Zhao Mo and said: "Look! What did I say!"

"Really?" Zhao Mo's eyes lit up as he pulled Ye Xi to sit on the sofa, "The boy has grown up quite well! Very tall and handsome! He seems to be generous in his work! How old are you? What kind of work do you do?"

"Al, al co-worker..." Ye Xi's face started to heat up, and he stuttered, "Come with me. Age... Roughly... Er... Four or five years older than me?"

"Twenty-six seven years old? Pretty good, pretty good." Zhao Mo seemed satisfied with this age. Hearing Ye Xi say that "companionship" was also a news source, she had no objections to this job.

Ye Shuyan sat on Ye Xi's side and continued to ask questions: "How is a person? Can he be trusted? Can he do housework? What dad said at the store just now wasn't just empty talk!" "..." Ye Xi was silent for a second, "We're not together!!! What are you guys doing!!!"

"Hey, just asking, helping you guard the pass!" Zhao Mo's face turned smiling, "What kind of work do his parents do? Is the whole family coming to visit this time?"

"He..." Ye Xi sighed softly, telling his mother the truth, "His parents are policemen, and they are no longer here. A few days ago, we just happened to go to City C together for work, and then we started taking a long vacation, so I went home. He… He said he just didn't go to City C, so he simply stayed to play, and will return after the New Year."

"Ah..." Zhao Mo instantly felt a bit heartbroken, and glanced at Ye Shuyan. Ye Shuyan asked in the end: "He's coming back after the New Year? Where are his grandparents, maternal grandparents, brothers and sisters?"

"Grandpa and grandma seem to have both passed away… I haven't heard of any brothers or sisters." Ye Xi lowered his head, his voice sad, "So wherever he said to celebrate the New Year is pretty much the same."

"Numb ——" Diep Thu Nham gritted his teeth and gasped, obviously being in Tieu Lanh's miserable situation.

In today's society, a young person in his twenties, without parents, grandparents, brothers or sisters, alone in the dark, celebrating the New Year, anyone who hears about it will feel miserable.

Furthermore, the words "Parents are police" in the eyes of the elders automatically brought a sense of dread. Without Ye Xi needing to say more, Zhao Mo and Ye Shuyan had already finished the whole story in their minds.

—— Xiao Leng and Ye Xi are friends of the same age, his parents and them should also be friends of the same age. Although it can't be said that they are young, but it's not far from the time when they should leave.

Cooperating with the police this identity, both people very naturally felt that they were either too tired normally leading to overwork and injury, or something more tragic had happened.

No matter what the situation, he is a hero.

In their simple values, heroic children are worth the whole society's return.

Zhao Mo sighed bitterly, his words were profound: "He is in this situation, and we know he is in City C. Regardless of whether you two can be together in the future or not, we must take good care of him right now."

The mother said that she was already regretting it, but Ye Xi was even more self-reproachful——that's right! Xiao Leng had no relatives at all, and had come to City C alone. How could she refuse to accompany him because of laziness and fear of coldness!

Diep Tich started to think about himself again, sitting up late at night and muttering to himself: I really deserve to die!

Then he heard his mother say again: "If not, tomorrow you can ask him to come home for a meal, or go out to eat. He has been playing in City C these past few days, if he has any requests, he can always find us."

Just as Ye Xi was about to obediently nod and say yes, Ye Shuyan waved his hand: "Forget it, young people come out to travel, they might not be in the mood to go to someone else's house to eat, especially since he is still chasing Xiao Xi, and we are elders..." He paused, "However, if he is spending the New Year in City C, can't he go there himself during New Year's Eve? When the time comes, call him over to the house, let's have a drink and eat together."

"This is not appropriate?!" Diep Tich's back was straight.

Zhao Mo said: "Convenient. This year, your eldest uncle and second uncle are taking your grandparents out for a trip. Your father and I didn't go because we haven't retired and want to work. So this year, our little family will be living alone, so it's okay."

"If you feel he is chasing you, calling him home is inconvenient, let him drink with your father, the two of us watch the Spring Festival."

"It's just..." Diep Tich still wanted to refuse. Standing from her perspective, calling the person she knew was her pursuer to her house to celebrate the New Year was really too awkward.

But the mother sighed: "Xiao Xi ah, don't blame the mother for being nosy, you young people working hard outside are not easy, as parents no one can help but worry. This kind of person when it comes to love... Mother is not saying that she wants him to feel like he owes us favors, it's just that sometimes good people are rewarded, now the father and mother give a little goodwill to strangers, in the future if you encounter any trouble in City B, there might be a stranger who will give you a little goodwill."

Ye Xi didn't think of this angle, and blankly looked towards her mother. Her mother's eyes contained an expression of worry that she had never shown before: "So, let him come here. You guys are at this age, and in your father and mother's eyes, you are all juniors. His appearance is really heartbreaking."

Diep Tich bowed his head and said "Oh" without any objection.

Abandoning her parents' somewhat old-fashioned way of dealing with people and "superstition" made her unable to adapt to life outside, she also felt that what they said was right.

Lunar New Year is the most important festival, on this festival if you want to be alone, the feeling of loneliness will be exceptionally strong, making people feel like the whole world is abandoned.

So, consider it a good deed.

At night, Diep Tich lay on the bed, clicked open the chat box with Tieu Lanh, and started seriously searching for words.

... "Call him to come celebrate the New Year" is not a complicated matter in itself, the problem is how to say these words to make him come, but not let him have other illusions.

Hotel, Tieu Lanh finished bathing and picked up his cell phone. After hesitating for a long time, he still asked Diep Tich if they could have dinner together tomorrow night.

Click to open the dialogue window, and look at the expression above "The other party is entering...".

He was slightly absent-minded, not knowing what she wanted to say, staring at the screen waiting for her news.

But after waiting for fifteen minutes, the above still showed the expression "The other party is entering".

Tieu Lanh closed his eyes, lay down on the bed and continued to wait. After waiting for about fifteen minutes, he still had the same expression of six words.

He thought about it, not understanding how to place her portrait, confirmed that he did not change her nickname to "The other party is entering...", then responded to the previous dialog box, typed: "What are you entering?"

???

In the blink of an eye, Diep Tich saw the news and his whole body's blood froze.

But Tieu Lang somehow said unluckily: "You've already given it half an hour."

"In my chat window writing notes?"

Diep Tich: "..."

Grass, jio toes dig out 700 square meter large flat floor!

"Ha —— ha ——" she held her cell phone and laughed bitterly twice, self-indulgently deleting all the text she had typed, and directly asked: "Come to my house for New Year's Eve."

Tieu Lanh was stunned, extremely surprised: "Are you sure?"

Diep Tich: "My parents said so."

"They said if we knew you were in City C, we wouldn't let you celebrate the New Year alone. I think that makes sense."

"I'll send you the address, come here when the time comes, I'll go to the residential area door to pick you up."

Having said that, she gave him a heart-warming drumbeat and gave him the location of the area.

Tieu Lanh looked at her explanation and narrowed his eyes.

The origin is like this.

He had encountered similar situations many times. Apart from Minister Ding and Professor Tu, many comrades had also sent him similar invitations.

But he doesn't like this kind of thing, he doesn't like other people's pity. This kind of pity will make the feeling of loneliness even stronger, making him feel that he is very redundant.

But...

Tieu Lanh smiled and replied: "Okay, thank you."

"You really agreed..." Diep Tich curled up in the blanket, staring at his phone and muttering.

She knew that her parents were right, but after saying those words just now, she still had a bit of selfish luck left, feeling that it would be good if Tieu Lanh could refuse.

Count count... He came too well!

Celebrating the New Year is a lively event for all. Last year, they all went together as a family. This year, the eldest uncle and second uncle retired and went out traveling with the elderly and children. They even brought their grandparents along, leaving only the three of them to celebrate the New Year together. There was actually a lack of people.

Diep Tich did not think about this messy matter, let himself accept the fact that Tieu Lanh wanted to come to celebrate the New Year, turned around, wrapped himself in the blanket, and slept peacefully.

.

2024 year 2 month 9 day, lunar calendar 12 month 30, New Year's Eve.

Diep Tich slept lazily, got up slowly to wash his face and eat, then very consciously wanted to go paste spring couplets and lucky words.

But her father stopped her: "You let go, in a moment you will be a little sticky."

"Ah?!" Diep Tich widened his eyes, "He is a guest! Or me..."

"Listen." Ye Shuyan frowned and shook his head, "If it was a normal guest, he definitely wouldn't be able to ask someone to do the work. But his family situation..." He sighed, "You really treated him like a guest and treated him politely, he definitely felt that we called him here because we saw him miserable. This kind of intention is not bad, but it makes people feel unequal, so you give him some space."

Diep Thu Nham finished speaking and turned to instruct Trieu Mat: "Save the dumpling skin first, don't roll it."

Zhao Mo was busy in the kitchen and twisted her face: "Let's just say, how many young people nowadays can roll dumpling skin?"

"I won't say it again." Diep Thu Nham waved his hand, "Listen to me. If he wants to come, I will make him come. If he doesn't, I will tell him to go out and buy food together."

"Go ahead." Trieu Mat smacked his lips and agreed.

About half an hour later, while accompanying her father to clean up, Diep Tich received news from Tieu Lanh, saying that he had arrived at the entrance of the residential area.

Diep Tich therefore put on a down jacket and went out to greet people. When he reached the entrance of the residential area, he saw... Tieu Lanh was dressed exceptionally formally today.

He usually dresses very formally most of the time, always wears a suit and leather shoes when going to work, and also uses a very stylish perfume. In the 17th century, most men casually wear a shirt, a pair of slacks and a casual style that looks very smart.

But today, she saw that he was wearing a seemingly brand new suit, a new tie, and seemed to have been specially groomed, his movements revealing a very cultivated and gentle temperament.

Even though Diep Tich was still a little conflicted about him coming to celebrate the New Year together even before he left the door, at this moment he couldn't help but mumble to himself: What a beautiful scene!

Then, she noticed a pile of things at Tieu Lanh's feet.

Sausages, dried meat, various nutritional supplements, fruit baskets, snack packages, and what looked like quite large cakes. There were so many things that one person obviously couldn't take them all. At first glance, they were placed in the trunk of the taxi. After getting out of the car, they had to put a lot of effort into moving them out one by one.

Diep Tich's mouth corners twitched, his expression complicated as he said the classic line: "Just come, what else do you bring!"

After speaking, she immediately stepped forward to carry the things together. Xiao Leng blocked her hand, looked left and right, picked up the cake and put it in her arms: "Protect my cake well."

After speaking, he picked up the dried sausage and meat with one hand, and the basket and gift bag with the other. He really couldn't take the remaining three boxes of nutritional products, so he walked towards the security guard: "Hello, would it be convenient for you to help me take a look? I'll get them in a moment.":,,.
