Chapter Forty-Two: She Celebrates the New Year Alone
It’s the Spring Festival again, and on New Year’s Eve, every household posts Xinlian, and the sound of firecrackers is heard from the streets and alleys from time to time. People are all wearing new clothes, smiling and beaming.
This is a traditional festival in our country, and it is also the most festive festival. On this day, everyone will go home to reunite with their relatives, have a reunion dinner together, watch the year together, and welcome the arrival of the New Year together.
He Xiyan walked along the street along the river. This is the largest food street in Shenzhen. You can eat all kinds of food here, whether it is the eight major cuisines of my country or cuisines from various countries.
At Shifen in the evening, it is very popular here. Many families have reserved seats here to have a reunion dinner. The most popular one is the hot pot restaurant, and almost every one is full of seats.
Today there will be a firework show by the river. There will be fireworks for an hour and a half. So a lot of people have gathered on the riverside, but everyone came together as a family.
It's just that she's alone.
Shenzhen City is different from Night City. This is the south. Even in winter, the temperature here is as high as 10 degrees, so people like to go out for activities. Unlike in Night City, it is estimated that there is heavy snow at the moment, and the temperature is below zero.
He Xiyan took the camera to take pictures of the scenery here, and also took pictures of smiling faces.
She saw that many people came from a family of three, five, and seven. They love each other and look very happy.
Only her.
A little girl suddenly stood in front of her. The little girl was only about three or four years old, wearing a pink padded jacket and two braids.
"Auntie, can you take a photo for us?" The little girl raised her pink and jade-carved face, which was very red and cute, and there were several adults standing not far from her. The child's parents, grandparents, and grandparents are all here.
He Xiyan seemed to be stimulated, her stomach was sour because of envy.
"Okay!" She smiled at the little girl, and then walked to the family. They handed her a fruit phone and asked her to take a family photo for them.
And she likes designing, and her photography skills are also very good. The mother of the child who took several pictures in a row is very satisfied.
"Thank you!" The family thanked her politely, but she just nodded and smiled at the corner of her mouth, but the bitterness in the smile couldn't be removed.
Baby, are you a boy or a girl?
She stroked her lower abdomen, with only that expectation in her heart.
The fireworks show started on time at eight o'clock in the evening, and the roar of fireworks began to come from the other side of the river.
Fireworks shot straight into the sky. Slowly unfolding in the air, accompanied by people's exclamations, formed countless red, yellow and green flowers, which are dazzling and beautiful. This is a firework show with the theme of welcoming spring with a hundred flowers, and all kinds of fire trees and silver flowers bloom in the night sky, which are strange and colorful.
After the fireworks show, there were river lanterns floating down the calm river. Every small river lantern contained a family’s good hopes and expectations. She also bought one and put it on the lantern. I wrote two words of blessing.
She just sat on the stone steps by the river, watching the river lights slowly flow by, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing and sometimes in a daze.
As the night deepened, the crowd around slowly dispersed, and finally only her lonely figure was left under the street lamp.
"Yanyan..."
And in another city far away, a man sat up suddenly, his face was terribly white, and cold sweat broke out from time to time on his forehead.
