There were a lot of people in the courtyard of the community, as if the children of the whole community had run out. The bear children happily lit the cannon to play, walking on the road will be cold will be thrown by a child to blow up the cannon, although it will not be injured, but the loud bang can still frighten passers-by heart arrest.

However, these cannons were no threat to Liu Jiangqing at all, even if they were blown up under their feet, they did not dodge, and continued to walk on their own. With his hands in the pockets of his down jacket and his scarf, he strolled through the smoke-filled tree-lined walkways to the central square.

There were more people in the square setting off cannons, and most of them were adults. Before twelve o'clock, a thick layer of "red carpet" of cannondust had been laid on the ground, symbolizing the prosperity of the coming year.

On the stone table on one side, several brand new fireworks canisters are neatly stacked, which seem to be large fireworks cannons prepared to welcome the New Year.

Liu Jiangqing found an unmanned wooden chair and sat down, looked at all kinds of small flowers played by the children in the square, and silently shared the fleeting beautiful fireworks with them. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, which carried a special aroma and memories of a long time ago. It occurred to him that the last time he had smelled this seemed to be seven years ago.

Since living independently, Liu Jiangqing has been avoiding it consciously or unconsciously every New Year, and only spends it as an ordinary day. Most of the time he stayed at home and played games, never going out at all, and didn't go out until all the shops outside were officially open. Step out of the room on Chinese New Year's Eve to feel the atmosphere of the New Year, the first time in many years.

"Brother, here you go!"

Just as Liu Jiangqing was lost in the glittering fireworks in front of her, a girl wearing a small pink cotton skirt with a double ponytail held two fireworks sticks and handed them over. Her pink face was a little red from the cold, and her big round eyes were full of shyness and uneasiness, but she still held a fireworks stick, hoping that he would take it.

Liu Jiangqing was a little at a loss for a while, just looked at the little girl and didn't make any response.

"Play for you~"

The little girl shook the fireworks stick in her hand, but her eyes were even more uneasy, and the corners of her mouth drooped slightly, as if she was about to cry.

"Oh, thank you."

Liu Jiangqing hurriedly took the fireworks stick, but she was worried. I never smoked, so I didn't have a lighter. But if you just don't take it, it seems that you are a little sorry for the kindness of the little girl.

"My dad has a lighter, I'll get it for you!"

The cute little girl seemed to understand his difficulty, and ran to a man in the distance, and then happily ran over with her double ponytail, and obediently handed over a slender lighter, "Here it is!" ”

"Thanks, what's your name?" Liu Jiangqing took the lighter and asked the girl in her most gentle voice.

"My name is Qianqian, next to a person, a green Qian!" The little girl replied earnestly.

"Qianqian......" Liu Jiangqing smiled indifferently, raised the fireworks stick in his hand and said, "Let's play together, okay?" ”

"Hmm!" The little girl laughed sweetly, and as if she was playing a trick, she took out two more fireworks sticks from her pocket, stretched out her short arm and handed them over, "Brother, help me order!" ”

Click~

......Shh

The blue flame of the lighter had just lit the tip of the fireworks stick, and the bright fireworks burst out, and then scattered dense sparks in all directions, one after the other forming a beautiful chrysanthemum-shape.

The silvery white light of the fireworks reveals a rainbow of colorful colors, and it seems that all colors are born from this white light, and the white light is a collection of seven colors, which are also white and colorful, and changeable. But before the eyes could discern the color of the fireworks, they had already disappeared into the darkness and were replaced by new fireworks.

Watching the fireworks bloom into beautiful flowers, the little girl giggled happily and exclaimed from time to time: "Wow, it's so beautiful, if only I could stay." ”

"I can stay." Liu Jiangqing sat on the chair, lit the new fireworks stick in his hand, and said seriously to the little girl, "These fireworks have been remembered in your heart, and the next time you want to see the fireworks, you can remember what it looks like." ”

"Will my brother remember today's fireworks?" The little girl asked curiously.

"Yes." Liu Jiangqing nodded.

"Yay! I will also remember today's fireworks, and brother, you are my big friend! The little girl said happily waving a firework stick.

"Heh, thank you." Liu Jiangqing replied gently, but unexpectedly found that she had talked so much with a child who looked like six or seven years old, and had become her big friend, and she felt incredible.

The clusters of fireworks gradually became smaller, and finally turned into wisps of green smoke, emitting a faint smell of gunpowder. When Liu Jiangqing was about to light another one, the man not far away just now took two steps towards them and shouted, "Qianqian, go home." ”

"Hey!" The little girl responded immediately, then hurriedly rummaged through her pockets and handed the remaining three fireworks sticks to Liu Jiangqing, "These are for you, I'm leaving!" ”

"Huh?"

Liu Jiangqing was stunned, and there were three more fireworks sticks in his hand. He grabbed the fireworks sticks and lighters, and watched the little girl bounce back to the man, and a trace of loneliness passed through his heart as she walked towards the buildings in the western district.

The lights in the community were not as many as they had just now, and the children in the square left one by one, and it was much quieter. The fireworks that had been stacked on the stone table were placed on the ground one by one, and this was the biggest protagonist of the night, and several men were waiting for the arrival of zero o'clock.

Liu Jiangqing sat on the chair in a daze, pinching the fireworks sticks, as if she was waiting for something. Suddenly, the mobile phone in his pocket began to vibrate incessantly, and he took it out to see that it was Lu Yunqian.

"Hey."

"Happy New Year, Hostess!" Lu Yunqian said loudly, and she could hear the crackling firecrackers on her side through her mobile phone.

"Thanks, are you outside?"

"Well, my family doesn't fire guns this year, but I want to record the sound of the New Year and go back to my brother to listen to it, so I came out to watch everyone set off the guns."

“…… That's right. ”

"Hey, are you out there, host?"

"Well, I was downstairs, and I just met a little girl who looks like you."

"Like me?"

"Yes, innocent and kind, like a little angel."

"Uh......"

"What's wrong?"

"I really didn't expect to hear you praise me like this on Chinese New Year's Eve, hahaha, thank you host!"

"Don't think too much, you are naïve, the little angel is that girl."

"Explanation is a cover-up, I understand your praise! Yes...... Fireworks! ”

Suddenly, there were several loud bangs at intervals in the mobile phone, and the ears also roared at the same time, and I couldn't hear anything clearly, and I couldn't say anything clearly.

Zero o'clock has arrived, and the new year has thus begun its time. People lit the artillery battle at hand at this second, sending away Chinese New Year's Eve to welcome the New Year. At this moment, it was as if the whole world was plunged into the roar of various salutes, and there was no other sound.
