Chapter 85 Happy Christmas
There is no Santa Claus in this world, all the surprises come from the people you love.

Su Nan looked at the words on the daily personalized wallpaper of today's mobile phone, and there was a sparkling Christmas tree in the background of a snowy field.

Today is Christmas.Turn on the phone and see a browser push.

Regardless of whether there is a holiday today, I wish you a happy day.

Wow, today is really, so festive.

Looking at the words on the screen, Su Nan felt inexplicably sad.

In fact, she often thinks, if she hadn't done that before, what would she be like now, would she be happier than she is now.

But if the memory is erased again, Su Nan will still choose again as before.

Even if she does it again ten thousand times, she will still make that choice firmly, and then regret it later.

But if she came back again with her memory and didn't choose so, she felt that she would still regret it.

"What are you thinking?" Nie Mang walked in from the door of the store.

"I have a question for you." Su Nan looked up at Nie Mang, "If you were to live again with memories, would you still choose to live like this?"

Nie Mang thought for a while, "Well, to be honest, it is impossible to say that I have never regretted it. But if I do it again, I will definitely do it again. When I make every decision, I always think that doing it will make me feel better. That's how it's done."

Su Nan nodded.

"And, have you ever heard a sentence, what you miss, what you gain, what you lose are all predestined, you have to believe in God's choice. If you are not doing well now, it means that it is not the end yet, or you Going against my own ideas." Nie Mang said seriously.

"Wow, you actually believe this." Su Nan looked at Nie Mang in surprise.

"Why can't I believe this?" Nie Mang looked at Su Nan strangely.

"I always thought you were someone who didn't believe in these things and looked down on everything." Su Nan nodded.

"You can put it down, you have deeply misunderstood me." Nie Mang clicked his tongue twice.

"Maybe I have too much filter on you." Su Nan shook her head.

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?" Nie Mang asked while sitting next to Su Nan.

"Suddenly, I thought, if I hadn't chosen to do that before, would I still be studying hard in school and preparing for the college entrance examination? The biggest worry is that there are so many homework and the ranking is not ideal. Instead of thinking about how to survive now. You don't even have the right to be sad." Su Nan sighed.

"It's not that you have to study to have a way out. Look at me, after finishing college, I still open a pet shop here. This kind of thing can be done with snacks, and you have never read a book. In fact, the most important thing is not you. Have you ever read a book? It’s about whether you work hard and put your heart into your life.” Nie Mang stroked Su Nan, “Some people who graduated from well-known universities can’t even work for [-] a month. But some people just go to primary school You didn’t graduate, started a big company, and lived better than anyone else. Whether you have studied or not doesn’t decide everything, it’s you who can decide your life.”

"It seems to make sense. I just don't know when my chance will come." Su Nan sighed.

"So you have to work hard to live. Opportunities belong to those who are prepared. If you have no ability and the opportunity is in front of you, you can only give it to others." Nie Mang patted Su Nan.

"I see, you are like that old lady, nagging." Su Nan looked at Nie Mang with a smile.

"I don't want to see you go on like this." Nie Mang looked at Su Nan, "I don't know if you have noticed that recently you will be in a daze when you are working, sighing, and always talking to yourself. The ones who are talking, laughing and crying at the same time, I panic when I look at it."

Su Nan frowned, "Why don't I know?"

"I feel like you're going crazy." Nie Mang shook his head, "Okay, come and help me decorate things for Christmas."

Su Nan looked at Nie Mang and got up, "Oh oh oh."

"It may be a little too much." Nie Mang stood up, "Come on, go to the car and help me get things."

Su Nan followed Nie Mang to move things.

Open the trunk, it is really a trunk full of things.

"I finally know why you came at ten o'clock today." Su Nan took the things.

Nie Mang picked up the things and walked to the store with Su Nan, "Actually, I was going to get it yesterday, I'm too lazy."

Su Nan put the Christmas tree by the door and knelt down to decorate the tree.

Nie Mang moved things in bit by bit.

After decorating the tree and moving things, the two of them started to work slowly.

"Where are the five Santas climbing on the tree?" Su Nan looked around the store, but couldn't figure out where to hang them.

"Well, behind the front desk, above the word Little Monster, there are five white lights on the top of the wall, above the hanging lights. Step on the bench. Be careful." Nie Mang pointed to the lights.

Su Nan nodded, watching Nie Mang holding a few climbing ladders and Santa Claus trying to stick them on the wall, "Hey, hey, it feels better if you put it on the ground."

Nie Mang looked at Su Nan and thought for a while, "It seems so."

Su Nan nodded, and each started to work.

After finishing things, Su Nan climbed down and opened the box, looked at a box of different Christmas-themed slaps, and looked up at Nie Mang, "What is this thing for?"

"Oh, oh, yes, this is one for everyone who enters the store for consumption today." Nie Mang turned to look at Su Nan, "It's one for everyone, not one for each."

"So generous?" Su Nan put the box under the desk at the front desk.

"I accidentally bought the wrong one. I originally wanted to buy ten, but I bought a hundred as a gift." Nie Mang smiled embarrassedly.

Su Nan shook her head, it seemed like something she would do.

Nie Mang took out a big bag of small Christmas hats, "Here, the two of us, put all the dogs and cats on."

Su Nan took the hat, "I'm so happy, animals also have Christmas."

Su Nan went to the lane on the third floor. They were already familiar with her, and they were obediently at her mercy when they saw that they wanted to wear a hat.

Finished and went downstairs, Nie Mang was hanging Christmas vines at the gate.

"It's such a big one. Why do you buy such a big one? There are cute little ones at the door of the store." Su Nan looked at the Christmas vine circle that was almost proportional to the door.

"Isn't it the wrong size? At that time, I wondered why such a thing cost fifty-nine." Nie Mang shook his head helplessly.

"What about these little Christmas ornaments?" Su Nan looked at the opened box full of animal ornaments in Christmas clothes.

"It's fine to arrange these casually, whichever looks better to you." Nie Mang turned his head.

Su Nan nodded to express understanding.

Arranged floor by floor, when the third floor came down, Nie Mang was tuning a song in front of the computer desktop.

"What song is this?" Su Nan listened to a Christmas song, but didn't feel like it.

"I don't know, the playlist I searched is very stylish." Nie Mang raised his head and said.

Su Nan tilted her head, "It's a niche Christmas song that amazed the moment I opened it, wow, it's really stylish."

"Why do I feel like you're laughing at me?" Nie Mang looked down at Su Nan.

Su Nan shook her head, "How could I laugh at you?"

"What do you think of what I made?" Nie Mang pointed to the things she just made.

Su Nan looked at the Christmas string lights hanging around, "It doesn't look good until the lights are turned on at night, why are you setting them up so early?"

"I'm too lazy to do it at night." Nie Mang turned on the string lights, "It looks better now."

"At that moment just now, I didn't feel like a pet shop anymore." Su Nan grinned.

"Come, come, let's put the green Norbeson and string lights above the store door." Nie Mang moved the ladder out, "You pass it to me below."

"Oh oh oh." Su Nan went out to help.

Looking at the two people who were struggling to operate, Su Nan couldn't help complaining, "Why don't you let your husband do it?"

"He's also going to make it in his shop." Nie Mang got down and moved the ladder, then climbed up to continue.

"Hey, aren't these one-time items a waste of money?" Su Nan suddenly felt sorry for the money.

"It won't continue next year." Nie Mang climbed down to continue.

"Then what about yours from last year?" Su Nan thought, hasn't this shop been around for several years?

"Well, I forgot where I put it, and I can't find it anywhere." Nie Mang smiled embarrassedly.

This was also within Su Nan's expectation.

"Perfect." Nie Mang climbed down and nodded satisfied with the result.

"I invite you to have lunch." Nie Mang turned on his phone and ordered takeaway.

While waiting for the takeaway, two more dogs were washed, and six people came, all of whom should be friends. Nie Mang cheerfully sent out gifts. She wished more people would come, because they couldn't send them away and had to save them until next year.

But it's okay, those few people saw that there were gifts, but they were embarrassed, and bought two more bags of grain.

When they left, the takeaway arrived.

I have to say that the atmosphere is really full, not to mention that the bag is Santa Claus, the lunch box is red, and the lid is green, I just laughed when I opened it.

She ordered donburi rice, and she gave two boxes, with ordinary donburi on the top, and she actually arranged the rice on the bottom to look like Santa Claus, with seaweed on top to show his facial features.

"Are restaurants like this now?" Su Nan looked at Nie Mang with a smile.

"Even the pet store is so curvy, tell me, can the restaurant not be curly." Nie Mang took out his phone to take a picture.

Su Nan shook her head helplessly.

Maybe it's Christmas, and there's really no business, just some shopping, washing a few dogs and cats.

Nie Mang was tired from playing with his mobile phone, he looked up at Su Nan, "Go back and spend Christmas with your friends."

"Ah?" Su Nan thought for a while, "Won't there be many people on Christmas night? And it's only three o'clock."

"No. They're all out for the festival." Nie Mang pointed to the door, "And that girl has been standing there for a long time."

Su Nan turned around.

Xu Linlin smiled and waved at the door.

Su Nan hurriedly got up to say goodbye to her and was about to leave work.

"Why are you here?" Su Nan walked out.

"Aren't you leaving get off work soon?" Xu Linlin walked forward with Su Nan on his arm.

"Yes. There are still two hours, but fortunately there is no one today. Why didn't you do your homework at home?" Su Nan turned to look at Xu Linlin.

"It's Christmas today. So I finished writing it long ago." Xu Linlin looked at Su Nan with a smile, "Let's go, let's celebrate Christmas!"

"I finally know why you asked me to wear this dress to go out this morning." Su Nan looked at the pink sweater on her body, and she was wearing a blue sweater.

"Take a picture." Xu Linlin pulled Su Nan excitedly.

"Hey hey, don't be so disgusting, people think we're in a relationship if they don't know." Su Nan pushed Xu Linlin's head away.

After getting on the bus, Su Nan remembered, "Where are we going?"

"I made a reservation for Haidilao today." Xu Linlin turned on her phone and showed Su Nan, "It's half an hour later, it was just right in the past, and there are many people at Christmas today, so I made the reservation a few days ago."

"Wow, wow, I don't even know." Su Nan looked at Xu Linlin, "The arrangement is so thoughtful, is there any other program?"

"Yes, I bought a movie ticket and ordered a cake." Xu Linlin called up a screenshot of the movie.

"The two of us go to see the myth of love?" Su Nan looked at her suspiciously.

Xu Linlin nodded, "I heard it's not bad."

"Okay, okay." Su Nan nodded helplessly.

"It's the stop, let's go." Xu Linlin pulled Su Nan into the mall.

At the entrance of Haidilao, I finally knew why I had to make a reservation. A bunch of people were sitting at the entrance and waiting for the number.

This kind of aboveboard feeling of jumping in line is inexplicably good.

Su Nan and Xu Linlin walked in, the inside was overcrowded and there were no empty seats.

Only one place reserved for them was vacant.

Su Nan went to adjust the seasoning and get the fruit, and Xu Linlin ordered.

When she came back with two bowls of seasoning, two bowls of beef and celery, and a plate of fruit, she had already ordered.

"Wow, wow, that's amazing, so much is brought." Xu Linlin got up to help.

"What did you order?" Su Nan sat down.

"Same as before. Two clear water, one spicy, one tomato. The dishes are just those, beef, mutton, hairy tripe, shrimp slippery, duck blood, bamboo shoots, baby vegetables, lo mein."

Su Nan nodded, "Why don't we change it next time. We eat these every time we come."

"The problem is that we only eat these." Xu Linlin looked at her with a smile.

"It seems to be the same." Su Nan picked up the soy milk in front of him, "Don't you like drinking soy milk?"

"So mine is sour plum soup." Xu Linlin picked up the sour plum soup in front of him.

"I didn't see it." Su Nan smiled embarrassedly.

"Do you feel that we are missing something?" Xu Linlin suddenly looked at Su Nan.

Su Nan looked at Xu Linlin and shook her head.

"Oh, I didn't take the cake. Really." Xu Linlin got up and went out.

Su Nan shook her head, no one around her had a good memory.

After a while Xu Linlin came back with the cake.

"So fast?" Su Nan looked at her in surprise.

"It's the one downstairs, how slow can it be?" Xu Linlin sat down with a cake.

"Wow, it looks pretty. It's custom made." Su Nan looked at the cake.

Xu Linlin nodded.

"It's not cheap, is it?" Su Nan opened the cake.

The front of the cake is three cut triangles with different patterns, the first one is painted with a green Christmas tree, the second one is Santa Claus, and the third one is an elk.In the back are three cupcakes, the first with a snowman on top, the second with a gingerbread man and the third with a Christmas tree.There is also a miniature Christmas tree on the cake board, a small balloon, a red flag, and a Santa hat.

Xu Linlin nodded, "It's okay, once a year, not every day."

"Come on, come on, how can you not take a picture if it's so beautiful?" Su Nan picked up her phone to take a picture.

"Sister, are you ready to eat? The pot is boiling." Xu Linlin looked helplessly at Su Nan who had been taking pictures.

"Okay, let's eat." Su Nan put down the phone in satisfaction.

"Do you still remember the seniors of the basketball team in the third year when we were in the first year of high school?" Xu Linlin poured the vegetables into the pot.

Su Nan thought for a while, "Oh, I remembered. Aren't they very famous? What's wrong?"

"Isn't today Christmas?" Xu Linlin looked at Su Nan.

"Yeah, I'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me." Su Nan sighed, "Those people probably don't want to spend Christmas in their life."

"When I came out today, I saw them coming out of the school at the gate of the school. They were all wearing black clothes and got into a car. Looking in that direction, I guessed that they were going there." Xu Linlin also sighed, "Really, hemp rope Specially pick and choose the details, bad luck only finds the poor."

"I remember that on the day of the accident, they were all making up lessons at school. They rushed out when they heard about it. And since that day, no matter how they usually make up lessons, the whole school is closed on Christmas. It seems that it was just to let them come. Not Christmas last year Going back from vacation, is there a pile of white flowers on the basketball court?" Su Nan thought it was a pity, "That boy is really nice, I have met him before."

"Yes, during your writing competition before." Xu Linlin shook his head, "Really, I feel sad."

If Su Nan remembers correctly, things went like this.

That year, because Christmas was not far away from the exam, all the third-year students stayed in school for tutoring.

Except for the boy, he followed the school teacher to other places to participate in the writing competition.

That boy is a child from a poor family, but he has very good grades and loves playing basketball. He belongs to the basketball team. He is very kind, very cheerful.So he is relatively famous in school, and he is very popular, whether it is male or female.

All went well.

Because it was a competition he participated in on his own, two teachers drove him there.

The two teachers sat in front and he sat in the back.

It seems that the sky is teasing people, and it seems that all the days when the accident happened were heavy rainstorms.

It was raining heavily when they came back.

It's the kind of heavy rain that can't see people clearly.

All the way back was fine, and it was not far from the school after getting off the expressway, and the boys had already fallen asleep behind.

At the place where the school was about to turn a corner, a large truck rushed out from the intersection very quickly, as if it wanted to pass quickly because the light was about to be red, just in time to hit the car that was about to turn in.

The car just flew out.

The whole car is shredded.

The two teachers in front were seriously injured because of seat belts and airbags, and they got better after lying in the hospital until Chinese New Year.

The teacher of the co-pilot also lost one eye because of this, as if a piece of glass flew in.But somehow he saved his life.

The boy behind was not so lucky, and flew out of the broken car window.

It fell directly more than three meters away from the crime scene.When the ambulance arrived, he was declared dead.

There was no chance of rescue.

But the only thing that can comfort people is that the boy was in a sleep state at that time, and he became comatose in an instant after the accident, and then died.

Anyway, there was no pain.

But for those who survived, it brought endless pain and self-blame.

After the accident, the hospital notified the school, and the teacher notified those people.

But when they rushed over, it was just him covered with a white cloth and covered in bruises.

The teacher choked up when he mentioned this matter to everyone. They had never seen it before. It turns out that boys can collapse to that state.

Those on the basketball team took leave for a long time, as if they were helping with the funeral.

Because in the family of the boy who had the accident, only grandparents were left.

I heard that their grandparents were sluggish from the incident to the end, and they didn't want any compensation after that.

And every weekend, they still stand at the intersection waiting for their grandson to leave school, from morning to night.

And within a year after this incident happened, his grandparents also passed away one after another.

Their funeral was also done with the help of those boys.

A family just disappeared from the world.

Although the exam was approaching at that time, the teachers and the school did not blame them at that time.

"Thinking about it now, it's really true. I'll be gone forever." Xu Linlin gave Su Nan a piece of hairy belly.

"So, don't worry too much in life. The ghost knows if you will be alive or not in the next second. Just be happy." Su Nan nodded.

"It makes sense. So don't talk about losing weight. Eat the hot pot and cake." Xu Linlin gave Su Nan a piece of cake with a smile.

"No, big sister, the two of us, what are you doing? I bought it, enough for four people, right?" Su Nan took the cupcake.

"You see many, not many." Xu Linlin picked up a cupcake and gave it to the little brother who had just put down the lo mein next to him, "Merry Christmas."

"Thank you, thank you, no need." The younger brother smiled and waved his hand.

"Eat it, the two of us can't finish it." Xu Linlin stuffed the cake into the little brother's hand.

The little brother took the cake in embarrassment and left.

"Hey, he's pretty handsome, go ahead." Su Nan looked at the back of Brother Lo Mein, "Maybe it's your happiness."

"Pull it down, men will only affect my quality of life." Xu Linlin smiled disdainfully.

"It makes sense." Su Nan poured all the vegetables down.

"Brother, can you stop eating hot pot like Malatang?" Xu Linlin looked at Su Nan with disgust.

"Isn't it all about eating? What's the difference between eating a little bit and eating a bunch?" Su Nan ignored Xu Linlin.

"You local dog won't understand." Xu Linlin shook his head and looked at Su Nan, "Eat quickly."

"What are you doing?" Su Nan looked at Xu Linlin who was not moving her chopsticks, "Don't tell me you are full?"

Xu Linlin looked at Su Nan with a smile and nodded.

"Are you kidding me? Guess why I got fatter after I met you?" Su Nan looked at Xu Linlin.

"Okay, okay. I'll eat." Xu Linlin picked up the chopsticks.

But it was really too much. After eating the cake and hot pot, both of them became hideous.

Xu Linlin rubbed her stomach with difficulty, "Next time, I must make it smaller."

"What time is the movie?" Su Nan picked up the phone with difficulty, "It's half past five."

"Huh?" Xu Linlin sat up abruptly, "The movie at [-]:[-] is crooked."

"Damn? Why don't you hurry up?" Su Nan stood up.

"Wait a minute, I didn't pay." Xu Linlin took out his phone and took it easy.

Su Nan looked very uncomfortable.

The two of them rushed to the cinema after paying the money.

"Sister, next time, can you weigh whether we will be too late." Su Nan gasped on the elevator.

"It's in time, it's in time." Xu Linlin said panting from the side.

After trotting all the way, sitting in the cinema, Su Nan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the advertisement was playing.

"I'm going to spit it out if I run again." Xu Linlin sat on the side and touched his chest.

"Who told you not to pay attention to the time." Su Nan was also panting.

As soon as the cinema went dark, it started.

In fact, to be honest, from the beginning to the end, Su Nan was in a daze.

"Let's go." Xu Linlin tugged at Su Nan who was sitting there.

"That old grandpa passed away just like that? So is this old grandpa related to that woman?" Su Nan got up with a puzzled expression.

"It should be. Didn't someone come to take back his house in the end?" Xu Linlin walked beside Su Nan.

"It's so complicated." Su Nan shook her head.

"It's quite simple." Xu Linlin looked at Su Nan.

"I feel like I understand, but I don't feel like I understand." Su Nan held Xu Linlin's arm.

"Maybe you have no brains." Xu Linlin smiled.

"Get lost." Su Nan hit her.

"Hey, McDonald's has a new product, let's go and eat it." Xu Linlin pulled Su Nan to McDonald's. "I saw that there are candied haws on the Internet, that Mai Xuanfeng."

"You can tell, they must have bought that candied haws themselves." Su Nan didn't believe it.

Xu Linlin didn't believe Su Nan.

After handing it over, Xu Linlin believed it.

"Isn't this just jam with a little hawthorn candy?" Xu Linlin looked at Mai Xuanfeng in his hand.

"Let me tell you, that's how it is." Su Nan picked up her phone to take a picture.

Xu Linlin was still not reconciled, "Why don't we go and buy some candied haws and put them on top? If we can fool anyone, we can."

"Get out." Su Nan didn't bother to talk to her.

"Wow, wow, I didn't even see it." Xu Linlin yelled while holding the phone.

"What are you doing?" Su Nan stretched out her head, "Want to watch it? Then watch it again."

"They said manslaughter is very good-looking." Xu Linlin held out her mobile phone in front of Su Nan, "There are still [-] minutes until the next game, buy some milk tea, some food, and let's go."

Su Nan was dragged forward by her, "Have you seen it before?"

"Didn't we watch the Avengers last time?" Xu Linlin walked into Guming.

"So, the last time I watched it, we didn't know anything about the smiles and tears of the people around me." Su Nan looked at Xu Linlin.

"It's okay. One and two don't match." Xu Linlin looked at Su Nan confidently.

"Okay, okay." Su Nan couldn't talk to her.

Facts have proved that there is really no taga.

After reading it, Su Nan said that the ticket was worth buying.

"Oh my god, I like Wen Yongshan so much, and I also did it in Detective Chinatown before. Her appearances are so amazing." Su Nan praised.

"Why are your concerns so different from mine?" Xu Linlin put his arm on Su Nan's shoulders, "Li Zhiting is so attractive inside."

"There's something wrong with you." Su Nan looked at her with a smile.

"Really, especially that sentence, let me imitate it for you." Xu Linlin cleared his throat, "My rules are rules! It's so cute."

"Crazy." Su Nan pushed her to dislike her ashamed.

"Okay, let's go home. Bus, taxi, donkey, bicycle, choose one." Xu Linlin asked Su Nan.

"Walk." Su Nan pulled her out of the mall.

"It's such a long way to go back." Xu Linlin was unwilling.

"The city center is only half an hour away from us, okay? If you eat too much, digest it." Su Nan dragged her away.

"Okay, okay." Xu Linlin surrendered and followed Su Nan, "It's getting dark."

"You don't check what time it is anymore, go back to wash and sleep." Su Nan said helplessly.

"It's annoying, how does one day go by so fast." Xu Linlin sighed, "I have to go to school tomorrow."

"Study hard and improve every day." Su Nan smiled, "It's not long before the exam, so prepare well."

"It's almost crooked, it's six or seven in January. It's really annoying." Xu Linlin sighed.

"One exam is one less. After this exam, the college entrance examination in June is crooked. Come on." Su Nan poked Xu Linlin, "If you are admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, you will make me look good."

"It's as if you are my parents." Xu Linlin laughed at Su Nan.

"You said it yourself." Su Nan nodded, "I was your father."

"Get lost. It's all cheap." Xu Linlin gave Su Nan a push.

"It's better not to take advantage of the advantages." Su Nan grinned.

"By the way, I forgot." Xu Linlin took out something from his bag and gave Su Nan "Merry Christmas."

"Wow, I made the bracelet myself." Su Nan took the gift.

"How do you know?" Xu Linlin looked at Su Nan curiously.

"It's so ugly, who would sell it." Su Nan put on this colorful bracelet.

"Get lost, it's all my love." Xu Linlin pouted.

"You look like my gift is stupid." Su Nan gave her the gift from her bag.

"It's so expensive, twenty yuan." Xu Linlin opened the jewelry box and read the words on it, "Are you retarded?"

"This is Lin Pinru." Su Nan looked at the moon necklace in the jewelry box, "It's really twenty yuan."

"So retarded." Xu Linlin smiled, "I really like it. Hahahahahaha."

"Then keep it well, you know." Su Nan smiled, "She also saw this on the Internet and bought it."

"You didn't tell me Merry Christmas."

"Okay. Merry Christmas."

"You are so perfunctory."

"Merry Christmas."

"It's still perfunctory."

"Merry Christmas beautiful."

"Hee hee hee. Okay. Got it."

Su Nan shook her head and watched Xu Linlin bouncing ahead.

Christmas is fast, one day is gone.

There was no delay for a few seconds because it was Christmas, as usual, it was over after a meal.

There will be many festivals to come, but the Christmas that belongs to them in 2021 is only one day.

Merry Christmas to us.

You and me, and us.
