Shan Ke went back a little disappointed, he was not disappointed in Xiao Zi'an, but disappointed that he had no way to deal with Xia Zhiyan.

Xia Zhiyan is now like a timer, constantly counting down, which makes people very uneasy.

If they knew that Xia Zhiyan was an existence created by Xiao Zi'an, they would probably hate Xiao Zi'an, right?

Xiao Zi'an returned home, and suddenly there was an envelope at the door? He picked it up with some confusion, and there was not a word written on the white envelope.

Taken apart directly, inside is a photo. It is a photo of Xiao Shuhua being followed, and the bottom of this corner is very close.

"Don't you have any other skills, do you always threaten me with this?" Xiao Zi'an shook his head, then took out a match and burned the envelope and the photo directly, he didn't want the family to know, this would affect them.

It's good that he knows some things himself, and this is the safest existence.

In their eyes, Ling Qiaoxue, who was dead, was no longer a threat, and Xiao Shuhua had endured all the threats.

Ji Bo is no longer at work now, but he has been taking care of Xiao Shuhua, no longer fulfilling the responsibility of a bodyguard, but fulfilling the responsibility of a husband.

"What's going on, what are you burning?" Bai Qi was the first to sense, after all, her protective shield was around the room. The ability was tied to her, and there was a certain connection.

"Burned some paper, company contract. ”

"Are you okay?" Xiao Shuhua looked at him a little worriedly, he nodded and said, "Of course it's okay, don't worry!

"That's good, my eyelids have been jumping lately, and I had a dream yesterday. ”

"Dreams, what dreams?"

"I dreamed that Ling Qiaoxue was still alive. ”

"Yes, it's a pity that she's dead! The Ling family is dead! But this is definitely not my arrangement. Xiao Zi'an wanted to prove that the tragedy of the Ling family had nothing to do with him.

Bai Qi took her son's hand and said softly, "It's none of your business, Zi'an, you don't have to carry that." The choices that everyone makes are the ones she makes. Ling Qiaoxue too, although I understand her, she is really too hard! If there is an afterlife......

"There is no afterlife, but there is one life. There are no gods, no ghosts, no such things. When people die, they disappear!"

"Mom knew, she just wanted an excuse. Because she's so bitter!" Bai Qi hugged Xiao Zi'an, even though Ling Qiaoxue had killed a lot of strange people, her heart was tormented.

"I don't hate the things that the Strange Hunters did to me at all, and I don't hate Ling Qiaoxue who doesn't know anything. I wish I could have said these things to her personally. It's just a pity that I don't have such a chance!"

When she dreamed of Ling Qiaoxue yesterday, she didn't have time to say sorry in the dream, and then she woke up!

"Mom, you don't have to. It's been so long since it's been and it's all over. Let's look forward. ”

"Then you should start dating and getting married again. ”

"Life is not just about falling in love and getting married, there are many things that can be done. Is my mother a mother who just wants her children to get married and have children?

What Xiao Zi'an said, how could Bai Qi refute it? Bai Qi hugged him and said, "Of course, as long as you are happy, no matter what you do." Mom doesn't force it, she doesn't force you. But you still have a long way to go in your life, and I hope you can think about it. ”

Is he really happy now? Only he knows, maybe he knows that Ling Qiaoxue is still alive, and the child is still alive, and the current Xiao Zi'an is much calmer than before.

"I'll think about it, let's go inside!"

"Hmm. After they walked into the house, Bai Qi returned to the kitchen and continued to cook. Xiao Zi'an came to the study and opened a wooden box, which contained a pair of children's bracelets, but unfortunately he had no way to put them on for his children.

Xiao Zi'an desperately restrained his abilities from flowing to his children, and his children had to grow up like an ordinary person.

Ling Qiaoxue hugged Xue Bao, and it snowed in the whole village, and the heavy snow blocked the road, which was cold and cold. The charcoal prepared by Liu Xiong came in handy, as well as the heater.

But there was a power outage at night, and Ling Qiaoxue was very cold, so she hurried to make a charcoal fire. The next day, Liu Xiong went to check, and the heavy snow overwhelmed the telephone poles. During the Chinese New Year, no one came to repair it.

"Don't worry, I've got candles and oil lamps. ”

The grandmother in the village reminded them to prepare candles and oil lamps, it snows every year on the mountain, and those old wires and poles are particularly prone to problems when it snows, especially the power outage, which is very obvious.

"Thank you, thank you for your hard work!"

He shook his head and said, "It's not hard, this is what I'm supposed to do." By the way, I forgot to take this down. ”

It's a fur blanket, spread in a small bed, and Xuebao won't get cold.

Xue Bao's eyes are very similar to Xiao Zi'an, and her face, nose and mouth are like Ling Qiaoxue. Anyway, it combines the best of both of them.

"Liu Xiong, I really appreciate you. Ling Qiaoxue said it many times, and Liu Xiong also replied many times, he said: "No thanks, it's not a big deal." And I can't stay in that place, I stay in that city, it will affect my family, and I don't want to make them suffer because of me. ”

"You can go a lot of places without having to follow me here. I'll make it up to you, I still have a sum of money......"

"I don't need money, I have money for food and housing. Liu Xiong feels that when people reach a certain point, their desire for money is not so strong. Of course, he only represents himself.

"Hmm. Is there a lot of snow outside? I want to go out and have a look, can you help me watch the kids?"

"Are you sure?"

"Of course, it's the Chinese New Year's Eve, and I have to go out and have a look. Before this Chinese New Year's Eve, I have to go out. Ling Qiaoxue put on a thick coat and walked out.

The snow was really big, she had never seen such a big snow, and there was still snow in the sky, the snow was more than a meter high, and they had been cleaned up by Liu Xiong outside.

Ling Qiaoxue took off her gloves and gently stroked the snowflakes, feeling a chill in her heart.

"It's the New Year! It's quiet. "I heard the sound of snow crushing on the branches, and all that was the sound of charcoal burning in the room, the sound of explosions.

After a while, the children in the house cried, and Ling Qiaoxue hurried back to the house.

"She can't live without you, I can't. Liu Xiong said helplessly, it was useless for Xue Bao to coax her, Ling Qiaoxue would be fine if she picked her up directly.

Xue Bao stopped crying when she wanted to see Ling Qiaoxue, and as soon as Ling Qiaoxue stopped crying, she began to cry.

"Xuebao, be obedient, don't cry, you know? Today is the New Year, you have to laugh. Ling Qiaoxue hugged Xue Bao and shook it gently.

Xue Bao listened to Ling Qiaoxue's words very much, Ling Qiaoxue said that if she didn't cry, she wouldn't cry, and she would laugh when she laughed.

In fact, maybe it's because Ling Qiaoxue is teasing her, after all, how can a child who is only a few dozen days old be obedient?

Liu Xiong went to prepare food, and then shoveled away the snow in front of the houses of the old women next to him, and everyone opened a road to walk around.

The village has only been in the village for so many years, so everyone is ready to get together for the New Year, each family prepares a dish, and then eats at Ling Qiaoxue's house.

As it got dark, a bonfire was prepared outside the house to light it, and there were two fires in the house, and it was warm for a while.

Ling Qiaoxue put the child in the cradle, looked at her and said, "Mom moves a table, don't you move, you know?"

Xue Bao seemed to understand and blinked, Ling Qiaoxue went to move those Eight Immortal Tables out, and then took the rag and wiped it several times, because this was a relatively old table, Ling Qiaoxue was a little bit clean.

"Xuebao, Grandma Yao is here! Let Grandma Yao hug you. "Grandma Yao is the one who lives above Ling Qiaoxue, and she is the closest to her, and she comes over to help from time to time.

Xue Bao didn't make trouble in everyone's arms, because she could see Ling Qiaoxue right in front of her eyes, so she didn't have anything to make a fuss about.

Ling Qiaoxue set the table and found a tablecloth to spread it, the room was very romantic, and it was not from here at first glance.

Ling Qiaoxue went to boil the milk and diluted it a lot, so that everyone could and would not cause gastrointestinal discomfort.

Liu Xiong made three dishes, plus the old man's family brought one dish, and set a big table.

Chicken and duck, pig's trotters, bacon, egg custard, cabbage, cabbage and so on.

Everyone sat together and talked about happy things.

Because there is no electricity, everyone has no TV and mobile phones. Just sat together, chatting around the fire, a few grandmothers had endless words, Ling Qiaoxue listened quietly, she kept holding Xue Bao, Xue Bao hadn't cried since she had been crying during the day for two days!

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the Xiao family is also very lively, they have electricity and air conditioning, but there is no snow.

Outside, there was no snow or rain, but the cold was still there.

"Brother, you see, this big lobster is bigger than my head. Ji Bo specially went to buy it, it's not easy in winter!"

"It must be expensive! Ji Bo also bought the crab you like to eat, and now the ice is in the refrigerator. ”

"Ji Bo is so good to me, and he has been better for me after getting married!" Xiao Shuhua thought that men would change when they got married, and they would get worse. Everyone says that marriage is a grave, and the marriage between Xiao Zian and Ling Qiaoxue is full of pain. So Xiao Shuhua is indeed a little scared, but now there is no need for her to be afraid!

Ji Bo is a good man, she is very lucky, she sits and eats with her family like this in this life, and then it will be good when she is old!

They were eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the sound of fireworks was heard outside.

Two places, completely different environments, with different moods.

The world doesn't seem to have changed, it has always been like this, Xiao Zi'an knows that no matter what, the world will always return to its normal state, and it will look normal.

After eating, he sat on the lawn with a glass of wine and watched the fireworks in the sky.

Xiao Shuhua saw Xiao Zi'an on the lawn on the balcony, she wanted to go out, but Ji Bo stopped her.

"Give your brother time to blow the cold wind alone!"

"What's wrong with him? Obviously he was very happy before, but suddenly he became so sad? Did I say something wrong?" Xiao Shuhua looked at Ji Bo, Ji Bo shook his head, and he stretched out his hands to hug her waist from behind her.

"He must be missing someone!" guessed Ji Bo.

"Ling Qiaoxue?"

"Do you think there is anyone else besides her?" asked Ji Bo rhetorically.

Xiao Shuhua nodded, she said, "Indeed, it should be only Ling Qiaoxue!

"Well, don't think about this, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, to welcome the new year happily." ”

"Well, it's cold. A gust of wind blew, Xiao Shuhua trembled, and Ji Bo pulled her back to the room.

Close the door to prevent cold air from coming in. Looking at the clock on the wall, it was still a lot short of twelve o'clock. So Xiao Shuhua ran upstairs and watched a TV show with her parents.

The sound of fireworks outside was always there, and Xiao Zi'an sat for at least fifty or sixty minutes before coming in.

After coming in, he didn't go upstairs, he just sat with them, everyone looked happy, sitting there eating and waiting for the New Year.

The new year is hopeful for many, but torture for some.

"Do you have to wait until twelve o'clock?" Liu Xiong looked at Ling Qiaoxue, Ling Qiaoxue shook her head and said, "No, did you send them back?"

"Well, it's all sent back! Rest assured, everyone is safe. ”

"Thank you for your hard work, you have to go back to rest!" Looking at Xue Bao who was asleep in his arms, Ling Qiaoxue was also going to rest.

"Okay, I'll get rid of the campfire outside and go back to sleep. ”

Ling Qiaoxue nodded, Liu Xiong went out to see that the bonfire had some red-hot charcoal, so he took the hand stove, put them all in, and then covered a thin layer with ash, and divided it into two stoves, one stove was placed in Ling Qiaoxue's room, and the other stove was placed in his room.

Just in case, Liu Xiong shoveled the snow with a shovel to cover the place where the campfire was burning.

He then returned to his room and began to rest.

Their watches were turning, and the clock ticked by, and it was finally time to start counting down.

Ling Qiaoxue and Liu Xiong stared at their watches, Xiao Zi'an and Xiao Shuhua watched and listened to the programs on TV counting down.

Yu Yi stood under the clock of the largest city and watched the countdown, even Ling Qiaoxue held her mobile phone and watched the time count down.

10, 9, 8...... Three, two, one

The New Year has arrived, and the New Year has begun!

It seems to be a little different, but everything seems to be the same. Ling Qiaoxue hugged Xue Bao and lightly touched her forehead.

"Child, you must be an ordinary person, this is my New Year's resolution. ”

Xue Bao was already asleep, she couldn't hear what Ling Qiaoxue said, Ling Qiaoxue was a little tired, she blew out the candle, the whole world was completely dark, there was no light at all.

In a world without electricity, it seems that people can live. In fact, there are very few conditions for people to live, but they need many conditions to live well.

And even if you are satisfied with those conditions, you may not be happy if you live well.

Xiao Zi'an was not so happy in the face of the arrival of the New Year, his heart was empty, and the feeling was indescribably uncomfortable.

He had insomnia, and Xiao Zi'an didn't get up until half past ten in the morning.

and no one came up to call him, because they got up later. Xiao Shuhua slept until twelve o'clock, and even Bai Qi didn't get up until more than ten o'clock.

"Why don't you sleep for a while?" Xiao Fang was the first to get up, he sat downstairs, made a pot of tea and drank it slowly.

"It's past ten o'clock, are they?"

"Still sleeping, I guess you all slept late last night!"

Xiao Zi'an nodded, then sat next to Xiao Fang, took the teapot and poured a cup for himself.

"It's still hot, did you just soak it?"

"It's been more than ten minutes, and I haven't been up for long. Today is the first day of the new year, and everyone is relaxing vigorously. There are so many things that have happened this year!" Xiao Fang couldn't help but sigh, Xiao Zi'an nodded and said, "Yes, a lot has happened this year.
