Chapter 24: The Winter Solstice
The dormitory in the morning was very lively, and they were all talking about where to eat mutton today.
Because of today's winter solstice, there is a saying in Guiyang that if you eat mutton powder on the winter solstice, you are not afraid of the cold.
As a Guiyang with an average annual temperature of more than ten degrees, it can be said that it has won the name of several cool capitals in the southwest, and in winter, there is often no sunlight for dozens of days, and sometimes there are a few freezing rains.
This year's winter solstice is drizzling, the weather outside is unusually cold, and Tranquility is on the morning shift again today, and I am reluctant to get up in the quilt.
Rainy Guiyang is colder than snowy days, she gets up and wears warm clothes, plus a sweater, and a coat outside, wrapped thickly, shuttling through the cold street in the morning.
Today's winter solstice is Friday, she wants to get off work and make an appointment with Lin Jiajia and Han Chen and Han Bin to spend the winter solstice together, it just so happens that tomorrow and Saturday is her day off, and they don't go to class.
Because several of her good friends haven't spoken for a long time, she wants to cherish her friends, and she wants them to be the same as before.
The supermarket on the winter solstice is also very lively, and many people want to make some delicious food on this day.
The quiet of the busy day, there was no chance to sit down and rest, and by the time she got off work at three o'clock in the afternoon, she was already exhausted.
She mustered up the courage to call Han Chen, and Han Chen's gentle and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hey, hey, hey" She didn't answer after a few feeds. The other party said again: "I'll hang up when I don't speak." ”
"I'm Tranquility," she replied eagerly, as if afraid of the phone being hung up suddenly.
"Serenity" his reply was obviously surprised, probably not expecting her to call him.
She continued: "Today's winter solstice, I want to eat with you, I'm off work now, why don't you book a place." ”
He hesitated for a while and didn't answer, maybe because he was afraid that he would be overwhelmed by seeing her after a long absence, or maybe he was afraid that he didn't know how to hide the embarrassment of seeing her.
"Why, can't you come?" Tranquility spoke to him in a tone of unpleasantness.
"No, no, I'll come to you now, you wait for me. ”
These few simple words warmed her deeply, and his voice was as warm as a summer day, melting the coldness of the whole winter.
After hanging up the phone, she felt a lot more relaxed, as easy as a stone that had been pressed for a long time was removed.
When she was about to call Han Bin with her mobile phone, her PHS suddenly vibrate, and it was Han Bin who called.
A slight smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she happily answered the phone with her hand.
Han Bin heard her happy laughter, and asked mischievously, "What's so happy about winning the lottery?"
"I was about to call you when you called," Serenity replied.
"Then does this prove that we have a soul?" said Han Bin and giggled.
Tranquility didn't answer his words, but bypassed the topic and directly said that it would rain to eat together.
She didn't expect that Han Bin was already on the way to the drive, and he was almost at the door of the supermarket, he always calculated her morning and evening shifts accurately, and wrote it clearly on the calendar every month.
Other people's calendar cards are all clean or marked class schedules, but he is the only one who has a quiet work schedule. There are also various small pictures painted on the side.
By the time Tranquility slowly came out of the supermarket, he was already waiting at the door of the supermarket.
As soon as she came out of the door, she saw him standing there leisurely with an umbrella and waiting.
"Why are you so fast?" she asked, surprised.
"How's that? "Touched?" he replied, particularly mischievously.
"Touched, touched God has rained for you. She replied mischievously.
Lin Jiajia opened the door in the car and waved at her, obviously she was even more surprised.
She didn't care that it was still raining, and rushed to the side of the car as if she were running, opened the door and rushed into the car.
Han Bin on the side shook his head helplessly with an umbrella, and returned to the cab alone.
The three of them have already arrived, and now they are waiting for Han Chen, there is a small nocillary restaurant called (shrimp and mutton noodles) in front of the flower orchard. They all decide where to go.
