During the night, heavy snow suddenly fell in Beiping, and it did not stop until the afternoon of the next day. The whole city of Beiping has become a silver world, the ground seems to be covered with white carpets, the houses seem to be covered with cotton wool, and the big trees are like pear blossoms. Looking from afar, the jade tree and the jade branches, silver makeup and jade masonry, as if entering the world of immortals.

In a courtyard in Mao'er Hutong, Su Bai was sitting at his desk writing a manuscript. They are more free reporters, they don't have to sit on shifts, and they can go home and write after the interview. There was an IBM PC/XT computer on the table next to him, and Xu Wangbei was sitting in front of the computer, constantly tapping on the keyboard and typing characters.

In the future, Sugon is ready to make computers and computer hardware, and Sugon employees must receive corresponding training. It's just that the computer is not just a theory, but also a real thing. So, Xu Wangchuan bought two computers, one for them to use for research, and the other for his sister to use, so that she could study.

There are more than 20,000 IBM PC/XT units, which are afraid of losing them in the school dormitory. Xu Wangbei put the computer here in Su Bai, and when he wanted to use it, he ran to Su Bai to use it. Now that the school is on vacation, Xu Wangbei has not gone home, and he is tinkering with the computer in Su Bai every day.

Xu Wangbei typed on the keyboard for a while and pressed enter. The screen first displayed "I am Xu Wangqiu" in large Chinese and English characters, and then, a square-headed and square-headed digital figure appeared on the screen, flashing big eyes and mouths one by one, singing: "The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north; The heart is like the vast water of the Yellow River......"

She laughed proudly, went to the stove, and listened to the "second brother" sing while roasting the fire.

In this era, it is not a problem to have no refrigerator at home, but it is absolutely impossible to do without a coal stove. Coal stoves are indispensable for boiling water and cooking, and coal stoves are also indispensable for heating in winter. In the winter evening, the family warms up around the stove, bakes a few steamed buns and sweet potatoes, chats while eating, and the family is happy.

When the "second brother" finished singing "Serving the Country with Loyalty", Xu Wangbei found that he missed the second brother more and more, and turned to Su Bai and said: "Sister Su Bai, what did the second brother do when he went to Chang'an, it's been a few days, why haven't you come back?"

A few days ago, after Xu Wangqiu returned to Beiping from Xiangjiang, he went home. At that time, Su Bai and Xu Wangbei were not at home, so he left a note on the table, saying that he would go to Chang'an for a few days and come back soon.

Su Bai put down his pen and sighed softly: "I don't know, it should be a very important matter." ”

"The second brother is really excessive, he has been in Xiangjiang for so long, and he won't look at us when he comes back, so he will go to Chang'an. Xu Wangbei gave Su Bai an idea, "Sister Su Bai, you have to take care of my second brother." My mom said that men must take care of it. ”

At this moment, a familiar voice came in from outside the house: "Wangbei, you little traitor!"

Su Bai and Xu Wangbei heard Xu Wangqiu's familiar voice and glanced at each other, their eyes shining with surprise. Xu Wangbei excitedly shouted "Second Brother", walked quickly to the door, and opened the door. I saw a familiar figure standing at the door, holding a bag in his hand, looking at him with a smile.

When Xu Wangbei saw Xu Wangqiu, he was so excited that he was like a child who got the New Year's money, pulled Xu Wangqiu's arm, and shook it vigorously: "Second brother, why did you come back?"

Xu Wangqiu patted her head lightly: "Second brother has to work! Isn't this coming back after work!" He walked into the house, closed the door, and said to Su Bai with a smile: "Su Bai, I'm back." ”

Su Bai nodded again and again: "It's good to come back! It's good to come back! You must be cold, hurry up and roast." ”

Xu Wangqiu smiled at her, put down the salute, and sat by the stove to test the fire. It's really too cold outside, and the cold wind blows on your body, like a knife cutting. He saw Xu Wangbei looking at him sideways, and joked with a smile: "Wangbei, I heard that during the time when the second brother was away, you secretly had a boyfriend, is it true?"

Xu Wangbei jumped up suddenly: "Who is talking nonsense? I didn't have a boyfriend." ”

Xu Wangqiu said with a smile: "Don't tell the second brother, you haven't received a love letter?"

Xu Wangbei's face was like an apple, and he said embarrassedly: "No, really not, they all treat me as a buddy, saying that my personality is the same as that of a boy." ”

Xu Wangqiu deliberately covered his face and said to Su Bai: "What kind of vision do Tsinghua boys have? Our family Wangbei is so beautiful and so cute, they actually treat her as a buddy? They also say that my family Wangbei has a personality like a boy? Where does our family Wangbei look like a boy? It's really blind to their dog eyes!"

Xu Wangbei was even more embarrassed: "Originally, I was very bold and righteous." ”

Xu Wangqiu said in a long voice: "Yes, I think they have other ideas." ”

Xu Wangbei blushed and said, "Second brother, you hate it, I'll ignore you." Xu Wangbei grabbed Su Bai's arm and said coquettishly: "Sister Su Bai, you take care of my second brother, he opened his mouth and said nonsense. ”

Su Bai smiled and said, "Okay, Wangbei is thin-skinned, don't tease her." ”

Xu Wangqiu thought to himself, I don't tease him, then I'll tease you, okay? It's just that my sister is by my side, and I didn't say this. While baking the fire, Xu Wangqiu talked to Su Bai and Xu Wangbei, telling the story of Xiangjiang and the interesting things that happened to the crew. In order to practice murderous spirit, Jiang Dawei was bitten by a pig and told it as a joke. But he didn't tell the rumor that David Jiang was bitten off, just that a piece of meat was bitten off his leg, and the whole Xiangjiang knew about it.

Su Bai didn't speak, just listened quietly.

Xu Wangbei kept talking and introduced all the new things in the school and the new things that have recently appeared in Beiping City to Xu Wangqiu. For example, there is a supermarket in Haidian Huangzhuang, of course, it is not called a supermarket now, it is called a self-selected shopping mall, which only sells vegetables and meat, and the price is much more expensive than the vegetable market not far away. But as soon as it opened, it still attracted many people from Beiping to watch the excitement. Xu Wangbei and Su Bai also joined in the excitement and went to buy vegetables.

Xu Wangbei complained to Xu Wangqiu that the things in it were too expensive, and most of the people who bought vegetables were foreigners, but foreigners were not satisfied, they complained that there was only the price on the packaging bag, but there was no trade name and quality, and they often bought chicken as pork.

After chatting for a while, Xu Wangqiu saw that the time was not early, so he asked Xu Wangbei to call the eldest brother over. The family hasn't seen each other for a long time, so they should find a restaurant and have a good meal. Xu Wangbei flew out of the yard like a happy bird and went to find Xu Wangchuan.

Xu Wangqiu smiled and shook his head, thinking that this girl was so big, and she was still in a hurry, like a child. He turned his head to look at Su Bai and saw her looking at him with a smile in her eyes. Su Bai didn't seem to be resting well, with tiredness between his eyebrows and eyes, and obvious dark circles under his eyes. He was a little distressed, took her hand, and said softly: "Su Bai, you have lost weight." ”

Su Bai touched his face: "Am I thin?" She looked at Xu Wangqiu's face: "It seems that you are doing well in Xiangjiang, but you are fat." ”

Xu Wangqiu laughed and said: "No way, the Xiangjiang crew does have a better diet." ”

Su Bai looked at Xu Wangqiu and asked, "Then you are in Xiangjiang, do you miss me very much?"

Xu Wangqiu made a thinking appearance: "I have to think about this question. During the day, I'm busy making movies, from early in the morning to evening, and I really don't have time to think about you. In the evening, I have to watch the sample film again, and I have to discuss the content of the next day's shooting, and I have to be busy until eleven or twelve o'clock, and I don't have time to think about you. When I fall asleep, you always appear in my dreams, sometimes we walk by the sea holding hands, sometimes we go to Kilimanjaro to see the snow, sometimes we look at the paintings in the Louvre, sometimes we look at the stars under the emerald night sky, sometimes we do things without shame. I don't know if this counts as missing you?"

Su Bai took a sip lightly, and said with a bright smile: "Reluctantly." ”

Xu Wangqiu asked, "Then did you miss me?"

Su Bai suddenly stopped talking, and looked at Xu Wangqiu quietly, his eyes slowly turning red.

Xu Wangqiu said in surprise: "Su Bai, what's wrong with you?"

Su Bai stared into his eyes: "You are in Xiangjiang, have you met a Kuomintang killer?"

Xu Wangqiu knew that if this matter was to be placed ten years ago, the domestic media would definitely report it on a large scale, bitterly criticizing the Kuomintang reactionaries for carrying out assassinations, and the real country proposed one country, two systems, hoping to have a peaceful dialogue with Taiwan, and this kind of thing would not be reported, but Su Bai was from the China News Service, and he would definitely not be able to hide it from her, so he said lightly: "I met a Kuomintang killer." They sent three killers to attack us, several comrades were wounded, but I didn't do anything at all. ”

Su Bai knew that Xu Wangqiu was pretending to be relaxed, his nose was sore, and tears were pouring out like a flood that burst the embankment. She hugged Xu Wangqiu and cried.

She has a tough personality, although she sometimes cries a lot when she watches those touching movies, but when she really encounters something, she is very strong and will not cry easily. After hearing the news that Xu Wangqiu was attacked by the Kuomintang and three people were shot, she didn't know how many times she cried.

Even if she later learned that Xu Wangqiu was fine, and it was someone else who was shot, her heart was always hanging. Who knows if the Kuomintang will do it again? She was so worried all day that she hardly slept peacefully.

She couldn't tell anyone else about these things, and she didn't want others to worry, so she could only carry it herself.

Now that Xu Wangqiu has returned safely, Su Bai doesn't want to do anything, so he hugs him and cries bitterly. Didn't Shu Ting say that instead of exhibiting on the cliff for a thousand years, it is better to cry on the shoulder of your lover for a night.

Xu Wangqiu didn't know what was going on, he looked at a loss, and said softly: "Su Bai, what's wrong?"

Su Bai sobbed and said: "When I heard that you were assassinated by the Kuomintang and three people were shot, I was really scared." I don't know if you've been shot, I'm so scared that I'm asking for news, but there's never been accurate information. It wasn't until later that Minister Wang told me that you were fine, that someone else had been shot. I'm not so afraid, but my heart has always been hanging, what if the Kuomintang doesn't succeed this time and continues to poison you? Once, I dreamed that you were killed, so I hugged you and cried, and I woke up crying. Wangqiu, do you know how worried I am about you? I've never been so scared. If you have any strengths and weaknesses, then I don't want to live......"

It was like being hit in the heart by a heavy punch, probably infected with the sadness in Su Bai's tone, Xu Wangqiu's heart felt a kind of torn pain, surging fiercely, and his eyes were wet all of a sudden: "This time I was too careless, and I worried you." I promise you that it will never happen again. ”

He patted Su Bai lightly on the back and said softly, "After the shooting, I have been thinking about what is most important to me. My answer is you, Dad, Mom, Wangbei and Big Brother are the most important. What grand ambitions and what history is not what I want most. My greatest wish is that my relatives are happy and safe, and I will not be separated from you. ”

Su Bai didn't speak, just hugged him tightly, as if there was no strength to make her let go.
