The thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when relatives and friends gather, should be the most lively day of the year, but in the riverside garden community, a family does not seem friendly.

The home is silent, and there are no ornaments that should be there for the New Year, so it is a little deserted.

It is worth mentioning that on the occasion of this new year, Jiangling City ushered in the first snow of the year, and the weather was very cold as early as a few days ago, which seemed to be preparing for this day in advance.

In the early morning, the woman put on a long down jacket, still with smoky gray wavy hair, but the difference was that she added a fashionable knitted hat on her head, and did not wear glasses because of the weather.

She wore a mask on her face, hiding all her face below her eyes, and wrapped a plush scarf around her neck, which slightly covered her chin.

Dressed neatly, she went out for the first time on this New Year morning.

This year is undoubtedly the most beautiful year for Liu Man, buying a house in the city, bringing his parents and younger brother from the countryside to the new house, and the family of four is celebrating the New Year in the city for the first time.

I originally wanted to go to the restaurant for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at night, but Liu's mother and Liu's father have always been frugal and old-fashioned, and resolutely do not go to the restaurant, where is there a reason to go out for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

No way, since you eat at home, you have to go grocery shopping, and it can't be late, you must go in the morning, otherwise some things may not be bought.

Early in the morning, Liu Man, who was dressed beautifully, took his teenage brother and Liu's mother to the street to buy vegetables.

However, just as she was about to go downstairs to wait for the elevator, a woman suddenly appeared and caught her attention.

Just a glance, the figure seemed to have a magnetic force, making it difficult for her to leave her gaze.

Although it is covered by masks and scarves, the perfect silhouette is real, and I believe that the face hidden behind the curtain is absolutely extraordinary.

Especially her eyes that are as vast as stars are deep and clear, like a magical power, which invisibly makes people trapped in them and cannot extricate themselves.

"Please come in. ”

I don't know when the elevator door opened, and Liu Man, who was standing in front of her, was stunned for a moment, and she didn't come back to her senses until the woman politely stretched out her hand to signal.

Nodding lightly, he glanced at the elegant and calm woman again, and then walked in with Liu's mother and younger brother.

At the entrance of the community, I stopped by the woman all the way, and I also observed her for a long time. A dress may not be as outstanding as her, but the calm and elegant temperament shown in her gestures makes her ashamed of herself, and a sense of inferiority involuntarily emerges in her heart.

This is also the first time, without a light identity, without comparison, just by virtue of her external characteristics and personal charm, she is ashamed of herself.

When I woke up, I had a sense of "suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms".

Simply dressed, walked to the window, looked at the white outside downstairs, the mood did not stand a few points, after a few years, this year can be regarded as snowing.

When I walked out of the room, I saw Zhong Ruoyan sitting on the sofa with the electric oven on. Because of the cold weather, it is useless to turn on the air conditioner, so it is necessary to bake a layer of fire.

Qu Jinyan went straight to wash, and depending on the situation, Aunt Qu Chunhua and Father Zhong estimated that they had gone out to buy something, and Zhong Ruoyan was an idler at home.

After the incident, he, like Zhong Ruoyan, sat on the sofa, put his hand into the electric fire, and watched TV casually.

"Woke up so early today?"

"Do you think I want to, I was dragged out by my mother early in the morning to carry New Year's goods to her, and I was cold to death. ”

"Isn't it snowing, isn't it fun?"

The two sat together, Zhong Ruoyan peeled the melon seeds, and said disdainfully: "What's so new about snow, I've been tired of going to the north before." ”

"Now, today's New Year, are there any activities, how about taking me to a movie?"

Qu Jinyan glanced at her, thinking back to the time when he went home, Zhong Ruoyan changed the law all day long and wanted to treat him as a wronged leader, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny.

"It's such a cold day, look at your size, and besides, there will be a New Year's card tomorrow, and there is nothing to see today. ”

"Then how about we go shopping?" she then hesitated for a moment, and said flatteringly: "Look, this is the New Year, you are an elder brother, why do you have to buy beautiful clothes for my sister, right?"

"Ouch!"

As soon as she said that, a large hand slapped on the back of her head.

"It's beautiful, Mu Weilin has already bought you two sets of clothes before, and a few days ago when I was shopping, I pulled me to buy you another set, it's not enough to wear?

Oh, if you want to buy something, brother, I'm so enthusiastic, and when I'm fine, I scream in my mouth, you treat me as a big wrongdoer?"

"Well, it used to be a joke. ”

Qu Jinyan ignored her, and pressed the remote control by himself, changing the channel.

Seeing this, Zhong Ruoyan had a flash of inspiration, and the next moment her mouth pursed out dissatisfiedly, a little resentful, "Na, since this doesn't work, then you tell me why I didn't run in the café that afternoon, and where I went the next day, it's all right?"

Lingling Avenue, Tianmen Cemetery.

The snow is falling, covered in silver, the sky and the earth are vast, and the snowflakes never stop, such as goose feathers and catkins falling from the sky.

A taxi stops on the desolate side of the road and then leaves in a hurry, creating a beautiful scenery on the side of the road.

There was nowhere to hide from the snowflakes in the sky, and in a short time the figure became more white, and the hair, shoulders, hat, and coat seemed to be wrapped in a thin layer of silver frost, and it was beautiful.

Standing in the snow in the cold wind, her hair fluttering wildly, looking at the intersection to the cemetery in front of her, she exhaled a breath of hot air that was clearly visible, and then walked forward.

The cemetery is specially managed, and Qu Jinyan resolutely spent 10,000 yuan to buy a place here to bury Gao's mother when he was not rich.

At the gate, there was a flat house, and the woman knew that this was where the staff of the cemetery usually lived.

However, what surprised her was that in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, she did not expect that there were still people here, and she saw an uncle about sixty or seventy years old pouring water outside with a basin.

The uncle was also stunned, he didn't expect someone to come to the cemetery for the New Year. The woman nodded politely at him, and he nodded in response.

According to the location in her memory, even if there were many traces hidden under the heavy snow, the woman still accurately found the destination she was traveling today.

"Mom! my daughter is not filial and can't come to visit you often!"

"Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, my daughter wishes you a happy New Year in advance, and I will take time to visit you every year in the future." ”

"Although I have been abroad all these years, I have sometimes inquired about Yiling's news, she went to Tianda University, and it is also a famous school, which is very powerful. ”

The snow was falling, and the woman was in front of the tomb, whispering alone, until the old man she had met at the door passed not far away.

The old man seemed to be on his daily patrol, walking by in rows, and sometimes wiping the heavy snowdrifts on the tombstones with his hands.

As expected, layer by layer, the old man walked up to the place where the woman was.

If there was no one around, the old man wore gloves and gently wiped the falling snowflakes with his hands, and when he came to the woman's side, he was surprisingly bent down and smoothed the snowdrift in front of the tomb with all his dedication.

"Thank you!"

The old man got up, and the woman bent down and bowed her head in gratitude.

The man was a little strange, did not answer, turned his back, waved his hand casually in the heavy snow, and then did his work meticulously.

As the figure faded away, the woman slowly withdrew her gaze, and when she looked at the tombstone in front of her again, her expression was not slightly moved.

The open space in front of the tombstone, after the old man cleaned it up just now, has revealed a snow-free cement floor, and on the cement floor, without the cover of snow, a picture album has been revealed.

Bent over to pick it up, and the first page she opened was a little green Gao Yiling who came into her eyes. The photo was taken about three years ago, with the Tianzhou City Railway Station in the background, and she made scissor hand gestures and showed a sweet smile.

Turning the next page, it is the opening ceremony of Tianzhou University, and her figure is impressive.

After that, there were photos of his birthday and a visit to the zoo, recording Gao Yiling's life in the past three years.

Turning the pages one by one, the woman slowly showed her relief, as if she had seen all the bits and pieces of Gao Yiling in the past three years, and had the illusion of being integrated into it, as if she had been living together all along.

Slowly, there was not much left, and when she couldn't wait to turn to the last page, it made her stunned. Because this last page is not a photo, but a piece of paper folded together, and it is well protected, and it is sandwiched in a quarantine bag.

It was taken out, spread out layer by layer, and when all of it was opened, it was unexpectedly large, and at a glance it was a colorless sketch portrait.

When I looked closely, I found that it was a pair of sketches of men and women, who were dependent on each other, with affection, with the ancient city as the background, lifelike.

The men and women in the painting are known by themselves, the men are condescending, and the women are herself.

Looking at the portrait, my heart was full of mixed feelings, and an indescribable emotion suddenly surged into my heart, and my eyes were red.

This was nothing, when she saw the two portraits, with the words "Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son", and a child painted in the middle of the two of them, her tears suddenly wet her cheeks like a dam bursting the embankment.
