In the Bailongmiao community of Laojie, the weather is a little gloomy.

Cheng's mother is cooking in the kitchen, Cheng's father is watching TV on the sofa, he is the director of the company, there is nothing big, he only needs to clock in at the company in the morning. Show up and make a round and come back to rest.

Cheng Ying just came back from the bookstore, slapped off a snowstorm in front of the mirror at the door, took off her coat and came in, and complained that she encountered a light snow when she went out today, and she knew that she should have brought an umbrella to go out.

In the quiet study, Cheng Xi turned his back to the door.

The ponytail shook gently behind her head, she was wearing a red down jacket, winter jeans wrapped her slender legs, her slender body was wrapped in a bloated down jacket, and the original infinitely beautiful silhouette could only see a faint shadow, but the inner elegance and tranquility could be revealed, faint, like a slight breeze.

She is concentrating on practicing calligraphy, pressing the paper with her left hand, holding the pen with her right hand cantilevered, writing at will, the pen walks the dragon and snake, and the paper falls like a cloud of smoke.

Cheng Ying walked in gently, without making a sound, she stood on the side to observe, her soft lips moved slightly, and she read carefully, "I give a jar of wine, call it a drunken dream and die, don't brew is the scene of ten years." Since thanking the spring breeze, a hurry, Konoha came late, laughter and other autumn, the blind guest is suspicious, drunk in the summer night and winter. But I don't see it, the footprints leave traces, the blue sea path is unique, the sun is full of purple flutes, the reckless heart of the forest, and the smoke is less deceitful. Pegasus, swordsman, desert, returning to Dugu's hat, the light and shadow are quiet, and the dazed fall is light. ”

Cheng Xi writes very quickly, as if he has a model in his heart, and his pen is like a god.

Cheng Ying read silently word by word, waited for her to wash the brush and inkstone, put the rice paper in a clean place and wait for it to dry, and turned around calmly, "When did you come?"

"I'll be here while you're writing. Cheng Ying brought her a cup of hot tea. smiled slightly: "It's been a long time since I've seen you practice calligraphy." ”

Cheng Xi gently moved his wrist and said "um", "I haven't written it for a long time, I'm worried that my hands are rusty." ”

"Oh, by the way, Fang Ning's kid hasn't been looking for you recently?" asked Cheng Ying.

"What is he looking for me?" Cheng Xi frowned slightly.

Cheng Ying waved her hand and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, I have something to find him." ”

Cheng Xi glanced at her sister a little strangely, but still said, "I basically haven't talked to him during the winter vacation, but I have his QQ contact information, you can go and talk about it." ”

"I can't talk about this. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I want him to help me teach a boy, you don't have a very good relationship with him, so I asked you to help. Cheng Ying also glanced at her ambiguously when she spoke, she was all from the past, and she knew everything at a glance, but unfortunately this flattering eye was thrown to the blind man.

Cheng Xi was indifferent, and said lightly: "You don't need to call others to come to this matter, I'll just go." ”

Cheng Ying wiped her sweat, of course she knew that her sister looked quiet and fairy, but in essence, she was a violent girl, under normal circumstances, she used reason to persuade others, and when the reason could not be explained, there was only one way left.

"You're a girl's family, don't always fight and kill, leave this kind of rough work to the boys, and besides, you're too conspicuous, others know that you are my sister. ”

Cheng Xi glanced at her, "I'm very ladylike." ”

Cheng Ying: "......"

Fang Ning was very surprised that Cheng Xi, who had rarely spoken on QQ, actually sent him a message, which made him surprised and a little curious.

Cheng Xi explained her intention directly, and after chatting for a while, the words she typed were obviously more, and there was a hint of politeness in her familiar tone, Fang Ning didn't have to think about it, it must be her sister Cheng Ying.

"It's winter vacation, and it's a hassle to find that person, so it's better to wait until the beginning of spring next year. Fang Ning pondered and replied.

There was silence for a while, and only after a half ring came back a message, "Okay." ”

Fang Ning pinched his ears, looking at this, Sister Cheng Ying was not satisfied with her answer.

On Cheng Ying's side, she grinded her teeth and was a little angry, "Fang Ning is really unhappy to do things, if you wait for the spring next year, you still need to call her?"

Cheng Xi is calm and relaxed, he knows Fang Ning's character very well, he will not be rash, he will be strong, and he will do things purposefully. Besides, if her sister said a few words, Fang Ning would agree to this matter without principle, then she really felt that he would be like this.

"I have some stomach pain. Cheng Ying gritted her teeth.

"I'm going to find Huoxiang Zhengqi Water. ”

"I'm!"

"Oh. ”

Cheng Xi's face remained unchanged, and his tone was light, "It's good." ”

Cheng Ying was unbalanced, and she wanted to get more and more angry, "Who are you heading for?"

"Whoever has a point, I will go to whomever I want. ”

……

The days of winter vacation are over in the blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching, and the town is lively.

People who have been working outside for a year are also preparing to go home, and the annual Spring Festival is about to come with a bang.

The old street is much more lively than in the past, the streets and alleys are full of people who buy New Year's goods, many acquaintances meet on the street, greet each other, "Hey you also come to buy New Year's goods?" "Haha, isn't it almost the New Year, I want my children to come back this year, and there is a hope for the New Year, so I came to the street to buy New Year's goods." "Lao Zhang, your New Year's sugar price is expensive, I know that the sugar in Qingshi Lane is delicious and cheap, let's go, I'll take you there!" ......

The streets are full of people like this, accustomed to it.

Fang Ning's family also came to Lao Cai to purchase New Year's goods.

Due to the congestion of the old street to the point that it is basically stuck, it is difficult for private cars to walk in the old street, Fang Ning's family did not borrow a car, they all relied on the bus to come, and they got off at Minjian Road.

With the arrival of deep winter, there was a general low temperature in the south, and Fang Ning and the others had already changed into thick down jackets, which looked a little bloated, but at least they were comfortable and warm.

Fang Wei was even more afraid of the cold, wrapping himself in a group, wearing plush gloves on his hands, a white scarf around his neck, and a hat that came with his down jacket, looking like the Akismos in the Arctic. She kept blowing hot air, the heat gradually lost in her body, the toes in her shoes were frozen to the point that she almost didn't have any instincts, and there was only one thought, which was to hurry home and bake the fire.

"I bought the New Year's goods early, let's go home, I think my whole body has become a popsicle, brother, you bite my arm and try it, see if it freezes into a popsicle?" Fang Wei thought slightly.

"I don't know if it's frozen into a popsicle, but my toes are already popsicles. "Fang Ning's shoes are fine, but the socks are not plush, so they can't retain heat at all.

Grandpa looked at the congested street and sighed, "It seems that it is impossible to go home before lunch today." ”

Fang Ning and Fang Wei looked at each other and wailed in unison: "I'm going to die!"

Today's purchase of New Year's goods is mainly close to the end of the year to eat vegetables and meat, as well as fresh fish and shrimp, and then there are fruits, biscuits, candy and other New Year's goods, as for firecrackers and fireworks, because of a series of banning fireworks issued by the Pinghai County Government, the business is relatively deserted, people living in the county are not so obvious to grow up to buy fireworks, most of them are people in the countryside, buy back fireworks, no one knows.

Some people say that the Chinese festival is to set off fireworks, a picture of a festive red fire, and then there is the traditional custom passed down from generation to generation, the New Year does not set off firecrackers and fireworks, always feel that the taste of the year is much lighter, so in private there are still a small number of people secretly buy fireworks.

Fang Ning's family also bought some fireworks and put them in the warehouse at home, and they will come back to release them during the Chinese New Year.
