When the first snow came, Mei Wendian and Lin Yuefeng were reading in the room. When I got up in the morning, the sky was still gray, as if it was not lit up, and the snowflakes began to fall, one after another, at first it was still small, who knew that it was getting bigger and bigger, and it was getting bigger and bigger, and it became a cotton wool all over the sky.

On this day, Lin Yuefeng accompanied Mei Wendian to read Huxley's "Theory of Heavenly Evolution", this book was translated to China by Mr. Yan Fu in the early years, and the two read it all morning, Mei Wendian did not perform well in the morning, Lin Yuefeng punished him for not resting at noon, and after eating lunch, he directly dragged him over to continue studying.

Lin Yuefeng rolled up the book and explained to Mei Wendian, "I just said that the core concept in this book is 'natural selection, survival of the fittest', what does this mean 'natural selection, survival of the fittest'? That is to say, this is an era when the weak eat the strong and the strong are kings, if your strength is too weak, then there is a danger and possibility of being eliminated and defeated." ”

Mei Wendian didn't understand, he tilted his head and asked, "Why do you want to fight? Isn't it beautiful that everyone is peaceful and happy? The master also taught us to be humble, why is it different from what you said to you, sir?"

Lin Yuefeng pondered for a moment and asked, "Wendian, in your opinion, what is happiness?"

"Fathers are kind and filial to sons, brothers and friends are respectful, husbands and wives are harmonious, and children are in pairs. ”

Lin Yuefeng further guided, "Wendian, if you want to protect these, then you must become the fittest and become a strong man, otherwise these happiness will become dream bubbles." ”

"Why do you want to do this? Doesn't Confucianism value peace?"

"Wendian, you think so, but those who invade our country don't think so, many times, as a man, you can't choose comfort, but you have to stand up and shoulder the responsibility of defending your family and country......"

Before he finished speaking, Mei Wendian suddenly leaned on the windowsill on the side and jumped up with joy, "Sir, the snow is so big!"

Following Mei Wendian's gaze, when he saw the heavy snow falling outside the window, Lin Yuefeng couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

The snow began to fall in the morning, and it was noon, but I didn't expect that the whole world had turned into a white patch, and the vast world showed a kind of cleanness that could not bear to be blasphemed.

"Sir, can I go out to play in the snow?" Mei Wendian's hand tightly grasped the corner of Lin Yuefeng's clothes, his big eyes fluttering, waiting for his consent.

"Go ahead. Lin Yuefeng sighed, knowing that Mei Wendian was still a child after all, his mind was uncertain, and he was easily influenced by the outside world.

After getting the approval, Mei Wendian simply rushed outside, he waved his hands and shouted excitedly, "Wow! Lao Liu, come to have a snowball fight!"

Lin Yuefeng smiled and shook his head.

Over there, Xia Chun was embroidering sachets in the room, the plum blossoms were halfway embroidered, remembering the past, a little sad, suddenly heard a shout outside, and walked out of the room, to the corridor, watching Mei Wendian and a few servants in the yard rolling in the snow, the original boring mood was swept away, Xia Chun stretched out her hand, and the crystal hexagonal snowflakes fell on the palm of her hand, and after a while, the temperature of her palm melted.

Lin Yuefeng's voice came from behind him, "This year's snow is a little late." ”

As soon as Xia Chun turned around, a warm cloak was put behind him.

Warmly wrapped her entire body.

"Miss, I remember going to have a snowball fight, you liked to play the most when you were a child!"

Before Xia Chun could react, the whole person was pulled by the autumn cicada and lost her center of gravity, she was wearing a heavy cotton jacket, but now

In the distance, Xia Chun saw Lin Yuefeng standing in the corridor, alone, very lonely, Mei Wendian had a bad taste, grabbed a handful of snow on the ground, and smashed it at Lin Yuefeng.

"Good you stinky boy!"

Mei Wendian successfully aroused Lin Yuefeng's competitiveness, so Lin Yuefeng also joined in this chaotic snowball fight.

The snowy night was silent, and several people from the Mei family who had just played in the snow were crowded together in the hall, and there was no difference in generations, just around the small stove, Mei Wendian sat next to Xia Chun, baking his clothes against the fire, he was too naughty just now, and his body was full of snowflakes, Xia Chun was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he asked him to take off his coat and put it on his knees, and also bake on the fire, the red fire reflected on her face, and the whole face looked like a big apple with a red flutter.

Qiu Cicada brought a small table with a glass of wine, a pot of tea, and a glass of water on it.

The wine is for Lin Yuefeng, the millet wine brewed by Qiu Cicada herself, the tea is for a few adults, the tea of the Mei family, the water is for Mei Wendian, Lin Yuefeng said, Mei Wendian is a child, children can't drink, Xia Chun said, Mei Wendian is a child, and it is not suitable for children to drink tea.

Who made Lin Yuefeng and Xia Chun the most trusted people in this world? Although the child was reluctant, he still listened to these two.

Mei Wendian held his chin, raised the water glass in his hand, shook his head and said, "Green ant new brew wine, red clay small stove." Dear Teacher Lin, can I take a sip of wine?"

"Can't!" Lin Yuefeng and Xia Chun said almost in unison.

The people in the hall burst into laughter.

Xia Chun patted Mei Wendian's head and said earnestly, "It's all for your good, don't you often say that you want to be a real man in the future?

"Oh well. Mei Wendian lowered his head, licked his tongue, and looked at the wine glass in Lin Yuefeng's hand, the fire was red, and the air was filled with the aroma of a piece of rice wine, which was intoxicating.

The night was getting cooler, slowly, everyone left, Mei Wendian also felt sleepy, lying on Xia Chun's lap and slowly falling asleep, snoring evenly, sounding very sweet dreams.

Lin Yuefeng smashed a sip of wine, looked at Mei Wendian, and was not without envy, "This kid, he is really casual, he says that he wants to go to play in the snow, and he sleeps when he wants to sleep, he is still a child, he can do whatever he wants, and he doesn't have so many troubles......"

Mei Wendian seemed to hear it, her mouth moved, she flipped her body, and hugged Xia Chun again, her mouth wide open, looking like she was about to drool. Xia Chun took out the handkerchief, wiped off Mei Wendian's saliva, put his index finger between his lips at Lin Yuefeng, and sighed, signaling Lin Yuefeng to whisper.

Lin Yuefeng was speechless and took another sip of wine. There was another long silence, the same as the last time. It's just that this time there is another Mei Wendian between the two, lying in the middle, which is a little more embarrassing.

Xia Chun gently patted Mei Wendian's back, and after a while, Mei Wendian fell asleep in a daze, woke up, rubbed his eyes and stood up leisurely, "I'll go back to sleep." ”

Looking at his crooked appearance, Xia Chun instructed, "Go slowly." ”

Lin Yuefeng also stood up, "I'm hungry too, I'm going to the kitchen to find something to eat." ”

Xia Chun nodded, flipped Mei Wendian's coat on her knees, and continued to roast against the fire, the fire was warm, and her hands were quickly warmed.

Intermittently, she looked at the wine glass that Lin Yuefeng put down, and thought again.

When they met again, it was already 1934, and it was already a new world, as a man, he could ignore it, and he could laugh at her marriage, which seemed to be a joke, but she couldn't, Mei's family was her home, Mei Wendian was her heaven now, and she had her own commitments to keep.

Even if she saw Lin Yuefeng covered in blood in the woods, her heart was already beating suddenly, and she firmly understood that this kind of relationship was different from the two little guesses with Mei Wenzi in the past, and it was also different from the friendship between her and Mei Wendian like a brother and sister, but it was more like an inner impulse for no reason, and even sometimes, that impulse would suddenly hit in the middle of the night, and then make her toss and turn.

Love is like a little beast, rampage. But she couldn't let this little beast grow unchecked, she had to control it, hold it down, and let it be imprisoned in the cage of desire.

In the final analysis, it is because they are different, he will eventually leave, and she will protect the Mei family and find the ultimate secret of the tea recipe. We are all human beings, each with our own mission.

"Miss Xia, are you hungry......

Just thinking about it, Lin Yuefeng came over with a bowl of Yangchun noodles, the noodles were also covered with a poached egg, the egg was half-cooked, and it was very tempting.

Indeed, today is not only the first snow, but also her birthday. In the past, Mrs. May would cook her a bowl of longevity noodles at night, but now that Mrs. May has gone, she thinks that there are no more people in this world who remember her birthday.

Xia Chun took the noodles and chopsticks, and before she could eat them, tears fell down, she took out the handkerchief and gently wiped the tears.

The alcohol was bold, Lin Yuefeng didn't know where the courage came from, grabbed Xia Chun's hand, and said, "Miss Xia, in fact, I ......"

Xia Chun turned his gaze away, looked at the wine on the table, and interrupted him with a frown, "Your wine is gone, I'll go add some." ”

Xia Chun walked out quickly, no longer giving Lin Yuefeng a chance to speak.

"Chun'er ......"

In a hurry, Lin Yuefeng chased out, but he didn't see Xia Chun, but saw a person standing not far away, a thin and tall man, it was Mei Wendian.

It turned out that Mei Wendian had just walked out of the room, and found that his room key was missing, and he was probably lost in the snow, and he was about to come back to ask for Xia Chun, but he saw such a scene.

Lin Yuefeng grabbed Mei Wendian, "Wendian, have you seen your sister Xia Chun?"

Mei Wendian didn't let Lin Yuefeng go, but said arrogantly, "I don't allow you to go to see Sister Xia Chun, Sister Xia Chun belongs to me alone, and no one can snatch her." ”

Lin Yuefeng looked at Mei Wendian's more serious appearance, and the wine finally woke up.

"Okay, Xia Chun is yours, no one can rob you. ”
