Chapter 068: Snowflake
Chen Chi just drank a sip of tea into his mouth, and when he saw this, he was stunned for half a second before swallowing the tea, not knowing if it was tea or the title that Gu Siya came up with when he said to himself. He laughed and scolded in his heart: "This little girl." ”
Gu Siya waited blankly, but Chen Chi still avoided talking about it, and only gave her a sentence lightly: "Worry about your own studies first." ”
Gu Siya couldn't ask about the situation, so she had no choice but to give up. Chen Wu is so virtuous, he doesn't want to say things that want to get a trace of air out of his mouth. However, Gu Siya still has gains, according to her understanding of Chen Wu, what if she makes fun of her sister-in-law coldly, if there is really no shadow, Chen Wu would have scolded her for being nonsense. But he gently maintains an evasive attitude, which speaks for itself.
Gu Siya is not in the era when parents across the country strictly prevent early love, and now the background of the times has a lot of understanding and support for the emotional experience of school students. Besides, she is in college, even if she has no experience, she can piece together some wise truths after listening to more stories.
Chen Wu's cousin xiàn belongs to the period of strict protection of his girlfriend behind him. The purpose is to isolate oneself from worldly troubles and concentrate on consolidating feelings.
Gu Siya laughed secretly in her heart, Chen Wu had a weakness from now on. He avoided the inquiry twice, but refused to say no directly, and with his eloquence, he refused to even give a random answer with a smile, and it can be imagined that he was doing it seriously.
In December, Christmas is approaching, and the winter solstice is coming.
The day before the winter solstice, Chen Chi had a lot of things in mind. He goes online every day and communicates with Xu Shuangchuan. This period of time is very painful, the two places are separated, the more serious the longing, fortunately it is about to be the Christmas holiday, they recently began to discuss whether Chen Chi came to see Xu Shuang, or Xu Shuangchuan to see Chen Chi.
However, he had something to do at noon today, so he didn't stay at school and went back to the apartment first.
After he entered the house, he took off his coat, threw it on the bed, turned on the induction cooker, added water to the pot, and opened a packet of macaroni and set it aside.
The phone is dialed back home.
"Uncle. ”
The person on the other end of the phone was obviously very surprised, and it took a few seconds to react: "Oh, Chi Yanzi, why are you calling at this time." ”
"Uncle, tomorrow is the winter solstice. Chen Chi subconsciously looked in the direction of the stainless steel pot and explained. He rarely called his uncle, so his tone was extraordinarily respectful, but he still shed a hint of sadness.
"Ah, uncle knows, your mother has already told me. Chi Yanzi, what are you buying for us, it's not easy for you to be abroad yourself. Uncle will not forget, I bought a piece of paper money in your name, and tomorrow I will burn it for your grandmother with your letter, and she will receive it underground. ”
Chen Chi listened silently and said softly, "Thank you, uncle." ”
"What did you say, thank you, my uncle knows that you are far away, you just have a heart, you don't have to worry about these things. Your grandmother said when she was alive that Chi Lingzi was out and flew high, and she would only be happy when she knew that you remembered her. ”
"Hmm. Chen Chi wanted to say a few more words, but his throat tightened.
"Chi Yanzi, are you okay outside? Uncle will also put it on the grave for your grandmother tomorrow, so that she likes it." ”
“…… I am fine. Chen Chi took a breath, pulled away a smile, and told his uncle some interesting things about his life.
He put down his phone and sat quietly for a while.
The room was silent.
The water in the pot gurgled and splashed hot water droplets onto the inside of the glass lid, and the hot water vapor scrambled out of the air outlet on the lid, forming a column of smoke. The glass lid was even pinched a little popping.
After a long time, Chen Chi realized that water was boiling on the stove, so he quickly got up and walked over to see that the water in the pot had been boiled to less than one-third, so he picked up the pot and took a small half pot of cold water under the faucet.
Before the water was lukewarm, he sprinkled half a packet of macaroni directly into it.
In the afternoon, Chen Chi and Xu Shuangchuan communicated online.
"It's snowing. Xu Shuangchuan wrote.
Chen Chi hurriedly glanced out the window, the weather was gloomy, but there were no snowflakes.
"I don't have it here, is there a lot of snow over there?" he asked.
"It's just a little bit, it falls on the back of the hand, and it will turn into water in a while. ”
Chen Chi couldn't help but bend his lips: "Have you gone out to play in the snow?"
"It's not cold, how to play with such a little bit of snow, just a glance. Several of my classmates, who had never seen snow, were crazy with joy, all outside. ”
"Frostfall is the one who has seen snow. Chen Chi teased.
"Of course, although I don't see it every year, I always see it. ”
The faint sense of pride between the lines of Xu Shuang's words is very cute and childish in Chen Chi's opinion. He smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Don't say more today, go back now, otherwise the road will be slippery due to heavy snow later, and remember to slow down on the road tomorrow." ”
Xu Shuangchuan was really worried that it would be difficult to walk in the dark and snow, so he agreed, and after hurriedly consulting some information, he packed his backpack and went back. Outside the school building, Alberto, Nelly, Anne, and even Ali were there, and the surprise on their faces still hadn't faded.
"Hey, Xu, enjoy this snow. Enthusiastic Alberto shouted over.
Xu Shuangchuan waved with them, rode on the car, walked for a while, and gradually fell into his clothes with snowflakes. The road was covered in a thin layer, but not white enough, sparsely pale white, and the wheels rolled over, leaving a rut mark that revealed the red underside of the bike lane, and then snow unhurriedly covered it.
There was not a trace of wind, there was silence between heaven and earth, and the snow fell so melodiously.
Frost falls through the misty snowflakes. She hadn't really seen snow many times, so she couldn't help but be interested, pulled down her hood, simply exposed her head and face, and went back against the snow all the way.
"Oh, the snowman is back. Afia exclaimed.
"I rode so fast that I was afraid that the snow on my head would melt. Xu Shuangchuan was also very excited. She stood outside the apartment door, didn't go in first, brushed her hair, stomped her feet, took off the backpack behind her, and slapped it hard.
Xian heard the movement, walked out of the kitchen, looked at the snowflakes outside the door, and chirped equally happily: "I hope the snow is bigger, and it is bigger." ”
"You girls......" Nick chatted with Matthews as he walked to the kitchen, shaking his head sideways at the group of girls inside and outside the door.
Matthews smiled kindly, but with the same look in his eyes as Nick, he was amused that they were so interested.
Xu Shuangchuan could understand that when she looked at Alberto and the others before, she also felt that they were making a fuss. She couldn't help but laugh secretly, a mountain is even higher, and she, a person who doesn't often see snow, can't understand the noisy posture of those who have never seen snow. Now it's Nick and Matthews, who can always see snow, and they can't understand her rarity with snow.
That night, she opened the window, put her legs and feet against the radiator under the window, baked it warm, and stood by the window for five minutes to admire. The yellow light in the house shined out, shining into the large snowflakes outside, and the pine tree downstairs had already held up a layer of pure white on the branches, if it was hung with colored lights, it would be a big Christmas tree.
The snow was blowing heavily, and the night was so peaceful.
Xu Shuangchuan was very happy, she and Chen Chi were about to meet.
At this time, Chen Chi walked quickly in the alley, the surroundings were very quiet, almost no one was there, the blue brick pavement was glowing with a cold and cold dark light in the small area illuminated by the street lamp, and along the street lamp, you could see the alley meandering all the way into the deep night. He has no fear, this is the way he is used to walking.
The sky above the alley was pitch black, and the streetlights weren't bright enough to illuminate the thick clouds in mid-air, but the oppressive shade was a sign that the weather was bad. Chen Chi cocked his collar and walked against the wall, the exterior walls of the buildings on both sides of the alley looked like only large blocks of erected shadows, adding to the dull loneliness in the cold wind, and only the light from the sporadic windows made people feel slightly warm.
Chen Chi looked up at the sky in front of the apartment, frowning and worried, Xu Shuang didn't know what the snow was falling there, it would probably be cold to her tomorrow, and the road would be slippery.
He didn't care about cooking, but it was still macaroni that coped with things. At eleven o'clock in the evening, he had not yet slept.
Chen Chi lay on the bed, silently calculating the time. His uncle used to get up early, and it was time to get up, and in another hour or two, his uncle would go to the fruit grove in Houpo with the offerings to go to his grandmother's grave.
Chen Chi wanted to call again, but after all, he was afraid that he would disturb his uncle early in the morning. He closed his eyes, and time passed through his mind.
