A thick gray shrouded the sky, and as far as the eye could see, it was either gray or white, and the snow was falling heavily.

The northern cities are very cold, which can be seen in the surrounding scenery. Through the glass of the taxi, the old city walls along the way, the peeling red paint is covered in heavy snow, and the bare and lifeless branches lurk in the cold, and maybe it will be alive until the next season comes.

Pedestrians on the side of the road were wrapped in thick coats and masks by the gray lamp poles, and the snowflakes fell down, wetting their shoulders and collars in an instant. They hurried by, and there were passers-by who were lined up on the platform with briefcases and air-conditioning, and they looked behind the left and waited, waiting for the cold season to pass.

The lights dim during the season, and it's a city that's still sleeping.

"Young man, you're here to see your girlfriend, aren't you?" The driver, who spoke in an authentic Beijing accent, asked inadvertently, perhaps because Xiao Nan's eyes looked left and right from time to time and looked a little eager, and there was some excitement that could not be concealed.

Xiao Nan smiled, it shouldn't be counted.

"You're coming to Beijing for the first time? It's also a sin for this kind of weather, it's too cold. ”

"It's very warm to stay indoors in the north, but you can't stand it outside. Driving is a tiring job, and if I had studied harder, I wouldn't have driven a car and wandered around. I blame myself for not studying, I really want to make trouble. The driver's big brother opened the conversation box and was very talkative, "But at this age, I still have some regrets if I don't regret it, but do you always have to live?" Isn't it? ”

Xiao Nan in the back seat nodded.

"I have a wife and two children at home, the eldest one is about to go to high school, and the younger one is very naughty and mischievous like when I was a child. My wife said that these two little guys were sent by God to punish me, but of course this is a joke. My wife and children are hot on the kang, I am also content in this life, earn a few dollars to pay the children's tuition, if there is more, buy some cosmetics for my wife, women will always treat her well after you for the rest of their lives. Isn't your girlfriend pretty? Whether a woman is beautiful or not, the most important thing is that the person must be good, my family is ......"

The warm expression on the face of the driver's eldest brother seemed to bring warmth to this kind of city, and the snow outside the window was still flying, but the car gradually warmed up.

Naturally, this will not be the first time Xiao Nan has come to City B, the car drove into an alley and stopped at the gate of a courtyard.

The driver's eldest brother was surprised but didn't ask more, although the courtyard in front of him was a little dilapidated, but the geographical location was excellent and the area was large, and the price was naturally high. Xiao Nan got out of the car and walked straight in, and after hearing the movement, an old man walked out of the opposite room.

The old man was wearing glasses and was not angry, and when he saw Xiao Nan, his face became a little disdainful. He frowned, turned around and slammed the door shut, as if he didn't want to see Xiao Nan. The old man was called Uncle Fu, and he didn't know if it was the surname Fu or the word Fu in his name, he remembered that people called him that. A room in this courtyard is still half rented and half sold to him by the old man's son, the old man's son is a gambler, and he was very short of money at that time, so he met Xiao Nan by chance, and it is estimated that the old man regarded himself as his son's fox friend and dog friend, so he did not treat him from the beginning.

After being settled, Xiao Nan stood under the eaves and watched the snowflakes fall on the branches in the courtyard and then slide down from the branches and fall onto the white ground.

The snow in the north is not as wet as the snow in the south, and although the scene of heavy snow flying is spectacular, it is not easy to pile up some snow that makes a "kaka" sound like flour, let alone build a snowman. However, at this time, in another huge courtyard, when everything around was dyed white, a purple figure squatted on the edge of the steps, his hands were red from the cold, and the snowman was already a bulging half snowball in front of him.

She wore a brown brim, and her hairpins showed a small pinch on the side of her ear, but the delicate earlobes could not be completely hidden by the hat. From time to time, she cleared the snow around her and slapped it on the bulging hemisphere, and from time to time she put warm air in her mouth with her hands, but it didn't seem to do much. Her fingers were a little stiff, in stark contrast to the smile on her face, and she was happy to be building a snowman.

"Click." A bloated woman wrapped tightly in her coat walked by the flowerbed, staggering in the snow, cursing from time to time, apparently complaining about the weather. However, when he saw that there were some demons on the side of the steps, she was even more disgusted, just for her person.

"Ye Bai, are you sick, you think you are still a child on a cold day." The bloated woman who wore so many clothes looked even more bloated could only be Luo Ziqing, she reprimanded Ye Bai on the side of the steps and said.

"I've done what you asked me to do, and we don't owe each other anything in the future, so don't try to instruct me in the future." Luo Ziqing said with some resentment, "I checked the flight, and he has already come." ”

Ye Bai didn't react originally, but when he heard this, he raised his head and whispered, "Thank you." This made Luo Ziqing very unbearable, she had never heard Ye Bai say thank you to her. She felt a little disgusted, rolled her eyes, and muttered, "I see that you are sick, it is not worth it at all for such a man, I don't even know what is on your mind." And those old guys at home really don't take care of it? I can't care about you anyway, how do you like it, now get out of the way a little bit, I'm going to go into the house, I'm going to die cold. ”

Luo Ziqing passed past Ye Bai, still chanting words in his mouth, probably saying bad things about Xiao Nan again.

Ye Bai smiled, and the movements in his hands still did not stop.

In the evening, a snowman with an iron bucket on his head, a red scarf around his neck, and a carrot nose stood on the edge of the steps, quietly watching the snowflakes fall in the heavy snow outside the eaves, and the corners of his mouth were deliberately drawn with a very happy smile.

Under the eaves, two men, one old and one young, saw this conspicuous snowman at a casual glance.

"This girl really hasn't grown up yet." Ye Hongjian looked at his daughter's masterpiece with a smile and sighed, "Such a big snowman must have been piled up for a long time, and I didn't see her like snow so much when it snowed before, it's really weird." ”

The young man beside Ye Hongjian looks handsome, and he is Jin Zhan who came to Beijing to study together. When he heard Ye Hongjian say this, his eyes were uncertain, and he didn't speak until he spoke, "Uncle Ye, Xiao Nan is here." ”
