"My gift is asking for something back, so she must be having a headache about what to give me right now." Lin Yuhao imagined Chu Ning's appearance when he was entangled on the phone, and his mood improved for no reason.

"Brother, you are really not kind, how can you hear that you give gifts to others and ask for them in return, when did you become so stingy?" Lin Yuhan looked at his brother with disdain, and hugged Chu Ning upright.

Lin Yuhao smiled indifferently, but he was not in a hurry to defend himself.

"Brother, I always feel that the distance between me and Chu Ning seems to be getting more and more distant, especially after coming back this time, she always distances herself from me intentionally or unintentionally, I have a delusion, has it always been my wishful thinking, or that there is no relationship between us at all?"

"When did you become so unconfident? If you think about the bits and pieces you have been together for so many years, you should have enough confidence. ”

"Yes! We have a relationship foundation of more than 20 years, I should have confidence in myself, brother, thanks to your reminder! ”

When the two brothers walked slowly back to the river at the entrance of the village from the old house, it was already evening, the village was already full of smoke, and the people who had entered the city had begun to return one after another, their faces were full of harvest expressions, and the whole village was suddenly a little more lively.

"I don't spend much time in the countryside, but I didn't expect the enthusiasm of the people in the village to be undiminished!" Lin Yuhao looked at the simple and kind people and couldn't help but sigh.

"yes? Then remember to come back often! I heard my mother say that you rarely come back a few times a year. Lin Yuhan said.

"I should have come back more." Lin Yuhao said thoughtfully.

After Lin Yuhao's enlightenment, Lin Yuhan's mood became cheerful, he happily looked for a stone, and then observed the angle of the river. --Aim, and finally struck the pebbles into the river, and the pebbles and ice suddenly collided with a tuk, tuk, tuk.

"Brother, be pretty! When I was a child, I played very well, and if the river was not frozen, it would definitely splash a string of beautiful water. Lin Yuhan let out a bright smile, and he was even more energetic under the afterglow of the setting sun.

Lin Yuhao stared at his younger brother carefully, and suddenly felt a hundred kinds of feelings hit his heart, the younger brother who used to rely on him for everything had already grown up unconsciously with the passage of time, and he already had his own thoughts and opinions, thinking of this, he was a little disappointed.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Seeing that his brother was silent for a long time, just looking at him distractedly, Lin Yuhan couldn't help but ask.

"No, I was just thinking, what will Mom do tonight?"

"Really? Brother, you must be hungry! ”

"Of course! Is the stomach protesting? Lin Yuhao stroked his stomach and looked uncomfortable.

Immediately, on the banks of the Han River, where the sun was setting and the cold was still pressing, the intimate and hearty laughter of the two brothers was heard.

Since Chinese New Year's Eve, Chu Ning has not practiced the piano for several days, the weather is too cold, she almost stays at home during the day, most of the nest in the quilt to read books, listen to music, may be too lazy during the day, so at night often toss and turn, difficult to sleep.

Tonight, as usual, she had been tossing and turning in bed for a long time, and not only did she not feel sleepy, but her mind became more and more clear, and after a few rounds of repeating this, she simply wrapped herself in a rice dumpling with her head attached.

But it didn't take long for her to poke her head out again, because the heavy quilt was rolling her out of breath, and the electric blanket that her father specially prepared for her was warm enough, but her mother was still afraid that she would be cold, so she added a blanket to the original bedding, so for her parents' 'triple insurance' of bedding, electric blanket, and blanket, she was about to suffocate.

She simply got up and tossed the blanket aside, then turned on the lamp, looked at the alarm clock on the table, and found that it was only nine o'clock. At this time at school, the students are either still chatting in the dormitory, or they go out in groups to go crazy all night, maybe this is the difference between the big city and the country!

Thinking that it was still early, she looked at the landline on the bedside table, hesitated for a few seconds, and then as if she made up her mind, she picked up the phone notebook and rummaged through it, then picked up the microphone and dialed a series of numbers.

"Toot-toot-" There were only two sounds from the other side, and someone picked it up.

"Hello!" A deep male voice came over the phone.

Chu Ning was startled by this voice, and after she confirmed her phone number again, she regretted her recklessness.

"Hello--! me, I'm Chu Ning, Virgin's classmate, I'm sorry for making noise to you so late!"

"Hello! I'm Virgin's brother. ”

"Oh! Mr. Fang, I'm really sorry to disturb your rest. Chu Ning heard that the other party's voice was a little lazy, presumably she was woken up by herself while she was asleep, and she regretted her rash behavior again.

"It's okay! It's still early. ”

"So, excuse me, is Virgin already resting?" Chu Ning had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"Probably not, you wait a minute, I'll transfer you to her room." After the other party finished speaking, he heard the sound of phone switching.

It didn't take long for Fang Weizhen's voice to come out.

"Chu Ning, I'm really happy to hear your voice, I thought you wouldn't call me?"

"Virgin, am I very—disturbing your family?" Chu Ning's annoyed voice came in.

"Where will it be? Now my brother and I are at home, and even the housekeeper Aunt Yang has rested, let's talk! You must be missing me, right? Fang Weizhen quipped.

"Yes, but it's not that serious, the main thing is that I can't sleep these days, my bed is made three layers inside and outside by my parents, and I can't move like a wrapped zongzi when I sleep on it, and I'm about to get stuffy, so I want to chat with you, and I want to vent."

"It's really unfair, the same children, why is there such a big difference in the treatment they enjoy? As soon as you come home, your parents will circle around you, and it will become a pearl in the palm of your hand in an instant. And me! Every time I get home, I can't even see a single shadow, my parents are busy all day, and finally come across the weekend, and a lot of entertainment, this is not tonight until now! Fang Weizhen looked a little frustrated.

"Virgin, I think parents are all the same, but their identities and statuses are relatively different, so the care they express for their children will be different."

"Let's put that out of the way! Chu Ning, let's talk about other happy things! For example, what are you doing this winter vacation? ”

"I don't have anything to do, I don't dare to get up in the bed during the day, so I haven't practiced for several days."

"I'm much more fulfilling than you, in addition to my uncle's house, I can also go to 'Shen Garden' to play with the children, 'Shen Garden' is the orphanage built by my mother, where there are many children."

"When I was at school, I heard you mention that your mother is so good, she takes care of such a big orphanage, um! I think your whole family is pretty good. ”

"Why didn't I hear that you were praising me in disguise? Or is it hurting me? ”

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just really envious of you!"

"I know, I don't know you yet? I miss the time when I was at school, and I didn't have so much fun at night. ”

"Virgin, have you ever seen snow in the countryside? It's really beautiful, not far from our village, there is a big forest, there are a lot of evergreens and pines and cypresses in the woods, every year when the snow falls, I will go to the evergreen forest with my 'gold medal harmony' Lin Yuhan to practice and chase in the snow. Only then do I feel that the snow is no longer so cold. You can take the time to come to Y City, and I'll take you to enjoy the snow! ”

"Hmmm! It sounds beautiful, and if I have the chance, I will definitely go to Y City to see it. Fang Weizhen's eyes were full of hope.

"You said you were going to come to my house before the winter vacation, and now that the vacation is almost over, you haven't seen your eldest lady of the Fang family coming?"

"Am I not supporting the work of our dean mother? Besides, it's a long time coming! The Han River in Y City, the evergreen forest in Y City, the snow scene in Y City, and the 'Gold Medal Harmony' in Y City sound so beautiful and beautiful, I think I must go to a wall of style, how can any good things be taken up by you. ”

"Then I'm looking forward to your coming to Y City." On a whim, the two girls chatted for more than half an hour before they hung up the phone.

It's a pity that during the Spring Festival this year, Fang Weizhen finally didn't get the consent of her father Fang Zhenghao, and finally didn't come to Y City to spend a limited vacation with Chu Ning as she wished, so the two girls regretted it for several days.

After the Spring Festival, office workers quickly devoted themselves to intense work, and Lin Yuhao was busy finalizing the work exhibition, so he returned to Jiangcheng on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

The students are also about to usher in the beginning of the school season, and Lin Yuhan has been busy talking goodbye to his childhood friends these days, so he is busy every day, until the eve of returning to school, he still shows up at the Chu family.

Ye Mei specially prepared a sumptuous dinner for him, and at the dinner table, Chu Tianxing also poured him a small glass of yellow rice wine in a good mood.

However, as soon as the wine was poured halfway, Ye Mei snatched the wine bottle in her hand and said, "Tianxing, Yuhan's body is poor, and he can't drink wine." ”

"Look! As soon as I was happy, I forgot about it, so I ate the vegetables, and come, and eat more. Chu Tianxing pointed to the dishes on the table, and kept sandwiching them for Lin Yuhan.

"It's okay! Auntie, seeing that my uncle is in a good mood, I also want to drink a little with him. After Lin Yuhan finished speaking, he took the wine bottle from Ye Mei's hand, continued to pour wine into the cup in front of him, and then raised his glass and said:

"I'm leaving, I must have had a chance to drink with you after another semester, so I must accompany you to have a few more drinks today." Lin Yuhan looked at the wine in the glass, and suddenly became a little sad, as if he was gone, and he didn't know when he would meet again.
