"But I didn't have any gifts, so what should I do?" Chu Ning said apologetically.

"Let me think, why don't I tell you what I like one day?" Lin Yuhao said briskly.

"That's the only way to go, if you like the right one, you'll have to tell me." Chu Ning was a little lacking in confidence, she quickly looked at the piggy bank on the bedside table, imagining what kind of gift Lin Yuhao would like.

"Hmmm! It doesn't have to be expensive, I just like it. Lin Yuhao seemed to know Chu Ning's thoughts, and added in time.

"Well--, then! Is there anything else that Brother Yu Hao has to do? ”

"By the way, the scarf is very large and can be used as a shawl when opened." Lin Yuhao reminded again.

"It's really applicable, then I'm hanging."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Ning felt that her cheeks were hot, and her heart began to beat at some point. She closed her eyes and recalled every detail of the phone call with Lin Yuhao just now, and suddenly felt a little ashamed.

She couldn't remember how long it was, he and Lin Yuhao talked without any pressure, even Lin Yuhao felt cramped every time she went to pick her up.

She can't deny that sometimes, she is indeed trying her best to avoid contact with Lin Yuhao, because she feels that Lin Yuhao also seems to be avoiding her intentionally or unintentionally, this feeling seems to have lasted for many years, which makes Chu Ning puzzled, she sometimes wants to rush forward to question Lin Yuhao, but she is more afraid that her intuition is wrong, and it will be more embarrassing to meet in the future, so the only thing she can do is to go with the flow......

After a few days of melting the snow-covered land, the land has gradually returned to its original appearance. However, on the village road, you can also see some potholes, vaguely left piles of snow that have not yet melted, and the snow water drips from the roof into the eaves of the houses when the snow melts, so that the edges of the eaves are neatly arranged into strings of large and small icicles, and if you stand under the eaves, you will feel like you are in the world of ice country.

However, the icicles have gradually begun to melt in the sunlight, dripping on the glass windows of the houses, making a ticking, rhythmic sound.

There is still a thick layer of ice in the Hangang River at the entrance of the village, and through the ice, you can vaguely see schools of fish swimming happily in the water under the ice.

Lin Yuhao slowly paced along the river embankment with a lonely expression, and the people in the village who went out to visit the door or go to the market kept passing by him, greeting him warmly, and saying some words of New Year's wishes. He couldn't help but be infected by people's enthusiasm, and his mood suddenly brightened.

After walking for a short time, his eyes fell on a red brick house at the head of the village, and he hesitated for a few seconds, then moved his steps again and walked towards the house.

The area of the house is not large, about 50 tsubo, the outer walls are not painted, probably due to the long years of sun and rain, the red bricks are covered with green moss, the roof is covered with black tiles, the eaves extend about a meter forward, just facing the edge of the corridor in front of the house, and there are two pillars made of trees in front of the house to support the front beam. Although the house looks a little old, the front and back of the house are neat and clean.

Lin Yuhao chose a clean place in the corridor and sat down, he looked in the direction of the Hanjiang River from this perspective, and could clearly see the evergreen forest and pine and cypress trees in the distance, and even a little farther away,-- the place where his father Lin Yuting was resting, although it was not very clear, but he could see it all.

"Brother--" I don't know when, Lin Yuhan appeared in front of Lin Yuhao.

"Yu Han--, why did you come here too?" Lin Yuhao looked at his younger brother in surprise, he remembered that Yuhan didn't like this place very much, so he rarely came.

"You and your mother are not at home, I am bored and panicked alone, so I want to come out to breathe, who knows that I came here after walking. Brother, have you encountered something unhappy again? Lin Yuhan sat down next to his brother.

"I was also bored, and I wanted to walk by the river, but I came here unconsciously."

"Brother, when I was young, if we were bullied by others, or when something unhappy happened, you would bring me here every time."

"Yes! There are so many childhood memories here, in this house, all the memories are the shadow of my father, as long as I think of my father, all the troubles will no longer be troubles, and all the pains will become no longer pains. ”

"But I hate it here, because every time I come here, it proves that I have been bullied by others again, so I wish I came less."

"Yes! It's good to come a few times a year. Lin Yuhao sighed and said, the red brick and blue tile house in front of him is his eternal memory of his father, Yuhan was not born when his father left, and after Yuhan remembered, the Lin family had moved to the current new home, and he must not be able to understand his strong feelings for his father.

"Brother! Thank you so much, for so many years, if it weren't for you and my mother supporting this family, I don't think I would have been able to live such a happy life. ”

"Who told you to call me brother! But my mother and I never thought that we would be able to raise you to be a little bully. We'll have to review that. Lin Yuhao quipped, and then reached out and rubbed Lin Yuhan's messy style and said:

"It's time for your hair to be trimmed, are kids in such cool shapes nowadays?"

"You think it's cool, huh? Chu Ning also thinks so, but you all said similar things. Lin Yuhan grabbed a strand of hair on his forehead, and then blew on the hair, and the hair immediately drifted away.

"Which one?"

She said--,Lin Yuhan, how can you go out to the big city for a semester and come back like a wild man?" You see, your hair is almost braided, and you don't know how to cut it, isn't the aesthetics of Shanghai now reduced to yours? Lin Yuhan learned Chu Ning's tone as he spoke, which made Lin Yuhao laugh.

"Hmm! I couldn't agree more when she said that. Lin Yuhao imagined that when he got Chu Condensation, his face must have been stretched so long.

"Brother! I found that you hurt Chu Ning more than my blood brother? ”

"I don't think we even have much contact time, and besides, she's always a girl, even if I love her a little, you don't have to worry about the same girl, right?"

"It's not that I care, it's just that every time something happens, you just think of it, and I'm always like a bystander."

"Please, we are two normal people's minds, and your wild thoughts all day long can be the same as ours." Lin Yuhao said with relief.

"That's right, in the words of those villagers in the village, I'm a little overlord who can't live forever and doesn't know the sufferings of the world! But then again, my character is really spoiled by you and your mother, think about it, although I was not born with a golden spoon, but since I was a child, I have everything I want, and there is no shortage of everything, which has contributed to my indispensable character, so you and your mother have an unshirkable responsibility. ”

"Stinky boy, you really fell and my mother came, and Chu Ning was not born with a golden spoon like you, and he was also held in the palm of his hand by his uncle and aunt, but he didn't develop your unbeatable character."

"Tsk--, right! He was comparing me with her, and said that you are not all oriented towards her, but I can see through it. Lin Yuhan pursed his lips and said faintly.

Lin Yuhao didn't squeak this time, only looked at the sky with a smile, turned his head to Lin Yuhan and said, "It's not early, let's go to the river!" ”

"Okay!" Lin Yuhan also got up quickly, patted the dust on his pants, and walked towards the road where Lin Yuhao came.

"Brother, sometimes I think it's really happy to be small, I don't know why? Every time I think of this, I have the urge to stop reading, I always want to come out early to earn money, and I don't want to make you and your mother work so hard anymore. ”

"This society is actually quite complicated, for example, a big dye vat is placed in front of you, once you step in, it is difficult to get out cleanly. Your brother and I now have enough ability to support this family, my mother refuses to let go of the store that has been in business for many years, and I don't force her, if you refuse to study hard, I believe that life at home must be difficult. Lin Yuhao chuckled.

"Think about it, forget it, I don't want to be pressed down by those three mountains, so I'd better study obediently." Lin Yuhan imagined that if he dropped out of school, his mother and uncle and aunt of the Chu family would count him down, so he hurriedly surrendered.

"Still upset about what happened in the morning?" After a while, Lin Yuhao looked at Yu Han, who was a little absent-minded, and asked.

"Brother, I'm wondering if I'm too sudden? Or does she not like me at all? Lin Yuhan laughed a little self-deprecatingly.

"How come, you have always had a good relationship since you were a child."

"Then why wouldn't she want to accept my gift?"

"I guess girls are more conservative! If you give her jewelry all at once, she may not be a little comfortable. ”

"I see, by the way, what kind of gift did you give her?"

"A very ordinary scarf, my brother thought that she was so afraid of the cold, it was more suitable to give her something warm, and it happened that the company was engaged in internal purchase activities, so it was a coincidence, compared to the gift you gave her, mine is not worth mentioning."

"Hah! Chu Ning is really eccentric, she accepted the gift from her brother, the gift I gave, she reluctantly accepted it after so long, and said that it was just a temporary storage, thinking that she was really eccentric, it turned out that between gifts and gifts, there would also be unequal treatment. Lin Yuhan was extremely dissatisfied with Chu Ning.

"I don't mean the same as you, I'm conditional." Lin Yuhao said without a trace.

"Conditions? Speak up and listen. Lin Yuhan said curiously.
