Zhicheng sat on the chair in the communication room, rubbing his hands without saying a word, and was a little uncomfortable.

The young security guard looked at Zhicheng like a bear, and looked down on him a little in his heart, but because he was introduced by Xuelian, he didn't dare to treat him too slowly, so he asked with a smile on his face: "Hey-young man, what is your relationship with her?" "It's as if that's important to him.

"I didn't ...... It doesn't matter, we're just classmates. Zhicheng said lightly.

"Oh, that's it!" The security guard nodded slightly and said, "Then what did she bring you for?" ”

Zhicheng smiled and said, "I'm here to borrow books from her, and there's nothing else to do." ”

After a while, Xue Lian hurriedly came in, only to see her mouth exhaling white air frequently, it seemed that she was running over, her face was red by the cold wind, and her two dimples were round.

Xue Lian walked in the door, and when she saw Zhichenggan sitting, she angrily said to the security guard: "I said Sanyong, Sanyong, you treat my good friend like this!" Not to mention anything else, for such an old day, you don't even pour a glass of water, do you entertain guests like this? That's not true. She put down the bag in her hand and went straight to the water dispenser and took two disposable paper cups.

"Oh, it's okay, I'm not thirsty. Snow lotus, don't fall. Although what Zhicheng said in his mouth was insignificant, when Xue Lian really put a cup of hot boiling water beside him, he was almost moved to tears in his heart, maybe the weight of a glass of water itself is not large, but in this winter, it is a kind of affection in the snow.

"Oops!" The security guard hurriedly stood up and patted his head and said with a smile: "Look at my pig brain, patronizing and talking to this young man, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

Xue Lian put two cups of hot water on Zhicheng's table, smiled embarrassedly, and then turned around and said to the security guard: "Sanyong, this is my classmate and good friend from the countryside, don't judge people by their appearance." If he comes to me in the future, you have to give me a good reception! Don't be lukewarm, do you hear that? It's not that I'm talking about you, what you're doing today is just wrong. People have come to our door, this winter. How can you not even pour a glass of water...... Don't say it's a guest I've introduced. Take a step back, even if it is a strange passer-by, when you are tired of walking, come to our communication room to rest and warm up. Nothing else, this winter, we have to pour a glass of water for others! This is the most basic etiquette, to know that a glass of water warms people's hearts. Don't care if people drink it or not, you have to pour it, this is etiquette, do you understand etiquette? In the future, everyone who comes to our Education Bureau will be warmly received, don't be like a second master. Don't salute when you see a foreigner, and be rude when you see a rustic. Treating everyone equally, this is the most basic virtue of a person. What do you want your communication room to do, isn't it just to treat people! Your well-being will be directly related to the external image of our Education Bureau, and now all walks of life are advocating high-quality services. Government organs and units are no exception, and we must also establish a good image in the hearts of the masses. If you don't ask for anything else, be warm to people, can't you do that? To put it mildly, everyone who comes to our Education Bureau must receive them like parents. ”

"Well, well, it will be done in the future...... Not an example! Hehe......" The security guard nodded like a smiling tiger.

Xue Lian picked up the water on the table and said with a smile: "Zhicheng, it's cold outside, drink two cups of hot water to warm up and then go!" Anyway, it's not bad for a few minutes. ”

Zhicheng hurriedly stretched out his hands and respectfully took the hot cup, as if holding a hot heart. He squirmed his lips, and he was momentarily moved, not knowing what to say. As soon as Zhicheng finished drinking the first cup, Snow Lotus immediately sent the second cup to him......

After Zhicheng drank the water, the security guard stood up when he saw him, and Xuelian also picked up her bag, so she sent the two out of the communication room with a smile on her face, and enthusiastically let Zhicheng have time to play.

Xue Lian led Zhicheng to the outside gate, took out five brand-new copies of "The Complete Works of Lu Yao" and one "How Steel is Made" from her basket and stuffed them into his bag.

Zhicheng was surprised and said, "So many? There's enough for me to read. When will I be able to finish reading all this? ”

"When are you going to finish reading it, when are you counting! I don't wait to ask for it. As long as you can give it back to me before you marry your daughter-in-law. This "How Steel is Made" is an inspiring book, you can read it when you are fine, learn the spirit of Paul Kochagin to face difficulties, I hope that you, a Xiaoice skater, can grow into a more stubborn and strong 'little steel ball' after reading this book. When you get home, don't just look at this, and tutor more English. She comforted him like a big sister, and took out a small tape recorder from her bag and said to him: "Ah, this is my Walkman from a long time ago, I gave it to you, will you use it?" ”

"Don't, Xuelian, you still don't give it to me, I won't be able to use it, I'll break it for you again."

"Don't worry! If the drum is broken, you won't be able to pay for it. As long as you don't smash it with your head, it won't break...... Don't gnaw with your teeth, do you hear? It's not that I'm afraid of gnawing it, I'm afraid of losing your front teeth......" She sneered and gave him a small leather hammer.

Zhicheng couldn't help laughing, this girl is really good at teasing.

"Alright, you can take it back! Now that MP4 is outdated, who wants this old thing, so you don't have to pay me back. Clamour! These are three cassettes of English tapes, plus two cassettes of Song Zuying, she is my most admired singer, and I believe you will love her singing voice too. For English, listening is particularly important, go back and listen more, I just bought you a five-board (20 pieces) small battery, when you use it, first buckle the bottom cover at the back, and then put the battery in it, don't put it back, don't press this red button when you listen, this is the tube recording, you press this, this is the tube put. I'm sure you'll use it, who hasn't eaten pork and never seen a pig run! Right! To be honest, since I left the countryside in the past few years, pork has been eaten a lot, but pigs can't be seen anymore......"

She said and laughed and put the things in her hand into his bag, a pair of big eyes full of tenderness flashed watery, and glanced at him from time to time. The shining pupils are crystal clear and vast, and they are really a pair of big eyes that make people lose their souls.

Zhicheng was not good at talking, and he didn't know what to say at this time, he just bit his lip and stared at her stupidly, he didn't understand why she was so close to Mu Ne's self. Xue Lian tied the bag she had brought to his handlebar and said, "I have packed you with a bag of fruit and snacks from home, and if you are tired of walking on the way, or you are hungry, untie the mat." It's the New Year, you take it back and let your uncle and aunt eat something, it's not easy for the old man to work all his life, it's a little bit of my heart......"

Zhicheng only felt a sour nose when he heard this, and said with excitement: "Xuelian, I really don't know how to thank you at this moment, and I have never seen such a kind girl as you." He pursed his lips with tears in his eyes.

Xuelian hurriedly reached out to wipe the tears on his face for him, and said funny: "You little Xiaoice slipper, how can you cry in the winter!" Look at you, this little thing is worth it! I didn't expect you to be quite touched. Okay, don't cry, it's winter, cry and ......"

Zhicheng wiped the tears on his face and said: "Xuelian, you have given me a lot of help during this period of time, especially in the study of English, which has troubled you a lot, it is you who have given me enough courage and confidence to make my grades improve." Thank you so much. What makes me feel guilty the most is that I made you cry again......"

"Look at you, what are you talking about? It's all in the past, don't forget that we are good friends now, don't keep putting the word thank you on your lips in the future, I can't say that one day, when I go to the countryside to find you, I have to trouble your family, don't entertain me when the time comes! Her easy-going words were tinged with good-natured teasing, a more cordial and friendly gesture.

"I hope what you said is true, I hate that you can go home with me now, and our whole family will make offerings to you as a bodhisattva."

"Giggles, don't be so exaggerated, if I don't go to the Northeast this winter vacation, I'll go to the countryside to play with you, but it's a pity that tomorrow I will leave our Hechang City and go to my second aunt's house."

"What? You're going to the Northeast this winter vacation? ”

"Look at your mouth and glare, what's the fuss about, since the second year of junior high school, whether it is winter vacation or summer vacation, I will always jump outward, if you stay at home safely, I can't suffocate me, I went to Weihai last summer, I plan to go to Qiqihar this winter vacation. Have you ever heard of the name? In Heilongjiang, the pimple is also called Qi City, which refers to Qiqihar. Isn't this Northeast dialect authentic? People in the Northeast talk interestingly, and they always say, 'Uh-huh'...... When I was in the third year of junior high school, I went to the Northeast once, that time I went to Mudanjiang, and this time I went to Yi'an County. My second aunt put the pimple on hold ......"

"And who will lead you? It's a long way to go. ”

"I'm on my own! Now the traffic is so developed, how can you still use it, but unfortunately there is no high-speed rail, and it takes 18 hours to arrive by express...... Will you go with me? ”

"Snow Lotus, don't be funny! You must not go alone, so far away, you are a girl. ”

"What? I'm afraid that someone will sell me, right? Then you can go with me! The travel expenses are all covered by me, and it just so happens that you will also go with me to see the customs of the northeast. When I got to the people's house, the pimple was icy and snowy, and it was much cooler than ours. ”

"Xuelian, don't be joking......" He stared at her and instructed with great concern: "Xuelian, if you really want to go to the Northeast, it's best to let your parents send you, it's a long way, not three miles and five miles, if you go alone, I'm a little worried!" He said as he put on his torn gloves with exposed cotton wool.

"Yo, you still care about me, if you don't worry, come with me. In fact, with you, I'm really afraid that if I don't pay attention, others will treat you as a big girl and run away from me. Xue Lian smiled and pulled off the torn gloves he had put on his hands and exposed cotton wool.

Zhicheng was very puzzled and said, "What are you doing here?" I have to go back. ”

Xue Lian giggled and said, "I know you have to go back, you are not warm, give-wear mine!" This is warm. She took off her bright red leather gloves and handed them to him.

"Oops! No, how can I wear you! Zhicheng pushed the delicate red leather gloves in her hand to the side, and then asked him for his own broken gloves.

"Hmph, if you don't give it, you won't give it, at the door of my house, I see what you can do to me......" She covered his broken gloves behind her, stuffed the leather gloves in her hand into his arms, and said, "Hmph, if you want to wear it, you can wear it!" Freezing your hands is a big deal in your life, and you see how cold it is these days! Xue Lian grabbed his hand waving wildly and sneered hard at him, and said softly and hardly: "Hmph, see if you are stubborn or I am stubborn." I'm going to put it on for you today......"

Zhicheng still said reluctantly: "Xuelian, what are you doing, my hands are not afraid of freezing, really, besides, I took it, so what are you wearing!" It's not a day or two......"

"I still have a pair of gloves, I can say anything at the door of the house, I really can't wear your pair of 'flowers'! But you still have more than forty miles to go, don't look at me, I don't have much wind, as soon as you get on the road, the biting cold wind can peel you alive like a knife...... Okay, obedient, hurry up and put it on. She criticized with concern and blamed with warmth.

Zhicheng pursed his lips and said, "I'm a Xiaoice fool, am I afraid of heat or cold?" ”

Xue Lian was amused by his words, and affectionately pounded his chest and said, "I forgot that you are a Xiaoice skater." ”

Zhicheng let her put the leather gloves on his hands, and there was still her residual warmth in the soft cotton gloves. Zhicheng didn't expect that in this foreign land, he was no less cared for and compassionate than his mother.

"Don't cry anymore, okay, I'll give you back your 'flowery' gloves. Since you're not eating here, go back quickly! Uncles and aunts are not worried. The road is slippery in snow, please pay attention to safety on your road......"

Zhicheng pursed his lips and nodded, and said movingly: "Snow Lotus, then you can go back too!" It's cold outside. I...... I'm leaving. Zhicheng was still a little reluctant, his lips squirmed, as if he wanted to talk to her.

"You little ice Xiaoice is not afraid of freezing, and my fire ball is even less afraid of freezing. Alright, here you go! I'm standing here to see you on your way...... When you go home and see your uncle and aunt, don't forget to help me bring a good child, and I wish you a happy and happy New Year. ”

Xue Lian's warm words Zhicheng only felt that the warm current was surging into his heart, which was really warm. He exhaled excitedly and said with great joy, "Thank you, Snow Lotus." I ALSO SEND YOU THE SAME BLESSING, THE SAME TO YOU. ”

Zhicheng pushed the bicycle and walked a few steps forward, turned around and waved at her, really wanted to run over and hug her before setting off......

"Xiaoice have a good trip...... Don't look back. She smiled and rushed back to Zhicheng, dancing happily with her "naked" little hands......
