Brothers and sisters, it's on the shelves today, thank you for your support to have today, I won't talk nonsense first, I'll write the testimonial in the evening, now only do one thing, outbreak! ――

One Change-

Thank you for the reward of "", "Six Roots of Impurity" and "Liu's Country"! ――

Although Sylvia's father, Weiss-Slote, was not in good health, he was very enthusiastic and hospitable.

There is a sumptuous dinner on the table in the dining room, which is actually similar to the Chinese New Year in Chinese, and the Christmas dinner of Westerners is also based on advocating meat, just like the Chinese proverb says: Who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year?

Mr. Slote proudly told Qin Xiong that this dinner was all cooked by Sylvia herself.

Qin Xiong tasted turkey, salmon, and vegetable platter, and it was unimaginable that she actually made Christmas pastries by herself.

Just as Chinese people eating dumplings will wrap a coin in the dumplings to indicate who eats the New Year and get rich, Westerners will spend Christmas, and will also hide mascots in Christmas pastries, some are almonds, some are others, in the Netherlands, people who eat lucky pastries at Christmas will indicate that they will be blessed by Peter, the little black man, the god of luck.

The room was warm enough that Georgia put on his new jersey and sneakers and happily walked upstairs and downstairs, eating the most pastries, and he was thrilled when he ate the ones with the lucky stuff hidden.

But two minutes later, Qin Xiong took a random piece of biscuit and took a bite, chewing it in his mouth and suddenly his expression became strange.

He seemed to have eaten it.

When Sylvia saw his expression, she knew that Qin Xiong had also eaten the lucky cake, and whispered to him: "In order to let this little guy eat the lucky cookie, I made three pieces, I ate one piece just now, and you also ate a piece, don't tell him." ”

Qin Xiong blinked with a smile in his eyes, giving Sylvia a reassuring look.

"Now that the Dutch clubs are in the winter break, if I'm not mistaken, it should be almost a month, aren't you going back to China?"

Weiss-Slote asked kindly.

Qin Xiong picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth and talked to the elders, he was always very formal, on the one hand, to show respect, on the other hand, he was indeed not very familiar with the uncle in front of him.

"It's not a secret, the traditional holiday in China starts at the end of the winter break, plus, well, I don't have many friends in China, I don't have any relatives in the real sense, maybe you don't know yet, I'm an orphan." Therefore, I have no plans to return to China during the winter break, and I plan to use this time to take a walk around the Netherlands and relax. ”

Slote nodded abruptly, and then said, "Then it's better to let Sylvia be your guide." ”

Sylvia's expression froze and she said, "Dad, I don't have much vacation. ”

Slote shook his head slightly, his expression was a little stricter, and said: "It's time for you to relax and relax, you have a holiday, but I know that you are going to work, listen to me, this year's Christmas holiday, go outside to have fun, other things, don't worry." ”

Sylvia wanted to speak and stopped, Qin Xiong seemed to understand something.

Capitalist society does not mean that it can really meet all the needs of family life, and of course there will be many ordinary families who are struggling and difficult.

The situation in Sylvia's home is clear at a glance.

Her mother died early, and her father did not know what kind of illness he suffered, but he must have lost his ability to work, and the social welfare guarantee would provide some assistance, but it would not give the family enough support.

In particular, Sylvia is also in college, and her younger brother Georgia also has a future to consider.

Therefore, Sylvia has been working hard, studying well, and can get a lot of scholarships to support her studies, and working outside of her studies can help her family alleviate financial difficulties, especially, Qin Xiong believes that Weiss-Slote's body, whether it needs long-term treatment expenses or not, but the minimum health care cost is definitely not low.

The hard life did not crush Sylvia, nor did it make her surrender, and instead went to seek assistance in the sports cars of those suitors.

Qin Xiong suddenly stood in awe of her, feeling as if he had just said a wrong word.

He shouldn't have said that he was going to travel, so why should he disrupt other people's life plans?

Slote had heard about Qin Xiong from Georgia before, but he didn't believe it a little, after all, Qin Xiong was an Ajax star, but when he really saw Qin Xiong and contacted him, he confirmed that the big brother in Georgia's mouth who was reliable and cared for him was real.

As if she had heard something, Georgia ran from the living room to the dining room, pressed her hands on the dining table, and asked with bright eyes, "Travel?" Is it going on a trip? Does Dad go with him, too? Where to go? ”

Weiss-Slote looked at Georgia and then at Sylvia, and his eyes seemed to speak: Look, your brother also wants to travel.

Sylvia turned her head to look at Qin Xiong, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay." ”

In fact, she was excited in her heart, taking her younger brother and Qin Xiong on a trip? You should be able to have a carefree vacation.

However, when she looked at her father, she hid her worries.

After dinner, Georgia sat under the Christmas tree watching entertainment on TV, Qin Xiong and Sylvia stood at the window, Sylvia lit a candle, opened the curtains, and placed the candle on the windowsill.

Qin Xiong asked curiously, "Why do every household have to light candles or put a small electric lamp on the windowsill?" ”

"It's a tradition in our old community, which means that on Christmas Eve, it's to light the way home for those who are out. ”

"Well, it's a beautiful tradition, and it makes people feel warm when they hear it."

Sylvia was silent for a while, suddenly looked at Georgia not far away, and then said to Qin Xiong, "Thank you." ”

Qin Xiong also turned his head to look at Georgia and shook his head.

He doesn't think he deserves to be grateful.

Sylvia was a little distracted, and said lightly: "Georgia has no memory of her mother, her father's health began to deteriorate six years ago, as an older sister, I should spend more time taking care of him and accompanying him, but I didn't do it"

Human energy is always limited.

Qin Xiong could imagine that Sylvia had sacrificed a lot, but she was still blaming herself, maybe she had to shoulder it, it was too much.

Qin Xiong suddenly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't prepare a Christmas gift for you." ”

Sylvia stared into his face with a soft smile, but winked playfully and said, "No, your gift, I have already received it." ”

With that, she withdrew her gaze and looked up at the hazy moon outside the window, the corners of her mouth curled.

Qin Xiong didn't understand her words for a while, but he was attracted by her soft side face, and didn't think about it anymore, and after a while, he realized that it was not good to stare at the other party like this, so he also looked at the night sky outside the window.

When eleven o'clock in the evening came, Qin Xiong chose to leave.

Sylvia saw him off herself, and when they parted ways on the street in the neighborhood, the two exchanged a Merry Christmas.

Qin Xiong didn't take the car, he was not tired, and his heart was happy and sweet.

He had a good memory and walked back along the road driven by the taxi driver.

When he walked through a commercial area at midnight and did not return home, the young people who had spent Christmas Eve outside gathered in the square, drinking wine, singing, listening to the music playing in the commercial square, and then, as twelve o'clock approached, everyone counted down in unison.

"Three !!"

"Two !!"

"One !!"

"Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! ”

Qin Xiong, who was passing by here, couldn't help but stop and watch, and then the corners of his mouth were full of smiles, and he shuttled through with his hands in his pockets, and from time to time strangers would take the initiative to say Merry Christmas to him, or invite him to drink and celebrate together, Qin Xiong frequently waved his hand or shook his head to refuse.

At Christmas, there is reunion, warmth, and passion.

Qin Xiong, the first Christmas in his life to spend abroad, the Christmas in the real sense, made him start to like this festival.

He walked briskly, humming a Christmas ballad, and he wanted to go back to his apartment, lie in bed, and fall asleep happily.

Sylvia was already lying on her bed, she tossed and turned, although the lights were turned off, her eyes were always open, and Qin Xiong's figure kept appearing in her mind.

She held the necklace pendant around her neck in the palm of her hand and stared at it in dismay.

It was given to her by her mother, who once belonged to her beautiful and gentle mother.

She couldn't help but mumble to herself.

"Mom, I might be in love with a man, what should I do?"
