Chapter 50, First Snow
After the final exams, the weather gradually cooled, and the winter vacation was only a month, and the New Year was not long before the New Year, so they didn't think about going to work to make money.
Uncle Wu deliberately took the time to drive to the school to pick them up, because the junior high school had an early holiday, and Teacher Xiao also had time to pick up Xiao Wu.
Fortunately, there were two cars, clothes, quilts and books to fill the trunk.
"Teacher Xiao, I booked a private room in advance, and I took them to improve the food first after the holiday."
Uncle Wu is an engineer, and I heard that he made a lot of money this year, so he not only invited everyone to have a good meal, but also rewarded Lao Wu with a new mobile phone.
After eating, Meng Xin and Xiao Wu took Teacher Xiao's car, and Ake and Lao Wu went home together in Uncle Wu's car.
This is much faster than taking the bus, less than an hour to go home, grandpa and grandpa were waiting at the gate early, saw the car stopped at the door of the house and called Mr. Xiao and Uncle Wu to go into the house to rest, was kindly refused.
"Uncle Meng, Aunt Meng, we will come over next time, and we will have something to do when we go back today."
Anyway, a few houses are close to each other, and they usually visit the door or something, and since they say that there is something, they don't force it.
Moving things into the living room, grandma helped her take out the quilt cover or something and put it in the washing machine as soon as possible, taking advantage of the sun to dry it in the past two days.
"Grandma, I want to go to sleep."
Finally on vacation, Meng Xin didn't want to do anything when he got home, so he went back to his room and fell asleep.
"This baby is really tired from high school, and I look at how she is thinner than the last time she came back."
Grandma was busy with her work while chatting with her wife.
"Her mother called back two days ago and said that she would bring stars back for the New Year this year, I don't know if the baby will be unhappy if she knows. She has been unable to pass that hurdle in her heart all these years.
Her mother also comes back rarely, and every time she comes back, she is in a hurry, and she leaves after a day.
The mother and daughter quarreled when they met, what kind of sin did this create! ”
Meng Xin's cheap half-sister is almost eight years old, more than a year behind that cheap half-brother.
Because they didn't see each other much in different cities, they came back with their mother once when they were five years old, and because their sister broke her baby model, the two sisters had a big fight, and her mother took her sister back.
He never came back.
"Alas, find a time to tell the baby in advance, I think she has been a lot calmer in the past six months. When I grow up, those awkwardness in my heart may have been let go a long time ago. ”
Meng Xin naturally didn't know about the chat between the two old men, so he slept directly until dinner time before waking up.
"Grandpa, what did you do for dinner, it's so fragrant!"
When I went downstairs, I smelled the smell of food, and the gluttonous worms in my stomach had already been hooked.
"It's good to wake up, go wash your hands, and you'll be ready to eat soon, it's all what you like to eat."
Every time Meng Xin came back, her grandfather would cook herself, for fear that she would not be able to eat well.
"Well, good!"
Cozy dinner time,
Later, Meng Xin would often recall this picture, after her grandfather left, she never ate such a delicious meal again.
Accustomed to fast food and takeaway, she eats just to fill her stomach.
During the winter vacation, I slept at home until three o'clock in the morning every day, took time to do my winter vacation homework, and basically mixed with Ake and the others in the afternoon.
Or climb a mountain together,
Or go shopping and eat snacks together,
Or nest together to play games,
Or nestled together in the sun,
The days are leisurely and comfortable.
At night, I sat next to the TV series and watched the news with my grandfather and chased the drama with my grandmother.
Today is her birthday, and she will be sixteen years old after today.
Ake: They asked her out for a get-together at noon. In the evening, her grandfather prepared a sumptuous dinner for her, as well as a cake made by her grandmother.
Her mother made a phone call home, and Meng Xin chatted with her for less than a minute.
Her mother said she was coming back for the New Year.
"Oh!"
Meng Xin didn't say anything, and hung up the phone without even changing his mood.
Grandpa had a worried expression.
At night, Meng Xin couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he sent a message to Lu Yiming.
"Did you sleep?"
Because it is said that the hospital is busiest in winter, and Meng Xin does not dare to play with his mobile phone at home to make calls. After contacting Lu Yiming on the day he came back. They didn't talk much for half a month.
"Xin Xin, why don't you sleep so late?"
Lu Yiming had just returned home from overtime, and he saw the text message and called back directly.
"Sixty-two, I'm so sad."
Meng Xin had a nasal voice, and when she heard Lu Yiming's voice, her emotions were no longer controllable.
"I'm sorry, I forgot that today is your birthday, happy birthday, Xin Xin."
Lu Yiming suddenly glanced at the time of the desk calendar on the table, and remembered that today was her birthday. I also blame myself, I usually don't take these things to heart.
"Thank you!"
Still crying.
"Can you tell me why I'm so sad? Is there no one to accompany you on your birthday? ”
Suddenly I was worried about this girl who had a birthday but cried alone in the middle of the night.
"No, my grandfather made me a lot of delicious food for dinner, but my mother suddenly called back and felt a little bored.
My mom remarried, went to another city, has her own new home, I haven't seen her for three years, and she and her current husband have a lovely daughter.
She hasn't spent a birthday with me in all these years, and she hasn't had a parent-teacher conference for me.
Sixty-two, you say that I am not superfluous in this world, I am a dispensable person. ”
Meng Xin sobbed in a low voice, I don't know when she learned to hide her emotions, and the only person she could confide in was this person who made her feel warm for the first time.
"Xin Xin, you remember, you will always be the unique girl in the hearts of your grandpa and our friends.
It doesn't matter what your parents did in the first place to leave you.
They do you a disservice.
You can not forgive them,
But don't deny yourself. ”
Lu Yiming's gentle voice is her best placebo, healing Meng Xin's inner scars little by little. It also made her more attached to him.
"Xin Xin, look,
It's snowing outside,
It's the first snow of the year, and it's the best gift God has in store for your birthday.
You're the girl that God is also favoring,
The troublesome things are told to the snowflakes,
When it merges, it will also take away the troubles with it. ”
Lu Yiming happened to be standing on the balcony, and snowflakes began to fall outside, in order to make Meng Xin feel better, he told her as soon as possible.
"Well, I'm in a much better mood, I'm going to go outside and see the snow."
I opened the curtains and looked out from the window on the second floor, and sure enough, there were snowflakes outside.
"Add a piece of clothing, it's a little cold outside!"
Lu Yiming didn't stop her, but told her not to get cold. In the middle of the night, the lights of Wanjia had already been extinguished, and everyone had fallen asleep.
Meng Xin approved a thick cotton coat and got out of bed, did not turn on the light, and gently opened the door and walked to the roof with the faint light of the mobile phone.
"The snow is so beautiful!"
I saw the breeze gently shaking the trees in the courtyard, and the thin snow fell on the branches and leaves, and soon melted.
"Well, if you like it, there should be a thick layer of snow when you wake up tomorrow, and maybe you can build a snowman to play."
Snowflakes swirled in the air like mist, slowly condensing on the rooftop, like falling flowers.
"Well, thank you, I'm in a much better mood!"
Looking at the snowflakes and listening to the phone, Meng Xin's mood gradually calmed down.
"Okay, it's too cold outside, let's go back to sleep early, and ...... Happy birthday! ”
I hung up the phone with peace of mind.
This is also a snow viewing together!
