It was snowing heavily this winter, and I wanted to go downstairs and build a snowman with my sister, but I hadn't finished the task my tutor had given me.

I wanted to tell my dad that maybe the next time I played with my mom and sister, I would be much better, but I was afraid that my dad would be angry, and I didn't want to make him cough because of me.

I got up and pushed open the window, and there was a cloud of snow coming from the window, it was very cool, Xiaorong immediately saw me and beckoned to me, "Sister, come down and play, the snow is so thick, let's build a snowman together, okay?" ”

I still shook my head.

Mom waved me to close the window, "It's time to eat soon, have you finished your homework, come in, don't catch a cold, you wear so little." ”

I nodded, and Xiao Rong took her mother's hand and said, "Why does my sister have so many words to write every day?" ”

I used to hear Wang's mother say that when my mother was pregnant with me, a doctor said that it would be a boy, and my father was very happy.

In the second year, Xiao Su was born one after another, and she was still a girl.

But Dad was reluctant to let Mom hurt again.

During the meal, Xiaorong was sneezing and was roasting on the fire, her round face was red, so cute, her mother could always buy beautiful clothes for her, like a princess.

After dinner, my father asked me to go to the study to play chess with him, and now, he can only let me have a horse.

"This time next year, Ya'er, will you let your father have a car?" Dad is rarely kind and pleasant, smiling with a pipe.

I grabbed my pipe with a frown and began to concentrate on playing chess.

Dad said that action is always better than promise.

"It doesn't seem to be of much use here."

"He can't die, if he dies, the people in front of him are dead." I pushed a pawn across the river.

"Can he only wait for the person in front of him to save him?" Daddy let the elephant fly in the field.

"He is very useful, he will plan the battle strategy with the soldiers around him, and tell the Imperial General how to fight."

"What qualities do he want best?"

I thought about it, "He must have the temperament of not changing his face and not being frightened when the big mountain collapses in front of him, and he must also be calm and rational." ”

Dad nodded, pointed to the situation on my side, and said, "Do you know why I can win you every time?" ”

I shook my head.

"Ya'er, you are too conservative, too guarded, too focused on the layout for you, and your vision is still not long-term."

"Yes, Dad, I'll change my strategy later."

Dad let out a long hum.

Wang Ma pushed the door in and brought us two bowls of silver lotus ear soup, "Master, teach Xiaoya to play chess again." ”

I stood up and said, "Mother Wang, I want to eat an ice Qilin." ”

"Sit down!"

Wang's mother winked at me helplessly and thoughtfully closed the door for us.

"Are you done playing?!"

I bit my lip and looked down at the game.

But the tears were already rolling in the eyes, and after a while, two tears dripped on the chess board.

"Xiaoya, now you are playing this game of chess, all the pieces follow you, your words and deeds will affect the entire battle situation, don't think that you are standing at the back, on the other side of your river, all eyes are staring at you, thinking about how to cross you, and then let all your sons collapse into an army, is this how you are lax? How can you let your father trust Kairan to you? ”

I wiped my tears and said, "I'm sorry, Dad." ”

He sighed and looked at me for a long time without speaking, and I didn't even dare to look up into his eyes.

He always expects much more from me than I do.

Xiao Rong knocked on my door with a big bear, and she walked to my bed with sleepy eyes, "Sister, I'll sleep with you tonight." ”

"Don't you usually sleep alone?" I took another pillow out of the closet.

She covered her lips and coughed twice, and sat in the center of the bed with the bear in her arms, "I'm so uncomfortable, it's so dark when I wake up, and I don't dare to call my mother." ”

"Then sleep." I covered her with the quilt.

She stared tonight, but she couldn't sleep, tossing and turning.

"Sister, you're not fun at all, it's better to be Brother Zhuo Yu, he can take me to play a lot of fun things, there are a lot of cars, tanks, rockets, and his very precious porcelain dolls in his room."

I rolled over and covered my head, tomorrow I have to get up early, my father said he was going to take me to ride a horse, he told me to go to bed early at night, otherwise tomorrow I will not be energetic, and I will be thrown off by the horse.

"But their home is so far away, on Dongfang Road in the Southern District...."Xiao Rong pushed my shoulder and said to himself.

I just felt sleepy, and I don't know when I fell asleep.

In the morning, I was woken up by my mother's scream, hugged the quilt and got up, and when I saw my mother hugging Xiaorong, I shouted loudly, "Jingmo, come on, Xiaorong is about to freeze to death!" ”

"Sister, give me the quilt...."She tugged at her mother's clothes with her eyes closed.

I think I was so noisy last night that she wrapped herself up and made her catch a cold.

"Xiaoya, why don't you take care of your sister at all!"

I shook my head, "Mom, she's here to sleep on her own." ”

"Then you can't let your sister sleep outside the quilt in the winter."

"She talked to herself last night and didn't sleep late....."

"What kind of noise is there early in the morning, Xiaorong, you two adults still can't see it well, let her disturb Ya'er!" Dad glared at them sternly, and Xiao Rong choked a few times and cried.

I got up to clean up, and my father went out of the room and turned back, and when he lifted the bedside, Xiaorong's big bear threw it out, "Mom, don't put these things in Ya'er's room in the future!" ”

I actually don't like to wear riding clothes, but my dad always says that I look very energetic and sassy.

The winter ride was actually very uncomfortable, and after a few laps, my face was red from the cold.

Dad is very happy with this, and he can't be moved, so he must bring me once a week.

"Xiaoya, our research room is very improving, now I can also spend more time on Kairan, you will graduate from primary school soon, we will move to the southern district, closer to the company, you don't have to run so far to go to school every day."

"Dad, you seem to be very tired, you need to rest."

"Xiaoya, when you do what your father is like one day, you will know that sometimes you don't stop if you want to."

I nodded as if I didn't understand, "Because there are soldiers and soldiers behind Dad, right?" ”

Dad laughed, "Yes, this is what Dad often says about responsibility, the uncles and aunts in the company have all worked hard with Dad all the way, and finally got better, do you say Dad can let them go?" ”

I shook my head firmly.

After graduating from elementary school, I moved.

Our villa on Beiyang Road is beautifully decorated, my room is bigger and brighter, I like this house, my dad said that the swing in the yard on the first floor is mine.

The staircase is spiral, there are many turns, it is very artistic, Wang Ma said, this is the mother insisted on decorating like this.

Later, Xiaorong often played in the corridor, and always rushed out coldly to scare me, and then jumped away.

After that night, we rarely talked and didn't play together.

She and my mother, me and my father, it seems like two worlds, and I always wonder why we are two sisters.

My mother likes to be lively, and after moving to the southern district, friends are closer, and they often hold banquets at home.

When I came back from cram school, the crowd was scattered.

Since moving here, the most frequent contact in the family is Uncle Yan, Aunt Yan's family, especially, Uncle Yan and his father are very good friends, and they have known each other since childhood.

When I went upstairs, I was silently reciting the French words I had taught tonight, and I had just turned a corner when I was hugged from behind.

"You can't run away, Xiaorong."

"Let go of me."

As soon as I let go of my hand, I immediately ran upstairs with my book.

Before he entered the room, he was at the door.

"Do you need your face to be so red?"

"Who are you?" We don't allow guests to come up to the second floor.

He leaned sideways and let me into the room, "My name is Yan Zhuoyu, I came to play with my parents today, I heard Xiaorong mention you a few times, your name is Xiaoya, right?" ”

I nodded.

"Why do you do so much homework?" He flipped through the workbook on my desk.

I said lightly, "I always have to finish studying in front of the teacher, otherwise I won't have time to learn other knowledge." ”

He raised an eyebrow, his thin eyes full of smiles.

"You're just a girl, why do you want to learn so much, isn't it good to be like Xiaorong?"

"It's none of your business."

He frowned slightly and looked at me as if he didn't understand, but I could clearly see a faint pity in his eyes.

I don't like this feeling very much and want to resist, but this handsome and slender Yan Zhuoyu, who is carrying the moonlight from the curtain of my room, at this time, is like the prince who has returned from the jungle and is riding a majestic white horse, like the blue and white moonlight outside the window, hazy, shining into my heart.

Perhaps, that is love at first sight in fairy tales.

But it's just a fairy tale.
