It took Sun Kai and me more than 40 minutes to arrive at Xiao Qing's house, much farther than we expected, because the first time we came, Xiao Qing was already waiting for us downstairs, she was wearing a long white down coat, black slacks on her legs, and her shoes were a pair of brown short wool boots.

She stamped her feet because she had been standing in the snow for a long time, her cheeks were crimson from the cold, and when she saw the two of us, she cried out, "Did you two crawl here, so slowly, the food was heated twice." I stepped forward and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, we have been walking fast, but we were confused in the front of the community, and finally a cleaning aunt told me that we were wrong, so I pointed us here." Sun Kai also came over and said, "Yes, your community here is like a labyrinth, too big to tell the direction." ”

Xiao Qing glanced at the two of us unhappily and said, "What are you waiting for, go upstairs, I'm almost freezing." ”

Then we followed Xiao Qing into the corridor, her family lives on the 16th floor, so we have to take the elevator upstairs, when the elevator just rose, Sun Kai and I involuntarily squatted for a while, Xiao Qing saw the embarrassment of the two of us, and laughed, and said: "What are you afraid of, and you can't fall." Sun Kai said in a panic: "A light flashed in front of me just now, and I felt like I was floating." I smiled and said, "Isn't it like to go from the abyss to heaven." Sun Kai nodded, Xiao Qing frowned and said: "It's very painful to live on such a high floor, when the elevator is broken, it's okay not to be in the elevator, it's miserable to be trapped in the elevator, I don't know when someone will come to fix it, and what's even more helpless is that I have to climb 16 floors to go home, it's like ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulty, unlike your family, it's heaven to open the door and run out." ”

I smiled and said: "Each has its own benefits, the bungalow is used to sleeping is really comfortable, the hot kang head burned in winter is very pleasant to lie down, but every day to watch the boiler, can not break the fire, otherwise the temperature of the house will drop quickly, especially when there is no one at home, it can not be taken lightly, otherwise the water in the heating will be a headache after freezing into ice." Sun Kai also took over and said: "Yes, once there was no one in my house, I went to school, and when I came back from school, I saw my dad using a blowtorch to bake the heater, saying that the water in it was frozen, and if I lived in the building, I would save these troubles." ”

After hearing this, Xiao Qing smiled and said, "Then I'll change it with the two of you." ”

Sun Kai and I both laughed.

After getting out of the elevator and turning a corner, she went to Xiao Qing's house, she rang the doorbell, and after a while, the door was opened, and a woman with elegant manners and a dignified posture stood at the door, she was dressed casually at home, her clear eyes were as bright as Xiao Qing's, with a trace of unmessy hair, her fair skin was very well maintained, and her faint smile dissolved all the discomfort and embarrassment.

Xiao Qing said with a relaxed expression: "Introduction, this is my mother, you can call Aunt Zhang, these two are Wang Tao and Sun Kai, and they are my iron buddies." ”

She added the word iron buddy to the back to make me very comfortable, because we have been playing together for so many years, and we have not been able to locate the exact relationship, they are friends, but beyond ordinary friends, they are small, but there are some feelings mixed in it, they are classmates, but they have never read books and written together, and some are just the boundless crazy running, fighting, and chasing, so Xiao Qing uses the word iron buddy, which is the best summary of the relationship between us.

Sun Kai first said hello to Aunt Zhang, and then handed over the gifts bought at the convenience store, I also smiled and put the things in my hand on the shoe cabinet, Aunt Zhang smiled and said: "Why are you shopping, I heard Xiao Qing say that the three of you are always playing together, my father and I are always out of the house, she is not missing your two to take care of, it should be my greetings to not be rude." ”

After changing my shoes, I said: "Aunt Zhang doesn't have to be polite, Sun Kai and I both regard Xiao Qing as a sister, these are Xiao Qing's favorite candies and chocolates, usually she always invites us to eat this and that, a little unhappy, and these are not worth anything, she just likes to eat." Sun Kai changed his shoes and walked over, and said with a smile: "Yes, Xiao Qing is our sister, and no one will bully her in the future." ”

Aunt Zhang smiled like a flower, and said with relief: "Okay, good, in the future, my daughter will not be afraid of being bullied by others when she goes out, and she will be protected by two brothers wherever she goes." ”

She hung up our coats, turned around and said, "Let's go to the living room and sit down, the meal will be ready in a moment, just heat it up." ”

The two of us nodded, and Xiao Qing and I went to the living room.

After entering the living room: "I grabbed Xiao Qing and said, isn't your father at home?" ”

Xiao Qing said with some loss after hearing this: "He has a lot of entertainment, isn't it almost the New Year, relatives and friends need to move around, even if it is not the New Year's holiday, he rarely eats at home, he is always busy with this and that, and often hears the sound of opening the door after three shifts in the middle of the night." ”

After Sun Kai and I listened, we looked at each other for a while, but neither spoke.

When I entered the door, I roughly looked around, Xiao Qing's house is very large, there are more than 200 square meters, the decoration is luxurious and elegant, the comfortable wooden floor with red sandalwood furniture, antique, the living room ceiling is light and luxurious, a European-style crystal chandelier slowly hangs down, crystal clear, the door of the north of the living room is ajar, it should be a study, there is a large wooden bookshelf inside, the books on the shelves are dazzling, all kinds of colors, the south side of the living room is an open balcony, there are several pots of unknown flowers and plants on the balcony, Walking into the flower plate, a scent of flowers wafted over, making people fall into infinite intoxication. There are three bedrooms in the northernmost part of the living room, like two master bedrooms, one auxiliary bedroom, a bathroom with white sliding doors to the west, and a kitchen to the east.

I walked to the huge glass window on the south side, looked down, the pedestrians downstairs could no longer see their faces and expressions, they were like ants moving, one would get into here, one would run over there, back and forth tirelessly, the clouds in the distance were thick, obscuring the light, dark and dull without a gap, I turned around and walked to the living room, Sun Kai and Xiao Qing were watching TV, and Pang Long's album song "Two Butterflies" was playing on TV, singing in the song: I fly with you lingeringly, fly down this red dust forever, and wait until the autumn wind rises, The autumn leaves fall into piles, and there are no regrets about withering with you.

I sat on the couch and watched together, and the rhythm of pop music was very popular with the public, and even my dad would pick a few songs he liked and hum from time to time.

When she heard Wilber Pan's "Reversing the Earth", Xiao Qing smiled and said: "This name is interesting, isn't it still a round ball how the earth flips." ”

I laughed and said, "I think it's a rock 'n' roll attitude of the singer, and the lyrics tell us to have a positive, positive outlook on life." ”

Sun Kai listened and said: "Xiao Qing is using aesthetics to explain the title of this song, and you are talking about the main principle of life again." ”

I was about to refute, Xiao Qing's mother shouted to start the meal, I looked at him and didn't speak, so I simply got up and went to help Aunt Zhang serve the dishes and get the bowls.
