201, USA, Christmas, heavy snow.

It is often said that time can obscure everything, but it can also heal everything. That's right, how old the past was, how bright the new future is.

In the blink of an eye, it was from early summer to midwinter, and on Christmas Day, it was so thick that I stepped on it and buried my shoes thickly.

This is an ordinary courtyard, and the pines and cypresses in the backyard are covered with snow, and the sky is white at a glance.

"Xiao Ran"

A clear voice came from the house, and the little boy shoveling snow downstairs looked up.

The girl upstairs was draped in beige felt, wrapped tightly and standing on the balcony on the second floor and looking down. I can't tell how old I am, at most in my early twenties.

A pair of eyes are very bright and clear, as if they have not been impregnated by the haze of this world, clear and moving.

She leaned on the railing and said to the people below, "Can you help me decorate the Christmas tree?"

The little boy was still holding the shovel, looked at the snow that had only been shoveled a little, and sighed. Just now, I disliked him for pointing fingers on the side, drove him out to shovel snow, and now I called him back again.

Xiao Ran responded and went into the house to change his shoes first.

As soon as he entered the living room, the man scurried down the stairs.

As soon as Xiao Ran saw her barefoot, he shouted, "I don't wear shoes again." ”

The other stick out his tongue, "It's so comfortable." ”

Xiao Ran found a pair of socks and handed them to her, and said with a tough attitude: "No, you must wear socks." ”

"Xiao Ran" she put on a gesture, "I'm your mother, you have to listen to me." ”

Xiao Ran immediately took out his mobile phone and made a gesture to dial, "If you don't wear it, I'll call my father now." ”

The other party immediately wilted and obediently put on his socks. Sighing, "I think the two of us have to share the same hatred and be united with the outside world." ”

Xiao Ran thanked Bumin, and said coldly: "Who secretly poured out the medicine last time, and I copied the three-character scripture with you all night." ”

Since the serious illness in early summer, she woke up in poor health, and Western medicine hurt her. Xiao Qingmo found a way to find a Chinese medicine practitioner and prescribed a prescription for her to concentrate and replenish qi, and she has been drinking it for several months.

At first, my blood was not good and I had night sweats at night, but now my face is ruddy and my physical fitness is much better.

"I'm all right, your father still forces me to drink Chinese medicine every day." Su Ruan said with little confidence: "Do you say that he is unreasonable, and he forces people to copy books if he disagrees." ”

The most important thing is that he did not let him copy with a fountain pen, but wrote small letters with a brush

Su Ruan's right hand couldn't use force, so he could only write with his left hand, and the pen couldn't hold it steadily at first. The crooked dog crawling script is the same as that of a three-year-old child.

"Help me hold the ladder." Xiao Ran saw her sad face, changed the topic, climbed the ladder, "How about hanging this here?"

"A little further to the left." Su Ruan tilted his head.

As soon as Xiao Qingmo came home with a large bag of things, he saw such a scene.

Su Ruan was wearing a beige shawl, with a ponytail and his head up, his side face was youthful and bright, and his body exuded a soft light.

The two of them focused on hanging the lamp, and Xiao Qingmo didn't notice it when he got home.

He went to the kitchen to put his things down before turning back.

Xiao Ran still saw him and shouted, "Dad is back." ”

Su Ruan turned his head and looked at Xiao Qingmo with a smile.

Like a swallow, she ran over and plunged into his arms, tilted her head and called him with a grin, "Third brother." ”

Xiao Qingmo lowered his head and pecked her red lips, and touched her hand with enthusiasm, "Didn't you go to play in the snow?"

People in their twenties are still playful. It's just that I'm not in good health now, and I'm thinking about having a snowball fight with Xiao Ran all day long.

Su Ruan was very afraid of copying the book, and shook his head again and again, "No, no, I don't believe you asked Xiao Ran." ”

Xiao Ran came down from the ladder slowly, saying that he would not testify against her.

"I'll give you a stew at noon." Xiao Qingmo took her hand and went to the kitchen, "Don't you still want to eat pork ribs?"

"Did you call Xiao Qiao" Su Soft asked him, "Is he free to come over?"

"Just contacted, he'll be over in the afternoon." Xiao Qingmo took out the ingredients from the bag and instructed Su Ruan to help deal with them. She's clumsy, and she's spilling water everywhere when she washes vegetables.

Xiao Qingmo turned his head to look at her, his apron was full of water and tomato juice, and he was a little helpless. I took a tissue and wiped her hands and asked her to do something else.

Su Soft's mood was a little low, "Am I becoming very clumsy now?"

"Is there one" Xiao Qingmo took out the frozen ribs and teased her, "Wasn't it quite agile to catch thieves a few days ago?"

Su Ruan was very embarrassed when he mentioned this, and he met a thief on the road a few days ago. She didn't say anything, she went over quietly and knocked people unconscious with a stick, and was taken to the police station.

When Xiao Qingmo went to pick her up, his face was black the whole time.

Su Ruan knew that he couldn't mention this stubble, so he hurriedly smiled and said something else.

Qiao Shendong came over with a gift, and it was Xiao Ran who opened the door.

"Dad said you could only come in the afternoon." Xiao Ran was a little surprised.

Qiao Shendong handed him the Christmas gift and sneered, "Your dad doesn't want me to come to eat, I can eat two meals, why should I only eat one." ”

Ever since Ah Soft woke up, Xiao Qingmo had been thinking about the Fa to avoid letting them meet, and he didn't know what An De was thinking.

Xiao Ran didn't express any opinion on this, and silently opened the gift. Seeing that there was a stone inside, for a moment the black man had a question mark face.

"Dinosaur egg fossils." Qiao Shendong glanced at the sparsely decorated Christmas tree and helped hang lights on it, "Don't you want it?"

Xiao Ran looked at the stone, and said in his heart, I want a real dinosaur egg, okay.

After cooking the meal, Su Ruan came out to call someone, and at a glance he saw Qiao Shendong talking to Xiao Ran with something.

When she leaned over, Qiao Shendong had already put away the things quietly.

"Ah Ruan, is the rice ready" Qiao Shendong said casually: "Xiao Qingmo's cooking skills are getting more and more regressive, why don't you go and live with me for a while." I hired a new chef and the dishes were very good. ”

"Let me see you fiddling with Xiao Ran again, just give me a plate of bitter gourd" Su Ruan ignored his clumsy cover-up and glared at him.

Qiao Shendong and Xiao Ran glanced at each other, and they both saw the information in each other's eyes. It's still scary to start a temper

After lunch, Su Ruan gathered next to Xiao Qingmo to read a book.

Xiao Qingmo held his shoulder with one hand and casually talked to Qiao Shendong about some business matters.

Qiao Shendong watched Su Ruan look at the book, and his head was little by little, like a chicken pecking rice.

Xiao Qingmo gently put down the cup in his hand, carried the person upstairs, carefully covered her with the quilt, and kissed her forehead before taking the door downstairs.

Qiao Shendong had already opened Xiao Qingmo's good wine, poured a glass and handed it to him, shaking the wine glass and asking him, "If Ah Soft keeps looking like this, will you feel bored?"

One year, two years, ten years, twenty years, for a long time, will you feel tired?

Xiao Qingmo took a sip of wine, half-squinted his eyes and said slowly: "She woke up from a nightmare last night and threw herself into my arms and cried. Joe is deep in winter, she remembers everything. She is still her, and it is her choice in what way Su Ruan is willing to live, as long as she feels comfortable. ”

A few months ago, Su Ruan, who had been sleeping for a long time, finally woke up.

In the first few days, she was fragile and sensitive, full of hostility and resistance to the outside world.

Xiao Qingmo almost thought that it was Su Ying who woke up.

But no, the woman he has loved for so many years knows too well. Her angry appearance and sad eyes were so vivid in his eyes.

No one asked her if she remembered the past, but everyone knew that she remembered it clearly.

The cold and prickly temperament that used to be gradually softened, and the smile softened a little, and the coquettish appearance was like a spring light.

"Ah Soft wants to let those things pass completely."

Qiao Shendong said so. She was originally a girl who loved to laugh and had a gentle heart. It's just that because of the trauma when I was a child, I encountered it when I was a teenager, and I became cold and thorny. Shut your heart and refuse anyone's approach.

Sometimes they think that Su Ruan is very similar to Su Ying in some places, but in fact, thinking about it, there is still a difference.

Su Ruan also became coquettish, but she just quietly hid her sharp claws, revealing her sweet side to achieve her goal. As for Su Ying, she is really soft and helpless, really delicate and helpless.

After Su Ruan's serious illness, the hidden other side was gradually revealed in front of people.

Later, Xiao Qingmo thought about it carefully, in fact, she was fifteen to eighteen years old, and the years she stayed by his side were not like this. Strong and fragile, hesitant to move forward.

If he hadn't been under house arrest in the UK, if there was no Feng Feng's affairs, they would have always been in this way of getting along, and Su Ruan would not have become so indifferent and prickly, putting on a cold and hard shell.

Speaking of which, it's back to the original distance.

In the afternoon, Su Ruan played games with Xiao Ran in the living room, and Qiao Shendong was cooking. He complained about Xiao Qingmo's declining cooking skills at noon, so Xiao Qingmo simply gave him the opportunity to be in charge.

The mobile phone on one side rang non-stop, and it was all Christmas text messages.

"You didn't even reply." Su Ruan turned his head and saw Xiao Qingmo reading a book, so he didn't pay attention to his mobile phone at all, "Bring it, I'll give it back to you." ”

Xiao Qingmo has never felt much about these festivals, and naturally he didn't pay attention to the text messages.

He casually handed the phone to Su Soft and let her play with it.

Su Ruan took the mobile phone and looked around, all of which were sent by Xiao Qingmo's collaborators. There are a few she's met before, and she should have replied.

She carefully edited the text messages and tried not to repeat them.

The new text message was an MMS message, and Xiao Qingmo was wearing a well-cut black suit and stood with a cold expression. Next to him was a woman wearing a black wrap dress, with a gentle and generous smile, and leaning slightly towards Xiao Qingmo.

The content of the text message is that I saw that this group photo was not bad, so I passed it to Mr. Xiao.
