Lin Wenxi stretched his waist and kicked the quilt, a gust of cold wind got into his neck, he sank down again, buried himself in the quilt, touched his side, and Zhao Yuan was gone.

Suddenly, Lin Wenxi felt that his neck was itchy again, and he found that both sides of his neck were already covered with large and small cotton fabrics, including scarves, sweaters, and blankets, which were tightly blocked, so that even if he moved hard at night, his shoulders would not be frozen. Lin Wenxi smiled a little sweetly, he couldn't help but roll in the quilt, and felt that the place where his feet were warm and heavy, and when he came out, it turned out that his feet were also covered with large and small blankets and coats, and some of them had been kicked to the ground by himself.

Lin Wenxi was embarrassed to sleep again, got dressed in the quilt, closed his eyes and made up his mind for a long time before getting up. I made the bed again, folded the quilt into a square tofu block like a military training, and folded the blanket and sweater one by one.

Because he slept very well at night, Lin Wenxi was very energetic, walked out of the room, went around the living room, and saw a rice cooker on the table, but there was no one. After walking around for a long time, Lin Wenxi saw that at the back door of the house, a shop had been opened, and Zhao Yuan was selling firecrackers in Zhangluo, obviously there were many customers, and he was a little busy for a while.

"It's like you haven't slept well in ten years, and I can't help but test you if you're breathing when you wake up in the morning!" Zhao Yuan greeted the guests and turned around to joke.

"I hope you didn't try it with your mouth!" Lin Wenxi pretended to sink his face. Zhao Yuan remembered the slap during the training, and couldn't help but snort.

Zhao Yuan opened the bag very quickly, blew to make it expand, put the firecrackers in, asked the customer why he bought the cannon, and pasted a pair of big red double happiness words on the front and back of the packaging bag, saying that the four joys are coming, the first happiness is over, the second happiness is the newlywed, the third happiness is the harvest year, and the four happiness will hold the children and grandchildren.

The customer smiled from ear to ear, hugged the firecracker and paid for it contentedly.

Lin Wenxi's neck and eyes straightened when he heard this, and his jaw almost didn't fall.

When he was not busy, Zhao Yuan pressed Lin Wenxi to the table in the posture of escorting the prisoner, and opened the rice cooker, which was boiling hot sweet potato porridge. When Lin Wenxi saw the orange-yellow sweet potato, he couldn't help it, and when Zhao Yuan helped him serve it, he picked up the spoon and was about to stuff it into his mouth, but his head was smashed by Zhao Yuan again.

Zhao Yuan said angrily: "Slow down, it's very hot." ”

"Did you bully me after you moved into your house?" Lin Wenxi raised his head with some dissatisfaction and looked at Zhao Yuan angrily.

This expression has never seen Lin Wenxi, Zhao Yuan was happy in his heart, quickly stretched out his index finger and thumb, and pinched Lin Wenxi's bulging mouth like this. I only heard the sound of "biu", like a strip of cloth torn, and a piece of soup was squeezed out of Lin Wenxi's mouth and sprinkled all over the table.

Lin Wenxi was excited, stood up and was about to scuffle Zhao Yuan, but when he heard a bang, the ceramic bowl fell to the ground, shattered, and there was porridge all over the ground. Lin Wenxi frowned and felt sorry for this bowl of porridge, and was worried that when he first came to Zhao Yuan's house, he was ugly on this trip, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed. Zhao Yuan quickly found a dustpan broom, swept it in, and prepared to pour it into the garbage bag in the corner.

"Wait." Lin Wenxi shouted, found a newspaper from the low cabinet, retrieved the broken porcelain piece bit by bit, put it in, and asked Zhao Yuan for transparent glue, sealed it carefully, thought about it, and pasted a note with the words "Be careful of glass slag" before putting it in the garbage bag.

Zhao Yuan was a little puzzled.

"Lest they cut their hands when they pick up the garbage." Lin Wenxi explained.

Zhao Yuan's heart moved, nodded, and said, "Your mother is so kind. ”

Lin Wenxi crossed his hands on his hips and said, "I admit that your conclusion is correct, but!" At this time! You! Shouldn't I be said to be kind? ”

Zhao Yuan smiled: "If there is a mother, there must be a son." ”

Lin Wenxi snorted, looked for another bowl, scooped up the porridge, and stayed away from Zhao Yuan, hiding aside and eating.

Zhao Yuan looked at Lin Wenxi, who was no longer alone with the school, and went to help the business with peace of mind, and came back to clean up the dishes and chopsticks after a while.

After a busy day, until seven or eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Wenxi helped Zhao Yuan to take back the firecrackers, and asked, "Why are you the only one in your house all the time?" ”

"The men are doing business outside, and the women don't know where to go." Zhao Yuan said casually.

"Are you all these firecrackers that you came back for the past few days?" Lin Wenxi couldn't help but be amazed.

"Yes, there is a fixed purchase point at the beginning of each year, and there is also a special person to transport, and those who can't be sold can also be returned, in fact, it is some contacts saved for several years, helping each other and doing manual work." Zhao Yuan said.

Lin Wenxi listened to him easily, but he was thinking about it, how much money is needed to purchase goods, what kind of car is needed for transportation, how to pass in case of inspection, how to ensure the safety of firecrackers, how to explain the use of firecrackers to customers, and how to store them in the house, etc., compared to himself, Lin Wenxi looked at Zhao Yuan's shoulder, and couldn't help but sigh.

"You feel sorry for me, don't you?" Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Who feels sorry for you, I feel sorry for these firecrackers that haven't been sold yet!" Lin Wenxi said to himself, pushed open the front door of the house, and a cool wind blew, and there was already a world of ice and snow outside.

Lin Wenxi snorted the cold air, rubbed his hands, and stared blankly at the flat snow, the rut of a bicycle stretched all the way to the alley in the corner of the yard, and several children were building snowmen in the other corner of the alley, and many of them had been piled up, but each one seemed to have no eyes, and only picked two eye sockets with his hands.

At this time, if there are a few marbles... Lin Wenxi suddenly became naughty.

Zhao Yuan didn't expect Lin Wenxi to be almost eighteen years old, and he was such a naughty boy, so he had to look for glass marbles for this child. None of the boys who grew up in the countryside had a collection of glass marbles, but as they grew older, they gradually put the glass marbles into the dusty hearts of teenagers and sealed them in some boxes of the past. Zhao Yuan returned to the room, saw the quilt that was very well folded, nodded with satisfaction, praised Lin Wenxi for his virtuous help, was pinched by Lin Wenxi's arm, and squatted down satisfied, from the bottom of an old-style desk, he struggled to find a rusty iron box. When I opened it, it was full of glass marbles of various colors, red, green, white and blue. The moment Zhao Yuan opened the box, Lin Wenxi was a little stunned, such a scene, he seemed to be familiar.

Sometimes I am walking on the road and see someone, do something, say something, but it seems to be similar, as if it was once. But there has never been such an immersive dream as today, as a person who has woken up, looking at everything in the dream, knowing that he has experienced it, but waking up from the dream is parting, but he has never been able to think about when and where those things happened.

"Why are you stunned?" Zhao Yuan pushed Lin Wenxi, grabbed a handful of marbles, and asked, "Is it enough?" Don't lose to the kids out there. ”

、

"Isn't there a black one?" Lin Wenxi asked.

Zhao Yuan poured the marbles into the quilt and spread them out, Lin Wenxi couldn't help but feel a little sorry for the fruits of his morning's labor.

There are more than a hundred marbles, which almost include all colors, but there is no black, Lin Wenxi was slightly disappointed, sighed, and Zhao Yuan had already run out of the door.

Lin Wenxi didn't stop it, but saw that there was an extra line of footprints in the snow, stretching straight to the alley not far away, and the alley was facing outward, and there was another street.

Waiting left and right, and not seeing Zhao Yuan come back, Lin Wenxi couldn't help but cover the door and ran out to look.

Along the way, I answered the phone calls of Hongxuan and my mother respectively, and it was easy to deal with the past, but I found that I was going deeper and deeper unconsciously, and I didn't know how many turns I made!! The first reaction was to call Zhao Yuan, remembering Zhao Yuan's evil smile, he couldn't get angry, he hurriedly looked for it, and accidentally collided with a person Manmu, and at first glance, it was Zhao Yuan who was full of doubts.

Lin Wenxi shrugged his shoulders and made a relaxed gesture, Zhao Yuan grinned: "Lost, right?" ”

"Whoever is lost, you are lost!" Lin Wenxi said boldly.

"Oh, yes, I'm lost, so you can lead the way and help me find it." Zhao Yuan couldn't hide the smile on his face.

"You!" Lin Wenxi was a little angry, he stomped his feet and hung his head hatefully, saw Zhao Yuan's shoes, looked at the snow again, looked up to follow the footprints, walked in front, and after a while, he really found the courtyard of Zhao Yuan's house.

"As smart as you, why are you sometimes stupid like there is no lower limit to your IQ." Zhao Yuan couldn't help sighing, squatted next to the child who was still building a snowman, and smiled and inlaid the black glass marbles in the eyes of the snowman, just like the finishing touch, the snowman had jet-black eyes, and his body looked even more crystal white, and in the moonlight, it seemed to have a glow.

Several children clapped their hands and laughed happily, and begged Zhao Yuan to fill in the eyes of the snowman one by one. Zhao Yuan finished the snowman and distributed the remaining beads to each child.

Lin Wenxi looked at the children who were chattering around him and Zhao Yuan, and saw the sweat on Zhao Yuan's neck, and his nose couldn't help but be slightly sour. He must have run all the way to buy marbles, and he specifically asked for black ones, and he disappeared for more than half an hour, how many streets should he have run?

The two squatted together and built a few snowmen with the children, Lin Wenxi wrote a "yuan" word behind a snowman, and carved a "stream" word, the two snowmen stood side by side, the moonlight was like practice, the snow night was like silver, and in a dazzling pure color fluorescent flash, Lin Wenxi was slightly distracted.

"I think the one on the left is so much more handsome." Zhao Yuan grabbed Lin Wenxi's shoulders.

"I think so too." Lin Wenxi relaxed, his neck was slightly leaning on Zhao Yuan's arm, indescribably relaxed and comfortable, like returning to the courtyard of his childhood, where he had the happiest time.

The two stood for a while, but saw one of the little girls covering the snowman engraved with the word "stream" with a red oiled paper bag, making it into a small skirt, and found two small strips of cloth to tie them into a pair of bows, and smiled sweetly: "This is my wife." Lin Wenxi's face suddenly turned red with shame, slapped Zhao Yuan hard, and ran back towards the house.

"Is this my fault? You build your own snowman as if you were painting, and you pile it up according to the people, and pile the other one so thin... Zhao Yuan shouted and chased after him, and saw Lin Wenxi standing thoughtfully under the lantern.

When I came last night, the lantern was like day, a red warmth, and during the day, I accidentally saw that the lantern was still on, and I thought it was on for twenty hours.

"Isn't electricity wasted? Why don't you turn it off? Lin Wenxi said and looked around for switches.

"The lantern doesn't have a switch." Zhao Yuan said slowly.

"Why?"

"Hmmm... It's always on. ”

"Oh... Lin Wenxi seemed to believe Zhao Yuan easily, and asked again: "Auntie, why didn't I see it?" ”

Zhao Yuan felt a sharp pain in his heart, whether Lin Wenxi was a coincidence or deliberate, he easily connected two closely related things, and that was the pain of Zhao Yuan's life.
