"Xiaoxin, I miss you." Lynch got up from the bed and walked to the window, it was dark outside, and the shadow of plum blossoms in the yard could be faintly seen, and there was a continuous flash of light in the sky in the distance, and the noise on the phone set off the silence of his place.

"Well, so am I." The corners of Zhang Xin's mouth raised, and he immediately blushed, thinking, fortunately, Lynch didn't say these words in front of her, seeing her reaction, he must have to laugh at her again.

Zhang Xin still wanted to say something to Lynch, when Zhang Ran leaned out of the window and told Zhang Xin to hurry back.

"You go back first." Lynch heard Zhang Ran calling her on the phone.

"Well, okay, then I'll wait for you to come back." Zhang Xin held the phone, feeling a little reluctant.

"Okay, goodbye."

"Goodbye." There was a beep on the phone, and Zhang Xin listened to the sound of the phone disconnection for a long time before slowly putting the phone down.

There was heavy snow in the Spring Festival in the north, Zhang Xin touched her face that was blushing because of Lynch's words, and at that time, she felt like a silly little girl in love, obsessed with this relationship, and was so addicted that she couldn't extricate herself.

Lynch hung up the phone and looked out the window alone, thinking for a long time.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Xin and Zhang Ran washed up early, and the sisters held hands to Sun Cuihua, Zhang Guowei, Zhang Laotou and Zhang Laoniang to pay New Year's greetings and received a lot of red envelopes.

Zhang Xin and Zhang Ran had already discussed that they would use the money to buy some daily necessities and books for the Lin Mei sisters, and go to Lin Mei's house with Sun Cuihua in a few days, and by the way, tell Aunt Zhao that she could go to work in a restaurant after the sixth day of the first lunar month.

Zhou Ren got up early on the first day of the new year, he got dressed and knocked on Lynch's door, knocked for a long time and no one responded, so he pushed open the door and walked in, the room was empty, and the bed was neat.

"Where did you go early in the morning?" He came out of Lynch's room and into the lobby.

At this time, Lynch was sitting at the dining table eating the first meal of the New Year with Mr. Lin and Zhang Yan.

When Lynch was very young, he knew that he had to get up early on the first day of the New Year, which symbolized that he would not be lazy in the new year and always be diligent.

"I said, why aren't you in the house, it's here." Zhou Ren saw that Lynch and the others were already having breakfast, so he hurriedly walked over.

"Grandpa, Auntie, Happy New Year." Zhou Ren sat down against Lynch, and said auspicious words with his hands.

"Well, Happy New Year, let's eat quickly." Mr. Lin was wearing a red jacket printed with traditional Chinese Fu characters, and he looked a lot more energetic.

"Are you going to go to the annual meeting after dinner in a moment?" Zhang Yan, who has always been not good at words, seemed to be in a good mood at the beginning of the new year, looking at Lynch and Zhou Ren and asking.

"yes, yes, I said yesterday that I haven't been back for a long time, and I want to go shopping today." Zhou Ren gave himself a bowl of porridge and echoed.

"It's the New Year, give each of you a red envelope, and good luck in the new year." As he spoke, Old Man Lin took out two red envelopes wrapped in red paper from his pocket.

Lynch had been eating with his head buried, and after hearing Old Man Lin's words, he frowned, looked at the red envelope handed over and said, "How old am I, give the red envelope back." ”

"Okay, okay, thank you grandpa." Zhou Ren touched him with his arm without waiting for Lynch to finish speaking, and quickly interrupted him to take the red envelope from his hand.

Old Man Lin seems to be in a good mood today, he didn't care too much when he saw the red envelope being accepted, Lynch didn't speak anymore when he saw this, and the first meal of the Lin family's New Year passed relatively peacefully.

Lynch and Zhou Ren put on a thick coat after breakfast and planned to go to the annual meeting, the two walked side by side on the road, the winter in the south is not the same as in the north, the cold in the south is as wet and cold as moisture, and after walking for a while, Zhou Ren felt that his face was covered with a layer of frost.

"Hey, here you go." Zhou Ren took out the red envelope that Old Man Lin gave them during dinner this morning.

Lynch glanced at his eyes and said in a light tone, "I don't want it, you can take it all." ”

"I said, Lynch, you have gone too far, I don't know what you and the old man have had before, but since this is a piece of the old man's heart, you have to accept it, after all, he is your elder and your relative." Zhou Ren was a little angry when he saw Lynch's attitude.

Since Lynch didn't sleep all night last night, with a little fatigue on his face, he lowered his head and mouth into a line, and stood quietly on the side of the road listening to Zhou Ren.

Seeing that Lynch didn't speak, Zhou Ren sighed to himself and patted him on the shoulder.

"Brother, I know you have grievances in your heart, but you see that now the old man, at such an old age, his legs and feet are no longer flexible, I am afraid that you will regret it in the future."

Zhou Ren looked back at the Lin family's compound behind them, the blue tiles and white walls, surrounded by a curling mist, looked magnificent, but it was cold inside.

Lynch seemed to have heard what Zhou Ren said, and he tugged up on the fur collar on his coat to block the cold wind pouring in from his neck.

"Well, you can put away the red envelope for me, and I will buy some Liu Ji's peach cake and osmanthus cake at the meeting last year, the old man likes to eat that bite the most." After speaking, he turned around and patted Zhou Ren on the back, "As long as you kid has a lot of eyes, you can see everything." ”

"That's, I can't see your fancy intestines, I can still be your Lynch's brother." Zhou Ren put his hand on Lynch's shoulder and raised his chin.

The two of them played all the way when they were children, and after a while they came to the place of the annual meeting, the annual meeting was very lively, and the nearby residents came with their families to join in the fun, and the clothes people wore at that time were very single, basically black and gray, and the most conspicuous was only a yellow-brown coat, and it looked like a black and pressed group of people from a distance.

Zhou Ren and Lynch were crowded into the crowd and walked forward with the flow of people, and the annual meeting was lively, singing, buying female headdress vendors, but the most at the annual meeting were the vendors who bought things. Lynch familiarly pulled Zhou Ren into Liu Ji Pastry and bought a pound of peach cake and a pound of osmanthus cake.

"Brother Qi!" As soon as the two of them went out with the packaged pastries, they saw Zhou Hui walking towards them.

Zhou Hui always came back from studying abroad, and her clothes were also very trendy, with a white turtleneck sweater and a red wool coat together, and her hair was curled up to her shoulders.

"Yo, who is this beauty?" Zhou Ren saw Zhou Hui and quipped.

"Okay Zhou Ren, don't laugh at me." Zhou Hui's face turned red when she was said, her eyes kept staring at Lynch, and she saw the pastry that Lynch was holding in her hand.

"It turns out that you also buy pastries, and I was also thinking that Grandpa Lin likes to eat osmanthus cakes here, so I thought of coming over and buying some to see his old man this afternoon."

"Well, it's a coincidence, but you've already bought this pastry, so you don't have to bother anymore." Lynch looked at Zhou Hui, remembering what he had been thinking about recently, and his tone of voice was a little distant, but Zhou Hui didn't hear the meaning inside.

She took a step forward and grabbed Lynch's arm, "Brother Qi, you have been back for so long, and you haven't come to my house to sit, my grandfather still talks about you from time to time, and the family has prepared a meal at noon today, you and Zhou Ren will go to my house for a meal together." Zhou Hui's tone was a little girl-like, and Lynch quietly pulled his arm out of Zhou Hui's hand.

"Forget it today, the meal has been prepared at home, waiting for me and Zhou Ren to go back to eat." Lynch glanced at Zhou Hui and raised his leg to leave.

"No, you can just go to my house for a meal at noon." Zhou Hui had never seen Lynch reject him so bluntly, his eyes were red with anxiety, tears rolled in his eyes, and he opened his arms to block in front of Lynch.

Zhou Ren couldn't see girls crying the most, and when he saw Zhou Hui's posture of crying, he patted Lynch from behind.

"Otherwise, let's go to Zhou Hui's house for a meal at noon today, and call grandpa when we get to her house, saying that we won't go back at noon, and let them rest assured."

Lynch looked at Zhou Hui in front of him, heard Zhou Ren's round again, and turned his head and glared at Zhou Ren.

"You're going to play the round."

Seeing that Lynch agreed, Zhou Hui immediately changed her smile, and hurriedly dragged Lynch through the crowd to her car, opened the door and let them sit on it.
