Chapter Twenty-Four: Snowy Winter

My parents and sister came back from France in the summer for the Chinese New Year, and I moved back home.

The family is lively, and when I have time in the summer, he pesters me to go shopping, saying that he finally has the opportunity to support domestic products.

My mother urged me day and night to ask me if I had a girlfriend and whether I had put marriage on the agenda, which aroused the loss and pain in my heart.

Sometimes, standing in the yard, looking at the snow and fog, I think of Meng Xing, where we live is separated by a few streets, and it doesn't even take 20 minutes to walk, but it's hard to see each other.

Our intersection is like a past before we have time to fall in love, the process is a little complicated and so short.

The snowy night was so quiet that you could hear the sound of the heartbeat, and the snowflakes drifted in through the windows, freezing through the heart and lungs, and this winter was especially cold. A local TV station is broadcasting a love soap opera, the female protagonist cries day and night, and the male protagonist always takes the opportunity to rub oil.

When I can't sleep, I watch it all night, and occasionally I am pulled back to reality by the sound of firecrackers outside.

How I wish I could enter a dream with beautiful scenery, and when I wake up, the snow will stop and the sky will clear and I will see a clear blue sky.

The only memories of that dreary season were a dog and a broken guitar.

A mixed-breed "string" dog went crazy on the streets of the city, biting more than 20 passers-by and fleeing before the police arrived. The dog was wanted by the police on television, radio and newspapers throughout the city, and the dog was portrayed as a nocturnal demon, causing panic throughout the city.

After the police pursued and the masses enthusiastically reported, the mad dog was blocked in a dead end, passers-by A and passers-by B and Ding identified the dog, people confirmed that the dog was correct, the dog was killed, and the dying screams were broadcast throughout the city through television.

Later, someone came out to complain for the dog and said that the dog was not guilty, and restored the truth of the matter: first, passer-by A met the dog on the street, in order to pretend to be heroic in front of his girlfriend, he took a brick and hit the dog's head with a headache, and the dog fought back for self-defense, and the passer-by A was physically exhausted, fled in defeat, lost a piece of thigh meat and called the police to say that a mad dog was found.

Passerby B had a tryst with his lover at the corner of the square, and found that the dog was peeping around, and was still eating a dirty and smelly sole in his mouth, in order to improve the tryst environment, passer-by B stood up and raised his hand to intimidate the dog, and the dog opened his mouth again in anger, and passer-by B lost a small piece of buttocks meat, and the lover fell and knocked out a tooth, all of which told the police that they were injured by the dog.

Passerby C passed by and saw this scene, wanted to see righteousness and bravery, picked up a branch to scare the dog, was barked by the dog, passerby C hurriedly climbed the tree, but because he had not practiced for many years, his skills were unfamiliar, he fell off the tree and injured his waist, claiming to be injured by the dog.

After that, after the police chased and the TV rendered, everyone hit the dog when they saw it, and the dog finally became a mad dog, ran away, saw people bite, saw dogs bite dogs, and was finally killed.

Soon after the dog's death, an American's guitar was lost, and after the efforts of the 110 command center and countless police officers, the guitar was recovered for the American before dawn, and the loss was recovered.

According to Ran Jing, that night, there were three serious injuries in the city, two drunken people froze to death, two robberies, five thefts, and a large number of illegal transactions, all of which were unsolved.

Before the Chinese New Year, there was no more valuable news in the local area.

Snow dominated everything that winter.

On the morning of New Year's Day, the snow stopped. It wasn't clear yet, and the streets were already icing.

After breakfast, I went to pay New Year's greetings to my aunt. Every year, the criminal police of the Municipal Public Security Bureau have to come to pay New Year's greetings to my aunt on the first day of the new year, and Meng Xing has joined the criminal police team and may come.

As soon as I arrived, Ma Hanyu came with the officers of the criminal police team of the city bureau and the leaders of the sub-bureau, they talked loudly and laughed and rushed in, Chen Xiao and I stood at the door to greet me, Meng Xing walked in between two female policemen, she was wearing a thick down jacket, a coffee-colored scarf around her neck, and wrapped herself tightly in her clothes.

She and several policewomen said in unison: "Wang Ju, Happy New Year!" ”

The old aunt responded with a smile: "Happy New Year!" Good luck! ”

The living room was full of people, on the sofa, on the chairs, and even on the heater there were policemen.

Meng Xing sat on the sofa and teased Mengmeng with the policewomen, they secretly stuffed red envelopes into Mengmeng's pockets, and Ran Jing saw it at a glance, she ran over and snatched the red envelopes and stuffed them back to Meng Xing, and the male police officer behind also took the opportunity to start stuffing red envelopes for Mengmeng.

Ran Jing couldn't stop it, and shouted for Chen Xiao to help, but Chen Xiao pretended not to hear it and handed cigarettes around. A female police officer poked Ran Jing's waist, Ran Jing screamed and laughed, she fought back while laughing, and shouted in her mouth: "Director Wang, someone bribed the policeman's family, you don't care!" ”

My aunt was preparing candy for everyone, and said with a smile: "That's your family's business, take care of it yourself." ”

Then she added, "It's okay to give red envelopes to children, don't give too much, last year Mengmeng received a red envelope with a thousand in it." Who is this, giving away a quarter of the monthly salary, Ran Jing was empty for a few days, thinking that who sent the red envelope to his mother-in-law here by mistake, and the police can't take the lead in doing this. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Ran Jing pull out a red envelope and throw it to a police officer: "You take it back for me!" This is five hundred, to say the least. ”

The officer sneered and said, "Now you can't buy a few catties of meat for 500 yuan." ”

Ran Jing said: "Whatever meat you buy, you're losing weight!" ”

Meng Xing laughed with everyone, I glanced at her, and briefly met her gaze, and before I could smile at her, her eyes disappeared.

I stood aside in amazement, watching everyone talk and laugh with their wishes and joy for the new year.

Ran Jing pulled Meng Xing to make tea for everyone, and Meng Xing went into the kitchen to wash the tea kettle. I also went to the kitchen.

When I passed by a middle-aged police officer, he suddenly grabbed me and said hello: "Xia Yu! ”

I think this officer is a little familiar. He continued: "Hey, you forgot, last time at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, I also checked your ID card, and I almost thought you were a bad person, and in the end, Meng Xing went downstairs to help you clarify." ”

Chen Xiao's classmate, Li Wei, director of the Binhe District Public Security Bureau, coaxed beside him: "Wang Tao, don't do the criminal police, transfer the household registration department, even the family members of the director must be investigated, and if you meet the parents of our little policemen, you will be punished if you don't get it right." ”

Wang Tao responded to Li Wei disdainfully: "You still said that I, last time, Lu Fei's father, who had been a special soldier, drank too much and went to your branch to find his son, and you shot if you didn't agree with each other, how many people were overturned?" In the end, it wasn't the dog that was subdued! ”

Everyone laughed.

Meng Xing came out of the kitchen, Ran Jing took the teapot to make tea, and Meng Xing sat down in the crowd again.

Until Ma Hanyu left with the criminal police, I didn't have a chance to talk to her. When everyone left, Chen Xiaoran and I went downstairs to see it off, and Meng Xing was caught in the crowd and waved at us.

Chen Xiao said: "Xia Yu, I just remembered, you and Meng Xing don't seem to be talking today, you gave away all the food for nothing?" ”

Ran Jing glared at me and Chen Xiaohu and asked suspiciously, "Chen Xiao, what you mean by hearing this is that you have been staring at Meng Xing today!" Go home and make it clear to me. ”

Chen Xiaolin went upstairs and patted me on the shoulder dejectedly and said helplessly: "You don't understand my brother-in-law's pain. ”

Wandering alone on the road, the streets are deserted, only children are setting off firecrackers. As I walked, I was feeling cold and numb as I breathed outside at minus a few degrees Celsius, and the wind whistled across my cheeks.

Walking aimlessly for more than half an hour, I received greeting text messages from Lao Tian, Ning Meng and other friends, Li Shang asked if I had time to play cards together, but I didn't reply. Zixuan also called, the phone rang for a long time, I didn't answer, I felt bored, I just wanted to walk by myself.

Walked to the riverside and stopped, the water surface was covered with a thick layer of ice, covered with snow, looking from a distance, a white vast, lifeless, riverside branches made a noise in the wind, some stumps and dead leaves could not withstand the snow pressure and broke to the ground.

A few children were building a snowman by the river, planting firecrackers on top of the snowman's head, blowing a hole in the snowman's head, and the children screamed excitedly.

When I walked along the river to the alley of the maple forest, I saw a group of people surrounding the mouth of the alley, and there were men and women arguing loudly, and the female voice sounded very familiar.

Walking into the crowd, I saw Jun Jun wearing a Chinese red, his hair was wrapped in a towering bun, and his eyes were glaring at a middle-aged man, who was next to a bicycle in front of him, and glared at Jun Jun with both hands and scolded: "Little goblin, either you are fucked by a rich man, or your mother is fucked by a rich man, otherwise how can you drive such a good car, look at your face, unlike a self-reliant person who made a fortune, where are you going to go to the fly camp dog Gou Gou today, don't flash your waist anymore during the big holiday." ”

The crowd erupted in schadenfreude.

Jun Jun raised his hand and wanted to slap the man, but the man's eyes were quick, and he reached out and grabbed Jun Jun's wrist.

"Hehe, uncle, I expected that you broken shoes and goblins would have to come to this trick in a hurry." As he spoke, he twisted Junjun's arm vigorously, "I have to kneel down today, the second wife!" ”

Junjun's arm hurt so much that he was about to squat on the ground, and his mouth fought back loudly: "I drive a good car is a sugar daddy, you ride a broken bicycle, your wife must have gone to another man's bed at this time, put on small shoes for you, wear a green hat, and make you a turtle bastard!" ”

The man wanted to kick her sideways, but I went over and pushed him away, and Junjun slapped him with his other hand. The man covered his face and tried to fight back, but I pushed him away again.

He glared at me fiercely: "What the hell are you onions, what kind of Tang monk are you pretending to be when I beat the goblin!" As he spoke, he came up and grabbed me by the collar. Suddenly a fire burst out in my heart, I kicked him hard in the stomach, he fell to the ground holding his stomach, I picked up the bicycle next to him and smashed it on him, his face was bloody, lying on the ground and shouting: "Killed, help!" ”

Junjun dragged me into the car and kicked the man before leaving.

Junjun drove the car and ran away, driving to the road and she said: "On the first day of the festival, I met a porcelain toucher, which was really unlucky." ”

She looked at me and said, "Why is your face so bad, isn't it just a fight, just practice more in the future." Where you go, I'll send you. ”

Cheerful holiday music was playing in the car, and Junjun was chewing gum and shaking his head and singing.

Seeing that I didn't speak, she continued: "What's wrong with you, like being asked for a debt, looking unhappy, who is not happy about this big holiday." ”

I said, "Children are just good and carefree." ”

"Who is the child, even if I am a child, on the first day of the new year, do you have to give me a red envelope." She reached over with a hand.

"I saved your life, you are embarrassed to ask me for a red envelope, according to the rules, you have to kowtow and call uncle."

"Cut! Who asked you to save me, if you don't stop me, I will beat that man and cut off his children and grandchildren, and let his blood splash on the riverside. ”

I looked at her in Chinese red and asked, "Where are you going, wearing such a gorgeous outfit?" ”

"You're so vulgar, I'm festive! I went to my sister and went to a friend's house to pay New Year's greetings. ”

"Your sister? Which sister? ”

Junjun: "Meng Xing, didn't you peep through the cat's eye last time in my house - that female police officer." ”

After a while, she said again: "By the way, my sister asked about you last time, asked us what our relationship was, and said that I saw you drive my car to the police station." ”

I straightened up and asked, "When?" ”

Junjun glanced at me and said with a smile: "Why are you so nervous?" What's wrong? It can't be that I molested a girl in my car and was caught by the police! ”

I leaned back in my chair: "Don't tease, what do you say?" ”

Jun Jun smiled secretly: "I said-say that you are my new boyfriend!" ”

I stared at her for a long time and said, "That's what you said! How did I become your boyfriend? ”

"Why is your face so white, you won't really have anything, if you have something, you can tell me, and I will take care of it for you." Junjun parked the car on the side of the road, and when I looked up, I saw that I had arrived at the apartment building where Meng Xing lived, and the words "Very Sea" were faintly revealed under the snow.

"What kind of relationship is Meng Xing and you?" I stared at the window of Meng Xing's room and asked.

"I said she was my sister, stupid, didn't you see that we are all surnamed Meng? Hey, can you talk to me and look at me? "She pulled my ears and pulled my face towards her.

"Sisters?" After asking, I felt redundant, and I knew that they were not close by looking at their personalities.

Junjun stared at me and said, "Hey, do you like my sister?" I haven't heard of any scandals between the two of you. ”

She leaned in again and said mysteriously, "I know you two know each other." ”

I was stunned for a while and opened the car door to get out of the car, it was windy outside, and Junjun behind me said loudly: "I told Meng Xing that you are a friend of my TV buddy!" ”

I smiled back at her and said, "Happy New Year!" ”
