Just after half past eight, there was a sound of the door opening in the yard, and Qu's mother came in with an empty fruit basket.

"Shake, come out and give mom a hand!"

An unfamiliar voice came, and Daxue instantly shrunk his ears again and looked around vigilantly.

"Hurry up, my mom is back......"

Qu Shao picked up Daxue and stuffed it into Xia Chengxi's arms, Daxue poked his head out, and was forcibly pushed back by Qu Shao.

"Heavy snow, you must not make a sound, you can't let my mother find out about you, do you hear me? Otherwise, you'll be thrown out. ”

Daxue was a little aggrieved and whimpered, as if he understood.

"Okay, you can go quickly......" Xia Chengxi urged.

Qu Shao didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly went out.

Soon there was the sound of Qu Sha helping his mother to work in the yard, and the heavy snow shrank in Xia Chengxi's clothes, trembling a little.

"Don't be afraid...... It's fine. Xia Chengxi stroked its round head and comforted, "You won't be thrown out." ”

Daxue stretched out her little tongue and licked her hand, and her round eyes drooped down like a child who had done something wrong.

Qu Ma's voice sounded outside: "What kind of smell?" Who's eating canned fish? ”

There was silence for two seconds, and then a stammering voice came: "No, no one?" The sunset is coming, and it may ...... She's just eaten canned fish, right? ”

Xia Chengxi: "......"

Qu shakes, you're a pig!

Doesn't that lead people into the house?

Sure enough, Qu's mother immediately said, "The evening is coming?" It just so happened that I had something for her to take home. ”

Finished...... Barbie Q too.

The footsteps in the courtyard gradually moved in, and Xia Chengxi heard Qu shaking in the incoherent rambling, and her heart rose to her throat.

The door was pushed open, and Xia Chengxi held up a book in front of her.

"Xixi, read a book?"

Qu's mother smiled and spoke very gently.

"Aunt Qu, you're back! Business is going well today, right? The heavy snow in her arms moved, and Xia Chengxi hurriedly pressed it and pretended to sit up straight.

"It's been good lately!" Qu's mother responded with a smile: "By the way, are you hungry?" Shall I fry a rice cake for you to eat? ”

"Uh, no, I'm not hungry, I'm full for dinner today......"

Xia Chengxi looked at Qu Shao, and Qu Shao hurriedly agreed: "Yes! Mom, we're not hungry...... Don't bother us reading! What about this study......

Qu's mother glanced at her suspiciously, and said in her heart, When did you take the initiative to study?

"No, why does your house smell so fishy? Did you two eat canned fish just now? ”

"Uh...... It's not canned fish, it's fish cakes! I brought a little bit of the New Year's snacks that our family bought to eat with Shasha. ”

"That's it! We're such good kids who know how to share......"

Heavy snow arched Xia Chengxi's hand through his clothes, Xia Chengxi didn't dare to move, and hugged it firmly.

"By the way, I heard from your mother that she plans to send you abroad to college, right?"

Qu shook her head and looked at Xia Chengxi, the speed was so fast, Xia Chengxi was worried that she would twist her neck.

"Well, this matter hasn't been decided yet......

"Not yet? How did I hear from your mom that she was already in contact with the school and was going to arrange for you to go abroad for an interview in the near future? ”

Qu Shao stared at Xia Chengxi intently, his eyes were unbelievable.

"Uh-uh, not yet! Me, I haven't decided whether to go or not......"

"Harm! What are you thinking about, kid? What a great thing it is to study abroad! You are smart when you are young, not like we are stupid and unruly, and your family conditions are also supportive, don't hesitate if you want your aunt to say, study abroad with a layer of gold, and return to China in the future without worrying about finding a good job, this is a lifelong thing......"

"Uh, I know Aunt Qu, I'll think about it......"

Xia Chengxi couldn't dare to look at Qu Shao's eyes.

"Mom, didn't you say there's something for Xixi to bring back?"

"Oh, yes! At sunset, my aunt made some rice cakes, remember to bring them when you go back today, and give them to your mother to taste. ”

The heavy snow in his arms seemed to finally be unable to hold it back, and he meowed loudly.

But at this moment, Qu Ma's mobile phone rang, and the most dazzling national style ringtone perfectly covered the cry of heavy snow.

"Hey, hey, playing cards? Hit! Who's going to fight? Oh oh, I'll be right here! ”

Qu's mother answered the phone, explained a few words, and left in a hurry.

It wasn't until the sound of the courtyard door closing came that Qu Shaoyao and Xia Cheng came back to their senses, glanced at each other, and let out a long exhale.

"Scared the hell out of me—"

Qu Shao's legs were weak, and he sat down on the stool. Xia Chengxi was also frightened, she couldn't hold the snow anymore, and let go of her hand.

Heavy Snow regained its freedom, threw itself on the bed and rolled happily, it seemed to be completely accustomed to the environment, licked its paws, and snorted happily.

Every New Year's Day, the parents of Hualing Lane will organize a game of cards, and they will play until late at night, so it seems that Aunt Qu should not come back too early tonight, and the heavy snow is temporarily safe.

Xia Chengxi, who was relieved, stood up and prepared to slip away: "The alarm is lifted, then I will go home first." ”

"Stop."

Qu shook and glared at her, looking ready to ask the teacher.

"You liar!"

Xia Chengxi: "......"

"How do you talk to your sister?"

"Hmph, it was!" Qu Shao is rarely so reasonable: "You want to study abroad and hide such a big thing from me, if my mother didn't say it today, I wouldn't have known it at all!" ”

Xia Chengxi was a little weak-hearted, but she still said stiffly: "When did I hide it from you?" Didn't I mention this to you last time I was on the rooftop? You forgot? ”

Qu Shao thought about it, as if she vaguely remembered that Xia Chengxi had mentioned it, but she was even more angry: "What you told me at that time was that godmother, she was just on a whim, and she wouldn't really send you to study abroad!" ”

"And you said you didn't want to go at all! Because you don't know the place well, it's not interesting at all, and you don't want to part with us! ”

"I don't want to go...... I don't want to be separated from you......"

"Then why did your godmother even contact you with the school, and she was going to send you abroad for an interview in the near future? You haven't mentioned a word of this to me! If my mom doesn't say it today, how long are you going to hide it from me??? ”

Xia Chengxi sighed, not knowing how to explain to Qu Shaosha.

She always wanted to solve this matter by herself, so that her mother would dispel the idea of sending her to study abroad. But since the agreement of the top 100 in the final exam was not reached, it made her mother more actively promote this matter, and in just a few days, even the school was almost connected.
