With the sound of firecrackers, the shops on the street also closed, and the pedestrians on the road hurried in the direction of their homes.

After Xu Jingzhi and Xie Jingshi finished breakfast, they began to help, and the family happily gathered around the table to wrap dumplings. This is the first time the little girl has made dumplings, although she is not very skilled, but after wrapping it, it is quite like that.

Xie Jingshi is different.

He hadn't learned it either, but he was particularly skillful in his technique.

After a long time, the man pinched the dumplings made by the little girl under the praise of her family.

How so? The man laughed, and Xu Whale Zhi curled the corners of his lips and said with some embarrassment: "What's the matter, isn't it good-looking?" ”

"Ugly."

The little girl stopped what she was doing and stared at the man, and at this moment, the whole family seemed to hear the adjective man, and they all looked at him, and then at the dumpling that was exposed.

When he was old, he didn't hold back, so he laughed first and said, "Baby, you have to tell the truth." ”

The man responded to his grandmother with a shy smile and said, "Ugly and cute? ”

Xu Whale smiled lightly: "Who told you the truth?" ”

I don't know when, the family has changed the subject.

Xu Chang asked: "Little whale, Xiangyu still comes to our house to watch the Spring Festival Gala this year?" ”

Although they are an old family, Lin Xiangyu's family lives a little farther away. But more than ten years ago, every time they had lunch during the Chinese New Year, they would gather at Xu Whale's house to watch the Spring Festival Gala, because at that time, only Xu Whale's family had a TV.

Later, Jiang Yu's father inadvertently made an investment, made a fortune, worked hard in the city for two years, and stabilized the family business. I took my family into the city and went back to the team.

Xu Chang was also transferred to the county seat as a teacher due to work reasons. Lin Hai also wanted to join in the fun, so he took his family to rent a house in Linchuan, and made money by running a big truck every day, but then something happened, and the bad news came, and Grandma Lin has been in a state of collapse and bedridden since then.

Xu Jingzhi shook his head and joked by the way: "It shouldn't be coming...... She now has a TV in her house. ”

Ning Xi tapped the little girl's forehead with her floury hand and said, "Silly boy, what are you talking about?" ”

Xu Jingzhi opened a social software, put the chat page in front of everyone, and said, "I want to accompany grandma." ”

Actually, she had already asked.

……

At night, the lights were bright, and the snowflakes fell outside, but fortunately, it was not too big, and bursts of firecrackers gradually sounded outside, and the excited shouts of children could be heard in the alley from time to time.

Xie Jingshi looked at Xu Whale and said seriously: "What are your wishes for the New Year?" ”

The little girl said with a smile in her eyes: "Guess." ”

Fool, actually......

It has been achieved.

The man was really thinking about it, and said thoughtfully: "Linchuan University of Political Science and Law was admitted...... Then ...... next."

The little girl didn't have to think about it, she knew that he couldn't guess, so she simply showdowned: "Avenge my Uncle Lin and defend justice with the law, I believe ......"

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp and old voice came.

"Zhuan'er, you hurry up and bring your brother, I have to come to you."

It was the diminutive grandmother who caught her eye.

Further down.

A small child who is only one meter long.

"Nian Nian ......" Xu Whale Zhi slowly squatted down, stretched out his hand to the little boy who was wrapped like a ball, and ran briskly for many years, accompanied by a sweet voice: "Grandma, you go, I won't go back." ”

Grandma nodded happily and said, "Okay, grandma is gone, don't forget to ask your sister tomorrow for the New Year's money." ”

After speaking, he said to Xu Jingzhi again: "Zhuan'er, be careful, don't hurt us and I'll leave every year." ”

"Grandma walks slowly."

"Sister, can we play with firecrackers?"

Xie Jingshi squatted down and said, "Little brat, call my brother to listen." ”

She didn't speak for many years, she just hugged Xu Jingzhi's neck tightly and whispered, "Sister, can I not shout?" ”

"You kid...... "The man rarely touches the little boy, and he is a little confused.

Xu Jingzhi smiled slightly: "Yes, but my sister heard that children who understand politeness will shout." ”

For many years, he looked directly at Xu Jingzhi and said: "My sister likes to be polite, so I must also be polite." ”

Turning his head, he quickly shouted hello brother.

"The little kid is quite polite." The man snorted coldly.

"I'm not called a little brat, I'm called for many years."

The child's personality was not at all like his sister's, and the man was amused, and said, "Okay, okay, every year." ”

Xu Whale Zhi took his little hand for many years and asked gently: "Nian Nian, let's go find Sister Jiang Yu, okay?" ”

"Do you want to play with firecrackers?"

"That's right."

……

Jiang Yu's house is opposite, just across the road. Two men crossed the street with a child.

In the living room, Jiang Yu and Xie Ping were lying on the sofa and playing, looking at Grandma Jiang who was busy on the side, while frantically peeling melon seeds, Xu Whale Zhi smiled and shouted: "Grandma Jiang." ”

Grandma Jiang put down the work in her hand, looked at the little girl, and said in a musical voice: "It's our little whale, eat melon seeds." ”

Xie Jingshi also echoed: "Grandma Jiang is good." ”

Grandma Jiang was naturally thin, her face was already full of wrinkles, and her hair was gray, but she looked extremely energetic.

"This is Xiao Shi, I've been listening to Ah Yu for a day." Grandma Jiang said.

"Well, yes. By the way, Grandma Jiang, hasn't Grandpa Jiang come back for the New Year? Xu Whale asked generously.

Grandma Jiang frowned again and said, "I'm over 60 years old, and I still stay in the company all day, and I don't want to go home, don't you say that it's enough for the company to have Ah Yu's father alone......"

When Jiang Yu heard this, he got up and walked over: "Grandma, they are very busy, or you can go back with us after the New Year." ”

……

Xie Ping threw a few oranges at Xie Jingshi, and the man took them and stuffed them for many years.

Xie Ping hooked his fingers towards many years, took out the bottle of milk from the cardboard box, and said, "Come here." ”

After many years of looking at Xu Whale Zhi, I saw the little girl nodding, and she had an idea, and then stared at the man on the sofa and shouted, "Thank you." ”

"Aang." The man casually leaned back on the couch and teased for many years.

Xu Jingzhi walked closer, picked up Xie Ping's car key from the table and shook it in front of him: "You help take the child first, let's go to the car to take down the fireworks." ”

The man didn't speak, as if acquiescing.

Xie Jingshi put a scarf around the little girl again: "It's snowing outside." ”

The little girl smiled and did not speak.

Jiang Yu walked over from the side and kicked Xie Ping on the sofa, his voice was a little angry: "Hurry up and give him the milk, how old is it, and tease the child." ”

After many years, he took the milk before he spoke: "Why did Sister Zhuan'er go?" ”

Xie Pingqing frowned lightly, repeating the words he had just said many years ago: "Zhuan'er? ”

Jiang Yu shook his head and said with a solemn expression: "Every year, I want to call Sister Little Whale." ”

"Why, but grandma calls her that?"

Jiang Yu thought about it for a long time, probably considering that he was still a child for many years, and he didn't understand this old patriarchal thinking at all. It's not a tactful and serious way to educate children, he moved his big eyeballs and said: "Every year, Sister Xiaojing doesn't like this name, can we change the name?" ”

"Okay, if you don't like it, don't shout, grandma, if you call me in the future, I'll hit grandma." For many years, he answered Jiang Yu's words seriously.

"It's so good every year, Sister Jiang Yu will help you poke the straw."

Xie Ping looked at it expressionlessly on the side, and I have to say that Jiang Yu still has a set of ways to educate children.

Outside at this moment.

The little girl stretched out her hand and tried it, and said, "No." ”

The man looked sideways and was silent.

The little girl looked at the thin layer of snow on the ground and sighed, "It's so cold." ”

Xie Jingshi: Cold? Where is it cold? Hinting at me?

The little girl glanced at the man, and before the little girl could finish speaking, the man's big hand took the little girl's hand and put it in his pocket.

Xu Whale was stunned for three seconds, tilted his head sideways, and curled his lips and said:

"I heard that Hatsuyuki can make a wish, do you believe it?"

"I want to be with you all the time."

The man nodded his head, and the sound of firecrackers in the street was piercing, and it came in bursts.

When she arrived at a dark alley, Xu Jingzhi heard a wail, and in a trance, she unconsciously clenched the man's hand, Xie Jingshi's heart tightened, and he laughed secretly, and unconsciously, the distance between the two was closer. The man faintly felt his heart beating faster and faster.

Xie Jingshi: Should you hug it at this time?

The man was just about to do it, but the little girl suddenly broke free of her hand and ran towards a light, and a golden retriever dog was so frightened that he cowered at the door, and every time the sound of firecrackers sounded, the dog was frightened.

The man frowned, wanting to see what the little girl wanted to do. The next second, he was startled by the scene in front of him, and he blinked, trying to confirm the truth of all this.

I saw the little girl put her hand on the golden retriever's ear, and muttered, "Don't be afraid, it's just a little louder." ”

The man stared at him and couldn't help laughing, he approached slowly, squatted down, put his hand on the little golden retriever's body, stroked it twice, and said, "Stupid dog, I'm afraid of this, and you want me to ...... Girlfriend. The man looked at the little girl.

Xu Whale smiled shallowly: "The dog's hearing is already sensitive, so it will naturally be afraid of such a sound." ”

The man stroked the dog's hand, stopped suddenly, and said, "Aren't you afraid that it will bite you?" ”

The sound of firecrackers in the sky disappeared, and the golden retriever seemed to understand the conversation between the two, and began to scream at the man.

The man reacted quickly, quickly removed the little girl's hand, grabbed the little girl's clothes and ran to the road, and took it to a bright place, the man carefully checked the back of the little girl's hand, and said, "Not all dogs are the same as Xie Ping." ”

"Huh?" The little girl looked up.

"Coax Mao and it's smooth."

The man secretly said: It should have hurt the dog just now.

"Let's go, go get the fireworks"

……

When I came back, it was already early in the morning, and at this time, many years had already fallen asleep, and the four of them were New Year's Eve together, and the clock rang at zero o'clock.

Xu Jingzhi and Xie Jingshi stood under a very thin ginkgo tree in the courtyard of Jiang Yu's house, setting off the last few fireworks, and at this time, Xie Ping and Jiang Yu had just come back from packing up their things outside the door.

I happened to see two people under the ginkgo tree.

Jiang Yu took out his mobile phone and pointed it at the two, pushed Xie Ping and said with a smile:

"You go through the back door and kick a tree."

"What?"

"If you want to go, you will go."

Xie walked over with his hands in his pockets, and he was really swaggering.

It's like saying again: I don't care what opportunity Jiang Yu wants to create for you. Let me kick the tree and I will kick the tree.

The thin snow on the ginkgo trees fell one after another. Xie Jingshi's eyes were quick, and he hugged the little girl into his arms.

Jiang Yu, who was still scolding just now, thinking that everything had been messed up by Xie Ping, laughed out loud: "Perfect." ”

Click, a photo was born.

In the picture, the man is wearing a cotton dress carefully selected by the little girl, and tightly hugs the little girl into his arms, and the picture is beautiful. There was still a young man with his hands in his pockets who didn't have time to hide, staring at the two of them in a daze.
