On the night of December 31, New Year's Eve, a taxi carried a guest from afar from the airport on the outskirts of the imperial capital to the bustling city.

From international politics, the situation in the Middle East, to the domestic livelihood, and the interesting stories in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital, they are very happy to say from the driver's mouth, just like talking about cross talk.

The guest held the mobile phone tightly in his hand, thinking about the girl in his heart, looking at the night outside the car window, and responding casually.

"Little brother, last night's Fat 5 launch, did you see it? Around the launch site, there were thousands of empty alleys, and when the fire was ignited, the firelight lit up the entire night sky, which was really spectacular!" The driver talked about the hot news of the past two days.

The guest replied: "I forgot to watch the live broadcast last night, but I watched the replay today, and it was really spectacular." ”

This guest is naturally Xiao Chu.

The driver said with a smile: "Tsk, our Chinese rabbit is finally going to find Chang'e, and it is said that this time, I will bring some souvenirs from the Guanghan Palace." ”

Guanghan Palace souvenir ......

Xiao Chu remembered what was said in the news that this Fat Five launch would bring back some soil from the moon, with the word "specialty".

But if you really want to chew the words, say that it is a local specialty, it is true, there is no more earthy, more special product than this.

Xiao Chu was also in a good mood tonight, and praised with a smile: "Uncle, you are really knowledgeable, you know everything about astronomy and geography, Tiannan and Haibei, and you still keep up with the trend and pay attention to current affairs." ”

The driver's master said happily: "It's just nonsense to see the blind and poor." It is said on the Internet that the driver of our imperial capital is too good at talking, in fact, it is just to have fun, otherwise stay in the car with customers for so long, don't say anything, how boring do you say?"

Xiao Chu nodded: "Yes, but I've been to the imperial capital a few times before, and I've fought a few times, and there aren't many things like you can say, uncle, have you always been so happy?"

The driver shook his head, "No, there are troubles." No, my daughter, who only graduated from college next year, is looking for a job now, and her job has not yet been seen, so she wants to go out to rent a house and live with friends. ”

"It's for independence, distance produces beauty, moving out to live, and it can also enhance the relationship between me and her mother. ”

"Actually, I know it, it's just that I watched a TV series that has been popular on the Internet recently, what's it called? Oh, it seems to be called "Love Apartment", just after watching this, I want to learn from it, I want to join in the fun, and I don't know who made such a drama. ”

There is targeted.

Xiao Chu touched his nose and asked, "Uncle, do you think this drama is not good and has a bad atmosphere?"

The master of the fourth episode replied: "Of course not, it's just a light comedy for young people, how can it bring bad atmosphere? I just don't want my daughter to go out to live, you say that this is not married yet, you have to live separately, then after marrying someone and having a mother-in-law's family, wouldn't it be even more unseeable?"

"But I don't complain, but if I meet the director or screenwriter of "Love Apartment", I have to beat them twice, if there is no drama, maybe my daughter will not go out to live in a fuss. ”

Xiao Chu smiled and stopped talking.

He remembered that he was patronized and moved just now, and he hadn't told his family about the show in advance.

Immediately unlock the phone, log on to WeChat, and click on the profile picture of the past.

Xiao Shisanlang: In the past, your sister-in-law's program at the New Year's Day party was advanced to half past nine, so you can talk to your mother and grandmother.

Xiao Shisanlang: Don't miss it, and remember that after reading it, my grandmother asked her to rest early.

Just as Xiao Chu finished sending these two messages, he suddenly heard the driver say: "It's raining, and I don't know if it will snow tonight, it seems that the weather forecast says there is snow." ”

Xiao Chu looked sideways out of the window and found that it was indeed raining lightly, and the raindrops hit the car window, squirming.

......

Jiangyou Province, Dongjiangyuan City, Yanshan County, Dazhangshu Village.

In winter, it gets dark early, and there is no night market in the countryside, so everyone in the village finishes dinner early, gathers together, and waits for the TV series to play after half past seven.

In the three-story building of Lao Wang's house in Dazhangshu Village, Xi Xi, Liu Qianxi, and Zhong Lingling, three girls, stayed in a room on the second floor and chatted together.

Xiaopeng played games in the next room.

Adults gather in the table room on the first floor to play mahjong.

The four people who played cards today, my grandmother sat in the front seat, and the north seat sat in the north and faced south.

started and started, respectively, sat the daughter-in-law's aunt Liao Guixia, and the eldest daughter-in-law Xiao Chu's mother Wang Cuixiang.

On the opposite side sat the little girl's aunt Wang Cuifang.

All of them are women.

As for the men such as Xiao Chu's father, brother-in-law, and two uncles, as well as the second aunt Wang Cuifen, they were watching from the side.

At this time, my grandmother is sitting in the village, don't look at the old lady who is eighty or two this year, but she is very healthy, her eyes are not dazzled, her ears are not ringing, and she is in good spirits.

When I was a child, I watched the adults play mahjong, learned, but there has been no chance to play, and when the four children are pulled up, they start a family, and they don't have to worry about it anymore.

In this fight, the intelligence and spirituality of his youth were shown, and he turned out to be a master, and he won seven or eight times out of ten fights with old ladies.

So when the daughters and sons-in-law came back to the door and played, the old lady sometimes itched and went to the table.

There is no size on the table, each according to his ability and cards.

Of course, there is no money, but there are bets.

In the past, it was often to win peanuts and melon seeds, but tonight is different, but now it's winter, although Dongjiangyuan City is in a place south of the Yangtze River, but it is also quite cold in the morning, and it is blamed for getting up early to make breakfast.

So tonight's bet is that the two people who lose the most will be responsible for tomorrow's breakfast, including washing the dishes after eating.

With such a large family and more than a dozen people, it is not easy to make a breakfast.

If the old lady also loses, the three sons-in-law and sons will be replaced.

The old lady felt sorry for her sons-in-law and sons, so she fought very seriously.

The daughter-in-law and the two daughters, because they don't want to cook, also fight very seriously.

As soon as they were serious, the men who observed it were also full of interest.

While everyone was playing cards, they were waiting for the old lady's granddaughter-in-law to appear on TV.

In this way, the long winter nights will not feel difficult.

On the second floor, Xi Xi was discussing a solution to analytic geometry with his eldest cousin Liu Qianxi, and when he heard the WeChat ring, he picked up his mobile phone to check.

Seeing that it was a message from Xiao Chu, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Zhong Lingling, the little witch who is not a scumbag, couldn't interject when they were discussing the topic, and when she saw the look of the past, she immediately sat up from the bed.

"In the past, it was sent by Cousin Xiao Chu?"

Xi Xi nodded slightly, "Hmm." ”

"What did he say? Tonight is New Year's Day, will he send red envelopes in the group?"

Xi Xi shook his head, "Brother said that my sister-in-law's program is half past nine in advance, so let's not miss it." ”

Zhong Lingling was very surprised, "Advance to half past nine? Isn't the program schedule circulating, is it from half past eleven to half past zero? Although it is not officially released, don't change it casually, right?"

Xi Xi blinked, her brother didn't say this, she didn't know.

Liu Qianxi listened quietly, for the cicada goddess who had loved her for so many years, she still didn't feel very real, it felt like a dream.

Xi Xi got up and walked out the door, "I'll go tell my grandmother and my mother about this." ”

Zhong Lingling asked: "Didn't our brother say anything else? What about the red envelope? He earns so much money, doesn't he give out a big red envelope on New Year's Day, like words?"

Liu Qianxi grabbed Zhong Lingling and smiled, he was really a little money fan who saw money, and he knew that he wanted a red envelope.

Xi Xi stepped on Xiaomian and dragged out, and when he passed by Xiaopeng's door, he was still concentrating on playing games.

When I went to the first floor and walked into the chess and card room, I saw my mother and grandmother having a good time.

Wang Cuifen, the second aunt who was not playing mahjong, was the first to see her and asked, "Xixi, why did you come down?"

As soon as they heard that Xi Xi was coming, everyone stopped and looked at the door.

Xi Xi showed a smile, and said in a soft voice: "Mom, grandma, uncle, brother just sent me WeChat, saying that my sister-in-law's program is half past nine." ”

There were too many elders present to call them, so I had to call my mother and grandmother to represent them.

Hearing her words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they were all very happy.

Starting at half past nine, the show will be over at ten o'clock at most, and you don't need to see twelve o'clock.

Staying up until midnight, the younger generation is fine, but the old lady can't stand it.

"Xixi, did your brother say that when he was in the New Year, would he bring my granddaughter-in-law back?" asked the old lady.

Xi Xi shook his head, "No, my brother may be busy and didn't say anything else." ”

The old lady smiled kindly: "Then next time you can help grandma ask, now my eldest grandson may be accompanying Xiao Tingcicada, and he has no time to pay attention to us for the time being, and we won't make trouble for him." ”

Aunt Wang Cuifang said: "Mom, Xiao Chu is in the magic capital, and Xiao Cicada wants to be on the imperial capital satellite TV, and they are no longer together." ”

The old lady said disdainfully: "What do you know, isn't it a holiday on New Year's Day now? Chu Yanzi can't go to the imperial capital to find his daughter-in-law?"

Auntie was stunned.

The others were also very surprised, the old lady was really not old at all, more than they thought.

The aunt couldn't help but ask Xi Xi: "Xi Xi, you know your brother best, do you think he will go to the imperial capital?"

A smile flowed from the corner of Xi Xi's mouth, and he nodded, "It's possible!"

The aunt, uncle, second uncle, little uncle and others took it, and they all gave the old lady a thumbs up, and it was really the grandmother who loved her grandson the most.

Xi Xi left the chess room and returned to the second floor.

Mahjong continued, and the old lady asked, "Who?"

Xiao Chu's mother said, "It's time for Guixia." ”

Aunt Liao Guixia immediately prepared to play the cards, but her previous train of thought was interrupted and she rethought.

Uncle Wang Jinzhou, who was sitting next to her, pointed out to her, "Call 30,000." ”

My aunt didn't think much about it, so she gave out 30,000.

As soon as she put it down, the old lady shouted, "Peace!"

My aunt was stunned for a moment, and then pinched her man fiercely, "Wang Jinzhou, did you read our mother's card and deliberately asked me to light a cannon for her? I have lost so much, and let me light a cannon, do you deliberately want me to make breakfast tomorrow?"

The uncle smirked, not admitting or denying it.

It doesn't matter who makes breakfast, the main thing is to make the old lady happy.

He looked at Xiao Dongshan and Zhong Tianchang's two brothers-in-law, the two men smiled and nodded slightly, they also thought the same, so they didn't give their daughter-in-law any ideas just now.

......

Imperial capital.

Taxis continue to run from the suburbs to the city.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the snowflakes slowly drifted, first sparse and sparse snow, and after a while, the rain gradually decreased, and the snow gradually increased, and it was a goose-feather-like snowflake, under the illumination of the headlights, one after another, particularly conspicuous.

Xiao Chu is a southerner, snow is very rare for him, and he likes it very much, looking at the snowflakes that keep flying, he is in a good mood.

After watching it for a while, he simply took out his mobile phone and recorded more than ten seconds of snow flying at night.

The driver frowned and said: "It's hard enough to walk when it rains, and it's snowing, and I don't know if there will be traffic jams." ”

......

At 20:00 sharp, the New Year's Day party of Imperial Satellite TV officially began.

Xia Tingcian and Dong Qianyue, the performers, sat in the front row of the studio hall, waiting to play.

Liu Jie and Xiao Ai, the accompanying personnel, do not have this qualification, so they can only wait in the background.

Liu Jie was going to find another senior agent, who was also her old classmate, and Xiao Ai followed.

Suddenly, I heard two young girls shouting excitedly, "Wow, it's snowing!

"Last night's mobile phone weather forecast, it said that it would snow today, I thought it was the same as before, and it was just 'maybe', but I didn't expect it to really fall!"

"The first snow in the imperial capital this year is earlier than in recent years!"

"It's so big, I don't know how long it will last, can I have a snowball fight tomorrow?"

"I don't like big snowball fights, but I want to build a snowman!"

Two young girls chirped like two little magpies, full of excitement and anticipation.

Hearing that it was snowing, Liu Jie couldn't help but walk to the window as well, and saw that it was really snowing.

Her hometown is from the north, and she doesn't feel much about the snow, but she also feels that the first snow in the imperial capital this year does seem to be earlier than in previous years.

Xiao Ai followed to the window, looking at the scattered snowflakes, but her brows furrowed.

Liu Jie noticed her strange appearance and asked curiously, "Xiao Ai, what's wrong with you?"

Xiao Ai hurriedly shook his head, showed a simple smile, and replied: "It's okay Sister Liu, I just saw the snow and suddenly felt a little cold." ”

"Then you don't have to go with me, just go to the lounge and wait, where the air conditioning is turned on. ”

"Thank you, Sister Liu!"

Xiao Ai immediately hugged his mobile phone.

Looking at her back, Sister Liu Jie was puzzled.

She remembered that Xiao Ai was not a person who was afraid of the cold, and every time it snowed before, she would be as happy as a child.

Tonight's reaction wasn't quite right.

But she didn't think much of it.

Xiao Ai is a very simple person who can't hide secrets, and he will naturally say something when he has something.

She continued to look for her old classmates.

Xiao Ai returned to the VIP lounge allocated to Xia Tingciao, and after entering, he poked his head out to take a look, and after making sure that Sister Liu did not follow, he immediately picked up his mobile phone and logged on WeChat.

sent a message to Xiao Chu.

Little quail in the corner: Mr. Xiao, where have you been?

Little Quail in the Corner: It's snowing now, be careful on your way!

It turned out that Xiao Ai knew that Xiao Chu would come to the imperial capital.

The only one who knows.

......

At 21:34, Xia listened to the cicada perform on stage.

She wore a light blue long dress, beautiful and slender, standing on a gorgeous stage, peerless, and fairy-like.

She sang "Mo" first, then sang "Jing Nian", and after the two solo songs were completed, Dong Qianyue appeared again and sang "Dream Chaser" together.

From eight o'clock, the New Year's Day party of the imperial capital station began, the Wang family of Dazhangshu Village, Xiao Chu's brother-in-law Wang Jinzhou, turned on the 70-inch big TV in the chess and card room.

Everyone played mahjong while watching TV.

At 9:20, I stopped mahjong, removed the mahjong table, and focused on watching TV.

Upstairs, the three daughters of Xi Xi, Liu Qianxi, and Zhong Lingling, as well as Xiao Peng, who was playing games in the next room, also came down.

Everyone waits in advance so as not to miss it.

When the female host announced the curtain and the next performer on stage was the popular singer Xia Tingcicada, Zhong Lingling and Xiaopeng immediately cheered.

Xiao Chu's mother Wang Cuixiang and father Xiao Dongshan, second aunt Wang Cuifen, second uncle Liu Deming, aunt Wang Cuixiang, uncle Zhong Tianchang, aunt Liao Guixia, and brother-in-law Wang Jinzhou were also very much looking forward to Gu, and applauded and welcomed the audience on TV.

Xi Xi's long eyelashes blinked, and he was also looking forward to the appearance of his future sister-in-law.

As a loyal fan, Liu Qianxi has a feeling that dreams are seeing reality.

After they finished applauding, the grandmother patted her son beside her, "Xiao Zhou, go and bring me the new pair of glasses I wore during the day." ”

Well, in order to better see the future granddaughter-in-law, the old lady asked her son to accompany her during the day and went to the town with a new pair of reading glasses.

Wang Jinzhou immediately obeyed the order, went to bring the new glasses that had been carefully hidden, and put them on for the old lady.

At this moment, Xia Tingcicada slowly rose from under the stage.

Wearing a light blue dress, it attracted warm applause.

Aunts, second aunts, and uncles applauded on the TV again, Xiaopeng shouted and cheered, and Zhong Lingling whistled.

The aunt leaned into the old lady's ear and asked in a low voice, "Mom, how is it?"

The old lady looked at the beautiful shadow on the stage and laughed happily, even the old wrinkles on her face were almost invisible.

Xiao Chu's mother, Wang Cuixiang, glanced at her father Xiao Dongshan.

The old lady took a fancy to it.

The matter of Achu and Xiao Cicada, on the side of the old Xiao family, is considered to be done!

......

At 21:55, the taxi from the suburbs, crushing the ice and snow, finally drove into the city.

It was more than two hours later than scheduled.

But fortunately, although there was a traffic jam halfway, it didn't bump into anything, and in case of rain and snow, people and cars are safe, even if it is a good thing.

The snow is still falling, and it is blowing one after another.

......

22:03 After listening to the cicada performance, Xia got off the stage and removed her makeup.

After removing the makeup, take the car back to the hotel.

On the way, Xia Tingcicada frowned and looked at his phone over and over again.

Since talking about the adjustment of the program time, Xiao Chu has never replied to WeChat.

Hours have passed, and there has been none.

Angry?

No way.

Could it be that something is wrong?

She was worried.

She sent Xiao Chu a WeChat message.

Still haven't returned.

Xiao Ai drove the car seriously, her little brows were already stretched, and she even wanted to hum a few songs.

It's just that Sister Cicada and Sister Liu were sitting in the car, and they didn't dare to hum in the end.

Liu Jie, who was on the co-pilot, suddenly said: "Xiao Ai, listen to the cicada, the snow has stopped!"

Xiao Ai took a serious look, and sure enough, he found that it was still snowing heavily just now, and he didn't know when it suddenly stopped.

When the snow doesn't fall, it's easier to drive.

Xiao Ai's mood has gotten better.

When he got off the bus at the hotel, Xiao Ai found that the snow clouds in the sky had gradually dissipated, and a full moon quietly poked his head out.

The moonlight passed through the thinner and thinner clouds, sprinkled in the pure white snow world, and became very bright, and the whole city seemed to enter a fairy tale glass world.

After taking the elevator upstairs and entering the presidential suite, Xia Tingcian said, "Sister Liu, I'm a little uncomfortable and want to rest early." ”

Liu Jie understood her, she was uncomfortable and sang three songs, she should rest early.

She poured hot water for Xia Tingcicada, and after taking the medicine, she took Xiao Ai out.

After waiting for the door to be closed, Xia Tingcicada locked it from the inside, and then immediately picked up his mobile phone and dialed Xiao Chu's number.

This time it didn't take long for the other side to connect.

"Hey, why didn't you reply to my message?" Xia Tingcicada was a little angry.

It was the first time she had been angry with him.

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Chu's voice replied with a warm smile: "Don't be angry first, go to the window, open the curtains, and look out." ”

Go to the window and look out?

Xia Tingcicada raised her eyebrows, although the anger in her heart had not subsided, when she heard Xiao Chu say this, she still walked over.

As soon as I opened the curtains, I saw a figure standing across the road under a bus stop sign.

The figure was waving to her from afar, holding a large bouquet of roses.

This figure, not Xiao Chu, who else?

Xia listened to the cicada momentarily sluggish, her eyelashes blinked, and her pink lips opened slightly, unable to believe her eyes.

In the next room, Xiao Ai also saw that scene through the window, and Xiao Yuan couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face.

Teacher Xiao, it's finally here!

"Xiao Ai, what are you looking at?" Liu Jie saw her standing by the window, a little curious, and walked over.

Xiao Ai replied: "It's okay, Sister Liu, the wind was blowing outside just now, I'm looking to see if it will snow tonight." ”

Saying that, Xiao Ai naturally closed the curtains.

When Liu Jie heard that it was just windy, and the curtains had been closed again, she went and turned around and went into the bathroom.

After a busy day, she was also a little tired.

Take a bath and get some rest.

......

In the presidential suite next door.

Xiao Chu's mellow voice came from the phone again, "Got it, did you see it?"

Hearing these words, Xia Tingcicada's dull eyes lit up, smiled lightly, and nodded.

Realizing that the other party couldn't see himself nodding, Xia listened to the cicada and immediately said, "You wait!"

Then she sprang into action.

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Chu heard Xia Tingcicada's words, and saw her leave the window from a distance, guessed what she wanted to do, and waited patiently.

Five or six minutes later, Xia Tingcicada rushed out of the hotel through the small door.

Approaching the corner, she stopped, took a deep breath, slowed down, and walked out.

In the sky, the full moon is in the sky.

The ground was clean and snow-white, and a tall and beautiful figure, stepping on the moonlight and snow, slowly approached Xiao Chu with a clear smile.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Chu suddenly remembered a poem he had read in his previous life, and couldn't help but chant:

"If it's the first day of the new snow,

Underneath is paved with shadows,

There is bright silver circulating on it,

And you came to me with a smile,

Between the moonlight and the snow,

You're the third kind of stunning!"
