HP's Chinese Parents

Before experiencing skiing and hot springs, Tom, who grew up in the fog and was used to the spicy smog, first fell in love with the air of Iceland.The moment he disembarked, the pure air mixed with the smell of ice and snow conquered him instantly.

It was completely dark when we arrived at Nick's cottage.The house was cleaned, the fire was set with charcoal, and the kitchen was stocked with food.After setting up the three pets by the fireplace, Tom looked at Nick. He felt that Nick seemed to be looking forward to something since he disembarked. He looked at him with smiles in his eyes, as if there was a surprise waiting for him to discover.Tomorrow's itinerary will definitely be very interesting, he thought before going to sleep, and then couldn't help but look forward to it.

But he didn't expect Nick's surprise to come so quickly.

"Tom? Get up, you don't want to miss this."

It felt like he had just slept for less than 3 hours when Tom was woken up by Nick's knock on the door. "Ah, Nick." He groaned in pain, then got out of bed and opened the door for Nick.Nick looked at his depressed expression and rubbed his head amusedly, then comforted him perfunctorily: "Sorry for disturbing your sleep, Tom, but you will forgive me after you see this." He walked in and snapped Pulled open the heavy curtains.

Blue-green light came in through the window, illuminating the unlit room.

"God." Tom's drowsiness disappeared suddenly.

That is such a beautiful light, like disturbed ripples, like jumping flames, passing across the sky and disappearing in waves.He was in a hurry to go out, and when Nick caught him halfway through the run, he wrapped him up tightly.The aurora shrouded the entire night sky. Under the aurora, they were laughing, running and playing snowball fights on the open snow.He pounced on Nick, who fell down on the thick snow and rolled a few times holding him.

It was indeed a surprise, and Tom, exhausted, moaned and buried his head in Nick's arms.Nick carried him back to the room resignedly, and while calling him a rascal, he took off his coat and stuffed him into the bed.

This sleep was very long. Tom felt that he woke up a few times in the middle, and vaguely felt that it was not dawn, so he could only continue to sleep.He slept like this until his bladder was about to explode, and when he got up to drain the water, Tom found that it was still dark.

what's up?Tom leaned over the window sill and looked, opened the door and went out of the room, and was surprised to find that Nick was up.

"Morning, Tom." Nick was drinking tea in the living room, watching him go downstairs with a smile, "Can you eat less breakfast, it's time for lunch soon."

"Lunch?" Tom looked out of the window, then at Nick, then out of the window.Then Nick told him that the winter days in Iceland are short and the nights are long. In December, the daylight is only about 12 hours a day. "If you come to play in summer, it's just the opposite, and you will encounter extreme daylight." Nick admired Tom's bewildered expression. In fact, it got dark very early yesterday, but it may be due to staying in the cabin for too long. Tom didn't realize what was wrong, so he held back and waited to see when Tom would find out, and now he finally got his wish.

"But in summer, you won't be able to see the aurora." Nick, who had satisfied his bad taste, drank the last sip of tea and leisurely went to the kitchen to fry eggs.

After dinner, the sky slowly lit up and the sun was shining brightly. Nick beckoned Tom to take the time to soak in the hot spring.Because it was not far away, they walked there on foot and saw it after walking for half an hour.It is a hot spring pool as beautiful as a sapphire. It steams upwards with water mist, lying quietly in the ice and snow, which is too beautiful to behold.Beside the pool, there was a cabin for changing clothes. The door was unlocked and creaked when touched. Tom followed Nick in and took off his clothes. He came out and stood by the pool, hesitating not to go down, shivering from the cold.

Nick, who had already entered the pool, realized that he might not be able to swim, and the water depth of this natural pool is not very friendly to children, so he couldn't help but smile: "Come down, I'll follow you." Then Tom plopped It fell into his arms with a bang, and they tried swimming lessons, but failed, but there was no need to force it, Nick just hugged the landlubber and continued to enjoy the hot spring.

After soaking for only 20 minutes, the sky suddenly turned dark, and there was actually fine snow in the sky.Tom reached out to catch the snowflakes, but they were melted by the steaming heat as soon as they floated over the hot spring.Nick looked at the sky and judged that it would not be long.So the two soaked while watching the snow.Nick and Tom complained that the weather in Iceland in winter can be seamlessly transitioned between sunshine, heavy rain, and blizzards. Turning faces is faster than turning pages. Their luck today is actually very good, at least there is no wind!Tom nodded approvingly.

The snow stopped quickly and the sky took on a beautiful color.After they returned to the small villa, people came to deliver things one after another, including food, tools, clothes, five large boxes of trinkets and a freshly cut Christmas tree! "It's too tall," Tom sighed, comparing it with Nick: "It's taller than you!"

Decorating a whole house was never an easy job, but it got dark early and the nights were long, and they had plenty of time to kill.Every day at dawn, I hurried out to play, played on mossy fields, black sand beaches, and geysers, and came back to work after dark.

Tom loves doing it, Nick smacks to himself, he's found out before that Tom has a passion for furnishing!

"Nick! I can't reach this!"

Tom has what he thinks is the prettiest star in his hand and wants Nick to help him glue it to the top of the Christmas tree.Nick, though, always knew how to make him happier, and instead of taking the star, he lifted Tom onto his shoulders with a jerk.

"Ah!" Tom squealed excitedly, glued the star on, and then hugged Nick's head tightly and refused to come down.

"Okay, okay, I get it, take your hands away, at least don't cover my eyes." Nick helplessly led him around the room several times.

"If you don't come down again, I'll let you hit the door frame!"

=============

While Nick was taking the children to enjoy the wild holidays, Roland was working tirelessly to develop the market.Seemingly overnight, a magical cure for pneumonia suddenly became popular among the French upper class.

"Oh? I've heard of this. This is the little surprise you and your children made?" Raphael turned around, the sun reflected on his side face, adding a bit of warmth to his pale complexion.

"Yes," Roland opened the box in his hand and handed it up. Three medicines sealed in glass tubes lay on the silk substrate, as if three works of art shone with charming light.

[This is really an impeccable beauty. ] Roland's humble expression perfectly concealed his frivolous thoughts. He leaned forward to introduce the miraculous effects and precautions of this potion to his cousin Raphael, like a professional salesman. At the same time, he wanted to But it was, [When he was coughing just now, I really wanted to help him beat his back, and then tear off the damn headband and touch the light golden hair. 】

Then Roland looked up and found that Raphael hadn't looked at the potion on the table anymore, and those intoxicating blue-gray eyes were looking at him quietly, as if he had already understood all his thoughts.

The author has something to say: I was stupid and naive at first!Although it was summer, I still hoped to see the aurora. As a result, the sun went down at 12 o'clock in the evening, the sky was still dark, and the stars didn't come out, so the sun rose again!There is only 1 hour of darkness!
