December is coming to an end.

On New Year's Eve, Ji Xiao and I made dumplings together.He urged me to call my dad on video.

I had no choice but to spread my hands, showed him the flour on my hands, and said, "Yuanyuan, you can't let me make the dough while you let me do other things."

Ji Xiao said: "Then I will do it myself."

He took the PAD, rummaged through my communication interface, and asked me: "What's the note you gave uncle?"

I looked at the bit of hair blown off his cheek and said, "That's 'Dad'."

Ji Xiao: "Huh? But before I searched directly... oh, yes!"

He dialed out the video, and while waiting for the connection, he even flipped through the chat history in the dialog box.

Ji Xiao said softly "Huh", and said, "So you have quite a lot of contact with uncle?"

I took a look and saw the text and voice call records displayed in the dialog box, including holiday blessings, inquiries about the company's status, and some greetings in daily life.

I said, "Of course."

Ji Xiao smiled and looked up at me.He seemed to want to say something, but before he could speak in the future, the video was connected.

Ji Xiao gave a soft "Yeah" and walked to my side.

Holding the PAD, he greeted the screen and said, "Uncle, Happy New Year!"

I smiled and said, "Dad, happy new year."

The man on the screen is about fifty years old.The years have carved traces of vicissitudes on his face, but they will not connect him with the word "boss".Even from the camera, you can see his radiance.

This is my father.

Mr. Shao Sinan, the richest man in Haicheng.

I once read a report about him.Speaking of which, it was the day I picked up Ji Xiao.

The weather was bad that day, and there was a strong wind.Dramatically, a newspaper was blown in front of me.

I grabbed it, glanced at it, and saw a few big characters on the front page of the newspaper: A generation of business legend, Mr. Shao Sinan...

Read on for a list of his accomplishments.

He was born in the late 60s and experienced a lot when he was young.After the reform and opening up, they became the first batch of people who went to sea to do business.In a few years, he earned a fortune that seemed not small at the time.By the 90s, everyone was waiting to see the future direction of development.Someone stood at the wind for a short time, but was overwhelmed by the next wave.

There are also people who ride on the wind and stand on the sky.

I let go, and the newspaper went away with the wind.

In retrospect, this move was not environmentally friendly.But at that time, the only thing I was thinking about was Ji Xiao.

I walked to his side. He was looking up at the sky, but when he noticed my approach, he lowered his eyes and looked at me.

A stranger came to him so suddenly.

No wonder Ji Xiao showed a little vigilance on his face.

He wanted to leave because he didn't want to get into trouble.But as soon as he moved, there was thunder in the clouds.

It's raining.

The rain wet the newspapers that had fallen on the roadside.Amidst the sound of the rain, I asked Ji Xiao: "Do you have a place to go?"

Ji Xiao said, "Yes."

I looked at him and said, "You don't have to be afraid of me."

Ji Xiao was like a cat whose tail had been trampled on. He took a step back, with a bit of impatience on his face, and a little unbelievable, asking: "Why should I be afraid of you?"

I looked at him and said, "You should know my father's name, right?"

Ji Xiao: "..."

I also realized it later, at that time, Ji Xiao looked at me as if saying: This person must be sick, right?

But at the time, I didn't think too much about it.

I looked at the boy in front of me.Look at his pointed chin, pretty face.I looked at him and saw sparks sparking in his eyes.

At that time, I actually didn't understand what exactly I wanted from Ji Xiao.

But one thing is for sure: At least at that time, I don't intend to let Ji Xiao out of my sight.

With this in mind, I said slowly, "My father is Shao Sinan."

Accompanied by my words, the rain fell on Ji Xiao's cheeks.

He was still looking at me in surprise and bewilderment.

It's like a young cat who is at a loss in the face of the cage and the temptation of food.

I smiled and asked Ji Xiao: "Do you want to go back with me to shelter from the rain?"

- This was ten years ago.

Today, ten years later, Ji Xiao and I have a home.Ji Xiao loves me and considers my family.Now smiling, standing next to me, talking to the PAD.

"Happy New Year." On the other side of the screen, my father also blessed me.His voice was as calm as his face, and he asked us with a smile, "Is this making dumplings?"

"Yes," Ji Xiao said, "The dumpling stuffing has been reconciled! It's from lotus vegetables."

As he spoke, he turned the PAD so that the camera could focus on the bowl filled with stuffing.

The smile in his father's voice grew stronger: "Not bad."

Ji Xiao turned the PAD around again and said, "It's all done by Shao Zuo."

My father praised me again.

Amidst the joy, Ji Xiao asked, "Uncle, what are your arrangements? What are you going to have for dinner?"

His father answered him: "The company is going to have an annual meeting, so I'll have dinner with a few directors. It's not yet time, so I'll go out later."

Ji Xiao: "Oh!" He turned his head to look at me again.

I understood what Ji Xiao meant, and said to the PAD: "Dad, that's it. We talked with the psychiatrist again during this period, and they said that my symptoms have been relieved a lot. If this continues, wait until the Chinese New Year By then, Ji Xiao and I will be able to return to Haicheng."

On the screen, the father said: "This is a good thing! You have been staying outside, and it is not a problem."

I smiled and asked about the status of some companies.At this point, Ji Xiao didn't talk much, just listened with his ears pricked up.

After talking like this for five or six minutes, my father cut a new call.After my father connected, he said a few words, "Just wait downstairs."

After hearing this, Ji Xiao knew: "Uncle, is the driver here to pick you up?"

Father said, "Yes."

Ji Xiao said: "That line, uncle will be busy first. After the year, Shao Zuo will be able to work again."

I couldn't laugh or cry, I hugged Ji Xiao's waist from behind.Ji Xiao's back is obviously much straighter, but the smile on his face has not changed.

He didn't seem to breathe a sigh of relief until the video was over.

I pinched his waist and asked, "Nervous?"

"Maybe it's been too long since I talked to my uncle," Ji Xiao said, "How did I communicate with my uncle before? Was it too much dancing just now?"

While talking, he looked at me eagerly, as if he wanted to get some affirmation from me.

I laughed "haha" and said, "It was not bad like that just now."

Ji Xiao: "Really?"

I said: "Yes, it's a bit of a 'young wife' style."

Ji Xiao: "..."

He was speechless, and then remembered another thing, "Wait, do you still have flour on your hands?"

I said, "It seems to be." I coughed and withdrew my hand.

Ji Xiao tugged at his clothes, looking at the big white patch on his waist.

"Shao, Zuo—"

"Ok?"

Ji Xiao took a deep breath.

He seems to be brewing something.With a little expectation in my heart, I smiled and looked at him.But in the end, Ji Xiao laughed by himself.

I saw him smile, and my heart was moving as always.

I moved forward to kiss him.Unexpectedly, Ji Xiao wiped it on his face with his flour-soaked fingers.

There are three horizontal lines on the left and right.Ji Xiao was still holding the PAD with the screen turned off, and used it as a mirror for me.

I looked at myself in the mirror: those three white horizontal lines, like cat's whiskers, on my cheeks.

I still smile.

Maintaining this expression, rolled up his sleeves, and sighed: "It seems that I'm really being too polite to you."

Ji Xiao is still not afraid of me.

He put down the PAD with a smile, came to kiss me, and said, "Husband, shall we continue making dumplings?"

I looked at him with an inscrutable expression.

Ji Xiao kissed me again and said, "I love you."

I couldn't say anything.

By the end, we were laughing together.

Before that, we ate many meals of frozen dumplings in this house.But when it comes to doing it yourself, this is the first time.

The result is worrisome, but the process is very interesting.

Ji Xiao also had to worry about it: "If you go to Uncle's place to celebrate the New Year, there should be a lot of people going to pay New Year's greetings, right? How was the past few years?"

I said, "Have you forgotten? Dad mainly hangs out with his old friends. Those from the company who come to pay New Year's greetings come to us directly."

Ji Xiao: "Oh..."

I laughed, and Ji Xiao then said, "But this year is different, isn't it? Uncle was semi-retired before, but this year," he nudged me with his elbow, "should no one would specifically look for you?"

I paused and said, "That makes sense."

Ji Xiao pondered.

I said again: "But Dad doesn't like too noisy environment."

Ji Xiao: "Huh?"

I said, "That's it. At that time, it should be the three of us. This year's situation is too special, so we won't engage in those vain things."

Ji Xiao thought about it, agreed, and told me: "Don't just talk about it, you also tell uncle."

I smiled and said, "Don't worry."

Ji Xiao is indeed relieved.He has already read the chat records between me and my father, and knows that although I don’t talk about it often, in fact, I have never let go of the contact with my father.

The dumplings are out of the pot.Our mobile phones kept vibrating, and it was the New Year greeting messages that kept pouring in.It was inconvenient to read before, but now I can pick up my phone and read one by one.

Much of the content appears repetitive.But one of them caught Ji Xiao's attention.

He was reading to me: "Happy New Year, a happy family—hey, it's Gu Maoheng's news."

I added water to the pot and said casually, "What did you say?"

Ji Xiao: "Happy New Year's Day, everything goes well."

I said, "And then?"

Ji Xiao: "..." Pause, the Adam's apple rolled, and the voice softened, as if it was incredible, "That's right, the recent out-of-office situations of the special case team are basically all the 'cases' that existed before. Time is only associated with 'games'.

"There are also new 'unexplained coma', but basically no definite evidence related to 'game' has been found."

The author has something to say: No little angel has guessed the new unit yet, XDDD see you at noon tomorrow.
