In the end, Zheng Chile hid the real reason in his heart.

Xie Minglang's family knew about Zheng Chile's "life experience", so they could only comfort him silently for a while.

When Zheng Chile was about to leave, Sun Ru hugged him and said, "Auntie Sun would like to have a child like you, Lele. Lele, our home is your home. If you want to come, you can come anytime."

Zheng Chile was moved in his heart, nodded, said goodbye to Sun Ru and the three and walked into the wind and snow.

The snow in Huaichang has always been small, thin and slow, as if it could last a whole winter without end. The snow on the ground will never be too thick, and only pedestrians are allowed to print a not deep and not shallow pattern on the road. footprint.

Zheng Chile walked alone on the somewhat deserted street after nightfall, even he didn't know what it was like in his heart.

Although there are some things in his life that are less than others, there are also many things in his life that others may not get.

The concern from other people has proved that not all the efforts can be rewarded. As long as he sticks to the path he has chosen, he will gain more and more.

The gap left in my heart will be slowly filled by other things sooner or later.

It's just that the feeling that a piece of the heart was missing will always come to my heart inadvertently.

It will take a long time to completely eliminate such a strong and persistent obsession.

He's slowly getting used to not looking forward, and maybe soon he'll be able to get used to not thinking about it.

Zheng Chile walked quickly through the narrow alley, trying to get back to the clinic before the snow got bigger.

When he saw the clinic with orange lights on, he paused suddenly.

Zheng Tong hugged Jiajia and stood at the door waiting for him.

For a moment, Zheng Chile felt as if his heart had been hit hard by something.

It turns out that the so-called not expecting is just forcing yourself not to expect it.

Because expectations always fail, and because I have never experienced the feeling of being filled in the chest, I can calmly and rationally tell myself "this is the best way", "this kind of feeling is not necessary", "I am not unnecessary".

In fact, human nature is always greedy, and people always look forward to getting what they don't get.

Zheng Chile watched the little Jiajia break free from Zheng Tong's arms and run towards her, her arms stretched out to hug her knees, her whole heart softened.

He rubbed Jiajia's hair: "Is Jiajia coming to see my uncle?"

Jia Jia sucked her nose that was red from the cold: "Little uncle lied and said he would come to see me during the holidays."

Zheng Chile picked her up and coaxed her patiently: "Little uncle still has things to do, and he will definitely go to see Jiajia when he's done! Look at your little nose, how long have you been standing outside? You'll get frostbite."

"I just stood there for a while..." Jiajia suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and turned her head to look at Zheng Tong: "Mom waited for a long time, and I followed behind!"

Zheng Chile was slightly taken aback.

Zheng Tong has been watching Zheng Chile, and seeing the momentary loss of focus on his face, his heart can't help but tug.

Guan Jingze was right, no matter what she was thinking in her heart, the fact was that she had never given Zheng Chile the care and love she should have given him.If she had fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother and given Zheng Chile care as a mother, Zheng Chile would not be confused by this little waiting—because that is what any mother would do.

Zheng Tong held back the soreness on his nose: "Lele, I will return to Yongjiao after the next year, shall we celebrate the New Year together this year?"

Zheng Chile paused slightly, and said, "Of course, it's cold outside, let's go in quickly."

There is a woman in the house, the atmosphere will be very different.

Ji Chunlai, Wu Qiji, Zhao Kaiping, Zheng Chile, and Tong Huanqing are all men, and they didn't pay much attention to the Chinese New Year in previous years, that is, the dishes were a little richer than usual.

The next day, Zheng Tong and Jia Jia woke up early in the morning and took Zheng Chile and Tong Huanqing to buy new year's goods.Wu Qiji and Zhao Kaiping ran into each other, and felt that Zheng Chile and Tong Huanqing, the two strong men, might not be able to move too many things, so they also joined the team.

After returning, the backyard of the clinic is full of new purchases.

Zheng Tong had a pair of dexterous hands when he was young, and now he took out the red paper to practice, and even picked up the craft of cutting window grilles.She led Zheng Chile and Jiajia to start working together, and soon added a bit of Spring Festival joy to each room.

After decorating the clinic and the living quarters at the back, there was still a lot left. Zheng Chile led Jiajia to the neighborhood to deliver. Taking this opportunity to draw in neighbors was partly the reason, and partly because he wanted to show off. : Firstly, to show off my new skills, and secondly, of course, to show off my cute and clever "niece".

The neighbors on this old street are quite familiar, and soon they knew who Jiajia's parents were. Some nostalgic people asked, "How is Secretary Guan?"

Zheng Chile deliberately teased Jiajia: "How is your father?"

Jia Jia is not afraid of life: "It's still the secretary!"

The people around thought this answer was wonderful, wouldn't Guan Zhenyuan just continue to be the secretary right now?However, some people continued to quote Jiajia: "The secretary of the municipal party committee and the secretary of the provincial party committee are both secretaries, but their ranks are different!"

Jiajia didn't know whether the different levels meant good or bad, so she turned her head and looked at Zheng Chile in doubt.

Zheng Chile said: "It's really different, I've been promoted."

Jia Jia felt relieved: "That's good!"

That prim little look amused everyone.

When Zheng Chile returned to the clinic with Jiajia in his arms, Zheng Tong and Zhao Kaiping were busy making pasta, and Jiajia immediately ran over to join in the fun.

Zheng Chile faltered slightly, and followed.

He could see that Zheng Tong was trying to make amends.

Although it was a bit late, it was still here.

Zheng Chile squeezed to Jiajia's side and said with a smile, "Let's see who kneads quickly and well."

Jiajia grabbed the dough, her eyes sparkled: "No problem! Let me start!"

The nephew and uncle competed rather naively.

Zheng Chile did not forget to call Guan Jingze that night.

Guan Jingze heard that Zheng Chile's voice was cheerful, and immediately complained reassuringly: "Your side is lively, and the atmosphere of Yongjiao is getting weaker. Secretary Cheng showed me the itinerary for the New Year. Dad is planning to spend the entire New Year's Eve. They are all used to go to the countryside to express condolences."

Zheng Chile was happy, and it was not easy for Guan Jingze to live alone: ​​"Either you come back?"

Guan Jingze said, "Why do you think Secretary Cheng told me this?"

Zheng Chile immediately understood: "Your father asked you to go with me?"

Guan Jingze said: "You guessed it." He speculated maliciously, "I think this must be revenge—his wife went to your place, and he detained me so that I wouldn't be with you."

Zheng Chile was amused: "That's right, he also detained my wife."

Guan Jingze felt as if something had scratched his heart, it was so itchy, he wished he could go back to Huaichang immediately.

But the future is long, don't rush for a while.

He talked to Zheng Chile for a long time before hanging up.

When he put down the receiver and turned around, he realized that Guan Zhenyuan was standing behind and had been listening for an unknown amount of time.

Guan Jingze rarely felt the embarrassment of being caught doing bad things: "Dad, when did you come?"

Guan Zhenyuan said: "Start with you arranging me." He folded his arms with both hands, looked at his son and added slowly, "After you say that, I don't think I can hold you for a long time. I'm so sorry for myself!"

Guan Jingze: "..."

Seeing his son's rare annoyance, Guan Zhenyuan patted him on the shoulder: "Go to bed early, get up early and set off tomorrow."

When Zheng Chile returned to the backyard, he also saw Zheng Tong.

Zheng Tong is 37 or [-] this year, and he is no longer the young girlish look that Zheng Chile remembered.

Zheng Chile knew that his arrival must have made Zheng Tong, who was still a young girl, feel hesitant and helpless. Knowing that his biological father had married someone else, he must have also felt hopeless, and even felt that he was a mistake that was difficult to face.This realization once filled him with anger and injury, and he left Huaichang angrily, never looking back.

Unknowingly, Zheng Tong has slowly stepped from youth to middle age, and his hair has a few strands of silvery white due to years of using his brain.

Zheng Chile hesitated for a moment, but still called out: "Sister."

Zheng Tong knows that this title is a sharp knife for Zheng Chile and her, and it can always stab straight into the heart.But she understands that this is the result she has to bear. If she avoids it because she feels pain—or even dare not talk to Zheng Chile face to face, it is tantamount to swallowing food and being extremely stupid.

Zheng Tong also shouted: "Lele." After shouting, she hugged Zheng Chile into her arms.

This time she didn't cry anymore, she just hugged Zheng Chile tightly for a while.

Sometimes there is no need for words to communicate with each other's feelings.

When Zheng Tong let go of his embrace, Zheng Chile said, "Are you going to take a look at Chengfeng tomorrow? Uncle Zhang and the others are all talking about you."

Zheng Tong said: "Go, of course, Lele, will you go with me?"

Zheng Chile said, "Alright."

After starting the conversation, Zheng Tong talked more.She is also very concerned about the affairs of Huaichang. Zheng Chile saved Ke Hanxing's son and then helped Chengfeng win the production technology of the entire assembly line. ... She said all the details, and asked Zheng Chile about the smaller details one by one, as if she wanted to make up for everything she hadn't said before.

Zheng Chile was not impatient either, and patiently answered one by one.

It wasn't until the moon broke through the clouds at some point and peeked out, and the bright moonlight covered the entire courtyard, that they went back to their rooms to rest.

Zheng Chile returned to her bed and lay down quietly for a while with her eyes open, before falling asleep soon.

Zheng Tong kept his eyes open until dawn, replaying all these years like a revolving lantern in his mind.

In fact, as long as you always care about each other sincerely, it is not so difficult to accept the "sibling relationship".

It's just that she hasn't been able to do the first point before.

The next day, Zheng Chile and Zheng Tong went to visit several old people in Chengfeng Machinery Factory.

It was already evening when they returned to the clinic, the snow had gradually stopped, and everyone was clearing the snow.The front of the clinic is busier than anywhere else.

Jia Jia has the sharpest eyes, and she ran towards them from a distance, yelling happily: "Little uncle! Little uncle! Brother Daniu, Brother Xue Yan, Brother Xiaohai, Brother Dongqing, Brother Qilin, Brother Cao Hui, they are all here! Now, there are also Sister Sheng Nan and Sister Xie Xin!"

She called out a series of people's names in one breath, and she didn't even catch her breath. Her little face turned red with excitement, and she looked very cute.

Zheng Chile picked her up and took a look forward. Sure enough, everyone was there, and they were all helping to sweep the snow in front of the clinic.

Zheng Chile quickened his pace, walked over and said with a smile: "The senior year is finally on vacation?"

Zhao Qilin had a bitter face: "Isn't it? The senior year only has a few days off, it's hard to let people live!"

The big fat man finally lost a little weight and turned into a little fat man. The flesh on his face seemed to have also lost a little bit, and finally he didn't look so ferocious—his frowning look was a little funny!

Zheng Chile turned to Xue Yan: "Is Capital University also on vacation?"

Xue Yan nodded.

He has been admitted to the medical school of Capital University, and with Zhao Kaiping's temporary teaching and Ji Chunlai's constant teaching, he completed his studies very easily, which gave him more time to learn deeper things.

Although he only enrolled for one semester, Xue Yan has established relationships with several teachers with very high professional achievements.

The reason why he stayed in school until near New Year's Eve was to learn as much as possible without wasting any time.

While they were chatting, the others had swept away the snow with three strokes and two strokes.

The oldest Xie Xin greeted: "Stop sticking around outside, let's chat inside!"

Zheng Chile responded with a smile: "Hey! Follow orders!"

When they walked into the house, they didn't know which one started, and firecrackers were crackled and lit.Immediately afterwards, as if they were fighting for strength, the sound of firecrackers kept ringing one after another, as if to wake up the people in the entire old city.

The new year is coming.
