The few pedestrians on the street wrapped their collars tightly, hunched their necks and rubbed their hands.There is a Lantern Festival shop on the side of the road, but it is full of seats.Maybe people don't want to wander outside in this kind of weather.

Zhang Yue finally decided to call his sister Zhang Wen.

Zhang Wen's voice was as quiet and soft as ever, "Xiao Yue, do you want to come over today? Let your brother-in-law pick you up."

Zhang Yue stood alone on the side of the street and did not refuse.

Zhang Yue's brother-in-law is a very serious person. He looks decent, speaks decently, and behaves decently.So this serious man drove to pick up Zhang Yue in a serious way.

It was already the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. Sitting in the car, looking at the lights of Wanjia, Zhang Yue suddenly sighed meaningfully, "Time flies so fast."

The serious brother-in-law was driving the car intently, and actually replied: "The old man is fine."

Since Zhang Wen got married, Zhang Yue seldom came here to bother.

The place where Zhang Wen lived was a very ordinary community, and the meal had already been prepared when Zhang Yue arrived.

Zhang Yue was basically silent when the three of them were eating.Zhang Wen occasionally said a few words to her husband, and did not ask about Zhang Yue's studies. He just said softly: "Xiao Yue, I will stay here until the end of the year. There is usually no one in your apartment."

Cleaning up and eating are all done casually outside, your brother-in-law and I can take care of you if you stay with me. "

Zhang Yue originally wanted to say that he was not young anymore and knew how to take care of himself, but after hesitating for a while he replied, "Yes."

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, it finally snowed. The green branches in the community turned into white branches, and the snow was like fluff, but the ground had not yet accumulated.

Zhang Wen went to work with her husband early in the morning. The two belonged to the same company, so it could be considered an office romance.Before leaving the house, he asked Zhang Yueduo to sleep for a while, made porridge in the morning and put it in the rice cooker.

Zhang Yue woke up early, lying on the bed in an inexplicable daze.

He turned on the computer on the side and logged on to QQ. It turned out that someone in the class group happily said that it was snowing. Zhang Yue suddenly remembered that the current class didn't even have a group.

The QQ notification sounded at the right time, Sun Xiran sent a smiling expression, and Zhang Yue responded with a polite smile.

Sun Xiran excitedly typed a long paragraph.

It probably means that the results of the final exam are out this time, and they will be announced in the next year, but I know it in advance, and if I do well in the exam, I guess I can get a lot of lucky money.

Zhang Yue casually replied congratulations.

The Spring Festival, the Spring Festival, heralds that spring is coming, but there is also a word called spring cold.

Chen Renzhi felt that the tail of the twelfth lunar month was unbelievably cold, and the heating at home was like a decoration, especially when it snowed recently, walking into the yard could already turn into frost.

Chen Renzhi just came back from helping Chen's mother buy seasonings outside. Chen Renjia was playing in the living room and didn't feel cold at all. Chen's mother complained in a low voice: "What's wrong with Mr. Wang who burns the boiler, this radiator is warm."

Chen Renzhi stomped his feet at the door of the house to get rid of the snow on the soles of his feet. He went into the kitchen and put the seasoning on the chopping board. He wanted to help with something, but Chen's mother pushed him out with a dissatisfied expression, "What do you mean by that sentence?" Come on, the gentleman is far away

kitchen. "Go out and watch TV with Ren Jia.

"Mom, you are really educated." Chen Renjia looked over from the living room and said blankly.

The customs of the Spring Festival in various places are being broadcast on the TV. In City H in the north, people put popsicles in boxes and place them on the street, and the old people are making various things for the New Year at home.

City A belongs to the north-central part. Although it is hard to say that you do not stay outside in winter, it is also extremely cold.

Chen Renzhi watched TV for a while and felt bored, so he went to the balcony to find Chen Jian.

Chen Jian was reading a newspaper on the balcony, and the newspaper was held far away from him. Chen Renzhi walked over silently, "Dad."

Chen Jian raised his head and looked at his eldest son.

Chen Renzhi seldom took the initiative to talk to his parents, but the relationship between the family did not suffer because of this, and a unique harmony was maintained all the time.

"Dad, are you old?" Chen Renzhi asked with concern.

"No, it hurts the eyes if you hold it too close." Chen Jian smiled.

"Dad, I have a few chemistry questions I want to ask you." Chen Renzhi said seriously.

Chen Jian was a little flattered. Although he was a teacher, his son rarely asked him questions. Only since he entered junior high school, he never consulted his father.

"Bring it here." Chen Jian's expression was calm.

So, on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Chen Renzhi spent discussing chemistry problems with his father on the balcony.

Sun Xiran lived a very comfortable life in his childhood.

Father Sun only had a holiday on New Year's Eve, while Mother Sun was out of town and would not come back for the New Year.

When Sun's father went to work, Sun Xiran would go out to buy and eat, and after eating, he would lie in his room and play games. Seeing that it would be New Year's Eve tomorrow, this kind of life would be boring.

On a whim, Sun Xiran called Chen Renzhi, who had just finished discussing the chemistry problem with Chen Jian.

"Ren Zhi, let's go skiing tomorrow." Sun Xiran was a little excited.

Chen Renzhi felt indescribably magical when he heard the word huaxue.

"Where are you going? I don't know." Chen Renzhi's tone was flat.

"Just go to the ski resort in the southern suburbs."

"Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, and I may have to go back to my hometown." Chen Renzhi didn't know about tomorrow's arrangements, but he instinctively refused such outings.

"Ah? Well then, I'll ask Zhang Yue." Sun Xiran's tone revealed a hint of disappointment.

At the end of the year, the meals at home were very rich. Mother Chen cooked twelve dishes, and asked everyone to comment on each dish.

Chen Renzhi's vocabulary is very limited, and the only words he repeats over and over again are "very good." "Well, not bad." "It tastes good."

Chen Renjia is clever, "Mom, I have eaten his mother's cooking at Xiaowei's house, and it is far worse than yours." "Wow! The color is so beautiful, and it tastes delicious."

So Chen Renjia discovered at night that his brother who had promised to buy comic books for him suddenly refused.

When Chen Renzhi was lying on the bed, he thought of Sun Xiran's phone call today. He recalled that during the New Year's Eve all these years, most of them had a good meal at home, and a day of watching TV was over, so he began to consider Sun Xiran's suggestion.

The door of the room was knocked suddenly, and Chen Jian's voice was very soft: "Ren Zhi, I forgot to tell you just now, I will take the car back to County D tomorrow morning. This year we will celebrate the New Year at my hometown. Do you think you have anything to pack? Ren Zhi Is Jia asleep?"

Chen Renzhi replied lightly, and silently took back the mobile phone he had just taken out.

County D, Chen Renzhi's hometown, is about two hours' drive from city A.

As soon as he got in the car, Chen Renzhi fell asleep by the window. He had a strange dream.

In the dream, I became a chemistry teacher. Sun Xiran, Zhang Yue and many people I didn't know sat under the podium.He kept repeating an equation, only Zhang Yue raised his eyes occasionally, the others were like puppets, he

Going down to talk to Sun Xiran, Sun Xiran and others suddenly came back to life, while Zhang Yue disappeared.

Chen Renzhi woke up before arriving at the station. He rubbed the corners of his sleepy eyes, his hair was a little messed up by the window, and he only remembered that he had a dream, but everything in the dream was very blurry.

The bus station was full of people, Chen Renzhi followed behind his parents, Chen's mother led Ren Jia, and the family slowly squeezed forward.

The small county town on New Year's Eve looks extremely bleak, with snow accumulated on the roads from the past few days, and scattered remains of firecrackers.

There were too few buses going to the small village of his hometown, so Chen Jian called a van. The driver of the van was a very enthusiastic middle-aged uncle, and he chatted enthusiastically with Chen Jian about homework.

Chen's mother took the opportunity to praise her son, and Chen Renzhi fell asleep habitually beside him.

In fact, Chen Renzhi doesn't like to sleep in the car. Sometimes he just leans against the window and closes his eyes without thinking. He likes this feeling of emptiness, as if he doesn't have to think about anything, or he can think about anything.

Chen Renzhi's grandmother passed away a long time ago. In his memory, he only remembers drinking goat milk squeezed by his grandmother in his hometown when he was very young.Grandpa is over 80 years old this year, and there are two older sisters above Chen Jian.

grandson.

As the youngest in the family, Chen Jian finished school in a smooth manner, and did not experience the so-called dropout of children from poor families.When Chen Renzhi walked home with his father, he met many fellow villagers who greeted Chen Jian. They squatted at the door

With a bowl in his mouth, a few children are playing beside him without fear of the cold.

Chen Renzhi's cell phone rang suddenly, and the caller was Sun Xiran, his right eyelid twitched, and he answered the phone, "Ren Zhi, can you contact Zhang Yue?" Sun Xiran's voice was a little impatient.

"I don't know, I don't have his phone number." Chen Renzhi suddenly found that he had known Zhang Yue for a semester and didn't even have a contact method.

"Why don't you give me his mobile phone number and I'll try to call it." Chen Renzhi noticed that the other people had gone far away, so he trotted to keep up.

"Okay." Sun Xiran sent Zhang Yue's mobile phone number to Chen Renzhi, and Chen Renzhi called.

The phone rang three times and got through.

"Hello, Chen Renzhi?" Zhang Yue's voice hesitated.

"It's me, how do you know my phone number?" Chen Renzhi was a little surprised.

"Oh, I have the mobile phone numbers of my classmates." Zhang Yue's voice was still faint, "Is there something wrong?"

"Sun Xiran said he couldn't get through to you, and he might want to ask you to go skiing." Chen Renzhi followed his family.Chen Jian glanced at Chen Renzhi, but said nothing.

"Oh, then I might not be able to go, I'm not in City A."

"Not in City A? Where are you going?" Chen Renzhi asked excitedly. This time, Chen's mother looked at him suspiciously, and Chen Renzhi waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.

"I won't be studying in No. [-] Middle School next semester. I'm going to City H. I haven't had time to tell you." Zhang Yue's voice was a little soft.

"Okay, then tell Xiran about it." Chen Renzhi tightened the scarf he wore when he went out this morning.

"Be careful to keep warm." Chen Renzhi replied in a strange way, thinking of the popsicles all over the streets in City H, and suddenly realized that his scarf was useless.

"Let it be, I..."

Chen Renzhi hung up the phone.

Chen Renzhi stayed in his hometown for three days, chatting with his grandfather every day, and most of the time it was his grandfather who said he was listening, except for the occasional New Year's greetings among the neighbors, basically nothing happened.

Both aunts were married, and when they came back in the second year of junior high school, they were very moved when they saw Ren Zhidu, saying that the child grew up really fast.

Chen Renzhi has been a little absent-minded.

After returning to City A, Chen Renzhi approached Sun Xiran, who was still playing games at home.Sun Xiran seemed to have no reaction to Zhang Yue's transfer.Chen Renzhi felt that he might be overwhelmed. Zhang Yue didn't want to tell them, but he didn't come.

in time.

Sun Xiran has always been bitter about not going skiing, so Chen Renzhi went with Sun Xiran in the fourth grade of junior high school.

When sliding down the hill, the wind blew past his ears, and he felt the touch of nature at close range. Chen Renzhi felt unprecedentedly refreshed. He yelled loudly, but no one noticed him, and everyone had a great time. Almost.

Chen Renzhi suddenly thought, what would happen if Zhang Yue also came?
