The weather at the end of December was already very cold, and there was a fair amount of snow falling.Lan You walked out of the gate of the procuratorate, took out her mobile phone and called Qi Xi, who beeped a few times and was connected.

"Hey, Big Brother Qi, I'm off work, and it's snowing today, shall we have hot pot tonight?" Lan You narrowed her eyes and glanced at her head, and said happily.

"It's up to you to decide." Qi Xi put down the document in his hand, looked out the window, and said in a deep voice.

"Well, then it's settled, you come back early." Since Qi Xi introduced Lan You to the Procuratorate last time, Li Angran has become familiar with him every time he comes and goes.In the past month, Qi Xi would look for Lan You every now and then, and Lan You often went to Qi Xi's residence to cook.Sometimes it's too late at night, the dormitory is closed, and Lan You lives directly at Qi Xi's place.

Lan You first went to the supermarket to buy a bunch of vegetables, meat, and ingredients for the hot pot soup, took a taxi back, and took out the key that Qi Xi forced for him.Lan You first put the things she bought into the kitchen, took off her down jacket, put on her apron, and prepared for the hot pot.

After taking the last plate of meat out of the kitchen, the sound of a key opening the door came from outside, and Lan You's eyes lit up: Brother Qi is back.Lan You walked to the hall, and it turned out that Qi Xi had come back. He had already changed his shoes and was taking off his coat.

Lan You went up to meet him, and naturally took the coat and bag he took off from Qi Xi's hand, "Brother Qi, you just came back, I just prepared the hot pot, and it's ready to eat."

Qi Xi looked at Lan You who was hanging up his clothes, his eyes flashed, dark and deep, making it difficult to see what he was thinking. "I just came back from the outside, and I'm covered in cold air. Eating hot pot is just to drive away the cold."

Since both of them are addicted to spicy food, Lan You only prepared the bottom of the spicy pot. There is a thick layer of red floating on the top of the pot, which looks very refreshing and makes you want to eat it.Lan You poured a lot of meat and vegetables into it and waited for it to boil before eating.

After a while, it boiled, and Lan You couldn't wait to pick up a piece of meat and let it into his mouth, it was so hot that he shouted that it was so hot and delicious.

Looking at Lan You like this, Qi Xi smiled helplessly. It was really hard to imagine that the gentle and quiet brother back then would have such a bluffing foodie side.Qi Xi put down the chopsticks in his hand, took out a can of herbal tea from the refrigerator, pulled open the ring and said, "It's burnt, I've made you so anxious, take a sip and take it easy."

Lan You took the herbal tea, gulped down half a can, and said, "It's really delicious, brother Qi, please try it."

Lan You buried her head until she was half full, so she slowed down, looked at Qi Xi, who was eating slowly and elegantly, and said, "Brother Qi is New Year's Day tomorrow, what time did you book the ticket." Qi Xi told him a long time ago that he I want to go back to the imperial capital for New Year's Day.

"A ticket at ten o'clock in the morning."

"Oh."

"What about you? How do you spend New Year's Day?"

"I am, of course, at school. I do this every year." As soon as Lan You finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

"Lan You, your grandma is dying, I want to see you for the last time, so hurry up and come back now..." Father Lan's tone was very impatient, and he said a lot.This damn old man is almost dead, and he still makes trouble for him.This dead old man is clamoring to see that scoundrel for the last time. Could it be that he has something good to do for him?But after thinking about it, I think it's impossible. I didn't know how many times I went through the dead old man's room, and I didn't find anything interesting.

The phone slipped from his hand, and the tears flowed down his face.Qi Xi walked quickly to Lan You and asked, "What's the matter, what happened?"

Lan You ignored him at all, and muttered in her mouth: "Go home, go home, I want to go home to see Grandma Zu,,," and ran out the door.

Qi Xi hugged him immediately: "What happened, tell me, or there may be a way."

Lan You, who was hugged, trembled all over, "My grandma is dying, I want to go home,,, go home to see him. I want to go home, let me go, let me go."

Looking at Lan You who was almost in a daze, how could Qi Xi let him leave alone, "Okay, go home, but it's so late now, there is no car, I'll take you home, you go get dressed, Let's go now, shall we?" Lan You nodded and put on her clothes tremblingly.

Qi Xi glanced at Lan You who was shivering on the co-pilot, stretched out a hand to rub his head, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, it's fine."

Lan You heard this sentence, but it was so pale.rest assured?fine?How he wished he could rest assured, that Grandma Grandma would be fine.

"Brother Qi, can you hurry up?" Lan You looked at Qi Xi with red and swollen eyes and said.

"Xiaoyou, I know you're in a hurry, but there's snow on the road outside, it's not safe to go too fast." Qi Xi replied helplessly.

"Yes,,, I'm sorry, I was too anxious, I didn't think about it,,,"

"I'm not blaming you, I'm just afraid of being unsafe." After Qi Xi finished speaking, he stepped on the accelerator helplessly and increased the speed a little.

Lan You felt the speed of the car increase, and said slowly: "Thank you."

The two of them had nothing to say all the way, and finally arrived at Lan You's house - Lanjia Village around ten o'clock.Although Lanjia Village is called Lanjia Village, the surname Lan is not the common surname in Lanjia Village. The surnames in Lanjia Village are very mixed. There are only fifty or sixty households in the whole village, but there are fifteen or six kinds of surnames.The surname Lan ranks at most around five.

Lan You pointed to a three-story blank house next to the village road, and said eagerly: "Brother Qi, this is here, my house is here."

Qi Xi parked the car beside the road, and Lan You immediately opened the door and ran out.When he was almost at the gate of the yard, Lan You turned back, stood outside the car window, and said to Qi Xi, "Brother Qi, come with me."

Qi Xi looked at Lan You's anxious face, still remembering himself, smiled unconsciously, and said, "I won't go, I'll go to the county town to find a hotel to live in later, go in quickly."

After hearing what he said, Lan You hesitated a little, Brother Qi specially sent him back, how could he be allowed to live outside at such a late hour?Lan You moved her lips and was about to speak.

Qi Xi saw what Lan You was thinking, stopped what he was going to say, and said: "It's okay, you go in quickly, I will come to see you tomorrow."

Lan You saw that he was very determined, and thought that this place in the county was also very close. "Brother Qi, you should drive carefully on the road, you must come tomorrow."

After Lan You finished speaking, she turned around and entered the yard very quickly, facing the closed gate, patted hard, and shouted: "Father Mu, Father Mu, open the door quickly..." After a while, Lan You Only then did I hear movement from inside, and the door was opened from the inside.

Father Lan opened the door, and when he saw Lan You, his face was very gloomy and gloomy.This is Lan Mu's father coming out of the room in a cotton-padded jacket and asking, "Who is it..." Before he could finish speaking, he saw Lan You standing at the gate, and immediately scolded: "You scoundrel!" My son, you woke us up in the middle of the night, and it was still snowing outside, are you trying to freeze me and your father to death? I really did a lot of sins in my previous life to give birth to you..."

Lan You was anxious to see grandma grandma, so she ignored Father Lamb's scolding, and asked eagerly, "Father, where is grandma grandpa? I'm going to see grandma grandpa."

Father Lan Mu heard Lan You's question, Cai stopped scolding Lan You, and said in a very bad tone: "Hmph, of course that old man is in the old house, where do you expect him to be? He also deserves to be in the new house." live."

Sitting in the car, Qi Xi watched Lan You's figure disappear into the dark night.He took out a cigarette, lit it, and didn't smoke, just watched the little sparks that flickered little by little, with regret in his eyes.When the little spark was almost burning to the filter, Qi Xi threw it out of the window, started the car, and left.

Lan You heard Father Lamb's words, turned and left, and ran towards the old house.The old house is a tile-roofed house, which was left by Lan You's grandfather's generation. It has been in disrepair for a long time and is very dilapidated.

Lan You walked towards the very familiar room, before she opened the door, there was a loud coughing sound from inside, Lan You felt pain in her heart, she pushed open the old wooden door with trembling hands, the wooden door made a 'squeak' sound.

"Who is it?" a weak voice asked.

"Grandma Zu." Lan You covered her mouth with trembling hands, tears trickled down her cheeks and into her mouth, feeling bitter.

"Yes,,, is it Xiaoyou? My Xiaoyou is back." The voice was weak, lifeless, and there was a trace of hope in the uncertainty.

"It's me, it's me, grandma Zu, Xiaoyou is back to see you." Lan You found the light cord in the dark and turned on the light.

The dim light shone in the room of more than [-] square meters, and there were some shadows.Lan You looked at the scrawny Grandma Zu who was lying on the bed, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

Lan You threw herself on the bed, "Aunt Grandma,,,,"

Grandma Zu, who was lying on the bed, pulled out her hand from the quilt, and gently wiped away the tears on Lan You's face, "My silly Xiaoyou, don't cry, it doesn't look good if you cry bad eyes." Such as childhood.

"Grandma Zu, you will be fine. We will go to the hospital tomorrow, and you will be fine." Lan You grabbed Grandma Zu's hand on his face and said stubbornly.

"Stupid child, what kind of hospital do you go to? Why waste that money? People always go there when the time comes. It's okay." Aunt Zu had a calm smile on her face.

"No, no, grandma grandpa wants to live a long life, I don't want you to go, grandpa grandma." Lan You said incoherently with tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry, um, Grandma Zu is very contented to live to this age. My biggest regret is that I didn't see my Xiaoyou get married and have children, but my Xiaoyou is so beautiful that she will marry a good man , and take good care of my Xiaoyou when the time comes." Grandma Zu pulled out her other hand under the quilt, rubbed Lan You's head, and gently wiped away his tears.

After a while, Grandma Grandma seemed to have thought of something. He got up and sat up, stretched one hand under the pillow, touched it for a long time, and then stretched it back.

Grandma Zu spread out her hand, and on the palm lay a piece of glistening white jade, engraved with patterns of dragon and phoenix showing auspiciousness, very delicate and beautiful.Grandma Zu put the white jade into Lan You's hand and said, "This piece of jade was left by Grandma Zu's Grandma, that is, your great-grandfather left it to Grandma Zu. Now Grandma Zu left it to you. You. According to your great-grandmother, it is just a family heirloom, which is only passed on to my elder brother. Grandma hopes that it can bless my little You'er with a safe and happy life."

"No, I don't want Yu, I only want Grandma Zu, I only want Grandma Zu." Lan You choked with tears.

"Xiaoyou, listen to Grandma Grandma's words and take this jade well." Panting for a while, he continued, "I never told your father, uncle, and aunt about this jade, take it away, and don't worry about it." Don't let them see you, you know?" Aunt Zu is very aware of the dispositions of her sons and daughters-in-law, if this jade is known to them, it will definitely cause great disturbance.Grandma Zu put Yu into the pocket of Lan You's coat and patted his head.

Lan You nodded with tears in her eyes, "I will, I will definitely hide this jade well."

"Good boy, go to bed quickly, it's freezing cold, don't freeze."

"No, I want to stay here with Grandma Grandma."

"Okay, then you can accompany me, the old man." Grandma Zu said with a smile all over her face.And vacate a warm seat for Lan You.
