Spring is coming

Xueli’s birthday is in winter, December 31st, and after this day is the New Year. Xueli remembers that many important events happened that year, but there are not many things that children’s world can hold, no matter how many or big events, Being far away has nothing to do with her, but the snow disaster that winter was particularly impressive.

The house was cut off from water and electricity for two consecutive months. Food and drink depended on disaster relief. Rain and snow fell one after another, freezing everything, and the outside world was truly icy and snowy.

This is a rare sight in the south, rarely seen in decades or even hundreds of years.

Thinking of this, Xueli recalled the "once-in-a-century" cold winter she heard on the taxi radio broadcast on Christmas Eve in the year Chunxin left.

For her, it was indeed a rare event in a hundred years. In a lifetime, one must experience such an unforgettable severe cold and pain.

At this time, winter is approaching, Xueli thought, something must be done.

……

There is still one week before Xueli's birthday, Chunxin hides in the room and makes her a birthday present, now Xueli has to knock on the door before returning to her own room, leaving time for Chunxin to hide the gift.

After entering the room, don't look around randomly. You have to pretend that you don't care, and you don't notice anything.

Xueli actually knew what she was doing, a magazine for school, a small purse sewn from the rags of old clothes.

After all, there is an adult's soul, and she doesn't even need to look for it deliberately, she can get a rough guess by just guessing, not to mention that Chun Xin gave her the same gift in her previous life.

Xueli really knows her too well, she is a part of her life, an indispensable part.Maybe Chun Xin once loved her like his life, but he didn't know it then, and now he's here to pay off the debt.

They will start junior high school tomorrow summer, and they have never felt that time passes so fast.

She often thinks about how she lived during the ten years when Chun Xin left. She can't remember many details, and there are no major events worth remembering. Maybe she doesn't care about everything.

That was indeed a matter of the previous life, just like the childhood that Chun Xin didn't want to relive, those ten years were also Xue Li's nightmare.

Xueli was doing her winter vacation homework in the living room, and when she heard a coal seller shouting downstairs, she put down her pen, opened the door, and went out to stop the coal seller.

The oxygen factory also has a row of coal sheds downstairs. The coal at home is running out, and the ice and snow will come soon. In the snow, the coal sellers are asked to fill up the coal sheds as much as they can.

"Fill it all up?" The coal sellers were dumbfounded, "Then at least one cart must be pulled."

Xueli said: "Then pull a cart, don't worry, my adults will get off work soon, I have been living here, the house will not run away, and neither will the coal. Pull me a cart of coal quickly."

"Okay." The coal seller agreed, went to say hello to the guard, drove the tractor in, dumped all the coal on the ground, and shoveled it into the coal shed manually.

When Jiang Mengyan came home from get off work, she was told by Xueli that she had bought a load of coal for the family, and the coal seller was still waiting, so hurry up and pay.

Jiang Mengyan stood downstairs with a small bag on her shoulders, looking at the overcrowded coal sheds, she was also dumbfounded, "Why... why do you want to buy coal..."

If there is too much coal, the coal will not go bad, just leave it and use it slowly, but why buy so much coal.

Xueli has always had her own ideas. Although Jiang Mengyan is puzzled, she firmly believes that she must have her own reasons for doing so.Besides, the coal has been installed, so it will be too much trouble to return it.

Jiang Mengyan took out the money, chatted casually with the neighbors, hooked Xueli's neck and went upstairs, "Look at the neighbors, they all laughed, saying that you are sensible and know how to help run the house, and bought this big car of coal."

That's what Jiang Mengyan said, how could it be that Xueli couldn't hear the yin and yang of those old ladies.

She hummed, "Sometimes they cry."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Mengyan quickly turned her head to look, "What?"

Xueli had no choice but to make an excuse and said, "I read the weather forecast. It will snow next week. The house is out of coal. Buy more. What if the price of coal goes up?"

Jiang Mengyan gave her a thumbs up, "It's too prescient, our coal is really running out."

At dinner in the evening, Jiang Mengyan said to Zhao Cheng: "Your daughter is promising and will take care of the house. She bought a large truckload of coal..."

Zhao Cheng said, "Really?"

Jiang Mengyan poked her thumb behind her, "Go down and look, it's all full."

The two of them didn't eat their meals, and they were about to go out after putting down their bowls. Xueli had no choice but to say, "Let's watch after eating!"

Zhao Cheng had already put on his clothes and went downstairs, "Eat after watching."

Chun Xin dug two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, waved his arms to join in the fun, and said vaguely, "Look, look, I want to watch too."

All three of them went out to look at the coal, and Xueli was left alone by the iron stove.

As a result, Chun Xin came back within half a minute and buried herself in cooking. Obviously, the coal did not interest her.

Xueli sighed inwardly, wouldn't she have to take care of this family?It's really not easy for her.

Three days before Xueli's birthday, Zhao Cheng and Jiang Mengyan asked her what gift she wanted, and Xueli said she wanted money.

Jiang Mengyan thought she was weird, "You used to say it was casual."

Xueli sat on the sofa and watched the weather forecast, "You can't keep up with what children like, so give me money and buy what you want."

"Hey." Jiang Mengyan looked at Zhao Cheng, "Listen."

Zhao Cheng smiled, "Dongdong has grown up."

There are children of this age who are precocious, but they don't have her natural tone.

Chun Xin squatted on the ground peeling oranges, his two big black eyes turned around, he felt that he could not understand Xueli's words more and more, she was so mature, like an adult.

Thinking that she will go to junior high school next year, the clothes Xueli wears are all solid colors, and there are cartoon patterns on her clothes.

It's not just clothes, her shoes, schoolbag, and stationery are all cartoons.

Chun Xin lowered his head in low self-esteem, turned his body sideways, and moved the little yellow duck feather slippers on his feet out of Xueli's sight.

"Look, it's going to snow, and it will snow in two days." Xueli pointed to the TV, "Did you see, Nanzhou City, minus six degrees."

"Yo!" Jiang Mengyan quickly dived into the TV, "Really, my Dongdong really has the foresight..."

Xueli picked her ears, alas, she was already tired of listening to compliments.

On her birthday, Jiang Mengyan took them to the mall to buy clothes, also new clothes for the New Year.

I bought a pink and white long down jacket for Chunxin, which is matched with a woolen skirt, plus fleece boots, and paired with her two curly long ponytails on the left and right, just like the little actor in the TV commercial nice.

Jiang Mengyan rubs fragrance for her every night when she sleeps, making her face pink and white. This child has been raised very well by her. Her hair is curly, her eyelashes are also curly, her mouth is the most beautiful, and her lips are also curled up. Rare.

Jiang Mengyan couldn't help but think of Chunlai, Chunxin's twin sister who had been lost for many years, and thought that such a pair of beautiful little girls would not care about anyone's family, that is, Yin's family, so they will not hesitate.

Such a good child, why did he vote for Yin's family.

Chun Xin turned around in front of the mirror, and the shop assistants all praised her for being cute, she must be beautiful when she grows up, Chun Xin is so beautiful, if she had a long tail behind her buttocks, she would be so happy to wag her to the sky.

Jiang Mengyan turned her head and asked Xueli, "What about you?"

Xueli pointed, "Over there." It's an adult women's clothing store.

Jiang Mengyan said: "Are you an old lady?"

Xueli said, "The old lady doesn't have such good taste as I do."

She often speaks very calmly, without much ups and downs. When she speaks this sentence, with her expressionless face, she looks more like an old lady.

Chun Xinmei had been beautiful for less than half an hour, when she saw Xueli coming out of the fitting room, she began to feel inferior.

Xueli is now almost 1.6 meters tall. In addition to being thinner in adult clothes, the length is just right, especially when the ponytail is loosened.

Of course, if you look closely, you can still see that the face is still tender and fleshy, but the eyes don't look like those of a child.

Chunxin sat on the chair with his back hunched, his feet still couldn't reach the ground, and saw that Xueli was already as tall as the clerk who was tidying her clothes. She looked down at her two short legs, and there were actually a pair of little wings on her boots. ...

Dongdong is so mature, Chunxin is so inferior.

Xueli turned into a mature adult, Zhao Cheng didn't recognize her when she returned home, she stood with her back in the living room, Zhao Cheng asked politely: "Hi, are you Mengyan's friend?"

Jiang Mengyan was rolling with laughter, Chunxin jumped up and down, "Hahahaha, it's Dongdong! It's Dongdong!"

Soon she realized that her behavior was very immature, and the joyful laughter stopped abruptly, and she sat down on the sofa with a sullen face.

Seeing her in Xueli, she pretended to be mature and smiled, "It's Dongdong."

After eating, lighting candles, making a wish, and eating cake, this set of routine procedures was completed, and when he returned to his room, Chun Xin took out the gift he had prepared.

A box was folded out of gift box paper, and ribbons were glued to it. It was the size of a palm. Chunxin pushed it in front of Xueli with both hands, and watched her unwrap it with his chin resting on his hands.

It was a bit different from Xueli's imagination, a small fan-shaped wallet with a zipper, I don't know where she got it, and there was a layer inside.

The white corduroy fabric is the main body, it seems to be a small dress that Chunxin can't wear for a long time, the pink plaid should be old pants, and the outside is embroidered with plum blossoms on the outside with the kind of colorful beads that cost [-] cents a bag. The overall style is very cute .

Afraid she would not understand, Chun Xin hurriedly explained, "Plum blossoms bloom in winter, the white ones are snow, and the red ones are plum blossoms!"

Xueli said: "I like it very much." She put the keys, the coins in the drawer, and the change of more than 20 yuan.

Chun Xin laughed foolishly, "I'm afraid you'll dislike me."

Xueli asked her what she disliked, and she said that the trick of disliking was childish and not for adults.

Xueli said shamelessly, "I was originally a child too."

Chun Xin said, "But you don't like flowers on your clothes."

"But the one you gave is different. You still made it yourself."

Chun Xin became proud again, "That's right, the ones I made are of the best quality. The ones bought from outside are not sewed firmly at all, and they will fall apart if you pull them. Mine is very strong, the cloth is strong, the thread is also strong, and I sew it well." good."

She leaned over and opened the stitches inside to show her, "Look, it's even more neat than machine sewing, and the thread can't stop biting..."

"Okay, very good." Xueli said, "I'll use this from now on, it's very practical, really."

"Yes!" Chun Xin strongly agreed with this point, "Practical things are good."

After New Year's Day, the temperature really started to drop. It hasn't snowed yet, but the north wind is blowing. The stove is burning at home, and the doors and windows are closed, but it is not cold.

My lord went to work, Chun Xin lay on the table and copied from the album, brushed off a paper in the snow, looked up and said, "Go out and buy something."

As soon as he heard that he was going to go out, Chun Xin stopped painting and put away his pen, "Let's go."

Xueli didn't panic, opened Jiang Mengyan and Zhao Cheng's bedroom door and walked in. Chunxin was still sitting by the fire and twisted his body to look at her, "What are you doing?"

"Find something."

Xue Li found the key from the cabinet with ease, took the key and opened the bottom drawer of the bedside table, Chun Xin ran over and stuck to the door to look, "What are you doing!"

Xueli didn't speak, and took out a few big bills from the cabinet, locked the drawer, and put the key back in its original place.

"You stole mother's money!" Chun Xin yelled, covering his mouth again, "Oh, put it back quickly, what are you doing with so much money!"

Xueli slowly walked out from the inside, opened the small change bag and put the money in, "What is stealing, I am taking my own money."

Chun Xin was shocked by her righteousness, opened his mouth wide, and didn't recover for a long time.

Xueli took her to the supermarket and started shopping like crazy. Chunxin was frightened by her aggressiveness again, stopped her from buying, and returned the money, "Why did you buy so many things, you didn't tell mom."

"I won't agree to it if I tell her. I'll buy it first." Xueli stuffed two packs of potato chips into her arms, "Do you want it?"

Chun Xin stood there for three seconds, "...Then, what do I want?"

The newly-opened chain supermarket outside the community, if you buy a lot, it will be delivered to your home. The three shopping carts are so full that they can’t fit in the refrigerator, so they put them on the balcony. Anyway, it’s cold outside now, so it’s not afraid of damage.

Chun Xin watched her come in and out dozens of times, and finally packed up everything. She didn't seem to spend money randomly, except for the chocolate and potato chips bought for her, they were all vegetables and meat.

Chun Xin was sitting on the sofa, anxiously waiting for her parents to come home, her frowning did not affect her chewing potato chips, "You will definitely be scolded, maybe you will be beaten."

Xueli washed her hands and sat next to her, "Then you will report on me?"

Chun Xin was very conflicted, "There are so many things, even if I don't tell you, mom will find out..."

She began to think about how to help her cover it up.

Xueli flicked her nails leisurely, and asked her, "Have you thought about it, what should I do?"

"What should I do?" Chun Xin was also angry, "Why didn't you ask what to do when you took the money?!"

Xueli intentionally teased the child, "Then you can even sit down, and if I say you saw it, you won't be able to run away."

"Then what can I do? It's all your fault." Chun Xin gritted his potato chips, "You still used the small money I gave you to pack the stolen money."

"You ate potato chips and fruit peels." Xueli kicked the trash can beside her, "criminal evidence."

Chun Xin completely collapsed, "You big villain!"

At 06:30 in the afternoon, Chun Xin went to wash rice and steamed rice. At [-]:[-], she saw Jiang Mengyan and Zhao Cheng coming back from get off work together from the window. She went to the door to contemplate, opened the door and rushed out.

Xueli also ran out quickly, lying on the handrail of the stairs to watch.

Chun Xin slammed into his parents' arms like a small cannonball, and pointed upstairs, "Mom and Dad, it's not good, the employees from the supermarket suddenly came to our house today and stuffed a lot of things into our refrigerator, we stopped them all I can't help it... They said they were selling things, and then they went into the room and took the money away..."

Jiang Mengyan: "What?"

Zhao Cheng: "???"

Xueli squatted on the ground clutching her stomach, almost dying of laughter.
