Spring is coming

"But my name is no longer Chunlai. My name is Jiang Xiaolai. I have my father's surname."

This is completely unexpected, because of the word 'Lai', there is still a connection between the twins, it is like an invisible bond, one end is tied to Chun Xin, and the other end is tied to Xiao Lai, when they are close enough to each other, A band of light will appear, guiding them to find each other.

Xiao Lai said: "Actually, I don't remember many things. My father told me. He said that when he first picked me up, I still knew my name. My name is Chunlai, and Lai is Jin." Dalai’s Lai. Actually, I don’t know why I said that, but my father said it might be because adults often tell me, so I just remembered.”

Xueli helped her lift the bucket, and there was already a big carp in it. Xiao Lai put away the folding fishing rod, small horse trap, and bait box, put them into the canvas bag at her feet, and went to the studio with Xueli to find her sister.

In the taxi, Xiao Lai told Xueli that she was a third-year music student at the Academy of Arts, her father was a forest ranger, and her brother was a soldier.

"My father remembers a lot of things I said before. He said that the word Lai is very good. I was given to him by God. He knew that I was one of the twins. He said that when I grow up, I will not look for my father or my mother. At least To find my sister, because we are twins. He also said that our name represents the coming of spring, what a name, why doesn't the adults cherish us?"

Xiao Lai laughed at this point, showing a row of sparkling white teeth, "My father said that if he could really find them, he would have two daughters, and my brother also said that he would have two younger sisters. "

Her smile is very different from Chun Xin's. Most of the time, Chun Xin smiles shyly with his mouth closed and his eyes squinted.She is a child who grew up in the mountains, and she is different everywhere.

Through her description, Xueli probably knows what kind of two people her father and elder brother are. She grew up in a free, healthy and inclusive family. Outwardly confident and cheerful.

Xueli asked, "Then how did your father pick you up?"

Xiao Lai said: "I picked it up on the side of the road. He patrolled the mountains and went to the side of the road. He found me lying in the heavy rain with a high fever, so he took me away. And my brother, who was also picked up by my father, It was also picked up in the grass nest while patrolling the mountains. My father is a demobilized soldier. He has no parents and wife. He often said that family members can also be chosen by themselves. He picked up two family members for himself.”

She speaks slowly, and her voice is so good that even the taxi driver listened with bated breath.

The bald middle-aged driver learned a lot of things through their conversations, and was also happy for the upcoming reunion of the sisters. This incident deserves him to post five in the group of car friends who usually chat and fart in 1 minute and 59 seconds long voice.

Xiao Lai is really lucky to have met such a wonderful family. Seeing their similarities and differences, Xue Li felt even more heartbroken for Chun Xin, and she was extremely grateful that they could make it to this day.

The sisters who have been separated for more than ten years are about to meet again.

There was a traffic jam during the evening rush hour, and she remained motionless for 10 minutes, so Xueli simply took her out of the car and walked slowly towards her destination.

Taking this opportunity, Xueli also talked about Chunxin. She didn't talk about the past, only said that the present, the past belongs to Xueli Chunxin alone. Besides, there is no third person who knows, and they don't need to know.

Xueli still talked more about Chunxin's childhood. She had a little selfishness, and hoped that Xiaolai would not resent her sister because she was abandoned by her biological father. Chunxin had a bad childhood, and she was almost sold.

She might not be as lucky as Xiao Lai, who was thrown by traffickers on the side of the road because of a high fever, but it was a blessing in disguise to meet a very good family member.

No matter what kind of person Xiao Lai is, Xue Li doesn't want this meeting to bring harm to Chun Xin.

Xiao Lai listened carefully to her words with a canvas bag on her shoulders. They walked very slowly. It was only 400 meters from the place where they got off the car to the studio.

Standing under the camphor tree on the sidewalk, Xiao Lai raised her face and smiled at her, "So you said she was with you, but this one." She looked back as she spoke, and her eyes fell on the fruit stand 50 meters away. .

Standing beside the stall was a man wearing a black fisherman's hat, black sweater and trousers, and black sneakers. He held his black sunglasses on the bridge of his nose with his hands from time to time, pretending to pick fruit, and his head seemed to be tilted to this side inadvertently.

"Your friend?" Xueli also saw that there was something wrong with that person, and she didn't know when she started following them.

"It's mine..." The words turned twice in his mouth, but Xiao Lai still chose to answer truthfully, "My ex-girlfriend."

"Ex-girlfriend!" It was rare for Xueli to turn pale. She was sure that she heard correctly, it was her ex-girlfriend.

At the moment, I don't know whether the focus should be on the word "before" or the word "girlfriend" on the latter.

"Let's go, let's leave her alone, she's always nagging."

"Is it really okay?" Xueli was very serious, and took out her mobile phone from her pocket, "If she continues to harass you, we can call the police!"

Xueli was already preparing to videotape her as evidence, Xiao Lai smiled and pulled her away, "She's tactful, she won't disturb us, let's go."

Xueli turned her head three times at a step, and the girl in black didn't know where to hide.

When they arrived at the door of the studio, Xueli was not in a hurry to lead her in. Obviously, she still wanted to say something. Xiao Lai was very smart, and she had already understood the meaning of the words. elder sister."

Xueli nodded, "You are sisters, I very much hope that you can meet, she will be very happy."

Xiao Lai understood what she meant, "I also want to see my sister." Although she is a younger sister, she looks much more stable than Chun Xin.

They sat in the yard and looked at Chun Xin through the glass door of the hall on the first floor. She was wearing gloves and a mask, and was making pictures for the guests. .

Xiao Lai stared at her intently. Her work was coming to an end and she was wrapping plastic wrap around the arms of the guests. Her mouth could not be seen. The mask moved a little, probably explaining some precautions.

Her guests are also looking at her, looking at her beautiful big eyes, and complimenting her hair, she smiles shyly, her eyes are crescent moons just rising from the top of the tree.

After the incident, she took off her mask and gloves, exposed her face and talked to the people next to her, Xiao Lai's eyes widened, "She's so beautiful, she's so white!"

Xueli said in her heart that no one in this courtyard is whiter than you, but Chun Xin is indeed the whitest and the best-looking.

Looking back inadvertently, like the first ray of sunlight falling on the stream in the two ravines in the morning, they met their eyes through a glass door. After nearly 17 years, the other party was no longer the one in memory, but it was still the same. I recognized it.

Chun Xin didn't look away, and she couldn't hear what the person next to him said. She opened the door and walked out, never leaving her eyes from the beginning to the end.

"It's Xiaolai." Xueli introduced her: "Her name is Jiang Xiaolai."

"Xiao Lai..." Chun Xin stretched out his hand, not knowing how to say hello for a moment, he opened and clenched his palm, his eyes were sore, "Xiao Lai."

Xiao Lai went up to meet her, held her hand, gave her a place to rely on, and said with a smile, "Chun Xin! Sister!"

"Xiao Lai..."

The elder sister's voice was full of magic, and the tide in his heart was surging. Chun Xin started to cry as soon as his mouth puckered, "Xiao Lai, Xiao Lai...why are you here?"

"I'm here, don't cry!" Xiao Lai hurriedly hugged her, as if in her mother's womb, in the hospital, on the bed at home, in the same little clothes they wore When she was wearing clothes and shoes, she could often hear her crying.

They are the closest blood relatives to each other in the world, so many days and nights of separation did not cut off their kinship, countless times they missed each other and looked forward to each other at both ends of the world.

They recognized each other just by meeting each other, like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, without unfamiliar greetings, they hugged each other, letting tears wet their shoulders.

Tang Yichen rushed out to ask what was the matter, and the apprentices and customers in the shop followed suit. Xueli shook his head at them and led the two girls to the grape arbor.

The dense vine leaves blocked those curious eyes and circled a small quiet world for them. Chun Xin raised his hand and stroked Xiao Lai's face, then looked at his fingers to make sure it was not makeup before saying, "Xiao Lai, you are so black. "

Xiao Lai grinned so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, Chun Xin sniffed and said, "Xiao Lai, your teeth are so white."

Xiao Lai laughed even harder, rubbing her sore cheeks, and couldn't wait to talk to her again. She already knew a lot about her sister, and now she wanted to let her know about her.

Let’s start with fishing. Xiao Lai straightened his back and looked around. Da Da ran over and brought over the bucket placed at the gate of the yard, “Sister, look, I fished in the afternoon. I have been fishing at school for more than half a year. This is the first time I catch such a big one, shall I cook it for you? Do you want the steamed one or the braised one?"

Chun Xin stretched out a finger to poke the fish, "My dad must like you very much, he's so cute fishing."

Xiao Lai squatted beside her, "My father must also like you. He kept my name just to let me find you, saying that you are my only relative in this world."

Looking closer, it looks even better, that familiar face is so different on Chun Xin's body, this is her sister.

Xiao Lai couldn't hold back and kissed her on the face, Chun Xin stepped back shyly, "What are you doing?"

"Let me make fish for you." Xiao Lai tilted her head to play with her two long braids, and brushed her playfully with them, "I'll make you whatever you want, I know how to cook more."

So they took the fish and went to the small kitchen on the second floor of the studio to cook. The rest of the people were locked out, and there were only three of them in the room. Xue Li helped, and Chun Xin stood beside him talking to Xiao Lai.

The kitchen has a small space, and the three of them are not bothered by crowding around. Xiao Lai is very dexterous in doing things. Chun Xin was worried that she would be abused at home, so he asked her if she was being bullied.

Xiao Lai shook his head, "My father wants to patrol the mountains. My brother is studying in the town. I usually cook by myself. Sometimes I cook on the mountain and eat with my father when he comes back. Sometimes I cook at home and take them to the mountain. "

Lai is very good at everything, but these are the things she likes to do, and she can find fun in it.

Her knife skills are very good, shredded potatoes are of the same thickness, she can also handle fish, she can scrape scales, she can say whatever comes to her mind, talk about her father and brother, and also about herself, those fragmentary words and sentences are in Chun Xin's mind They form a series of picture scrolls, in which there is a little Lai with two long braids running around with his trousers.

Xiao Lai also said that there was a horse in the family, and a pony was born one year, and she rode that pony up and down the mountain. Later, the old horse died, and the pony took his father's place to patrol the mountains. The horse rides.

"My father said that when he first picked me up, he took me to the town to see a doctor on horseback. There are many big dogs in our family, and I have one now. I will bring it to see you when I have time. It is called Cornucopia, now show the landlord grandma the gate."

Xiao Lai does not live in the school, she rents a house near the school, and now lives alone.Xueli guessed that she probably lived with her girlfriend before, but they broke up for some reason.

Xiao Lai talked about everything except the girl in black at the fruit stand on the side of the road this afternoon, and Xueli didn't say anything, they ate the food by themselves, and didn't call anyone, not even Tang Yichen.

Chun Xin was reluctant to part with her, and kept holding her in his arms after dinner, like a new toy, and wanted to take her back to show her parents.

This is Xiao Lai, her younger sister, and Chun Xin is also her older sister.

Xiao Lai is beautiful, she doesn't have that silly rustic look on her body, she is very smart,

In the face of the sticky and coquettish elder sister, she should be pampered blindly. If it is a relationship question that she does not want to answer, she will cleverly make a detour.

The twins are not exactly the same, both of them have lost their IQ to Xiao Lai.

Xiao Lai agreed to go home with her, Chun Xin was overjoyed, and told her to take the fishing rod, "You know how to fish, and you must have a lot to say to my parents, and you can share your fishing experience!"

In the taxi, Chunxin also had a lot to say to her. She and Xueli had a tacit understanding and only talked about the things in this life, not the things in the past, and only talked about happy ones. Words have been taken.

For Xiao Lai, the blood relatives in Rongxian County were no longer her family, but Chun Xin was the one. My lord was sorry for her, my sister was not sorry for her, she only recognized my sister.

When they got home, it was naturally quite lively. Jiang Mengyan jumped up and down like crazy, pointing at them, "Two! Two! Twins! Live twins!"

"Two two! It's really two." Zhao Cheng fumbled on the sofa to find glasses, "It can't be a fake."

"Twins still pretend to be?" Jiang Mengyan kicked him.

Xiao Lai greeted her generously and bowed slightly, Jiang Mengyan scratched her ears anxiously, "I didn't even say a word when I came, and I didn't even prepare a gift."

Zhao Cheng wanted to go out to buy, but Xiao Lai hurriedly stopped him, and the five members of the family crowded around and screamed.

Xiao Lai has never said so many things in her life. She told her sister what she said to Xueli, and said it again to her parents. Drank four or five glasses of water.

"They're all poor babies." Jiang Mengyan touched her face, "Then you haven't had a mother since you were a child."

Xiao Lai nodded, "No woman wants to be with him, and he is also afraid that we will be abused."

Jiang Mengyan probed, "Then would you like to call me mom?"

But just like Chun Xin couldn't say 'Daddy' at first, Xiao Lai was also unfamiliar with 'Mom', she shook her head slightly, "I haven't called it before, I can't call it out."

"It's okay." Jiang Mengyan didn't make things difficult for her, "I'll get to know you gradually in the future."

Chun Xin looked for clothes for Xiao Lai in the room, gave her his pajamas and slippers, poked on Xue Li's phone, and was ready to buy her a brand new set, including toothbrushes and towels, so it would be convenient for her to come here in the future.

Xiao Lai went to take a bath, Chun Xin was not busy at once, sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, Xue Li leaned over, grabbed her hand and squeezed her fingers one by one, "What are you thinking about?"

Chun Xin let out a long sigh, and leaned on Xueli's shoulder, "I was wondering if Xiao Lai from the previous life had long since disappeared. She had a high fever and was thrown by the roadside by human traffickers. In fact, no one's kind uncle rode her away on horseback. To the hospital in town. She might have been with me... No, she might have gone earlier, she suffered much more than I did, and she's still so young."

Xueli doesn't know comfort, this possibility is not impossible.

"It's okay." Chun Xin wiped his face.

Feeling that her hands were a little cold, Xueli got up and took her fur pajamas and put them on for her, then suddenly remembered that she also had to buy a fur pajamas for Xiao Lai.

Xueli said to herself, "It has to be the same style, but different colors." Well, twins, anyway, she sees twins in other people's families like this.

Chun Xin doesn't need to be comforted, no matter what, it's good to see Xiao Lai now.

At night, the three girls lay on the big bed in the bedroom, covered with two quilts, Chun Xin slept in the middle, with Xueli on the left and Xiao Lai on the right.

The three slender girls in the big bed don't feel crowded, so it's fun for you to cling to me and I to you.

Chun Xin turned over to face Xiao Lai, stroking her hair tenderly like a sister, "Xiao Lai, it's good to see you."

"Me too." Xiao Lai put her hand on her neck. This action made her feel very familiar. She probably used to touch her sister's neck to sleep when she was a child.

"Have you ever thought about me?" Chun Xin said, "I don't even dare to think about you. I'm afraid you're gone, because you were still so young at that time, and my aunt said that the police searched for a long time but couldn't find it."

"I miss you, I miss you more when I grow up, I think they can sell me, maybe they will sell you, I'm afraid you're not doing well." Xiao Lai said: "I'm doing well .”

Chun Xin's eyes were red again, "Me too."

Xiao Lai said: "You love to cry so much, I always dream of you crying on the side, and I can't sleep because of the noise."

Why does Xiao Lai have such a dream, why can she hear her cry?

Maybe Xiao Lai really fell asleep early and was gone, and she was crying all the time because she was having a bad time.

Tears blurred her vision, Chun Xin was made very uncomfortable by these messy thoughts, she suppressed and choked up, "Then, when you were young, did someone help you comb your hair."

Xiao Lai said: "My dad doesn't know how to comb my hair, and he would tear off a lot of my hair every time. Fortunately, I have enough hair. Hehe, I learned to comb my hair later, it's very simple."

Chun Xin said, "You must do a lot of work at home."

"It's okay, just feed the horses, feed the dogs, I often go to the mountains with my father to play." Xiao Lai really didn't expect her sister to be a crying bag, she is so delicate!

Taking a sneak peek at Xueli, seeing that she wasn't paying attention, Xiao Lai secretly kissed her sister's face, "Come home with me to play during the holidays. I'll take you to ride a horse. Don't cry!"

"Why are you crying again?" Xueli closed the book and read it.

Xiao Lai shrank back guiltily, Chun Xin wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, "Happy."
