Zhao Zhixin was wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, sitting on the kang table with his hands curled up and pointing at Shi Rong, "Tie your scarf more times, put on a hat, and put on gloves and a thermos..."

Shi Rong felt like a big stupid bear, his whole body was covered tightly, and his parents thought he was under-dressed. He wrinkled his nose, "I know, I know!"

Zhao Zhixin sneered, "It's such a cold day and you still insist on going to the movies. You really have nothing to do."

He, Zhao Zhixin, is also the one who loves to join in the fun, but the weather is so cold, and the cold wind is blowing, and his teeth may be chattering from the cold after just sitting for a while. Do he deserve to suffer this?

Not to mention that Shi Rong is already weak. What if he catches a cold and a fever?

Shi Wenxiu snorted coldly, "After you finish the movie, come back early. Of course, you don't have to listen. Your father and I can't control you anymore..."

Shi Rong was quite skillful in dealing with Comrade Shi Wenxiu. He rushed over and muttered: "Mom! What are you talking about? I'm going to go watch a movie and be back soon. I haven't seen much of it before. Where’s the movie…”

Shi Rong was weak and would catch a cold and have a fever whenever he caught a cold. So in winter, Shi Wenxiu and Zhao Zhixin basically wouldn't let him go out. It was only in recent years, when his health improved a little, that the couple relaxed their control.

Thinking of Shi Rong who stayed at home every winter, looking at the snowy scene outside through the window, Shi Wenxiu's heart softened: "You are so grown up, and you are still acting like a baby. Go ahead, go back early."

Shi Rong smiled: "Okay!"

He whispered: "When I come back, I will bring you fried melon seeds to eat!"

After saying that, Shi Rong picked up the kettle, took a small bench, and went out happily.

Shi Rong, this stingy little guy, is still willing to spend money? He saved all the money they gave Shi Rong and counted it every day. He felt bad for spending every penny. Why would he be willing to buy fried melon seeds?

Shi Wenxiu was stunned and looked at Zhao Zhixin, suspecting that she had heard wrongly, "Fried melon seeds?"

Zhao Zhixin had seen through everything. He retracted his hand and said calmly: "I must have asked Xie Zhiqing to buy it for him again."

Shi Wenxiu frowned, she still felt something was wrong, "It's not a matter of family or friendship, Rong Rong keeps spending money from educated youths, isn't it a problem..."

"Xie Zhiqing's family is rich, and he regards us as younger brothers." Zhao Zhixin thinks it's okay. He doesn't take advantage of it. "Anyway, we can't suffer any loss."

Shi Wenxiu still frowned, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing this, Zhao Zhixin took Shi Wenxiu into his arms and covered him with a quilt, "You, you, don't think so much, it's such a cold day, just sleep!"

……

Shi Rong was about to go to Xie Shuchen's house with a kettle and a small stool, but before he had taken two steps outside, he saw Xie Shuchen standing quietly not far away.

He wore a thick black cotton coat, but he didn't look bloated. He just stood upright under the tree, with a handsome face and picturesque eyebrows, no matter how handsome he looked.

"Rongrong?"

"Ah, ah?" Shi Rong came back to his senses and found that Xie Shuchen had walked in front of him at some point, lowering his head and staring at him tenderly.

Xie Shuchen didn't ignore Shi Rong's daze when he saw him. He reached out and took Shi Rong's water bottle and small stool, and the corners of his lips curled up, "What was Rong Rong thinking about just now?"

"No, it's nothing." Shi Rong felt a little flustered for no reason. He trembled his eyelashes and said, "Thank you, brother, let's go to the threshing floor quickly. If we get there late, we won't have a seat."

Xie Shuchen stared at the butterfly-like eyelashes for a while, resisted the urge to fiddle with them, and said softly: "Okay."

When he arrived at the threshing floor, Shi Rong realized that he had underestimated the enthusiasm of the villagers. They arrived not too late, but the center was still three floors inside and three outside, and it was tightly surrounded.

Seeing Shi Rong's excited little face wrinkle up in disappointment, Xie Shuchen glanced around and thought of a good way to divert Shi Rong's attention: "Rong Rong, do you want to eat melon seeds?"

Shi Rong came here on a cold day just to get closer to Xie Shuchen and get some melon seeds by the way. Before he could think of how to speak, Xie Shuchen unexpectedly brought it up so wisely.

A smile suddenly appeared on his face, and his eyes were eager, like a greedy little cat, "I want to eat!"

Xie Shuchen knew that this move was very useful for Shi Rong. Because the young man is really a glutton, he can't walk when he sees something delicious. Occasionally he gets angry, but he can be calmed down quickly by getting something delicious.

There were a lot of people in front of the melon seed stall. After all, it was rare to watch a movie and the Chinese New Year was coming soon. Everyone couldn't help but be a little generous and bought a handful or a pack for the children to try.

Shi Rong and Xie Shuchen waited for a while, and then it was their turn. Xie Shuchen bought a large bag of melon seeds for [-] cents, and gave them all to Shi Rong.

Holding the melon seeds, Shi Rong stood on tiptoe and could only see a dark mass of human heads. He sighed, "You can't see any movies here at all..."

Xie Shuchen smiled and pointed to the wall not far away. He had already observed the terrain when he came, "I saw a good place, Rong Rong, have you ever climbed a tree?"

Shi Rong understood the meaning of Xie Shuchen's words. He stared at the tall wall in shock, "I've never climbed... Isn't this wall a bit high?"

Xie Shuchen came from a military family, so climbing up a wall was just a trivial matter to him, but when he saw Shi Rong's frightened expression, he comforted him: "I will protect you."

After a pause, he added: "If Rong Rong is scared if she sits on the wall, then I'll borrow a taller stool and you can stand on the stool and watch?"

Shi Rong thought about it carefully, he would definitely be exhausted after standing for so long. And the edge of the wall is so wide that it's not that easy to fall off. Besides, the viewing angle there is pretty good...

After weighing it for a long time, Shi Rong whispered: "Well, let's go to the wall."

Xie Shuchen smiled and led Shi Rong to the wall. Then, before Shi Rong could react, he hugged him whole.

"Ah!" Shi Rong panicked and lay on Xie Shuchen's body, holding Xie Shuchen's neck tightly. He was too frightened to move and almost spilled the melon seeds in his hand.

"Rong Rong, please straighten up." Xie Shuchen's voice from underneath him was steady and powerful, causing Shi Rong's head to gradually calm down. He listened to his command: "I will lift you up, but you must hold on to the eaves of the wall."

Shi Rong obediently obeyed, loosened his hand around Xie Shuchen's neck, and tried to straighten his back, "...Yeah."

The next moment, the wind started to blow, Shi Rong's body lightened up, and he sat firmly on the edge of the wall. He blinked and looked down, feeling a little amused: "Thank you, brother, your head only reaches my feet."

Xie Shuchen smiled, grabbed Shi Rong's ankle, and tried to pull him off: "Really? Do you want Rong Rong to come down and compete with me again?"

"No, no, no! Thanks, brother, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
