hang out

After eating, we gathered in the yard.The door lights of the two houses were all on, illuminating the yard brightly.The black curtain-like sky against the continuous falling snow is as dreamy as the artificial special effects of a stage play.

The ankle-deep snow went from flat to piled up, Yan Ziqing said, like big balls of cotton candy.

Lin Tai is a man of ten thousand years, and nothing can make him happy by reading. After being pulled out by his brother forcibly, he squatted in the snow and played with reluctance.A face that was still resisting at first, soon burst into a smile.

Lin Jinglei and Yan Zizheng pushed snow from both sides to the middle with a shovel, while Lin Tai and Yan Ziqing rolled snowballs in the middle.

Tong Yuying, who finished washing the dishes, stood in front of the window and looked outside, then went back to the house to get some things and opened the door to come out.

Yan Zizheng thought that Tong Yuying at the door was waving to call Lin Jinglei next to him, but Lin Jinglei elbowed him, and he realized that he was calling him.

Tong Yuying nodded at Yan Zizheng, and then looked at Yan Ziqing who was having a good time: "Xiaoqing is also coming over, to Auntie!"

When the two children came to the front, Tong Yuying handed over the two earbags in her hand: "Wearing them, it's so cold."

Yan Zizheng stood there without reaching out to pick it up, which made Lin Jinglei who followed anxiously, he took the earbag and put it on Yan Zizheng's head: "You can wear it if you are told."

Yan Zizheng had no choice but to put the earbags on with Lin Jinglei's hands, and wanted to bend down to help his sister put them on, but Tong Yuying took the lead.

Tong Yuying squatted down, first recombed Yan Ziqing's messy braid, then put on the earbags, and finally tapped the little girl's red nose with her fingers and said with a smile: "Go and play."

Lin Jinglei pointed to the earbag on his finger as he walked back and said, "Are you familiar with it? You ordered it from the [-]th High School."

No. [-] Middle School will distribute these earbags in various colors every winter. It is said that the person in charge made a mistake in the number of decimal points when ordering the winter sports prizes at the beginning, and then they will continue to distribute them.Yan Zizheng smiled and said, "I thought it would be the last one for our class, and it hasn't been finished yet."

Lin Jinglei shrugged: "If everyone takes it back like Lin Tai, it will probably be soon."

Speaking of Lin Tai, Lin Tai shouted over there: "Brother, can you hurry up and transport the snow, it's not enough."

Lin Jinglei picked up the shovel and took a few strides to a piece of uncleared snow. Just as he was about to wave his arms, a small figure ran over behind him.

He turned around to look, and saw that Yan Ziqing placed a newly formed little snowman on the steps of Ma Liangli's house.

Xiao Budian's move made the other three teenagers in the yard straighten up and stand there in a daze.Yan Ziqing felt that she had become the focus of attention, clapped her hands and stood up and whispered, "This is for Sister Liangli."

While Yan Zizheng beckoned his sister to come back, he glanced at the dark house, and continued to build a snowman without expression.

Regarding Ma Liangli's matter, Lin Jinglei knew that Yan Zizheng was guilty of self-blame, and wanted to say something to divert Yan Zizheng's attention, but he had no idea, so he could only look down and continue shoveling snow.

The atmosphere seemed to have become gloomy after Yan Ziqing delivered the little snowman, and the laughter dissipated. They made use of all the snow in the courtyard and built four snowmen according to their respective shapes. They stood side by side. , one medium and one small.

Then put the tools back into the warehouse, stomped the snow on their feet, and the four of them went back to the house respectively. The extinguishment of the door light brought darkness back to the yard, and the snow was still falling.

Yan Ziqing went back to the house and changed her clothes, then took the footwashing water poured by her grandfather to the next room, and put the small basin on the ground: "Brother, I want to wash with you."

Yan Zizheng, who was sitting by the bed, put down his phone and went out, got a basin of footwashing water and came back, brought a chair and put it next to his sister's small bench.Every time Yan Ziqing proposed to wash his feet together, he would indirectly share his sadness with him, so after sitting down, he turned his head and asked, "Aren't you happy making snowmen?"

Yan Ziqing gently splashed the water in the basin with her little feet: "Very happy."

"Then what's the matter?"

"I like Aunt Tong."

"What's wrong with that?"

Yan Ziqing stared at the water in the basin without speaking for a long time, then suddenly shed tears, and turned to look at his brother: "Because she looks like mother."

Yan Zizheng sat upright, his shoulders dropped, he didn't know what to say, Yan Ziqing was typical of missing his mother.

Neither of the two brothers spoke, and their backs were reflected on the glass door behind them, motionless.

Lin Tai returned to the desk after entering the door, while Lin Jinglei drank a large glass of water and walked around before returning to the room.

Tong Yuying appeared at the door, and when she was waiting to take away the dirty sheets, she asked Lin Jinglei, "Do the two children next door have no parents?"

Lin Jinglei knelt on the bed and pulled the sheet, and replied casually: "Yes, I have met Yan Zizheng's father..."

His determined tone weakened: "It should be..."

His movement of laying the bed sheets stopped together with these words, he actually knew nothing about Yan Zizheng.

Tong Yuying continued: "I told your uncle that you don't want to go back to live."

After his aunt's reminder, Lin Jinglei quickly took out his mobile phone to make a call, and after ringing twice, Principal Lin answered.

After he tried his best to talk and talk about his not going back to sleep, he immediately heard the angrily reprimanded from the other side.

"Hurry up and come back to me!"

Before Lin Jinglei opened his mouth to make a sound, his aunt took the phone away.His aunt said in her signature loud voice: "It's still snowing outside, and the road is so slippery. You let the child go back so late, what if something happens!"

Both Lin Jinglei and Lin Tai shrank their necks and turned their ears to listen to the sound on the phone.

"All right, all right, I'm afraid he'll trouble you there, I..."

"What's the trouble!" Tong Yuying continued, "This is his house too, so I need your permission to stay here!"

Lin Jinglei couldn't help laughing at Principal Lin's complete listlessness. His uncle was originally afraid of his aunt, but now he was wronged no matter what, and he couldn't refute anything.

Tong Yuying hung up the phone and stuffed the phone back, picked up the sheet and went out: "If you don't like living there, come here. If he says to send you away again, don't be afraid, you still have an aunt."

The first heavy snow this winter fell much later than in previous years, but the snow lasted long enough, and it took two and a half days to stop.

The day of Xueting was Yan Ziqing's birthday, Yan Zizheng went to school to pick up his sister after school, and the two brothers went to the dessert shop together to choose a small birthday cake and came back.

On the way home, Yu Zhaoyu called and asked where they were, and said they had bought gifts for Yan Ziqing.

"I almost knocked on the door, but no one responded."

"My grandfather may have gone shopping for groceries, just wait a while, we're almost there."

You Zhaoyu leaned against the big iron gate and stood for nearly 10 minutes before the two brothers appeared at the entrance of the alley. He snorted, "You have been here for a long time."

"No way, the car moves slowly."

After entering the yard, seeing those snowmen standing side by side, You Zhaoyu smiled and said, "A family of four? Your father, your mother, and you two?"

Yan Ziqing shook her head, and replied very seriously in a childish voice: "Brother with black glasses, brother with blue eyes, and the two of us."

Yu Zhaoyu looked at Yan Zizheng in confusion, "What? Who?"

Yan Zizheng shook the keychain with the door open and kept ringing, he didn't answer but asked, "Didn't you say you were going to block Zou Jing after school?"

"That's what I thought, but I didn't see him in the end. His office was locked after I came back from training, and he might have left early."

Yan Zizheng chuckled lightly: "Shouldn't you wait downstairs at other people's houses with your temper?"

Yu Zhaoyu walked in the door, lifted the bag in his hand and handed it to Xiaoshouxing: "I am thinking of giving us Xiaoqing a gift, it would be dishonest not to come in person."

Yan Zizheng glanced at the packing box opened by his sister. It was a branded children's clothing with trendy colors and styles. Yan Ziqing hugged it tightly in her arms.

"Why didn't the girl who was waiting for you at the school gate come today?"

"how could I know."

"Why are you always so repulsive? I think she's pretty easy to get started with. Don't you plan to try?"

"Why do you want to try?"

"Don't waste it, it's good to experience it," Zhaoyu said, taking out his mobile phone, "By the way, I found something good, and I will pass it on to you."

The snow that was too late to clear on the road was compacted and smooth, and pedestrians and vehicles slowed down.Lin Jinglei and Tang Shan, who were going to Randian, managed to catch up with a seat available, but they still got off halfway.

"I'm going to fall asleep if I sit down again." Tang Shan yawned.

Lin Jinglei wrapped his coat tightly and echoed, "You're still fucking fast."

"Leizi, let's take a shortcut and walk from Qingmu Street, it will be fast and warm for sure."

It’s not just a matter of saying that it’s not cold when it’s snowing, it’s like the temperature drops several degrees when the snow stops.Two days ago, Lin Jinglei didn't feel cold in this outfit, but today he couldn't, no matter how he wore the scarf, the wind leaked out, and his knees hurt from the cold wind.

After more than 200 meters, they entered the doorway of Qingmu Street, and felt much warmer in an instant. The two of them walked full of feet and prepared to buy some snacks to pad their stomachs.

Today is Ling Hui's birthday, everyone is called to go to the party, it must be inevitable to drink, drinking on an empty stomach is not a good choice.

When he was struggling between the finger cakes and the egg-filled soup cakes, a person suddenly rushed out and lay across the road.Tang Shan shrugged back in fright, hitting Lin Jinglei staggering.

Tang Shan wondered, who is this, dressed so aggressively, like a clown.

Lin Jinglei sighed after seeing the person clearly, damn it, Yuanjialu is not so narrow, right? This guy really loves the yellow hat deeply.

Tang Shan looked at the angry little yellow hat and then at Lin Jinglei with a smile on his face: "You know him?"

Lin Jinglei took a deep breath: "It can be regarded as friendship with one tooth."

"I love you sister!" The little yellow hat glared at Lin Jinglei and then shouted towards the room he ran out of, "I'm not mistaken!"

Lin Jinglei looked up at the signboard on the door, it was a hip-hop studio.

Little Yellow Cap called out a dozen or so people from the room, some of them had fought against each other that night, and some had unfamiliar faces.

The last one who came out was a boy wearing a silver headband, and after standing in the middle, he glanced over with cold eyes: "Which one?"

Little Yellow Hat raised his hand and pointed at Lin Jinglei: "He."

Silver hair belt looked at Lin Jinglei and snorted, "Dude, do you know why I stopped you?"

It looked like a group of lions hunting together, and more than a dozen people surrounded the two people standing there.

Tang Shan was completely confused, and whispered to Lin Jinglei, "Lei Zi, what's going on."

Lin Jinglei was still calm one second, then suddenly turned around and ran away the next second, he turned his head and shouted to Tang Shan: "What the hell are you doing in a daze! Run!"
