slow and quick

The first snow in winter came a bit late.

Snowflakes fall in the stillness of the night.

Not long after, the ground, eaves, and window sills were all covered with a thick layer.

Wrapped in silver.

When Ji Lin woke up, it was past five in the morning.

Before dawn, a crescent moon hung in the air, reflecting the moonlight on the snow.

He opened his eyes in a daze, feeling that the light was a bit dazzling, and thought he was getting up late in a trance.

Quickly turned down from the bed, picked up the alarm clock and looked at it, it was ten past five.

Ji Lin: "?"

He looked out the window with question marks all over his head, and then opened his eyes involuntarily.

The roof of the house on the opposite side was covered with snow, which shone faintly under the moonlight.

Large flakes of snow fell from the sky.

Ji Lin pushed open the window and reached out to catch a snowflake.

The snowflakes fell on his palm, and they were melted by the body temperature after a while.

When Ji Lin took his hand back, the snow had already turned into a puddle of water in his palm.

But he was still too happy.

Carefully spread out his palms, put on his clothes, and walked towards the living room.

Ji Lin's father fell asleep on the sofa in the living room.

He was covered with a warm quilt, and the electric oven was still burning.

The window of the living room was not closed, and the wind blew in. Dad shivered and shrank a little under the quilt.

Ji Yan walked over and wiped the icy cold water on his neck, which woke him up directly.

Ji Lin's father woke up with a jerk, "Ah!", and opened his eyes in panic.

His eyes were frightened into big European-style eyes.

He looked at Ji Lin, gasping for breath, his heart almost popped out of his throat: "What?"

Ji Lin smiled and pointed out the window: "Look!"

Ji Lin's father looked out of the window along his fingers, and the snow was falling heavily.

"Is it snowing?" Ji Lin's father was stunned.

He walked to the window and took a look. There was a lot of snow on the ground outside.

Turning to look at Ji Lin again: "Such heavy snow, shall I take you to school today?"

"No need!" Ji Lin took the kettle and poured the face wash water, and answered him, "I can do it myself, don't worry about it."

He said don't worry about it, and Ji Lin's father really collapsed back, pulled the quilt to his chest, closed his eyes, and said vaguely: "Well, then you wear boots when you go out, and walk carefully."

He was about to fall asleep while talking.

Ji Lin took the towel and put it in the washbasin, soaked it, then picked it up and wiped it on his face.

After wiping his face, he turned his head and saw his appearance.

Ji Lin: "..."

After Ji Lin finished washing, he walked over and shook him awake: "Dad! Dad!"

Ji Lin's father opened his eyes with difficulty: "What's wrong?"

"Don't sleep here," Ji Lin frowned, "I'll catch a cold later."

Ji Lin's father: "Oh."

He half-opened his eyes, still in a daze.

After groping around for a long time, he took out his wallet, took out 100 yuan, and stuffed it into Ji Lin's hand: "Take it to buy breakfast."

Then go back to sleep peacefully.

Ji Lin: "?"

He held 100 yuan and was at a loss.

He pushed his father again: "You gave me 50 yuan yesterday, but I haven't used it yet. Why give me another [-] yuan?"

I can't wake up this time.

Ji Lin's father tilted his head, took out a pillow from under his buttocks, covered the other ear, and directly rejected all external sounds.

Ji Lin looked at him, speechless.

Sighing, he stuffed the money into his pocket and went to the entrance to change his shoes.

It was windy and snowy.

Ji Lin was holding an umbrella, swayed by the wind.

The umbrella almost flew out of his hand several times, which made him pull it back in a panic.

After tossing a few times, Ji Lin simply put away the umbrella.

Let the snowflakes fall on you.

He wears a scarf and beanie.

It's a whole set.

Bright red, quite festive.

With the wind blowing in front of him, Ji Lin stretched out his hand and pulled up the scarf to cover his mouth.

He exhaled, and the white mist leaked out from the scarf around his mouth, filled the air, and dissipated.

When I arrived at Zheng Man's house, I found that the lights in front of his house and in the living room were not turned on.

Ji Lin said "Huh?", walked over, pushed the door, but didn't push it.

The door is closed.

It is estimated that Zheng Man overslept.

Ji Lin knocked on the door and yelled softly inside: "Manman?"

Zheng Man was buried under the blanket, it was too cold and he didn't want to move.

After the alarm clock rang, he turned it off.

The whole person rolled himself into a ball like a zongzi, and no seam was exposed outside the quilt.

Hearing the knock on the door, he still didn't want to move, he groaned and chirped for a long time, until Ji Lin knocked on the door for the second time, he reluctantly got out of the warm blanket and said, "Come on. "

Opening the door, the snowflakes outside the door and the bitter north wind came in before Ji Lin.

Zheng Man was so blown that his whole body trembled and he became sober.

He poked his head out and looked behind Ji Lin: "Huh?"

Ji Lin smiled with white teeth all over his mouth: "It's snowing! Are you happy!"

There is nothing unhappy about snowing.

Zheng Man's sense of distress was gone, and he was refreshed for a second.

Regardless of the fact that he hadn't put on his clothes yet, he jumped out and grabbed a handful of snow: "It's snowing!!!"

The voice-activated light in the stairwell was turned on by him, and Ji Lin hurriedly said, "Shhh!"

Zheng Man followed him with a smile and put his index finger on his mouth: "Shhh!"

The two children laughed happily.

Ji Lin pulled up Zheng Man who was squatting on the ground, and patted the snow off his hands: "Stop playing now, go into the house and get dressed, don't freeze."

It was still snowing outside, and the snow on the ground would not melt for a while, so Zheng Man walked into the house with ease.

While changing clothes, I was still humming happily, I don't know what tune.

While holding the socks for him, Ji Yan asked him curiously, "What are you singing?"

"Alphabet song!" Zheng Man replied loudly.

Ji Lin: "?"

Excuse me, I didn't hear it.

He was perceptive enough not to say it, but pretended he hadn't heard anything.

Ji Lin wears snow boots, Zheng Man doesn't have snow boots, but he has rain boots.

When I went out, I was wearing rain boots, holding small cotton shoes in my hand, and walking forward with a kick.

Seeing Ji Lin, he couldn't help reminding him: "Don't kick around, your feet will get cold."

Zheng Man said stiffly: "The feet are not cold."

In fact, there is no feeling in the toes.

Ji Lin was worried: "Don't kick the snow into your shoes, you didn't bring socks, if you get wet, you can only wear your shoes barefoot."

Zheng Man waved his hand indifferently: "No, no, no."

Then kicked it out, and a large piece of something cold flew into the shoe.

Zheng Man: "..."

Just as the snowflakes floated into his eyes, Ji Lin couldn't help but close them, and opened them after getting used to it, and saw Zheng Man's stunned expression.

Ji Lin wondered: "What's wrong?"

Zheng Man pouted.

He looked at Ji Lin, held back, didn't say anything, and shook his head.

Ji Lin thought he didn't want to listen to his nagging.

He had never thought about it this way before, but after getting along with him during this period, he gradually became aware of it.

Zheng Man seems to really dislike him sometimes.

Ji Lin felt wronged.

But Ji Lin didn't say anything.

Because Ji Lin is an older brother.

The elder brother has to give way to the younger brother, and must be responsible, and must be able to endure what ordinary people cannot bear.

Ji Renren firmly shifted his gaze, and looked at the wonton stand that was smoking hot.

The fragrance lingers in the air.

Ji Lin looked back at Zheng Man: "Do you want to eat wontons?"

Zheng Man nodded.

It’s okay.

So the two children walked towards the wonton stand holding hands.

While walking, Zheng Man felt that the soles of his feet were wet and cool.

The snow that fell in melted away.

Even though my toes were so cold that I couldn't feel them, they were still uncomfortable.

He kind of wanted to take his shoes off and pour the snow out.

When Ji Yan turned around, he bent down and grabbed his shoes.

Before he could take it off, Ji Lin turned around: "What are you eating..."

Halfway through the conversation, I saw Zheng Man's actions.

Ji Lin was confused: "Why are you touching your shoes?"

I want to pour the snow out of my shoes.

But this cannot be said.

So Zheng Man withdrew his hand again, sat up straight, and replied calmly, "Itchy feet."

Ji Lin: "?"

Ji Lin turned his head back hesitantly, and went to pour water.

Then walk back with water.

Zheng Man, who didn't dare to move again because he was caught, sat upright and watched him hand over the water glass.

Zheng Man picked up his water glass and took a sip.

Ji Lin held the warm water cup, hesitating.

After a while, he opened his mouth and asked Zheng Man carefully, "Where are your feet itching?"

The snow has completely melted.

Wet the socks.

Zheng Man moved his toes, the big toe was completely wet.

He was anxious in his heart and didn't listen very carefully.

When Ji Lin asked, he didn't even think about it, so he answered casually: "The toes are itchy."

Ji Lin frowned.

Ji Yan organized his words in his mind for a while, and then reminded implicitly: "I heard from my mother that the itchy feet are due to beriberi, and if there is beriberi, the feet will rot."

Zheng Man, who didn't hear clearly, but vaguely heard the word athlete's foot: "?"

Zheng Man was at a loss: "Beriberi?"

Ji Lin: "Yes."

Then give him popular science what is beriberi.

Zheng Man was taken aback when he heard that.

Ji Lin frowned: "Why do you have athlete's foot? You shouldn't..."

Zheng Man was stunned: "Do I have any?"

So scary, so dirty.

I have?

Ji Lin: "Yes! You just have beriberi."

Zheng Man: "!"

Zheng Man's head exploded, and his eyes became hot with fright, and he was about to cry: "What about me, why do I have athlete's foot! Manman is not dirty!"

Ji Lin quickly coaxed him: "Manman is not dirty, Manman is very clean, don't cry, don't cry."

Zheng Man cried heart-rendingly: "Manman is not dirty, how could he develop athlete's foot! You said that only people who are really dirty will get it!"

Ji Lin is in trouble.

Ji Lin stammered to find a reason: "Maybe, maybe it's because of athlete's foot that Manman is cute, and he likes Manman so he came to find Manman..."

I can't even listen to this reason!

Ji Lin was anxious to death.

Zheng Man was crying, crying so hard that he couldn't win: "I don't want it to like me, wow!!! Let it go! Let it go!!!"

Ji Lin: "Uh..."

Ji Lin paused.

Ji Lin was embarrassed: "Then, should I drive it away?"

Zheng Man stopped paws wiping tears, looked at him from between his hands, and asked him expectantly, "Can you drive it away?"

Of course not.

But who can say no to such a pair of hopeful eyes?

Anyway, Ji Lin can't help it.

Ji Lin bit the bullet, opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Yes."

Ji Lin faced the air: "Beriberi, hurry up, Manman doesn't want you to pester him."

The air is quiet.

Zheng Man waited for a while, looked at the air, then at Ji Lin, hesitating: "What does it say?"

Ji Lin: "..."

It says shit.

Ji Lin bit the bullet: "It said it had already left."

Zheng Man was pleasantly surprised, laughed through tears, and looked at Ji Lin enviously: "Brother Lin is so amazing!"

Ji Lin bit the bullet: "Small."

The owner of the wonton stall came over with cooked wontons, put them on their table, and gave Ji Lin a meaningful look.

Ji Lin: "..."

Look what I do!Do I have a recipe for making ravioli on my face?

He broke off the chopsticks in a fit of rage and embarrassment, lowered his head and took a bite of the wonton viciously.

Then he was scorched and screamed.

Zheng Man quickly pushed the water towards him: "Drink the water, drink the water."

Ji Lin drooled, his eyes dim with tears.

Zheng Man simply didn't know what to say.

He complained: "Don't eat in such a hurry, it's hot."

Ji Lin's tongue was still hot and he couldn't speak.

One of them had cold feet and the other had hot mouth.

It was a coincidence.
