After wearing the book, I was with Bai Yueguang

The snow in Mingcheng was very heavy this year, and the TV station described it as "a rare ice disaster in a hundred years".There were still a lot of people taking the train to catch the Spring Festival travel rush, and the highway was closed for several nights, and finally allowed to pass during the daytime on the eve of the Chinese New Year.

A snowflake floated to the balcony, Xu Qing stretched out her hand, touched the fluff of the snowflake's ice crystals with her index finger, and then watched it melt into snow water.There was a lot of white snow on the branches, and among the mottled and scattered shadows, the snow stopped and it was a sunny day.

Perhaps, the snowflakes on the branches will soon melt away.

Xu Qing thought.

In the kitchen, grandma Liu Aifen was probably chopping chicken, the sound of the blade chopping bones and touching the chopping board was bang bang. Compared with the white and green silence outside, it was a bit noisy, but it was still better than Xu Jiabao's voice.

This year I won't be able to see Xu Jiabao during the New Year, I don't have to accompany my parents to their hometown in the countryside, and I don't need to stay in a small house for the New Year.I also saw winter snow that I hadn't seen in four or five years.

It is sunny.

On the white road under the balcony, two people, one big and one small, left footprints on the snow.Xu Qing recognized one of them as Mr. Xie—the story Mr. Xie promised to tell him when the leaves fell in autumn hadn't finished yet.

Teacher Xie was holding a little man with black hair that should have grown to his shoulders, maybe not, because the distance was too far, Xu Qing couldn't see clearly.Comparing the height of the villain to Teacher Xie's waist, Xu Qing found that he was as tall as herself.

Is it the child of Mr. Xie's family?

"Xiaoqing, come to drink ginger soup." Grandpa brought over a bowl of freshly boiled ginger soup, and the acrid smell rushed straight into his nostrils.In the morning, he went out to the square with his grandfather to have sex, and when he came back, he had to drink ginger soup to drive away the cold.

Holding the bowl in his hands, Xu Qing drank the hot ginger soup in one gulp, resisting the urge to inhale.Grandpa followed his gaze and looked out of the window, "It's the grandson of Lao Xie's family."

Teacher Xie's grandson?

Xu Qing heard Teacher Xie mention it, and also heard her grandfather Wei Zheng mention it. "Is he well?"

Grandpa shook his head, "How do I know this? If you want to know, you can ask Lao Xie yourself."

Xu Qing pursed her lips and decided to forget it.From Teacher Xie's previous tone, his grandson's illness should be very serious. If he asks about it himself, but he doesn't recover, it will only make Teacher Xie sad.

Teacher Xie led his grandson, leaving a series of sunken footprints on the clean road, which looked like mud spots in the white snow.Xu Qing thought that she had touched Teacher Xie's hand before, and there was a heavy callus, which was left over from years of teaching.

They are walking towards the unit door.

is to go home.

I must have read it wrong, with the care of Teacher Xie and the care of his parents, how could Teacher Xie’s grandson be lonely?How could he look like a passerby just like himself.

Xu Qing is going to do the same many times in the past, watching the backs of people who want to go home outside the building disappear into the unit doors one by one, and then continue his own story, while he continues to talk to the passing wind, and accompany the burden A heavy tree waits for the snow on its body to melt and turn into water that nourishes its roots.

But he met the eyes of the villain who turned his head and looked up inexplicably.

Gu Shu had already noticed the gazes on him, and he heard the nagging words that his grandpa was used to. He was determined to show his test results to his grandpa later, so that he would say less.

The people who went out earlier did not close the unit door, and the deep corridor not far away was like a monster, opening its bloody mouth to the children.Gu Shu took a look, then another look, and another look, feeling inexplicably terrified.

This is strange.

Immediately afterwards, under the guidance of the sudden voice in his heart, he raised his head and looked sideways.

The blue and cold dry branches make up the winter sky. Most of the windows of the opposite building are closed. The owner of the house turned on the air conditioner. He didn’t want the clothes drying on the balcony to get wet, so he didn’t open the windows.

But one window was open.

Lying on it...a villain?

Gu Shu could only see his arms on the window frame of the balcony, wrapped in a soft blue down jacket, and he couldn't tell how heavy it was.There is also a small fluffy and soft mushroom... no, it is a small jellyfish, and the jellyfish whiskers (hair strands) are fluttering in the wind.

Even though they were far away, Gu Shu felt that the villain was surprised, surprised that he would look over, and surprised that the two of them met their eyes unexpectedly.

Gu Shu suddenly gave a short laugh, very lightly.Captured by his grandfather Xie Huaijin, he lowered his head and looked at his always deserted grandson, "What's so funny?"

The voice in my heart disappeared.

It seems to be to guide him to look at it.

What's different...

I seem to have seen him.

Gu Shu nodded and asked his grandfather, "Is there a child on the fifth floor of the building opposite?"

Grandpa Xie Huaijin loves to play chess, loves playing birds, fishing and exercising with the old guys in the yard, and has a wide range of communication.The child just now should be the junior of that family, and most of the people living here are middle-aged and elderly people. Even if grandpa doesn't recognize it, he should have heard of it.

Xie Huaijin was taken aback, and then realized: "You mean Xiaoqing? Hey, maybe he was observing nature again, but it's so cold, how can we let the child stay alone on the balcony." He pondered for a moment, "You go upstairs first. Well, grandma will open the door for you at home. I'll go to their house."

Gu Shu didn't move, "I'll go too."

"Are you going too? That's fine, Xiaoqing is only one year younger than you. It would be great if you two play well."

In just a few minutes in the opposite building, Gu Shu learned a lot about "Xiaoqing": his surname is Xu, and he is one year younger than himself.The owner of that house is his grandparents.My grandfather likes him very much.

Xie Huaijin knocked on the door, Liu Aifen stewed the chicken, and hurried over to open the door, "Who is it?—Old Xie, are you looking for Old Wei? He's staying on the balcony."

Xie Huaijin followed her movements and looked over, Wei Zheng was lying on a rocking chair basking in the sun, Xu Qing was lying on the side of the window, the window was open, it was leeward and there was less cold wind coming in.

He smiled, "I'm here to pay New Year's greetings."

This is really abrupt. Although we have been neighbors for decades, we are not so close. We have long since stopped doing this kind of thing. We usually meet on the road to say happy New Year, and let it go if we don’t.

But Xie Huaijin said so, they treated him as a whim and entertained him well.

The guests came to visit, but Wei Zheng didn't stay on the balcony, and even brought Xu Qing over

When they got closer, Gu Shu realized that Xiaoqing's eyelashes were so long, curly and thick, and the pupils under the eyelash feathers were endless smoky gray, matched with a small white face, Gu Shu blurted out: "Have we met?"

Xie Huaijin heard the words, knocked on his forehead, amused: "Did you get dazed after watching "Dream of Red Mansions"?"

Xu Qing's drooping eyelids lifted, and he refused to be thousands of miles away: "I haven't seen it before."

Xie Huaijin thought with regret that there was no hope for the two children to be friends.Seeing that Gu Shu was not annoyed, he moved in Xu Qing's direction instead, "My name is Gu Shu. Have you read "A Dream of Red Mansions"?"

Xu Qing was inexplicable, "Of course I have read it." Last summer, the Chinese teacher asked them to write the reflections of the four great classics.He thought for a while and asked, "Haven't you read it?"

Gu Shu shook his head, "I only know this brother I have met before."

Xu Qing: "..."

He endured it, and finally said: "Elementary school students will not strike up a conversation like this."

Gu Shu frowned, "How do you know? Have you ever been accosted?"

"You are good-looking, there should be many people who strike up a conversation with you." Xu Qing didn't answer his question, but instead praised Gu Shu's appearance.Gu Shu rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "I never went to school."

Xu Qing was speechless.He was silent for a moment, then reached out and patted Gu Shu's shoulder hesitantly. Gu Shu took an inch and invited him, "Would you like to play outside?"

Xie Huaijin: ...the tutors that the co-author's family members have hired for you in the past few years do not exist.

He was quite surprised by Gu Shu's initiative. Could it be that Xiaoqing fits Xiaoshu's eyes very well?There are always such things in the world, some people will feel happy when they meet at first sight.

Wei Zheng was also happy to see his grandson making friends. It was sunny outside, and the security measures in the compound were always very good, so nothing would happen.

Hearing that both he and Teacher Xie agreed, Xu Qing glanced at Gu Shu and walked to the entrance first.

The two children rattled away, and on the other side, Yan Suzhi, who hadn't waited for her husband and grandson to come back, called Xie Huaijin, knowing that Gu Shu was playing in the yard with a new friend, so she felt relieved.She went to the window of the living room and took a look, just in time to see Gu Shu chasing Xu Qing, the footprints of the two were printed in the snow one after the other.

Gu Shu grabbed Xu Qing's sleeve seriously, "Qingqing, you should zip it up."

Xu Qing lowered her head and pulled the zipper, wondering: "Qingqing?"

Gu Shu smiled, "I heard grandpa and the others call you 'Xiaoqing', but friends should be called differently from other people."

"..." Xu Qing was silent for a long time this time, "Are we friends?"

We just met for the first time.

"Don't you hear that the white head is as new as before, and it's as old as before? I think about it, and I think we are 'as old as before'."

Xu Qing did hear this allusion from the teacher, he said oh, and asked sincerely: "Then what should I call you?"

Gu Shu?

Xiaoshu?

"I'm one year older than you, you should call me brother."

Xu Qing shook her head: "We are not brothers."

Gu Shu disagreed, "Brothers will definitely be called elder brothers and younger brothers? This is not an exclusive title for brothers."

After hearing this, Xu Qing thought about it, did Xu Jiabao call her brother?He also shouted, only before he was three years old.

After the age of three, Xu Jiabao treated him like Xu Hengshan did.

"The elder brother must protect the younger brother."

Gu Shu patted his chest, "I will protect you."

Xu Qing took a look at his not-so-healthy body at this time, remembered Teacher Xie's worries about his illness in the past, and reciprocated: "I will protect you too."

Friends should share secrets.

Xu Qing took Gu Shu to meet a friend she only met a week ago.

On the way, Gu Shu was very dissatisfied, "Are there any friends who came before me?"

Xu Qing counted, "A lot."

When they arrived at the place, Gu Shu looked left and right, he and Xu Qing were the only ones here.Hmm... If I have to count, there is also a banyan tree and a flower bed where the banyan tree is planted, and the soil is covered with a layer of white snow.

"The friend you mentioned is this banyan tree?" Gu Shu asked, and knew he was wrong.This banyan tree is here every year. If Xu Qing wants to make friends with it, he must have made friends with it long ago.What would that be?

The snow covering the flower beds was so thick that it completely covered the soil and the weeds in the soil.

Xu Qing nimbly jumped onto the flower bed, turned around and reached out to Gu Shu, pulling him up.

The two walked near the roots of the banyan tree, leaving small footprints in the snow of the flower bed.

Xu Qing knelt down and gently brushed the snow.

boo.

A small yellow flower emerged from the thick snow, shaking and trembling, as if drunk.

Xu Qing introduced to Gu Shu: "Xiao Huang."

He turned to the little yellow flower and said, "Gu Shu."

With a serious face, Gu Shu waved to Xiao Huang Hua, "Hello, Xiao Huang."

Seeing the two friends getting along in harmony, Xu Qing nodded unconsciously, and then heard Gu Shu say: "Little Huang, although you came before me, I am older than you, so I respect the old and love the young. So the first best friend Your identity is mine, do you understand?"

Xiao Huang didn't understand.

Xiao Huang finds the new humans very annoying.
