After school, Uncle Lin closed the convenience store, and the family of three returned to their hometown together, preparing for the New Year.

The old house is the home of Uncle Lin's parents. It is located in a small village beside City A. The spacious ashram is covered with late frost, and the walls rammed with yellow mud are against the soft light of the night.

Lin Shi'an was wrapped up like a bear, carrying a large bag of luggage in his hand, before knocking on the door, a little boy with a watermelon head pushed open the door, hugged his legs, and dragged him into the main room.

Lin Shi'an's eyes and brows were smiling, and he hurriedly put the luggage away, pulled the watermelon head off his legs, shook it twice and hugged it in his arms.

"Warm up! Warm up!" The little boy was still a little slurred, Lin Shi'an rubbed his head, walked inside with a smile, "Does Lele miss me?"

"Think, think!" A pair of eyes widened, afraid that Lin Shi'an would not believe it.

An old man came out to greet him, with a blackened towel wrapped around his head, his eyes lit up when he saw Lin Shi'an, "An'an, are you back?"

While speaking, he pulled Lin Shi'an inside, "Come quickly into the fire cage room."

"Grandma!" Lin Shi'an responded enthusiastically.

The dark room was brightened by the warm fire.Once inside, it is very warm.Lin Shi'an stepped on the cotton mop, sat by the firepit with a watermelon head in his arms, and took out a fragrant and soft sweet potato from the firewood pile to coax the children.

After a year of busy work, the whole family can finally get together and spend two days of leisure and beauty.

After the third day of the first lunar month, the busyness of New Year's greetings came to a break. Lin Shi'an moved a small wooden bench wrapped in a thick padded jacket to write papers by the bed, but a few unfamiliar dogs barked outside.

He picked up the little radish lying on his lap, put Lele's chin on his shoulder, got up and walked out.

There has just been a snowfall outside, and the empty dojo is covered with a layer of white, soft like cotton wool, and the breath is refreshing ice and snow, clean and bright.

There are several mottled footprints in the middle of the snow, big and small, against the color of the snow.

The older one waved at him, and Lin Shian's crescent eyes came out, "Xu Tonglan?"

In a tone of surprise and joy, Lele insisted on joining in the fun, jumped off him, and followed milkily, "Xu Tonglan!"

"Not big or small," Lin Shi'an picked him up again, fearing that Lele's feet would get cold with snow, he walked up to Xu Tonglan and said to Lele, "Call me brother."

"Brother is you." The little guy was quite principled.

Xu Tonglan raised his eyebrows slightly, "I never heard that you have a younger brother."

"City A doesn't even have a place to settle down, so he can't be allowed to endure hardships with him," Lin Shi'an said: "There is also a kindergarten in my hometown, and I will take it when he is in elementary school."

Xu Tonglan was a little surprised that Lin Shi'an acquiesced in Lele's identity. After all, the inertial thinking always felt that most people who have children at home would not adopt children from welfare institutions.

Lin Shi'an and Xu Tonglan have been together for a long time, and they can almost tell what Xu Tonglan is thinking with just a glance, "The folk prescription in the village says that parents who can't have children hold a child for two years, and they may be able to conceive."

He smiled without too much emotion, "I'm still a lucky star in this regard. I haven't been in Uncle Lin's house for a few years, and Aunt Fang has Lele."

As he spoke, his trousers were suddenly caught by something, Lin Shi'an lowered his head, and only belatedly turned his attention to another guest who came with Xu Tonglan.

——a white long-haired dog, whose soft fur blends into the snow, blinking at him with only a pair of wet black eyes.

The owner of the small footprints sniffed around his legs, opening his mouth to bite the hem of his cotton trousers from time to time.

Lin Shi'an hugged Lele, dragged the brand new leg accessories, and led Xu Tonglan into the room.He skillfully scalded the cup with boiling water, and handed Xu Tonglan a cup of hot water, "Why didn't you bring Dajin?" He joked, "So you're empathizing with someone else?"

Lele was petting the dog, but the white-haired dog just wanted to squat at Lin Shian's feet and rub against him from time to time.

Xu Tonglan took a sip of hot water, rubbed his hands, took off his hat and scarf, and changed the subject with a "hehe", "Do you still have such a treasured geomantic omen here?"

"Haven't you seen it?" Lin Shi'an approached the fire and stretched out his hand, with a smile on his lips, "It's so warm."

He pulled the firewood with the iron frame for a while, and took out a roasted sweet potato from inside, rubbed his ears so hot, quickly peeled the skin and handed it to Xu Tonglan.

"Hey me." Someone was shameless.

Lin Shi'an smiled helplessly, and handed it to the young master's mouth.

"Shame!" A childish voice sounded from the side.

Xu Tonglan turned around with a sweet potato in his mouth, and happened to meet Lele who was making faces at him, "Lele doesn't even want to be fed sweet potatoes," he hung his index finger on his white and tender face, "Brother, shame on you!"

"Ahem——" Xu Tonglan clutched his chest, his little heart was completely destroyed by Lele.

Lin Shi'an passed the sweet potato over, "Did you hear me, Lele can't stand it anymore."

He wiped his hands with a paper towel, and Xu Tonglan didn't change the subject, and turned around again, "A new dog?" He said, "You can't just forget Da Jin when you have a new dog."

He stroked the soft little animal by his feet, and there was a bit of complicated emotion in his eyes, "Dogs are also human. After getting along for a long time, if you neglect it, it will be sad."

"Recognize it carefully?" Xu Tonglan held the glass to keep warm, the firelight reflected on his face, which was orange-red, and it looked extra warm in winter.

Lin Shi'an was stunned, as if he had thought of something, but he hesitated.

Xu Tonglan looked into his eyes, "You are right, it is indeed a beautiful pet dog." He followed Lin Shian's gaze to look at the elegant little white hair.

"I've seen a veterinarian. This breed is called a Maltese dog."

Lin Shi'an turned his head abruptly, the red light shone on his eyes, and the clear fundus of his eyes was suddenly covered with a layer of watery light.

Xu Tonglan looked at him without saying a word.

In fact, he didn't have much hope to find it at first, and he went to the orphanage where Lin Shi'an lived, because he wanted to know him better.

After so many years, the people in the orphanage have changed a long time ago. People who remember Lin Shi'an can't be found, but Xu Tonglan met that dog.

It was very old, when Xu Tonglan saw it, it was rummaging through the trash can full of juice.

He took pictures and confirmed with Yu Sheng that this was the dog that accompanied Lin Shian, and took it to the pet hospital.

Bathing, trimming, shaving, cleaning the wound, and vaccinating, Xu Tonglan didn't even think that this dog was really so beautiful.

He asked his auntie to raise it with Da Jin at home for a few months, and waited until the illness was almost cured and the snow-white hair grew back again before he brought it to Lin Shi'an.

"Thank you." Lin Shi'an picked Maltese up from his feet, and gently stroked its long white-haired fur, with affectionate affection and nostalgia in his eyes.

"It's called Diu Diu."

"Du Diu?"

"Same sickness and pity for each other," Lin Shi'an said, "So it likes me, and I like it too."

It also seemed to be a snowy winter at that time, and his mother showed him a wedding photo.The man in the suit and leather shoes was his father, whom he had never met, but the one in the pure white wedding dress was not his mother.

The young and ignorant ignorant girl came home with a big belly, saying that her promising college boyfriend promised her that the husband of the child would come down and get married when she reached the legal age of marriage.

When Lin Shian landed on the ground, the college student disappeared.

After searching for several years, his mother finally found his father. After arguing, beating and crying, she still couldn't win back the scumbag's heart.

The scumbag doesn't even look after the child, except for a meager alimony, it's like air, and I don't know how the fuck knows that the man is married.

She hugged Lin Shi'an and pressed her face against his, "Dad is getting married, and mom is getting married too."

"Then will I have a new father?"

"No, baby," the soft woman was tempered by wind and frost, leaving only a hard heart, she sighed, as if a sentence was pronounced, "Take you, I can't get married.".

So one day without warning, she bought Lin Shian a handful of white rabbit toffee that he had been craving, and then took him to the orphanage.

"Mom can't take care of you anymore."

"Forget about mom."

He grew up extremely fast in such a short period of time. He remembered everything, including his mother's name, phone number, and home address, but he didn't say anything, allowing himself to be taken into a distant place where no one knew him. Hospital, and was taken by a strange couple to City A, which they had never been to before.

In the ten years that followed, he refused to call Aunt Lin Shufang's parents, not because he refused to get close to them, but because to him, "Mom and Dad" was the most ridiculous and ugly title in the world.

Abandoned children no longer have parents.
