Wintering

Chen Yue and Abbey cook dumplings in the kitchen.

Mo Dong, Zhi Zhi, Cookie and Jiang Xia are watching cartoons in the living room.

Zhizhi held a baby elephant doll in his arms, with two pairs of feet tucked under Cookie's furry belly, watching the villain in the cartoon, babbling in an alien language.

"You like children very much?" Jiang Xia on the side suddenly said.

Mo Dong quickly looked away from the elephant's chubby feet, thought for a while, and answered cautiously: "Zhizhi is very cute."

Jiang Xia smiled, pinched her little nose, "Cute and hateful."

"How many days are you planning to stay here?"

"The fifth day. The sixth day is going to work."

Jiang Xia was a little disappointed, "It's so fast, I thought we'd go to the forest to pick blueberries together in spring."

Mo Dong is not good at socializing with people, he always answers when Jiang Xia asks him a question, but fortunately Jiang Xia talks a lot and the atmosphere is not too stiff.

As he was talking, for some reason, the topic came to Chen Yue.

"Hey, you don't even know, when he knew you were coming, he was so excited that he almost rolled down the stairs, that idiot, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"

Zhi Zhi, who was watching TV, turned his head in doubt to see his aunt who was trembling with laughter.

Mo Dong felt embarrassed, like sitting on pins and needles.

However, Jiang Xia didn't know anything about his embarrassment, and continued to pull him and said: "You idiot, you even asked Abbey to help you choose the clothes you wore when you picked him up, bought more than a dozen sets of coats, and said he wanted to wear them." He's so handsome that he doesn't deliberately. Hahahahahahaha, are you stupid or not? Hahahahahahaha."

Chen Yue poked his head out from the kitchen, apparently heard their voices, his handsome face blushed like something, "Jiang Xia! Don't talk nonsense in front of him!"

Jiang Xia said "slightly slightly" to him, looking arrogant that you can make me do anything.

Abbey brought out the cooked dumplings with heat-resistant gloves, put them on the red and white checkered dining table, and served a bowl for each of them.

Zhizhi held her melamine fish bowl, and awkwardly scooped out a steamed boiled dumpling with a small spoon. "Little mouse!" Showed it to the adults one by one.

"Eat quietly, talk so much." Jiang Xia couldn't see that the lump looked like a mouse, knocked on the squeaky bowl, and said.

On the other side of the table——

"Be careful, blow it before eating." Chen Yue poured a little vinegar oil into a small dish for Mo Dong, and pushed it to his bowl.

Due to the limited ingredients in foreign countries, the stuffing of the dumplings is actually not very good. It is simply chopped mutton and shredded carrots together with oil and stir.

Mo Dong took a bite, and some soup overflowed like a burst, and it was hot and a little hot.

Chen Yue noticed, and took out a tissue for him, "Look at you, wipe it off quickly. Is it delicious?"

Mo Dong swallowed the whole dumpling slowly, "It's delicious."

really tasty.

Chen Yue laughed, "It's delicious, eat more, there are many more, I'll make it if I don't have enough!"

Mo Dong nodded, only to find at the end that there was a heart-shaped dumpling hidden in the bottom of the bowl.

Jiang Xia was chatting and laughing next to Abbey, Zhizhi was studying her little mouse with her head down, and Chen Yue was feeding cookies to Cookie.

No one was looking at him, but he still stood up his bowl and shoes like a thief, and ate the criminal booty in a panic.

In the evening, Jiang Xiala Abbey went to the courtyard to try the newly bought skis, and the exclamation came from outside, adding a cheerful atmosphere.

Mo Dong came down from upstairs after taking a shower, and saw Chen Yue sitting on the sofa in the living room, with a tablet standing on the coffee table, and he was chatting with someone.

As soon as Mo Dong approached, he raised his head, "Mo Dong." Then he said to the people in the video, "Let me introduce someone to you."

He stood up, embraced Mo Dong's shoulders, and sat down next to him with a smile, "Dad, Mom, this is Mo Dong, my best friend!"

On the screen was a middle-aged couple. Mother Chen had gentle eyebrows, and Father Chen was tall and handsome. They looked very friendly. The background was the head of the bed, with a black cat squatting on Father Chen's shoulder and licking its paws.

Mo Dong clutched his cuff nervously, "Auntie, Uncle, hello!"

Chen's mother smiled, thin crow's feet appeared at the corners of her eyes, and she spoke in a soft voice: "Xiaodong, I often hear more and more talking about you, happy new year! Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat." Mo Dong replied immediately, paused, and added, "Happy New Year, Aunt and Uncle!"

Chen Yue also leaned closer to the screen, and interjected, "He ate the dumplings I made."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt someone pat him on the back. He glanced at Mo Dong for no reason, but the latter's eyes were all on Chen's father and mother and the cat, and did not respond to his gaze. .

He suddenly became playful, and secretly grabbed Mo Dong's hand with his hands behind him to prevent it from escaping. He scratched the palm of his hand a few times, but on the surface he spoke to his parents in a serious manner.

"By the way, brother is back?"

"I came back early, that is, you bastard is still running around outside during the Chinese New Year. You two are also, the two brothers are noisy when they meet. By the way, Mo Dong, when will you return to China? By the way, come to Auntie's house as a guest ah."

Mo Dong was very afraid that Chen's mother would see their small actions, so he didn't dare to act rashly, "Oh, yes, auntie."

"We'll go back on the fourth day of the junior high school, and we'll go back when brother is gone." Chen Yue grabbed the words from the sidelines, "Mom, remember to cook something delicious when the time comes. Mo Dong likes to eat dumplings."

"Okay, okay. Tell Mom what you want to eat."

"By the way, don't put green onions, Mo Dong doesn't like it."

"Okay, mom wrote it down, is there any more?"

……

Mo Dong looked at them at a loss as he spoke to each other, his fingernails digging at the cushions of the sofa.

Chen Yue teased the little black cat again before ending the call.Mo Dong quickly withdrew his hand, and wanted to go upstairs, but his feet seemed to be stuck by Chen Yue's aggrieved eyes, and he didn't move.

Chen Yue didn't know what happened just now, subconsciously wanted to hold Mo Dong's hand in front of his parents, although his back was facing them, but the secret wish in his heart was satisfied no matter what.

He came out with his parents two years ago. Chen's father and mother were very open-minded and accepted it without much fuss.It was his brother, who was very rigid, and when he found out, he was furious, beat him up, and almost sent him to the ICU.

In the end, he simply ignored him, but every time he came back during the Chinese New Year, he would always cut his head with those knife-like eyes, and suddenly uttered a mocking word.

Chen Yue couldn't take it anymore, so he fled to Jiang Xia for refuge during the Spring Festival.

Bringing Mo Dong home this time, he naturally had to avoid his brother, if he saw Mo Dong, he might say something nasty.

It's good that those words fell on Chen Yue himself, if his brother dared to scold Mo Dong, he would definitely have fucked him on the spot.At that time, the scene will definitely not be cleaned up.

Now being watched silently by Mo Dong, he also regrets his sneaky behavior at that time.If Mo Dong is still like three years ago, throwing some harsh words in a fit of anger, and avoiding him for ten or eight years, wouldn't he go crazy?

Fortunately, although Mo Dong looked very angry, he didn't leave immediately.

He tried to sit closer, "Mo Dong."

Mo Dong turned his head away.

He continued to bark.

Suddenly, a tender and crisp voice sounded from the side, "Mo Dong! Mo Dong!"

Both of them froze, and at the same time turned their heads to look at Jiang Zhizhi who was riding on the wooden horse. She yelled like a small trumpet, as if she thought it was fun.

"Mo Dong! Mo Dong! Hehe."

Chen Yue ran over and covered her mouth, "Zhizhi, stop calling, can you call brother Dong's name?"

Looking back, Mo Dong's figure hastily disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Jiang Xia and Abbey had had enough fun and came back with a snowy body.

The TV in the living room was playing the news, Chen Yue was sitting on the sofa, Jiang Zhizhi was lying on the armrest of the sofa and pulling Chen Yue's clothes, "Woo...Uncle, Zhizhi wants to watch the big monster and the little zebra."

Chen Yue ignored her and turned on the TV even louder.

Zhizhiwawawa faked crying a few times, secretly observed Chen Yue's reaction through the gaps between his sparse fingers, and found that Chen Yue didn't even give him a look, and vaguely realized that his uncle was angry.

Jiang Xia walked over and hugged Zhizhi, "What's the matter?"

Zhi Zhi bit his finger and said vaguely, "Uncle is angry..."

Chen Yue snorted loudly, "Uncle doesn't like children who are rude, can you call elders directly by their names?"

It was the first time Zhizhi heard Chen Yue speak to her in such a harsh voice, he was anxious and aggrieved, and didn't know what to say, so he really burst into tears.

Jiang Xia was about to scold Chen Yue, when there was a sudden movement upstairs, Mo Dong walked down with a dark face.

"Don't vent your anger on the child."

Chen Yue: "I haven't."

Jiang Xia felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she changed the topic with a smile.

"Can you ski? Let's go to Wabe Lake together tomorrow."

Mo Dong had never skied before, and was about to refuse, when Chen Yue raised his hand and said: "I can, but Mo Dong doesn't seem to be able to, let me teach him."

Abbey took off his gloves, took Zhizhi from Jiang Xia's arms, and carried her into the room.

Jiang Xia and Chen Yue were chatting, and it was hard for Mo Dong to leave. He sat alone and listened to them talking about their plans for the next week, how to make sushi so delicious, and these trivial things in life.

They look so excited, full of anticipation and energy every day.

Mo Dong felt as if he was sitting by a burning fireplace, the jumping flames made a crackling sound, and those fiery red and bright yellow colors danced and rose in his lifeless pupils.That's another world.

He didn't know how long he had been listening, until he felt his trousers being pulled, and he lowered his head.

It's squeak.

"Brother Dong," she whispered, as if she was afraid of disturbing the adults' conversation.

"Come here," she bounced forward a few steps, and waved back to him.

Mo Dong followed.

Chen Yue looked up at him, "Where are you going?"

Mo Dong looked at Zhizhi, and Zhizhi came over and took her by the hand and led her to his room.
