It snowed the whole night and stopped the next day. Only the scattered snow was blown up by the wind.
The road was covered with thick snow. Xu Jin wrapped himself up like a cotton ball. His hat, scarf, gloves, and earmuffs were all neat. His cotton shoes squeaked as he stepped on the snow.
Xu Shi 'an followed behind him unhappily. He didn't think he looked good as a fat person and didn't want to put on his cotton pants. After being scolded by Jiang He, he put on his clothes obediently.
When they arrived at school, Xiaoxiao was also wearing thick clothes with bunny earmuffs. He was happy and went to pinch Xiaoxiao's bunny ears.
"Did that guy bully you again?" Xu Shi 'an was very loyal and didn't forget about Ah Qing.
"Nope."
Ah Qing shook his head and peeked at Xu Jin in front of him. If he didn't peek, he would probably get beaten up by Xu Jin. He didn't doubt Xu Jin's ability to do what he said.
Although she was wrapped up like a little meatball, the beautiful face after taking off her hat and scarf made him a little dazed.
Good feelings always sprouted unintentionally. When there was a good point that was noticed, people would look at her again and find that she was liked everywhere.
At such a young age, he didn't know what it was to like something, but he couldn't help but look at her.
It was only when Xu Jin and Xiaoxiao turned around and glared at the two of them that Xu Shi 'an and Ah Qing pretended to open their books to read.
The snow came late this year. After the snow, it was not far from the winter vacation.
Xu Jin really liked the winter vacation, but Xu Shi 'an felt pain and happiness.
The happiness came from the vacation, but the pain came from not being able to go back to the old house with Xiaoxiao to play, eat, and go to school together after lunch.
After the two canceled each other out, there were still a few "happy winter vacation." Therefore, the pain was greater than the happiness.
"It'll be happy without it. Why is it called a happy winter vacation?"
Xu Shi 'an was very sad after receiving the winter vacation homework. He wanted to ask the question maker if there was something wrong with him or if there was something wrong with him. If it was changed to "painful winter vacation," it would make him feel better. At least he didn't have to say that something that caused pain was happiness. This was a mental resistance.
"So thick." Xu Qing was surprised. He didn't know if he remembered wrong. Anyway, he felt that the winter vacation homework when he was younger was thinner than this.
Seeing Xu Shi 'an's pitiful expression, he couldn't help but sympathize with his son. However, this was an integral part of childhood.
"Come, let me help you make it thinner." Xu Qing thought for a moment and reached out his hand.
Xu Shi 'an raised his head in surprise. He ran over with his winter vacation homework.
Then, Xu Qing tore up the rest of the answers.
Needless to say, it was indeed much thinner, about one-fifth of the thickness.
Xu Qing ignored his son who had tears rolling in his eyes. He was amazed by Xu Jin's behavior of watching a musical with him.
"Do you like that?" he asked.
"I don't." Xu Jin shook his head.
"Oh."
Xu Qing didn't ask any more questions. He didn't want to influence his taste. At first, he just wanted to familiarize himself with the French language. Later, he found these things quite interesting. If he calmed down and watched them, he would slowly realize the joy in them, just like some people who liked to listen to plays.
People could do anything when they had nothing to do. Jiang He did not like this kind of thing. If she had the time, she might as well research on flowers and show off on the forum. She could be considered an experienced person who had taken care of flowers for many years.
The two of them had already discussed the plan to take the sister and brother out to play during the winter vacation. Although they did not know whether they would bring Jiang He or the child out, it was the same. They had to ask for the sister and brother's opinion before going out as a family.
"Go to the capital to climb the Great Wall, or go to Chang 'an?" Xu Qing let the siblings decide. He and Jiang He decided on two places, and the siblings could choose one. This was democracy.
Since both places had palaces, they could take Jiang He to see the palace in the capital and climb the Great Wall. They could go to Chang 'an in the Tang Dynasty. After all, this country bumpkin had never been there before. He even told him how prosperous Chang' an was in his imagination.
"To the Great Wall!"
"To Chang 'an!"
The two little guys had different opinions, so they could deal with it themselves. Anyway, it was fine as long as they didn't fight. Xu Qing took the little turtle and handed it over to Xu Wenbin to take care of.
There was heating in the house, so it didn't hibernate. A few years had passed, and the little turtle was now the size of a palm. It crawled around its territory alone, eating and sleeping. Jiang He found a female turtle for it, but the beetle didn't like it very much.
Xu Wenbin liked to help take care of the turtle. He asked carefully about the precautions for feeding it, and then waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
"Dad, you really don't want to go with us? We can go out as a family. You travel a lot, and my mom doesn't go far. "Xu Qing still wanted to persuade the old couple.
"Take your mom with you. I don't have time, and I don't like to run around." Xu Wenbin waved his hand and poked the turtle's shell with his finger. He was not interested in going far away.
"I'm not going either. Why would I run around in the winter?"
Zhou Suzhi rolled up her sleeves and pouted. It was better to stay at home and play mahjong than to travel so far away for a few days.
The so-called travel was to go from a place that one was tired of to a place that others were tired of …
If it weren't for the fact that she had to take Jiang He to see the palace and Chang 'an, which she had only heard about but never seen before, and that the two children should go out to see more different scenery, Xu Qing preferred to stay at home. This might be hereditary.
"Dad, if you need to do something, just do it. My mom won't give you money to find me."
Holding the hot water and blowing, Xu Qing looked at his father's hair and said, "Black hair makes you look younger. Look at how spirited Uncle Qin is."
"He loves to show off …"
Xu Wenbin was disdainful. That old man just loved to show off. At his age, he loved to go square dancing and flirt with old ladies.
Bah.
Without staying any longer, Xu Qing went downstairs and left. On the way, he met Qin Maocai. His hair was neatly combed, shiny and smooth, and he looked ten years younger than Xu Wenbin.
He was already a grandfather, but he was still in love. Xu Qing and Qin Hao both suspected that the old man had reversed his growth.
Maybe it was because his wish had come true. Before Qin Hao got married, the old man was grumpy every day. Now, he was happy every day and didn't care about anything.
"Jin and the others didn't come with you?" Qin Maocai greeted him, and the hot breath in his mouth turned into cold mist and dissipated.
"No, they came to do something."
Xu Qing answered casually, got into the car and started it.
It was a little cloudy, and the sun couldn't be seen. He drove back to the old house and turned off the water and electricity. Zhao Shu was enjoying the small sun in the security booth. He would retire next year, and this was the last winter to shine in his post.
"Zhao Shu, smoking less is good for your health!"
"I rely on it to prolong my life."
Zhao Shu smiled as usual, but the hair on his temples had already turned white.
Xu Qing left him a pot of scented tea that Jiang He dried. Although he rarely came to get tea, the sister and brother went to primary school here. They would come in the afternoon and usually take care of it.
That day, when Xu Jin and his brother were fighting with someone, if the two boys came a little closer and let Zhao Shu see them, he would definitely come out with his hands on his waist and scold them for being little bastards, and protect the three of them behind him.
This was the good thing about a familiar environment. It was neighbors, and people were cold and warm. It was hard to feel in the new house, so Xu Qing especially cherished it.
When they returned, the sister and brother had already discussed where to go. Shi 'an would help Xu Jin write ten pages of winter vacation homework in exchange for her vote to climb the Great Wall. Chang' an City would be left for later.
In the winter afternoon, Jiang City was peaceful.
