"Yeah!" Xiaoling put her hand under her hat.

"Is it warm?"

"warm."

"Go back." Auntie put her hands in her trouser pockets and said goodbye to grandma.

"Does this mother-in-law always live here alone?"

After saying goodbye and walking out of the alley, Xiaoling looked back at the old house and asked.

"Yes."

"Then what about her meals?" Xiaoling's face showed some worry.

"She cooks for herself," replied my aunt.

"But I feel like the old lady can't even walk anymore, how is she supposed to cook?"

"do not know."

"What about her family?"

"I don't know. Maybe he's too busy at work to leave."

"Why don't you take your mother-in-law away?"

"Maybe my mother-in-law doesn't want to go."

"I do not want."

I stopped and turned to ask Xiaoling: "What don't I want?"

"I don't want this kind of life. I'll be alone when I get old." She avoided his gaze, as if she was irritated by something.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" I touched her head. "We will always be the closest relatives and will never be separated in our lifetime."

"Willn't it be like mom and dad, suddenly disappearing?" Xiaoling looked at me with tears in her eyes.

"No, I will take good care of you and aunt in the future. Let's buy a big villa and live together, okay? Even after we get married, can we live together?" At most, I can buy a townhouse. Anyway, it shouldn't be that difficult for me to make money, right?

"Pfft, Xiaomeng, what are you talking about! You're married and live together, don't you find your husband annoying?" My aunt tapped my head gently.

……

It was already past five in the evening when I got home. I took out my phone and saw that it was filled with more than 30 WeChat messages and more than a dozen missed calls, all from Tang Xin.

I quickly sent a WeChat message back: "I went back to my hometown, the signal is not good in the mountains."

Ten seconds later [Woo woo woo, don't scare me, I almost came to your house to find you. ]

[Not that exaggerated, right?]

[Yes, I couldn’t contact you for a whole day. ]

【I'm sorry, I was wrong.】

[Hmph, I forgive you for now. Do you want to watch the Spring Festival movies? ]

[Look, why not? Please help me choose a movie and buy me a ticket. I will pay you when the time comes.] Although I am typing this, to be honest, I have no interest in watching movies. They are all movies I have seen before. What is good about them?

[Then shall we go watch Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons? ]

[Okay.] Even though it’s a bad movie, it’s OK as long as the person I watch it with is Tang Xin.

"Sister, what are we having for dinner?" Seeing me standing stupidly in the kitchen replying to WeChat messages, Xiaoling came over and asked me.

"Fried rice cake. Do you like it?" Because it was too late, it was not practical to cook in the evening. I would be starving after cooking.

"I don't like it very much." Xiao Ling frowned, "There's no meat to eat."

"You just can't live without meat. Can I put more meat in your bowl?"

"Okay!" Xiaoling smiled, "I want more lean meat and no fat."

"It's wrong to be picky about food." I touched her head, "You have to finish eating the vegetables later."

"I know, I know, don't touch my head, it won't grow taller." Xiaoling blushed, gently slapped my hand away, and ran away. Sisters are really the most loving. If I had a sister in my previous life, maybe I would be an orthopedic surgeon in Germany...

The rice cakes were fried very quickly. In just a few minutes, three bowls of steaming and fragrant rice cakes were ready. Because of the soy sauce, the whole rice cake looked like it was emitting a golden glow.

"Wow, glowing food!" Xiaoling's eyes lit up. She ran into the restaurant and sat down.

"Today's fried rice cakes seem to be particularly fragrant." My aunt also echoed.

"Why don't you usually praise me more?" I said unhappily, "I'm afraid you guys are so hungry. Eat it while it's hot."

"it is good!"

As she spoke, Xiaoling picked up a piece of pork and threw it into her mouth. Her big eyes narrowed into slits. Before she swallowed it, she couldn't wait to say, "Sister, today's pork seems to be especially delicious. Did you change the cooking method?"

"You are such a foodie!" I looked at him lovingly, "Yes, I coated the pork with egg starch, fried it, and then stir-fried it with the rice cakes."

"It's so delicious! The thin and crispy shell, the meat inside is so tender and moist, the aroma almost overflows from your mouth." Xiao Ling pretended to shed tears and pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes, "This taste, how many times can you taste it in the world. I don't know which lucky man will be able to marry a virtuous, dignified, beautiful and gentle woman like my sister."

"That's enough. Stop flattering me. Eat it all. If there's even a single leaf left, you'll be made to clean the house for a day." I rolled my eyes at her. This girl's personality has become more and more weird since she entered junior high school. I counted on my fingers and it seemed that she has reached the age of a middle school student.

“Aunt, my sister is bullying.”

My sister started to call for help, but my aunt looked absent-minded and just ate her meal with a silly smile on her face.

"Aunt, please say something." Seeing that her aunt ignored her, the younger sister pushed her with her hand.

"Ah, what?" The aunt was startled and woke up from her infatuation. It is true that falling in love can make people stupid. Especially for girls who are in love, their IQ drops to zero.

"Don't ask your aunt to help you. She is too busy with her own affairs now."

"My own business? Is my aunt so busy at work? Isn't she on vacation?" Xiaoling obviously didn't know about her aunt and Teacher Song, and looked confused.

"You will understand in the future. If you don't understand, there is no point in telling you. There are too many interests involved. Telling you will not benefit you. I will remain anonymous."

"What? What riddle are you solving?" Xiaoling looked confused.

"You two, just eat. Don't talk. Talking while eating is disrespectful to food, do you understand? If you have something to say, talk about it after dinner." Aunt glared at both of us and continued to eat like a fangirl.

"Someone invited you to the movies again?"

"..."

After driving back and forth for 5 hours, I got home, took a shower, and started typing!

Chapter 45: Another Year of the Old Year

On the morning of New Year's Eve, the sky was gloomy and the temperature dropped to minus three degrees Celsius, which was a rare cold weather in the Jiangnan water town. Combined with the real damage of dampness and cold, the heavy down jacket I was wearing was useless, and I was still shivering at my desk.

Because I was too lazy to finish my homework, I had to start doing it on New Year's Eve. Although I was somewhat confident in my problem-solving and writing speed, I spent the whole morning and didn't finish much homework. And because my hands were cold, I was a little upset. If I continued writing like this, I would get frostbite.

Beep, the silent phone vibrated a few times.

[Xiao Meng, look outside! Look outside the window! ! ! ]

Tang Xin used three exclamation marks in a row, which seemed to be a very big deal. I slowly turned my head and looked out the window. I didn't know when a layer of mist had formed on the window, and I couldn't see clearly what was outside. I took a napkin and wiped it, and couldn't help but stop what I was doing.

"Is it snowing?"

The south of China welcomed a winter snowfall. The snowflakes were very large, gathering into large flakes in the sky and flying in groups. Compared with rain, heavy snow can bring more visual shock. Especially for southern kids like us who have only seen snow a few times in our lives, I was a little dazed by the sight. I haven't seen snow for a long time. It seems that after I graduated and started working, it never snowed in N City again.

[Isn’t it nice? ]

[It's beautiful, there's a lot of snow~]

Looking at the clouds in the sky, the snow probably won’t stop immediately and is expected to continue for a whole day.

[Do you think it will snow?] I was a little worried because I had agreed to watch a movie with Tang Xin.

[Yes, it will, after all, it is raining so hard. ]

[What should I do at night? It’s inconvenient to go out.]

[Xiao Meng, just stay at home and wait for me. I will ask your uncle to drive over to pick you up.]

[It's Chinese New Year, aren't you causing too much trouble for others? ]

[No, uncle's salary is very high. ]

[Ah, is that so? Then ask uncle to drive slower and be careful on the road.]

...

...

Sure enough, my prediction was correct. The snow kept falling for the whole afternoon, and by the evening it showed no sign of stopping. Instead, it snowed even harder, with a lot of snow accumulating on the ground.

After the New Year's Eve dinner, the three of us sat together and watched TV. I looked at my phone from time to time and agreed that Tang Xin would pick me up at eight o'clock.

Seeing that I looked distracted, Xiaoling asked me, "Sister, are you going out tonight?"

"Yeah, I made an appointment with a friend to go to the movies." I scratched my head, feeling a little embarrassed to be seen through.

"Tang Xin, right? Come back early in the evening." My aunt glanced at me and didn't ask too many questions.

"Eh? Sister, are you really going out so late?"

"Yeah~"

"Is it safe to go out so late? It's snowing heavily outside." Xiaoling was a little worried.

"Don't worry, Tang Xin will come to pick me up." I touched her head.

"Is that so? It's not safe to drive in the snow, right?"

"Well, I'll advise the driver to drive slower."

Xiaoling stopped talking and turned her head away, seeming a little angry. I had no idea why this girl suddenly ignored me, as if I would be in danger if I went out and would not come back.

[Xiao Meng, come out quickly! I'm at your door!] Tang Xin sent this WeChat message early in the morning while the news was still playing on TV.

I jumped up from the sofa and said goodbye to my aunt and Xiaoling: "I'm going out! I'll be back later."

"be careful."

"Oh"
