Chapter 2   Floating Snow (1)

"It's too cold today, maybe it will snow tomorrow."

Tong Chengwang came home from get off work, yelled at his palms, and asked while changing his shoes: "Have Xinxin finished school?"

Xin Yan, who was cooking in the kitchen, poked her head out and glanced at the clock on the wall, "I haven't returned yet.

Lao Tong, please call Sinian and see if he goes to pick up his sister."

Tong Chengwang took out his cell phone and Tong Xin came back.

Her small body was blown by the wind and she couldn't recover. She shivered and her tongue couldn't straighten.

After a while, he let out a loud breath, "It's so cold!"

Xin Yan poked his head again, "Call your brother and ask him how long it will take to get home."

Tong Xin sent her schoolbag back to the bedroom, "I've already called after school. My brother said he would work overtime and wouldn't come back to have dinner at night."

Xin Yan said "Oh" and continued cooking.

Tong Chengwang turned on the TV and transferred to the news channel.

Tong Xin stood beside the sofa and listened to each other for a few minutes.

After the suicide of a female student in Shanghai jumped off a building, she discovered a large gold mine somewhere along the coast.

Tong Chengwang was happy, "I have been to this town. I went on a business trip before the New Year, and it was this place."

Tong Xin looked up at the TV and had some impression of this place name.

In July, my father also brought local specialties, a box of hairtail fish.

As a result, I was smelly when I came back and was muttered by my mother for a long time, "I really don't know how to buy things, so don't bring anything next time, I'm wasting it, that's not it."

Tong Chengwang scratched his temples and said to himself: "Oh, I'm doing something bad again."

Tong Xin's father is a professor in the Department of Geology at Hanlan University. He is very concise in his work, and straight men do not matter their age.

Tong Xin's mother is the director of the gynecology department of Qingli People's Hospital. She has been in the medical field for decades and has done too many surgeries. She has suffered from old diseases in her hands. Recently, she has become more and more serious. She has thought of retreating internally. It is estimated that it has been in the past or two years.

“Eat some fish.”

Xin Yan picked up food for Tong Xin.

Tong Xin tasted it, "It's delicious.

Have you left it for me?"

"Leave half a piece."

Xin Yan divided the tenderest belly into half, half to her daughter and half to her husband.

Tong Chengwang asked: "Is there a monthly exam next week?"

"Um."

“Don’t be stressed.”

"good."

Tong Xin responded.

Tong Chengwang praised him, "Oh! This fish is good."

Xin Yan's face was full of joy, "I don't even look at who made it."

Tong Xin lowered his head and chuckled softly.

The news broadcast on TV continued, and the occasional collision of bowls and chopsticks on the dining table.

The house is warm and the green plants on the flower stand are growing lushly.

“By the way.”

Tong Chengwang said: "When I got off work, I saw the lights on next door.

Did Lao Li and his family move back?"

Xin Yan remembered: "I didn't go back, I rented it out."

"Yo, that's a new neighbor."

Tong Chengwang asked a few more questions about the topic: "What do neighbors look like?"

"I didn't see clearly, I'm pretty young anyway."

Xin Yan took a break today and saw a figure from afar when she was shopping for groceries.

He was tall and stood straight, and didn't see the front.

Their community was originally a welfare house with a large apartment, located in the city center, surrounded by several schools. In recent years, housing prices have risen and have always been a hot bun.

Old Li next door immigrated with his family two years ago, and the house was idle. Several groups of people came to ask if it was for sale, but in the end, they did not make any negotiations.

Tong Xin returned to the bedroom to do homework after dinner.

On the phone, Ju Niannian popped up the news: "Please help, Xin Xu! I can't solve this question!"

Tong Xin saw it and called her back, "The teacher talked about the answers to this type of question twice today. Haven't you listened to the class?"

Ju Niannian: "TVT, Teacher Tong, I was wrong."

Tong Xin sighed, "You know you're wrong."

"Uh-huh!"

"Okay, bye."

Tong Xin hung up the phone.

"?"

An hour later, Tong Xin sent her a detailed solution to the problem. Her handwriting was clear and beautiful, and her voice was gentle.

Ju Niannian was grateful: "From now on, I will burn incense every day to ask the Bodhisattva to bless Tong Xin to be admitted to Tsinghua University."

Tong Xin: "I won't apply to Tsinghua University, I will take the entrance exam for Peking University."

Ju Niannian: “…”

Tong Xin was doing exercises until eleven o'clock, and the white walls reflected her figure at her desk.

Tong Xin stretched and went to the kitchen to pour water to drink.

My parents have already fallen asleep, and my brother's room has a neat bed, and it seems that it is another night shift.

The next day was Saturday, and Tong Xin still got off at 6 o'clock and left the bedroom after reading English in the morning.

Xin Yan was already making breakfast, so she made soy milk, there was pumpkin pie in the frying pan, and a lunch box on the table.

"Hi, after breakfast later, I'll send this to my new neighbor."

Xin Yan finished her busy work and walked out with soy milk.

Tong Xin knew that her mother had always been warm and it was not surprising that she would bring warmth to her new neighbors.

At around nine o'clock, Tong Xin went out with the pumpkin cake.

Although the two families are unique, they are only about ten meters away.

The door of the neighbor's house was not closed and was open, and the scene inside was completely visible.

The weather is very good today, and it has been raining for a long time, and the sun shines happily.

Tong Xin covered her with her hands, which was a little dazzling.

“He really said that?

I am afraid of him leaving Shanghai?"

Hearing the sound, Tong Xin paused.

The man's voice was clear, but I don't know if it was smoke or not, but it didn't sleep well. It sounded a little hoarse and quite gentle.

Tong Xin's good impression of him lasted for two seconds—

"I'm afraid of him!"

"As soon as I left, he felt that he could do it, right?"

"I wasn't ruthless enough to beat him last time, and next time, he would have to remove both legs."

Tong Xin subconsciously took two small steps back and touched his legs.

After getting used to the light, she saw clearly the person standing in the door.

It is very tall, with a little longer hair than a buzz cut, refreshing and smoothly setting off the facial features.

He was facing his back, putting one hand in his pocket, and holding his cell phone in his other hand was very impatient.

He was not wearing a coat, and the black cashmere sweater could be seen to have wide shoulders and thin shoulders and a narrow waist, which was an eye-catching clothes rack.

Tong Xin realized that he was watching a little too much, so he quickly withdrew his gaze and pinched the pumpkin pie in his hand.
