Chapter 69: A Different Year

In Fushui City, snow-covered streets extend, and scattered snowflakes are still falling on the streets. In the past ten years, the first time it snowed in the south has made the citizens of the city excited. They are wrapped tightly and go out together, build snowmen and play snowball fights at their own doors or in spacious places. Some are approaching the end of the year and have free time, and take their wives, children and children happily to the street shops and buy New Year's clothes and snacks.

The streets were disturbing and clamoring, playing various festive and popular music. On the streets, white air rose from the bargaining mouth. In the crowded crowd, a woman was wearing over-the-knee boots, an open brown windbreaker, and a turtleneck sweater inside showed her slim figure. She came out of the cake shop, carried a pile of bread of different sizes and got into the street car, and returned to the residential community.

Red lanterns were hung on dilapidated residential buildings, and the characters of happiness were pasted on the windows of every household. When they met familiar neighbors in the corridor, they smiled and greeted them one after another.

After a moment, when he arrived at the door of his house on the third floor, Liu Qingyue groped for the keys in her bag. There was a sound of a lock turning sound in the door. The girl inside, wearing a cartoon tiger pajamas, was left with only a small face outside, and raised a bunch of keys in her hand in anger.

"Sister, you don't bring your keys to go out. I won't open the door for you next time."

"Don't be old-fashioned when speaking. Be careful not to grow old before you grow up."

Liu Qingyue knocked on the little head with a tiger's head in her door, stuffed a bag of bread in her arms, "Take it in the refrigerator."

"Eat these again!!"

The little man squeezed out a grimace, looking at his sister who was holding her legs and dragging her long boots and wearing slippers with her slippers, the little girl sighed helplessly, turned around and dragged a piece of the tail behind her pajamas, walked to the sofa cutely, sat on it, took the remote control, switched the channel boredly, and muttered in her mouth.

"Our New Year and the holidays are so lively that no matter how bad they are, they can eat a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. My family knew that they were eating bread, and it was the same last year, and this year, so... Fortunately, I was precocious, otherwise I would starve to death."

"You also know that you are precocious! You don't learn from other children."

After taking off two pairs of boots, Liu Qingyue breathed a sigh of relief. She went over to lie down half-slanted on the sofa, bent her feet, and kneaded hard. "However, there are other reasons for eating bread this time."

"On a business trip? Or is it too cold outside and don't want to go out to buy vegetables?" The little girl who looked at the cartoon came over and looked at her sister rubbing her feet, and sighed again, shook her head with a look of regret: "Sister, you are at least reserved, how can you get married in the future?"

"You are a little man and a big man, take care of yourself!"

Liu Qingyue was amused by her. She took the pillow and tapped her on the little man's head, but stopped teasing her, "Go and clean up, we will go out for the New Year this year."

"travel?!"

The little man turned his face and his round eyes suddenly showed excitement. He grabbed the woman's foot, "Sister, where are we going to travel for the New Year? Sanya, or to go abroad to Hawaii?"

"Look at the Terracotta Warriors."

The little girl's smile froze immediately. She continued to take the remote control and flipped the channel with her chin. Liu Qingyue rubbed her head hard.

"If you don't go? If you don't go, then my sisters will eat bread at home."

"go!"

The little man put the remote control heavily, glared at his sister who was smiling, swayed the little tail behind his pajamas, and went back to the room to pack up his things.

"I can't clean up you." Liu Qingyue turned off the TV, went back to the room and stretched lazily, let out a breath of breath, took out the suitcase that had not been used in the lattice on the wardrobe for a long time, picked up the clothes and folded them inside.

The plane ticket has been booked and I will leave in the afternoon. I finally got a chance to take a vacation, so I don’t need to do it in vain. If I stay again, I’m afraid I will be arrested again and I will be taken to duty and don’t think about the New Year.

After putting down his clothes, he put a lot of cosmetics in his arms, then he stopped lying down at the bedside, turned off his phone to mute it, and put all the phones of his partners and bosses on the blacklist.

‘Well... I will bring you back after the New Year comfortably!’

Thinking of this, I loudly urged the younger sister next door through the wall, while flipping through the mobile phone album. Most of them were task records taken at work, and some were selfies when I went to a unique place for a task. When I turned to the back, I suddenly saw several murals taken in the cave.

A pair of willow eyebrows frowned slightly and murmured with doubt.

“When did I take it….”

After looking over and over, enlarged the photo, he looked at the young scholar reading and writing on the mural, staring at the appearance of the character under the stroke, and frowned even more, feeling a little familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen it.

As I stared at my eyes, I suddenly felt a little dazed. The picture in my sight seemed to fall on the lake and ripples. The book life on the painting stood in front of me, leading the old donkey past her, raising her face, and smiling.

"sister......"

"elder sister?!"

Suddenly there were crisp words wandering in his ears. The woman woke up suddenly, and then she realized that she kept looking at her phone and leaned against the head of the bed. She didn't even know that her sister came in and stood by the bed.

"What time is it?"

"It's almost ten o'clock. What do you think with your phone? You're so sensible."

Liu Qingyue shook her head, stroked her hair, and smiled at the little man. She didn't know what she was in a daze, so she naturally couldn't explain it. She hurriedly urged her sister to carry her luggage, each of whom prepared to eat on the road. The two sisters then hurried downstairs with their big and small luggage and drove to the airport. During the New Year, the road section must be congested. If you don't go earlier, you're afraid that traffic jams will be stuck on the road, so you deserve to be unlucky.

As for what just happened...

Out of professional habits, Liu Qingyue still thought about it after boarding the plane. She didn't think until the flight attendant came to remind her that she would switch to flight mode or turn off the plane.

‘Not care, let’s talk about it after the New Year!’

Looking at the sister beside her, the woman took her cell phone, hugged the little girl lovingly, leaned against each other and looked at the airport outside the round window.

...........

On the heavy branches, snowflakes fell to the ground, swaying the shape of flowers, and the closed house in the yard was creaking and pushed open. Lu Liangsheng and Taoist blew out a breath of white air, looking at the water tank that formed a thin layer of ice, the blink of an eye, the ice melted, and the water surface was filled with warm air.

‘Gululu~~~’

‘Hota!’

The water stains in the wrapping mouth were spit on the ground with foam. The Taoist took a toothbrush and looked back at the scholar who took a hot towel over his face.

"Lao Lu, what are the arrangements for the next time? I won't spend the New Year in this courtyard, right? If not, I would have to go out by myself. Lao Cao made an appointment with me. Eight women, although some of them are a little older, are not bad. I heard that they are still widows..."

"Cao Aman is really good at this..."

Lu Liangsheng threw a towel and put it on the shelf by himself. Looking at the brother-in-law in front of him, he was actually a little embarrassed. After all, Sun Yingxian was guarding Qixia Mountain, which only left after Xiaoxian's death. After more than a thousand years, he was alone. Lu Liangsheng felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he had not passed for a long time, but it was indeed inappropriate to not look for it.

"Oh... it's hard to deal with."

His eyes passed through the open window lattice, and in the glass cabinet, the Toad Taoist was surrounded by a group of figures and slept soundly. He seemed to notice the gaze that looked outside the window, shook his eyelids lazily, stretched out the flippers and retracted into the quilt, turned around and looked inside, ignoring Lu Liangsheng.

"It's really not good for the New Year."

Lu Liangsheng suddenly remembered that Chang'an had not been there before, and he immediately slapped his hand. He was so scared that the Taoist who was squatting aside and fiddling with his cell phone that he almost couldn't hold it in and dropped the cell phone into the ice water.

On the side, the scholar looked at the snow all over the yard, turned his face to the side, and smiled at the surprised Taoist.
