On the street, all the shops have beautifully decorated Christmas trees in front of them. Huge 50% OFF signs can be seen everywhere in the windows. There are also staff in Santa Claus costumes at the door handing out small gifts or coupons. Everyone
Their faces were filled with excitement and excitement.
Xi Haitang took her two children to a store selling sports equipment. Xiao Chen, wearing a cute bunny hat, ran at the front, laughing all the way, "Mommy, brother, walk faster!"
"Okay, okay, come on." Xi Haitang held Yunhen's hand and quickened his pace.
The cheerful Christmas melody was still playing on the street, and the happiness on the children's faces was still innocent. Snow seemed to have finally fallen from the sky that had been gloomy for many days, and there were subtle white spots swaying in the sight. Xi Haitang felt the occasional sweetness on his cheeks.
Slightly cool.
"Mommy, we need to buy thick gloves, right?"
"Yes. The temperature in Finland is very low, so you need to be prepared to keep warm in advance."
"Yes! I understand!" Xiaochen nodded obediently, "Mommy, Yunhen and I have checked the map. Finland is in the north of Europe, and one-third of the country's land is within the Arctic Circle!"
Xi Haitang smiled and nodded, "Yes, most of Finland's land is within the Arctic Circle, so it is very cold, and Lapland, where we are going, is even colder. Winter enters in October every year and lasts until May of the next year.
Spring has just begun. There are eight months of winter!"
Xiaochen's face showed disbelief, "Eight months of winter is so long! But Santa Claus is very brave and is not afraid of the cold!"
As Xiaochen said, Lapland is "the hometown of Santa Claus".
Yun Hen frowned slightly. Although he was very happy to go to Lapland with his mommy and Xiaochen on Christmas, he felt that there was no Santa Claus in the world and that he was all lying to children because he
For the past three years, I have made a wish every Christmas Eve, asking Santa Claus to bring Daddy back, but it has never come true.
Xi Haitang's heart tightened slightly, and she gently put her arm around Yunhen's shoulders, trying to tell him that there are actually fairy tales in this world, "Yunhen, Lapland is beautiful, like a pure fairy tale world, where everything is full of fairy tales.
The woods, rivers and the white snow covering them are endless, clean and pure, and the Snow Queen lives there."
"Snow Queen?!"
"Well. In the farthest north, there lives the most beautiful and loneliest Snow Queen in the world. It is covered with white snow all year round. The beautiful Snow Queen lives in this temperatureless palace.
The walls made of white snow peaks and the glass made of cracked cold wind are so beautiful that it makes people cry from a distance. The Snow Queen has lived in this isolated palace for too long, and it is too deserted.
And she felt lonely, she didn't have any friends.
When Gay said, "I'll be your good friend," the Snow Queen asked, "Why do you want to be friends with me?"
Kai shook his head and said, "Nothing."
The Snow Queen continued: "People hate me and are jealous of me. I have always been a lonely person. Is it because you pity me?"
Gayi pondered for a while, and then said to the Snow Queen: "Because I love you, I love you very deeply, so I hope to see your happiness by your side."
After listening to this sad and beautiful story, Yun Henguo was really shaken, with some expectation in his clear eyes, "Mommy, does that mean that if we go to Lapland, we will be happier in the future?!"
"Yes." Xi Haitang's heart felt a bit of sweetness and sourness.
In the past three years, Yunhen has become more sensitive and indifferent than before. Although he didn't say it, she knew that the child's heart was already desolate.
Therefore, she hopes to take him to the most beautiful place in the world this time to awaken his childlike innocence that is on the verge of disappearing.

That night.
Gu Xijue sat in front of the computer in silence.
Because of the festival, people seem to have become busy. Friends and relatives go out to have fun in small groups, and the whole building becomes quiet and lonely.
After three years, he himself was a little surprised that he could still breathe.
Dr. Will visited him several times, and each time he would bring some medicines specially developed for him. He didn't know if those medicines worked, or if it was the city life in Copenhagen that had a good reaction.
In the past three years, apart from occasional headaches, I haven't had any particularly bad feelings.
Although the physical pain is less torturous, the wound in his heart is getting wider and wider. In the past three years, he has spent not a day in his thoughts. What he fears most is not knowing when he will die, but being alone in the dead of night.
of loneliness.
In the past three years, when he felt a little happy, it was when he saw news about Haitang in the media, watched her win awards again and again, and watched her make progress again and again.
I still remember what she said to him after winning the "Hand in Hand" award. She said that she thought that work was too luxurious and too vain. She still prefers to design jewelry for the public. Now she has finally done it and realized her dream.
The truest dream.
The tourmaline series she designed is popular all over the world. There are many categories of tourmaline, including red tourmaline, green tourmaline, azure tourmaline, colorless tourmaline, two-color tourmaline, watermelon tourmaline, cat's eye tourmaline, Alexander color change tourmaline, and Paraiba tourmaline.
.Because there are many categories, there are also many grades, and the price gap can naturally be reflected. The tourmaline series she designed is divided into high, middle and low grades, so people from every class have a choice.
While he was in a daze, the voice of QQ came from the computer that was turned on. Gu Xijue curled his lips and smiled. It was his only QQ friend - Wan Wan.
"Uncle, I have some good news for you. I'm going to Lapland!" Behind the sentence was a big smiling face, which made him feel happy just looking at it.
Gu Xijue quickly entered a line of text in the dialog box, "Wanwan, do you want to spend Christmas there?"
"Um."
"Remember to wear more clothes, it's very cold there." Unable to help himself, his tone became concerned.
"Uncle, you can go too. We can arrange a place to meet. We have been chatting for three years and haven't met yet. Uncle, can we meet?"
