On December 23, Xi Haitang, Xiaochen and Yunhen arrived in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, and then took a train to Lapland.
As the train moved along, Xi Haitang asked the two children to sit by the window. Through the window, they could see the vast world of Lapland, filled with dense forests, pure wilderness, frozen lakes and harbors.
There is not a trace of dust in the high sky, and it is as transparent as crystal.
The Northern Lights hang on the sky, shining with mysterious light with a fairy tale color. It is easy to fall into fantasy, thinking about the eternal happiness that the great Santa Claus will give people at the end of the beautiful world.
Xiaochen and Yunhen suddenly shouted excitedly and pointed out the window, "Mommy, look! That seems to be Ear Mountain!"
The children's voices interrupted Xi Haitang's contemplation. She regained consciousness and looked out the window in the direction of the children's fingers. Sure enough, she saw mountains shaped like ears.
Xi Haitang picked up the travel brochure, opened a few pages, and told the two children, "Er Mountain is the national boundary between Russia, no, it was still the Soviet Union at that time, and Finland leading to the Arctic Ocean. The Finnish children's story King Mal
Kus got inspiration from it. When he told a story on the radio, he said that Santa Claus lives on this mountain with 20,000 reindeer. It is because of his ears that Santa Claus can hear the voices of all the children in the world at the North Pole.
.”
Xiaochen and Yunhen both pursed their lips and snickered. That's great. They will also make a wish when they get there. They hope that daddy can come back soon and the family can be reunited!
Xi Haitang's gaze gently brushed over the faces of the two children, and she saw the light of hope in their clear eyes. In fact, she also had the same hope. Xiaoyi's progress made her see miracles. There really are miracles in the world.
What exists is that she doesn't know when the miracle that belongs to her and Gu Xijue will come.
In the past three years, she has lived a very peaceful life. As long as she does not deliberately stir her heartstrings or think of a figure or even a voice, her days will be peaceful from sunrise to sunset, fulfilling and rich. But,
When dreaming back at midnight, he would always appear stubbornly in her sleep, and she would always wake up with a start, always waking up in the middle of the night, raising her hand to look at the red silk thread on her wrist, and remaining in a daze until dawn.
The trains in Europe are very different from those in China. There are almost no passengers in the empty carriages. As the wheels roll, there is a peaceful atmosphere...

Finally, Xi Haitang and her two children arrived at the world-famous Santa Claus Village.
"It's so cold!" Xiaochen and Yunhen's little faces turned red immediately when the cold wind blew them.
Xi Haitang quickly knelt down and helped them put on their masks, "Don't take them off!"
"Well...but the voice when you speak like this is muffled and unpleasant."
Xi Haitang shook his head and smiled, "Who are you talking to, and you have so many worries!"
"We need to talk to Uncle G! Didn't he already promise that he would come to Lapland too! Mommy, if we talk like this with masks on, it may cause misunderstandings!"
"What misunderstanding?"
"It's a 'dinosaur'. It's a popular word on the Internet. If netizens meet a 'dinosaur', they will be - 'die in the light'!"
"What a mess!" Xi Haitang didn't understand that. She only knew how to prevent her two babies from freezing. "Okay, don't stand here blabbering. Let's go to the village quickly!"
"Well, let's go to the post office first. Uncle G said he would wait for us there!"
"Uncle G, Uncle G, I just know Uncle G!" Xi Haitang couldn't help but feel a little bit amused. They heard them talking about this Uncle G along the way.
Xiaochen and Yunhen secretly laughed. Although Uncle G is very important, he cannot be compared with Daddy. The most important purpose of their coming here is to make a wish to find Daddy, and meeting Uncle G is really just a way to go!
Xi Haitang bought three tickets at the entrance of Santa Claus Village. The staff serving her turned out to be Santa Claus. His cheeks were like roses, his nose was like cherries, his cheeks were covered with white beards, and he was followed by two reindeer. Santa Claus
He handed over the tickets with a smile and said, "I wish you a good time!"
"Thank you." Xi Haitang held the hands of Xiaochen and Yunhen and slowly walked away.
About twenty minutes later, Gu Xijue also arrived, bought a ticket, and entered the village.

There is a long queue at the door of Santa Claus Post Office. This is the peak tourist season, and people from all over the world are waiting here anxiously to buy postcards in order.
Xi Haitang, who was in the middle position, couldn't help but feel a little anxious. The weather was too cold, and she was a little worried about the children getting cold. "Xiaochen, Yunhen, are you cold?"
"It's okay..." There was a layer of frost on the masks of the two children.
"Don't stand still and stomp your feet back and forth."
"Yeah." Xiaochen and Yunhen jumped out of the team and walked back and forth a few times, their little heads swaying here and there, wondering if Uncle G was here.
Xiaochen touched the mobile phone in her pocket and wondered why it hadn't rang yet. Her QQ was always on, and Uncle G said he would send her a message as soon as he arrived.
Feeling a little anxious, Xiaochen took out his cell phone and wanted to call Uncle G, but when he looked down, he was dumbfounded, "Uh... the phone has been frozen and turned off!"
Yunhen was also at a loss, this situation was really unexpected!
"It seems...there is no way to contact Uncle G..." The voices of the two children were slightly frustrated.
Xi Haitang quickly comforted him, "Okay, okay, don't be sad. When we get back to where we live, the phone will be able to restart after a while. Then we can contact Uncle G, eh?!"
"That's all it can do!"
Xiaochen and Yunhen both felt a little disappointed in their hearts, seeing that Uncle G's plan did not go well, but the next plan to make a wish and find their father must come true!
There seemed to be something going on at the front of the queue. After a while, there was no movement. After a brief inquiry, I found out that it was a tourist from Mauritius who couldn't understand the language with the staff. After buying the postcard, he encountered a jam when registering the mailing address.
The staff in Santa Claus costumes walked from the front of the line to the back, asking in fluent English as they walked, "Is there anyone who understands Mauritian? Please help me!"
"I will." Someone from behind the team responded.
"Ah, great, sir, please come to the front and help translate!"
"OK."
Xi Haitang, Xiaochen and Yunhen, like all the tourists, looked over with curiosity, but when they saw the figure following Santa Claus getting closer and closer, they were all stunned...
