After binding the investment system, I began to cultivate the empress

As winter approaches, the sun seems to have lost its warmth even when shining on our bodies, but the streets are bustling with people pulling New Year's goods in carts and horses, and some are beating drums and gongs and setting off firecrackers to welcome their relatives who have returned from afar.

I can already smell the New Year atmosphere.

"Why do I celebrate my birthday together with the New Year?"

Li Mo recalled that his birthday always coincided with Chinese New Year every year.

As a result, everyone in the family prioritizes the Chinese New Year, and his birthday becomes secondary.

Ying Bing looked at the bustling street, unconsciously pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.

She actually doesn't like the Chinese New Year.

"Then I'll celebrate your birthday."

"!"

Student Li was stunned and stared at her blankly. Although the surroundings were extremely noisy, he felt it was very quiet.

"Let's go." Ying Bing turned his face away.

The two of them walked in Qinghe County where they grew up, from the hustle and bustle to the silence, and gradually there were fewer people around them.

Li Mo glanced at the slightly shaking hand, and suddenly felt that it was like the moon in a well, which made people want to scoop it up.

But the difference is that the moon in the well cannot be picked up, but Bingtuozi's little hands can.

wrong.

As soon as he reached out, the little hand moved to the other side and ran away.

"Ok?"

Li Mo raised his head and glanced at her flawless profile, but saw only an expression as if nothing had happened.

Is it a coincidence?

Student Li tried to catch the moon again, but every time he was just a little bit short and his hand would slip away.

"?"

Li Mo took a deep breath.

He perked up, flexed his hands, and looked for the right opportunity...

But this time, before he could even reach in, the 'moon in the well' landed right in his palm.

"????"

"Children."

Ying Bing felt the warmth on his palm, and the corners of his pretty mouth curled up slightly, no longer suppressing his smile.

Li Mo was stunned and realized that he had been attacked by the bad ice lump.

Can this be tolerated?

But the soft and fragrant touch of jade made his hands have their own ideas.

What a disappointment!

So the two of them held hands and walked along the river for a while. The surrounding buildings became noticeably sparser and quieter, and they could clearly hear the sound of the flowing river.

"Li Mo? Ying....Daughter of the Ying family?"

"you....."

Suddenly, a surprised voice came from the other side.

Li Mo raised his head and saw a figure coming into view.

"Fengzi? You've gained a lot of weight."

Zou Yongfeng was his childhood playmate. They had climbed trees together to take bird eggs and thrown firecrackers to blow up other people's water tanks. Although they later sold each other out, they still had a good relationship.

But later on, Li Mo was sent to a private school by his family, and they met less and less frequently.

When they met again, Zou Yongfeng seemed a little embarrassed and stood up at a loss.

For example, if one day you suddenly hear that the friend who used to pee and play in the mud with you when you were a child has suddenly become the richest man and appears in front of you again, everyone will feel that it is unreal and unfamiliar.

"Come on, call me brother."

Zou Yongfeng pulled the woman next to him, and the latter first called him brother.

He looked at Ying Bing and said tentatively:

"sister in law?"

Li Mo felt the little hand in his palm curl up slightly, and he smiled and greeted:

"Fengzi, you can do this. Are you planning to get married?"

"Getting married? I got married at the beginning of the year, and I'm going to be a father soon."

"what?"

Li Mo discovered that Lao Zou's wife's belly seemed to be slightly bulging...

Although Lao Zou calls him brother, he is actually one year older than him.

In his impression, Fengzi was still the little brat with two buckets of snot running down his nose, who was hated by everyone and everyone, but in the blink of an eye, he was about to become a father.

Well, it's quite bald.

"Why did you move here?" Li Mo remembered that Zou Yongfeng didn't live in West Street before.

Zou Yongfeng hesitated for a moment and said:

"Brother Mo, are you and your sister-in-law planning to go back to the Ying family's old house?"

The little hand in my palm suddenly clenched.

Li Mo reacted when he saw Bingtuozi's face turned slightly pale.

Going further along West Street, you will reach the edge of Qinghe County.

It is also the old house of the Ying family.

Many years ago, on New Year's Eve, my father went out temporarily and brought back Ying Bing, the only survivor, from the ruins and blood on the ground.
