Kneel down and beg to return to the field

In the severe cold of winter, getting out of bed has become a particularly painful thing.

Waking up early in the morning and feeling the chill in the outside air, He Zhi, who has always had excellent living habits, couldn't help but feel a little bit like staying in bed.However, today is New Year's Eve, not the time to stay in bed.

When the morning light first appeared, Wei Lai's sound of shoveling snow came from outside the door, and He Zhi woke up.It's just that when everything was tidied up and Xi Qiu opened the door, it was already bright outside.

The old wooden door opened with a "squeak", and then Xi Qiu exclaimed in a small voice: "Miss, come and see!"

He Zhi hadn't washed yet, she was waiting for Xi Qiu to bring hot water, but she also stepped out of the room when she heard this.Then when I looked up, I saw a white and round snowman piled up in the yard at some point, with a specially made smiling face on its round face, facing He Zhi's door, it seemed strange at first glance. A little naive.

Except for Wei Lai, who can build a snowman in the Wei family's yard, he hardly thinks about it.

A smile flashed in He Zhi's eyes, and then he thought of something, and turned his gaze to Xi Qiu, and sure enough, he saw the little girl staring at the snowman with surprise.

There is nothing unusual about a snowman, but thinking about who made that snowman, Xi Qiu couldn't help being a little surprised—think about how General Xiao Wei looked when he killed someone, and imagine how she looked when she was building a snowman in the yard. Impossible to imagine!

He Zhi naturally knew the reason for Xi Qiu's expression, and she also knew that Wei Lai's heart would be a little soft even though there was blood in his hands.However, these are not things that can be known to others, so she chuckled lightly, and even her tone was slightly teased: "I really didn't expect General Wei to be so...childlike?!"

These words are simply saying that Wei Lai is naive.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, when Miss He said this, General Xiao Wei had just walked up to her, so a smile froze on his face.After a long while, he rubbed his nose in embarrassment and said, "I saw a lot of snow in the yard in the morning, and it was useless to sweep it up. I just wanted to do it on a whim, so..."

Xi Qiu's full of weirdness was distracted by his young lady's words. Although he didn't think Wei Lai was naive, he also found it a little funny.But seeing Wei Lai's embarrassment, she still helped and said something: "General Wei made this snowman out of good intentions. Miss, don't you think that having this snowman in the yard is an extra scene?"

From Xi Qiu's point of view, Wei Laidui's snowman was obviously trying to curry favor with her lady, so he didn't think much about it.

Just as he helped to say a nice word, Xi Qiu suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned around and pushed his lady into the room: "Miss, you go back to the room quickly, I'll be back later."

Xi Qiu's reaction was so sudden that even He Zhi couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was led out of the room by Xi Qiu's exclamation early in the morning, but she hadn't had time to wash up yet.

It is extremely rude to go out to meet people "unkempt" early in the morning.Especially when facing the "fiancée-in-law", it's not just a faux pas.

Xi Qiu hurriedly pushed his young lady into the room, afraid of leaving a bad impression on General Wei.Although He Zhi felt disrespectful after regaining her senses, it seemed that it was not just rude to be made such a fuss by Xi Qiu.

A little embarrassing, and a little... ashamed? !

So before General Wei could not react at all, Ms. He hurried back to her room without even giving her a look.

Turning her head, the little girl stood in the doorway and asked solemnly, "What's the matter, General Wei?"

Wei Lai shook his head in a daze, she only came when He Zhi went out and saw the snow she made.

"Then General Wei, go get busy if you have something to do, and there is nothing wrong with Miss." The little girl continued to keep a straight face, and issued the order to evict the guest in a serious manner.In the end, he turned his head and closed the door, completely blocking Wei Lai's inquiring sight.

Wei Lai was baffled by the disturbance, but he was good-tempered and didn't bother. He only glanced at the closed door behind Xi Qiu and turned away.

After a while, seeing Xi Qiu rushing to the kitchen and returning with a basin of steaming hot water, Wei Lai, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly realized.

※※※

New Year's Eve is the busiest day, especially since the Wei family hasn't had a reunion for many years. This year, Wei Lai came back to celebrate the New Year with Aunt Wei. She was very attentive and started preparing for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner early in the morning.

On days like this, naturally no one can be idle.The whole family circled around the kitchen, and even Ms. He, who usually didn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers, washed her hands and made soup today--the ladies who were trained according to the standard of being a housewife always know how to cook their dishes. One or two.

Xiaoxiao was busy and busy, and the day passed quickly.This kind of New Year's Eve is a rare experience for He Zhi and even Xi Qiu.

When dusk came, the Wei family's New Year's Eve dinner was ready.The sound of "cracking" firecrackers has been heard in the town since Shenshi. Before one family finished setting off, another family's firecrackers were connected again, one after another, and the noise was so loud that people's ears were numb.But in a day like today, no one would complain.

This remote town was very lively for a while.

Wei Lai dug out the bamboo poles and firecrackers that he had prepared earlier, hung the firecrackers on the bamboo poles and said with a smile: "After setting off the firecrackers, we can have dinner, and we have to watch the night together."

He Zhi was standing beside Wei Lai, seeing the smile on her face, and hearing this, her heart felt inexplicably warm.

At that moment, it really felt like a family celebrating the festival happily together, even adding a bit more atmosphere than the well-regulated Shangshu Mansion in the capital.

But when it comes to Shangshu Mansion, He Zhi, who is spending the New Year outside for the first time, still feels a little homesick.Although there are a lot of rules in the Shangshu Mansion, and it is extremely troublesome to move around in the new year, but after all, there are parents who love her and a few brothers who have always loved her. They should return to Beijing during the New Year, right?

Ms. He, who was suddenly homesick, felt a little lost for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, Wei Lai had already walked to the far door with a bamboo pole.

He casually inserted the bamboo pole with the firecrackers on the courtyard gate, Wei Lai turned around and greeted with the firecracker he had prepared earlier: "It's time to light the fire, cover your ears!"

A greeting brought He Zhi back to his senses, subconsciously obediently raising his hand to cover his ears.

Wei Lai saw that several people had obediently covered their ears, turned around and blew on the fire pocket to light the fire, then quickly put away the fire pocket and turned around and ran a few steps.Before she ran back to He Zhi and the others, the firecrackers behind her were already "crackling".

He covered his ears and ran for a few steps, wondering if Wei Lai was unlucky, as soon as he turned his head, a half-blown firecracker hit his forehead.She just felt a little pain and frowned slightly, but when He Zhi who was next to her turned her head to look, she found that there was a small bruise on her forehead where she was hit by the bullet.

The firecrackers were "crackling", and He Zhi couldn't ask a question - amidst the loud noise, she still couldn't roar at the top of her voice, not to mention that even if she roared, Wei Lai, who was covering her ears, couldn't do it. Must hear.

After a while, the long string of firecrackers in front of Wei's courtyard was finished, He Zhi turned to Wei Lai and asked, "Are you okay?"

Wei Lai, who didn't care about the little thing on his forehead at all, didn't react for a while, and his expression was a little dazed.Then He Zhi raised her hand and gently tapped the bruise on her forehead and said, "Your forehead is bruised."

It was just hit by a small piece of firecracker, and the bruise was only the size of a peanut, not to mention He Zhi, even if Wei Lai looked in the mirror by himself, he might not notice it.However, General Wei was very happy to have Ms. He's concern. She subconsciously raised her hand to touch the bruise, then waved her hand and said with a smile: "It's okay, and it doesn't hurt. It just so happens that the firecrackers are over, let's go in... ..."

Before he finished speaking, Wei Lai stopped suddenly, and then turned his head to look out suddenly, even the smile on his face restrained a bit.

"What's the matter?" He Zhi was puzzled, subconsciously followed Wei Lai's gaze, but saw nothing.

Wei Lai has already suppressed his smile, and frowned slightly: "It seems that there is the sound of horseshoes."
