Autumn has passed and winter has come, the first snow of this winter in Taolin Township fell in the evening.

That day, Lin Chu and Cheng Wanqiu didn't set up a stall because the weather was too cold to take a break. The customers who often buy their pastries are used to it. They don't set up a stall as long as the weather is too cold. I think so.

Many old customers of the former bar silently liked Lin Chu's circle of friends when they saw it, and some people commented, one of which was obviously left by a girl: Boss!There may be first snow today!

Lin Chu didn't read those comments. He sat cross-legged in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. There was a long white table in front of him, and the table was full of small particles of Lego blocks.

This is the birthday present he bought for Cheng Wanqiu. It's a tree house with so many grains that Lin Chu's scalp tingles.

When he was frowning at the instruction manual, the white snowflakes outside the floor-to-ceiling windows had slowly fallen, and after a while, the hardy trees had been dyed white by the first snow this winter.

Lin Chu's first reaction when he saw snow was to throw away the manual in his hand, get up and run to the kitchen, "Brother! It's snowing!"

Cheng Wanqiu was making dumplings in the kitchen, stuffed with fresh shrimps, each dumpling was rounded, this is Lin Chu's favorite dumpling stuffing.

He knew that Lin Chu had been looking forward to this snow for a long time, so he couldn't help but smile when he said that it was snowing, raised his face to look at the person walking beside him, leaned over and kissed the lips that came close to him, He said softly: "The red wine you treasured can finally be taken out to drink."

Lin Chu nodded expectantly, turned around and walked out of the kitchen, left the LEGO bricks that were only a third together and walked back to the bedroom on the second floor.

For today's first snow, he specially bought a white fleece blanket, which was actually a bit big for the bay window in the bedroom, but Lin Chu didn't care, he washed the blanket from the closet. The fragrant fluffy blanket was brought out, folded in half and spread on the spotless bay window, and the bay window was tidied before going downstairs with satisfaction.

In the kitchen, Cheng Wanqiu was already cooking dumplings when he heard brisk footsteps behind him, followed by a warm body against his back.

Lin Chu pressed his cheek against his shoulder, "Cook a red wine tonight."

"it is good."

"Shall we wash together at night?"

Usually Lin Chu asked this because he wanted to wash together, otherwise he would say I wash first, so Cheng Wanqiu nodded upon hearing this, "We wash together."

Lin Chu wrapped his arms around his waist, "It's snowing, and the year will not be far away."

Cheng Wanqiu smiled silently, "It's still early for Chinese New Year."

"It's not too early, Christmas is almost here, and the Chinese New Year will be less than a month after Christmas... Speaking of which, the snow this year is a little too late. I would have thought that there would be no snow this year."

"Well, do you like Christmas trees? Would you like to have one in your house?"

"I want to, but it feels very troublesome."

"No trouble, it will have a festive atmosphere at home."

"Oh yes, you grew up abroad, and you celebrate Christmas abroad, so let's set up a tree." Lin Chu was suddenly happy as he spoke, "Hey, why do we two seem to patronize and play all day long?"

"Really? I think it's work and rest."

"Two days ago, when I took a break, Brother Dong said that I had fallen, and Wang Jinyuan also said that I was a wayward little princess. I think they are a bit too much. Brother, you go and talk about them."

Lin Chu flipped through the little notebook in which he held grudges in his heart, and after dinner and soaking in the bathtub with Cheng Wanqiu, he still reminded him to remember to have a good talk with them.

Cheng Wanqiu didn't put him off, hugged the slippery body in his arms and kissed, "Okay, I'll have a good talk with them next time we eat, how can you be a willful little princess? You are obviously my sweet and Soft peaches."

In the bathtub, Lin Chu was so kissed by Cheng Wanqiu that his hands and legs were limp, his eyes were misty, his cheeks were flushed, and he didn't even bother to lift his arms when he was carried out of the bathtub.

Cheng Wanqiu helped him wipe his body and put on a fleece winter pajamas, carried him to the bedroom on the second floor, then went downstairs to the kitchen to find star anise, cinnamon, leaves and cloves, and took out the bottle that Lin Chu kept specially for him from the glass cabinet. Wine in the snow.

The aroma of brewing red wine filled the living room, and after a while Cheng Wanqiu returned to the bedroom on the second floor with a glass teapot and two glasses.

Lin Chu leaned against the bay window, the night view of the city could be seen from the southeast of the window, and countless vehicles would pass by that spacious road.

The lights in the room were not turned on, Cheng Wanqiu walked to the bay window with two glasses of warm red wine, and offered the other glass to Lin Chu.

After Lin Chu took it, he patted the seat beside him, and as soon as Cheng Wanqiu sat down, he pressed it into his arms.

The snow outside the window was getting bigger and bigger, and there was a layer of snow on the road after a while.

Lin Chu silently drank the slightly sweet and astringent boiled red wine in the cup, quietly enjoying the warmth that belonged to him alone.

As the night deepened, the red wine in the glass teapot had run out. Lin Chu's pajamas were half off, revealing a large white chest. He lay on the warm velvet blanket by the bay window, moaning softly from his mouth.

The heavy snow that came at the end of the year fell intermittently for several days. By Christmas, the whole Taolin Town was covered with snow. Lin Chu sat cross-legged on the floor of the living room. I wanted to capture the white world outside the floor-to-ceiling windows together.

Cheng Wanqiu was baking biscuits and small cakes in the kitchen. When he came out, Lin Chu was already lying on the ground. After a while, he sat up with a smile, and posted the picture of the Christmas tree he took so hard to Moments, with the text: Spend Christmas with my brother.

Liu Erjing likes and comments at the speed of light: Will my brother eat turkey today?

Lin Chu replied: Don’t eat turkey, eat roast chicken and dumplings, combine Chinese and Western [cool]

Lin Chu had never celebrated Christmas before, but Shen Dong's bar was very lively on Christmas Day every winter. Many guests would come with gifts just to give them to him, but Lin Chu never accepted them, no matter if they were made by himself. It was bought at a high price, and he didn't want anything given to him.

And this year's Christmas, Lin Chu was looking forward to the Christmas gift that Cheng Wanqiu had prepared for him. The two made an appointment to keep the gift secret, and exchange it at dinner time.

After dark, the Christmas tree in the corner lit up small lights, and on the coffee table in the living room was a sizzling roast chicken, a plate of dumplings, biscuits of various shapes and small fruit cream cakes.

Lin Chu couldn't wait to take out a small black box from behind him, while Cheng Wanqiu took out a long and thin white box.

"Let me guess first." Lin Chu stared at the long box in his hand, "...necklace?"

Cheng Wanqiu looked at the box in his hand, "Wallet?"

The next second, the two smiled and looked at each other, and said in unison, "You guessed it."

The Christmas gift that Cheng Wanqiu prepared for Lin Chu was indeed a necklace. The pendant of the necklace was a silver maple leaf. Lin Chu liked it very much. Holding the necklace, Cheng Wanqiu asked Cheng Wanqiu to put it on.

After putting it on, Cheng Wanqiu took out another pair from his black turtleneck sweater, which was very similar to Lin Chu's, but his was a silver peach.

The gift that Lin Chu prepared for Cheng Wanqiu was a wallet, which seemed to be a commemorative item. Cheng Wanqiu took out his old wallet and moved the cards, cash and the photo in it, and the old wallet that was replaced was taken by Lin I snatched it away and used it.

The Christmas tree in the corner of the living room was still left there after Christmas, and it was not rolled up by Cheng Wanqiu until more than ten days later and put in a box and put away in the cabinet until next Christmas.

Lin Chu's pastry making skills are getting better and better. Now he can make a lot of pastries, and he can also make some difficult lotus flower cakes.

Although they didn't go out to set up stalls so diligently after winter, Lin Chu didn't forget to continue to improve their skills at home, and strive to make Cheng Wanqiu the proprietress as soon as possible.

The Spring Festival is approaching quietly in a leisurely and busy life, and the old lady who is as stubborn as a rock is not a rock after all. On the eve of New Year's Eve, she asked Cheng Wanqiu and Lin Chu to have a reunion dinner through Cheng Qinqin's mouth.

Lin Chu was very nervous, so he made several boxes of pastries overnight, and also made a box of bunny-shaped snacks for Xinxin and Jingjing. On the morning of New Year's Eve, he took two big bags of New Year's gifts and took a taxi to Cheng Qinqin's house.

Along the way, Lin Chu was so nervous that his expression stiffened and his palms felt cold.

Cheng Wanqiu kept comforting him, "Since grandma told us to go, she should accept it. Her attitude may not be softened, but for the sake of Chinese New Year, she will still take a step back."

Lin Chu nodded, but his expression was still not relaxed.

The taxi stopped in front of the stationery store. This was Lin Chu's first visit to Cheng Qinqin's house, and it was also the first time he really went to have a reunion dinner.

Lin Chu's arrival made Uncle Cheng seem a bit cautious, but this honest middle-aged man still warmly welcomed them and gave Lin Chu a big red envelope.

Lin Chu also took out three red envelopes wrapped in advance to Cheng Qinqin's three children, including the eldest son he and Cheng Wanqiu met for the first time, nicknamed Kangkang.

Kangkang is almost as tall as Cheng Wanqiu, and will be a sophomore in the next year, with gold-rimmed eyes, gentle and delicate.

The three children were very curious about this beautiful male cousin, and their eyes would always fall on Lin Chu unconsciously, watching him shyly and embarrassedly hide beside Cheng Wanqiu.

Grandma Cheng didn't have a cold face, and the wrinkled face was full of wrinkles. She didn't treat Cheng Wanqiu and Lin Chu as nothing like before, but she was just willing to look at them with complicated eyes.

The New Year's Eve dinner in the evening was very sumptuous. Uncle Cheng specially bought a big round table for everyone to sit down. The cakes brought by Lin Chu were delicately placed on the plate and served on the table of the New Year's Eve dinner.

Xinxin chatterbox sits next to Cheng Wanqiu, and on the left is Grandma Cheng. Her small hands are busy picking up food for the people on both sides, and she sticks to Cheng Wanqiu and says that she wants to play fairy wands after dinner.

Cheng Wanqiu responded with a smile.

Even Grandma Cheng came out when the fireworks were set off at night. Uncle Cheng bought a large box of fireworks of all kinds. Cheng Wanqiu used a lighter to light a fairy stick for Xinxin. The little girl was wearing a red dress and was running and dancing. waving.

Lin Chu stood in the corner watching if they played or not, Cheng Wanqiu glanced at him, took out a box of new fairy wands from the box, walked to him, and gave him one.

Lin Chu looked at him with raised eyebrows, but didn't answer, "I'm not a child, let Xinxin play."

"Master Fairy Wand can also play."

Lin Chu had no choice but to take it, and asked Cheng Wanqiu to light it for him, a box of twelve, Cheng Wanqiu lit him one by one, until the last one went out, he suddenly leaned over and kissed Lin Chu Some cool lips, "Happy New Year."

Lin Chu was startled by his kiss, turned his head to look behind him, and was relieved to make sure that Grandma Cheng and the others hadn't noticed, "What if I'm seen?"

"It's okay, Xinxin calls you cousin."

Lin Chu was taken aback when he heard that, "When?"

"Just now, she secretly whispered in my ear that she gave a box of fairy sticks to my cousin."

Lin Chu stared blankly at Xinxin, who was dancing around Grandma Cheng. The little girl's red skirt flew in a beautiful arc with the dancing movements of the circle.

Lin Chu couldn't help feeling, "Xinxin is such a little angel."

Grandma Cheng's complexion is much better now than it was a few months ago, Xinxin obviously has a lot of credit for it.

They didn't spend the night at Cheng Qinqin's house. After the fireworks were set off, they proposed to go home when it was getting late. Xinxin hugged Cheng Wanqiu's thigh without saying a word, wanting them to stay with tears in her eyes.

Cheng Wanqiu hugged the little girl and coaxed her for a while before getting into the taxi home with Lin Chu.

After the car drove away, Lin Chu couldn't help but look back until he could no longer see the person standing in front of the stationery store. He stuck into Cheng Chengwan's arms, and said in a melancholy voice, "Time flies so fast, I don't know I don’t think New Year’s Eve will be over.”

"Well, let's go for an outing when spring comes."

"You want to play again, when spring comes, we will set up a stall to make money."

Cheng Wanqiu raised his arm around his shoulders and stroked his pink hair, "What is Boss Lin's goal?"

"Open the shop in three years."

"Why three years?"

"Because I want to play with the proprietress, otherwise I might open the store in a year if I get up early and stay late."

"So I seem to be holding you back."

"It's okay, you didn't dislike me. It may take three years for you to become the proprietress." Lin Chu pinched Cheng Wanqiu's chin with his ring-wearing left hand, and kissed the corner of Cheng Wanqiu's mouth affectionately, not paying attention to the driver in the driver's seat. ,"Happy New Year."

Time is like an endless river, it will never dry up, it will always flow thinly.

The houses in Taoyuan Village that were submerged by landslides were rebuilt more than a year later. They look better than the old old houses. There was nothing outside the bed.

Lin Chu went in, walked around twice, locked the house, and gave the key to Cheng Wanqiu.

In the spring of the next year, Lin Chu rented a small shop in the town with the money he earned from setting up a stall. Leaving a place allows people to enter the store.

On the day of the opening of the pastry in late autumn, Dong Ge sent a set of flower baskets to celebrate the opening. There are two cards on the pink roses. The one on the left says business is booming, and the one on the right says a hundred years of love.

Feeling ashamed, Lin Chu took back the card of Baihe Haonian, and couldn't help but call Shen Dong, "Are you a fool? Who sent the opening flower basket to say a hundred years of happiness?"

"Why? Whoever spends the money decides, I am willing!"

When Lin Chu and Shen Dong were arguing on the phone, the customers who had been supporting them since they were still setting up the stall rushed over after hearing the news.

In the small storefront, the spotless glass warming cabinets are filled with all kinds of exquisite pastries.

On the signboard of the small shop, the corner of the pastry in late autumn is still the big peach and the pink-haired Q-version villain on the original poster, and a few maple leaves will always surround the dozing Q-version Lin Chu, just like being by Lin Chu's side forever Cheng Wanqiu.

Liu Erjing and Wang Jinyuan came together to support and help out. On the road opposite the shop, Shen Dong, who had parked his car and came, was still arguing with Lin Chu about the congratulatory speech on the phone.

Some of the faces of the people waiting in line in front of the glass warming cabinet to buy pastries were very familiar, and they greeted Cheng Wanqiu with a familiar and natural attitude.Some faces are very unfamiliar, and they may just pass by and see them to join in the fun.

Taolin Town is full of people and traffic, this small shop called Wanqiu Pastry is so inconspicuous, and the young and beautiful boss is so undisciplined, his eyes always show two points of indifference, which is more refined than it. The gentle second boss seemed much closer.

As long as it is in business, no matter when you walk in front of that store, you can always hear a sentence, sometimes it is said by the pretty boss with pink hair, and sometimes it is said by the gentle second boss.

Their voices and tones are different, but they all have a kind of gentleness that has been precipitated, unhurried and unhurried, just like the name of the store.

"Welcome, Late Autumn Pastry."
