porridge for two

2008 1 Month 15 Day.

All places in Qingzhou have been frozen for two days. The cars still running on the road have been replaced with heavy chains. The ground is shining brightly. Long ice crystals.The snow-white snow-white world is another kind of beauty, but it also brings a lot of inconvenience to everyone's life.

It is said that this once-in-a-hundred-year ice and snow freeze has swept through most of the southern regions, and Qingzhou is one of the most severe regions.Due to the impact of freezing, some places began to cut off power and water, traffic jams, civil aviation was grounded, highways were closed, and some railways were interrupted and delayed on a large scale. Xie Xiuping couldn't even buy a train ticket to go home.

Xie Xiuping's last exam ended on the 11th, and the official school holiday was on January 1th. The students in his class went home after the exam early. Zhoushi stayed until today.That's great, he can't even go home.

In the dormitory, Su Zeyu sat on the table, and Xie Xiuping picked up the landline to call home.

"Smoke! It's freezing! Is everything okay in the house? The road is closed, and there are so many people taking the train, I can't get a ticket! I'll go to my classmate to borrow a room first. I'll come back when I get the ticket." .”

"Let's go!" After making the phone call, Xie Xiuping took the things he needed to bring and called Su Zeyu.

"Why don't you get a mobile phone more convenient? PHS can be set up for a few hundred yuan now, and the phone bill will be refunded every month." Su Zeyu suggested as he followed Xie Xiuping out of the dormitory.

"I have no one to contact! If you want to find me, you can find it in your dormitory or the National Day, and you will be there on weekends!" Xie Xiuping feels that the phone is not necessary for him, and he has to pay for it every month. Phone bills and monthly fees are not necessary.

"Then you went back, why should I find you?" Su Zeyu asked.

"Use my uncle's phone to call you!" Xie Xiuping looked at him, smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm going crazy during Chinese New Year, remember to call me?"

"Well, I don't care about you!" Su Zeyu knew that Xie Xiuping wanted to save money to buy a computer. He was always thrifty and had his own plans, so Su Zeyu couldn't say too much.

……

After walking for a while, when he was about to reach the school gate, Su Zeyu suddenly said to Xie Xiuping who was walking beside him: "Do you know where the postcard of Lamei I gave you was taken?"

"Ah? Is that wintersweet? The small park in front of the school seems to have it." Xie Xiuping recalled the postcard, and thought of the small park in front of the school where the botany teacher took them to recognize the plants.

"It was filmed there!" Su Zeyu looked at Xie Xiuping and said.

"Then let's go and have a look!" Xie Xiuping pushed Su Zeyu's arm.

……

There is a rockery on the open grass by the lake, and several branches protrude from the crevices of the rock. There are some finger-length ice crystals hanging on the branches, and some yellow flowers are covered with a layer of ice. When you look closely, you can find that the stamens are all condensed. Like small amber, crystal clear.

"This is really looking for plums through the snow!" Xie Xiuping and Su Zeyu stepped on the frozen grass, and there was a "creaking" sound.The two walked to the plum blossoms and looked at them carefully for a while, Xie Xiuping sighed.

"Look, no one walks on that road, it's completely frozen, it's ready for skating! I haven't skated for a long time!" Xie Xiuping suddenly pointed to a long gentle slope road beside the lake, and shouted excitedly.

"Try it?" Su Zeyu asked with a smile.

"It will be so embarrassing to fall down later!" Looking at the thick ice on the road, Xie Xiuping felt his butt hurt.But he is not afraid of pain, but afraid of falling and being embarrassed.

"This day, it's normal to fall! No one thought you slipped and fell!" Su Zeyu said.

"I can't go on skating! In the past, when we were skating in winter, we had to cut bamboo and roast it to make it look like a simple sled. The sole of this shoe has a lot of friction, so I'm afraid it won't go down!" Xie Xiuping looked at his shoes , estimated.

"Try it, I'll hold the things, and I'll pick you up below! I'm afraid you won't be able to stop, so I went straight to the lake!" Su Zeyu saw Xie Xiuping's hesitation but eagerness in his heart, and patted Xie Xiuping on the shoulder. encouraged to say.

Su Zeyu walked down the grass with his things, while Xie Xiuping walked up the grass.

"Be a human mat, you!" Xie Xiuping said to Su Zeyu while walking up.

"Believe in yourself!"

"I do not believe you!"

"Then take it easy!"

"Here I am!" Xie Xiuping stood at the highest point of the gentle slope, adjusted his position, squatted halfway, and lowered his center of gravity, so that even if he fell, it would not be too serious.On such a cold day, he didn't want to slip into a frozen lake and take a cold shower.

"Come on!" Su Zeyu put the things on the ground beside him, and opened his arms towards Xie Xiuping.

Everything went well, and Xie Xiuping also found the feeling of playing in the snow with Lao Diao when he was a child.At that time, he was timid and didn't dare to slip, but the old lady encouraged him all the time, stood below to pick him up, and wouldn't let him fall.He himself wouldn't fall, but he would deliberately throw the old woman down in the snow, grab two handfuls of snow and sprinkle it on the old woman's head, and laugh "giggle".

Xie Xiuping moved his left and right feet forward and backward, the slope became steeper and his center of gravity became lower and lower.Seeing how easy he was skating, Su Zeyu relaxed too, just standing there like a spectator.

Near the bottom, Xie Xiuping stood up suddenly, the center of gravity changed, the slope became steeper and faster, and the speed became faster and faster, still shouting: "Ah! Ah! Ah..."

Su Zeyu heard the sound and saw that something was wrong, so he quickly stood firm and opened his hands to catch it.Due to the momentum, Su Zeyu took a few steps back to stabilize his body, and hugged Xie Xiuping's waist tightly with both hands, which were still trembling.Xie Xiuping leaned on his shoulder.

"You did it on purpose! You skated well, why did you stand up all of a sudden!"

Su Zeyu pushed Xie Xiuping up and took a look at his surroundings. One meter behind him was the icy cold lake, and there were some stones on the left and right sides.He thought that Xie Xiuping would be sensible, and if something happened to him, he would be able to fix it. He suddenly regretted encouraging Xie Xiuping to go skating.He was a little angry, this joke was a bit too much.

"I've come here very leisurely, otherwise you'd have flown into the water!" Xie Xiuping patted his shoulders to comfort his nervousness.

"My heart was hacked by you!" Su Zeyu took Xie Xiuping's hand and put it on his chest, his heart was beating hard, it was nervous.

"Okay! Alright! I'm sensible! I can't help being black at all!" Xie Xiuping said, retracting her hand, and went to grab something that was placed beside her.

"Don't insult me ​​again, I have a heart attack, so I can't help but insult!" Xie Xiuping walked in front, and Su Zeyu walked behind.Su Zeyu felt that he had to say something, otherwise, if Xie Xiuping gave him such a stimulus every other day, he would really fall ill.

"I'm sorry!" Xie Xiuping stopped suddenly, and looked back at Su Zeyu, his eyes were a little red, and his voice was a little choked up: "I just had fun! Miss me! I used to hate him too!"

"Okay! Okay! Don't say anything, just enjoy yourself! Just enjoy yourself!" Su Zeyu took Xie Xiuping's shoulders, and was also thinking about whether his tone just now was a bit too much.

Su Zeyu suddenly didn't know how to comfort him. Xie Xiuping had never mentioned his parents to him, and this was the first time he mentioned his father.
