The dilapidated bricks and tiles, as well as the rotten doors and windows, are all places she is familiar with. This is obviously the old grandmother's home. Why did Wei Xiao appear here?

Dou Xiaoye looked around, his eyes fell on the face of the person in front of him, and he asked again: "Why are you here?"

If I remember correctly, the surname of this family does not seem to be Wei.

After the joke, Wei Xiao restrained her face and said, "I grew up in this place when I was young."

"Then grandma and your family..."

"Not our relatives, but former neighbors."

"Neighbor?"

"That's right." Wei Xiao nodded his chin at the collapsed earthen house next door, his eyes clouded with mist, "That's where I lived with my grandma before I was ten years old."

No one has cleaned it all year round, the soil is full of grass, and there are a few small yellow wild flowers dancing stubbornly in the cold wind.

bleak.

Dou Xiaoye shrank his neck, looked away, and said, "So, are you coming back this time to look at the house, or are you here specifically for the New Year?"

"Just come back and take a look." Wei Xiao stroked her hair that was blown by the wind, "I didn't expect this grandma to still live here. Seeing her alone, my dad and I want to help her have a decent New Year's Eve." .”

"Your father is back too?"

"I'm chatting with grandma inside." Wei Xiao compared her fingers and looked at the things in her hands, "Grandma also said that Erya would come to give her something later, and I guessed it was you."

When the name Erya was mentioned, Wei Xiao smiled maliciously.

Dou Xiaoye rubbed his nose and said, "My mother made some bacon and rice dumplings, and asked me to send them to these old grandparents."

"Xiao Ye is really a kind and caring girl." Wei Xiao said softly, "I will accompany you in."

"You don't post Spring Festival couplets anymore?"

"I'll post it later."

There was no heating or air conditioning here, and the cold wind came in through the holes in the wall, blowing away the smog that filled the room.In the dark room, the gray-haired old man was sitting on a straw woven by himself to keep warm by the stove, chatting about some old things.

When they entered, Wei Jianrong was using mud to plug the hole in the wall. The door was pushed open and the wind came in, making the old man shiver.Wei Jianrong's back felt chilly, thinking that the wind had blown the door open, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Wei Xiao and a pretty girl walking in.The little girl looked familiar no matter how she looked at it, and he recognized it immediately: "This is the daughter of Dou Limin's family...Xiaoye?"

Before Dou Xiaoye had time to say hello, she heard someone calling her name, she was stunned, and said with a sweet smile, "Hello grandma, hello uncle, happy new year."

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year." Wei Jianrong couldn't move his hand, and looked at her from across a brazier, "I have been friends with your father for 50 years, and I hugged you when you were born, and you have grown so big in a blink of an eye."

Except for the time when Wei Xiaogang had an accident, Dou's parents and Dou's mother chatted a few words about Wei Xiao's parents. Dou Xiaoye had no impression of Wei Jianrong, so she could only smile politely and change the subject: "Before Zongzi came, I Mom just cooked it and it’s still hot, do you want to eat some now?”

Wei Jianrong: "Leave it to grandma, I'm not hungry."

Dou Xiaoye helped the grandmother peel a zongzi, the old man only had two teeth left, but the zongzi was so crispy that it melted in the mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

Dou Xiaoye asked the old man several times before he heard it. His eyes were narrowed into a slit, his mouth was pursed and he nodded, and when he smiled, cloudy tears flowed from his eyes.Both Dou Xiaoye and Wei Xiao were taken aback by this scene.

"Thank you." The old man said inarticulately, "Thank you for remembering me as an old woman."

Dou Xiaoye looked sad, and his eyes turned red.A hand fell on her shoulder, and she looked up abruptly.

Wei Xiao whispered to her, "Hold it, she won't be able to stop you crying even more."

"..." The tears in Dou Xiaoye's eyes were forced back like this. She avoided Wei Xiao's gaze, and then remembered to ask her, "Do you want to eat?"

Wei Xiao shook his head.

Wei Jianrong comforted the old man, saw that Wei Xiao was still holding Spring Festival couplets in his hand, and said, "Didn't you say that the paste is not sticky? Take glutinous rice, this sticks better than paste."

Wei Xiao recalled the scene of posting Spring Festival couplets with her grandma when she was a child. At that time, it seemed that glutinous rice was used.She picked up the zong leaves that fell on the ground and asked Dou Xiaoye, "Do you want to post Spring Festival couplets with me?"

"Okay." Anyway, there is nothing else to wait.

The wooden door was covered with dust, so Dou Xiaoye tore off the old Spring Festival couplets first, and then swept the dust away with a broom.Wei Xiao was in charge of pasting the Spring Festival couplets dipped in glutinous rice.

Seeing her unskilled movements, Dou Xiaoye asked, "You also bought these Spring Festival couplets?"

The old lady has bad eyesight and rarely goes out, so she probably won't go to the street to buy these things.

"Yeah." Finally put it on the side, Wei Xiao patted the ashes on his hands, "I just came back here and my dad was startled, the house collapsed, and I saw that grandma was alone at home, so I knew that grandpa left last year. I think She didn't have any New Year's goods at home, so she went to the supermarket to buy these things."

The Spring Festival couplets that Wei Xiao bought were golden, and when they pasted them on the broken wooden door, they immediately felt like they were flourishing.

Dou Xiaoye smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"I passed by your wonton restaurant, but it didn't open."

"It will only open after the sixth day of the lunar new year. If you want to eat wontons, you can come to my house."

"Really?" Wei Xiao's eyes lit up.

"of course it's true."

Wei Xiao looked at her without speaking for a long time.

"what happened?"

Wei Xiao took a step forward, calmly helped her block the wind, looked down at the tip of her nose that was blown red by the cold wind, and asked softly, "Isn't it just a commonplace?"

Dou Xiaoye didn't expect her to ask such a question, she blinked and said, "It's not polite, we are friends, isn't it normal to invite friends to your home?"

Wei Xiao frowned, and repeated her words: "Are we friends?"

Dou Xiaoye said that sentence completely subconsciously, and when she asked her back like this, he hesitated for a moment, and stopped talking unnaturally.

Is it too self-indulgent?

Wei Xiao laughed happily and said, "Yes, you saved my life, we are friends now."

Dou Xiaoye's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at her nervously: "If you see my parents, can you stop telling them that I saved you?"

"Why didn't you mention it?"

"Because..." There was no one around here, but Dou Xiaoye lowered his voice as if he was afraid of being heard by others, "They didn't allow me to go into the water, and I will definitely talk about it when I find out. I don't want them to worry."

"I understand. I don't want my dad to worry, and I haven't told him so far." Wei Xiao didn't think deeply, and whispered like her, "This is a secret between the two of us, and no one is allowed to tell it."

"what?"

"Pull the hook." Wei Xiao said solemnly, "Whoever says it out is a puppy, and punish her to bark like a puppy."

"..." This is a trick played by children, right?Although she was a little childish, Dou Xiaoye saw her serious expression, thought for a while and said, "After that, you are not allowed to mention it again."

"can."

"Don't ask me those inexplicable questions again."

"OK."

Dou Xiaoye secretly breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his hand.As soon as the two people hooked their fingers together, Wei Xiao smiled "puchi" and said, "Xiaoye, your hands are so cute, they look like children's."

"...No one with such a joke."

"It's a boast."

"..."

After pulling the Gogou, continue to paste the Spring Festival couplets. After pasting both sides, there are still horizontal couplets left.It's just that the lintel of this old house is too high, and Wei Xiao, who is close to 1.8 meters, can't reach it.

"I'll get you a stool." Dou Xiaoye ran inside after speaking.After looking for it for about 5 minutes, she came out with a moldy broken chair, with a frustrated expression on her face, "This is the only one in Grandma's house."

Wei Xiao's eyes widened: "Is this chair strong?"

"do not know."

"Let me try."

Wei Xiao supported the door frame and stood up, only to hear a "click", and the chair shattered in half under her feet.Fortunately, she reacted in time and jumped down, patted her chest with lingering fear, and said mockingly: "It seems that I have to lose weight."

"..." Of course Dou Xiaoye knew that it wasn't because of her weight. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a few cement bricks piled up not far away, and said happily, "Wait a minute, I'll move the bricks."

Wei Xiao stopped her.

"Don't worry, I can move."

She can easily pick up a person who weighs over a hundred catties. Wei Xiao naturally didn't doubt her strength, but those bricks had been placed for some time, and they were dusty from the sun and rain, so he frowned: "It's so dirty, don't move it. "

"Isn't the cross-link posted?"

"It still needs to be posted. In fact, there is another way."

"any solution?"

The color of Wei Xiao's eyeshadow today is very nice, making her eyes shine with a moving light. She looked at Dou Xiaoye softly, and said word by word: "I'll hold you, you stick it."

"Uh..." Dou Xiaoye's expression froze.

The light began to fade.

Wei Xiao smiled lonely, pretending to be indifferent, spread his hands, and said, "If you don't want to, forget it, I'll think of another way."

The method Wei Xiao proposed is very good, but Dou Xiaoye didn't think of it for a while.It's not a bad thing to hug and post a Spring Festival couplet. As for hypocrisy?

Dou Xiaoye quickly convinced himself: "That's fine."

The corners of Wei Xiao's lips raised slightly, and his eyes moved down: "I have to hug your waist, aren't you ticklish?"

"Don't be afraid." Dou Xiaoye raised his hands, "Come on!"

"..." She was so calm, but Wei Xiao was at a loss for what to do. After a moment of silence, she handed the Spring Festival couplets to her, wrapped her arms around her waist, and lifted them up vigorously.

"No, my hands are too short, and I'm still close."

Wei Xiao had no choice but to put her down and hug her thigh instead.This time it was finally posted.

"Okay, let me down. Ah—" Wei Xiao's body shook suddenly, and Dou Xiaoye was so frightened that he instinctively hugged her head and closed his eyes.

"..."

After waiting for a few seconds, there was no expected pain. Hearing a chuckle, Dou Xiaoye suddenly opened his eyes, lowered his head, and met Wei Xiaoman with a playful look. She still hadn't figured out what was going on.

"You are much lighter than I thought."

"Then you just..."

"Just kidding. Scared?"

"..."

"I'm sorry, I just thought that scene just now was very interesting."

"What's interesting?"

"You are too light, such a small one, talking in a baby voice on top of my head, I feel like I am hugging a daughter."

"........." I couldn't chat happily anymore.

Wei Xiao came back this time entirely on her own. Last time she came to see Mi Jie in the Model Rising Star Contest, she passed by a small fishing village and went in for a walk. Seeing the new look here, it actually brought back many good memories of her childhood. .After falling into the water and being rescued, she visited many old people in the streets and alleys to inquire about the monster on the bottom of the sea, but she never came here.

Taking the opportunity of Chinese New Year, Wei Xiao wanted to come back to see the place where he used to live, thinking that it had long been a barren land, but he didn't expect that there were still people living there.

Of course, she couldn't deny that part of the reason for insisting on coming back was because she wanted to see Dou Xiaoye.After all, they haven't seen each other for two months.

"I have to make an announcement tomorrow, and I'm going back to City A tonight." Wei Xiao said regretfully.

Dou Xiaoye was stunned: "You are so busy."

Wei Xiao showed helplessness and asked her: "Your vacation should be very long, right?"

"Well, almost two months."

"Don't want to go out to play?"

"Where to go?"

Wei Xiao is going to fly to Switzerland next week. He originally wanted to tease her and ask her if she wanted to go with him, but she was afraid of scaring her, so she changed her mind and said, "Don't want to go out with your classmates and friends?"

Without thinking about it, Dou Xiaoye shook his head and said, "I'd better stay at home and help my parents."

"Continue to sell wontons?"

"Ok!"

"..." Wei Xiao stared at her almost transparent white face for a long time, then sighed, "Why are you so obedient? Just like when you were a child."

It's a pity that Dou Xiaoye couldn't remember all the memories about Wei Xiao and Wei Xiao when she was a child, so she laughed it off.

Wei Xiao was slightly absent-minded looking at her smile.

The girl's face was so clean that there was no trace of impurity, and her innocent smile seemed to be ignorant of the world. Such a life with aura was so inconsistent with everything here, she didn't look like a native of this place.Dou Xiaoye, she is like an elf bred by nature, from bone to skin, every pore exudes an unusual breath.

Seeing this face, everyone probably guessed that her parents must also be unusual, but after meeting Dou's parents and Dou's mother, Wei Xiao realized that she was wrong.

There is no similarity between Dou Xiaoye and Dou's father and mother!

Dou Limin is indeed as Wei Jianrong said, dark and thin, honest and honest.Dou's mother is white and fat, but Dou Xiaoye is obviously whiter than her by many times.

At that time, after visiting the grandmother, Wei Xiao and Wei Jianrong were about to go back. Wei Xiao drove Dou Xiaoye home by the way. The car just stopped at the door of Dou's house. Dou's father who came back from the elder brother's house took a casual look and saw Dou Xiaoye coming from inside. When he came out, he was slightly taken aback.

"Limin!"

Father Dou followed the prestige and saw a head protruding from the lowered car window. It was the man who called him. He didn't recognize who it was for a long time: "You are?"

"I'm Wei Jianrong!"

"...Wei Jianrong!"

The old friends reunited again, and the mood was so exciting.

After Wei Jianrong got out of the car and exchanged a ritual of bumping his chest and hugging with Father Dou, he said, "Boy, you are in good spirits!"

Father Dou: "You bastard, haven't you been back for more than ten years?"

Wei Jianrong: "It's been almost 15 years, I didn't expect my hometown to change so much."

Father Dou: "Others say that you have raised a good daughter, and that your daughter is famous and promising, and you are enjoying the blessings in city A, so you don't know you will come back."

"What are you talking about!" Wei Jianrong patted him heavily on the shoulder, turned around, and pointed at Wei Xiao who was standing beside the car, "That's my daughter."

Wei Xiao greeted him with a full smile on his face: "Happy New Year Uncle Dou, I'm Wei Xiao."

"Wei Xiao! Who doesn't know about big stars, I often see your commercials on TV."

"Actually, I'm not a big star..." Wei Xiao felt a little embarrassed, "You can just call me Xiaowei or Xiaoxiao."

"That's right, why are you being polite?" Wei Jianrong said.

After the introduction of other people's daughter, Father Dou pointed at Dou Xiaoye: "This is my daughter Xiaoye."

"We've met each other a long time ago." Wei Jianrong said with a smile, "Li Min, your daughter is getting more and more limpid as she grows, like a fairy girl."

Don't mention how happy Dou Limin was when his daughter was praised, and said without any humility: "This is our family's treasure."

Mother Dou, who heard the commotion, also came out. Seeing Wei Xiao's father and daughter, she reacted more than Father Dou. Several people stood at the door of the house and chatted like a vegetable market.

In the end, Dou Xiaoye saw that Wei Xiao seemed to be trembling, so he had to interrupt his parents: "Mom and Dad, let's talk in the house."

"Come, come, the house is a bit rough, don't mind." Mother Dou warmly welcomed the guests in.

I haven't seen each other for more than ten years, and I have a lot of things to say in my heart. Regardless of the customs, Father Dou insisted on keeping Wei Xiao and his daughter and said that he would treat them to a meal before leaving.

Mother Dou started to prepare lunch. Dou Xiaoye took out melon and fruit snacks to entertain the guests, and sat next to Wei Xiao to watch the two fathers chat.

There are ready-made ingredients at home for Chinese New Year. The chicken is killed in the morning, and there are all kinds of bacon and fresh meat in the refrigerator. Mama Dou handles it neatly.

Two hours later, when dinner was served, Dou Limin took out the rice wine he brewed and said, "Jianrong, you must drink two glasses with me today."

Wei Jianrong was also happy: "Don't talk about two drinks, I won't go home if I'm not drunk today!"

Knowing that Wei Xiao was thinking about wontons, Dou Xiaoye specially asked Mama Dou to cook some. Wei Xiao couldn't finish it all by herself, so Dou Xiaoye shared half of it for her.

Mama Dou: "I packed a lot of ready-made ones and put them in the refrigerator, including wonton dumplings, and bacon dumplings. I'll decorate them for you when I go back."

Wei Xiao said with a smile: "Auntie, you are too polite. My dad and I came empty-handed, so why bother to take things back for nothing?"

"We're still embarrassed, your dad just stuffed Xiao Ye with a big red envelope, what do you say?" Dou's mother also wanted to make a red envelope to return the gift, but Wei Jianrong refused to accept it desperately.

Wei Jianrong waved his hand and said, "It's all my own people, so don't count so clearly."

Dou's parents and Dou's mother looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Limin, why do I think your house is a bit cramped? Two sets of sofas, two refrigerators, two water dispensers... What do you do with so much furniture?"

"We didn't buy it, it was given by someone else."

"Sent?"

"Oh, I get a headache when I talk about it." Dad Dou ate a peanut and recalled, "Several large trucks came suddenly a few months ago, and they insisted on delivering a truckload of drinks and these furniture to our house. , Said it was sent by someone."

Wei Jianrong listened with gusto: "Is there such a good thing?"

"I don't know who sent it for nothing, and I don't feel at ease." Father Dou frowned, "The battle was scary at that time, everyone came to watch, and some people joked that some rich man fell in love with our Xiao Ye and gave the dowry. Do you think it's strange?"

"What if it's really a dowry gift?" Wei Jianrong said half-jokingly.

"But after so long, I haven't seen anyone come to propose marriage!" Dad Dou said more and more worried, and drank the wine in the glass.

When the two fathers were discussing this matter, Dou Xiaoye and Wei Xiao made eye contact that only the two of them could understand.

Dou Xiaoye wanted to say to her: "Look, it's all your fault, give me something for nothing."

Wei Xiao smiled meaningfully.

After chatting for a long time, the two fathers began to focus on their two daughters.Wei Jianrong drank a little bit, stared at Dou Xiaoye, and asked with a smile: "Xiaoye is 20 years old, does he have a boyfriend?"

Dou Xiaoye shook his head with a reserved smile.

Dou Limin: "The child is still young, there is no rush to fall in love."

Wei Jianrong: "There must be many boys chasing after Xiaoye grows up like this. In the future, people who want to give dowry to your family may have to queue up. Your house is not enough for decoration."

Dou Xiaoye was blushed by the two adults.

Seeing this, Dou Limin quickly shifted his target: "Xiaoxiao should be pursued by many people, right? Big stars, the people who chase her must be rich people."

Wei Xiao was calm and said, "Uncle Dou, you have misunderstood. In fact, there are very few people chasing me."

"No way?" Dou's parents and Dou's mother said in unison.

"It's hard for a female model to find a boyfriend." Wei Xiao smiled wryly.

Mama Dou seemed to understand something: "Yes, you are already this tall, and if you wear high heels, there will be fewer boys taller than you."

"Don't you dislike men?" Wei Jianrong interjected.

As soon as these words came out, everyone else at the dinner table was stunned.Although the law allows same-sex marriage, and society generally recognizes it, in reality, many homosexuals are very low-key, like Wei Jianrong who takes the initiative to help his daughter come out in front of outsiders... This wave of operations caught people off guard.

Mother Dou laughed dryly to break the embarrassment, and said: "Xiaoxiao is so capable, anyway, she doesn't need to rely on a man, it's not bad to find a gentle and lovely wife to live with."

"I think so too." Wei Jianrong drank a few more sips of wine happily, "I used to always worry that my daughter would not belong to me alone after she married, but now I'm fine, I married a wife, and I have another daughter. "

Since the other party is so open-minded, there shouldn't be anything we can't talk about. Mother Dou asked again: "Does Xiaoxiao have a girlfriend?"

"Not yet, Auntie." Wei Xiao smiled, not at all pretentious, "But there is a girl I like, and I am chasing her."

Mother Dou: "What kind of girl is worthy of you, Xiaoxiao?"

"She is a very good girl, kind, warm-hearted, and simple." When Wei Xiao said this, his face seemed to be shining, and his tone was as gentle as water, and everyone around him could feel the love in his eyes.

It's just that Dou Xiaoye couldn't understand, why Wei Xiao glanced at her when he said it?Does she resemble that girl?

Who would that be?

Mi Jie fits the characteristics described by Wei Xiao quite well.But if it was Mi Jie, why did Wei Xiao's studio come forward to clarify after being exposed by the media?

Apart from Mi Jie, Dou Xiaoye couldn't think of anyone else. After all, she only knew Shen Qingqing, Mi Jie and Yan Yun who had a good relationship with Wei Xiao.Anyway, she couldn't have imagined that the person Wei Xiao described was herself.
