Although people eat together on New Year's Eve, we can still see the intimacy and estrangement from their conversation.

The obvious relationship between Wang Jianmin and Wu Ping'an is obviously better. It is often that you say the last sentence and I can take the next one. There is full tacit understanding.

The relationship between Li Hong and Xia Ruhua is only superficial peace. As for Lin Qinghua, he only talks to Xia Ruhua and doesn't maintain the superficial relationship with others. He is so cold that he is a little inhumane.

Obviously, he came to the so-called dinner not because the five of them came here together, but because Xia Ruhua.

During dinner, the five people can also say one or two scene words around the Chinese New Year. After dinner, the scene words are finished, and the atmosphere will be embarrassed in an instant.

Especially when facing Lin Qinghua's cold face, even Wang Jianmin and Wu Ping'an, who like to talk again, can't go on.

Fortunately, after dinner and dinner, Wang Jianmin and Wu Ping'an simply said that they had made an appointment with their friends in other brigades to watch the new year's Eve together and leave directly.

Wang Jianmin and Wu Ping'an have just left. Li Hong's object in the brigade is to take her to his house for the new year.

Li Hong had to clean up her grievances because she cooked the meal herself. However, Lin Qinghua's cold face made it difficult to speak, while Xia Ruhua seemed to speak. Her hand was darker than the bottom of the pot. She dared to be angry but dared not speak. Now her object came to pick her up and immediately went down the slope with a donkey.

After Li Hong left, the bustling room just now was silent, leaving only Xia Ruhua and Lin Qinghua.

In fact, the relationship between Xia Ruhua and Lin Qinghua is not as good as others think.

In addition to the first few exchanges when they came, they met and greeted each other. They said no more words in private than others.

However, probably because Lin Qinghua took the initiative to say that he was a friend of Wang Jianshe, Xia Ruhua always had an inexplicable sense of closeness to Lin Qinghua.

Now that Li Hong has left, she and Lin Qinghua are left in the house. Naturally, the task of cleaning the house falls on them.

Lin Qinghua is dressed in clean clothes, with slender fingers and distinct bony joints. On one hand, only the fingertips are covered with a thin cocoon. The rest of the hands are white and tender, which is no less than a woman's hand. This is the hand of a young man of a large family who doesn't touch the spring water.

But think about it. After Lin Qinghua went to the countryside, in addition to participating in labor on the first day, he was directly promoted as a technician the next day. Later, he became a cadre in the county. He ate in the canteen and his salary was distributed in the county. He really didn't touch the spring water.

Xia Ruhua said, "I'll clean it up."

Lin Qinghua didn't intend to clean up. When he heard Xia Ruhua take the initiative to clean up, he immediately leaned over and made way for Xia Ruhua to clean up quickly. If others saw this picture, he would be criticized.

When the desk is clean and the desk is ready, I sweep it back quickly.

The paper also exudes the unique smell of ink, coupled with those bony fingers, which is like a startling glance but amazing. Like landscape painting, people can't open their eyes.

Xia Ruhua raised her head. Lin Qinghua's peach blossom eyes looked at her, and her eyes were filled with emotions she couldn't understand. She saw that slightly thin lips moved, and her voice was cold like the north wind outside the house, which made people's bones cold, but what she said was like spring water, which warmed Xia Ruhua's heart.

"I think you've been reading recently. Take it."

There is a math problem written on the first page, which is the problem Xia Ruhua is studying recently, but has not solved. The solution ideas and answers of this problem are written in great detail on it, which is what Xia Ruhua lacks most now.

When dozing comes, send pillows. It's probably Lin Qinghua.

Xia Ruhua is not a pinch person. After thinking about it, she accepted the information sent by Lin Qinghua and sincerely thanked Lin Qinghua: "thank you."

Xia Ruhua is polite and alienated. She obviously wants to distance herself.

Lin Qinghua didn't like Xia Ruhua's appearance very much, which made him feel more uncomfortable than her vigilant appearance at the beginning. Lin Qinghua suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Xia Ruhua's arm and quickly let go when Xia Ruhua looked at it.

The drooping eyes bumped into Xia Ruhua's dumb eyes, opened his mouth, and his voice was very low. Inexplicably, he had a coquettish taste: "I heard that it will snow tomorrow. Would you like to go to see the snow with me?"

Most of the people in this period are more implicit. Even the words of confession are like chatting.

Lin Qinghua's phrase "watch the snow together" seems particularly implicit, but in this era, it's no different from saying clearly that I like you.

Xia Ruhua didn't say a few words to Lin Qinghua himself. Lin Qinghua suddenly told her she liked it. Xia Ruhua was startled. When she came back, she had already run to the house and closed the door.

Lin Qinghua

The next day is new year's day.

The custom here is to come to each other on the first day of the new year to celebrate the new year.

Educated youth don't have many acquaintances here, and they are not liked by people in the brigade, so they basically visit each other.

Li Hong is going to get married. Naturally, she visits her object's house. Xia Ruhua is the only one left in the house.

Wang Jianmin and Wu Ping'an didn't come back at all last night, so the scope of visiting narrowed down again, directly to Xia Ruhua and Lin Qinghua. What's more, the weather on the first day of the new year was very gloomy. At noon, the sky was full of snow flowers. In a moment, the village was decorated into a world of silver and plain.

The yard is spotless white, and outside is Lin Qinghua with a smiling face and gentle face.

Maybe the atmosphere is too romantic at the moment, or maybe it's because Lin Qinghua smiles too gently, or it's the first day of the new year, and there is only an acquaintance like Lin Qinghua around him. Inexplicably, Xia Ruhua has a feeling similar to heart.

It's like the heart suddenly being firmly gripped into the palm of her hand, or an electric current flowing down the blood to her limbs and bones, bringing a feeling of numbness and making her sentimental.

Xia Ruhua raised her eyelashes. The crow's black eyelashes trembled gently like feathers. After a long time, they were completely raised. Those clear eyes looked at Lin Qinghua with a gentle voice and a sense of strength that is difficult to ignore.

"Do you know where to see the snow? Is it the best?"

This sentence is a response to Lin Qinghua's words yesterday afternoon, and also a response to Lin Qinghua's feelings.

Lin Qinghua was stunned first and then reacted. When he realized what Xia Ruhua said, Lin Qinghua smiled instantly.

Like thousands of trees and pear blossoms in an instant, all kinds of tenderness are in the bottom of your eyes.
