The morning sun penetrated the thin eyelids. Ye Jinxin frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
Huo Tingdong was sitting by the bed watching her. He saw her open her eyes, bend down and kiss her forehead.
Ye Jinxin narrowed around his neck and whispered, "Dad, is the sandwich ready?"
Huo Tingdong laughed. "You don't dream all night. Are you sandwiches?"
Ye Jinxin smacked his mouth and gave a sound.
Huo Tingdong shook his head, patted her on the shoulder and said, "get dressed. I may go away in a few days. Get up and I'll tell you about your life in the future."
"Go far?" Ye Jinxin asked vaguely, "go out for a few days?"
"A month."
"A month!" Ye Jinxin suddenly got up from him, and his eyes opened like a copper bell. "Where are you going?"
Huo Tingdong loosened her, turned to the wardrobe, took out her clothes and threw them at her hand. He casually said, "it's almost December. This year, your grandfather said he wanted me to go back to worship her ancestors."
Ye Jinxin frowned, "ancestor worship? Why haven't you heard of it before?"
"Your grandfather went back to his hometown this year. He saw that the ancestral grave was desolate and felt a little uncomfortable, so he wanted me to go back to his hometown with him and worship."
Ye Jinxin pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment and said, "can I go?"
Huo Tingdong blurted out, "no, ancestor worship can only be attended by the Huo family."
Ye Jinxin turned pale, smiled and said, "yes, I forgot. I'm not the Huo family."
Huo Tingdong saw her unhappiness, pinched her face and said, "your name is under my account book. What are you, not the Huo family?"
Ye Jinxin grabbed the down jacket collar and whispered, "then why can't I go?"
"It's not that I won't let you go," said Huo Tingdong in embarrassment. "It's too cold there. You can't stand it."
Ye Jinxin wrinkled his nose. "How cold can it be? It's also very cold here in song city. Don't I also stand it?"
Huo Tingdong sighed, "you haven't been in the northeast. I'm afraid you're frozen."
Ye Jinxin was stunned. "Northeast?"
Huo Tingdong said, "your grandfather's grandfather is from Northeast China."
Ye Jinxin was silent for a while, and then burst into bursts of laughter, "ha ha! Dad, you're from the northeast! I say, you're quite grounded sometimes!!"
Huo Tingdong looked at her suddenly changed smiling face silently, shook his head, walked to her and helped her dress.
Ye Jinxin is still reading excitedly.
"Dad, you are from Northeast China. Why can't you speak northeast dialect?"
"Ha ha, Dad, can you dance Yangko? Can you sing the Er Ren Zhuan?"
"Dad, is the pickled cabbage fish in your northeast delicious? Did you sleep on the earth Kang when you were a child?"
"OK, OK." Huo Tingdong interrupted her with a frown, picked up her sweater and coat and put it on her. "I haven't been in the Northeast since I was a child. My father was already the largest shareholder of Huo's when he was in his twenties. Your grandmother is a Chinese American. Speaking of it, I grew up in the United States."
Ye Jinxin regretfully sighed, "I'm from Northeast China. Why do you want to live in the United States? It's true."
Huo Tingdong tutted, "sounds like you feel very sorry?"
Ye Jinxin nodded fiercely. "Of course it's a pity! If you grow up in the northeast, you must be much more lovely than now!"
"I'm not cute now?"
Ye Jinxin looked up at his tight handsome face, thought for a while and said, "it's handsome now."
Huo Tingdong snorted and smiled, "you can talk... Raise your hand."
"Hey, hey." Ye Jinxin smiled obediently, raised his arm, asked him to help him put the sweater sleeve in, and then asked, "then you're gone. Where am I going?"
"At home."
"Just myself?"
"You have Aunt Liu."
Ye Jinxin groaned unhappily, "Aunt Liu can't stay here all the time."
"What about that?"
"Take me."
"No."
"Dad." Ye Jinxin shook his arm. "Take me. I'm not afraid of cold. If it's cold, just wear more."
"I said no!" Huo Tingdong tied her last button, took two steps back and said, "put on her warm pants."
Ye Jinxin's face sank. Unhappily, he opened the quilt, took the cotton trousers in his hand and put them on his legs.
Hum, it's cold in the northeast. I don't want to take her.
Don't you just think taking her is a drag, so you don't want her to follow? What a bad excuse! What a hypocrisy! Damn it!
In fact, Huo Tingdong didn't want her to go, not only because it was cold in the northeast, but also because of another worry.
Ancestor worship is to guard the grave. All the Huo family members who go to the ancestral mausoleum should kneel and watch the night at the ancestral mausoleum.
He couldn't stand letting her go to the northeast to be frozen, not to mention kneeling to watch the night. Wouldn't he be distressed to death.
Therefore, when Huo Mu asked him to take ye Jinxin, he refused.
Even if it will be very difficult for her not to have her for a month, it's better than worrying about her.
*************
After washing with a straight face, ye Jinxin didn't say a word to Huo Tingdong.
She was resentful, so the whole air pressure was low.
"Why not strawberry jam?"
Ye Jinxin frowned and looked at the strawberry jam bottle over the table.
Huo Tingdong sat down in a chair, spread the napkin cloth gracefully on his legs, and said casually.
"The strawberries in the fridge have been kept for two days. They are not fresh, so I didn't make them."
Ye Jinxin snorted and muttered unhappily, "but you said you were going to make strawberry jam last night."
Huo Tingdong tutted, took the fork, ordered the applesauce plate in front of her and said, "no strawberry jam, didn't you still make apples? What's the good news?"
"Can these two be the same?"
Ye Jinxin opened his chair and sat down heavily with a loud voice. He frowned and said, "I know I love strawberry jam best. As a result, I still made apples... If you don't really do it for me, don't do it."
