Chapter 5    Floating Snow (4)

This beam has been completely formed.

Tong Xin was resentful and sent a text message to Tong Sinian: "I will never go to the community to send warmth."

An hour later, Tong Sinian sent her a bunch of red envelopes:

[Buy candy]

[Buy milk]

[Buy skirts]

[Booking hairpins]

The last one: [Sister Be good].

Tong Xin was very arrogant and did not open these red envelopes to show her anger that she was called "Tong Ziwei" today.

During dinner, the pot of fish soup made by Xin Yan was very popular. Tong Chengwang served a bowl of cold on the side, "Hey, I'll drink it later."

"Sinian works overtime again?"

Tong Chengwang glanced at the bedroom, "I feel like I haven't seen him for a long time."

"You still remember having such a son."

Xin Yan left a dish for Tong Sinian, "I said I would not return until I was eight o'clock."

"Xinxin, did you go to the community event today?"

Xin Yan asked.

"Um."

Tong Xin took a big mouthful of rice, "I went for my brother and took photos for others."

"It just so happened that I met Aunt Hu on the road and asked me to send her the photo."

"I remember."

Tong Chengwang asked casually: "Which household did you go to today to give you warmth?

Where is Grandma Wang?"

"no."

Tong Xin replied in a crisp voice: "It's that new neighbor."

Tong Chengwang paused, "Which new neighbor?"

“Bad young people.”

Tong Xin blurted out.

"Qinsheng."

Xin Yan reminded at the right time, "Don't evaluate others like this."

Tong Xin squinted the corner of her mouth, "Oh."

——That’s what I think from the bottom of my heart.

"Put warmth to Xiao Huo next door?"

Tong Chengwang asked in confusion: "He still needs to give warmth?"

Tong Xin seemed to find a point of venting hatred and said in a nutshell: "He is very miserable, very poor, his parents died early, and there is also an unknown sister."

"But I asked you Uncle Xiaoqiang," Tong Chengwang said incrediblely: "His house is not for rent, but for sale.

Sold to Xiao Huo.”

Tong Xin was speechless.

Tong Chengwang recalled the incident and immediately confirmed, "Yes, he told me for a long time. The price was good, and the buyer was also ready to pay it out in one go."

Tong Xin almost couldn't hold the chopsticks.

Buy a house?

Or full payment?

Then he was embarrassed to ask for those two boxes of local eggs!

Tong Xin counts the tags on his new neighbor: Brother Social, a tattooed man, loves to complain, is thick-skinned, and lies.

He should be very desperate, too.

Xin Yan was surprised, “Did you buy it?

Xiao Huo looks very young, what job does he do?"

"duck."

Tong Xin suddenly spoke.

The dining table was quiet and parents looked at her.

After realizing it, Tong Xinzhen didn't mean it. She pointed to the far away bowl, "Mom, I want to eat this duck."

At nine o'clock in the evening, the wind outside became colder again.

The weather forecast says that rain and snow will be sleet at night, and a new round of cold wave is coming.

Tong Sinian called home and said that the department could not leave and would not come back tonight.

Tong Xin was a little disappointed. She looked forward to it all night and wanted to tell her brother in person how the new neighbor bullied people.

The wind slapped the windows, and the raindrops as big as beans were like a layer of smoothies, making a sound.

Tong Xin was writing the last test paper, but was unable to concentrate because of the changing movements.

She looked up at the window several times, then put down her pen, found two umbrellas from the cabinet, and walked out with slight hands.

There are basically no people outside at this point.

The temperature was colder than expected. Tong Xin was stunned by the cold wind coming from his head, so he closed his coat and accelerated his pace.

Go to the west of the community, the last place of a row of big sycamore trees. Because the place is off, the property management is neglected to take care of it, and the open space outside the wall is waiting for construction and renovation, which becomes a "no man's land".

There were some waste materials on the ground. The road was slippery when it rained. Tong Xin had a very difficult time walking and was paying attention to it.

When she raised her head, a black figure suddenly stood there three meters away, scaring her heart to pound and almost screaming.

Too dark, I can't see who it is.

Until he took the initiative to speak out: "Why do you always see me like a beast?"

The voice was too familiar, Tong Xin couldn't believe it, "It's you?"

Huo Liming walked two steps closer, his face full of rain, and his expression was not visible.

Tong Xin blurted out and corrected: "It's not a wild beast."

"Um?"

"It's a monster."

“…”

Soon, Tong Xin asked vigilantly: "What are you doing here?"

Huo Liming found it ridiculous: "If you can come, I can't come?"

After a few seconds of opposition, Tong Xin thought about it more and more wrong, and he subconsciously ran forward.

All the anxiety and worries were written on his face. Tong Xin moved the covered foam board away and saw that there were many puppies, and finally felt relieved.

"Afraid that I will eat dog meat?"

“It’s not impossible.”

He said so, but Tong Xin still felt guilty about misunderstanding him.

"I won't eat dog meat."

Huo Liming's voice was like the sound of rain, "So cute, I can die by sitting alone."

Tong Xin: “…”

Huo Liming yelled, "You are just two foam boards, these dogs will freeze to death within an hour."

After speaking, he started to work hard, holding an umbrella in one hand and moving the iron plate beside the wall with the other.

The iron plate is a bit heavy and the rain is getting heavier.

Huo Liming looked back at her, "Come here, help your neighbor hold an umbrella."

Tong Xin came to his senses and said "Oh".

The height difference between the two was a bit huge. Tong Xin stood on tiptoe, not enough, and even reached the highest point to barely cover Huo Liming's head.

Huo Liming did things neatly, used iron plates to surround the doghouse into a square shape, covered it with a top, and carefully left a seam for them to breathe.
