Time passed like water, and in the blink of an eye, it was winter again. Winter in the northeast was very cold, and the air was very dry. At this moment, it was snowing heavily in Bear Ridge. The snow was white, and the trees were covered with a thick layer of snow. Snow kept falling from the sky. Yu Tian curled up beside the brazier, wrapped in a blanket, and held a cup of hot water in his hand. He was bored and watched TV.
The temperature outside was at least-30 degrees Celsius. Even though he had spiritual energy protecting his body, he still felt a little cold and had to start a fire to keep warm.
It was almost the end of the year. The New Year was the most important festival in China. People who had been busy working outside for a year wanted to go back and reunite with their families for the New Year. As a result, there was a traffic jam and it was difficult to buy tickets. Some things about the Spring Festival were being shown on TV.
"Ring, ring, ring…"
Yu Tian was watching TV in boredom when his phone suddenly rang.
Because the phone was far away from the brazier, Yu Tian was too lazy to move. In this cold weather, leaving the fire for even a second was torture. Anyway, no one called him. Most of them called the wrong number.
However, the phone kept ringing without any annoyance. The unpleasant ringtone made Yu Tian extremely annoyed, so he had no choice but to leave the brazier to answer the phone.
"Who is it?" Yu Tian said unhappily.
"Qiang Zi, is that you?" A kind voice came from the other end of the phone.
Hearing this voice, Yu Tian knew who the other party was. Bald Qiang was his mother. Qiangzi was Bald Qiang's nickname. Only his mother would call him that.
"Mom…it's me." Yu Tian called her mom awkwardly because he was an orphan in his previous life and had never called her mom before.
Qiang Zi, how's work now? You kept saying that you were busy with work, so Mom didn't dare to call you.”Bald Qiang's mother's voice was filled with deep concern for Bald Qiang.
Bald Qiang remembered this as well. In order not to let his parents worry about him, Bald Qiang lied to his parents that he had found a good job that could earn a lot of money and eat and drink well every day. It was just that he was busy with work and could not keep in touch.
"Work…work! Work is fine, don't worry." Yu Tian tried his best to make himself look more convincing.
"Oh, that's good. Mom called you today to ask if you're coming back this year for the new year.”Bald Qiang's mother's tone was filled with anticipation.
"Ah? Go back?" Yu Tian didn't know how to answer. He wasn't really Bald Qiang. His personality was very different. What if he went back and exposed himself?
"What's wrong? Aren't you planning to come back? If you're busy with work, you don't have to come back. It's fine as long as Mom can talk to you on the phone.”Although the voice on the other end of the phone tried to hide her disappointment, Yu Tian could still hear that it contained a mother's deep longing for her son.
Perhaps he was moved by this mother and did not want Bald Qiang's mother to be disappointed. He could not help but blurt out,"Yes, how can I not go back for the New Year!" Mom, just wrap the dumplings and wait for me to go back to eat!”
"Sigh! It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Mom will definitely make dumplings for you to eat. I'll make your favorite chives.”Bald Qiang's mother's voice was filled with excitement.
Then, Yu Tian started chatting with Bald Qiang's mother. Yu Tian also tried his best to play the role of a good son.
However, for some reason, as they talked, the topic of a girlfriend came up. Bald Qiang's mother asked," Qiang Zi, you're not young anymore. Do you have a girlfriend?" If you have it, bring it back for the New Year! Your dad and I have been waiting for a grandchild!”
Sweat! Girlfriend? It was one thing for Bald Qiang to be short and short, but most importantly, he was a lumberjack who stayed in the deep mountains and forests all day. What kind of girlfriend would he have? He had a bunch of animals.
But Yu Tian couldn't say that! So he could only say,"Mom, don't worry. I already have a girlfriend. I can bring her back in four or five years."”Yu Tian used his delaying tactic, delaying as much as he could.
"That long? Qiang Zi, you're 26 this year. I thought I could bring you back this year.”Bald Qiang's mother said worriedly.
"Mom, you don't know now, but it's popular to get married later. A lot of people are still unmarried in their thirties! Besides, my career is on the rise now. I'm so busy every day. How can I have time to talk about a girlfriend?”Yu Tian continued to bluff. There were still more than 30 million bachelors in China. If they were not married by the age of 30 and had no money, they would basically be single in this generation.
After ending the conversation with Bald Qiang's mother, Yu Tian actually had some expectations for going home for the New Year. In the past, he was alone for the New Year. This time, he could be with his parents and feel a sense of home.
Yu Tian hurriedly flipped through the calendar. There was still a week before New Year's Eve. He was really alone in the deep mountains and forests. He had even forgotten the date. There was only day and night. However, there was still enough time to go back. It would only take a day and a night by train.
However, he didn't know how much the train ticket would cost or whether it could be bought. During the Spring Festival, the price of the train ticket would increase by several times.
Yu Tian suddenly walked to a wooden board in the middle of the room and knocked on it with his finger. Then, he scratched a square dent on it. Then, he used a knife to open the wooden board above. There was a small space under the wooden board. A pair of black cloth shoes that emitted a strong smell of salted fish lay quietly inside.
Seeing this pair of cloth shoes, Yu Tian smiled slightly. The place where the bald man hid the money was really hidden. If it was not through his memory, no one would know that he hid the money here.
Yu Tian took out his shoes. These shoes had not been washed for a long time and were dirty. He took out a pair of socks that were originally white but had been worn black. He endured the thick smell of salted fish and took out a few hundred yuan bills from each of the socks.
Yu Tian counted the money. It was a total of 1,000 yuan. This was Bald Qiang's private savings. He had always been reluctant to use it. Today, it just happened to come in handy. It was enough to buy a ticket.
They were preparing to set off tomorrow. The closer it was to the New Year, the harder it was to buy tickets and the more expensive it was. It was better to set off early.
Thinking of this, Yu Tian went to find Xiong Da and Xiong Er and asked them to drive him out of the mountain. The two bears had already learned how to drive.
Yu Tian left the house. As soon as he opened the door, an extremely cold wind blew in his face. The cold wind was mixed with some snowflakes, like knives cutting his face. Yu Tian, who was originally a southerner, was extremely uncomfortable.
As the wind blew, the thick layer of snow on the roof suddenly fell and hit Yu Tian's head. Suddenly, a cold feeling spread throughout his body.
"F * ck, it's really cold!" Yu Tian's teeth were chattering. He pushed away the snow on his face and circulated the cultivation in his body to resist the cold. Only then did he feel better.
The world was covered in white. The originally emerald green trees had also become snow-white. The birds had all flown to the south for the winter. They were no longer as lively as before, but they appeared very peaceful and peaceful.
Yu Tian stepped on the thick snow, making creaking sounds. When he arrived at Xiong Da and Xiong Er's tree hole, the animals were preparing for the New Year and building a stage for the New Year.
" Oh, my handsome avatar is finally done.”The buggy was carving an ice sculpture of itself.
Meanwhile, Jiji was commanding the other animals to do their work while he sat there enjoying the food. Jiao and the little monkey Mao Mao were by his side.
However, because of a mistake made by Bear Two, the ice sculpture that buggy had worked so hard to complete was broken. The two of them were quarreling.
"Bear Two, what's wrong with you! It actually shattered the avatar that I had spent so much effort to complete.”The buggy was exasperated.
"Aiya! I'm a bear, bears need to hibernate. Now that you're asking me to work, of course I'm not energetic!”Bear Two rubbed his eyes, looking very sleepy.
"What are you two arguing about? Hurry up and get to work. The stage for the new year hasn't been completed yet!”Jiji pointed at Big Buggy Bear and shouted.
