Shen Youchu wrote to her mother-in-law very early to tell her mother-in-law and A-Ning the date of the return ticket, so at about 8 o'clock in the evening, Chen Hansheng and Shen Youchu had just appeared on the mountain path, and a small figure ran over cheering.

"Sister, brother. ”

This is naturally Xiao Aning, she shouted while running, "creaking" on the snow, and immediately left rows of cute little footprints behind her.

"Slow down, don't fall. ”

This heavy snow should have just fallen, Shen Youchu was worried that A-Ning would slip, so he stepped forward and caught his sister steadily.

"Aning, grow up. ”

Shen Youchu picked up A Ning and found that although her sister was still thin, she was a little taller.

She was happy in her heart, but she was not good at expressing herself, but she still wanted to share it with Chen Hansheng.

"yes, let me give it a hug. ”

Chen Hansheng took Ah Ning from Shen Youchu's arms, he was worried that Shen Youchu had been on a journey for a day, and he was a little tired from holding Ah Ning.

"Brother!"

A-Ning shouted again, and the child's voice was crisp and clear, and it spread far and wide in this sparsely populated empty mountain field with no street lights and only the moon.

"Aang. ”

When Chen Hansheng hugged A Ning, his two hands suddenly loosened, and A Ning's small body slid down instantly.

"Ahh

Ah Ning let out an exclamation, but as soon as she slipped a little, Chen Hansheng immediately picked her up, and little Ah Ning knew that Ah Ge was playing a prank.

She couldn't help laughing again, and her little arms tightly wrapped around Chen Hansheng's neck, for fear that Brother Ah would leave her again.

The mother-in-law stood at the end of the path, quietly waiting for Shen Youchu, who seemed to be about the same as more than two years ago.

Time is in the mountains, and it seems to pass very slowly.

"Mother-in-law. ”

Shen Youchu grabbed her mother-in-law's arm.

The mother-in-law looked at Shen Youchu with cloudy eyes, the old people seemed to have a set of experience in judging whether their children were happy or not, Shen Youchu was undoubtedly happy now, the mother-in-law was a little relieved in her eyes, and grabbed Shen Youchu's palm tightly and tightly.

Back in the familiar small courtyard, Chen Hansheng took a few glances in the cool moonlight and found that it had obviously been cleaned up.

The farm implements were all grouped in the corners, and the firewood piles were sparsely scattered and only a few left, and they were empty everywhere, not as messy as they were in normal dwelling.

Judging from this point, the mother-in-law and A-Ning should also be ready to leave, maybe there are duffel bags in the hall.

A few people sat around the clay stove in the kitchen, and the flickering light of the fire seemed like a magic, reflecting the figure on the wall exaggeratedly.

Shen Youchu was preparing the next noodles for Chen Hansheng to eat, and was preparing the ingredients on the cutting board, while her mother-in-law was sitting on the stool, squinting her eyes as if she was asleep.

A-Ning was filling the firewood, asking Shen Youchu some weird questions from time to time, she lived in Jianye for two months during the summer vacation, and she still remembered the lively road.

Chen Hansheng sat for a while, always feeling as if something was missing, and then he reacted: "What about the dog and the big cat?"

"At the uncle's house. ”

A-Ning raised his head, and there was a flickering dim fire on his little face: "Mother-in-law said that after we leave, the dog will be placed in the eldest uncle's house first." ”

"Oh. ”

Chen Hansheng nodded regretfully, he was still going to bully the little earth dog.

"Brother want to see me, I can call it back. ”

Xiao Aning stuffed a piece of wood into the stove, immediately ran to the yard, and shouted loudly in one direction: "Dandan, Dandan······"

The countryside in the mountains is very quiet, and Xiao Aning's voice can almost cover the village.

Chen Hansheng couldn't believe it at first, until a sound of running came from far and near, and the familiar little earth dog soon appeared in front of him.

It also recognized Chen Hansheng, and circled around Chen Hansheng's feet as if it were happy.

"Brother, look. ”

Xiao Aning squatted down, slapped the dog's forehead with his little hand, and smiled very happily.

Chen Hansheng is also laughing, this is probably the legendary "communication basically depends on roaring, and public security basically depends on dogs".

However, when the dog was called back, the person was also called.

When Chen Hansheng was ravaging the little earth dog, the eldest uncle and his daughter and son-in-law pushed the door in.

At this time last year, the eldest uncle's daughter had just gotten married, Chen Hansheng was drunk at the wedding for the groom, and Wang Zibo also complained angrily that the bride was very beautiful and the groom was not matched.

"College brother. ”

The bridegroom called this non-trivial and very characteristic title.

The bride was shy and embarrassed to greet Chen Hansheng, but seeing that Shen Youchu was busy, she naturally rolled up her sleeves to help.

The women of this place seem to have some characteristics of traditional women.

Chen Hansheng took out the Chinese and threw it to the eldest uncle and the groom, and the eldest uncle saw that it was a beautiful cigarette again, he was reluctant to enjoy it, so he put it on his ear and kept it, took out the tobacco leaves and white paper and rolled them up and smoked.

The eldest uncle came to chat with his mother-in-law, and everyone in the village should know that his mother-in-law and A-Ning are going to the big city, so if the relatives want to see each other more, the chances may be reduced in the future.

It is not difficult to guess the groom's thoughts, he has been asking how the outside world is, especially when Chen Hansheng said that he is often stuck in traffic for several kilometers, the younger brother groom has a shocked look on his face.

When he used to go down the mountain to buy medicine, he had only seen a car once in a while, running on the ground on four wheels, and shuttling past him with a "hula", which was really a rare object.

But in a big city, how many kilometers can this thing be blocked?

"College Brother ······"

The groom, who was not yet 20 years old, was just about to speak, when the little earth dog, who had always been honest, suddenly stood up, bared his teeth and barked, and there was the sound of footsteps on the snow outside.

"Anyone?"

The uncle approached the door and immediately walked out of the kitchen to check.

Chen Hansheng thought to himself that in such a poor place, except for acquaintances, there could be no thieves.

He liked to watch the excitement and went out closely.

Standing at the gate of the firewood courtyard was the figure of a woman, quite tall, but she looked very thin, as if the wind could blow it away.

She was stopped by the eldest uncle's question, and her hands kept waving, as if she was justifying something.

As more and more people came out, the woman's voice became quieter and quieter, just lowering her head and stirring her fingers uneasily.

"Aning's mother. ”

Shen Youchu whispered and Chen Hansheng explained.

"Oh~"

Chen Hansheng suddenly realized.

A-Ning's father went out to work in the 90s, and he hasn't come back yet, and he hasn't been heard from since.

Let's think about the benefits, probably because I made a lot of money and forgot my relatives, but this possibility is almost 0, in fact, there are more accidents.

In those days, it was okay not to talk about it.

After a few years, my mother finally remarried, and of course it was not far away.

Chen Hansheng glanced at Xiao Aning and found that her little face was full of tears, but she didn't dare to make a sound, and sniffled one by one.

A-Ning has never wanted to go out of the mountain, but she is reluctant to remarry this mother.

Shen Youchu felt sorry for her sister, and held A-Ning in her arms and coaxed her, and the bride Shen Ruyi also helped wipe her tears.

Chen Hansheng was quite curious, walked a few steps closer and asked the eldest uncle, "What is she doing here?"

The little girl yelled just now, she thought that A-Ning was going to leave the mountain now, so she wanted to say goodbye quietly. Uncle Gong explained.

"Then just come in and take a look. ”

Chen Hansheng said with a smile: "What are you dodging, it's a little difficult to meet again in the future, talk to A-Ning tonight." ”

"Wait. ”

The loyal and simple uncle actually stopped: "Since she has remarried, A-Ning has nothing to do with her." ”

"What?"

Chen Hansheng was stunned and turned his head to look at his mother-in-law.

The old man was just standing at the kitchen door on crutches, and she didn't say a word, but her attitude was obvious.

"It's a traditional old man who is a bit harsh. ”

Chen Hansheng sighed, and many things were figured out in an instant.

Why did Shen Youchu eat, he always had to wait for Chen Hansheng to eat before he dared to put down his chopsticks;

Why did Shen Youchu buy fruits, she must choose Chen Hansheng's favorite first, she just picked a few at random;

Why does Shen Youchu buy clothes, she is very willing to Chen Hansheng and even Liang Meijuan, but when she buys clothes for herself, she will always look at the price first;

······

Shen Youchu only lived the three words "Chen Hansheng" in his life, and a big reason was the indoctrination and guidance of his mother-in-law.

However, it can't be said that her mother-in-law doesn't love Shen Youchu.

No matter how late Shen Youchu came home, her mother-in-law was always waiting with a candle;

Shen Youchu was beautiful, and her mother-in-law sternly told her not to raise her head outside the mountain;

The money that Shen Youchu sent home, in addition to A-Ning's school and expenses, her mother-in-law gathered little by little, and it will be left to Shen Youchu at that time.

There are some concepts, mother-in-law probably can't change it, so after A-Ning's mother remarried, she was already a real outsider in her mother-in-law's heart.

"That's right. ”

Chen Hansheng bowed slightly, turned on the mobile phone light, and impolitely took a look at Aning's mother.

The light was so strong that she quickly shielded it with her arms.

Chen Hansheng looked at it, in addition to being thin, she was probably very poor, her cotton jacket was thin, and she probably didn't stuff too much cotton, and her chin was about to be hidden in the placket, which showed that she had a deep sense of inferiority.

Especially, standing in front of my mother-in-law.

"We're all going to sleep, what are you doing here?"

Chen Hansheng shook the light of his mobile phone and said with a frown.

People like him will not try to change anything at all, such as shouting "mothers always have the right to see their children, you should not take them away", or "mother-in-law, you have to change this concept, women should have their own legal rights".

This is the practice of Douban literary and artistic young people, Chen Hansheng, he will only stand on the side with more people.

"Let's go, let's go, hurry back. ”

Chen Hansheng drove away loudly, but said intentionally or unintentionally: "We are on a plane at 3 o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow, and we have to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning and leave on time at 7 o'clock, otherwise we won't be able to catch up." ”

"You come to disturb our rest now, in case you can't leave on time at seven o'clock, Lao Tzu will definitely make your husband lose money!"

"Ahem, seven o'clock!"
