There has been no rain and no snow in the past year, but it has snowed heavily for two nights after the year, and Gao'an City is almost covered with white snow except for the two towers.

When the snow stops and the sun rises, the children who live at home first run out happily, build snowmen, have snowball fights, and are more likely to be held by their parents in various poses, leaving the beautiful scenery of the snow and blue sky for photos. Then there were more people shoveling snow, and there were more people who set up stalls.

......

Life is always without an eye, and the work in a state-owned enterprise that I wanted to enter when I broke my head has become a source of pain at this time, and they who were once proud will bow their heads from now on and do temporary workers who once disdained.

This is also the time when the large-scale emergence of street vendors occupying the road, and of course the chengguan is also coming.

The small alleys near the dormitory of the unit are full of stalls set up by laid-off workers, even on days when the weather is freezing and windy, even when it is rainy.

With a meager income, they struggle on the fringes of the city. Especially people who are already in their early 40s are more difficult to find employment, not skilled workers, regular employment and unemployment, hitting their already very fragile hearts, adults are difficult to find jobs, experienced the hard years of going to the mountains and going to the countryside, the confusion and panic of the years when they returned to the city, they married relatively late, ushered in another hardship in life, the parents are gray-haired, the children are young and helpless, and the time to spend money is increasing day by day, if it is not an only child, it is even worse.

......

The joy of the New Year has not yet dissipated, Wei Hong went home alone and saw his parents and several uncles sitting in the hall sighing.

"Hong'er, why did you come back alone?, Gangzi?" asked the mother, who didn't know her daughter's distress, strangely.

"He went out with a couple of his friends. Wei Hong said in a cover-up. The father in the back room snorted.

"Mom, uncle, what's the matter with them?" Although she knew something, Wei Hong still asked her mother.

"Alas, your uncle and aunt don't know who they have offended, they are all on the list of waiting posts, oh my God!

Wei Hong didn't know how to comfort her mother, she didn't know who to talk to about her bad things, and several uncles didn't care about her arrival, and still asked Wei Hong's father and their eldest brother for ideas.

Wei Hong walked into his original room, low, shabby and damp, almost unchanged in more than ten years.

Sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, Wei Hong, whose mind was in a mess, remembered Wu Yu she saw during the Chinese New Year, and thought of her disgusting husband, her nose was sore, and her eyes were instantly overflowing with tears.

I don't know how long I was stunned, but I faintly heard the shouts of my mother in the front room, wiped my tears, and walked to the hall with a promise.

"Where's the uncle?" Seeing that the father and several uncles in the hall were nowhere to be seen, Wei Hong asked casually.

"Someone, go out?" said Mom, and at the same time she snorted, "There is someone outside who says it is your classmate." ”

Wei Hong walked out of the door suspiciously, and there was a person standing by the narrow alleyway in front of the door, but it was Wu Yu.

"How did you find this?" asked Wei Hong, a little flustered.

"Why can't I come? What are you afraid of?" Wu Yu talked to the goddess in her heart alone, her heart throbbed, and after vaguely hearing some things about her during the New Year, she was angry and angry, and looked back and thought that in addition to not having that diploma and a decent job, what was worse than her husband?

"Is there anything wrong with me?" Wei Hong lowered his eyes, knowing in his heart the feelings of the old classmate in front of him.

"Can't I look for you if it's okay?" Wu Yuqiang said with a smile.

..............................................................................

The black water of the green river flows silently to the north, the snow on both sides of the river, the snow on the north bank of the dam has been melted by the sun into a gravel path, the red Xiali looks more striking against the white snow of the black river.

"Leave that bastard, I'll raise you. Wu Yu said with difficulty, Wei Hong, who was silently crying in the car, shook his head and said softly: "Fool." ”

"I'm a fool! Don't you know what I'm doing? I feel sorry to see you like this. Wu Yu suddenly said angrily.

"I know, but the person is my choice, the road is my way, no matter what, I have to grit my teeth and go on......," Wei Hong still shook his head and said.

"You ......" Wu Yu was angry for a while, and he didn't know how to speak. The two were silent.

......

"Wu Yu, send me back. Wei Hong calmed down his mood and said softly.

"Wei Hong......" Wu Yu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wei Hong: "You are still classmates, so don't say it." In the end, he choked up.

Wu Yu let out a long sigh and started the car and slowly drove north along the path of the dam. It's just that he didn't drive for long, Wei Hong felt that the car was suddenly stopped, and then saw Wu Yu jump out of the car and hurriedly ran to the dam.

Wei Hong opened the car door and walked to the side of the dam, where he saw Wu Yuzheng angrily kicking a pile of burning paper money, pointing at a person and scolding something.

Wei Hong rubbed her eyes that were reflected by the white snow, and saw that the person who was scolded was actually Qin Fan, and she was strange in her heart, and she went down to the bottom of the dam step by step, and heard Wu Yu scolding roaringly: "... People are not dead yet! What kind of paper did you burn it?"

Qin Fan looked at the violently jumping Wu Yu indifferently, and said lightly: "If the person is not found for a day, I will continue to burn this paper." ”

Wu Yu turned around when he heard this, and stepped on the unburned money: "I'll let you burn it! I'll let you burn it!"

Qin Fan couldn't help but shout: "Wu Yu, you are too much!"

"I'm going too far, what's the matter?" Wu Yu said.

"What are you arguing about?" Wei Hong's question came from behind the two.

"Nothing. Qin Fan and Wu Yu, who turned their heads, said in unison.

"Qin Fan, who are you paying tribute to?" Wei Hong asked curiously as he looked at the pile of paper that had been trampled on by Wu Yu.

"He's burning and playing. Wu Yu said first, and without waiting for Qin Fan to hesitate any longer, he pushed him up to the waist of the dam.

......

"Why are you two together?" Qin Fan, who was already sitting in the car, wondered when the two of them got together.

"We are classmates, why can't we be together?" Wu Yu asked rhetorically as he handed over a cigarette.

Seeing an ambiguous expression on Qin Fan's face, Wei Hong said shamefully: "Qin Fan, what are you thinking? I'm a man with a husband." But after finishing speaking, his expression darkened.

"Alas, you stupid girl, you really pretended not to see your people, and finally took the time to marry a ......" Qin Fan sighed.

"Don't say it!" Wei Hong couldn't stop crying sadly on the back of the car seat.

Qin Fan stopped Wu Yu: "Let her cry out and feel better." ”

......

Without Wei Hong's permission, Wu Yu made a round of phone calls, and then drove to a karaoke parlor in the city.

After a while, Zheng Huihui was the first to arrive, followed by seven or eight classmates including Tang Yi, Yao Wenxu, Li Jinjun, and Zhao Weidong.

"Don't get drunk tonight, don't go back without joy, let's make a good fuss and let all the sadness go to hell!" Qin Fan raised his wine glass and shouted loudly, the male classmates applauded, but the women asked Wei Hong in disbelief: What are they crazy about today? Wei Hong squeaked and didn't know what to say.

"Is this guy stimulated by something?" the big-mouthed Tang Yi guessed, "No, I'm going to call Xuemei." ”

After the wine was over, Qin Fan lay on the sofa in the box drunkenly, listening to their howls and closed his eyes a little unexpectedly.

When I opened my eyes again, I found that the classmates in the box were basically gone, and only Yao Wenxu was still silently sipping wine.

"Everyone is gone?" Qin Fan asked as he sat up.

"Well, what's wrong with you today? I've never seen you so out of shape, what's on your mind?" asked Yao Wenxu as he handed over half a glass of wine.

"It's a bit annoying. ”

"Is Zhao Xuemei too strict with you?" asked Yao Wenxu with a smile.

"Siege, you know. Qin Fan disguised.

"You are in the midst of blessings and don't know blessings, our classmates are optimistic about the two of you, don't let us down in the end. Yao Wenxu took a sip of wine and persuaded.

Qin Fan picked up the wine glass and touched it with him, then changed the topic and asked, "You still haven't returned to Shanghai?"

"Business in Shanghai is not doing well, I want to come back to open a factory to do machining, these days in the investigation of those suitable positions. Yao Wenxu explained.

"Well, it's good to come back, it's easier to do things with more acquaintances in my hometown. Qin Fan nodded and said.

............................................................................

When Yao Wenxu sent Qin Fan home, Xuemei, who had been waiting, had a dark face, smelling Qin Fan, who was full of alcohol, frowned and asked, "How much wine did you drink?"

"Not much. Qin Fan leaned against the wall and walked towards the bedroom.

"If you don't come back, your two precious girls won't sleep, saying that they will wait until you come back to tell them stories. Xuemei chattered while holding him.

As soon as they walked to the door of the bedroom, Ruoxin and Ruoling flew over like two chubby birds in cotton pajamas, one of them hugged one leg, and chirped: "Dad, why did you come back so late?" "If you don't come back, we will all fall asleep." ”

"Shhhhh Qin Fan reminded with a smile and whispered.

......

After washing away the smell of wine all over his body, telling the girl the story, coaxing them to sleep, and looking at his sleeping son again, Qin Fan tiptoed to climb into bed.

"Who are you going to burn paper for when you run to the river?" asked Xue Mei coldly in the dark.

"Wanqing!" Qin Fan replied in a muffled voice.

I thought that Qin Fan would make up some reason, but I didn't expect him to be direct, and Xuemei was speechless for a while.

Looking at Qin Fan, who was curled up beside him like a child, Xuemei stared at him with mixed feelings. Resist the urge to shake him awake......
