When An Ning went to school, she put a few small yellow croakers in her school bag.

When she arrived at the school, she hurried to find Xiao Yuan.

She took the little yellow croaker to Xiao Yuan: "If I say that I will not be allowed to go to the provincial capital, you will find a way to go to the provincial capital and exchange these for money." ”

Xiao Yuan put his things away: "Okay, it just so happens that I also need to go out for a walk, and I'll go and get things done on Sunday." ”

An Ning was relieved when he gave the things to Xiao Yuan.

She went back to the classroom and talked and laughed with a few of her classmates.

On Sunday, Xiao Yuan persuaded Xiao Heizi and took some money to go to the provincial capital.

An Ning also followed Secretary An and Xiangling to the provincial capital.

An Ning carried a bag when she went, and she also had something in it, and she wanted to see if she could find a chance to act alone.

When he arrived in the provincial capital, Secretary An first took his two daughters to dinner, and then went to the bookstore to buy books.

Most of the books An Ning picked this time were books on physics and mechanics, and of course there were some foreign language books.

She bought the book and came out of the bookstore, just past a shop that repaired household appliances, and An Ning went in to read it for a while.

Secretary An didn't understand why she went in.

An Ning smiled and said, "I look very interesting, Mom, can you buy me some parts and tools or something, I also want to make something myself." ”

Secretary An is an open-minded person, and he almost responds to Anning's requests: "Okay, go back and buy it for you." ”

It turned out that Secretary An planned to take An Ning and Xiangling to play in the provincial capital for a day and return to the county seat after dark.

As a result, it was no coincidence, after noon, it snowed heavily in the sky, and after a while, there was a white expanse everywhere.

You can't go in this kind of weather.

Secretary An went to call Zhang Heping and asked him to ask An Ning for leave.

After the phone call, the three mothers had to find a place to stay.

When he simply came, Secretary An brought money, and in addition, there is a cotton spinning factory in the provincial capital, which is a system with the county seat, and Secretary An also knows the people in the cotton spinning factory here.

The cotton mill is a large factory, because of business needs, there is also a guest house on the side, and the conditions are very good.

Secretary An found people from the cotton mill here and opened a room in the guest house.

She asked for a large room with three beds and a bathroom.

It was very cold outside, and there was heating in the guest house, so I felt a burst of warmth when I went in.

An Ning took off the cotton clothes she was wearing outside, and threw herself directly on the bed: "I'm tired, I have to sleep quickly." ”

Secretary An was also tired, so he also picked a bed to lie down.

Xiangling was not tired, she saw that Secretary An and An Ning were asleep, and it was boring to stay in the room alone, so she took some money and prepared to go out and go around.

Xiangling had never been to the provincial capital earlier.

She hadn't even been to the county seat much, and she was particularly curious to go to the provincial capital.

In addition, she also wanted to see where there was food nearby, where there were restaurants, and she would wake up peacefully to eat after a while, and she wanted to inquire in advance.

Xiangling came out of the guest house and walked around.

There is a wholesale market not far from here, and there are several restaurants, some selling dumplings, some selling noodles, and another specializing in haggis soup or something, and there is also a Sichuan restaurant.

Xiangling was a little hungry, so she bought a baked cake to eat, and wanted to go to the wholesale market.

She turned the corner from the restaurant on the side and walked a short distance to the wholesale market.

The leeward of the turn here is slightly warmer than elsewhere.

Xiangling turned a corner, and after walking a few steps, she saw a tall and strong man with a board head and a big cotton jacket squatting in the leeward place to nibble on steamed buns.

The steamed bun in his hand looked at the **, and he didn't know how many days it had been placed, anyway, there was no heat at all, and when he bit into his mouth, he might be able to hold his teeth.

The man doesn't dislike it, and he gnaws quite vigorously.

Xiangling took a look, then turned around and went to the restaurant to buy another hot baked cake, the one she bought this time also had meat in it, which was much more expensive than the one she ate before.

Xiangling asked the boss to wrap the baked cakes in paper, and walked to the man with them.

"Big brother, this is for you to eat, don't eat cold steamed buns on a snowy day, be careful to eat bad stomach. ”

Xiangling smiled and handed over the baked cakes.

The baked cake was just baked, hot to the touch, with pork belly in it, smelling fragrant.

The man was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Xiangling: "Big sister, thank you, I have money, I'll give you money." ”

Xiangling waved her hand: "You eat, it's not easy to go out, don't stay here when you're full, this snow can't stop for a while, you can't stand staying here, if you don't go to the bus station and train station, you won't be able to freeze there." ”

The man nodded, "I see." ”

He took the cake and took a bite: "Big sister, you are from Y County." ”

Xiangling smiled: "Yes, so is the eldest brother, as soon as you hear the accent, you can hear it, where is the eldest brother from." ”

The man said, "Crescent Bay." ”

"It's a good place. Xiangling smiled and nodded: "Big brother, you eat first, and after eating, quickly find a place to stay, but don't be here." ”

After she finished speaking, she waved her hand to the man and walked towards the wholesale market.

The man looked at Xiangling's back for a long time.

He lowered his head and nibbled on the baked cakes, such a snowy day, even if he squatted on the ground, it was not cold, but at this time the man felt less cold.

Xiangling bought a lot of things at the wholesale market.

When she finished shopping and went back, Secretary An had already woken up, and An Ning had also woken up.

The three of them cleaned up and found a place to eat.

It snowed overnight, and the next day there was a thick layer of snow on the road, and there were already cleaners clearing the snow from the road.

I still couldn't go back that day, so Secretary An took the two girls to go shopping for another day, took them to a department store, watched a movie, and went to eat a foreign fast food.

On Tuesday, the snow on the road was almost clear, and the three of them took the car back to the county seat.

Getting on the bus, Xiangling saw the man again.

He was still wearing that big padded jacket, and he looked even more depressed than the day before yesterday.

Xiangling pulled An Ning to sit closer to the man, and the man also saw her coming, and smiled at Xiangling: "What a coincidence." ”

"Is Big Brother coming home?" asked Xiangling.

The man promised: "I want to go home, and the eldest sister will also go back." ”

The two of them said a few words, and there was a flash of sugar gourd seller outside the car window, and the man opened the window and called the sugar gourd seller: "Come on two strings of sugar gourds." ”

He handed the money out, took the two strings of red sugar gourds, and gave both strings to Xiangling: "Here, take it and eat it." ”

Xiangling waved her hand: "No need, no need." ”

The man smiled: "I didn't shirk you when you baked cakes for me, but now I won't be happy to invite you and your daughter to eat sugar gourds." ”

Xiangling hurriedly took it: "Big brother, this is my sister-in-law." ”

The man glanced at An Ning: "It's your sister, your sister is quite young." ”

He didn't say anything else, and the way back after that was quite quiet.

When he arrived at the county seat, Secretary An asked Xiangling what was going on.

Xiangling told me what happened the day before yesterday.

Secretary An said: "It's a good thing that you are kind-hearted, but don't talk to people casually in the future, there are many bad people outside, you have to pay more attention." ”

Xiangling nodded: "Well, I also watched the people coming and going in that place, so I said a few words to him." ”

Xiangling knew it in her heart, so Secretary An didn't tell her more.

The three of them stayed outside for the past two days, even if the environment of the guest house was very good, but it was not comfortable, and when I went home, I really wanted to stick to the bed and not get up.

The three women in the family were lying in the house and didn't like to move, Zhang Heping got off work, so he had to go into the kitchen to cook, and by the way, he served his wife and daughter.
