Not far away, Fu Xiaojian, who was holding Xiao Huan, looked at the bonfire in the courtyard, excited, and said: "This group of little cubs is really good at playing, Xiao Huan, you wait, I will also show my hand, and I will never let you lose face." ”

Zhao Xiaohuan, who was wearing long pigtails and had a delicate face, turned his body shyly, let go of his hand, and instructed: "You can be more full, there are a lot of people, and it will be embarrassing if you don't have enough to eat." ”

Xing Youyou saw Zhao Xiaohuan appear, and hurriedly went up and shouted sweetly: "Aunt, aunt." ”

Xing Youqian heard it, and shouted loudly, which made her face even redder, and quickly covered her face.

"Don't bully your aunt! I'd better protect myself. Fu Xiaojian grinned and took her hand again and walked towards the kitchen, but his eyes secretly blinked at the two siblings, and the other hand gave them a thumbs up.

"Second brother, do you like this aunt?" Xing Youyou asked.

Xing Youqian: "I like it, what about you, little sister?"

"I like it too. ”

On the cold winter night, the grass and trees are frosted, the cold air comes out from the surface wantonly, and there is a cold everywhere, most of the people in Graphite Village have returned to their houses after dark, and only a few families with better conditions still come out from time to time to set off a firecracker to celebrate the arrival of the New Year. And Xing Youyou was unwilling to pass the New Year so quietly and quietly, only to see a big bonfire in front of the thatched hut in Qingfeng Valley, a little far away from the village, where laughter and laughter, men, women and children around the fire indulged wantonly, the roast rabbit and roasted fish on the fire had already been served on the stone table, and Fu Xiaojian, who showed his skills in the kitchen, also stewed out with a large plate of Northeast characteristics.

"Come on, let's try Xiao Huan's hometown food. Fu Xiaojian said with a smile, Xiao Huan next to him patted him on the back and bowed his head shyly.

Xing Youqian squinted with a smile, swallowed his saliva, and said, "There are a lot of delicious foods today, I want to eat three bowls of rice." ”

Wang Qin touched his head and said, "Tonight is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, don't you want to eat three bowls of rice, otherwise Teacher Wang won't let you go down." ”

Peng Fang looked at Principal Jiang, saw that a smile also appeared on her face, and said to her, "Teacher, you also have to eat more, see how thin you have lost during this time." As he spoke, he gave her a pair of chopsticks.

On the bonfire, Xing Youyou looked at Principal Jiang, she had really lost a lot of weight, her clothes were loose and loose on her, not close at all, her face was haggard, and her gray hair seemed to be a lot more. For Principal Jiang, Xing Youyou is respectful and grateful in her heart, respecting her for bringing more knowledge, hope and change to the children in this small village, and for her help to her family and the teachings of her brothers when she couldn't open the pot at home. Seeing that she hadn't seen her for a few months, she had aged so much, and she felt a little distressed, so she looked at her and said, "Grandma Jiang~"

Zhang Xiaochuan wanted to say something, opened his mouth, but never said anything, only heard Xing Youqian and Xing Youliang say in unison: "Teacher Jiang, are you okay?"

Jiang smiled gently, looked at the children in front of him, and said: "It's okay, the teacher is fine, it's a little sad every winter, it's over after a while, you can come back occasionally to see my old wife, I'm very happy." ”

Wang Qin put a piece of rabbit meat into Jiang's bowl, and said to his wife Peng Fang: "Xiaofang, tomorrow is the first day of the new year, there will be an open-air movie in the town, you can take the teacher to see it, and you can relax." ”

Peng Fang nodded, and Fu Xiaojian, who was eating with a mouth full of oil, listened to it and asked, "What is the movie?"

Wang Qin: "This movie is the story screen released by the machine. ”

Fu Xiaojian listened attentively, his hands were not empty, and he responded excitedly: "Storyteller, then I'll go too, Xiao Huan, I'll take you there." ”

Jiang Shi smiled and waved his hand, and said, "I won't go, the weather is cold, and if you don't pay attention, you will be prone to asthma, won't it cause trouble for you then, or you young people." ”

After the meal, before Principal Jiang left, he pulled Xing Youliang aside and said, "Youliang, Ono asked me to bring you some New Year's gifts and put them in your room." ”

Hearing her talk about the field, Xing Youliang realized that he hadn't heard from him for a long time, and hurriedly asked, "Tianye, is he with his father?"

Jiang sighed and said, "That kid is stubborn and has suffered a little, but it's no big deal, don't worry about him, you, take your brothers and sisters, you will always see you again in the future, it's just that Ono is this child, alas,"

Xing Youyou saw that Principal Jiang's already gloomy cheeks were even more sad, and he wanted to speak, so he only sighed and stopped talking, and saw that his eldest brother seemed to want to ask about the current situation of the field again, so he grabbed his hand and stopped him. Xing Youliang turned his head to look at his little sister, and took his younger siblings to send Jiang home.

When everyone left, Xing Youqian felt that the house was too quiet, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it, so he hurriedly asked, "Big brother, have you seen your uncle?" ”

"Quiet? As long as you and your uncle are in the house, how quiet can it be? ”

Xing Youyou thought about the dog-legged appearance of his uncle when he escorted Sister Xiao Huan out, and immediately changed his face to an aunt's smile, and gossiped, "Our uncle, is it about a bubble girl?"

Xing Youqianqi said: "Bubble girl, this day is not good, you will get sick if you soak in water." ”

Faced with the second brother's strange explanation, Xing Youyou opened his mouth, but he didn't say it again, now he is not suitable for that age, and it is not too late to instill in him in a few years.

Xing Youyou thought about this, the expression on her face had changed several times, Xing Youliang nodded at her little brain when she saw this, and laughed: "What are you thinking about this little brain?"

Xing Youyou rubbed his face, looked at Xing Youliang's still slightly childish eyes weirdly, which were already flashing with wisdom, and replied in embarrassment: "It's nothing, just thinking about Uncle Daqing and them, if only they were there." ”

"Really?"

"Uh-huh"

Xing Youliang pretended not to see her dodging eyes, and asked again, "Why didn't you let me continue to ask just now?"

Xing Youyou paused for a moment, then he understood the problem of Xing Youliang, cleared his throat, held his small hands behind his back, held his little belly, and paced and said: " Alas, big brother, you are so stupid, for the current Grandma Jiang, our village primary school and Brother Tian Ye in Graphite Village can be said to be her most precious things, but seeing her today is much more haggard than last time, and she has a lot more gray hair, but everything in the village is good, and only Brother Tianye's things can make her like this, and Brother Tianye's father's house is complicated, even if you ask clearly, what can you do for Brother Tianye? It will only make Grandma Jiang even more sad and sad. ”
