Winter is coming, and the weather in the north is unusually cold.

After the heavy snowfall, the silver is very enchanting. Between the red walls and black tiles, there were large patches of snow peeling off, which did not melt but fell from one place to another, slowly falling to the ground.

The snow in the north does not melt and does not decrease.

However, the house is always warm, and the warmth is transmitted from the radiator in the house, as if it is spring.

The sun was high, and the snow in the courtyard reflected a crystal luster.

In the courtyard of City B, the man who cooks and sells wine is rubbing his hands under the eaves, and he has to set up a stall later in such weather, so he can't help but be angry in the yard at this time. His footprints lead to Uncle Fu's house, and someone must have come to visit him.

But the man who cooked the wine then became a little confused, he had lived in the courtyard for so long and had never seen Uncle Fu and the leper have friends, let alone relatives or the like. In his eyes, their father and son have always depended on each other, so the best relationship with Uncle Fu is his own family and another old man who often plays chess with Uncle Fu.

So will it be the old man? The man guessed what was going on in his mind.

He thought about it, and suddenly a figure popped up in his mind, and that was Xiao Nan. Could it be him? The man didn't know why he suddenly came to his senses when he thought of Xiao Nan, just like after drinking every night. He hadn't seen Xiao Nan for a long time, and if it was really him, the man hesitated to say hello? But there are some concerns in my heart, I don't seem to be friends with Xiao Nan, and I can't talk to him, so even if I am polite, I can't say anything to him.

Thinking like this, the man began to hesitate again, and the expression on his face became very difficult to choose, as if he was facing a big matter.

The man's wife appeared at the door at this time, and she had just finished sending her children to school, and when she came back, she was still under the eaves, and suddenly she was dissatisfied, and then she was counted and blamed.

"Don't go out and set up a stall yet, when do you want to wait? Both of our mothers will be starved to death by you, do we want to live this winter? ”

The man smiled innocently, then looked at Uncle Fu's closed door and then said to his wife, "Go right away, go now, I'm not angry, where will it be good to make a living on such a cold day?" ”

"Let's go to the alley over there, there are a lot of people next to me."

"Okay, then I'll go over there today."

The man did not dare not listen to his wife, and after a moment he pushed the cart to leave footprints and ruts in the snow.

His wife looked at his back, walking with some difficulty in the snow, she didn't go to help, but she seemed to be hit by the snow, and suddenly covered her hands with her hands, and walked into the courtyard quickly.

The leper has been discharged from the hospital, and he walks with a limp, and I am afraid that he will be like this in the future. But where can I see this person in the courtyard, and I don't know where to fool around. After Uncle Fu and they came back, the courtyard was still quiet and not lively at all, and it seemed to be lifeless, perhaps because of this winter.

Winter nights come early, even after five o'clock when it is already dark, like a black cloth covering the sky overhead.

The winter night seems quieter and quieter.

The lights were on in the man's room, and the heat was boiling at the dinner table.

I don't know if it's because the business is really good today, but the man bought a roast chicken when he came back. This roast chicken is already a big meal for a family like them, the child is happy and greedy eating chicken legs, and the man is eating on the side, but he doesn't move his chopsticks.

The woman was a little unhappy.

"Aren't you wasting money? What to buy roast chicken is not to buy cabbage for a few more days, this roast chicken is also eaten for one or two meals. ”

The man smiled and said, "It's okay, I made a lot of money at the mouth of the alley today, and there are really a lot of people like you said, so you can eat well." ”

"How much money can you make a lot of money?"

The woman's tone was still cold, and there was blame.

The money is indeed not much, even if the man sells more wine, he only has a little money, and the man's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"Eat, eat, eat, don't be stunned, if you can't buy it back, it's a waste if you don't eat it."

The woman's tone changed, this is the roast chicken, if you want to retreat, you must not be able to go back, so you can only improve this meal.

The man laughed, very kindly.

After eating, the woman was washing the dishes and snorting as usual, and the man habitually poured himself a glass of wine as he listened. He only drinks alcohol after meals and does not eat vegetables.

"You said that this leper is really ignorant, he ran out every day not long after he was discharged from the hospital, he really healed the scar and forgot the pain, Uncle Fu is really pitiful, he gave birth to such a child. . . ."

"Who's to say it's not, but this leper is pitiful enough, don't talk about him."

"In the future, if my children want to be like lepers, then I will not live." The woman said, her eyes were on the child, who was burying her head and didn't know what the adults were talking about.

The man said a little unhappily, "My child is not the same as a leper, and I won't let him look like this." After the man finished speaking, he dipped a little wine on the wine glass and licked the taste, this glass of wine he could drink for a long time.

"But it's strange to say, someone from my uncle's house came today." The woman put down her work when she said this, and there was some confusion in her eyes.

The man then asked, "Who is it?" "What he wants to hear is Xiao Nan.

"An old man, like some kind of big man."

The man laughed, his wife had seen some big guy, and the one who wore a suit and tie was a big guy in her. However, when he heard that it was not Xiao Nan, the look in the man's eyes dimmed.

"That old man looks a little like Uncle Fu, maybe it's Uncle Fu's brother."

The man took another sip of wine and said with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense, where does Uncle Fu's family have any relatives in City B, I must be." ”

"Maybe, but my father seems to be very angry, and I don't know what's wrong."

Angry? The man frowned and didn't say anything.

After a few days, it was getting colder and colder.
