Wu Xiaojun was a little confused when he heard this, everything was fine just now, how could it have changed in a blink of an eye, could it be that the old man was troubled by thinking about the real thing, seeing that Bai Lingyan felt awkward, he asked cautiously, "Dad, how can you say this for the New Year?" ”

"None of you and Xiaosen make me feel relieved, and going there makes people feel uneasy!" Wu Pingshun sighed, stood up from the ground, and walked home with his head bowed behind his back.

Wu Xiaojun didn't know what was going on, he followed closely behind, and he didn't dare to ask more, when he arrived at home, he saw the old man lying directly on the bed, without saying a word, he was very puzzled, called Bai Lingyan outside the door, and asked quietly, "What's wrong with the old man?" ”

"You two got up and went out, he came back alone in advance, and he didn't say anything, he sat and watched TV for a while, the phone rang, and when I was about to answer, he picked up the phone, and it sounded like it was from Chunyan's sister-in-law, I didn't ask much! And then he went out! As for what they said, and what happened in their hometown, I don't know! Bai Lingyan briefly explained the situation just now.

Wu Xiaojun understood now, it must be the third brother who did something at home, Chunyan's sister-in-law was not happy, and told the old man the truth, the old man was excited about thinking about the truth, and he wouldn't be in such a bad mood, he nodded and said, "I thought you made him angry, I'll call Chunyan!" After that, I went back to the house and picked up the phone and called.

Yesterday Wu Xiaosen was on duty in the hospital for a day, when he returned home it was nearly eight o'clock, Zhu Chunyan had already prepared the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, as soon as he arrived home and put the whip, the three of them happily ate dinner, and had not eaten a few bites, Qiu Wanquan, a colleague who lived next door, came over and asked Wu Xiaosen to go to his house to get together and drink a few glasses, Wu Xiaosen followed him happily, and when he went out, Zhu Chunyan specially instructed him, "Don't remember, don't drink too much!" ”

Qiu Wanquan is the director of the internal medicine department of the hospital, and also a student of Zhu Chunyan's mother, not only is he highly skilled, he is very bold, he loves to make friends, and he lives next to Wu Xiaosen, the relationship is very good, and he is also a temporary rise, and he calls with several other hospital colleagues.

Because it is rare for everyone to get together to drink and chat, while drinking and chatting, very happy, unconsciously drank a lot, and naturally did not open the door, the attending physician of the radiology department Chang Qing mentioned that his father and his brothers and sisters were very proud, no matter what, he had to take his wife and children home early tomorrow morning to pay New Year's greetings to his father, and call his brothers and brothers together for a few drinks, and the whole family was happy and lively.

Except for Qiu Wan's family in the county seat, Wu Xiaosen's mother has passed away for more than a year, and his father has gone to Pingxi and is not ready to go back, everyone else is far or near in the countryside, and they are all arranged and planned in this way.

These suddenly deeply pricked Wu Xiaosen's sensitive nerves, and for many years, he and his two brothers had an awkward feeling that they couldn't go, and his father was not at home, so he suddenly felt like he had broken his roots, especially lost and irritable.

At ten o'clock, when the sound of closing the door began to sound everywhere, Wu Xiaosen couldn't sit still, so he staggered out of Qiu Wan's house.

When I returned home, I squatted on the ground with my head in my arms and cried for a long time, then got up from the ground and walked out.

Zhu Chunyan didn't know what Wu Xiaosen was going to do, so she stepped forward to stop him, "Where are you going?" ”

"Don't worry about it, I'll go back to my mother's grave! My father is not at home, the cow is still hungry, its ancestors are the treasure of our family, we have to let it eat dumpling soup mixed with grass during the New Year, and we can't wronged it! As he spoke, he pushed Zhu Chunyan away, and hurriedly walked out of the door without looking back.

Zhu Chunyan almost trotted all the way out, Wu Xiaosen was full of wine, with great strength, stopped him several times, but failed to stop him, there were more than ten miles to get home, and most of them were dirt roads, black lights and fire, ice and snow, in case half of the road could not support a head in the ditch on the side of the road and couldn't get up, and he didn't freeze half to death, he couldn't rest assured, so he had to go back and call Xiaomei, let her come over and watch Long Long, and he ran behind him in a panic to follow him.

Although there are street lamps on the street, due to the large number of people and cars, the snow melts relatively quickly, and there is ice everywhere, and it is even more difficult to walk on it than in the snow.

When he walked to the West Ring Road, he saw Wu Xiaosen step on the ice pile, his body was crooked, and he fell to the ground with a thud, and even dropped one of his shoes, maybe it was not too heavy, and he got up from the ground again, raised his legs and continued to walk forward.

Zhu Chunyan picked up Wu Xiaosen's shoes and shouted at him in the back, but he couldn't get the slightest response, very worried, when Wu Xiaosen went to school, he was used to walking at night, and he was also very familiar, and when he got out of the county, Zhu Chunyan's sky became darker and darker, and he didn't dare to go fast, through the glimmer of snow on the ground, listening to Wu Xiaosen's voice in front of him groping and walking, and he couldn't keep up.

The two walked one after the other, I don't know how long they walked, there were about three miles of road from Wujia Village, it was a country road of five or six hundred meters, and there was a dry ditch on the side of the road, Zhu Chunyan walked and walked, and suddenly found that there was no sound in front of him, and he had the courage to shout Wu Xiaosen a few times, but there was no sound at all, and he couldn't help but be afraid, could it be that he was walking too fast and couldn't hear his own voice.

Zhu Chunyan thought anxiously, kept shouting, until she entered the village, she didn't see Wu Xiaosen's figure, she went to Wu Pingshun's house in a panic, and saw that the gate was locked, and there was no light in the courtyard.

How could a big living person get lost like this, now Zhu Chunyan was completely panicked, Wu Pingchun was also anxious, where could he go in the middle of the night, he couldn't care so much, called Wu Xiaofu, Wu Xiaoqi, and Zhu Chunyan searched little by little with flashlights along the original road, and finally found Wu Xiaosen in the ditch less than a hundred meters away from the village.

It seems that Wu Xiaosen is full of wine, he can't support squatting on the side of the road to make wine, and he planted it along the edge of the ditch, his whole body is covered with mud and stomach contents, and his forehead is also scratched by a few blood marks on the root of the wattle on the slope of the ditch, his whole body is cold, his lips are purple, he is curled up and lying in the ditch and sleeping, if he doesn't pay attention to it, no one can find it at all.

Wu Xiaosen slept too dead, several people carried Wu Xiaosen up from the ditch, called for a long time and did not wake up, there are seven or eight miles back to the county seat, the road is not convenient, several people had to take turns to carry him to Wu Pingshun's house, light the firewood to keep warm, boiled half a pot of boiling water to wipe his face, and put it in a plastic bag to keep him warm, settle him, and the others left.

About four o'clock, when the sound of firecrackers outside was the most concentrated, Wu Xiaosen slowly woke up, raised his eyes and saw that he was lying in his father's house, sat up busily, shook his head vigorously to make himself sober, and didn't understand why he came back after thinking about it for a long time.

Zhu Chunyan saw that Wu Xiaosen woke up, and said very angrily, "It's the New Year, look at what you're doing, tell you not to drink so much, but you just don't listen, crying and making trouble and have to come back, the tossing gods and ghosts are not peaceful, uncle, eldest brother, second brother looked for you everywhere, it took a long time to carry you back from your ditch, if I hadn't followed behind, no one would know if I froze to death in the ditch!" I can't live even a year! ”

Wu Xiaosen looked at the door in a daze, suddenly lifted the quilt, and said in a dull voice, "Go, go back, it's not safe for Long Long to be at home alone!" ”

Zhu Chunyan was even more angry when she saw it, "You still don't think you toss enough, go back like this in the middle of the night, don't be afraid of plunging into the pond and drowning you again!" Long Long has my sister watching at home, it will be fine, it's all at this time, and I'll go back after dawn! Cover your right foot well, walk barefoot for five or six miles, and choke if you don't freeze! ”

Wu Xiaosen didn't expect to walk so far barefoot, and he was still frozen in the ditch for more than an hour, subconsciously reached out and touched it, still felt wooden, stared blankly at the portrait of his mother on the wall for a while, and couldn't help crying, "My mother is gone, my father is not at home, a good home in the past, and there is only an empty house left in the blink of an eye, how could there be such a situation before, thinking about it is uncomfortable to be empty, I am really out of breath." ”

Although Zhu Chunyan was very angry with Wu Xiaosen, he understood his mood very well at the moment, and it was useless to say more about it, so he held back his tears when he heard the words, and comforted him while rubbing his feet.

At five o'clock, Wu Xiaofu and his two sons knocked on the door, brought them two bowls of dumplings, looked at Wu Xiaosen with an embarrassed face and said, "It's all at this time, our father doesn't have anything to eat here, eat a bowl of dumplings first, and then go to our mother's grave!" ”

Although Wu Xiaofu and others carried Wu Xiaosen back, but Wu Xiaosen did not accept this feeling, as soon as he heard Wu Xiaofu say to his mother to the grave, he remembered how his mother died suddenly, if there is a mother, how can there be such things last year and this year, and he will not run home in the ice and snow for the New Year, all of this is not caused by your Wu Xiaofu.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but get angry, jumped out of bed, picked up the bowl and threw it out, and said angrily, "Your dumplings are too expensive, I can't afford to eat them!" I'm in a terrible mood right now, I don't want to see you at all, so you leave quickly! ”

Wu Xiaofu didn't expect Wu Xiaosen to suddenly come to such a hand, he was stunned, and said in his heart, usually quarrel with his father and mother and others at home, Xiaosen usually thinks about talking by himself, what's the matter today, he actually made himself angry, and said carefully, "Xiaosen, I didn't mess with you, big brother, why are you so angry!" ”

If Wu Xiaofu didn't speak and left quietly, Wu Xiaosen might be fine after a while, he didn't open his mouth tightly, Wu Xiaosen felt that his head was going to explode and he couldn't wait to eat Wu Xiaofu in one bite, his eyes were round and about to burst out, and he said angrily, "Didn't you hear, I don't want to see you, get out of here and disappear from my eyes, otherwise, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!" ”
