Feng Yudi took Wu Xiaojun back to his original home in the family courtyard of Pingxi Machinery Factory, let him in the door and sat on the sofa with a smile, took out an apple and sat opposite him and said while peeling, "Time flies so fast, it has been more than three years since I went out in a flash, and I came back twice in the middle, and there is no one to take care of it at home, so it has become unseemly, which makes you laugh." ”

Wu Xiaojun smiled slightly, "Eldest sister, you have been out for so long, and I don't think much has changed." After you were transferred, the unit didn't take over the house? ”

Feng Yudi said, "The unit also urged twice at the beginning, and I was busy with things over there, and I didn't have time to come back to go through the formalities after delaying it again and again." Later, I don't know why, no one urged anymore. To tell the truth, I regretted it when I went there, not only was the climate not adaptable, but the conditions were not as good as ours. If it weren't for the fact that Haoxiang didn't finish this semester and didn't want him to transfer schools halfway, I would have come back a month ago. ”

Wu Xiaojun asked, "How is Haoxiang's academic performance now?" ”

Feng Yudi said happily, "Thanks to you, his academic performance has always been within the top five in the class, and the teachers like him very much." He handed the peeled apple to Wu Xiaojun and said, "You watch TV and eat first, we don't care about the rules of the New Year, I bought dumplings, and I will cook them now." As he spoke, he turned on the TV, put the remote control in front of Wu Xiaojun, and went to the kitchen.

Wu Xiaojun held the remote control in his hand and pressed it casually a few times, many stations broadcast a large number of migrant workers and people outside the scene of squeezing trains and cars to rush home for reunion, as well as the whole family sitting together, happy to eat the New Year's dinner. Hometown tonight thinking for a thousand miles, frost sideburns Ming Dynasty another year of artistic conception.

Feng Yudi cooked the dumplings and brought them out, prepared two cold dishes, a plate of fish, and a plate of meat, took out a bottle of wine from the inner room and opened it, and poured two glasses with a smile, "Fortunately, there is a big supermarket open, otherwise there is really nothing to eat this year, and it will become an authentic floating New Year." ”

Wu Xiaojun said with great satisfaction, "Eldest sister, I didn't even dare to think about these things in front of me, a steamed bun with a cup of boiling water is the best New Year's goods." ”

Feng Yudi sat down with emotion and said, "I have never been so cold this year, if Lao Tong, my son and Wei Wei are here, it will definitely be lively, there is no way, I have to do it." Not to mention these, it is also the biggest fate for the two of us to have a New Year's dinner together today, come, let's have a drink. As he spoke, he lifted the cup.

Wu Xiaojun raised his glass, "Thank you, eldest sister, I wish your whole family a new year, you and Brother Tong find a suitable job and make a fortune, Haoxiang's academic performance is leading all the way, and he will be admitted to a national famous university in the future." ”

Feng Yudi smiled and said, "I wish you a smooth completion of your studies, a good future, and a good daughter-in-law as soon as possible." Clink! ”

The two cups of "Bang Bang" collided, and then drank each other.

Feng Yudi picked up the chopsticks and said enthusiastically, "Brother, eat vegetables, eat vegetables!" ”

Wu Xiaojun ate and asked, "Eldest sister, where is Sister Weiwei now, and what is the situation?" ”

Feng Yudi smiled lightly, "My sister, since I immigrated to Canada, everything has changed, and I finally let go of my heart." Foreigners and us Chinese are different, people don't care whether they will have children, as long as they are happy and happy, she and the Canadian of the company old and married the year before last. She became the company's vice president and now has branches in more than a dozen countries. I wrote to me three months ago, planning to return to China after the year to set up a company in the deep sea. ”

Wu Xiaojun was excited in his heart, and asked in astonishment, "Deep Sea? ”

Feng Yidi saw that Wu Xiaojun's expression suddenly changed, and said very seriously, "Exactly, do you have any acquaintances there?" ”

Wu Xiaojun hurriedly shook his head and said with a light smile, "I just think it's strange what kind of place is the deep sea, where so many people go." Eldest sister, what does Sister Weiwei's company do? ”

Feng Yidi thought for a while and said, "It seems to be related to medical devices, and it is very big, and I can't say it clearly." Maybe you'll have a chance to meet in the future. ”

Wu Xiaojun smiled bitterly, "I hope so." ”

After the New Year's dinner, the two chatted while watching the Spring Festival Gala, and did not go back to rest until the end of the party.

Wu Pingshun has been most afraid of the New Year's Festival over the years, this year, in addition to Xiaofu and Qiao Na causing irritability, more importantly, Wu Xiaojun did not come back, his heart was empty, there was no taste of the New Year, Chinese New Year's Eve one night the door was bolted, the lights were turned off and lay on the bed, no matter how Wu Pingchun and Wu Xiaoliang knocked on the door, they did not open, and Xiaojun's mother was scolded for wanting to go out and open the door.

Throughout Chinese New Year's Eve, Wu Pingshun simply felt the non-stop crackling of firecrackers in Sili and Eight Villages, lying on the bed and thinking about what the problem was at home over the years, and what he should do in the future, the more he thought about it, the more angry and hateful he became, and he couldn't get along with two packs of cigarettes in one night.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Wu Xiaosen and Zhu Chunyan came back with their sons, and when they saw that the door was closed, they called for a long time before Xiaojunniang opened the door. When grandson Long Long saw his grandmother, he pounced happily, "Happy New Year, grandma!" ”

Xiao Junniang looked at her lively and lovely grandson, with a smile on her face, picked him up and kissed him gently, and said to Zhu Chunyan, "Why did you come back so early, what should you do if the child is freezing in the cold." Your dad hasn't gotten up yet, so let's go in and bake the fire! ”

Zhu Chunyan and Wu Xiaosen pushed the bicycle into the courtyard and put it away, stood and looked at it, there was not even a shadow of a piece of cannon paper, and they felt a little cold in their hearts, and asked Wu Xiaosen in a low voice, "Why don't you have any New Year's flavor at all, is there something wrong?" ”

Wu Xiaosen lowered his head and walked into the house with an ugly face, without answering Zhu Chunyan's question.

It was Long Long who ran to Wu Pingshun's bedside, kept shouting grandpa, and called Wu Pingshun up, Wu Pingshun took out a hundred yuan to Long Long, Long Long said mischievously, "Thank you, grandpa, happy new year, grandpa." ”

Wu Pingshun smiled, "Long Long is so good, let's go out and play." "Long Long ran out.

Wu Xiaosen walked over, saw Wu Pingshun bowing his head and kept smoking, the room was so choked that he couldn't get in, and sat quietly on the edge of the bed, "Dad, smoking is not good for your illness, smoke less in the future." ”

Wu Pingshun knew that Wu Xiaosen couldn't make sense of what he was talking about, he was often angry for a while, and he wouldn't take it to heart later, seeing his family of three coming back, he was in a much better mood, and said distressedly, "What are you doing when you come back when it's so cold, Long Long's face is about to freeze and swell." ”

Wu Xiaosen said, "A few days ago, Chunyan received a call from Luo Xiao's father, a classmate of Xiaojun at Zhaohe Distillery, saying that he was going to the county to meet you and my mother on the fifth day of the new year. Chunyan saw that the people were very sincere and enthusiastic, so she agreed. People mainly came to the army, and I don't know if the army can come back in the third year of junior high school, if he is not there, it will be much less. ”

Wu Pingshun knew that Xiaojun had a relationship with the Luo family before, Luo Xiao was long gone, and her parents still remembered the old love, which showed that people were very grateful, and they would definitely go. But after thinking about it, I vaguely felt that something was wrong. At this time, Zhu Chunyan walked in, Wu Pingshun's eyes lit up, and he said slowly, "Chunyan, do Luo Xiao's parents want to see me?" ”

Zhu Chunyan said, "Yes, I answered the phone, I think, it is not easy for people to come from the town in the New Year, I thought about letting them go to my house first, and it would be a good thing for me to contact a restaurant for everyone to sit together." ”

Wu Pingshun sighed hesitantly and said, "Xiaojun is so unlucky, Qin Meixiang was the first to deal with her, but she didn't expect her father to have an accident, she and her mother disappeared quietly, and there is no news until now." Later, he got along with Luo Xiao again, but Luo Xiao died at a young age. ”

Zhu Chunyan heard for the first time that Luo Xiao was dead, and asked in surprise, "Dad, no, how can Luo Xiao die, what's going on?" Also, when did Xiaojun get along with Luo Xiao, and never heard him say it? ”

Wu Pingshun said sadly, "Xiaojun told me, it's all true." Luo Xiao also has a half-sister, and Xiaojun is in the same class, last time I went to meet your mother once, almost exactly the same as Luo Xiao. After so many years, Luo Wenhe suddenly remembered to see me, would there be anything in it, I was really a little ignorant. ”

Zhu Chunyan was very sensitive, and said in surprise, "Dad, Xiaojun won't have anything to do with Luo Xiao's sister, listening to Luo Wen's tone, he has a good impression of Xiaojun, if he comes specifically for Xiaojun and Luo Xiao's sister, Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan don't come back, it's okay to say, if they really come back and don't meet, it's not appropriate, what if they meet!" ”

Wu Ping said in embarrassment, "After you say this, I am also a little worried, we don't see people being rude, and we are worried about unpleasantness when we meet, this thing is really difficult to do." ”

Zhu Chunyan thought for a while and said, "In my opinion, Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan won't tell them about this matter when they come back, when the time comes, you and my mother will go directly to the Cuiyun Hotel next to the hospital at nearly eleven o'clock, and Xiaosen and I will wait for Luo Xiao's parents at home, and try to delay until you arrive before going over, just let them meet each other, see how the four of them react, observe the shape, and let Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan blow it if it doesn't work." ”

Wu Pingshun lowered his head and was silent for a while, then nodded slightly, "Although this is a bit detrimental, in order to serve the army in the future, it can only be like this." ”

Wu Xiaojun spent the first year of junior high school bored, and set off for Siyuanpo in Beimeng County early the next morning with the gifts prepared in advance. When I was about to reach the fork, I saw Bai Lingyan wearing a thick down jacket alone in the cold wind, constantly looking in the direction of the incoming car.

Wu Xiaojun got out of the car and asked distressedly, "Why are you stupid, it's so cold, how long has it been, and your face is almost turning into a red apple." ”

Bai Lingyan smiled happily, "I thought you wouldn't be able to change the hexagram, it didn't take long, that is, more than an hour." ”

Wu Xiaojun smiled bitterly, "It's not long to be frozen for more than an hour, so I don't know what to say about you." ”

Bai Lingyan pursed her lips and smiled, and said coquettishly, "I don't want to stay at home, can't I go out for a ride in advance!" ”

Wu Xiaojun looked at her leisurely expression and asked solemnly, "I came today, does your family know?" Did you tell them? ”
