The goose feathers and snow in the sky are blowing one after another, and Tingting is accompanied by the northwest wind unexpectedly, touching the long-lost earth with her soft and soft body. Petal-like snowflakes fluttered around in the wind, slapping on the face, burrowing into the collar, numb, cool, wet, and suddenly a chill hit the whole body.

The four of them put on gloves and hats, carried tools and hurried down the embankment in the face of the wind and snow, along the river beach sheep intestine path, to the bus stop on Central Street.

Wu Xiaojun flicked the snow off his body, waited for more than 20 minutes, and boarded the bus from Pingxi Railway Station to Shenglin Town. The car was already crowded with people, and there was almost no space, so I had to stand at the door of the car.

The car drove very slowly, very slowly, and it was three o'clock in the afternoon when I got home.

Bai Lingyan's unit implements a five-day work system. Saturday was fine, I slept lazily, and went out to see that the sky was overcast and the cold wind was blowing. Then he went to Shenglin Trade City to buy a set of sweaters and pants, a down jacket and a quilt for Wu Xiaojun, and bought a coal stove and some honeycomb coal near the supply and marketing cooperative.

Bai Lingyan cleaned up the house, exchanged a piece of coal from her neighbor, lit the fire, made lunch and waited for Wu Xiaojun to come back.

The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and Wu Xiaojun didn't come back for a long time, Bai Lingyan was lying on the bed very anxious, looking at "Emperor Yongzheng" uncertainly.

Wu Xiaojun looked at the door of the room, knew that Bai Lingyan was here, stood in front of the door and took off the yellow jacket of the third brother Wu Xiaosen when he was studying in Pingxi, shook the snow on it, walked into the house with a sigh of anger, and suddenly felt a burst of warmth, and said with a smile, "It's still warm at home!" Looking at Bai Lingyan in surprise, she said.

Bai Lingyan looked at Wu Xiaojun's shivering, stomped his feet back and forth, frowned, and said, "It's strange that you wear so thin, it's not cold." He got up and got out of bed, "Look what I've done today." ”

Wu Xiaojun looked down at the coal stove that was blazing, then at the new bedding on the bed, and said with a smile, "History has taken a big step forward, the era of alcohol stoves has passed, and the shotguns have been replaced." ”

"Close your eyes, there's more!"

Wu Xiaojun closed his eyes in confusion.

Bai Lingyan smiled and shook the down jacket and sweater in front of Wu Xiaojun, "Break away from your eyes and see what this is?" ”

"Down jackets, sweaters and pants, they were all bought for me!" Wu Xiaojun was surprised.

"yes, put it on!"

"I haven't earned a penny yet, and I'm spending your money all day. You deserve to be so spoiled. ”

"As long as you don't get frozen, I'm willing to spend as much as I want. Who made you my wrongdoer, who owed you in my previous life, if you don't pay you back, the little ghost will haunt me at night. Bai Lingyan looked at Wu Xiaojun and said triumphantly.

Wu Xiaojun said while wearing a sweater, "It's really unnecessary to buy these, I've never been afraid of the cold, and I don't wear thick clothes in winter." ”

"It's easy for you to say, it's not my business to get sick. Turn around and let me see! ”

Wu Xiaojun turned around slightly, and Bai Lingyan looked up and down, "Isn't it good, it's quite handsome." People are clothes and horses, and in the future, you have to take off the skin of rural people, change the habits of rural people, and be as chic as city people. ”

"Are you saying I'm old-fashioned in disguise, or are you ashamed to walk with me!"

"Both!" Bai Lingyan twisted her face and said mysteriously.

"I want to always maintain the true character of a farmer, and never do one year of soil, two years of foreign, and Sanniang forgot the stupid thing of my father and mother."

"If it should change, it must change, and you must follow the customs, otherwise people will look down on you."

Wu Xiaojun hadn't been able to put on new clothes for a long time, so he walked around the house a few times like a child.

"Okay, don't dangle in front of me, my eyes are a little dizzy! Hurry up and eat! ”

The moment Wu Xiaojun raised his hand to take off his down jacket, Bai Lingyan suddenly felt stunned, and said distressedly, "Xiaojun, let me see your hand." ”

Wu Xiaojun hurriedly put his hands behind his back, and said with an unnatural expression, "Look at my hands!" ”。

Bai Lingyan was anxious, and said sternly, "Stretch out, let me see!" ”

Wu Xiaojun dug a ditch on the embankment for several days, his hands had been ground with a lot of blisters and blood bags, swollen and red, and several places had been broken, revealing bright red muscles. He knew what Bai Lingyan meant, but he couldn't bear to let her know. Seeing her nervous expression, I had to put my hand in front of her and said flatteringly, "It's nothing, it's just a few small bubbles, and it will naturally go down in two days." ”

Bai Lingyan grabbed Wu Xiaojun's hand, her brows furrowed, and she said very distressedly, "With so many blood blisters and saying it's okay, you won't be leisurely, why are you so desperate!" ”

Wu Xiaojun smiled faintly, "Du Lina can't count on it at all, just me and Jianmin, we will be quiet after doing it early, and this is much better than cutting wheat." ”

"It's also said that when you first arrive, you can't escape if you want to. Pay attention in the future, don't do anything too hard. I'll pick out the injured bubble for you with a needle, and it will feel better. ”

Bai Lingyan roasted it on a coal fire with a sewing needle, and then gently broke the bubbles one by one, released the accumulated blood and fluid, and disinfected it with iodine. It took more than 20 minutes to complete the rectification.

Wu Xiaojun watched Bai Lingyan busy coming and going, and said with a smile, "No wonder people say that a home without a woman is not a home, as long as you are there, I feel at home." ”

Bai Lingyan smiled slightly, "Say sweet things with honey on your mouth, coax people to wait for you happily, don't forget me one day." ”

"On eating or home-cooked meals, on wearing or coarse cloth clothes, on confidants or marrying wives...... Wu Xiaojun involuntarily hummed Bao Gong's lines in the Henan opera "Bao Qingtian".

Bai Lingyan chuckled, "Who is your wife, who wants to marry an ungrateful Chen Shimei." ”

"Of course it's you, you're my wife, if you don't marry me, no bastard dares to marry you."

"Well, I want to ask you a question, and you want me to answer it like that!"

"Ask what, I'm sure you're satisfied."

"Not necessarily."

"Just ask."

"What would happen to you if Vera Feng suddenly appeared in front of you?"

"She's in Canada, it's impossible, this assumption doesn't hold."

"This answer is dishonest, the next question, what will happen to you if Qin Meixiang suddenly appears in front of the two of us?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Wu Xiaojun's face, and he said casually, "She has been missing for so many years, her life and death are uncertain, and it is impossible for her to come here, and this is even more untrue." ”

"Don't prevaricate me by not being true, I want to hear you say the answer to the truth." Bai Lingyan looked at Wu Xiaojun with longing eyes and said,

Wu Xiaojun's brain was spinning rapidly, why was she a little weird today, and suddenly asked this, could it be that last time I told Qin Meixiang that Bai Lingyan was here, she sent a letter to let Bai Lingyan see it. If Qin Meixiang came over suddenly, Bai Lingyan would definitely be suspicious if she couldn't handle it well. In any case, she couldn't see that she had seen Qin Meixiang. said disdainfully, "Time has passed, and there is no passion on campus for a long time, it is all some old rotten grain, it is no different if she appears or not, even ordinary classmates can't compare." ”

"Aren't you excited, won't you talk about the pain of lovesickness, parting, hugging your head and crying?"

"I want to hug and cry with someone, they have to let me hug me, if there is a bodyguard behind me, I must not be abolished!"

"The thief's heart is not dead, and being abolished by others is self-inflicted, and he deserves it!"

"Alas, the most poisonous woman's heart. You don't even let me have a thief's heart, I still don't pay attention to others, and I am content to hold the big beauty in front of me tightly. ”

Bai Lingyan's reminder reminded Wu Xiaojun that since Yuan Zhen and Qin Meixiang broke up, more than two months have passed, and it is time to send her a letter to report the situation. Thinking of Sizhen, it is a pity that I haven't been able to see each other until now, and there is an inexplicable concern in my heart, what does the little guy look like, square face, round face, long face, who will he look like, and he will definitely not be like his father, because his father is very disgusting, must be like his mother Qin Meixiang, because she is very beautiful, capable, temperamental, and must be promising when she grows up. Curiosity is curiosity, after all, it is someone else's child who has nothing to do with himself.

Qin Meixiang accompanied Feng Weiwei to visit the company's headquarters in Canada, held a number of seminars for middle-level cadres of the company, summarized the work of the past year, and issued year-end bonuses to everyone, and was busy for more than half a month. Vera Feng gave her three days off to be accompanied by the president's office to tour Edmonton's main commercial streets and parks to experience the local atmosphere.

Qin Meixiang went abroad for the first time, and she should have been happy, but a phone call from her mother Zhao Shuting made her unable to keep up her spirits and return to the deep sea in advance.

Mother Zhao Shuting happily talked to Qin Meixiang about her marriage, although it was expected, Qin Meixiang still felt very sudden.

Jiang Yuheng is fifty-three or four years old, he was originally the deputy head of Linhai District of Shenhai City, and his lover was bedridden for many years with hemiplegia and died five years ago. One daughter is a reporter at the Kyoto Newspaper, and her lover is a lecturer at Kyoto University of Science and Technology. Three years ago, Jiang Yuheng was dismissed from his post for failing to deal with a tunnel collapse accident, and he has been at home with nothing to do, reading books and newspapers, playing chess, and going to the park to exercise and exercise. At first, I didn't think about finding a wife, but since I met Zhao Shuting, the two talked very speculatively, and saw the shadow of my wife from her, and gradually developed a good impression. Jiang Yuheng began to have some worries, and it wasn't until his daughter came back half a year ago and found that the relationship between the two was relatively good, so he boldly chased Zhao Shuting, and then he made up his mind.

Mistakes at work are much better than raising a second wife, a lover, and embezzlement and bribery, and Zhao Shuting has always been tolerant of Jiang Yuheng's removal for making mistakes. Jiang Yuheng did not refuse his pursuit, and his daughter Qin Meixiang did not object. The two often spend time together in the park and exercising in the morning. After returning from a trip to Singapore, Jiang Yuheng took the initiative to propose marriage, which made Zhao Shuting feel very sudden, this is not a trivial matter, and she must be cautious. After hesitating for a long time, I finally made up my mind to find my own happiness.

It's a good thing that mom wants to get married, and she wants to have her own world and happiness. But thinking of herself for so many years, watching her children grow up day by day, never being able to have a complete home, and failing to let her children enjoy father's love with other people's children, Qin Meixiang couldn't help but cry secretly. She suddenly regretted her stubborn approach in the past, regretted breaking off contact with Wu Xiaojun for so many years, and regretted pushing Wu Xiaojun to Bai Lingyan's side, today's situation was all caused by herself. But I don't know how Wu Xiaojun and Bai Lingyan are now, whether the two can walk together, if they don't have a chance, they can't hesitate anymore, and it's time to pull Wu Xiaojun back to him.
