Because the army did not find Niu Shao, they drooped their heads all the way and walked sullenly on the way home. The pen %fun %Ge www.biquge.info Niu Shao and the army family live at the head of the village and the other at the end of the village. In between, you have to bypass the village school. In the past few days, because of the freezing, the school construction team has stopped work. Dajun had not returned to the village primary school since he went to the county seat, and he saw from a distance that the iron gate of the school was locked with a thick iron chain, the snow-covered school was empty, and the thatched houses where bees used to catch bees in the cracks of the earthen walls were gone. Rising from the ground is a two-story building, although it is not as good as the three-story building in the county, but it is worth showing off to be able to stand in this lonely village. The classroom was spacious, and Dajun thought that it would be a blessing to listen to the teacher lecture in a classroom with the smell of fishy gypsum. In the center of the campus is a large stainless steel flagpole, on which the ropes sway regularly in the cold wind, and the flagpole is beaten, making a "dangdang" sound. The old dirt playground has also been remodeled. The new playground is imposing and the track is paved with slag ash. Two basketball hoops were built in the middle of the track. The army saw everything new, and reminded him of Grandpa Old Bark, an amiable, lovely old man who had built the school with most of his life's savings. He was excited at the thought of not having to squat in that thatched nunnery to go to the bathroom. The newly built toilet has a total of more than a dozen squatting positions, and you will never have to worry about being late for the toilet again. In addition to his excitement, he suddenly frowned, and he wondered if the old bark grandfather could see all this? Can the old bark grandfather see the three bars on the arms of the army? A gust of wind blew, and a camphor tree in the southwest corner of the school shook off a lot of residual snow, and a fresh fragrance could still be smelled vaguely, this indifferent smell was extremely attached to the army, because Hua Ni's body also exuded such a fragrance. The teenager's nostalgia suddenly made people feel a little sour. The next moment, his heart went up and down, and he couldn't be at peace. The army sighed, raised his head, and shook his shoulders, as if shivering from the cold, and as if he had lifted his spirits after grief. He kicked his hand into his pocket, which was purple from the cold, and after a while he took it out again, and he squatted down in the snow nest, and threw it into a small but strong ball of snow, and threw it at a dead tree in the distance, startling the birds resting on the branches. The inner turmoil of the army scattered in the sky with the birds.

Dajun's mother is taking shoe samples at Xiulian's house. Xiulian's bed was full of people, and a reddish charcoal basin was placed next to the bed, and the room was filled with a pungent smell mixed with heat. Small droplets of water from the window panes happily rolled into the window trough, and the water in the window trough overflowed and seeped into the earthen wall. Compared with the cold outside, the air in the room seemed to be expanding all the time, waiting for a fierce intersection with the cold outside.

Since Xiulian got Hua Niniang's help, she hasn't bought scrap anymore. In the village, she became the envy of the women. There is a lot of fish and meat at home, and you can go to the city to pull some fabric to make clothes. The women all said that Xiulian had accumulated the blessings of eight lifetimes of Yin virtue cultivation. Recently, Hua Niniang came again and bought a lot of fresh goods for Xiulian for the New Year. Hua Ni Niang is also a shrewd person, and she has always wanted to take Hua Ni's younger brother Dongfeng to the city. But how could Xiulian let this golden egg go? No amount of money can compare to the nourishment provided every month.

"Hey! Don't be born in the midst of blessings and don't know how to be blessed! If the child's father is determined to give the child to his mother-in-law, you outsiders can't interfere! It's better to give someone a price at once! The money is covered in your arms, and you don't touch your heart. "It was an old woman in her fifties who spoke, fat, and spat and stars flying as she spoke.

"Yes! I heard you say she was going to give you a thousand! That's a family's income for a few years! Be content! The woman with a black mole at the Meiyu Department said in a weird manner.

At this time, the air in the room was filled with blue smoke, and the pungent smell irritated people's throats, and the women coughed a few times one after another, Xiulian hurriedly opened the door, and in an instant, streams of green smoke poured into the hall, and then the cold air in the hall was exchanged in, making the women cold, and their faces were suddenly full of goosebumps.

At this time, the army mother drew the shoe pattern, sat upright for a while, and said, "If it were me, the child would be released, you see!" The teachers in the city are all professors! When the child goes out for a few months, the text is memorized like a string of money falling to the ground, and it sounds so good! That arithmetic comes as soon as you open your mouth, and there is no ambiguity at all! ”

Xiulian glanced at Dajun Niang and said, "You are the one who fell into the lucky nest and rolled around and talked about itching!" Your man earns a few people a month. What am my man? Yes?! ”

The army lady didn't keep silent when she heard this, and said, "Xiulian! How old are you, when we are at this age, we have to watch the child grow, the child is out, and I will remember my mother's goodness. Hua Ni Niang has been gone all these years, no matter how you are kind to Hua Ni. After taking more than a dozen stitches on the soles of her shoes, she put down the needle and thread in her hand and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I know that it is for my good, if the east wind is not good for me!" There will be no good life for me in the future. The child is returned to his mother, which can be regarded as atonement! Hua Ni I really didn't get angry with her! ”

The army lady smiled: "You goods, your brain has turned back!" ”

Xiulian also laughed, and the army looked at Xiulian and said: "Over the years, sister, how have you been doing, we also know, the man has completely lost his labor, and the two children rely on you to eat, drink and Lazar, and it is really difficult for you to expect a man's little compensation!" ”

The women talked about Hua Ni for a long time until Xiulian's man returned. As if they had made an appointment in advance, they stopped the needle and thread in their hands, wrapped the needle and thread around the soles of their shoes, and got out of bed. Half of the man's thighs lay flat on a wooden plank with wheels, and his hands had two small clogs in order to prop his body on the ground and slide forward. His twisted body had been traumatized exteriorly. This trauma is fatal, but now, what kind of strength does it take for him to break out of the line of death! His hair had been clumped together because it had not been washed for a long time, and it smelled unpleasant. His legs were clinging to his improvised wooden cart, which slid across the snow, dragging long trails. His life was forever connected to this plank, until the moment he stopped breathing.
