CHAPTER XXXIX
Early in the morning of the third year of junior high school, Mo Mo said goodbye to his mother and friends, and rushed to Shi Yichen's hometown with his father. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Because of the distance, when the two were married, none of Shi Yichen's relatives came over, but the two families simply had a marriage dinner. Considering that the Shi family has many relatives, it is quite troublesome for them to come over, so the two sides discussed it and decided to take the opportunity of the Chinese New Year to let Mo Mo go over and get to know the relatives over there.
Originally, it was said that their family had passed, but thinking that Mo's mother was not in good health, I was afraid that it would be unbearable on such a cold day after such a long journey. And leaving He Hui alone at home to watch the house, by the way, taking care of edamame and black briquettes mother and son may be a little difficult, without much hesitation, Mo Mo persuaded his mother to stay at home and be with her friends, and she and her father just went over.
The first snow of this winter came late, but the stay was particularly long, from Chinese New Year's Eve to the third day of the new year, there was no sign of stopping.
Going out on a snowy day isn't completely without its benefits. Just like on this day, in order to rush to Shi's house before lunch, Mo Mo was pulled out of the warm quilt by his mother's gentle calls one after another at five o'clock in the morning. If it had been before, it would have been dark at five o'clock, and I wouldn't have been able to see anything. And now, even after a few days of snowfall, the world is covered in silver, as if it were a white light, and you can walk without driving the lights.
I got up too early and didn't have much appetite, Mo Mo drank a bowl of hot soup to warm up, was pressed by his mother and friends in front of the dresser and dressed up carefully, then yawned and got into the car in a daze, and soon fell asleep in the back seat half-lying.
slept until midnight, and when Mo Mo woke up wrapped in a soft quilt, the car had already driven to the prefecture-level city where Shi Yichen's hometown belonged.
"Dad, I'm hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
"There is winter melon soup and pies in it, it should still be hot, eat it while it's hot." Dad Mo handed the thermos bucket to his daughter, knowing that this girl was going to cry out when she woke up, and his wife specially prepared hot soup and pies for him to carry.
"Why are there so many cars on the road? It's been blocked for a while, right? "Mo Mo originally thought that going out on a snowy day during the New Year would be unimpeded along the way, but he didn't expect that even this place would be blocked!
"It is estimated that they are all going to relatives' cars...... "There is probably a custom of going to my mother's house in the third year of junior high school, there are a lot of cars on the road, and it is snowy and the road is not easy to walk, and the car has been blocked here for a while.
"Such a coincidence? I knew that we would come back a day later, Shi Yichen is really, didn't he say that they were all relatives in the second year of junior high school? ā
"Yichen's village is used to the second year of junior high school, and the daughter who marries out may be the third year of junior high school, and the customs are different in different places, how can you children know this?"
"Oh~" Mo Mo still doesn't seem to understand, but she won't be too entangled in these inconsequential little things, and she will drink hot soup and eat pies.
It's no wonder that Mo Mo can't figure it out, after all, since she can remember, the family has always been happy behind closed doors for the New Year, and the family of three has no experience in visiting relatives at all. I won't talk about it here, because my stepmother is always making trouble, in order to avoid making everyone unhappy during the New Year, Grandpa Mo said when he was alive that he would let Dad Mo take his wife and children to live well, and he didn't have to go to the old house. Mo Dad didn't want his wife who was not in good health to be supported by that old woman to do this and that, so he immediately responded, and only went through the motions on the first day of the New Year, and secretly gave Grandpa Mo a big red envelope by the way. Later, Grandpa Mo died, and Mo's father, who never cared what outsiders said, didn't move around at all with that side, and even saved New Year's greetings. As for Mo's mother, her biological father died early, her biological mother remarried, and she grew up with her grandparents. It's just that the old man is not in good health, Mo's mother has just been married for two years, and the two old men have passed away one after another, and they have no contact with their biological mother at all, of course, they don't have to go to any relatives.
After more than half an hour, the car was finally able to move slowly. When we turned onto the country road, the cars suddenly became scarce. Mo Mo, who was full of food and drink, lay on the side of the car window, looking at the white snow boredly, chatting with his father with or without a match.
"That's Yichen, right?"
Mo Mo Wen looked in the direction his father pointed out, and the boy who was standing in a snow with an umbrella and stamped his feet was indeed Shi Yichen. "It's him!" As he spoke, he opened the car window and leaned out of his hand calling Shi Yichen's name and waving.
"Hurry up and close the window, what if it's frozen!" Seeing that the wilting girl came to her senses as soon as she saw the stinky boy, she smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and Mo Dad, who was still a little moved just now, suddenly felt uncomfortable, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that the stinky boy was hateful.
"Dad, I've been sitting for too long, my legs are numb, I'll go down for a walk~" Mo Mo was coquettish with his father, making a fuss about getting out of the car.
"Be nice, it's cold outside, aren't you wearing new boots? Go down and walk for a while and it will get dirty. ā
"There is snow on the ground, it's not dirty at all...... Mo Mo hesitated, but when he saw the thick snow outside, he immediately relaxed.
Mo Dad was so troubled that he had no choice but to let her go, and watched his daughter get out of the car and throw herself into the arms of the stinky boy, and then let the little bastard take the little hand and walk unhurriedly on the not spacious road in the countryside. He wanted to be out of sight, but it was the first time he came, and he didn't know how to get to the kid's house, so he could only slowly drive behind the two children.
"Have you waited a long time? Why are you so stupid, you said that you will be called when you are almost there......" Feeling that the big hands wrapped around him were cold, Mo Mo was very distressed, and couldn't help whispering.
"It didn't take long, just after going out for a while, you just gave me warmth." Shi Yichen wanted to pretend to be pitiful and steal incense, but the prospective father-in-law in the car next to him stared at him with blazing eyes, and the burning gaze wanted to stab him into a sieve, holding hands was already the limit, he didn't dare to take risks easily, what if the prospective father-in-law who came to the door was angry?
āā¦ā¦ Do you have many relatives? Don't forget to remind me what to call it later...... "With my father here and Shi Yichen by my side, the little timidity hidden in Mo Mo's heart quickly disappeared." Shi Yichen's relatives like her, she really doesn't care much what those relatives think of her, as long as she is not rude, she doesn't need to go to great lengths to please them.
"It's not too much, but this year, my uncle, who is suspected of being a son-in-law, has also returned, and my little aunt and cousin have some eyes above the top and look down on rural people, you don't have to pay attention to them, if they say something unpleasant, just ignore it......" Shi Yichen was also a little helpless when he said it, the family found various reasons not to go back to their hometown to see their grandparents in previous years, why did they come back this year?
