On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Dong got up early in the morning and found that Liulinzhuang was already white, and a thick layer of snow had accumulated everywhere. The snow was still falling, and the naughty children were wearing thick cotton clothes, shuttling and running in the snow, some hugging and rolling in the snow, and some chasing and frolicking with snowballs.

There was a thick layer of snow on the roof and yard of Lin Dong's house, and when he woke up, Father Lin was already clearing the snow in the yard.

"Dad, you can rest, let me come." Lin Dong put on his gloves and walked towards Father Lin.

Father Lin let out a white breath, beads of sweat were oozing from his forehead, and handed the shovel in his hand to his son, "You happen to be active, in this kind of weather, there is nothing more comfortable than sweating." ”

Lin Dong laughed and said: "Yes, there is a popular saying in the city now, it is better to invite people to eat than to invite people to sweat." Lack of exercise is common among urban people, and I have a hard time sweating. ”

Father Lin's hand was empty, he lit a cigarette, and when he heard his son tell the story of the city, he shook his head again and again, only to feel incredible, "It's not easy to sweat, run more and move more, then sweat will come." ”

Lin Dong smiled, shoveled the snow on the ground hard, piled the snow in the yard into a pile, and then pushed it out with the family's wheelbarrow and poured it into the open space at the door.

When she was about to finish her work, it was already more than eight o'clock, Mother Lin made breakfast, walked to the door of the kitchen, and said, "You two wash your hands and eat." ”

Lin Dong smiled: "Mom, I'll go to eat when I'm done with the last bit, don't wait for me, eat first." After finishing the work on his hands, Lin Dong sweated all over, and took off the padded jacket outside. Went into the kitchen wearing only a sweater.

"Dongzi, put on the padded jacket and be careful of catching a cold." Mother Lin advised.

Lin Dong said: "Mom, I'm really a little hot, I'll put on my clothes after eating." ”

"No! How old a person is. Don't you know that you can't take off your clothes when you're sweating! Put it on quickly, or you won't be given food. Lin Mu said with a straight face.

Lin Dong smiled, so he had to obediently put on a padded jacket, and after breakfast, he drove to Liu Dahai's house.

Liu Zhi'er's high fever has improved a lot. Although his face was still a little pale, his complexion was much better than yesterday, and he was standing under the door frame in his new clothes at the moment, anxiously waiting for Lin Dong's arrival. She's been waiting for two hours!

The cold wind went straight into the door, and Liu Zhi'er was standing at the vent, his hand in the pocket of his padded jacket, and his neck was shrunk. My whole body was shivering, but my heart was hot.

Sun Guifang persuaded beside him: "I said Zhi'er, you are still sick, don't stand at the wind outlet, hurry back to the house." I made a brazier for you in the house, but it was warm. ”

Liu Zhi'er smiled: "Mom, don't be busy, maybe Brother Dongzi is coming, I'll wait." ”

Sun Guifang has persuaded her I don't know how many times, but she is a girl who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. If she has made up her mind, she will not look back, no matter how hard she persuades her, she is indifferent. Sun Guifang shook her head. When he entered the kitchen, he took out a bowl of ginger soup and brought it to Liu Zhi'er.

"Girl, drinking ginger soup can warm up your body and be good for your illness."

Liu Zhi'er took the soup bowl from her mother's hand. I drank all the bowl of ginger soup in one go, and the ginger soup tasted spicy and pungent. After drinking it, I felt that my whole body was roasted by fire, steaming, and I opened my mouth and exhaled one hot breath at a time.

"It's so spicy, it's spicy......"

Liu Genzi came back from outside, hot and sweaty, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Mom, what did you give my sister something to drink?" I'm going to drink it too! ”

Sun Guifang said: "Ginger soup, there is still it in the pot, do you want to drink it?" ”

Liu Genzi stuck out his tongue, "I don't want to drink it, it's hard to drink." When he saw Liu Zhi'er wearing new clothes, he asked, "Sister, are you going out?" ”…,

Liu Zhi'er nodded.

"Where?" Liu Genzi leaned over and asked.

Liu Zhi'er said: "It's none of your business, play by yourself." ”

Liu Genzi shook Liu Zhi'er's arm, "Sister, tell me quickly, otherwise I won't let you go out!" ”

"I'll go to the county seat." Liu Zhi'er couldn't resist him, so she had to tell Liu Genzi that she was going to the county seat.

Liu Genzi was overjoyed and shouted: "Mom, hurry up and change my clothes, I want to go to the county seat with my sister!" ”

Sun Guifang pulled Liu Genzi over and said angrily: "Don't make trouble, your sister didn't go to the county seat to play, she had something important to do." ”

"No, no, no, I'm going to the county seat, I'm going to eat Western food!" Liu Genzi pestered Sun Guifang, shouting non-stop.

At this time, Liu Dahai walked out of the room with a straight face, "Who is going to the county seat?" ”

Liu Genzi knew that his father had always loved him the most, and he also knew that his sister listened to his father the most, so he ran over and hugged Liu Dahai's arm, "Dad, my sister is going to Sioux City, you tell her quickly, let her take me with me." ”

Liu Dahai scolded loudly: "Not this time, you are obediently at home, don't mess around!" ”

Liu Genzi is the little emperor of the family, he usually says that he has to give whatever he wants, and his parents who love him the most today are not allowed to go to the county seat, and he lost his temper on the spot, "Let my sister go, why don't you let me go?" You say! ”

Liu Dahai's big eyes widened, "If you are reversed, you dare to question your Lao Tzu!" It's been a long time since I've tasted the soles of my shoes, and my skin is itchy, right? Liu Dahai pretended to bend down to take off his shoes, intending to scare and scare Liu Genzi, he was old and had a son, just such a precious son, how could he be reluctant to fight.

The most frightened thing in this family is his father Liu Dahai, this tyrant is in trouble, and the king of heaven and Lao Tzu dare to scold, and there is nothing he dares to do. When he saw that Liu Dahai was angry, he wanted the sole of his shoe to beat him, so he cried in fright and hid behind Sun Guifang.

"Mom, save me, my dad is going to beat me!"

Sun Guifang glanced at Liu Dahai, and was already telling Liu Dahai to scare and scare the child, don't really fight.

At this time, Lin Dong's car drove to the door of Liu Dahai's house, and Liu Zhi'er ran towards the door like a fly, and when Liu Genzi reacted, the car had already left the village. Liu Genzi stood on the road outside the yard, tears falling down her eyes, she was very aggrieved, and she thought that her sister who loved him the most no longer hurt him.

The snow was still drifting in the sky, the wind was howling through the village, the snow was falling from time to time on the branches, and the jackdaws on the trees were changing from branch to branch and making lonely calls.

"Roots, I'm home, it's snowing heavily outside." Sun Guifang ran over, but Liu Genzi just stood there motionless.

Liu Dahai strode out of the house, and when he got closer, he grabbed the willow branch in the armpit and forcibly brought it back to the house.

"Just sit at home and watch TV for me, no matter how honest you are, you will be beaten!" Liu Dahai pretended to be vicious, but he also frightened him, Liu Genzi sat there honestly, he didn't dare to cry, and he didn't dare to make trouble.

Sun Guifang saw Liu Dahai coming out of the room, and whispered to him: "Dahai, you still have the ability, Genzi really doesn't dare to make trouble." ”

Liu Dahai showed a smile on his face, "A loving mother is a loser, you have to remember this, the child can't be too casual with him!" ”

Sun Guifang smiled in her heart, and said in her heart, you usually spoil him more than me, and he will have his tail up to the sky after praising you for two sentences.

……

Lin Dong drove to the town with Liu Zhi'er, the road was slippery in the snow, he drove very slowly, and it took an hour to get to the door of Wang Donglai's house.

Wang Guoshan had been looking forward to it at the door for a long time, and when he saw Lin Dong's car coming, he hurriedly said to Wang Donglai: "Come east, pack up, and get ready to go." ”

Wang Donglai was still lying on the bed in the back room, looking at the roof with dull eyes, "What is there to clean up, divorce is much simpler than getting married." ”…,

When she arrived at the door of Wang Donglai's house, Liu Zhi'er looked cramped and uneasy, and her already pale face became even paler due to nervousness.

Lin Dong held her hand and said softly, "Zhi'er, don't be afraid, I'll accompany you." You wait for me in the car for a while, and I'll call the Wang family and his son over. ”

Liu Zhi'er bit her lip and nodded.

After Lin Dong got out of the car, he braved the heavy snow and ran towards Wang's house.

Wang Guoshan welcomed him into the house and poured him a cup of hot water, "Lin Dong, it's too cold, let's take a sip of hot tea." ”

Lin Dong said: "It's important to get down to business, the snow is too big today, and the road can't be driven fast, so let's set off as soon as possible." ”

Wang Guoshan shouted at the gift: "Come to the east, okay?" ”

Wang Donglai sat up from the bed, "Okay, let's go!" ”

Coming out of the room, Wang Donglai was unkempt, his eyes were red, and he looked at Lin Dong as if he was about to kill.

Lin Dong glanced at Wang Donglai and said, "Get in the car." After speaking, he took the lead in walking out of the door, Wang Donglai limped behind him, Wang Guoshan locked the door and followed behind Wang Donglai. The snow was slippery, Wang Donglai's legs and feet were inconvenient, he fell and gnawed on a mouthful of dirty snow.

This frightened Wang Guoshan, Wang Guoshan hurriedly ran forward, helped Wang Donglai up, and asked with concern: "Donglai, are you okay?" As he spoke, he dusted off the snow on Wang Donglai's body.

When Lin Dong saw this scene, his heart was sour, no matter how bad the Wang family's father and son were to Liu Zhi'er, this father-son relationship was touching.

When he got to the car, Wang Donglai handed Liu Zhi'er a big bag in his hand and said, "The bag contains the clothes you left at my house, and you won't come back in the future, and the goods will be returned to the original owner." ”

Liu Zhi'er looked at Wang Donglai and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Wang Donglai didn't say anything, just smiled.

Lin Dong started the car and slowly accelerated on the road covered with a thick layer of snow. The father and son of the Wang family sat in the back seat, Wang Donglai kept looking out the window, thoughtful, and he didn't know what he was thinking at this moment. Wang Guoshan looked at his son with a nervous face, in the past two days, he obviously felt the changes in Wang Donglai, he was not noisy at home, he ate when he should eat, and slept when he should sleep, he couldn't tell whether the change was good or bad, but he was faintly worried about his son.
