The weather was getting colder and colder day by day, and in the morning it was either fog or frost, and for two nights it snowed, and the road was frozen, and the clouds fell.

"Where did you fall?"

Ping An pulled her up.

Yun Zhu rubbed his knees, which were a little painful, took a breath, and insisted, "It's nothing." ”

Ping'an hugged Yunzhu and asked her to sit in the car, and pulled the blanket to help her cover her knees, and he continued to drive the car in front.

"Let's not come out so early tomorrow, it's cold, what if you get frostbite?"

Yunzhu rubbed her hands and felt her teeth chatter: "No, it's okay." ”

The two of them finally came to the shop in the cold wind and started another busy day. Seeing that it is the end of the year again, business has been good since this month, Yunzhu wants to make a good profit before the year, and after saving enough money in the coming year, he can go back to find a shop.

"You said that when we have saved enough capital, then we will rent a shop in the backyard, and then we won't have to suffer so much. The mother also came to live with us. How about buying a maid to serve her old man? ”

"What about the things on the mountain?"

"Just find someone to take care of it for us."

Yun Zhu lowered her head and thought for a while, such a day was too far away from them, and she didn't dare to think about it yet.

The husband and wife work together to run their shop, and although it is hard to go back and forth every day, they are also happy when their wallets are bulging.

Yun Zhu fell like this, fortunately, it was not a big deal, but his knee rubbed a little skin and turned red. Even Ping'an said that she would ask Yuan Muhua to dispense some medicine, but she didn't agree.

Business was good in the morning, but in the afternoon it was overcast, and I don't know if it was going to snow or rain. Ping An said, "Why don't we close the stall earlier." ”

Yunzhu said: "It's still early, it's better to wait." ”

It was getting darker and darker, and there were no pedestrians on the streets. Ping'an burned a fire basket for Yunzhu, and the two prepared to go back, otherwise they were afraid that the rain and snow would block the road.

Pack your things. Closing the shop, Ping'an drove the mule, followed by Yunzhu, and then walked under the crooked neck tree. A man came up and stopped him.

Ping An turned his head and said to Yunzhu: "You go back first, I'll be back soon." ”

Yun Zhu glanced at the person who came, she didn't know it at all, and she was naturally not as tall as Ping'an. But he looked quite sven, wearing a round leather robe and a warm hat with fur, and he knew that he was a rich man at first glance.

Ping An didn't plan to introduce the person next to him to Yunzhu, so Yunzhu naturally didn't ask much, turned around and wrapped his things and left.

The person who came was Liao Yan, and Ping An saw that Yunzhu was far away, so he said to Liao Yan: "Mr. Liao, please come in and sit for a while." ”

He took the key and opened the door of the shop and invited Liao Yan to come in and sit. Here again, a stove was built, and the pot was filled with water. Put it on the stove and burn it slowly, and the two of them roasted around the stove.

Liao Yan looked at this cramped shop, frowned slightly and said, "This is the shop opened by your husband and wife?" ”

Ping'an's face showed a look of shame and said, "Yes, it's just too small." However, the business is not too bad, and there are three or four taels of silver in a month. ”

Liao Yan asked, "Why is your shop's surname Song?" ”

Ping An said: "The insider's surname is Song. ”

Liao Yan nodded and said with a smile: "I didn't expect our Brother Feng to be a cheerful person. ”

"Hey, I'm ashamed, I'm just helping to get started, and the main thing is that the insiders are taking care of it. It's a pity that you didn't come well, otherwise let the inner man cook a bowl of noodles for you to taste. You know how good your insider's craft is. ”

Liao Yan heard that such a small and inappropriate place could have three or four taels a month, so he knew that it must taste good, otherwise no one would want to come and eat.

"Well, how did you think about what you told you last time?"

Ping An lowered his eyebrows and pondered for a while before saying, "No." There are so many ties at home, I can't let go of them. ”

"You are a seven-foot man with a lot of ability, are you willing to deign to sell noodles here for a lifetime and give your wife a hand?"

Ping'an's face was slightly pale, and he said slowly: "Life at home is finally smoother. I can't leave. ”

"It's reasonable that you can't rest assured. However, I have already consulted with the general, and I am willing to help you in any way I can. I hope you can promise me something. Follow the general in the future. ”

Ping'an still didn't believe it: "I don't know a few words, and I haven't seen the world, I don't know anything, what does Mr. like about me?" ”

Liao Yan said with a smile: "Brother Feng's things have not been unearthed yet, my vision has always been good, I have never looked at it, I believe in myself." You don't have to worry too much, I say you can do it, you can do it! However, time is pressed here, so I implore Brother Feng to give me an answer immediately, and I can also reply to the general's words. ”

Ping An lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

……

Yunzhu walked out for a long time and didn't see Ping An coming up, the cold wind was cold, and she couldn't take care of it, so she hurriedly ran back home, shouting cold.

Mrs. Feng was cooking pig food, and Yun Zhu hurriedly ran to the stove to roast the fire.

Mrs. Feng was a little puzzled: "Where are you going to go safely, why did you come back alone?" ”

Yunzhu said: "He met an acquaintance, delayed, and may come back in a while." ”

Mrs. Feng didn't ask much, Yun Zhu wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes, so Mrs. Feng found a few big sweet potatoes, washed them, rubbed them with water, and handed them to Yun Zhu. Yunzhu buried the sweet potato in the stove,

It didn't take long for a light snow to fall, but peace hadn't yet returned. Yunzhu couldn't help but worry, the sweet potatoes had already been cooked, and she was still waiting for Ping An to come back and eat with her.

But when the chickens were about to enter the pen, peace returned. Driving the mule cart, it was still snowing at that time, and it was getting bigger.

Seeing that he was covered with snowflakes, Yunzhu couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and hurriedly helped move the things off the cart and led the mule to feed water and grass. Yu Niu'er has gone home, but fortunately, there is not much work at home these days.

"Why did you come back so late?"

"Something delayed a bit." Ping An shook off the snowflakes on his body, and some of his hair had turned into water and became wet.

Yunzhu hurriedly asked him to sit down and found a cloth towel for him to wipe the water from his hair.

"Who is that person today? How do I not recognize it? ”

Ping An originally wanted to keep it hidden, but today Liao Yan came to the door, and he knew that he couldn't hide it anymore.

"He came to me to discuss something."

"Oh, does it matter? You should come in and sit down in the house for a while. ”

"He's in a hurry to go back."

The question and answer between the two seemed a little flat, and Ping An kept thinking about how to tell Yunzhu if he didn't say goodbye. How sad she and her mother should be. Now that he has made up his mind, he should discuss it with them.

Ping'an said: "I have something to discuss with you in a while, and I'll talk about it later." ”

"Oh. Good. Yunzhu's instinct told her that it must be a big deal, and she secretly guessed what the origin of that person was.

Sure enough, it was time for dinner. Ping'an had a showdown with his mother and daughter-in-law: "Mother, Azhu, I may have to leave in two days." ”

Feng Lao Niang and Yun Zhu were both shocked, and Feng Lao Niang hurriedly asked, "Go, where are you going?" ”

"General Zhao, he said he wanted me to join the expedition."

"God......" Mrs. Feng felt that five thunders hit the top. Is my son really going to be drafted into the army? But the world is peaceful, and it's not yet war, so how can you enlist in the army?

Yun Zhu was stunned for a long time and hurriedly asked, "What General Zhao?" ”

Ping'an told them exactly what he had happened to Zhao Chuan and Liao Yan. Both of them listened very carefully, after listening to Ping'an.

Feng Lao Niang said: "You also ruthlessly left your mother, your daughter-in-law?" You're gone, what will this family do? This stall at home, your daughter-in-law and I can't pull it down, have you thought about it? ”

Ping An groaned and said, "Mother, Azhu, don't worry. General Zhao promised me that he would arrange for you. Mr. Liao said he would help us. He took out a few silver tickets from his bosom, put them on the table, and said to the two, "Here are five hundred taels of silver tickets, which were given by the general." And he said that he would take you into the city to live, and they would take care of you. General, he made all the arrangements. ”

Mrs. Feng didn't look at the silver ticket, she put it away, handed it over to Ping'an, and said, "You give this back to that general, we will honestly farm in the countryside." Just sell noodles, don't follow to fight any battles, there are eyes for swords and arrows on the battlefield? It's not like the village hasn't been to join the army, who has come back? You don't take care of yourself. We cherish it! ”

Ping'an didn't take the money, he said apologetically: "Mother, I'm sorry, I've already agreed." ”

"Why? Are you so cruel to leave us together, you don't even have your own children, you want to run? Who do you call our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to go in the future?! ”

Ping An said: "You can rest assured. I will arrange your path, otherwise I will not be at ease to walk. ”

Yunzhu knew that Ping An had made up his mind, and it was useless for anyone to say at this time. Feng Lao Niang sat there crying, Yun Zhu looked at the mother and son, but she didn't know which one to persuade was better.

Ping An sighed, got up and went out.

Yunzhu sat in front of Feng Lao Niang and gently persuaded: "Mother, don't cry, he has made up his mind about peace, and it is useless for us to say anything." He decided for himself, just let him go. ”

Feng Lao Niang wiped her tears and said, "Why do you say he is so ruthless and left us two behind." What should I do in the future? ”

Yun Zhu comforted her a few words, and she was also sad in her heart, but what could she say at this time, she knew Ping An too well. Thinking of the anomaly of peace these days, it turns out that it is all because of this incident.

After appeasing her mother-in-law, Yunzhu returned to the house. Ping An sat at the table, his figure reflected on the wall, stretched long. Hearing the sound of Yunzhu opening the door, he didn't move.

Yunzhu looked at his figure and stopped her steps.

Ping An hurriedly got up, strode up to her, hugged her tightly in his arms, smelled the fragrance on her body, and seemed to be reluctant in his heart.

"Actually, you've always wanted to get out, haven't you?"

Ping'an said: "Mr. Liao has the grace of knowing me, I have to repay it." ”

Yunzhu closed her eyes and said, "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

Ping'an buried his head in Yunzhu's shoulder, hugged her body and trembled slightly, and said sullenly: "The person who knows me best is you!" ”

Yunzhu sneered: "Sure enough, I didn't guess wrong. ”

"I'm sorry!"

"You don't have to tell me I'm sorry, it's a good thing for a man to have ambitions. It's just that this family really can't live without you, and I really need your help. ”

Ping An said firmly: "But I have promised, there is no reason to regret it, you wait for me, within a year or two, I will definitely mix up an appearance, so that you and your mother are beautiful, I will never let you get up early and return late every day, even if you have to suffer from the cold to work." Saying that, Ping'an had already taken Yunzhu's hand and said, "I will definitely let you live a good life." I'll take care of things at home. This money is enough to buy a larger shop, and when the time comes, you can open a restaurant as much as you want, and ask someone to help you take care of it. Leave these things at home to Mengzi. ”

"Sure enough, you've planned to escape."

"I'm sorry!" Ping An sincerely apologized, he knew that Yunzhu understood him, so he had to persuade Yunzhu to accept this, and then Yunzhu would explain it to his mother.

"I'll tell you the truth, a few years ago, I thought about going out of Huaishu Village to break outside, but I can't rest assured that I can't go home, and there is no way on the plane, so it's just a matter of thinking. Meeting General Zhao is fate, it is the meaning of God, since there is such an opportunity, I also want to go out to see, a few days ago, I have not dared to tell you, but I have not made up my mind, but it makes you bother. ”

"You're like that, if you don't tell me anything, just let me think nonsense there. I'm still wondering if you have a woman out there, all the time running away from me. ”

"How can I have ......," Ping An quickly defended.

He straightened Yunzhu's body and kissed her deep on her red lips.

The next day, when Yunzhu got up, the window was already white, and she remembered the presumptuous treatment of her at night, and her body and bones ached for a while. When I looked to the side, it was empty.

Yun Zhu was shocked, he wouldn't have left the house already, thinking that she couldn't lie down anymore, so she got up. He put on his clothes and opened the door. I saw Mrs. Feng clearing the snow in the yard.

Yunzhu hurriedly asked, "Mother, where is peace?" ”

Feng Lao Niang said: "He went to Liu's house and said that he wanted to discuss something with Mengzi. Feng Lao Niang waved the broom and swept it twice, and then asked Yunzhu again: "Ah Zhu, do you say there is any way to leave peace?" ”

Yunzhu shook his head and said, "I don't have an idea. ”

Feng Lao Niang swept angrily, and read in her mouth: "This unfilial son! This unfilial son! ”

Yun Zhu hurriedly went up and said to Feng Lao Niang: "Mother, I'll sweep it." ”

Old Lady Feng handed the broom to Yunzhu and said, "I'll feed the ducks." ”

Yunzhu took the broom and slowly swept the ground, but it swept very slowly, very slowly, every time she swept it, she was thinking about her peace, from that time she was rescued from the water to now, she remembered all the bits and pieces, she still remembered everything, will he forget? (To be continued.) )
