Su Yu's car had been repaired, drove back, and was parked in the yard.

Her car was a dazzling red color, with sleek lines, like a raging flame between the snow as far as the eye could see.

A few children were curious about the car and kept walking around the car, looking at the car with curious eyes.

Seeing Su Yu and Huo Ran appear, the children laughed and dispersed.

Huo Ran took down a duffel bag from the back seat, which was a change of clothes brought by Su Yu.

Huo Ran said: "Children are curious about cars. ”

Su Yu smiled and looked at the children who had run away.

After the snow, the air was fresh and the tip of her nose was a little cold.

At noon, she habitually took a lunch break, and when she woke up, she walked out of the door lightly, just in time to see Huo Ran and Grandma Liu next door sitting on the bench, with a pot of charcoal in the middle of the two.

The black pot is reddish and warm.

Grandma Liu was collecting the soles of her shoes, and she talked to Huo Ran while putting the needle through the soles: "To be honest with grandma, is that girl in it the one you liked before?" ”

Huo Ran didn't speak, his back was to Su Yu, Su Yu couldn't see his face, only knew that he lowered his head slightly.

Grandma Liu smiled: "If you like it, you like it, I haven't seen you look for it again for so many years, I can't forget other girls, right?" ”

Huo Ran's voice was faint: "No." ”

"I think that girl is also good-looking, she has white skin, her eyes are very beautiful, and her personality looks good, which makes people hurt."

There seemed to be a smile in Huo Ran's voice, and it came slowly: "Really? ”

"What else am I pretending to be with my grandmother?" Grandma Liu looked at him and smiled, "This girl's family conditions should be good, right?" She said, glancing at the little red car in the yard.

"Hmm."

"Is she also a lawyer?"

"Hmm." Huo Ran raised his head, and his gaze fell on the courtyard.

Grandma Liu sighed: "I probably know a little bit about what happened to you back then, I don't blame your grandmother for objecting, she is worried that this girl's family looks down on you, the gap between the two people's families and identities is too big, and there is no way to get by." ”

"Fortunately, you are out of work now, you have become a barrister, and you are living well in the city, otherwise you can't let the good lady of the family follow you to live a hard life in our village, not to mention whether this girl can afford to endure hardship, as a man, you shouldn't let the family suffer."

Huo Ran was silent and did not speak.

For a while, Grandma Liu didn't speak, only the sound of the slight collapse of the sparks in the charcoal basin.

Grandma Liu continued to collect the soles, and after a while, asked, "Have you come back this time and gone to see your father?" ”

"I've seen it, and the day I came here passed by the way."

Grandma Liu sighed: "It's been so many years. She paused, "Did you go to see your mom later?" ”

"Nope." Huo Ran's voice sounded a little muffled.

"I've heard people say that she's not doing well there, and she seems to be sick."

Huo Ran narrowed his eyes slightly: "......"

Grandma Liu looked at Huo Ran again, hesitated for a long time, and asked, "Did you tell that girl about your parents?" Although it's not a shameful thing, we still have to make it clear to others first, we must be clear, frank, and clear, no matter what the result is, it is good. Ah Ran, you are not at all different from your parents, you are very good, and your parents are also evil......"

After Grandma Liu said this, she mentioned Huo Ran casually: "You should be good to other girls, but you shouldn't work too hard, sometimes a relationship can only accompany people for a while, other girls have a good family background and good conditions, and it is possible that sooner or later they will return to her circle and marry and have children with the right people." ”

The two fell silent.

The atmosphere was a bit heavy.

Huo Ran's fingers clenched tightly.

Su Yu didn't go out, she pursed her lips, still standing in place, her eyes were black and white, she had a lot of thoughts, and she didn't seem to think about anything.

When she came back to her senses, she found that her palm was buckled by her own nails, and it hurt a little.

Huo Ran's parents, she only knows the general situation.

When she was with him, he didn't take the initiative to mention it, and she didn't ask, because it seemed to her that it was all in the past; Later, she learned that these things were brought up piecemeal by her father when he was scolding her.

- "Su Yu, do you have any brains, are you with this poor boy?" What exactly is it about him that attracts you? ”

- "He is from the countryside, even if his family is poor, his family relationship is also messy, his father will be violent, his mother will cheat, and in the end, his father will be killed by his mother." ”

- "Su Yu, let me tell you, this violent gene will be inherited!" He Huo Ran will only be the second his father! I will never allow you to be with him, you can try, if you continue to entangle with him, I will leave him with nothing! Lost what he had now! Let this poor bastard never stand up again! ”

Su Yu took a deep breath and lowered his eyelashes, which trembled slightly.

Huo Ran was in the village, he had something to do almost every day, and in his free time, he usually went out to help the old people in the village repair things, and on the third day, seeing that he was going out, Su Yu also went out.

Huo Ran twisted his eyebrows: "It's a little cold outside, don't follow." ”

Su Yu's boots were soft when they stepped on the snow.

She said, "I want to follow you." ”

Huo Ran is going to see an old grandfather today, the electric lights in the old grandfather's house are broken, and he hasn't called anyone to repair them, but when he saw Huo Ran yesterday, he asked him for help.

The old man's house is in the middle of the mountain, and the road up the mountain is not easy to walk, a little rugged, and after the snow, it is still a little slippery.

Huo Ran said to Su Yu: "Grab my coat and be careful not to fall." ”

"Okay."

Su Yu's physical strength is very good, she has always been exercising, and she has been learning to dance since she was a child, climbing a mountain is very simple for her.

Su Yu looked around while climbing.

The sun was already out, and the light and shadow cast a whole patch of light on the snow through the snow-covered branches, overlapping each other.

Although the scenery is beautiful, the mountain on this side looks a little desolate, and there are no people around, perhaps there is only one family on the whole mountain.

Su Yu asked, "Why does he live in the mountains?" ”

Huo Ran snorted and laughed: "He opened a pig farm, and it is convenient to raise pigs in captivity on the mountain." ”

"Oh."

Huo Ran suddenly asked, "Have you ever been to such a remote place before?" ”

Su Yu smiled: "I've been to more remote places." ”

Huo Ran seemed to be interested, raised his eyebrows, and glanced at her.

Su Yu tilted his head and smiled.

Her hair was combed up, she wore a hat of a down jacket on her head, her fluffy fur collar covered her delicate and small goose egg face, and her forehead was smooth and full.

Because he was still climbing the mountain, his fair cheeks were dyed a thin layer of red.

Her dark eyes seemed to have water in them, cleaner and clearer than the snow in the mountains.

She said: "You know, my mother is a well-known philanthropist in City B, she is different from other philanthropists, in addition to donating a lot of money, she also likes to go to poor areas in person, when I was a child, I went to many places with her, although my mother loved me very much, but she hoped that I could have a helpful heart, the longest time, I lived with her in the southwest mountains for three whole months, helping my grandmother do things, sending clothes to children, and taking everyone to play games together." ”

She curled her lips: "However, I am not as kind as my mother, after my mother died, the charity she left behind is still in operation and will continue to do charity every year, but I have never been there in person." ”

Huo Ran looked at her eyes, and something flashed in his eyes.

He retracted his gaze and smiled: "That's right, you go with me to do good deeds now." ”

Su Yu's white hand continued to tug Huo Ran's coat and followed him closely.

Huo Ran listened to the overlapping footsteps of the two and Su Yu's subtle gasps, he only felt that his chest was gently pinched by a soft little hand.

Can't say what it feels like.

*

Finally climbed halfway up the mountain.

There is a large flat land formed by nature, and a stone house is located, the style is simple, the decoration is also simple, and the house also has a yard.

Huo Ran knocked on the door.

After a while, an old man opened the door.

The old man was dark-skinned, thin, with a kind smile and wrinkled face, but he looked energetic and capable.

He was wearing black cotton shoes, stepped on the ground, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed it to Huo Ran: "Ah Ran, come, smoke!" ”

Huo Ran was not polite to the old man, he took the cigarette and bit it in his mouth.

This kind of locally made smoke is particularly choking, and the taste is particularly strong, Huo Ran glanced at Su Yu.

When the old man took out a match and was about to light it for him, Huo Ran smiled and shook his hand: "No need, choke." ”

It's not the first day that the old man met Huo Ran, when Huo Ran was still a teenage hairy boy, he watched Huo Ran smoke, Huo Ran was young at that time, and he liked to smoke everything.

I've been smoking this cigarette for a long time, and I haven't choked on it for a long time.

Still, the girlfriend is present - you still have to pretend.

The old man glanced at Su Yu and pretended to say: "That's right, it's quite choking, Ah Ran, this kid behaves well, he usually doesn't like to smoke and drink, it's rare to smoke, and he will choke." ”

Huo Ran smiled.

Su Yu blinked, and the old man directly clicked on Su Yu: "Did you say it?" Ah Ran's daughter-in-law? ”

"Huh?"

Su Yu was stunned, his face was already a little red, and the flush was a little deeper.

Huo Ran's tone was calm, his eyebrows did not move, and he only said lightly: "Grandpa, don't talk nonsense, the little girl is thin-skinned and can't stand ridicule, she is not my daughter-in-law." ”

The old man smiled: "Okay, okay, no, no, no." ”

Su Yu pursed his lips, didn't say anything, and followed behind.

The old man moved a ladder, he held on to the ladder, Huo Ran took off his coat and handed it to Su Yu, he climbed the ladder in three or two clicks, raised his head slightly, his chin line was smooth, and the arc was beautiful.

The Adam's apple is somewhat protruding.

The old man's hand was on the handle of the ladder, and he looked at Su Yu with a smile: "Girl, you can call me Uncle Afu." ”

Su Yu also introduced himself: "My name is Su Yu, Uncle Fu. ”

Uncle Ah Fu smiled: "How long have you known us Ah Ran?" ”

How long have you known each other?

Su Yu pursed her lower lip, raised her eyelids, and inadvertently glanced at Huo Ran's side face, she replied softly: "It's been 9 years." ”

9 long years, 9 short years.
