Life in Ping'an Town is very simple, after dinner, everyone rests early, but Chen Ping'an quietly goes out with a book on his back.

He promised Tian Jiu'er during the day that he would give her some of the sage books he treasured to read, but he couldn't let others know Tian Jiu'er's whereabouts, so he could only go to the bamboo forest at this time.

In fact, as soon as Chen Ping'an closed the chai door here, Zhu Ji had already noticed that if the Yuanying Monk deliberately paid attention to an ordinary person, then the other party's every move would be known.

"Chen Ping'an is here."

Zhu Ji said to Tian Jiu'er.

"So early."

Tian Jiu'er is teasing the crickets with bamboo leaves, she is simple and innocent, even in the empty bamboo forest, she can find a little fun of herself.

It didn't take long for Chen Ping'an to appear outside the bamboo house, Tian Jiu'er ran out to greet him, and then said angrily: "I brought so many books, I can't finish reading them at once, and you are tired of carrying it, so bring a little less next time." ”

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ping'an replied sullenly: "Got it." ”

"Jiu'er is such a kind child."

In the thatched hut, Zhu Ji thought silently.

"Huh?"

Immediately, Tian Jiu'er's somewhat surprised voice came: "What is this?" ”

"Red, sweet potato."

Chen Ping'an replied dryly: "You can eat." ”

It turned out that when he was cleaning in the morning, Chen Ping'an found that there was nothing here, and he was worried that Tian Jiu'er and the fierce aunt would have no food, so he brought his own sweet potatoes over.

In fact, Zhu Ji has long stopped eating these worldly grains, even Tian Jiu'er has passed the grain period, but Chen Ping'an does this, which shows that this honest child will still care about others.

"Jiu'er is kind."

Zhu Ji commented in her heart: "Chen Ping'an, it's not bad!" ”

······

In this way, Zhu Ji and Tian Jiu'er lived in the bamboo forest, and Chen Ping'an's life also had one more item - to go to the bamboo house to find Tian Jiu'er.

Chen Ping'an doesn't know why, she is very free and comfortable when she is with Tian Jiu'er, probably she won't be like the neighbor playmate in the town, she always likes to bully herself.

Spring and autumn and winter, more than a year has passed in a blink of an eye, Ping'an Town is still peaceful and tranquil, and Chen Ping'an has grown up a lot.

One afternoon, the fifth aunt saw Chen Ping'an walking towards the bamboo forest with a book on his back.

"Peace."

The fifth aunt asked with concern, "Are you going to study in the mountains again?" ”

"Aang."

Chen Ping'an, who was carrying a book, replied, he still didn't know how to speak.

"Peace, you don't need to work so hard to study, if your eyes are uncomfortable, remember to take a break."

The fifth aunt earnestly admonished in the back.

In the past year, Chen Ping'an often took books to the bamboo forest to read aloud, and the villagers in the town did not think it was strange, he was originally a child who loved to learn.

"If only the tiger had worked so hard."

The fifth aunt looked at Chen Ping'an's back with a smile, but looking at it, she suddenly remembered something.

"Peace······ It'll be sixteen next year! ”

The fifth aunt patted her thigh: "I can marry a daughter-in-law in two years, Ping An has a good temper, and his appearance is so delicate, I have to tell him a suitable family, otherwise don't be bullied." ”

······

Just as the fifth aunt was planning Chen Ping'an's marriage, Chen Ping'an had already come to the outside of the thatched house.

In fact, it is strange to say, there are many hunters in Ping'an Town, and the bamboo house is not deliberately hidden in a remote corner, but except for Chen Ping'an, no one else has found it here.

"Brother Ping'an, Brother Ping'an, Brother Ping'an······"

Before Chen Ping'an could put down his book, Tian Jiu'er's light figure appeared.

"Jiu'er."

Chen Ping'an greeted with a smile.

I forget when Tian Jiu'er began to call Chen Ping'an "Brother Ping'an", and Zhu Ji did not object when she heard it.

If you only look at it from the perspective of age, this title is not wrong, Tian Jiu'er is originally one year younger than Chen Ping'an.

If it is from the identity family background······

But what kind of family background is there at this time, maybe two or three years later, Tian Jiu'er will return to her father, and Chen Ping'an can only stay in this town forever, probably marry a daughter-in-law, and then have a few children, and the whole life will pass like this.

Therefore, now as long as Tian Jiu'er likes it, and the young man and woman have no over-the-top behavior together, Zhu Ji does not interfere with Tian Jiu'er and Chen Ping'an's relationship.

In fact, one of these two people is honest and honest, the other is simple and naïve, they are young, what can they behave exceedingly?

"Brother Ping'an."

Tian Jiu'er sat down next to Chen Ping'an, and said happily: "Do you remember the plum blossom in the stone wall?" ”

"Yes."

Chen Ping'an smelled the fragrance on Tian Jiu'er's body and blushed slightly.

"It bloomed this morning!"

Tian Jiu'er's eyes were curved like crescent moons.

"Shibi Lamei" was accidentally discovered by Chen Ping'an and Tian Jiu'er, it grows between two bare stone walls, the roots are shallow buried in the soil, only nourished by rain, and a flower bone actually emerges tenaciously.

Chen Ping'an and Tian Jiu'er were very surprised, especially Tian Jiu'er, she had to go to see it once a day, and she didn't plan to use her spirit to urge her, she just wanted to see the natural blooming appearance of this plum blossom.

It's a pity that Chen Ping'an is too dull, if he changes to someone who can speak well, at this time he praises "What if it blooms, it's not as beautiful as Jiu'er anyway", which guarantees that he can coax Tian Jiu'er very happy.

But Chen Ping'an, although he was also very happy in his heart, he would only reply honestly: "That's good······"

Fortunately, Tian Jiu'er had adapted to Chen Ping'an's clumsiness, she didn't care at all, and grabbed Chen Ping'an's arm and said, "Hurry up, I'll take you to see!" ”

"I ······ Wait a minute······ You ······"

Chen Ping'an felt that such a move was too intimate, and he planned to break free, but he felt the tender and gentle touch on his wrist, and he couldn't say anything about the words on his lips, so he let Tian Jiu'er pull him to run in the bamboo forest.

At this time, Zhu Ji, who was meditating in the grass hut, suddenly opened her eyes, looked at Chen Ping'an and Tian Jiu'er who were holding hands, and frowned slightly.

However, Tian Jiu'er didn't think about it so much, she waited eagerly for a morning, just to share the good news with Chen Ping'an, and she didn't let go until she got to the stone wall.

"Brother Ping'an, I didn't lie to you, Lamei is really blooming."

"The white petals are so beautiful."

"I've come to see it several times today."

"Hey, Brother Ping'an, why are you so red, are you sick?"

Tian Jiu'er spoke very quickly, and threw out a lot of questions at once.

Chen Ping'an finally suppressed the heartbeat of "bouncing", and stammered back: "I, I'm fine, look at the flowers." ”

······

This is the daily life of Chen Ping'an and Tian Jiu'er, it is nothing more than the plum blossoms, or a little squirrel is building a nest, or the water in the pond has dried up, and the poor little frog is forced to jump into another pond.

In fact, they are all trivial and ordinary things, but these two are very easy to satisfy the characters, so they are not bored at all, and they leave bits and pieces of memories.

Soon it was the end of the year, and there was a lot of snow in Tiangong Zuomei, and every household in Ping'an Town was full of lights, and Chen Ping'an was suddenly busy, as the only person in the town who could write couplets, his wrists were sore at the end of the day.

However, no matter how busy and tired he is, Chen Pingan will find time to find Tian Jiu'er every day, even if it is Chinese New Year's Eve.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Pingan finished eating dumplings at his fifth aunt's house, then went home and picked up a hairpin wrapped in red cloth, put it in his pocket and walked to the bamboo forest.

"Squeak~, squeak~"

When Chen Ping'an stepped on the snow and came to the outside of the bamboo house, Tian Jiu'er was already waiting at the door.

"Brother Ping'an!"

Tian Jiu'er waved as usual, she wore a white cotton coat today, and she was even more pink.

"Jiu'er, this is a gift······

When Chen Ping'an saw Tian Jiu'er, he hurriedly took out the red cloth bag from his pocket, but because he was a little nervous about giving a gift for the first time, he accidentally leaked the hairpin.

The gift fell in the snow, Chen Ping'an was suddenly a little cramped, but he didn't expect Tian Jiu'er to take the initiative to bend down and pick up this ordinary hairpin.

"Brother Ping'an, is this what you gave me?"

Tian Jiu'er blew the snowflakes on the hairpin and asked Chen Ping'an.

"Hmmm······"

Chen Ping'an's voice was like a mosquito.

"Smack!"

Tian Jiu'er directly pinned the hairpin to her forehead, then raised her head, her eyes flashed with bright light: "Brother Ping'an, is it good-looking?" ”

At this time, it coincided with the beginning of the new snow, the full moon was in the sky, the sky was flowing with bright silver, and the ground was tiled with bright shadows, Tian Jiu'er smiled like this, as if it was the third stunning color in addition to the moonlight and snow.

"Good looking ······"

Chen Ping'an just glanced at it and lowered his head deeply, not daring to look at each other.

The two stood face to face, and from time to time there were a few firecrackers in Ping'an Town, not far away, and the silence was appropriately broken.

This feeling is sweet and astringent, real and a little illusory, as if there is still a cloud of mist, if you want to find out the true heart in the mist, you may need some courage to get rid of it.

At present, neither of them has reached the moment to inspire this courage.

After a long time, Tian Jiu'er said quietly: "Brother Ping'an, do you know that before my mother died, she also gave me a hairpin on Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

In the past two years, Tian Jiu'er has never mentioned her family background, and Chen Ping'an didn't know how to comfort her for a while.

However, Tian Jiu'er seemed to just want to find someone to talk to, so she said to herself: "That's my most precious thing, although my father and Aunt Zhu all said that the fire fan is a real treasure." ”

Tian Jiu'er said as she took out a jade-colored hairpin from her arms.

This hairpin is translucent, so green that it seems to be about to condense water, and there are a few full and round pearls at the end of the hairpin, which is not many grades higher than the hairpin sent by Chen Ping'an.

"Brother Ping'an, I'll touch you."

Tian Jiu'er handed the emerald green hairpin to Chen Ping'an, and said very seriously: "Usually I don't even let my father touch it." ”

"Oh."

Chen Ping'an touched it carefully, and the moment his fingertips touched, the hosta lit up slightly as if it was psychic, but it was fleeting.

Maybe it's because of thinking of her mother, Tian Jiu'er is a little low tonight, Chen Ping'an doesn't know how to start the topic, he just quietly accompanies Tian Jiu'er, if she wants to speak, someone can hear it immediately.

"Chen Ping'an!"

Zhu Ji didn't know when she came behind them, and after looking at Chen Ping'an for a long time, she said loudly: "You go home." ”

Chen Ping'an turned his head, it was cold winter, Zhu Ji was still wearing the long black dress from two years ago, and the black veil on her face never seemed to be taken off.

"But ······"

Chen Ping'an wanted to say that Tian Jiu'er was in a bad mood, but this kind of caring words, his lips moved several times, and he still didn't express it.

"I know, you go back."

Zhu Ji seemed to understand what Chen Ping'an meant, and at this time, Tian Jiu'er also raised her head and said, "Brother Ping'an, you go back first, it's too late, be careful on the road, we'll see you tomorrow." ”

"Oh."

Chen Ping'an stood up at this time, and when he turned his head halfway and was not at ease, he saw that Tian Jiu'er was also looking at him in a daze, and his heart was a little more steady.
