Chapter 42 The Wind and the Sun Are Beautiful

The rain of Feifei for nearly half a month soaked the earth to rot, but fortunately, today it is finally the scorching sun. The scorching breath quickly dried the damp mud, and because there was a wisp of breeze that carried away the hot and humid breath, it was a little cool.

Unlike lazy as before, the boy got up early today. I walked with my father on the road that was still a little muddy in the morning, went to the forest outside the village, and cut down a lot of bamboo and trees. At this time, the father and son were sweating like rain standing in the open space outside the door, chopping the long logs they had brought back from time to time and again into firewood, and the piles around them were as high as a hill, and it was more than enough to see that this posture was more than enough for a few months.

"Stinging ......."

The young man's expression was focused, and he used the machete with a long arm to first cut a long purple void bamboo into several sections, and then split each section of the bamboo tube separately and split it apart. Wiping the sweat drops on his cheeks, Xu Han raised his head and stood still for a while. The father on the side was still wielding the big axe, venting his strength at the waist-thick giant tree.

He Nu smiled and walked out of the hall with broken steps, holding a bowl of boiling water in one hand and a wet towel soaked in cold water in the other hand and walked to her son.

"Come, wipe your sweat first, drink saliva and rest. She said as she looked at the boy gently.

Xu Han took the coarse porcelain bowl and showed a little reluctance, "Mother, this water is still hot, I want to drink cold water!" He Nu glanced at the young man slightly, and replied without saying anything, "Don't mess around! How can you drink cold water, what should you do if you hurt your body?"

Xu Han knew that it was useless to resist, so he pouted and reluctantly drank the tea bowl. Then he craned his neck and let his mother help him wipe the sweat from his face. Xu Shan, who saw this scene of deep love between mother and son, was a little surprised, and said sourly, "Hey, hey, hey, don't patronize and take care of your son, my sweat is no less than this little cub, and I am also thirsty, why don't you bring me a bowl of water!"

"There's something in the house, you have to drink it yourself!" He Nu replied angrily, and only cared about wiping it carefully for her son.

Xu Shan raised his head and pointed to the true yang in the sky that was emitting immeasurable light, and said to his wife, "Hey, do you see if today's sun is poisonous?"

"Okay, what's wrong?" replied absentmindedly, without moving her head.

"You woman is even more vicious than it!" Xu Shan, who was indifferent, finally broke out, threw down the big black axe in his hand with a bang, and the old man who jumped roared angrily!

"Hahaha......." The conversation between the parents was so funny that the teenager couldn't hold back his laughter, and he didn't stop laughing even when his stomach hurt!

A few wisps of burnt smell suddenly wafted in the house, and the girl roared when she heard it, and she didn't care about teaching her humble husband a lesson, so she hurriedly rushed back to the house, leaving only the father and son looking at each other.

Xu Shan saw that the smile on his son's face was still there, and he couldn't help but be angry, snatched the sweat towel from the young man's hand, wiped his face a few times, and then only said two words in a muffled voice, "Eat!" and then only left a back for the young man. Xu Han shrugged helplessly, showed an innocent expression, and then followed into the house.

There was a big package leaning against the side of the door, and the colorful animal skin was wrapped very tightly, and Xu Han didn't look at it. just looked at the full dishes on the table, a trace of inexplicable sadness flashed in his eyes, and then he shouted excitedly,

"Wow! It's so abundant today!"

He Nu brought the last dish over, and looked at the already full table, so she had no choice but to pile the dish on top of the other plates. Then he habitually nodded his son's nose, and said pityingly, "Han'er has worked hard today, this is for your mother's ......"

Xu Shan was addicted to his son's flying vinegar today, and asked angrily, "Is there nothing wrong with me?"

The mother and son didn't hear it, and they just talked and laughed happily while eating. Xu Shan was depressed and self-indulgent as he pounded the dry rice in the bowl, and he had no appetite for grievances.

In the end, the table full of food was swept away by Xu Han, and he leaned on the edge of the table with his head supported by his hands, squinting slightly and smiling pleasantly. He Nu and Xu Shan looked at their son, looking at Xu Han, who was already a teenager from a toddler...., they were also smiling, talking about some interesting things about their son's childhood, recalling the wonderful time when the husband and wife couldn't stop smiling, Xu Han was also happy to shed a little bit of crystal.

The sunlight slanted into the house, and the family of three was bathed in bright light and shadow, carving this laughter into the last eternity........

How I wish that time could stay forever at this moment, so that the boy who has everything at this time will be happy forever....forever simple.....

It's a pity that the years are like a river, and I don't give up the flow of the sun and the moon to go to the unknown distance.....

The three of them stood up at the same time, and the father gave a big halche, "I got up early today, I'm a little sleepy, I'll go back and rest first!" With that, he left the table and walked into his bedroom with He Nu without looking back.....

The mother smiled, ignoring her father's words, and she lowered her head to clean up the mess on the table.....

The boy turned and walked to the door, picking up the large large animal skin package by the door. stood silently for a long time, and then didn't look back, just tilted his head slightly and said with a smile, "Mother, Han'er went out to play for a while......"

"Hey!" replied the girl, "remember to go early and come back early......," she said softly.

The boy nodded and replied heavily, and then carried the package against the light, leaving a thin back. On this ordinary day, Xu Han ...... walked out of the house......

......................

He walked through the never-fading stone road, he walked through the green courtyard, he walked through the ditch where the clear water depended, he walked through the mottled wells, he walked through the rows of earthen houses, he walked through the memory of eight years, he walked out of this village ...........

Outside the village, the old tree that does not know how old it is still silently accompanying the people who live here. It may be very old, but until the moment it withers, it will still stand in this land, this place where it was born and raised, it does not have to go far, which is so enviable.....

A small figure under the ancient tree waited boredly, and I didn't know how long I had been waiting. Finally, she saw the young man, and she jumped and ran into the young man's arms with a small bag on her back with a bulge!

Xu Han looked at the smiling little girl in a daze and didn't say anything for a long time, and let Xiying kiss him on the cheek affectionately. He looked back behind him, but it was empty......

"Xiying, what are you doing in this place?, what about your father?" the boy asked.

The little girl fluttered her big eyes, blinked her long eyelashes, and the breeze lifted her eyebrow-level bangs, "Daddy and mother let Xiying wait for her husband here!" The little girl said crisply, "They said that the old man wanted to take Xiying to play in the high mountains!"

The young man pursed his lips, looked at the little girl's simple eyes, didn't know what to say, squeezed out a reluctant smile and said, "But my husband may have to go to the high mountains to play for a long time, Xiao Xiying will not see her father and mother for a long, long time, will you be afraid?"

The little girl looked at the young man blankly, she didn't know how long her husband was talking about it, could it be that the sun rose and set for so long?

Suddenly, she suddenly hugged Xu Han's neck and hugged her so tightly......

On a quiet summer afternoon, the young man took the bag that the little girl was carrying and gently patted her back.

He looked at the village bathed in light and shadow, and suddenly his vision blurred, and the village in front of him seemed to be hidden in an ethereal cloud, and the eight years that had passed in a hurry seemed to be just a beautiful dream. Now, it's time to wake up.....

They were on their way, and the boy walked slowly, as if he wanted to spend the rest of his life on the journey. But the scenery around him swept backwards so quickly, the criss-crossing ridges, the misty lakes, and the messy mine pits were already behind him in the blink of an eye.....

The young man stood on a high place with the little girl in his arms, and only one step..... only one step into the mountain forest. Xu Han looked back again, he vaguely saw a group of figures in the village, he seemed to see his father and mother waving to him again,

I saw the old ancestor.....

I saw Uncle Nie......

I saw Uncle Tie Hong......

I saw Master Nie Yun.....

I saw Uncle Qiu and Sister-in-law Qiu......

I saw Aunt Xiang and Uncle Fengzi.....

I saw everyone in the village....

Xu Han smiled and brushed away the crystals from the corners of his eyes, and then walked into the forest without looking back with Xiying in his arms.

Since then, home has become a distant ......
