In 2016, in a small county town on the border of Beihu Province in the northwest of Central China, there lived a man and a woman, one older and one young.

In this small county town with a population of about 350,000, these two people are so inconspicuous, the big one is a man who is about less than thirty years old, the man is very handsome, the facial contour is very three-dimensional facial features, slender and strong figure, in fact, such a handsome, and manly man is very attractive, of course, this is not the eye-catching place, the most attractive place is the man's silver-white shawl long hair, no matter where he goes, it is so eye-catching.

This year is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the county is full of the atmosphere of the New Year, in a somewhat dilapidated looking red brick house on the outer ring road of the small county town, there are two people, one large and one small, two people standing at the door, the man is holding a spring union with black characters on a red background in one hand, a brush in the other, is brushing paste on the door frame, and beside the man, stands a little girl who is only about five or six years old.

The little girl was very pleasant, with a pair of dark and shiny eyes, pink cheeks, two ponytails, and a small stainless steel basin, which was a white mess of paste.

After the man smeared the door frame with a brush dipped in paste, he put the brush into the basin held by the little girl, held a Spring Festival couplet in both hands, made a slight gesture on the door frame, and slapped the Spring Festival couplets on it.

The little girl's clear eyes looked at the man's movements, and when she found that the Spring Festival couplets were crooked, she immediately pursed her lips and said in a milky voice: "Dad, you are crooked." ”

The man turned his head, glanced at the little girl, took two steps back, looked carefully, and found that the Spring Festival couplets were indeed crooked, he touched his nose a little embarrassed, and then coughed dryly twice, and said: "It's okay, if it's crooked, it's crooked, and no one will see it anyway." ”

"Daddy...... The Spring Festival couplets are crooked. When the little girl heard the man say this, she didn't choose to back down, still pouting her small mouth and looking at the man's back.

The man turned his head and looked at the little girl condescendingly, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his face gradually became serious, the little girl didn't seem to be afraid of men, she looked up at the little head, looked at the man's eyes, and still said in a milky voice: "It's really crooked." ”

After the two looked at each other for a while, the man's originally tight cheeks suddenly bloomed with a bright smile, stretched out his hand, and remembered to rub the little girl's head, but was dodged by the clever little girl, the man had to withdraw his hand stupidly, turned around, lifted up the Spring Festival couplets that had just been pasted, and after careful comparison, re-pasted them, and then, turned around, looked at the little girl, and said helplessly: "My aunt, can it now?" ”

The little girl took two steps back with the basin, and after looking at it carefully, she made sure that it was not crooked, so she nodded old-fashioned and said, "Well, it's finally right." ”

The man looked at the little girl's big ghost, and became more and more helpless, he suddenly had an idea, walked in front of the little girl, stretched out a finger and dipped it in the basin, and then, with the tip of his finger, he tapped the little girl's nose a few times, took two steps back, and looked at the little girl laughing, like a child who had done something bad.

The little girl was stunned for a moment, then raised her head, glared fiercely at the man with long snow-white hair in front of her, and then, shaking her head, like a little old man, sighed heavily, and said in a milky voice: "Hey, what a child who doesn't grow up." ”

If there were others present, they must be very surprised, this sentence was not said by the man to the little girl, but by the little girl to the man, and it was said so naturally and casually, it was unimaginable that this little girl with white paste on her nose was actually only five years old, of course, after the New Year, she would be six years old.

The man was not embarrassed by the little girl's words, but laughed more and more happily, like a child who stole candy behind the adult's back.

Next, the two of them pasted another Spring Festival couplet and pasted a door painting on the door, and the man clapped his hands, looked at everything in front of him, nodded, and felt very satisfied.

"Hey, what a worrying child."

The girl's faint voice came from behind the man.

The man just wanted to turn around and say something to the little girl, a woman in her thirties walked in front of the family, and when she saw this scene, the woman stopped and said with a smile: "Yo, where are the two of you sticking Spring Festival couplets?" How? It's the two of you celebrating the New Year together this year? ”

Hearing the woman's voice, the man and the little girl turned around at the same time, and there was a harmless smile on their faces, this expression was simply carved out of a mold, and the little girl took the lead in speaking, and shouted sweetly at the woman Sister Zhang.

In fact, the woman is thirty-seven years old, and she is all a child, and the little girl should call her aunt, but when the woman heard the little girl shout like this, the woman, who was already full of bright smiles, smiled more and more brightly, and grabbed a large handful of candy from the bag she was carrying, handed it to the little girl, and said, "Yueyue is so good." ”

The little girl called Yueyue, holding the basin in both hands, couldn't pick up the candy, the woman also found this, walked a few steps to the little girl, stuffed the candy in her hand into the little girl's purse, and then stretched out her hand and rubbed the little girl's head, then raised her head and looked at the man who had been smiling and watching the scene.

The eyes of the two people looked at each other, the woman looked away as if she had been electrocuted, quickly looked away, her fair cheeks were full of redness, and she hesitated and said: "Xu Lang, you have been moving here for a few years, and it is your two grandfathers who celebrate the New Year every year, or come to our house this year for the New Year and have a reunion dinner together." ”

After saying this, the woman forcibly endured the shyness that should not have appeared at her age, and looked at the man with expectant eyes.

After all, she is a woman from a small county town, not as open as in a big city, and keeps a simple mind, she likes the little girl named Yueyue, and prefers this handsome man with a child.

"Sister Zhang, it's too troublesome, isn't it just the New Year, our two of us just made do with it at home, and the New Year's goods were bought anyway." The man, under the expectant gaze of the woman, politely refused.

Hearing the man say this, the smile on the woman's face suddenly froze, and the expression of loss could not be hidden, she lowered her head, stretched out her hand, and straightened out the green silk that was not messy, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Next, the two of them said some words that were not salty or light, nothing more than the woman asked the man what the shortcomings of the house were, whether he had bought all the things, if not, go to her house to get it, and finally, he proposed to let the man take the little girl to her house for the New Year, but the man politely refused, and in the end, the two of them really had nothing to talk about, so the woman left with her things.

The man saw the back of the woman leaving with her things, and it took a long time before he exhaled a long breath, obviously, he couldn't stand the enthusiasm of this Sister Zhang.

While the man and the woman were talking, the little girl had been standing quietly on the sidelines, silently watching all this, her smart eyes gurgling, not knowing what she was thinking, and occasionally a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The little girl's name is Xu Yueyue, she is five years old this year, and she will be six years old after the New Year, and the man with long snow-white shawl hair is called Xu Lang, and they came to live in this small county town called Zhuxi County one summer five years ago.

When the two of them first came, Xu Yueyue was still a baby, and Xu Lang hadn't grown long hair yet, but at that time, he was already a young man with a white head.

Over the years, Xu Lang has been alone, a handful of and urine, both a father and a mother, raising this little little bit, five years have passed in a flash, and the little girl has gradually grown up, but Xu Lang's snow-white hair, I don't know why, but it has never turned black, and Xu Lang doesn't know what to think, so he actually grew long hair.
