"Auntie, when will my mother come back for the New Year?" Seeing Li Zhou's mother Zhang Yuanyi coming back, Li Hansheng's eyes were full of envy, and he couldn't help but run over and ask.

Zhang Yuanyi looked at Li Hansheng's bright eyes, her eyes were full of expectation, and she sighed deeply in her heart.

"Hansheng, your mother won't come back for the New Year this year." As he spoke, he grabbed a large handful of candy and put it in Li Hansheng's hand, "Hansheng, you take these sugars and eat them, don't be sad, your mother will be back next year." ”

"Mom isn't coming back for the New Year?" Li Hansheng was stunned, his eyes quickly filled with tears, and he turned around and ran out suddenly.

"Thank you, Auntie, I don't want sugar."

Zhang Yuanyi looked at Li Hansheng who ran away, his eyes were full of pity.

"Alas, Fuying, no matter how difficult it is, you can't even come back for the New Year, I feel distressed when I see my child like this..."

……

Li Hansheng hugged the pillar, his face pressed against it, sobbing, tears flowing down like water. Thinking that I can't see my mother this year and can't celebrate the New Year with my mother, I can't suppress my crying anymore. Although he understands that Lin Fuying must have a hard time not coming back for the New Year, he really misses her very much. I looked forward to it day after day, but I was looking forward to such a news, Li Hansheng's grievances and sadness this year suddenly came up, turned into tears, howled and cried, and soon a large piece of wet patches on the pillar and on the ground.

"Hansheng, what are you crying here, it's time to herd the cattle." Grandpa's reprimanding voice came.

"It's nothing, I'll go right away." Li Hansheng wiped his face with his sleeve and led the big black bull to the mountain. The big black bull obediently followed, it felt that Li Hansheng was in a bad mood, and knew that if he dared to go against Li Hansheng at this time, there was a high probability that he would die miserably.

"A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, and my old cow is not stupid." The big black bull squinted proudly, watched Li Hansheng stop, and immediately found the grass and gnawed it.

……

On the night of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there was no sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, no fireworks, and no mother by his side, Li Hansheng was in a low mood and went to bed early. He tossed and turned on the bed, his eyes red.

A red envelope appeared in front of him, "Hansheng, this is the New Year's money given to you by the eldest sister, I hope you will study hard and get into a good high school." ”

"Big sister!"

Li Hansheng sat up in surprise, "Why are you here?" I took the red envelope happily, and I couldn't wait to open it immediately to see how much it was.

Li Hong touched Li Hansheng's head and said with a gentle smile: Fool, I'm your sister, this Chinese New Year, my aunt hasn't come back, I definitely want to come over. “

"You study hard, my aunt will definitely come back for the New Year next year."

"Uh-huh!" Li Hansheng nodded vigorously, "Thank you, eldest sister!" ”

After the eldest sister left, Li Hansheng excused himself and went outside to open the red envelope, thirteen yuan, and his heart was full of emotion. You must know that the most money in the village for children is only five yuan.

……

"Grandpa, I went to visit the New Year today, I have no clothes to wear, here are all old clothes, all torn."

"Hansheng, your mother didn't send money back, where is the money to buy you clothes. If you want to pay New Year's greetings, you should first take your second uncle's coat and wear it. Grandpa smoked, ignoring Li Hansheng's pleading gaze.

"Hold the grass, why is it so stinky, how long has it been since I washed this clothes. No wonder the second uncle is still a bachelor at such an age. Li Hansheng pinched his nose and endured it again and again.

"I can't bear it anymore, it's so stinky." Li Hansheng threw off his clothes, searched and searched in his pile of torn clothes, and finally found a relatively new one, which was a red and white winter school uniform, which was given to him by his cousin Lin Zhangmin, but the zipper was broken, and it was a little short to wear.

"It's short, it's short, it's good to wear without a zipper, and it's better than wearing big, smelly clothes."

……

Coming out of his aunt's house for the New Year, Li Hansheng covered his clothes with his hands, and with the red envelope he just got in his pocket, he walked on the road excitedly. Suddenly seeing two familiar figures in front of him, one big and one small, Li Hansheng was overjoyed, raised his hand, and wanted to say hello. However, when I saw the ugly school uniform with a broken zipper on my body, which was obviously too short, my heart was full of ups and downs, and I struggled. Finally, he stopped the "forest" that was about to exit, put down his hand to say hello, and instead pulled up his clothes to cover his face and quickly overtook him from behind.

"Li Hansheng!" Lin Zi shouted in surprise, "Strange, why did Li Hansheng stop his face?" Didn't he see me? “

However, the figure in front of him ran faster, and Lin Zi was about to chase after him, but was pulled by his mother. She struggled a few times and didn't break away, and turned her head to look at her mother in confusion, her eyes red.

"Lin Zi, don't chase him, Li Hansheng doesn't want you to see him now, don't embarrass him."

"Why, I have a good relationship with Li Hansheng, he is my good friend! We haven't seen each other for so long, why doesn't he want to see me? ”

"It's just that the relationship is very good, so he is even more reluctant to see you now."

"Why?" Lin Zi's beautiful eyes were full of tears of grievance, "I don't understand!! “

"In a few years, you'll understand." Xiao Peiqing held her daughter in her arms, looked at the figure in front of her who was running away in a hurry, and suddenly remembered what her husband had said on the rooftop that day, and was in a trance.

"Well, in a few years, you may not know each other." Xiao Peijing thought of the black, thin but energetic boy two years ago who firmly protected his daughter in the face of danger, and sighed in her heart, "Han Sheng, do you know whether others respect you has nothing to do with the clothes on your body, only whether you have a strong heart, how can Lin Zi and I care about whether your clothes are worn out or not?" It's a shame.

"Mom, what are you talking about?"

"It's nothing, let's hurry up and walk home, it's too cold outside." Xiao Peijing hugged her daughter in her arms tightly and quickened her pace.

"I want to eat a popsicle, Mom." Lin Zi's tears finally flowed, "Why isn't it summer now, if it's summer, Li Hansheng will buy a popsicle to coax me not to be angry, he promised me." "Uh......h Woo...... why, why did he cover his face and run, why did I tell him that he shouldn't run faster? The Li Hansheng who was so scared that he still stood in front of me, the Li Hansheng who secretly let me play chess, the Li Hansheng who made an agreement with me, the Li Hansheng who protected myself but was bitten by a dog, the Li Hansheng who said that he would not forget when he parted, that ......, where did he go? I don't understand!

……

Snowflakes fluttered and fell, and the first snow of 2006 came suddenly.

It's snowing!
