Sycamore Falls Chapter 48. Frost and snow covered the sky
The north wind swept the ground and folded the grass, this is not Hu Tian, but it is also close to the solar terms of the winter solstice, the snow has come to the world as promised, dyeing the blue bricks and gray tiles with pure colors, there is nothing between the heaven and the earth, the sound of people and dogs, the dog barks far away, it is the quietest moment in the township.
Yining has been in his hometown for two months, harvesting the autumn scenery, persimmons wrapped in straw or dried into cakes for storage, but there is no grain into the warehouse, he did not take care of the situation in midsummer, the countryside is indeed barren, now can only grow winter radishes and cabbage, looking forward to an early harvest.
The village school has already had a winter vacation, and now the campus is also locked up, before that, as a resigned teacher, he can't teach more in a proper capacity, although the children are very close to his local big brother, he mostly completes the diary at home to plan the next new novel.
In the past two months, he has lived a very happy life, Gu Fang accompanied Tiantian, in Huanglong Township's Tianxin Kindergarten, he occasionally picked up, after getting the household registration certification, his hanging heart has also been put down, and after discussing with Gu Fang, he decided to move to Baiyun City before the New Year, to give Tiantian a good learning environment.
"A-Ning, go home for dinner! Don't dig the ground, there's a guest at home, Lao Ke has come to see you! Gu Fang's voice came from a distance and flew into Ke Yining's ears.
He put the hoe in the ground, drank the tea in the thermos cup, and then rushed home, now in the age, there is no need to worry about someone stealing, who has not a hoe, most of them are well-off.
Before he reached the side door, he saw Ke Mu in a black jacket striding like a meteor, blocking him in the narrow stone road, looking at Ke Mu's excited appearance, he really couldn't guess what happened, making him so happy.
"Old Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're a lot thicker!" Ke Mu patted him on the shoulder and said excitedly.
"Hey, who told me to have a good woman in my family, you, it's time to get married, and I'll write words for you when the time comes, so as to make some limelight!" Yining said with a smile.
"Then thank you, brother, I didn't listen to you, this went to the city on a blind date, didn't this kidnap a beautiful woman back, this time I brought her back, I want you to palm, after all, I don't even have relatives, only you friends, you must give me strict checks!"
"By the way, Fang Fang asked me to make a new tablet for Grandma Wu, I have already made it, and when we go to Gaodong Village later, I will change it for her, I have a cart, oh, and my little motorcycle, it is not troublesome at all!"
Ke Mu smiled, and he also smiled: "You bother, what are your plans this time, is it also to settle home in Baiyun City?" ”
"Yes, it depends on you, I really want to be a neighbor to you, there are friends who can talk in one place, and Tiantian this girl is here, I feel happy when I think about it, I am not short of money now, but I have to thank those sons who reward me with food, but the most grateful is my master, without him there would be no me!"
"Yes, his old man is a real craftsman, Ke Mu, you can't forget it, come back a few times a year to see him, don't let anyone pass through that mountain and do some damage or something!"
"Hey, I'm going to apply to the city and township, it's more than enough for me to become a scenic spot where I live, my master's decades of creative efforts, worthy of being seen by more people, before that, there are people to protect, after all, I accepted an apprentice whose status is also reasonable, just right, related to this cultural protection!"
"Then you are really lucky, it just so happened, we have contacted a real estate agent in the city, it was opened by my classmate, and when the time comes, you can go with me, he will not cheat the old classmate!"
……
The conversation was very pleasant, but he had forgotten to eat at the beginning, and Gu Fang's slightly resentful voice came again: "A-Ning, come into the house to eat, Tiantian is hungry, I can't wait for you to move your chopsticks, come back quickly!" ”
He sighed and said, "Fangfang, I'll be back right away to entertain my younger brothers and sisters." ”
"Old Tang, blame me, let you be scolded by your sister-in-law, Tiantian, this child is very sensible, I hope that there will be a child like her in the future!" Ke Mu blamed himself.
Stepping on the icy snow, the footprints of the two became clear seals, but before long, they were covered in fresh snow, and the warm room and the outside were completely opposite worlds.
The bright yellow incandescent lamp was lit, illuminating the originally dark and deep tiled house, and there were already two beautiful women sitting in the corner on the square table, in addition to the arms bowing down to the table in contemplation, with a look of anticipation, there was also a goose egg face, wearing a blue and white velvet beautiful woman.
"Brother Tang is back, sister-in-law has been waiting for you for too long, you have all gone to the kitchen to heat the dishes, Ke Mu, I know that it was a good thing you did, when will you stop talking, we are guests!" The woman laughed.
"Oh, Xia Yu, it's my fault, I forgot what you asked, blame me!" Ke Mu immediately admitted his mistake.
Looking at the intertwined eyebrows of these two people, he was inconvenient to interject, but he heard Xia Yu say: "Brother Tang, let me introduce myself to you, my name is Xia Yu, Xia of summer, rainy rain, graduated from Qingzhou Normal College, is the younger sister of Senior Sister Su Yuan, we have seen it, but Brother Tang may have forgotten." ”
"You are Xia Yu, no wonder, I feel a little familiar, it turns out that I know each other. Since this is the case, then I am more assured, the little kite's vision will not be bad, Ke Mu, where do you need me to close, the conditions of Xia Yu are the best, you can rest assured! Yining smiled.
"I'll just say, I'm a lonely person, and I actually succeeded in going on a blind date, or thanks to your blessings, it's my luck to meet you in my life!" Ke Mu laughed.
"Let's eat first, let's talk later, you see Sister Fangfang is working so hard, and delaying time, this dish is back in the pot again, it's not very fresh!" Xia Yu mentioned again.
"Hey, what are you talking about, how happy you are as a family, come on, freshly baked hot dishes, let's eat together!" Gu Fang took off her apron and said with a smile.
The visit of his old friend made him very happy, and so did Gu Fang, and the banquet of Qi Le was also happy, and after sending the sweet gift to Uncle Tang, the group went up the mountain in order, by car or on foot.
When Gu Fang and he returned to the silent village, Ke Mu had already crossed them and returned to the city from another road, leaving plenty of space for the two of them to leave on his own.
"Grandma, Fangfang has come to see you..."
Gu Fang was not sad, he just talked to the wilderness by himself, sad to the point of relief and profoundness, as if he was an ordinary word, stating the experiences over the years, he couldn't disturb it, he had to look at the empty and white world, looking into the distance.
"I've had a good life all these years, grandma, you don't have to worry about my life, I've found someone worthy of my life, and ah, my biological father loves me very much and thinks about me in everything..."
After whispering for a long time, Gu Fang prepared the incense, candles, paper and money, and led him to worship: "Grandma, I brought your grandson-in-law, you know him, it is Ah Ning, who often came to my house to play when he was a child, you have to bless us in the spirit of heaven, everything goes smoothly, and we are healthy..."
"Grandma Wu, I got Fangfang back, I didn't break my promise, I will care for her for the rest of my life, in recent years, I will marry her as my wife, and make her the happiest woman in the world..."
The sparse snowflakes flew down in a stream, staining the tips of the hair between the two of them, such a crystal pure snow, reflecting Gu Fang's bright black pepper eyes more and more affectionately, the two went hand in hand, the mountain in the distance still had firelight, as if it would never be extinguished, Xu was the deceased who heard their pious hearts, and blessed their pair of lovers with burning hearts.
"Aning, I want to tell you one thing, one thing about my life experience, as your wife, I have the obligation to give you everything I have, let me tell you a story..."
On a snowy night more than twenty years ago, it was a colder and colder night than now, the morning light was not showing, the white reflected in the snow was very faint, and a young and thin woman with the child in her arms struggled forward.
"Stop, don't run! You little girl's skin is quite powerful, we have been chasing us for so long, come over obediently, or give you a gun to eat, who let your dead ghost husband ruin our plan! ”
"Hehe, boss, this woman looks good, or let's have one, well, you're the boss, you come first, just leave the brother to drink the soup......"
When she reached the edge of the slope, the woman did not say a word, but rolled down and fell into the valley, but she guarded the child in her arms tightly, and the soft snow gave her an excellent cushion, and although she was reddened by the branches, she was not seriously injured.
She carried the child in her arms to the natural cave where the fruits and vegetables were stored, and thanks to the kindness of the big dog, after barking a few times, she recognized the lovely child, covered it with stumps, and covered it with rotten leaves, and then she walked out of the snow and never returned.
"That woman is my mother, I was picked up by my grandmother on the other side of the mountain, A-Ning, my mother is very great, she died fighting against gangsters in order to save me..."
"I used to hate snow very much, and I would think of my mother when I touched the scene, but now I want to open it too, and it's all a trick of fate. Heaven and earth are in order, I can't ignore the present and the future because of the past, she likes snow, I, as a mother, must also learn from my own mother, and face it bravely and strongly! ”
"Fangfang, in fact, I used to hate snow too, I have been staying at home and not going out to see, just because my father ran away in the snow, no matter what I called him, he didn't look back, and now he hasn't looked back, now that I'm older, I also know why they made that decision in the first place, and when we walk home, I'll tell you slowly..."
The white snow was incomplete, and the six- or four-edged entangled snow masses were inseparable from each other, returning from the sky to the earth that had nurtured them, and two small shadows left some dense and shallow footprints in the deep snow.
The north wind was blowing, but it was not very cold, holding Gu Fang's hand, Yining felt a burst of warmth.
The sky and the earth were full of crystals, and he suddenly kissed Gu Fang's forehead, picked her up, and spun around in the snow.
"Gu Fang, I love you!" He confessed affectionately.
"I love you too!" Gu Fang replied.
The eyes are facing each other, the eyelashes are crystal clear, and in this snowstorm, the hearts of the two are closer.
