Sycamore Falls Chapter 50. The heart is white
The feast will be dispersed, when the snow stops piling up in the courtyard, it is already dawn rooster crowing, the sky is dark, occasionally you can hear the roar of the shuttle, piercing and kind, he sent away the two younger sisters who are studying, and returned to his house again with an umbrella.
He didn't like to use an umbrella, but he was extremely disgusted at all times except for the necessary shelter from the rain, just because of the rumors of outsiders that holding an umbrella would ruin his manhood. It is only now that he realizes that he pities himself, does not care about the guidance of others, and moves with his heart.
The fire in the hearth was still burning, and the drunken Gu Fang was sleeping sweetly, the child was already sleepy, not to mention that he was too happy yesterday, so he was getting too late, so he had to boil the kettle, browsing some interesting news and waiting.
"Mr. Tang, let's come!" There was a shout outside the door, and in an instant the snow was dappled with water.
The master who rushed to the scene the day before yesterday was already in place, they put the brand-new 24-inch LCD TV on the square table, put on hooked shoes and climbed to the high place of the electric pile to pull the line, and also walked on the white tile to find the best signal receiving position.
Professionalism coupled with light action, soon such a group of enthusiastic people refused the invitation to stay for dinner, and only collected a few cigarettes to say goodbye, the emotions between the villagers and neighbors came out, especially when taking care of business, the tone of the mouth of the broken foam was indeed heroic.
"Then we'll go first, and then install any electrical appliances, just come to us!"
"Okay, yes, go slower on the road!"
"Okay!"
There is no nonsense, they are straightforwardly dressed in red, and soon they will be as small as a fox exploring food, and disappear in the bend of the mountain in an instant, most of the people in the village have no entertainment, and they will naturally wake up early if they go to bed early, not to mention the current weather.
I don't know when Gu Fang also woke up, washing by the washing shelf with Tian Tian, the heat was flying, but it would lose its temperature soon after, Gu Fang scrubbed Tian Tian's face, and smeared a little Chunjuan, and then it was his turn.
When Tian Tian saw his father, he hurriedly ran to ask for his arms, he naturally understood, squatted in response, and then spun around, causing Tian Tian to shout happily.
It seems that all fathers love this way to express joy and love, and those carousel's dreams should be started from this, and it is not unreasonable that daughters are always close to their fathers, and they are close to the opposite sex in ancient times.
"A-Ning, you got up so early, you must not have washed your face, come on, you have to enjoy the hot water you boiled yourself!"
Gu Fang walked to the courtyard, took Tiantian, and started a new round of games, snow drawing, which is also a slightly poetic thing in the snowy weather in winter.
Soak in water and knead the handkerchief, the fragrant breath is profound, no longer the smell of stinky sweat in the past, he smiled, with the existence of Gu Fang, his life finally became colorful, unscrewed the twisted lid of Chunjuan, and also wiped his face that had not absorbed nutrients for many years, he suddenly remembered his sister Tang Ping, who said goodbye to him like this one night many years ago.
But at this moment, he has no time to reminisce, because Tian Tian called him and invited him to participate in the game of drawing, so he had to obey his fate, and the so-called daughter slave was probably the same.
"Dad, look at the plum blossoms painted by Tian Tian, beautiful!" Tian Tian pointed to the four frames of snow paper and said proudly.
"Beautiful, but, Tiantian, what is missing in your painting, do you know what it is?" He asked.
The sudden question made Tian Tian puzzled, she was obviously painted according to the teacher's teaching, although it was simple and realistic, she didn't know what was missing, so she asked: "Dad, isn't the plum blossom like this, then what is the difference?" ”
Gu Fang smiled when she saw the sad face: "Tian Tian is very good at painting, but the painting is too small, Tian Tian, if you take the snow falling on the mountains as a picture, then this natural painting will come alive, you have to see the vitality in the painting." ”
"So, Mother Fangfang, what is life force? I think my plum blossom paintings are very neat, and the teachers praise me! Tian Tian is still puzzled.
hugged Tian Tian, who was squatting on the ground and looking at the pictures, to his shoulders, and said, "Tian Tian, although Dad is not very good at drawing, but this vitality can be shown to you." ”
"Ah Huang, out of the mountain!"
The roar in his throat seemed to ignite the silence, and the screaming of the snow pine could be heard, and a gray and yellow shadow suddenly rushed out of the firewood house in the distance, and galloped like a rocket, and suddenly there were many plum blossom marks on the white snow paper in the distance, and he took Gu Fang's hand and marched straight there.
"Dad, it turns out that what the teacher said is not complete, this is vitality, I understand, there are traces called life, Ah Huang is the real great painter!" Tian Tian squatted in front of the messy plum blossom print, sniffing the smell.
Gu Fang picked up the side branches, made strokes and said: "Tiantian, it's not enough to have flowers, this flower has already been thanked, you have to hang branches on it, so that you can have a home and live." However, there are many ways to draw, but painting depends on people's moods, not necessarily so good. ”
"Well, I figured it out, Dad, do we have plum trees here, I want to see it with my own eyes, so I know how to draw it!" Smile sweetly, her eyes full of anticipation.
After thinking for a while, he picked up his daughter again and said, "Yes, the white plum planted by your aunt has already bloomed, and it is on the other side of the hillside, Dad will take you to see it!" ”
Stepping on the whirlwind footsteps, it was like a cloud driving the fog, and soon after laughing sweetly, Gu Fang had already been thrown far away.
"Hey, don't run fast, the road is slippery!" Gu Fang shouted.
"Fangfang's mother, my father and I are waiting for you over there, you come quickly!"
Silent, Gu Fang had to sigh and laugh, and then gathered strength to move forward, mountaineering in the snow is indeed an extremely physically demanding activity, not to mention that she has not eaten yet, at this moment, she has not had time to hand over the peach slices in her pocket in time, Tian Tian is too excited.
There is a white plum planted on the mountainside, it is true that he has bloomed buds, the fragrance lingers in the spleen, which makes people feel refreshed, Tian Tian has taken off his little gloves, and depicted it in his small book with a pencil, and Yining is looking at the tree in a daze.
"A-Ning, come and take a hand, come and pick up Miss Ben!" Gu Fang was already a little out of breath, and he knew that he had done something wrong.
"Fangfang, I shouldn't have run in such a hurry, I've hurt you, do you want me to pinch the eldest lady's shoulder and make amends?" He had already started before he could say yes, and the proper technique was obviously trained in a good manner, which was a common way of making amends between them.
"It's nothing, it's all for the sake of the children, I understand, you just need to keep this heart all the time, as your wife, you should be considerate." Gu Fang said with a smile.
"Fangfang's mother, can you help us take a picture? I'll shoot it for you later! Tian Tian stood under the tree and shook the phone hanging on her chest.
"Okay, I'll listen to our little baby, everyone takes pictures, wait a while, find a good position, let the mobile phone take it automatically, and the three of us will also take a group photo!"
"Well, Dad will push you a big snowman later, so let him take pictures for us!"
"Yes, yes! But this time I'm going to draw his eyes, and I want to draw the life force! ”
The harmonious atmosphere makes the three of them happy, and the idle and idle two naturally put all their thoughts on Tian Tian, although the process of raising children is mostly distressing, but Tian Tian is also four years old, but there is no need to deal with it too much.
"Ah, cut, cough, cough, Dad, Tiantian is a little cold, I want to go home!"
"Okay, you can't freeze our little cutie, Fangfang, you take the child back first, I want to stay here a little longer."
"Then you have to pay attention, don't stand still for a long time, Tiantian and I are waiting for you at home!"
"Dad, you have to come back soon, although Tiantian likes to watch cartoons very much, but it's good to watch it with Dad, don't freeze cold!"
"Okay, you guys go back first, and then Dad will break a few white plums for you, take them home and stick them in a water bottle to raise, and use them for you to paint!"
"Well, well, Dad, you can break a few less, this is the tree of the eldest aunt!"
"I know, go back, be careful on the road!"
Ordinary words are better than sweet words, hearing this, he suddenly felt warm, looking at the white plum tree in front of him, his long-accumulated emotions began to vent in no one's place, and he recalled the events of the year again.
Autumn slope grass, lush mountains, morning glory and sheep are competing with the teenagers of the neighboring villages on the slope, the baskets are full, the turf is twisted, and the freshly cut grass blades scattered all over the place have become the bargaining chips of their game.
Straw stick for chess, even two to take one, and then draw five, stone and wood for the other, with these two simple chess to fight and decide the winner, since you can pick out the most delicious grass leaves from the bundle of grass, as well as jumping fields, flying arch equation is not enough for the time being, but when it comes to the decisive moment, his sister Tang Ping's sudden appearance makes his whole army defeated, confused, lost the game, and went home in disgrace.
When she was very young, Tang Ping began to bully her younger brother, saying that it was bullying rather than deliberately not giving a good face, but after all, it was a verbal provocation and she never did it, which can be regarded as harmony.
It's just that on this day, somehow, after being driven down the mountain by his sister, he found that the puppet he had carefully carved suddenly disappeared, and his heart ached, it was something he had prepared for a long time, and he planned to give it to Gu Fang.
After questioning, she still thought that she was just pretending to take the opportunity to take revenge, so she took a brush and wrote a few big words on the gray bricks of the latrine: Tang Ping is a big villain, I hate you! Since then, I haven't spoken to Tang Ping for three days, and I still gave up through the mediation of my mother and grandfather, but the words on the wall still have the marks of a past.
The day of separation was a snowy night, and my father came back abruptly and left in an instant, as if Dayu was controlling the water, passing through the door and not entering, but there was more Shu Yuhua's existence, as a playmate of foster care.
"A-Ning, my sister is leaving, I haven't taken good care of you in the past few years, and it's my sister's fault that I beat and scolded you..."
It was the first time in his life that he heard his sister speak so softly, and he still didn't understand what it was like to study before he entered the school, but he knew that his sister had given up what was very important to her and embarked on the road to leave her hometown without hesitation.
Carelessly, he stayed in front of the washstand, letting his sister rub his red and swollen face with a hot water handkerchief, feeling flattered, although his sister did not treat him well, but asked: "Sister, are you running away from home?" Mom won't agree, this is your home, how can you bear it? ”
Tang Ping held back her tears and smiled: "Brother, my sister went to dream, and it wasn't like she never returned. I planted a plum tree on the hillside, you want to be a sister, just go and see it in winter, I will write to you, you can understand it after the New Year, you can understand it when you go to school, you have to listen to your mother at home in the future, you have to take care of the newborn Shi'an, she is your sister, don't treat her like I treat you in the future, too strict, you have to love learning, you have to go out of a way......"
The fragrance of Bai Lamei pulled his thoughts, Yining's heart finally calmed down, he missed his sister a little, she was as cold, strict and stubborn as Mei, for this family, and for him to pay too much.
At this moment, it seems that a tree is a person, a person is a tree, he saw his sister's smile in the stamen of this white plum.
"Sister, will you come back this year?" He asked, dialing the phone.
"Yes, second brother, do you miss your eldest sister? Then I have to thank you for remembering, I have to come back to see my niece, this year, but what a reunion! ”
"Well, the plum blossoms at home are blooming, I want you to come back and see!"
……
Baimei blooms lonely in the mountains, waiting for the encounter of destined people.
