The barking sound came from Ah Huang, and it was the only one who was willing to do so well in this winter, and most of the other animals returned to warmth, lingering and dreaming, but it was full of vitality, even more so than when it came, and the excitement made him suddenly feel a premonition.

Could it be that someone has returned from the mountain?

This guess was probably a pot thrown into the eye, but after a while, I heard only a broken gong shouting: "Uncle, I'm back!" It's time for you to live! ”

The sound entered the hearts of the people, with a little drunkenness, Uncle Tang opened his confused eyes, and then clamped the coals, and went out with him to investigate, only to see two figures in the faint light, when he got closer, in addition to the known Tang Hu, the other person was actually his sister Tang Ping, who had not been seen for a long time.

"Master, Pingping is here to pay you a birthday greeting, I know that you like glutinous rice and glutinous rice in the city, so I brought it to you and it can be eaten when you take it to the fire and heat it up!" Tang Ping smiled, took out the oil paper, and handed it to Uncle Tang.

Tang Hu also put down the suitcase of his backpack with a grin, and said with a smile: "Old man, you have been drinking with A-Ning again, and you don't even give me a call, you have to ask me to come back in person to give you a surprise, it's really a clever plan!" ”

"You turtle baby still have a conscience, know that when you come back, it must be Pingping who mentioned it, just your memory, do you remember my life, that Pingping has a conscience, remember his grandfather, and brought me back by the way, forget it, I won't reward you if I'm happy today, go into the house to roast the fire, it's cold outside!"

Turning to the house, the charcoal fire completely separated the warmth from the cold, and everyone who helped carry the big bags and small bags had returned to the house, and my sister was overjoyed when she saw Tiantian, holding her on her knees and kissing.

"Tiantian, I'm your aunt, your father's sister, you know, it's a relative!" Tang Ping looked at Tian Tian with gentle eyes.

"Ah, dear, I know the great aunt! It's the same as Aunt An and Aunt Yu, I've already seen them! Sweet smile.

"Hey, my Tiantian is really an elf baby, my aunt has prepared a gift for you, guess what!" Tang Ping said funny.

"Well, it's a villain book, it's delicious!" Tian Tian said excitedly.

"No, Tiantian guess again, it's something used!" Tang Ping said in a deep voice.

"That's a school bag, it's a new clothes!" Sweet excitement continues.

"Oh, my family Tiantian is so smart, you can guess this, but there are many more things besides these, and when I get home later, my aunt will show it to you!"

Tang Ping took out a cloth bag and motioned for Tian Tian to open it, and soon after opening it, Tian Tian's surprise voice spread throughout the room, "Wow, it's candy, coconut candy, orange candy, and halva, wow, my name!" I'm going to share it with Niu Niu! Dad, let me go out and play a little longer, you said you wanted to share good things with your friends! ”

"Xiaohong, I'm going to trouble you to take care of Tiantian again, take her out to play, pay attention to safety on the road, don't let her touch those firecrackers or anything, just play with some rice flowers!" He laughed, took out two more red yarns from his pocket, and handed them to Xiaohong.

"Brother Aning, there's no trouble, I'm still a kid now, I'm out to play, but I'm naked, you're my teacher again, why don't I listen to you! You just eat and drink well, and I will take care of her, so that you can have fun and be safe! After Xiaohong got the order, she took Tiantian's hand and ran down the stone steps.

The village is much more lively than the Spring Festival in the city, the Jiamu onion cage can naturally eliminate the pollution caused by the fireworks, even if there is no time to get together, the neighbors are much better than not knowing each other, as early as a month or two before the Spring Festival, things such as wiping guns have become the fun of children, not to mention that there are self-selling shops in the village, and the discount sales are more marketable.

"Sister, you are really a soldier, you came back not long after you called, and you are still the same as before!" He teased.

"Otherwise, is it possible that I can live for the second time, and then there will be a female college eighteen changes, I will not leave this time, my younger brother will definitely participate in the marriage, my parents are not there, only I, the eldest sister, will be your backer, but I can't lose face!" Tang Ping looked at Gu Fang and said again.

"Sister, the two of us have a plan, but although my father agreed, he also made it clear that he would not appear, and it doesn't take much effort, just invite a few good friends to witness, as for the big banquet or something, Ah Ning and I don't want to deal with it." Gu Fang explained.

After Tang Ping heard this, he sighed and said: "My younger brother has a hard time, much more bitter than I did back then, I have been working outside to make money, and I am really ashamed to not take care of him personally by his side, fortunately he met a good girl like you, if you don't do it, you can't do it, it's good to have a Western-style wedding!" ”

"Sister, don't worry so much, I have my own measure, I already have an income now, I can support my family, I also bought a house for you, in Baiyun City, I will go there to teach in the future, your brother is already a glorious people's teacher!" Fangfang, too! He said proudly.

"Sister can't resist you, sister also knows your ambitions, this house, or hang your name, wait for my sister to find a brother-in-law who is responsible for appetite, there is no need to trouble you, you are now a family, as long as you don't think your sister is old, you will be troublesome to sister, I will be a nanny and take care of Tiantian!"

"By the way, there is still a month before the Chinese New Year, which date are you going to choose for the wedding? Also, go on a trip before marriage, sister looks at it like this on TV, it's not easy for you to walk together, you should also go out and relax, in the future, you don't have much time! ”

Sister's words touched the hearts of the two people present, and he did go through such a plan, but now that Tiantian has her sister to take care of her, she is fine, so she responds again: "Then trouble the eldest sister, I am going to go out with Gu Fang tomorrow, and you are back at the right time!" ”

Tang Ping said with a smile: "I knew that you had dug a pit and waited for me to jump, second brother, you really haven't changed at all, but I am very willing to take care of Tiantian, after all, it is the daughter of the little kite, and it is also my niece, you and Fang Fangnu work hard to have another son, I will bring it for you!" ”

"Sister, it's still early, let's talk about it in a few years, after all, Tiantian is still young, this matter, I still have to take care of her, I'm still young, it's not too late!" Gu Fang is still a little shy, she is still Huang Ying now, and she has to wait until the time of the ceremony to be consummated, this is not biased, and now there are very few people who are so clean and self-loving.

"Okay, pity my nephew and niece, I have to wait many more years to get out, let's go, add wine and return to the lamp to reopen the feast, the eldest master is estimated to have heated up all the dishes, let's go!"

"Sister, why didn't you go to help the cook this time, don't you like to drill the room the most on weekdays?"

"I don't dare to touch the old man's moldy head, he loves to cook by himself, I can't intervene, you know, today is the birthday, that's the old people's past, and our grandfather is related!"

The leftovers have been removed, and replaced with fresh and hot dishes, Uncle Tang is very happy, the slightly drunk wine has almost completely dissipated, and began to pull up the family at the dinner table, asking my sister when she will get married, how is her own tiger, and also sighed about the magnificent past when he fought with his grandfather, this family banquet has almost become Uncle Tang's lecture field, and the younger generations are also willing to listen, and the glory in the glorious years is a rare spiritual food that is difficult for people to experience today.

The good night was poured out, full of joy, and when he looked back, it was already snowy, Ah Huang was called, shook his body, and moved forward to open up the road, he carried the sweet sweetness of his sleep, and returned home with the two of them.

Lying on the desk and crying the lamp, he knelt down Gu Fang, he was still sorting out the manuscript, and he thought of the lonely soul in the mountains in his heart, a little sad, and then opened the wooden box where the memories were stored, and the old photo appeared in front of him again.

The two pigtails are casually put on her chest, wearing a red jacket, smiling timidly, quiet and peaceful, cold as usual, she is such a beautiful woman, now she has been buried in the spring with the wind and dust, and his heart is worried after all.

Gently rubbing this old photograph that had been carefully preserved for more than ten years, he finally noticed a little difference, the blank space behind it, there were different shades of nicks, he immediately took out a pencil to scribble, and finally uncovered the words that had not been told for more than ten years.

Class leader, Yue'er really likes you so much, and will always love you!

After all, the nostalgic mind is susceptible, and he has missed this unclear love when he first realized what love is, and the love that sprouted under the secret care has only now peeled off the shy and faint veil.

The snow was still falling, and they were all raised like his cold and hot-blooded heart, and this night he had not slept all night, and he was full of energy, and continued to write about the unfinished grass creation, red eyes, and unconsciously it was dawn.

moved the quilt, but only found a warm water bag, looked up at the windowsill, but found Yining sleeping lightly at the desk, not wearing a coat, Gu Fang put Da Zheng on his back, and then went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

He slept soundly, and he didn't know that Tian Tian was playing with him again, only to feel that someone was shouting in his sleep, and he knew that Gu Fang had already woken up and prepared clothes for him.

My sister had gone out with Tiantian, and most of the things had been arranged, Gu Fang brought a bowl of mash dumplings, gently placed them on the desk, and called out his name.

Chawen got up, coughed a little, and under Gu Fang's gaze, he obediently finished eating this extremely sweet food before he spoke: "Fangfang, get ready to go, it's not too early!" ”

"Well, let's record some videos now, this little girl will stick to you, and they all say that your daughter is the closest to her father!" Gu Fang said with a smile.

Taking a short break in the car, in the wind and snow, the shuttle bus was still moving on time and on point, and soon after, he took Gu Fang back to this sad place.

Tuogou Village has changed a lot, most of the brick houses have been turned into red brick and white porcelain bungalows, the roads have become wider, and there are still many children playing in the snow on the roadside, stopping their games and looking at them strangely, but soon retracting their eyes and continuing their activities.

Snow drifts in the world, thousands of miles of dust, light smoke curling, as if welcoming the old people, Vashe is still the same, but much cleaner than back then, the Spring Festival couplets ink marks are not dry, bacon sausages are hung on the beams, a group of happy New Year's appearance, it turns out that Grandma is doing well, there are still people here, it is really in vain Fei Linyue's heart.

The old dog has already returned to the world, this stone steps snow stops, only some young plum blossoms grow, stepping on the long path, and finally see the older Lin Grandma, the custom of the older generation of Tuogou Village is to marry out the daughter with the husband's surname, until the loess to the tablet to record the real name, calling Lin Grandma is not wrong.

"Grandma Lin, have a good New Year!" He asked as loudly as he could.

"Housheng, which family are you a relative, why did you come to us, come into the house and bake the fire, it's cold outside!" Grandma Lin, who was on crutches, said with a smile.

"Oh, Grandma Lin, thank you, we are not here to visit relatives, I am Tang Yining, Lin Yue's classmate, it's almost the New Year, take a moment to take a look at you, you still remember me!"

"Oh, it's Yining, my mother-in-law is not old, I remember you! Teacher Wu came to me a few days ago, my sausages and bacon are all brought by her, all these years, Teacher Wu has taken care of me, good person! ”

"I don't have anyone in this house, I don't have to worry about you, I don't have to eat, my wife will get it for you, just wait for a while!"

"No need, Grandma Lin, we just hit here, go over the mountain to Nanzhi Mountain, see that there is smoke here, so I came to see you, we have already eaten, so we don't need to trouble your old man!"

"Oh, come to my house for dinner during the New Year, my old woman hasn't been reunited for a long time, Teacher Wu will come when the time comes, this girl is your daughter-in-law, she looks so beautiful, much better than my family! ”

"Grandma Lin, you are too exaggerated, I can't compare to your family Yueyue, I didn't have anything to bring here in a hurry, I will give you a scarf, don't dislike it!" Gu Fang took out the gift that had already been prepared from the bag and handed it to Grandma Lin.

"How can there be a reason to dislike, Yining, you really married a clever daughter-in-law, with her to take care of you, Yueyue doesn't have to worry, the road over there is very slippery, you should be careful when you go, I'm old, I can't walk, so I won't send you more!"

After a few words, it was not until the figure disappeared behind the mountain rocks that Grandma Lin could not retract her concerned gaze, and the Vashe in the deep mountains regained her calm again.

Concealment is not a long-term solution, in these flowing years, how can a person like Mr. Wu who is rigid on the outside and soft on the inside bear to let Grandma Lin be in pain for a long time, it is obvious that Grandma Lin already knows the truth of the facts, just sighing, and life has to go on as usual.

The flowing spring is not rotten, this secret place in the mountains still maintains the original ecology, but the heavy stone tablet has been erected, and the portrait is exactly the appearance that Lin Yue once gave it, folded a few wild chrysanthemums in bloom into bunches, and then mourned in front of her tomb.

The paper money has turned to ashes, the incense has been burned out, the old leaves next to it have withered, the scattered stones have been entangled in moss, and the album of more than ten years ago has been packed in a wooden box with many layers, just under the old tree not far from this spring.

He got inspiration from that photo, there must be a message in the scattered hundreds of pictures of Luoying, he firmly believed, took out the knife, Gu Fang and he dug the secret of the year with him.

Take out the rusty iron lock, and then open it, the stacked and sticky paintings made him lose hope, and finally saw the poems that cut off time and space after several splits, the girl's feelings have not changed, as if there is a voice that has never faded to read, the poignant confession poem.

I have been awakened in the early years, and now I am not white

Occasionally, they all sigh and laugh, who seems to be blue-eyed

The warp wheel has not passed the old first, and the red face is easy to fall and flourish

At that time, the breeze deserted the willows, and the cloud butterfly flowers became two lives of mourning

Snow is the background color of the world, Gu Fang held his hand and read the words on the painting softly.
