He wasn't drowsy, and even when he was drunk, he was able to wake up quickly, not to mention that he wasn't drunk last night. It's just that the stubbornness in Yuhua's mouth can't defeat her slender body, and she said a lot of things in a daze, he just forgot it, but he can't completely eliminate the thoughts in his heart, Yuhua is not ignorant of the situation she is in, she has secretly found something hidden and can see the contents clearly. He regretted a little why he didn't throw it into the stove and become smoke, but after all, it was the result, and he had to pretend to treat this amiable and respectable sister normally.

Shi'an knew that his second brother was about to go out, so he got up early to help him pack some things, the old hen soup hanging on the hearth last night was still warm, and she took another iron lunch box and wrapped it in oiled paper. His mother hadn't eaten anything from home for a long time, and he felt that bringing the food from this house would make her feel more kind, and the food outside was not as good as at home. She was always frugal, but she didn't eat anything delicious.

Yuhua must not have slept well last night, she had rolled up the bed more than once, her oily black hair was very messy at the moment, it looked like a grass that had been cut by a cat, and he had to shake her sideways and shout her name, so that she could wake up completely.

The sleepy eyes and the unawake mind slid across his arm and rested on his shoulder, and it was clear that the effect of drunkenness was still there, and he had to put it down lightly and call her again later. The eldest sister agreed at night, and he didn't have to be too anxious to catch the car, so after thinking about it, it was better to let her sleep for a while and then go to the vegetable to get some fresh ones and bundle them up and stuff them into her bag.

He took the sickle and went to the green vegetable field, where the cabbage was growing well, and was large and full of water, and he chose the most suitable size of them and put them in the basket, and he picked a lot of fresh garlic sprouts and tied them into a bunch of grain grass, and put them in a bag. Although there are still many things he wants to bring with him, there will be a lot of waste if he brings too much, so he doesn't need to prepare too much.

"Brother Aning, have you done it? I'm here to help you! Yuhua shouted to Tanshita.

He waved his hand and said, "It's done, we'll leave for the car later!" ”

"Okay, you can come back first, breakfast is ready!" Yuhua then shouted again.

Thick white smoke billowed out of the chimney through the cracks in the black tiles, the result of Shi'an picking up wet wood again, but it didn't affect the cooking too much, and he thought that he would just be happy with her, and maybe she would add a new flavor to the sausages hanging on it.

"Second brother, when you go to the city to see your mother, ask her how she is doing, I'm very well-behaved, don't speak ill of me......" Shi'an still has to stay at home to guard the yard, the grass and trees here are handed over to others is not safe, there are a lot of thefts in winter, but there will be no big trouble, so Shi'an, as a little adult, is very happy to accept the arrangement.

"Okay, the second brother will listen to you, and he will bring you some things when he comes back, don't make too much noise when you are at home, it's not good to stumble and get hurt......"

"Shi'an, my sister hasn't given you a New Year's gift yet, you tell your sister what you want this time......" Yuhua listened to Shi'an and whispered.

Soon, they arrived at the parking lot in the township, and most of the people who walked around during the year were among the cottages, and there were not many people who came to catch a ride, only a few friends who looked to be many years younger than them. The atmosphere in the car is not strong, even the air is a little fresher, although he has not been cleaned, but he has experienced the benefits of fewer people, and finally no longer has to worry about motion sickness.

Yuhua sat next to him, chatting with him about what he saw and heard outside, or there were embarrassing moments of fatigue, but on the whole he was harmonious and happy. The scenery by the window was unhurried and not new, and counting the pedestrians passing by the road became a way to pass the time, while Yuhua hummed an unknown song softly, as if to communicate with the chirping sparrows.

He didn't stay in the county for much time, just passed by his rented house and pointed out the location to Yuhua and walked quickly, although it was still early, he couldn't bear it at the moment. He had a vague worry, he was afraid of what happened to him again like when he went to Gaodong Village, he wanted to see Gu Fang, he couldn't wait any longer.

The ticket booth in the county bus station was full of people, and it was probably some people who were working hard outside in a hurry to rush to the place where they worked, he threw his luggage to Yuhua, and threw himself into the black crowd like a fire. Fortunately, he bought the ticket and was not suppressed by the people who bought it on that generation. It's just that it's not Shui Ling in front of the window at the moment, which makes him a little stunned, he has a good relationship with this interesting person who works here, and has a soy milk fritters-style friendship, and he doesn't have time to think about it, because the time to drive is almost up.

"Yuhua, I bought a ticket, get on the bus and occupy a seat!" He shouted from the crowd holding up the ticket.

When Yuhua heard this, he immediately took action, put his little luggage on the saddle, and waited for his arrival.

Sweating probably, his physical strength seems to be exhausted at the moment, you can't underestimate the congestion of the station during the Spring Festival, especially the difficulty when breaking free against the current. There are many people with different thoughts hidden in it, and he can't care about it, just because the money in his pocket is limited, even if he is touched, there is not much loss, and his large denomination of money is pressed under the soles of his feet, and it is very safe.

"Yuhua, where is this to buy tickets, it's just a grab, if I don't know the conductor here very well, it is estimated that it will take a lot of time..."

"Brother Aning, you have worked hard, come, I'll rub your shoulders, seeing that you are so tired, I don't want to go..." Fortunately, the people in the car did not put their eyes on them, otherwise there would be a ridiculous tone, there is never a shortage of gossip people in the world, and because of the special period, the people in the car are lively, they are all chatting about things in the north and south, as if to show off their knowledge.

The space in the car was not enough, the already narrow aisles were filled with products carried by all kinds of people, chickens and ducks were common, and the round back basket was overflowing and almost fell out, but this was not all they were going to take with them, there were other things in their arms. The air in the smoky carriage smelled unpleasantly tight, but no one said anything more at this moment, just silently opened the window through the small gap, breathing in the hard-won air, their movements were very subtle, because the experience of riding the car told them that they had to take care of the old people who could not blow the wind.

Naturally, he couldn't stand such foul air, so he opened the window a little, but a certain village woman with a yellow mouth and white teeth in the back seat blew her hair, which was a little unpleasant, and he knew that he was such a person who could not be said in any case, so he began to lower his breath and sleep to get through this difficult time. Yuhua didn't have motion sickness, so there was no uncomfortable posture, but volunteered to be a pillow and looked at him who was leaning to the side.

"Brother Aning, if you are uncomfortable, go to sleep first, and I'll call you when you get there." Yuhua looked at him gently.

"Hmm—" He had no strength at the moment, so he had to respond in a nasal voice.

He had a very brief dream, he dreamed that a classmate who he hadn't seen for a long time took his hand and went to pick chestnuts under a tall chestnut tree, they knocked the spiky shells with stones and fed each other, the chestnuts were fresh and crispy, and he was very happy. It's just that he didn't notice who this classmate was, and he didn't even understand the distinction between men and women, and then even his face was blurred, just when he wanted to explore, he suddenly found that he was dreaming, and he woke up again with tears in the corners of his eyes, and his heart was a little flustered, and he didn't know if he was found by Yuhua.

The shuttle bus slowly came to an end and finally arrived at the station, which did not change much, but the flowers and red lanterns decorated with it made the atmosphere of the Spring Festival very remarkable. The cold air made his chest feel relieved, and at the moment of breaking free from the abandoned cage, he suddenly had a new realization, people can't always stay in one place, if they stay for a long time, it will be harmful to the body, and even the spirit is also damaged.

The third uncle did not come to pick him up, just because he was familiar with the road to the hospital, but he did not plan to go to the hospital first, but went to the third uncle's house first and put away the things he was carrying.

After passing through a few old streets that were not lively, and bypassing the narrow alleys, he took Yuhua to a small garden hidden in the depths of the market, which was the house of a friend of the third uncle, which was rented to him at half price because of his friendship. The third uncle's savings over the years did not give them a place to live in the city, just because the house price rose higher and higher year by year, he had no way, and he could not take out a loan on sufficient terms, he had talked to Yining about the idea, and when he said that it was really not possible, he simply returned to the countryside to live a simple life again, but Yining knew that the third uncle was very stubborn, he always wanted to work hard to create good conditions for Jingyun, and his hard life had enough.

Of course he knows the third uncle's love for Jingyun, and he also wants to help this upright uncle, but he really has no power to change the sky now, so he has to unite with him spiritually, the third aunt is also a wise person, and she will not complain or anything, but the sadness in her eyes is true, who wants to live a life of being rumored by the neighbors all the time, she is also a layman in the end.

Crossing the stone steps, stepping over the wooden threshold, and walking into the courtyard, he led Yuhua to the third uncle's house. There are no thousands of branches and trees in the courtyard, only a few white plums are inserted in the small altar, side by side, and there are many flowerbeds that are missing, although the plum blossoms are withered and damaged, there is still a lingering fragrance, at least in this campus can be clearly smelled. The half-fan vertical screen stone path leads straight to the look, there are four stone benches around the square stone table, the table is cracked is the flat Chu River Han boundary, which is dedicated to drinking tea and playing chess, this is of course shaded and in the small pavilion, outside the pavilion is a very shallow pond, there are no swimming fish playing at the moment, the yellow and green water color looks lovely, calm and waveless. Vines cover the entire corridor, making it a great place to cool off in spring and summer. At the end of the corridor is a four-room bungalow, leaning against the cool shade of the mountain, roughly neat and square, but the bricks and tiles are old, with traces of wind and rain erosion.

"Third aunt! You're not at home, I'm coming! He began to shout to the house, but there was no response after half a salary, he just thought that the third aunt had taken Jingyun out to play, so he returned to the pavilion to wait.

Xu is tired symptoms began to appear, Yuhua didn't know when he fell asleep on the table, he couldn't let Yuhua sleep on the cold stone, so he used his hand as a pillow to repay her kindness in taking care of herself in the car. He couldn't care about the stiffness of his arm, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, he looked at Yuhua who was asleep, and thought to himself.

Uncle Shu Yong has finished speaking, and he wrote it through his father's pen, he should have been happy to take Yuhua to see his mother, but in the end there was some inexplicable taste. Could it be that what Mr. Lu Xun did would happen to him? How will he deal with these well-meaning people, he is too distressed, but he has to suppress his rebellion, and suppress it to let things go naturally.

Yuhua woke up quickly, about ten minutes, but these ten minutes were enough to make his arm bear some pain, and he couldn't hide his body's reaction, so Yuhua felt sorry for him.

"Brother A-Ning, you are so stupid, who made you do this..."Although Yuhua was angry, the look of secret joy was still noticed by him, and he suddenly felt that he had done something wrong. However, it was useless for him to be annoyed, because he did not want to treat her with a false and indifferent face, and this unintentional backlash was not what he wanted, and he had to take one step at a time.

Just as he was entangled in his expression and was about to explain to Yuhua, a familiar voice came from not far away, "A-Ning, when did you arrive, why don't you go into the house to rest." The third aunt stood on the stone steps with Jingyun in her arms and said.

"Didn't you find the key, third aunt, since you're back, then I want a meal." He said hurriedly.

"Third aunt, come over and see who this is, do you recognize it?" He will be Yuhua grandly launched.

The third aunt looked at her posture and face and said in surprise, "This looks familiar, but I can't recognize it, it won't be your girlfriend, A-Ning, you're already capable!" The third aunt said half-jokingly.

"Aunt Lan said that she laughed, I'm not Brother Aning's girlfriend, I'm Yuhua, Shu Yong's daughter!" Her face was red and almost sweaty.

"I said, it turned out to be Brother Yong's daughter, no wonder she is so familiar, but I haven't seen her for many years, and the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and the more she changes, the better she looks. At the beginning, you rolled with A-Ning in the quagmire, but when you grew up, you became more and more shy, no, what are you shy about Aunt Lan, go, go into the back room to rest, I'll make you lunch..."The third aunt seemed to open the conversation, and was three points more enthusiastic than usual, and after rolling up Jingyun, who was asleep due to playfulness, rolled up the cover, and ran to the kitchen in a hurry.

"Brother Aning, I want to ask Aunt Lan how she has been in the past few years, don't worry about it, I just want to know..."

It's not that he doesn't want to tell Yuhua, it's just that he only knows a little about his third aunt, so he only whispered what he knows to her.

"My third aunt had a conflict with her father, and I don't know what to call him, so let's call him my father-in-law. He was not optimistic about this marriage back then, and he did not attend the wedding, but he knew that there was a lot of commotion back then, no less than Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, simply put, it was a matter of being the right person. The third aunt has not been back to her parents' house for so many years, but the people over there occasionally take Jingyun back to see her grandfather......"

"Oh, it turns out that Uncle Zhengye is so powerful, it makes Aunt Lan die, she can be regarded as a romantic character back then, I thought these things were just made up in the book, but I didn't expect to have them around..."

"That's not it, the men of my Tang family don't say anything else, it's just that the people are good, at least in our township, there are no bad people, I can guarantee this!"

He couldn't help but talk to Yuhua a lot about the third uncle, but he never touched the gray sky back then, so he was like suddenly pouring a basin of cold water and could be silent.

Seeing that he was silent, Yuhua had to take the initiative to ask, "Brother Aning, when did you say that Uncle Zhengye will be recognized by his father-in-law, it is quite difficult to buy a house!" ”

"Yes, it's hard, but I'm sure there will come a day!" After feeling emotional, he still has good wishes.

"Mom... Mom... I was in pain, I fell under the bed, woo woo ~ woo ..."Jing Yun's cry came from his ears, he immediately ran into the bedroom and hugged Jing Yun in his arms, and asked anxiously, "Jing Yun, where does it hurt, tell my brother, my brother will rub the potion for you, and it won't hurt for a while, ah..."

Jing Yun grunted her nose and tears, looked up at him, immediately stopped crying, and suddenly buried her head in his armpit and said, "Brother, I'm not in pain, don't look at me, I'm not a slug, I'm not a crybaby, you can't see me, you can't see me..."

He didn't expect Jing Yun to behave like this, but he was obedient, carried her to the court, and gently stroked her sparse yellow hair.

"Brother Aning, Jingyun is fine, right?"

"What's the matter, I just want people to hug and be coquettish."

"No, Jingyun is a good baby, not coquettish!"

The two men looked at each other and smiled, but said no more.

He saw the scenery of winter in this courtyard and the future of spring, and couldn't help but think of the "Linjiang Immortal Mei" that he had seen occasionally

The courtyard is deep and deep, and the cloud window fog pavilion is late in spring. For who is haggard and damaged Fangzi, it is good to dream at night, it should be a southern branch.

The jade thin sandalwood is light and infinitely hateful, and the Qiang pipe in the south building is blown. Who knows if the strong fragrance blows, the warm wind will be sooner or later, don't go to the apricot blossom fertilizer.

The third aunt is thin and haggard, probably because of this, but fortunately, she has the third uncle and Jingyun, so she will not become sick.
