Tang Carp woke up from a sore back, as if he had been carrying a sack all night. Tian Ji also got up sleepy in a burst of pain, Tang Carp and Tian Ji helped all the way to wash, like two pregnant women waiting to give birth, and when the two returned to the carriage, Jiang Chen had already prepared breakfast, in the morning light, the white porridge and small fritters were particularly brilliant, Jiang Chen leaned out of the window and read a book with a paralyzed face, as if nothing had happened.

Tang Li vaguely felt that something had dissipated, the sadness like a dark cloud that had been frozen in his heart was gone, the girl opposite seemed to get out of the car, the old lady kept making noise all the way, the mustache helped the old lady move the luggage down, and added WeChat with Tang Li and his party.

It was snowing heavily in Xicheng, and on the glove, you could clearly see the hexagonal ice cube-shaped snowflakes.

"The weather forecast says there is no snow!" Tian Ji was talking to his mother on the phone, and Tian Ji's mother was almost roaring on the other end of the phone: "You put my clothes on!" ”

The wind and snow were too big, Tang Li, Tian Ji, and Jiang Chen had to find a KFC nearby, took out the thickest clothes from the suitcase and wrapped them in their coats, looking at the snowflakes outside the window, Tang Li didn't want to leave a single step with hot soy milk.

"We will go to Xicheng Bus Station in a while, go to Shangming County and then transfer to Luqian Village, we must find Ma Tianlong first, and ask Ma Tianlong to take us to Mrs. Duanmu's house!" Looking at the address given by Xiao Jingyu, Jiang Chen said: "Let's go quickly, it's still quite far, and it's not time to rest." ”

The three of them ate two family buckets, and then went on the road again, got off the long-distance bus, Tang Carp lay on the ground and vomited in the dark, and only arrived at Luqian Village at night, probably because it was snowing, there were few people on the road, only occasionally a few wild dogs with their tails between them, and when they found Ma Tianlong's house, the house was dark.

"It's over, I've come all the way to join someone's house, but I'm not at home!" Tian Ji Road.

Tang Li secretly complained that Xiao Jingyu was unreliable, and made a phone call: "Second uncle, what should I do now?" ”

Xiao Jingyu gave Tang Li another mobile phone number and asked her to call Ma Tianlong, but no one answered.

"What should I do?" Tang carp pulled his foot out of the snow with difficulty.

Jiang Chen said: "Now that the snow is so heavy, we have to find a family to spend the night." ”

Tian Ji said: "Do you think Journey to the West, you still spend the night!" Where are we going to spend the night? ”

Jiang Chen said: "We give money, so many people, there should be an empty house." ”

However, no one wants to lend them the night, a few are on guard to see three faces, a few are really not empty, there is an aunt who gave them a few large sweet potatoes to warm their hands, although they were so cold and panicked, they still couldn't stay, if they couldn't find a place to stay before dark, they could only call 110 to ask for take-in.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and the three of Tang Li are already covered with snow, and with every step, the surface of their feet will sink deeply, and then pull it out again, Jiang Chen wore the least, and his lips were already purple from the cold. Walking to the family at the end of the village, the three of them decided to try one last time, so they knocked on the door, and it was a kind old man who came to open the door: "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Uncle, that's the case, we came to find Ma Tianlong from your village, but he is not at home, this big night, we have no place to go, can you spend the night at your house, we will give money!" Jiang Chen said.

"Where did you come from?" The old man said with a smile.

"We're from Jingcheng." Tang Lidao.

"Oh." The old man was happy: "I know, come on, come in, you have found the right person, Ma Tianlong asked me before leaving, saying that there are a few guests to come, which of you is surnamed Tang?" ”

"I, I, I." Tang Li hurriedly said.

The old man immediately opened the door: "Your grandfather is Tang Tianling?" ”

Tang Li exclaimed: "Do you still know my grandfather?" ”

The old man smiled: "Oh, how can the famous Mr. Tianyi not know him?" ”

The old man welcomed Tang Li and the three into the house: "Ma Tianlong went to the city to do some urgent business, he won't be able to come back for a while, you can rest here today, our family has nothing else, there are still empty houses and warm meals!" ”

Jiang Chen asked, "Uncle, what do you call it?" ”

The old man replied, "My surname is Liu." ”

Tang Li asked, "Uncle Liu, why are you living alone?" ”

The old man replied, "My wife has gone out and has not come back, and my sons do not live with us." ”

Jiang Chen asked, "Why did my aunt go on this snowy day?" ”

The old man said: "I know you are coming, so I will buy food with you!" I'll be back in a moment! ”

Tang Li said: "Uncle, this is too troublesome. ”

"No trouble, no trouble." The old man hurriedly waved his hand: "Your grandfather helped me a lot back then!" ”

Saying that the water was boiling, the old man hurriedly went to fill a bowl for each of the three Tang Li.

Holding the hot water, Tang Li's trembling body warmed up a little, and the old man looked at us with a smile: "When your aunt comes back, let's eat!" ”

After a while, there was movement in the yard, and a chubby aunt staggered into the courtyard with a large bag and a small bag. ”

"It's coming!" The old man said.

The aunt lifted the curtain of the main house and smiled at Tang Li: "What a white and quiet female doll, you are from the Tang family, right?" ”

Tang Li nodded again and again: "Huh? Well! ”

"Good boy, like your grandfather!" The aunt rubbed Tang Li's hand with a smile and said, "Look at this eye, it's so handsome, it's light!" ”

"This kid is good!" The aunt then took Tian Ji's hand again: "This little face is like a female doll, but sometimes I can't control my emotions, but it's okay, just get used to it." ”

Then she looked at Jiang Chen, but her face twitched involuntarily: "This kid ......"

"Old woman, you are chattering endlessly!" The old man said in the outhouse, "Give the child a whole meal!" ”

"Hey! Look at my old woman's memory! The aunt patted her thigh: "You drink some hot water to warm up first, and then we will start the meal in a while." ”

The enthusiasm of the second elder made Tang Li think that he was coming to them, they had just warmed up for a while, and Jiang Chen, the only one who could cook, went to the kitchen to help, Tang Li and Tian Ji leaned on the sofa next to each other, looking left and right waiting for the meal, but they closed their eyes in a daze and took a nap, and in a trance, Tang Li heard that someone seemed to knock on the window.

"Tian Ji, go and take a look." Tang said with his eyes open.

"I'm not going, I'm broken!" Tian Ji Road.

Tang Li said: "You don't have a head." ”

"I'm not going!" Tian Ji was also sleepy, just refused to open the door, Tang Carp had to look back, I didn't know if I didn't know, I was scared when I saw it, there was a man in a purple robe standing outside the window, his long black hair and snowflakes danced together, he looked at Tang Carp quietly, opened and closed his lips and said to Tang Li: "Come out...... Come out......"

However, Tang Carp is really sleepy. Although the other party was really eye-catching, Tang Li still fell asleep on the sofa.

"Get up, come out......"

"Wait a minute, I'll sleep for five minutes."

"If you don't come out, it's too late......"

"Just a minute......

"Come out soon......"

When he opened his eyes again, Tang Li's eyes were in front of his aunt's enlarged face.

"Don Jr., it's time to eat."

Tang Carp thought that he would make some chicken stewed mushrooms and other farmhouse rice, but the uncle and aunt prepared a hot pot, in which the white flower plate was filled with clean mutton rolls, beef rolls, slippery shrimp, slippery fish, tribute balls, enoki mushrooms, spinach, etc., fresh ingredients were placed on a full table, the hot pot was the most old-fashioned copper pot, under the background of the flame, Tang Carp's face suddenly flashed red.

Tang Li can't wait to hug the old couple and kiss them! She and Tian Ji rushed over with drool, but Jiang Chen frowned and said, "Let's eat something simply, we have to drive back to the city in a while." ”

"Don't take it away, it's snowy, it's not like there is no empty house, sleep for one night, and leave tomorrow morning!" The uncle happened to come out of the kitchen with a bowl of pork belly. Tang Li kicked Jiang Chen hard from under the table: "What are you doing?" To go, you go! ”

"I'm not leaving!" The field chicken is already busy adding meat to the pot.

Jiang Chen frowned and did not speak again.

The hot pot dispelled all the cold, and it was already more than nine o'clock after the meal, Tang Lili was satisfied with his round belly and picking his teeth, and the old couple helped them lay a thick quilt and help us boil the water for washing our feet.

"Xiao Tang will sleep with me today, and let the old man squeeze with the two of you." Aunt said with a smile.

As soon as Tang Li wanted to agree, Jiang Chen said, "No." ”

"Oh, they're all big girls, how inconvenient it is to sleep together!" Big Mom couldn't believe it.

"We grew up sleeping together." Jiang Chen said calmly: "It's inconvenient for me to sleep with the living. ”

The atmosphere suddenly made Jiang Chen very stiff, and Tang Li hurriedly played a round: I'm sorry, aunt, he had a serious illness some time ago, and his brain was a little confused, so ignore him! However, we can make do with it, and we don't bother the uncle and aunt! ”

"No way!" Auntie is very stubborn: "How old are they, if the children are okay, if they don't want to sleep with your uncle, I will clean up the other room, Xiao Tang goes to sleep in that room, it may be cold, Auntie will give you a few more layers of quilts!" ”

Tang Li's room seems to have stored grain, there is a smell of fresh wheat, the quilt seems to be freshly washed, fragrant, the aunt seems to be afraid of her cold, and put two hot water bottles, very warm! Tang Li yawned and went in, and the aunt tucked the quilt corner for her again: "Sleep." ”
