On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the groom official Chen Ruiwen took his new daughter-in-law Xu Xiaoyu to greet the elders in the village. Chen Ruifeng, who was forcibly dragged out to pay New Year's greetings, couldn't bear to look directly at his eldest brother's stupid appearance, and sat quietly on the side to knock melon seeds and eat tea, but he silently agreed with everyone's words in his heart. Xiaoyu, who was wearing a red cotton jacket, wore a ponytail, with a little shyness on her face, clean, refreshing, and sven - except for being too thin, not to mention others, Chen's father and Chen's mother like it very much.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the eldest brother followed Xiaoyu back to his aunt's house, and Chen Ruifeng also went with him as a family member and junior. Although my aunt and Xiaoyu have only been together for one day, she really likes her and treats her as her own daughter. This is a little bit of the elder's heart, take it. Xiaoyu's eyes were red and she took it, and she was moved in her heart.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the family didn't go there, and no relatives came to pay New Year's greetings, and the eldest brother dragged his brother to get busy in the morning, because today was Xiaoyu's birthday. Chen's father and Chen's mother also joined in, restricting her actions in various ways, not touching that, not moving, saying, 'The birthday star is the biggest, don't do anything'. Xiaoyu had to sit obediently in the hall and watch TV, several TV stations either put on the Spring Festival Gala or "Journey to the West", the singing and dancing party programs are the same, and she has long memorized the plot of "Journey to the West", she can memorize the lines, she couldn't sit still in less than two minutes, turned off the TV, put on a red cotton jacket, put on a hat and gloves, and went out to play in the snow.

The snow had been falling since the middle of the night last day, and she hadn't stopped getting up in the morning, and the sky was still snowflakes.

The world outside the house was covered in silver, a vast expanse, and there was no second color between heaven and earth. There was a thick layer on the ground in front of the house, and when I stepped on it, it made a 'click' sound, and my whole foot was not in the snow. I heard my mother say that the day she was born was very cloudy, and everyone thought it would snow, but when she fell to the ground, it rained, so that's how her name came about. She doesn't like rainy days, like God is running nose and making people dirty, but it's different when it snows, and it feels like the whole world is quiet, and God has become very kind and kind, so she likes snow days the most.

When I got up, I wanted to sneak out when I saw the snow, but I was stopped by a few adults and wouldn't let me go, but now they are all in the kitchen. Ha ha...... Freedom!

"Wow wow...... I'm coming. ”

Chen Ruifeng, who was dragged into the kitchen by the eldest brother, sat on the small bench to pick vegetables resignedly, and the eldest brother was wearing an apron to cut meat on the side. Forget it, you can only eat your own food, so don't destroy your image in Xiaoxue's heart. Chen Ruifeng mended the knife in his heart, but the movements in his hands did not stop.

Chen's father went to boil water, Chen's mother went to catch chickens, today is Xiaoxue's first birthday at home, and the second elder also wants his daughter-in-law to have a happy life.

The eldest brother was humming a song while preparing, not to mention how happy he was, Chen Ruifeng took the picked spinach to the pressurized water well outside the house to be cleaned. He swept away the snow with his hands, the tips of his fingers were cold to the bone, and the handle was even colder, bending down and pressing hard, the clear well water gushed out from the mouth of the pipe, poured on the green vegetable leaves, and the spinach became more and more fresh.

"Chen Ruifeng, don't grind, go and help me get some garlic." The eldest brother shouted his name loudly in the kitchen, commanding him with some eagerness. "Got it! Chen Ruiwen, don't call! "Ran into the kitchen to get garlic for the eldest brother, and brought a big bag of garlic to the eldest brother's kitchen counter." Peel off. ”“…… You're going to make a bowl of garlic dish! Is this what you call a surprise feast?" While sarcastically peeling garlic, the eldest brother reacted half a minute later and stopped cutting the pork knife. "Seven or eight will do." After speaking, he concentrated on cutting meat.

Chen Ruifeng finished peeling the garlic, with the pungent smell in one hand, he ran outside the house to wash his hands, the well water was not as cold as he imagined, he rubbed his fingertips seriously, and when he was almost washed, he got up half-straight and saw that there seemed to be nothing to help him with, and immediately slipped away, ready to go back to the room to study.

But when I passed through the hall, I didn't see a light rain, it was cold, the door was open, and the cold wind poured in, and at the same time there was a burst of laughter like silver bells from outside the house.

Xiaoyu plays alone in the snow like a fish swimming into the sea, like a small spotted finch flying in the sky, free and easy. There are a lot of snowflakes stuck to the red cotton jacket, and a lot of them have fallen on the hat, and the red hat has turned into a white hat, and I don't know when it ran out. The first time I saw her like this, the two got along for most of the year, she has been quiet and obedient, except for the line dance on last year's National Day, I saw her differently today.

He rubbed a small snowball and threw it over, and the person who had just said that he wanted to go back to the room to study had already flown to a small spotted finch in front of him. "Ah......hh Erfeng, why did you throw me. The snowball exploded on Xiaoyu's head, staining her forehead a lot, and a few mischievous snowflakes stuck to her eyelashes. Ha ha...... Misses. "As he spoke, he rubbed another snowball and prepared to 'attack'." Erfeng, you are a liar, I saw it. Xiaoyu immediately squatted down to hold the snow, wanting to make a bigger 'weapon'. A war with snowballs as a 'weapon' opens fiercely.

Half an hour ago, the snow in front of Chen's house was still like a still black and white old photo, a world where thousands of mountains and birds flew away and thousands of people disappeared, the leaves on the old persimmon tree in front of the house had fallen off, but there were still a few dried persimmons, and the faint red embellished the black and white space. The thick snow on the ground left a shallow string of dog footprints, as if they were the only biological footprints in the world. At this moment, the world is alive because of two lively souls, as if adding color to Chinese painting to become a bright oil painting.

"Hahahaha......" "Chen Ruifeng, you got the snow into my neck, it's so icy!!" "Xu Xiaoyu, don't always hit me in the face." "Haha...... I'm going to hit you in the face. ”

I don't know when the eldest brother who was standing by the gate looked at his wife who was playing crazy with his brother with a doting face, and temporarily forgot what he was here for.

"I was going to take you out to build a snowman after dinner, but you were very anxious." The eldest brother pinched Xiaoyu's red nose, and then gently patted off the snowflakes on her body, carefully and carefully, and did not fall anywhere. Xiaoyu smiled sweetly, Chen Ruifeng on the side squeezed into the house from the eldest brother, didn't stay long, and went back to the room directly, he just remembered that he came out of the kitchen to review, but the sour feeling in his heart was so strong that he couldn't ignore it, and he couldn't read a word of the book he opened.

"Let's go back to the house and roast the fire, my hands are about to freeze." "Uh-huh." Xiaoyu nodded obediently, and let the eldest brother lead him back to the hall and sit by the brazier. "I'm going to cook, don't run out anymore!" "Good!" Obediently replied, the eldest brother stroked her silky hair. "After lunch, let's go build a snowman." "Uh-huh."

Xiaoyu, who was playing crazy just now, is still a little panting at the moment, his face is flushed, and the smile in the corners of his eyes is still hanging on his eyebrows. She took off her half-wet gloves and put them on the stool, then half-leaned the stool on the edge of the brazier and roasted, wiped her wet hands on her clothes casually, and finally turned on the TV, which would be able to watch the show in peace.

The snow, which had been full of laughter and laughter two minutes ago, was quiet again, leaving only the chaotic footprints telling the story just now. The snow was still falling, and it seemed to be a little heavier than just now, and there were a few children playing and barking at the other end of the village, and a few dogs barking, and the kitchen of the Chen family was cooking Chinese food in full swing, and Chen's father was counted by Chen's mother that 'he can only burn the fire and smoke'. That's probably how life is!

Today's lunch is more than half an hour earlier than usual, and the eldest brother may be afraid that Xiaoyu will be hungry after waiting for a long time, after all, he didn't eat anything for breakfast. Chen Ruifeng looked at the table full of big fish and meat, how could he have the illusion that it was more abundant than the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner? I don't know whether to eat meat or fish first, but what is more difficult to decide than him is Xiaoyu on the other side of the table, the eldest brother and Chen's mother take turns to serve her vegetables, and the small half-bowl of chicken, duck and fish meat is ...... Suddenly some sympathy arose in my heart. "Mom, big brother, it's okay, I can ...... it myself" Xiaoyu wrinkled her little face and refused again and again, but Chen's mother didn't stop. Mom, wait for Xiaoyu to finish eating. The eldest brother who received his wife's distress signal spoke, "It's okay, these are all made by Wen'er, Xiaoyu, you eat more on your birthday today, see how thin you are." "Thank you, Mom!"

Xiaoyu held the bowl and ate hard, her heart was full of emotion, her nose was sour, she just lowered her head and didn't let her eldest brother and Chen's mother see it, but she was discovered by Chen Ruifeng on the other side, but he couldn't comfort people, so he had to silently clip a piece of ribs and put it in her bowl. "Eat a few more pieces of meat on your birthday." "Good!" Xiaoyu instinctively raised her head, just met his eyes, and immediately lowered her head, picked up the ribs and stuffed them into her mouth, and said vaguely, "It's delicious." ’

Xiaoyu, who was eating, suddenly stopped her chopsticks, lowered her head a few more times, her shoulders shook slightly, and tears fell into the rice bowl like beads of broken threads, Chen Ruifeng was the first to notice her abnormality, and kicked her eldest brother twice under the table. "Light rain? Why are you crying??? "The eldest brother raised his hand at a loss, put it down and raised it again, not knowing how to comfort Xiaoyu, who was fine just now." Xiaoyu talked to her mother, what's wrong? Chen's father and Chen's mother also put down their chopsticks and looked at her. Chen Ruifeng put down the dishes and chopsticks and got up to go to the kitchen, and after a while came back with a hot towel and handed it to the eldest brother, who looked back with gratitude.

"Thank you, big brother, thank you, Dad, Mom, and Erfeng......" Xiaoyu raised her head, choked with red eyes and tears on her face, and her eldest brother wiped her tears. …… Thank you for remembering my birthday and preparing so many dishes...... Celebrate my birthday... I really... Really impressed. ”

"No one remembered my birthday except my mom...... Every year on my birthday, my mother boiled an egg for me, and it was my birthday. ”

The eldest brother, Chen's father, Chen's mother, and Chen Ruifeng silently watched her cry and continue to speak intermittently. "Actually, my birthday is the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month!"

Xiaoyu cried and cried and laughed again!
