Chapter 170: Affection
Passing through Hewei Zhai, Bai Qi Lerma stopped, went down to buy freshly baked rice cakes, wrapped a thick layer of paper, put it into his coat, bought a handful of candies, stuffed it in his pocket, and then turned over and continued to move forward.
The wind and snow are pervasive, the vision ahead is blurred, and there is still a thick snow under the feet, even if it has been hundreds of times to this mountain road, but in this road condition, it is still quite slow.
By the time he slowly rushed all the way from Xiushui Hezi Town to the school, it was already evening.
It took more than two hours on the road.
On a snowy day, it is said to be evening, but in fact, the sky is already dark, and the lights in each house have long been lit.
The faint and warm light flickered in the roar of the wind and snow, but it made the hearts of the passers-by settle down.
Bai Qi dismounted at the gate of the courtyard, and shouted at the door of the brightly lit house: "Brother Han, open the door, I'm Bai Qi!" ”
The people in the room were eating, and they could vaguely hear the sound of calling for the door in the wind and snow, Han Yan immediately got up, wrapped the hooded cloak around his body, and said with a smile: "I'll open the door, Uncle Zhang, you eat first." ”
The wind and snow are heavy, it is not easy to walk in the mountains and forests, and it is even more difficult to walk at night.
The three members of the Zhang family were worried that it would be inconvenient for Han Yan to take Xiao Wangzhi to their house for dinner, so they simply came over to cook dinner.
Zhang Orion rolled a piece of freshly soaked meat into the sauce in the bowl, and nodded and urged: "Go quickly!" ”
As he spoke, he poured the fragrant, tender, and oily slices of meat covered with spicy oil and garlic into it, and chewed it in large gulps.
This windy and snowy weather is cold, it is suitable for eating antique soup around the fireplace, drinking wine, and knocking teeth......
Small days are delicious!
When Han Yan welcomed Bai Qi in, everyone was startled.
"Why are you back in the village at this time?" Zhang Orion raised his head and glared and asked, "I'll go to your house next day, your father also said that you can't go home until the middle of the month!" ”
Zhang Li hurriedly took the leather coat and hat that Bai Qi took off, and went to the door to shake off a snowflake.
Bai first thanked Zhang Li, then turned his head to look at Zhang Orion, and replied with a smile: "The horse shop has been idle for the past two days, and there is a letter from Brother Han, so I will simply send it back directly." ”
In fact, it was snowing heavily, and it was not a market day in recent days, it was rare for someone in the village to go to Xiushui Hezi Town, he was afraid that if the letter was delivered late, it would delay Han Yan's business, so he was in a hurry to come back to deliver the letter in person.
As he spoke, Bai Qi handed the letter in his arms to Han Yan, and took out the rice cakes that were still warm in his arms all the way and the candy in his pocket, put them on the table, and distributed them to everyone to eat.
The badger village is remote and poor, and the children in the village often eat their own preserved fruits, but the candy is not common, not to mention that the white buy is still the kind of high-quality candy wrapped in beautiful sugar paper.
When Xiao Wangyi saw those colorful candies, his eyes immediately lit up, and he subconsciously reached out to take them, but as soon as his little hand reached the table, he quickly retracted it.
"Thank you!" Xiao Wangzhi stood at the table, looking up at his white and tender little face, and his big bright eyes were full of serious thanks to Bai Qi.
Daddy taught him that he must thank him for accepting other gifts.
"You're welcome." Seeing Xiao Wangzhi thank him so solemnly, Bai Qi was a little embarrassed to get up, raised his hand and scratched his head.
"Thank you!" Han Yan took the letter and patted Bai Qi's shoulder.
Except for these two words, he didn't say much else, but he will remember the affection of coming back to send him a letter in the wind and snow!
Bai Qi said with a smile: "Brother Han is so polite to me!" Everyone lives in a village, that is a family, not angry! ”
Zhang Orion was straightforward, and laughed when he saw this: "I think when the virtuous nephew first came, your kid was still not convinced, so he came back to challenge!" I didn't expect that it has been less than a year, and you will open and close your mouth to 'Brother Han is long' and 'Brother Han is short', and you are as affectionate as a family! ”
Thinking of his ignorance and fearlessness at the beginning, his face flushed whitely, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "I'm not a little more, I don't know gold and jade!" Uncle Zhang, don't hold on to this stubble anymore......"
"The two children are fine, but you are the one who is an elder and is here to 'make trouble'!" Zhang Li glared at Orion, took a large piece of meat into his bowl, and gagged him.
Zhang Orion laughed, and when he saw that Bai Qi was ashamed and embarrassed, he thoughtfully changed the topic.
"It's windy and snowy outside, you must be cold and tired on horseback, hurry up and take two sips of wine to warm up!" Zhang Orion said, took out another small wine glass, filled it with wine, and handed it to Bai Qi.
"Hey, thank you Uncle Zhang!" Bai Qi hurriedly took it and drank it all.
Shu Yu went to the stove room to get new dishes and chopsticks, handed them to Bai Qi, and said with a smile: "Don't listen to my father, he only remembers to drink!" You eat two bites of food to pad your stomach, and then drink wine, so as to save your stomach from burning and going up. ”
Bai Qi hurriedly took the dishes and chopsticks and thanked sincerely: "Thank you, thank you!" ”
So the adults sat down again, ate and drank around the fireplace, and chatted.
Xiao Wangzhi, who had already eaten enough with his little belly, took the candy and peeled it off beside Shu Yu.
Outside, the wind and snow are blowing, but the house is full of fire, laughter, and laughter.
……
When everyone was gone and Xiao Wangzhi fell asleep, Han Yan took out the lacquer-sealed letter and opened it to read.
It's still an experience on tea, but as soon as he finished reading the first line, Han Yan's expression immediately changed.
This letter was not written to him by Zhuang Xian, but by his father!
In other words, Zhuang Xian has successfully told his father the secret way of communication between the two, and he has obtained his father's approval!
That's great!
Things turned out to be unexpectedly smooth!
All along, he did not feel that he was the "good son" expected by his father, did not listen to discipline, did not forge ahead in his career, and did not take on family responsibilities......
So when he wrote to Zhuang Xian for help, he just treated the dead horse as a live horse doctor when there was nothing he could do.
I thought that Zhuang Xian would have to spend a lot of time on his lips and tongue and put in a lot of effort to grind, but he didn't expect that he would receive his father's letter so quickly!
Han Yan steadied his mind and then looked down.
He thought that his father would continue to reproach him for not returning for many years, and reprimanded his eldest sister for not returning to Beijing for the funeral...... In general, when I saw him, I was full of lessons, accusations, and disappointments.
However, to his surprise, his father only asked him about his current situation in the letter, and told him to take self-preservation as the first priority in everything.
"My mother and I are both old, and after the misfortune of your sister, we are haggard and withered, and we can no longer withstand any turmoil. I hope you are safe, and I hope you will return to ...... soon."
His eyes were red, Han Yan pursed his lips, and pressed all the grief and pain in his heart. 2k reading web
