Chapter 3 The way home from heavy snow

Hurriedly patted the padded jacket in her hand, Aunt Bai pulled Xu Wenlan, and couldn't help but say, she directly put the fat padded jacket on her, "This is my aunt's clothes, you wear it first, don't freeze anymore." This girl's family can't be frozen, you, this year and tomorrow, the chilblains on these hands and feet won't get better......"

It's okay if she doesn't say it, but as soon as she says it, Xu Wenlan feels itchy on her hands and feet again.

"Don't talk back to your parents, you can respond to what they say—oh......"

Jumping off the kang, Aunt Bai reached out to hug Xu Wenlan, but the handsome little guy leaned over with his back, "My sister is on my back, mother, don't stretch out your hand." ”

Aunt Bai was happy, and really got out of the way.

Xu Wenlan was a little stunned, this little handsome guy is only twelve or thirteen, what if she presses people down?

It wasn't until Aunt Bai pulled her hand and put it on the little handsome guy's shoulder that she reacted.

I forgot that my own people have shrunk, and the little handsome guy can carry her.

The handsome little guy carried her on his back, and the round-faced boy also stepped forward to help, "I'll open the door, I'll open the door......"

Out of the back room, Xu Wenlan didn't have time to see what the outhouse looked like, and the round-faced boy had already opened the thick straw curtain.

The little handsome guy stepped out of the house, and the white light was so swaying that Xu Wenlan couldn't see clearly for a while.

Busy covering her eyes with her hands, she eased her mind before she saw the Northeast farmhouse clearly.

The snow in one place a day is white outside, and the people in the distance and the courtyards near are dotted in a piece of white, which is like a chaotic ink, giving birth to a smart charm.

This is an ordinary farmhouse, the area is not small, Xu Wenlan roughly calculated, this yard must be more than 200 square meters.

It's a bit like a courtyard house in Beijing, except that this wall is not a brick wall, but a wooden fence.

Not to mention the walls, even the main house is an adobe thatched house, not made of bricks. The east wing behind them is naturally also an adobe house, although it looks like the house is large and has a lot of rooms, but it is simple in the end.

In addition to the main house, the east and west wings each have four rooms, and the right hand of the courtyard door is close to the fence gate, that is, there is a somewhat low warehouse on the east side.

Next to the gate of the courtyard on the other side, there is a cow and horse shed, and it is faintly visible that there is a pile of grass inside, and an old cow is grazing with his head down.

Faintly, you can still hear the snorting of pigs, although you can't see the pigsty, but how can farmers not raise pigs?

Cows, horses, and pigs, it's good that it's winter, but if it's summer, I'm afraid it smells bad.

Bai Yingkui had already set up the car, and when he saw the handsome little guy coming out with Xu Wenlan on his back, he hurriedly came over to take over, "Our big treasure is getting bigger and bigger!" ”

The little handsome guy laughed, put down Xu Wenlan, thought about it, took off the cotton hat on his head again, and put it on Xu Wenlan's head.

Raising her head to look at him, Xu Wenlan opened her mouth, and for some reason, she suddenly wanted to cry.

"Yo, I'm going to send you away......"

A woman in a red jacket walked out of the room in the west chamber opposite Bai Lao's house, still holding a melon seed in her hand, and she didn't delay knocking melon seeds when she spoke.

Leaning forward, she took care of Xu Wenlan and laughed, "Look at this little girl, she looks really good, otherwise my family is a little Gege!" ”

This is Bai Laosan's daughter-in-law?

Xu Wenlan had a sudden shock in her heart, and before she could figure it out, Aunt Bai had already chased out with a red quilt embroidered with peony flowers.

"Cover this quilt with your daughter, but don't freeze it......"

"you, it's not your ...... to marry"

"You don't have to worry about it, it's not that you won't get it back......"

glared at Bai Yingkui, and did not allow Xu Wenlan to refuse, and Aunt Bai directly wrapped Xu Wenlan with the quilt.

Bai Laosan's daughter-in-law smiled "ha", "His aunt is really distressed-take brother, don't you say?" ”

As soon as she said this, Xu Wenlan saw that there was a little girl who was about the same height as her behind her, with a black face but a pair of bright eyes.

and Xu Wenlan looked at each other, and the little girl didn't know why, but she snorted from her nose and turned around and went back to the house.

Before he had walked a few steps, the cry of a child came from the house, and the third daughter-in-law of Bai Lao immediately shouted: "Take my brother, what do you think of my brother!" What if the dog falls? ”

"I'm looking at him...... the little girl's voice came out, very sharp: "You kick the quilt again, but no one will wrap you in the quilt......"

The hand that was tucking the quilt stiffened, and the expression on Aunt Bai's face was a little strange.

pursed her lips, she still tucked the quilt for Xu Wenlan, "Girl, remember, we are a backer, your uncle's surname is Bai, and your aunt's maiden name is Zhu, that's your eldest brother and second brother, if you miss us, come back to see us, if you have anything on your mind, just look for your aunt to nag, but don't run away like this......"

chattering, Aunt Bai followed for a long time, until Bai Yingkui got into the car, and she was reluctant.

"Driving ......" whipped the horse, Bai Yingkui turned his head and shouted: "Mother, go back!" I'll send this girl home well......"

Biting her lip, Xu Wenlan kept tilting her neck to look at the white aunt who was gradually moving away, until the figure turned into a small black dot and could no longer be seen, and then turned her head.

Wiping his head and looking at her silent appearance, Bai Yingkui seemed to want to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he still didn't say it, just scratched his head.

The car crushed against the snow, creaking, two deep car prints, like a thick brush painted on the snow.

After being stuffed in the quilt for a long time, Xu Wenlan slowly poked her head out.

Along the way, there were all the scenery she had never seen.

At this time, the Northeast has long stopped farming, and large areas of abandoned land have become snowfields, as far as the eye can see.

There was a mountain shadow in the distance, and I don't know if it was lined by clouds, or if it was really so high, a heavy dark shadow, and it was far away.

Behind him is a mountain, but in front of him is a snowfield, occasionally you can see the stubble exposed in the snow, and I don't know what crops still have roots left in the ground, but I can identify which snow field is originally a field, which is the road.

Trees also grew on the ridges of the roadside, gray bark, and the trunk was covered with eye-like scars, and the bare trunk pierced straight into the sky.

It was a poplar tree, which she had only seen in books before.

Occasionally, black crows croaked among the poplar trees, and when you looked up, you could see a simple bird's nest.

After turning a corner, there was a large river in front of me, which was probably no more than ten meters wide.

There are also trees by the river, but not all of them are the poplar trees I just saw, there are also willows, there are no green leaves like a curtain, but the branches still hang down, one by one, falling with white frost, one by one, the branches are strings and strings, facing the light, silver filaments are shiny, and they are as dazzling as a curtain of crystal beads.

Some poplar trees are hung with a lot of frost, as if carved from jade and snow, and the crystal frost flowers are on the branches that pierce the sky, like a crown of ice and snow.

Such a spectacle, Xu Wenlan's eyes are a little insufficient, "What a beautiful foggy ......"

"What?" Bai Yingkui turned his head, and finally knew what to say, "Ah, this is a tree hanging, it's beautiful, right?" You probably don't have ...... in Beijing."

It seems that at this time, it is not called Wusong - only when she is traveling to the Northeast for free to watch Wusong.

Nodding, Xu Wenlan smiled so hard that her eyes narrowed.

Seeing her laugh, Bai Yingkui also laughed, just smiled and smiled, and his laughter was gone, "Girl, if you don't care about us, just look at your aunt when you have time, she, she likes you......"

Wiping his face, Bai Yingkui raised his head and looked at the sky, "It's snowing again!" ”

Raising her head and looking at the snowflakes fluttering down, Xu Wenlan opened her eyes wide, even if the snowflakes fell on her eyelashes and melted into the water droplets and seeped into her eyes, she only blinked.

- It's a lot of snow......
