"Hedi! Hurry up! What are you doing standing there! Cheng Jiahua turned his head and saw He Tu standing at the intersection in a daze, not knowing where he was looking in a daze, so he shouted loudly. He Tu was awakened by this shout, turned his head to look at Cheng Jiahua, and realized that he already had a husband and children, and the youth and romance of the past had left her and would never come again. But this memory was suddenly dissolved, and she felt slightly unhappy in her heart, and after replying, she glanced back at the old pavilion again, and then turned and ran in the direction of her husband.

In the afternoon, the snow began to flutter in the sky again. When the two of them arrived at the gate, they were already covered with a thin layer of snow. He Tu shook his body, raised his hand and knocked on the door, and after a while, he heard footsteps in the yard, and someone asked in a loud voice, "Who?" ”

He Di heard that it was Herui's voice, and hurriedly responded, "It's me!" ”

The iron door was opened with a clatter, and Herui's cold, sarcastic face appeared in front of her. Seeing her sister and brother-in-law who came back suddenly, He Rui was stunned for a while, and asked blankly, "Why did you come back?" ”

"Come back and see Mom and Dad." He Tu smiled, although the two sisters had some contradictions before He Tu got married, but because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, those trivial little contradictions had long been left behind by Hetu, and when she saw her sister's face, she only felt kind and cute.

Herui nodded and said, "Yes." Then he turned sideways and let the two men in. When he saw the humanoid little guy on his brother-in-law's back, He Rui's eyes widened, and he couldn't help asking, "Is this Cheng Yan?" ”

Cheng Jiahua heard the voice, turned around and smiled at her, and said, "I'll take her in first, it's too cold, I'm afraid she will freeze." ”

Herui nodded hurriedly, closed the big iron door, and ran into the door following in the footsteps of her brother-in-law. Through the thick curtains, there are two atmospheres inside and outside the house, the north wind outside the house is biting, but the inside of the house is warm. He untied the scarf around his neck and shouted into the house, "Dad! Mother! ”

When the two of them heard the sound, they couldn't help but be happy when they saw that it was Hetu who had returned. Especially Cuiying, holding Hetu's hand and constantly looking up and down, one moment saying that he was thin here, and another time saying that he was thin there, blaming Hetu for not eating well. Jiafu exchanged a word or two with Cheng Jiahua, and saw that this young man was no longer as unlikable as he was when he came last time, but became more polite and thoughtful, as if he had changed to a different person, and his heart gradually calmed down. When they saw Xiao Cheng Yan, the old couple laughed even more happily, almost rushing to hug them. Cheng Yan didn't seem to be afraid of life at all, his big eyes were spinning, and he let out a crisp laugh.

He Rui seemed to be very excited, waiting for her parents to hug Cheng Yan again, and then said softly, "I'll hug it." Cuiying carefully placed the baby in her arms and told her not to fall. He Rui agreed, and then looked down at the lovely smile, his eyes full of tenderness and love. She seemed to like this little girl very much, but when Yi came, she didn't like her so much. He Tu looked at his sister's expression and actions, and his heart was warm as if it was about to melt, and he was moved by the feelings that his sister did not easily reveal.

After seeing each other, Jiafu asked everyone to sit down, and Cuiying went to prepare hot tea. After chatting for two sentences, there was a sudden sound of loud footsteps outside the house, and then, He Yi ran into the house with a body of wind and snow, looking at the people in the house in shock. He Tu smiled and beckoned to her, shouting, "Come here!" Where are you going to play again? ”

"Sister, is it really you?" Heyi said incredulously, "I just heard that you are back, and I still don't believe it. After saying this, she ran over as if she had just woken up from a dream, threw herself into her sister's arms, buried her head and giggled, "You're finally back!" ”

"Didn't you listen to your parents when I wasn't there?" He Tu touched the back of Heyi's head and asked lovingly. He Yi's head rubbed left and right in her arms, and said sullenly: "No! I'm very obedient. ”

At this time, Cuiying brought hot tea, saw the scene in front of her, and hurriedly smiled: "Look at this little girl, my sister became like this as soon as she came, Hedi, you didn't see how crazy she was when you weren't there, I can't control it with your father." ”

He Tu smiled softly, looked at his parents, and then looked at his sister in his arms, and his eyes gradually moistened. But she didn't want to cry in front of her family, so she hurriedly bit her tongue hard, swallowed back the urge to cry, and said with a smile: "Let her go crazy, she won't be crazy if she gets married in two years." ”

"Sister, what are you talking about!" He Yi hurriedly raised his head, with two crystal tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, "I won't marry!" ”

"Why are you still crying?" He Tu wiped away the tears from the corners of Heyi's eyes and said with a smile, "It's up to you whether you marry or not." ”

"How can I not bear the events of my own life." He Yi pursed his lips, "Sister, as soon as you come back, you will say things that make people unhappy." ”

"Ignore her." Cuiying smiled, "The little guy who is a big ghost, what she said, I don't want to care about her with your father, and I don't know where I learned it. ”

"This is not the way of the devil!" He Yi retorted, but immediately laughed out loud and said, "Sister, did you bring Xiao Yan back?" ”

"In the back room." He Tu raised his chin towards the inner room and said with a smile, "Your third sister is taking care of it." ”

He Yi jumped up and ran towards the back room, causing the four of them to laugh. Everyone sat and chatted for a while, chatting with each other, Cuiying stood up on her knees, and said with a smile: "You say, I'll cook for you." ”

"Mom, I'll help you." He Tu also stood up, she turned her head and smiled at her father and Cheng Jiahua, and when she saw that the two were talking happily, she relieved herself and followed her mother out.

It turned out that in the day of getting married, the family had changed a lot. First of all, the original kitchen was demolished, redecorated into guest rooms, and two new tiled rooms were built, next to the storage room, although it was not very large, but it was also neat, so that the whole yard had a different new atmosphere. He Tu looked at it as he walked, and complained to his mother: "As soon as I got married, the family changed, and I didn't have a chance to enjoy it." ”

"Look at what you say." Cuiying looked at her reproachfully, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, "How far you marry, home will always be your home, you can enjoy it whenever you want, you know?" ”

"Of course I do." He Tu affectionately grabbed her mother's arm, and Cuiying was a little surprised by her sudden intimacy, thinking that she had never been like this before, perhaps because she had been away from home for too long. Cuiying patted the back of Hedi's hand and asked with a smile, "How are you doing in that house?" They didn't embarrass you, did they? ”

Hedi's expression darkened, but he quickly laughed, "No, look at Cheng Jiahua, he is good to me, and I am fine in that house." ”

"It's good if you don't have it, if you suffer any grievances, you can tell your mother, no matter how much your mother can't help, she can also solve it for you, it's not comfortable to be bored in your heart."

"Mom." He tilted his head and looked at his mother, "When did you become so good?" ”

"Look at you girl." Cuiying pointed hard at her head and said with a smile, "You are my child, I am not good to you, who else can I be good to?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." He squinted his eyes with a smile and took his mother's hand and walked towards the newly built kitchen.

During the evening rest, Cheng Jiahua and Hetu slept in the newly renovated guest room.

It's just that the outside has been modified, but the decoration of the inside has not changed, and it is still the furnishings that He Tu slept with his sisters when he was young. He Tu changed his clothes and sat on the kang, recalling the scene of his youth and feeling very kind. It's just that the people who sleep next to me have changed, but their state of mind has also changed, and everything can't go back to the past, even if the smile on his face is still the same as before, the things contained in it are far from what they used to be. He Tu recalled his vision for the future at that time, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, how naïve he was at that time, naively thinking that the unknown life would be as beautiful as a fantasy fairyland, which shows that people are always attracted by things they have never had, probably because their fantasies are too romantic.

Now, she looked at the man next to her who was wiping his face with a towel, and they had no feelings for each other, but they were husband and wife, how ironic it was. He Tu thought to herself, probably such a sweet thing as love, she will never meet it in her life, although the first love ended painfully, but it was always the best thing she had ever experienced, as long as she thought about it, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and she was in a good mood. Now what supports her to live this boring life is only the beauty of the past and the fantasy future.

"What are you thinking?" Cheng Jiahua asked, looking at her suspiciously, while taking off his shoes and lying on the kang.

He Tu shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "It's nothing, it's late at night, hurry up and go to sleep." Then he turned off the light and groped to lie down. The two of them had their own thoughts, silently looking out the window at the swaying shadows of the trees, like two strangers lying on the same bed.

"It seems that your family likes Xiao Yan a lot." In the dark, Cheng Jiahua suddenly opened his mouth, as if he wanted to dispel this embarrassing atmosphere.

He Tu let out a "hmm", looked sleepy, turned over, and snored slightly.

Cheng Jiahua sighed softly, once upon a time, he also accompanied that person back to his parents' house, but that person's voice and appearance can only exist in his mind now, and he will never see it again. If she was still alive, her life would definitely be very different, but she was so ruthless that she went first alone. Cheng Jiahua's heart ached slightly, he closed his eyes and clenched his fists, wanting to drive away this suffocating pain, but he didn't want to let go of her haunting figure in his heart.

As usual, she got up early, and as soon as it was dawn, she had already freshened up, and was busy making a fire on the stove and preparing for cooking. Probably because he slept in a strange place, Cheng Jiahua also woke up early as usual, and saw that Hedi's bedding had been tidied up, so he was embarrassed to sleep again, and hurriedly dressed and got up. Breakfast was ready, and the dishes and chopsticks were neatly placed on the table, waiting for them to eat.

As long as she was at home, Hedi's mood was surprisingly good, she talked loudly with her sister and mother, and occasionally let out a hearty laugh, which was a smile that Cheng Jiahua would never see in his house. Cheng Jiahua is sometimes shocked by the other side she shows, and then she feels that she is so depressed and careful in her own home. Only here will she reveal her true nature.

After breakfast, Cheng Jiahua went out with Jiafu to help with carpentry. Cheng Jiahua didn't like these manual labor, but he was really bored to stay here, and he saw that his father-in-law was not the kind of person who played cards and gambled for money, so he had to endure it a little and help hand over tools such as saws on the side. Sometimes Hetu came out to pour water, and when he saw that the two of them were getting along very happily, he felt a little relieved. Although she didn't have a lot to do at home, she just chatted with her mother and sister and teased her children every day, but she felt that time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, a morning had passed. After lunch, Cheng Jiahua said to his father-in-law: "I will go back with Hetu in the afternoon, I am afraid that the road will be closed by heavy snow in two days and will not be open to traffic." ”

"Okay, if you two are empty in the future, come back and have a look." Jiafu said, "Lest we be worried." ”

"Got it." He agreed, feeling a little lost. She sighed, and suddenly she couldn't even eat the rice in the bowl. But what is amazing is that God seemed to know what was on her mind, and after lunch, it fluttered and fluttered goose feather snow, which soon covered the concrete yard and piled up an inch of snow. Cheng Jiahua felt a little stunned, but He Tu was very happy, and said again and again: "This snow is too big, I'm afraid the car won't leave, let's wait for the snow to stop and then go to see if there is any traffic." ”

Even if Cheng Jiahua was unhappy, he could only agree. It's just that the snow is heavy, what can you do to get rid of boredom when you stay inside? Although Cheng Jiahua has rarely gambled since he became pregnant, and has also found a serious job to earn some money to subsidize his family, how can he quit gambling addiction so easily, he still goes to the mahjong parlor from time to time to join in the fun, and although the money he loses in the process is not much, it is also a lot. Now that he was bound here, and his gambling addiction could not be released, he suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable, and felt as if there were worms crawling on his hands.

Of course, these are all things that Hetu doesn't know. Cheng Jiahua is not afraid of anything, he is afraid of women's nagging, He Tu grabbed this matter and said it countless times, and his ears were calloused. Later, he simply told her that he didn't gamble anymore and was ready to work well, and seeing her relieved look, he rarely talked about it in the future. Later, Cheng Jiahua couldn't keep up with the speed of making money, so he begged the people around him to help him, and gradually accumulated a lot of creditors. Usually, as long as he goes out, someone will come up to beg for money, and that day he simply agreed to accompany her back to her parents' house, but also wanted to hide for a while, so I thought about it. But he still thinks highly of himself, the onset of gambling addiction is more intense than the fear of others asking for money, for a while, he is restless, almost want to go back immediately, into the mahjong parlor to have a good gamble!
