They slipped out of the village step by step, and the wind tightened. They didn't dare to stop for a single step. In order to catch the bus into the city, they had to walk more than ten miles north to reach a village close to the road to wait for the bus.

The northwest wind was blowing, and the broken branches whistled over their heads, howling like wolves. Sun Xiaohong followed behind Ren Haoxuan, she stepped on the mirror-like ice, suddenly stumbled, leaned back, and almost fell to the ground, the fatigue and worry of the past few days made her haggard. But she still withstood the cold wind like a knife and walked towards the front with difficulty.

This winter's snow is particularly diligent, with a small field in three days and a large field in five days, and it has never stopped. The thick layer of snow, piled up in layers, emitted a cold cold light, burying all the fields outside the village in a miserable white snow.

Usually more than 20 minutes away, but it took them more than 40 minutes in the wind and snow, one foot deep and one shallow foot to reach the station in the neighboring village. Sun Xiaohong stood there, shivering with cold. She wrapped her coat tightly, stamped her feet vigorously, and put her hands to her mouth to keep warm. Fortunately, he is dressed thick and walks fast, otherwise both legs can be frozen into popsicles, which is definitely not an exaggeration.

The weather was so cold that the two of them stood in the open air, with nowhere to hide and nowhere to hide, so they could only stand in place and look anxiously left and right. Seeing that Sun Xiaohong's face was frozen blue, it is estimated that she will not be able to support it if it freezes for a while. Just when they were in a hurry, a bus happened to stop on the side of the road. When the door opened, the commander jumped from it. She saw someone waiting for the car on the side of the road, so she hurriedly ran over and accosted: "Are you two going into the city, there is a seat in the car, hurry up and get in the car." ”

"There's a car coming ahead, go, go, it's warm in the car, and it won't be cold in the car for a while!" Ren Haoxuan heard someone waving his hand at them, as if he saw a savior, he bent down and picked up the things he was carrying from the ground, took Sun Xiaohong's hand and rushed over. The commander came up to him and took the bag in his hand and helped him carry it vigorously.

Sun Xiaohong followed behind them, and several people trotted all the way and quickly got on the bus. There was not a single passenger in the car, and the driver looked back at them, then turned his eyes out the window. The road was slippery in the snow, and there were very few people who went out to take the car, and he was slightly disappointed because he couldn't pull the passengers, but he was quickly dispersed by a cold wind outside the car door.

He bowed in his seat, looking lazy. Driving in the snow, but also helpless. He looked ahead again, on the snow in front of the bus, there were clear traces of a string of wheels rolling, and the surrounding area was white, not to mention people on the street, not even a cat or dog knew where to hide. It seems that he got up early in the morning to catch a late market, and he was not the only driver.

"It's too cold, what the hell is this, if you don't come again, we'll both have to freeze today!" After Ren Haoxuan got on the car, he didn't sit down immediately, he stood in the car, kept rubbing his hands, and chatted with the driver with or without a ride.

"You've come just in time, if you're a little late, you'll have to wait until the afternoon to get into town! When you go out on such a cold day, you can't even call a taxi, and if you can't wait for the bus, a few people can stand it! "The driver is not alarmist. On such a cold day, if you don't stay at home honestly and run out to suffer, I'm afraid only Sun Xiaohong is the most unlucky. Not only did she have a bad year, but she also had to catch up with Ren Haoxuan, and she was really angry enough to make the world angry.

When they got on the bus, the bus didn't leave immediately. In order to make up the number of people, the car went around the alley in the village twice, and the number of people in the car gradually increased, although the number of people was not full, and the driver finally did not lose his wages.

The bus was finally able to run normally, Sun Xiaohong sat quietly on the chair, her heart was not like the scenery outside the window, not only pale, but also shivering with cold. She doesn't complain about the sky, she doesn't complain about the earth, she complains about not grasping herself well.

Is it your fault? What's wrong? She kept asking herself. The wind and snow outside the window are still falling uncontrollably, and many of the beautiful dreams I have had have been scattered one by one by the wind and snow in front of me. When all hope is gone, what more can she beg for? A line of tears slid down his cheeks and silently, followed by another line, and then tears welled up.

After the bus entered the city, Ren Haoxuan went to a grocery store near the station to buy a few good gifts. They went around the city two more times, and Ren Haoxuan wanted to buy a hot treasure for Sun Xiaohong. I found a few stores and couldn't buy it. Because the weather was too cold, they were afraid that they would miss the time to go home, so they didn't make any stops, so they hurried to the bus station and got on the bus back to their parents' home.

The bus went all the way, and Sun Xiaohong cried all the way. I don't know where she got so many tears, she sat there quietly and cried herself into tears. Ren Haoxuan wanted to persuade her, but seeing that she was crying so sadly, he quietly handed over a tissue, and then held her hand tightly in his hand. He understood her feelings. Therefore, he didn't persuade her, he wanted her to cry enough, along with the grievances in her heart, crying out. Then they start all over again.

Sun Xiaohong never thought that she would lose herself. In either way, she shouldn't have been where she is today. got married, but was not recognized by the two old people; is married, but he is still alone; Married, relatives are not close, friends are separated, and she is becoming more and more passive and escaping the world as if she has experienced a disaster.

Along the way, neither of the two men spoke. Through the car window, Sun Xiaohong looked at the approaching village and couldn't help but burst into tears. A good marriage needs the blessing of parents, and a bad marriage can make you unreasonable. In this deformed marriage, she turned herself into a target for slaughter, and she suddenly felt that she couldn't bear it anymore.

Along the way, after a fierce ideological struggle, Sun Xiaohong finally came up with a measure to protect herself. After the bus stopped, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and walked off the bus with Ren Haoxuan one after another. When they walked into the door, it was already two or three o'clock in the afternoon, and after the bumps along the way, Sun Xiaohong was sleepy and tired. But when her gaze met her mother's, she suddenly felt a chill coming towards her. She knew in her heart what was going on, and she was inexplicably scared.

"Mom, this is what Ren Haoxuan specially bought for you and my dad, you can put it away!" Seeing her mother's domineering appearance, Sun Xiaohong pushed the things that Ren Haoxuan brought in front of her eyes and said flatteringly.

"I bought this little thing with your father, and you underestimated your father and your mother too much. After so many years, it's a pity that your parents have cultivated you once, this little favor has been confused away, it seems that your heart is not very high! Hold and your dad have lived all their lives, and they haven't seen anything good. It's better to give it back to his mother, you can't afford to eat it with your father! Mother's words were so hurtful that Sun Xiaohong was stunned. She couldn't take it anymore, she couldn't believe that her mother would say that about herself, and she attacked herself with a gun and a stick between her words. Her tears burst into her eyes.

Her heart sank, and a heavy stone fell on her head, and she stood there stunned, speechless for a moment.

"I didn't treat you well, if you want to cry, go back to Lao Ren's house and cry. Aren't their families good to you? Why are you still running back to your parents' house crying? Yes, people in our family don't know how to say it, but our family's hearts and minds are so good. Okay, I don't think you'll shed these tears, even if you dry all the tears in your stomach, you won't rush now! Mom said, turning around and going to the kitchen to serve food.

Sun Xiaohong looked at her mother's back, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her ears kept ringing with Ren Haoxuan's mother's weird taunts, she tried her best to compare the two of them together, she shook her head gently, her heart was cold, it was really a wave of unevenness, and she didn't know what kind of evil obstacle she had created in her previous life. Grandma is not close, uncle is not loved, there are only two mothers inside and out, one is stronger than the other, and the other is more powerful than the other.

"What are you doing? Why don't you hurry up to the kitchen and serve food! Mom's scolding came from the kitchen. Sun Xiaohong suddenly came to her senses. In order not to let Ren Haoxuan see that she had just cried, she wiped the tears from her face and approached the kitchen with her head down.

Angry to angry, my mother still made a table of sumptuous meals to entertain Ren Haoxuan.

After the meal is served, the whole family sits around. Ren Haoxuan sat opposite Sun Guodong. He stood up, took the wine bottle, carefully poured a glass of wine for Sun Guodong, and then poured some for himself. Then he raised his glass and said, "Dad, I will salute you for this first glass of wine." In the future, I will not be by Xiaohong's side, and I will have to cause trouble for you and my mother. ”

"They are all their own children, so what's the trouble. It's not that we disagree with the two of you living in the West Courtyard. After your second uncle and they moved out, no one lived in the West Courtyard, and it has been empty for more than two years. The room is ventilated, and there are rat holes at the base of the wall, and they haven't even been cleaned up. You better go to your fourth aunt's house and live. Her house is warm, Xiaohong came back late from work, and your fourth aunt can still help burn the kang! Without waiting for Sun Guodong to reply, Xiaohong's mother hurriedly snatched the words.

is married, it is a family, and it is not unreasonable that she doesn't want Xiaohong to live in the West Courtyard. She was afraid that Ren Haoxuan would be too careful, and she would hate her in the future, so she couldn't have made her clearer.

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with Xiaohong going to live in her house." Sun Guodong nodded, he raised the wine glass to his mouth, took a sip gently, and gently put the wine glass on the table.

Ren Haoxuan listened to them silently, silently raised his wine glass, and took a small sip slowly. His mood at this time seemed to be much more complicated than Sun Xiaohong's.
