The Li family had twists and turns before the marriage and gave birth late, so the two sisters were the youngest of the cousins, and several cousins and cousins had children. Six-year-old wicker was saluted by two children as old as her, called "little aunt", and had to give red envelopes during the New Year.

In the evening, I had dinner at my uncle Li Rong's house, and my grandmother Liu Zhi was still there, and she followed my uncle, who was a white-haired little old lady who was full of refreshment and laughter. Liu Zhi was naturally happy to see her grandmother's family, she had a good relationship with her grandmother's relatives, she gave birth to her mother without milk, and her aunt took her to the countryside to milk until she was one year old.

"Zhi'er, your mother said that you don't have any fish to eat in the county, why are you so pitiful. Here, eat one more piece. "The simple aunt sandwiched a large piece of fish meat and gave it to the willow branch. Grandma's family has a large population, several uncles have crafts, and their lives are rich, although it is said that the tongue will inevitably touch the teeth, but there is no big demon moth, it is a big family with affection and prosperity, and the atmosphere is very good.

The willow branch buried his head in hard work, and listened to the gossip of the adults in the village, which daughter-in-law did not respect her in-laws, and which mother-in-law tried to tribulate her daughter-in-law.

I boiled hot water under the stove in the morning, took a comfortable bath, and was warm, and it was time to go to bed after a while. The futon in the countryside is no more muslin than at home, coarse, and the delicate skin of the pampered skin is slightly painful. Wicker complained coquettishly, and Li comforted Wicker. The willow branches slid into the quilt, which was thick but brand new, and had the scent of soaphorn, which she liked very much. She soon fell asleep. In the dream, someone seems to be calling his twig affectionately in his ear, ** his cheek, and the palm of his hand is as thick as this futon, but it is hot, full of familiar and reassuring taste.

The tattered mule cart finally turned onto the clean road into the city, Songning Mansion is one of the three prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, the three prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, mulberry hemp, rice, sea salt, and the Grand Canal, which is not the lifeblood of the country, and the wealth can be imagined. The tall city gate of Songning Mansion has lined up a long line, and there are a lot of people who enter and exit near the New Year's Pass, check the road strips, pay the city tax, and enter the city at noon. The mule cart walked forward, and turned into a rather wide bluestone alley with a few twists and turns, where everyone is black-walled and very decent. The boy paid for the car, got out of the car, and went into the alley.

The country had a rich breakfast, fried a big bowl of oily bacon, and my aunt used the leftover rice to cook porridge, rolled the chopped mustard heads into it and cooked it together, and Liu Zhi liked this salty and fragrant taste, and ate a big bowl. After eating, Wicker and a few young cousins watched each other in the house as usual, and she didn't like to move.

And today the snow stopped, the sky slightly released a pale gold, the willow branch wrapped in a cotton jacket to ask the cousin to take him to the field to play, just out of the yard door to hear a familiar voice called "twig".

The willow branch screamed and flew up, she was so excited and dressed so much that her feet slipped. The sky was spinning but there was no pain, Li Chun caught her, but she was dressed as chubby as a ball and had a big momentum, and brought him to the ground. Liu Zhi lay on him and looked at his black and bright eyes, so happy that he didn't know what to do, Li Chun's black eyes were also full of smiles, and the two of them rolled a few times in their arms, regardless of the fact that the ground was still full of mud and snow.

"I knew you were coming to me." The two of them sat in the kitchen and talked. Willow Branch changed her clothes again, her hair was scattered, and her pink cheeks looked cute and delicate.

"There's nothing to do in winter, uncle goes to drink, and as soon as he disappears, it's two or three days, and I'm left alone, so I'll come to you."

The little cousin found his own cotton clothes to change for Li Chun, and seeing that he was barefoot and found his own thick socks and old cotton shoes, Liu Zhi gratefully took the little cousin's hand and said "thank you".

The two of them sat in front of the stove and talked, looking at each other and smirking, as if they had returned to their childhood. "You must not have eaten, I'll make it for you." The fastest way to boil noodles is to bring the water to a boil. What to cover the noodles, although it is said that there are leftovers, but the willow branches are not willing.

Because Li told his mother's family to celebrate the New Year in the countryside, the vegetables and meat on the stove were fully prepared, so Liu Zhi stepped on a stool to cut the hanging pork belly. Cut the meat into large slices and fry them into two yellow, thick layers on the noodles, and fry two poached eggs.

"Brother Koharu, is it delicious?" "It's delicious, it's delicious."

Liu Zhi couldn't tell whether he liked to cook because he shared his mother's worries and helped Li's mother, or whether he liked to hear him say this every time and see the satisfied expression on his face. Teenage girls either like flowers and powder, or like needles and threads, who likes to smell greasy and fireworks, not to mention the white and tender fingers soaked in the water wrinkled, eyes smoked red, and a body of ginger and garlic.

"Ouch Zhi'er is so capable, that posture is like a little lady in charge" Aunt knocked melon seeds and chatted with Li's family, "The girls in this county are different, they are really outstanding." Is that young man the one that my uncle gave Zhi'er a picture? It looks very energetic. ”

Li also told her mother's family before that she intended to recruit a son-in-law, and asked her brother and sister-in-law to find a suitable family in the countryside, but now she couldn't figure out what Liu Wang meant, and vaguely said that "the branches are familiar, but I didn't expect to meet them in the countryside." ”

Then he heard his daughter's joyful voice and footsteps. Li Chun came into the house to say hello to the Li family, and the child chased after him - the Li family was in a strange mood, embarrassed to say Li Chun in front of his mother's family, and felt that the eldest daughter's overflowing joy was too reserved for a girl, so he coughed and reproached Liu Zhi: "You see that you are becoming more and more crazy and crazy when you leave home, and you run around like this without combing your hair." ”

Liu Zhi made a grimace at Li Chun, said wait for my mouth shape, and followed his aunt to comb her hair. After a few gossips with Li Chun, Li asked him when he would go back to the county and if he would like to help hire a car. Li Chun was so bright-eyed, he just said no, saying that he still had something to do, and he would leave immediately. Li also pushed the boat down the river and said that since you have something to do, your aunt will not keep you, and finally grabbed a handful of candy and gave it to him.

My aunt can only comb her braids, and the willow branches don't care, her hair is black and many, and the two braids are almost up to her waist. After combing his hair and going out, he thought about running back to the table and asked his aunt to borrow a flower to wear.

Liu Zhi returned to the hall and heard that Li Chun was reluctant to leave, so he must send him to the gate. She took his hand, and there was an inexplicable feeling in her heart, which made her heart ache and ache. She pouted and asked, "Why did you go back, did you go so far just to see this one?" ”

Li Chun smiled: "I just want to see you." He reached out and straightened the crooked flowers on her braids, and saw that she bowed her head and was silent, only twisting her red and pink cheeks, and comforting her: "I will come to see you again in two days, really." ”

"Don't come, it's so far on the road, and it's going to snow again. Uh, how long have you been gone? ”

Li Chun smiled, only thinking that her long braids were extra cute, and the end of the sharp bunch was rolled up like a pig's tail, and he couldn't help but pull it lightly: "It's okay, anyway, you can't catch fish in winter." I'm idle. ”
