"Come in, I'm here." I'm adding charcoal to the stove. This is the case in rural areas, where there is no central heating, and their own homes are burned by themselves.

According to what I know about Miao Miao, she will come in herself. Thinking about it, I didn't even call her before, and she came in by herself. But I didn't expect her to stand outside the courtyard gate this time and continue to shout, "Come out." ”

I didn't bother with it, but I went out anyway. It was indeed Miao Miao standing outside the courtyard gate, but it was much more different than I remembered. I haven't seen her for a month or two, and she is a lot thinner than before, and her face is also blue, and she looks anemic.

When Miao Miao saw me coming out, she said, "Sister, my mother heard that you are back, so I asked me to come over and ask you and my brother-in-law to come over and have dinner together tonight." ”

"Okay." I should be. Even if I have any opinions about my uncles and aunts, they are still my uncles and aunts, and they should still have a meal.

Miao Miao looked cautiously into the courtyard, and said in a low voice: "Sister, that man is my brother-in-law, is it true...... Not human, huh? ”

"You also believe in those gossip news?" I said angrily.

Miao Miao smiled and said, "Yes...... One of my classmates said he was photographed climbing a tree that day. ”

"That's your boyfriend."

"Sister, sister, don't tell my parents, okay? They're going to kill me. ”

"You deserve to be killed, how old are you, a junior high school student, look at what you have become? Which hospital did you go to? Did you go to an official hospital? There are no after-effects, right? In the future, I will marry well. ”

Miao Miao lowered her head at first, then raised her head and said, "Sister, you know everything?" How do you know? ”

"How do I know? You can't take care of yourself, can you do it, can you use a condom? "I can't tell her that her boyfriend is blackmailing me and trying to get money from me.

Miao Miao pouted, but didn't reply. She also knew that she had done something wrong, and muttered in a low voice, "We've broken up." He took me to the hospital and then we broke up. But sister, I still like him. ”

"That kind of guy doesn't deserve your liking. Study hard, and you will meet better boys in high school and college in the future. ”

After Miao Miao went back, I started to clean the house, anyway, I ate dinner there, and I didn't need to cook. When Ren Qiancang changed his clothes and went downstairs, he was covered in cold air, but he didn't know that it was cold. I carried him to the stove and stood there, waiting for the cold air on his body to be less strong before he was allowed to come near me.

After cleaning the house, I put apples in front of the living room, and a whole roast chicken and three wine glasses that I brought over, and put incense on the incense burner, and said to the empty yard: "Mom, Dad, grandpa, come back for dinner." After exhaling slowly, I continued, "Dad, Mom, I'm doing well now. I got married, and my husband was good to me. Don't worry about food or clothing. Mom and Dad, don't worry. ”

Biting my lip, I don't know what to say. Ren Qiancang stood by the stove behind me, also walked over and lit incense, and said to me, "Can you introduce me to your parents?" ”

I just laughed: "It's been so many years, my parents should not exist for a long time." ”

told Ren Qiancang about going to his uncle's house for dinner. Ren Qiancang's opinion was: "You decide." Anyway, we came back for a few days just to be relaxed and comfortable as a holiday. If you don't like it, don't go. ”

"Go ahead, I'm going to have to eat such a meal anyway. Now I'm not greedy for anything from his family, and he shouldn't make things difficult for me. "That's what I thought, but it seems like I'm thinking too simply, and people don't think so.

went to her uncle and aunt's house and put the sugar cakes there, Miao Miao was very happy, those were relatively expensive sugar cakes, and she could take them to school again and show off to her classmates.

Auntie's smile was kinder than before. She said as she served the food, "The merchant is here." Sit down and you'll be ready to eat in no time. Look at you, you are not far married, and you will not come over often. Isn't this your home too? I've been in our family since elementary school until I got married, and I also treat you as a child. ”

I smiled, but I didn't feel good. All the days I actually lived at my aunt's house should have been about two years. I've been living in school since junior high school, and I only live here during the winter and summer vacations, and I don't even come back on weekends. After high school, I worked outside during the summer vacation, and I lived at home during the winter vacation and the big year. After college, I don't necessarily come back for the Chinese New Year.

When the dishes were ready, my uncle came out of the room. It's just that the uncle kept his head down and didn't look at Ren Qiancang. My aunt kept talking to me and didn't look at Ren Qiancang, but Miao Miao was different, she secretly looked at Ren Qiancang from time to time, but she didn't dare to speak.

I know they're all scared. They had guessed that Ren Qiancang was special before, and his uncle was also scared unconscious. When they said it, few people believed it. And now several people on the report have taken a strange picture of Ren Qiancang, although the Ren family has denied it, but the two of them must be firmly convinced in their hearts.

I'm no longer the little girl who was bullied at the beginning, and I won't cry for such a thing. As she spoke, the aunt turned the conversation around to the economy. What do you say a few years ago, the tree at home was burned by someone who didn't know whose it was, and most of it was burned down by a mountain. This tree has not yet reached maturity, and it has been burned, and no one wants to sell it cheaply. The family lost so much money. I was thinking of adding a floor to my family's house, but I had no money and owed tens of thousands of yuan to the bank. He also said that Miao Miao was going to go to high school in half a year, and high school tuition, book fees, supplementary class fees, and accommodation fees were expensive.

After going around for a long time, I already heard what she meant, that is, she wanted to ask me for money. They also went to ask me for money before, and they were scared by Ren Qiancang once. Now I dare to ask for money, I guess it's really hard.

The aunt finally pointed out: "Shangshang, see if you can lend me some money first and repay the bank loan." After we buy the remaining trees, I will return the money to you. In fact, the only way to do this is to reduce the interest on going to the bank. ”

I looked at Ren Qiancang, I didn't actually have a penny, I spent Ren Qiancang's money.

Ren Qiancang took out a big red envelope and handed it to Miao Miao, saying, "Miao Miao, this is the New Year's money that my brother-in-law gave you." ”

Miao Miao was a little surprised, but she still happily took the red envelope, smiled so much that she couldn't see it, and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law." ”

I can see that the red envelope is too thick, and it is estimated that there can be tens of thousands of cash in it. I can see it, and my uncle and aunt can also see that this can be directly obtained without borrowing, and I am very happy in my heart for a while. My aunt also kept picking up vegetables for me, saying that my parents have a spirit, and my grandfather has a spirit, so let me marry such a good man.

When I came out of my aunt's house, it was already dark, the dog barked, and the sound of firecrackers came from time to time. I don't know which child is playing. Walking on the road in the village, in the dark, he led me slowly forward. The weather has warmed up a few days, and the nights will not be so cold, so I said, "I want to go and set off firecrackers too!" ”

"It's too cold!" He said expressionlessly, making my heart sink, "Go back to our yard and put it." Standing right in front of the living room door, the heating in the living room can still warm your back. The last half of his sentence made me happy again. As soon as he jumped on his back, he shouted: "Ah~ Carry me!" ”

"Tsk! Get down! ”

"No, it's too dark, I can't see anything, you just carry it."

He also smiled and said, "Hold on, I won't help you." With that, he ran forward. I panicked and clenched him with my hands and feet, laughing and shouting.

It's easier to go back to this small building, in that big courtyard, even if it's a laugh, it's heavy. We were in our yard that night with fireworks. Just the two of us, in the dim light, watched the firelight linger, laughing and screaming. Looking at his face and smiling through the burning fireworks, I really feel very happy.

It was only at this time that I felt that it was the New Year.

We stayed in the small building for three whole days, just to eat and sleep, to sleep and to eat. His pet cat stayed in our house to help me take care of my kittens, so he didn't bring them over.

This situation lasted for three days, and on the afternoon of the fourth day, we returned to the large courtyard.

When we went back, Bao Ye and Yuan Xue were arguing around the pile of sand and cement in the hall. Even the security guards opened the door for us, and they didn't notice.

The security guard whispered, "Both of them have been arguing all morning." ”

We stood at the gate and listened to the two of them arguing. Yuan Xue meant that the rebuilding of the hall was exactly the same as the original, and the style was consistent with the entire large courtyard. And Bao Ye means to build a modern style hall. Yuan Xue thought that would be nondescript.

After arguing for a while, Bao Ye finally lost the battle, and muttered: "Lao Tzu just came back from a business trip and is tired." Less. Anyway, I don't nod, and I don't want to start work here. ”

I know about Bao Ye's business trip. He told me when he received the New Year's red envelope with me and went home to honor my mother. After the auction, he was going to send the nine boys who had been temporarily sealed in the bamboo forest to the temple. There is nothing wrong with nine, we always thought that there were a dozen boys below, but when we really caught them, we found out that they were nine. And Bao Ye still chose to seal them up on the night of the fifteenth, when the boy's energy was the weakest.

Ren Qiancang said to me: "Shangshang, you go back to your room to rest first." I'll go talk to Bao Ye. ”

I nodded. Yuan Xue also saw us at this time, and she was also a little surprised, and said, "You guys are back." Merchant, I'll take you back to your room. ”
