As the year approached, the weather became colder and colder, Lily changed into a soft and warm new quilt, the windows were pasted with double window paper inside and out, and a brazier was placed in the house.

These days, she has successively made a lot of New Year's goods, meat, vegetables, candy, pastries, and wine, but Song Haonian is still outside and doesn't know when she will come back, every time she thinks about it, she is so worried.

Li Caifeng was used to her husband's absence at home, and she never thought that this winter would be extremely cold, and she had never seen such a heavy snowfall, so she couldn't help but worry.

When the two women meet every day, they always have to worry about their husband's food, clothing, housing and transportation outside, and comfort each other after worrying: "They are used to walking outside, and when they leave, everything is well prepared, you can rest assured." ”

"Yes, let's take care of the family, and they will be relieved when they come back. ”

Having said that, the two of them were still anxious, and they had to go to the intersection of the road every day to look for a while, hoping that the tourists would return as soon as possible.

On this day, the twenty-third year of the lunar month, it is also a single-day big set, taking advantage of the fact that the weather is still clear and there has been no snow, Lily pushes the stove of roasted sweet potatoes to the set, while selling sweet potatoes, while not stopping to look at the road.

Who would have thought that she would really be asked to wait, near noon, snow particles slowly fell in the sky, and a group of people on the road pushed carts and carried burdens strided, Lily's heart jumped, and she didn't care about the stall anymore, and hurriedly ran over.

When she got closer, she couldn't help but smile: "You're back!"

This group of people is none other than Liu Yi and Song Haonian, who went out to sell goods before.

Although they were all wearing thick black cotton jackets, several of them were still so cold that their faces were red and cracked, and their lips were blue. As soon as they arrived in the town, everyone relaxed, and when they saw Lily, they laughed: "We are talking on the road, whose family is the first person we meet today." ”

Lily's face was slightly red: "I'm selling things at the market, don't you just look at it?"

She hurriedly took the hot roasted sweet potatoes and stuffed one for each person: "Take warm hands first." ”

The roasted sweet potatoes were fragrant and hot, warm from their hands to their hearts, everyone thanked Lily, and Liu Yi said: "I finally came back in time for the year, and the brothers have worked hard all the way, so hurry up and go home." ”

A few brothers pushed the cart along the road, and when they arrived at someone's house, they sent the people and the New Year's goods on the car, and greeted the family, full of a cheerful atmosphere.

Before Song Haonian could say a few words to Lily, he saw that his daughter-in-law was also pushing a car, and hurriedly walked over to take over: "You rest, I'll come." ”

Lily just squinted and smiled, and her heart was very happy.

Their home is in the west of the town, the young couple finally arrived home, Lamei has already prepared lunch for two people, she didn't expect her brother-in-law to come back so soon, panicked: "I'll cook some more." ”

Lily stopped her, "There are still sweet potatoes that haven't been sold out today, and that's enough." ”

Song Haonian is not picky about eating, he will eat whatever the lily gives, peel a roasted sweet potato and taste it, sweet and warm, where is there anything dissatisfied?

nodded and said, "Listen to your sister, these are enough." ”

Lamei put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, Lily was busy fetching warm water to send Song Haonian to wash, the jacket on his body was clearly not the one he brought before going out, and he didn't know where it came from, it was thick and big, so heavy that she could hardly hold it.

The room was warm, Song Haonian felt hot after washing his face, opened his clothes, and the old cotton jacket was worn inside, and Lily laughed: "I'm still fattening you." ”

It turned out that the man was not fat, but his clothes were too thick, and he looked as strong as a bear. Thanks to his tall stature, he doesn't look too ugly.

Song Haonian said: "This year is extremely cold, thanks to this dress, there is no frostbite." ”

Lily smiled and said, "So, this garment is still a hero, so I have to serve it well." ”

Laughing again, sit down at the table to eat, lunch is the handiwork of Lamei, mixed rice, steamed sausages, fried cabbage. The rice is only the size of two people, and Lily peels the sweet potatoes while they are hot, stirs them into the rice and crushes them, and mixes them into a pot of sweet potato rice, which is almost enough for three people.

Song Haonian hadn't eaten such a hot meal for several days, and he didn't have time to speak, so he only cared about shaving rice. Lily looked funny and distressed, and said from time to time: "You eat slowly." ”

After eating a full meal and drinking a bowl of soup, he warmed up from the inside out, and the big cotton jacket couldn't be worn, so he took it off and hung it on the wall, and only wore a thin cotton jacket to move around the house.

The things he brought back this time had already been piled up in the house into a small mountain, and when Lily had finished tidying up the house, he took his daughter-in-law to show her the same. This time, the quality of the leather goods they produced was good, and it was cold in winter, so the income was very good. On the way back, it is natural to buy all kinds of food, fabrics, jewelry and other things that are rare in the town

years can be picked out.

smiled: "Why do you even buy this?"

Song Haonian said: "I thought you would like it, and asked others to help me pick it." ”

That being the case, Lily put her mind at ease, Song Haonian is not such a womanizer, he has no second thoughts about her now, and he will not find a sister for her outside in the future, and learn to buy these things to please women.

Song Haonian mysteriously took out a small cloth bag from his arms, "Daughter-in-law, look what this is." ”

The small cloth bag is slender and long, not like a wallet, Lily can't guess it, so she takes it and opens it, and suddenly a yellow and golden hairpin comes into view.

Lily couldn't believe her eyes, looked and looked, and finally became convinced that she had a butterfly-patterned hairpin in her hand, "How expensive is this!"

"It's gilt brass, not gold. Song Haonian looked frightened at Lily, and hurriedly explained. Gilt is to plate a layer of gold on the surface of copper, women who can't afford gold jewelry in the countryside, often wear gilt jewelry, Song Haonian and his mother Niu, sister-in-law Dong, Li Caifeng and others have a few kinds of gilt jewelry, but the lily can't afford to use, until now, the head still uses a peach hairpin,

Jing Hai cloth skirt.

There was a warm tide in Lily's eyes, she didn't know what to say, hugged Song Haonian's waist, buried her face in his arms, and said sullenly: "Danian, you treat me too well." ”

In her two lives, she never expected that someone would be so good to her.

Song Haonian patted Lily's back with a red face: "What is this, in the future, I will ask you to really wear gold and silver." ”

Lily laughed: "Okay, I'll wait for that day." ”

Song Haonian found that there was an extra mirror in the room, and pulled Lily to sit in front of the mirror, "You sit, I'll insert a hairpin for you." ”

Lily has been raised for more than a year, a withered yellow hair has long been gone, and now the hair is black and moist, thick and smooth, Song Haonian pulled out the peach hairpin, scattered the hair, and was reluctant to comb it up for a while, and touched it vigorously.

He restrained his hand strength, and it was quite comfortable to touch Lily, so Lily didn't say much, just half-closed his eyes and enjoyed. After a while, Lamei came over and said, "Sister"

The second half of Lamei's words were cut off in her throat, how could she know that her brother-in-law and eldest sister were doing such intimate things in broad daylight, and she didn't know whether to continue talking or walk away.

Lily blushed and quickly stood up: "What's wrong?"

Lamei was stunned and forgot what she was going to say, and said for a long time: "I should send the stove today, I'll go buy some maltose and come back." She told Lily about it early in the morning, but when Lily saw Song Haonian coming back, she left the matter of buying candy behind, and Lamei had to go by herself.

Lily turned around and found two dollars for Lamei: "Buy more, you can taste it yourself." ”

"Hey. Lamei always felt that the eldest sister still treated her as a little doll.

As soon as Lamei left, Lily and Song Haonian stared at each other for a while, and both laughed. It's easy to laugh enough, Lily sat back in front of the mirror and took a wooden comb to slowly pass her hair, Song Haonian didn't look at it dryly, she pestered Lily to pass the comb and comb her hair.

Lily smiled and glared at him, "You still comb your hair in a bun?"

"I can't, but I can learn. Song Haonian thought to himself, he went out to see the world again this time, and asked people for advice on how to be good to his daughter-in-law, and the uncle told him that there was a person named Zhang Chang, who loved to give his daughter-in-law thrush, and his daughter-in-law loved him very much.

Song Haonian quickly drew inferences and decided not only to paint her daughter-in-law's eyebrows, but also to comb her hair, and make her feel that she was good to her!

His hands were a little heavy, and from time to time he pulled Lily's scalp to hurt, Lily gritted his teeth and endured it, he couldn't help it, he gasped lightly, Song Haonian hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? I hurt you?"

Lily rubbed her scalp: "This is my scalp, not the earth, don't use the strength of ploughing the land, light." ”

Song Haonian was stunned, and promised again and again: "I won't hurt you anymore!"

"Okay, you can continue to comb it. "There is still a little love lily between husband and wife, and he will not lose his temper at him because he can't comb it for a while, and don't ask him to comb his hair.

Then he was light and careful, and did not hurt the lily again. After finishing her hair, she was given a bun, and their men's family also had to comb their hair, not other hairstyles, and he would also tie the simplest bun.

After combing his hair and inserting the butterfly-patterned hairpin into it, the little daughter-in-law in the mirror had a red face and watery eyes, so delicate that his heart hurt, and he just wanted to take her into his arms and put it on his chest, and he would not part for a moment.

On her jet-black hair, the lifelike butterfly wings trembled slightly, and Lily couldn't help but touch the butterfly with her hand, and when she was halfway through her hand, she asked Song Haonian to catch it, hold it in her palm and knead it carefully.

Song Haonian lowered his head and hugged Lily: "Daughter-in-law, I miss you." ”

Lily hugged him with her backhand and whispered, "I miss you too." ”

The sky was dark, the wind and snow were blowing outside the house, and when he returned home, the black tiger outside the fence didn't know what he heard, and he screamed excitedly. Lily's restless heart settled down, and she thought to herself, this is called happiness.
