Glancing at Li Yuyan, the corners of Ye Yiheng's lips hooked slightly when he turned his head sideways, and he followed the old man to the mountainside.

"Uncle, why is the firewood house on the mountainside?"

"First, it is for the convenience of chopping wood, and there is a lot of chopping wood, and if you can't take it, you put it away; The second is that I don't want to pile up the room where you live now, and I am afraid of being caught in the rain in the yard, and if the gangsters come, hide behind the pyre......

The old man rested his shoulder on his shoulder and pointed to the snow-covered mountain road: "Besides, this road is also convenient to walk, but it is snowing today, which is more difficult to walk."

Ye Yiheng nodded, and followed the old man with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Along the way, the old man seemed to open the conversation: "You and your wife have not been married for a long time, right?"

Ye Yiheng followed his words and said, "You see it?"

"Yes, you guys, there are sweet but not intimate enough, restrained, and you know that you are newly married at a glance." The old man smiled shyly again, and the wrinkles at the end of his eyes deepened, "I think when I married that old woman in my family, I didn't understand anything. Speaking of which, I'm ten years older than her, but I can't take care of people, so I make a lot of jokes."

Ye Yiheng asked in surprise, "Uncle, are you ten years older than your mother?"

"But isn't it, that's why when I got married, I thought that I was so much older than her, so I should be good to her, and sometimes I made the wrong effort."

As he spoke, the old man struck the branch hanging down from the road.

The snow piled up on the branches fell and smashed into the snowdrifts on the ground, smashing into a pit.

Ye Yiheng pursed her lips and wondered, should she ask someone for some experience, but she didn't speak yet......

The old man himself said: "That kid in my family won't hurt anyone, so he ran away with his daughter-in-law, and he didn't know how to come back in this cold winter."

"It's almost the New Year, why don't you come back?" Ye Yiheng asked again.

Today is the second day of December, less than a month before the Chinese New Year.

"My son and daughter-in-law have been married for several years and have not been able to have children, so they left here and didn't want to face me and his mother." After a pause, he added, "Then again, how can a husband drag his daughter-in-law to run a boat? It just doesn't hurt!"

Ye Yiheng heard this and thought of himself.

He is now fleeing, Li Yuyan accompanies him like this, is he not hurting?

However, this is not a question.

The issue of fleeing is even more difficult to raise.

The old man recalled: "I remember that not long after I got married to my wife, on that day, she told me that she was not feeling well, so I asked her to lie on the kang in the house."

"She said she wanted to drink water, and I deliberately let it cool for her to drink, who knows, she took a sip and immediately felt very aggrieved, saying that I would not take care of people."

"They just got married, and to be honest, they don't know each other yet. I also had a strong temper, and I got angry on the spot."

"Later, I found out that she had a menstrual period, and she couldn't drink cold water during the menstrual period. She thinks I'm old enough to know this, but I don't know. He yelled at her, and she clamored to go back to her mother's house."

"She didn't want to marry me when she was ten years older. In this way, it is even more said that I will not hurt people. I'll admit I don't hurt anyone."

In front of a good listener, Ye Yiheng asked at the right time, "What happened later?"

"Then I sent her back to her mother's house."

Ye Yiheng was surprised: "Really sent back?"

"Hmm!" The old man nodded, "After sending it back, I knew that she was here for menstruation at that time, so I went to persuade people to come back."

"Since then, I've been asking people for advice, and that's how women get angry during menstruation, and some have stomach aches."

"If your little lady can't stand the pain these days, you rub your palm hot, put it on her lower abdomen and rub it gently, this trick is very good."

"It's just in the courtyard, I'm embarrassed to say this old man, you come out with me this time, I see that although you have become a parent, you still don't understand anything like a hairy boy, so I have the cheekiness to tell you this."

Hearing this, Ye Yiheng humbly taught: "More old men!"

Seeing that this young man was handsome and polite, the old man nodded again and again,

Pointing to the mountainside, he said, "It's almost there."

In the yard.

The eldest lady pointed to two figures, one tall and one short, walking towards the mountainside, and said to Li Yuyan: "The firewood house is in the back mountain, although there is only a little road in the past, it takes a lot of time to walk, let's go into the house."

"Okay." Li Yuyan followed the eldest lady to their house.

The old couple's house was piled up with a lot of things, but it was also very clean.

The eldest lady took out a lot of fabrics from the wardrobe and placed them on the kang one by one.

"You pick, and young people like brighter colors."

Li Yuyan looked at the cloth on the kang: "Why are there so many?"

There are a lot of red tones, apparently prepared by the mountain people for the new daughter-in-law. There are also a lot of navy blue and azure blue, which are suitable for men.

"When my son and daughter-in-law got married, they would use the leftover fabrics, and I had a son with the old man, so I thought that I couldn't wronged my daughter-in-law, so I bought a lot of fabrics."

"Auntie, these fabrics can be kept for your son and daughter-in-law."

"They can't wear it, either."

"Why?"

"They are older than you, and they have been married for years." The eldest lady said with a smile, a touch of sadness crossed her eyes, "Besides, they don't know when they will come back."

Hearing this, Li Yuyan fell silent, parents always want their children to be by their side, and the eldest mother is no exception.

Mountainside.

The old man talked a lot, and the two talked and walked, and soon arrived at the firewood room.

The snow was covered thickly, and there was a lot of snow blocked at the door, so the old man dug some with a flat pole to open the door smoothly.

Ye Yiheng carried a bundle of firewood on the left and on the right, and the old man picked a bundle before and after, closed the door of the firewood room, and the two walked down the mountain along the original footprints.

"I'm old, my son and daughter-in-law are not by my side, if I leave one day, how will I live with my wife and son alone?"

"At that time, I thought that if I really want to leave, I will come to this firewood house, and I will never die at home."

"If you die in the house at home, the old woman will be afraid to sleep alone in the future."

It was rare for a young man to hear him say so much, and the old man said what he had never said before: "This is the main reason why I built the firewood house here."

He rested on his shoulder with one hand and pointed to the courtyard at the foot of the mountain: "Halfway up the mountain, you can see our home when you look down."

"If I am gone, my soul will be here, and I will be able to see our home and protect her!"

Ye Yiheng fell silent, and ordinary people treated their feelings surprisingly delicately, which made him very moved.

This will be in the yard, in the house.

The eldest lady took out two more shearlings: "This can be made into two shoulders."

Li Yuyan hurriedly excused himself: "Auntie, you still keep the shearling for yourself!"

For ordinary farmers, shearling is a good thing to keep out the cold, valuable and warm, how can she be embarrassed to accept it?

The eldest lady spread the wool leather and murmured, "You and your husband are dressed in extraordinary clothes, and I don't think you like or are used to our clothes."
