Winter year after year, unlike usual, now the Wang family has a more crying and noisy Wang Nianzu. In previous years, when there was no such child, Wang Defa was idle in winter, and at noon, he went to the chess stalls and card stands in the alleys to mix time.

Now it's different, the sun at noon in winter is no longer shining, and it is not poisonous, Wang Defa asked Ma Xiu'e to wrap Wang Nianzu and go out to dry the doll. Most of the people who are holding dolls in the sun are women, and Wang Defa also gathered in the women's pile in order to let Nianzu and other children squeak together. I began to learn all kinds of praise for children, such as "big eyes" and "beautiful nose", etc.

Wang Defa was mixed in the pile of women, of course, there was no one for them to say, and when he couldn't say it, he hugged Wang Nianzu and left a sentence: "I think my family's Nianzu is the most well-behaved!" ”

After speaking, he hugged the child and left, without looking back, leaving a group of women to start a lively discussion again.

Wang Nianzu doesn't grow up, it is estimated that Wang Defa will take it out every winter to show off the baby.

After Ma Xiu'e took care of the three meals a day, as soon as she stopped, she washed the clean wool and dried it, twisted it into a thin rope, and twisted it a lot.

When she estimated that the wool string was about the same, Ma Xiu'e began to knit gloves for Wang Laidi according to the shape of Narcissus's hands, and the size of the socks was also the size of this Narcissus.

When the winter vacation arrived, Wang Chenglong and Hu Yuting told their families that they would come back until the end of the year, Wang Laidi had already made a decision, and in winter, it was a long way away, she would not go back, staggered the ice and snow road, and returned to the summer vacation.

The whole family doesn't want to think about the time when the four children were at home before, and the family has completely bid farewell to the era of having student babies.

"Old man, come to my brother to see that he really can't come back like this, you take advantage of the year to send some money to the child, spend the New Year alone outside, and let the doll eat a good meal."

"Send some money, is it because the family doesn't want her anymore or what's wrong, I have to be outside and not come back."

"What do you have to be angry with the child, it's not that she doesn't want to come back, do you love to send it or not, what's going on in the future, I won't be the middle microphone anymore, and I don't know how to talk to my own girl anymore."

The day after talking to Ma Xiu'e about this issue, Wang Defa took 500 yuan and sent it to his brother from the post office in the town.

"Xiu'e, I sent my brother's money, if you answer the phone, just tell me, let me check if I have found it."

"I know, it's just a matter of mouth, so don't send it if you can?" Ma Xiu'e deliberately angered Wang Defa.

Wang Defa didn't say anything.

Hu Yuting worked in the school cafeteria until Wang Chenglong finished the tutoring class he had brought outside, and then the two discussed going home together.

"Yuting, it's been more than half a year since you came out, haven't you counted how much money you've earned? Let me tell you, the school's credit union is still working these days, you go to get a card for yourself, save the money, go out, steal a lot of money, you can get the money. ”

Hu Yuting nodded, calculating her income in her head, almost 4,000 yuan.

Wang Chenglong looked at Yuting, who was counting the money carefully, and he didn't know what to do, so he felt sad in his heart. Hu Yu's current road is very similar to the road when Li Yueping first left, when Wang Chenglong was about to drop out of school and work.

Hu Yuting sent a number to the notebook, and Wang Chenglong knew what it was at a glance.

"Yuting, yes, I've earned so much money in half a year. In this way, you see that the atmosphere of the New Year in the provincial capital is getting stronger and stronger, let's buy some New Year's goods for the family in the provincial capital tomorrow, today is already the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, let's go home early the day after tomorrow, the younger brother said that it is too far, do not go home, we will not go back, the family is anxious. ”

Hu Yuting nodded.

"The work in the cafeteria has listened to the words, you will come to my dormitory in the next few days, we will live together, and we can take care of each other."

Hu Yuting nodded.

The next day, the two sisters went to the city to buy a lot of things that they couldn't buy at home. Including a variety of fruit candies, snacks and Wang Nianzu's new clothes for the New Year.

When shopping for something, Wang Chenglong saw Yuting's embarrassment and said to her: "Yuting, if you want to buy something more for our mother, you can buy it, don't worry so much, our dad just takes a sip of cigarettes, you can buy something for our mother that she likes, this is also the first time you come out to work, and it should be filial piety." ”

After Hu Yuting's embarrassment was told by Wang Chenglong, the embarrassment in her heart was completely gone. She chose a lot of things for Ma Xiu'e that she wanted to buy for her.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, Wang Defa and Ma Xiu'e were waiting in the town together.

The expression on Ma Xiu'e's face was more anxious than Wang Defa's, Yuting was fat or thin, white or black, she was eager to know.

Wang Defa was much calmer, unhurried, and there were no waves on his face at all. He's completely used to it.

At four o'clock, the bus stopped slowly, almost all of them were working in the provincial capital, and there may be a very small number of people who were doing their careers outside, and the rest were mostly students.

Everyone who gets off the bus can judge from his speech and demeanor what he is doing.

Wang Chenglong and Hu Yuting slowly walked out of the car at the end.

Wang Defa stepped forward and caught the bags of the two children.

Ma Xiu'e stood two meters away and watched Hu Yuting get out of the car, her eyes staring straight at the child in front of her, and she didn't know the big changes.

Ma Xiu'e imagined the kind of big hug on TV after reuniting with her family after a long absence, whether Hu Yuting would also give it to her, so many people on the street, the child sent a hug over, so that everyone saw how embarrassed it was.

Thinking about it, Hu Yuting and Wang Chenglong had already walked up to her. No hugs, no excessive words.

"I'm finally back, no matter how late it is, the New Year will be over, hurry back, hurry back." Ma Xiu'e said.

Maybe people are old, so there are fewer words, Wang Defa doesn't have too many words along the way, and he can barely carry the bags of the two children.

Along the way, Ma Xiu'e followed behind Hu Yuting, and after working hard outside for more than half a year, she has changed from a student at the beginning of the year to a big girl.

She used to be a little oil at most, but now she has simply started various treatments. The clothes are also much more fashionable than those worn by girls of the same age in the town.

Girls, a little dressed, the change is a world of difference, the wind and sun on the Loess Plateau, so that the city's high-rise buildings and environmental impact faded from the soil. The eighteen changes of the female college, and the more she changes, the better she looks.

The time that the child is at home for a year is getting shorter and shorter, and Wang Defa and his family have prepared the New Year early.

When the Chinese New Year's Eve was in the thirtieth year, Wang Laidi called when the whole family was having Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Wang Defa was still angry that the child would not come back for the New Year, and he didn't answer the phone, so when Wang Chenglong received his brother's call, he said from afar: "Take care of yourself outside!" Wang Defa deliberately said that his voice was very loud, he knew that through the phone, Wang Laidi could hear it.

Wang Laidi bought himself some snacks, bought some drinks, can not use electrical appliances in the dormitory, there are students who do not go home, but not much, the school is arranged in a dormitory, everyone sits together to play cards, chat, there is a lively energy, that is, when calling home, everyone has an aggrieved expression on their faces.

Everyone understands the mood, those who didn't go home came from all over the world, and the fireworks outside the window tore apart the seemingly joyful atmosphere in the dormitory. I don't know which classmate, playing and playing, I just leaned on the window and looked outside, and said, "I really want to go back to my home thousands of miles away!" ”

In a word, the whole dormitory was quiet.

The school is also very humane, the dormitory can not cook, and three normal ones are left in the canteen to solve the problem of eating for students who have not gone home. The meals in the cafeteria for three days were very delicious, and the masters and masters had asked the opinions of the students who stayed in school in advance, and all the meals were available.

Compared with Wang Laidi's year outside, although there is no atmosphere of reunion at home because of the lack of people, everyone still creates a festive celebration.

This year's protagonist has shifted from the four sisters and brothers in the past to Wang Nianzu.

According to folk customs, when he was going to travel on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Chenglong found Wang Defa early in the morning.

"Dad, I'm going to travel today!"

"Yes, you can go too, I'll pull you up in the truck, it's safe today, it's safe for a year!"

"Where are you going?"

"This year's god of joy is in the south, so I'm going to the south." Wang Defa asked for the location of Xishen early this year, and took advantage of the trip to give Xishen incense.

In the south, Wang Chenglong just wants to go to the south, she wants to go to her classmates, and she also promised others, Wang Chenglong has been difficult to speak, just waiting for the day of the second year of junior high school.

"Nan Nian, I just have a classmate in the south, why don't you take us to worship the Joy God, I will go to his house to worship the New Year?"

"Classmates in the south, there are people living in the south, but it's far away."

"Anyway, it's all traveling, and it's not us walking when the car is walking, right, Dad."

Wang Defa felt that this kid's mouth was a little abnormal today, but he couldn't understand what was going on.

"Tell me, where is it, there must be a name, there are many villages in the south!"

"South, Ganjiadian." Wang Chenlong said.

"Which village is most of the surnames Gan?"

"Basically, they all have the surname Gan, I don't know if there are any other surnames."

"I know, I've been there to collect apples, but it's not close, and it's not easy to walk on the road." Wang Defa said.

"It's not a trip today, it's a trip."

Wang Defa slowly realized something from Wang Chenglong's words.

"Guisheng, you ask your daughter-in-law if she is traveling, if you want to travel, hurry up and pack up, if you want to go out to worship the gods, hurry up and pack up, and set off in a while."

When I asked this, it turned out that everyone except Narcissus wanted to stay at home and watch the children.

Wang Defa polished the car, and the cab was neatly tied, just enough for four people to sit.

"Xiu'e, you can bring me a gift for visiting relatives at home in the past two days." After opening the three babies, Wang Defa whispered to Ma Xiu'e.

"Just go out and worship God, what are you doing with the gift."

"One sentence or two, I can't tell you clearly now, children don't know etiquette, we adults can't not know, right."

"What are you talking about, you're confused." Ma Xiu'e was still muttering, and she had already gone to pack up for Wang Defa under her feet.

"Take two good and valuable ones!"

After packing up my things, I got in the car and set off.

Along the way, the four of them talked and laughed, and the car window flew behind them rapidly, which was a familiar yellow, the soil was yellow, the grass was withered yellow, and occasionally the mountains in the distance could be seen to be dark gray, but the mountains were all far away.

Travel, in fact, is for a good start, go far and close, the form is there, and it's okay. But this time, it is obvious that Wang Chenglong's purpose is to go to Gan's store. The children laughed all the way, Wang Defa thought in his heart, how can any parent not know what their children are thinking. If it is a female classmate, it must be a good friend of Jackie Chan; If it's a male classmate, what is it? What else could it be, the lice on the bald head, is it obvious, this must be the object of conversation.

Wang Defa didn't dare to think far, he hadn't changed from the reality that his children were leaving home one by one to study and work outside, and he was about to face the matter of getting married to a female university, and he couldn't bear it.

When Wang Defa of Ganjiadian knew where he was, when he was about to reach the entrance of the village, Wang Defa stopped the car and beckoned Hu Yuting, Wang Guisheng, and Wang Chenglong to get out of the car and prepare to worship the god of joy to the south.

Wang Defa found an open space, took out three incense sticks from his incense watch box, lit them, picked up a handful of soil, piled up a small mound, and inserted the three incense sticks on the surface.

"Come and kowtow to the god of joy, I hope that in the new year, you can all go in and out of peace, and happy events will continue."

"Guisheng, come, take the firecrackers you brought, go and set off a string!" After kowtowing, Wang Defa remembered that he was going to set off the cannon.

Wang Guisheng couldn't speak well, as soon as he heard that he was going to set off a cannon, he didn't grind at all under his feet, and after a while, the sound of firecrackers "crackling" rang out.

"Jackie Chan, what's the name of your classmate, it's Gan's store in front. I know the entrance of the village, but I have to inquire about which one is exact. ”

"Gan Wenhu, I don't know his family either, I'll ask when I get to the entrance of the village!" Wang Chenglong said.

As soon as Wang Defa heard this name, he was a man, and it seemed that the situation he wanted could only be the second one, and Wang Chenglong might be the one he was talking to. Unless the name "Gan Wenhu", like Wang Chenglong's name, hopes to give birth to a son, but in the end it is a daughter.

At the entrance of the village, Wang Chenglong got out of the car and inquired about this Gan Wenhu's family, while directing Wang Defa to follow her.

Wang Chenglong found the door of Gan Wenhu's house, stood still in place, and Wang Defa, who was driving the car, knew that he had found it, looked around, and parked the truck in the wheat field in the village.

"Jackie Chan, are you sure that's it?" Wang De asked.

"I inquired, yes!"

"Then you wait for me, I'll come over in a while, you three wait for me." Wang Defa looked at the dilapidated gate behind Wang Chenglong, and went to the car to carry down Ma Xiu'e's packing gift.

"Let's go, Jackie Chan, you go ahead and lead the way, and see if your classmates are not at home."

As soon as Wang Chenglong knocked on the yellowed wooden door, the earth dog inside barked, so frightened that everyone took a step back, and when the dog barked, he could hear that someone inside had come out to open the door.
