On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the heavy snowfall that had been falling for more than three days finally stopped, and the sun came out.

When Ah Yuan woke up at noon, there was no one around, so he could only dress himself, hold his loose hair, hold a hair rope, and go out to look for a circle.

Shouting Chunmei Chunmei refused to pay attention to her, took a shovel and went out, Ah Yuan could only pout and go to find her grandmother to comb her hair.

Only then did I find that the courtyard had been swept clean, only a piece of snow in front of the door, and Chunmei was rubbing it with a shovel without raising her head.

Lao Yang helped Ah Yuan comb her little tease, and laughed at her:

"Ah Yuan cried last night, it was so loud, grandma heard it."

Ah Yuan is sad, but he was scared yesterday, but he was a lot more profitable, and he was finally able to say everything he wanted to say:

"Chunmei won't let me call Chunmei, and she will beat me! Didn't help me get dressed today, combing! I called her, and she ignored me! ”

Old Yang smiled and coaxed her:

"You call her Chunmei, and you want her to help you comb your little twig?"

A-Yuan blushed a little: "I won't, can't Chunmei help me comb it?" ”

"Of course not, it's your mother who will help you tease, not Chunmei."

Old Yang unhurriedly tied the hair rope to Ah Yuan's head,

A-Yuan was stunned: "Isn't my mother Chunmei?" ”

Old Yang tied the hair rope in a knot, turned A-Yuan around, looked at it for a while, nodded with satisfaction, and then said:

"Yes and no, you'll understand when you grow up.

Now, I still have to call my mother obediently! Go and find your mother to wash your face! Look at this eating fuzzy. ”

Lao Yang touched her head, then got up and went to the kitchen to direct Zhao's cooking.

Calling my mother is equivalent to someone washing my face and pulling it, and calling Chunmei is equal to nothing?

Ah Yuan went to Li in a daze, Li just put down the shovel of snow shoveling, and was about to take care of the bad bear child, as soon as he turned around, he was hugged by the bear child's thigh.

"Mother, I decided to call you a mother." Ah Yuan's big eyes looked at Li without blinking,

"Grandma doesn't care about washing her face."

Lee: ?? It's up to you to decide? If you don't decide, so will I!

Li didn't understand the relationship between the two.

Until she heard Ah Yuan say it again, and then coldly announced:

"You'll have to wash your own face in the future!"

"Why don't you ask your mother to wash it?" Ah Yuan was in tears.

Li's face was expressionless: "Don't ask me, ask Chunmei to go." ”

Good guy, if it weren't for the sake of washing your face and daring to love, you would still be preparing Chunmei to the end!

Really! I shouldn't have listened to your father, I should have beaten you yesterday!

Li angrily went to help Zhao set the meal.

A-Yuan stood in place: ...... It's sad!

Even if today's meal is made by the Zhao family, the taste is much normal, and it can't make Ah Yuan happy.

What's even more sad is that when eating, Ah Yuan found out that her father, who was most likely to help her wash her face every day, left early in the morning!

To be exact, the four brothers of the floating family saw that the snow stopped, so they all went to the town to look for work, and it is estimated that they will not come back in ten days and half a month.

Ah Yuan's sad meal is not fragrant, and there is even a piece of nest left, in fact, it is also because today's nest head is added with chaff, which is very loud.

Zhao's cooking taste is normal, but when his father and uncles left, the family's rice began to add bran again.

Li helped Ah Yuan put away the nest head and prepared to give her food again in the evening.

The family had a meal that was neither salty nor light.

When he was about to go to the daily barbecue, Xiao Yang suddenly said timidly:

"Mother, I want to go back to my parents' house while the weather is good.

Da Lang doesn't go to the fourth uncle's place, so he has to tell that over there. ”

Old Yang was tired of listening to her:

"Then you still need to go back, you won't find someone to talk to!

Dozens of miles back and forth, to go to the old lady has to take you two nests on the road.

It's better to go to the entrance of the village to find Lao Wutou and ask him to help him talk when he pulls the ox cart around to send people away. ”

The old Wu Tou at the entrance of the village is a bachelor, he has never started a family in his life, and he is now in his fifties.

Rely on ox carts to send people away, help carry things to make a living, go anywhere in ten miles and eight towns, but the village does not need money.

Even there is no guarantee when the message will arrive, but it will be about half a month at the latest, and the letters in the village that are not in a hurry are all entrusted to him to talk.

On weekdays, Xiao Yang was scolded, and he was honest, but today he was unusual, as if he had thought about it a long time ago, and said:

"What my mother said was that I originally wanted to do the same.

But the person who helped my mother talk last time said that my father has not been in good health recently, and he had a cold a while ago, and I am really worried about it and want to go back to see him. ”

Old Yang looked at her half-squinted, and only spoke after a while:

"Why didn't you mention your father when he was sick?"

Xiao Yang was busy saying:

"It's not that the family was short of money a while ago, I was busy embroidering handkerchiefs, thinking about selling the first embroidery on hand for some money, but before I could say anything, it snowed heavily.

I was delayed for several days, and I don't know what happened to my dad.

But fortunately, the handkerchiefs are all embroidered, and they are all handed over to Erbai to take to the town this morning, and they should be able to sell them for some money. ”

The worry on Xiao Yang's face did not seem to be fake.

Old Yang pondered for a moment and nodded:

"Well, it's your father, the eggs at home are gone, the eldest daughter-in-law, you can bring her two catties of coarse grain.

It's good to go back to my parents' house, and I have to take some if I have more or less.

Take two nests on the road, go early and return early. ”

When the daughter-in-law of the old floating family returned to her parents' house, no matter how difficult it was at home, the old Yang family would not ask anyone to go back empty-handed, lest the relatives on her mother's side say something unpleasant, and it was also to give the daughter-in-law the face she deserved, and also to make the in-laws feel at ease and comfortable.

If the Li family and the others go back, the old Yang family will definitely let them bring more, after all, the Li family and their maiden family are also very righteous to the old floating family.

But what if it's the maiden home that Xiao Yang went back to...... Seriously, giving two catties of coarse grain is enough for her to feel distressed for a while.

Li knew his mother-in-law's heart very well, but he still weighed two catties and handed them to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang glanced at his mother-in-law with a watery look in his eyes, his eyes were quite complicated, and he stood at the door for a while with a cloth bag containing grain.

Biting his lower lip, as if he had made up his mind, he walked away without looking back.

Ah Yuan was sitting on the pony and twisting his head to look around, and just happened to see that Brother Da Lang and Brother Erlang glanced at each other, and then looked in the direction of grandma, their mouths opened slightly as if they wanted to say something, but finally closed their mouths.

As usual, the fire was silently roasted with his head down.
