Back at home, the icy air speaks of the emptiness of home.

Yang Xiaotao closed the door, lit the lamp and sat down, thinking melancholy.

When I came to this world, I became a loner and a little lonely.

"If you come, you will be safe!"

After sitting for a while, watching Xiaowei get into the table, Yang Xiaotao got up and started to light the stove.

The flames shone faintly, and there was some temperature in the room.

However, compared to the snowflakes drifting outside and the howling north wind, this temperature can't withstand the cold at all, let alone sleep.

"Alas, I have to solve my personal problems, and I have a warm bed."

Yang Xiaotao laughed at himself, but then he thought about it, this made the girl come to the nest of birds and beasts, isn't that a scourge?

Shake your head, dispel the mess, and start cooking.

The eggs I just bought were taken out of the space, and then half of the cabbage was cut, the pan was heated, the oil was poured, the eggs were fried with cabbage, and then two wowotou were heated, and this was a simple dinner.

Yang Xiaotao began to eat, and the uncle's family was also ready.

However, Yi Zhonghai was not in the mood to eat, and he was still panicked in his heart, and he was typical of himself.

An aunt didn't dare to speak on the side, there was no status for him to speak in this family, and a lot of money had been spent over the years, but there was no child.

She even wondered if it was her problem.

But she didn't dare to say it.

"Grab something, let's go to the backyard!"

Aunt Yi naturally knew where to go, and quickly cleaned up neatly.

The old couple walked into the backyard with Fengyue and knocked on the old lady's door.

When she entered the house, the old lady also looked decadent and even a little frightened.

Especially the sentence Yang Xiaotao said, "It's not that the old man has become bad, but the bad person has become old", her heart jumped when she heard it.

When I was young, I experienced a lot, who didn't have a secret to survive?

When I'm older, I believe in some things and don't, and I think nonsense.

After all these years, he has been quiet and has lived a stable life.

But she is not ignorant, with her age and identity, she walks the streets and alleys in this alley, and she comes into contact with many people, and she knows who she is and what her temperament is.

Especially for the people in the yard, the door is basically clear.

It's just that this time she looked away, she thought she was a good boy, but after the death of her relatives, she "changed her temperament" and became so ruthless.

Just when the deaf old lady was thinking about how to deal with Yang Xiaotao. Yi Zhonghai and his wife walked in and interrupted the deaf old lady's thoughts.

The three of them sat together and were relatively silent.

Since the three of them began to discuss how to provide for the elderly, so many years have passed, and they have been developing towards the ideal situation.

To this day, someone is starting to shake up, and damn it, it's someone they've never paid attention to before.

"It's all the fault of that little prodigal hoof."

The deaf old lady slammed her crutch on the ground and said viciously.

Yi Zhonghai and the others knew who they were talking about, and they both lowered their heads.

"At the beginning, I said don't let him marry into the Jia family, but the two of you didn't listen."

"If it weren't for that, there wouldn't be today's incident, and we wouldn't have to be scolded like this, just say that we don't die."

Uncle Yi continued to be silent.

He also regretted it in his heart, regretting that he didn't see Yang Xiaotao's face in advance, if he had known that he was so capable, he would never provoke this evil god.

In his eyes, the current Yang Xiaotao is a god.

"Old lady, now it's time to find a way to get the stupid pillar out."

An aunt spoke, she knew the role of the stupid pillar on their old couple, to say something unpleasant, the deaf old lady still had their help, and when they were old, they could only look at Jia Dongxu and the stupid pillar.

"Yes, old lady, this must be done as soon as possible."

"If you really keep a case record, the stupid pillar will be ruined in the future."

Yi Zhonghai also spoke, and the deaf old lady lowered her head and sighed, she really liked the stupid pillar, and she also hoped that he would be well.

"I'll go tomorrow."

"However, they are all human spirits, and if you use one favor, you will have one less."

"In the future, you have to take care of the stupid pillar."

The old couple both nodded.

The deaf old lady said again, "And that boy, don't mess with him." ”

"I know."

"Hmm!"

Front yard, Yan Fugui's house.

"Dad, why do I want money for this errand?"

Yan Jiefang looked entangled, he went to the police station today and called Director Zhang and them, but after the incident, he found that no one paid attention to him, let alone gave him errand fees.

"You're stupid, people didn't say to give money, you ran out, stupid you forget it."

Yan Jiecheng, the boss on the side, sneered.

The three mothers beside him led Yan Xie Kuang and said to the second child, "You, you have to see clearly in the future before running." ”

"The first uncle and the second uncle are called people, and they won't give money, but it's hard for others to say."

"Especially Yang Xiaotao, this incident is the beginning of him, and maybe there will be more in the future."

"I know my mother, and I will listen to Yang Xiaotao in the future."

Yan Jiefang nodded, but Yan Fugui on the side interjected.

"If you earn money and hand it over, it will be your food bill."

"Food? Dad, I haven't made any money yet? ”

Yan Jiefang immediately defended that now the eldest in the family is an adult, and he is looking for a job, and he starts to pay subsidies to his family every month.

But he is still a primary school student, how can he make money?

"Underage? That's even more to hand over the money. ”

Yan Fugui's eyes flashed, and he looked determined.

"But, me, I'm running errands!"

Yan Jiefang still wanted to struggle, but the three mothers on the side snorted coldly.

"Errands? A dime is enough. ”

"Listen to your father, you will not be poor in this life."

The two husbands and wives mixed doubles, Yan Jiefang naturally could not be spared, and after determining the distribution of benefits, he could only accept his fate.

Yan Jiecheng on the side pouted, "I knew it was like this." ”

Yan Fugui glanced at the son in the house, the younger son is still young, and it is a little early to calculate, but the road must be paved in advance, and when they grow up, they can follow the footsteps of the brothers.

"Okay, let's have a meeting and talk about the New Year."

"This year, we will ...... like this"

In the middle courtyard, Liu Haizhong sat in the middle of the living room, Liu Guangqi sat on one side, and the second aunt stood on the other side.

Below, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu brothers are standing.

"Ahem!"

Liu Haizhong coughed, learning the way of speaking of the leaders in the factory, "Calling everyone for a meeting today, there are two main aspects!" ”

"First, it's about to be the New Year......

In the Jia family, bursts of crying appeared from time to time, Jia Zhang's curses continued to penetrate the snowflakes, and occasionally a rough howling male voice echoed on the snow.

In the cold night of Silly Zhu's house, He Yushui hugged his stomach and shrunk in the quilt, wanting to sleep, but he couldn't sleep, and the tears of grievance fell one by one.

In this cold world, no one cares about her and thinks about her.

Uncle Yi, the Jia family, and the deaf old lady, they are all stupid pillars and people who are useful to them.

For He Yushui, this poor girl, after all, is someone else's woman, and she didn't take this little girl to heart.

Yang Xiaotao had eaten, lay on the bed and chatted with Xiaowei for a while, of course, most of them were Yang Xiaotao telling about the New Year, and Xiaowei was listening.

I don't know if I understand, or what mobile phone, what online game, what computer, I don't know if I understand.

In short, this night, listening to the sound of snow falling outside, talking boundless words, and dreaming about the things of another world.

When the day dawned, the heavens and the earth were white.

This year is a small year, and the 29th day of the lunar month is Chinese New Year's Eve.

When I woke up in the morning, the sky had cleared, and last night the snow was like goose feathers, and when I went out, it was no more than my ankles.

Yang Xiaotao took a wooden board to pile the snow in the yard into the corner, if it was in the countryside in the past, the snow was a natural refrigerator, and the New Year's goods could be eaten until the New Year.

It's just that in this era, there is not much to eat, not to mention that Yang Xiaotao still has storage space, where time stands still and does not rot over the years.

The thick snow pushed aside, and then swept the yard clean with bald pillars.

Uncle Chen next door also got up to clear the snow, yesterday he and his wife went to a friend's house as a guest, and when he came back in the evening, he heard the news from the gossip of the neighbor.

"Boy, I heard about it yesterday."

"Lao Yi, that bad seed was angry and vomited blood?"

Uncle Chen stretched out his thumb as he spoke, his face was very proud.

Yang Xiaotao was also interested, obviously the older generation knew a lot about Yi Zhonghai.

It's a pity that Uncle Chen didn't want to say more, and after the two cleaned up the yard, Uncle Chen asked him to go to the house for the New Year today, but Yang Xiaotao refused.

After all, this is his first year in this world.

Uncle Chen didn't say much, anyway, it was close, and he would send a bowl of dumplings the next day.

After the yard was cleaned up, Yang Xiaotao went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some coal, it was too cold this winter, so it was right to prepare more.

Then I read a book at home to pass the time.

In the front yard, the three masters swept the front of the door, set up a square table, covered with red paper, and a dilapidated inkstone next to it, holding a brush in his hand, standing in front of the table to brew feelings.

Many people stopped at the table, waiting for the work to be completed, and then left a handful of peanuts or a handful of melon seeds, put them in a porcelain basin on the side, and took the couplet representing the festivity home and pasted it on the mottled wooden door.

When the New Year is celebrated, couplets will be posted on the door to pray for prosperity in the coming year.

As for Yang Xiaotao, there is no need, his father died at home, and according to custom, he will not be red this year.

After working for most of the day, the entire courtyard changed color.

On the couplet, the child bought small firecrackers with the money he had asked for from his parents, and in the yard and alley, there were sounds everywhere, all of which were joyful sounds.

Yang Xiaotao stood in the courtyard for a while, feeling the smell of the year that had disappeared in his previous life, and wanted to be happy in it, but a fear rose in his heart.

"Perhaps, it's really afraid of blending in."

Yang Xiaotao laughed at himself, "Ridiculous traverser." ”

In the afternoon, the smell of the New Year was stronger, and people were smiling when they met, even the mean Jia Zhang was talking and laughing with everyone in the courtyard.

Of course, she can't change her narrow-minded psychology of taking advantage of small advantages, she can't say three sentences, she purses her mouth, and she doesn't say less scolding.

Yang Xiaotao also saw the stupid pillar, although his nose was blue and his face was swollen, he picked it up at home and prepared for the New Year.

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Xiaotao thought of the deaf old lady.

This old guy has a bit of a favor in this Sijiu City, so she should have made a move.

When Silly Zhu saw Yang Xiaotao, he couldn't hide the disgust and hatred in his eyes, but he couldn't hold back.

I don't know if it's the New Year or someone admonished me, all in all, if the stupid pillar doesn't come to find trouble, Yang Xiaotao won't be uncomfortable by himself.

In the evening, Uncle Chen came over again to invite, but Yang Xiaotao still refused.

In the courtyard, the cheerful atmosphere began to diffuse, and soon brought out the flavor of the New Year.

Silly Zhu led He Yushui to an uncle's house, prepared a table of big dishes, and even brought the Jia family over, plus the deaf old lady, Yi Zhonghai's house is the most lively place.

Of course, the same is true of other people's homes, only in the corner of the ear room, the cold candlelight illuminates the empty room, and a person quietly savores the New Year that has disappeared in memory.

Yang Xiaotao kept the year until twelve o'clock, and then stewed all the meat he bought, and asked him to make dumplings, which is estimated to not even be able to match the noodles.

Although the craftsmanship is not good, it is always right to remember 'add more salt', so this year, I quietly spent it in the salty pork stewed cabbage.

Of course, it can't be said to be a person, because on Yang Xiaotao's chest, there is also a Xiaowei.

Now Xiaowei is Yang Xiaotao's relative.
