After spending the first New Year at the Li family, Qin Yuanyuan found that the guests of the Li family had not been interrupted since the beginning of the year.

Today is the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and it is still snowing heavily.

Holding the child, standing at the door, feeling the slightest warmth from the house, without a trace of chill.

Looking at a plainly dressed woman who got down from a red flag, she looked incredulous.

Although she works in the city, she is still an ordinary clerk, and in real life, let alone say hello, she has never even seen her.

I didn't expect to see it today!

And he smiled at her.

When she was at a loss, Li Lan had already stepped forward and grabbed the woman's arm, and said with a smile, "Aunt Hui, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?" ”

"I don't need your help, I'm not at the point where I can't walk."

Wang Hui knocked off Li Lan's hand, stepped forward to tease the child in Qin Yuan's hand, and then said with a smile, "Like you, you will be a handsome guy in the future." ”

"Come into the house and talk."

He Fang and Wang Hui have not dealt with each other since they were in college, but everyone is in their sixties in front of them, and the previous grievances and grievances, now looking back, they just look at each other and smile.

Youth can never go back.

The two of them, one from a small cold village in the northernmost part of China, and the other from the most remote mountainous area of Sichuan and Chongqing.

In the first half of his life, in order to survive, he filled his stomach, refused to accept his fate, and struggled in hesitation, and in the second half of his life, he did not hesitate to do so for the progress and development of society.

At the same time, he also changed his life destiny.

He Fang looked at Wang Hui, who was still sassy, thinking that she had never been married in her life, her parents had passed away, and she had no children or daughters, so how lonely she should be in her life.

Tears were stored in my eyes, and they almost didn't come out.

"Boss He, don't you bake your white hair?"

After Wang Hui entered the house, he teased.

"I only baked it a few years ago, and it's cold these days, so I haven't gone out, can I still drink?"

He Fang smiled and said, "You like to eat hot pot, let's eat this at noon." ”

"Drinking, I can't compare to you, I can't be scared."

Wang Hui said indifferently.

Qin Yuanyuan on the side watched her mother-in-law and Wang Hui talking and laughing, with an incredible expression.

Li Lan took a step behind, still standing around the corner of the door, and explained to Qin Yuanyuan, "Mom and Dad and Aunt Hui are college classmates. ”

"They're college classmates?"

Qin Yuanyuan was very surprised.

"Your baby is yawning, let's go inside."

Li Lan looked at the child in Qin Yuanyuan's hand, it was glutinous, and his heart melted when he saw it.

Before he knew it, he had a son and became a father.

The world is truly amazing.

After a while, the child fell asleep, Qin Yuanyuan took the child upstairs, and Li Lan sat on the sofa to make tea and pour water for everyone.

I only heard Wang Hui say, "I will retire next year, but I want to go back to my hometown to retire, but you also know the local affairs, don't let me go back and give birth to something, and my reputation will be ruined."

I can't go back to this hometown.

Just wait for me to die, let my eldest nephew take my ashes back and scatter them in the river. ”

He Fang said with a smile, "It seems that it is still the best for ordinary people like me, I can go back when I want, I can stay as long as I want, and no one said anything." ”

"Is this a joke for me?"

Wang Hui couldn't help but glance at her.

"I didn't mean that,"

He Fang said with a smile, "The nephew you said is Wang Qilin, right, I heard that business is doing well now?" ”

Wang Hui rarely asks for help in her life, let alone He Fang.

The only exception was because her nephew was admitted to the university, and He Fang was the principal at that time, so she asked He Fang to help take care of it.

For such a trivial matter, He Fang naturally had no reason to refuse, called Wang Qilin to the office, personally supervised it twice, and then graduated, and had no contact with this child.

Wang Hui took Li Lan's teacup, hugged it in her arms, and continued, "In my family, there are many men, but unfortunately there are few who are promising. ”

Li Lan has long passed the age of pretending to be ignorant, and now that he can hear the voiceover, he naturally said, "Auntie, if you have time, you can introduce me, our buddies can be everywhere, I haven't seen him yet." ”

Wang Hui said with relief, "When you have time to go to my place, I will introduce you to you, and you two can drink together." ”

"You, you've changed so much, I didn't even think you'd say that."

Li He couldn't help but sigh.

In the past, Wang Hui would never do such a thing for relatives and friends, but now she is willing to pave the way for her nephew.

Wang Hui said, "I, I haven't done anything bad in my life, but I'm not sure I haven't offended anyone, when people go to tea and cool, the world is hot and cold, my family has never enjoyed my benefits in this life, but I can't let them follow me unlucky."

I, too, am a human being, and when I am old, my heart is much softer, so I have to think more about them. ”

"That's the reason,"

Li He nodded, and then said, "Don't worry, with me in the business field, he can't suffer." ”

"I'm relieved to have your words." Wang Huile said hehehe, "It's a pity, you can't drink, otherwise I'll accompany you for a few drinks at noon." ”

"I can't drink liquor, I'll drink a red bar with you, and everyone will drink less."

While talking, the aunt came over, the meal was ready, and Li He invited Wang Hui to the restaurant.

After eating a steaming hot pot and drinking half a glass of red wine, Wang Hui didn't stay long, and left directly.

Li He stood at the intersection, looked at the cars that were getting farther away, and rubbed his frozen hands, "It's old, it's all old." ”

He Fang suddenly asked, "How is Lao Zhao's health?"

I heard that there was an operation, but you didn't go to see it? ”

Li He shook his head and said, "No, it's inconvenient to go, it's terrifying."

When he's really gone, I'll just send a wreath. ”

Zhao Legend is his college classmate, and in order to avoid suspicion, the two have only met two or three times in the past ten years.

The fifteenth day of the first month.

Li Lan didn't go out, so he was at home with the baby, and suddenly received a call from Jiang Xingyuan, a college classmate, and they had dinner together in the evening.

Open-air barbecues are seen as a killer of air pollution, and in the past two years, there are almost no barbecue stalls in the urban area.

In order to eat a barbecue with the aroma of charcoal barbecue, the two drove to Mentougou in the suburbs.

This is the only pure mountainous area in the capital, mountain after mountain, mountain after ridge, the old saying in the past is: there is a mouthful of porridge at home, not the door to the ditch.

Li Lan remembered that his Uncle Su Ming told him that at that time, people in the countryside would rather go to the northeast to open up wasteland than go to Mentougou to dig coal, which was dangerous and hard.

Moreover, in his memory, except for those who sell briquettes at the mouth of his house's alley, Mentougou is the one who sells briquettes, and the gap between going to the city is quite large.
