"Whew."

The cold wind mixed with rain wandered in the streets and alleys of Yunxi County, and the pedestrians on the road wrapped their cotton clothes tightly, lowered their hats, and walked briskly.

The weather was gloomy and the sun was not slanting down, and there were small stalls selling firecrackers on the roadside, and the shouts were endless.

Compared with before, Yunxi County is a lot more lively, and it is a thriving scene.

Yunxi Elementary School.

With a faint smile, Jiazhen sat on the podium, looking at the children below who were struggling to write for the final exam, and the thoughts in her heart had already flown out of the window.

I don't know when, a bell rang, she suddenly came back to her senses, stood up and asked everyone to stop writing, and she went down to collect the paper herself.

"Fengxia, you play in the classroom for a while, and my mother will go to the moral education office to put the papers."

After speaking, Jiazhen walked straight to the education office, put the sorted papers on the table, and saw that the school had no other arrangements, so she went back to the classroom and assigned winter vacation homework to this group of excited children.

She doesn't assign much homework during the winter vacation, or even very little, and the main content is endorsement, after all, some children are reluctant to even buy pen and paper.

After announcing the news of the holiday, the group of children immediately rushed out, and when they passed by the podium, they all waved their hands and said goodbye to Mr. Chen.

Feeling the enthusiasm of this group of children, Jiazhen looked at them with a smile and said goodbye to them gently.

After sending all the students away, Feng Xia had a chance to get up.

Jiazhen squatted down, put her scarf on, and said softly, "Is it cold?" ”

Feng Xia was wearing a bright red cotton suit today, a white wool felt hat, a red scarf around her neck, and even her gloves were red, which looked extremely festive.

Feng Xia shook her head, hugged her arm, and as soon as she said a word, she let out a cold breath, "Mother, is Dad coming back?" ”

After speaking, it seemed that he was afraid that Jiazhen would not understand, and added: "Didn't you say that when I have a holiday, my father will come back?" ”

Jiazhen was stunned for a moment, and pinched her red little face, "You girl, how can you remember these words clearly?" ”

Feng Xia tilted her head and said crisply: "Could it be that my mother lied to me?" ”

Jiazhen touched her head, "Mother didn't say that your father would definitely come back." ”

"Hmph, my mother is a liar, I want my father! I want Daddy! ”

Saying that, Feng Xia was already crying, and Jiazhen hurriedly comforted, "Your father will definitely come back, and everyone will go home for the New Year." ”

Feng Xia lowered her head, "But I want my father to come back now, I haven't seen my father for a long time." ”

Jiazhen took her hand, "Let's go, let's go see if your father has written a letter." ”

When Feng Xia heard this, she ran up directly, took Jiazhen's hand and rushed forward, and Jiazhen hurriedly told her to slow down.

As soon as he walked out of the classroom, a cold wind blew in his face, and all the air conditioning came out, and Jiazhen was wearing a good cotton suit, but even so, his neck was still shrunk by the cold.

The two walked on the stone road, and many people knew Jiazhen and shouted enthusiastically to Teacher Chen.

Jiazhen responded with a smile, she can basically call her name, and she has always had a good memory.

"Mother, you see he's so pitiful." Turning a street, Feng Xia suddenly paused, pointed ahead and said.

Looking in the direction of her finger, a man selling sugar gourds was shouting loudly.

Jiazhen looked at her puzzled, "Why is he pitiful?" ”

Feng Xia looked at her with big clear and bright eyes, "Look, he has so many sugar gourds, and no one buys them for him, he must be very tired, and it's still so cold." ”

Jiazhen tapped her forehead lightly, "You girl, if you want to eat sugar gourd, just say it, you have to beat around the bush every time." ”

Feng Xia was serious and said: "I don't like to eat sugar gourds, I just want to help him, my father said that if you want to do good with people outside, you can help if you can." ”

Jiazhen looked at her with a smile, "I really don't like to eat sugar gourds, so the mother will leave." ”

Feng Xia hurriedly hugged her leg and said with a smile: "Mother, it's actually quite delicious to eat a bunch once in a while." ”

"Eat a bunch once in a while? I think you only ate it three or four days ago. ”

Having said that, Jiazhen still walked over and bought two strings of sugar gourds, one for Fengxia and one for Youqing.

"Mother, you eat too." Feng Xia lifted the candy wrapper and handed over the first sugar gourd.

Jiazhen stretched out her mouth and bit one, took her hand and continued to walk forward, and said vaguely: "Fengxia, you have to eat less sugar, if you eat your teeth badly, Dad won't hurt you." ”

Feng Xia inherited Xu Fugui and gave birth to a beautiful white tooth, and every time she grinned, others would praise her.

Of course, Jiazhen's teeth are also beautiful, with two rows of teeth neatly aligned and a gentle smile.

Feng Xia snorted, "Dad hurts me the most." ”

All the way to Chen's mansion, knocking on the door, Aunt Chen opened the thick door, happily shouted Jiazhen Fengxia, and hurriedly let them in.

"Grandpa!"

Walking into the hall, Feng Xia immediately ran over on two legs, and the two pigtails swayed.

"Hehe, Fengxia, it's freezing, come and bake the fire." Chen Liping said with a smile, there was a brazier not far in front of him.

The ventilation around the hall is covered by a screen, so it is much hotter than the outside.

"Feng Xia is on vacation, right? Would it be good to spend a few more days with grandpa here? ”

Feng Xia is a little clever ghost, "I listen to my mother, by the way, grandpa, did my father write a letter?" ”

Xu Fugui would write a letter every ten days and a half months, and the letter would be sent from the provincial capital to the Wenchang bus station, and then he would ask Dai Xiaozhong to pick up the letter, and when he returned to Yunxi County, he would send it to Chen's house.

So every time Jiazhen came to ask Chen Liping, she wrote a letter to Fugui herself, first to Chen Liping, who transferred it to Dai Xiaozhong, and then sent it to the provincial capital from Wenchang area.

Perhaps, when the post office opens the road from the provincial capital to Yunxi County in the future, it will be much more convenient to write letters.

"Haha, I talk about your father all day long." Seeing that Feng Xia kept shaking her arm, Chen Liping said helplessly: "It's written, na, you can take it and see it yourself." ”

Feng Xia took the envelope and couldn't wait to look at it, as soon as she opened it, she was surprised: "Dad's writing has become better again, better than Feng Xia's writing." ”

After speaking, she read word by word, she is very talented in learning, even if she is only in the second grade, but she already has a lot of literacy.

She knows most of the words in the letter, and even if she can't do a few words, it will not affect the understanding of the meaning of the sentence.

After reading most of the letter, Feng Xia suddenly cried out, and two tears appeared on her red face in an instant.

Jiazhen asked her what was wrong, she was worried about whether Fugui had an accident in the provincial capital, but Feng Xia said, "Dad said he won't come back!" ”

Chen Liping's eyes widened, "This kid can't be fascinated by the world of flowers in the provincial city and don't want to come back, right?" ”

"Dad, Fugui is not such a person."

As she spoke, Jiazhen took the letter and read it herself
