Yuanyuan saw the familiar handwriting, the short words were like a warm current, stirring in Yuanyuan's heart, as well as the cloth shoes made by Mother Ye's thousands of needles, and the fried skewers made of flour, what a simple and precious gift, in this cold spring day, Yuanyuan suddenly burst into tears, she wiped the tears on her face with her hand, sat on the edge of her bed, stared out the window blankly, only to hear Yu Xiumei say to her grandmother in the hall: "This bag of sweet potatoes, you can leave a little porridge to eat, it is very sweet." ”

Yuan Yuan hurriedly picked up the bag of fried skewers, walked out of the house, and said, "Xiumei, they gave me a big bag of fried skewers, you can take some back and eat it." ”

Sanmao unceremoniously walked up and grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth, humming and said: "Ye Yuliang's fried skewers, they are really delicious, and the braised fish pieces make me addicted." ”

Yu Xiumei saw the fried skewers handed over by Yuanyuan, and excused herself, seeing Yuanyuan pleading again and again, she had to accept it, and Yuanyuan left her to eat lunch before going back, she said: "It's been a few days since I went out, I'd better go home first and then talk about it, and I'll come to play with you when I have time." ”

When Yuanyuan sent her out of the door, she looked back at Yuanyuan, and found that Yuanyuan's eyes were a little red, as if she had just cried, and asked, "Yuanyuan, your eldest aunt is ahead of schedule?" Stomach ache? ”

Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "You know my affairs better than me." ”

Yu Xiumei said: "I'm the roundworm in your stomach, haha, let's go." Sign up at the school and wait for me to go with you. With that, he got on his bike and walked away.

Yuan Yuan returned to the hall, and Sanmao was talking to his grandmother: "Ye Yuliang's grandmother, I have packed a lot of dried loaches, and I will cook them at noon today." ”

Grandma said, "Well, you're really a cat, and you love fish, shrimp, loaches, and other fishy things." ”

Sanmao said: "People who love fish are smart, grandma, look at me, isn't it smart?" ”

Yuan Yuan heard it and said, "You are smart one by one! Yuanyuan remembered that when he first came to his aunt, he was embarrassed to buy toilet paper at the consignment store, and every time he asked Sanmao to help him run errands, if there was any difficulty, as long as Sanmao could help, he would not hesitate to help.

Grandma really took out the loaches and went to the kitchen to fry them, and grandma said to Yuanyuan: "The dishes at noon today are good, Yuanyuan, you go and call Aunt Xinlan to come over for dinner." Alas, listening to those people in front of her, she was very sad this year, her son was gone, she was divorced again, and she found another woman in the Yuan Kuan year, she thought in her heart, it was extremely sad, alas, what can be done? ”

Before grandma finished speaking, Yuanyuan had already walked to Aunt Xinlan's house. When he came to Zhang Xinlan's house, Yuanyuan shouted twice: "Aunt Xinlan, Aunt Xinlan." ”

Zhang Xinlan, who was lying on the bed, responded in a low voice: "Is it Yuanyuan?" ”

Yuan Yuan came to her bedside, saw her face sallow, hair messy lying there, and said, "Aunt Xinlan, hurry up and go to our house for dinner, my grandmother has made a lot of delicious food." Yuanyuan tried her best to tone her tone into a cheerful tone.

Zhang Xinlan said: "Yuanyuan, I won't go, I'm a person who walks into a dead end, don't miss me." ”

When Yuanyuan heard her say this, she stepped forward, lifted her quilt and said, "Aunt Xinlan, hurry up, otherwise, you're welcome." She grabbed Zhang Xinlan's arm and pulled it out.

Zhang Xinlan's heart was hot, and she burst into tears silently, and said: "Yuanyuan, when I hear the laughter and laughter of other people's families for the New Year, I think of my son Huayong coming...... He's—he's already lying on the cold ground, woo-woo...... My life is so miserable...... has been engaged in half his life, with no people and money, and has become a bare-bones commander, woo woo woo...... People say, Huang Lian is bitter, I don't think Huang Lian is as bitter as my life......"

Yuanyuan found a shirt, picked it up and wiped Zhang Xinlan's tears, and couldn't help crying, saying: "Aunt Xinlan, people must have the ambition and courage to get up there where they fall, as long as you don't bow your head, no one can make you ashamed of yourself, the new year has begun, you have to live well, you have to believe in yourself, you can live a wonderful life." Hurry up and get dressed, don't get cold. ”

Zhang Xinlan put on her jacket mechanically and said: "Yuanyuan, you are really a good governor, always comfort me, how strong a person I used to be, Zhou Lishan's parents didn't look down on our family, so I was angry to find someone and let them see, who knows, I recklessly found a Zhang Yuankuan, and got married in a hurry, only to know that although others are honest, short-tempered, and often point fingers, I endured it, thinking about it, gritting my teeth and supporting this family, with Hua Yong, I put my hope on my son's body, How do you know ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Xinlan couldn't speak anymore, choked up, and couldn't breathe.

Yuanyuan helped her hand over the cotton pants and said: "Aunt Xinlan, we all have to look forward, you are still young, there is a suitable person, you find another partner, my grandmother often says, people are three sections of grass, there is always a good section, you have to believe that as long as we move forward, there will be hope in life." ”

Zhang Xinlan is not embarrassed Yuanyuan, she got dressed, wiped the tears on her face and said: "Yuanyuan, I thank you and your grandmother for your concern, you are all my confidants, I am a weak household, no one wants to pay attention to ......" When people are in trouble, the human affection is cold, it is really cold, this Spring Festival, almost no guests have come to her house, and it may be that she did not go out to greet her relatives. My dearest uncle has always complained to her that she shouldn't get divorced, no matter how she says, she wants two people to live together. People think that marriage contains love, or that two people have been in love for a long time, and they also have the element of love, but they don't know how painful and desperate the torture and resentment in the shackles of marriage are, in this case, why can't they untie the suffocating shackles? Why not? This sentence was questioned thousands of times in Zhang Xinlan's heart before she made up her mind to let go. The bitter water in my heart can only be swallowed silently.

Waiting for Yuanyuan to invite Zhang Xinlan over, grandma has already prepared the meals, in the New Year's Festival, you must not shed tears in other people's homes, this custom, also shows that people must be happy in the New Year, smelling the fragrance of the food, Zhang Xinlan showed a smile and said: "Aunt, you are so virtuous, we are so many people, make such a big table of dishes." ”

Zhang Guiying listened, smiled lovingly and said: "At the end of the year, I only have a few days to relax, just get something to eat, and there are no good dishes, come, eat vegetables." As he spoke, he picked up some dishes and put them in Zhang Xinlan's bowl.

Yuanyuan and Sanmao rushed to eat the egg yolk in the salted duck egg, when they were young, because they grabbed the egg yolk to eat, they also cried, which provoked Fang Guangming and said: "Yuanyuan is my sister, I have to let Sanmao's younger brother go." ”

Fang Guangzhuo said: "Sanmao is a boy and a man, so let Sister Yuanyuan be." ”

It is difficult for the Qing officials to cut off the housework, and it is the business of the little children, so the grandmother hurriedly boiled two more salted duck eggs to calm down the storm of grabbing the duck egg yolk. Now that I think about it, I feel funny.
