The mountains outside the mountain are covered with snow, but there is not much snow to be seen on the streets of Baoqing Huancheng.

No. 1 Middle School is not far from the station, and it took 15 minutes to arrive.

Santana pulled over, and Zhou Kun asked, "When are you going to start school?" ”

"The twelfth day of the first month."

"Do you have a phone at home?"

"I don't have it at home, but I have a commissary across the door."

Zhou Kun quickly took out a pen and a transcript, "What's the number?" ”

The two exchanged contact information with each other, and Lu An said "thank you" and ran to the exit of the bus station in one go.

He didn't enter the station, but waited near the exit, so that he could often get on the train in the shortest time. Because after the shuttle bus in the station queues out of the station, it usually has to wait on the side for more than ten or twenty minutes.

Seeing that he was carrying a bag and still looking like a student, an aunt broke out of several women in a snatching style, shook the fat burlap bag and asked loudly:

"Where are you going, son? Go to the Golden Stone Bridge? ”

"He doesn't go to Jinshiqiao, he's from Qianzhen, I recognize, and often takes our car."

Before Lu An could reply, a woman who looked like a young woman next to him had already reached out and pulled him over, and then walked forward vigorously.

The young woman was not very strong, but she was very strong, and she walked with a tiger, for fear that the duck in her hand would fly.

Aunt Sackcloth looked suspicious and unhappy, and her constipated face almost spat fragrantly.

Lu An asked, "How much?" ”

“15。”

After speaking, the young woman looked back at him and explained skillfully: "Now that the Spring Festival is traveling, it is snowing again, and you are familiar faces, we have already given you the lowest price on this road." ”

Lu Ancai didn't believe this nonsense, but he didn't bother to argue, he just wanted to go home early, "Is there a place in the car?" ”

"Yes, there were fewer people in the car on this day, and there were a lot of seats."

The young woman didn't lie to him this time, there was really a place in the car.

And unexpectedly, he even ran into an acquaintance, Wei Fangyuan.

"Fang Yuan, why are you here?"

"Huh? Didn't Luan go back the other day? ”

When they saw each other, the two exited to say hello almost at the same time.

They looked at each other for a while, then looked at each other and smiled, and Lu An sat down next to her and said:

"There was something going on a few days ago, so it was delayed, what about you?"

Wei Fangyuan replied, "I stayed at my sister's house for a few days. ”

Lu An glanced at her and asked half-truthfully, "It can't be to hide from Zeng Lingbo, right?" ”

His mind was dismantled, and Wei Fangyuan looked a little embarrassed, but finally admitted:

"I know that Lu An is so smart, I know that I can't hide it from you."

Lu An smiled: "Actually, it was obvious that you didn't go home with us last time, it's not hard to guess." ”

Wei Fangyuan's eyes turned around in the car, and then around outside the car, and he hesitated for a while before asking, "Do you think I'm excessive?" ”

Lu An stretched out his hand and touched his schoolbag and shook his head: "Everyone has everyone's right to choose, not to mention that the three of us grew up together, it is not easy to be in the same boat from preschool all the way to now, I respect your choice." ”

Hearing this, Wei Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and unconsciously took away the hand that was holding his heart's clothes, and then explained:

"Lu An, in fact, I don't want to hide it from you, I once saw Zeng Lingbo's father slashing people with a machete with his own eyes at Jinshiqiao, and more than a dozen people surrounded one person.

That scene, that scene was very violent, I still think about it and I'm scared, and the people in the village say that Zeng Lingbo is very similar to his father in terms of temper and personality, I"

"You don't need to explain, you can understand."

Lu An responded, and then joked: "But then again, Zeng Lingbo's father is a spoiled wife, and he is like a baby to his wife, what is good to buy, and there is nothing to say." ”

Thinking of the woman who didn't touch the spring water with her hands, Wei Fangyuan couldn't refute it.

There was a person to talk with, the road was not stuffy, but the shuttle bus broke down soon after Jianhua and broke down, and the driver said at the beginning that it was a trivial matter, so don't worry.

After half an hour of tinkering, the driver said helplessly under everyone's urging: "I don't know what the fault is, so I have to call the master to repair it." ”

Some people expressed great dissatisfaction: "How long will it take to fix it?" ”

The driver didn't dare to make any more public anger this time, and said honestly: "There is no shop in front of the village here, and the snow on the road is so thick that I can't see a few cars a day, and I don't have a good idea." ”

Seeing that a few crop men began to speak rudely, the driver had to quickly add: "Otherwise, if you are willing to wait, you can wait in the car."

If you don't want to wait, I've seen that there are other buses coming up behind the meeting, I'll say hello when the time comes, and let people pick you up. ”

Someone asked, "When will it go?" ”

The driver said, "It depends on luck, if you are lucky, it will be fast, and if you are unlucky, you may go at night."

On this day, we are all risking our lives to earn money, and most people dare not get out of the car. ”

As it turned out, everyone was out of luck.

I waited for an hour to get the next bus, and it was a different road, so I could only take it to Qijiang along the way.

The two cars merged into one car, and the originally empty position suddenly became a hot item, Lu An pushed Wei Fangyuan to squeeze it, and it took a lot of effort to occupy the seat.

As a result, the butt was not yet hot, and the old driver in front of me suddenly scolded: Malegobi, this is terrible!

The people in the car followed the prestige, and suddenly there was a gloom.

I saw a landslide on the road ahead, and the road was completely cut off.

A boulder the size of a house lies in the middle of the road, let alone today, and there is no ten days and a half to think of driving.

Everyone shouted at the big stone and scolded the mother for a while, and finally there was no way, the driver returned part of the money, and everyone began to go over the mountain and walk the path back to the front town.

"Give me the bag."

Climbing up the mountain, Lu An took the initiative to take Wei Fangyuan's schoolbag. Her schoolbag is like a pregnant woman's breasts, bulging and heavy.

Tired and panting, Wei Fangyuan was not hypocritical, as the youngest daughter of the village party secretary, she was pampered and raised since she was a child, and she just wanted to study and get out of this mountain.

Even though the trail is taken, it is still far and there are 3 mountains to climb on the way back.

When he reached the third seat, Wei Fangyuan had already vomited and couldn't breathe, and two big blood blisters appeared on his feet.

She pressed her hands on her knees, bent over and said breathlessly, "I used to love snow, and today and in the future, I, I don't want to see this kind of ghost weather again." ”

The mountain road is not easy to walk, and this time it is still a snowy day, so it is even more difficult to walk, and it is particularly laborious.

To be honest, Lu An was also very tired carrying two schoolbags, but he still held her arm with one free hand and cheered up:

"It's almost there, hold on any longer, and walk two miles past this mountain to the town."

With his help, Wei Fangyuan endured the pain in his feet, gritted his teeth and started on the road again, "Lu An, how far have we come?" ”

Lu Ann roughly estimated, "Hmm... It's 20 miles, I don't know how much, but we've been walking for more than 3 hours. ”

Wei Fangyuan looked up at the sky, and then looked ahead, and found that the people who set off together had long since disappeared, leaving only a series of chaotic footprints on the mountain road.

When passing by a barren mountain cemetery, she was a little scared, and said with courage in her heart: "Luan, thank you for helping me, I'll sing to you." ”

"Okay."

"I'm half-drunk and tired, wandering in the twilight."

"This song is good, is it Jacky Cheung's?"

"Yes, Jacky Cheung's "I only want to love one person for the rest of my life", I heard it from my sister. ”

At first, only Wei Fangyuan sang alone, and later some songs were sung by Lu Anhui, so he also sang them along.

It's just that I forgot the words while singing, and I don't know what to sing later, anyway, I followed the troubled waters inside and sang to the front town.

Finally coming out of the mountain, Wei Fangyuan shouted happily: "Ah! It's finally out, Luan, and I'm inviting you to eat ravioli. ”

Lu An said: "Cheng, Miss Wei has never been short of money, so I'm not welcome." ”

"Where are we going to eat?"

"Let's go to Qian Yuejin wonton shop."

"Oh, the proprietress there is better than ravioli."

"Hey, don't break it."

"Hee-hee, you're so bad."

Climbing mountains and wading all the way, the two of them were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and they ordered a big bowl of wontons as soon as they sat down.

It cost a total of 3 bucks.

"Lu An, I've eaten wontons for more than ten years, and I've never thought that wontons are as delicious as they are today, they're so delicious."

As soon as the wontons were served on the table, Wei Fangyuan first couldn't wait to drink the hot soup, and then instigated a wonton to his mouth, looking satisfied.

Lu An snorted, there was no time to talk nonsense with her, the damn grin, she was about to be dizzy from the fragrant wontons.

After filling his stomach, Wei Fangyuan followed Lu An to the tailor shop and found that the door of the shop was closed today.

Then the two went to the town non-stop, but unfortunately, there was a holiday after the exam yesterday.

Standing at the school gate, Wei Fangyuan asked, "Where are we going next?" Go back? ”

Lu An turned around and walked back: "I'm going to buy some meat, and I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, your feet are so tired, why don't you go to Shimen Station and wait for me?" ”

Wei Fangyuan said: "No, I'll go with you, and I'll buy some gifts for my parents." ”

It took a lot of effort to chop 2 catties of beef, 3 catties of pork, and buy two pairs of ladies' leather boots with velvet and two pairs of leather gloves.

In the end, I also bought two scarves of different colors.

On such a cold day, he originally wanted to buy some more charcoal for the winter, but after taking a look at the fat bar on his side, he gave up again, and the way back was full of side mountain roads, and he couldn't help her.

Qianzhen is 12 miles away from the reservoir, and the two of them trampled the snow "creaking" with one heavy foot and one foot lightly.

It took almost 2 hours to get home.

Coming to the crossroads, Wei Fangyuan had a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe, and the girl's heart burst and turned around in place:

"Woo. It's not easy, it's finally here, Luan, thank you. ”

Lu An gave her the schoolbag: "Alas, don't thank you, you have thanked countless times in the past ten years, and my ears can hear the cocoon." ”

Wei Fangyuan stuck out his tongue cutely, took the schoolbag and left.

It's already past 5 o'clock in the evening, and it's dinner time, and Lu An can smell at least 6 different dishes when he stands at the crossroads.

There was a little straw dog in the commissary that ran out of the house to kill him, but he was directly frightened by his stone, and retracted suddenly, "clang", and the dog's head hit the door panel.

Suddenly, the little grass dog whined and whined...

Grandma's bear! I didn't come back for two months, and even the dog felt like a bully.

Lu An entered the hall and saw no one.

Inside, the kitchen was lit up by the stove fire, and the sound of a vegetable shovel came.

It is estimated that she heard the movement outside, Song Jia came out with a vegetable spatula in one hand and a pot lid in the other, and was very surprised to see Lu An standing alone in the center of the room:

"Brother, brother, you're back."

Lu An put things on the ground, looked up at her, remembered what Sister Qingchi said two days ago, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart:

"You're cooking again today, and the eldest sister isn't at home?"

Song Jia stared at the things in the burlap bag with straight eyes, and asked happily, "Brother, did you buy shoes for me?" ”

"Yes, I bought it, you and your eldest sister have a pair of each, and I also bought gloves and a scarf, it's too cold this day, I think you can use it."

As he spoke, Luan took the things out of the burlap bag one by one.

Song Jia looked left and right, holding it in her hand and gesturing, her face couldn't stop laughing.

He asked, "Do you like it?" ”

Song Jia put the colored scarf around her neck, circled it again, and couldn't help but say happily: "Good-looking, good-looking, brother, you have a really good eye." ”

The scarf was satisfied, the gloves were satisfied, and the velvet boots captured Song Jia's heart, and after stroking it lovingly, she realized that she remembered the second brother's question just now:

"The eldest sister went to my aunt's house to help, and my aunt sold a new brick kiln this month, planning to do a red brick business."

Brick kiln red brick business?

Ouch, my sister didn't mention it, he forgot about it, the eldest aunt and the second aunt made a fortune later, isn't it just this business?

Trying to memorize it, but couldn't recall too many details, Lu An asked, "How long has the eldest sister been there, and is she still coming back for dinner?" ”

Song Jia told: "The eldest sister went in the morning, and said that she wouldn't come back for dinner, so she asked me to cook it myself." ”

Luan went into the kitchen, "What did you cook?" ”

Song Jia followed up: "Brother, I'm frying tofu." ”

Lu An looked into the pot and immediately frowned: "Just this one dish?" ”

Song Jia looked at him strangely: "I'm just going to eat alone, how many dishes do I want?"

Our family doesn't have gold and silver, is it like those landlords on TV who set up a table of dishes? ”

Lu An secretly said that he was confused, his sister's temperament was more critical than that of his eldest sister, how could he eat well at home alone.

Without saying a word, he went to the hall and brought in the pork, then took up the knife in his hand, cut a catty, rinsed both sides with a lot of water, and commanded:

"Go, prepare a handful of garlic sprouts and red peppers, and my brother will show you a hand today."

Song Jia couldn't help but be greedy when she saw the meat, and wanted to say, "Brother, wait for the eldest sister to come back and eat it", but after receiving the undoubted eyes of the second brother, she hurriedly put down the vegetable shovel and ran to the backyard to work.

"Brother, I heard from my eldest sister that you can make money by painting, is it true?"

Across the threshold, Song Jia asked.

"Hmm."

Song Jia lowered her voice, "Is there really 60,000?" ”

"Hmm."

Seeing her exaggerated expression, Lu An smiled, and then asked with a straight face: "Why don't you use 20 yuan a month for living expenses?" ”

Knowing that if this question is not answered well, the second brother may be about to attack himself, Song Jia rolled his eyes and said:

"Jingjing's father is not a butcher, he has to deliver food to her every day, and Jingjing often gives me half of it, so I don't need to buy food."

Lu Anxin half of this said.

Yan Jingjing is indeed good with her sister, and she is indeed a very generous person.

But to say that Butcher Yan goes to deliver food every day, he doesn't believe it.

In addition to being a butcher, Butcher Yan is also a card ghost, and he often can't distinguish between east and west, north and south when he sits at the card table, how can he always think about his daughter?

Lu An didn't care about the past, but took out the prepared 1,000 yuan from his pocket and gave it to her: "This is the tuition and miscellaneous fees for the next semester, and you can take the extra money yourself."

Remember to buy more food, eat better, dress better, our family is not short of money now, don't you save me, you know? ”

Seeing so much money for the first time, Song Jia's eyes immediately straightened, but she didn't pick it up:

"Brother, I don't need so much, 5"

"What are you talking to me about? Brother is now selling for 20,000 yuan for a painting, which is still a little short. Lu An deliberately bluffed and stuffed the money into her pocket.

Song Jia was still frightened: "Brother, this is 1,000 yuan, a lot of money." ”

Lu An turned around and gave her a slap in the face, and put on a posture of being a brother: "What's wrong with 1000?" Is it a lot?

You collect this money yourself, how can the girl's family do without any private money?

I'll get 40,000 yuan for my eldest sister when I go back. ”

Song Jia put her hand in her pocket and held the wad of money, and sure enough, she was immediately taken astray: "40,000? So much? ”

Lu An waved his hand and was very sassy: "It's not bad money, 40,000 is a chicken."

When Brother Ming gives you the entire 400,000 back, I will make sure to look at you with flowers. ”

Song Jia put the washed garlic seedlings on the cutting board, and reminded with a smile: "Brother, you are swearing." ”

Lu An scratched his head: "Yes, this is Mandarin, and people in the capital like to add one at the back." ”

The dinner was very rich, with meat, tofu, and diced radish, and the brother and sister ate it with a mouthful of oil.

"Brother, I want to go back to No. 1 Middle School."

In the middle of the meal, Song Jia said.

Lu An wanted to ask her why she didn't go to Baoqing, but thinking of her stiff relationship with the Meng family, she suddenly changed her tone:

"Longhui No. 1 Middle School is good, it's good, I heard that 2 Tsinghua Peking University can be guaranteed every year, you have to work hard to get this place in the future."

"yes, that's what I thought."

Song Jia started the school top mode this semester, and she was the first in the four exams, and now she has a mysterious confidence in herself.

Then she said, "Jingjing is also going to No. 1 Middle School." ”

Lu An asked casually: "Is Jingjing's score enough, your school can take a maximum of 10 exams a year, right?" ”

Song Jia blinked: "It's not enough, her grades are only enough for the second middle school, but her family has enough money." ”

With enough money, Lu An was immediately convinced, don't treat a butcher as a dog butcher these days, people are not bad for money.

After dinner, seeing that the eldest sister had not returned, the brother and sister flashed a flashlight and rushed to the eldest aunt's house.

Song Jia was obviously still immersed in the joy of the 1,000 yuan, and she walked a little fluttery.

Seeing that she still had short hair, Lu An said, "Sister, keep long hair, brother likes to see you have long hair." ”

"Huh?"

Song Jia was still in the fantasy, and when she heard the words, she sighed, and then said, "Oh, okay." ”

My aunt's house is not in the upper village, but it is not far away, and it takes less than 20 minutes to walk.

Passing by the path, Lu'an smelled a choking smell of soot from afar, and the brick kiln was red and bright, which was very eye-catching in the dark night.

"Brother Liu Yang, drink a cup of hot water to warm up."

Before he could get closer, Lu An heard the voice of his eldest sister Lu Yan. At this time, the latter was holding an enamel cup of water and handing it to the young master who burned the bricks.

Big Brother Liu Yang? Liu Yang?

Lu An was stunned for a moment, panicked and turned off the flashlight, and then sneaked over to take a look. Sure enough, it was that Liu Yang, his brother-in-law in his previous life.

In his previous life, he didn't do much, and he was eating books whenever he had time when he went home, and I really don't know how the eldest sister and Liu Yang got on?

What is the relationship like?
