In the past two days, the Xiao family has spent the past two days in depression and anxiety. The family also had fewer words, and they didn't dare to touch the matter of the third girl and Haizi entering the mountain. However, everyone can see that the three girls do not agree with Grandpa Xiao's arrangement very much.

Of course, Grandpa Xiao also noticed that the three girls seemed to be very reluctant in their hearts, so on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Grandpa Xiao called the three girls out alone and found a quiet place to persuade and enlighten alone.

After most of the morning, Grandpa Xiao came back with the three girls, and I don't know what they were talking about, but after they came back, they both seemed very happy, it seemed that the idea was agreed, and the whole family was happy.

This day is another happy day for the farmer to celebrate the New Year, and after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the year will pass. At dinner, Aunt Xiao poured some wine for the adults and respectfully said her thoughts.

"Dad, Mom, sister, brother-in-law, you all have to drink more. I thought about my affairs, so I listened to my father's arrangement and went into the mountains with Haizi to hide.

I think the beards are looking for me, and it has nothing to do with anyone. As long as they have hope of finding me, they won't be too much of my family.

Before I left, I asked Haizi to write a letter for me, and asked someone to bring it to the beards, saying that I had gone into the mountains, and that I would go to them when I had earned enough money in the autumn, and that I would stabilize them first.

When the time comes, if it doesn't work, I will die when I get to the mountains, and from then on I will interrupt their thoughts, and our family may be safe. ”

The family felt that what Aunt Xiao said was very reasonable, although things would not be as simple as she thought, and the beards were not so easy to fool, but after all, Aunt Xiao agreed to Grandpa Xiao's arrangement, and came up with a way, and saw hope, so the dead horse should be a live horse doctor.

The family is still very happy, so many days of depression has been broken, and the joyful atmosphere of the festival has returned to the Xiao family, although this happiness is only on the surface, but after all, there is hope, and the whole family has temporarily put aside their sorrows.

After dinner, Grandpa Xiao and Uncle Haizi prepared a few small oil lamps, saying that they were going to the ancestral cemetery to deliver lamps, which is also a necessary etiquette for the farmer's New Year, and every family is like this. Fortunately, the cemetery of each family is not too far from Tunzi, and it is still very convenient to send lights.

Grandma Xiao carefully filled each small oil lamp with oil, carefully adjusted the wick and fiddled with it. Grandpa Xiao and Uncle Xiao went before it was completely dark, and it was estimated that it would not be long before they would come back.

Aunt Xiao led the children to pick up a pot of pot ashes, sprinkled them with oil, and prepared to go to the yard to sprinkle the lights.

The large pillar also held a few sticks, also dipped in oil, and prepared to hold the lamp in his hand. Haizi can also go to the ground at this time, and of course he will also move with them, but his mood is still very low.

As soon as it got dark, Aunt Xiao lit the lanterns in the yard and on the gate, and found three small papier-mâché lanterns, lit them, and distributed them to the three children to play with.

Then Aunt Xiao found the firecrackers and fireworks left over during the Chinese New Year, and let the big pillars be set off in the yard.

At this time, all households also began to set off firecrackers and fireworks, and the whole tunzi boiled again, once again pushing the New Year's flavor of the farmers to a climax.

Snowflakes are floating in the sky, clouds cover the moon on the fifteenth day of August, and snow lights up on the fifteenth day of the first month.

Aunt Xiao led the children to sprinkle the oiled stove ashes from the front of the house to a long distance outside the gate, and then set them on fire.

A few children ran after him, stirring the small fire with sticks, hoping to make it burn longer.

Families also spread such small fires from their yards into the streets, and children ran, frolicking, and shouting loudly, and a joyful and peaceful atmosphere hung over the village.

After the house sprinkled the lamp, Dazhu took his sister and younger brother to carry the lantern and the lighted peatstick to the street to play, and the adults returned to the house one after another. Haizi was the last to enter the house, and the noise in the street made Beard fall into melancholy again.

After Grandpa Xiao and Uncle Xiao came back from delivering the lamp, they worked with Grandma Xiao and Aunt Xiao to prepare food and use for the three girls and Haizi to leave tomorrow, all wrapped in baggage and put them together. Grandpa Xiao saw that the time was not early, so he asked the third girl to call the children back and go to bed early.

After the big pillar who was not fully engaged led his younger brother and sister back, his face was blackened by the lamp.

While wiping his face, Tie Dan said ostentatiously: "I also made a face at them, and all the lamps and smoke I took were wiped out." ”

"Don't wipe it, the more you smear, the darker it gets. Let's all wash well, and go to bed when we're done. ”

After Aunt Xiao washed the children's faces, the family fell asleep.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, and every family has to light the lights overnight, and the whole village is in the hope of brightening the hall, blessing this year's days will be more bright.

Early the next morning, the Xiao family told them to bid farewell to the three girls and Haizi with tears, of course, the scene still looked very bleak, it was really difficult to predict what the outcome would be, so I could only pray silently in my heart!

"When you get there, you have to be obedient, something will happen, don't let your temperament come. You have to change your temperament, get along well with your Uncle Chen, ask him for help, and find a mother-in-law if you see a suitable one. ”

Grandma Xiao fumbled with the clothes of the third girl, and her voice was trembling, revealing the grievances of parting, fate, it can really harm people, although it is not a life and death parting, but it is similar, and no one can predict the future road.

"Sanxue, and Haizi, if there is nothing to do in winter, you can come back, it is too cold in the mountains in winter, and when we come back, we will have a family reunion to celebrate the New Year together."

The aunt put the burden prepared for the third girl and Haizi in the car, and kept telling in her mouth, but her tears had already flowed, although she didn't cry, but the tears she held back made people unable to control their sadness.

Da Zhuzi, Yingzi, and Tie Dan also ran forward: "Third aunt, when can you come back?" We miss you, we miss Brother Haizi, and we want to hear him tell us. Tie Dan had to let the third aunt hug her for a while, sobbing and using her little hands to help the third aunt wipe her tears.

Aunt Xiao's tears couldn't stop flowing, she told everyone some words one by one, and after instructing the adults and children, she said everything she could think of.

Especially when Aunt Xiao said goodbye to Grandma Xiao, the mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, not speaking but just crying.

Grandpa Xiao didn't speak on the side, but the tears had already flowed, and everyone who watched that scene was worried.

Haizi sat in the carriage driven by his uncle, watching all this with blank eyes, and his heart was even more twisted.

Looking at Grandpa Xiao's house, where he lived for nearly two months, thinking about how good Grandpa Xiao's family was to him, thinking about what happened in the past few months, he couldn't even reunite with his family during the New Year, and now he didn't know where he was going, his mood was very sour, and his eyes couldn't help but blur with tears.

The carriage slowly left the courtyard of the Xiao family, with the concern of Grandpa Xiao's family and the hazy wish of praying for peace, the third aunt and Haizi left the family together.

As soon as Uncle Haizi got out of the hospital, he beat his horse and ran quickly, of course he was also very sad, but he just held back his tears.
