The bitter north wind whined and roared, whipping up snowflakes in the wilderness.

As if holding a sharp sword, he slashed one after another in his face, cold and piercing.

Guo Yan used the scarf as a headscarf to shield her from the wind and snow, and her little face was still cold and her nose was blue and swollen.

"Swallow, wait a minute, I'll put the hat on you."

Jiang Ping'an hurriedly stopped the car and put it away, took off the dogskin hat he was wearing, and put it on Guo Yan's head.

And spread out the two hat ears to wrap around her little face.

"I don't want it, you leave me alone." Guo Yan stared at the big eyes and said, about to take off the hat.

Jiang Ping'an hurriedly stopped, pressed her hand, and said with a smile:

"I'm coarse and rough-skinned, I'm not afraid of the wind, but now I'm wearing a hat to get warmer, isn't it?"

"It's so warm, I knew I also took a dogskin hat to wear, but now it's going to hurt you." Guo Yan pursed her lips and said.

Jiang Ping'an nodded and said, "Just wear it when it's warm." ”

"I'm a man, if I don't feel sorry for you, who cares for you?"

Guo Yan smiled, her heart was extremely sweet, and she smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't marry you for nothing!" ”

The two faced the wind and snow and continued on their way.

At the fork in the road, Guo Yan pointed to the road to Dongjiazhuang Commune and said:

"It seems that the distance to your hometown is about the same distance as the distance to my mother's house!"

"It's about the same, it's forty or fifty minutes to get there by bicycle from the city." Jiang Ping'an replied.

Guo Yan nodded and smiled, and said, "The day before yesterday, Aunt Feng came to the house and discussed with me privately. ”

"She advised me not to go back to the textile factory in the future, and I have been working on the streets, what do you think?"

Jiang Ping'an groaned: "I'm afraid Lao Zhao won't let him go." ”

Not to mention that Guo Yan himself is outstanding, just to win over Jiang Ping'an, Zhao Dabao will not let people go easily.

Don't look at Jiang Ping'an, who has only been working for a few months, but he can get the materials, which is a proper fragrant bun.

Director Feng knew to win him over, Deputy Factory Director Li knew to win him over, and Zhao Dabao would naturally be no exception.

"Aunt Feng said that if I agree, she will go to negotiate with Lao Zhao." Guo Yan said with a smile.

Jiang Ping'an smiled and asked, "Listening to your tone, do you want to stay on the street and work?" ”

"Do you think the streets are bad?" Guo Yan asked rhetorically.

Jiang Ping'an groaned: "It's not bad, I think it's easier to work in a factory." ”

It's good on the other side of the street, but there are too many trivial things, complicated interpersonal relationships, and many bad things.

Although most of the workers in the textile mill have been diverted due to the reduction in production, there is always a time to resume work.

As the largest textile enterprise in China, it will definitely not be put there all the time, at most it will resume work in the second half of next year.

Guo Yan is an announcer, her work is easy, there is no other pressure, and she has more energy to take care of her family.

The future is changing, Jiang Ping'an hopes that Guo Yan can be stable.

"Okay, you don't want me to stay there all the time, I'll answer Aunt Feng's words truthfully." Guo Yan nodded lightly and said.

……

Snowflakes are sprinkled and fluttering all over the sky, and the sky and the earth are hazy.

"It's coming!" At the intersection, Guo Yan's mother saw two familiar figures from a distance, and said happily to Guo Lin.

Guo Lin smiled and said: "It's snowing so hard today, it's not easy to arrive so early." ”

"Mom, if you don't go home first, I'll meet my sister and brother-in-law here."

Guo Yan's mother said angrily: "I've been waiting for so long, do you still need to be in a hurry for a while?" ”

Behind the two of them, there are seven or eight relatives of the Guo family in the same village.

After the relatives who had been to Jiang Ping'an's house a few days ago came back, they blew Jiang Ping'an's family into the sky.

What three main rooms, spacious and bright.

Bicycles, radios, watches, and sewing machines are all expensive things that people dare not hope for.

What kind of wedding banquet is sumptuous, chicken, duck and fish, full of feasts, white-flour steamed buns are enough, just listen to the panic of one ear.

What makes people even more envious is that Guo Yan also bought a set of clothes for her mother, brother and sister-in-law, and nephew and nephew.

You must know that this year is the time for another three years of sewing and mending.

It was great to buy one set of clothes, and I also bought five sets of clothes in one go.

The dignified and heroic atmosphere is enviable, and no one does not praise Jiang Ping'an and Guo Yanxiao for their filial piety.

In just one or two days, the reputation of the two of them was known to most of the people in Nantai Commune, and it spread quickly.

Especially if there is a daughter to marry in the family, who doesn't want their daughter to marry such a good family?

After a while, Jiang Ping'an and Guo Yan arrived.

Guo Lin hurriedly stepped forward, took Guo Yan's bicycle, and said with a smile:

"Yanzi, you and Mom go ahead."

Guo Yan nodded with a smile, stepped forward and pulled her mother and muttered:

"Mom, what are you waiting here on this snowy day, it's not like we don't know the way home."

Guo Yan's mother smiled and said, "I look forward to your coming back soon, and I feel relieved when I see you arrive." ”

The two walked in front, and someone behind them took Jiang Ping'an's bicycle to help push it.

Jiang Ping'an freed his hand, quickly took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and scattered a circle of cigarettes while greeting him.

Some of these seven aunts and eight uncles have been to his house in the city, and some have never been there.

Jiang Ping'an, who has been there, knows how to call the other party, how Guo Yan shouted, he followed how to shout.

Guo Lin, who didn't go, introduced it on the side, and Jiang Ping'an also kept it in mind.

To be honest, there are too many relatives, and ordinary people don't see them a few times, so it's really easy to get dizzy.

I can't remember, confusion is common.

Fortunately, Jiang Ping'an has this talent, and the people he has seen will still know him in a few years.

A group of people braved the wind and snow, smiling and hugging Jiang Ping'an and them to Guo Yan's house.

There are more relatives in the family, more than when Jiang Ping'an came over last time.

Last time, I came by the way, without prior notice, but now I know that Guo Yan will come back, and everyone who can come has come.

In the air, the fresh aroma of chicken is exuding, which makes people salivate.

Today, Jiang Ping'an and they returned to the door, and Guo Yan's sister-in-law stewed a chicken for hospitality.

But it's just a family dinner, and there will be no treats.

Only the two uncles will stay for dinner, and the other relatives will leave later.

There was another lively greeting.

After Guo Lin introduced the relatives in the courtyard to Jiang Ping'an again, everyone went to the hall to sit down and drink tea and chat.

As for Guo Yan, she was dragged to the kitchen by her mother to talk.

Kitchen.

"We came back with a hundred and ten pounds of two noodles." Guo Yan told her mother.

"Mom, you keep twenty pounds, and the other relatives have five pounds each."

Guo Yan's mother took her hand, smiled, nodded and said:

"Okay, okay, when they leave, I'll tell them and let them bring things and pack them."

"Things won't be for you, I told you last time, and there are a lot of chickens and ducks for you."

"Also, Yanzi, since you are married, you will conceive a child earlier, and I will go to the city to take care of you then."

Jiang Ping'an has no relatives, and after Guo Yan gave birth to a child, especially during the confinement, only her mother went to the city to take care of it.

Speaking of giving birth, Guo Yan was full of shyness, nodded lightly, and said:

"Ping An plans to go to the northwest to find relatives next year, and it would be nice if I could find a few relatives."

Guo Yan's mother shook her head and said: "I can't count on it, the northwest is too far away, and everyone has their own things to do." ”

"Even if Ping An can find his relatives, don't expect them to come to the capital to take care of you."
