Time flies.

Another three months passed in the blink of an eye.

In autumn and early winter, the temperature drops, people have changed into winter clothes, and the air becomes extraordinarily dry.

In the former West County of northern Shaanxi, on the road leading to Shuangshui Village, Shibijie Township.

A jeep sped forward, rolling up layers of yellow sand.

On the winding loess road, two deep and clear rut marks stretch out, looking rather desolate.

Looking out of the car window, you can see the undulating loess slopes.

A vast open area with only scattered trees.

The Loess Plateau is vast and immense, full of loess, thousands of ravines.

The sky was overcast with scattered snowflakes.

The cold wind is howling, the sand is flying, the dust covers the sun, and the world is bleak.

"It's snowing." Jiang Ping'an muttered softly.

Tian Fujun beside him asked casually: "Has it snowed in the capital this year?" ”

"It wasn't snowing when I left." Jiang Ping'an retracted his gaze and replied with a smile.

When he arrived here, he learned that Tian Fujun was also one of the people who helped him find his relatives.

Tian Fujun is an old comrade-in-arms of the money factory, the deputy director of the Huangyuan Special Administration Office, and has a wide network here.

Tian Fujun has a son and a daughter, his son is called Tian Xiaochen, who is nine years old, and his daughter is called Tian Xiaoxia, who is five years old this year.

In addition, he also has a ten-year-old niece named Tian Runye.

Knowing this information, everything is right.

Once in a hundred years, once in a hundred years, once in a thousand years, once in a thousand years, once in a thousand years, once in a thousand years, these people are still young.

Nothing to say all the way.

When I arrived in the town of Shibijie commune, I saw a group of students working on both sides of the street and cleaning ditches in the wind and snow.

"Xiao Zhang, pull over." Tian Fujun suddenly said to the driver.

The jeep pulled over, Tian Fujun got out of the car, and walked towards the group of students.

Jiang Ping'an was curious and got out of the car.

As far as the eye could see, the commune touched the dilapidated streets about 50 meters long.

The only decent building is the sales department of the supply and marketing cooperative.

On the opposite side of the road, a small bridge spans the Dongla River, connecting the road to the town.

Although the town is not big, it is a big place in the eyes of the people of the surrounding dozen or so villages.

"Runye, are you in labor class?" Tian Fujun was talking to a girl from a distance.

Tian Runye was busy with a shovel and lowered his head, when he heard the voice, he glanced up, straightened up, and said with surprise:

"Second dad is back? It's just time that I'm done here, so I can take a ride back. ”

Tian Fujun smiled and said, "That's what I mean, so I'm here to call you." ”

Seeing Jiang Ping'an coming over, he introduced:

"This is Jiang Ping'an, the grandson of the third grandmother of the Sun family, who has come here to look for relatives."

"Count it out, he and you are the same generation, you can call him brother."

Shuangshui Village is dominated by the surnames Tian and Jin, while the surname Sun is a miscellaneous surname.

Jiang Ping'an heard Tian Fujun say that in the past, there were seven or eight families surnamed Sun in Shuangshui Village, and most of them went out to escape the famine during the war years.

Those who went out basically didn't come back, so now there are only a handful of people surnamed Sun in the village.

At the beginning, only Sun Yuhou and Sun Yuting did not leave, they were in the fourth room.

Jiang Ping'an's grandmother's house belonged to the third room, and after she fled from the desert and was separated from her family, she came back.

is now over 70 years old, so most of them call her the third grandmother of the Sun family.

"Third grandma? She still has relatives here! Tian Runye was very surprised, and hurriedly shouted Brother Ping'an.

When she was a child, she was pretty, lively and cheerful, with two obvious dimples on her cheeks when she smiled.

It's an amiable view.

"This is the daughter of my eldest brother's family, named Tian Runye." Tian Fujun introduced to Jiang Ping'an again.

"Hello Runye girl!" Jiang Ping'an greeted with a smile, took out a handful of fruit candy from his pocket and handed it over.

Tian Runye pursed his lips, he wanted to eat but was embarrassed to take it, and his moist and watery eyes couldn't help but look at Tian Fujun.

Tian Fujun smiled and said, "Give it to you, just continue!" ”

"Thank you, Brother Ping'an!" Tian Runye smiled happily and stretched out his hands to take the candy.

Many people in the commune knew Tian Fujun and were cadres.

In order to avoid trouble, the three of them did not delay and returned to the car to talk.

Jiang Ping'an and Tian Fujun sat in the back row, and Tian Runye went to the front to sit in the co-pilot.

"Your grandmother is still tough and can do her own laundry and cooking, but her ears are not very spiritual." Tian Fujun said.

"Don't worry about eating, she is in a special situation, she is supported by the collective, and she doesn't have to go to the field to earn work."

"Usually you need firewood, carry water, etc., and it's all the help of Sun Yuting's family."

Jiang Ping'an nodded silently and listened quietly to Tian Fujun's introduction to his grandmother's house.

In this way, he still has to call Sun Yuhou and Sun Yuting's cousin, and Sun Shaoan and Sun Shaoping are cousins.

Although he is not a brother-in-law, he is only separated by a room, but he is also very close.

In ancient times, aunts and uncles intermarried, and relatives added relatives.

A boy can marry an uncle's daughter, but an aunt's daughter cannot.

Therefore, in the Dream of Red Mansions, it is absolutely impossible for Lin Daiyu to marry Jia Baoyu, it belongs to the backflow of bone (aunt) blood.

The jeep was fast, and it didn't take much effort to arrive at Shuangshui Village.

The so-called "Shuangshui Village" refers to the Dongla River and the Wailing River.

Although they are all called "rivers", they are actually not big, especially the weeping river, which is as thin as hemp rope.

Shuangshui Village is divided into two major blocks: Tianjiaqilao and Jinjiawan.

As the name suggests, people with the surname Tian basically live in Tianjiaqilao, while people with the surname Jin basically live in Jinjiawan.

Except for one of the Jin family, the landlord and the two rich peasants.

Some of them are middle peasants, and most of them are still poor middle peasants.

Therefore, from the perspective of accommodation, the caves in the Jinjiawan area are obviously stronger than those in Tianjialao.

And most of the people who live in the Tian family are poor.

The surname Tian is the mainstay, plus a few miscellaneous surnames from other villages.

Most of the houses here are some collapsed walls and rotten yards.

It's just that Tian Runye's family is better, but it's not the light of Tian Fujun.

Instead, her father Tian Futang is a capable person, and now serves as the secretary of the Shuangshui Village branch.

The Sun family, as a poor person with a foreign surname, originally lived in Tianjiaqilao.

Three years ago, Sun Yuting, who was originally a worker in a steel mill, came back to marry his daughter-in-law.

So Sun Yuhou gave his younger brother a hole in the cave handed down by his ancestors.

He moved with his family to the village in the south and settled down again.

Exclusive single courtyard, not closely connected to other homes in the village.

As for Jiang Ping'an's grandmother's house, it is not far from Tian Runye's house, a distance of dozens of meters.

The car stopped at the door of Tian Futang's house, Jiang Ping'an came to look for relatives, and Gao Gao also wanted to meet him with this book.

"Is your dad at home?" After getting out of the car, Tian Fujun asked.

Tian Runye had sugar in his mouth, and said with a light smile: "I don't know if I have gone to the brigade, go into the house and take a look." ”

Then he slipped into the house and jumped into the house, shouting as he ran: "Dad, Mom, the second dad is back." ”

Runye Niang was in the house with the soles of her shoes, and when she heard the shout, she hurriedly got up and answered:

"Your dad is not here, I'm going to the brigade, let your second dad come into the house and sit."

"Then don't wait, I'll take you to your grandmother's house first." Tian Fujun said.

Jiang Ping'an nodded and said politely: "Trouble Uncle Tian!" ”

"Your own people, what's polite? Don't forget to take the time to go to my house and call me out. Tian Fujun said with a smile.
