Goose feathers of snow fall down.

The cold wind blew, and the nose and face were swollen from the cold.

New Year's Day.

Early in the morning, Jiang Xindong arrived at the entrance of the village and waited for Jiang Ping'an and them to arrive.

After a while, many Jiang family relatives came over to join in the fun, and Jiang Xindong was no longer bored.

I thought it would take a long time.

I never thought that just after eight o'clock, a car would come and a minibus would follow.

"That's a new car that Ping An bought?" Someone asked Jiang Xindong.

Jiang Xindong shook his head and smiled, and said, "It's also new, it's been old for a long time." ”

As he spoke, everyone stepped forward to greet him.

After the car was parked, Jiang Ping'an got down from the passenger seat and stepped forward with a smile:

"Xindong, it's a cold day, it's not that I don't know the way, so I don't have to come to pick us up."

Jiang Xindong tilted his head and looked, it turned out to be the car driven by Jiang Shijie, and replied with a smile:

"I guess you'll have to bring a lot of luggage with you when you come back, so come and help."

Then Guo Yan and Miao Hexiang also got out of the car, and as for the children, they were all on the minibus.

Jiang Ping'an smiled, took out the cigarette from his pocket, gave it to everyone one by one, and shook hands to greet him.

This time I came back for the New Year, and I planned to leave after the Lantern Festival, and I did bring a lot of things.

There are all kinds of food and clothing, as well as gifts for people, large and small bags, dozens of bags.

It is good to have a lot of people, and you don't have to toss back and forth several times.

After a long period of busyness, picking, lifting, lifting, lifting, everyone carried things to the village, Jiang Xindong asked:

"Do you want to go straight to my house, or do you want to go back to your yard first?"

"Go back to your house and settle down, and you all come over for dinner at noon." Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.

asked again: "Uncle Dahai is okay?" I'll see him later. ”

"It's a lot better than some time ago, but I still cough a lot." Jiang Xindong sighed lightly.

Jiang Ping'an nodded silently and said, "I brought some cough medicine back, it should be able to be used." ”

"I hope it helps, since he caught a cold, he hasn't missed medicine." Jiang Xindong said with some concern.

This kind of old people are afraid of getting sick, and once they get sick, their bodies collapse, and it is difficult to recover.

It's good to be blessed, to live a few more years.

If there is no blessing, the transaction will be more than a few years, or at least a few months or days, and it may be gone one day.

There is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, Jiang Xindong still hopes that his parents will live a few more years.

Talking all the way, against the wind and snow, he came to Jiang Ping'an's house.

During the summer vacation of the previous year, Jiang Ping'an's family came to stay for a while, and they were no strangers.

When they arrived in the courtyard, Guo Yan took the children to put things away, and Miao Hexiang went to the kitchen to boil water.

The villagers who helped wring things knew that Jiang Ping'an had just come back and were going to be busy for a while, so they all said goodbye and left.

Jiang Ping'an took gifts and cough medicine, and first went to Jiang Xindong's house to visit Jiang Dahai.

"It's a lively village!" Hearing the sound of firecrackers from time to time, Jiang Ping'an smiled.

Jiang Xindong nodded and said with a smile: "Isn't it?" People who are studying or working outside come back for the New Year, and of course it is lively. ”

"It's still early, many people have just gotten up, and after a while, there must be a lot of people visiting your house."

Over the years, many children have asked Jiang Ping'an to help when they go to school or work.

Especially in the year when the college entrance examination resumed, many people were able to be admitted to universities because Jiang Ping'an provided study materials.

Jiang Ping'an shook his head and said, "Yes, I came back to hide cleanly, I hope they don't come." ”

"It's not up to you." Jiang Xindong said with a straight smile.

When he arrived at Jiang Xindong's house, Jiang Xindong took the gift away, and Jiang Ping'an took the medicine and found Jiang Dahai in the hall.

I haven't seen him for a few months, Jiang Dahai has lost a lot of weight and aged a lot.

He leaned back in a chair covered with cotton cushions, squinting at the fire.

"Uncle Dahai, why do you look like this?" Jiang Ping'an stepped forward and sighed again and again, people still have to serve the old.

"I've brought you some medicine, you can take a course of medicine to try, if it helps, I'll buy it for you."

Jiang Dahai heard the voice, came to his senses, and said with a smile: "You kid is back?" ”

"For the New Year, why did you give me medicine? I'm afraid I won't die, right? ”

Jiang Ping'an walked up to him, took a bench and sat down, stuffed a packet of medicine into his hand, and said with a smile:

"Our grandfather is not taboo about this, you should take medicine when you are sick."

"Okay! Knowing that you kid is for my good, then I'm welcome. Jiang Dahai replied with a smile.

Then he asked, "Are the children back?" ”

"Come back, the swallow is taking them to decorate the house! I'll see you in a moment. Jiang Ping'an said.

Jiang Dahai nodded and smiled: "It's good to be back, there are many people, stay for dinner at noon?" ”

"Don't, I just told Xindong that your family will go to my place at noon." Jiang Ping'an hurriedly said.

Jiang Dahai nodded and said, "Okay, where are you going to eat?" It's okay now, there is no shortage of food for the New Year! ”

"Isn't it? So you can live a few more years and enjoy the blessings. Jiang Ping'an said with a smile.

At this time, Jiang Xindong came over with his family, Xindong's mother, Xindong's daughter-in-law and Xindong's children......

Because the relationship between the two families is not ordinary, and it is the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Ping'an gave each of the children a red envelope.

After a long period of greetings, Jiang Ping'an said goodbye and left, and reminded Jiang Xindong to remember to go to his house early to play.

After returning home, Jiang Ping'an pulled another gift and took Jiang Shijie out with him to visit the clansmen and give gifts.

Most of the things sent were mainly sugar and wine, and there was no money because it was difficult to give them a gift in return.

Before returning to the city, the villagers returned the gifts, most of which were mainly local specialties, bacon, sausages, mushrooms and so on.

It's not about making money at a loss, it's mainly a meaning, the New Year, walking around each other, there is human affection.

When Jiang Ping'an and Jiang Shijie returned from outside, they received a lot of gifts at home.

Guo Yan explained with a smile: "They said that you helped them get into college and participate in the job, and they should thank you!" ”

"What about people? Something sent away and left? You didn't leave them for dinner? Jiang Ping'an asked.

Guo Yan replied: "Why didn't you stay, but they were all polite, saying that there were guests at home who couldn't leave, and each had its own reason." ”

"You know all of them, right?" Jiang Ping'an asked again.

Guo Yan said: "I basically know everything, and if I don't know it, I also asked for the name and wrote it in the notebook!" You have time to take a look. ”

"Got everything in the house?" Jiang Ping'an took the notebook and looked at it a few times, and wrote down the name of the person who gave the gift.

Guo Yan nodded and smiled: "It's roughly organized, cook first in the morning, and then slowly clean up in the afternoon when you are in a hurry." ”

After a few more words, he went to the kitchen to cook.

Jiang Ping'an and Jiang Shijie were not idle, they came back with a TV this time, and they had to pull the antenna on earlier.

Of course, it was mainly Jiang Shijie who was busy with his younger siblings, and Jiang Ping'an was in charge of commanding.

"The snowflakes are still quite heavy, you can adjust them a little more."

The TV was placed in the bedroom on the first floor, and Jiang Ping'an shouted in the room.

In these years, the TV signal is very weak, as long as the antenna direction is slightly crooked, the picture is very blurry.

If it's windy or snowy, and the antenna outside is shaky, the picture is even worse.
