The cold wind carried the flying snowflakes close to the tall Chang Chunsheng into the low grass house, and Mo Lan, who was sitting in front of the stove pit and boiling pig food, snorted coldly, broke a thumb-thick branch and threw it into the stove pit, and asked in a low voice in Northeast dialect with a strange accent: "What's the matter?" Is it buried? ”

"If it's buried, why can't you leave a dead person at home for the New Year. After a while, you go to take a look at the sister-in-law of Wu, and you can help whatever you can if you live in a village. ”

Chang Chunsheng took off his cotton hat and cotton hands, first pursed the frost on his beard, and then glanced at the quiet inner room, the door was closed tightly, and he didn't look at anything, "Has Xiao Jiu's fever subsided?" It's been a day, and if I don't return the ox cart and take her to the health center for injections, don't burn out. ”

"Withdrew, I wiped her twice and covered her for most of the day before she withdrew. But I haven't woken up, and I'm really scared enough to talk about my dreams. ”

Chang Chunsheng squatted beside Mo Lan, took out his cigarette pouch, and said in a muffled voice while skillfully rolling a cigarette: "Who is not afraid to see a dead man who is frozen and hard to slip away in the snow shell?" Xiao Jiu is only seven years old, and he is timid, and he has to have ten days and a half to recover his strength. The Lin family's side..."

"When the Lin family came to give New Year's gifts the first few days, you went into the mountains to pull firewood, I didn't know, Wen Xi took Xiao Jiu and them to the big riverside to skate on the ice skating car and was not at home, and the people of the Lin family didn't ask a word, as if I had to ask them to take Xiao Jiu back. What about the biological one? If you don't keep it by your side, you don't know the pain! ”

The more he talked, the more angry he became, and Mo Lan threw the firewood that was about to be added to the stove pit on the ground and made a big noise.

Chang Chunsheng sighed helplessly, and patted her hand as if comfortingly, "The Lin family has an iron rice bowl in a nest, and it is no trick to let Xiao Jiu go to us to raise him, and after a few years, the limelight will not be so tight, just take Xiao Jiu back and get along more, why is it also my father and mother." ”

Mo Lan picked up the firewood again and put it into the stove pit, and said in a sullen voice: "She was raised in front of me since she was born, and my milk is not hungry enough, and Wen Ping is not hungry for her." To put it bluntly, I'd rather the Lin family not take her back, and we will give her a lot of good food and drink. ”

"You said you, the suspect's Lin family didn't mention Xiao Jiu and didn't want the Lin family to pick up Xiao Jiu, what do you want?" Chang Chunsheng took a deep breath of cigarette, sighed in the thick smoke: "Let's just talk about it in private, don't say it in front of the child, Xiao Jiu is our child in our house for a day, don't let the child feel uncomfortable." ”

The two turned to talk about trivial matters at home, and Xiao Jiu also pulled his thoughts back and sorted out the messy memories.

She went out to play and found that Wu Jianghe froze to death in the snow shell, and she was scared of illness and fever, which happened before the Spring Festival in 1990, when she was seven years old.

At this time, she has not yet registered and has no big name, because she was born in September, she has always been called Xiao Jiu.

Her father, Lin Zhiqiang, works at the Electricity Bureau, and her mother, Cui Limei, is a middle school teacher, and she is their first child, but she is not the boy they want.

In order to give birth to a son without losing her job, they ruthlessly sent her to the home of her father's comrades-in-arms in the countryside, announcing that she had died young, and gave birth to a son two years later.

She stayed in Chang's house for 14 years before being picked up when she was in junior high school.

At that time, she was vain and naïve, thinking that she could live a life of being spoiled by everyone when she returned to her parents and parents, and she didn't want to...

She is the Lin family surnamed Chang on the Chang family's side, and the Chang family is the Chang family picked up by the Lin family in the Lin family.

Gloomy and withdrawn, he finished college, worked and got married according to his parents' arrangement, but he married an inhuman mess for ten years, and finally committed suicide by burning charcoal the day before the legendary 2012 apocalypse.

The past is like a dream, and the big dream wakes up with joy and sorrow.

God was kind to her, and even gave her a chance to start over.

If she can't have both after all, then she would rather stay in the Chang family, stay with her adoptive parents, and be the little Jiu who is loved by her parents and brothers.

As soon as he made up his mind, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open, and the four boys rushed in despite the obstruction of Chang Chunsheng and Mo Lan.

"Xiao Jiu, you're awake. It just so happened that the second aunt steamed Lao Duo bean buns, and I took two for you and ate them while they were hot. The second brother Chang Wenle jumped on the kang like a monkey, and took out two hot bean bags from his arms and handed them to her.

The temperature outside is more than 30 degrees below zero, and the bean buns can still be hot when they run back from the second uncle and aunt's house, so they have to be in their arms just out of the pot.

She sat up and reached out to take the hot bean bag, as if her heart was also warm.

"Nine, why don't you speak? Stupid like a big madman in our village? The third brother is also the same age as her, only two days older than her, and Chang Wenping, who said to the outside world that they were twins, poked her head and asked worriedly.

The seven-year-old boy didn't have a heavy hand, and the poke was a bit heavy, and she was almost poked in the back.

The eldest brother Chang Wenxi reacted quickly and supported her, slapped Chang Wenping hard, and warned: "The nail cover is so long, don't pestle Xiaojiu's face, and then the pestle will be broken." ”

Chang Wenping pursed his mouth aggrievedly and wanted to cry, but with a "wow" cry, Chang Wenjian, who was only four and a half years old next to him, cried first.

The culprit, Chang Wenle, took the bean bag that he had just snatched back from Chang Wenjian's hand and said angrily: "If you are gluttonous, you will be beaten up, and you can die if you eat one bite less?" This is for Xiao Jiu! ”

It turned out that when they were frolicking and talking just now, Chang Wenjian secretly picked up the bean bag and took a bite, it was not a big deal, but this bean bag was given to her, which was a big deal in the eyes of her brothers.

Chang Wenping immediately forgot her grievances and wanted to reach out to poke her greedy little brother, she hurriedly grabbed Chang Wenping's hand and opened her mouth to play a round: "It's okay, it's okay, I can't eat two anyway, just I'll eat one for him to eat." ”

Chang Wenxi touched her head and stuffed another bean bag into her hand: "Xiao Jiu is the most well-behaved, you eat quickly, Wenjian of the province will grab it from you after eating." ”

Chang Wenjian will not.

He didn't dare.

Snatching her things will be beaten by her brothers, and beating her a few times will make a long memory.

Surrounded by her brothers and brothers, she took a bite of the bean bun, and the soft dough was wrapped in sweet and greasy bean paste, which was the most missed taste in her memory, so delicious that she cried.

Mo Lan watched everything at the door, and waited for the children to stop before he smiled and said, "Originally, our family was going to steam bean buns or something a few days ago, and I was a little embarrassed and delayed." I'll take the bean paste in and steam it for you tomorrow, and you can eat as many as you want. ”

The brothers were very happy, and Chang Wenle also took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the shed to get bean paste, but she couldn't be happy.

She knew why Moran was upset, and she knew what would happen if she didn't do anything.

Outsiders think that Chang Chunsheng is the pillar of this family, but in fact it is not, it is Mo Lan who really supports this family, and she is the backbone of this family.

So, Moran can't be fine, must not!
