The most lively time of the year in Xiaoxia Village is, of course, the Spring Festival, and only the adults who have been busy with their livelihoods on this day will take a break, get together to drink some wine, and talk about some idle things. The little ones get together to have snowball fights and build snowmen, making up for the time they usually miss by studying.

Some older boys will confess to their favorite girls in this short leisure time, and then spend this lively and warm day in pairs.

Adults do not restrict children's freedom, and it is common for children in Xiaoxia Village to marry in their teens.

Xiaoxia Village is actually a small island surrounded by the sea on all sides, and although this village is not as prosperous as the city, it also has its own unique loneliness and tranquility.

When the Spring Festival came, the villagers who were engaged in business outside the island also returned to their roots, bringing back a lot of wine and meat, temporary new clothes, tassels and other exquisite silk fabrics.

They will share their happiness and show the results of their busy work this year.

The small village that was originally simple and simple like a Cinderella has become a safflower girl who is waiting to get married at any time under the bright and beautiful dress, and she has a beautiful demeanor.

There are only a few families in the entire Xiaoxia Village who have not added new clothes as usual, and they look so lonely, cold and lonely in the midst of the flowers.

Su Wu's three family is one of them, although the life of the family of three after the reunion has been a little lively, but the clothing, food, housing and transportation have not changed in the slightest, and it is still extremely cold.

The idlers in the village also consciously or unintentionally regarded Su Youtian, who returned to the village with white hands, as a topic after tea and dinner.

"A person who reads is a brain, and when he goes out, he is a straw bale, so it is better to be more pragmatic and do more work in the fields. ”

"Looking at his naïve appearance, you know that he doesn't mix well outside, and he probably can't afford to eat outside. I can't fill my stomach, so I'll come back. ”

"I really don't know what the daughter of the Wu family likes about this nest, I don't want so many diligent men, but I married this unprofessional thing, I'm afraid I'm blind. ”

......

Xiaoxia Village is a village where there has been no story for many years, and anything that can be talked about can be talked about for ten days and a half months.

Recently, the refreshments after tea and dinner of the village names are about Su Youtian going home again after nothing.

In the past few years since Su Youtian left, there have been middle-aged men who are physically strong and have good family conditions who want to taste the unique charm of Wu Dongmei, a half-old, and repeatedly propose to Su Wu's mother and son what to continue and remarry.

But in the end, all the middle-aged men got was a stinking meal from Wu Xuemei, and then they fled one by one with their tails between their legs, not daring to harass them any more.

Since then, the once famous lady in the village has left a great name for the tigress in the village.

This mother, who raised her children alone, scolded the dead in a louder voice than all the men in the village, and was never afraid of those men who had bad intentions and did not follow the rules.

This woman who is not particularly strong often carries a wooden stick as thick as a beam on her back to drive them around, and slowly cultivates a body of martial arts, in this family, she not only wants to be a mother, but also a father, only in this way, can better protect her son from insults and bullying by others.

Only Su Wu knows how difficult it has been for his mother over the years. She had been looking forward to the boy who was covered in books to come home and see, and she never gave up waiting.

"Your mother will wait for him for the rest of his life, if this heartless thing had become a big official, he would have forgotten about our mother and son a long time ago. ”

Mother often sighed in Su Wu's ear about that man, she was very stubborn, but the tenderness in her eyes could not be concealed at all.

Now that the scholar is really back, she can't save face again, she always talks about men's problems one by one, but she still can't hide the tenderness in her words.

Su Wu was happy when he saw his mother happy, because after the scholar came back, there was no one to say that he was a child without a father.

......

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiaoxia Village received another heavy snowfall, which came very suddenly, and it came quietly when the villagers were still immersed in the joy of reunion.

The oldest elders in the village say it is the heaviest snow they have seen since they were born, and many of the houses have large and small pots in front of their courtyards, ready to be used to collect the first pots of snow of the new year.

The heavier the snow falls this year, the fatter the crops in the fields will definitely be tomorrow, which is enough to make the village name, who lives entirely on the rice in the fields, happy for a while.

The goose-feathered snow is getting heavier and denser, and it brings not only a good harvest, but also a biting cold.

In this lively night, when there should have been many children playing and chasing, it seemed even more deserted than usual, and the whole world seemed to be only a vast snow-white.

The joyful atmosphere that the village names had managed to create was soon washed away by the sudden snowfall, and the whole village seemed very lonely and deserted.

In the icy and snowy silver snow, there was only one tall and one short, two lonely figures. These two figures run happily in the snow under the double light of the moonlight and the snowlight, intimacy, like a pair of best friends who have been reunited for a long time.

After a long fight, the two rested for a while, and then built a snowman together.

The two worked very closely together, with the taller man "building" the snowman's body and head, and the shorter child pinching the snowman's nose, eyes, ears, and taking off the bowler hat on top of his head.

After building the snowman, the two of them, one elder and one younger, laughed out loud and brainless, as if they wanted to throw all their troubles out of the clouds.

Su Wu hadn't been so happy for too long, and he couldn't stop laughing when he thought that he would have his father to play with him every day in the future.

Su Youtian patted his son on the shoulder and shouted loudly at the somewhat hazy moonlight: "Good son, tomorrow we will go to the city, the winter there is very warm, and it never makes people feel cold." In the future, we will eat delicious food, have fun, and live a good life. ”

Listening to his father's words, Su Wu couldn't laugh anymore, and his little face, which was as white as snow, suddenly became extremely serious.

"Father, I want to stay here, I know life in the city must be good, but I can't forget this place. ”

Su Wu used to look forward to the outside world day and night, but when this moment was about to come, he only found that his heart seemed to be empty of the most precious thing, and it was not until this moment that he remembered what he was going to lose.

......

It was a girl, a girl who loved to laugh, although Su Wu didn't like to laugh, but he liked to see others laugh.

Sometimes when I see others laughing, I am happy and happy, and my mood will be cheerful.

The girl who loves to laugh seems to live in the sunshine forever, and she gets along well with all the children, like a sunflower that grows towards the sun.

Su Wu often liked to squat in a corner where the children would not notice and secretly look at her, and although he carefully concealed his gaze very skillfully each time, he still could not hide from the eyes of the girl who loved to laugh, and the eyes of the girl who loved to laugh seemed to be able to see everything he was thinking.

Finally, on that snowy night last year, the girl took the initiative to play with him, and the girl called out his name as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Su Wu, can we build a snowman together, the kind of snowman that is tall. The girl's voice seemed to be mixed with the warmth of a spring breeze, and it suddenly blew into Su Wu's heart.

"But, you...... Why don't you play with them?" Su Wu, who had been precocious since he was a child, instantly became a bright blush on his face, and his speech began to be staggered, he didn't dare to look directly into the girl's eyes, his hands were clenched tightly, and beads of sweat appeared in his palms.

The girl stopped laughing, her eyes suddenly looked at the snow-covered sky, and said, "Actually, I am not as happy as my friends seem, and everyone will have troubles." ”

"My father, my mother, I quarreled again, the family was too noisy, I had to run out alone, I didn't expect to be able to see Su Wu here. ”

The girl laughed again for some reason as she spoke, and then suddenly threw herself into the arms of Su Wu, who was still astringent on her face, and cried loudly.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and this sunflower-like girl on weekdays also has her own heart-wrenching sadness.
