Floating Clouds - (63)
The bus in the countryside shook a little loudly, and the little potato looked at everything around him with wide eyes and a little blank.
Qi Xiaoyu got out of the car with him, Jiang Zhidong followed behind her with a big bag and a small bag, and the sister-in-law and sister-in-law also had a big bag and a small bag.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier,???? This winter was very cold, and the snow was more than two feet thick.
Qi Xiaoyu raised his head, and the large dark clouds in the sky were stacked on top of each other like the tiles of his hometown houses.
The snow continued to fall, some floating on the ground, some pouring into her neck, slightly cool, like the heavy snow a year ago.
In the distance, the mountains and the ground are covered with a thick white quilt, and the heavens and the earth seem to be connected together, and the white expanse looks beautiful.
???????????? The white snow is like small silver beads, like small raindrops, like catkins and poplars, and the snow curtains are raised one after another.
Jiang Zhidong looked up through the sparse snow curtain, and the small courtyard of the rural farmhouse in the distance was faint, as if in the fog, as if in the clouds, which seemed a little kind.
A light smile appeared on his lips, it seemed to be far, far away from him, but it seemed to be very close to himself.
Speaking of which, this is his second home.
It's not the same feeling as when I left.
He didn't think he would come back.
No idea, so I'll be back.
He took a breath, a different mood and a different mood than the first time he came here.
In the distance, half of the city smokers.
The jagged roof tiles have been blurred, and there is still a lot of winter snow.
In the mountains near and far, the wind swept the snowflakes, sweeping the mountains and villages.
The ancient trees at the entrance of the village were dried, and bursts of snowflakes fell and fell to the ground.
The wind and snowflakes smashed open the doors and windows of people's houses, tearing off a lot of thatch from the broken houses and throwing them into the air.
The cold snowflakes drifted into people's houses.
Snow and frost roared and roared strangely in the bare treetops.
It seems that everything is a slave of the snowflakes tame, and it can ravage them and destroy them at will.
The Qi family is building a bunch of hot charcoal fires at home, roasting the house and the hall hot, waiting for the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to come back.
There are a few plum blossoms next to the house with the faint plum fragrance of this snowflake, and the country road and the small courtyard of the farmhouse are scattered.
It was very cold, and as soon as people arrived at the door, Qi Xiaoyu's mother Lin Ya called Qi's father, Qi's father lit it in the yard with a big cannonball, and the sound of popping sounded, and the nephews and nieces ran forward and entered the house lively.
The Qi family's yard is large, the door is wide, the house is not badly repaired, all of them are built with bricks and tiles, Lin Ya has already boiled hot water, and called his daughter-in-law, daughter and son-in-law to wash their hands and faces.
She hugged her little grandson, took a clean handkerchief and kneaded it dry in warm water, and then wiped his face and hands, and Qi's father stood at the door, looking at his daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Zhidong, how long did it take for you to come back?" he said, lighting himself a dry cigarette by the way.
Take a puff and spit out at the door, the white smoke quickly dissipated, and Jiang Zhidong's voice came.
"Two days overnight, two days ago in the evening after dinner and departure. Jiang Zhidong told the truth.
"Well, that's pretty much it. Father Qi nodded, took a puff of dry tobacco, and spit out white smoke outside the door.
Jiang Zhidong nodded, Qi Xiaoyu and the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law had already washed their cheeks and hands.
Qi Mu Lin Ya returned the child to Qi Xiaoyu, and then spoke.
"You all go and rest, I have cleaned the room, it is warm inside, go to sleep first, and I will call you up to eat later." ”
"Okay, Mom, I'm sorry for you. ”
"No trouble, no trouble, go to sleep. ”
The room of the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law is clean and tidy, so there is no need to say much.
Qi Xiaoyu had been in the room before the Qi family came out, and Lin Ya had already cleaned it.
In the courtyard, there are confetti bursting from firecrackers, and flowers are blooming on the snow.
The scaly tiles of the house have long been invisible, and a tree in front of the window of Qi Xiaoyu's room is full of plain flowers and jade strings, made of shining silver.
Looking from afar, it looks like a snow fairy with a beautiful face, in a variety of postures, and the pavilions are pretty.
Her room is not big, clean and tidy, there is a bed kang, an old cabinet, a dresser, and a carbon brazier in the corner, which is burning with a Want Want carbon fire, steaming.
Xiaoyu took off the child's shoes and coat, and put it in the quilt to warm up.
She went to bake the fire herself, her hands hot.
Outside the door, Jiang Zhidong was walking in.
The sky is getting darker, there are a lot of snowflakes, and the plum blossoms on the plum tree next door are as big as the plum blossoms, flying all over the sky, sandwiching the smoke on the kitchen of the Qi family, and startling this home.
The wide yard is paved with deep footprints of the family, which are mixed with some traces of dogs coming and going.
They stepped on the soft, white, shiny snow together.
The sister-in-law was stopped by her mother-in-law, and Lin Ya pulled her and said curiously, "Old man, how is your business in Shang'an City?"
Every time Xiaoyu sent a telegram back before, she said that business was good, and they were happy, but they were always a little untrue in their hearts.
As soon as the sister-in-law spoke, she already had a smile on her face, "Mom, don't worry, we have a good business in Shang'an City, and we are going to open a branch tomorrow." ”
"Instead, I bought another small train for the eldest and second brother to drive to Guangxiu to pull goods. ”
Lin Ya frowned, "Your business is really so good, is it so easy to do business?"
She wasn't quite convinced.
"Mom, don't you know, before opening the store, Xiaoyu and Zhidong had a group of customers, and they had been selling clothes at school for nearly a year! The sister-in-law spoke.
"What? Xiaoyu and Zhidong have been selling clothes on the floor for a year, aren't they going to school?" Lin Ya was surprised in his heart, and his face was puzzled.
"Mom, they usually go to school, go to a stall to sell clothes after school, and go to Guangxiu Province to pick up goods at the end of the month. ”
"You didn't delay your studies, did you?"
"This ...... Probably not. ”
The sister-in-law is not sure, but it seems that there is no delay in their study.
"By the way, I have one more incident to ask you about. ”
Lin Ya suddenly lowered her voice and glanced out of the kitchen door, afraid that her son-in-law would hear it.
"What's the matter? Mom. ”
"Did you see Xiaoyu's mother-in-law's house? How is her mother-in-law's house? Not satisfied with Xiaoyuman? Is it good for Xiaoyu? Did you show her face? When you went, were they Jiang family enthusiastic?What kind of character is Jiang's father and Jiang's mother?Jiang ......?"
Lin Ya said a lot, and asked all the doubts in his heart.
The air was cold, blowing in from the wide open kitchen door, stinging everyone's posture like a needle, Qi's father squatted at the door of the kitchen room and did not leave, continuing to smoke dry cigarettes, his ears stood up, as if eavesdropping.
He wears a hat that looks warm to keep out the cold from the snowflakes.
The sister-in-law wanted to speak and stopped, and she was not easy to answer this question.
Because she had never seen the Jiang family in Shang'an City, it was impossible to know what the character of Jiang's father and Jiang's mother was.
