Shen Youchu wrote a letter very early to tell her mother-in-law and Anning the ticket date, so at more than 8 p.m., Chen Hansheng and Shen Youchu just appeared on the mountain path, and a small figure ran over cheering.

"Elder sister, elder brother."

This is naturally little Anning. She shouted as she ran, making a "creak" sound on the snow, leaving rows of lovely footprints behind her.

"Slow down, don't fall."

The heavy snow should have just fallen. Shen Youchu was worried that Anning would slip, so he stepped forward and steadily caught his sister.

"Anning, grow up."

Shen Youchu picked up Anning and found that although her sister was still thin, she was a little taller.

She was happy, but she was not good at expressing, but she wanted to share it with Chen Hansheng.

"Really, let me hold it."

Chen Hansheng takes Anning from Shen Youchu's arms. He is worried that Shen Youchu has been traveling all day and is a little tired holding Anning.

"Brother!"

Anning shouted again. The child's voice was crisp and clear. In this sparsely populated place, there were no street lamps, only the moon spread far and far in the open mountains.

"Ang."

When Chen Hansheng held Anning, his hands suddenly loosened, and Anning's small body slipped down in an instant.

"Ah!"

Anning gave a cry of surprise, but just slipped a little, Chen Hansheng immediately took her up. Little Anning knew that elder brother was playing a prank.

She couldn't help laughing again. She put her small arm around Chen Hansheng's neck for fear that brother would leave herself again.

Mother-in-law stood at the end of the path, quietly waiting for Shen Youchu, as if it were more than two years ago.

Time seems to pass very slowly in the mountains.

"Mother-in-law."

Shen Youchu held her mother-in-law's arm.

Her mother-in-law looked at Shen Youchu with muddy eyes. The old people seem to have a set of experience to judge whether their children are happy or not. Shen Youchu is undoubtedly happy now. Her mother-in-law's eyes were somewhat relieved and grasped Shen Youchu's palm tightly.

Returning to the familiar courtyard, Chen Hansheng glanced at it by the cool moonlight and found that it had obviously been cleaned up.

Farm tools are summarized in the corner. There are only a few firewood piles left, which are empty everywhere, and there is no mess when living normally.

Judging from this, my mother-in-law and Anning should also be ready to leave. Maybe there are bags in the hall.

Several people sat down around the mud stove in the small kitchen, and the flickering fire was like a magic, reflecting the figure on the wall.

Shen Youchu prepares the following for Chen Hansheng. She is preparing ingredients on the cutting board. Her mother-in-law sits on the stool and squints her eyes as if she were asleep.

Anning was filling firewood and asked Shen Youchu some strange questions from time to time. She lived in Jianye for two months during the summer vacation and still remembered the busy road.

Chen Hansheng sat down for a while. He always felt as if something was missing. Later, he reacted: "where are the dog and the big cat?"

"In uncle's house."

Anning raised his head, with a flashing yellow light on his small face: "my mother-in-law said that after we leave, the dog will be put in my uncle's house first."

"Oh."

Chen Hansheng nodded regretfully. He was going to bully the little local dog.

"Elder brother, do you want to see me? I can call you back."

Little Anning stuffed a piece of wood into the stove, ran to the yard and shouted in one direction: "egg, egg

The countryside in the mountains is very quiet, and the voice of little Anning can almost cover this village.

Chen Hansheng couldn't believe it at first, until a running sound came from far to near, and the familiar little earth dog soon appeared in front of him.

It also recognized Chen Hansheng and whirled around Chen Hansheng's feet like a joy.

"Brother, look."

Little Anning squatted down, patted the dog's forehead with his small hand, and smiled with special happiness.

Chen Hansheng is also laughing. This is probably the legendary "communication basically depends on roaring, and public security basically depends on dogs".

However, when the dog was called back, the man was also called.

When Chen Hansheng was ravaging the little dog, his uncle and his daughter-in-law pushed the door in.

At this time last year, uncle and daughter just got married, and Chen Hansheng was drunk at the wedding for the bridegroom. Wang Zibo also complained bitterly that the bride was beautiful and the bridegroom didn't match.

"College brother."

The bridegroom called this no three, no four, and a name with identity characteristics.

The bride is shy and embarrassed to say hello to Chen Hansheng, but seeing Shen Youchu busy, she naturally wipes her sleeves to help.

The women in this place seem to have some characteristics of traditional women.

Chen Hansheng took out Zhonghua and threw it to his uncle and groom. When he saw that it was another beautiful cigarette, he was reluctant to enjoy it. He put it in his ear and kept it. He took out tobacco leaves and white paper and rolled it up for smoking.

Uncle came to chat with his mother-in-law. Everyone in the village should know that her mother-in-law and Anning are going to big cities, so relatives want to meet more, and the opportunities in the future may be reduced.

The groom's mind is not difficult to guess. He has been asking about the outside world. Especially when Chen Hansheng said that he often had a traffic jam for several kilometers, the younger brother and groom looked shocked.

When he went down the mountain to buy medicine, he occasionally saw a car with four wheels running on the ground, and "Hula" shuttled past him. It's really a rare object.

But in big cities, how many kilometers can this thing block?

"College brother

When the groom under 20 was about to speak, the honest little earth dog suddenly stood up, bared his teeth and barked "woof woof woof", and there was a sound of footsteps stepping on the snow outside.

"Someone?"

Uncle was close to the door and immediately went out of the kitchen to check.

Chen Hansheng thought that in such a poor place, there could be no thieves except acquaintances.

He liked to watch the excitement and followed him out.

Standing at the gate of the firewood yard was a woman. She was tall, but she looked very thin, as if the wind could blow away.

She was yelled by her uncle, and her hands kept swinging, as if defending something.

When more and more people came out, the woman's voice became smaller and smaller, just bowed her head and agitated her fingers.

"Anning's mother."

Shen Youchu whispered and Chen Hansheng explained.

"Oh ~"

Chen Hansheng suddenly realized.

Anning's father went out to work in the 1990s. He hasn't come back yet. He hasn't heard from him.

For the time being, it's probably that I made a lot of money and forgot my relatives, but this possibility is almost zero. In fact, there are more accidents.

At that time, let alone.

My mother stayed for several years and finally remarried. Of course, it's not far away.

Chen Hansheng glanced at little Anning and found that her little face was full of tears. He didn't dare to make a sound and sniffed.

Anning always didn't want to go out of the mountain, but she was reluctant to give up her remarried mother.

Shen Youchu loves his sister and coaxes Anning in his arms. The bride Shen Ruyi also helps wipe her tears.

Chen Hansheng was very curious. He walked closer and asked his uncle, "what is she doing here?"

"The little girl just shouted. She thought that Anning was leaving the mountain now, so she wanted to see her off quietly." Uncle explained.

"Then just come in and have a look."

Chen Hansheng said with a smile, "what are you doing hiding? It's a little difficult to meet again in the future. Talk to Anning tonight."

"Wait."

Honest and simple uncle stopped: "since she remarried, Anning has nothing to do with her anymore."

"What?"

Chen Hansheng was stunned and turned to look at his mother-in-law.

The old man just stood at the kitchen door with a crutch. She didn't say a word, but her attitude was obvious.

"This is a traditional and somewhat harsh old man."

Chen Hansheng sighed and thought of many things in an instant.

Why does Shen Youchu always wait for Chen Hansheng to eat before he dares to use chopsticks;

Why did Shen Youchu choose Chen Hansheng's favorite fruit first when she bought fruit? She just picked up a few at will;

Why does Shen Youchu buy clothes? She is very willing to Chen Hansheng and even Liang Meijuan, but the clothes she buys for herself will always look at the price first;

······

Shen Youchu only lived the three words "Chen Hansheng" in his life, which is largely due to the indoctrination and guidance of his mother-in-law.

However, it can't be said that her mother-in-law doesn't love Shen Youchu.

No matter how late Shen Youchu came home, her mother-in-law was always waiting with a candle;

Shen Youchu was so beautiful that her mother-in-law told her not to look up outside the mountain;

The money sent home by Shen Youchu will be left to Shen Youchu by her mother-in-law, in addition to arning's school and expenses.

Some ideas ah, my mother-in-law probably can't change, so after Anning's mother remarried, she was a real outsider in her mother-in-law's heart.

"Well."

Chen Hansheng nodded slightly, turned on the mobile phone light and took an Ning's mother impolitely.

The light was so strong that she quickly covered the front with her arm.

Chen Hansheng looked around. In addition to being thin and weak, she was probably very poor. Her cotton padded jacket was thin, and there was probably not too much cotton. Her chin was about to hide in her skirt, which showed that she had a deep sense of inferiority.

Especially, standing in front of my mother-in-law.

"We're all going to bed. What are you doing here?"

Chen Hansheng shook the mobile phone light and frowned.

People like him will not try to change anything, such as shouting "mothers always have the right to see their children, and you should not deprive them", or "mother-in-law, if you want to change this concept, women should have their own legal rights".

This is the practice of Douban literary and artistic young man. Chen Hansheng will only stand on the side with many people.

"Go, go, go back quickly."

Chen Hansheng drove away loudly, but said intentionally or unintentionally: "we are the plane at more than 3 p.m. tomorrow. We have to get up at 6 a.m. and start on time at 7 o'clock, otherwise we won't catch up."

"You come to disturb our rest now. In case we can't start on time at seven, I will make your husband lose money!"

"Cough, seven!"
