In the winter in the north, there is heavy snow, but in Qingshuihe, the coldest time is only when you wake up in the morning, some white frost is sprinkled on the roof, and the water tank in the yard is covered with a thin layer of ice, waiting for the sun to come out , it disappears.
The family received a letter from the army, and sent back with the letter, as well as a few cloth tickets, soap tickets, and sugar tickets that He Xiaoyun saved. It's really useless, the distribution tickets issued by the commune at the end of the year, and the share of the whole family added together, are not enough to make a suit of clothes.
Wang Chunhua couldn't help feeling distressed when they wrote in their letter that they couldn't buy vegetables in the freezing cold and ate radishes and sauerkraut all day long.
Feng Qiuyue suggested: "Mom, otherwise, let's collect the vegetables in the yard, dry some vegetables and send them to the second brother."
Wang Chunhua thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine, let's dry some sweet potatoes, Xiaohang likes it."
By the time Wei Jianwei received the package from home, it was already the twelfth lunar month.
When it was time to get off work, he put away the half-read battle plan and prepared to take it back to continue reading.
Lin Yuefei wandered in from the door, and showed him the scarf around his neck, "This is just sent by your sister-in-law, I told her, whether it's cold or cold, a man, what scarf do you bring? She won't listen, You have to knit one for me yourself, look, these women are troublesome."
He talked about trouble, but his face was full of pride, wishing he could carry a loudspeaker with him and shout it wherever he went, telling others how much his wife cared about him.
Wei Jianwei glanced at him, turned around and took off the scarf on the hanger and wrapped it around his neck, took out gloves and earmuffs from the drawer, and after putting on the equipment that could instantly kill Lin Yuefei, he looked at him in a condescending manner, and then walked away. up.
Lin Yuefei was left to savor the silent contempt in a daze.
This three-piece suit was prepared for him by He Xiaoyun. Wei Jianwei didn't wear it very much at first, and thought it was a bit troublesome, and he was not very quick to move, but since Lin Yuefei wanted to compete with him, of course he had to stay with him to the end, and he couldn't lose.
Back home against the cold wind, open the door, and the warm air rushes towards you.
"Dad!" Wei Yuanhang called out.
He Xiaoyun poked her head out of the kitchen when she heard the movement, "I'm back."
Wei Jianwei nodded in response, closed the door, and shut Fengxue out.
"Father, what is in your hand?" The child dropped the toy and surrounded him curiously.
"Did it come from home?" He Xiaoyun walked out wiping her hands.
Wei Jianwei hung his coat on the hanger, nodded and said, "I just arrived in the afternoon."
He Xiaoyun unpacked the package and let out a wow in surprise, "It's dried vegetables, and there are a lot of dried sweet potatoes."
When Wei Yuanhang heard it, he immediately leaned on the table and said, "I want to eat dried sweet potatoes, mom, I want to eat!"
He Xiaoyun gave him two to send him away, and then read the letter with Wei Jianwei.
He stood behind her, with one hand around her waist, and the other holding her hand holding the letter, basically holding her.
"Why are you standing so close..." He Xiaoyun muttered, but she didn't push him away.
Nothing major happened in the family. He didn’t want to let Wei Jianhua enter the factory earlier, but he didn’t want to let it go. Now Wang Chunhua has other ideas and plans to give him a blind date, start a family and start a business. There is always one thing that makes Wei Jianhua a headache. .
He Xiaoyun thought of Wei Jianhua's behavior when he came to borrow books a few months ago, and said to Wei Jianwei: "Jianhua seems to have a girl he likes, and he even lent your books to her earlier."
"He told you?" Wei Jianwei raised his eyebrows slightly.
"He didn't say anything. I asked casually at that time, and he revealed himself." Thinking of the scene at that time, He Xiaoyun still wanted to laugh.
Wei Jianwei lightly poked her cheek, "Don't worry, let mom bother him."
He Xiaoyun looked at him with a smile, "You are still an older brother in vain, you have no brotherly love at all."
What brother loves to do, but can't be eaten as food, if he doesn't teach Wei Jianhua a lesson, it is already love. Wei Jianwei thought to himself.
"Ah, there are still vegetables stewing in my pot." He Xiaoyun was halfway through reading, when she suddenly remembered that there was still work in the kitchen, so she hurriedly handed the letter to Wei Jianwei, and ran into the kitchen, "Read it to me."
Wei Jianwei leaned against the kitchen door, finished reading the letter, and then watched her busy.
Stewed vermicelli with sauerkraut was boiled in the pot. The sauerkraut was made by myself earlier, and the vermicelli was brought by Xu Lanxiang. He Xiaoyun had never eaten this northern dish before. , but also convenient.
She lifted the lid of the pot, took a little with a spoon to taste the saltiness, looked up and saw Wei Jianwei staring at her, and gave him some, "Taste and see how it goes."
Wei Jianwei didn't reach out, just took the spoon she handed over, and deliberately turned his head to the place where her mouth touched just now, tasted it, then looked at her and said, "It's delicious."
He Xiaoyun reached out to pat him, "Be more serious."
After the relationship between the two had made substantial progress, she felt less awkward about the daily touch, and she would not blush easily, but he has become more and more serious these days, like touching the face, hugging the waist, It has become as frequent as eating and drinking, and there are often actions like just now.
He Xiaoyun sort of understood him, he looked serious and serious on the outside, but he was actually sultry on the inside.
After dinner, she finished cleaning up the housework, and took Wei Yuanhang to the next door to visit, intending to learn a new knitting pattern from Xu Lanxiang and knit a hat for the child.
Because there are three children in the family, the next door is always noisy, He Xiaoyun brought them some dried sweet potatoes, and they were divided up as soon as they sat down.
Xu Lanxiang shook her head helplessly, "Let's save it for Xiaohang next time. This is a bottomless pit in my house. No matter how much food is filled in, I can't even hear a sound."
He Xiaoyun smiled and said: "Hanghang is usually with you and eats a lot of your food. I didn't say anything. If my sister-in-law is so polite to me, I won't dare to let him come in the future."
"Yo, I hear your tone is getting tougher and tougher," Xu Lanxiang teased, "It seems that Lao Wei has been supporting you a lot recently."
"It's as if Lao Wang doesn't support you."
Xu Lanxiang laughed, "Hold on, why didn't he support me, but no matter what, he never brought breakfast to my bed, and twisted my face towel. I see him, he still has to talk to old Wei. Just learn."
He Xiaoyun was a little helpless, Wei Jianwei only did it once in total, and Xu Lanxiang saw it.
Seeing that she was silent, Xu Lanxiang moved closer again, and said in a low voice, "How about it, do you want Xiaohang to sleep with me tonight?"
He Xiaoyun blushed because of the hidden meaning in her words, and couldn't help but glared at her: "You are still the mother of three children, and you are not afraid of Rong Rong and the others hearing such things."
"So what's the matter if you hear it?" Xu Lanxiang was very calm, "I didn't say anything, I just let Xiaohang sleep with me, don't think too much about it."
He Xiaoyun was not her opponent at all, so she had to say in embarrassment: "I won't tell you, I can't tell you anyway. Quickly teach me how to wind the thread next, and I'll go back after teaching."
"Don't be in a hurry to go back. There are people waiting at home." Before Xu Lanxiang taught her, she took advantage of her mouth.
He Xiaoyun said that she was going to leave after finishing her studies, but in fact she was knitting hats and chatting, forgetting that time passed so fast. It wasn't until Wei Jianwei knocked on the door from next door that she realized it was getting late.
"Oh, it seems that someone is guarding the vacant room alone and can't sleep alone. Xiaoyun, go back quickly, lest Lao Wei think that I'm stumbling over your feet, and I'm an eyesore." Xu Lanxiang said with a smile.
He couldn't say anything about her, so He Xiaoyun simply stopped talking, and hurried home with Wei Yuanhang on his hands.
"Have you finished reading your documents? I was chatting with my sister-in-law over there, and it's been a while." While talking to Wei Jianwei, she drove Wei Yuanhang to bed and went to sleep.
When the child fell asleep, He Xiaoyun hung up the clothes beside the bed, turned her head, and bumped into his arms, trying to retreat, but someone hugged her waist.
Wei Jianwei exerted strength with his arms and picked him up in the air.
He Xiaoyun was startled, quickly put her legs around his waist, put her arms around his neck, feeling like she was hanging on him like a child.
Although she has gotten used to his touch recently and is not so easily shy, this kind of action still breaks through her bottom line, but Wei Jianwei buried his face in her neck, as if he wanted to get out of her collar. go in.
He said in a deep voice, "You smell so good."
He Xiaoyun shrank her shoulders timidly, feeling that there were two villains in her mind, one was blushing and shy, and the other was cursing scolding hooligans with her hips on her hips.
