See Nanshan leisurely

The aunt still looked indifferent, neither surprised nor rejected Lan Shan's arrival, she pointed to the cabinet next to her to put her things down, then closed her eyes and did not speak.

It’s winter, and this place is different from before. My aunt doesn’t take it with her in her house, but she lights up a warm fire, which makes the house warm. Lying on the rocking chair by the fire, she feels very comfortable. look.If it weren't for the delicate and light clothes on her body, which could fully outline her figure, and her hair was combed meticulously, she would look like any old man who is getting older and loses energy and can only cat at home in winter.

And when she opened her eyes, those overly bright eyes were even more intimidating, and people dared not show any disrespect.

The two roasted the fire in silence and did not talk.

Lan Shan is very used to this.My aunt seldom talks, and she is always taciturn except when she is "using ghosts" for others.But perhaps because of this, once she opened her mouth, what she said must carry a lot of weight.

So when the whole village woke up and every household started to get busy, when Lan Shan stood up to say goodbye, her aunt's words "leave if you want to go, stay if you want to stay" made her feel a little weird in her heart.

At first glance, these words sounded like expulsion impatiently, but Lan Shan always felt that there should be other meanings, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.

When we got home, everyone was already up.A warm fire was burning, and smoke billowed from the thatched roof.

Lan Dacheng carried the pig's head and burned it with charcoal fire at the door of the stove. This thing will be stewed later to worship the ancestors.Hou Acai and Mu Lin were sticking to the couplets while talking and laughing.The Lan family's house was low and dilapidated, and once the red couplets were pasted up, it immediately became a little more festive, making the house seem a little more energetic.

This harmonious family of three fell silent the moment Lan Shan appeared, and did not welcome her unexpected intrusion.

No one said a word, they were as indifferent as if they had met an enemy.

Lan Shan entered the house without realizing it, and first went to put her things in the attic.But when she climbed to the stairs and saw the scene in the attic, her heart was completely chilled.

The attic that originally belonged entirely to her has changed drastically. Except for the cabinets on both sides, the other places are full of messy sundries, and the original bed has completely disappeared.This attic, which was supposed to be her bedroom, has been used by him.

Lan Shan looked at the scene in front of her silently, not knowing what mood she was in at the moment.

Based on her understanding of Lan Dacheng and Hou Acai, this is actually not too unexpected, it is something they can do.But when she really faced this scene, she realized that she didn't have the habits and calmness she imagined, and she still felt her heart was stabbed.

Someone couldn't wait to erase the last ties she had with the family.

Lan Shan stood on the ladder for a while, then slowly climbed down, calmed down, and walked to the door as if nothing had happened.She didn't ask questions, because the answers she could get were nothing more than ridicules like "You haven't been home for half a year, I thought you wouldn't need this room anymore".

That is a hateful righteousness, without any guilt or introspection.

There was only a snowfall in the twelfth lunar month, and it has not completely melted until now.The eaves of the thatched houses hang down with frozen icicles along the straw poles.

This is the favorite toy of children in the material-poor countryside. The crystal clear ice is like fine jewelry, which is out of the reach of children. It always feels very fresh in the hand, as if it really has something. A mysterious, time-limited treasure.Sometimes they also stuff ice cream into their mouths, pretending to be eating popsicles that don’t cost money.

Lan Shan stared at the long icicles, dazed for a moment, then reached out and grabbed one of them.

She held the ice in the palm of her hand, and within a short while, she felt that all the remaining warmth in her hand was sucked away, and the whole hand was frozen, leaving only numbness and stiffness spreading from the palm to all directions, and within a short while, there was a burst of excitement. Slight stinging.

She threw the ice out without making a sound, and watched it hit the ground with a "pop" sound, and shattered into ice balls flying everywhere.

Lan Shan pushed open the door and returned to the warm room.She sat down, rubbed her hands red first, regained consciousness, and then put it on the fire to roast, and her whole body was warmed up in a short while.

Sitting in this cramped room, she suddenly missed Chen Youran very much.

Either he misses the superior living environment of the Chen family, or he misses Chen Youran.She also sat in this room before. At that time, although Lan Shan didn't say anything, she always found it very interesting to see Chen Youran curled up on the small stool.She didn't tell Chen Youran that every time the other party appeared in this room, it made people feel radiant.

that person...

People in the country also use homemade paste to paste Spring Festival couplets.Just use the corn noodles that are usually fed to pigs, and keep stirring on the fire until the viscosity is enough to stick the paper firmly to the wall.I didn't pay attention when it was boiled, and I put too much material.After posting the Spring Festival couplets, there was still half a bucket of paste left, so Hou Acai sent Mu Lin over to arrange for Lan Shan to paste the wall.

For wooden houses, it is too troublesome to paint the walls with lime, and the process is troublesome.So they usually nail a layer of paper shells for warmth.After all, the paper shell is not good-looking, and a layer of white paper needs to be pasted on it.In this way, the room with poor lighting will be much brighter.

As for the paper used to paste the walls, naturally they would not spend money to buy it.The last time the Lan family powdered the walls was four or five years ago. At that time, they used newspapers that Lan Shan had brought back from elsewhere. A thick bundle was enough to powder the supplies twice.

But now it is obviously too late to look for newspapers, Lan Shan just asked what to use to paste the wall, Hou Acai has already walked over with a thick stack of papers, and threw the things in his hand on the ground with a clatter, "Just use these .”

When Lan Shan looked down, her expression became ugly.

The papers on the ground are all her papers from the past two years.From the practice papers privately issued by the teacher to the test papers for various exams, there are several thick stacks, all of which are here.

Those test papers that should have been kept in the cabinet by her were thrown in front of Hou Acai casually like this.And she doesn't seem to feel that she has done anything wrong. Mostly for her, it is useless to keep these things anyway.

Lan Shan bit the tip of her tongue hard, suppressed the pain and anger that was about to rush out of her body, pushed the door and left, "I'm not confused, whoever loves to be confused."

When she turned to close the door, she glanced at the test papers on the floor again.The papers one after another are like this period of her life.Besides, it seemed that she had left nothing meaningful in her ten years of life.

It's not a pity either.All the learned knowledge has been recorded in Lan Shan's brain, and it's just a matter of habit to keep these things. If there is really any meaning that makes people nostalgic, it actually doesn't.

It's just that even so, being abandoned like a shoestring like this by others still makes Lan Shan feel uneasy.

She regretted coming back a bit. In fact, what is the difference between having or not having that so-called reputation?Lan Shan thought of her aunt's phrase "leave if you want to go, stay if you want to stay", maybe that was some kind of warning she gave herself.

Naturally, this year has been boring. Lan Shan went to the house for a while during the day, showed herself, then went to stay at her aunt's house, and slept here at night.Even if the people in the village saw it, they didn't dare to say anything more.

My aunt is not busy during the New Year, and the two of them often sit silently by the fire all day long, neither of them talking, and the atmosphere is peaceful and serene.In such an environment, Lan Shan's heart also calmed down a little bit.

On the morning of the third day of junior high school, Lan Shan woke up early in the morning. First, she set the fire on, cleaned the inside and outside, cooked the rice, and saw her aunt walking out of her room.

Lan Shan told her aunt that she was leaving today, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Auntie, can I ask you to do me a favor in the future?"

"Yes." The aunt replied flatly, staring at Lan Shan with a pair of bright eyes, making her feel that her secret can't be hidden in front of the other party.But there was also an indescribable sense of security, because she knew that once her aunt agreed, what she said would be nothing.

……

Chen Youran picked up Lan Shan at the entrance of the village and took her home.

It was only then that Lan Shan realized that the two of them had also lived in a muddle this year.Obviously, Lan Shan prepared a lot of ready-made dishes before leaving, they just need to heat them up to eat, but most of them were left untouched.

"You're not here, I feel that the New Year is not interesting, just deal with it casually." Chen Youran said.

Chen Yanran dragged Lan Shan's hand to look at the fireworks she had piled up in the main room, "I didn't set off any of them, I just waited for sister Shanshan to come back together."

Although the Chen family sisters often joked that it would be nice if Lan Shan was also from the Chen family, at this moment, Lan Shan really realized that they were not joking, but really treated her as a family member.

They have no home, but as long as they are together, it is home.

She, who had always been in a slump, suddenly became interested in the New Year. She asked, "Today there is a 'meeting' in Dapingzhai. Someone came to ask me out before, but I didn't agree. Do you want to go?"

"Go, go!" Chen Yanran immediately raised her hand, "I'm almost moldy at home, and I haven't seen the Miao people's meeting yet."

Chen Youran suddenly remembered the encouragement Lan Shan performed at the May Fourth Youth Day Gala, and couldn't help asking Lan Shan, "Will you go up and perform?"

Lan Shan shook her head and said, "Probably not, that needs to be prepared in advance, and I'm not interested either."

"That's it." Chen Youran showed disappointment.Lan Shan danced, she was really beautiful, completely different from her usual self, it was a pity that she was rarely seen.

Seeing her expression like this, Lan Shan changed her words again, "But if you want to play, there should be people who signed up to participate at the scene, why don't we change our costumes and participate together?"

Both Chen Youran and Chen Yanran's eyes lit up.
