When the clock was about to turn, Lin Jiale returned to his home from his fourth uncle's house, because when the handover was handed over at midnight, firecrackers were set off to welcome the new year.He went to the West Room to take a look first. He Fangxu was lying on the bed, his face was still a little flushed, but his breathing was obviously not so short.Lin Jiale hesitated for a moment, stretched out his right index finger, bent it, and touched his forehead, it seemed that the fever had subsided a lot.Lin Jiale withdrew his hand, ready to go back to the east room.

Sheng Mo's call came at this time: "Lele, Happy Chinese New Year!"

"Mr. Sheng, Happy Chinese New Year!" Lin Jiale was going to call him at the moment the clock was turning, but he did not expect him to call earlier, "I should call you to call you for New Year's greetings."

Sheng Mo smiled on the other end of the phone: "It doesn't matter, I'll call earlier, so as to save the phone from being busy for a while and not being able to make a call. There are so many people who pay New Year's greetings to my family at this time of year, the phone is never free."

Lin Jiale felt warm in his heart. Finally, someone would think of him at the first moment of the new year. He greeted Sheng Mo and Sheng Mo's parents with a smile, and greeted them all.

Sheng Mo smiled and asked him: "We're all fine. How about you? Are you okay at home? It's snowed a lot here, and it's all white outside. I just went out for a while, and it was so cold. Just for a while , people are going to freeze."

"We're here too, and it's so cold." Lin Jiale suddenly remembered He Fangxu who had been standing outside for a whole day today, and said bitterly in his heart, you deserve it for freezing to death.Suddenly, someone shouted over there: "Ale!"

This time was 5 minutes away from zero, and the people who set off the welcome firecrackers set the time very accurately, so this time was very quiet, so that sentence not only reached Lin Jiale's ears, but also reached Sheng on the other end of the phone. Mo Er.Sheng Mo asked: "Lele, is there someone at home to accompany you during the New Year?"

"Ah? No one." Lin Jiale hurriedly replied.

"I clearly heard someone calling you just now." Sheng Mo said, at this time He Fangxu called out again. "I heard it again."

Lin Jiale was annoyed, what the hell, why did he call me at this time, just now he clearly saw that he was sleeping soundly, so couldn't he be a little later?He is not good at lying, but he doesn't know how to describe He Fangxu: "A man fell ill at my doorstep today, and I let him stay at my house for the New Year."

Sheng Mo was obviously dissatisfied with the answer. What kind of place is Jiale? How can someone fall ill at his doorstep for no reason? It's Chinese New Year. It's too dramatic. He continued to ask: " Is it someone you recognize?"

Everyone has called out his name, how can Lin Jiale say he doesn't know him: "I do."

Sheng Mo became even more skeptical, and he wanted to keep asking, but someone at Jiale set off firecrackers in advance, and then thousands of households set off firecrackers, and they couldn't stop for a while.What Sheng Mo said, Lin Jiale couldn't hear him, and there was no way to talk on the phone, so he had to hang up.

Holding the phone, Lin Jiale suddenly found himself secretly relieved. The feeling just now made him feel uneasy like being caught by his husband and having an affair with his wife.He put down the phone, ran to the west room, turned on the light, and found that He Fangxu had woken up, and sat up on the bed: "Ale, I want to go to the bathroom."

Lin Jiale asked angrily: "Want to pee?"

He Fangxu nodded: "Yes."

"You wait!" Not long after, a toilet came in from outside, "Use this."

He Fangxu was embarrassed, when had he seen such a primitive toilet.

Lin Jiale said: "Use it or not, at night, if you are not afraid of the cold, go to the hut by yourself, as long as you can find a place, and you are not afraid of the cold. Alright, I'm leaving."

He Fangxu said pitifully again: "Ale, I'm hungry."

Lin Jiale paused for a moment: "I'll bring you something to eat later." In this day and age, when it's Chinese New Year, someone says they're hungry in their own home, and he, the master, is naturally uncomfortable to hear, so Lin Jiale decided to send the Buddha away Go to the west, give people enough food and drink, and send them away early tomorrow morning.

After such a toss, when Lin Jiale set off the firecrackers, it was already past the turn of the clock. At this time, most people had already let it go, and the sound of his firecrackers was particularly prominent and monotonous.Listening to the sound of firecrackers at home, Lin Jiale suddenly felt a little lonely, and hung up the phone before finishing talking with Sheng Mo, wondering what he would think.

Lin Jiale took out his mobile phone and looked. There were several New Year's greeting messages, two of which were from Sheng Mo. Unlike the New Year's greeting messages forwarded by others, Sheng Mo's text messages were all made up by himself, and they were compiled under his name. Header limericks.Lin Jiale smiled, and hurriedly sent a message back to Sheng Mo.In less than a minute, Sheng Mo sent back a message: "Lele hasn't slept yet? It's the New Year, I wish you a new year with a new atmosphere, and a good harvest in both career and love!"

Lin Jiale was embarrassed: "Just about to sleep. I also send the same blessing to Teacher Sheng."

Sheng Mo sighed into the air: "Your love has been harvested, and my talents have been harvested." He continued to reply to the message, without mentioning what happened before the phone call just now. Go to sleep.

Lin Jiale was woken up by the sound of firecrackers. At dawn, someone set off the first firecrackers to open the door of the New Year. Hang firecrackers.The snow outside the door has stopped, and the snow outside has accumulated half a foot deep. This is the heavy snow that has not been seen for many years. The red firecracker confetti and the white snow complement each other, making the whole New Year extraordinarily bright.

Looking at the white as new world, Lin Jiale couldn't help feeling better.Excitedly making breakfast, after making breakfast, he went to Westinghouse to ask He Fangxu to get up for dinner, intending to send him away after breakfast.Maybe Sheng Mo will come over in two days, if he meets He Fangxu, I really don't know how to explain it to him.

Lin Jiale said: "Mr. He, are you feeling better? Can you get up for dinner?"

He Fangxu managed to get into the room with great difficulty, how could he give up this hard-won opportunity for nothing, so he continued to pretend to be sick, lying in bed and unable to get up.

Lin Jiale expected that He Fangxu would pretend to be sick and refuse to leave, so he said: "It seems that the doctors in our village can't cure Mr. He's illness, please get up, and I will send you to the big hospital in the city for treatment." .”

He Fangxu frowned: "Ale, I'm getting better, but I don't have any strength and I'm afraid of the cold, so let me stay for two days and leave as soon as I recover from illness."

Lin Jiale frowned: "Why do you run to other people's houses during the Chinese New Year? You don't know that this is causing trouble for others? You should also go home to celebrate the New Year with your family."

He Fangxu lowered his head: "I have no home, my parents have passed away, my aunt brought me up, and she is gone, so it doesn't matter if I go back or not, I don't have any relatives there."

Lin Jiale: "..." It's Chinese New Year, he really doesn't want to poke someone's scar. "Then are you getting up to eat, or shall I bring it to you?"

"I'll get up." He Fangxu said quickly, and then remembered something, "Ah Le, Happy New Year!"

Lin Jiale turned around and replied in a low voice: "You too."

He Fangxu was overjoyed in his heart, he had finally made progress.

While laying out the meals, Lin Jiale thought, so during the time he and He Fangxu were together, he never thought of getting to know He Fangxu, nor did he ask anything about his family, and He Fangxu himself never mentioned it to him. over these.It turned out that from the very beginning, both of them were not giving without reservation.Thinking of this, Lin Jiale felt relieved, since both of them were like this, there was nothing to worry about.

In this way, He Fangxu was left behind by Lin Jiale's family.Lin Jiale was a little troubled, but looking at the white snow world, he was also happy, because H province does not have heavy snow every year, especially in recent years, the snow has become less and less, so I hope this snow can stay long longer.But he hoped that it would melt sooner, so that He Fangxu could leave quickly.

He didn't wait for Xuehua He Fangxu to leave, but he waited for Sheng Mo to come.On the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Sheng Mo drove his black Buick and appeared in front of Lin Jiale's house again. Fortunately, it was the Spring Festival, and everyone didn't go out to watch the excitement, or else he would stop in front of his house all of a sudden. With two small cars, the whole village must have come to watch the excitement.

As soon as Sheng Mo saw the snow-covered Mercedes-Benz in front of Lin Jiale's door, he knew that he was absolutely right to run here at the risk of slippery snowy roads. If he came later, his wife would have run away with others.

When Lin Jiale saw Sheng Mo, he was embarrassed when he thought of the lingering person in the room.He pretended to be calm and greeted him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Sheng, I wish you New Year's greetings, here are the red envelopes!" He extended his hand as if joking.

Sheng Mo really took out the red envelope from his pocket, put it in Lin Jiale's hand, and said with a smile, "It's easy to talk about." He opened the back seat of the car, "Dudiu, come and pay New Year's greetings to Brother Lin."

Diudiu jumped out of the car and almost jumped on Lin Jiale. Lin Jiale knew that its claws must be dirty, so he quickly reached out to catch it.Looking at Diu Diu's attire made me happy. Diu Diu was wrapped in a bright red jacket, with a pigtail and a bow tie on her head. It looked so funny: "Du Diu, who gave you A little girl dressed up? Aren't you a kid?"

Sheng Mo said, "Dudiu, tell Brother Lin, Gong Xi Fa Cai, and bring me the red envelope."

As expected, Diudiu volleyed with his front legs, touched his front paws, and made a gesture of bowing. It must have been taught by the Sheng family repeatedly when he returned home this time.Lin Jiale was overjoyed, and stuffed the red envelope just received into Diudiu's little jacket: "Diudiu is such a good boy, come on, I'll give you the red envelope." Remembering that he was joking with Sheng Mo just now, no wonder he gave the red envelope so much Refreshing, because I brought a sharp weapon to collect red envelopes.

Sheng Mo stamped the snow on his feet and followed Lin Jiale into the house. "Ms. Sheng, come and enjoy the fire. You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll cook for you right away." It was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Sheng Mo would have to drive four or five hours to get here from home. On a snowy day, it may take longer. It was early in the morning when I left the house, and I must have not eaten yet.Lin Jiale poured boiling water for Sheng Mo, put a plate of snacks and fruit on the table, and went to the kitchen by himself.

Sheng Mo sat down by the charcoal brazier, as comfortable as at home, took off his shoes, and put on the slippers brought by Lin Jiale.Diudiu was also very hungry, and kept wagging his tail around Lin Jiale.Lin Jiale put the stewed pig's knuckle kelp yesterday on the coal stove to heat up: "Doudiu, you can eat it later." Then he lit a fire to heat the food for Sheng Mo.

When Sheng Mo was busy in Lin Jiale, he looked around the room, and there seemed to be no trace of the second person. Could it be that he was suspicious?But there was a Mercedes-Benz parked outside, and the license plate was from Hong Kong. He knew that Jia Le's mother was married in Hong Kong. Could it be his mother's side?He craned his neck to look around, thinking wildly.

Lin Jiale called him from the kitchen: "Mr. Sheng, come to eat."

"it is good."

Sheng Mo ate alone, and Lin Jiale sat at the table and talked with him.Sheng Mo didn't have a good breakfast, so he rushed over early in the morning. After turning off the phone last night, he tossed and turned for a long time. He originally wanted to rush over overnight, but he didn't want to startle his parents, so he held back until the morning. .So at this moment, he was already very hungry. He wolfed down a bowl of rice before slowing down, talking to Lin Jiale while eating.

"Lele, who owns the car outside?"

Lin Jiale was peeling melon seeds to eat, but the movements of his hands stopped: "It's from someone I knew before."

"Someone I knew before?" Sheng Mo raised his eyebrows, this statement is very strange, isn't that an acquaintance.

"Well," Lin Jiale looked down at the melon seeds in his hand in a daze, "It doesn't matter now."

Sheng Mo nodded with interest, it doesn't matter now: "Where is that person?"

Lin Jiale said uncomfortably, "I was sick yesterday and I live in the Westinghouse."

"Oh." Sheng Mo speeded up his chewing movements. Although he was an unrelated person, he had entered the room, so he still had to meet for a while.

Sheng Mo hadn't finished his meal when he heard the side door being opened. He Fangxu was holding a chicken nest head and looking at the two people in the kitchen with a serious face. Unfortunately, his image was too bad and he had no deterrent effect at all.Sheng Mo looked at a sloppy-looking man in glasses standing there, wearing a wrinkled overcoat, with a disheveled face, an unshaven beard, and there might be gum in the corners of his eyes.He glanced at it, then turned his head and continued eating.

He Fangxu also saw Sheng Mo, he knew of Sheng Mo's existence long ago, and he had long wanted to meet this man, but seeing Sheng Mo today, his mental momentum couldn't help but weaken a little.Obviously, he got along with Lin Jiale much better than himself.

Lin Jiale looked at He Fangxu, and the warm smile on his face was frozen: "Mr. He, are you in good health? Can you go back?"

He Fangxu's arrogance was instantly extinguished: "No, I want to go to the bathroom."

Sheng Mo couldn't help but rolled his eyes, this man was definitely here to scare him, I was still eating, and he was about to go to the latrine, so he couldn't help but lose his appetite.One time, he chewed the food in his mouth and went to the bathroom. Lin Jiale didn't even have running water in his house. Can he wash his hands in his hut?If you want to go to the bathroom, go back to your own home.

Lin Jiale had no choice but to stand up: "The toilet is here, you open the back door and go out, the hut with the door is it. By the way, the paper is here."

It was probably the first time in He Fangxu's life that he went to such a primitive and crude toilet, so when he saw that low and dark hut, he no longer had the urge to be convenient.He couldn't help but want to cry.

Sheng Mo put down the bowl, put his arms around the brazier and warmed himself by the brazier, thinking of He Fangxu going to the latrine, he couldn't help but feel happy.Those who come from Hong Kong, grew up in capitalist countries, and are rich, they have never seen the huts in the countryside of our socialist countries. Today will open your eyes.
