She raised her face and stared at him, he was really ugly when he had a beard, he looked older than his actual age, but his eyes were always so innocent, he didn't speak much, but he always acted the most honest What a fine man he was.

Kitty was almost nodding, but a hearty voice interrupted her.

"Oh, you are here, my dear Koska, what are you doing here?" It was Koznyshev, his beautiful eyes looked a little playful, and he was kind enough to give these two The awkward young man adjusted the atmosphere, but he didn't expect to interrupt Levin's good business. The latter was flushed with anger, and his face was tiger-faced. If it wasn't for him, he would still remember that the other party was his brother. It's time to say hello to that pretty face.

"What's the matter...did I...damage something?" Koznyshev hesitated a little, and the eyebrows that were originally raised excitedly frowned in confusion.

"I'm going to see Anna and Seryozha." The atmosphere was interrupted, and Kitty also became shy, she got up and saluted, and then hurried away, only turning back at the corner, and glanced shyly This made the man feel better, Levin, but he was still annoyed, and stared at his brother with clear eyes.

Koznyshev blinked innocently, "Did I do something wrong?"

"No, no." Throwing down these words, Levin decided to close his mouth, his lips were as tight as a clam shell, because he was afraid that he couldn't help cursing his stupid brother.

Kitty carried her skirt up to the second floor, her cheeks were flushed like petals kissed by spring, her footsteps were so light that she almost flew up, and she couldn't help pulling her long The hem of the skirt twirled, like dancing, and the hem of the skirt spread out like a fluttering butterfly.

"Anna, honey, I have to tell you something!" She opened the door and shouted excitedly, but covered her mouth after seeing the woman's silence.

She came to the bed gently, and under the quilt was Seryozha who was still sleeping soundly, while Anna was sitting on an easy chair covered with red knitted fabric cushions, with a book on her lap.

"Anna, I can't control myself, I want to talk to you." She lowered her voice, but the excitement and joy were fully reflected on her pretty little face.

Anna closed the book, and asked, smiling, "What's the matter, Kitty?"

Kitty lovingly kissed Seryozha's face, stretched out her fingers to fiddle with the boy's slender eyelashes, heard Anna's words, she turned around, squatted on the ground, put her hands on the woman's knees, Said like a little girl coquettishly: "Anna, he proposed to me just now."

"Him?" Anna thought for a moment. "Konstantin Dmitrich?"

"Yes, of course it's him, Anna, I'm so happy!" Kitty squinted her eyes, her full cheeks were always smudged with pink, her pale eyes were shining, and even the beautiful curly hair seemed It was also plated with gold, making it even more dazzling.

Anna shook the other's tender little hand back, and asked a little excitedly, "So did you agree?"

"No." Kitty smiled shyly, she bit her lips, with some pity, but more joy.

"It was interrupted by the appearance of Levin's brother Sergey Ivanovich, and I was... oh, Anna, it's embarrassing, I was about to say yes, and now I don't know whether I should regret it or not. Fortunately, that's too bold." She touched her hot cheek, feeling extremely shy.

Anna held the blonde girl's hand tightly, and she raised her hand to straighten her messy hair, with a smile on her lips.

"That's very good, Kitty. He proposed to you. It proves that he still loves you, no, loves you very much."

"Yes, I know, Anna, I feel so happy, I am more nervous and excited than the first time I attended a prom, how should I reply him, Anna?"

"Do what you have in mind, Kitty, it will be right," said Anna, smiling.

"Oh, yes, you are right, Anna, I should have done this, I should have done this long ago." She repeated, the smile on the corner of her mouth became brighter and brighter, and she looked like a flower in spring tender and beautiful.

These excited feelings and words obviously went beyond the scope of quietness, Xiaotuanzi under the quilt was woken up, opened his eyes, and vaguely saw his mother sitting on the easy chair at the foot of the bed.

"Mom." The still voice sounded softer, Anna and Kitty turned their heads to look, but didn't see anyone, only saw a small ball in the middle of the quilt moving towards the foot of the bed, after a while , A small head emerged from under the quilt, with messy curly hair, and a bunch of hair curled up in front of the forehead. The little face that hadn't woken up looked dazed, but it smiled and acted like a baby to Anna.

"Mom, hug."

"Sweetheart, did you sleep well?" Anna smiled and stretched out her hands to hug the boy in her arms. It took a little effort, and she hugged the little boy with the blanket on the easy chair to prevent him from freezing.

Seryozha straddled her mother's lap with her legs, her little face nestled in her mother's arms, and she was so lazy that she didn't even want to open her eyes.

"He's so cute." Kitty raised her hand and touched the boy's messy curly hair. They were brown-blond and very soft, and they would look very neat once they were combed.

Seryozha narrowed his eyes in enjoyment. He liked having his hair touched, it felt good.

Anna wrapped the blanket around the little guy a bit, and smiled teasingly at Kitty, "He is very sweet, and you will have one when you get married, oh no, many lovely children."

"Oh, Anna!" Kitty exclaimed shyly.

"Son, what child?" These words made Seryozha come to his senses. He wrinkled his nose, raised his small face to look at his mother, and asked nervously while clutching the clothes on the other's chest with his small hands.

"Baby, when your Aunt Kitty gets married, there will be many lovely babies."

"Didn't you have a baby?" Seryozha hadn't let go of the tension in his heart. He touched his mother's flat abdomen with his little hand and said with some concern. He is not ready to become an elder brother yet, so can he not have a younger brother? sister.

Anna froze for a moment, her cheeks turned red, and she shook her head frantically, "No, Seryozha, it's not me, I don't have a baby, I don't have a baby."

Kitty couldn't help laughing, she blinked her eyes and said maliciously: "Don't deny it so resolutely, Anna, maybe there is already."

"Really?" Seryozha became nervous again, looking at his mother with big eyes for confirmation.

"No, no, baby, I'm not pregnant." Anna patted the boy's buttocks and told him solemnly. The latter heaved a sigh of relief, and continued to bury his little face on her chest, muttering: "Don't be pregnant in your stomach." I have a baby, and I'm not ready to be a big brother." After speaking, he yawned again, raised his face and continued to say softly, "Don't have a baby for now, please."

Anna kissed the boy's forehead, combed the hair on his forehead, and assured him, "There is no baby, only you."

The gentle look and the words made the boy shy, and his cheeks were completely buried in his mother's arms.

Anna lovingly stroked Seryozha's soft hair, and patted his back with her right hand to comfort him silently.

Kitty didn't pay attention to Anna's words. After all, children would never want a younger brother or sister to compete with themselves. No matter how sensible Seryozha was, he was only eight years old after all.She looked at the mother and child with a new look, and unconsciously began to fantasize about the life after she and Konstantin got married.

The meal at noon was also very rich, and the prey was freshly killed. Agafel was a capable housekeeper. She used to be the nanny of Levin's family, but now, the job of housekeeper can be said to be waiting for her to take over. Whether it is Meals and tea sets and so on, she just dealt with it. Even Koznishev said that if there is no Agafel at home, he can't rest assured that his brother can stay alone in the country.

The meat of the freshly hunted prey was very tender, and Seryozha ate more than usual. Anna found that the little guy had a very good appetite recently. No wonder he grew so fast and gained a lot of weight.

After a short break in front of the fireplace after lunch, Koznyshev looked out the window and made a suggestion.

"The weather is fine in the afternoon. Let's go skating. There is an ice rink not far away."

"When did you know, Sergey?" Levin asked curiously. Even he, a native, only recently learned about it. How did his brother know about it when he just came here.

"Ha, it was Darcy who told me. We've been talking about this just now, oh yes, I just wanted to talk to you about it..." He didn't go on with the rest, because he realized that he had just Made a mistake and disturbed my brother's good deeds.

Levin was choked, put down the black tea cup and coughed a few times, his face turned red, and Kitty beside him also blushed and pretended to be sipping black tea seriously.

"Then go ahead, I think it will be interesting." This was what Karenin said. As soon as the voice fell, the man found that everyone was looking at him. Face asked, "Is there a problem?"

"No, no problem." Anna said with a suppressed smile, and Seryozha snickered, covering her mouth in her arms.

No matter what, it's not like what he would say with his face, the woman thought in her heart with her lips curled up.

The skating rink represents many memories for Kitty. When they were young, the five of them often played together. At that time, her brother was still there. Levin and Oblonsky were good friends of her brother. Natalie Ya didn't bother to play these games with them, she was always very busy, but she looked elegant and beautiful, so as the youngest girl, Kitty, she was always the most favored, and when she grew up, her brother died in the army, After Oblonsky worked in the city hall and married his sister, he had no time to play. At that time, only Levin sometimes played with her.

They talked on the skating rink, about past memories or some interesting things now, at first they just shared memories of the man who loves to laugh, but later, it gradually became a matter of giving each other prom, making friends and Levin would tell her some funny stories on the farm, until one day she suddenly realized that her relationship with Levin was better than anyone else's. She relied on him and liked to share her happiness with him. He shared with him his troubles, at that time he felt that Levin was a best friend, and they got along as naturally as left and right hands together, until Levin hesitated and flinched, at that time he didn't come often to her, and she couldn't tell anyone about it.

What to say, she thought at that moment, this is not something easy to say, after experiencing grievances and boredom, Vronsky just stepped in, he was handsome and romantic, he always made her giggle, gradually Yes, she cared so much about Levin until he proposed to her, but at that time she was completely captivated by Vronsky, and she couldn't promise him, but after Levin left, she began to She regretted it and felt that she was too rash, so when she learned that Vronsky didn't mean that to her at all, she was so ashamed that she almost died.

It was such a bad memory that Goldilocks' eyes watered every time she thought about it.

The newly opened skating rink was very poorly equipped, and there were few people there. After all, it was in the countryside. Even if there was nothing to do in the winter, the farmers would rather stretch their bones in front of the fireplace and prepare for the coming year.

The cold ice surface is surrounded by natural grass, but some guardrails have been added, and there is only a man with small eyes dozing off at the place where the skates are rented.

I rented roller skates. On the bench, Anna tied the shoes for Seryozha. The little one seemed to be playing for the first time and looked very excited.

"Mom, have you ever played before?" Anna was asked, and when she was at a loss, Karenin spoke.

"Your mother is doing well."

Anna looked at him, and the other party simply squatted down, took over Anna's job, picked up the other skate, and put it on for him with only his palm-sized support for Seryozha's little foot.

"That was the first time we met, but you may not know, Anna, you didn't see me at all at that time." Karenin paused, patted his son's little feet to make him move.

"And then, Dad?" Seryozha lifted his little foot cooperatively, moved it, and put the skates in. He asked his father, curious about the stories about his parents' past, because there were not many such opportunities.

Anna was also squatting beside her, looking at Karenin with her head tilted. The man lowered his eyes and seriously tied his son's shoelaces. His fingers were slender and his joints were distinct. He smiled softly.

"At that time, I was visiting your aunt's house. When I was leaving, I passed the skating rink, which was in the open air. I heard your laughter from a distance, so I stopped and looked at it for a while. Later, your aunt introduced you to me. Only then did I realize that you were the lady she said."

Anna blinked her eyes, and began to imagine the scene in the man's narration, the open-air skating rink, the young woman wearing skates blinked and smiled in the sun, her arms were beautifully lined, and the smile lines on the corners of her lips were as beautiful as roses, no The man in the distance watched silently...

Maybe he is indeed in love with her, but the needs of the two people are different. What Anna needs is passionate love, but Karenin just can't express it. He is a man who is used to forbearance. If he stops and glances, he should like it. Well, otherwise, why would a man who doesn't even want to waste a minute stop.

She leaned lightly on the man's shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Alexey, do you like skating?"

"Don't hate it. After all, the winter here is too long. You must find something to do when you are resting." Karenin said lightly.

"Mom, let's go play." Seryozha stood up from the bench, pulled his mother's hand and said coquettishly. This action dispelled those emotions a little.

"Okay, let's go." Anna stood up and said with a smile.

"Mom is on the left, dad is on the right, and me is in the middle." Seryozha turned a corner and squeezed into the middle. When he found that his mother was being carried by him, he deflected her body. He stuck out his tongue and giggled in embarrassment, and let go of her Holding hands again, the family happily entered, and Darcy and Koznishev inside had already had fun.

After putting on his skates, Levin came to Kitty's side and said with a blushing face, "Let's go too."

"En." Kitty replied shyly.

Levin's skating skills were very good. When he reached the center of the ice rink, he suddenly reached out to the woman and asked shyly, "Can I hold you?"

Kitty froze for a moment, then blushed, she nodded lightly, and put that tender little hand into the big black one.

His hands are really big and warm. They feel different from his father's. They are a little prickly, but they are still reassuring, the blonde girl thought ecstatically.

As for Levin, his smile almost exploded like fireworks on his face. He felt that he was not gliding on the ice, but on the clouds, and the wind blew past his cheeks, making him feel refreshed. .

Inside the skating rink, Anna looked amusedly at his little baby who hadn't dared to leave after a fall, and squatted on the ground while clutching his father's trousers, her face flushed from suffocation.

"Baby, it's not scary, this time mom will hold you, look, dad will protect you from behind." Anna squatted down and kissed the little guy's face to assure her.

"You didn't do it just now." Seryozha looked at his mother aggrievedly. When he first came in, he was too excited, thinking that it would be fine for his mother to hold her hand, but he fell down and his ass still hurts.

"Sorry, Seryozha, I'm really sorry." Anna said apologetically. She was a little distracted just now, but she didn't expect the little guy to fall. Fortunately, the winter clothes are thick, but it seems that the little butt will still hurt. .

"Hush?" she asked with a smile.

Huhu, facing the little butt, Seryozha blushed, and said awkwardly: "No...no need."

Karenin watched the mother and child talking endlessly, and the topic became more and more deviated from the subject. He bent down and picked up the boy to make him stand upright.

"I will protect you from behind, Seryozha, don't forget that you are already eight years old, so now you can stop acting like a baby with your mother?"

"Oh." Seryozha nodded blushing.

"Alexey, no matter how old he is, he has the right to act like a spoiled child in front of his mother." Anna stretched out her hand and hugged the little boy in her arms. The latter bent his eyes and kissed her cheek again, whispering: " I just like being coquettish with you, Mom."

"I like it too." She also whispered, and the mother and son laughed together.

"Does your ass still hurt?"

Seryozha whispered in his mother's ear: "There is still a little."

"Will you be brave?"

"Well, I will." The boy promised, showing a mouthful of small white teeth.

"Anna, you dote on him too much." Karenin frowned, but he was not serious.

"I like to pamper him." The woman raised her face and said with a smile. Karenin could only sigh with a roguish look. In the past, he would have given a lot of reasoning, but at this moment he didn't want to destroy all of this. .

Under the sun, the cold air on the ice wraps around everything like a thin layer of veil, and happy laughter rippling in this small world.

The group of people came back in the evening, and as soon as they reached the door, the hunting dog Laska jumped out, barking excitedly, and after a while, Agafay, the butler who was in charge of the lamp, also came out, and the wrinkles on his face were all smiling.

"There is good news, my lord. The fine-bred cow you bought last gave birth to a calf in the afternoon."

"Born by Bawa?" Levin asked a little excitedly.

"Which end could it be?" Agafy said with a smile.

"This is really great, Gu Shima, bring me that lantern, I'll go and have a look!" he shouted, and soon Gu Shima got a lantern.

"Maverick!" Seryozha ran over and tugged at the hem of Levin's clothes, shouting with big eyes shining, "Can I go, Uncle Koska, can I go?"

"Of course, little guy." Levin picked up the boy, turned his head to smile at the rest of the people, and said, "Let's all go and have a look together!"

Anna had never seen a newborn calf, so she was also very curious, but Kitty at the side didn't move.

"What's the matter, Kitty?"

"I..." Kitty hesitated and did not move, but bit her lips.

Careful Anna finally knew why. The cowshed where the fine-bred cows were raised was behind the house, and the place was also very dirty. As soon as she got closer, she could smell a hot cow dung smell. Kitty's clothes They are all very beautiful, and naturally they are not suitable for places like the cowshed.

Kitty's hesitation made Levin turn his head to look at him. When Anna's eyes fell on the beautiful pink dress on Kitty, he saw it too. Not only that, but the excitement also cooled down. , because the man suddenly realized what a beautiful city girl Kitty is, look at her smooth and delicate wrists and neck, and those beautiful clothes. Kitty is not a girl who can go to the farmland or the cowshed with him casually.

Seryozha felt the arm of the man holding him stiffen. He raised his head suspiciously, tugged at the man's clothes, and asked, "What's wrong with you, Uncle Koska?"

Kitty looked up at the man, those eyes were as frank and honest as ever, and at the same time clearly expressed what he was thinking now, and she understood the other's thoughts, which made her tremble a little.

Does he regret it?As she thought about it, she clenched her little hands, suppressed her panic and smiled, "Aren't you leaving?"

"No." He said softly, his eyes looked hurt.

The author has something to say: Thank you Lin Si, He Mu, ruby, Mr. S for your reward!
