dance like a butterfly

It turned out to be Zhang Wenqing.

"Go to Hua County?"

Zhang Wenqing's tone was not polite at all.

"You are really ignorant. The Chinese New Year is only two days away. If you don't stay with Lao Han in Xi'an, why go back to Hua County?! Just treat yourself as a new daughter-in-law. In the first year of marriage, no matter what, you should be at your in-law's house Chinese New Year! You run away by yourself, and you even kidnapped Lao Han’s family’s baby, you really want Lao Han to spend this year alone? I really don’t know what Lao Han wants you to do?”

Thinking of my dream last night and the things Zhang Wenqing did, I felt a sense of repulsion towards him.Early in the morning, I was reprimanded by him again, and my smiling face froze in the courtyard at the beginning.

"Hey?"

Zhang Wenqing shouted over there.

I coughed to show I was there.

"I'm 28 today, if you have nothing to do, come back early."

His tone was similar to that of a housekeeper.

Before I could say anything, he pulled up the wire in a hurry as if reincarnated.

The nausea to Zhang Wenqing was secondary, but Zhang Wenqing's words still lingered in my ears repeatedly.

Maybe I'm really too selfish. I left Lao Han alone in Xi'an. Do I really want to spend this special New Year in Hua County?

Am I the "new wife"?

I don't know whether to cry or laugh at this new word that came out of Zhang Wenqing's mouth.I know that I can't delve into the deep meaning of this word, but I know that in the eyes of some people, I and Lao Han are already a real couple, at least Zhang Wenqing sees it this way now.

It's definitely a joy to behold.

"New wife, hehe, new wife." I murmured.

The second sister-in-law suddenly stepped into the courtyard and said softly, "What new wife? His third father, what are you talking about?"

"Second sister-in-law, I want to go back to Xi'an."

Second sister-in-law laughed, "Second sister-in-law knows, second sister-in-law knows, you should go back."

"you know?"

"Of course, before the Chinese New Year, you should come back and take a look. After seeing it, you will feel refreshed, and you will be able to celebrate the New Year in the city with peace of mind." The second sister-in-law suddenly approached me and said in a low voice: "Second sister-in-law is Those who came here were just like you back then."

My left hand is my beloved relative, and my right hand is my lover who I want to live with for the rest of my life. Before this most exquisite traditional festival, I have to experience this happy suffering in the same way.

I pursed my lips, and the sun shone through the layers of cold and reflected the snow in the courtyard to illuminate my face.

I said to Haohao: "Where do you want to play? Fourth Uncle will take you there."

Unexpectedly, the child said: "As long as you follow Uncle Fourth, it's the same wherever you play."

Perhaps in the eyes of this child, any world outside the city is full of freshness.But in Hua County, which is covered in snow and ice, the silver-clad Shaohua Mountain is not easy to go to, and Huashan Mountain, which is a little farther away, is full of dangers.The county town of Huaxian, which is closest to my home, may be more or less, but it is a little different for Haohao.

"Let's go to the county town, how about returning to Xi'an before dark?"

Originally, he wanted to celebrate the New Year in Hua County, but now that he thinks about it, he really can't leave Lao Han alone.

A child is a child, and immediately agreed happily.

I squeezed 500 yuan in my hand, of which 500 yuan was new money with a face value of 20 yuan.When there was no one around, I handed it to my dad: "Dad, you can take the money, eat whatever you want, and use whatever you want. It's getting warmer, so go to the village store and buy it yourself. ?br>Dad is rough and full A big hand with blue veins rested on the back of my hand, "Gua Wa, what does Dad need money for now, he doesn't worry about food or drink.It's not easy for my baby to be in the city, you have to spend money on everything, you keep the flowers for yourself. "

Dad didn't accept the money and pushed my hand away.

Looking at my dad's smiling face, I felt sore in my heart.

It is said to raise children to guard against the old, and to hope that children will become dragons, but they have really leaped into the dragon's gate. How many can stay with the old people honestly? The endless desire of the heart.

Seeing that my father didn't accept the money, I had no choice but to pick out the wad of new money, "Then, take this money, and give it to your grandson as lucky money."

Dad hesitated for a moment, took it, and stuffed it under the mattress.

"You have to go?"

"Ah."

"It's okay, other people's dolls also have to celebrate the New Year, so it's not a problem to celebrate the New Year here."

"Ah."

"Then you're not coming back for Chinese New Year?"

"Haohao...Old Han..."

I don't know how to tell my dad.

"Alright, you Brother Han has a good heart, but he's a bit hostile, unlike your Brother Zuo, who makes people feel at ease. However, when you are out and about, you must have three friends and four friends. We need to talk to each other. , Huo Xin should be modest and honest, no matter what you do, just do what you want, and let’s not do things that take advantage of others. I heard from your sister-in-law, this baby Hao Hao has no mother now, the child without a mother is pitiful Well, if you can help Lao Han a little, just help a little, and it's not a waste of a relationship."

Since I came to my house with Lao Zuo and Lao Han, my dad has never said a word to me in front of me. Today, these words came out of his mouth, which really surprised me.

Just as I was about to speak, footsteps sounded outside the door, and Hao Hao jumped in from outside the curtain like a gust of wind.

"Fourth Uncle, Auntie said next door, you want to take me to the county town?"

He was playing in the snow outside, he was panting, his face was as fair as that of Lao Han, and the rosyness from the exercise extended to the roots of his ears. He was wearing a red and white sports jacket and blue sports pants. On the ground, on the orange sneakers, there are splashes of snow dross everywhere.

"Well," I dragged him to the yard, took a white towel and wiped the snow off his body.

"Let's go around the county town and go home after dark."

"Go back here?" Haohao stretched out his arms straight, spread his legs apart, and turned the towel in the yard with the towel in my hand like the word "big".

He was in the period of voice change, and his voice was clumsy and hoarse. There was a thin and tender layer of down on his lips, chin, and jaw, and there were thin drops of water sticking to no one knew where, shining brightly in the fresh sunlight.

This boy who is not Lao Han, with the shadow of Lao Han shining all over his body, is steaming in the courtyard.

"Fourth Uncle wants to take you to Shaohua Mountain, to see Qianlong Temple, Hongya Lake and the dense forest valley. I want you to have fun. I also want to take you to the peaks of Huashan Mountain. I want you to feel Ouyang Feng and Guo Jing. The sword is coming, but the icy and snowy terrain is too dangerous. Let’s go around Hua County today, and return to Xi’an after the tour.”

Hearing that he was going back to Xi'an, Hao Hao stood still.

"I thought we would celebrate the New Year in Hua County."

"Celebrating the New Year in Hua County? What about your dad?"

I didn't expect this child to be mentally prepared to celebrate the New Year in Hua County, which really surprised me.

He laughed.

"It's not easy? He doesn't want to be in Xi'an anymore, he can also come to Hua County."

"Your father also came to Hua County, to celebrate the New Year?"

Old Han came to Hua County with no distractions. A few of us went to visit neighbors in the neighborhood, went to the busiest sun slope to bask in the sun and gossip with Xiangdang, and went to the market to watch the bustling crowd snapping up new year’s goods. At night, after the New Year’s Eve dinner, I watched the children kowtow to beg for new year’s money around my father, set off firecrackers in the courtyard after watching the Spring Festival Gala, respectfully kowtowed to the ancestors in front of the genealogy, and bowed to each other to say good luck for the New Year. New clothes to go to climb, New Year's Day next to the door to relatives New Year's greetings, in the village people pass through with the envy of relatives and friends...

This is just like a fairy tale told by Haohao, and it's just my wishful thinking.

I was a little distracted, and corrected with a wry smile: "You think your dad is just like us two idlers? He just wants to come, so there is nothing to do in the village? It's Chinese New Year, public security, and the village is paying New Year's greetings to the district. , villagers' entertainment, and the mutual visits of your father's engineering team, at this juncture, fourth uncle guesses, your father can't wait to have a clone technique."

Haohao pouted: "At this time of year, he is the most troublesome!"

"It's okay, Uncle Fourth is with you. Except for dangerous places, you can go anywhere. But, we have agreed that we must go back before dark today. It's almost a year old. If we don't go back, it really can't be justified. "

"OK then."

A good look appeared on Haohao's face.

Just as she was about to say goodbye next door, the second sister-in-law had already brought a few big bags, and the second brother followed behind with a smile, also carrying a bag in his hand.

"Auntie, what are you talking about?"

Haohao stepped in front of me to pick up the bag from the second sister-in-law.

Take the bag from the second sister-in-law and come into the house together.

The second sister-in-law said with a smile: "There are no good things, Haohao. Auntie steamed two pots of steamed buns for you, soft ground ones, eggplant and green pepper ones, and big meat vermicelli ones. Your own steamer in the city is small, so it is not easy to cook. .Also, I will bring you some sun-dried wild vegetables, bracken, and fungus. When you want to eat, let your fourth uncle cook it for you carefully."

"What is soft ground?" Haohao looked excited.

"The ground is soft, it's water fungus. It's black, wild, smooth, and has a very good taste."

I interrupted.

"Where did the soft ground come from at this time?" Haohao was puzzled.

"Hao Hao is right. Of course there are no more at this time. The ground is soft until spring. It will be there after the rain, but it will disappear after the sun comes out. It doesn't grow big, it's the size of a shirt button. It grows in the grass cracks and eats. At that time, just soak it in water like fungus."

"Then, I have to try."

The second sister-in-law saw and said, and opened the bag.

I just twisted my body and took a wet towel to let Haohao wipe his hands. He couldn't wait to pinch a steamed bun, broke it open, and stuffed a piece into his mouth.

The other half of the delicately shaped buns are still in Haohao's hands, and you can see the tender tofu cut into thin pieces, as well as the green leeks and finely chopped carrots sandwiched in the dark soft, really beautiful.

Chewing with puffed cheeks: "It's delicious, delicious. It's delicious."

After finishing speaking, his cheeks were still bulging, and the other half was stuffed into his mouth.

"You eat slowly, no one will rob you."

I hurriedly stopped him, it would be bad if he choked.

"Haohao said it's good if it's delicious. If I want to eat it later, my fourth uncle didn't make it for you, so I came to Hua County, and my aunt will make it for you."

The second sister-in-law smiled, turned around and said to me: "Your second brother will send you off. You and Haohao will go to the county town first. I guess it's almost done, so go back. Don't let old Han worry too much about the child, huh?"

I whispered, "Second sister-in-law, come here."

The second sister-in-law stopped with me at a quiet place outside the door and asked, "What's the matter?"

I took out the 2000 yuan I had prepared from my trouser pocket and stuffed it into her hand: "Sister-in-law, I won't be able to celebrate the New Year in Hua County this year. You can take this money and buy something for you, my brother and the children." .”

Seeing that, the second sister-in-law pushed the money over, "His third father, you keep the money, and you listen to sister-in-law."

Seeing that she didn't want it, I was anxious, tears came out all of a sudden, and my mouth was dumbfounded, "You don't want it, I feel bad."

The second sister-in-law also breathed heavily, "I heard from my sister-in-law that she knows what you are thinking. You are worried about our father and feel sorry for him. Actually, it is not necessary. Serving the elderly is what we juniors should do. Who is not a parent Birth? No matter what kind of old man you are, as long as you have a son, you will also have a daughter. A daughter-in-law is the same as a daughter. Besides, you are in the city. At this time, as long as you focus on taking care of you, it is better than anything else. Treating Haohao well is to put Lao Han's heart at ease. Treating Lao Han well is like treating yourself well. Sister-in-law and your brother are not short of money now, so you can treat it as a substitute for sister-in-law Save it first, and ask for it from you when my sister-in-law uses it."

The second sister-in-law insisted on pushing my hand back: "Pretend it, don't push and shove like this, it's not good for others to look at. Don't worry, go back to the city for the New Year, my dad is fine."

While the second sister-in-law was talking, a black car quietly stopped at the door of my house on the creaking snow-covered road.
