dance like a butterfly

Seeing what Lao Han was like, I quickly grabbed Haohao, and said with a smile: "Just now you agreed to go back with me, what's wrong with you? Be obedient, and fourth uncle will take you back after the first day of the new year , At that time, there will still be excitement for you to watch."

After hearing this, Haohao fell silent, walked back obediently, and sat down on the edge of the kang.

The second sister-in-law walked over and put her arms around his shoulders, and said to Lao Han with a smile: "Look, the baby's family, sometimes you have to coax him like Xiaojun, you can't just be tough with him."

Old Han smiled and looked at me.

The second sister-in-law stood up and said to the second brother who was standing at the door: "Go, help Brother Han load those bags into the car."

After the second sister-in-law finished speaking, she turned her face and looked at Lao Han and me with a smile again: "Brother Han, I know you will be busy at the end of the year, so I won't keep you. Now that the sun is still warm and the sun is still warm, you can go early Go back. If there is still time, I will take Haohao to the county town for a while. I promised him just now that I want to take him for a stroll. If time is tight, don’t go. Besides, there is no provincial capital in the county town. Woolen cloth."

Lao Han stood up and smiled, "This time, I came here in a hurry, and I didn't buy anything, so I came here empty-handed, why are you pulling things back?"

The second sister-in-law smiled and said: "Hey, where can I get you some good things? It's just some wild goods. Let Xiaojun go back and make it for Haohao. It's a change of taste. Brother Han, what are you afraid of coming here empty-handed? Take things Come on, that’s what it takes to see the outside world.”

However, Lao Han put his hand into the pocket of his suit, and what he took out was a wad of money.

He walked up to Kang and said, "It's the New Year's Eve, so I'll put down the few thousand dollars for Uncle. If you want to eat, you can buy whatever you want, Second Sister-in-law."

Before Lao Han put his hand down, the second sister-in-law rushed up to stop her, and said in a hurry, "This is not possible! There is nothing lacking at home, don't be like this, you spend more money in this city, besides , Dad won't want it either."

Old Han refused to obey, and he just struggled to stuff the money under the mattress.

The second sister-in-law wanted to fight, so I stopped the second sister-in-law and said, "Let's stay here, don't fight back and forth, it's like a fight."

The second sister-in-law couldn't bear it, so she let go.

Dad grabbed the money on the kang and scolded me, "Look at you kid, not to mention stopping your brother Han, but doing more harm than good. Your brother Han has a family and children who are studying, so there are many places to spend money. Why? Can you ask him for so much money?"

I went over to press my father's hand and changed the subject, "Dad, I... still have some things to deal with in the company. I have to go back with Brother Han. During the Chinese New Year... I may not be able to make it back..."

As soon as I finished speaking, my nose burst into pantothenic acid.

Dad raised his head with almost no black hair, looked at me, he sighed and said, "It's said that officials can't help themselves. Since my baby has something to do at work, let's take care of that end first. Come back when you're done with your work."

Turning around and walking past Lao Han, I took Haohao's hand and went out the door, preventing my dad from seeing the tears in my eyes.

Behind him, I heard Lao Han say, "Uncle, we are leaving now, you should take good care of your body."

When I got to the gate, I heard my father calling my second sister-in-law in the house, "I can't get out, you go and see her..."

Hearing Dad's voice, he turned his head to look at the small courtyard again, feeling desolate in his heart.

It is this ordinary small farmyard, this is the home where I was born and raised for more than [-] years!I have been in this small world since I was born, babbling, toddler, and even naughty climbing up the wall and climbing the house!

On the gray and white wall, there are still traces of my random scribbles when I was a child, and on the branches of the big elm tree in the corner, it seems that there are still remnants of my cheerful laughter when I sat on it.The people living in this house are my flesh and blood parents, and relatives who love me for the rest of my life.It was them, it was they who fed me with milk and millet porridge, and they pulled me up with shit and urine.

My dear relatives, facing the loess and back to the sky all their lives, turned over the soil on the small piece of land in the mountains, and the money they dug out was used for my schooling until they sent me to the provincial capital.In my memory, my dad was always hunched over, like an old ox, constantly busy in the fields. Mom, she was sick and always struggling to move her feet, steaming the dry food I brought to school. , sent me to the gate, to the entrance of the village, until that year, she couldn't hold on any longer, and collapsed in front of Kang Yan.The eldest brother and the second brother, they dropped out of school a long time ago, and helped my father carry the family.The two sisters-in-law had no complaints or regrets, and treated me like their own child. The family worked hard together and sent me to Xi'an, the provincial capital they had never been to.

However, today, when the new year is about to be celebrated, I am leaving to celebrate the new year in the provincial capital with this man named Han Jun.You have to lie to your dad and brothers.

Seeing that his pace slowed down after looking back repeatedly, Lao Han rushed forward and opened the car door for me.

Standing in front of the car door, I saw him staring at me obsessively.

I understood the excitement and guilt in Lao Han's eyes, as well as the endless love.

The second sister-in-law came to help the second brother put the prepared things into the trunk of the car. She was afraid that the road would slip and fall, so she helped Haohao and sent him into the car.

The second sister-in-law stared at me suddenly, and said slowly, "His third dad, you can go at ease, our dad is here, we are here, don't worry about it, just spend the New Year in the city well. It's the New Year, Just be happy, that’s what Chinese New Year looks like.”

Before she finished speaking, her eye circles turned red.Fearing that people would see her, she brushed her hair on her forehead, turned her head and said to Lao Han with a smile: "Brother Han, drive slowly on the road, the snow hasn't cleared yet, it's slippery."

Lao Han had already opened the car door, and was about to open his mouth while standing there, when the second elder brother interrupted the second sister-in-law: "Isn't it that you won't come back? Isn't it just spending a new year outside? It depends on your mother-in-law and mother, so there are such words."

The second sister-in-law smiled at Lao Han, then turned her head and said to the second brother, "What do you know? I just told them to drive slowly on the road. No."

Lao Han smiled and waved his hands, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, go back to the house, it's so cold, we're leaving now."

I lifted my feet and was about to sit in the passenger cab, but Haohao kept yelling from behind, asking me to sit with him in the back seat.

Old Han turned his head back from the seat, his face furrowed.I quickly got out of the car, went to the back seat, and sat next to Haohao. Haohao took my arm and smiled at Lao Han.

The second sister-in-law saw her and said with a smile, "Look, the baby is kissing his fourth uncle." After speaking, she waved her hand and let us go.

Honk the horn, Lao Han started the car, and drove off in a hurry.

I turned around and saw the small courtyard that was so familiar to my bones, getting farther and farther away and blurry.However, I can still see the blurred figure of my second sister-in-law still standing in the bitter north wind.

When the car got out of the village and got on the road leading to the county seat, Lao Han turned his head, looked at me fixedly, opened his mouth to speak, then looked at Haohao, but didn't say anything.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and brushed my face lightly and quickly, "Look at your face, what's on your face?"

I raised my hand, stroked my face, and looked at my hand, but there was nothing there.Looking forward, I saw the back of Lao Han's head covered by short hair and the corner of his mouth cracked in a smirk.

I understood immediately.The unhappiness just now suddenly cleared up.
