Then it rained and snowed outside. It wasn't very cold if it was just snowing, but it was much colder when it started raining.

Yang Ci brought in the kerosene lamp hanging outside, at this time Yang Menglian no longer changed clothes.

He reached out to wipe the mist outside the kerosene lamp, and saw Yang Menglian mysteriously took out a sweater, which was a birthday present she had prepared for Yang Ci a long time ago.

Yang Menglian didn't have much money or tickets in her hands, so the gift she gave her brother was not very expensive. It was a sweater she spent a lot of time knitting.

Even so, the wool money needed for a sweater still cost half of her savings.Because Yang Ci is growing too tall now, in order to prevent Yang Ci from growing taller in the future.So her sweater was knitted one size larger, and she needed more wool than ordinary people.

Most people like to make clothes and shoes by themselves in this era.First, it is much cheaper to make it yourself than to buy it, and second, it fits better when you make it yourself.

Yang Menglian has learned to make clothes since she was a child. Although her craftsmanship is not as good as that of many adults, she can still knit a simple sweater.

Yang Ci's skin is cold and white, a little fairer than most people's. With such a complexion and his good looks, he can afford to wear any color.

Especially some bright colors will make him look very youthful and sunny.But in order to let him match the clothes well, Yang Menglian chose white, which is easier to match the clothes.

After Yang Menglian took out the sweater, she began to urge Yang Ci to try it first, so Yang Ci had no choice but to put on the new sweater she made.

The sweater Yang Menglian knitted was a little too big for Yang Ci's body. It was a simple style with a white turtleneck.

Wear it with a military coat or a black woolen coat casually, and if you wear it on a tall person like Yang Ci, it will be a beautiful scenery when you go out.

Yang Menglian admired her own work, and then let Yang Ci go back to her room to rest.

Yang Ci returned to his room and didn't sleep, because he wouldn't be able to sleep for a long time if he lay down now, and he probably would get up soon to eat dumplings for New Year's greetings.

But it was a bit cold not to get under the covers, so Yang Ci hesitated for a while, then closed the door, and entered the study space to do the meeting questions.

He had taken the junior high school test before, and there was still a Chinese test that he hadn't finished, so he planned to pass the test at this moment, so that he could get another high school score.

So Yang Ci spent two hours to finish the last exam of junior high school.After successfully harvesting a thousand points, he turned off the master mode and slept for a while.

After waiting until someone outside started setting off firecrackers, Yang Ci rubbed his eyes and came out of the space.

At this time, the countryside is still very poor, and the cannons that can be fired during the Chinese New Year are also the kind of small cannons, which means that it is very good to put a bunch of them.

The firecrackers that can be played by children at home are also dismantled from the firecrackers one by one.Even if the Yang family is quite affluent now, they can only put a small bunch of dumplings when eating at night.

Yang Ci is not a real half-child, so he is not as excited as other children.After eating the dumplings around the main room, the whole family began to line up to wash their faces, brush and change into new clothes, and then they would follow Yang Mancang to the village to pay New Year's greetings.

In the past, people had to go to the graves in the field. In the past two years, due to the reason of breaking the superstition, they can no longer go to the graves in the field in a big way.

Yang Mancang put on a new outfit, and took Uncle Yang to the grave on a foggy morning with sleet.

So I led a group of children in the family and started going door to door to celebrate the New Year with relatives in the family.During this process, Yang Ci's eyes were still darkened, because of the many seniorities of the country people, he couldn't remember whether this was the second uncle or the third uncle, and he couldn't remember who the chubby baby belonged to, so he just It's right to follow everyone with a blank face and call someone.

When they finally came back from New Year's greetings, the sleet that had been pattering before stopped, but the thick fog in the winter morning was still foggy.

It seemed that the entire small village was shrouded in a vast expanse of whiteness, and people five meters away could not see very clearly.

Seeing Yang Ci yawning and entering the door, Liu Xianmei wrung out a hot towel and wiped his face. Seeing this, Yang Ci hurriedly wanted to take it by herself, but was slapped as soon as he stretched out his paw.

"Okay, okay, I know you've grown up. But it's cold today, so don't touch your hands. I'll wipe you off and go to bed soon."

Yang Ci was really sleepy right now, and his eyelids were fighting when he came back.So he quickly closed his eyes and lowered his head, intending to enjoy his mother's love, but his tender face was almost wiped bald by his mother.

Yang Ci returned to the room and kept touching his face, always feeling that his handsome face was wiped flat by his mother.

……

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Xianmei was going to take the children back to her natal home.Liu Xianmei's natal home is a little far away, separated by three villages and a Daba River, so it takes a lot of time to ride there.

In the past, Liu Xianmei only took Yang Ci with her, so no matter what the benefits of going there, the original Yang Ci could be taken by herself.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Lingxu has a lot of opinions on the original owner, and always feels that the original owner has taken advantage of him since he was a child.

But this year the family married a new daughter-in-law. In order to let her natal family meet people, Liu Xianmei brought the young and old together.

Originally, she wanted Yang Menglian to go there with her, but thinking that Yang Menglian was not too young now, she might be dragged to talk about her husband's family when she got there.

Liu Xianmei discussed with Yang Mancang that she planned to marry Yang Menglian to the commune or county town in the future. In order to prevent Yang Menglian from being targeted again, she did not bring Yang Menglian with her.

Because the distance was a little far, they set off by bike before dawn.Yang Ci rode a car with Liu Xianmei, Yang Jiayou rode a car with Yu Xinxue, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law each carried a basket in their arms.

In the basket were eggs prepared by visiting relatives, white sugar, brown sugar, yogurt, sprinkles, candies, and two pieces of meat that weighed two catties.

Besides the contents of the two baskets, there was a chicken in the basket in front of Yang Ci.In this era, the handwriting of the relatives of the Yang family can be regarded as quite pompous.

After Yang Ci and the others rode for an hour, they stopped to rest when they passed the Dam River.Although Yang Ci and Yang Jiayou were not very tired, the people in the car were not comfortable sitting all the time.What's more, the road at this time is very rough, and it is very hard to sit in the back car.

A family of four was resting on the Dam River Bridge, and Yang Ci was squatting on the edge of the bridge, squinting his eyes and looking into the river under the bridge, really wanting to see if there are any fish in the big river?

It's a pity that the weather in the past two days was very cold, and the river surface was frozen by a thin layer of ice. He stared at it for a long time but didn't see anything.

Before Yang Ci continued to stare at the river below, he heard the third sister-in-law at the side reminding him: "Yang Ci, don't look down like that, it's easy to fall if you are not careful."

Because this bridge has no guardrails, the bridge deck is very high from the river.Some people who are afraid of heights stand here, if they get a little dizzy, they will easily fall down.

Yang Ci stepped back honestly when he heard the words. The reason why he dared to stand like that was because he was not afraid of heights, and he was very confident that he would not fall.

But no matter how confident he is, he has to be careful, and he can't just make fun of his own life just because he has the guts to make fun of it.

Seeing that Yang Ci was still obedient, Yu Xinxue couldn't help but just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw a woman in a red padded jacket suddenly jump off the other side of the bridge.

This scene was so sudden that Yu Xinxue froze for a moment, and then immediately yelled.

"It's not good, it's not good, someone jumped into the water!!"

When Yang Ci heard the plop, he knew that his special physique was coming again, and it always made him encounter such troublesome things.

But even if he thought so in his heart, he still took off his clothes without hesitation and was about to jump into the river, but this time someone took the first step before he could save him.

The other party was a little soldier passing by here, because the other party was the closest to the woman's position, and he was also the first to spot the woman jumping into the river, so he was one step faster than Yang Ci.

Seeing that the other party's water skills are very good, Yang Ci has already grabbed the woman and started dragging him to the river. His comrades also went to the river to help save people, so Yang Ci put his mind back and put on the clothes he had taken off. superior.

Because the woman was rescued in time, apart from choking on a few mouthfuls of water and catching a cold, there was nothing serious about the situation.

The People's Liberation Army was all over there, and a woman dressed as a military doctor came halfway. Seeing this, Yang Ci didn't go over to join in the fun. He was called out by Liu Xianmei and left on a bicycle.

Along the way, Liu Xianmei was muttering, "What's wrong with me, do I have to jump into the river to commit suicide? Even if something really difficult happens, isn't there still the Women's Federation and the People's Liberation Army?"

"That child is still so young, she looks only in her twenties. If she is not rescued and kills someone else, then her crime will be serious."

Yang Ci didn't answer the words, because he didn't know what happened, and it was really hard to comment on other people's affairs.

At the same time, he also knew that Liu Xianmei couldn't help saying a few words because he felt sorry for the other party. In fact, Liu Xianmei didn't really mean to blame the other party.

After riding for more than half an hour, he bypassed a big national road ahead and entered the boundary of Yang Ciwai's house.

There were crop fields everywhere along the way, and when they finally entered the village, they saw some scattered brick houses.

Probably because he knew that Liu Xianmei would come, Second Uncle Liu waited at the entrance of the village early in the morning. When he saw Liu Xianmei, mother and son, he immediately shouted happily to them: "Hey, hey, let's see who's big sister is back. gone?"

Liu Xianmei got out of the car happily when she heard the words, and ran to her second brother as soon as she got off, looking as happy as a child.

Seeing this, Yang Ci and the others hurriedly pushed the cart over, and followed Liu Xianmei obediently to call out.

When Yang Jiayou got married before, Second Uncle Liu went with the rest of the Liu family, so he met Yu Xinxue, the new wife.

Seeing that Liu Xianmei had brought her along at this time, she knew it was for the purpose of allowing parents to see each other.So he immediately led the people towards Liu's house with a smile on his face.

The Liu family can't compare with the Yang family's situation, they can only be regarded as very ordinary people in the countryside.Except for Uncle Liu's family, the whole family is doing well, and the only one living well is my aunt's family living in the county.

The man Yang Ci's aunt married was a worker, and her aunt also had a job in the county because of her good marriage.

Because of living in the county all the year round, his vision became higher, and gradually he became less close to the Liu family.

Liu Xianmei deliberately chose to come back in the second year of junior high school, and another reason was to avoid the other party.Because every time the other party came back, he had to raise his chin to talk to Liu Xianmei, with a domineering look on his face, which was very annoying.

Although Liu Xianmei suffered a lot when she was young, she had never been wronged mentally when she was in the Yang family. Her character could not help but explode when she met that little girl.

Of course, no matter how discordant their tempers are, the two of them are also biological sisters, and they won't really do anything after a small fight.

A person like Liu Xianmei who is afraid to avoid her is still the brother-in-law who is regarded as a treasure by the younger sister.I don't know if she is too sensitive, she always feels that her brother-in-law is not a good person, and she has an indescribable weird feeling about her.

Liu Xianmei had asked her little sister before, tactfully asking her if there was something wrong with her man, but the little sister almost got into a fight with her because of this matter.

Why did Liu Xianmei's man have problems, so he insisted on clamoring for Liu Xianmei to apologize to her.It was precisely because the two had a quarrel that Liu Xianmei didn't bother with the younger sister's family much after that.

I thought that my little sister and her family would not come back until the third year of junior high as in previous years.Unexpectedly, when Liu Xianmei came to Liu's house with someone, she found that the younger sister and the whole family had also come, and Liu Xianmei's expression suddenly became unhappy for a moment.

Yu Xinxue has a meticulous personality, and as soon as she saw the fleeting displeasure on Liu Xianmei's face, she knew that there must be someone who was not worried.

Liu Xianmei's character will not throw face for no reason, unless she meets someone particularly annoying.

It doesn't mean that Xinxue went to look for the unwary person, the unwary person ran towards her by herself.

When Yang Ci was talking to a group of cousins, a young man who was shorter than her came to her, deliberately ignoring Liu Xianmei who was the first to enter the door, and also skipping Yang Jiayou and Yang Ci brothers. Follow her here.

"You are the new wife, right? I didn't expect you to be so good-looking? I heard that you are still a female educated youth. Why did you marry a mud-legged person? If you want to marry, you should marry someone from the city."

The other party should be about the same age as Yang Ci, but his height only reaches Yang Ci's shoulders, which shows how unsatisfactory this boy's size is.However, he didn't think he was short, and thought he was handsome, so he brushed his hair.

Yu Xinxue frowned when she heard this, and stepped back unobtrusively, obviously she had a bad impression of the other party.

She had never seen such a person, who was short and ugly but had a confident face, and the first sentence he opened his mouth was so mean and frivolous.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, you're not deaf, are you?"

Seeing that Yu Xinxue ignored him, the young man took another step forward a little displeased, and his face was almost on Yu Xinxue's body.

Before Yang Jiayou got angry and stretched out his hand to push the other party away, Yang Ci took the lead to block between the two of them. Seeing this, Yang Jiayou pulled Yu Xinxue away.

Seeing this, Yu Xinxue was a little worried about Yang Ci, that person looked like a big thorn, and seemed to see what Yu Xinxue was thinking, Yang Jiayou squeezed her fingertips and said: "Don't be afraid, the two of them met, It’s not certain who will suffer.”

That boy is the youngest son of my aunt's family, named Zhang Weihan, who is as old as Yang Ci, and also the youngest in the family.

In the past, Yang Ci never suffered a loss when he met Zhang Weihan, and now Yang Ci will not suffer a loss when he meets him.

Yang Jiayou was not worried about his younger brother, but more worried about his gentle daughter-in-law.In order to prevent his daughter-in-law from being offended again, Yang Jiayou planned to take her to a safe place, that is, beside her majestic grandma.

Although Yang Jiayou's grandma is quite old, but now the whole Liu family still has the final say, and even the aunt with high eyes doesn't dare to do anything wrong in front of her.

Seeing that the beautiful educated youth was taken away, Zhang Weihan immediately wanted to push Yang Ci away with dissatisfaction, "Who are you, do you know how to be polite?"

Hearing the words, Yang Ci pinched the other person's shoulders, and imitated the other person's tone and said in a stern voice: "Zhang Weihan, who do you think I am? Who did you tell me just now, and who are you saying that you have mud legs?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Zhang Weihan suddenly recognized that the person in front of him was Yang Ci.Yang Ci was as chubby as him when he was a child, but he didn't expect that he would change drastically after only a few years.

Zhang Weihan recalled Yang Ci's pants being ripped off when he was a child, and the experience of being hanged from a tree by Yang Ci.

Immediately, he pushed Yang Ci away with a little fear, and then backed away while yelling sternly: "It's you, Yang Ci, get the hell out of here, I don't want to talk to you."

Aunt Yang Ci's family has three children, and the two above Zhang Weihan are older sisters, and their names are Pandi and Zhaodi, which shows how patriarchal this family is.

The aunt brainwashed the two daughters every day, saying that the two of them were born because of their younger brother, and told them to treat their younger brother well in the future.

In addition, the rest of my aunt's family are also so used to this boy Zhang Weihan that he is now sixteen or seventeen years old, and he is still like a giant baby who has not been weaned.

In fact, the Yang family is also very pampered by the original owner, but the original owner still knows what is right and wrong, for example, he must not do anything illegal.

When you see some older elders, you must respect them, even if you don't like it, you should be sweet.Unlike Zhang Weihan who would offend people with just one mouthful, just the two words he just said offended a whole yard of people at once.

Seeing that he was going around a bend, Yang Ci followed behind him step by step, and dragged his voice very embarrassingly: "Hey, don't go! You don't want to talk to me, but I want to talk to you. We two brothers It's been a long time, how can I be intimate?"

Zhang Weihan said angrily: "Who wants to make out with you, who do you hate? Can you go away?"

Yang Ci grabbed Zhang Weihan's shoulder. The strength in his hand was not so strong, and Zhang Weihan's expression was almost distorted. "Come on, I haven't seen you in years, good cousin!"

Zhang Weihan was in so much pain that he wanted to stretch out his hand to scratch someone, but fortunately he wasn't particularly stupid. He still remembered that the main reason they came to grandma's house this time was because of Yang Ci, otherwise he would have started a fight with Yang Ci.

Uncle Liu and others heard the bluffing here, and at first thought that the two were fighting again.

After all, these two people have been fighting since they were young, and every time they meet, they will never give up if they don't have a fight.As a result, everyone looked this way curiously, and saw Yang Ci following Zhang Weihan with an "intimate" face, and seemed to want to "connect" with Zhang Weihan.

Compared with Yang Ci who is sensible, enthusiastic, generous, and knows how to be close to his family, Zhang Weihan's attitude towards Yang Ci is beyond words.

Uncle Liu frowned slightly when he saw this, looked at the little girl beside him and said, "Little sister, I'm not talking about you, look at how you raised the child, who is also the youngest in the family, Yang Ci is much more sensible than Zhang Weihan.

The last time I went to Yang's house, Yang Ci served tea and poured water, he spoke nicely and acted generously.It's not like the one in your family, who is about to be crippled by you. "

If she heard this before, Liu Xianyan would definitely not be happy.However, thinking of the request from her family, Liu Xianyan said with a rare temper: "Yes, yes, Yang Ci is really a good kid. When I was in the county with my mother-in-law before, I saw him bravely doing righteous things on the road, helping A schoolgirl recovered the wallet.

At that time, my mother-in-law said that the child looked energetic and looked good.She also asked me how old Yang Ci is now, is it time to talk about daughter-in-law? "

Uncle Liu was stunned when he heard this, and then as if he understood something, he quickly shook his head at Liu Xianyan and said, "No, no, you should stop making bad ideas. If you let Xiaomei know, when the time comes She's definitely going to mess with you again."

Liu Xianyan suddenly became dissatisfied, "What do you mean by making a bad idea? Yang Ci is not young anymore, and the New Year is over. There are eighteen babies in the countryside, and he will see each other sooner or later. I am his aunt. , could it possibly hurt him?"

Uncle Liu couldn't explain it to her, so he could only say, "No, Yang Ci is still studying, so don't even mention it."

Seeing this, Liu Xianyan curled her lips, and when everyone had dinner together at noon, she still couldn't help mentioning something to Liu Xianmei.

When Liu Xianyan mentioned this matter, Yang Ci had successfully won the favor of his cousins ​​through the small gift he brought.

The big cousin took the big red hair card he gave him, and gave him an extra chicken leg when serving the meal. For this reason, Zhang Weihan was very unhappy when eating.

The eldest cousin touched the bright hairpins on her head. She had never worn these hairpins since she was a child, and she was a little uncomfortable wearing them for the first time.

But what I have to say is that the gray person looks a little more energetic than usual when he wears some suits.

The eldest cousin couldn't help but praise her for being good-looking when she saw her man.The smile on my face has never stopped since I put on the hairpin.

In addition to the big cousin who received a small gift, the two cousins ​​at home and a younger cousin also received hairbands and hair clips from Yang Ci.

When Yang Ci bought gifts for his sister-in-law before, he bought them for free shipping. He didn't expect a few small things to make them feel so good.

The eldest cousin saw that the eldest cousin liked it so much, and while the eldest cousin was serving food in the kitchen, he sneaked into Yang Ci's ear and asked, "Is that expensive? Where can I buy it?"

He is just a rough man, the farthest place he has ever been to in his life is the county seat.At that time, I went shopping to marry a daughter-in-law, and I never went to the county to hang out after that.

In the past, when the eldest cousin was never married, she was also a very laughable character.Later, after marrying the eldest cousin, she stopped laughing. Originally, the eldest cousin thought she had changed.

Now that he saw her smile again, he, a big bastard, realized something belatedly.He didn't seem to have given his wife anything, not even a wild flower picked by the roadside.

Thinking of this, the eldest cousin suddenly felt sour, and suddenly felt that he was very sorry for his wife. She had already given birth to two big babies for him, so he couldn't let his wife feel bad about him.

He wanted to ask Yang Ci where he bought those things. Although their family was not as wealthy as Yang Ci's family, they still had to save money to buy a headband.

Yang Ci couldn't buy those things at all, but he could "buy" for his eldest cousin, so he told his cousin a low price.Anyway, this kind of thing can't make much money, so it's better to take it out as a favor.

When the eldest cousin heard this, his eyes lit up immediately, "Okay, then I will give you two yuan first, and you can help me choose a few more, and I will go to your village to get them."

As he spoke, he fumbled for a long time, and took out a stack of change. After counting two yuan and giving it to Yang Ci, he gave Yang Ci an extra fifty cents as errand fees.

Seeing this, Yang Ci was not polite to him. After he quickly stuffed the money into his pocket, he heard the adult's table quarreling.

Before Yang Ci wondered what the noise was, he heard Liu Xianmei's voice like the roar of a lion in the east of the river, "Liu Xianyan, don't even think about it, I know who you are better than anyone else. Since you are so If you have time to spare, you might as well teach your stupid son so that he doesn't look like a leprous, looking up eagerly when he sees a woman. If it weren't for you being my sister, my son would have beaten your son to death long ago. gone."

Liu Xianyan was spit on, and wanted to argue angrily, but was stopped by her husband beside her.

"Sister, what you said is wrong. We also want to be a matchmaker with good intentions. If you don't want to, forget it. Why bother to slander my son like this.

Although that child is a little ignorant, but he is still young, and it is normal to be ignorant, so why do you have to speak so harshly? "

As soon as Yang Ci heard this, he immediately walked into the room angrily.He didn't want anyone to bully his mother, and he didn't care what happened, so he rushed into the room ferociously.

"What's so ugly? My mother is telling the truth. He's almost eighteen. Who's still a child at eighteen?"

The little uncle didn't reply immediately after hearing the words, but stared at Yang Ci's face again and again, as if seeing Yang Ci for the first time.

It was the aunt next to him who pushed him, and he frowned as if he had suddenly come to his senses: "We adults are talking, why are you kidding in the fun?"

Yang Ci was not afraid that the other party would rely on the old to sell the old. Just as he had thought up a lot of words and wanted to go back, he heard a familiar voice from outside. "What if I want to join in the fun?"

As soon as Yang Ci heard this voice, he was overjoyed, and immediately turned into a good baby, turned around and ran outside, and saw Yang Guoyou walking in in a military uniform.

Yang Guoyou saw rice grains still hanging from the corner of Yang Ci's mouth, took off his hat and put it on Yang Ci's head, and walked into the room with a serious face.

With Yang Ci, the second brother came to support him, he didn't worry about his mother being bullied immediately, and he was even in the mood to take his own job and lie at the door of the room to watch a good show inside.

At this time, Yang Ci felt for the first time, what is the feeling of a salted fish hugging his thigh, and also understood what is a fox pretending to be a tiger?

Now he is suddenly very fortunate that he saved his second brother so desperately back then, otherwise the Yang family would have known what would have happened.

Ever since Yang Guoyou entered, the atmosphere at the dinner table has changed.No one thought that Yang Guoyou would come over at this time.

Yang Guoyou is such a busy person, he only has thirty and the first day of the holidays, and he will go to work on the second day of the new year.He was busy at this time in previous years, so he never came to his grandfather's house in the second year of junior high school.

While unbuttoning his collar, Yang Guoyou raised his eyelids and asked, "Why didn't you say anything? What did little uncle say just now?"
