It was already very late at night, and the sky above the village occasionally flashed with bright lights, followed by three or two dull sounds, telling people that the New Year would be tomorrow. Snow fell silently from the sky, turning fields and villages white. Caiyun was lying on the kang, turning over and couldn't close his eyes. Before going to bed, my father and younger brother Xin Xing sprinkled sesame stalks all over the yard, which was exquisite. One is that the sesame seeds are blooming high, and the sesame stalks are scattered all over the yard, indicating that the next year's days will be better than this year; Another theory is that some things that people don't want to say explicitly wander around on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the sesame stalks can make a rattling sound when touched to ward off evil things. Caiyun doesn't have much hope for what life will be next year, and since the start of the campaign, food has not been abundant with passionate slogans, and the village has become poorer and poorer. This made the girls bid farewell to the village and marry other villages, and there were more and more young men who beat singles. It is Huang Xiaomu, who is extremely casual like his father Huang Fugui, who uses his power and shamelessly does things that lack yin and morality. Caiyun looked forward to the sound of the sesame stalks in the courtyard, she didn't believe that there was any ghost Chinese New Year's Eve to dislike people, she thought, if there was movement in the courtyard, it must be him. He's gone, he's fled, he's been on the run for more than a month. That night, she resolutely threw herself into his arms and became husband and wife. She remembered that his arms were so warm, his chest was so wide, his heart was beating so fiercely, he hugged himself tightly, and the two of them were about to melt together. Huang Xiaomu tried his best to spread rumors and slander, and escorted Tie Liang to the commune joint defense team, and under the severe torture of the joint defense team, Tie Liang looked for an opportunity to escape. Where did he flee? On this snowy Chinese New Year's Eve, where is his safe place? It's so cold, he doesn't even have a cotton coat on him, will he curl up in the farmer's firewood and grass at this time, shivering and waiting for tomorrow's sun? Tie Liang, if you can't do it, you can come back! We will suffer together, and we will suffer together!
Caiyun thought about it and closed her eyes in a daze. Suddenly, she heard the sound of the sesame stalk in the yard, she immediately sat up, grabbed the glass of the window and looked out, and found that there was a person outside the window who was also looking into the house, and she was overjoyed, it was an iron beam! She hurriedly put on her clothes, slipped off the kang, opened the door, and threw herself into Tie Liang's arms, tears of excitement flowed down her face.
"You're back, I miss you! Look at you all over the cold and cold, quick, quickly get into the bed, warm in the bed! Caiyun undressed Tie Liang and served him into the warm bed.
"It's been almost two months, where have you been, I'm worried about you every day, but I'm worried about death!" Caiyun snuggled in Tie Liang's arms, touching his unkempt hair, "If you don't get a letter, you must have suffered a lot, right?" "
Tie Liang hugged Caiyun tightly in his arms and said, "Wandering around, there is no fixed place to live, besides, writing letters is afraid of causing trouble, Huang Xiaomu is insidious and vicious, he will not give up so well!" "
"Don't be afraid of him! I won't leave when I'm back! Caiyun said, "Let's die together, see what he can do to us!" "
"Yun, why don't I want to be with you!" Tie Liang said, "We are facing more than one Huang Xiaomu, our temporary separation is for the sake of the future ...... forever."
"You're leaving?" Caiyun asked.
"Is there room for us here?" Tie Liang sighed.
The sound of crackling firecrackers woke up Caiyun's Nan Ke Yimeng, she opened her eyes and looked in the house, where was there any trace of iron beams? She sat up and looked at the yard, where the snow had stopped at some point, and the thick snow in the yard glowed white in the hazy night. There are more firecrackers in the distance and near places, and the new year has begun! There was a knock on the door, and Dad got up and was clearing the snow in the yard. Caiyun hurriedly put on his clothes, slipped off the kang, and picked up a broom from behind the door.
"Yun, you're swept away, it's a cold day, you go to the house!" Changshan said to Caiyun.
"It's okay, Dad, aren't you cold too?" Caiyun had just swept a few times, and a wave of nausea came up, followed by retching.
Caiyun Niang hurriedly carried her back into the house.
"Is there one?" Caiyun Niang asked, "What's the moon like?" "
Caiyun blushed, lowered his head and said, "I haven't been here since I was with him." "
"Well, there is, yes, yes, yes!" Caiyun Niang thought for a while and said, "Yun, do you want this child?" "
Caiyun raised her head and looked at her mother in surprise, "Mother, what do you mean by this?" "
"I, I mean, I mean......" Caiyun Niang said, "I mean I didn't marry or marry, the eldest girl puffed out her belly and made people laugh." Alas, it is better not to suffer this sin then than not to ......"
"Mother, what are you talking about!" Caiyun said, "Tie Liang and I are registered and licensed, whether we worship heaven and earth or not, the law recognizes us as legal husband and wife, marriage and childbirth, it is natural, what are you afraid of jokes!" I'm not stealing people to raise men, I'm just and bright, who wants to say it, who says it! This kid is Tie Liang and my blood, why don't I? Want! Resolutely! "
On the morning of the first day of the new year, when Changshan came home from a visit to the New Year, Caiyun Niang pulled him into the door and whispered to him about Caiyun's pregnancy.
"Dad, I didn't dare to be happy when I learned about it in the morning, but I was afraid." Caiyun Niang said, "Do you remember the incident in Lijiafang Village the year before last, the landlord's son fell in love with the poor peasant's daughter and had a big belly, and Director Yan of the commune said that this was the landlord class's counterattack against the poor middle peasants. I'm just afraid that this disaster will come to our two children, Huang Xiaomu's bitch is not a thing, and what kind of stinging eyes can also be made, his father, what do you say? I'm so sad! "
"Huang Xiaomu, if he dares to make a mistake, I will shovel him with an iron shovel!" Changshan said, "I don't believe that this world belongs to him!" "
Seven or eight days have passed, and the snow on the ground has almost melted. On this day, a strange guest came to Changshan's house, and he introduced himself as Tie Liang's buddy when he was in middle school, and in order not to cause trouble, Tie Liang asked him to pass on Caiyun's letter.
When the guest left, Caiyun hurriedly opened Tie Liang's letter and looked at it, his face full of excitement and joy.
"Dad, mother, Tie Liang has settled down in the Northeast Forestry Brigade!" Caiyun said excitedly, "He is very good there, he has a job, he has a salary, although he is hard, but there is no struggle, there is no disdain, so let's not worry about him." "
"It's good, there is a place to stay, there is a bowl of rice to eat, thank God!" Caiyun Niang clasped her hands together.
"Dad, mother, I have an idea, I want to go there too!" Caiyun said.
"What? Are you going too? Caiyun Niang said in surprise.
Changshan pondered for a while and said, "Go, go, go and meet him!" He said to Caiyun Niang again, "Aren't you worried about Huang Xiaomu and them?" Leaving this place, he can't toss it even if he has great ability! Besides, two people are so affectionate, it's not a matter to divide it like this! "
Two days later, in the middle of the night, Changshan and Xin Xing quietly sent Caiyun on the train to the northeast, watching her daughter's figure drown in the night, Caiyun Niang whimpered and couldn't straighten her waist.
