The weather was indeed cold. Although she was wearing thick clothes, Ru Feng still felt a little bit cold, and her hands and feet were so numb that she couldn't control her movements. It was a dark night and she couldn't see her fingers, and she couldn't see the road under her feet at all.

Ru Feng stumbled, fell and got up again. If Wu Yunlei hadn't come over to pull her, she might have stumbled more. But it was okay, it was very energy-consuming. Ru Feng felt a little warmer, and her limbs were not so stiff.

The pace of walking is also faster.

The three of them never took a bus again, and just walked straight into Qichagou. The village was quiet, with almost no lights. Only the occasional barking of dogs added some life to the village.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and it shouldn’t be like this. Especially those big households should light lanterns in their yards at this time to welcome the Chinese New Year lively.

"This village is not big. There are only forty or fifty households, and there are no big and prominent households. It is quite peaceful and quiet. We will stay in this village tonight. It is very safe."

The third brother Wu Yunlei seemed to have guessed what Ru Feng was thinking, and explained to Ru Feng as he walked. Ru Feng didn't say much, but just said that he would follow the arrangements of his two brothers.

When I came to the middle of the village, I walked into a family. It didn't look like a big family. It didn't have a very high courtyard wall, and it was surrounded by a three-room mud-thatched house. But it seemed that this family was living a pretty good life.

.

After asking to open the door and parking the car in the yard, Ru Feng was let into the house. It seemed that the two senior brothers were very familiar with the owner of the house, and their tone of conversation was not very foreign.

"First Young Master, Third Young Master, are you hungry? Ask your sister-in-law to give you something to eat. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. We brothers will have a few drinks. I'm afraid we won't meet again until next year."

The man who spoke was about forty years old, and his dark and red face showed his boldness. His wife had already dressed and went to the ground, lit the pot and was really getting ready to cook. This woman didn't speak much, but she revealed her boldness.

honest.

"Don't keep sister-in-law busy. What are we going to eat in the middle of the night? Let's drink a few sips of hot water to warm ourselves up and go to bed quickly. We have to be on the road tomorrow."

Zhu Tieshi didn't agree to eat, so he pulled Ru Feng over and introduced him to the new family.

"This is my sister Ru Feng, it's the 14th day of the Chinese New Year. This is Brother Xiao, Xiao Letian, our kowtow brothers. This is my sister-in-law, a good old lady, we are all part of the same family.

They live with their four children, two boys and two girls, the eldest is a boy, he is fifteen this year. Sister Ru Feng is very cold along the way, so she should rest early."

"It's so hard to come here, why don't you take a few sips? Everything is ready-made for your sister-in-law to warm up. The Chinese New Year is coming soon, so you can't just leave with empty words. Wouldn't it embarrass my eldest brother if word spread?

This is the first time for Miss Rufeng to come here. If she really doesn’t want to eat, I won’t force her to sleep with the girls, and we’ll go to the boys’ room to eat and chat. Old lady, be careful, I’m a quick-tongued person.”

Xiao Letian said and pulled Zhu Tieshi and Wu Yunlei to the west room, leaving Ru Feng in the east room. Xiao Letian's two daughters, who had just woken up from sleeping on the kang, stared blankly at Ru Feng who was still standing on the ground.

, I don’t know what to call them. It looks like one is seven or eight years old, and the other is three or four years old.

"Big sister, please go to the kang and have a rest first. The two brothers will never stop bumping into each other. Don't worry about them. You have a rest first. I'll call you later when we have dinner."

Xiao Letian's wife put Ru Feng on the kang, poured her a glass of water, and told her to rest first while she wanted to go out to cook. Ru Feng said she wasn't hungry, didn't want to eat, and wanted to sleep.

Sister-in-law Xiao didn't force her, so she was busy making a quilt for Ru Feng so that she could sleep and rest.

"If you don't want to eat, don't eat. Then go to sleep first. My sister-in-law will spread the quilt for you. Did you freeze along the way? Take off your clothes and go to sleep. It's still warm on the bed. I'll warm it up later.

What are you two little girls doing standing around? Make room for your sister-in-law and sleep with her first. Mom will finish cooking and then come in with you. Sister, you can go to bed first. My sister-in-law goes out to cook for them. I don’t know what they are.

When are you going to drink?"

Sister-in-law Xiao quickly laid out the quilt, made Ru Feng and the others lie down, and then went to the outer room to cook.

Ru Feng slept with the two children. Although they were still a little unfamiliar, it was much more comfortable to lie on the hot Tukang and her body was warmed up.

Hearing the clatter of pots and pans in the outhouse, and smelling the aroma of the food floating into the house, Ru Feng felt the warmth of home again, her body and mind became more and more relaxed, and she fell asleep in a daze.

She didn't get up from the kang until daybreak. Sister-in-law Xiao brought warm water for Ru Feng to wash her face. The intimacy was like that of her own sister, which made Ru Feng feel warm in her heart.

"The three brothers didn't sleep all night. They drank and chatted and took a nap until dawn. My sister-in-law has already prepared the meal. After my sister washed her face, she went to that room to eat. My sister-in-law will go over and take them there now.

Scream."

Sister-in-law Xiao asked her eldest daughter to fold the quilt, then walked out of the house and called the men in the west room to eat.

Ru Feng slowly washed her face and combed her hair, and then helped Xiao Letian's two daughters wash and dress up before leading them to the West Room for breakfast.

The dinner table has been set. Although it is breakfast, it is not very simple. There is porridge, rice, dry food, and two good dishes. It seems that Sister-in-law Xiao did not sleep well all night.

Xiao Letian dined with Ru Feng and the other three, while his sister-in-law was waiting on them, while the four children were driven to the east room by Xiao Letian's elder brother. They were not allowed to serve when guests came. This was the rule.

After dinner, Zhu Tieshi led Wu Yunlei and Ru Feng out of Brother Xiao Letian's house. Of course, they gave a polite farewell and farewell, and said some affectionate words.

Brother Xiao Letian also brought a bag of steamed sticky bean buns to Zhu Tieshi and the others, while Zhu Tieshi and the others left some fried twists brought by Mother Qiao to the children of Brother Xiao Letian's family.

The carriage did not return along the original route. Instead, it followed the route given by Brother Xiao Letian, taking a shortcut and bypassing three beams before turning onto the main road.

After walking less than ten miles, the road is quite easy to walk, but in summer this road is a bit impracticable. There are muddy ditches and ponds everywhere, making it impossible to walk.

After walking from the main road to Erdaoliang, it is not far from Hanjiapuzi. Of course, this road in Ru Feng's memory is still vague, but Brother Zhu Tieshi and the others are very familiar with it.

After walking for another ten miles and descending the main road for more than six miles, we arrived at Hanjiapuzi.

The closer I get to home, the more I want to get home as soon as possible. Rufeng's heart feels like grass has grown, and she still feels some inexplicable nervousness. I wonder what her mother, grandma, younger brother, and uncle are like now? The first sentence after meeting

What should I say?

How should the relatives at home be surprised when Ru Feng suddenly comes back? Will her mother and grandma run up to hug her? Should she cry or laugh? Ru Feng is having some random thoughts.

It was estimated that they were not far from home, and Ru Feng had already become a little restless. She simply knelt on the car, looked in the direction of home, and urged Zhu Tieshi to hit the horse and run faster.

Although my impression of my hometown is still vague, and I can’t remember what the village where I live is like or how to get there? But this does not weaken the desire to go home at all, let alone the longing for my relatives.

The images of mother and grandma will always be fresh in Ru Feng's mind, engraved in her mind, and will never be erased by time. The home she once lived in is also three-dimensional and imprinted in her mind.

Forgot, even though Ru Feng was only five years old at that time.

Walking into Hanjiabaozi, Ru Feng actually stood up from the car, looked around for the home in her memory, and directed Zhu Tieshi to drive towards the direction that might be her own home.

At this time, Ru Feng was still a little confused, but she was even more impatient. She wanted to throw herself into her mother's arms. She hadn't seen her mother in nearly nine years!

It was the morning of the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, less than three days before the New Year, and the joy of the New Year was already faintly wafting through the countryside. Even people walking on the road greeted each other affectionately, showing their happiness.

The Chinese New Year is the most important festival for farm families. Joy and celebration fill every corner inside and outside the house, and are written on the faces of every adult and child.

"That's my home, yes, it's really my home!"

Ru Feng was so happy that she jumped up in the car. If Wu Yunlei hadn't stopped her, she would have jumped out of the car and ran over.
Chapter completed!
