Through 1979

When Li Ran and the others were at the train station, the Li family was busy and busy.The fourth brother and fifth sister diligently cleaned the room, arranged tables and chairs, and strived for a beautiful environment.Huzi sat in Father Li's arms and played with toys. He is now eight years old, well-raised, fat and tiger-headed, looking very lovable.Hu's mother and Li's mother were cooking in the kitchen. From time to time, she asked the fourth brother to go to the door to see if the servants came back.

After the fourth brother ran countless times, Mrs. Li made a rescue and put the green vegetables into the pot. She persuaded the two elders next to her: "It will be there later, don't worry." Li Ma nodded, her words were agreed, People still kept looking at the door.

Father Li and Father Hu were sitting chatting in the living room, while Big Brother Li was sitting beside him. You have to come back." Teasing the tiger in Father Li's arms, he continued: "Don't keep this expression on, it will scare them."

Father Li sucked on his cigarette and remained silent.The family is rich and can afford a pack of cigarettes, but he still likes to use a tobacco rod to smoke shredded cigarettes, which are full of flavor.

Seeing him like this, Father Hu sighed: "Third sister is a temper tantrum, it's rare to come back, and she brought her husband and son with her, if you do this again, wouldn't you drive her away?"

Father Li curled his lips: "According to what you said, if the daughter and father challenge each other, father still has to give in?" Father Hu looked at his stubborn face, shook his head, and stopped talking.The mouth of a dead duck is so hard that it cannot be pried open.

Putting the luggage at the door, Li Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and Fifth Sister was not much better.Li Ran injured her hand, so she had a lot to mention. Of course, Hu Jianjun was the worst.After panting for breath, Fifth Sister regretted, "I should have asked my parents to pick me up, I shouldn't be a good boy." Li Ran smiled helplessly and began to knock on the door.

After a meeting, the door opened. It was the fourth brother. Seeing them, he called out happily: "Mom, you're back." There were hurried footsteps in the room, and then Li Ma's figure appeared at the door , Fifth Sister came back from the last winter vacation, but Li Ran hadn't seen him for more than a year. Seeing this, Li Ma quickly pulled him to her side and looked at him carefully.

The cloth on her hand caught her attention: "What's wrong with your hand?"

"I accidentally burned myself while fetching water. It's healed now, don't worry, Mom." Li Ran signaled that he was fine.

Seeing that it was all right, Mama Li was relieved, with tears in her eyes, Mama Li said: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back." After saying these two sentences, she suddenly knocked on Li Ran's forehead again: "New Year's Eve If you don't come back, you bastard, you really have no conscience, and you completely forgot about your family." Li Ran looked at Li Ma, and saw that she hadn't changed much in the past year, he breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew he was ashamed, he quickly showed a flattering smile , Come to the front to beg for mercy.Afterwards, Fifth Sister was also carefully sized up. After Mama Hu had finished watching Hu Jianjun, the group entered the house according to Mrs. Li's instructions.

After entering, Li Ran was sized up as usual, and Li Ran noticed a family of three standing next to Father Li.Sensing Li Ran's gaze, Father Li casually pointed to the side: "Your third sister, third brother-in-law, and your third brother-in-law's son."

Li Ran nodded to them, noticing what Father Li said, the son of the third brother-in-law.Qi Hui, who was standing next to the third sister, looked at Li Ran in disbelief, noticing his hands wrapped in cloth, a trace of uneasiness flashed across his face.

The third sister pulled him over, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes: "I took care of Liu'er when he was a child." Li Ran smiled, and followed the third sister to touch his head.

Seeing Li Ran looking at Qi Hui from time to time, Hu Jianjun asked, "Do you know him?" Li Ran moved his right hand, thought about the identity of the boy, and finally shook his head: "I haven't seen it before." After speaking, he ran to hug the tiger.Huzi held the toy and glanced at Brother Li, the meaning in his eyes was obvious: Can he hug him?We haven't seen each other for nearly five years, so it's hard to avoid being unfamiliar.

After the reunion dinner, Li Ran and Hu Jianjun pulled the fourth brother to the side to ask.The eldest brother and the second sister's children are still young, but the third sister's child is as old as Li Ran.

Blinking, the fourth brother saw no one around, so he spoke.As Li Ran expected, the young Qi Hui was not the third sister's biological son, but a stepson.The fourth brother glanced at the third sister, "Although it is not his own, the third sister is very kind to him, and he respects the third sister, it seems that the relationship is good." Li Ran touched the wound on his hand, a little tangled, no Thinking of the new relatives is a grudge.

Hu Jianjun noticed that his movements were strange: "Why do you always touch your hands when you get home? Could it be itching?" He took Li Ran's hand, but there was a cloth and he couldn't see anything.

"Not itchy." Shaking his head, Li Ran hurried back.Thinking of Hu Jianjun's temperament, Li Ran planned to keep it a secret, but he forgot that there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Hu Jianjun has always remembered Li Ran's strange expression when he first saw Qi Hui.And after Qi Hui stayed at home for a while, Hu Jianjun found out from the third sister that they were on the same train, and it was just because they had few things that they came early.Squinting his eyes, Hu Jianjun had a guess in his mind.

After thinking that Qi Hui might be the culprit for Li Ran's hand injury, Hu Jianjun immediately took a bad look at him.The fourth brother was called, and Hu Jianjun told the reason why Li Ran's hand was injured. The fourth brother was very angry, and then the two secretly discussed for a while, and finally the fourth brother came forward and found a reason to deceive Qi Hui outside. lesson.Of course, Hu Jianjun also had some blood, and the fourth brother was very curious about what he brought back from Beijing.

Qi Hui followed his mother's wishes and went out with his fourth brother dressed thickly.Hu Jianjun had been waiting for them in an open field near his home. It snowed the day before yesterday, so the surrounding area was completely white.Staring straight at Qi Hui, Hu Jianjun asked with a smile, "Have you ever had a snowball fight?"

Qi Hui frowned, he grew so big, if he had never had a snowball fight, it would be a joke.Lifting his chin, Qi Hui has a bad temper, but now he is even more irritable because of the weather.Looking at Hu Jianjun, he said impatiently, "Of course I did." Turning back to his fourth brother, he asked, "You said you have something to do with me. What's the matter? It's freezing outside."

The fourth brother pointed at Hu Jianjun and remained silent.Hu Jianjun didn't reply to his words, just nodded and said, "It's good to have fought." Looking at Qi Hui, he continued: "But I want to make a snowman with you today, especially..."

Qi Hui frowned and interrupted: "I don't have time to build a snowman with you." After speaking, Hu Jianjun winked at the fourth brother who was standing aside, and then the two of them rushed forward like tigers.

Against the two of them, Qi Hui's strength is naturally useless.Screaming, he said, "What are you doing, what are you doing?" Patting his face, Hu Jianjun smiled kindly, "It's nothing, I just want to treat you as a snowman, you will like this game."

"Like a fart, get out." Qi Hui curled his lips in disdain for Hu Jianjun's words, then punched and kicked, his voice angrily said, "Building snowmen is a bitch's game, I liked it when I was young, but now I'm not interested at all. You two love Go play now, don't get involved with me, let alone think of me as that."

"Let us not get involved with you, but don't you like to get involved with others? Liu'er fetches water, and you can make his hands full of bubbles. The current matter is not up to you!"

Thinking of Li Ran's injury, Qi Hui's face flashed with embarrassment, he pursed his lips, and said, "I didn't do it on purpose, who knew he would pick up the water then." Hearing his own admission, Hu Jianjun confirmed that he hadn't guessed. Wrong, let the fourth brother take out the rope that he had prepared earlier, and the two of them worked together to tie him up amidst Qi Hui's yelling.Looking at Qi Hui who was tied up and unable to move, the two looked at each other with wicked smiles.

There are some children playing games in the open space. This kind of day is suffering for adults, but it is a happy day for them.Seeing Hu Jianjun and the others like this, they leaned over, looked at Qi Hui curiously, and then at them. One of the older children asked, "Big brother, what are you doing?"

The fourth brother put Qi Hui upright, held him still, and said to the child, "Play a game, let's make a snowman." Hu Jianjun went to the side to roll a snowball and pushed it over.After he put a snowball as high as Qi Hui's knee next to him, Qi Hui had a little fear on his face: "What are you doing, what do you want to do?" He struggled hard, but the rope made all his strength go away. In vain.Seeing that the children next to him were a little scared, the fourth brother comforted him: "This brother made a bet with us and lost to be a snowman, but later he refused. He is not a good boy who cheats, so we have to punish him. It's fun. , you are watching from the sidelines."

Curious, Mustache Men nodded.

Looking at the fourth brother in horror, Qi Hui reminded: "My mother is your sister." The fourth brother rubbed his nose and said, "The next one."

Qi Hui gritted his teeth: "But she treats me as a relative." The fourth brother smiled and believed in the third sister: "My sister will not be angry with us for you, and we will go and apologize to you at that time. He's a real man. Besides, don't worry." He patted Qi Hui on the head: "We will pay attention to it, and we will never let you in any danger, it's just cold."

After pushing a few more snowballs, Hu Jianjun sandwiched Qi Hui in the snowballs. After making sure that the kidnapped person could not jump, the fourth brother let go.The pair then worked on the snowman's upper body.Qi Hui never stopped talking from the beginning to the end. Although he was naughty, he didn't reach their level: "Let me go, let me go quickly." After speaking, his voice became louder and more desperate .

Hu Jianjun and Hu Jianjun were not satisfied until Qi Huizhen was piled up into a snowman with only his head showing.After clapping his hands, Hu Jianjun said, "It's so hot." In this cold weather, he literally made himself sweat all over.Seeing Qi Hui's poor appearance, he showed a big smile to the fourth brother: "Look, I'll call Liu'er to watch the snowman. Go early and come back early, lest someone will dismantle the snowman and Liu'er won't be able to see it. "After finishing speaking, he walked towards Li's house. Although this place is near Li's house, it is still a little far away.

The coldness came from all over his body, Qi Hui stayed in the snowdrift, only felt that the surroundings were wet, and his body was getting colder and colder.The fourth brother walked around idle and bored across the street, and occasionally came over to see how his face looked, so as not to cause any accidents to him.Grinning, the fourth brother said: "You will apologize to Liu'er deeply later."

Qi Hui looked at him, closed his eyes, bit his lips, didn't speak, and didn't ask for forgiveness, leaving fourth brother Tuliu staring at him with anger on his face.
