There is little snow in the river, and some people have seen snow 4 or 5 times in their lifetime in the river. ()

In the winter of that year, it snowed in my small village.

There is no snow on the ground, but on the bamboo, trees, and grass, especially in the bamboo forest, the snow-white snow presses the emerald green bamboo, which is a unique style.

Holding the ceramic cup on the table, I lifted the lid of the cup, blew lightly, took a sip of the fragrant and sweet tea soup, and looked at the snow scene outside, which was extraordinarily leisurely in my heart.

"Sanwa'er, I want to ask, have you done your homework?"

Here it is again, here it is again, I put down the teacup, my eyes glared and said, "Uncle Hui, you don't want to play tricks again?" ”

"How can you (go and go), why are you fooling? Well, I kindly asked you! Also, call me the second uncle, not Uncle Hui. ”

Sitting across from me is Master Huijue, since my family moved to the county seat that year, he will come to live in our bamboo forest for one or two months every year, I don't know why?

This old monk, since I got acquainted with him, found that he and my master have the same temperament, lazy and delicious, I guess if he is not a monk, he will have to be as lustful as my master.

The two old men basically quarrel as soon as they meet, but the relationship is unusually good, and I conclude that they smell like each other.

No, this winter he came to eat and drink again, and when he was bored, he dragged me to play chess with him, and that chess hand was as bad as my master, but people should be the same as my master.

"I said Huijue, what do you mean by asking my apprentice to call you second uncle? Are you taking advantage of Lao Tzu? "The old man Jiang on the side is gone.

"Are you (silly)? The two of them are a gang, and they have to suppress him mentally. Hui Jue hurriedly said.

Old man Jiang thought for a while, and found that it made sense, so he stopped talking.

I put down the teacup and looked at the two old men a little speechlessly, one person couldn't win me in chess, so the two of them came up with a joint solution, but sometimes 1 plus 1 is not equal to 2, if the two of them play chess, it adds up to minus 1.

"I said, Master, Uncle Hui, have you discussed it? I've been waiting more than ten minutes for you to go. "I got up lazily and stretched, today Sunday, hurry up and finish this game of chess, go down the mountain before 10 o'clock in the morning, and catch the bus to the county seat at noon.

"Oops, I remembered, I had a trick yesterday, I have to hurry up and see today, if I catch anything, if it's late, I'll have to slip away if I catch something." After speaking, Old Man Jiang stood up and left Huijue very unrighteously.

Seeing that the old man Jiang slipped away, Hui Jue stood up angrily and anxiously, and was about to chase after the old man Jiang, I said a little funny: "Uncle Hui, do you want to slip away too?" ”

Compared with Old Man Jiang, this Hui Jue is slower to react, and he always doesn't run as fast as Old Man Jiang.

Huijue was stunned for a moment, stood still, blushed and said to me: "Children, what kind of chess to play, cut down (study), why don't you be sensible." After saying that, he looked angry and walked away with his hands behind his back.

I smiled helplessly, too lazy to bother with these two old men, turned around and went back to the house to clean up, then packed a coat and prepared to go to the county seat.

As soon as he walked to the bamboo forest, the old man Jiang, who had just run away without a shadow, came out again and shouted: "Sanwa'er, when will you come back?" ”

"I won't go back today, I will go directly to school tomorrow morning, and I won't be back until school tomorrow afternoon." I said a word, the footsteps went down the mountain lightly, fortunately, there is a car in the county town that drives to the countryside at 5 o'clock in the morning, which is the local folks to sell vegetables.

The snow was beautiful and the road was muddy, but for me, it was all the same, and I was used to it.

It should have been more than 7 years on the mountain, and after walking a few steps, I can vaguely see the shadow of my house at the foot of the mountain, just look at it from a distance, and you can find that the house has been a little dilapidated, think about it carefully, my parents have taken their two sisters to the county seat for more than 4 years, can that place not be dilapidated?

It is now the winter of 1982, and after this winter, I will be 15 years old.

When I arrived at the county seat, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and I saw my father picking me up at the station from a distance.

At that time, communication was not so convenient, and my dad couldn't figure out which weekend I would go to the county seat, so he would go to the station around 2 o'clock every weekend, because I usually took the train at 12 noon.

After getting out of the car, my dad looked at me and grinned, ran over quickly, and hugged me: "Sanwa'er, are you hungry?" I haven't been back for 2 weeks, guess you have to come back today, your mother made you a vegetarian pot at home, it's hot. ”

"Well, I'm hungry." I nodded, I swallowed saliva when I heard the vegetarian pot, I ate too much meat in the mountains, it was very greasy, I could eat it when I got home, I love to eat hot vegetables in winter, and my mother gave me a vegetarian pot that I invented.

"*** baby, it's quite edible, it's almost as tall as me." My dad hugged me, very happy, and habitually wanted to rub my head, but found that it was not so easy.

Since last year, my height has begun to surge, I am only 15 years old, and the old man Jiang gave me a measure on the mountain, and it was 1.74 meters.

As soon as I got home, my second sister who saw us from a distance on the balcony greeted me, looked at me, pursed her lips and smiled happily, wanted to hug me, and thought about being old, and finally patted me with the ashes on my clothes.

My mother didn't have any scruples, and as soon as she came out, she rubbed my face vigorously and said, "My son is back today." ”

"Mom, why isn't the commissary open today?" From afar, I saw that my commissary was not open today, so I asked strangely.

"We're doing a good business now! Your dad is still thinking about going to the most popular place in the county to open a store that sells clothes, and he has to go to Chengdu to buy goods. I figured you'd have to come back today. My mother was so happy that she had pulled me into the room and pressed me down to the table.

On the table, there is a pot of red and spicy soup base, surrounded by a number of cut vegetarian dishes, the soup base is my mother's own hot pot recipe, spicy and fragrant, but not hot at all.

As soon as I sat down, I was not polite, picked up the chopsticks, threw the potato slices and lotus root slices into the pot, and my second sister got up and filled a big bowl of hot rice, and I ate a big bite of the pickles soaked by my mother.

In this way, the three of them sat next to each other with a smile, watching me eat there alone, I was also used to this, while picking up a piece of hot potato chips, while eating, and asked: "Mom, will my eldest sister come back for the Chinese New Year this year?" ”

My eldest sister took the college entrance examination last year and was admitted to Beijing Medical College, my eldest sister's grades were really good, she was the top student in the college entrance examination last year, and her grades could go to Peking University, but she insisted on going to Beijing Medical College, which was her dream since childhood.

"Why don't you go back? I only received a letter from her the day before yesterday, saying that she would return early for the Spring Festival this year, and told you to wait for her to come back and leave after the Spring Festival. My mom laughed, but I noticed that her eyes were red.

I don't know if I can leave after the Spring Festival, but I can clearly feel that the atmosphere at home has changed all of a sudden, and as the 15-year-old agreement is getting closer and closer, this matter has now almost become the last thing in my family to mention.

I didn't want to talk about this, so I hurriedly buried my head in a few big mouthfuls of rice and put it in my mouth, and pretended to ask vaguely: "Second sister, you will take the college entrance examination in two years, what school are you going to go to?" ”

The second sister's grades are also very good, not much worse than the eldest sister, and I am also quite concerned about where she can go to the exam, it is best in Beijing, the three of us sisters and brothers can still get together, and the old man Jiang means to take me to Beijing first.

"I'm not decided, I like liberal arts, so I'll be admitted to a school in Beijing when the time comes." Obviously, the second sister's mind is the same as mine, and everyone in my family knows that I have to go to Beijing first after I am 15 years old.

I don't know what the situation is after I go, what I have to do, but my parents are always at ease when my two sisters can be in Beijing.

"Look at you, don't talk about these things, that's the life of our three children! He's got to do a big thing. "My dad lit a cigarette and said something to my mom.

"Also, now that the family is living a better life, it is better than in the county, and it is all at a good level, thanks to Master Jiang, the third baby is actually a blessing to follow him." My mother is just easy to be sentimental, and she sheds tears on the one hand, and she is reluctant, but she encourages me at the same time.

I buried my head in eating, I couldn't say what it was like in my heart, and four and a half years ago, the dusk when my family moved resurfaced in my heart, I desperately didn't think about it, and I talked a few times before I diverted my attention.

Before I knew it, I had eaten three bowls of rice, and my second sister sighed: "Brother, you can really eat, you have to eat a small pot of rice every time." ”

"Second sister, you don't understand, cultivators consume a lot and need a lot, this is not much to eat, where can I replenish it?" I simply said, in fact, this reason is complicated, one of them is involved in cultivation, martial arts, and the money spent on food is like running water.

I always suspect that Old Man Jiang likes to live in the mountains in order to hunt game and save money on food.

"Yes, yes, my brother is now a cultivator, but not us ordinary people, I think in two years, he will be able to achieve positive results." When my second sister smiled, there was a deep dimple on her face.

I was quite humble and said, "Zhengguo, that's still early." Don't dare to think, don't dare to think. ”

"It can really become a positive fruit and cultivate a real rice bucket. Haha" My second sister was happy, I put down the chopsticks and pinched her face, and the sister and brother made a mess.

My dad looked at it with a smile, but my mom patted her thigh and said, "In that case, there must be a person in the countryside who is also practicing." ”

When my mom said this, I was stunned.
