"Han Nian!"
She yelled, stumbling around in the mountain forest, looking for any footprints that might belong to Han Nian on the ground, but there were many people going up the mountain to look for the child, and no trace could be found at all.
Lin Xiangrong could only look around and keep shouting Han Nian's name. Because it was too dark and too slippery, his foot rolled into a ball and fell to a more remote place.
"hiss!"
She sat up and moved her ankle slightly. The pain caused Lin Xiangrong to take a breath. She shook her feet and rubbed her ankles with her hands. After much recovery, she got up with a sullen face, hugged her clothes and shouted Looking at Han Nian.
"W-want Rong?"
She didn't know how long she had been shouting, but a small voice interrupted her.
Han Nian carefully emerged from the grass, revealing a delicate face. Her black eyes washed by tears looked pitifully at Lin Xiangrong: "Is it really you?!"
She rushed out and hugged Lin Xiangrong, and said loudly with great surprise: "Are you really here to find me?"
"I didn't hide here on purpose. I can't find my way back." Han Nian said a lot before letting go of the little girl who was tightly held by her. She lowered her head and found that Lin Xiangrong had hair on her hair. There were only a few small branches and grass, the clothes were messy and muddy, and one foot seemed to be unable to walk with difficulty, as if it had fallen.
"Did you fall?"
"I'm fine. It's just that my ankle hurts a little. Your hands are so cold. I brought you some clothes. Put them on quickly." Seeing that Han Nian was fine and in good spirits, Lin Xiangrong breathed a sigh of relief and clumsily put on the clothes. The clothes were draped on her shoulders: "I'm sorry, I said I would take you back, but I accidentally lost you."
But luckily he's fine.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiangrong burst into laughter and said, "But you're okay, that's great!"
Han Nian was slightly startled. She didn't expect that Lin Xiangrong had been looking for her. She lowered her head, and hot tears fell on the face of the little girl who was shorter than her: "I'm sorry, I heard that Qi Rong wants you and her to be the best in the world." Good thing, I, I don’t know what to think, so I left and didn’t go back to find you, but went to pick mushrooms. When I came back to my senses, I no longer knew the way back.”
"But it's so nice of you to come to me!"
She burst into tears and smiled: "I know you will definitely come to me."
"I'm here to find you, so come home with me." Lin Xiangrong stretched out his hand and pulled Han Nian to limp down the mountain. When they reached the path, they met the three rich men who were chasing them. The two of them were caught together. San Fu gave him a hard lesson.
When the villagers who went up the mountain to look for someone heard that their children had been found, they dispersed and returned to their homes.
The next day, Lin Yuannan went door-to-door to bring Han Nian and Lin Xiangrong to Lu. On the way back, Lin Yuannan said earnestly: "Every child is the treasure of his parents. I don't want you to do it because of something." If something happens, go to a strange place alone to vent your anger."
The two little girls didn't say anything. They lowered their heads and secretly glanced at each other, then pursed their lips and smiled at each other.
After returning, Han Cui gave him a lesson. The sick Han Cui dragged her sick body to Lin Yuannan Road. She touched Han Nian's head and said, "It's good to come back."
They didn't stay with Lao Lin's family for long, and the next day they were picked up by Mrs. Wang and sent to a small rented shabby house. Although it was not very big and shabby and there were even mice running around, it was peaceful and peaceful, and Han Cui also I have been collecting shoe soles and making quilts and trousers for people to earn some money to support my family.
As for Han Nian, he was running around doing odd jobs to make money. After a long time, his life was quite enjoyable. Although Mrs. Wang and his family were arrogant every time they came over, they didn't mind it very much. I want to live a stable life.
Lin Xiangrong sometimes went to deliver some things, and sometimes he and Han Cui helped the villagers do some work to earn change. In his free time, he and Lu Xiao went to the town to set up stalls. By the end of the year, he had saved a lot of money.
"Hey, this should cost a few hundred yuan."
The money he earned had to be paid to his family as a subsidy. As a result, Lin Yuannan, who didn’t have much private money in his hands, stared at the pile of money his daughter put in the box and turned red with envy: “When will I be able to save so much?” Where’s the money?”
He rubbed his hands and added more firewood to the pit.
It snowed very early this year, and there had been several heavy snowfalls at the end of the year. When the temperature suddenly dropped, Lin Xiangrong was caught off guard and fell seriously ill again. After he recovered, he kept coughing, so they made the house extremely hot to prevent Lin Xiangrong from getting sick. Xiangrong caught cold and fell ill again.
"Dad has done a good job. It's not easy to save money."
This year's harvest is very poor. My family bought a lot of grain and meat from the town and stored it. I can live a good life by frugally until the Chinese New Year. After the Chinese New Year, the snow and ice will clear in the spring, and we can continue. Crops.
The old people all say that next year will definitely be a good harvest year, because the snow this year is so heavy that the door cannot be pushed open due to the deep snow, and a shovel is needed to push a way out before one can leave.
Rhubarb raised in the pig shed has not been able to play in the yard for a long time, and its energetic screams can often be heard.
Lin Yuannan smiled and tapped the tip of his daughter's nose. He secretly gave Lin Xiangrong a dollar: "No, I'll save the money at the bottom of the box. When the Chinese New Year is over, I'll give you another piece of lucky money."
He is not a stingy father. On the contrary, he treats his only daughter and will do his best to treat her well. Lin Yuannan thought that after it stopped snowing for a while, he took his daughter to the town to get the birth certificate opened, and then gave her identity. If the proof is well implemented, there will be no need to jump up and down in a hurry after two years of school.
"Dad is the best in the world!"
Lin Xiangrong yelled, took the money in his arms and kissed it, then put on a thick cotton jacket and ran to the front room in the front yard with the calico cat in his arms.
Fang Hongying, who is in charge today, is staring at the heavy snowfall outside with a frown on her face. Her family has just recovered from the financial pressure. After these heavy snowfalls, the family will probably be short of food again, and her own family does not have much food, so there is no way to support it. past.
As for Zhang Miao, who was holding her belly and sighing, she had a headache with her parents' family. As the quarrel between the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law became more and more serious, a good family was on the verge of being divided. Recently, there was a separation, so she thought that she would just break up. Going home is much better than going to jail as a family.
But a pair of old men disagreed.
I don’t know what they are worried about anymore.
"After the snow stopped in two days, the eldest brother and the second child went to the town to pick up Lili. Calculating the time, Lili gave birth after the Chinese New Year. It happened that the company gave her a vacation and she could come back home." Wang Cuilan from He walked out of the back room and said to Yuandong who was sharpening a kitchen knife: "When you, the elder brother, go to pick up Lili, remember to ask her if she has any thoughts about keeping the child at home."
"Raised at home?"
After hearing this, Yuandong was shocked, thinking that he would come to their house every three or four days to inquire about the situation. Liu Laosan, who was uneasy at first sight, immediately refused: "No, if this is brought to our home, who will take care of it?"
