After a heavy snowfall, the weather was surprisingly good. The sun shone for three consecutive days, and the snow melted rapidly. Looking around, there was only a small amount of residual snow on the top of the mountain in the distance.
Lin Xiao could never let go of Banpo Village after the heavy snowfall. He went to the hospital to take a look at Nie Chunlan, and then took the shuttle bus back to Nanyang Township.
When Lin Xiao got off the bus, the first thing he saw was a woman selling pancakes at the street entrance.
On a sunny day after a heavy snowfall, the sun is very bright, but it is actually very cold. This coldness is as cold as bone.
Since there was no business, the woman's headscarf covered most of her face, and she sat huddled on a small stool.
The thick cotton jacket and trousers made her body look a bit bloated, but it was obvious that she was still cold.
"Xia Yuhe!"
Lin Xiao walked up to the woman and shouted softly.
The woman was slightly startled and quickly raised her head.
In fact, Lin Xiao recognized Xia Yuhe as soon as she got out of the car because she had a blue patch on her headscarf.
"Oh! You're back...
How is that man in your village? "
Xia Yuhe looked extremely embarrassed. She slowly stood up as she spoke.
Lin Xiao smiled slightly and said: "I have been rescued. The doctor said that I should be able to recover after staying for half a month.
Ah! Thanks to you that day, I didn’t even say thank you. "
Xia Yuhe shook his head and said, "It's nothing. You helped me a lot. I..."
"Okay, let's stop thanking each other. How do you do this? It's not the twelfth lunar month yet, and there are few people going to the market, so business will naturally be bad."
Lin Xiao interrupted Xia Yuhe as soon as the topic changed.
Xia Yuhe sighed and said, "I can't do it if I don't do it! It doesn't matter to me that Su Quanquan is away from home every day. The key is the children.
I went out that day to buy cold medicine for my child, and I didn’t expect to run into you. "
Xia Yuhe said, lowering his head in embarrassment.
Just at this moment, a strong wind blew, causing the ashes in the small stove next to Xia Yuhe to fly everywhere.
Lin Xiao couldn't stand it anymore and said softly: "Take it back!"
"It hasn't been open for a day, so I want to wait."
Xia Yuhe's voice was very low, and she could tell that she was extremely helpless.
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then he suddenly bent down and started to help Xia Yuhe pack things.
Then I took up the burden of selling pancakes. Only then did I realize that a small iron stove plus iron pots and other messy things were not a light burden.
Lin Xiao never expected that Xia Yuhe, who was so cute when she was in school, could be forced to exert so much energy under the pressure of life.
Under the leadership of Xia Yuhe, Lin Xiao followed her into a small courtyard.
There are three low adobe and tile-roofed houses, and the yard is bare, with not even any extra firewood.
After entering the house, Lin Xiao put down his burden and took a look. To describe the house as bare walls is not an exaggeration at all.
"Su Quanquan didn't study well and couldn't get along with his parents, so he was kicked out."
Xia Yuhe whispered, and she asked Lin Xiao to sit down on the edge of the Kang.
"Wait a minute and I'll boil some water for you."
When Xia Yuhe saw Lin Xiao sitting down, she hurriedly turned around and went to the kitchen next door.
Lin Xiao quickly took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket. He took out two ten-yuan bills, threw them on the kang, and then tiptoed out of the small courtyard.
Rampantly walking all the way, Lin Xiao passed through the deserted streets of Nanyang. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he stopped and took a breath.
Lin Xiao really didn't expect that the female classmate he hadn't seen for many years would have such a difficult life.
He raised his head, took a long breath, and then began to climb toward the top of the mountain.
When the sun was about to set, Lin Xiao quickly entered Banpo Village.
"You're back? Go home quickly! Someone seems to be coming to your house."
Meeting Aunt Zhang in the same alley, she said in a panic.
Lin Xiao responded and quickly quickened his pace.
After jogging through the village and arriving at the entrance of the alley, Lin Xiao saw an old jeep parked there.
Lin Xiao felt something was wrong, so he rushed into his courtyard like crazy.
There were two policemen standing in the yard, as well as two men wearing Chinese tunic uniforms, but the person leading them was a fat pig.
"Brother! You are back, they are going to arrest you."
As soon as her sister Lin Qian saw Lin Xiao, she ran out of the house.
Lin Xiao glanced at these people and asked Lin Qian: "Who are they going to arrest?"
"You are Lin Xiao! Now that you are back, then you come with us."
The middle-aged man wearing Chinese tunic uniform said coldly.
Lin Xiao smiled coldly and said, "Who are you? Why do you want to arrest me?"
"Oh! My surname is Huang, and I am the new resident cadre in Banpo Village.
You ignored the law and dared to break the door lock of the village committee office. You must accept legal punishment. "
The man named Huang raised his neck and said a little arrogantly.
When Lin Xiao heard this, the fire in his heart came out, and he roared angrily: "Fat pig! What is going on? Don't you know?"
"You also know that I am just a squad leader. I am here to lead the way. As for why I arrested you, I don't know at all."
The fat pig is very cunning. He took off all his clothes in just a few words.
At this time, Lin Xiao's father Lin Mingsheng came out and said loudly: "I'll go with you!"
"No need. Your son was not here just now, so we really had to take you away. Now that your son is back, we can just take him away."
The man surnamed Huang said to Lin Mingsheng a little impatiently.
When Lin Xiao heard this, he was so angry that he sneered and said: "What? You have to take my dad away when I'm not here? Which legal provision is this?
Also, have you investigated why I broke the door lock of the village committee? "
Lin Xiao stepped forward, glared at the man named Huang and asked coldly.
The man surnamed Huang laughed and said: "Lin Xiao! Keep your eyes open. I am not the cadre stationed in the village before. If you are not honest, you will suffer big losses."
"Don't do this. I'm telling you clearly that you have no right to arrest people at will. You have to pay the price for your misdeeds today."
Lin Xiao was not afraid at all, he stared at the man named Huang and said coldly.
A ferocious smile appeared on the face of the man named Huang.
"Take him away and handcuff him if he's not honest."
As soon as the man surnamed Huang finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of chaotic footsteps, and then Xia Huzi and twenty or thirty young men poured into the small courtyard.
Behind these young people were some middle-aged people in the village and even a few old men.
"Why are you arresting this person? Is it wrong that he broke the door lock of the village committee office to save the five-guarantee households? If Liu Futang could open the office in time, would there be any need to break the lock?"
Xia Huzi puffed out his chest and said loudly.
The man surnamed Huang became nervous now. He asked with a frightened look on his face: "What do you want to do?"
