On the 16th day of the 12th lunar month, Zhang Shicai and Ma Yinxiu came back from Guangdong and bought a lot of things.

Meiziao Primary School has been on holiday, so mute ran to the gardening field to tell Zhang Yaohua about this.

"Beggar, beggar, one-eyed dragon is back! One-eyed dragon is back!" The mute started shouting before he entered the gardening field. Zhang Shicai broke his eyes because of the firecracker that time, but he didn't expect that the shit in the village had called him a one-eyed dragon.

"Muzi, you're shouting and screaming, be careful I'll beat you!" Zhang Jiaohua had heard that these little kids called Zhang Shicai's nickname. Zhang Jiaohua's family is close to Zhang Shicai's family, and Zhang Youping and Zhang Shicai have a very good relationship. Before, Zhang Jiaohua was closer to Zhang Shicai than to Zhang Youlian. It was this year that Zhang Jiaohua gradually became closer to Zhang Youlian, uncle.

The mute grabbed his head and I shouted, "Yes, it was the Zhang Shicai and his wife who came back. They brought a lot of delicious food. Lagen and the others went to Zhang Shicai's house. Zhang Shicai dispersed a lot of paper candy, all of which were from Guangdong. They were covered with gold paper (gold foil)."

Zhang Yaohua was stunned. Zhang Shicai and his wife were back. Why didn’t his parents come back yet? He suddenly had a bad premonition. His parents might not come back this year. Since their parents got in the car and left, they have been looking forward to their parents coming back every day. Who knew that in the end, they would get news that their parents would not come back. How could Zhang Yaohua accept this? However, Zhang Yaohua quickly overturned his own concerns. His parents were not in the same factory as Zhang Shicai and his wife, and maybe the holiday time was different. Zhang Shicai and the others came back first, and their parents might come back soon, after all, there are only more than ten days before the New Year. Parents would never let themselves spend the New Year alone at home.

Zhang Yuanbao was afraid of the cold, so after breakfast, he kept huddling in the fire cabinet in the room to watch TV. When he heard that Zhang Shicai was back, he brought back a lot of candy, and immediately felt that it was not so cold. He quickly lifted the cover and jumped out of the fire cabinet, "Dumb, do you think Zhang Shicai and his wife are back? Why haven't I seen him back with me when I went to Guangdong with them?"

"Then I don't know." The mute grabbed his head.

"Beggar, then let's ask Zhang Shicai. Let's see when Uncle Man Man and his wife will go home." Zhang Yuanbao pulled Zhang Beggar and was about to leave.

"Yuanbao, you haven't changed your shoes yet. If you get the cloth shoes wet, I won't beat you to death." Zhang Youlian said loudly. Zhang Youlian was actually listening with his ears on his side. He heard that Zhang Shicai was back, and he also blamed his younger brother, sister-in-law (sister-law) in his heart. Everyone knows that he has come back, and he doesn't want to come back early. Zhang Youlian can see that, although Zhang Yaohua doesn't say anything, he actually thinks of his parents more than anyone else. If Youping and Qiaoye don't go home during the Chinese New Year, Zhang Youlian really doesn't know how sad the beggar will be. Zhang Youlian doesn't want Yuanbao and beggar to go to Zhang Shicai's house. If you get any bad news, Zhang Youlian really doesn't know what Zhang Yaohua will be like.

Zhang Yuanbao hurriedly ran to change his boots, "Beggar, why haven't you changed your shoes?"

"I won't go. Anyway, my parents will go home soon. He will definitely bring me a lot of candy." Zhang Jiaohua wanted to avoid some reality that he was unwilling to face. Zhang Jiaohua was a little afraid to face Zhang Shicai, fearing that he would receive news from him that he was very unwilling to accept.

Zhang Youlian felt a choking in her throat and her eyes felt moist. This child!

When he heard that Zhang Shicai was back, Zhang Manyin ran over immediately.

"Shicai, you are back. Have you made a lot of money?" Zhang Manyin asked with a smile.

"Uncle Man Yin is here, smoking." Zhang Shicai held a good cigarette with a hard shell and a filter. Very few people in the village smoked cigarette with a filter. It was really a long time to take it out. "Yinxiu and I just earn some hard money in the factory. It's just that Brother Ping and the others are good. They have a good factory and have a high salary. Brother Ping still thinks it's too little, so they come out to work alone. I don't have the courage of Brother Ping. Brother Ping has sent it."

"Shicai, you guys are out together. You two are back. Why don't Youping and the others come back together?" Zhang Manyin took the cigarette, took it in his hand and looked at it for a while, and put it in his ear and put it on his ear.

"They are a little far away from us. But before I came back, I went to their place. Before the New Year, the lady Qiaoye Factory took a Hong Kong order and had to work overtime until she was over twenty to see if she could finish it. Moreover, Brother Ping wanted to make more money during this time. After the New Year, he also wanted to learn to drive and get a small four-wheel cargo by himself. He was developed." Zhang Shicai said with some envy.

When Zhang Manyin heard Zhang Shicai praise his son and daughter-in-law, he also had a smile on his face, "When will they come back? Do they have a correct word?"

"Sister Qiao Ye said that she could have a holiday at most until 26 or 7, but it was hard to say that Brother Youping was there. Youping said that it would be too late to go to Guangdong. If you don't seize the opportunity now, after a year or two, such a good opportunity will be gone. Originally, he asked me to build a recycling station like him. But I don't have the ability to make some stable money. "Zhang Shicai shook his head.

"Did Youping not plan to go home for the New Year?" Zhang Manyin could tell.

Zhang Shicai nodded, "Brother Ping said that during the Chinese New Year, there will be a large amount of waste in each factory to clean up, and this is just a big profit. He is planning to buy a car after the Chinese New Year, so that he can expand his business to that industrial park. In fact, Brother Ping has a good vision. If he continues to do this, he will definitely become a big boss."

"Big Big No! You can't compare to your own baby, and you still refuse to admit defeat and be a boss. I thought he was doing a big career in Guangdong, that is, collecting rags. If he comes back and goes with beggars to get the tea, isn't it better than his recycling station? Don't think that I haven't left the house and don't know what the recycling company is going on. No matter how big your business is, you'll just be a rags." Zhang Manyin was immediately angry when he heard that Zhang Youping was about to not go home for the New Year. Beggars have been waiting for their parents to come back for a year. If the couple didn't come back, Zhang Manyin really didn't know how sad this grandson would be. This child is so sensible and obedient, and has such great ability, but he just doesn't have the love of his mother or father.

Zhang Shicai didn't know what to say, "I also know how I should tell him if I ask about this?"

"What else can I say? I can hide this from beggars? Even if I can hide it for a while, I can hide it until the New Year? I will know sooner or later." Zhang Manyin said angrily.

Zhang Shicai and his wife had not yet gone to Yinxiu's mother's house or anyone else's house in the village, but went to the gardening ground first. Zhang Shicai's life was saved by Zhang Yaohua. The couple's marriage was continued because of Zhang Yaohua. So the first person they came back was Zhang Yaohua.

Zhang Shicai and his wife specially bought Zhang Yaohua a fashionable outfit for the city children in Guangdong. They thought they would be very handsome when they were wearing beggars. They also bought a lot of delicious food. The kids in the village came to play at home, and the couple had to grab some candies for the villagers, but most of these high-end candies were bought for beggars. Zhang Youping and his wife also bought Zhang Yaohua two new clothes and some delicious food for Zhang Shicai to bring back. They were already preventing that they would not come back. During the Chinese New Year, beggars did not have new clothes to wear. What beggars needed was really beautiful new clothes and delicious high-end candies?

Other children went to Zhang Shicai's house to play, but the beggars were missing. Zhang Shicai knew the reason why the beggars could not go. This child was probably angry. Although Zhang Shicai could not know the beggars' psychology at this time, he knew that the beggars must have been waiting for their parents to go home for a whole year. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, from spring to winter.

"Beihua, you are so amazing. You have started such a big career in a year." When Zhang Shicai saw Zhang Beihua's first words, he put the topic on the gardening field.

"Uncle Shicai, aunt, are you back from Guangdong?" Zhang Yaohua's answer was very plain.

"Well, beggar, aunt bought you a new outfit. Do you think it fits?" Ma Yinxiu took out a transparent plastic bag from her bag, which contained a new outfit. When she saw this packaging, it was different from the clothes on the streets of Gezhuping Town.

"Aunt, why did you buy me clothes?" Zhang Yaohua was a little surprised.

"If it weren't for you, your uncle's life would be gone. Our family would be dispersed. Both aunt and your uncle would be grateful to you. Come on, put on your clothes." Ma Yinxiu carefully helped Zhang Yaohua put on her new clothes.

"Is this clothes bought in Guangdong? They look so beautiful." Zhang Yuanbao said with some envy.

"Well, it was bought from Guangdong. Yuanbao, your mother also bought you new clothes. Look, this is yours. You can try it too." Ma Yinxiu took out a plastic bag from his bag, which was also a new piece of clothes.

Zhang Yuanbao opened his eyes wide, very surprised and very happy, "I have it too?"

"Go and try it now." Ma Yinxiu smiled.

"Are my parents and the others going to come back for the New Year?" Zhang Yaohua still asked a question that he wanted to ask very much but had been hesitating.

Ma Yinxiu and Zhang Shicai don’t know how to answer.

Zhang Shicai thought about it and said hesitantly, "Beggar, your father works alone in Guangdong, and now is in the initial stage. He is going to buy a small four-wheeler next year, so your father works hard to make money this year. He also said that when they make money in the future, they will settle down in Guangdong and take you to school in Guangdong. The school conditions in the city are particularly good. Your father said that you and your mother will live the best life in the future."

"Yes. Your mother's factory has a lot of orders this year, and overtime will be increased to 27 or 28. By that time, it will be difficult to buy tickets. So, by that time, they may not be able to come back. In fact, parents miss you very much." Ma Yinxiu looked at Zhang Yaohua with a little heartache, whose face suddenly darkened. But no matter what the couple said, Zhang Yaohua could no longer let go.

Zhang Yaohua's tears suddenly dripped down, and his body kept shaking.

The cold wind was howling on the ridge of Meiziao, and I don’t know who opened his shrill voice on the ridge.

"A chestnut blossoms a thread,

I miss the New Year in the spring,

Looking up, ice flowers are built up in the eaves,

I lowered my head and my eyes were filled with tears
