The winter in the south is different from that in the north, especially in the six central regions. Because of the heavy humidity, the coldness is so cold that it is so omnipresent. No matter how much you cover it, it is difficult to warm your body.

In the already cold weather, there is still light rain in the sky, making people feel colder.

Li Shaoan stood under a big tree, trembling with coldness.

What surprised Li Shaoan was that the woman who was sitting next to him just now got off the car, and was standing under the big tree to hide from the cold rain.

There was still no words between the two, but as a man, Li Shaoan felt the need to break this awkward atmosphere.

"Are you from Tieshan Bay?"

"Um."

The woman nodded gently.

"My name is Li Shaoan, where are you?"

"Zhao Xuemei."

...

After a brief exchange between the two, the atmosphere became silent again, not because of anything else, but because Li Shaoan held it in for a long time and didn't know what to say.

Zhao Xuemei's beautiful eyes sometimes circulate on Li Shaoan's body, and it seems that she is also waiting for Li Shaoan to speak.

However, after waiting for a while, looking at Li Shaoan's desire to speak but stopped, he couldn't wait for a word.

The cold wind was chilly, and a gust of cold wind blew, and the two of them kept shivering.

...

"Do you know Li Shaoguo?"

I really couldn't wait for Li Shaoan's words, so Zhao Xuemei had to speak first.

"That's my elder brother, do you know him too?"

Li Shaoan finally found an opportunity to speak and immediately started talking to Zhao Xuemei.

The two of them became much more familiar with each other this time, and they were not as nervous as before. They chatted harmoniously, and they gained a better understanding of each other.

Li Shaoan mentioned Li Shaoguo is his eldest brother. In addition to Li Shaoan and Li Shaoguo, Li Shaotai and Li Shaomin, the names of the four brothers together are "Government and Peace".

Among the four brothers of the Li family, Li Shaoguo loves Li Shaoan the most, and the relationship between the two brothers is also the best.

Li Shaoan was admitted to the Agricultural University, and his family was in a difficult situation and had no money to support his school. Li Shaoguo ran around, borrowed money from the villagers, contracted ten acres of land in the village, and sent Li Shaoan to the university by planting sweet potatoes and peanuts.

Li Shaoan went there for four years. In the past four years, all the fees for Li Shaoan's study were supported by his elder brother Li Shaoguo. It can be said that Li Shaoan's today was dug out from the ground with a hoe and a shovel.

Li Shaoan is grateful to his elder brother and sister-in-law. Both Li's parents have passed away. Now the elder brother and his family are the most important relatives in Li Shaoan's heart.

When Li Shaoan wants to get rich, the first thing he thinks of is to let his elder brother and his family live a good life without having to look at people's faces everywhere for money.

As for the other two brothers of the Li family, Li Shaotai was brought to a distant relative because his family could not be kept. Since then, he has no contact with the Li family.

Many people in Tieshan Bay don’t know about this, and they all wonder why they have never seen Li Shaotai before.

Although Li Shaotai was adopted by others, the Li family still kept Li Shaotai's place. The Li family's parents were always ashamed of this. Before leaving, the two elders still missed their second son.

Li Shaoan's third brother, Li Shaomin, is a second-rate man who is idle all day long and does not do his job. He is lazy and lazy. He eats and drinks at his eldest brother Li Shaoguo's house all day long.

Later, Li Shaoguo arranged a marriage to his third brother and found a wife for Li Shaomin from another county. This wife was pretty, but few people could bear the fierceness.

Since Li Shaomin married this wife, the family has a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days, and all the pots and pans are smashed into pieces.

However, although this wife is savage, fortunately she is a scheming person. If Li Shaomin hadn't been in charge of her, she might have been miserable.

And this Zhao Xuemei is the cashier of Tieshanwan Village.

Today, when I went to the county town, I saved all the money from the village to the rural cooperative credit union. After saving the money, Zhao Xuemei returned by minibus and happened to meet Li Shaoan along the way.

In the car, Zhao Xuemei felt the man's eyes that sometimes didn't look at him. She was annoyed that he was ashamed of being frivolous, but she didn't dare to point it out. She could only turn her head and look out the window, pretending that she didn't see anything.

It was really hard to stand Li Shaoan's eyes, so Zhao Xuemei mustered up the courage to look slightly angry and glared at Li Shaoan. Only then did Li Shaoan's restless eyes become honest.

At that time, Zhao Xuemei was thinking in her heart that although this man was handsome and handsome, she acted so easily. Although she was not disgusted with Li Shaoan, she didn't have much favoritism. She just thought that she was the careless young people in Yangqiao Town.

However, when he heard Li Shaoan say that he was from Tieshanwan, Zhao Xuemei felt very curious. There were not all mud legs facing the loess and the back was facing the sky. When did such a glamorous young man come out?

Later, I heard that Li Shaoan graduated from a prestigious university, gave up his assigned job, and returned to his hometown to lead his fellow villagers to get rich. Gradually, his attitude towards Li Shaoan changed a little, and I felt that Li Shaoan's temperament was indeed different from that of ordinary people.

The two of them stood under the tree. They wanted to wait until the rain stopped before walking towards Tieshan Bay, but after waiting, the rain stopped, but the temperature dropped sharply, and snow began to fall in the sky.

This is always the case in the winter in Li Shaoan’s hometown. When it is the coldest, it will snow putty. Only after a thick layer of snow putty is laid on the local area, heavy snow will begin to fall.

"Oh no, it's snowing."

Li Shaoan's expression didn't look relaxed. Walking from the intersection into Tieshan Bay is a mountain road, with a total length of only seven or eight miles, but the mountain road is not as good as a flat road.

It takes about two hours to walk seven or eight kilometers on a flat road, but it takes four or five hours to walk seven or eight kilometers on a mountain road.

It was darker than usual when it snowed. If you didn’t hurry to Tieshan Bay, then it would get dark and you would be able to walk on the mountain road.

"How about going to Yangqiao Town in front, where there is a hotel where you can spend the night."

Zhao Xuemei was also worried that she would not be able to go back, but she had had similar experiences before. If she really couldn't go back, she could walk forward and spend the night in Yangqiao Town in front.

"I don't know when it's now. If it's still early, you can walk in."

Li Shaoan was not willing to go to Yangqiao Town in front because staying in a hotel also cost money, and it was not cheap, so he didn't want to spend this money in vain.

Zhao Xuemei gently lifted her sleeves, inadvertently revealing a piece of slender and white wrist, wearing a silver-white watch on it.

There is a plum blossom mark on the bracelet. Li Shaoan recognized that mark. When he was studying, he saw others wearing this kind of watch. However, most of the people wearing it are rich and identifiable. The name of this watch seems to be called a plum blossom watch. I heard that it will be sold for hundreds of yuan.

The three major items in the 1970s: bicycles, sewing machines, and watches. At that time, in Tieshan Bay, it was already very impressive that ordinary people could pick out one of them.

Looking at Zhao Xuemei's watch, Li Shaoan was very envious and made up his mind that he would give his sister-in-law a piece when he made money in the future.

"At 2:30, you decide whether to go to Yangqiao Town or Tieshan Bay."

"Go into the mountain. It's snowing now. It's hard to get in until the snow will be severe tomorrow and then you'll be able to get in."

Braving the cold wind and cold snow, the two began to walk into the mountains. Such a long mountain road was very difficult for those who had never walked. There were not many people who could persevere in the first time. The villagers of Tieshan Bay have been walking through this for generations, and they became accustomed to this after walking for many years.

Along the way, Li Shaoan and Zhao Xuemei talked and laughed, and with a companion, the long mountain road did not feel boring. Unconsciously, the relationship between the two improved one step further.

Unlike the coldness he was when he first met, Li Shaoan realized that Zhao Xuemei was not as cold as ice on the surface.

Looking at Zhao Xuemei's moving smile, Li Shaoan suddenly felt a little intoxicated.

In the heavy snow, Zhao Xuemei, wearing a white cotton coat, has a snow-white skin and white snow. With a smile, she is like the plum blossoms blooming in the cold winter, neither competing nor beautiful, but only has a faint fragrance.

Seeing Li Shaoan looking at her like this again, Zhao Xuemei felt a little proud. This time she did not glar at Li Shaoan again, but just pretended not to know.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the bitter wind blew into the collar, and Zhao Xuemei couldn't help but tremble.

Li Shaoan saw it and felt distressed. He immediately untied the long scarf on his neck and helped Zhao Xuemei put it on.

Before Zhao Xuemei could refuse, Li Shaoan had already put his scarf on him.

Li Shaoan said directly: "Wear it first, the colder the more you walk up the mountain, and it will catch a colder when you are blown by the wind."

"Thank you, thank you..."

Zhao Xuemei's cheeks suddenly turned red, feeling the remaining warmth on the scarf, a little deer in her heart was pounding.

With the wrapping of the scarf and resisting the cold wind pouring into the collar, Zhao Xuemei suddenly felt much warmer, not only because of the scarf, but also the man's actions just now.

When the two walked halfway up the mountain, due to the high terrain and the colder temperature, the snow putty here had already fallen a thicker layer, and the steep mountain road became slipperier and more dangerous.

When he arrived at a small ping-field, Li Shaoan stopped to rest. Half a journey of the mountain road made him panting.

Zhao Xuemei, who was behind her, was also caught up, but suddenly Zhao Xuemei slid down, lost her balance, and rolled down to one side of the mountain road. There was a very deep valley there, and the consequences would be unimaginable if she fell down!
