Xiping Village, shrouded in the night, seems extremely quiet. Occasionally, a few laughs of children came from a family, and this tranquility was instantly broken.

Ma Yan walked in the front, followed by Xia Jian and Qin Xiaomin. Behind them, Chen Erniu and Xia Sanhu were walking in close proximity. None of the people spoke, and they were all thinking about their own thoughts.

Not far from the village committee to Xia Jian’s family, there was no one else to meet the villagers along the way. Xia Jian couldn’t help but turn around and ask Chen Erniu, “No one comes out to walk around at night now?”

"Hi! It's snowing just now, who's out so cold outside? Besides, every household has a TV. After dinner, adults watch TV, and some children have to do homework, so there are really few people coming outside to play," Chen Erniu said, shrinking his neck into his collar.

Xia Jian couldn't help but pat Chen Erniu's neck and cursed: "You have this little chance? Is it so cold? You are a person who can survive the winter with a pair of pants."

"Hey! Don't mention this. It's not that I can withstand the cold, but I want to wear one more, but what should I do if I only have one?" Chen Erniu said this, with a sad face, as if he had returned to a difficult era.

While talking, several people had already arrived outside the gate of Xia Jian's house. Ma Yan took out the key, fumbled for a while and opened the door lock. Chen Erniu took the lead and turned on the street lights in the yard.

Seeing the snow that had not melted in the yard, Xia Jian suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart. If his parents were there, they would not be like this.

Chen Erniu was a very smart person. Without saying a word, he found a shovel from the tool room and began to shovel the snow in the yard. Xia Sanhu looked at it, found a broom, and followed Chen Erniu and swept it up.

Ma Yan glanced at Xia Jian and said a little embarrassedly: "The snow was snowing the day before yesterday, I was too busy yesterday and I didn't have time to come."

"Hi! Actually, it's not a big deal to scan or not. There is no one living there, so it doesn't make much sense to clean it up so clean." Xia Jian said, taking the door key from Ma Yan's hand and opening the door of the room where he lives first.

Everything in the house was as old as before, and there was no sign of dust. Xia Jianxian ignored these things, but ran to the room where tools were specially placed, found the coal stove placed in his room every year and picked it up.

"What? Do you want to make a fire?" Ma Yan asked in surprise.

Xia Jian smiled and said, "I want to stay in my room for one night." Xia Jian said, and then began to install a chimney. These things were all complete, so when Chen Erniu cleaned the snow in the yard, the fire in Xia Jian's room was in full swing.

The fire was very strong, and soon there was a warmth in the room. Seeing that Xia Jian had made up his mind, Ma Yan could only sigh and said, "The bedding has just been sunburned, and the electric blanket can be used directly."

Xia Jian did not shy away. He opened the quilt in front of these people and inserted the electric blanket into it. The feeling of home gradually became more and more perfect if his parents could appear in front of him at this time! Xia Jian couldn't help but be stunned.

"Hey! The place is almost done, go to my house for dinner!" Chen Erniu said enthusiastically.

Xia Jian: "Oh!" He quickly withdrew his panic and smiled and said, "No need! It's so cold that I don't want to go out."

Ma Yan glanced at Xia Jian and suddenly said to Qin Xiaomin: "Sister Qin! Can you come with me?"

"Yes!" Qin Xiaomin said, turned around and followed Ma Yan and left. Xia Jian opened his mouth, but he swallowed it back when he was at the mouth.

Ma Yan took Qin Xiaomin out of the yard and came to Zhao Hong's backyard before standing down. Zhao Hong left, and her in-laws were unwilling to come back to live because they were sad. So her yard became an empty yard without anyone living there.

The yard of Xia Jian’s family was also empty. In addition, Zhao Hong was leaving for Shaoshen, so no one came to this area, let alone at night, even in broad daylight.

After the two of them stood still, Ma Yan lowered her voice and asked Qin Xiaomin: "Sister Xiaomin! I want to ask you something, I wonder if you can tell me the truth?"

"Oh! You want to ask me about my relationship with Xia Jian! Then I will tell the truth. From the moment I first met Xia Jian and gave him his bed to sleep, I fell in love with him."

"You should know one thing later. For him, I gave up the opportunity to work in the provincial capital. But our relationship has never been made public. First, my mother disagreed, and second, I knew that Xia Jian had Zhao Hong in his heart."

"Now the opportunity is here, I will never let it disappear from my eyes again." Qin Xiaomin didn't say much, but her words were filled with her persistent love for Xia Jian.

Ma Yan was stunned for a while and said, "Sister Qin! I know you love Xia Jian very much. But I think you are not suitable, so I advise you to quit!"

"Oh! We are reluctant to leave it there? I think it's enough for me to love him, and he loves me too." Qin Xiaomin spread his hands and said confidently.

Ma Yan smiled and said, "You are educated, have a family background, and have a good job. And you are beautiful and more than enough to match him Xia Jian. But you have forgotten one thing. No matter where he goes, he is always a migrant worker."

"I know this! I just like migrant workers like him." Qin Xiaomin spoke very firmly.

Ma Yan had nothing to say, and the two stood quietly. After a long time, Qin Xiaomin then breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ma Yan! You are a good girl, beautiful and educated. And you also managed Xiping Village in an orderly manner, which shows that Xia Jian did not misunderstand you."

"But love is very strange, there is no need to force it. I believe you will have a happy life in the future." Qin Xiaomin finished speaking, then turned around and walked back.

Ma Yan in the dark smiled coldly and said, "I feel that sometimes it's wrong. I believe in reality more, and I will keep waiting."

"Stop hurting myself, I will grow old with Xia Jian." Qin Xiaomin said this and took big strides. Ma Yan couldn't help but cover her face and started crying.

She is a strong girl and never shed tears easily. Unexpectedly, the person she loved deeply was already famous.

When Xia Jian saw Qin Xiaomin coming back alone, he quickly winked at Chen Erniu. Chen Erniu immediately understood. When he just stood up, Ma Yan had already walked in.

"Since you are going to live here, pay attention to the coal smoke when you go to bed that night, I'm back." Ma Yan said, glaring at Xia Jian fiercely with her a little resentful look.

Xia Jian always lowered his head, and he didn't dare to see Ma Yan at all. Qin Xiaomin said very generously: "Then I'll give you a gift."

"No, the village is very safe." After Ma Yan said that, she turned around and left.

This made Chen Erniu, who was standing aside, looked at Xia Jian, lowered his voice and said, "You can send her off!"

"Eniu is right, you should send her off," Qin Xiaomin persuaded her.

Xia Jian thought about it, then stood up and ran out of the gate. Xia Jian could walk out with his eyes closed in every alley in Xiping Village.

At the entrance of the alley, Xia Jian caught up with Ma Yan. Ma Yan kept wiping her eyes in the night, and it seemed that she was sometimes strong.

"Ma Yan! Wait for me" Xia Jian chased after him from behind.

Ma Yan stopped and wiped away the tears from her face in two hands. Then she turned around and asked coldly: "What are you doing?"

"Stop talking annoyingly, I'll send you off. I won't say much about some things. In short, you are a good girl and will have a happy life for yourself in the future." Xia Jian said lightly and said a few words.

Ma Yan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Xia Jian! You know what I think about you. But what I want to remind you is that I think Xiao Min is not suitable for you. It's not that she is not good, but that she is too excellent in all aspects. Of course you are not good, but you are still a migrant worker after all."

"Thank you! I will remember your words. It's getting late, I'll send you back! Oh! I'll go back to Fuchuan City tomorrow. If you're not angry, you'd better take my key!" Xia Jian quickly changed the topic.

Ma Yan smiled a little desolately and asked, "Will Uncle Xia and Aunt come back for the Chinese New Year this year? It's been too long this time!"

"Come back! Xiao Chenchen is about to have a holiday, so I will let them come back to live as soon as the holiday is over. Besides, Zhao Hong has just left. There is still a new spirit during the Chinese New Year this year, so we cannot forget this." Xia Jian was in a little heavy mood when he said this.

Ma Yan sneered and said, "You still remember this. I'm leaving. I'm still in the village committee tomorrow morning. Anyway, there are Erniu and Sanhu around, so I don't care about your meal." After Ma Yan said that, she strode away.

Although the street lights in the village were a little dark, they were not very dark. Wherever Xia Jian was standing, he turned around and left as he watched Ma Yan keep entering the gate of her house.

When they returned home, Xia Sanhu had already brought many fresh vegetables from her house. Chen Erniu also killed a chicken he raised at home, and the two of them said that Qin Xiaomin wanted to eat hot pot.

The fire in the house was very strong, so the iron pot was put up, Chen Erniu put the hot pot seasonings he brought in, and added half a pot of water. Then he added small peppers, garlic and green onions. A very pleasing pot of hot pot soup was ready.

Several people were talking, and as soon as the soup pot boiled, Chen Erniu put a few chopped chicken pieces in it, and then began to serve dishes into the pot.

Xia Jian took the soup that Xia Sanhu handed to him and said with a smile: "It's not bad! Are you good at eating now?"

Xia Sanhu smiled a little shyly and said, "Sometimes, when we are hungry at night, we eat like this. The more we eat, the more we have experience. If you don't believe me, try it. It is definitely more delicious than the hot pot restaurant."

Xia Jian smiled and said, "It looks good at first sight. Since we are rarely together, let's have a few sips." After Xia Jian said that, he got up and picked up the keys on the table and went to the room. There should be good wine hidden in the room where his parents lived.
