The eyes are white, and the snowmen are in a row. Broomsticks are used as arms, and leather caps are also worn. The red beans are turned into buttons, and the heart is happy.
Zhangjiazhuang, during the afternoon break, the children who ran out of the school picked up their own tools and started to build snowmen. One by one, the big snowballs rolled out, the smaller ones were on top, and some snow was added, and they became a snowman. Look like.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also joined in, giving pointers from time to time. Those children are responsible for doing things. For this, Zhang Xiaobao specially asked people to find some things in the grocery store, such as lower-quality leather hats, brooms, and red soybeans. , There are black charcoal blocks.
Carrots are also used as noses. Wang Juan didn’t understand when he started. Why should a child build a snowman take out so many things? Just use branches instead of arms. You can use mud balls in other places. Some money.
Zhang Xiaobao said to her: "This is cohesion. We must let the children have a sense of belonging to Zhuangzi from an early age. Everything is the best, and they are also the best. You see, the children see these things, one by one. Do it more seriously."
Looking at the snowmen that formed one by one, Wang Juan had to admit that as soon as these things were taken out, the children's performance was different, and they appeared to be more formal and more rigorously organized.
"Xiao Man, take a look, this is you, this is me, I will hold you until, until spring comes." Liu'er took the little brother's hand and stood in front of two snowmen, one big and one small, facing each other. Said the sensible brother.
Xiao Man is much stronger than when he was. If others don't tell me, he will never see that this child is the small, dark and skinny poor baby at the beginning.
At this moment, he was wearing thick clothes, a leather hat on his head, and a scarf around his neck. He held his sister's hand to see who were busy and laughed happily.
Hearing what his sister said, the three-year-old turned his head and asked: "Sister, spring is here, the snow has melted, and we are gone."
"Well, the snow has melted, we... we." Liu Er didn't know what to say, as if she didn't want spring to arrive.
"You turned into water, flowed into the river together, and then became clouds, a large and a small one, flying in the sky." Wang Juan felt that the child's mood was really uncomprehending. When he looked at the snowman, he didn't want to Let spring come, say in a childish tone on the side.
Liu'er's eyes lit up. "Yes, it will become a cloud, then rain, and fall on the flowers and plants below. Xiaoman waters a flower, my sister waters a flower, and the two flowers are still together. In winter, it will change again. Cheng Xueren is a bit older than this year. My sister has always been with you."
"Together." Xiao Man was happy again.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan also have a new kind of feelings, the change of seasons brings sadness and hope.
A horse ran from a distance. Without reaching the children’s play area, he went directly to the host’s courtyard. After a while, Mr. Zhang came to this side and faced Zhang Xiaobao, who was there to make a snow slide. He said to Wang Juan: "Little son, little lady, the county magistrate is coming, and it is estimated that he will arrive after dark."
"Oh, it seems that he still doesn't give up, come on, just to see what he is going to do? People are watching, including the people he sees, it is better to know what they say."
Zhang Xiaobao stopped the snow shoveling in his hand, looked at Xiaoqiao and said.
The housekeeper Zhang knew that the young man didn’t care about this, so he nodded and responded and turned to leave. Wang Juan complained a little unhappily: “I have to come today, and I have to take the child to play for a while. My mood has changed again, and I have been fighting all day. It would be great if we were really kids who didn't understand anything."
"Children want to grow up quickly, and adults want to go back to the past. We are back and should be content. The nostalgia for life is not the pain of death, but the unwillingness to lose attention to the world and just live. "Zhang Xiaobao seemed to be used to fighting, and said firmly to Wang Juan.
Wang Juan smiled. "That’s what I said. If you want to live a good life, you must master more resources. The contention will never stop. The snowman will also face the spring. When the tide goes down, what should come will come, as long as you can go further along this road."
"Well, this is life. Fortunately, it is easier for me to have you. When the water in the swimming pool freezes, we will make ice lamps. There is so much redness in the crystal, and the coldness is a warm heart." Zhang Xiaobao's mood He was also touched by the children's joyful play, and he wouldn't say this normally.
In order to give the children more memories of laughter, Zhang Xiaobao specifically announced that there will be no class today. Amidst the laughter of the children and the gaze of the snowman’s black eyes, night comes quietly, and the sky over the quiet village is hazy. Full moon.
…
"My lord, you will bear it first, and you will be at the place right away. After eating instant noodles, you won't be able to eat anything else."
It’s getting dark, a few lanterns are hung in front of the car, or they are picked up by the government officials. The county magistrate Jia’s team is getting closer and closer to Tuqiao Village. The magistrate Jia had a full meal some time ago. In his opinion, the taste is really good, especially the meat and green onion that were added later, the taste is only a little worse when it is soaked.
At this time he felt hungry again, and wanted to eat another bowl, but the yaman couldn't bear to give it to him. Ordinary people couldn't eat these things at all, so he was there to persuade him.
County magistrate Jia swallowed and said, "It's coming? Okay, sooner."
"Hurry up." Seeing that the county magistrate Jia no longer asked them to eat, he let go of his heart and yelled. The speed of the team's march really increased a lot.
In fact, if they want to, they can go to the place before dark in order to give Zhangjiazhuang more time to prepare. This has been delayed until now. The county magistrate in the car is uncomfortable, and they are also cold and tired.
When the car came to Gejiazhuangzi, apart from the occasional dog barking, there was only the movement of the car wheel rolling on the snow.
County magistrate Jia picked up the driving curtain to look at the exterior, but he saw a bright light going up along the road in the darkness around him, and asked the servants outside: "Why is it still lit over there? Is it because someone is walking?"
"If you go back to the adults, there is the other side of the bridge, where Zhang Wang's family Zhuangzi is located, and a lantern will be lit at every interval on the road to illuminate others." Ya Ya said next to him.
He was thinking in his heart that with such an arrangement, if someone came to make trouble, he would avoid the places where the lanterns can shine and look for dark places, but those dark places are where the seedling guards are watching.
"I heard that there is a market here, and it is still there now?" County magistrate Jia thought for a while but didn't figure out who would walk the night on Zhuangzi's road at night, so he had to ask about other things.
"Yes, there will be a few days to celebrate the New Year, and more people will come to buy things, and there are merchants who collect pork from other places. Zhangjiazhuang has started to kill pigs."
As soon as the government officer talked about Zhangjia Zhuangzi’s killing of pigs, his expressions of excitement appeared on his face. Then, Zhuangzi would give them some meat. This year there will be hundreds of pigs to be killed.
County magistrate Jia was uncomfortable when he saw the appearance of the Ya Ya in the light of the lantern. If he raised two pigs and killed him, the Ya Ya would definitely not be so happy. "Is it cheaper to buy things here? Zhangjiazhuang is so smart, why not Sell it yourself?"
Ya Ya shook his head and said, "It's not cheap. The pork here is sold separately. The elbows are put together, the pig's head is put together, and the ribs and meat are piled separately. After buying this, a pig will cost dozens of yuan more. "
"Oh? It's expensive? Then someone else would come over and buy it stupidly?" County Magistrate Jia couldn't figure it out.
"Naturally, you can buy enough here at one time. Other places will charge you more money for the car. There is a carriage shop in the county that sends carts and horses to wait here. The merchants who bought the things hired a car to take it away instead of sending a car by themselves. It can save half of the travel expenses.
The county magistrate Jia heard that he was using Sanshui County’s carts and horses to travel, and he was also happy that he could at least make more money for the people. By that time, as the yavier said yesterday, he could charge more taxes if he bought things with money.
The Yayue continued: "Don’t look at the carts and horses here, you only need the money you made when you go, but you can still earn an extra. On the return journey, you can buy things from elsewhere and just come back to the bazaar and sell them directly. For Ergou, Zhang's Zhuangzi will add some extra work to sell the things."
"Speaking of which, the money was finally made by Zhangjiazhuangzi?" County magistrate Jia was unhappy when he thought that Zhangjiazhuangzi made money.
"It’s all earned, my lord, when it’s here, do you want to cross the bridge first, or go directly to the Shuiyunjian restaurant? Several buildings have been built in Shuiyunjian, and they have not been completely repaired. Only the original one can be done. Buying and selling." The car came to the side of the road, and the yavier asked.
County magistrate Jia hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's not a bridge today. Go to the restaurant and let them serve their signature dishes. Oh, my officer came out today and forgot to bring the money."
The county magistrate Jia deliberately said the second half of the sentence, wanting to feed the Zhang family into poverty. The yaman understood the county magistrate’s careful thinking, and said on the side: "The adults don’t have to worry about money matters. As in the past, you just eat. Yes."
"En, Sanshui County is good." County magistrate Jia only feels happy at this time. In the past few days, every time he goes out to eat, he chooses signature dishes. The more expensive, the better. Take revenge on the Zhang family once.
When the car arrived outside the gate of Shuiyunjian, there was no snow and the yellow sand on the ground gave people a dry and clean feeling. The county magistrate Jia specially wore official uniforms today, just for the people who wanted to make Zhangjiazhuangzi. Knowing that he came to them this time, he also understood that even if he didn't wear it, people knew that he was here and there were so many spies around him.
"My lord, you are here, please come inside, and wait on the second floor." The guy greeted him, and when he saw that the new magistrate of Sanshui County had arrived here, he greeted him swiftly.
