Winter seems to have come very early in Qijia Village this year. Now that it has just entered October, it is already so cold that it is almost impossible to stretch out your hands, and you can see the white snow when you breathe. e3
Looking at the large area of frost-stained ground outside the window, Hehua felt particularly depressed. She had never seen such cold weather before. It was probably because global warming hadn't started yet. It was only late autumn and it was already so cold that she didn't want to leave the house.
Thinking about the fact that she has been here for more than two months after time travel, except for the rustic name, her parents are harmonious and her sisters are harmonious. Although life is difficult, the harmonious family love often makes her full of joy. If there is not such an extremely cold winter every year, But it’s so much more perfect. Fortunately, my mother, Fang, was diligent, so the cotton-padded clothes and trousers for adults and children were made early in the morning. Hehua, who was still wearing jackets regardless of others, was sitting on a stool by herself. Chapter 1: The beginning of winter. Xuezi took out the cotton-padded clothes and put them on first. Let’s talk about it after getting warm!
"Gu Gu Gu..."
While lotus flowers were tossing around in the house to keep warm, Mrs. Fang was feeding the chickens in the yard with a dustpan in her belly, thinking that if it would still be so cold in the next two days, she would have to move the chicken rack into the house. Go, otherwise she would be extremely distressed if even one of the chicks she had raised for a year and was waiting to lay eggs would freeze to death.
Zhu Yongxin squatted on the threshold of his house and smoked a dry cigarette. After several puffs, he blew out a smoke ring, which slowly rose and dissipated in the air. It was not until he finished smoking a bag of cigarettes that he knocked the pot on the bluestone outside and looked at the square. Shi's stomach asked, "The last time my mother calculated the date, was it these days, right?" There are not many words”
"I guess it's almost done." Mrs. Fang scattered the last bit of chicken food in the dustpan, turned the dustpan over and tapped, stretched out her hand to touch her belly, and said with a smile on her face, "After picking up so many children, it's just a matter of time." This cute little one is very obedient in his belly, so he should be a sensible one when he comes out. It would be better if he is as cute as our lotus."
Rural officials call giving birth to children "picking up children". Maybe they think it is easier to make a living by saying this. It has the same meaning as naming them Gou Sheng or Chouzi. The first time He Hua heard this, she thought she was the one who entered the first chapter. The wild child picked up by Dongtou Xue's family has now become accustomed to the local accent here.
Zhu Yongxin felt a chill on the back of his neck just as he was talking. He quickly looked up and saw that the sky, which was still sunny in the morning, had scattered snowflakes before noon.
The winter in the north is long and cold, so there is no need to do farm work. As the saying goes, half the year is busy and half the year is idle. From the snow to the next winter, every family basically stays at home, and there is no room for people without a fire. .
Zhu Yongxin and the three of them got married one after another. The house that originally only had a cabin could no longer accommodate these many people, so they had to build two rows of mud houses opposite each other at the back. Although there are always stumbling blocks, no one dares to mention the separation of the family because of Lao Zhu's bad temper. The money and food are still left in the hands of the old lady, but every winter they start a family in their own house to avoid having to fight again. They would burn the kang alone to keep warm, and then go back to their parents' house to eat together when they start farming next spring.
When Mrs. Fang saw that it was snowing, she suddenly felt happy. She had long been looking forward to the day when she would start her own business. Her brother came half a month ago to deliver birth control gifts, and brought a pickled cabbage and a small strip of pork belly. If they were eaten by the whole family, I was afraid that each person would not be able to get half a bite of the meat, but fortunately it was cold, so I kept it hidden in a vat in the backyard until it snowed so that I could take it out to improve the food for the children.
She put the dustpan on the chicken coop and immediately called Lotus into the house, "Go to your master and tell him, it's snowing, let's start cooking at home today." "
Hehua heard the shout and slowly moved out of the room. Fang looked up and saw that she was wearing a cotton coat and cotton trousers. She was so round that she couldn't even put her arms down, and her short legs were also spread apart when walking. "Puch" came out to greet her with joy. Dad, you wrapped the lotus flower like a cotton bun? "
Hehua was wearing such thick clothes, and she felt a little unable to move her legs. Fang said it was a cotton bun, and when she lowered her head, she thought it was very appropriate. However, she didn't want to have a beautiful and cold demeanor, warmth was the most important thing.
Zhu Yongxin looked back and said with a smile that she must have put on those clothes herself, but she had just worn so much in the winter, and she would wait until the next day to see if she can get dressed. "
Mrs. Fang was very happy when she heard this. She leaned over and kissed her daughter on the forehead and praised that our lotus is really sensible. She has already put on clothes at the age of five. After he finished speaking, he counted out five copper coins and gave them to her. He stretched out his hand to press the brim of his hat and said, "I'll buy half a catty of wine from your father's house. Be sure to pack the money and don't lose it. Go home as soon as you have the wine and don't go out." Have fun! "
"Yes." He Hua responded vaguely, grabbed the copper plate and stuffed it into the small purse around her waist, and walked slowly towards Lao Zhutou's house.
Until now, she only called this village Qijia Village. It was in an unknown place in the north, surrounded by mountains on three sides, but facing open land in front of the village with a big river flowing through it. It was still relatively rich in products. The Zhu family is a migrant from Qijia Village, and they didn't know it was time to settle here, but currently this is the only family with the surname Zhu. The couple has four sons and two daughters, and Hehua's father is the second eldest child in the family. The family has a small labor force and a large population, but life is still very tight.
There was a vegetable garden between the rooms several times, but they were all fairly close. Even with Lotus Legs walking in short steps, he walked there in a short while. Lao Zhutou was not at home, and only grandma Yang was feeding the chickens in the yard, because she She likes children very much and has a good temper, so Hehua still likes her.
"Nai, it's snowing today, so my mother said she would start a meal at home."
"Okay, let's go home." Yang took out a copper plate from his pocket, stuffed it into Lotus and said, "Buy a few pieces of candy, you brothers and sisters, to satisfy your cravings."
The lotus thanked Yang, and she held the copper plate and went to the entrance of the village to get some wine. It was almost lunch time, and there was no one in the village. From a distance, I saw Lao Zhu walking on the field ridge with his head behind his back and his hands behind his back, so he simply walked away and hid away.
Lao Zhutou is usually stern and doesn't like children. He either works or smokes and drinks every day, and has a very bad temper. In the first few days when Hehua came here, she saw him beating her eldest grandson for knocking over a wine bottle. From then on, she had planted a shadow in her heart that she must not provoke Lao Zhu.
"stop!"
She was walking with her head lowered when she suddenly heard a childish scolding. Hehua raised her head in surprise and saw several little boys standing in front of her with airs on their shoulders, each of them deliberately sullen and pretending to be fierce. She blinked her eyes. I looked around and saw only one person, so I asked if you could call me without skipping the words.
"Do you think there are other people on the road?" The leading boy shouted loudly, "Leave the wine jars to a few of us, and you can leave." "
Is this... highway robbery
Hehua half-opened her mouth and looked at the few little kids in front of her speechlessly. As the saying goes, it is a blessing, not a curse. It is a curse that cannot be avoided. I just avoided the old Zhutou, and now I am in trouble. . She looked at the few strangers in front of her and blurted out: "How old are you? You haven't grown your hair yet? You drink?" "
Several boys were immediately choked by her and could not speak. They looked at each other and felt embarrassed. The leader's face turned red, feeling that he had lost face in front of the others. He suddenly stepped forward and raised his hand. Pushing on Hehua's shoulder, he pushed her back two steps and fell to the ground.
He Hua forgot that she was five years old now and fell to the ground without warning. Thanks to her thick clothes, she didn't feel any pain. However, the wine jar fell into pieces and she only felt the pain in her palms. When he lowered his head, he saw that the piece of wine jar he was pressing on was already covered in blood.
When several half-grown men saw that someone had been injured, they panicked and suddenly all of them disappeared. Lotus sat on the ground, the pain in her palms made her unable to hold back tears. This was the first time she cried since time travel. Her heart felt as if she had knocked over a five-flavor bottle. All the grievances and depression came to her heart. , unable to control his emotions for a moment, he started wiping tears while sitting on the road.
Qi Jintang came out of the house and saw the lotus. The five-year-old little man was sitting on the ground, raising his hands to wipe his tears but could not hear a cry. He ran quickly and reached out to pick up the lotus and asked the lotus, is this it? ? Stumbled? "As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to help her pat the dirt on her body, and then looked at her clenched hands, "Where is the injury? There is blood on your hands? "
Hehua was picked up by someone and came back to her senses. She saw a boy of seven or eight years old in front of him. He was dressed in a purple and half-used cotton robe, which made his face fair and handsome. He was looking at him with concern. It took him a while to recognize that he was a village boy. The master's head lift is big.
"Brother Jintang..." Seeing the familiar person, Hehua said hello first, sniffled and said vaguely that a kid just wanted to steal my wine jar, but I didn't give it to them, so they pushed me away... "
Hehua had been venting for such a long time, and she felt much better in her heart. However, she looked down at the broken wine jar, and saw that the wine had already seeped into the ground, and no trace of it was left. She began to feel depressed again. She had bought it for five copper coins, and now she couldn't even see it anymore. The jar was broken and I had to pay the store money.
"Stop crying, I'll take you home." Qi Jintang said, taking out a handkerchief to wipe Hehua's tears, and then imitating what his mother usually did, he put the handkerchief on Hehua's nose and pinched it, "Blow hard! "
"..." Hehua feels that she has become more and more lively in the past two months. Her body is five years old and her temper is about to become five years old. It is already very embarrassing to cry in front of a child, so why would she blow him with his hand? Nose, that would be really embarrassing. Thinking of this, her little face turned pale pink, and she was so embarrassed that she snatched the handkerchief from Qi Jintang's hand, "I, I'll just come..."
Qi Jintang looked at her pink little face and remembered what his father often said about the difference between men and women. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed to wipe it off. But he frowned when he looked at the lotus hand and said, your hand... is full of blood. ..." Seeing her crying eyes like peach, he didn't trust her, thinking that the book said that men and women had different seats at the age of seven, and Hehua was only five years old, so it should be fine, so he walked up to her and squatted down with his back to her, "Come up here and I'll carry you. Don't worry, I'm very strong. I can carry my sister safely at home. You're not as heavy as my sister!" "
Hehua hesitated for a moment, then carefully lay on Qi Jintang's back.
As soon as He Hua entered the house with Qi Jintang on his back, she immediately regretted it. She really underestimated the respect Zhu Yongxin and Fang had for the Juren family. In addition to the respect that country people have for educated people, this was also because their eldest brother Borong was now doing the Juren family. Studying in a private school run by his family.
"Qi, it's so troublesome for you to give us lotus flowers. They must have been playful and dropped the wine jar. Look, it even rubbed dirt all over your body." Mrs. Fang specially took out a new towel from the house and gave it to Qi Jintang gently. He patted the dust and snowflakes on his body and said, "Daddy, hurry up and get an umbrella to send Qi home."
Zhu Yongxin actually came out with an oil-paper umbrella under his arm, half-hunched over to support Qi Jintang.
Seeing Zhu Yongxin and Fang Qi Jintang Yiyi, even to the point of a little panic. He Hua felt very unhappy. She liked her new parents very much and had long regarded them as relatives in her heart. She felt a little sad when she saw them bowing their heads and apologizing to others.
Qi Jintang didn't expect to receive such courtesy at Hehua's house. He blushed and tied his hands at a loss. When he saw Hehua standing nearby with his mouth slumped, he quickly said, "I wish you uncle and aunt, we all live in the same village." , Such politeness went unnoticed. Hehua met a few boys on the street who snatched her wine. Then she hit the wine jar and hurt her hand. It was only proper to give her medicine quickly, so I went back first! After that, he smiled at Hehua and said, "I am recovering at home, so I am not in a hurry to return the handkerchief to me." "
He Hua was still holding Qi Jintang's handkerchief in her palm, thinking that this person was not good at all, and he didn't have the airs of a brother. She was about to speak, but he had already turned around and ran away.
