Liu Yihua complained while driving: "Hey, the road conditions are worse than walking."
Cai Suyan smiled and said: "Mom, did Yi Hua often go to his grandma's house when he was young? I heard from my brother that it snowed heavily at that time and you always wrestled on foot..."
Liu Yihua's mother recalled a bit and smiled wryly: "Yes! At that time, let alone cars, there were no bicycles. So during the Chinese New Year, Yihua would walk to his grandma's house to go out. At that time, he was young, and it seemed that every year he walked There is always snow and it is easy to slip and fall. After falling, not only does the butt hurt, but even the gifts in the basket roll around, and they have to pick them up in the snow."
When Liu's mother talked about these interesting things about Liu Yihua, all the girls burst out laughing.
Then all the girls fell into deep thought again. Except for Xiao Ruoshui, Xiaoyan, Zhou Huijie, and Li Shanshan lived in a warm family since they were young, and they really didn't suffer at all. I didn't expect Yihua to suffer so much when he was a child. It seems that these "cousins" will have to take good care of this cousin in the future!
After a period of time, the two cars finally arrived at Liu Yihua's grandma's house.
Grandma Liu Yihua is very happy today. Her life is getting better and better in the past few years, and her health is getting better and better. When Liu Yihua was young, Liu Yihua's grandmother murmured every day that she wanted to find a "wife" for Liu Yihua.
Now Liu Yihua doesn't need these elders to find him a wife, but brings back a lot of beautiful daughters-in-law. How can Liu Yihua's grandmother be unhappy
According to the rules, all the girls immediately kowtowed to their grandma for New Year's greetings, and then received a new year's money again, all of them were smiling.
No matter how much this lucky money is, it is commemorative! They knew that Liu Yihua was the closest to their grandma, so they didn't dare to neglect them. If they behaved badly, it would be bad if Yihua had opinions on them.
As a result, Grandma Liu felt the boundless enthusiasm of her nieces and daughters-in-law, and she also knew what the girls were thinking, so she kept saying good things about these beauties in front of Liu Yihua.
Only at this time did Liu Yihua's grandmother realize that there was something wrong with Ren Tianxiang and Ren Xin. Ren Xin doesn't seem to be Liu Yihua's girlfriend, and Ren Tianxiang shouldn't come to see me. After all, visiting relatives during the Spring Festival must still be relatives, ordinary friends should not come here at all. Another Liu Yihua's grandma always felt that Ren Tianxiang looked like a person... so in the end Grandma Liu still asked: "Yihua and the others are your friends?"
Liu Yihua knew that the critical moment had arrived! He smiled and said, "Grandma, they are not my friends, they are my relatives."
Grandma Liu asked strangely, "A relative? Are there such relatives in our place?"
Liu Yihua pointed to Ren Xin and Ren Tianxiang and said, "Grandma, this is the daughter of my little aunt's family. At this time, the son of my uncle's family."
Grandma Liu was confused by Liu Yihua. Liu Yihua's mother whispered, "Mom, come here, and I'll tell you something."
After Mother Liu finished speaking, she dragged Grandma Liu into the room. Ren Tianxiang and Ren Xin are very nervous now, whether Liu Yihua's mother can go to the northeast to see what Grandma Liu wants.
Liu Yihua asked: "Brother, cousin, don't worry, I think my grandma will definitely agree this time. Okay, let's go for a walk first. There are many fruit trees outside. It seems that the snow is falling heavily on the bank. It is very beautiful covered with snowflakes."
Hearing what Liu Yihua said, everyone immediately went out to see the snow scene in high spirits.
At this time, Uncle Liu Yihua said: "Yihua, we are going to catch fish in the river, do you want to go?"
Liu Yihua heard that there are fish... and shouted: "Okay! Haha, I haven't caught fish on the ice for a long time, let's go! Well, beauties, if you want to go, follow me!"
Crash... In the last group of people, only Liu's father and Liu's mother were left talking with Grandma Liu.
In winter, the temperature in northern my country drops to minus 20 or 30 degrees, with ice and snow and frozen rivers, but many people in the north have the habit of fishing on ice.
The winter in Qilu Province is not too cold, but it is about minus 9 degrees, so a small river beside Uncle Liu Yihua's village is naturally frozen solid.
Liu Yihua and his entourage took tools and rushed towards Xiaohe. On the way, villagers greeted Uncle Liu Yihua from time to time and asked who these young people were... Whenever at this time, Uncle Liu Yihua would proudly say: "My nephew! Oh! , These are his daughters-in-law!"
The villagers all opened their mouths wide and thought: nephew? Nephew and daughter-in-law? But which one is his niece and daughter-in-law? Is this a lot? The quality is a bit better, right? But no matter what, it seems that this nephew is promising! "
A group of people walked to the river, and Li Shanshan asked in puzzlement, "Yihua, you said you were fishing on the ice, why did you catch fish?"
Liu Yihua smiled and said, "Don't you understand? Xiaoyan, do you understand?"
Xiaoyan grew up in the south, her feet were the first to stand on the slippery ice, she was so scared that she dared not even walk. Hearing Liu Yihua ask himself at this time, he smiled wryly and said, "I don't know why I can catch fish? It's the first time I've stood on the ice. So... so scared. Brother, the ice won't break, right? I'm finally I understand what it means to 'walk on thin ice'."
Liu Yihua smiled and stepped forward to support her, saying: "Don't be afraid! Even if you fall down, it won't hurt! How about this, who is afraid to come and help me."
Xiao Ruoshui and Huijie quickly slid over to grab Liu Yihua as a backer. It was the first time for them to stand on the ice, and they were very nervous just now. Now that there is a big tree like Liu Yihua as a backer, they feel more at ease.
Liu Yihua looked at the group of "sticking bark" around him, and said with a wry smile: "Look at you... others don't laugh to death? Haha, it looks like a rookie, is this the first time standing on the ice?" Zhou Huijie and others They quickly nodded to indicate that they were a little embarrassed. They wanted to be stronger in front of their boyfriends, but their legs kept shaking.
Liu Yihua said again: "Okay, just now Shanshan asked why she was able to catch fish, let me tell you, in fact, catching fish in winter is the easiest! It's almost like waiting for a rabbit!"
After a pause, Liu Yihua looked at the bewildered women and said, "See? I have a shovel in my hand. I will open a hole in the ice later, and the fish in the river bottom will come out by themselves." , Shouting obediently: "Come and catch me, come!"
The girls were amused by Liu Yihua, and Li Shanshan said angrily, "You can deceive people! Then why do you open a hole in the ice and the fish come out? You can't just jump into the river to catch fish?"
Liu Yihua said helplessly: "Little sister, people can go down, but don't think about getting out! Such thick ice wants to take a breath? Want to break through the ice with bare hands and climb up? That's absolutely impossible!
The same goes for fish! They also cannot float to the surface! You see, no matter how cold it is, the surface of the river is only frozen on the surface, and the bottom of the river will not freeze. Below the ice layer, the temperature of the river water is several degrees above zero, so the fish and creatures under the water will not all be frozen to death, but they may be suffocated to death! Because after long-term freezing, the water lacks oxygen, and the fish in the water are very uncomfortable. If the river water is too shallow, there is not enough oxygen in it, and the water temperature is low, those fish will die! "
Li Shanshan suddenly realized: "Oh, I see! If we open a hole in the ice, there will be fish... Is it related to oxygen?"
Liu Yihua touched Shanshan's little face and said, "Well, you are indeed a great reporter! You are smart! As long as we open a hole in the ice, the fish will swarm in to breathe fresh oxygen! Some can't wait, They will also jump onto the ice! We have a way to get those who don’t jump up, we can get them up with harpoons and fishing nets.”
Oh, all the girls understand now, the principle is that simple!
Uncle Liu Yihua walked for a while and said, "Okay, Yihua, let's break the ice here! There is a big hole here, and the surrounding water is shallow. It is estimated that the fish in the shallow water will come here to gather. Haha, we just caught them all!"
When Liu Yihua heard the words, he picked up tools and broke the ice. It didn't take much time to make a one-meter-square hole.
All the girls stared at the hole for a long time, Shanshan wondered: "Yi Hua, why haven't any fish come up yet?"
Liu Yihua said: "Hehe, the fish don't know that there is oxygen here! Let's go and inform them!"
After Liu Yihua finished speaking, he picked up a small fishing net with a wooden handle, put it into the water and stirred it, and then explained: "Sun Wukong also used the golden cudgel to notify the Dragon King when he made a big disturbance in the Dragon Palace!"
Shanshan suddenly realized: "Oh, I got it! This agitation changes the water flow and allows more oxygen to enter the river, so the fish will follow the vine!"
Liu Yihua pinched Shanshan's nose again and said, "Smart boy, I'll give you sweets when I go back! Well, Shanshan, I see that you are not afraid at all when you walk on the ice? And that posture is more beautiful. Haha! You are not a student Ever figure skating?"
Li Shanshan was shocked: "Ah, how do you know this? I used to train at the skating rink, so of course I'm not afraid of the ice anymore!"
Liu Yihua smiled and said: "Oh, no wonder, well, you hurry up and apply for our citizenship, you go to the Olympics! Go get the Olympic medals!"
"Really? Did you say that? I really went back to handle it..." Shanshan was a little excited.
Liu Yihua thought for a while and suddenly laughed: "Haha, when you mentioned the ice surface of the skating rink, I remembered a joke: It is said that a drunkard was drunk, and he suddenly wanted to go fishing on the ice, so he took his tools and set off Yes. Soon, he found a large block of ice, sat down, and began to drill holes.
Suddenly he heard a voice: Boss, you can't find fish down here!
The drunkard looked around, but there was no one there, so he continued to chisel.
At this time, the voice sounded again: I have told you, there are no fish down there!
The drunkard looked up and down, left and right, but still couldn't see anyone, so he buried his head and worked hard again.
The third voice rang: I have warned you three times! No fish there!
The drunk ghost became angry, and said angrily: "Grandma", "Grandma", how do you know there are no fish? Do you think you are God? Or Buddha? Still came to warn me
The voice said calmly: No! I am not God, nor Buddha! I am the general manager of this ice rink! "
"Hahaha… "
After Liu Yihua finished telling the joke, all the girls were taken aback for a moment, and then they all burst out laughing.
At this time, Liu Yihua shouted: "There are fish! Haha, there is more than every year! I hope we will get promoted and get rich this year!"
Liu Yihua picked up the fishing net, and there was a red carp weighing one catty in the net.
Xiaoyan cheered and said: "Oh, it's a carp! The carp jumps over the dragon's gate... Brother, you're going to be amazing this year!"
Next, everyone was busy fishing!
An hour later, Liu Yihua and the others had achieved fruitful fishing results, and retreated with a large bucket of fish.
As soon as Liu Yihua left, he saw several students swarming with simple tools to grab the hole they opened.
Liu Yifei said: "Haha, these little fellows are really cunning! I don't have the strength to break through the ice, and they'll come to take advantage of them when they leave!"
Back at Liu Yihua's grandma's house, Ren Tianxiang said nervously to Liu Yihua: "Yihua, do you think your grandma will agree with your mother to go to the Northeast? Now it seems that it is impossible for her to go."
Liu Yihua shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case. By the way, brother, why don't we engage in a bitter scheme?"
Ren Tianxiang said: "How do you say that?"
Liu Yihua smiled mysteriously: "Let's just say that..."
Ren Tianxiang excitedly said after listening: "Okay. Let's try it like this! But will it work?"
Liu Yihua smiled and said, "How do you know if something is going to work before it's done? Just try it."
After waiting for a while, Liu Yihua's mother came out, Liu Yihua whispered: "Mom, what did my grandma say?"
Liu Yihua's mother looked at Ren Tianxiang and Ren Xin and sighed: "Hey, your grandma said that I have grown up..."
Liu Yihua fainted: "This... my grandma is really powerful. Why doesn't she go to the officialdom? She can speak such a profound language."
Grandma Liu said that the meaning is that her daughter has grown up, so you can go if you want to go, you don't need to ask me. In fact, if Liu Yihua's mother really went, Liu Yihua's grandma would definitely be very angry. The consequences are sure to be severe.
"Mom, it's like this now, tell me the story of my grandpa and my grandma." Liu Yihua felt that he had to find ways to understand those things in the past before deciding how to convince his grandma.
Mother Liu sighed: "It was really difficult in the past when the war was in chaos. I didn't know much. Later, after I inquired, my mother learned something. It turns out that your grandfather had a child bride who was older than her. I was in my teens. At that time, it was considered an arranged marriage, right? Then your grandfather joined the revolution... Then he broke the "superstition" and stayed with your grandma... Then I don’t know why your grandfather returned to the child bride. Oh, it should be the child "Grandma" of Xianghe Xiaoxin."
Ren Tianxiang nodded and said: "Yes, aunt. I know that my grandpa beat a lot, he is almost 20 years old, right? My grandpa seems to have my father when he was 13 years old, and my father got married early, so I I am not young now. Hey, my "grandmother" passed away not long ago. Before she passed away, the person she said was the most sorry person in her life was Yihua's grandma. She told my grandpa to find ways to take Yihua's grandma into the family. Reunion…”
Liu Yihua's mother was stunned and said, "Hey, your "grandma" is really kind. But there is no right or wrong in the past, and I can't tell the truth."
Liu Yihua was stunned and said: "This... this story is a bit bizarre and tortuous, right? But Grandpa Wei Ping is really a model of a poor wife who doesn't go to court. Anyway, we don't know the specific reasons. Mom, let's go in and persuade Say hello to my grandma."
After Liu Yihua finished speaking, he walked in, and after a while, he heard the sound of a teacup breaking inside.
After a while, Liu Yihua came out with a strange expression.
Liu Yihua's mother blamed: "I said no, you still have to go there! How is it now? It made you lose your temper and throw your glass when you are old? Well, isn't it? Your grandma treats you very well, how could it be possible?" Lost your temper? What's going on?"
Liu Yihua smiled mysteriously, and then said to Ren Tianxiang: "Brother, follow the plan. My grandma let you in."
Ren Tianxiang was surprised for a while, and then immediately pretended to be sad. Little Liu Yihua nodded and walked into the room.
Not long after, Ren Tianxiang came out and made a victory sign to Liu Yihua. Liu Yihua waved his fist fiercely, knowing that it was done!
Not long after, Liu Yihua's grandmother wiped her tears, holding a dusty box in her arms, and said to Liu Yihua's mother: "Let's go, let's go and see your dear father. But he is also your dear father anyway." father."
"Ah?" Liu Yihua's mother froze for a moment and then said, "Mom, you mean you're going to the Northeast with me?"
Grandma Liu sighed: "Go. I don't know if I can see you for the last time. What's the use of being angry for a lifetime? Hey, I haven't gone out for many years."
Mother Liu smiled bitterly: "Mom, don't worry about this, right? How about going tomorrow?"
Grandma Liu glared and said, "Is there still time tomorrow? Hurry up and eat, make dinner and leave immediately."
"Okay..." Mother Liu didn't dare to say more and cooked immediately. During this period, the driver who drove Ren Tianxiang over called the brigade secretary's house and booked a plane ticket for the afternoon.
Grandma Liu is not in the mood to eat, and everyone is naturally not in a good mood. Immediately after eating, I packed up my things and rushed to the northeast. Liu Yihua's father, Liu Zhentian, was dealing with some matters at home and then arrived.
In the car, Liu Yihua's mother asked in a low voice, "Yihua, what's going on? How did your grandma agree to go to the Northeast?"
Liu Yihua smiled and said, "I said my grandpa is dying... I hope to see my grandma for the last time..."
Mother Liu was stunned and said angrily: "This is all right? Talk nonsense!"
Liu Yihua hurriedly said: "Mom, keep your voice down, don't be so 'superstitious', okay?"
Mother Liu thought for a while and suddenly laughed and scolded: "Do you dare to use this bitter trick?"
After two hours of turbulence, some people finally arrived at Huanghai International Airport and boarded a plane to the Northeast.
