It had been sunny for several days, but it started to rain last night. Although it rained lightly, it didn't stop until daybreak.
The ground was covered with dampness, accompanied by gusts of cold wind, which made people shiver. It was really a day where I didn't want to get out of bed just because I was in a warm bed.
Song Qiu thrashed around in the quilt. He mustered up a lot of courage. He opened the quilt and jumped out. Shivering from the cold, he quickly put on all his clothes. Then he got out of bed and put on his shoes. He moved back and forth in one go.
, it didn’t take ten breaths of effort.
The clothes were wrapped around me, and at first I felt cold and not warm at all.
Song Qiu was not afraid of being immodest, so he simply turned out a small jacket and put it on inside, and then he felt a little warmer.
Song Qiu cupped his hands together and brought them to his mouth, took a few breaths of hot air, rubbed his hands together, and then walked out.
When he opened the door, he saw Aling, who had been up for a while, squatting at the door of the stove, holding a bowl and rinsing his mouth.
Ah Ling was still wearing the same outfit as yesterday, without any additional clothes, and the shoes on her feet were still without cotton.
When the Li family and the Wang family were making clothes for everyone, they made a pair of shoes with cotton on them to keep them warm.
But A Ling didn't wear it because she didn't think it was light and comfortable to wear and wasn't afraid of the cold. Lihua's new protective gear was worn for the first two days because her feet felt cold.
It's so cold today, Aling doesn't want to wear cotton shoes yet.
Song Qiu couldn't help but say something.
After rinsing his mouth for a few times, Aling wiped his mouth. After listening to the words, he stood up and looked over and said, "Why is this so cold? If it had been where I used to stay, it would have already snowed.
The snow is piled thickly on the ground, and the cold wind blows every day. If you don't cover your face when you go out, you will definitely get a rough cake when you come out. That's called cold! I can survive it, so what does it mean?
"
"Sister Aqiu, don't worry about me. You're such a small person, so just wear more warm clothes!"
Song Qiu listened and thought that what A Ling said seemed like it was in the northeast in his previous life. It was indeed cold enough, and the weather in their south was not comparable.
Seeing that A Ling really didn't feel how cold it was, and it wasn't about being polite or anything like that, Song Qiu just ignored her.
Shivering from the cold wind, I quickly jumped into the stove room. Inside, Old Yuan was sitting by the stove warming himself. The pot was boiling hot water for washing.
"It's really cold today! You should wear more clothes. You'll go to the workshop later and light up the brazier too. It won't be easy to feel the cold."
After hearing this, Old Yuan touched herself and said, "I'm wearing thick clothes! This thick quilted jacket and thick trousers your Aunt Wang made for me, the cotton is so used that I can hardly move while wearing it."
, it’s warm! But you, as Aling said, you are so thin, you need to wear more clothes, my breasts will be worried about you!"
It was cold in previous years, and she didn't get frozen even if she wore such a warm quilted jacket. This year, she was even less afraid. But as a granddaughter, her small body is afraid of the cold. She would get sick every winter, which made her very worried.
.
During the cold spring weather last year, my granddaughter was unable to withstand a serious illness. She almost survived, thanks to the blessing of the Buddha.
Song Qiu also remembered that his small body was really not good for him. He was afraid of the cold in winter and would always get sick.
But this year she is here. She wears warm clothes and eats well. Her body has long been replenished.
She just feels cold, nothing else. She will definitely not get sick this year and worry about asking for milk.
"I'm wearing a lot, and I even added an extra jacket today." Song Qiu said, and went to the stove and lifted up a corner of his clothes to show Old Yuan the jacket inside.
Old Yuan looked at it and felt relieved.
It's so cold today that Song Qiu just wants to drink a bowl of hot noodles to keep him warm. He washes up quickly, takes out half a bag of white noodles from the cupboard, and pours about the same amount into the pottery basin.
Start mixing the noodles with warm water.
Thinking that Zhang Yang was also at home, he poured in a lot more noodles, stirred them together, stir-fried the soup base with lard, cooked a pot full of gnocchi, and then threw in a handful of fresh green pea tips to boil.
When cooked, sprinkle with a handful of oily chopped green onions and take it out of the pan. Immediately, the aroma will be fragrant.
He put a pot in a pottery pot and asked Aling to carry it to the Zhang family.
Mrs. Miao happened to be making breakfast too, and was about to make pancakes with the white flour Zhang Yang bought yesterday, but she stopped when she saw A Ling had brought a large bowl of gnocchi.
He took it and came out with a smile, thanked Song Qiu with a shout, and hurriedly carried it into the upper room.
It's cold and I'm afraid of the cold if I let it dry for a while.
Zhang Yang got up from bed and went into the upper room. Hearing that Ah Qiu had cooked the noodles, he quickly took a large bowl from Miao's hand, squatted by the brazier and drank heavily.
After breakfast, Zhang Lihua and Aling went out of the village to the inn together.
Song Qiu took the money box and wanted to go to the workshop with Old Yuan. Today it was time to pay the workers in the workshop.
After closing the courtyard door, Zhang Yang happened to come out. Old Yuan greeted him with a smile, "Where are you going, A Yang?"
"I'm going to Chengjiazhuang!" Zhang Yang replied with a smile.
"Okay! I'm going to meet your parents and say hello to me." Old Yuan knew what he was going to do as soon as he heard it and said hurriedly.
Zhang Yang nodded in agreement, glanced at Song Qiu again, followed the two of them down the gentle slope, and then headed out of the village separately.
Old Yuan watched the person walk away, turned to look at her granddaughter, and sighed: "This kid has gone out for a few runs, and he looks even more different now. He looks much more stable, and his body is strong."
Yes, he looks more and more like his grandfather!"
Song Qiu listened and understood that this grandfather was talking about Zhang Yang's biological grandfather Li Dachui.
Her workshop still uses Li Dachui's house.
If Zhang Yang looks like Li Dachui, then Li Dachui is also a strong man. For some reason, he has been away for more than thirty years without ever coming back to check it out.
She was really curious, so she couldn't help but ask, "Mistress, what kind of person is Grandpa Li? Did he like Uncle Winter Melon and Aunt Shuiqin at the beginning?"
If you want to like your son or daughter, you can't leave without looking back and never come back even to take a look at your son or daughter, right?
Anyway, in her memory, she never heard of Li Dachui coming back.
Mrs. Yuan heard her granddaughter ask Li Dachui whether the man who had stayed in their sisters' memories for thirty years was still the same as before. No one knew what he would be like if he could grow old.
She couldn't help but look a little sad.
"He was a hard-working and capable man. His father passed down to him the art of making candy. In those years, people from all over the country bought his candy, and he often walked the streets carrying a load to sell it.
It’s a lot of money to make!”
"It's a pity that someone who wants a wife is not very lucky. He died of illness less than half a year after entering the house. At that time, there were so many people who wanted to ask for a wife by asking for him."
"Later on, I must have had this fate in my life. I got married to your Grandma Deng. It was arranged by Ming Yuanzheng's wife Zheng Erba, and there was no lack of etiquette. It was also at that time that your Uncle Pumpkin was still young, and your Grandma Deng was afraid
He wasn't used to changing places, so he didn't move to Li's house and asked you, Grandpa Li, to live here."
