The snow scene in the farm is very different from that in the capital.
The group of people got off the carriage and looked up. The endless fields were completely white. Half of the mountains in the distance were green and half were white with snow, which gave them a unique flavor.
Not to mention Yin He, even the well-informed Bai Shan and the other three were caught by it and stood on the roadside without moving for a while.
After getting out of the car, Lao Zhou twisted his waist and saw four children standing quietly on the side of the road without saying anything. Zhou Lijun and the others who jumped out of the car on the other side were also looking at the vast white snow and whistling.
He couldn't help but turn his head and take a look. He really couldn't see what was good about it, so he turned around and asked Qian, "What's so good about this snow?"
Mr. Qian was also looking at Xue happily. Hearing this, he glanced at him and said, "If you look happy, you look good."
Zhou Lang also felt happy. After watching for a while, he bumped into Mingxue and asked with a smile, "Brother Xiang, do you think if it snows on the grassland, it will be similar to this place?"
Xiang Mingxue said: "Although I have never seen snow on the grassland, I heard from people that the snow on the grassland in late winter is much heavier than here. In some places, the snow can reach people's chests."
Zhou Lang was speechless, "So powerful?"
Xiang Mingxue nodded, "So if the grassland encounters a snowstorm, not only will the cattle and horses freeze to death, but some wolves and wild cattle and horses will also fall into snow pits and be submerged to death."
Lao Zhoutou had already asked everyone to come inside quickly, it was too cold outside.
Zhuangzi has been built. There are two entrances in front and back, but there are three courtyards in one row, so there are six courtyards alone, not to mention the area enclosed by walls on both sides. There is still a lot of empty space for planting flowers and plants.
.
A group of people entered Zhuangzi, and Manbao went straight to the back and entered the courtyard next to the mountain, planning to live there.
Not only is there a large open space, but there is also a door on the side that connects to the outside. You can open the door to see the water and look up to the mountains.
However, Lao Zhoutou disliked the fact that it was too cold near the water. Seeing the children running around, he simply took Qian's family and occupied the main courtyard.
Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qian didn't care. They were used to living with their parents, so they naturally moved their luggage to the main courtyard.
Man Bao rushed into the courtyard and had already chosen a place for himself. I will live here, my husband will live there, my parents will live in the main courtyard, and Grandma Liu and others can live in the courtyard in front of us. "
Mrs. Liu also liked landscapes. She smiled and nodded when she heard this, then turned to Nanny Liu and said, "Send all their things to this courtyard. We will live in the first courtyard."
Zhou Lijun and the others also chose their own places. Anyway, the Zhuangzi is big enough and the rooms are sufficient. If there is not enough room, everyone can just squeeze in.
Anyway, I will only stay for two days. I don’t know when I will stay next time.
They took their luggage back to their respective rooms and put them down, then threw their hands and were about to run out. Lao Zhoutou quickly stopped them, "Don't go out to play. There is a lot of wheat growing in the fields. You guys are playing in the snow and trying to kill me."
What should I do if my wheat is stepped on?"
Then he said: "Don't you see there are so many people at home? Hurry up the mountain and pick up some firewood. If there is not enough, go to the village and borrow some from others. It's such a cold day and you will die of cold if you don't have enough firewood."
Not to mention Zhou Lijun and others, even Manbao didn't dare to run out to play, so he planned to go up the mountain to collect firewood.
When Lao Zhou turned around and saw them, he changed his smile and said, "You go up the mountain and wear thicker clothes. Bring your sickle. If you can't find any firewood, chop it. Come down when you are tired. Your sister-in-law and the others have started cooking. After that,
It won’t be long before it’s time for lunch.”
Several people took sickles and went to the hill next door together. Bai Erlang swung the knife to chop off the grass blocking the road, "I thought your father would let us go out to play and not let us go up the mountain."
Man Bao said: "You have a good idea. My fourth brother said that we were only halfway through the journey when my father started talking about not having enough firewood."
This is the first time Yin has gone up the mountain to collect firewood since he was so old. It is very novel.
He was wearing thick clothes. His hands and feet felt a little cold when he was in the car, but he no longer felt cold when he walked. It was just that he was wearing too thick clothes and was a bit heavy, so he was a little out of breath.
Zhou Lang saw them using sickles and wooden sticks to pull away the shallow snow on the ground. They didn't look like they were looking for firewood at all. He stepped forward and snatched the sickles from their hands. He waved his hands with disgust and said, "You go ahead and play.
Here I come."
"No," said Bai Shan, who was just stepping on the snow and having some fun. "Brother Zhou, we know how to collect firewood. We did this when we were kids."
Man Bao, who also likes to step on the snow, nodded repeatedly.
"I know you've done it before, but do you think the ground is so clean, as if there is ready-made firewood for us to pick up? Come out quickly and let's cut some branches."
Bai Erlang said: "These are all raw. Even if they are chopped, they cannot be used immediately, right?"
"So you can go down the mountain to play, and borrow some firewood from the people in the village. We will cut the wood here and take it back to dry in the dark, so that you can use it next time you come back."
Xiang Mingxue nodded, took out a piece of gray linen and wrapped it around his hand, and took the sickle from Bai Erlang's hand, "You guys go down and play."
Zhou Lijun rolled his eyes and said, "Fourth uncle, are we going down the mountain too?"
Zhou Lang glanced at her and said: "I'm too lazy for you, so you stay and drag the branches."
Zhou Lijun:……
Zhou Lang continued to talk: "How old are you? Can you act like a big girl? Brother Xiang, the guest, is working, are you embarrassed to go and play?"
Zhou Lijun:……
When Man Bao heard this, he pulled Bai Shan and ran away.
Bai Shan slipped and almost fell. He subconsciously pulled the tree next to him to stabilize his body. The snow on the tree started to smash down, hitting Zhou Lang and others under the tree.
Bai Shan was also hit by the snow, but he was not affected much. Seeing this situation, he immediately stood firm and ran away with Man Bao.
Man Bao burst into laughter.
Zhou Lang was furious and roared: "Bai Shan——"
Bai Erlang also took Yin or ran down the mountain.
When the four of them got off the mountain, Yin You couldn't breathe anymore. He bent down slightly to catch his breath, but his face was full of smiles. The breath he exhaled fogged up in front of his eyes and hit his face, making his eyes feel hazy.
Man Bao was overjoyed and saw that Zhou Liru and Zhou Lixue had gone to other places to look for firewood. She pointed in the direction of the village in front and said: "Let's move towards the direction of the village. Let's rush -"
It was impossible to rush, not only to take care of Yin You, but also because there was some ice on the road, so you couldn't run because you might slip if you were not careful.
Changshou was very nervous. He and Xu An were supporting Yin You, for fear that he would fall.
As Man Bao walked, he stretched out his feet and stamped on the thin layer of ice on the roadside, saying, "Why don't they know the ice? What if I fall?"
Bai Shan took a look at the distance between the village and here and said: "We have already left the village. Very few people come here in the winter, and it is not easy to distribute. That's why we didn't clean it."
