Chapter 26 It’s Snowing (please collect and recommend)
Li Hongbin took away half a fan of pork. He took out the money to buy the pork and handed it to Zhang Jianguo. Zhang Jianguo said he didn't take it.
He said he would give it to his godson, but he didn’t take it in the end anyway.
Unexpectedly, Li Hongbin came to the countryside again this morning.
As soon as I arrived, I dragged Zhang An to the grain drying field because this guy brought a big refrigerator.
The feeling is that the pork family confiscated his money yesterday. He saw that Zhang An's house did not have a refrigerator, so he directly bought a refrigerator and sent it to Zhang An's house.
Zhang Jianguo originally didn't want to accept it, but Zhang Jianguo also refused, but people said that if he didn't accept it, he would be treated as an outsider.
"Uncle, just accept it. I hope you always give me half a pig, but if you don't, I'll buy you a refrigerator. Just accept it, otherwise you won't treat us as your own."
In the end I couldn't refuse, so I accepted it.
Zhang An has also thought clearly that this money is just a drop of money to the big family Li, and he treats it as a wealthy family.
Now the word spread in the village, everyone said that Zhang An met a rich man and gave someone half a fan of pork the first day, and the next day they returned a big refrigerator.
The words are very sour.
The more than 100 kilograms of pork that Li Hongbin brought back was distributed to several of his foremen, and there was still a lot left.
They kept these for themselves. After all, they had just eaten it and they knew that the meat was much better than the meat outside.
...
Unconsciously, winter has been here for a long time, the weather is getting colder and colder, and it is estimated that it will snow in the next two days.
There was a lot of pork left at home to be used for bacon, so after Zhang An got up that day, he had to go up the mountain to collect firewood and bring it back to smoke the bacon.
There are a lot of people collecting firewood in the mountains now, because every household has to smoke it.
Some people are more particular about it, so they go to the mountains to cut arborvitae branches and smoke them. People who are not very particular about it just burn whatever they encounter.
The difference is that the meat smoked by Platycladus arborvitae not only has a fragrant aroma, but also looks golden on the surface.
In fact, pine trees can also be used, but the smoked pine branches will make them a little black and not so pretty.
Other dry firewood is more common, but now the smoked meat is eaten at home and will not be sold unless given away, so I don’t care that much.
Zhang An followed Zhang Jianguo up the mountain for a walk, and early in the morning he cut a bunch of arborvitae strips and carried them back.
Zhang An was very insensitive to the process of smoking meat. He didn't want to stay by the fire pit and watch the bacon because the smoke was too smoky.
But my father didn't seem to have any feelings for these cigarettes, so in the end the project was handed over to his old man, and Zhang An was lazy.
Since the weather has gotten colder, the ducks have not gone to the river again.
They all stayed at home obediently, and Wang Fang would feed them every day anyway.
Only the big dark horse in the circle didn't get used to it, because it originally had two roommates. After Zhang An took it out for a trip that day, he came back only to find that his roommates were gone.
As expected, Twolegs are not so easy to mess with. You must be obedient and try your best when working in the future, otherwise it would be terrible if one day he suddenly disappears like your roommate.
There is no green grass in winter, so Zhang An naturally has no excuse to bring out the green grass in the space for the big dark horse to enjoy.
But Wang Fang liked the big dark horse's performance at home this year. Not only did he carry a lot of piggyback, but he was also obedient.
So after winter came, Wang Fang was not stingy and ate the corn every day.
Although corn is not as fragrant as the grass in the space, some are good to eat. Big Dark Horse still knows it well and is not picky.
What it doesn't know is that in other people's homes, the animals eat straw in the winter, so there is no food to feed them.
That night, white snowflakes floated in the sky.
Of course, Zhang An was already dreaming in bed at this time.
When I woke up the next day, it was already snowy white outside.
The entire mountain forest was completely uniform, and there was still heavy snowfall.
It's better now, the snowflakes are so clean now.
Although it snows every winter in my hometown in later generations, it is not so heavy and the number of snowfalls is getting less and less. It is just empty ice.
The children in the village all ran outside to play in the snow, but they were quickly punished by the adults at home.
Because each of them doesn't have much clothes now, and they have to change their clothes and pants when they get wet while playing in the snow, for fear of catching a cold.
Zhang An also became more playful, picked up the shovel and started playing in the yard.
For most of the day, I built a big snowman half as tall as myself.
This was seen by Zhang Tie who came to Zhang An's house to play. He always envied his eldest brother for playing in the snow, and his uncle and aunt didn't even tell him.
The heavy snow fell continuously for one day and two nights, and finally stopped during the day the next day.
Going down further, the road is blocked.
Although the crops in the fields are covered with heavy snow, the farmers are very happy.
As the saying goes, auspicious snow heralds a good year, and next year will be another good year.
When the accumulated snow melts, it will penetrate into the ground, adding not only water content to the ground, but also some trace elements in the snow.
The most important thing is that the cold snow will directly freeze to death the pests on the crops.
That’s why there is a saying that auspicious snow heralds a good harvest.
"Brother An, what are you doing? If nothing happens, let's go to the mountain to find rabbits."
Zhang An was already bored, but now Zhang Bin from his second uncle's family came and called him, so he would definitely not be able to sit still.
After finding the tools, the brothers headed towards the mountains.
Zhang Tie is definitely indispensable. This guy can't stay at home and likes to hang out outside.
The snow was so heavy that the road on the mountain was no longer visible, and some short prickly pear pods were buried under the heavy snow.
However, in such an environment, it is easier for everyone to find traces of hares.
Of course, the three tigers in the family are indispensable. They have usually caught a lot of hares and brought them home. After all, chasing dogs and hunting rabbits is considered orthodox.
Zhang An found several places where hares were active and began to lay traps.
Most of the hares in the mountains have gray fur, and sometimes it's hard to spot them in the white snow.
After being tricked several times, Zhang An stopped continuing.
I don’t know if it was during the day or for some other reason, but I found rabbit footprints in several places, but I never saw them.
On the contrary, the two brothers Zhang Bin actually picked up a frozen rabbit. Their bodies were so hard that they must have been frozen to death last night.
The further they walked into the mountains, the more footprints they saw. Zhang An even saw traces of mountain deer. The footprints were somewhat blurry as they went all the way into the mountains, but Zhang An did not pursue them.
Suddenly, Zhang An heard a noise, looked for the sound and went over to see the three tigers making an attack gesture under a huge rock.
Zhang An walked over and took a look, and saw a small mountain deer lying under a stone, letting out a fragile whine.
Zhang An probably fell behind when the herd of deer moved.
The body is so small that it is about the same size as a local dog, but its legs are longer. It should be a newly born fawn.
Zhang An calmed down the big dogs at home, and then walked up to check on the little deer. His body was a little cold. If he hadn't been discovered by the three tigers, he would have froze to death soon.
There was no one around. Based on the principle that saving the deer's life was better than building a seven-level pagoda, Zhang An directly took the deer into the space.
