The others were not as tolerant as Ah Hu's mother, and they were all secretly uneasy. They were waiting at home for Cheng Tianyuan to come back, feeling complicated and sad.
Several children originally clamored to go out to play, but Ahu refused.
"Suddenly there was a strong wind after noon, and large black clouds came over. Judging from the situation, it is probably going to snow heavily. It is best not to go out. The roads here are not easy to walk. If there is a snowstorm, it will be very unsafe."
The children were inevitably a little disappointed and turned back upstairs to continue watching cartoons.
Xiao Yue felt sleepy and ran down to find Mother Xue.
Xue's father prepared half a bottle of milk powder for him to drink. The little guy snuggled into Xue's mother's arms and fell asleep after drinking it.
"Mom." Xue Ling whispered, "Take Xiaoyue to sleep and sleep for a while."
Mother Xue said "...oh oh!" twice and wanted to reach out to hug her - but she quickly relaxed.
"Um...Old Xue, come and hold me."
She didn't know what happened, maybe she was frightened, but now her whole body felt weak and she had no strength at all.
"I'll do it." Xue Ling fended off her father, leaned down and picked up Xiao Yue, and then went upstairs.
Xue's father and mother didn't even have the strength to climb the stairs. They sat on the sofa and were in very low spirits.
Cheng Muhai cried for a while, not daring to cry aloud and always sobbing quietly.
Ahu sat next to him and comforted him in a low voice.
After crying, Liu Ying couldn't bear the dizziness, so she turned around and went into the house to lie down and rest.
After Xue Ling sent Xiao Yue to rest, he found that the window outside the window was getting darker and darker.
It looks like there will be a snowstorm or heavy rain in the evening.
Xue Ling came downstairs and asked, "Ahu, do you want to stay here tonight? It's probably going to rain or snow outside."
Ahu shook his head: "No, if we stay, you won't have enough room to sleep. Anyway, it only takes ten minutes to get back to the county. I'll get there by stepping on the accelerator for a while, so don't worry."
Wang Qing said warmly: "We all plan to stay at night, so we didn't bring any clothes to change. It's okay. We'll go back when A Yuan comes back."
Xue Ling took the hot water kettle and poured water to boil.
"The weather is getting colder. Let's drink something warm."
Mother Xue was uneasy and whispered: "Ling, should we... go back to the imperial capital first? What I mean is - take the children back first."
Xue Ling knew that his mother was frightened by the murder that had just happened. It happened not far away, and the person who died was Chang Bo, who was very familiar to everyone. She was sad and scared that it was inevitable.
"Mom, when Ayuan comes back, I will discuss it with him."
Chang Bo is A Yuan's clan uncle. Logically speaking, if Chang Bo's family had to hold a funeral, A Yuan and his parents-in-law would naturally have to stay.
The current situation is so special, and I don’t know how well A Yuan and the others have discussed it with the village chief.
It's better to wait until his backbone comes back before making other plans.
Mother Xue patted her chest, frowned and sighed: "Whenever I think about this, I feel dizzy and my head hurts..."
"Stop thinking about it." Dad Xue whispered: "You were suddenly frightened. You can't think about it any more. The more you think about it, the more uncomfortable you will feel."
Xue Ling looked up at the kitchen and found Ahu's mother busy in the kitchen. Her tall and thin back was very energetic, and she couldn't help but secretly envy her.
To have such a high psychological quality, I have to say that I am a master!
The sky was getting darker and darker, and the north wind was blowing and howling non-stop.
"Mom!" Xue Yang carried Xiao Yue downstairs and shouted: "Grandpa! Grandma! Xiao Yue woke up!"
Xue Ling was immediately startled when he saw that the little guy was only wearing a sweater and no coat. He rushed over and hugged Xiao Yue, took off his coat and wrapped it around the still sleepy little guy.
"Yangyang! Go and take off your brother's coat."
Xue Yang ran back.
After a while, he took off Xiao Yue's coat and explained with a smile: "Xiao Xin fell asleep halfway through watching TV."
Xue Ling quickly took the coat and put it on Xiao Yue.
"Xiaoxin is asleep, have you put some quilt on her?"
Xue Yang shrugged and asked, "Where can I find a little quilt?"
Xue Ling glared at him angrily, handed Xiao Yue to his parents, turned around and hurried upstairs.
I saw Xiaoxin nestled on the armrest of the leather sofa, sleeping soundly. Fortunately, the leather sofa was warm and she didn't feel cold.
However, the temperature outside is dropping sharply, so we really can't be careless.
She went into the room and got a small quilt, then helped her daughter adjust her sleeping position, took off her little coat, and then covered her with the quilt.
Xiaoxin changed her position and fell into a comfortable sleep.
"Mom!" Xiao Chong came over and nestled on her shoulder, "I'm hungry, I want a snack."
Xue Ling had no choice but to go downstairs in a hurry to find something to eat.
Several old people were busy grieving, and A Yuan was not here either, making her who usually didn't do much housework very busy.
Ahu and Wang Qing were packing their things and getting ready to go home, while Xiaohu and his sister were busy playing hide-and-seek with Xue Yang.
Suddenly, there was a crackling sound outside!
Xue Ling was startled. It sounded like something was being smashed. It was dense and numerous, and the frequency was very high.
What's going on here?!
"mom!"
"mom!"
"dad!"
The sudden strangeness frightened several children, and they ran in panic.
Xue's father and mother were startled. They quickly climbed up and sat up, shouting in panic: "What...what's wrong?!"
"Hail!" Ah Hu shouted: "It's hailing outside!"
Ahu's mother said "Wow!", holding the little tiger with one hand and her granddaughter with the other, "It's okay! Don't go out! Don't go out!"
When Xue Ling heard it was hail, he breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Don't even go out!"
Ranran was the most sensitive. At this time, he was already standing on the sofa, leaning on the window and exclaimed: "Wow! Oh my God! So much ice!"
After hearing this, the other children rushed forward, stuck behind him, and poked their heads out to look out.
"Wow! So many!"
"Oh my god! It's all ice cubes!"
"So little!"
"No! There is a big piece! Look! That piece is as big as a fist!"
Xue's father and mother also looked at the window and said in surprise: "I didn't expect there would be hail today! Isn't there a lot of hail here? Is it winter?"
Ahu Ma shook her head and said suspiciously: "No, not much. At most once every few years. The last time there was hail was seven or eight years ago. Oh! Look at how loud the noise is!"
Xue Ling couldn't help but frown: "Why are you still continuing? If it is smashed like this... I guess those adobe houses will not be able to withstand it, right?"
"The hail cannot last long." Ahu said: "Look! It's not that big anymore, it's obviously getting smaller."
Cheng Muhai held his head and shook his head: "It's terrible... it's terrible..."
"Dad." Xue Ling supported him and whispered: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't stand. Sit down first and I'll pour you a glass of hot water."
Cheng Muhai let out a long sigh and looked at the hail on the ground in the yard outside.
"Such a big hail will definitely damage many adobe houses... Nearly half of the people in the village still live in adobe houses..."
Ahu quickly comforted him: "Dad, don't worry. This adobe house is covered with tiles. It's not difficult to repair. Just buy some new tiles and put them on. Look, the hail is almost gone."
Liu Ying came out sleepy and confused, shouting: "What's going on? Why is it so noisy?"
"Godmother! It's hailing outside!"
"Grandma! There's a lot of ice!"
"Ah! Mom! Our windows were all smashed with a mark!"
Xue Ling hurriedly said: "Don't get too close to the window, stay away!"
After hearing this, Ah Hu suddenly remembered something, hurriedly opened the door and ran out, shouting: "My car!"
Wang Qing became anxious, stamping his feet and shouting: "Come back quickly! Don't hit your head! How can you stop such a big car when you go out! Come back quickly!"
