"Grandma, go to sleep first. I peeled the chestnuts and let them out to dry tomorrow morning. "The light in the house was dim, almost as bright as the moonlight in the courtyard outside.

However, for Xiao Fang, such light is bright enough.

After all, she always sews clothes in broad daylight and never sews at night, so she doesn't need to thread needles and threads, and she doesn't need too bright light.

A five-watt energy-saving lamp hangs in the center of the living room, and the light is scattered on all sides, part of the light is blocked by the wall, part of the light pours into the dark rooms with open doors from the narrow doorway, and some of the light runs from the door of the living room to the courtyard, blending with the moonlight outside, forming a whole.

"Xiaofang, let's peel it again tomorrow, it's ten o'clock, rest early." "Grandma is already in bed.

Xiao Fang leaned against the door frame of her grandmother's door, showed a mouthful of white teeth, looked at her grandmother with a smile and said, "Grandma, it's okay, you sleep first, I can finish peeling it in half an hour." ”

"Alas, you child, you are always disobedient, and you always don't listen to you when you are told to go to bed early. Grandma babbled, lay down, covered with a thick quilt, leaned sideways, facing the wall, a little angry, "Close the door, it's too bright, I can't sleep." ”

"Okay, grandma, you go to bed early, I'm going to eat burnt rice tea tomorrow morning, you remember to cook it for me." ”

"I know, you've said it five or six times today, you're so verbose at a young age, who will dare to ask you in the future. Go peel your chestnuts, finish them early, go to bed early, you know?"

"Got it, got it. Xiao Fang said with a grin, stretched out her hand, and gently closed the door.

Although the movement was very light, the wooden door still made a creaking sound.

The voice was loud in the quiet of the night.

Xiao Fang was slightly frightened, her eyes widened, and her palm was slightly forced, raising the wooden door a little higher, and then continuing to bring it back.

In this way, the lower edge of the wooden door no longer rubs against the threshold, and the sound is gone.

Bring the door, turn around and look at the half basket of chestnuts, the head is a little big.

It's impossible to peel these chestnuts in half an hour.

However, she had to finish it again tonight.

Because the winter solstice is not long away, it is time to make some pastries or glutinous rice cakes.

Although the family is not wealthy, Xiaofang will always prepare a lot of delicious things for every festival.

She didn't want to show off, she just wanted her grandmother to eat more delicious food, and at the same time, so that her grandmother, who had worked hard for herself for more than ten years, could speak harder in front of old ladies and old men of the same age.

After every holiday, there will always be a lot of delicious things left at home, and then grandma will bring some of her old friends to the house to cook oil tea to eat.

Every time everyone sits around and eats the delicious food made by her granddaughter, everyone will always praise her in her old age.

Many people say that she is bitter first and then sweet, and has raised such a good granddaughter.

Every time she came to this link, Grandma would always smile like a flower.

This upcoming winter solstice, Xiaofang still wants to make some zongzi.

Originally, she planned to make zongzi on October 15 before, because at that time, she happened to pick a lot of wild chestnuts in the mountains. However, at that time, I thought that I was making zongzi on the fifth day of May and July 15, and it seemed a little greasy to wrap zongzi on October 15.

Therefore, on October 15, the rice dumplings were not wrapped, so these mountain chestnuts were forgotten in the utility room.

As a result, these mountain chestnuts that have not been dried in the sun have been left for some time and are now a little moldy.

Fortunately, the shell is a little moldy, as long as the shell is peeled off, washed and then dried, it should still be similar to fresh.

Therefore, she must peel and wash these mountain chestnuts as soon as possible, and then put them in the sun early tomorrow morning.

If she peels it tomorrow, it will delay her to work in the mountains, so she can only stay up late and work overtime.

After turning off the TV, Xiaofang sat back on the small bench and continued to peel chestnuts.

The night outside the courtyard seemed to be very long, and there were no chickens and ducks in the silent courtyard, only a few whispers came from the chicken coop from time to time.

The moonlight climbed over the wall and spread gently in the spacious courtyard, as if a young man did not hesitate to take advantage of the cold wind and night to see the girl he liked, quietly lying on the wall, looking at the girl he liked from afar.

Looking at the wall, Xiaofang smiled bitterly, thinking, just a girl like her, not to mention that no one is lying on the wall to watch, it is estimated that there is not even a person who has a good impression of her.

The family is too poor, not only does they not have decent furniture, but they also have to support an elderly grandmother, which is not a cost-effective thing for ordinary boys in the mountains. This is one of the reasons.

She's too ordinary. Although she loves beauty, she has no capital to become beautiful. The hair is a long, original jet-black curly, except at night, when he comes back from the field or from the mountains, this long jet-black hair is always stained with dead leaves and grass seeds.

Her clothes are all from previous years, and as long as they are not rotten enough to be worn, she always wears them.

Although she would pin a pair of cheap pearl stud earrings to her ears and apply a little colored lip balm to her dry lips, these cheap things were nothing compared to other girls' fashions.

Although the mountain village is a mountain village, those girls who are only a few years older than her and work outside always come home, and they always look like female stars on TV.

In such a strong contrast, Xiaofang looks like a living village girl.

Who doesn't love beauty?

Although she is only eighteen years old, she also knows that everyone will love beauty and will desire beautiful things. So, no one will lean on her wall.

Nothing but moonshine.

However, for these nihilistic things, Xiao Fang didn't care. Now she just wants to peel the mountain chestnuts quickly, and then go to bed early, and go into the mountains early tomorrow to dig yams.

Yams are hard to find now.

"Don't think about digging yams, burn more charcoal. Liu Qingshan drove Tan Dasha back to the village.

When Mrs. Tan saw her son coming back, she was slightly excited at first, and then she suddenly grabbed the bamboo branch on the side, and without saying a word, she hit Tan Dasha: "You loser, how many times have you been told to stop fooling around, you just don't listen." ”

"Mom, Mom, I know it's wrong. Tan Dasha was slapped hard by his mother, and he jumped up immediately in pain.

Liu Qingshan stood aside and said with a gloating smile: "Grandma Tan, work harder, otherwise he won't have a long memory." ”

"Qingshan, you villain, don't stop my mom quickly. Tan Dasha didn't dare to fight back with his mother, so he could only ask Liu Qingshan for help.
