A winter passes

The wildflowers in the yard also withered.

After delivering the goods back home, Zhang Feng began to clean up the flowers and plants in the yard.

Pull out all the dried flowers and plants and prepare for planting new ones.

The morning glory on the east courtyard wall has long since withered and withered, leaving only dry branches and leaves to crawl on the wall, don't think that this morning glory is dead and will not bloom this year.

In fact, it has already left seeds before it withers, and as soon as spring arrives and one or two heavy rains fall, the morning glory seeds will take root and sprout again under the courtyard wall.

From the sprouts, they grow rapidly, climb all over the wall, and in April and May, they can bloom colorful morning glories.

Every year when the flowers bloom, the entire wall is covered with flowers, and from a distance, it looks like a beautiful picture, very beautiful.

Growing up watching the morning glory by the courtyard wall since he was a child, every time the morning glory blooms, Zhang Feng is happy, just like a friend who has been reunited for a long time, his heart is full of warmth and happiness.

Every time I see morning glory, I will think of the good memories of my childhood, and there is a kind of warmth of home, so Zhang Feng hopes that this morning glory can always live and reproduce on the courtyard wall forever.

After tidying up for about half an hour, Zhang Feng finally cleaned up the yard, and all kinds of dead branches and leaves in the garden were piled up in the corner.

Just as Gong Zizhen's poem said: Falling red is not a ruthless thing, turning into spring mud is more protective of flowers.

As long as it goes through a few storms, these dead branches and leaves will rot into mud and turn into nutrients for flowers and plants, making spring flowers and plants grow more lush and more beautiful.

The fallen stones were also re-placed on the wall by Zhang Feng, and the whole courtyard became refreshing again.

"It's finally done!!" Seeing the new garden, Zhang Feng nodded proudly,

I gave myself a cup of bitter tea, and drank it with a grunt, if the old man saw it, it was estimated that he would be heartbroken, thinking that Zhang Feng was a cow chewing peonies, and he was really blind to such a good tea.

But Zhang Feng was originally a layman, where there is so much mood, drinking tea is mainly to quench his thirst.

………………

Today is the middle of February.

The rainy season in the south is coming, so Zhang Feng also has to quickly check his roof tiles and re-cover the tiles that the wild cat trampled on to welcome the arrival of the rainy season.

Sandwiched a four- or five-meter-long ladder under the eaves, found two large stones to resist, and followed the wooden ladder, Zhang Feng climbed to the roof in three or two clicks.

At this time, Zhang Feng's movements were light and agile, like the first time he went to the roof, he cowered.

Thinking about that time, I stood on the roof trembling, my feet were weak, I didn't dare to straighten my waist, and my limbs were crawling on the roof tiles.

But now Zhang Fengyi is bold, and his body has not only been transformed by genetic fluid, but also strengthened by long-term gymnastics, and his physical fitness has improved more than ten times.

"Hehe, brother, you're going to go to the house to uncover the tiles, right??" Seeing Zhang Feng go up to the room to overhaul the roof, the little girl asked playfully.

"You girl, stay away from me, and the tiles I threw down will hit you later. Zhang Feng shook his head with a wry smile, and then said.

"Hee-hee, got it, brother!"

More than half a year has passed since the last overhaul.

Anyone who has lived in a tiled house knows that every year when the cat is in spring, it will chase and fight on the roof, so the tiles in the house must suffer, and every time it will be stepped on in a mess.

Therefore, every year around the Chinese New Year, at the latest before the rainy season, the villagers will rush to overhaul the roof tiles, replace the broken tiles, or re-cover the tiles that have slipped apart.

"Satsuki helped me hand me two good tiles!" Since there are many broken tiles, there are not enough tiles on the roof.

Without waiting for his sister to react, Zhang Feng hurriedly said: "Forget it, I'll come down and get it myself!"

Let Zhang Yue climb such a high roof, Zhang Feng was not at ease, so he decided to come down and get it himself.

Hearing Zhang Feng's words, Zhang Yue also breathed a sigh of relief, if she really asked her to help, she didn't know what to do, seeing such a high roof, her legs were weak, and her fear of heights was probably scared out.

There are a lot of black tiles piled up under the eaves on the west side, and these tiles are left over when they are used, and the roof can be replaced now.

With more than a dozen tiles in one hand and a ladder in the other, Zhang Feng slowly climbed towards the roof.

After more than half an hour of hard work, Zhang Feng finally finished overhauling the tiles on the roof.

Even if the rainy season comes, there is no need to worry about rain leakage at home.

"Okay, it's finally done!" Climbing down the stairs and looking at the new roof, Zhang Feng proudly patted the dust on his hands, and then said.

"Hehe, our family is done, what about Sister Yiyi's family?" the little girl immediately said with a smile.

"Eh, don't you say I forgot?" Zhang Feng suddenly patted his head, the old man's family must be repaired, otherwise it will definitely leak after a long time.

And in addition to Yiyi's family, there is another family that also needs their own help, that is, the newly built house of Old Man Zhou.

"Xiaoyue, you clean up the broken tiles in the yard, and I'll go to Yiyi's house to overhaul it. Commanding his sister, Zhang Feng carried the stairs and walked towards the old man's house.

The houses of the two old men's houses were newly renovated last year, so the roof tiles were not damaged, and Zhang Feng only spent half an hour to complete the repair of the two houses.

Then the yard was cleaned, and the broken tiles that were sifted out were still in the corner, Zhang Feng carried the ladder, closed the door, and then returned home.

"Brother, shall we fry chestnuts later?" Zhang Feng had just sat down to rest for less than two minutes, and the little girl walked out with a small bag of chestnuts at some point, and asked Zhang Feng with a look of anticipation.

"Okay, just call me when you're ready. Although he knew that the little girl must have fried chestnuts for him to eat, Zhang Feng still deliberately pretended to be confused and teased this greedy little girl.

"Oh, if I want to be able to fry, do I still use you??" Knowing that the eldest brother was teasing herself, the little girl suddenly cocked her mouth and said angrily.

"Hehe, okay, you go get two knives, let's cut the chestnut first. Zhang said with a smile.

"Hee-hee-......" The little girl happily ran to the kitchen, and after a while, she ran out with two kitchen knives.

"Be careful, don't chop your hands!" Seeing the little girl holding a knife, Zhang Feng was a little worried, so he hurriedly admonished.

"I know, it's not like I haven't chopped it, it's so simple......," the little girl pouted and said disapprehantly.

Due to the long storage, these chestnuts have rotted a lot, almost one-third of them are rotten and moldy, and when the chestnut shell is cut, the meat inside has turned into lime-like white, and when you grind it with your fingers, it will turn into powder in an instant.

After careful selection by the brother and sister, only three or four catties of intact chestnuts remained.
