Zhou Shujie, who fell asleep again, did not sleep so peacefully.

The sound of falling snow outside and the burning of the stove in the house had been disturbing her.

So she had a dream, a long, long dream.

In the dream, she returned to the world she had been.

Experienced those moments that made her so painful again.

When she watched her daughter die, there was nothing she could do. , can only cry heartbreakingly.

Her son is frail and sickly, and her best efforts are useless.

She herself was emaciated and sick, and died early.

She cried and laughed in those memories, and now she is not heartbroken when she watches the memories flash by one and shine.

She told herself in her heart that this was only once, and now her children were sleeping beside her.

The images of her memories continued to fast-forward, and she saw the moments that made her feel inferior.

She is a rural person, and she has never gone to school, and everything she has learned is what her grandfather taught her.

When your husband's official position is getting higher and higher, you want to say that she is not inferior, that is false.

She also avoided the facts, did not take the initiative to listen, did not take the initiative to see, did not go to any activities, and did not go to those meetings.

But it didn't work, there were still some rumors that would reach her ears.

Since it's rumor, there's definitely nothing good to hear.

Like: "This daughter-in-law looks quite ordinary, and she is not worthy of a general." ”

Like: "There are young and beautiful female doctors next to the general, I don't know what their relationship is, but I look quite close." ”

Once she heard these words, she was sad in her own heart and closed herself at home.

Therefore, she has never had any friends after living in the capital for so many years.

But now in her dreams, she feels relieved when she experiences this.

The new experience of this life gave her great courage and made her no longer feel inferior.

In the future, if anyone dares to say such things in front of her, she will dare to go up and reason with her.

When I woke up from my dream, the sky was bright.

When she opened her eyes and looked at the sleeping children beside her, she closed her eyes again and said goodbye to her in her heart.

The wisp of panic that had been haunting her heart and didn't know how to place it disappeared in this instant.

Once is called once because it has passed.

Zhou Shujie, let go of everything, just look at the present, and don't care about anything else.

I put it down, and when I opened my eyes and looked up, I felt that this old room was also bright, maybe my heart was open, and everything was bright.

Raising her hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for the child, she got up and put on her own cotton jacket, cotton pants and big cotton shoes.

His hair was braided into a large braid, coiled at the back of his head.

I got off the ground, washed my hands, wiped my face, and brushed my teeth.

Then I was ready to make a fire and cook.

She had already had enough firewood for last night, and all the ingredients for cooking were in the house, so it wasn't until she had finished her meal that she remembered to open the door to see how heavy the snow was outside.

I once heard someone sing, "When you get up in the morning and open the door, you feel beautiful." But Zhou Shujie's mood was not very beautiful at the moment she pushed the door, because she didn't push it, only a little gap was exposed, and she looked out from the palm-wide gap.

Oh my mother! The snow outside is half a meter deep! This is really a heavy snowfall!

With mental preparation, I used hard work to push open the door blocked by snow and open the gap that was only large enough for a person to enter and exit sideways.

Zhou Shujie picked up the shovel standing by the wall and squeezed it out of the crack, and stood outside in the ice and snow.

This snow is really too big, I didn't expect a snow to fall to a depth of half a meter, and such a big snow can be seen at this age. I remember that there was no such heavy snow in the later winters, and sometimes it even did not snow in the north and it snowed in the south.

It took a lot of effort for her to sweep the four roads from the door to the chicken coop, from the door to the well, from the door to the toilet, and from the door to the gate.

It's still the kind of little hairy road that can only walk alone.

When he had finished clearing, there was movement in the house, and the child and mother-in-law got up.

When he opened the door and entered the house, he put down his shovel, swept the snow off his trousers, and took a broom to put down the snow stuck to the edge of his shoes. (At that time, I wore cotton shoes made by hand in the countryside, which were not waterproof at all.) ）

When Zhou Shujie entered the back room, the two children were very happy.

I saw that there was long hoarfrost on the sides of my mother's hat and neck, and even on my eyelashes, like a live-action snowman, giggling for the two children.

Grandma was also amused by the joyful appearance of the two little grandchildren.

Zhou Shujie looked in the mirror and looked at his current appearance, and he also smiled.

The life of the day began in such a joyous atmosphere.

Don't look at the days when the snow is closed and there is no way to go out, so you can only stay at home.

Zhou Shujie didn't feel bored at all, and her mood was still exceptionally good.

Since you can't go out, find a way to get something delicious at home.

After thinking and meditating for a long time, I remembered a few small snacks.

If there are too many ingredients and the process is too complicated, there will only be two or three fried foods left.

And on top, put sugar, fried half a basin with noodles, and fried half a basin of burnt leaves.

It is mainly for two children, and there is no sugar on the outside, but when the noodles are mixed, there is only a slight sweetness.

This thing is very good, and it can knock your teeth and take up some stomach.

The remaining oil was used by Zhou Shujie to fry the meat.

Half a pot of fat and lean pork belly cut into stopper pieces. Put salt, peppercorns, and monosodium glutamate to marinate. There were no eggs, so I had to add a little cold boiled water to them. Put the dry flour on the noodles and hang the batter, and throw them into the oil pan one by one and fry them.

After two passes, it was completely done, and the freshly fried thing was particularly fragrant.

When they entered the house, the child and the mother-in-law both ate several pieces, and even the two children said that it was delicious.

smashed most of the day's things, and the children and adults were full. Dinner was just a simple boil of white porridge and a little pickles.

I had dinner just after dark, and it wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening that I turned off the dim light and put the children to sleep.

If you go to bed early, you are afraid that the child will not be able to digest what she eats.

It is said that the light is dim because the voltage is insufficient.

Nowadays, people may not have seen what is called insufficient voltage.

At that time, this was a common occurrence, and with it power outages.

Every year, there will be a period of power outage a few days before the festival, so that the lights of each house can be brightened during the New Year's Festival.

In my memory, there were many scenes of my mother sitting in the dim light making shoes for us.

Sometimes because the light is too dim to see clearly, we put things in front of our eyes and look carefully, for fear that the shoes will be damaged and we will be uncomfortable to wear.
