Sure enough, looking at Chen Yubin, who walked out dejectedly, Xiaoxi knew that his persuasion had failed.

Chen Yubin clenched his fists and smashed his leg hard, "Alas~ Grandpa is so old-fashioned, I told him, Mr. Zhao's house has been installed again, and no one is afraid, and this week, where is anyone to check, it is a lie at all, he just doesn't believe it, and he doesn't agree to install the "pot lid", alas~ I'm angry." ”

Xiaoxi looked at his gritted teeth and pouted and complained, it was very funny, and he couldn't see it if he couldn't see it, as for it. Alas~ The current Xiaoxi purely belongs to the kind of people who don't have back pain when they stand and talk, and she is not uncommon to watch these TV series now, but Chen Yubin hasn't watched it, all of them are rare.

She didn't want to think about it, when she hid the "pot lid" back then, she had to wait for Grandpa Chen to put the "pot lid" up again when she came back from vacation every week.

Time flies, and winter is quietly coming. The winter in the south is not as rough as in the north, but cold and lukewarm, but mixed with a domineering smell.

Xiaoxi reluctantly stopped writing, stretched out his frozen right hand to his mouth, took two breaths of hot air, thawed and thawed, and only began to write again when his fingers were more flexible.

Green pain is a kind of local saying here, and to describe the level of pain, it means that it is particularly painful.

Although he was wearing cotton shoes, he sat still, the heat of the idea was long gone, and his feet were frozen and he had no feeling, Xiaoxi stepped on his left foot with his right foot, and stepped on his right foot with his left foot, and he couldn't feel the pain anymore, so he had to stomp his feet gently, so as not to let his feet freeze so stiff.

It was so cold that Xiaoxi had to speed up her writing, and then hurriedly finished writing and threw it aside, took out a book and put it in her pockets, occasionally turning the pages. The right hand in his pocket was frozen, and he thought it was time to buy a pair of gloves, and in order to make it easier to write, he should buy gloves with missing fingers......

"Bell bell ......" The bell at the end of class pulled back Xiaoxi's empty thoughts, "Eh~ It's finally time for class, Xiaojuan, are you going out for a walk?" Xiaoxi stretched and twisted her stiff joints. Because there is no air conditioning or heating in the classroom, all the doors and windows of the classroom are closed in order to keep warm, so that the air is not circulated, and there are so many people sitting inside, and the smell in all the classrooms is not very good, and Xiaoxi wants to go out to breathe. And my feet are frozen, so I just go out and move around.

Originally, it was cold enough in the classroom, but it must be even colder outside, Zhao Juan hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, no, I won't go out, you can go." "At least the classroom was still a little hot. After speaking, Zhao Juan twisted her head back and retracted her neck into her collar.

Seeing that she really didn't want to go out, Xiaoxi stopped pulling hard, "Okay, I'll go out for a while and breathe." He picked up the thermos cup on the table and walked out. When passing by Chen Yubin's seat, I saw that the people were long gone, I guess I went to play outside, the boy always couldn't sit still, no matter how cold or hot the day was. Shaking the thermos cup on his table, there was no water, and Xiaoxi took his cup with him.

These two thermos cups were bought last year when I went to the mall with Chen's mother, and I was thinking about getting hot water to drink in winter.

Anyway, there were ten minutes between classes, and Xiaoxi slowly swung back to the dormitory, took out the key and opened the door. Because it is a mixed dormitory, each class elects a dormitory leader to manage the discipline of their class, and each dormitory leader is also equipped with a key to the dormitory door, and Xiaoxi only asked for the key from Wang Lingling (dormitory head) when he just left.

Taking out the kettle from under the bed, Xiaoxi carefully pointed the bottle and filled the two thermos cups with hot water (the school has no hot water except for the boiler room at night), because there are many places to use hot water, everything can not be wasted.

It's so cold that the faucet on the dishwasher behind the boiler room is basically frozen, so the master will put hot water before boiling it, and then put tap water after the ice has melted.

This rice steaming rice is nothing, but washing the lunch box after eating is a painful thing. It was so cold that a few people in the dormitory who bought a kettle washed their lunch boxes with hot water, just like Xiaoxi and them, while others who did not have a kettle had to endure washing with cold water. Girls are just fine, no matter how cold their hands are, they will clean their lunch boxes, but some boys, feel that the water is too cold to their hands, so they roughly flush the lunch boxes, and the rice stains are not washed at all, and they will be used to steam rice directly next time. In this case, Xiaoxi saw it several times, and was really speechless, how did they eat it.

Although the three of them have hot water kettles, because they eat together, Chen Yubin's hot water kettle is only used for him to wash his face and brush his teeth in the morning and soak his feet in the evening. Because his feet were so cold, he had to soak his feet every night to prevent frostbite.

Moreover, his hot water is sometimes used by the people in the dormitory, and all the streams do not let him take out the hot water and share it, but on the condition that he can use it for his buddies, but only if he has enough of it.

Therefore, Xiaoxi and Zhao Juan's two pots of hot water, in addition to their own washing, also include cleaning lunch boxes and a few cups of hot water three times a day. Although it was full every night, it was just enough.

After all, there is no preparation, when I go back from vacation this week, I will boil a few pots of boiling water and put it in the warehouse of the space, anyway, it will not change temperature and deteriorate, and this water will not shrink back.

With two thermos cups, the door was locked, and the creek slowly rushed back, and there were still a few minutes to go, and I walked around the playground before going upstairs.

"Well, the cup is filling you with water. When he returned to the classroom, he saw that Chen Yubin was already sitting in his seat, and Xiaoxi put the cup filled with hot water on the table.

Unscrew the cup and pour a lid of hot water, "Xiaojuan, come, drink a cup of hot water." ”

"Hee-hee, I knew you went back to your dorm room to pour hot water. As he spoke, he carefully took the lid of the cup in Xiaoxi's hand, held it in his hand to warm his hands first, and then drank it in small sips, "Well~ Xiaoxi is so delicious." Because of the small cup of hot water, the smile is very content.

Because there are too many fruits in the space, the creek dried some fruits, and the lemon soaking water is also delicious, so I also dried a lot of lemon slices, and this thermos cup added lemon slices, hawthorn slices, cherry slices and rock sugar, of course, it is delicious.

Creek they are undoubtedly happy. When I came home from school that day, as soon as I got to the intersection, I saw Grandpa Chen sitting outside the door of the stove room, scrubbing the creek and their dirty clothes.

Because they only have two or three sets of clothes, all their dirty clothes must be washed in time, but even if it is now a slack season, Grandpa Chen is busy every day and can't be idle at all. Only on Friday, the day of Xiaoxi's holiday, can Grandpa Chen spare some time to boil a few pots of hot water in the afternoon and wash the clothes of the two children and their old couple.

Why wait for Friday, because no matter how busy the family is, Grandpa Chen is at home on Friday afternoon, and he doesn't want his two children to come home and find that the door is locked and no one is there.

Although it is very cold in winter, the clothes that are washed on Friday are exposed to the sun for two days, and they must be put on when they leave on Sunday.

Putting the schoolbag on the big table, Xiaoxi went back to the sleeping house and quickly filled his grandfather's thermos cup with hot water. Grandpa Chen also has a thermos cup, which looks like an old object, I don't know how many years it has been used, the dark blue paint on the outside has been rubbed off a lot, and the tea stains on the inner tank can't be brushed off. Although it is an old object, it has been used for so many years, and it is still very insulated, and the quality of the things at that time was good.

"Grandpa, you can rest for a while and drink saliva. Xiaoxi took advantage of Grandpa Chen's stop stretching his waist and hurriedly held the cup and stepped up.

Grandpa Chen wiped his wet hands on his pants casually, took the cup, smiled with satisfaction, and praised: "Well, yes, Xiaoxi is really sensible and knows filial piety to grandpa." ”

Xiaoxi pouted his tail as soon as he was praised and raised his chin slightly, "That's, I've always been sensible." "You can praise me a few more words.

provoked Grandpa Chen to laugh, and helplessly pointed at her and scolded with a smile: "You little cub, I can't help but praise, praise you, your tail is going to puff up to the sky." ”

Chen Yubin also joined in the fun, and said with a smile: "Sister, be ashamed." He also scratched his cheek with his index finger.

Looking at the happy couple who were smiling, Xiaoxi pretended to be angry and "hummed" and turned her face away, ignoring them anymore.

After laughing for a while, Grandpa Chen unscrewed the lid of the cup and drank the "tea" with a "hiss".

They have three kinds of sauerkraut here, one is shredded and pickled, one is soaked, and the other is to break the whole cabbage leaves, blanch them in hot water first, the vegetable leaves are about seven ripe, scoop up one leaf and one leaf and stack them into the tank, then pour the acid water into it, flood the vegetable leaves, find a smooth stone, clean it, and press it on the vegetable leaves.

After being pickled for more than ten days, the sauerkraut is considered pickled. You can just do it, when you want to eat it, pick it up and cut it and fry it, but they choose another storage method.

Directly take out the whole horse, dry it in the sun for two days, and completely dry the water, and the sauerkraut will become a dried sauerkraut vegetable, which will be stored for a long time. When you eat it, just soak it in water, and the taste is very special.

Because there is no tea at home, this sour dried vegetable has become Grandpa Chen's "tea". Take out a stick of dried sauerkraut vegetables, break it into a section, throw it into a thermos cup, pour boiling water, and soak it in two or three minutes.

Xiaoxi likes this taste very much, sour, different from the acid of vinegar and lemon, and the acid of sauerkraut, this sour is faint, mixed with some other indescribable tastes, in short, it is delicious.

Smuggled into the space quite a bit. Because of the habit developed in his previous life, Xiaoxi holds a thermos cup all year round, and drinks "lemon" tea one day and "sauerkraut" tea one day.

After drinking two sips of hot water, Grandpa Chen remembered, twisted the lid of the cup, and asked the sisters and brothers on the side: "Xiaoxi, Binbin, are you hungry?

Xiaoxi hurriedly stopped his grandfather, who was about to get up, and refused: "Grandpa, no, we're not hungry yet." ”
