Chapter 253: Late Autumn and Early Winter
The nights are cool, and the late autumn nights already have a winter feel, especially in the villages at the foot of the mountains, which feel like they have entered the winter season.
At night, a cold wind hits, the cold people can't help but shiver, people gradually reduce the night outing, the streets in the village are becoming quieter and quieter, even the usual dog in the village is gone, occasionally a cat shadow on the wall of someone's house appears, but soon disappears.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the sky is getting darker and earlier, and before six o'clock in the evening, the sky is dark, and every house is lit up early, and one by one it looks very warm in the dark night.
In the small village, here, the family sits on the kang large and small, while knocking melon seeds, while watching TV happily, and from time to time bursts of laughter, adults and children are mixed together, it is really a happy scene.
Over there, the woman with a feather duster in her hand chased and beat her naughty son who kept dodging in front of her, and for a while she only heard the boy "Mom, I was wrong, I didn't dare, Mom, I don't dare to ...... anymore", the boy's cry for mercy did not satisfy the woman, the woman pulled the troublemaker who was finally caught, waved the feather duster with her big hand, and slapped the boy's ass one after another, as if every beat could make the disobedient son have a long memory.
There was such a big movement in the yard, and the neighbors seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and it was not their own children who were beating left and right, and it was none of their own business to fight what they did, so they stretched their necks and listened to the movement, and went back to the house directly.
Gu family, the old man sent his grandchildren back to the backyard, after checking the firewood in the kang cave enough to stay overnight, told the big brother An to cover the quilt for Brother Hao at night, and called Brother Hao to get up at night, and said that reading books at night hurt their eyes, let them go to bed early, Gu Sisi and his brother nodded one by one, even Brother Hao, who had begun to be sleepy, seemed to tell his grandfather not to kick the quilt at night, to sleep obediently, and only listened to the old man's smile There are a few more folds on his face.
The sensible grandchildren made the old man temporarily forget the unpleasant things caused by the unfilial daughter, Gu Sisi watched the old man walk into the night, and then went back to the house with his brother, of course, Brother Hao followed his brother and trotted back to the house, and there were words in his mouth, "Brother, last night I said that Nezha waved the Chaotian Silk and stepped on the Hot Wheels to make trouble in the East China Sea, did the Dragon Prince come out and win the fight with him?"
Immediately afterwards, Gu Xing'an asked: "Who do you think Haohao can win? We Haohao really want to know the result, right? Then hurry into the bed, and my brother will continue to tell you." ”
Gu Sisi couldn't help but smile when he heard the conversation between his younger brother and his elder brother, Hao Hao was still napping just now, and he was going to sleep at this time, and he actually came to the spirit, and the child's heart was really incomprehensible.
Gu Sisi, who returned to his room, sorted out his schoolbag, closed the door, closed the curtains, and got into the quilt in the next second.
Basically, every family in the village keeps the ondol, one is the ondol to burn firewood to keep warm, the other is the habit of the old people to follow, of course, there are young people in the village who smashed the ondol, bought a bed and Simmons came back, I feel that it looks better than the ondol grade, atmosphere, but in the cold winter, Simmons's warmth effect is still not as affordable as the ondol.
Gu Sisi covered his hands in the quilt for a while, and then it warmed up, now the night is fine, it will not freeze to the face, and when it is the coldest time, sometimes the night will freeze people with a headache, and the face is cold and out of temperature. Thinking about the cold day, Gu Sisi's brows furrowed, she still prefers summer to winter, although hot people sweat in summer, and tanned people, but it is also better than cold winter, especially in winter, when it snows heavily, it is white everywhere, sometimes the road is slippery, and the mountains can't go, except for those pine trees are green, most of the others are bare, and they look a little depressed.
However, the people in the village still prefer winter, winter wheat is a kind, and there is no farm work to do, just rest and rest in winter, accumulate physical strength and wait for the spring of the next year. Some people who can't be idle will take advantage of the time before the Spring Festival to go out to do odd jobs and save a few small money, so as to have a sufficient New Year's Festival, after all, once the New Year comes, it will cost a lot of money to visit relatives and friends.
Here, Mu Yingying and her mother are sitting on the hot kang, holding an embroidered bandage on the table lamp, and are burying their heads in embroidery work. Since Mu Yingying's father went out to do renovation work for others, she slept with her mother at night. The relationship between mother and daughter is also closer than before, and Mu Yingying's dependence on her mother is getting deeper and deeper, which is a good thing for Zhou Xing, after all, her daughter is her mother's most intimate little padded jacket.
Zhou Xing looked at the embroidered serious daughter, a touch of distress flashed on her face, if it weren't for this situation at home, her daughter would not grow up overnight, obviously her daughter is a carefree age, but she already knows how to share her hard work, sensible to make her mother distressed, think about other people's daughters, and then look at her own daughters suffering from the cocoons on her hands, Zhou Xing's heart became more and more uncomfortable.
"Yingying, is there a midterm exam in a few days? Don't do this embroidery work tomorrow, Mom will do it, I want to think that this embroidery is very difficult, who knows that it is not so difficult to get started." Fortunately, there is no farm work, and my mother also has time to take care of these, so you can rest assured that you can study, and don't think about anything else, there is a mother, you know?"
"Mom, don't worry, I can tell the difference, it won't affect my reading. Recently, Sisi has also helped me in school, I think I am much easier to study now than before, this time the exam is definitely no problem, but I definitely can't pass the Sisi test. ”
"Yes, Sisi is so powerful?"
"Well, even Shanshan and Wan'er, I don't feel like I can compare to Sisi. ”
"In this way, it is also the child's family that one of the older brothers is in high school, and the other brother is in junior high school, so they will tutor her in her studies. You don't have a brother to help you, and even more so the sons of your uncles...... Sisi's child is kind-hearted, you have to learn from her good, and you must remember her good, we can't be wolf-hearted. ”
"Mom, I know, Sisi is my good friend, now, in the future, and in the future, only if she doesn't recognize me as a friend, I will never do anything to hurt friendship. ”
"Okay, you can rest assured that you have a number of mothers in your heart. It's not too early, pack up and go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow, Mom will make dumplings for you and your brother tomorrow, don't delay after school in the morning, come back early. ”
