Qin Xiaoyu thought for a while and said, "It's okay, what is missing, I can go out with Guoguo, and I have to go out when it's cold, or Xiaoguoguo will go crazy at home." ”

Luo Zhan couldn't help but laugh when he thought of his daughter's anxious little appearance.

When he got up early on Sunday morning, Qin Xiaoyu made breakfast, and the family of three went out after breakfast to go to the old man's house.

The winter in the new province is very cold, but it is also very beautiful, the sky is blue without a trace of clouds, the ground is white everywhere, the branches are frost hanging, from a distance it looks like a Qiong tree silver flower, delicate and elegant.

The road surface in the town, because no one cleaned it, was exceptionally smooth after stepping on it, and many idle children were playing ice oxen and skating and climbing plows on the road.

Luo Zhan knew that the road was slippery and not easy to ride, so he hugged Guoguo on his chest and wrapped it in his military coat, so that Guoguo showed a small head like a wallaby, a small hat with rabbit fur on his head, and a scarf around it, revealing a pair of curious big eyes.

Qin Xiaoyu was afraid of slipping, so he reached out and grabbed Luo Zhan's arm, and the family went to the town to buy sugar cubes and tea leaves, and then walked to the old man's house.

Guoguo's little head turned around and watched the children skating and climbing the plow on the road, her eyes full of curiosity.

Qin Xiaoyu looked at Guoguo's small appearance and said with a smile: "Guoguo, when you return to the capital, your mother will take you to Houhai for ice skating." ”

Luo Zhan glanced at Qin Xiaoyu: "There is so much snow here, why do you want to go skating in Houhai? I will make a climbing plow when I go back at night, and then I can let Dabai pull you to play." ”

Qin Xiaoyu sighed: "The snow on the road in the army courtyard has been swept clean, come out to play, it's too cold, I'm afraid that the child will catch a cold." ”

Luo Zhan said with a smile: "It's all about adapting, our fruit is not a small flower in a greenhouse, and we can't stand the cold at all." ”

Guoguo nodded again and again: "Dad, play, Guoguo wants to play too." ”

It was almost noon when I walked to the old man's house, and the frost on the trees dissipated with the sunlight, but the air was still cold and cold.

The old man Halidan was sitting on the kang spinning wool, and when he heard the movement in the courtyard, he went out of the kang with great difficulty, and saw Luo Zhan's family of three, and he was also a little surprised: "Crooked River, it's so cold, why are you still here?"

said that he hugged Qin Xiaoyu in the past and made a veneer salute. Then he hurriedly let the three of them into the house.

As soon as Guoguo entered the house, he ran to the old man and greeted him sweetly: "Poor Ana, Yakesi." ”

The old man Halidan laughed: "The grasshopper is also Yakexi. Saying that, Qin Xiaoyu and Luo Zhan hurriedly sat on the kang, and she was busy pouring tea and getting dried fruits.

Qin Xiaoyu helped the old man brew the tea, brought the dried fruits to the kang table, and then pulled the old man to sit down together.

The old man looked at Guoguo sitting on the kang and said with a smile: "I have grown up a little bit more, and I am more beautiful, like our little Uyghur girl." ”

Luo Zhan took off the thick cotton clothes, hats and scarves outside Guoguo, and sat obediently at this time, grinning non-stop with his small mouth, and his white and tender little appearance made anyone like it. Now that the old grandmother is boasting, Guoguo's eyebrows and eyes are even more bent.

Qin Xiaoyu looked at the simple appearance of the house, except for the bright kang blanket on the kang and a few quilts, there was nothing else, and asked with concern: "This snow disaster, are your children's cattle and sheep okay?"

Luo Zhan translated it to the old man.

After hearing this, the old man sighed: "The eldest of my family came back early, nothing happened, the second and third children were disobedient, they had to stay in the mountains for a few more days, and most of the cattle and sheep froze to death." The second family was the worst, with ten cows and fifty sheep dead. ”

Qin Xiaoyu silently calculated, even if a sheep is the cheapest, it costs a hundred yuan, and there are cows, if it is a good Dutch black and white cattle, it will cost thousands of yuan, and this time it will lose tens of thousands of yuan, which is really very serious.

The old man shook his head and kept chanting: "These children are disobedient, won't it be okay to go down the mountain early? ”

Luo Zhan explained to Qin Xiaoyu that the old man said that bathing the sheep was to mix the potion in a large pool, and then let each sheep water once and then go through the medicine pool, so as to remove the bacteria on the sheep.

Qin Xiaoyu sighed that the breeding industry is really very risky, and suggested to the old man Halidan: "Why don't you settle down and make money from farming." ”

The old man Halidan waved his hand: "I don't make money from farming, I have to pay public grain, graze to earn money, and go to the mountains every year." ”

Qin Xiaoyu explained: "If you don't want to farm, you can go to work in a nearby factory, so that the harvest can be guaranteed by drought and flood, and your grandchildren can still go to school." ”

After listening to Luo Zhan's translation, the old man Halidan shook his head: "No, no, there are no cattle and sheep, it will be difficult to marry a daughter-in-law at that time. There is nothing left, and people think that this family is very poor, and they can't even afford sheep. ”

Qin Xiaoyu was surprised, but the old man's deep-rooted concept must not be able to be explained in one or two sentences, so he could only explain: "We have opened a plantation here, thousands of acres of land, and we want to develop together with the local people, common prosperity, and we can build a school when the income is good." ”

Luo Zhan listened to Qin Xiaoyu's words, thought about it and translated it to the old man: "The government will develop planting here, and when the time comes, it will help everyone build a new house, pay wages on a monthly basis, and everyone can go to work, and there is no need to worry about not enough food to eat, and not enough public grain to pay." You don't have to worry about the snow plague, and the children don't have to go outside every day to work hard, how nice is it for the family to stay together every day?"

The old man Halidan was a little moved when he heard this, and felt that this was impossible, how could there be such a good thing, and asked Luo Zhan with her decades of life experience: "If the government falls, who will go to the money?"

The corners of Luo Zhan's eyes twitched: "Don't worry, our country will only get better and better, and there will be no such things as you think." ”

The old man still shook his head paranoidly: "How can there be such a good thing, if this is the case, who wants to herd sheep." ”

Luo Zhan explained in detail, knowing that it must be difficult for the old man to accept it for a while, even if the local residents accept it, it is also a difficult thing, unless a few people dare to stand up and try it first, and taste the sweetness, the people behind will respond positively.

Coming out of the old man's house, Qin Xiaoyu asked Luo Zhan in surprise: "I obviously said a very short sentence just now, you seem to have translated it very long." ”

Luo Zhan looked at Qin Xiaoyu and said: "No matter when, don't promise anyone, if you can't do it, you will be dishonest, because you can't predict what will happen in the future, so you must not be too full of words." ”
