At the end of December, when the snow covers the mountains and plains with a thick layer of silver, the children who can't stop frolicking and the hard-working farmers lock themselves in their homes and gather around the fire to keep warm, enjoying the rare peace and warmth with their families.

At the foot of the hill, near a house by the stream, there was an angry curse.

"Good you ugly bastard! How dare you steal bread! See if I don't kill you! ”

On the pile of snow piled up under the corner of the house, a thinly dressed, skinny child curled up, and a faint cry begging for mercy came out of his lips that were cracked by the cold wind: "Mother...... Don't hit me...... Please don't hit me......"

She laboriously stretched out a pair of small, swollen red hands and grabbed the corners of her clothes that made her fearful.

"Daughter-in-law, you dissipate your anger, don't fight, Xiuxiu's child is also hungry, and now the cake has been eaten by her, it's useless for you to beat her."

A middle-aged man dressed in patches grabbed the fat woman who didn't control his strength at all, and bothered to persuade on the side.

"Whew! Ugly people make a lot of mistakes! I think she's the star of our family's funeral! ”

The fat woman kicked that hand away, and the spit out of her big mouth turned into ice crystals as soon as she squirted out: "I'll let you go this time, and next time I'll let me know what you stole from our house, and I'll let you spit it out how you eat it!" ”

The people outside the house were still on fire in their hearts, but they couldn't stand the cold weather, and soon dispersed and went back to the house to warm up.

Lu Xiuxiu struggled to get up from the snow, she inhaled with the pain of her injured ankle, but it was too cold outside the house, she had to crawl inside with her hands and feet, she had stayed long enough, she didn't eat anything, and if she stayed any longer, she might freeze to death in the snow at any time.

"What's going on? Why did you lie down in the snow? ”

A sweet and greasy voice came from the top of his head: "You fool, how cold is it on the ground, come, I'll help you, get up quickly!" ”

Lu Xiuxiu didn't understand what was going on, but she found that one of her hands was being framed, and then the whole person was dragged by the arm: "What's the matter?" Could it be a mother's ...... Mother, did she beat you again? ”

, a little girl who is a head taller than her, wrinkled a red and pink face, and her tone is gentle and pitying: "Come, good, let my sister see ......"

When Lu Xiuxiu heard this, she raised her head, revealing a hideous face covered by a crimson birthmark, and a layer of mist was filled with her eyes that had been pretending to be strong: "Sister, believe me, I really didn't steal the cake......"

"Well, my sister believes in you."

The girl gently combed her loose and yellow hair with one hand, and the disgust in the depths of her eyes flashed: "But Xiuxiu, you must know that although my sister believes that you will steal the cake, but this time it was Xiaochen who saw it with her own eyes, how could my mother believe you?" ”

"So, listen to my sister, you go and apologize to your mother."

The girl didn't give Lu Xiuxiu a chance to speak, held her shoulders, and coaxed softly: "Not only ...... Mother will forgive you, and my sister will also treat this incident as if it never happened, otherwise my sister will be disappointed in you. ”

"Sister, I'...... I didn't have ......"

Lu Xiuxiu's tear-stained little face became flustered all of a sudden, and she grabbed the girl's sleeve tightly, but this action was seen in the eyes of the girl who was already disgusted with her, but it was hateful, she impatiently pulled out one of her hands, and her tone was cold: "Xiuxiu, you die like this, your sister is really disappointed in you, how can my sister believe you!" Mother is right! Ugly people make a lot of mistakes, next time I steal it, let my mother ...... Shoot you! ”

After speaking, she turned around and seemed unwilling to look at Lu Xiuxiu again, thinking of the big cake hidden in her arms all morning, her mouth was greedy, but the gentle face just now inexplicably evoked a triumphant and disdainful smile: "Idiot!" ”

Then he twisted his bloated waist and went back to the house in a hurry.
