The snow fluttered in the wind, light and white, like catkins in early spring, and it was a quilt sewn by the heavens for the earth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoHalf a day's work, and a thick pile of snow has accumulated on the ground. The sky was gray, but the snow was shining, and even though it was late in the evening, the room was still bright and light.

Liu Ye stood on a brown wooden lacquered chair, looking out at the snow through the wooden lattice window.

The three layers of plastic film pasted on the small square window faithfully blocked the invasion of the cold.

This is after the winter, my grandmother made it by herself. She carefully nailed the nails to small, round, spacers cut out of scrap paper shells and used them to nail the plastic film.

The spacing of each nail is the same, giving a well-proportioned and beautiful feeling.

The gray area on the eaves of the porch is covered with a thick layer of snow in the open air, and the place in the back is still grayish-brown. This gives the eaves two very different colours. One side is bright, the other side is dark. It's like someone's mood of being happy and worried. And the earthy yellow hemp rope for drying clothes is also covered with a thin layer of snowflakes, like a kind of decoration gifted by God.

Three or two pedestrians hurried along, their necks bent in the wind and snow, their heads bowed, and occasionally young people walking backwards excitedly, they held their heads high, waved their arms to the sky, and made a gesture of hugging the snowflakes. A smile erupted from their faces. Occasionally, a car drove by, and the loud whistle pierced the gloom in the air of the town, bringing the reverie of the outside world to the closed people. A dog fled, and a cat followed behind it, and they quickly disappeared behind the row of houses across the street as if they were racing.

"Ye Mao, open the door!" Grandma, who was busy cooking dinner in the kitchen, woke up Liu Ye, who was intoxicated in the snow, with a loud voice, and she heard a knock on the door.

Liu Ye opened the door and saw a middle-aged man of medium height, slightly emaciated, wearing a faded yellow military cotton coat and a military cotton hat of the same color. A layer of snow fell on the hat and coat. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he panicked and took off his hat, shaking off the snowflakes on his hat and body. When he entered the door, he saw that there were still snowflakes on the big military cotton shoes, so he kept stamping his feet from side to side at the door, and soon his head, body, and feet were clean, and he entered the door without any worries. At this time, my grandmother had already run over from the stove and greeted enthusiastically, "His old Uncle Zhang, it's you, it's snowing so heavily, hurry up, go into the house and roast," she turned her head to look at Liu Ye, who was stunned on the side, "This kid, why don't you know how to call people!" ”

"Uncle Zhang is good!" Liu Ye shouted shyly.

"Alas, Xiao Ye. See what Uncle Zhang brought you? As he spoke, he unbuttoned his yellow coat and, as if by magic, pulled out a packet of colorful candy in a clear plastic bag, followed by two packets of square-shaped snacks wrapped in butter paper. The two packets of dim sum are covered with golden yellow and pink colored paper, respectively. This delicate packaging is an indication of the price of the dim sum.

"Alas, his old Uncle Zhang, you are here, what money do you spend!" Grandma handed a freshly brewed cup of steaming Xinyang Maojian tea to Uncle Zhang, who was sitting by the fire in the living room.

"Auntie, don't you have two children!" Old Uncle Zhang lovingly looked at Liu Ye, who was standing at the offering table with his fingers blank and peeking at the candy and snacks on the square table from time to time, and suddenly remembered something and said, "Alas, what about Xiaoyong?" ”

"Skiing is going! This kid, such a big snow, don't let him go out, he's disobedient! Grandma's helpless words revealed a bit of love, "It's still our good and obedient." She glanced back at Liu Ye and said with satisfaction.

"Uncle Zhang, sit down, I'll go to the stove to prepare dinner."

"Auntie, don't be busy, keep it simple!"

As soon as my grandmother entered the stove, there was a knock at the door, "It's my brother!" Liu Ye excitedly ran to open the door.

A boy with a shaved head and a slightly darkened skin with piercing eyes broke into the house, taller than his peers. His facial features are particularly conspicuous by a pair of provocative ears, which make him look mischievous and unruly. He wore a brown fleece jacket, blue Dika cotton pants, a yellow military cat-eared cotton hat, and black fleece cotton shoes. The seven or eight-year-old boy was dragging behind him with snowflakes falling from a sled made of scrap wooden planks that soon soaked the ground at the door.

"Brother, here are the guests!" Liu Ye happily whispered to his brother, and the little boy went straight to the living room without saying a word. Liu Ye was in the same place, lovingly fiddling with the simple skis made by her brother, and she stood on it and tried to ski. Suddenly, thoughtfully, she stopped and ran towards the living room.

Liu Yong saw the dim sum on the table at a glance, he was immediately overjoyed, and he didn't bother to say hello to Uncle Zhang, so he hurriedly ran to the table and untied the dim sum rope, and the colorful candy and crispy sugar triangle met Liu Ye's eyes. But she was too embarrassed to come up and take them. The elder brother ate in a big gulp, and Liu Ye drooled when he saw it.

At this time, Old Uncle Zhang stood up, walked up to them, picked up two candies and a sugar triangle and stuffed them into Liu Ye's hands, and said gently, "Eat, Xiao Ye." ”

Liu Yong also came to his senses at this time, followed the example of Uncle Zhang, grabbed a handful of candy and stuffed it into Liu Ye's hand.

"Brother, I can't fit it in my hand!" Liu Ye said happily and coquettishly.

Only then did my brother stop showing his love for his sister.

How did my brother become so sensible all of a sudden?

At noon one day half a year ago, my grandfather came back from work with a handful of big mines in his hand, "Ye Mao, just this one mine, you eat quickly, don't wait for your brother to come back, but you don't have your share." ”

Liu Ye was like a cat, squatting in front of her grandmother's stove, chewing slowly, tasting the crisp and sweet taste with relish. At this time, she heard a woman's call from the door: "Accountant Liu, take your clothes!" Hearing the shout, my grandfather agreed, "Just come!" He hurried out the door.

Before going out, my grandfather turned around and said, "Ye Mao, eat quickly!" Your brother is almost out of school! ”

About ten minutes after my grandfather left, my brother came back from school, and when he saw the mine in Liu Ye's hand, he threw down his schoolbag, ran to his grandmother, and asked anxiously, "Grandma, where are the mines?" ”

Grandma said: "Others gave your grandfather a handful of mines, and if you didn't come back, your sister would eat it first." ”

Liu Yong ran to Liu Ye, broke her fingers, and when he saw that there were two mines left, he was immediately furious, he grabbed his grandmother's neckline at once, grabbed her grandmother and shouted, "Grandma, you are eccentric." You're going to buy me the same! ”

"Alas, swimmer, can you wait for grandma to cook?"

"No, you go now!" As he spoke, he cried and banged his head against his grandmother.

He dragged her grandmother up from the small stool in front of the stove door, and she staggered and almost fell.

Seeing this situation, six-year-old Liu Ye was so frightened that she cried: "Brother, don't hit grandma, don't hit grandma, woo woo ......" The two mines in her hands also rolled to the ground with the cry.

Liu Ye saw that her grandmother's good-looking bun was also pulled away by her brother, she was so scared!

Just when she was at a loss, the chicken cover on the rafters of the shed fell down in time and covered her brother impartially.

Liu Yong saw that the chicken cover fell strangely, just to cover him, so he panicked, he recalled that when his grandmother was sick, he stood by the bed and looked at his grandmother with a haggard face, and begged anxiously: "Grandma, hurry up!" ”

A smile appeared on Grandma's pale face: "Then are you still angry with Grandma?" ”

He knelt on the edge of the bed with great care, and swore an oath: "If I am angry with my grandmother in the future, and if I am not filial to my grandmother, I will fight five thunders in the sky." Because of his open teeth, he pronounced "boom" as "empty".

"Phew, good swimmer, don't talk nonsense!" Grandma held him in her arms in distress.

Liu Yong crawled out of the chicken hood, saw her grandmother with a cloak, and suddenly threw herself into her grandmother's arms, crying: "Grandma, I'm sorry for you!" But why do you want to be partial to your sister! ”

At this time, my grandfather also rushed home, saw the mess in the house, and heard Liu Yong's cry, and understood everything.

Grandpa took a towel and wiped Liu Yong's tears and snot while seriously comforting: "You usually spend change, but she doesn't know how to spend the money your sister gives her." This time, I asked her to carry you to eat something. Don't blame your grandma! ”

Grandma relieved herself at this time, and said with tears in her eyes: "Swim head, usually grandma always favors you." When you eat sugarcane, you always let you eat the sweetest part of the root, and only let your sister eat the middle part, why don't you remember? ”

Liu Yong lowered his head unconsciously, and saw that Liu Ye was still wiping tears with the back of his hand, so he persuaded in a low voice: "Don't cry!" In the future, my brother will not be like this. ”

After Liu Ye remembered that incident, Uncle Zhang made a special trip to tell them the story of "Kong Rong made pears".

It was a sunny Sunday, the sky was blue, there was no cloud, the warm spring breeze brought the fragrance of red and orchid flowers, and the birds chirped heartily in the thick old locust tree next to the house, as if to remind people to enjoy the beauty of spring.

My brother Liu Yong got up early in the morning, carrying a bamboo rake, a brand new bamboo rake that he had begged his grandmother to buy yesterday morning. The bamboo basket he carried on his arm contained several thin pieces of hemp rope. Liu Ye knew that his brother was going up the mountain to collect firewood. Since the "chicken cover incident" happened, my brother always wants to make up for his recklessness. Seeing his brother go out, Liu Ye cried loudly, he ran to his brother as he ran, crying and shouting, "Brother, I'm going too, I'm going too!" ”

The elder brother stopped, took Liu Ye's hand and comforted: "Ah Ye, you are too young, my brother can't take you, come back at noon, my brother will bring you something delicious!" With tears in his eyes, Liu Ye silently watched his brother who was traveling far away.

Since her brother is much taller than other children of the same age, her brother, who is only two years older than her, looks four or five years older than her. The elder brother is majestic, carrying the bamboo rake with high spirits, like a hero who goes up the mountain to fight the tiger, Liu Ye is so envious in his heart!

Before the lunch started, my brother returned home on time with a bundle of burnt pine hair on his back. There are also a few stiff and blackened branches in the pine hair bundles, which are the best fire materials in the town.

Grandma saw Liu Yong coming back, and hurriedly called her grandfather to serve the food. A pot of steaming smooth broth, with white thickened meat, red tomatoes, black fungus, and green garlic sprouts, this pot of vegetables can be described as full of color, flavor, and mouth, and it makes people salivate when they look at it. There is also a plate of scrambled eggs with peas, a plate of cold cucumbers, and a plate of stir-fried amaranth, which is really a hearty lunch!

Grandma walked forward, brought the loose hair bundle that Liu Yong had unloaded to the kitchen, then scooped two gourds of water from the water tank, poured them into the flower enamel basin on the washstand, poured some hot water from the soda bottle, tested the water temperature with her hands, and felt that it was appropriate, so she twisted the towel and hurriedly wiped Liu Yong's face and hands, and praised loudly: "Look how capable our swim heads are!" ”

At this time, my grandfather had already put four bowls of rice on the dining table, and while he was setting up his chopsticks, he shouted loudly: "It's hard work, come and eat!" Ye Mao is also coming over for dinner! ”

Liu Yong seemed to suddenly remember something, and promised: "Okay, just come!" He took out a white paper bag from his arms and stuffed it into Liu Ye's hand. Liu Ye opened the paper curiously and saw that it was a packet of pine candy that she loved to eat. The milky white solid has the characteristic scent of pine trees, which is sweet like sugar, but softer than sugar. Liu Ye held the pine candy tightly in his hand, looked up at his brother, and smiled happily with a small mouth. Grandparents nodded knowingly to each other.
