Chapter Seventy-Three: Cold and Warm

However, perhaps because this summer was unprecedentedly hot, this winter was also surprisingly cold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At first, not to mention the beginning of winter, even the light snow and heavy snow did not have the slightest chill, but presented a scene of a small spring with warm spring flowers.

It has become the most beautiful and comfortable Chenguang of the year.

With the right temperature, sunny weather, light wind and light clouds, and soft sunshine, the high and low trees and shrubs on Lotus Mountain actually began to sprout. Even if there has been no movement, the ginkgo trees, which have stopped giving hope to the family, have also begun to turn green without warning.

The shoots are particularly small, and the peppercorns look no bigger than a grain of rice, and grow sparsely on the light brown branches.

Although there is no impact of the golden fans in autumn, the pink and tender green makes everyone's hearts soften.

Even after the winter solstice, some people still sigh that this year may be a warm winter, which is not a good sign for the villagers. As soon as I entered the wax moon, it seemed to have entered the cold winter of Sanjiu overnight.

How many people slept until midnight and were frozen half to death by the cold wind that broke through the doors and windows, and then got up tremblingly and turned out all the clothes and bedding in the house and wrapped them around their bodies, but they didn't sleep all night.

The pink and tender buds on the ginkgo tree have not yet grown, the shape of the fan has not yet shadowed, and the color of the buds has changed from tender green to light yellow, and the soft lying ground is blown away by the wind and drifts around.

Fortunately, the spring flowers that overwinter in Qin's field were planted in time, and more than a month has passed by this time, and they have already sprouted and grown strong, and they will not freeze to death easily.

As for those who didn't get the beans and wheat planted before the cold dew, the losses are not very good.

The north wind howled for two days, and the first heavy snow after the winter came again, but in one night, the sky and the earth were already torn and white.

The ground is like a thick quilt covered with a soft bed, Father Qin breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect how good the next year would be, as long as it wasn't like this year, as long as he could barely get by, as long as he could get some food, he would have nothing else to ask for.

There was only Sichuan pepper, looking at the celery that was completely covered by snow and never even a trace, but his heart was anxious.

Calculating the time, it has been a month since the first batch of celery was extinguished, and it is said that it is almost time to start harvesting, but I don't know how this celery grows.

What's more, on such a cold day and such a heavy snow, even if this celery is a cold-season vegetable and is cold-resistant, Sichuan pepper still can't help but worry that they can't bear it and freeze to death.

What to do about it.

It's not a lie, it's a really cold day.

Frozen hands and feet, the wind blows on the face like a knife, even the water is frozen, etc., that's it, speaking of peppercorns, I haven't seen ice cubes that can hang down to the ground for many years in my previous life, and even ice cubes have not been seen for many years.

But this time it was only the beginning of the snow, and finally the sun came out, but under the eaves there were rows of bowl-sized cones. The largest of them has hung directly to the ground, and then extends again, forming ice mounds on the ground.

In the daylight, the crystal ice cubes shimmer with dazzling light, and droplets of water drip down the ice cubes.

The peppercorns have already watched it, but the little brothers are on the same page as these ice creams.

I don't think it's fun to open my mouth to catch ice water, but I'm not afraid of the cold, so I started to break it again. Several people were busy for a while, and finally broke off a section and bit it in their mouths, and their eyes lit up.

The fourth cousin secretly took a hammer from the tool room, and went down with all his strength, and the ice broke in response, but the snow on the roof was also falling down. The little boys under the eaves were all smashed all over their faces, but they were very happy after the ghost cried wolf.

Qin Lianxiong, who was shoveling snow on the roof, shouted, and was so startled that a bunch of little boys scattered like birds, and saw the peppercorns laughing.

I don't know if it's because of the crushed ice in my mouth, Sichuan Jiao felt that his heart was suddenly happy and transparent.

I picked up two pieces of crushed ice in the snow and handed them to the fragrant leaves who had been staring at him with wide eyes, and the fragrant leaves looked at the peppercorns with a puffed cheek, and their eyes were closed and stuffed into their mouths, and they just frowned, but after a while, they shook their heads at the peppercorns again and again.

The two little heads laughed together, picked up the crushed ice on the ground and ate it, and the little boys ran out of the horns with their brains probed, and they didn't know what to say, and soon gathered in the shade by the courtyard wall, and built a snowman.

It's just that the snowman's body hasn't rolled yet, so he was pulled by the second uncle, and handed them the paddle, telling them to take the paddle and slap the cotton clothes and pants spread on the snow.

Early in the morning, as soon as the sun appeared, the aunts and uncles moved out all the cotton clothes and pants that had not been dismantled and washed, and spread them on the snow.

And the bunch of little boys were only calm for a moment, and then they secretly started snowballs in the snow with the rackets in their hands, and in a short time, the snowballs became snowball fights.

The two of them were overjoyed to see their brothers stumbling in the snow, and Lilac ran out when she heard the movement, secretly pinched a sturdy big snowball, and flew towards the back of the fourth cousin. Soon the situation changed, the fifth cousin rebelled, the sixth brother was co-opted by Lilac, and the group battle became a group battle, and the two groups of people started a guerrilla war.

Sichuan pepper and bay leaf are naturally unwavering supporters of the red side, shouting for the lilacs.

Dill in and out for fear that they really hit something, from time to time to warn twice, looking at the puffed bun face of the two small things of pepper and bay leaves, and didn't care, and inadvertently saw bay leaves to pick up the broken ice on the ground, and was bluffed, and hurriedly asked, "Is it cold?" ā€

The two little things giggled and shook their heads in unison.

Strange to say, not only did it not feel cold, but it didn't taste at all, but it felt delicious.

Dill was angry and funny and stretched out his hand to signal the two little ones to spit it out, and frightened: "Dare to eat such a cold thing, you can't grow teeth carefully." ā€

Xiangye, who was changing her teeth, was so frightened that she hurriedly spit out the ice cubes, and the peppercorns also giggled and spit out the small piece of crushed ice in her mouth on the ground, and Dill smiled and took two small things back to the house to drink water.

The steam in the house is warm and warm, and it seems to be two completely different worlds from the outside of the house, but the peppercorns can only smell the mellow aroma of the full laba porridge. (To be continued.) )
