The first is to ask for pink.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

This is the second snow since the beginning of winter. The first snow fell at the beginning of winter, that is, when Lian Man'er was still in the county seat.

Lian Man'er sat in the room, looking out through the glass window. At the beginning of the snow, it was snow particles, which were also called snow grits by the villagers, and after a while, the snow particles turned into snow flakes that fluttered and fell all over the world. Even Man'er sat there, and could only see the snow outside the window, and couldn't look far away.

There was no wind, only goose feather snow in the sky.

Everyone loves snow. Because there is more snow in winter, it means that after the snow melts in the spring and winter of the following year, there will be more snow water to moisten the soil.

Lian Shouxin wore a sheepskin jacket, put on a straw hat, and went out tightly wrapped all over his body. The snow was heavier than expected, and he had to take people around to see what else needed to be cleaned up on the grange.

In the middle of the night, Lian Shouxin came back from outside in a hurry with snowflakes draped on his shoulders.

"It's good under the snow." As soon as he entered the door, he even kept his word.

"Quick, sweep the snow away, don't catch a cold." Zhang was sitting on the kang, taking Lian Zhi'er and Lian Man'er to do needlework, and when he saw that Lian Shouxin had returned, he hurriedly put on his shoes and went to the ground, took a broom in his hand, and took Lian Shouxin to the outhouse, and swept away the snow on his shoulders and back, and the couple came in again.

"It's good under the snow." Lian Shouxin sat on the kang and said again.

"Dad, why have you been out for half a day, is there anything wrong?" Lian Man'er asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, I took someone to the field to take a look." Lian Shouxin said, "The snow in the ground is so thick." ”

Lian Shouxin stretched out his hand and gestured.

"It's all tightly covered. That's it. Not to mention other crops next year, we will have a bumper harvest of winter wheat. ”

Ruixue mega year, that's what it means. Especially for winter wheat that needs to be winterized, a thick layer of snow. Able to keep warm and moisture. Winter wheat needs to have such a thick snow quilt.

Lian Shouxin is still a farmer in his bones, and the thing that makes him happiest is that the crops he has worked hard to plant have a bumper harvest. The firewood is full of stacks, and the grain is full of barns.

A good wheat harvest is expected next winter, and even the vines are happy.

It snowed for a whole day and night, and it cleared the next morning. Lian Man'er woke up, sat up from the kang and looked out, and saw a silver-white world.

Perhaps because she is accustomed to the life of a farmer, Lian Man'er has become more sensitive to everything in nature. Like ordinary village children, Lian Man'er was excited.

Get up hurriedly. After getting dressed and washing, Lian Man'er walked out of the West House.

"Don't rush out, it's cold outside." When Zhang saw it, he hurriedly said, "I want to go out." Wear more often, too. ”

The weather is like this, it is not too cold when it snows, but the temperature drops significantly after the snow.

Lian Man'er agreed, pushed open the front door, and walked outside. It's a snow-covered ice and snow world, and the trees in the yard have small half of their trunks buried in the snow. This is the largest snow Lian Man'er has seen in this world so far. Lian Man'er stood at the door for a while, then walked down the steps. Steps. and the road leading to the hall under the steps, which has been swept out by Lian Shouxin and people who got up early, and the snow swept up is piled on both sides of the road, which makes the snow on both sides of the road as high as Lian Man'er's waist.

Lian Man'er grabbed a handful of snow, formed a snowball in his hand, and threw it into the distance. Seeing the snowball smash on the courtyard wall and disperse into snow mist, Lian Man'er couldn't help but giggle twice.

"How old are you, you're still playful, don't freeze." Zhang leaned out of the room and said.

"Ah, I see." Lian Man'er agreed, but she didn't plan to go back to the house.

"Second sister," Xiao Qi trotted over from the side of the hall like a cotton bun, and shouted happily, "Second sister, I don't have to go to school today." ”

"You're lazy again?" Lian Man'er hugged Xiao Qi who rushed over and asked.

"No, it's because the snow is too big, and you can't walk on the official road, and you can't get past the car. My father and brother both said that I would definitely not have classes today, so I should not go, just go home, and my brother will give me a lecture in a while. ”

Lian Man'er glanced into the snow, and the thickness of this snow must not be higher than an adult's knee. At this time, there was no special institution for melting and clearing snow, so at least for the first day or two, the village couldn't go far.

"Our dad and our brother?" Lian Man'er asked again.

"They're all in front of you and sweeping the snow with people." Xiao Qi said, "Our brother asked me to come over and say, and I will take someone to the backyard and clear the snow on the roof in a while." ”

"Oh." Lian Man'er nodded, and took Xiao Qi into the house, and Xiao Qi told Zhang Shixue what he had just said again.

Sure enough, after a while, Lian Shouxin and Goro came with two long-term workers. Some of them took brooms and some of them took wooden shovels, and they used ladders to climb up to the roof to sweep the snow.

However, at the same time, if the snow falls too much, it will also have a negative impact on the lives of the villagers. Transportation is one thing, and on the other hand, too much snow can collapse a house. Also, the snow water after the snow melts can also erode the roof.

Therefore, after a heavy snowfall, the industrious farmer generally does not wait for the sun to rise, and will go to the house to remove the snow from the roof. At this time, as long as you go out to look, you can see that there are people clearing snow on the roofs of almost every house.

Lian Man'er and Xiao Qi were both sitting on the kang, and through the glass window, they saw that large pieces of snow were pushed down from the roof by Lian Shouxin and others, and fell to the ground with snow mist.

When the snow on the roof was cleared, even Shouxin and Gorou came down from the house with a long worker, shoveled all the snow in the yard to one place, and then pushed a wheelbarrow to transport the snow outside.

In this sweep, the snow in the yard was cleared, but Lian Shouxin deliberately left a pile of snow at the root of each tree. The snow is meant to melt slowly and nourish the trees.

Take care of the backyard, and even keep the letter and go with Gorou to clean other houses and courtyards.

Xiao Qi was kept in the house by Zhang's family, and he was not allowed to go out, and when he saw that the snow sweepers were gone, Xiao Qi suddenly thought of something.

“…… Let my father and my brother not get rid of the snow and keep the snowman......" Xiao Qi snorted, and was about to go down to the ground to chase Goro.

"What's the hurry, eat first, and then you can go out to play when the sun comes out." Zhang stopped Xiao Qidao, "That snow is there, your father and your brother still don't know you, they must have left it for you." ”

Sure enough, after breakfast, when the sun rose, the Zhang family was willing to let Lian Man'er and Xiaoqi out.

In the front yard, Lian Shouxin specially left two piles of snow for the children.

"Right next to this pool, pile one on one side, it's better to pile up." Even Shouxin also instructed a few children.

Lian Man'er called Lian Zhi'er, Xiao Qi brought Goro, and several children all wore thick cotton slaps, talking and laughing while building snowmen. He didn't even watch from the side, and he also helped.

、

The big fat and the second fat also surrounded them. In winter, the two big wolf dogs have grown stronger, and with the thickened fur, they look even more powerful and beautiful.

Soon, two chubby snowmen were piled up. Xiao Qi ran back to the study and came out with a wooden box. In the wooden box, there is the "treasure" collected by Xiao Qi. These treasures are very interesting, including beautiful stones picked up on the river beach, as well as beautiful shells and conch shells.

The children chose beautiful pebbles to make the eyes of the snowman, long flat shells for the mouth, conch shells for the nose, and smaller shells for the snowman's buttons.

played for a long time, until Zhang was worried that the children were freezing, so he came over and drove them back to the house.

Winter leisure, the village households in Liaodong Mansion were used to cat winter, but now it has such a heavy snowfall, it is inconvenient to go out, and people are even more idle. Xiao Qi didn't go to school again, and there wasn't much to worry about on the grange, in the past two days, the family mostly gathered in a room, sitting around the kang, Zhang's, Lian Man'er and Lian Zhi'er did needlework, and Wulang and Xiao Qi read and wrote. Sometimes, the family also chats about the shortcomings of the family, so as to spend a warm, quiet and beautiful winter.

On this day, Zhang went to the shop and sighed when he came back.

"Mother, what's the matter?" Lian Man'er asked.

"I don't have anything to do, it's for your third aunt and Ye'er." Zhang's way,

Lian Man'er raised her head and looked at Zhang.

"What's going on over there?" Lian Man'er asked.

"It's the old He family, don't you live in the opposite house with your three aunts? …… They stole the firewood from your third uncle's mother's house. Zhang said.

When Zhao and Lian Ye'er came to visit the door, Lian Man'er asked about it.

“…… People don't call it stealing, people call it borrowing. Lian Ye'er huffed, "There is a loan that has not been repaid." ”

"What's the way," Zhao sighed helplessly, "They don't have firewood, and there aren't many firewood in the room." It's cold, and if you don't burn firewood, the house will be like an ice cellar, and there will be no people living in it. Bear with me, it's good to start spring. ”

"Sister Man'er, you didn't see that house that made them suffer. It's only been a few days, and the house is called a mess and buried, and they are really a family with the second uncle. She doesn't clean up in her own house, and she doesn't clean up in the outhouse. Every day, my mother and I can't look past it and sweep her. Lian Ye'er complained to Lian Man'er.

"If you don't sweep her, we won't be able to get down when we go to the outhouse." Zhao said.

"That's it, she was polite to us, saying that she wouldn't let us sweep. She swept herself. We were cooking that day, so she took a broom and swept the floor in the outhouse. The dust that was blown up, and the firewood and leaves were swept into the pot where we were cooking. Lian Ye'er said again.

"Why is this person like this, usually leda, this house that lives in other people's houses, eats other people's and uses other people's, why doesn't she pay attention?" Zhang said.

"Sister Man'er, let me tell you." Lian Ye'er leaned closer to Lian Man'er, "Milk let the second aunt and the eldest aunt grind together." ”
