The cold is mostly cured, and the parsley spirit is good.

Early in the morning, the frost on the ground in the south courtyard is like a thin layer of ice flowers, which is illuminated by the soft sunlight and reflects the brilliant waves of Ambilight. God hung the rainbow at the feet of the people.

Parsley retreated to the edge of the courtyard wall and looked up at the roof in the direction of the hall, the tiles were washed and showed their original bright vermilion. However, there are a few places where the sun does not shine, and a layer of frost is applied.

A small sleet last night made the whole world unusual.

The preserved fish hanging under the eaves in the yard, the hard ones that are naturally frozen, are swaying with the wind.

Unfortunately, the well was also frozen, and it was impossible to press out a drop of washing water.

Parsley went to the hall for a while, and when she came out again, she carried a steaming kettle with her. This pot of water, however, was slowly warmed overnight by the red clay stove in the hall.

She slowly poured hot water into the center of the cylindrical sink, and the ice that had frozen the rubber ‖ stoppers melted. Parsley tried to make the handle half an arm's length bigger and bigger, which was difficult at first, but soon the rubber ‖ plug was able to move freely in the sink as the handle rose and fell.

Xiangqin pressed some well water, mixed some hot water in the pot, and saw Duan Wen coming out of the hall with a worried eye, so he called: "Grandpa, wash your face."

Listening to her crisp voice, like a bird's cry, I thought that she had a lot better with a cold, Duan Wen was a lot more relieved, and gradually showed a warm smile.

"You wash first." Duan Wen moved a stool and sat in the sun, as if he hadn't woken up, squinting lazily again.

After a while, Duan Yongyuan came out with a jar, a toothbrush and toothpaste. He used to be unparticular about it, he never brushed his teeth, but now he brushes it every morning and evening, and he is infected by the parsley that he loves to clean.

He stood at the door of the hall for a moment, then opened his mouth and yawned, and before he could stop the strange sound of yin and yang, he began to speak, "The primary school students are on vacation, when are we on vacation?" ”

Duan Wen slowly opened his eyes, he was also thinking about this problem, yesterday he found out that the shop on the other side of the intersection was closed in twos and threes, and when he inquired, he said that the shopkeepers were going home for the New Year.

"You should also do New Year's goods, if you delay it any longer, there will be no New Year's goods in the city."

In the past few days, Duan Wen has been taking care of the hot tofu stall with Duan Yongyuan on parsley's class. If it weren't for this, he would have ridden a tricycle to the city to do New Year's goods.

Xiangqin was wiping her face, and seeing that they couldn't make up their minds, she chuckled, "Otherwise, we won't go out of the stall first, and we can come out after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." But let's continue to make tofu, even if it's a little less. This Chinese New Year, it is estimated that there are many people who come to buy tofu. ”

Duan Wen bowed slightly, "Don't delay this month's work, then from now on, let's not go out of the stall." ”

Duan Wen rubbed his astringent eyes, grunted in his throat, sounding like he was happy, and then he said vaguely, "Then I'll sleep for a while."

Parsley and Duan Wen laughed in unison.

Duan Wen got up and entered the hall and tore a page from a thick stack of calendars hanging near the door wall.

Looking at the thin calendar paper without a gust of breeze, the bright red date on it was reminding him of something, Duan Wen raised his head and said to Parsley: "Today, on the 10th, is someone going to your second grandfather's house to collect bean sprouts?"

"Really." Parsley also remembered.

Since Duan Xiang negotiated with Hong Cheng last month, this is the first transaction between the two parties, and I don't know what kind of bean sprouts prepared by Duan Xiang's family......

She and Duan Wen were not good things, and with concern and some curiosity, the two went to Duan Xiang's house together.

As soon as the two of them stepped into the courtyard, they heard the voice of a little girl talking.

“…… During the exam, my table mate asked me to pass him a note, if I really cheated with him, I wouldn't be able to get the award back! ”

The little girl's voice was very loud, and her voice was full of pride.

Duan Wen was very familiar with the voice, and he showed a look of surprise and joy, and his steps quickened a little, as if he couldn't wait to get to the person who spoke.

"It's Qiuhe who is back!" Duan Wen shouted as he walked.

Duan Qiuhe, a little over seven years old, Duan Wu's little daughter, Duan Xiang's little sister. She is in the second grade at a key primary school in the county, and it is estimated that she came back during the winter vacation.

A little girl wearing a small blue padded jacket and a double ponytail ran out of the hall, and when she saw that it was Duan Wen, she shouted happily, "Uncle! ”

Duan Wen even responded with a "hey" several times, and his mouth couldn't close when he smiled, as if he had celebrated the New Year in advance, with a beaming face.

"When did you come back?"

"Last night."

Duan Wen followed her into the hall, and when he raised his eyes to see that there was a brand-new "Three Good Student" certificate on the white wall facing the door, he smiled even more.

Duan Xiang held the bowl, and there was still some paste left in the bowl, which was not just pasted after the award certificate.

He stood in front of the certificate, rubbing the paste stuck to his hand, and smirked, happier than he was when he got the certificate.

He has a sister who studies well, he is proud, he is proud!

Duan Wu sat aside, burying his head and clicking on the abacus, grabbing a ballpoint pen from time to time and making a few notes in his notebook.

Duan Wen sat Duan Qiuhela beside him and began to ask, "After the exam, how many points did you score?" ”

Duan Qiuhe puffed up his small chest, but he was proud, "I made a mistake in the language, and I got ninety-eight points, and all the other subjects got full marks!" ”

"When school starts again, it's time to go to third grade, right?"

"It's still early, and there is still half a semester in the second year!"

Seeing that they were happy and busy, Parsley felt that it was a little difficult for her to intervene, so she withdrew from the hall and went to the bean sprouts room.

A hot steam mixed with the scent of bean sprouts rushed to the face, and the damp ground was not affected by the cold air outside.

Now there is far more than one bean sprout bed in this house, and last month Duan Xiang found a wooden plank and made four bean sprout beds. Five bean sprout beds are pieced together in the center of the bean sprouts room, like an exhibition stand, with only a passage for the lower feet on all sides.

The self-made bean sprouts are naturally not as thick and strong as those in the factory, but they can also be crystal beautiful, and the most important thing is that they are healthy to eat.

Xiangqin came out of the bean sprouts room and saw Duan Xiang squatting in the yard washing his face, so he said to him: "Uncle Xiangzi, this batch of bean sprouts is sent out, and the bean sprouts room is also ventilated and disinfected."

The damp and hot smell in the sprouts room is too heavy, and it is easy to breed mold.

Duan Xiang was anxious, today was the time to harvest bean sprouts three times a month with Hong Cheng. It's the first time to get such a large amount of bean sprouts at one shot. Duan Xiang was as excited as the big girl who got on the sedan chair for the first time.

", Hong Cheng is not here yet!"

Parsley couldn't cry or laugh, everyone only got up early in the morning, and half a day had not passed. If Duan Xiang is in a hurry, then he is in a hurry.

"You can install a phone at home, so that you can contact the people in their hotel, and when Qiuhe goes to school, if you and my second grandfather miss her, you can also call her and listen to her voice, right?"

Duan Qiuhe, who was in the hall, heard the sound of talking in the courtyard, and hurriedly ran out, and as soon as Xiangqin spoke, she was so embarrassed that she shouted unhappily, "You paid for our family to install a phone?" ”

Duan Xiang poured a handful of cold water on Qiu He's face, and threatened with a fierce expression: "If you dare to talk like this again, believe it or not, I will throw you back to school!"

Qiu He rolled his eyes, still very unimpressed.

Xiangqin remembered that Duan Wu had a total of three babies, the eldest Duan Qiuyin, who had married far away; The second Duan Xiang is idle at home; Old Duan Qiuhe, come home for winter vacation......

"Will my Aunt Qiu Yin come back for the New Year?"

"I wrote from the other hand that I won't come back." After speaking, Duan Xiang was stunned for a moment, and felt that what Xiangqin said was right, it is indeed necessary to install a phone at home, which can be convenient and save a lot of trouble.

"Well, I'll go back to cooking." Parsley came over to take a look, they all prepared the sprouts, and the rest was to deliver the bean sprouts and collect the money, and the rest was nothing for her to worry about. She looked at Qiu He, who had a complaining face, pulled out of her sleeve, waved it at her twice, and said with a smile, "Qiu He, goodbye." ”

The little girl is dressed like a chubby big radish, and she looks very attractive.

Qiu He has a cold and arrogant attitude towards Parsley.

Parsley was not bored either, she raised her feet and turned to leave, and when she reached the gate of the courtyard, a small truck came to block her dew.

This kind of forcible and domineering thing, among the people she knows, only one person can do it.

After Hong Cheng got out of the car, he found that there was no way out, so he got back into the car and moved from the driver's seat to the co-pilot's seat, and came out of the door facing Parsley.

Under his smooth chin, there was still dry toothpaste foam, and he didn't smile seriously.

"Parsley, are you here to greet me?" There was banter on his face, but in his eyes he was expectant and flattered. Hong Cheng smiled, and the beautiful lines at the corners of his eyes rose, looking a little childlike and evil.

"Get out of my way!" Xiangqin was too lazy to play with him, and when she saw Hong Cheng's gaze lowered, she subconsciously followed his line of sight and looked down-

The temperature in the red cloth cotton shoes on his feet seemed to be a little higher, and the soles of his feet were faintly hot.

"Liu Shuo's shoes, did you return them?" Hong Cheng said coldly, and the smile in his eyes faded slightly.

A few days ago, Xiangqin was in the clinic for injections, and there were no shoes to wear, and it was Dr. Liu who lent her his own cotton slippers.

"Yet." Xiangqin felt that she was abnormal, why did she have to answer this man's question honestly?

Hong Cheng raised the corners of his lips again, his eyebrows and eyes opened, and he said with satisfaction: "That's good, I'll go and buy him a new pair of ......" RS
