After dinner, the snowflakes that were filled in have turned into goose feather snow, and the snowflakes will not turn into snow soon when they fall to the ground, and it seems that the little girl Luoluo's wish to build a snowman will soon come true.

After tidying up the house, Zhao Yuan and Meng Ying cleaned up the firewood in front of the stove, and then moved the smoker grill in the greenhouse to the kitchen, preparing to continue smoking bacon sausages at night.

After working for a while, he moved all the meat and sausages to the kitchen, washed up, Zhao Yuan accompanied Meng Xiaobao to sleep in the original Zhao Dazhu's room, and Meng Ying accompanied Luoluo to sleep in the original room.

The next day, Zhao Yuan got up early, walked out of the house and saw that it was covered in silver, and all he saw was white land, and there was snow on the trees and roofs.

Walking to the kitchen, the incense leaf fire with the bacon and sausage had been extinguished, Zhao Yuan looked at the bacon and sausage, it was still relatively wet, and it still needed to be smoked for another day today, so he took off the pole hanging the meat and sausage and put it on the stove, and moved the smoking rack to the shed outside the house first.

When Zhao Yuan returned to the kitchen and was about to continue carrying meat and sausages, Meng Ying took Luoluo to get up and came to the kitchen.

"It's snowing heavily today, Xiaoying, you and Luoluo should sleep more." Zhao Yuan said.

"I fell asleep a little late last night and didn't get up, Brother Yuan, do you still have to smoke these meats and sausages?" Meng Ying asked when she saw that Zhao Yuan was about to move the meat and sausages to the shed outside.

"Let's smoke and roast for another day today, it's better to smoke and dry a little bit to preserve, Luoluo, do you see the heavy snow outside?" Zhao Yuan was still a little confused when he picked up the little girl, and said with a smile.

"See, uncle, it's snowing." Originally, when Meng Ying got up, she would let Luoluo sleep more and get up again, but the little girl insisted on getting up, so she left it.

"Let's light the fire in the brazier first, it's cold today." Zhao Yuan said to Meng Ying.

"Okay, Mr. Huo, Brother Yuan, you can bring some charcoal, I'll see if there are any sparks in the brazier." Meng Ying nodded and said.

When I went to bed last night, I buried the charcoal that had not been burned directly with ashes, and there should be some sparks that had not been burned, so I only needed to add a few new pieces of charcoal to the brazier to make a fire.

"Uncle, is Uncle Xiaobao still sleeping?" Luoluo rubbed her eyes and asked after she sobered up a little.

"Yes, he's still sleeping, Luoluo come over and bake the fire, and then wash his face with hot water after the uncle and aunt take out the meat and sausages." Zhao Yuan saw that there was still fire in the brazier that Meng Ying had opened, so he directly put a few pieces of charcoal into the brazier and used a torch made of bamboo to blow the fire.

"Oh, yesterday Uncle Xiao Bao said that he should get up early in the morning to read." Luoluo said.

"Is it because Xiaobao said that you want to study in the morning, Luoluo, why did you get up so early?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"Well, I'm going to teach Uncle Xiaobao to read the Analects."

"Then I'll wake him up later, and call him when I'm done washing my face." Meng Ying said with a smile.

"Okay, uncle, I'm going to see the snow."

"It's too cold outside, Luoluo, you can make a fire in the house, and when we're done with breakfast, let's build a snowman in the yard." Zhao Yuan said.

"Okay then."

Zhao Yuan and Meng Ying took all the meat and sausages to the smoked grill in the shed outside, then lit the fire, continued to smoke and roast with fragrant branches and leaves, and then returned to the kitchen, prepared hot water to wash their faces, and then made breakfast.

"The water in the tank is gone, I'll go and fetch some buckets of water." Zhao Yuan said, carrying a bucket to the well in Houyanggou, scooping two buckets of water to the kitchen and pouring them into the water tank.

In winter, the water temperature of the well is still relatively high, and there is a white gas in the well, and the water that has just been scooped out has a mild feeling to the touch, but in summer, the water in the well is very cold.

In the kitchen, Meng Ying had already lit the stove, and Zhao Yuan mixed a few scoops of water in the pot and heated it to wash his face.

After washing her face, Luoluo, the next girl, ran to the room where Meng Xiaobao was sleeping, and wanted to call Meng Xiaobao up to read.

"Uncle Xiaobao, wake up, you said yesterday that you should get up early to study?" In the room, Luoluo patted Meng Xiaobao's quilt and said.

"Ah, Luoluo, you're all up, I haven't woken up yet." Meng Xiaobao opened his eyes with difficulty, reacted that this was at the second sister's house, and said after seeing Luoluo.

"yes, get up and wash your face, and then I'll teach you to read." Luoluo put her hands behind her back and said like a little adult.

"Okay, I'll get up right away, why didn't my brother-in-law call me when he got up."

"My uncle has been up for a while, and it's snowing so hard outside, and we still have to build a snowman."

"I'm going to participate too."

"Okay, I'll go out first, you hurry up."

Luoluo returned to the kitchen, and Zhao Yuan asked, "Is Xiaobao up?" ”

"Get up, and say you'll build a snowman with us later." Luoluo sat back by the brazier and said.

"Okay, you can think about how to make ears, eyes, nose, and mouth for the snowman, and see who thinks of the best way." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Okay, Uncle Xiaobao, wash your face quickly, I'll teach you to read after washing your face." Luoluo said when she saw Meng Xiaobao walking to the kitchen.

"Luoluo, how long have you been up?"

"It's been a while, wash your face, I'll help you scoop up the washing water."

"Okay."

After Xiaobao finished washing his face, Luoluo took out the books and taught Meng Xiaobao to read sentence by sentence, and the childish sound of reading sounded in the kitchen of Zhao Yuan's house.

"Learn and learn, don't you say ......"

"Learn and learn, don't you say ......"

Zhao Yuan was going to steam a few pork buns to eat in the morning, fresh pork, plus shallots pinched back from the ground yesterday, noodles with baking soda, and a small pot of white rice porridge was boiled, and breakfast was all alive.

After breakfast, the two little guys who couldn't wait for a long time pulled Zhao Yuan to build a snowman, Meng Ying was afraid that the three of them would freeze, so she pulled Luoluo and Xiaobao to add a room of clothes before letting them out.

"Don't come down, when I'm ready, you can come back and put a nose, eyes, mouth, and ears on it." Zhao Yuan stopped Luoluo and Xiaobaodao, who wanted to play in the snow.

In this era, there is a shortage of medical treatment, once you have a cold, it is not an hour, and children are weak, so don't let them play in the snow.

"Oh, uncle, I want to touch the snow." Luoluo said with a pout.

"Yes, brother-in-law, when it snowed last year, I was still playing at home." Meng Xiaobao also protested.

"You can't play in the snow, go and think about how to put a nose, eyes, mouth, and ears on a snowman." Zhao Yuan waved his hand and said.

"Oh!"

Zhao Yuan, who came from the north in later generations, was very familiar with building snowmen, the snow in Shu was not like the north, the temperature in the north was lower and drier, and the snow that fell gave people a feeling of dry powder, but now the school here in Shu feels more fluffy and moist.

The snow was so thick that it almost sank into your calves when you stepped on it. Zhao Yuan gathered a snowball, rolled it in the snow, and soon rolled into a big snowball and put it in the corner of the house, as the body of a snowman. Continue rolling a smaller snowball as the snowman's head, then carefully trim the silhouette of the snowman with a shovel, and soon a snowman is piled up.

"Luoluo, what about the nose, eyes, mouth, and ears you prepared for the snowman?" Zhao Yuan exhaled and said to Zhao Luo and Meng Xiaobao who were standing under the eaves.

"It's ready, uncle, look at it, we use radish for the nose and this thread for the mouth." Luoluo handed the radish and a red thread to Zhao Yuan and said.

"What about the eyes and ears?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"Brother-in-law, the eyes and ears are made of this cloth, and the second sister makes the leftover cloth for clothes." Meng Xiaobao said.

"Okay, would you like to put on the snowman?"

"Yes!"
