Chapter Sixty-Eight: Snow and Bamboo
The slices are as thin as paper, simple to eat, and delicious.
Coming out of the rich man's house, the time was about noon, and the wind and snow were still outside, Zhu Ping'an only thought of the mutton shabu-shabu he had just eaten, he had a feeling of spring breeze on the tip of his tongue, and he didn't feel cold when the wind and snow were heavy.
Humming a strange tune, a copy of "The Mean" by Zhu Xi lay quietly in the schoolbag on his back, and Zhu Ping'an stepped into the wind and snow again.
Snow is a wonderful thing, and it is regarded as a sign in the folk that it indicates good weather in the coming year, abundant harvests, good luck, happiness and well-being, and so on. Snow can be a lot of fun and excitement, but when the snow falls, the road is closed by heavy snow.
At this time, the heavy snow is already a palm's deep, and it is particularly strenuous to walk on the road. Zhu Ping'an stepped on the way home in the wind and snow, and suddenly thought that Old Master Sun was not around his children now, and he was a little old, and snow clearing was a difficult thing to do. So, Zhu Ping'an changed his direction and should go to Old Master Sun's house.
It is also a familiar road to go to Old Master Sun's house, and after studying for so many years, Zhu Ping'an has not gone to Old Master Sun's house to ask for teaching.
Old Master Sun's house is not far from Li Da's house, and it takes less than ten minutes to walk to Old Master Sun's house. Old Master Sun is also a well-off family, with a civil structure yard, and he is considered to be an upper-average family in the village.
If you have read many novels, you may have such an idea: Old Master Sun was moved by Zhu Ping'an's diligence and studiousness, etc., thinking that this son was not a thing in the pool, and he wanted to entrust his daughter to him, etc.
Hehe, you really think too much, Old Master Sun is almost sixty years old, his daughters are in their forties, and even his granddaughter has already started a family, but his children are all in the town. Old Master Sun and his wife live together, which is a good story of raising eyebrows.
Old Master Sun's house is not closed at night, you can walk in directly, and there is a clump of bamboo planted in the yard, which adds a bit of poetry to the courtyard.
When he walked in the door, Old Master Sun was tidying up his own bamboo. The heavy snow and wind were tight, and the snow and strong wind bent the bamboo, and Old Master Sun was worried that the bamboo would be broken, so he was holding a small broom to help the bamboo clear the snow.
"Teacher." When Zhu Ping'an entered the courtyard, he bowed to the old master Sun who was tidying up the bamboo.
"Oh, it's peace." Old Master Sun didn't look back and knew that it was Zhu Ping'an who came, and the old master Sun asked Zhu Ping'an while tidying up the bamboo, "Ping'an, what do you feel about this bamboo?" ”
Thoughts on bamboo?
Zhu Ping'an didn't quite understand what Old Master Sun meant, and looked at the bamboo that Old Master Sun was tidying up, the wind and snow pressed the environment, and the bamboo was still stubborn with its own green color. ”
Hearing this, Old Master Sun put down the broom and shook his head, "It's true that the winter bamboo is proud of the snow and frost, but after the wind and snow, there will be a thick layer of snow on the bamboo, and there are two ways for the bamboo at this time: one is to be crushed by the thick snow and be a 'good man' who would rather bend than bend; ”
Speaking of this, Old Master Sun turned his head to look at Zhu Ping'an, "Ping'an, we want to be the bamboo of the snow and frost in winter, but we must also make the second kind of bamboo, we must be able to stretch and bend, do not give up in the face of difficulties, stick to our hearts, and can be bent or bent!" Where there is life, there is hope. ”
"The students were taught." Zhu Ping'an benefited a lot and made a deep arch.
Old Master Sun waved his hand and twisted his beard and said, "In this section, I am very optimistic about you, and in a few months it will be the children's test. ”
It turned out that Old Master Sun was worried about this, worried that if he didn't perform well in this scientific expedition, he was worried that he would not be able to stand up by failure, so he used bamboo to raise himself.
"Please rest assured, the peace is here." Zhu Ping'an immediately made a guarantee, so as not to worry about Old Master Sun.
"Well, then I'll be at ease." Old Master Sun smiled heartily.
"You old man, why do you still let Ping An stand in the wind and snow, come and taste the freshly brewed tea of the master."
My wife's hair was gray, but she was neatly cleaned up, and she also had a bookish smell on her body.
"Hehe, thank you, my wife. In ancient times, there was warm wine to cut Huaxiong, and today let me leave a name for warm tea and snow sweeping. When Zhu Ping'an faced his wife, he was much more relaxed than facing Old Master Sun, and he smiled and picked up the shovels, brooms and other tools in the yard, and worked in full swing.
"You kid!" My wife was disgusted.
Old Master Sun twisted his beard and smiled, and continued to straighten his bamboo.
Snow clearing is also a technical job, learn the wind tight snow thick, simply use a broom to clear the snow, it will be difficult to continue, this time you need to use a shovel to open the road, first shovel the snow a layer, and then use a broom to clear the snow.
At the beginning of clearing the snow, Zhu Ping'an still felt that his hands and feet were cold, but as he swept and swept, this cold feeling disappeared, and his whole body was steaming.
The snow in Old Master Sun's yard was swept out by Zhu Ping'an, and a long road was cleared outside the door.
Sweeping the snow and boiling tea is extraordinarily fragrant, after drinking the tea of his wife, bidding farewell to his master, Zhu Ping'an braved the wind and snow to embark on the return journey.
The thatched house where Zhu Ping'an's family used to live has now become a two-in, two-out yard with blue bricks and red tiles, Zhu's father has made a lot of money by ox carts going back and forth between the town and the villages over the years, and the Chen family is also a mother who can run the house, making more money, so the yard has been rebuilt.
"Really, it's snowing." In the courtyard, Chen looked at the heavy snow and was very unhappy.
"Hehehe, Ruixue Zhaofeng year, good sign." Zhu's father smiled while clearing the snow.
"Zhao you are big, if it doesn't snow, our ox cart will have to earn at least dozens or hundreds of dollars a day." Chen said regretfully.
Hehehe, mother Chen, as before, her eyes lit up when she mentioned money.
"Ah, Biao'er is back, hurry up and come into the house and bake the stove." Mother Chen's eyes were sharp, and she saw Zhu Ping'an returning from the snow for the first time, and hurriedly beckoned Zhu Ping'an into the house.
"I'll help my father clear the snow before I go in." Zhu Ping'an smiled.
"Leave him alone, he's brute force and he's worried about it."
Chen didn't care about this, walked over in a few steps, dragged Zhu Ping'an to the house, patted off the snow on his body, and pressed Zhu Ping'an in front of the stove.
Mother was kind, Zhu Ping'an didn't shirk anymore, and sat down to roast his hands.
"Where's my brother?" Zhu Ping'an didn't see his brother, so he couldn't help asking.
As soon as the eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan was mentioned, his mother Chen said angrily, "Soon after you left, your eldest brother went to Lao Zhang's house to sweep the snow, and he really married his daughter-in-law and forgot his mother. ”
The eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan just got engaged to the daughter of the old Zhang family in the same village last year, because the old Zhang family loves the girl and says that they will get married until they are eighteen, and if the time is calculated, they should get married next year.
"Hehehe, my mother is jealous, don't worry, my son won't get married like my brother, and my son will take his mother to clear the snow."
"You have no conscience, you are darker than your brother's heart, he is just going to clear the snow alone, but you even want to take your mother to summon him!"
Chen was interrupted by Zhu Ping'an, and his mouth was strange, but his mood was much better.
