After a while, the kitchen was very busy, and the village women were washing some vegetables and some vegetables, some were burning the fire, and from time to time they were talking about homely things, which was a piece of laughter.

Shen Qingqing rolled up her sleeves and wanted to go to the kitchen to help, so Aunt Wang pulled her to the table and patted the back of Shen Xianqing's hand, with some kindness in her eyes: "Qingqing, a few of them want to be busy, just let them be busy, they really want to thank you." ”

"Thank me?" Shen Qingqing was a little confused.

Aunt Wang smiled: "These village women originally worked hard for the men and children every day at home, and there were not many silver taels in their hands, although you let them make these things a little busy, but with the silver taels, they can straighten their waists at home, do you say they can not thank you?" ”

Shen Qingqing was wondering why these village women were so enthusiastic today, but when she heard Aunt Wang say this, she understood.

And Shen Qingqing's eyes looked outside the house, she didn't think about anything and didn't know what she was thinking, she just muttered: "This day will get better and better, it will get better and better." ”

It snowed for two days, and the old people in the village said they had never seen such a snow, as if heaven and earth were going to come together and destroy everything.

Because of this snow, Xiao Douding's school has also been suspended, so it's okay, Shen Qingqing sees this Xiao Douding going to school every day, so he can rest when he stops school.

Shen Qingqing bought an old duck from the town, bought some sour radish, and prepared to stew some sour radish and duck soup.

Put the old duck feathered, put rice wine and green onion and ginger to remove the fishy smell, boil it in the pot and stew it slowly, and the sour radish is full of fragrance and sourness.

The little bean dice's nose was more smart than that of a greedy cat, and when he smelled it, he came over: "Mother, I have only seen this sour radish and duck soup in books, but I didn't expect it to be stewed like this." ”

"Oh, really?" Shen Qingqing deliberately wanted to test him. "Then what do you say is the effect of this sour radish and duck soup book?"

"It's delicious, the soup is bright, and it can also remove the heat in your heart." Xiao Douding's head swayed, but he memorized it word by word from the book.

Shen Qingqing was surprised in her heart, this little bean was really a piece of reading material, and she couldn't help but take out a bowl of soup with meat and hand it to Xiao Dou Ding Cheng: "You are awesome, this bowl of soup will be rewarded to you." ”

"Thank you, mother." Little Bean Ding carefully took the soup to the table.

Shen Qingqing also tasted it, the taste of this soup is really delicious, with sour radish is simply superb, fragrant but not greasy, sour but not widowed.

Shen Qingqing's index finger moved for a while, and he drank two bowls in a row, and his body suddenly became hot.

This winter was very cold, dripping into ice, Shen Qingqing lit some charcoal fire in the house before going to bed, hugged Xiaodouding and prepared to sleep on the bed.

Xiao Douding was playful and touched Shen Qingqing's nose: "I can't sleep when I kiss my mother, you can tell me a story." ”

"Tell a story?" Shen Qingqing thought about it in his mind for a while, and then suddenly thought of the story of Mr. Dongguo and the snake, cleared his throat and said. There was a gentleman named Mr. Dongguo, who was walking on the road one day and suddenly ......"

As soon as the words came to this, I only heard a fluttering sound from the kitchen, and after the sound, there was the sound of many things falling, and it was very scary.

Shen Qingqing and Xiao Douding both looked stunned.

"Mother, what's wrong with the kitchen?" Xiao Douding lowered his voice and spoke.

Shen Qingqing patted Xiao Douding's head: "Haohao, don't move while lying on the bed, I'll go out and have a look." ”

As he spoke, he got out of bed and put on his clothes, and picked up the broom next to him for self-defense.

When she cautiously entered the kitchen, the broom in her hand suddenly fell to the ground, and Shen Qingqing didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

It had snowed heavily for several days before this, and the snow had fallen on the roof, and although the wall of the house had been renovated, there was no extra silver tael in hand at that time, so the kitchen was temporarily idle, and it was still covered with a thatched roof.

The roof of this thatch can't hold the snow and the weight has collapsed!

I saw that the pots and pans in the kitchen had already been pressed under the thatched house, and the mud and snow were mixed with a little bit of it, and there was no place to put down.

It seems that the next day is busy today.

Shen Qingqing could only build bricks at the door of the kitchen, in case the water would flood into the hall when it rained at night, and only go to sleep after confirming that there was nothing to do.

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Shen Qingqing got up and cooked some breakfast for Xiao Douding to eat.

She put on warm clothes and was about to go to the town to hire someone to build a house, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw Lin Zhong standing in the doorway.

His hands and face were red from the cold, and his nose was shaking, and he didn't know how long he had been standing here.

Shen Qingqing was suspicious: "Why are you here?" ”

Lin Zhong touched his nose, which was red from the cold: "I saw that your kitchen collapsed, so I thought I would build it for you." ”

Shen Qingqing tilted his head and didn't follow his words, but asked, "How long have you been waiting here?" ”

Looking at the appearance of being frozen in the forest, it is definitely not a short time to wait here.

I didn't expect that Lin Zhong was just touching his head, and he didn't know how to speak: "I...... You hadn't gotten up when I was here, and I wasn't afraid of waking you, so I didn't knock on the door. After speaking, he seemed to be afraid that Shen Qingqing would be angry. Last night I saw that your kitchen had collapsed, so I thought I'd come over and fix it for you. ”

How could this man know that his kitchen had collapsed?

But Shen Qingqing didn't care about these anymore, and hurriedly took off his scarf and handed it to his hand: "You hurry up and wrap this around to warm up." ”

It's just that Shen Qingqing paused when she said about the wall, she took a long breath and thought quickly in her mind: "Don't come here, I'll go to the town to find someone to build." ”

"Why?" Lin Zhong was puzzled and a little anxious. "Don't look at me hunting in the mountains all year round, but I also have a bricklayer job, and there will be absolutely nothing wrong with handing over the roof of your house to me."

"It's not this ......" Although it was difficult to say, Shen Qingqing still said it. Before you helped me repair the wall, Aunt Lin came over to make a fuss, although the two of us have a clear conscience, but it is better to avoid some suspicions. ”

This is exactly the consideration in Shen Qingqing's mind, if there is no Aunt Lin, how can Lin Zhong come to help, but with Aunt Lin, it is better to have more than one thing.

Lin Zhong is also a sensible person, how could he not understand this kind of truth, and finally could only smile helplessly: "I'm sorry, my mother has caused you a lot of trouble." But if you need my help in the future, just ask, and I will definitely come to help you. ”

"Okay."

Sent away the forest, Shen Qingqing went to the town to find the bricklayer, this winter to build a house is a lot of people, the bricklayer is busy time is very tight, Shen Qingqing asked several families to barely a few people are willing to come over to help, this price, naturally not low, but at least just build the roof, how much money can not be used.

Then Shen Qingqing went to the market to pick up the raw materials for building the roof, she didn't know anything about these things, and she didn't have an idea in her heart after going around the market twice.

There is a boss with a fat head and big ears, and his smile is very honest, seeing Shen Qingqing turning around here for so long without purpose, he can't help but say: "Sister, are you here to buy tiles?" ”

"Yes." Shen Qingqing nodded.

"So what tiles do you want to buy? Where is it covered? ”

"This ......" Shen Qingqing didn't know how to say it, so she had to describe it in the end. I'm using it to build a roof, and I want to have a better load-bearing capacity, so I don't know if there are any tiles that can be recommended to me. ”

"Ahh......h This brick tile is the best choice for building a roof, with strong load-bearing capacity, and some time ago, many people's houses were crushed by heavy snow. ”

Isn't this a coincidence, Shen Qingqing thought to herself.

He stopped grinding, bought a certain number of bricks and tiles according to the size of the modified roof, and the boss asked someone to send them to his home.

The next day, the craftsmen who had been invited from the town also came, and began to cover them in full swing.

This winter is cold, hot soup and hot tea are indispensable, Shen Qingqing didn't do anything else after delivering the glutinous rice dumplings from the town, so he hurried back to cook some hot soup for those craftsmen to drink.

For five days in a row, the roof of this house can be regarded as well-built, not to mention that it is completely new and magnificent from a distance, and the home is more or less a little beautiful.

Shen Qingqing was rejoicing in her heart, and at this time, she suddenly heard a crying sound outside the village, which was very loud and very sharp.

Shen Qingqing had to go even if she didn't want to join in the excitement, and as soon as she left the house with Xiaodouding's hand, she saw Mrs. Liu, who wanted to come to her house to steal sugar and fry chestnuts, actually sat on the ground and cried bitterly, and the whole person was crying breathlessly, which made people couldn't help but be moved.

And there were a lot of people around him who opened their mouths to persuade, and Shen Qingqing stepped forward to ask only to know that it was cold this winter, and the beasts on the mountain had nothing to eat and ran down the mountain.

And Mrs. Liu's grandson Dabao was greedy for fun, and was actually taken back by the beast.

As soon as he heard this, Shen Qingqing's heart was blocked by three inches, this was not a trivial matter to be taken by a wild beast, and most of them would not see anyone alive or dead.

She looked at Xiao Douding next to her and couldn't help but hug him into her arms, hugged him tightly, and said intermittently: "Haohao, did you hear those words just now?" You must not leave the house these days. ”

It's not that she's too cautious, it's that she's too scared, and I'm afraid the village hasn't heard of anything like this for more than a decade.
