Sixty-seven, warmth

It was cold, Run'er was greedy for the hot quilt, refused to get up, and heard Qingzhi shouting outside: "It's snowing!" It's snowing! Daxi, quickly climbed out of the warm quilt, lifted the curtain and slipped out of bed, jumped on the verandah barefoot, and before he saw the snow, he was stopped by Qingzhi and carried back to the room, and his little butt was slapped crisply twice-

"I don't wear clothes or socks, I dare to get out of bed, won't Sister Qingzhi beat people!"

Before the words fell, Zong Zhi in the next room also jumped out, also jumping barefoot in single clothes: "Oh, oh, it's snowing, Uncle Ugly is coming back!" ”

Xiaochan ran out angrily and dragged Zongzhi back.

After a while, the little brother and sister came out in thick clothes and hats, and asked in a loud voice:

"Uncle Ugly is coming, right?"

"Has Uncle Ugly already crossed the river?"

“……”

Xiaochan and Qingzhi were tired of coping, and coaxed: "Xiaolangjun is coming back soon, you two have to be good, go wash first, eat breakfast and wait for Uncle Ugly to come back." ”

The two children scrambled to wash, and after breakfast, it was about the end of the day, and they climbed the porch to see the snow falling in the sky, and asked their grandmother, "Why hasn't Uncle Ugly come back?" ”

Chen's mother Li was also worried, he must be on the road at this time, it was freezing and snowing heavily, and it was difficult to walk, so he said: "It's coming back soon, you two go to the study to read and practice calligraphy first, your ugly uncle came back and heard that you were reading, and saw you practicing calligraphy, how happy you are?" ”

When Zong Zhi and Run'er heard it, they felt reasonable, the two of them have not been lazy for more than two months, and insisted on reading and practicing words every day like Uncle Ugly at home before, when the weather was good, they were taken by Jing Nu and Lai Zhen to climb Jiuyao Mountain, looking north, and the two little brothers and sisters discussed which mountain peak in the north was studying behind?

The two children came to the study, each with a volume, and began to read the "Analects" in unison, which was Run'er's idea, saying that when two people read aloud together, the sound would be louder, and Uncle Ugly could hear it outside the door.

After reading it for half an hour, I have read more than half of a "Analects", and I haven't seen Uncle Ugly come back.

Run'er said: "Brother, let's take a break, my mouth is dry." ”

Xiaochan and Qingzhi hurriedly handed over warm tea to the two of them to drink, the little brother and sister drank the water, ran to the corridor and looked at the door for a while, and then came back to start learning words.

Half an hour has passed since I practiced calligraphy, but Uncle Ugly is still nowhere to be seen, the little brother and sister can't sit still, the little hands holding the pen are red from the cold, they are numb, and the words written are so ugly.

Run'er proposed: "Brother, let's go to the gate and wait for Uncle Ugly, right?" ”

Zong Zhi naturally responded enthusiastically, Xiaochan and Qingzhi couldn't resist the two of them, so they had to take them to the gate and stand under the eaves and look around.

The one-armed Jing Nu was also looking at the north road, waiting for Cao Zhi Xiaolangjun and Ran Sheng to come back.

At three o'clock, the wind and snow became more and more urgent, and large snowflakes were overwhelmingly hugging down, and the eyes on the ground turned white.

Jing Nu was more anxious than Zongzhi and Run'er, so he borrowed a wide-brimmed hat from Laifu, held a five-foot willow cane, and said to Chen's mother Li: "The old slave will go to the front road to greet him, maybe Xiao Langjun and Xiao Sheng will cross the river." ”

Zongzhi and Run'er naturally shouted to follow, Chen's mother Li thought that Caozhi should come back today, and when he left, he said that he would leave for the beginning of the month, and today was the ninth day of the lunar month, so he asked Laifu to borrow an oxcart from the patriarch Chen Xian, and drove Zongzhi and Run'er to the direction of Fenglin Ferry to meet him.

Laifu drove the ox cart, Qingzhi and Xiaochan each held a child and sat in the carriage, but the one-armed Jing Nu refused to sit in the carriage, he would rather walk, with a willow cane to support the non-slip, walking faster than the ox cart, Jing Nu is nearly sixty years old, and his muscles and bones are still strong.

There are more than 20 miles of road from Chenjiawu to Fenglin Ferry, Laifu drives, Jingnu walks, welcomes more than ten miles, and there are no pedestrians on the road ahead, only a white expanse.

Seeing that it was close to noon, Laifu obeyed the instructions of the hostess and stopped: "Xiao Langjun is afraid that he will not be able to come back today, even if he rushes to Qiantang today, he will also go to Ding's Manor to visit the little master, he should come back tomorrow, let's go back first." ”

Jing Nu said: "Laifu, you go back first, I will rush to the Fenglin Ferry alone and wait to see." ”

Run'er said with a crying voice: "I won't go back, I'm going to wait for Uncle Ugly at the ferry, Uncle Ugly said that he will come back when it snows, the snow is so heavy, Uncle Ugly will definitely come back." ”

Xiaochan hugged Run'er tightly and coaxed: "Okay, Run'er is good-Uncle Laifu, let's welcome three or four miles." ”

Laifu Wangkong whipped the ox cart and crushed the snow, continued to drive north, and walked for two or three miles, Jing Nu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, leaned on the willow cane on his body, took off the hat and raised it high, as if to block the heavy snow to see the road ahead, and suddenly shouted: "Xiao Sheng - Xiao Sheng -", a willow cane, walking like flying.

Ran Sheng's joyful voice came from the wind and snow thirty zhang away: "Uncle Jing, it's me, Xiao Sheng, and Xiao Langjun, we're back!" ”

Immediately, two figures appeared in the snow shadows, wearing bamboo hats, striding over.

Laifu stopped the car, Xiaochan and Qingzhi hugged Zongzhi and Run'er down, and the little brother and sister ran forward hand in hand, shouting sharply: "Ugly Uncle - Ugly Uncle -"

Run'er ran in a hurry, fell down, and when she got up, she was picked up by a person in the air, with a tall nose bridge, dark eyes, and a smile like a spring breeze, who would it be if it wasn't an ugly uncle? I only heard Uncle Ugly laugh and said: "Run'er and Zong Zhi have come to pick up Uncle Ugly, are you cold?" ”

Run'er's chin was stained with snow, and there were still a few bright tears on her cheeks, laughing and crying, hugging Uncle Ugly's neck and not knowing what she was happy about: "Run'er knows that Uncle Ugly will definitely come back, and when the snow falls heavily, Uncle Ugly will definitely come back!" ”

Chen Caozhi leaned over and picked up Zong Zhiye together, and before he took two steps, he heard two crisp "crunching" sounds on the soles of his feet, and his clogs were broken.

Xiaochan and Qingzhi stood aside and looked at the intimacy of the three uncles and nephews, and their hearts were also warm.

Since Chen Caozhi appeared, Xiaochan's eyes have never moved away from Chen Caozhi's face, and she thought to herself: "Cao Zhixiao Langjun has grown taller and more handsome, which is really fascinating." Suddenly, seeing Chen Caozhi's footsteps stagnant, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong with Cao Zhi's little Langjun?" ”

Chen Caozhi smiled: "Sister Xiaochan, Sister Qingzhi, you are all here, my teeth are broken, you quickly carry Zongzhi and Run'er to the car, this snow is so big." ”

Xiaochan and Qingzhi hugged Zongzhi and Run'er one by one, and Xiaochan greeted: "Xiaolangjun, you also sit in the car, the clogs are broken, and the snow will soak the cloth socks." ”

Chen Caozhi's socks were already wet, and he said, "Can you sit down?" There aren't many roads, so it doesn't matter if you walk back. ”

Xiaochan said: "It's all your own family, what are you afraid of, come up." ”

Chen Caozhi got on the ox cart, and the clogs rested on the back board of the cart.

Only then did Laifu ask: "Xiao Langjun, where is my family coming to Germany?" ”

Ran Sheng sat on the wheel of the car and hurriedly said: "Uncle Laifu, don't worry, how can a person as big as Brother Laide be lost, he is driving behind, he is delayed when crossing the river, and he will not be able to catch up for a while." ”

Laifu said "hehe" twice, and then he was relieved and commanded the scalper to turn around and drive towards the circuit.

Xiaochan suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, the socks are all wet." I couldn't help but say that I stripped off Chen Caozhi's wet socks, touched Chen Caozhi's feet with my hand, and exclaimed: "It's as cold as ice." ”

came in a hurry, and there was nothing to warm up in the carriage, so Xiaochan hugged Chen Caoyi's cold feet tightly in her arms and said, "I'll give Xiaolang Jun Yanyan to Caozhi." "The eyes don't look at Chen Caozhi, they hang their eyelashes, and only look at Chen Caozhi's feet.

Chen Caozhi was a little embarrassed, although his feet were cold, he still felt it, and he was quite sensitive, he could fully feel the warmth and tenderness of Xiaochan's arms, and he hugged him so tightly that the soles of his feet were like stepping on a soft ball-
