It was cold, and I added another piece of clothing, so I didn't feel cold. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

For the first time, he was a little nostalgic for another home, and he couldn't hide the sadness in his eyes.

"Brother, what are you thinking?" Seeing Xia Yuanding sitting on the stool and looking outside stupidly without speaking, Xia Yingxue asked out of relationship.

"Oh, I was thinking we could go out and catch fish!" Xia Yuanding hurriedly covered up the past, and looked happy again.

"It's so annoying in this rain, let alone going out, it's so boring to stay in the house!"

What's going on, talking and talking, Xia Yingxue has become the one who is sentimental, Xia Yuanding doesn't know what this sister thinks about every day, and sometimes it's weird.

The courtyard had become a vast sea, and except for the taller stone path, the rest of the place was flooded, and a lone stone mill stood in the courtyard.

"Tell me a story!" Xia Yingxue said.

"If I don't tell it, I'll have those stories, and nothing else!" Xia Yuanding refused.

"Then tell me the story you just told me again!" Xia Yingxue said arrogantly.

“……”

For this strange request, Xia Yuanding was speechless, he had never seen such a thing, he wanted to live.

"Yingxue, come and help my mother put away the woven cloth!"

"Here we go!"

Xia Yuanding began to enter contemplative mode again, knowing that it was time to start eating dinner.

"Dad, haven't come back yet!" Xia Yingxue was used to waiting for her father to come home before eating.

"Don't wait, let's eat first, your father doesn't know when he will come back!" Because of the rainy days, it gets dark early. The entire Dushan Village also became deserted, and neither the roosters nor the dogs crowed as loud as the wind and rain.

In the evening, a torch gradually approached, and the person holding the torch was Xia Shouzhi, who dug a lot of ditches with the villagers on the side of the wheat field, and discharged all the water accumulated in the field into the river so that it could not leak one household at a time, and then rushed home.

"I'm back!" Hearing the voice, Xia Yuanding hurriedly knocked on the door of the main house, and he was sitting with his sister and mother before.

"You sit down and rest first, drink hot water, and I'll get you some food!" It's been so long, the rice is cold, and it needs to be warmed up.

Xia Shouzhi said that the most important thing about the flooding of wheat fields is that they mentioned their fields, and the situation is quite good, only a small part of them have been flooded, but now the water has been drained clean, which does not affect the normal growth of crops.

"By the way, I almost forgot, Yuan Ding, dad will get you something!" Xia Shouzhi suddenly remembered, and hurriedly went to find the thing that he had just placed outside the door.

"It's a little turtle!" As soon as she saw the appearance of the thing, Xia Yingxue first clapped her hands and shouted. It's a pity that it's just one, and my father has already said just now that it's for my younger brother, so she just calmed down after being happy.

Xia Yuanding was a little happy to take over the turtle wrapped in straw rope from his father, but he couldn't show the surprise of the child at the novelty.

Xia Yuanding decided to raise this little turtle well, and then stewed it, it seems that there is a dish called Farewell My Concubine, think about it is also delicious, for the ideal of a foodie, the little turtle is sorry, you better grow up quickly.

"Dad, how can this turtle be fed!"

"This, I haven't heard of raising turtles, you'll release them when you've had enough, we can't raise them."

Xia Yuanding didn't expect that what he got was such an answer, so the idea of waiting for it to grow up could not be realized, it was a pity, there was one less delicious dish in his life, and he was getting farther and farther away from the road of foodie, Xia Yuanding showed an unwilling expression.

"If you want to raise it, when will Dad go to the mountains to catch a hedgehog for you, what do you think?" Xia Shouzhi hurriedly said.

"I'm going up the mountain too!"

"It's just you, you can't get down when you go up, and your father will have to carry you when the time comes." Xia Yingxue pulled her younger brother back to reality.

"That's it, I'll catch you back when the time comes, and take it home, why don't you still run up the mountain."

Even the children who are older than Xia Yuanding only dare to wander around on the hill, there are many stones on the hill, the trees are scarce, and they are short, the old people in the village are herding sheep on the hill, and then there is a big mountain peak to the south, the mountain is high and dense, and it is easy to get lost when you go in.

If he is not allowed to climb the mountain, then his life is not two points and one line, and there is no improvement. Now it seems that the person who needs to grow up quickly the most is none other than him Xia Yuanding, although he does not seek to make a big move, but at least he wants to be a recluse at ease.

At night, Xia Yuanding still squeezed into the east room to sleep, although the rain basically stopped, but the humidity was very heavy.

This kind of rain leakage finally made Xia Shouzhi make up his mind and quickly build the house. For this reason, he has been calculating.

The stones were all neatly carved, and then they were carried down the mountain piece by piece, and piled up behind the house. Other materials are also ready, beams, green tiles, reeds......

As for finding someone, in addition to a few brothers who can help, you have to find a few other craftsmen, which requires money, and it should be enough to calculate the family's savings.

"It's really decided!" Xia Li asked in a low voice.

"Well, cover it when it's fine!"

"When I catch the market next time, I'll sell everything, and I can make up a few dollars, but where do we live for the time being?"

"I'm going to put the kids in Daddy's place, let's vacate the kitchen first, and we can live in it!" Xia Shouzhi thought and said.

"Think about it for so many years, the children are so old, how fast it has been, do you still remember the scene back then!" Xia Li thought that when she got married, she was still a big girl, and now she has become a mother of two children in a blink of an eye.

"What are you talking nonsense, don't go to sleep yet!" After speaking, Xia Shouzhi didn't want to pay attention to his wife.

"At the beginning, the matchmaker said that your family was good, so I agreed, and I only found out when I came!"

"You can't trust the matchmaker's words, don't I do what I say now, what are you not satisfied with!"

"Yes, next time I go back to my parents' house, I can raise my head!" Now she doesn't have too much luxury in life, and she hopes that her children will grow up soon.

The rain stopped, the sun came out, but there was no rainbow, but the road was not dry.

At the beginning of the day after the rain, there is nothing to do.

It's just that my mother is still busy weaving, and my father has to go down to the ground to see, sister, my sister doesn't seem to be busy every day, in addition to learning to weave and embroider, their family is the most leisurely for her, but no one plays with her, and her father and mother are out, and she still has to watch the house. In my impression, Xia Yingxue doesn't have a lot of contact with the female relatives in the village, but the uncle's family has a cousin named Xia Qingxue, but she is already twelve years old, and she can't play with her.

Here I have to mention the eldest uncle Xia Shouren's family, who was placed high hopes on Xia Jizu, and finally lived up to the old man's expectations.

The elder brother can read and write, and now he is not in the village, it seems that he is going to study, Xia Jizu had said angry words before, just because Xia Yuanzhi refused to let him teach.

As soon as I went out in the morning, the scene in front of me was really eye-opening, it was originally a dirt road, after blistering, now stepping on it is a footprint, adults do not pay attention, shoes can be taken off.

Xia Yuanding looked down at his cloth shoes, the soles of the shoes were still a stitch and a thread, which could be stepped on on this road.

"Daddy, hold you!"

As soon as he fell asleep, there was a pillow, Xia Shouzhi's words were gentle and strong, this was the second time he took the No. 11 bus on the way to his grandfather's house.

Of course, after half the way he came down, it was close to the mountains, there were more gravel along the way, and the road was not muddy.

Today he also met the two cousins Yuan De and Yuan Ming, who he didn't meet yesterday, presumably they must not have relaxed, Xia Yuanding believes that with such a heavy rain in Xia, there will still be a chance to go out to play.
