Chapter 39: A Cold Snap from Siberia
39 cold snap from Siberia
The breeze came slowly, a ray of light shone in from the window, opened his eyes, Wei Fuxin turned over on the bed, raised his eyes to look out of the window, lifted the quilt and reluctantly got up, and reached out to touch the bed in a daze.
She usually has a very regular schedule, sleeps after finishing her homework, gets up at 7:10 in the morning, today is Monday, and the school holds a flag-raising ceremony every Monday.
Wei Fuxin tugged on the quilt covering her lap, but she couldn't pull it, only to find that there was a person sitting at her feet, she rubbed her eyes, and said, "Get up, you are pressing my quilt."
Yang Longfei stood up with a few feet and said, "Lazy worm, I'm going to be late for school."
Wei Gospel ignored it, she didn't like to get up early, she would rather go to bed later than get up early, Yang Longfei was indeed stronger than her, no matter how windy or rainy, he would get up early to make breakfast, and then go to school with Wei Siguo, Wei Gospel didn't have time to eat breakfast late, washed his face and pushed open the door, a chill came to her face, she shrunk her neck and shivered.
Walked to the clothesline in the yard, rummaged through his school uniform in a row of frozen hard clothes, the clothes that Li Yuehua washed yesterday were covered with a thick layer of ice, and the crystal clear ice was hanging under the clothes, the sun swept over the eaves, seeing that the time was not in a hurry, Wei Gospel became more and more irritable, and shouted: "Mom, where is the school uniform you washed for me?"
She put the school uniform she had worn for a week into the basin on Friday, and specially told Li Yuehua to wash her out and dry it as soon as possible, so as not to delay the flag-raising ceremony on Monday.
Li Yuehua was busy in the kitchen at this time, and said: "I found out that your school uniform was not dry in the morning, so I took it to the stove and baked it, and it is still damp, or you don't wear a school uniform, it is easy to catch a cold in wet clothes on a cold day."
Wei Gospel was not happy when he heard it, and said loudly: "Mom, didn't I let you wash your school uniform on Friday, it's been two days, why haven't the school uniforms been dry yet!"
Li Yuehua set up a shelf next to the stove, and Wei Fuxin's school uniform was placed on the shelf, and said helplessly: "What's the way, Saturday and Sunday are cloudy, the weather is too cold, the water in the tank is frozen, and the wet clothes freeze as soon as they are hung on the clothesline, you don't see it."
Wei Gospel didn't care what the explanation, and said sullenly: "It's like this every time, the teacher criticized me last time I didn't wear a school uniform to school, Sun Tingting and Li Li's school uniforms are also washed every week, and I haven't seen them wear wet school uniforms, Li Li said that her mother put her school uniform on the radiator and baked it, and the school uniform dried overnight."
Wei Gospel stomped his feet anxiously, why was it easy to be with others, but it was more difficult for her than to ascend to the sky.
Li Yuehua sighed, and explained bitterly: "Doesn't Li Li's family live in a building, there is a washing machine and heating at home, and the washing machine will dry up as soon as it is thrown off, our family has nothing, you don't want to compare everything with Li Li, people's parents are oilfield workers, your father is just a part-time worker, how can our family compare with them."
Wei Gospel pouted.
She'd heard enough of it, and it seemed like the same reason every time.
The people who live here coincide with Li Yuehua's thoughts, feeling that they will not stay here for long, and they may move away one day, and this place is not a place for all of them to stay for a long time.
So I don't know how many hands the TV at home has turned, sofas, tables and chairs are almost all bought cheaply from the scrap yard, for them, it's not cost-effective to buy a new one, if you leave one day, you can't take it away, although the furniture of the scrap yard is old, but it doesn't affect the use, even if you don't live here, it's not a pity that those worthless things are lost.
Wei Fuhai and Li Yuehua have never regarded this place as their home, Li Yuehua always muttered, when she returned to her hometown, she should still ask for the land back, when she first came to Tianjin, she told the people in the village that when they returned to their hometown, they would return the land to them.
Li Yuehua never forgot the seven or eight acres of land in his hometown, but Wei Fuhai didn't take it to heart, in his opinion, what is good about farming, first, farming can't make a lot of money, and second, farming is really hard.
Wei Fuhai's attitude towards farming is the same as Wei Fuhai's, she has watched too many TV dramas about the countryside, and her impression of the countryside is not very good.
She felt that Li Yuehua was worried, what are you doing when she goes back to her hometown, aren't they good here, she was born and raised here, and she has never returned to her hometown for more than ten years, and she feels that her grandparents are just characters in books and have nothing to do with her.
Wei Gospel is a stubborn temper, she walked into the kitchen angrily, snatched the school uniform from Li Yuehua's hand, and the piercing chill of the moment her fingers touched her fingertips, regardless of Li Yuehua's dissuasion, she put on the school uniform.
Li Yuehua sighed behind her, she still knew her children's temperament, and the four children had very different personalities.
The eldest Wei Fujuan is not good at studying, she dropped out of school before finishing the eighth grade, she is diligent, as long as she is at home, she keeps the room in order, laundry and cooking is not a problem, the third Wei Fuling has no heart and lungs, and follows her second sister's ass all day long, what her second sister says is what she is, she has no opinion, Wei Siguo is still young, and she knows that she is tired of being with the Yang brothers all day long.
Li Yuehua only didn't understand her second daughter, when she was a child, she knew that she was the smartest of the four children, and now she can't understand her mind more and more, so she shook her head helplessly, and said: "Why are you so stubborn, you just tell the teacher that your school uniform has not been washed and dried, your teacher will understand the situation of our family, and he won't blame you."
Wei Gospel insisted on wearing a damp school uniform, his mouth pouted, and said angrily: "Forget it, I won't tell the teacher, I'd rather freeze to death than tell him, the teacher doesn't like me anymore, and I should think that I am deliberately against him, besides, the whole class wears school uniforms to school, so it's not good if I don't wear them, forget it, don't talk about it."
Li Yuehua couldn't resist Wei Gospel, and asked her to eat breakfast before leaving, Wei Gospel was silent, picked up his schoolbag and walked out of the door.
Unconsciously in December, although he has experienced thirteen cold winters in the north, Wei Gospel feels that this year's winter is much colder than in previous years, Wei Fuhai said that in fact, every winter is almost cold, and this year is not much colder than in previous years, but she doesn't remember.
There was a thin layer of ice on the water on the side of the road, Wei Gospel sighed and warmed his hands, the weather forecast said that this cold snap came from Siberia, why did the cold snap in Tianjin come from Siberia every year.
