Stone Village.

With the first winter snow falling, the whole village is rendered white.

Because the weather is too cold and the snow is falling too much, the school has informed everyone in advance that they don't need to go to study for the time being, and they just need to study at home.

The temperature outside is very low, but the renovated Bai family is very warm.

They also have to take off their thick clothes when they stay at home, otherwise they will sweat from the heat.

Old Man Bai and Mrs. Li felt it for the first time, and it turned out that they could still spend winter like this.

Hiding in the warm home, nesting on the soft sofa, watching the snow outside the window, eating snacks, learning the words in the book, comfortable.

Since Mrs. Li said that she wanted to learn to read and write, she also took Old Man Bai to learn together.

The progress of the two of them was relatively slow, but they never gave up.

Especially now that it's cold outside and the house is so warm, they don't bother to go out for a walk, so they concentrate on sitting at home and learning to read.

Mrs. Li is a competitive and showy person.

If she learns which words she knows, she will write them down and show them in front of Old Man Bai.

Old Man Bai was not to be outdone, and tried his best to let himself recognize more words than Mrs. Li, so that when Mrs. Li came to show off in front of him, he could still fight against the army.

Because of the comparison between the two people, the learning progress and efficiency of the two of them are much faster than at the beginning.

The factory is open as usual, and there is a charcoal fire burning inside, but it is not too cold, which makes the people working in the factory quite happy.

If it was winter in previous years, they could only hide at home and wait for the New Year, doing some work such as chopping wood, cooking, sewing and mending, making clothes, shoes and socks.

Those jobs can't make money, and it's cold outside, even if you go into the mountains, you can't find wild vegetables to satisfy your hunger, so you can only save money to live.

Now they can still work and make money in the winter, and the environment is not bad, warm and manageable, not to mention how happy they are compared to before.

Zhang and Bai Meng also took advantage of these snowy days to do embroidery work in their house.

The fine fabrics that Bai Jinli bought back before, as well as the gift fabrics that Bai Jinli received when she got married, were now all taken out by Bai Jinli for them to toss.

After Bai Mo and Xiao Chiwang finished writing today's words, they frequently looked at the heavy snow outside the window in a daze.

With such a big snowfall, it would be nice to go out for a snowball fight and build a snowman.

It's a pity that Mrs. Li and Old Man Bai are sitting there, and they don't dare to go out.

Bai Jinli and Lin Shenyuan sat on the side of the living room and each held a book to read, and after reading for a while, Bai Jinli rubbed her eyes and put the book down.

"Xianggong, I want to go out and play in the snow."

"It's a little cold outside, put on your cloak."

Lin Shenyuan also put down his hand, glanced outside, and took out Bai Jinli's big red cloak.

"Uh-huh, you're with me." Bai Jinli lowered her head and spoke while putting on her boots.

"Okay." Lin Shenyuan watched her finish putting on her shoes, put the cloak on her, and helped her tie the cloak.

"Sister-in-law, I want to go too, can I?" Bai Mo hurriedly ran out of the room and raised his hand, with a hint of pleading in his bright eyes.

"Okay, you go and put on some clothes, it's cold outside." Bai Jinli agreed.

In any case, they are still children, and they will be tired from staying at home and studying all day.

"Sister Meng, let's also go out to play with snow horns." Xiao Chiwang ran to Bai Meng's side and looked at her.

"Go ahead, I'll sew this sleeve warmer first." Bai Meng didn't have too much interest in playing in the snow.

"Then I'm not going either." Xiao Chiwang sat down again.

"Meng'er, go out for a walk, you've been sitting for a long time." Zhang pinched his neck and opened his mouth to persuade Bai Meng.

"Well, mother, then I'll go out for a spin and sew it when I come back in a while. If your neck is uncomfortable, take a break. ”

"Go ahead, I'm fine." Zhang smiled lightly.

Bai Yi was sitting at the desk in their room at the moment, looking seriously at the book on farming that Bai Jinli gave him.

After these days of hard work, he already knows a lot of words and can write a lot of words, but the words he writes are not very good.

The process of reading books is relatively slow, because there are some words that he doesn't know, he has to go to other books to check them, understand the meaning of the words, and then make a note to write them down.

Usually in the afternoon, after Zhang finished his needlework, he would also ask Zhang the meaning of some words and sentences.

Zhang will tell him very carefully and carefully.

Now after hearing Bai Meng's words and Zhang's, he put down the pen in his hand and walked to Zhang's side to speak.

"Lady, you can rest for a while, I'll help you rub your neck."

Put down the needlework in Zhang's hand, pull her to sit down, and then help her pinch her neck.

"Boss, how do you read today?"

"It's a little faster than a few days ago, but there are still some words that I can't understand, and I'll have to trouble the lady to tell me about it later." Bai Yi was a little embarrassed to speak.

"Bring the book now."

"Don't worry, the lady will rest for a while." After Bai Yi finished speaking, he seriously helped her press it again.

In contrast, Bai Qi seemed a little lonely.

After watching the people in the factory get on track, he explained those things, and he took a book in his hand and read it carefully.

After all, everyone in the family is so serious, hard-working and motivated, it would not be good if he dragged his feet.

After putting on her clothes and shoes, Bai Jinli said to Mrs. Li and Old Man Bai.

"Dad, mother, let's go out to play for a while, and come back in a while, if you are tired of reading, rest for a while."

"Girl, it's cold and snowy outside, you should pay more attention and don't fall." Mrs. Li put down the pen in her hand and spoke.

"Don't worry, mother, I'm such an adult, how can I fall." Bai Jinli replied with a smile.

"Mother, I will protect the pears." Lin Shenyuan, who was on the side, also opened his mouth.

"Okay, you can go."

After Bai Jinli and the others went out, Mrs. Li spoke to Old Man Bai.

"Hey, boss, how many words did you learn today?"

"Come, old woman, look, how about these dozen words I wrote?" When Old Man Bai heard Mrs. Li ask, he hurriedly handed over his piece of paper.

"Why are you writing so much today?"

"Uh-huh, I'm a fast learner. Let's see, how about it, is it better than what you wrote? Old Man Bai had a hint of pride on his face.

"What nonsense! My daughter has said that I am talented, I can write and read quickly, I am much better than you, and your writing is definitely not as good as mine. Mrs. Li snorted coldly.

"What is inferior to yours, you take out yours, let's compare and compare."

"Comparison is comparison, who is afraid of whom?" Mrs. Li was not to be left behind.

"It's just that the girls just went out to play in the snow, and now they can't help us take a look."

"What's this? Doesn't the eldest daughter-in-law know how to read? Wouldn't you know if you asked her to come out and see? ”

After Mrs. Li finished speaking, she opened her mouth and shouted Zhang's family.

Zhang was sitting in the room receiving a massage from the daytime, feeling quite comfortable, and when she heard Mrs. Li calling her, she raised her feet and walked out.

"I'll go out with you." Bai Yi also walked out together.

And under Zhang's reminder, he came out with two cups of hot tea and handed them over.

"Dad, mother, are you thirsty? Warm up with a cup of hot tea. ”

"Well, okay, you put down the tea first, come on, eldest daughter-in-law, don't you know how to read? Come and help me and your dad see who writes better? ”

When Mrs. Li saw Zhang coming over, she took her hand and sat down, pointed to the two pieces of paper in front of her and asked.

"This ...... Let me see. Zhang glanced at Bai Yi with some embarrassment, and then put his gaze on the paper.

Since Mrs. Li and Mr. Bai began to learn calligraphy, such a situation has occurred from time to time.

Sometimes Bai Jinli and Lin Shenyuan were not at home, and Mrs. Li would call the Zhang family to come over to teach her.

Zhang is very patient, gentle and gentle, and has his own way of teaching, but he is liked by Mrs. Li.

So these days, their relationship is obviously much better than before.

"The word that Dad wrote today has begun to show its style, and it can be seen that it is very attentive, and it has more charm than a few days ago, especially the last line, especially obvious.

This pair of words of the mother is like her temperament, straightforward and enthusiastic, unique, especially the outline of these words, which is very in place.

I took a look, the two of you have written almost the same number of words today, and they have both made great progress, if you have to compare the high and low, and blame your daughter-in-law for being stupid, you really can't tell the difference. ”

Naturally, Zhang couldn't directly say who was good and who was bad, so he could only look at the words of the two people, try to find the progress in their words, and say those words.

Sure enough, the next moment, I heard Mrs. Li speak.

"So, I'm on par with your father?"

"Well, so to speak." Zhang nodded.

"Okay, I see. I thought I could surpass your dad if I worked so hard, hey! ”

"You old woman, you still want to surpass me, don't even think about it! Let me tell you, in a few days, I will definitely be better than you. Old Man Bai snorted.

As a man in the family, how can he let Mrs. Li compare to the past, this is definitely not good.

He had to work harder to outdo the old woman.

"Phew! You dead old man, you have learned to speak big, come on, come on, I'm waiting for you to overtake me. Mrs. Li sighed and looked at Old Man Bai provocatively.

"Dad, mother, let's have some tea." Zhang picked up the tea on the table again and handed it to Mrs. Li and Old Man Bai.

"Hmm." The two took it and drank it.

"Alright, you should be busy, I'm going to keep writing." Mrs. Li glanced at Zhang and said.

"Mother, it's easy to hurt your eyes after writing for a long time, why don't you play chess with my father for a while?" Zhang opened his mouth to suggest.

"Playing chess?"

"I heard Lizi say that playing chess can exercise your brain, and you can rest, and if you read and write later, you will learn faster." Zhang.

"Really? Did Pear really say that? Mrs. Li looked at her with some disbelief.

"Nature is true."

"Okay, providence, you go and take out our chess pieces. Eldest daughter-in-law, you will teach us in a moment. Mrs. Li spoke.

"Okay, mother."

Taking advantage of the fact that Bai Yiyi had not yet come, Mrs. Li asked again.

"I remember that your mother was not in good health before, how is it lately? Why didn't you see her coming, our house was knocking on the door? ”
