As soon as Zou heard that Mrs. Liu had asked her to go shopping together tomorrow morning, she felt unreliable and was hesitating to postpone her speech.

"Ah, tomorrow I'm going to send the kids to school. I woke up early, and I was afraid ...... "We won't be able to go together in time." Before Zou finished speaking, he was interrupted by Mrs. Liu.

"What are you afraid of, it's only now that I don't have grandchildren or granddaughters. Doesn't the Xu family also have two grandchildren and granddaughters to go to school? Let's be together, what are we afraid of? That's it! Mrs. Liu said with a disapproving face, and then walked away.

Zou: I'm just afraid of you, I've always been free, if I oversleep tomorrow, I'm calling you? Or not called?

That's it, that's it, I'm not the only one who is troubled anyway!

The next day, early in the morning.

Before dawn, Zou got up and cooked on the fire.

Because there was no electricity in the house, she got dark, took out a box of matches, lit one, lit a kerosene lamp, and by the faint light, she got dressed and got out of bed, and then walked to the kitchen with the kerosene lamp.

As she walked through the hall, she took the kettle that was placed on the square table in the four corners.

Straight to the kitchen.

She used the water in the kettle and washed up briefly.

When he was a little sober, he quickly put the rice off the pot with his hands and feet, and refilled the soup iron pot on the spare stove behind the rice pot.

Just to the left of the stove, I pulled a small wooden bench and sat down.

Zou grabbed a handful of bamboo shoot shells mixed with bamboo chips to start a fire, and when the fire was ignited, he slowly picked up three or two large pieces of wood from the ground and put them in the stove to burn together.

The fire was so strong that the water in the iron pot soon boiled.

It wasn't until this moment that Zou, who was burning the fire under the stove, remembered one thing - she forgot to boil eggs for her two granddaughters!

Zou thought to himself: Reading is a brain-consuming thing! It's not possible to keep up with nutrition! No, this egg has to be boiled!

She quickly stood up, walked around the stove, and came to the one-man tall cupboard.

Open the cupboard.

On the penultimate floor of the cupboard, he took out four eggs, then walked back to the stove, scooped out a scoop of water from the large stone water tank on the side, carefully rinsed the eggs, and then hurriedly put them into the iron pot.

After finishing this, she took the plate to the side of the kimchi jar, took some capers with chopsticks, and put them on.

After putting it on, bring it back to the stove and set it away.

In addition, I took a piece of vegetable table from the wall, cleaned it, buckled the capers on the top, chopped them into sections of the same length, and finished on a plate.

After doing this, Zou ran back to the bottom left of the stove, looked at the fire, and put some of the firewood that had fallen out into it.

Counting the time, Zou estimated that the rice was almost burned, so he took out the superfluous and unburned wood from the stove and put it into the ashes under the stove, which were blocked by large stones, so as to isolate the air and cause it to collapse.

Not only that, but she also used tongs to clean up all flammable and non-flammable objects near the stove.

At this time, the originally dark sky had already appeared white mist.

It's almost time, and it's time to get the granddaughters up for breakfast.

Zou took a pair of fire tongs and inserted them into the ash noise.

Get up, scoop water, wash your hands, dry them, and go back to the house in one go.

Zou called Yan Feng first.

Yan Feng put on her clothes and shoes sleepily, and went to tidy up her small schoolbag.

She is already in the first grade, and she is barely used to this busy study life.

Zou walked away satisfied. She continued to wake up her little granddaughter at home.

"Yan Yan? Yan'er! It's almost time to get up, get up, wash up, eat, and go to school in a while! Zou gently patted Yan Yan's shoulder and admonished.

"No~, I'm sleepy! Mother-in-law. Yan Yan, who unconsciously finished lying coquettishly, muttered to herself, and didn't even open her eyes.

"......" Zou frowned slightly, obviously choking.

After a while.

"Okay, get up, my mother-in-law will wash your face in a while, and you won't be sleepy." Zou lifted the quilt as he spoke, ready to pull Yan Yan to get up.

"Huh~ No, don't get up! Ahh

Yan Feng, who had already finished washing up in the hall and had just picked up the dishes and chopsticks to prepare for dinner, first heard Yan Yan crying reluctantly, then felt that she was losing her temper, and then heard her crying voice.

Yan Feng suddenly couldn't sit still, she put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and ran to the back room. I heard the angry voice of my mother-in-law, Zou.

“…… Are you going to me off today! If you make any more trouble, I'll ......"

Zou said and began to pretend to scare people.

was interrupted by a crisp children's voice.

"Mother-in-law."

Hearing this voice, Yan Yan's eyes lit up first.

"Hey, Xiaofeng, why did you get in? You go eat first. Mother-in-law will wake up your sister now. Go out to eat in a while. ”

When Zou turned around, he saw Yan Feng holding the door frame with one hand, facing them, his face hidden in the light of the lights and candles, and he couldn't see what his expression was.

"Well, mother-in-law. You let me help my sister get up and get dressed! ”

After Yan Feng finished speaking, he walked up to them and took Yan Yan's clothes from the shelf on the side.

She called softly, "Sister, come here!" I'll dress you. ”

"Okay."

Yan Yan, who had never cooperated with Zou's dressing, seemed to have figured it out at this time, and obediently came out of the bed and walked to Yan Feng's side.

She was still in bed.

Seeing this, Zou didn't say anything and walked out of the house.

"Here, raise your hand, well, the other one." Yan Feng stood on the edge of the low bed, methodically dressing Yan Yan who was standing on the bed.

"......" Yan Yan was silent, cooperative, and melancholy.

During this period, when Yan Feng dressed Yan Yan, she asked Yan Yan to sit on the edge of the bed, and she tied two pigtails and shoes for her.

In this way, Yan Yan, under the leadership of her sister Yan Feng, cleaned up and went out of the back room (bedroom).

Yan Feng walked out of the back room first.

Yan Yan followed behind, she was a little apprehensive, she had made her mother-in-law angry just now!

Could my mother-in-law still be angry now? If she goes out now, will her mother-in-law scold her?

To her surprise, Zou was particularly pleasant at this time.

"It's all packed, come over and wash up, and get ready to eat."

This was said to Yan Yan, and she was the only one who hadn't washed yet.

"Uh, uh-huh. Mother-in-law. Yan Yan nodded, and glanced at Zou with some guilt, as if to confirm that Zou was still angry.

As a result, she found that Zou seemed to have forgotten the unpleasant thing that had just happened.

She silently walked to the washbasin, first picked up the water, tested the water temperature, and then prepared to rub a towel and wash her face.

The shape of the towel is wide and long. When wet, it looks very heavy.

Yan Yan is small and has little strength. The action of rubbing the towel was like rubbing a huge fritter that she couldn't pinch, and it was laborious.

Zou looked at it for a while, and then he couldn't stand it anymore.

She walked over, took the towel from Yan Yan's hand, rubbed it, wrung it out and wiped it on Yan Yan's face.

After her scrubbing, Yan Yan instantly felt much refreshed, no longer awkward, and even her mood became beautiful.

"Mother-in-law, I'm hungry." Yan Yan unconsciously sprinkled coquettishly.

"Okay, eat, it's time to leave for school in a moment."

Where would Zou really be angry with his granddaughter, just now he just wanted his granddaughter to cooperate with getting up and dressing or something, and he was also thinking about going to school at this time.

She waited for Yan Yan and the others to finish eating, so she asked the two of them to check the contents of their schoolbags, take them, and carry them well.

Zou put away the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen, and cleaned them quickly.

When she came out of the kitchen, she saw the two sisters, who had already packed up, and were sitting around the table, waiting for her.

She was about to call them away. I heard a knock at the door, knocking.

"Which one?"

"Granny Zou, it's us!"

"Oh, wait, I'll open the door for you right away."

Yan Yan blinked, thinking that they were coming!

They refer to the Xu family.

Outside the door, it was the mother-in-law of the Xu family, Lin, who came over with her grandson Xu Jiayue and granddaughter Xu Jialan.

With a squeak, the door of the Yan family's hall opened a crack, and then it was all open.

"Ah, Sister Lin came over so early! We've just just packed up. ”

Zou is embarrassed, everyone has come to the door, it can be seen that they should have been waiting for a while.

"Well, it's okay, it's still early! Sister Zou. ”

Lin is a very gentle person, and he usually treats people and makes people feel kind and comfortable.

Zou also likes her. We started talking.

"Mother-in-law, you can go."

The one who interrupted the enthusiasm of the two was Xu Jiayue, who was standing next to Lin.

Xu Jiayue is the person Yan Yan admires in addition to her sister!

The reason is simple, he is the head of all the children.

Xu Jiayue and Yan Feng are the same age and are classmates.

As primary school students, they have to go to school earlier and pay more attention to their time than Yan Yan, who is in kindergarten.

"Hmm. Then Sister Zou, look, let's go first. Second Sister Liu, I don't know if I can afford to get up. ”

Lin heard his grandson's urging and asked Zou about sending the children to school first.

"That's fine. Anyway, we have time! It's important to send the kids to school first. ”

Zou also agreed, and he was ready to do so.

She asked the children to follow Lin and go to the front, and she locked the door in the back and went to chase them.

But the Lin clan disagreed and said, "Oh, Sister Zou, let's not miss this little time!" Let's go together! ”

"Alright, you guys wait a minute, I'll lock the door."

Of course, Zou knew that it was not bad, she just didn't want to delay other people's time, but everyone said so, obviously she didn't care about that, so she naturally did not push it halfway.

As a result, it was four little ones who walked in front, and two adults who followed slowly in the back, chatting.

In February, October, and August, I dressed indiscriminately.

It is said that the weather has been unstable these months. Wear clothes according to your physical condition.

So, ah, it caused a weird phenomenon.

Some people wear cotton jackets, some people wear autumn shirts, and some people even wear summer clothes.

It's February, and it's the time to get dressed.

On a February morning, there was still a thick white fog and a cold wind.

The Zou family saw that the white fog on the road was so thick that they couldn't even see the road clearly, so they decisively chose the main road.

The main road is not an easy to walk, paved with stones, but a natural dirt road.

It's just a little more spacious than the path, so it's called the big road.

It was said earlier that the Lin family came to the Yan family, which made the Zou family ashamed, in fact, there is another reason, that is, the Xu family was originally located next to the road.

And the Yan family, it is the path that is directly connected.

As he was walking, a panting voice reached everyone's ears from afar.

"Hey, wait...... Wait for me! ”
