Chapter 99: Back to My Mother's Home
Walking on the road, Erlang was sweating, but his feet were cold. My shoes were also wet, and my feet were soaked in snow. What a sin!
Jiro was very dissatisfied, and he had never encountered such a situation. The further you go into the mountains, the worse the road conditions become. I have never been in the mountains or walked through mountain roads during this season. Erlang complained very much about such hardship.
"It would be nice to have experience next year. When we go into the mountains next year, we will be more prepared. It won't be so embarrassing. Lan Niang said with some guilt.
Living in the mountains, Lan Niang knows the condition of the road in winter. The Xin family is poor, and they can't pay attention to it if they want to. After winter, the cat is at home and will never go out. There are no thick winter clothes at home, so I hold Gui Niang for warmth in winter. Chai He also has to calculate and burn. On weekdays, I have to take care of geography, and I can chop wood in my free time, so I can't save too much.
Father Xin, who has loose hands, has to give it to others from time to time, and the firewood is basically not enough. Heating basically depends on shaking. I don't go out in the cold, it's hard to clear the snow, and I feel like I'm going to lose half my life when I go out.
So when I went out, I didn't think about this situation. I feel sick all over, and I will definitely get frostbite on my feet when I go home.
"Let's talk about it next year." Erlang muttered to himself, I don't know what the charter will be next year.
If Daddy Xin still does this next year, it will chill Lan Niang's heart, and she may not come next year. Anyway, it's just a matter of looking for a reason.
One foot deep and one foot shallow, at noon, arrived home.
After knocking on the door for a while, Father Xin bent his waist, and the farmer opened the door with his neck bent, and saw that it was Lan Niang and his family, and he was a little embarrassed to introduce people to the door.
A year ago, I was notified to come back today to pay New Year's greetings, but Father Xin was not prepared. It's already noon, it's still a cold pot and a cold stove, there are only a few potatoes and sweet potatoes in the kitchen, and there is no corn residue.
Not to mention meat, nothing decent was prepared.
Fortunately, I prepared some dry food in the basket I brought. Lan Niang pursed her lips and cooked. Father Xin looked out the door, didn't see Gui Niang's shadow, and asked, "Why didn't Gui Niang come back?" ”
Erlang looked left at him and changed the topic, "We got up early and didn't call her." On such a cold day, Gui Niang is still young, and I am afraid that she will freeze. When the snow melts in the spring and the snow does not close the mountain, come back and take a look. It's a little cold in the house, why don't we light a brazier? ”
"Oh, let's do it. I'm going to look for a brazier. "Daddy Xin went to find a brazier to make a fire.
On weekdays, he helps others, and he doesn't have much firewood at home, so Daddy Xin only lights a brazier at night when he can't stand it. During the day, I stayed up and jumped. Or go to someone else's house to talk, borrow a fire to roast.
When he got busy, Father Xin forgot to ask Gui Niang about it.
Erlang's shoes were wet, and his clothes were not much better, so he took them off for a test, especially his shoes, which were already frozen and hard. I'm going to chill people to death!
After walking such a long way, I was hungry. Didn't make a hard meal, simply heat a hot dry food, drink some boiling water, and deal with it. Erlang's shoes haven't dried yet, and Lan Niang is ready.
Father Xin devoured most of the dry food he brought, and ate most of the dry food he brought.
Erlang and Lan Niang looked at each other and ate a cake for each other, stopped and left it to Daddy Xin.
Looking at this appearance, I am afraid that I haven't eaten anything serious for a long time, Lan Niang is very sad, but she thinks that Daddy Xin did it himself, so she lives such a life, and she hates iron and steel. I really have mixed feelings in my heart.
Lan Niang ate and didn't rest, helping to clean the house inside and out.
Father Xin smiled, "Alas! It's rare to come back, don't be busy. Sit back and rest! You'll be going back later. Take a break for a while. ”
