It only snowed yesterday, and this morning, the sun has shown its head after a long absence.

Under the eaves hung a row of ice edges, which shimmered brilliantly in the sun, and it didn't take long for them to begin to melt, and the water droplets hit the ground with a continuous ticking sound.

Sweet girl went out for a snowball fight yesterday and built a snowman, played all day, and came back so tired that she fell asleep.

The sun came out, and I was still lying in bed until I was woken up by the sound of dense dripping.

Sweet chick also hears faint voices of speech and laughter.

In winter, everyone is at home, and there is not much farm work in the fields, and the family is in the house at this time.

She rubbed her eyes and got up in a daze, "Milk, there's a rain leak in the house." ”

Mrs. Zhang's voice came through the door, from far and near.

"If you look at the sun outside, it's not raining at all, and it's still leaking."

Before he could finish speaking, the man had already appeared at the door.

"Get up and see for yourself."

She said as she dressed Sweet Girl.

"I hear the sound of dripping water."

Sweet chick sits on the edge of the bed, arguing with reason.

"When the sun comes out, won't the snow outside melt, and when the snow melts, it will become water?"

After getting dressed, Mrs. Zhang combed her braids again and replied casually.

The sweet girl stopped talking.

When she was ready, she looked up at the ceiling and then down at the ground.

Jumped out of bed again, pushed open the window, and stuck his head out to look out.

The ice ridges hanging under the eaves were about to melt away, and there was only a little left, and the dripping speed was a little slower, but the small puddles below were very conspicuous.

Sweet girl closed the window, finally believing her grandmother's words.

She glanced at it secretly, and Mrs. Zhang didn't seem to mean to laugh at her, but maybe she would remember it later?

To be on the safe side, Sweet Niu opened the door and ran towards the bright room.

There were many women's voices in the bright room.

They gathered around the sewing machine, some of them came to see the new things for a long time, and some of them wanted to ask the two aunts to help sew some clothes.

The weather in the north is like this, it has just entered December, it is already very cold, you have to hurry up and hurry up to make warm clothes.

Otherwise, when it comes to the winter solstice, the day when the water really drips into ice, it will be bearable.

Mrs. Zhang saw that the weather was fine today, so she simply drove her out to play.

It's not cold when it snows, it's cold when it melts.

If there is no sun today, Mrs. Zhang will definitely leave her at home.

But Sweet Girl was too crazy yesterday and really doesn't want to go out today.

She moved a small stool by herself and leaned over to watch the second aunt use the sewing machine to make clothes.

The piece of fabric she had in hand was blue-gray, and the little daughter-in-law next to her made two gestures, and she used scissors to cut out the shape, which was a cotton jacket, which should be worn by the little daughter-in-law herself.

Sweet girl raised her head and recognized.

There are various ways to call people in the village, such as Qin Liuya, some call her Xiaoya, some call her Sister Liuya, and more people will call her the daughter-in-law of Endeavor.

Children can't remember too many people, and it's almost the same to call their sister-in-law and aunt by their age.

This woman is a little familiar, she is a new daughter-in-law who married into the village only a few months ago, and she shouts in terms of seniority, and the sweet girl wants to call her sister-in-law.

She was tall and thin, with delicate eyebrows and eyes. is soft and weak, a bit similar to Qin Liuya, but Qin Liuya is very natural, but there is a sense of disobedience in the new daughter-in-law.

Tianniu was curious for a while, and continued to watch Qin Liuya make clothes.

She sewed most of the clothes together, leaving a place for cotton, and the new daughter-in-law obediently opened the bag she was carrying, and the cotton contained in it was snow-white and fluffy, and it looked like this year's new cotton.

Most of the people in the village grow grain, and cash crops such as cotton are very few, at most they only plant one or two points of the field, and keep them for making clothes and quilts at home.

Part of the reason is that the land in the village is not suitable for growing cotton, and the quality of the planting is not good, and it cannot be sold at a high price.

"Lao Liangtou's family also planted cotton this year?"

"Didn't you?"

"This cotton doesn't look like what we can grow here."

Several women bit their ears in the back.

The new daughter-in-law looked back and smiled.

"I just got married, Brother Min loves me, there are clothes at home, so he has to add new ones, and he specially went to the city to buy this cotton."

The tone and speed of speech are just right, and the shyness deliberately shown is used to cover up the euphemistic pride.

Sweet Girl couldn't distinguish such complex emotions, but she felt that these words sounded a little uncomfortable in people's hearts.

When the new daughter-in-law said such a sentence, she did not substantially harm anyone's interests, and the more generous women did not care about this, and passed with a smile.

Of course, there are still people in the crowd who are not so generous.

A younger woman jumped out, her voice sharp.

"Your brother Min probably sees that you are too dressed to be on the table, and your family is not so poor that you can't open the pot, why are you all in tatters?"

This man really doesn't play his cards according to common sense.

The new daughter-in-law's face was red, and she didn't know whether she was ashamed or annoyed.

In the end, he simply covered his face, and tears flowed down in a few seconds.

"My mother's family is poor, but they are all self-reliant, even if my clothes are old, they are all well sewn, why do they become tattered in your mouth? You...... How can you say that? ”

After she finished speaking, she threw the bag in her hand and ran out directly.

The young woman still relented, "I didn't say anything about her, who is she going to show like this?" ”

One party has already left, and there is no need for the round to come out again, everyone is silent, and no one knows what they think in their hearts.

Qin Liuya has been focusing on the work in her hands, and has not been involved in the competition between the two.

She picked up the cotton and stuffed it into her clothes little by little, and walked the thread a few more times to prevent the cotton from running.

When he had finished his clothes, he looked up, as if he had just noticed that the person was gone, and asked the other woman next to him.

"Where did Aimin's daughter-in-law go? It's still there. ”

"I quarreled with Dawei's daughter-in-law and ran away angrily."

"This kid doesn't have any clothes. Why don't you wait a while and I'll send her the clothes first?" ”

Qin Liuya folded the padded jacket and stood up.

A woman standing behind hurriedly stopped her, "Our two families live close, I'll just bring it to her later." ”

There is no way, there are only the two daughters-in-law of the Ou family who can use sewing machines, and if you want to count on He Xiaohe, it is better to take it back and sew it with needle and thread.

Qin Liuya was actually just making a show, and he really didn't plan to send it in person. First, she doesn't have too deep a friendship with Aimin's daughter-in-law, and secondly, it's cold in winter, who wants to run outside without anything?

This little argument didn't seem to have much of an impact on everyone, and it wasn't long before the voices of women chatting were heard in the room again.

After dinner, the family sat at the table and chatted.

Mrs. Zhang had the heart to tease the sweet girl and asked her if she remembered what happened in the morning?

Sweet girl nodded.

After all, the speed at which Aimin's daughter-in-law changed her face was something she had never seen before, and she was naturally very impressed.

Mrs. Zhang then asked her, what do you think about this matter?

"What Aimin's sister-in-law said was a little strange and didn't sound very comfortable. But Dawei's sister-in-law said even more excessively. ”

Mrs. Zhang laughed.

"Aimin's daughter-in-law wants to show off the new cotton that her man bought for her, and Dawei's daughter-in-law will talk about her."

"Little sweet girl, you can't learn to love the people's daughter-in-law, what are the good things, let's just know for ourselves, and we can make a fortune by muffling it. You can't learn from Dawei's daughter-in-law, and you still have to be tolerant. ”

The sweet girl nodded as if she didn't understand.
