Chapter 136: Vacation
The weather is getting cold day by day, on this day, Su Xiao was startled as soon as she opened her eyes, it was already bright outside, why did she get up late, she had already taken the alarm clock in the supermarket, why didn't she think about it today?
She hurriedly got dressed, opened the door and looked, wow, it turned out to be snowing outside, snowflakes were flying all over the sky, and the ground was silvery white.
Grandma also came out when she heard the movement, and said to her with a smile,
"I'm scared, I'm scared just now, it's only six o'clock, it's still early."
Now that they got up, Su Xiao also went to the kitchen to help grandma cook, and there is now a supply of coal in the town, but the quantity is very small, so they still use a big stove to burn some firewood.
"Grandma, let's use coal to burn the kang at home, that one is burned, and now it's too cold, I can't let the kang be cold."
Although my grandmother is not short of money, she is also very frugal, starting to burn the kang every day in the evening, and only lighting the stove during the day, if she cooks, there is always some heat in the past.
"Hehe, little one, the milk will be burned in a while, are you taking the exam today? Come back earlier than usual. ”
"Well, I'll be back at half past ten today, or I'll go sell coal, one of my classmates said, there is black market coal in Nantou, grandpa is not good to go, I'm small anyway, and those people won't be caught."
She just told her grandmother in advance that she would definitely buy it after the exam. She also plans to buy some for her own family, and her mother always gets up in the middle of the night to add firewood to the kang.
I took two exams in the morning, and the last one handed in the paper half an hour early, packed my schoolbag and ran out, there is still a way to the south of the city, the snow is too slippery today, and she doesn't plan to ride a bike.
I went to the south of the city, according to what my classmates said, when I got to the third willow tree, sure enough, there was a person wearing a torn cotton jacket, so cold that he stomped his feet back and forth.
"Uncle, is there coal for sale? I want to buy coal. ”
As soon as the man turned his face, Su Xiao felt embarrassed, this person's face was full of furrows, and he definitely had to call someone uncle.
"Little girl, do you want to buy coal? Why don't the adults in the family come? ”
"My grandfather went to work, and it's the same when I come to buy it, and I pay for my travel expenses, you help me send it home." Although black market coal is not allowed to be bought, it is not too strict, and most of these coals are inferior soot, but burning the kang does not affect anything.
"Hehe, you don't need money to send coal, how much do you want, do you know the price?"
"You know, five cents and two catties, I want two hundred catties, this is five yuan." The man took off his gloves and paid five yuan, and asked for the address, as soon as Su Xiaogang said, the man smiled and said:
"Hehe, it turned out to be Dr. Sun's family, I know, I know, he also came to us to buy it in previous years, didn't I hear that he has a granddaughter?"
"You are far away, when my family holds a family banquet, no, the neighbors know it." It turns out that this is a recognized granddaughter, and she is really capable.
"You go back first, it's too cold this day, I'll let the eldest son send it to your house in a while, don't worry, I will definitely pick some good ones." In this era, doctors are very popular, and Dr. Sun is a famous doctor.
After this was done, she ran home in the snow, and the snow was even denser, and after the exam tomorrow, the school will be closed, and she will go home.
She thought about cutting a piece of meat for a while, and it would be good to eat a hot dumpling on a snowy day today.
When I got home, my grandmother had already made a noodle soup and put some spicy noodles on it, and she didn't raise her head to eat, and her grandfather said slowly.
"It's so delicious, I went to Nantou today to buy coal, someone just pushed half a pig to sell, let's eat dumplings for dinner, I got out of school early, just to help."
"Do you still want your help with the dumplings for three people? Grandma is alone, what kind of stuffing do you want to eat? Cabbage or turnip? "It's cold now, what else is there besides these two?
"Grandpa loves to eat radish, let's eat radish filling."
"If you eat cabbage, you and your grandmother both love cabbage, and I can do it if I have a mouthful of wine." Grandpa's loose wine was all replaced by her with the second pot head of the space, although it is not Wuliangye or the like, it is also more fragrant than the current loose wine.
After the exam, Su Xiao hired a carriage, took the coal he bought, and returned to the small village, the farmland was covered with thick quilts, looking at the endless silver and white, she seemed to have entered the ice and snow world.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back, come and unload the coal." She took off the baggage from the car and ran into the gate, but she didn't expect her aunt to be at her house.
"Yo, your family has made a fortune, and even bought coal?"
"It was given to me by my grandfather, and he was afraid that my mother would freeze, so he asked me to bring it back." In the name of grandpa, it's good,
My aunt stopped talking, and when Su Dahai saw the two big bags of coal, she squinted her eyes happily, it was really cold to get up every day to add firewood. Especially when the bed is hot.
As for where this came from, he has long been accustomed to not asking, anyway, the family's financial power is not in his hands, and he can only use it when he buys it home.
But her mother asked, Su: "Grandpa is buying it, and I divided half of our family, I'm afraid that my mother will be cold." This is for her father, not to be poor and generous, although the Sun family recognizes Xiaoxiao as a granddaughter, it is still because she likes her mother.
"Su Xiao, what are you carrying in your hand? What's the big chunk? "Meat, Su Xiaobai glanced at her, it's the New Year soon, she wants her mother to fill some sausages, so she took a large piece of front leg meat and took a casing.
"Mom, I want to eat sausages, you can pour a little today, smoke it with firewood, let's eat it for the New Year, my brother and sister are back."
"Okay, this is also what your father gave, alas, he always makes his old man break the bank, and his mother washes her hands and goes to cut meat."
The mother and daughter cooperate tacitly, anyway, as long as they say that it was given by their grandfather, it has nothing to do with her father, and it has nothing to do with the old and young of the old Su family.
When my aunt heard that they wanted to stuff sausages, she immediately went to find her mother.
"Isn't that a bad thing? If you don't eat the fresh meat, you can't bite it when it's stuffed into sausages, and it's also a lot of scales. Tell me something, get me some, they haven't eaten meat for a long time. She heard that the team was going to distribute the grain, so she ran back to her parents' house today, but the captain said that the pigs would be raised for a few more days and then divided when the snow stopped.
"Alas, your mother's words don't work now, didn't you hear them just now? It was given by her grandfather, how can I be the master? ”
Grandma pouted her lips and looked unwilling, but she no longer dared to let her daughter take it away like last year, she had enough time at the eldest son's house in those months, and every bowl of rice had to look at her daughter-in-law's face, she really didn't want to embarrass her eldest son and grandson.
"Mom, I won't take it all this time, what about such a big piece, just cut it in half for me, you go and say, the sea listens to you." That was before! Grandma added in her heart, but she couldn't stand her daughter's soft grinding and hard bubbles, so she still went to the kitchen.
