Chapter 31: First Snow

It is getting colder and colder in Youzhou, and the house has already burned on the earthen kang, and you have to use a brazier when you do your homework, and then take it away when you sleep, otherwise, you will wait until you get up in the middle of the night and your mouth will be dry.

A protracted wind blew through the village, and the river in front of Ye's house formed a thin layer of ice, withered grass and rotten leaves drifted in the wind, and the flocks of sparrows and gray magpies were rarely seen out of the nest. Winter is quietly coming.

One night, the heavy snow came unexpectedly, Yunxi, who got up on time, found that the house was exceptionally bright, and when he looked up, the bare locust tree was full of white cotton figures, shiny. Is it snowing?

That's great! Yunxi quickly put on his clothes, put on his shoes and rushed out. When I opened the door, a cold air rushed in, and sure enough, it was snowing. Feathery snowflakes fell from the high gray-white sky, and the ground was already covered in snow. Step on it, ho! It's half a foot thick.

Yunxi was happy in his heart, stepped on the snow step by step to the gate of the courtyard, and then staggered back, hurriedly jumping and stomping, there was a lot of snow on his shoes, and then he looked back, two rows of cute little footprints were clearly visible, and he laughed stupidly.

Yuanyuan and Qiulan took a broom to clear the snow, but they were stopped by Yunxi, and she hadn't had enough of it.

After stepping on the snow for a while, I went to rub the snowballs again, rubbed one after another, and put them in rows, so naΓ―ve, is this to divide the fruit?

Holding a handful of snow, white and delicate, slightly cool, I want to take a bite, just lick it with my tongue, I heard Yunjin shout loudly: "Yunxi, you naughty ghost, can you eat snow?" Hurry up and throw it at me! ”

Get! was caught by the little housekeeper's mother-in-law, Yunxi stuck out his tongue and threw it reluctantly. Why can't you eat snow? Didn't the ancients have the elegant habit of cooking snow and making tea? Now there is no industrial pollution in the Great Song Dynasty, and the snow water should be very clean. "Sister, sister, let's collect some snow to make tea to drink, shall we?"

"It's a good idea, but it's not going to work yet, wait for the snow to stop, the snow stops, let's go to the backyard plum tree and pick it, where is the good." Yunjin said.

"Why don't you build a snowman first?" Yunxi proposed again.

"Let's go find Yunxiao and Yunkai together, maybe Yunxiao won't go to school when it snows." Yun Jin agreed with a smile, she also wanted to build a snowman to play.

"Just clear the road in the yard and leave some snow to see." Before leaving, Yunjin did not forget to tell Yuanyuan and Qiulan.

Yunxiao really didn't go to school, it is said that Mr. Zhou said a few days ago that if the snow is far away, you don't need to go to school every day, you only need to go every few days. However, Yunxi still can't build a snowman, because Yunxiao doesn't go to school, she has to go to school, and the school is so close, I really can't find a reason!

After breakfast, the three student babies of Yunxi had to watch Yunjin and Yunxiao walk away, and they were angry with me.

Yun Kai rolled his eyes, and said to Ye Yuan with a smile: "Daddy, if my brother doesn't go to school, he can't stop studying, didn't you say that learning is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat." Yunxi Fu Junzhuo also nodded violently on the side, that is, it is a brother who is in trouble.

"Let's go, you guys, I'm going to check my homework." Ye Yuan knocked Yunxi's head funny, "Your brother will arrange the time himself, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

There was no way, so the three little ones had to enter the classroom dejectedly.

I finally finished the morning class, and when I went out, I saw why the snow had stopped. Yunxi looked up at the sky, 45 degrees sad, nodded and sighed: "Give me a snowflake white, snowflake white!" ”。

"Let's go, it's too late."

The three little ones couldn't eat, so they stuffed their schoolbags into their respective maids and boys, and ran straight out.

As far as the eye can see, there is a vast expanse of white, and the fields and mountains do not seem vast and tall on weekdays, but they have become sacred at this time.

The place they want to go to is a meadow on the river beach, where the slope is gentle, it was originally the sand of the Ye family, because the harvest is really bad, it was abandoned into a meadow, and gradually it has become one of the children's favorite places to play, the second is the river, and the third is the sand pile of the river beach...... In short, more than half of the fun revolves around this crooked river.

In the distance, I could see a group of children on the grass, and even a few adults. I really didn't catch up, the two big snowmen had already been piled up, and they were almost nose and eye, and the three of Yunxi hurriedly ran over.

"Oh, why are you here? We're all piled up. ”

"yes, you're so late, I'm going home for dinner."

……

Isn't it? When I got closer, the faces of these children were all two plateau reds, and even the faces of Yunjin and Yunxiao were also red from the cold. You don't need to look at your hands, they must be red and purple from the cold.

After several good neighborly and friendly efforts by Yunxi, the children in the village are willing to play with her. However, Yunxi needs to study in class, and the children in the village need to do some housework, so the number of times they play is still very small, and they are ashamed, Yunxi can't tell who they are, the name is too casual, the eldest girl is called Dani, the second girl is called Erni, and so on, the surname in the village is mixed, and it is really difficult to distinguish between several who promised to shout Erni. It doesn't matter if you can't tell the difference, it's definitely right to laugh when you see someone.

Unfortunately, the snow is still a little less, and the ice in the river is not frozen, and it will break if it is smashed slightly, so it is impossible to skate, and it is not easy to fish. The snowman saw that he was equipped with a nose and eyes, and it was done, and this favor couldn't help. There was no one to play the snowball fight, and they were all tired of playing, and they were ready to go home for dinner when someone shouted.

But it doesn't matter, then step on the snow to play, step on it, feel crispy and crispy, and make a "clucking" sound. You can also make a pen from a tree branch, use snow as paper, and draw and play as you like. You can also pick up a handy wooden stick and play with the snow vigorously, and the snow foam will fly with the strong wind, which is also very interesting.

Yunxi and the others were all crazy, until the other children came home to eat, their stomachs were hungry, and their shoes were wet, so they ran home.

After returning home, he was inevitably reprimanded, "I don't know the convergence point, the cotton shoes are wet, I don't know if it's cold?" ......" Lin nagged while changing their cotton shoes.

"Mother, I'm hungry." Yunxi said.

"Mother, I'm so hungry too." Yunkai said.

Lin Shi looked at the pitiful little eyes of the two, glared at them, stopped talking, and let the hot food be served. After Yunxi and the two of them had eaten, they brought hot water to soak her feet before putting on their cotton shoes again. It's better to be a mother, others will care about you.

As soon as the sun basked in the afternoon, the snow fell a lot in the evening, Yunxi was worried that the snowman would melt quickly, and at night he and Yunkai went out with a small bucket secretly. Go to the river and break the ice, lift the water, and sprinkle a layer of water on the snowman, so that at night the water freezes and the sun melts slowly.

This is just the first snow of winter, when it gets a little colder, a little more snow will fall, in the previous life, the Yunxi family was from the Central Plains, although it also snowed in winter, but it was not as good as a year. The greenhouse effect has caused global warming, and winters are getting warmer every year. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the cycle of the four seasons, just like the sunset and the moonrise, the yin and yang cycle, all have their prescribed trajectories. The sun should be blazing in the summer, and the snow should be covered in the winter, and it is not a good thing to warm the winter.
