Chapter 8: Chinese New Year
It's already night when Xiaozhou and Kerr come home respectively, Ke'er, holding the cute little brother, watching TV, just waiting for her mother to cook and start eating, after eating due to the cold weather, Kerr washed her feet alone, said hello to her parents and went to the attic after washing her feet, sitting at the desk, sitting quietly with her cheeks back, her eyes staring into the distance through the window, the lights, thinking about the bits and pieces of schooling in her mind......... In the morning, after eating and saying hello to her parents, she ran along the field path, the two rows of poplars were neat, the breeze blew, the branches swayed, and the ice crystals began to fall.
The white trees, the thatch with white eyebrows, were embedded in the dark green wheat fields, and a few little sparrows stopped on the branches and chirped, inadvertently, thinking that they were in a colorful painting.
It was ten o'clock when I got home, and it was cool to look at the white snow. Kerr's father said that he was going to pick oranges, and if he didn't pick them, it would be bad, Kerr's clamoring to go, so he had no choice but to take Kerr, so Kerr's back was a little Lou, and he climbed to the mountain, Kerr's father asked his father to pick an orange, Kerr's holding the orange felt cold and cold, Kerr's peeled off the orange peel, and each petal was separated, like a flower, and each petal had a fine flower center on the top.
Each petal orange has a transparent coat, and the inside is the pulp, the flesh is very similar to corn growing on it, and there is a silk thread under each pulp, dragging the pulp, Keer, a petal of orange put into the mouth, first it is cold and then a little sweet and sour, ah so sweet!
A sweet smell flowed between Kerr's lips, and Kerr's head looked up at her father who was picking oranges, and said; The oranges are so delicious!
Dad didn't come here, Dad looked at Kerr with an orange in his little hand under the tree and said; No, it's cold now, so you have to eat less!
Otherwise, you will have a stomachache, and when Dad comes back after picking oranges, will you bake sweet potatoes for your brothers. Ke'er, shaking his little head, said; All right!
It's been a long time since I've eaten my father's baked sweet potatoes. After picking oranges, Kerr and her father came home at about three o'clock in the afternoon, and Kerr's mother was doing laundry!
The cute brother was taking a nap, Kerr went to the back of the house to bread a pile of firewood, called Dad to light it, and then Kerr put the sweet potatoes in the firewood; After about 30 minutes, she smelled the fragrance of sweet potatoes, and Ke'er couldn't wait to ask her father: Is the sweet potato ripe?
Dad said, "It'll be fine in one more minute" Ke'er and Dad checked the first, second, and third ......, and finally waited for the time to eat.
Kerr looked at the fragrant and hot sweet potato, blew the hot air in her mouth, and ate it with her hand.
Dad looked at Kerr with a smile and said; Be careful of scalding, and also give your mother a taste, Dad's technique, Ke'er ran to let her mother take a bite, and her mother said: Well, it's delicious!
The Spring Festival is unconsciously coming in the hustle and bustle, before the Spring Festival, people are all jubilant, all full of energy, there are a lot of people shopping, some are buying New Year's paintings, some are buying New Year's goods, some are sitting on the bench around the stove to turn on the TV, some people are playing poker, very lively, Xiaozhou and Dad are also shopping, Xiaozhou saw Kerr standing at the stall looking at the hairpin in a daze, and asked Dad for two yuan of pocket money, Lao Yin smiled and said; Go ahead!
Don't play too late, go back early; The small state said it got it! walked to Ke'er, patted Ke'er on the shoulder and said, hey, Ke'er hasn't seen you for a long time, do you want to buy something?
Ke'er, startled, said; Xiaozhou you scared me, I just look at it and don't buy it, Xiaozhou said; In this way, let's go shopping and see if there is a villain book, Ke'er, you go over and read it first, I'll go to the toilet and talk before leaving, Ke'er said; All right!
I haven't been to see it for a long time, and when Ke'er went far away, Xiaozhou returned to the stall, bought a wrapped purple hairpin for a dollar, and put it in the bag to chase Ke'er.
Xiaozhou looked at Ke'er, listlessly flipping through the villain's book, thinking that Ke'er had something on his mind, Xiaozhou asked Ke'er, how did she spend the Spring Festival this year, Ke'er said; I think that this Spring Festival, I will still put on new clothes and wait in front of the door, will put a large string of firecrackers on Chinese New Year's Eve, will deliberately put some sugar in my pocket, and will also see the familiar willow trees and small river ditches that will never change.
However, some grandmothers told me to eat oranges, and some grandmothers gave me New Year's money......
