224 Winter in Xujiazhuang

The three brothers Zhao Bei watched the female worker with the cloth towel walking steadily, walking away with her chest straight and her back straight, stunned in the cold wind for a long time and never came back to her senses.

In the middle of the night, the three brothers recovered from their shock when they heard the clerk in the restaurant beside him ask loudly about the workers who had come out of the factory to forage for food in the afternoon.

"Where is this?" Zhao Bei asked the two brothers beside him.

Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei replied: "This is Xujiazhuang." ”

Zhao Bei woke up from a dream and looked at the workers and shops around him as he walked forward.

The men and women were each dressed in thick coats and hats, and wore thick-soled linen shoes on their feet, and their faces were full of smiles and ruddy.

It is very different from the appearance of the crested backs of the people outside.

At first glance, they can eat well, and they don't even look like they have been abused harshly, and there is a vigorous air in their expressions, as if the future is bright.

Not to mention the women, the female workers in the button factory had already left a deep impression on Zhao Bei.

But now that I look at it, the women are the same as the female workers in the button factory, walking with straight shoulders and backs, their hair is long or short, tied behind their heads, and they are wearing long pants and bast shoes, which at first glance look like men.

To be honest, Zhao Bei felt that none of these could be regarded as women, but could only be said to be rural village women.

No, there are no women in the countryside like this, and there is no women's slender waist and small steps, and there is no delicate and delicate Tingting.

But aren't they good-looking?

In terms of appearance, there are indeed few delicate things to see, and each of them is plain-faced, and the complexion is not fair.

But they are neatly dressed, their hands and feet are clean, and there is not much smell on their bodies - the people in Xujiazhuang seem to be more particular than people in other places, especially in terms of personal cleanliness, such a big bathhouse, there are still so many people coming in and out in winter.

The hotel they have been staying in for the past few days is also clean and warm, and even the toilet place, the small wooden house called the "public toilet", is also made like a hall, not only incense, but also a flush and leave organ to drain sewage.

When he went to the thatched house for the first time, Zhao Beisheng was surprised, and hurriedly pulled Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei in to see the pumping mechanism.

In front of the simple flush toilet, the three brothers exposed their most unseen side.

It wasn't until the housekeeper found that the toilet door had been closed and knocked on the door to test that the three brothers came out in embarrassment.

Therefore, looking at these women again, there is a strange feeling of health, good birth, and strength.

It's not good-looking, but it's definitely not ugly, and it's not resistant.

But if you think about it, my wife took off her skirt, really wore the pants sent by the front desk, cut off her hair and tied it into this burr and walked down the street...... Zhao Bei suddenly snorted, and his hair stood on end!

With this kind of entanglement of resisting and not being able to help but explore, Zhao Bei led the two brothers to finally leave the market, walked across the road that was cleaned by the villagers, and came to the core of Xujiazhuang.

This is where the Xu family's mansion is located, and next to the mansion is a row of colleges, dormitories, and canteens.

The sound of reading that had tickled Zhao Bei's heart for several days came from the school here.

At this time, it seems that it is the lunch break, and all the people who are doing work in the whole village have stopped, and the cooking at home and the cooking at the canteen are much more lively than in the morning.

Looking at the curling smoke rising from the residential area, the three brothers of Zhao Bei glanced at each other, and they felt a sense of unreality.

The winter in Xujiazhuang is too different from the winter elsewhere.

Even in the most prosperous state administration, everyone huddles at home in winter to keep out the cold, and if there is nothing important, they don't go out if they can.

The cooking smoke in the city is also rare, because the firewood is expensive in winter, in order to save firewood, only make one hot food a day, make a meal in the morning, and put the evening evening food on the stove to warm it is excellent.

As for lunch, what's that?

It doesn't exist at all!

The nobles of the family may also have a hot snack, not afraid of the long dark nights and bitter cold of winter.

But in the homes of ordinary people, I am afraid that they only eat one meal a day, and they are reluctant to burn the charcoal fire, so they huddle in the bed all day long, and survive this cold winter.

But when you look at Xujiazhuang, as soon as noon arrives, everyone is like a tide, pouring out from behind the high wall in the most mysterious southeast corner of Xujiazhuang, and instantly spreading to all parts of the village.

Immediately after that, the smoke rose, the aroma of corn wafted out, and the snow seemed to become an embellishment, making the place more like the fairy dojo described in the book.

For a moment, the three brothers could see God.

"Uncle Zhao?" Xu Yue, who walked out of the classroom, called out in surprise to the three people who were standing in the open space in a daze.

As he walked towards the three of them, he wondered what they were doing here.

It seems that Zhao Bei's illness has been completely cured.

The three brothers turned around and saw Xu Yue walking over with a book in her arms, wearing an ankle-length red curly coat, and her long hair was gently tied behind her head with a ribbon, which was completely different from the little boy they met on the road that day.

Along the way, the three brothers have already acquiesced to the setting that the women of Xujiazhuang are not like women, and when they saw Xu Yue's traditional women's outfit appear in front of them, somehow, they suddenly felt inexplicably moved.

It turns out that the world is still normal.

The owners of Xujiazhuang are still different from those tenants!

However, before the three of them were moved by this song, they saw Xu Yue jumping down from a small hill, and the spring light under the song...... A pair of thick autumn pants were revealed, and the three of them looked stiff in unison.

Zhao Bei thought to himself, maybe, maybe, it was only because the curl was long enough and wrapped tightly enough that it would be worn by the owner's family who didn't have to work in the field.

Of course, it is not ruled out that last year's clothes can still be worn, so I will continue to take them out and wear them now.

However, no matter how much he fluctuated in his heart, when he saw the actual life-saving benefactor, Zhao Bei quickly pulled away from the three views that gradually collapsed into ruins and bowed his hand.

"Miss Xu San!" Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei also hugged their fists.

Xu Yue bowed slightly and replied, "Did you eat well in the hotel?" How are you staying? ”

Zhao Bei said that everything was fine, raised his eyes and looked at the school behind Xu Yue, and did not hide his curiosity.

"Miss Three, what are you?" His gaze fell on the book in Xu Yue's hand, and he whispered tentatively.

Xu Yue laughed, "The academy is on vacation, and when I go home and have nothing to do, I will go to the school to teach and earn some pocket money." ”

"Have the three uncles eaten?" Xu Yue asked with concern.

Zhao Bei was about to wave his hand politely and say that he hadn't eaten, but Zhang Fei, who was quick to speak, replied happily first:

"Not yet, but I've had breakfast!"

As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but look at the student cafeteria where the fragrance wafted over, "The students haven't eaten breakfast before, so they changed to noon?" ”
