Wang Yuan, when the mother and the little girl came to grandma's house, grandma was cooking lunch, wearing a headscarf, wearing a gray cotton jacket of labor cloth, and a thin little sitting next to the stove to pull the bellows.

"Grandma!"

The little girl was gently pushed by her mother, and immediately shouted in understanding.

"Are you a family? Come in, come in, it's cold outside, isn't it? Seeing Wang Yuan and a few people, grandma was very happy and hurriedly greeted her.

"It's cold, it's cold, it's still warm in the house."

"Why didn't your dad come?"

"He went drinking."

……

Grandma's house is more broken than Wang Yuan's house, and the east wall mountain is supported by wooden sticks, but fortunately, the east house is used to pile up sundries.

Cooking all year round, the walls of the hall are blackened, and there is no ceiling purlins clearly visible.

"Baa~~"

The big ewe was ruminating on the side away from the stove, with some hay on the ground, and some sticks and straws thrown sideways, and the dried leaves of the sticks were gnawed away.

A few milky lambs lay around, and one lay in a basket with some dried leaves.

The old mother said, "The sheep...... How many will there be? ”

Grandma went to the back room to bring pears, ripe peanuts, pine nuts, dried sweet potatoes, cakes, etc. to Wang Yuan and the little girl, and she couldn't wait to take out all the good things for them to eat.

"I took 5 of them, and they would freeze outside, so I brought them into the house."

It's cold, and the outside is a natural freezer, and grandma's house also has some frozen dumplings wrapped in advance, so eat the dumplings cooked directly at noon.

Grandpa and a few old fellows went up the mountain to pull the branches, and when they came back near noon, Wang Yuan helped unload the branches from the climbing plow.

"Xiaoyuan, have you sold the pine nuts you collected?" Grandpa smiled curiously, his each of them is very tall, but when he is older, there are not a few teeth left in his mouth.

"I haven't sold it yet, I found a buyer in the city, and the other party wants to explore the market first."

"That's fine, just sell what you can sell."

Rushing~

The hot soup in the pot is tumbling, one by one cooked dumplings floated up, it looks like a small boat, my mother pushed the hot soup in the pot twice with a spoon, and then scooped out a dumpling bubble cold water, tasted it:

"It's cooked, it's ready to come out of the pot."

This year, the meat with meat is very delicious, and the meat dumplings are no exception, the whole small nou, put some vinegar in it, add some garlic or minced ginger, put the meat dumplings in it and dip them in and then put them in the mouth to chew, it's really fragrant!

Wang Yuan was really hungry, one dumpling at a time, and quickly killed a large bowl of meat dumplings, and then ate the meat dumplings on the grate.

There is no rule of "eating without speaking", they are all chatting while eating.

It's all about the short and interesting stories of the parents, although the things are small but very down-to-earth, such as whose girl got married, whose family hit a bear in the mountain, whose family dug up ginseng, whose child hit someone with a gun and so on.

In the end, the topic shifted to Wang Yuan's marriage, and grandma asked the matter in detail before doing it.

After eating.

Wang Yuan led the little girl to go to the houses of several uncles, and when he came back, he saw an old man squatting at the base of the wall, raising his face to bask in the sun while chatting, discussing national affairs, and he was very relaxed.

"Grandpa is basking in the sun here?"

Wang Yuan said hello to everyone with a smile, and then took the little girl home.

Back at my grandmother's house, my grandfather took out a few antique vases, and was talking to my mother about a few antique vases, the vases have a bottom paragraph, written "Kangxi Year System of the Qing Dynasty", "Yongzheng Year System" and so on, 2 of which have gaps.

Wipe the porcelain vase with a damp rag, and the peony pattern on it is vivid.

Grandpa smiled: "Last time I came to collect antiques, these bottles were given 6 yuan, but they were not sold, if they were given 8 yuan, they would be sold."

Grandma was sitting on the kang and was mending her clothes: "People don't give 8 yuan for life or death, saying that they can't make money."

"Don't sell it!"

Wang Yuan hurriedly said loudly, several well-preserved antique vases, in the future generations, conservatively estimated to be worth tens of thousands of yuan, and even one of them can be worth hundreds of thousands or even more!

"Why? It's useless to keep it. ”

"The price will definitely be higher in the future! Even a vase can be worth a month or two of wages! ”

Wang Yuan can't say that a vase is worth thousands or even tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, otherwise his grandfather will probably think he is crazy.

Seeing Wang Yuan's efforts to dissuade him, his grandfather agreed with a smile: "Then keep it and don't sell it, you won't be rich with a few more yuan anyway."

Grandma said that there were more vases at home before, but they were broken by her uncle and aunt when she was a child, and Wang Yuan was secretly distressed when she heard it.

The little girl was very interested in the little lamb, squatting next to the little lamb and touching the latter, the little girl made a gesture to bow her head to her, and the little girl giggled happily.

Chatted for a while.

Grandpa suddenly said that the big wolf dog of the second grandfather's family had a litter of puppies, and they would be able to eat.

If you can't afford it, you want to give it away, but many people don't want it, so anxious that the uncle of the second grandfather's family wants to throw the puppy away.

Because every family is very poor, raising a dog is a waste of food.

The puppies were thrown in the wild on a dead cold day, and there was a high probability that they would not survive.

"It just so happens that I want a dog, go grandpa, let's go to the second grandpa's house."

"Okay, do you want a dog?"

"Training can help catch rabbits and wild boars."

It was too cold outside, so the two put on cotton coats and dogskin hats, and then left the house together.

The little girl walked on her short legs and wanted to follow Wang Yuan together, but her mother stretched out her arm and pulled her back: "You can freeze someone to death outside, what are you running around with a little girl."

"Second brother and second brother, save me~"

Two slaps didn't work, the little girl cried vigorously, and grandma counted down her mother: "You beat her gaha...... Come, let grandma hug, look, peach crisp, eat peach crisp. ”

gave the little girl half a piece of peach cake, the little girl stopped crying for a moment, her attention shifted to the peach cake, and she ate happily.

……

The temperature is a little warmer at noon.

The snow on the roof melted partially, and the water dripped down the eaves, and finally froze into ice skates.

The arm-long ice skates reflect the bright light, neatly, and it looks good at a glance from a distance.

"Second grandfather! Is the second grandfather at home? ”

When he came to the gate of the second grandfather's house, Wang Yuan shouted through the cane, and instantly there was a dog barking sound in the courtyard.

"Wangwang~"

The second grandfather's family also has "And", it is the uncle's brother who has come over, and several people are sitting cross-legged on the kang and drinking.

After entering the house, he chatted for a while, Wang Yuan explained his intention, and the second grandfather was very happy, and took him directly to pick up the dog:

"There are still 3 puppies left, if you can do it, you can take them all, but you can grab the food to feed."
