The new year came, and the first snow also fell on the night of the 30th.

A mist rose from the stove, and the marinated pig's head gave off an enticing fragrance.

This is for the Lu family to worship their ancestors.

The newly painted doors and windows have been replaced with new charms, and two red lanterns are carried under the eaves, looking up at the sky, the goose-feather snow is falling from the sky, and the ground has a shallow layer.

"Oh, it's snowing."

Lu Xiaoyu, who came out with Lu Yangge, shouted happily, and turned his head to shout at the people in the stove room. "Eldest sister, second sister, it's snowing, come and see, it's snowing."

The Lu family has changed into new clothes today, Lu Xiaoqing, Lu Xiaoli, Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Qingluan (Song Sanya), who has just joined the Lu family, the four of them wore peach pink cotton jackets of the same color, standing side by side, like four plum blossoms blooming in the snow, delicate.

The snow was falling heavier and heavier, and in an instant the rooftop trees were covered with a blanket.

Lu Yangge wore a cyan cotton robe, standing in a daze in the heavy snow, like a bud in the snowstorm, as if the wind was stronger, it would be able to fold her.

Lu Quan happened to come in from outside, and hurriedly propped up the oil-paper umbrella in his hand on Lu Yangge's head: "You kid, why don't you hold an umbrella, you have to be seen by your mother, and you have to nag again." ”

The oil-paper umbrella made by Chen Ping'an is large and firm, and the head of the hood covers all the wind and snow.

"Stop playing."

Lu Quan handed the umbrella to Lu Yangge, and drove a few children in the yard into the house, "It's so cold outside, be careful of freezing sores, go into the house quickly." ”

But as soon as the snow fell, everyone was playing, and no one wanted to go into the house.

Including Lu Xiaowu, dressed like a ball, he struggled to step on a string of crooked little footprints in the yard.

Xu is Lu Quan's voice alarmed the busy Qiu family in the stove room, and Qiu grabbed the spatula and walked out, shouting at the top of his voice.

"Little carp, quickly take Xiao Wu into the house."

"Xiaoyu, don't stand by the well, it's slippery over there, be careful if you fall."

"Xiaoqing, Xiaosi, your father didn't hear you when you entered the house, and you were still standing in the yard."

Qiu's voice was loud, and his posture with a spatula was also a little scary.

Lu Xiaoli helplessly pulled Xiao Wu and walked back: "I know." ”

Lu Xiaoyu went to push Lu Yangge, who was standing in the courtyard: "Little four, go quickly, my mother is going to be angry." ”

When a group of children entered the house, Qiu turned his head and entered the stove room again.

It snowed heavily overnight, and a thick layer of snow accumulated on the roof.

Early in the morning, Lu Quan moved the ladder and climbed to the roof with Chen Ping'an to clear the snow. Snow fell from the roof, piling up into the corners along with the snow in the yard.

Lu Xiaosi also wanted to go up to have a look, but was coaxed back to the house by Qiu, who was holding on to the ladder.

The swept road was paved with black bricks, and on the west side was a new flowerbed with broken bricks, and the branches in it had withered, except for a few trees near the edge of the flowerbed.

After clearing the snow and having breakfast, several other families in the Zhuangzi brought candy melon seeds or dried fruits to Lu's house to pay New Year's greetings.

This is what was said last winter, and this year's first New Year's together.

The food was prepared by the big guys last year to raise money together, just waiting for the New Year to enjoy together.

At this time, Aunt Ma didn't say that her family had a large population, so she was happy to take advantage, hugged her son, and stuffed the two pockets on his body with peanuts and melon seeds and candy, for fear that she would suffer a loss if she caught less.

Aunt Li couldn't get used to her like this, so she moved the plate containing melon seeds and candy to the other side angrily, and said with a long face: "Catch less, what do you eat after you catch the big guy." ”

"Isn't there a lot of that?"

Aunt Ma was not angry, pouted her buttocks, stretched out her arms and grabbed a handful of melon seeds before sitting down with a smile.

New Year's Day, not to mention eating some melon seeds and peanuts, even if she took all the melon seeds and peanuts here, who can quarrel with her for this?

Seeing her faceless appearance, Aunt Li rolled her eyes impatiently, and simply picked up the plate and divided it one by one for the women who were talking in the room.

"Everyone divides the shares, don't be eaten, some people can't take their turn."

The women who had divided the melon seeds and peanuts did not sit in the house for a long time, but happily ate a few fragrant mouths, and rushed into the stove room to roll up their sleeves to help.

When the women were gone, the men who had gone around the field came back, and the hot tea reflected the smiling faces of the big guys.

The snow is good, thick, and next year will be another good harvest year.

Outside, children are busy in the snow.

"Little four, do you eat melon seeds?"

"Little four, do you want to eat peanuts if I have them?"

"Little four, this is the candy my mother bought for me, share one with you."

"Little four, look at the fireworks that my father bought for me, let's play together"

This Spring Festival, Lu Xiaosi lived happily and happily, as if everyone liked him very much, and he always wanted to give some to Lu Xiaosi if there was anything delicious and fun.

Even the big snowman built by the big guys, the plum cans have to give it the name of Xiaosi.

In the end, under the attack of Lu Xiaoyu's twisted ears, he finally changed his words and said that he named the snowman Panpan.

also said eloquently, my mother said, if you give birth to a sister for me, it will be called Panpan.

was disgusted by a few friends for a while, and in the end, it was Lu Xiaoyu's name that satisfied most people and settled down.

Called Tuan Tuan,

When the big guys had had enough, they rushed into the house to eat, leaving Tuan Tuan alone in the yard.

Song Sanya, who is now named Lu Qingluan, carefully moved over, deducted the dirty place with her small hands, and mended it with clean snow.

Little by little, carefully smooth out the places that have not been smoothed, so that Tuan Tuan becomes more beautiful.

"Do you like it?" Lu Yangge came over and squatted beside the snowman.

Lu Qingluan looked at his brother in front of him and said softly, "I like it." ”

Lu Yang Getuan had a ball of snow in his hands: "I like us to pile another one together, and a smaller one, it's called Yuanyuan, Tuan Tuan Reunion." ”

Lu Qingluan's eyes immediately burst into joy, and he asked timidly, "Shall we pile another one?" ”

"Hmm." Lu Yangge lowered his head, put down the snow ball in his hand, and pushed it to roll, "Look, this way it will get bigger, as long as you roll two snowballs, you can build a snowman." ”

As she spoke, she made another snowball and handed it to Sanya: "You roll a small one, and I'll roll a big one." ”

"Okay."

The little girl took the snowball and rolled it on the ground outside the yard.

It doesn't matter if it's not round, the fourth brother said that it can be repaired.

It doesn't matter if it's dirty, the fourth brother said that it would be good to peel it off and roll it around again.

Roll, roll, the snowball rolled round, Lu Qingluan tilted her head to watch the fourth brother stand up a thick snowball, and put her round head on it.

The arms are made of branches, the nose is made of carrots, and two blackened shells are inlaid into a pair of large eyes.

The fourth brother also ingeniously made a hat for Yuanyuan with a tree branch, and from a distance, it really looked like a white fat man who was full of food and couldn't walk, squatting at the gate of the courtyard.

Later, many years passed, and Lu Qingluan remembered that snowy New Year, her fourth brother accompanied her to build the most beautiful snowman.
