Chapter 35: Here comes a blonde old man
"In the morning, when Frog woke up, he immediately sensed that something was wrong with the world, that something had changed."
This is how "Frog in Winter" begins.
Just as when the little brother and sister are about to get up in the morning, even if they don't see anything through the thin curtains, they realize that something is wrong, something has changed.
Archie put on a cotton shirt and cotton pants. He jumped out of bed, walked to the window, and eagerly opened the curtains. Ah, the white expanse outside the window, everything turned white.
Ah Qiao shrank deeper into the bed.
Unlike her hot brother, she is slender and thin, and she is afraid of the cold.
"Hurry up, little lazy cat!" The elder brother turned around and smiled brightly.
"Go out, watch the snow, have a snowball fight, build a snowman!"
Half of Ah Qiao's shrunken face was not in the bed, only a pair of beautiful eyes were exposed.
"You go, you go." She grinned.
She laughed not because her brother was reluctant to lift her quilt, so he couldn't do anything about her lazy bed. She laughed because she remembered Frog in the story.
Frog noticed the snow falling outside the window and excitedly went out. As a result, as soon as the door opened, it slipped out, slid all the way to the river, and then slid into the river. The river froze, and Frog lay on the cold, hard ice, terrified.
Think of a frog that needs water, but is sequestered above it by ice!
The duckling stepped on his skates and invited Flogg, who was stunned by the river, to skate; The little pig carried a basket of firewood on his back and marveled at the shivering Frog in the fresh, healthy and empty winter of how charming it was; The hare strode past a frustrated Frog, shouting "one-two, one-two" to the rhythm of "one-two, one-two" for Frog to run with him......
Think about how frightened Frog must have been. His friends all have a side he doesn't know!
From Flogg's tragic experience, Ah Qiao saw the laughter unkindly.
Don't blame Ah Qiao for being too cold, really, the result of this little story is too warm.
Frog muttered down all his friends' invitations: "I'm frozen...... I'm just a little frog that has been bare......"
The bare little frog dragged his heavy legs back home alone. He sat by the fireplace all the time, fantasizing about spring and summer. He burned all the firewood.
He went outside to look for firewood and froze in the snow and ice.
Luck came quickly.
His friends spotted him, and they carefully carried him home and put him on the bed.
The author writes: "The hare brought some firewood to make a fire, the piglet boiled a bowl of nutritious soup, and the duckling cheered up Frog.
In the evening, the hare reads some great stories about spring and summer; Piggy listens to the story while knitting a two-tone sweater for the frog. ”
In the care of his friends, Frog felt the beauty of winter.
Soon, winter turned to spring, the ice and snow melted, and the grass broke through the soil. The sun is high in the sky, and the whole world is green. The sun shone on the frog's slick back, and Frog regained his vitality and began his happy days of bouncing again.
Ah Qiaowei closed his eyes, fantasizing about Frog and his companions jumping in the beautiful hills. It's so bright and happy.
"Get up. Grandma made your favorite vegetable box! ”
"Hurry up. Duoduo is coming to play with you! ”
"Hurry up. Your classmate Yaya has come to play with you! ”
The elder brother changed his tricks or coaxed or cheated, trying to get Ah Qiao up quickly.
Ah Qiao, an authentic lazy cat, just laughs, just don't be fooled. Before the final exam, the teacher took the children to do a big review, and it took a lot of effort to go to school.
Rao is a coincidence, and it took a lot of effort. Of course, this is mainly due to the difference in standards. Other children can memorize texts, and Ah Qiao asks himself to be silent. Other children learned dozens of new words in half a year, but Ah Qiao was silent about the entire language book.
Since the silent text is not the homework assigned by the teacher, Ah Qiao did not show the teacher her silent text notebook. No one knows how hard she worked, except for her brother and grandmother.
The elder brother kept shouting for Ah Qiao to get up, and the grandmother was smiling, neither stopping nor supporting. Grandma is tolerant of the two children who grew up beside her.
"Hurry up. A small car came from the village. This little car is not black, not white, not red, not silver-gray, but bright yellow! It's so yellow, it's so yellow. I've never seen such a bright yellow. Hurry up and see. A lot of children gathered around to see it. ”
Ah Qiao has indeed been lying down long enough, most of the morning has passed, and his back is sleepy.
She stretched a little, and finally showed her desire to get up.
Archie was overjoyed.
"Ah Qiao! Ah Qiao! ”
As soon as Ah Qiao got dressed with the assistance of his grandmother, the voice of the fanduo rushed in through the courtyard. There was a great surprise in Duoduo's voice, as if something terrible had happened.
She ran and jumped into the hall of Ah Qiao's house, her head shaking back and forth, and she wanted to find Grandma Archie and Ah Qiao. Fortunately, Grandma Archie is with Ah Qiao.
"Grandma Archie. There's a guy in the village, driving a beautiful yellow car, looking for someone to ask where your home is. ”
"Huh?"
The three people in the room said "ah" in unison. The meaning varies. Archie was unexpected, but he didn't expect that the little yellow car that the children and adults in the village were eyeing was actually coming to his own house. Grandma was surprised, she couldn't think of anyone so swaggering. Ah Qiao is displeased, she is fed up with attracting attention.
No matter what you think in your heart, it's a serious thing to hurry up and let the little lazy cat wash her face and comb her hair.
"Archie, take a look outside and ask who it is."
Grandma instructed while combing Ah Qiao's hair.
Archie obediently raised his head to go outside the door, and before he could get out of the hall, there was a commotion at the gate of the courtyard.
"Excuse me, is this Li Qiao's family?" The loud Mandarin rang in my ears.
Grandma gave up the idea of wearing pretty pigtails, patted the dust that might be on her body, and walked out with her head held high. Ah Qiao hurriedly and flexibly followed out. Behind the palace is the flowers.
Stepping out of the hall, there were already many people pouring into the courtyard. The vast majority are children watching the hilarity. There are three men who exist like stars and moons. In the center turned out to be a yellow-haired, green-eyed foreigner!
"Who are you?" Grandma was a little flustered. She didn't know any of them.
"Ah, we're here for you. He is an internationally renowned fashion designer, Jason Dodge. I'm his translator, old man, you can call me Xiao Wei. This is a friend in the middle, an illustrator with the surname Yang Mingshu. Who is Li Qiao? ”
At this time, Duoduo let out an abrupt "oh".
