Chapter 40: Snow
With the official start of the third year of high school, Zhao Chen's life has become more and more busy.
Every day, I run back and forth between home, school, and the trainer's association, but this kind of day is not difficult to endure in the company of naughty pandas and kettles.
And in this busy day, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and Jiangcheng High School has specially given a day off for this purpose, plus two days on the weekend, for a total of three days.
learned from Zhao Jin that this Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother were going to take the two back to their hometown.
Zhao Chen has no opinion on this, there is only his grandmother left in his hometown, and on a festival like the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is not appropriate to leave her an old man in the village.
So early in the morning, after Zhao's father bought moon cakes and a lot of vegetables and meat, he drove out of the city.
Grandma Zhao lives in the countryside near Jiangzhou City, and on weekdays, Zhao's father asked her to come to the city to live with him countless times, but Grandma Zhao refused for all kinds of strange reasons.
Say something like "the cat at home can't do without her", "the vegetable patch at the door needs to be taken care of" and so on.
But everyone knew in their hearts that Grandma just didn't want to leave the village where she had lived all her life.
Zhaojia Village is backed by the mountain, and the road into the mountain is winding and tortuous, and it took Zhao's father two and a half hours to come to the village.
"It's so cold......"
Zhao Jin pushed the car door and couldn't help but shudder.
Although the weather has been cool and swishing recently, the temperature in this mountain is obviously abnormal.
Zhao Chen got out of the car, and suddenly felt a chill on his face, he frowned, and looked at the surrounding plants and trees, all of which shrank due to the temperature.
"Come inside, it's been very cold in the mountains these days!" Grandma Zhao hurriedly came out of the house and beckoned everyone into the house.
As soon as I entered the house, a burst of warmth came to my face, and there was a stove in the house, and there was a roaring flame burning in the stove, which made the whole room very warm.
"On the kang, it's warm on the kang, Xiaochen, you're about to take the college entrance examination, right?" Grandma Zhao patted the kang on the side and showed a kind smile.
"Yes, Grandma, I'm a trainer now!" Zhao Chen nodded, took out the Poké Ball, and released the pot pot and the naughty panda.
As soon as Grandma Zhao saw these two little guys, she immediately liked it, rubbed the head of the naughty panda and muttered: "If the old man is still here, I guess I will be happy......"
"Mom, have you bought mooncakes at home?" Father Zhao rummaged through the cupboard and deliberately changed the topic.
"It's all ready!" Grandma Zhao got up from the kang, walked to a large box, and took out a few five-kernel mooncakes wrapped in oiled paper from it like a baby.
"Oh, Xiao Jin, Xiao Chen!" As she spoke, Grandma Zhao handed the mooncakes to the two of them.
Because it was their own grandmother, Zhao Chen and Zhao Jin were not polite, they obediently took the moon cakes and ate them.
It took a lot of time on the way here, and now it was noon, and Zhao's mother and Zhao's father accompanied their grandmother to the kitchen of the front room to arrange lunch.
Zhao Chen and Zhao Jin stayed in the house to roast the fire, and by the stove, the old cat raised by Grandma Zhao was lazily snoring.
"Brother, the temperature here is only ten degrees!" Zhao Jin looked at his phone and let out an exclamation.
"Impossible, right? It's only autumn now......" Zhao Chen was a little puzzled, he had seen that the temperature in the city had reached twenty-five degrees.
"Stubborn!"
The naughty panda on the side suddenly screamed, and he and the pot were by the window, looking out with wide eyes.
Zhao Chen turned his head and saw that the sky outside the window suddenly became gloomy, and white snowflakes fell from the sky.
It's snowing.
Zhao Chen was a little stunned, he took out a grandmother's flower cotton jacket from the big closet, put it on, and walked out of the room to the courtyard.
The naughty panda and the pot followed, but as soon as they came outside, they were shivering from the cold.
Zhao Chen looked at the two little guys helplessly, reached out to scoop them up, and put them in his arms.
"Stubborn!"
The naughty panda and the pot poked their heads out and looked curiously at the snowflakes in the sky.
Zhao Chen took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the class group:
"Is it snowing in the city?"
Soon, someone replied.
Bai Jie: No! It's a sunny day, and I'm lying in an air-conditioned room blowing the air conditioner!
Yan Lili: +1, I'm eating watermelon, it's only been a few months, it can't snow, right?
However, when Zhao Chen took a video and posted it to the group, they were silent for a while, and then Qi Qi was shocked:
it! Impossible, right? You recorded this video last year, right?
In desperation, Zhao Chen slapped himself into it expressionlessly, and they believed it.
Bai Jie: It's possible that the snow is caused by floating bubbles!
The elves that can change the weather are most likely floating bubbles.
These elves are usually kept in captivity at meteorological institutes and used as tools for artificial rain and snowfall.
However, with such a large scale of snow, it is impossible to float bubbles.
Zhao Chen didn't think much about it, just think that the weather in the mountains was abnormal!
After watching the snow outside for a while, he went back to the house and climbed on the kang, out of boredom, he took Zhao Jin to play the king pesticide, although Zhao Jin is a girl, but his strength is much stronger than Deng Jian.
Because he didn't bring a tablet this time, the naughty panda couldn't visit station B, so he could only watch Zhao Chen play king pesticide pitifully.
After a few handfuls, lunch was ready.
At this time, the snow did not stop, but became heavier and heavier, which made Zhao Chen a little worried that the heavy snow would close the mountain, and he would not be able to go back to class on time.
Because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, today's lunch is extraordinarily rich, braised elbow, sweet and sour fish, winter melon pork rib soup, chicken stewed mushrooms, etc., Zhao Chen and Zhao Jin eat a mouthful of oil.
After eating, Zhao's mother and Zhao's father and Zhao's mother sat in the hall to talk about family life, Zhao Chen felt that the house was a little stuffy, so he came out for a walk.
Snowflakes fell from the sky, dyeing the entire village in a blanket of silver, and the mountains and forests in the distance were covered in a snow-white coat.
The snow is very heavy, and there is a rustling sound when you walk on it.
Zhao Chen looked at the quiet village with emotion, the once prosperous village is now only a few scattered families, and it looks full of loneliness.
"Stubborn~" Because he had never seen snow, the naughty panda stretched out his little paws, grabbed a falling snowflake, and looked at it curiously in the palm of his hand.
"That's sweet, you can lick it." Zhao Chen said to it seriously.
The naughty panda tried to lick it, but found that there was no taste at all, and instantly realized that he had been deceived.
At this moment, several figures hurriedly ran through the snow in the distance.
Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes and turned his head to that side, he saw a few snow boys and little mountain pigs running out of the mountain without looking back.
Subconsciously, he raised his head and saw several helicopters flying by, landing in the mountains in the distance.
