In the cold winter, the villagers do not have to do farm work, but they have to go up the mountain to cut firewood, or go up the mountain to cut a kind of Lu grass that can be burned, dry it and store it for later use.

There is a lot of rain in the south, especially in the coming spring, when it will be even more rainy.

The villagers have to take advantage of the dry winter to store enough firewood and grass for the New Year and the next spring, the more the better.

Firewood is very useful, not only for cooking rice and cooking for bathing, but also for baking fire for heating in cold weather, and for luxury can also be used to boil water and wash clothes.

After breakfast, Qiuqiu went to the old house to see her grandmother and uncle, Xiao Meilan became her little follower, and she was competing with Spotted.

Last night was very cold, as long as the water is shallow, there is thick ice, and even the shallow water on the edge of the fish pond, the ice is more than an inch thick, and the little boy who weighs dozens of pounds stands on the ice, and it will not crack, and he can jump around to play exciting.

The sun broke through the clouds and shone on the earth, and people felt even colder, and everyone's hands and faces were frozen red, and white mist was exhaled from their mouths.

As soon as the sun comes out, all the ice begins to melt, and the cold air emitted by the melting ice far overshadows the warmth of the sun.

Qiuqiu and Xiaomei arrived at the door of the old house, and the two cousins were sharp-eyed, and immediately ran into the house to report: "Uncle, second uncle, second aunt, Princess Yi is here!" ”

Mrs. Chen and Liu Chunhua hurriedly went out of the house to greet each other.

Mrs. Chen is an old lady with eyes, she has received too many benefits from this granddaughter of Princess Yi, and her son Erbao was saved because of her, and she came to greet her sincerely.

Liu Chunhua is the most unexpected, such a spicy and unreasonable evil woman, after her husband lost a leg, she restrained her bad habits everywhere and slowly changed to a good side.

She also welcomed her sincerely, this princess niece, saved her husband's life, taught her to be a man, and let her know how to live in harmony with her family.

"Grandma, second uncle, aunt, uncle, Uncle Tianbao......" Qiuqiu and Xiaomei greeted one by one.

"Good, my mouth is so sweet, I am so filial, I know that I came to see my grandmother with my fourth sister." Mrs. Chen took Xiao Meilan's hand, so she couldn't talk to Qiuqiu, and she didn't know what to say, so she had to say something casually.

After Mrs. Chen, who used to only know scolding and was not used to saying these hurtful words, she felt a little numb, and her face was embarrassed and she no longer spoke.

Xiao Meilan obediently next to Mrs. Chen.

"Sit, when did Qiuqiu come back? Come back or stay at home for the New Year? Liu Chunhua hurriedly wiped the dust off the stool.

"I came back last night, and I'm going to spend the New Year at home, second uncle, you can sit down first." Qiuqiu hurriedly pressed the second uncle on crutches on the stool.

"Qiuqiu, you haven't been at home for the New Year in years, right?" Uncle Yu and the second sister also came to talk.

"It's been three years." Qiuqiu reminded her.

There is a strong aroma of glutinous rice wine in the house, which is a steamed glutinous rice wine prepared for the New Year, which is called "rice wine" in the local dialect, and is named after the golden color of the wine, and every household will make this wine.

This wine can relax the muscles and invigorate the blood, promote appetite, nourish the blood and nourish the skin, anti-aging and so on.

Qiuqiu's original grandmother's house had this kind of wine, and the effect of this wine was learned by Qiuqiu Baidu Cha.

There is a large wine jar on the side of the patio, as well as two large wine urns and a small wine urn, and the lees and sake in the vat have not yet been separated.

When Qiuqiu and Xiaomei didn't come over, grandma and aunt were thinking about the drinks.

"Grandma, auntie, you go and get busy, don't delay the time, my little sister and I will take a look on the side." Qiuqiu stood up.
