Chapter 133: Open face
Li Niang has the consciousness of the current people, and never says much what she shouldn't say, but when she becomes a teacher, she is not strict and serious.
At the moment, in addition to Su Xiang's pregnancy, it is not advisable to be too tired, and Liu and Su Qingyan were also punished for laughing at Su Wan.
followed Su Wan and Li Niang to learn etiquette and learned all afternoon.
Only then did Su Qingyan know that the Wanfuli that seemed to be a tube list was not just a tube list, which foot was in front, which foot was behind, and how far apart the two feet were.
How to put the two hands, where to put them, and how many degrees to bend over and bend the knees, that is all particular.
glanced at Su Wan sympathetically, Su Qingyan was no longer envious, jealous and hateful.
In winter, the snow was falling, and the whole village was covered in snow, and the villagers suddenly quieted down as if they had entered hibernation, and even Mrs. Suasi and Tian stopped coming to the door.
Su Qingyan was puzzled.
Liu said: "What's so strange about this, there is no work in winter, and not every household can afford cotton clothes.
By this time, there is often little food left.
In order not to be starved to death and frozen to death, most of the people in the village eat a few bites of hot rice and soup, and lie down in the bed while it is hot, huddling together to keep warm. When you are hungry and cold, you can get up and light a fire and eat a few bites. ”
"I still remember that last year when it was so cold that I couldn't sleep, my mother took my feet in her arms and warmed my feet."
Su Wan was wearing a newly made cotton jacket, cotton pants, and cotton shoes, chubby, like a small businessman, not cold at all.
But when she talked about that winter, she couldn't help but shiver.
It was the cold carved into my bones.
Su Qingyan felt sour in her heart and vowed to give her family a better life in the future.
After thinking about it, she said:
"Mother, it's almost the New Year, why don't we find a sunny day to go to the market, buy more cloth and cotton, make new clothes for the whole family, and it's time to add a few new quilts."
"It's okay, when Liniang came to our house, she didn't have anything, and there were only a few sets of clothes, and her clothes were not thick, so I had to buy one for her first
Body. ”
"Buy it all!" Su Qingyan happily went to the machine to pull her private money, there were already ninety-six taels, and she was very satisfied.
It's just that I didn't expect the snow to stop falling, and it has not been broken from Laba to Xiao Nian.
Every day, except for Liu Yicai, who will set up an ox cart to deliver steamed buns, it is difficult to see a living creature on the way to the county seat.
And because of the heavy snowfall, there is no business in the county, and the shops on both sides of the road are not open.
After Hongyun Restaurant announced that it would suspend the consumption of steamed buns on the eighteenth day of the lunar month, Su Qingyan and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After being busy for several months, being able to take a break and take a breath is a good thing for both the Su family and the Lao Liu family.
But I don't know when the news of the disaster was going to be spread all over the sky.
Some people say that the price of food will rise.
Some people say that it is wisest to change money and flee for your life.
The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer, not only does Wangbei Village not have a festive atmosphere that it should have, but is shrouded in a shadow, and Su Qingyan is very anxious.
She didn't know if it was every year, or if this year was special.
However, in her spare time, she always listened to Liu's long sigh at the heavy snow outside the window, and she didn't bother to guess anything, just looking forward to the winter passing soon.
Watching Liniang teach Su Wan to write, paint, etiquette, female celebrity, dance, sing, recognize, and practice calligraphy has become Su Qingyan's only fun.
"Boom...... Click...... carry
There was a jumbled sound, accompanied by a violent tremor of the ground.
Su Qingyan thought there was an earthquake, and shouted: "Fast muscles!" ”
He first hugged his head and shrank in the corner.
But no one in the family reacted to what she was going to do, and looked at her with strange eyes, like looking at a fool.
Su Qingyan was embarrassed and put away the posture of a turtle with a shrunken head.
Bite the bullet and explain to yourself: "I thought there was an earthquake...... When the earthquake comes, you must protect yourself, just like I just ......"
"What is an earthquake?"
Su Wan looked at Su Qingyan, then at her mother, and then at Liniang.
Liu didn't know, Li Niang thought for a while and said: "Two hundred years ago in Beijing, ninety years ago in Henan, there was a miracle of the earth shaking violently, the road surface cracking and ditching, the houses collapsed, and the river poured back, so that many people died, and that kind of spectacle was called an earthquake. ”
"That's so serious, there's nowhere to hide! Second sister, does it work for you to hide in the corner? How do you know these things? ”
"Of course it's from reading books, your second sister and I study hard and hard, know a lot of words, and like to read, of course you know more things, if you want to be as knowledgeable as me, you have to study hard in the future."
Su Qingyan made up a lie, she listened to it herself, so she could only deceive the six-year-old child.
The more she talked, the more she lacked confidence, and she didn't dare to look at Liniang, she pushed open the door and looked out as if she was running away:
"That's not an earthquake, what's wrong? How could there be such a big movement? ”
As soon as she pushed the door open, snowflakes mixed with the howling north wind blew in, and at the same time brought distant sounds:
"Help, save my mother, my mother is still inside, please save my mother!"
"Whose mother!" Su Qingyan listened to this cry and felt very familiar, the girl should be about the same age as herself, and hurriedly pushed open the door and walked out.
Looking north on the main road, I saw several people running to the northwest, and several people running back from the northwest.
Su Qingyan casually caught an aunt, and just as she was about to ask, she heard the aunt tell her in a hurry:
"Widow Li's house has collapsed under heavy snow, and people are buried inside, I have to go back to see how my house is doing, you get out of the way of me!"
As he spoke, he pulled Su Qingyan aside and ran away.
Liu Shi and Li Niang also followed, and when they heard the latter sentence, they couldn't bear it, and they raised their feet and walked to the northwest:
"The house has smashed people down, can people still live? Let's see if we can help! ”
"Mother, don't worry about other people's houses first, you let your father sweep the snow on our roof, you go to my grandma's house and say it, let my grandpa pay attention to their house."
Roof.
I asked my uncle and cousin to clean the roof of the steamed bun room and the winery.
If it all collapses, it's over. ”
"Alas!"
Liu should hurry away.
Li Niang said to Su Qingyan: "Girl, it's snowing outside, your body can't stand the cold, let's go home!" ”
"No, I'm fine, our family has some savings, and we have made new cotton clothes, I'm not cold.
It's just that I wronged you, and I'm still wearing a thin padded jacket in the early winter.
I wanted to make you thick, but I didn't have time to buy cotton.
Aunt Li, go back! You're wearing too thin. ”
Li Niang was very moved when she heard this, but she still shook her head, saying that those who practice martial arts can keep out the cold by relying on internal strength alone, and it is inconvenient to move if they wear thick clothes.
The two persuaded each other to no avail, so they simply went to Widow Li's house together.
Li Honghua is an empathetic girl, and she is friends with Su Qingyan, and she is kneeling there in thin clothes at this time, crying and pulling clods.
The exposed wrists, ankles, neck, and cheeks were all frozen into blue and purple, but Li Honghua still shouted hard: "Mother! Mother! Where are you? You should say! ”
Su Qingyan couldn't bear it, so she ran over and hugged her from behind to keep her warm.
There were also people who helped her find someone, but they were all rummaging back and forth, and they didn't make much effort.
Everywhere you look, there are snowstorms and adobe bricks, and it's not easy to find someone.
Li Honghua was held in Su Qingyan's arms, and her eyelashes were a little warm, but they were soaked with tears, and soon they became icy again:
