Zhou Tong carried the desk board home and carried it upstairs while his parents were away. He moved the bamboo bed and used the table board to buckle into the hole under the bed, which was so wide and long that it could not be closed at all. This is not difficult for Bao Zhoutong, I saw him find chalk, ruler, draw in the hole, use chalk to draw the length and width of the distance, and then walk downstairs with the desk board. He borrowed a *** saw from a neighbor and asked his younger brother Zhou He to help, and the two were busy for a while before sawing this table board short. Zhou Tong took the sawn table upstairs and buckled it to the missing place of the floor, although the gap was a bit big, but after all, it was his own creative achievement, and Zhou Tong was satisfied.

The table board is improvised, but it is not firm, he went to look for some iron nails, there is no such long iron nails for a while, and the nails do not have a fixed effect, fortunately, the younger brother found a few long coffin nails elsewhere, Zhou Tong can ignore these, he took a hammer, crackled and smashed down, some were smashed to the end, some were smashed and bent up, and they were exposed on the beams of the floor, fortunately, as long as there were one or two iron nails fixed on the beams, the wooden boards were firm.

Snow begins to fall when it is unreachable. Bao Minggang hurriedly called his four sons to him and said: "None of you are allowed to run outside to go crazy today, the snow has begun to accumulate, just see how thick it will accumulate, you don't go upstairs, just stay in the downstairs room, we are ready to go to the room to remove the snow at any time." Bao Minggang used a rope to connect the two ladders, and asked Zhang Yueping to go to the neighbor's house to borrow two bamboo ladders. You'll need them on the roof. A ladder cannot be hooked up to the edge of the house, and only by folding and tying two long ladders together can the eaves of the house be hooked up to the roof. When a timid person climbs halfway, his legs tremble with fright, and he does not dare to climb up easily. Some men are not as bold as women, and women are lightweight, and they are still very steady when they get up.

The snow on the roof slowly covered the house with black corrugated. The black, ugly corrugated corrugated suddenly turned white and bright. The children didn't care about the snow on the roof, they welcomed the snow in their hearts, but they couldn't show surprise in front of the adults. Otherwise, they will be scolded at least and punished at worst.

Bao Minggang also knows that his children like snowy days. Every time, after he swept the snow off the roof, the four children had already slipped away with oil on their feet. Search the past, where the children have the best snowball fights and scold them back. When the snow stops, nothing happens, and if the snow continues to fall at night, then you will have to keep a vigil at night and not go to sleep. Children can continue to sleep in their own rooms, but they should change places, not in the attic of their dilapidated house, and either find a safer place to spend the night, or let them sleep in their own rooms downstairs.

Tied up the ladder, but the snow stopped. The snow on the house also melted quickly, and the ugly tiles on the roof were exposed to the cold air in layers. The temperature shows no signs of getting warmer, and the wind is starting to increase its horsepower, which is a precursor to an impending blizzard. Bao Minggang's heart has been hanging in his throat, what if a snowstorm comes in the afternoon, it will be impossible to clear the snow on the roof in one afternoon, but now there is nothing to be done, so he has to resign himself to fate.

This is a few days left until the start of the next semester. The children of the Bao family have been assigned to visit the homes of relatives. Children are more motivated to visit relatives and friends than they are to do anything. At a time when material conditions are very scarce, these innocent children can only experience the taste of big fish and meat and the infinite charm of those toys during the short few days of the Spring Festival. After this Spring Festival, the winter vacation is about to end, and the hard days will come to these children again. Not only were they no longer able to eat glutinous pork and sweet sweets, but endless voluntary labor began. For example, every day, endlessly pulling pigweed and collecting firewood; For example, older children have to take care of their younger siblings at all times; Occasionally, I have to participate in laundry and cooking; Another example is to take care of the poultry for the parents after school, carry water, and cook pig food. Also, help adults temporarily deliver meals, raincoats, and farm tools to the end of the field. These live cycles go on and on. There is almost no homework for any child who usually only cares about doing extracurricular homework on his own.

Sure enough, in less than half an hour, the sky began to fall with snowflakes again. Now it is not as big and thick and dense as people imagine, such as pear blossom flowers and cotton, these small pieces seem to be clowns jumping from the universe, looking through the gaps in the corrugated, they find that there are countless colorless, tasteless, crystal clear granular elves beating happily on the corrugated. Their shape and weight seem negligible, and it's not necessarily how threatening they are. It wandered in the sky like a heartless ghost. The houses, the forests and the mountains and rivers of the earth are so flamboyant and free. It is also like a facilitator and destroyer of natural disasters, and the villagers do not welcome their premature visits. They prevent it through various forms of activity or drive it away and curse it with various superstitious sacrifices. It is a pity that in front of them, how stupid and ridiculous people's behavior is, and how small and helpless a person's power is when disaster befalls people.

It was evening, and a strange and burly man suddenly appeared at the door of Bao Minggang's house. The visitor wore a hat made of sheaths on his head, which looked a little worn, and there was a thin thread of palm leaves peeking out of it on the edge. The red wrench is covered with oil-stained sweat spots, and these black wrenches that have been soaked in sweat many times have left countless traces of time. He was draped in a heavy chestnut robe, and because of the wrapping of the robe, he could no longer see what he was wearing. When he came, the snow was falling heavily. Bao Minggang doesn't know who is coming, what does it mean to be here? Bao Minggang asked the visitor while going down the ladder: "Who are you looking for, how did you come here on this snowy day?" ”

The visitor walked up the steps and took off the hat, revealing a face in the shape of a Chinese character with glasses, this face was bronzed, with many pockmarks on the face, and the upper and lower lips had just scraped with a spatula, blue and black, but the phenomenon of well-developed beard stubble buried deep in the epidermis could still be seen. The bridge of his nose was high and wide, the tip of his nose was also high and upturned, and a few thick black nose hairs in his nostrils tended to break out. The most incredible thing is that he didn't wear a pair of socks on his feet, not even the thin kind of nylon socks, barefoot, and rain boots, and only a pair of rush straw sandals that were neither waterproof nor cold-repellent on one of his feet. This kind of dress is really puzzling: do you say he is a farmer? but wears a pair of heavy myopic glasses, looking sven; You say he's an intellectual, right? This makes it even more suspicious: the intellectuals of the present day still wear bulky and uncomfortable hats to go out to visit; The most puzzling thing is the straw sandals on his feet, and it will make people laugh out of their big teeth if they dare to wear them like this on a snowy day. Now, even the summer farmers don't wear cattail sandals anymore.

The person who came took off the hat and put down the bamboo stick in his hand. Place the hat and the cloak on the yellow clay floor at the door, put the cloak on the ground first, and then place the hat on top of the robe. When Bao Minggang saw this, he hurriedly went to the house and brought a long bench and said, "You can put it on this bench, so that the snow can melt faster." ”

When the man thanked him, he carefully put the coat and hat back on the stool. smiled and said to Bao Minggang: "You should be Bao Zhoutong's parents, I am a newly transferred teacher from Huanting Middle School, surnamed Chen, from the next semester, Bao will be a student in my class." Today, if nothing else, I will first learn about some of the review of Bao classmates and some of the living conditions of your family before the start of school. ”
