5 Snow plowing
It snowed again during the night.
When I woke up the next day, there was another thin layer of snow outside, and the eaves were covered with crystal ice cubes.
Qin Zichu broke one casually and happily handed it to Su Xiaohan, "Xiaohan, look at this, it's so beautiful." ”
The climate is not so warm in this era, so snow and ice are everywhere, but Qin Zichu had only seen it in his rural hometown before the age of five in his previous life, and he rarely saw it when he went to the city later.
I miss it so much.
This thing is nothing unusual to Su Xiaohan, but if Xianggong likes it, he likes it too.
The two played in the courtyard for a while, and Sun Xiaoshan's call came from the kitchen: "Xiao Han, Xiao Qin, come into the house quickly, be careful not to freeze." ”
The two of them answered, then shook the ice water in their hands and went into the kitchen together.
The stove was burning, Sun Xiaoshan took a spatula and gently stirred the sweet potato porridge in the pot, looking at the same, so he asked Su Xiaohan to add less firewood.
Qin Zichu squeezed around Su Xiaohan, and the two of them roasted the fire together, and after a while, their bodies warmed up.
Su Ren drank too much yesterday, and he only got up now.
"Go wash your face, it's already in the pot."
I didn't go to the hall when it was cold, and the family sat around the small table in the kitchen, warm.
There was a small bowl of pickles on the table, as well as a meat dish.
The meat dish is made with leftover ingredients from yesterday.
Sun Xiaoshan took clean chopsticks and sandwiched a chopstick meat for Su Xiaohan and Qin Zichu, and said with a smile: "It's cold, eat more." ”
"Thank you, Daddy."
Qin Zichu also sandwiched meat for Sun Xiaoshan and Su Ren, "Yesterday I got married to Xiaohan, and my father and father worked hard." ”
Su Xiaohan nodded, "Daddy and Daddy also eat more." ”
There weren't many meat dishes left yesterday, and Sun Xiaoshan didn't plan to eat them, but this was given by his brother-in-law, so he ate them happily.
Qin Zichu glanced at Su Ren, who didn't speak, and said with concern: "Dad, does your head still hurt?" ”
Su Ren responded, "It's much better to lie down all night." ”
Sun Xiaoshan smiled in his eyes and said angrily: "I told you to drink less and not listen, now it's uncomfortable." ”
Su Ren smiled honestly, "It was just yesterday, and my heart was happy." ”
Hearing him say this, Sun Xiaoshan didn't complain about anything more.
Su Xiaohan was reluctant to eat a piece of meat after eating, the family didn't have much money now, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to eat meat for a while.
It's all left for Xianggong and Daddy to eat.
But Qin Zichu didn't care, seeing that he had been eating pickles, he sandwiched another piece of meat, which was still the largest piece.
Su Xiaohan was puzzled: "Xianggong, you eat." ”
"I have, Xiaohan eats."
"Xianggong is not in good health, so he needs to make up for it."
"Xiaohan also has to make up for it."
Su Ren, who was on the other side, looked at the two of them pushing around, and said with a smile: "Xiaohan, you can eat it, it's all my brother-in-law's thoughts." ”
Su Xiaohan buried his head in embarrassment and ate meat.
Qin Zichu said with a smile: "Xiao Han, I know what you mean, but we are a family, some eat together, and if you don't have to eat, you don't eat together, if you leave it for me to eat, then I won't feel at ease when I eat." ”
It's the same with Daddy.
In this era, materials are scarce, and the people at the bottom have a hard time, and what is good is usually reserved for children and men.
Brothers and women are often at the bottom of the line.
But Qin Zichu doesn't like this, his concept is that the family shares weal and woe, eat more and eat less.
Su Ren nodded, "Xiao Qin is right, you can eat Xiaoshan too." ”
Sun Xiaoshan nodded, "Okay." ”
When Qin Zichu sandwiched meat for Su Xiaohan again, Xiaohan ate it obediently.
He thinks it's good to be a good man.
After breakfast, Su Xiaohan took a shovel and went to the courtyard to clear the snow.
Qin Zichu also followed.
"Xianggong, you go to the house to study."
Qin Zichu shook his head, "It's a little cold in the house, I'll move and go back when my body is hot." ”
In winter, the indoor in the south is very cold, it can be said that it is comparable to the outside, there is no kang, and the stove has to burn charcoal, and the average person cannot afford to consume it.
Su Xiaohan showed a look of annoyance, how could he forget this stubble?
Usually they don't dare to stay in the house themselves, they have to move, but Xianggong is a scholar, so he can't move much at all, and his hands and feet must not be frozen when he reads.
"Xianggong, I'll go to the town tomorrow to buy you a small hand stove."
Buy a soup lady again, this is a bit expensive, I don't know if the family's money is enough.
Qin Zichu knew the situation at home, and quickly shook his head, "It's okay, I'll just sit down and move for a while." ”
"Then how can I do it, Xianggong will freeze like this."
Su Xiaohan didn't even have the heart to shovel snow, and he couldn't wait to go to the town now to buy a small stove to come back.
Qin Zichu held his hand and coaxed: "I'm a man, I'm not so afraid of the cold, do you see if your hands are hot?" ”
"Well, but ......"
"That's how I read when I'm at home."
Seeing that Xiao Han was still worried, Qin Zichu smiled and said, "Actually, I have a better way than a small hand stove." ”
"What's the solution, Xianggong will say it quickly."
"Xiao Han goes to the house to accompany me more, and I won't be cold."
Su Xiaohan's face flushed with shame, they are at the gate now, and Xianggong said such things.
"Xiaohan?"
Su Xiaohan nodded almost undetectably, "I know Xianggong." ”
Qin Zichu let go of his hand, and the two of them cleared the snow together.
Su Xiaohan shoveled in front, Qin Zichu followed behind, and the two worked closely together.
People passing by greeted each other with a smile, "Xiao Han Xiao Qin, what about snow sweeping?" ”
Su Xiaohan stopped what he was doing, responded politely, and occasionally chatted with someone.
Qin Zichu followed him to call someone.
The young couple are both good-looking, and they are so well matched when they stand together.
Those who pass by must be praised.
Halfway through the sweep, the two stopped to rest, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Zichu cut a branch and wrote in the snow.
"Xianggong, what did you write?"
"Your name."
Su Xiaohan's eyes lit up, "Really? ”
"Hmm." Qin Zichu pointed to the three words and read them to him one by one, "Su, small, cold." ”
Su Xiaohan subconsciously read it along, "It turns out that my name is written like this." ”
"Yes, does Xiao Han want to learn?"
Su Xiaohan was a little nervous, he usually did work, and his hands were a little thick, can he write well?
But Qin Zichu coaxed him, "Don't be afraid, give me your hand." ”
He held Su Xiaohan's hand, stroke by stroke, and patiently wrote those three words in the snow.
After writing, Su Xiaohan looked at his hands, his eyes glowing.
He just wrote!
Although it was written by Sang-gong holding his hand, the feeling was really amazing.
"Xiao Han's hands are so steady, and he is born to write."
Su Xiaohan knew that Xianggong was encouraging him, obviously his hands were shaking just now.
"With a lot of practice in the future, you can write it well."
Su Xiaohan was stunned for a moment, "Practice? ”
"That's right, you learn your own name first, and I'll teach you something else when I'm done."
"Xianggong, I don't want to learn anymore."
Qin Zichu knew that he was afraid of wasting paper and pen, so he said, "Is it okay to use the paper I used first?" ”
Su Xiaohan was happy now, "Okay, then I want to learn the name of Xianggong." ”
"Okay."
While the feeling was still there, Su Xiaohan picked up the branch again and practiced awkwardly, stroke by stroke, with a very solemn expression.
"Yo, Xiaohan, is this writing?"
Su Xiaohan said embarrassedly: "Xianggong taught me to write my name." ”
"This reader is different, and Xiaohan will be able to read and write in the future."
"Auntie said and laughed, where can I study as a brother."
*
After clearing the snow, Qin Zichu went back to the house to read, and when he taught Qin Zisheng to read, he copied a copy for himself by the way, and then left all the books to Qin Zisheng.
As a result, when I turned through the book box now, I found that Qin Zisheng actually secretly stuffed him with a copy of "Thousand Character Text".
Qin Zichu smiled, and he didn't know if Sheng'er was in a better mood, when he went out yesterday, he suddenly cried, holding his leg and refusing to let go.
In the first month of coming to this world, Qin Zisheng gave him the most warmth.
Let's go back to see him more when you have time in the future.
Qin Zichu was reading a book in the house, and outside Su Ren moved the carpentry tools to the yard, chose a leeward corner and started working.
Su Xiaoxing is about to get married soon, and he naturally wants to give a gift as the second uncle, and after thinking about it, he plans to make a set of tables and chairs and send them over, which is just right to use.
Su Xiaohan didn't have anything to do, so he helped with some small work.
Sun Xiaoshan was in the house tidying up the things left over from yesterday.
The family was busy with their own work, and before they knew it, an hour had passed.
Qin Zichu had to come out for a walk, his hands and feet were almost frozen into ice cubes.
"Xianggong, isn't it too cold?"
"No, my eyes hurt a little, come out and let the wind go."
Su Xiaohan tilted his head and carefully examined Qin Zichu's eyes, and was relieved to find that there was nothing abnormal.
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Su Renle said: "The table and chair made for Xiao Xing, he is about to get married." ”
Qin Zichu remembered.
He squatted down and looked at it for a while, and asked curiously, "Dad, what style of table and chair do you want to make?" ”
Speaking of style, Su Ren had a little headache, "Xiao Xingfei said that the ordinary style is not good-looking, this table and chair, it's good to be stable, where are there so many fresh patterns?" ”
Su Ren really didn't understand what style their young children liked.
asked Xiaoxing, he couldn't say anything, anyway, he just didn't look good.
Su Hong asked him to make a set casually, but Su Ren still thought about it seriously, but in the end he didn't come up with it.
Now that his brother-in-law asked, he casually picked up the style he had drawn and showed him.
Paper is expensive, and Su Ren is reluctant, so he draws it on cardboard with charcoal, and he can erase it if he doesn't use it.
"You can take a look and choose one that young people like."
Qin Zichu looked at it for a while and found that the styles were almost the same, basically just a little tricks on the old style.
"Dad, I'll help you draw."
Su Ren was stunned for a moment, "You still draw this?" ”
"I'll try."
There are a lot of modern creative furniture, and Qin Zichu casually recalled that there were more than a dozen kinds in his mind, as long as he drew the simplest ones.
It's guaranteed that people of this era have never seen it.
"Dad, you wait for me for a while."
Then he got up and went back to the house.
Su Ren and Su Xiaohan glanced at each other.
"Xiaohan, you take a look for your father."
Needless to say, Su Xiaohan had already followed.
