14 Chapter 14
Since Yu Nian had a wheelchair, his life has become much more convenient, and when Tian Yao goes out, he has been able to take care of himself, and when Tian Yao is at home, he can still help him do what he can.
Getting closer and closer to the New Year, Tian Yao has less time to go out, most of the time is at home, he picked up the firewood from the mountain before, some of the big ones need to be split, winter is coming, and there are more firewood, fortunately he was diligent before, and this year is afraid that it will be colder than in previous years.
Tian Yao added an extra quilt to the bed, and also covered a blanket made of beast hair when his father was alive before, at this time Tian Yao sighed even more that there was one more person on the bed, what a wonderful thing in this cold winter.
The thing he was worried about that Yu Nian's leg would hurt because of the cold didn't happen, but Tian Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
After winter came, Tian Yao got up much later than before, and he even got up later than Yu Nian.
This day has reached the eighth day of the lunar month, Tian Yao was woken up by the whiteness that came in through the window, and when he woke up, he was still pillowed on Yu Nian's arm, and the hair of the two people was tangled.
Yu Nian hadn't woken up yet, Tian Yao raised his eyes to look at him, he had raised Yu Nian well, and his originally thin and angular face had become rounded, much better looking than when he came here.
He turned his head sideways and looked at the roof, if it weren't for Yu Nian's suffering, they should not have crossed paths in this life, he should be a noble son, and he is still a village brother who is digging in the field.
He sighed, this movement woke up Yu Nian, he moved his arm that was already a little numb, the sleepiness was still a little gone, and his voice was a little urn-like: "Sigh what?" ”
Tian Yao didn't tell him his sad thoughts, but said, "It's so bright outside, it should have snowed last night." ”
Yu Nian opened his eyes and glanced out of the window that was indeed too bright: "It should be." ”
Tian Yao's whole person except for his head, there was no point stretched out of the quilt, and he squeezed towards Yu Nian's side: "You must pan kang next year, it's too cold." ”
Ash was comfortable, and he took his nest to the charcoal basin in the room, and when the charcoal basin was extinguished in the evening, he lay down on the edge of the bed.
Yu Nian hummed and closed his eyes again.
Tian Yao couldn't sleep, but he didn't want to get up, pulling Yu Nian's hair for a while, and grabbing his hand for a while.
Yu Nian's hands are no longer as soft and white as before, since he had a wheelchair, he began to get in and out of bed by himself, and he could also help Tian Yao do a lot of things within his ability, so his palms are now a lot calloused, and his two arms are also a lot thicker, and the pillow is extremely comfortable on it.
But no matter how comfortable it is, you have to get up, today is Laba, there are still a lot of things to do, the village chief's family is going to kill the New Year's pig today, and he has already told him in advance to let him go over to help, almost every year.
He sat up quickly, Yu Nian also got up with him, and after getting dressed, he didn't let Tian Yao carry him out of bed, but supported his arms by himself, supported his body with his strong arm strength, and moved from the bed to the wheelchair.
Tian Yao pushed open the door, and felt the cool air blowing on his face, the snow was thickly paved, and the yard was white, Tian Yao stepped on it, and heard the sound of creaking.
Although the snow was cold, Tian Yao liked to play in the snow, so he rolled a snowball from the door and blocked it straight at the door.
Yu Nian was at the door of the room, looking at him all the time.
Tian Yao thought that he also wanted to play, but thinking about his body, if he contracted the wind chill at this time, it would be really not good, so he grabbed a handful of snow on his big snowball, made a small snowball, and handed it to Yu Nian's hand.
Yu Nian took it, and it was cold.
Ash also jumped out at this time, a man and a dog were spreading joy in the yard, and in a short time there was an extra plum tree in the white snow.
Ash was already quite big now, and it took advantage of Tian Yao's inattention to pounce directly on him and crush him into the snow.
Tian Yao slapped his mouth of snow, turned over and pressed his dog's head into the snow, it took a while to play enough, Tian Yao found a tool to shovel the snow in the yard, it would not be good if Yu Nian fell.
It didn't take much effort to sweep a yard, Tian Yao was steaming at this time, and he simply made breakfast, and he had to go to the village chief's house after eating, because he had to do physical work today, so Tian Yao put on smart clothes, and the whole person was refreshed.
"Do you want to come with me? Today, the village chief's house is lively. After Tian Yao finished speaking, he remembered that the village chief's house was actually not a good place for Yu Nian, and there were some very bad memories of him here.
"Okay, let's go."
While walking on the road, Yu Nian asked Tian Yao: "Does it often snow here in winter?" ”
Tian Yao nodded: "There is a lot of snow, but it usually doesn't fall so early, and it doesn't rain very much, so it snows too early this year." ”
"Do you usually have snow disasters?"
"Never, the snow actually fell in moderation, at least I grew so big, I haven't experienced it."
Yu Nian lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
When I arrived at the village chief's house, many people had already arrived, and the children were running around on the road.
"I'm waiting for you." The village chief walked up to them, glanced up and down at the wheelchair that Yu Nian was sitting on, and nodded towards Tian Yao, "Da Zhuang Bai has grown a big man." ”
Tian Yao smiled: "The village chief helps me take care of my husband." ”
After Tian Yao left, the village chief looked at Yu Nian, this was the first time they had met since the wedding.
He glanced at Yu Nian's good looks, and still breathed a sigh of relief, Tian Yao can be regarded as a child he watched grow up, knowing that his parents educated him well, he didn't want to do evil, he didn't want to harm a human life.
Huailing Village is backed by a mountain, and it rarely has contact with the outside world, and the arrival of this Yu Nian is a big variable for Huailing Village, and a little carelessness will bring disaster to the people of the whole village.
"I haven't thanked the village chief yet." Yu Nian's eyes were always on Tian Yao's body, and he dragged the pig out of the pen by himself, ignoring the pig's wail, and dragged it to the front of the big stove.
The village chief breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what he was thanking for, as long as Yu Nian didn't hold a grudge.
"When spring begins, I can go out for a walk more, and now it's easier to move."
Yu Nian nodded.
The village chief didn't say anything to him anymore, and went over to help.
Yu Nian once again intuitively felt Tian Yao's strength, the village chief's pigs were raised very well, and several strong men couldn't hold down the pigs, Tian Yao didn't seem to have any effort at all, so he pressed the pigs to death, and several people on the other side hurriedly tied the pig's mouth with hemp rope and tied the four hooves to the four legs of the table.
Zhang Butcher had been waiting for a long time, he picked up the knife and stabbed the pig's neck cleanly, and Tian Dazhuang on the side came over with a bucket to pick up the pig's blood.
The sound of the pig sounded for a long time, and the fat pig gradually stopped moving, and the big stove set up on the side had already boiled boiling water, Tian Yao took the lead, threw the pig that had not moved into the pot, scalded the upper body and then scalded the lower body, there was a special person to pluck the pig's hair, Tian Yao ran back to Yu Nian's side.
At this time, there were a few children around him, and last time they were just watching from a distance, but now they all walked to Yu Nian's side, looking at the wheelchair sitting under him with burning eyes.
There was a bolder child who quietly reached out and touched the wheelchair.
But when they saw Tian Yao, they ran away.
Tian Yao: ......
"If they see me, they'll run away!" Tian Yao huffed, "Am I scary?" ”
Yu Nian remembered that he had just crushed the pig, which was something that would make children afraid.
"No, they probably want to play."
Tian Yao laughed again: "Eat at the village chief's house at noon, kill the pig vegetables, the sauerkraut made by my aunt is a must, what meat do you want to eat?" The village chief said that half of the pigs were sold to the Zhang butchers, and the other half was kept for them to eat, so I quietly asked the village chief that we could buy some back. ”
Yu Nian thought for a while: "Buy some bones, right?" ”
Tian Yao knew his thoughts at once: "Boil soup and eat pot?" But I'm going to boil eight-treasure porridge today. ”
"Pickle it up and eat it in two days."
Tian Yao responded with a hello, and someone over there called him again, so he ran over again.
A pig is killed and then dissected, it almost took a noon time, the village chief's daughter-in-law Aunt Hu has begun to prepare the noon pig killing dish, the pig's blood has been processed, the plum blossom meat is cut into large pieces, the most important thing is Aunt Hu's pickled sauerkraut, almost just under the pot, the fragrance is rubbing out.
There is nothing particular about eating in the village, and in such an atmosphere, everyone is actually not willing to be restrained, they are all holding a bowl of vegetables, and several familiar people are squatting together, eating hotly.
"Why don't we take it home and eat it?" Tian Yao was still afraid that he would not be comfortable with this kind of eating directly on the side of the road with a bowl and everywhere in the yard, so he asked him.
Yu Nian shook his head: "No." ”
So Tian Yao quickly finished eating a bowl of pig-killing vegetables and gnawed two nests, and then ran to tell the village chief that he wanted to buy bones.
The village chief's brows were furrowed so much that he could kill mosquitoes: "What are you buying that thing for!" Not at all. After speaking, he remembered the wheelchair that Yu Nian was sitting in, and knew that they might have a hard time this year, and they couldn't even afford to eat some meat.
"No, we're just hungry." Tian Yao hurriedly waved his hand.
But the village chief didn't listen at all, and asked Aunt Hu to pack all the clean bones to him, and despite Tian Yao's objections, he packed another piece of meat for him.
Tian Yao ran with the bones, put the copper plate on the table at his door before running, and then pushed Yu Nian back home.
It gets dark early in winter, and when they get home for a while, the sky gets dark, and there are not so many materials at home, so Tian Yao just mixed everything in the house, cooked a porridge, and fried a cabbage sliced meat with the meat given by the village chief, Tian Yao's cooking skills are much better now, and he can make a lot of different dishes with the booklet given by his father.
Yu Nian has been flipping through that booklet recently, and the more he reads it, the more he feels that Tian Yao's little father is unusual, and many cooking practices, even if he lived in Fucheng before, he has never heard of it.
He glanced at the messy storage room next to him, and said to Tian Yao while eating: "It's nothing lately, let's clean up the room next to it, right?" ”
Tian Yao suddenly looked at him vigilantly: "What are you doing?" You want to sleep in a separate room again?! ”
