Chapter 111 It's Snowing

In the evening of that day, people came one after another, and the number of people with a dozen or twenty yuan was the most, and it was enough to express their hearts.The old village head was particular about it. Since Wang Gui didn’t live with him, he didn’t count as two families if he didn’t have a separate family. When he was a member, he could only live in one family. Therefore, the old village head paid 50 yuan, which was the most in the village. .

There were also people who brought firecrackers or homemade sweet wine, but old man Qian sent two rabbits. In fact, the price of two wild rabbits would be more than a hundred if they were sold in this day and age, but the people in the village It's because they don't have the habit of selling them, and they have never exchanged them for money. They just eat them as soon as they are caught, so they don't seem to be as valuable as money, but they are not.What surprised Zhang Taiping was that the old man Zhao at the east end of the village also asked the girl named Xiaoshu to send a jar of wine.

Those who came were also those who were close to each other or who often helped Zhang Taiping with a lot of wages during this period.The dishes are served on big bowls, and the self-brewed sweet wine is drunk in big bowls. This kind of wine has a very low alcohol content, even women and children can drink a lot.A meal is not over until the stars are full.

Fan Ming seems to be very sensitive to alcohol due to her constitution. Even Yaya can drink a few cups of sweet wine. She just drank a glass of wine, her cheeks flushed and her starry eyes blurred, but she has signs of drinking madness. Zeng Xiang was simply drunk and passed out, and was supported by Xing Rushui to fall asleep early.

Aunt Wang helped Cai Yazhi clean up the messy dining table before leaving.The solar water heater was installed yesterday, and I can take a bath today. Zhang Taiping taught Cai Yazhi how to use it and even took a bath, but she did nothing wrong. She was too busy today and went to bed early after washing. up.

Early the next morning, the sky changed. The sky was still full of stars last night, but this morning it was gray. This is a sign that it is about to snow.Zhang Taiping is still slightly happy in his heart. It has been many years since Xi'an has not had heavy snowfall. It just means that the ground melts a little bit. Before people can feel the snow, it disappears without a trace. Take the sky now. Judging from this posture, there is going to be a heavy snowfall.

Zhang Taiping came to the courtyard after practicing boxing, kicking and knife skills. Fan Ming and Yaya were squatting side by side under the eaves and brushing their teeth.Zhang Taiping couldn't help but smile, looking at Fan Ming like a child who can't grow up.

He took the rack cart from the yard and took it to the village chief's house. He had already discussed with Wang Gui last night to go to the town to buy some briquettes and anthracite.

When we arrived at the village chief's house, we parked the shelf truck in the yard, and jumped onto Wang Gui's three-wheeled motorcycle, which was already waiting at the intersection.Wang Gui first sent the mushrooms to various restaurants, and then the two came to the briquette making room, and the queue outside was long.In winter, or before it snows, briquettes are the fastest selling time.

There was a young man who wanted to jump in the queue when he saw a lot of people in front of him. The others were ordinary people. Seeing that this man with yellow hair didn’t look like a good thing, he just pretended he didn’t see that one more thing is worse than one less thing. Not much more time.Zhang Taiping was feeling very troubled, unexpectedly someone jumped in line, he felt angry, he went directly to kick the yellow hair, kicking him staggeringly.Huang Mao turned around angrily and wanted to scold his mother, but when he saw Zhang Taiping, he seemed to know him, so he wilted away, walked to the back without saying a word, and walked at the end of the line under Zhang Taiping's gaze.Seeing that he was so knowledgeable, Zhang Taiping had nothing to say.

It took two hours in line to arrive at Wang Gui and Zhang Taiping, mainly due to the slow loading time.The two each loaded 200 yuan, and the car would not be able to hold any more.I bought some anthracite coal at the place where the carbon was sold, and it was almost noon when I returned to the village.Wang Gui first parked the car in front of his own house, paid 200 yuan of briquettes, and then drove the car to Zhang Taiping's house.

The briquettes are unloaded from the car and stacked under the eaves in the middle yard, and the anthracite is also placed on top.The family has already bought a variety of electrical appliances, so in fact there is no need for honeycomb briquettes, but Zhang Taiping considers that in winter, the house can be warmed by a stove, and a pot of water can also be placed on the stove, which can be used at any time hot water.Anthracite is bought for kang, not only can keep warm for a long time, but also much cleaner than firewood.

At noon, the well-arranged fence was delivered, and Zhang Taiping paid the wages, and asked someone to help fence the strawberry field by the way, and added half a day's wages to everyone.

The weather that wanted to snow in the morning persisted until the afternoon, but the sky was so gloomy that it seemed that water was about to drip out. The gray sky gave people a depressing feeling. A cold wind began to blow outside, and the northwest wind was blowing like a knife. Quite uncomfortable on the face.The collar was a little loose, and the cold wind poured in whenever it had time, making people shiver.Sitting on the kang in this weather is the most comfortable. A few people sitting in a pile chatting and chatting, drinking shochu, or four people playing cards together, it is like a living god.

Zhang Taiping walked around the backyard, and the chickens had already been racked early.Cai Yazhi seldom took the milk sheep pregnant with Liujia out for pasture because of her body. It was she who cut the grass that hadn't turned yellow or fed the hay that she had prepared earlier.The sheep heard the movement of Zhang Taiping entering the pen, and raised his head to look at him. Zhang Taiping could see a kind of brilliance belonging to his mother from her eyes.Flapping her nostrils, the sheep stood up from the ground and came to Zhang Taiping's feet. Judging from her body, she was not too far away from giving birth.Zhang Taiping took out some space and poured it into the basin on the ground, the sheep sniffed it and drank it, the spring water of space is always good for her body and the baby sheep in her womb.

The little squirrel didn't go out anymore, and curled up in Yaya's arms, lying on the kang and watching TV.The two parrots also became quiet at this time. Animals always have a stronger feeling for Tianwei than humans, and they also have a kind of respect for Tianwei from the bottom of their bones. In the house no longer flying around outside, like a child returning home tired of wandering.At the moment, they are standing on the garland Fan Ming made for them and hanging in the air, combing their feathers.

Only the lion is still active, following closely around Zhang Taiping and patrolling the yard, Ah Huang, whose body is getting bigger and bigger, is lying lazily on the ground in the middle of the room without moving, as its body grows again After he could no longer find an opponent in the village, this guy seemed to have a feeling of loneliness as a master. He spent much less time going out and wandering around. He just lay in the yard and basked in the sun when he had nothing to do, quietly like a 70-year-old knowing his destiny old man.Only those who have seen it behave in the mountains and forests know how perverted this docile-looking big dog is always lying in the yard as if it has no temper at all. This is the master who can challenge Qinglang!

It's still the lion jumping away, young, jumping around behind Zhang Taiping.After a few months, the lion has become bigger than the ordinary dogs in the village. The genetic factors are undoubtedly revealed. It has not only the fierceness of the Caucasus, but also the handsomeness and docility of St. Bernard.Docile and ferocious are not contradictory at all. The appearance of St. Bernard is a bit more long-haired. He is as docile as a kitten in front of the owner at home. When fighting with other dogs outside, he is as fierce as the Caucasus. show up.One time he fought with a native dog in the village. If Zhang Taiping hadn’t bitten off the neck of the native dog directly after scolding him, that was the only time he showed his viciousness. The rest of the time he was still quite docile, treating other dogs Also friendlier.

After all, it was going to snow in such a weather at night, Zhang Taiping inspected the yard, saw that there was nothing to do, so he sat on the kang and got a pair of poker, and the four of them played a game that women in the countryside often play.Both Fan Ming and Xing Rushui are novices, but after Zhang Taiping explained the rules, Xing Rushui immediately transformed into a master, while Fan Ming is still a rookie among rookies.Zhang Taiping is in a group with Fan Ming, Xing Rushui is in a group with Cai Yazhi.Cai Yazhi knew how to play, coupled with a person with terrifying intelligence, Fan Ming frequently failed cards, and Zhang Taiping couldn't support himself alone.Everyone has been promoted for one round, and the two of them are still on the fifth floor. If they use rural terms, they have just climbed up from the running pit.In the end, Fan Ming finally couldn't stand it in frustration and stopped playing.

It happened to be past six o'clock at this time, and the sky darkened. It was time to make dinner, and the four of them finished playing cards.Only Yaya was still sitting on the kang watching TV, Fan Ming also sat beside Yaya and watched TV, Xing Rushui and Cai Yazhi went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Zhang Taiping put on the cloth padded shoes that Cai Yazhi made some time ago, put on a shirt and went to the front yard.

The cold wind pierced Zhang Taiping's body, but he didn't feel much change. Zhang Taiping stretched out his hand, and some small white particles in the air fell on his hand. It's snowing!

This is not an orthodox hexagonal snowflake shape, but a grain size of half a grain of rice.In the countryside, it is commonly known as "oil pan shower" or "cold thorn", and this kind of thing means that the air in the sky is very cold, and the next snow will be heavy snow after all, and it will last for a long time. The "cold thorns" made a rustling sound when they hit the trees, and the ground was already covered with a thin layer. This kind of snow is the most difficult to melt. When it falls, it means that the temperature on the ground is already very low. The superior roll didn't melt, it "sat" and made a pavement for the heavy snow that came down to "sit" on the ground.

Walking in the yard, the hard round particles roll under people's feet, and they will slip if they are not careful.Zhang Taiping stood on the edge of the courtyard, looking north, the scattered roofs were covered with a layer of mist, not covered in silver, but still had a hazy beauty, the small village was more peaceful and comfortable at this moment.
