Chapter 33 Snow in Brassica Village

"How do you talk old woman!"

When Zhao Xiaojia heard her grandma speak ill of her friend, she blushed even more angrily——

Zhao Erdan stretched out his hand to stop him, and smiled awkwardly,

"Grandma Xiaojia, I have something to do with Xiaojia, you go back to the house first, let's go out for a while."

As he spoke, he grabbed Zhao Xiaojia and dragged him outside.

Zhao Xiaojia's grandmother was still cursing incessantly from behind, and Zhao Xiaojia would turn her head back from time to time. The grandparent and grandson didn't stop until they couldn't see each other.

Zhao Erdan let go of his hand,
"What's the matter, why are you arguing with your grandma again? Didn't you say that your grandma has been ill recently?"

"Don't ask second brother,"

Zhao Xiaojia scratched her hair impatiently,
"Look at her appearance, where does she seem to be wrong? I think she is usually afraid of pretending to be sick, and deliberately pretends to be that way so that I can listen to her.

If you're really sick, you might as well die early, and save yourself from bothering me every day! "

"Hush boy, keep your voice down,"

A generous slap hit the boy on the head, knocking him to one side,
"It's not going to affect you well if the people in the village hear about it."

Although Zhao Xiaojia's expression was still angry, he still kept his mouth shut after hearing what Zhao Erdan said.

"You don't have anything to complain about. Anyway, at her age, she won't be able to live a serious life for long.
You might as well take advantage of this time to treat her better, maybe you can get more money from her so that you can marry a wife in the future. "

As he spoke, Zhao Erdan took out a few eggs from the basket and handed them to Zhao Xiaojia.

"You take these and get some to eat, and get some for her too."

"Nothing but second brother, our house..."

"Why are you meeting me?"

Without any explanation, those few eggs were stuffed into his arms,
"What's the relationship between us brothers?"

"But you gave it to me, can your grandma agree?"

"It's okay, she doesn't know, I just got it from my uncle's house today. You can take it with confidence. "

"Then, then I will not be polite, second brother,"

Zhao Xiaojia and his family had eaten green vegetables for a long time, and they were overjoyed when they got these eggs at first, and they held them in their arms and said in a pleasant voice.

The two said a few more words, and then Zhao Erdan went home.

……

The sky is still thick indigo,

On the roof of the dilapidated house at the outermost edge of Brassica Village, there was a dim figure standing straight on it.

Zhao Huniu was wearing a black dress, her hair was only tied into a high ponytail,
Overlooking the Brassica village that has not yet woken up.

Every morning before dawn, she sneaks out of the village in order to exercise her body.In addition to running twenty laps around the village,
It is to fly back and forth on the roofs of various houses in the village, practicing lightness kung fu.

Although this body can only run five or ten laps at first,
But under Zhao Huniu's insistence, there is no problem in running the full [-] laps now.

Taking a long breath, Zhao Huniu exhaled the stale air in her chest; she turned around and twisted the sole of her right foot, and she rose into the air,

Lightly landed on the roof of a nearby place,
Not even a sound came out.

At this time, Zhao Huniu was like a fallen leaf, falling on the roofs of the houses in Brassica Village,
It won't take long,

She landed lightly in her yard.

The chicken coop and duck pen, the two places in the yard are also quiet. Although a few died a few days ago, thanks to Zhao Huniu's careful care and humbly asking for advice,

She actually allowed her to feed this large circle of poultry in the late autumn and early winter.

Zhao Huniu looked around the two sides,
Nodding with satisfaction.

In front of my eyes, it was sticky as if covered with blue silk, but suddenly appeared bit by bit, mixed in with small white flowers,

Zhao Huniu raised her head,

A little bit of broken white flowers are falling on her eyelashes.

she held out her hand,

Snowing?
Liu Xiaowan pushed open the window, exhaled a breath of white air,
She thought yesterday that it might snow today, but when she saw it, it really was.

Closed the window with a "click", Liu Xiaowan changed into a long cotton skirt and a thick jacket, pushed open the door of the room and entered the yard,
Lifting the wooden bucket, she saw a round mirror-like ice formed on the surface of the bucket,

The bottom of the bucket tapped on the ice,

Make a "clang clang clang" sound.

Although the water below did not freeze, it was bitingly cold when it touched the water; Liu Xiaowan dragged the rope to sink the bucket vigorously,
Pull it up again, and it's two-thirds full.

Lifting the wooden barrel filled with water into the kitchen with slender arms,
Angrily, Liu Xiaowan rubbed her hands, then squatted down with her skirts in her arms, picked up firewood to start a fire, and boiled the water that she and her father would use to wash up later, and then made a new pot for breakfast.

Although Liu Xiaowan in thick clothes looks a bit bulky,
But she was busy in the kitchen alone but methodically, and it seemed that she had been doing it for many years.

In the drifting mist,

Brassica Village wakes up in the morning.

"It's snowing! It's snowing!"

"These children, every single one of them looks like they've been slapped with chicken blood when it snows,"

Zhao Cunwu came out of his room, listening to the sound of children playing outside the house one after another, with a smile on his face.

He said to Zhao Huniu who was feeding chickens and ducks in the corner:

"Good girl, do you still remember that when you were a child, you also liked snow the most. When your mother was still there, you often asked her to take you out early in the morning.
Go to the river next to our village to see the ice. "

Speaking of Zhao Huniu's childhood, Zhao Cunwu was full of kindness.

Zhao Huniu didn't feel anything, and of course she couldn't remember what Zhao Cunwu said; watching the chickens in front of her circle around, pecking at the chicken food she had dropped,
There was an indescribable peace in Zhao Huniu's heart.

"Father, if I go out for a while, I won't eat the food at home. You can make it yourself."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm going to Xiaowan's house,"

"Okay, come back quickly, don't disturb others for too long."

Zhao Huniu nodded, and walked towards Liu Xiaowan's house with her burden on her back.

There are fewer animals on the mountain in winter, and her contract with Jinlulou has also entered a suspension period.
But those two wild boars and the money they saved before are enough for them to live a safe and warm winter.
For Zhao Cunwu and his daughter, who can't remember the last time they had a full winter, this is really something to be happy about.

Of course, it mainly refers to Zhao Cunwu,

After all, this is the first winter that Zhao Huniu spent in this world after reviving her corpse.

A few days ago, Zhao Huniu went to the county town to buy some bacon for the winter.
She could hardly get these things any peasant woman could get,

I have to spend money to buy other people's good ones.

Liu Xiaowan will probably do it,

Zhao Huniu thought so,

I don't know if it's the delicious food bought in the city, or if Liu Xiaowan made it delicious,

When you send these to Liu's house, ask Xiaowan.

"Tiger girl!"

When Zhao Huniu looked up, she saw Zhao Licheng running towards her who was calling her name.
