Chapter 88 I Can't Eat Hot Tofu

"Why don't you have a car?"

Li Guilan looked at the empty road, feeling very melancholy.

If she didn't know that Song Weiguo was coming back, Li Guilan wouldn't be so worried.

But the telegram came.

"Mom, let me tell you, you're just asking for trouble!"

Song Juan saw that Li Guilan was so entangled, and decided to persuade her.

"Think about it, if the road has been dredged, then brother will definitely come back for the New Year."

"But if the road is not cleared, then the elder brother will definitely not be able to come back."

"Whether you look at the road or not, nothing will change."

"If you're so worried and make yourself sick, then it's all the elder brother's fault!"

"You don't want big brother and the others to come back, but they see you lying on the kang, right?"

Song Juan actually doesn't know how to persuade others.

But, she knows what Li Guilan cares about.

So her persuasion is more appropriate as a threat.

Coincidentally, Li Guilan really does this.

Of course, although Song Juan successfully suppressed Li Guilan's eagerness, she also dug a hole for herself.Li Guilan no longer cared whether the road was open to traffic, but handed over the job to Song Juan.

"Mom, it's cold outside!"

Song Juan suddenly felt that her mother's love was disappearing.

Li Guilan snorted and said, "Why is it cold? You're wearing so much, you don't feel cold at all when you walk."

"But, I'm afraid of the cold!"

Song Juan expressed her grievance.

"You are not afraid!"

Li Guilan was firm.

Sure enough, love will disappear.

In front of the eldest son who hadn't come home for several years, the little girl who had been doted on fell out of favor.

……

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, Song Juan wanted to lie down in the warm bed for a while, but Li Guilan yelled at her.

"Mom, you are too much!"

Song Juan got up helplessly.

"Get up quickly, and go to see if there are any cars passing by on the road later!"

"Know it!"

Facing a mother who had been obsessed with her son who missed her for many years, Song Juan did not dare to stand firm.

This person must know the current affairs.

Those who know the times are Junjie!

After Song Juan got dressed, she thought she would go to the road at the entrance of the village after breakfast to see the situation, but she never thought that breakfast was not ready yet, her mother asked her to go now to see if there were any tire marks on the road.

"Oh...it's really a demonic barrier!"

Song Juan felt slanderous in her heart, but she still went out obediently to the road at the head of the village to check for tire marks left by cars passing by.

The sun hadn't fully risen yet, but the sky was dim.

However, today is a fine day, cloudless.

Song Juan came out of the house, and after walking for a while, she felt the chill hit her face, and couldn't help but sneezed several times.

A few minutes later, Song Juan arrived at the side of the road.

Unfortunately, there were no rut marks left on the road.

Song Juan stood on the side of the road a little depressed, looking towards both sides of the road, but unfortunately, she couldn't see anything.

Although the snow on the road has been cleared, the problem is that the snow is piled up on both sides of the road, and as far as the eye can see, there is a vast expanse of whiteness.

"With this road condition, can you really drive?"

Song Juan felt that even if the road was cleared, it would be difficult for the car to drive due to the white snow on both sides of the road.

Snow reflection, snow blindness, if one is not good, there may be a big accident.

Song Juan sighed, turned and went home.

As for the thoughts in her heart, she must not tell her mother, otherwise, it would only increase her troubles.

Back home, breakfast is ready.

Li Guilan stood at the door eagerly, seeing Song Juan come back, her eyes were full of anticipation.

Song Juan sighed and said, "Mom, there are no wheel marks!"

"Oh, then let's eat!"

When Li Guilan heard that there were no wheel marks, the anticipation on her face was replaced by depression.

Song Juan stopped talking nonsense this time.

Eat, eat breakfast and run away quickly.

Of course, this escape is not running away from home, but going to the fourth brother Song Guoqing's house to hide for a while.

Now that my mother is in trouble, even if I want to see if there is a car passing by, I have to find a favorable place.

The fourth brother Song Guoqing's family is very suitable.

Because their home is very close to the village.

In this way, Song Juan didn't have to suffer from the cold on the road all the time.

However, after breakfast, before Song Juan could run away, Li Guilan ordered her to wash the dishes.

"After washing the dishes, you stay at home, I'm going to your fourth brother's house!"

Hearing what Li Guilan said, Song Juan instantly understood that her own mother had the same idea as her.

"Mom, I'll go to the fourth brother's house with you later!"

"No, you just stay at home!"

"If you have nothing to do, read more books."

"..."

Song Juan wanted to ask, what am I doing reading?
However, she didn't ask.

The wind was blowing outside, and her plan to become a primary school teacher had come to nothing. She would either go to a factory to find a job, or stay at home all the time.

Either way, basically you don't need to read a book.

As for going to work in the factory?

The difficulty is also quite large.

In the current situation, it is difficult for people with urban hukou to arrange work, let alone her with a rural hukou?
Therefore, she is more likely to stay in the village.

And if she stays in the village, it means that she needs to face the trouble of urging marriage.

"It's too bad!"

Thinking that girls in this era usually get married relatively early, Song Juan felt tired.

Although the country now has a marriage law, in the village, everyone doesn't have much legal awareness, and they still follow the older generation's way.

In the eyes of many people, getting a marriage certificate and not having a banquet is not considered a marriage.

Conversely, if you hold a banquet, even if you don't have a marriage certificate, you will be considered married.

Many people of the same age as Song Juan are actually married now.

Only a few are still unmarried.

Among them, some people cannot afford to marry because of family reasons.There are also some people who can't get married because the bride price can't be negotiated.

People like Song Juan are an exception.

In a short time, it's nothing, after all, I'm favored.

But if it takes a long time, it will be difficult to get married.

Because all boys of the same age have already married wives, and most of the rest who have not married wives are because their families are too poor to marry wives.

It is obviously impossible for Song Laifu and Li Guilan to let Song Juan marry such a family.

Suddenly thinking about her future, Song Juan felt even more worried.

……

All morning, Song Juan had nothing to do at home.

If you read a book, you will definitely not be able to read it.

I tried to find someone to talk to, but couldn't find it.

In the past, there was a fake girlfriend Zhao Meilan who could talk, but when Song Juan came here, she didn't even have a fake girlfriend.

"Am I a loner?"

Song Juan was extremely bored.

Going out and looking at the thick snow on the mountain, Song Juan also gave up the idea of ​​going to the mountain to get some game.

With such a thick snow, no one can go into the mountains without a few days of sunshine.

Just when Song Juan was feeling very bored, she suddenly saw a group of sparrows chattering on the sycamore tree not far away.

"Hey, there is!"

Seeing the flock of sparrows, Song Juan immediately came up with an idea.

With such a heavy snow, these sparrows couldn't find anything to eat.

This time is the best time to catch sparrows.

Thinking of this, Song Juan immediately left the house, went to her third brother's house, and called out Song Mingshu, a nephew who was always making trouble.

"Auntie, I have to do my homework!"

When Song Mingshu saw Song Juan coming, he spoke seriously.

There is heavy snow everywhere, and only the streets in the village have been cleared. The children can't find a place to play, so naturally they can only stay at home and do their homework.

"What homework to write? Don't worry, today, let's catch sparrows first!"

"Catch a sparrow?"

"How to catch?"

"Can you catch it?"

"Auntie, we want to catch sparrows too!"

Hearing what Song Juan said to Song Mingshu, Song Mingwen and Song Mingwu also became interested.

These two little guys are now dressed in buns. They are not big, round and round, and it feels like walking is strenuous.

Because seeing the appearance of the two little guys, Song Juan didn't want to bring them with her.Anyway, when the sparrows are caught, let them play with them or eat them.

But now, the two little Doudings insisted on participating, so Song Juan could only bring them along.

Seeing this, Qu Xiaofu was also ready to join in the fun.

"Sister-in-law three, you are a teacher, aren't you afraid of being seen by your students?"

Song Juan winked at Qu Xiaofu and teased her, "When the time comes, I will lose the majesty of the teacher, don't blame me!"

As a teacher, you must have dignity.

After all, brats are very naughty.

If the teacher lost his authority, it would not be easy to calm down a group of brats.

Qu Xiaofu chuckled and said, "The children in the village are all staying at home, who will see?"

"That's not necessarily true!"

Song Juan spread her hands, "Anything, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case!"

"Makes sense!"

Qu Xiaofu chuckled, "Then I won't help, I'll just watch from the side!"

"..."

Song Juan rolled her eyes when she heard this.

After getting in touch with her third sister-in-law a lot, Song Juan realized that this third sister-in-law was not the kind of old pedant, nor the kind of stable and dignified temperament.

Many times, Qu Xiaofu is more childish than Song Juan herself.

However, Qu Xiaofu wouldn't help if she didn't help, so it wasn't a big problem.

It is actually very simple to catch sparrows.

First arrange traps, and then use wheat bran and wheat grains as bait to attract sparrows from the trees to come down.

But this thing, it will take time.

Song Juan first found a wicker basket and propped it up with a small wooden stick. A rope was tied to the wooden stick. As soon as the birds came down to peck the grains of wheat, they would slowly enter under the wicker basket.

At that time, pull the rope, the wooden stick will fall, and the wicker basket will be buckled, and the bird will become a turtle in the urn.

The only trouble is that no one knows how long it will take for the birds in this book to fly down from the trees.

"Auntie, can we really catch sparrows like this?"

Ten minutes later, Song Mingshu was the first to express his doubts.

Song Juan didn't know what to do.

However, as the initiator of catching sparrows, it was impossible for Song Juan to slap herself in the face.

"Definitely!"

Song Juan gave an affirmative answer without thinking.

"These birds are very stupid. As long as they find rice grains on the ground, they will definitely take the bait."

"But when will they find the rice grains on the ground?"

"Well, I don't know!"

How did Song Juan know this?

I have only seen this way of catching birds in books before.

The book doesn't say when the birds will come down to eat, so we can only wait for this matter.

The ancestors have said that they can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

Song Juan was still very patient.

However, Song Mingshu was impatient.

Then, Song Mingwen and Song Mingwu lost their patience.

In the end, even Qu Xiaofu lost her patience.

"Juan'er, why don't you forget it!"

Qu Xiaofu patted Song Juan's arm lightly, signaling her not to waste her efforts in vain.

After such a long time, more than an hour, none of the sparrows flew down from the tree. This plan of catching sparrows is [-]% impossible.

"I do not believe!"

"I got into a fight with these sparrows today!"

Song Juan is also tempered.

In her bones, she also refused to admit defeat easily.

The person in the book can catch sparrows, but she doesn't believe she can't.

You know, she is also a lucky person.

Soon, Qu Xiaofu left with her three sons.

Song Juan hid in the corner by herself, observing the sparrows on the tree from time to time, but unfortunately, the sparrows kept chirping as if they knew the grains of wheat below were bait, but they still refused to fly down from the tree.

Until Li Guilan came back, Song Juan did not see a single sparrow flying down.

For a whole morning, I didn't gain anything, and I was blind for nothing.

When Li Guilan came back and saw the battle outside, she instantly understood what Song Juan was doing all morning.

"Mom, is there a car passing by on the road?"

Seeing Li Guilan come back, Song Juan naturally had to ask.

Li Guilan shook her head and said, "No."

"Oh!"

Song Juan responded and stopped talking.

While Li Guilan was making lunch, Song Juan was still guarding her trap outside.

It was also at this time that the sparrows on the tree finally flew down and began to peck at the wheat grains and wheat bran on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Song Juan was excited.

After waiting for so long, it finally pays off!

It's a pity that these sparrows are very timid. They have been moving around the periphery of the wicker basket, and they have always refused to enter the area under the wicker basket.

"Hurry up, little ones, there are so many wheat grains below, you should rush forward!"

Song Juan muttered softly.

"Man dies for money, and birds die for food. Why doesn't the experience of our ancestors work?"

Song Juan was a little angry.

Still, she was waiting.

Now that the sparrow has already flown down, it is inevitable to enter the trap.

"be patient!"

"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, I have patience!"

Song Juan kept cheering herself up.

At this time, Song Laifu came back.

And with Song Laifu's return, those sparrows jumping around the wicker basket flew straight into the sky and returned to the sycamore tree.

"I……"

Song Juan looked depressed, is this a failure?

From her point of view, it was because Dad didn't come back at this time, and after a few more minutes, maybe a sparrow would enter the area under the wicker basket.

However, this world makes no assumptions.

The sparrow that was startled by Song Laifu flew away, and Song Juan could only start the second round of waiting.

"As long as I'm patient, you little things are destined to be on my plate!"

At this time, Song Juan really got into a fight with these sparrows.
