Candide in Chronology is on strike

The meal was not finished in the end, and the two of them paid no attention to the follow-up of He Yuan and Tang Ying. They were also very busy and would not go to He Yuan to ask about this matter unless the other party took the initiative to find them and mentioned it. thing.

Winter begins much earlier in Xiang'an City than in Yongxin County. At the end of September, the weather starts to turn cold, so you can wear cotton-padded clothes.

In early October, it started to snow. A light snowfall covered the entire city with a white coat.

But when the sun came out at noon, there was a sound of ticking outside, which was the sound of snow melting and dripping. Soon, except for the corners, all the snow melted away.

The snow has melted, but the temperature has also dropped. It feels cold everywhere. I can't stand it. I really can't stand it. In order to save the charcoal fire, I caught a cold and caught a cold. It's not worth it. So, Qin Xi went home early A stove was built to warm the fire.

The two brothers and sisters saved a lot of carbon and briquettes. After all, they didn't eat at home at noon. The school cafeteria could provide them with lunch, which was more economical than some people's homes.

They usually attend classes at school, and only stay at home to warm themselves by the fire when they come back in the evening and during holidays. Compared with those families with elderly and children at home who keep the fire burning at home, they already use less.

Qin Xi now has income from translation fees and has a lot of money. Whenever he sees someone selling carbon or firewood at the farmer's market, he will buy some.

This is a city. If it gets really cold, it's not like in a village where you can go into the mountains to cut firewood at any time.

Besides, she didn’t have much firewood at home, and she was uneasy if she didn’t save enough. When she was in Chenhui Village, she and her elder brother would stock up on firewood for the winter. Now that they were in the city, Even more so, she felt uneasy because she didn't have enough things at home. She wanted to move all the inexpensive but durable things sold at the farmer's market back home.

Fortunately, her brother was able to persuade her, and the goods he stocked were not too exaggerated, but there were a lot of things piled up in the corners of the living room, as well as under the bed.

This year's snow fell extremely early and abundantly. The light snowfall before could only be regarded as an appetizer, a process of accumulating power before starting to use the big move later.

Five days later, early in the morning, the sky was already dark, and the wall clock at home also showed that the time had reached 7:30 in the morning. As soon as the door of the room was opened, the cold wind whizzed directly by, making people shiver with cold. That little bit of sleepiness was completely gone, blown away by the cold wind.

Today it was her turn to get up early in the morning to boil water and wash herself. Yesterday it was her brother, and the day before yesterday it was Qin Qing. The three brothers and sisters came one by one each day, so no one could hide.

On such a cold day, Qin Xi didn't want to stay outside for too long. As soon as he closed the door and his own room, he started to light a fire in the house.

She closed her room door to prevent the choking smoke from entering her room.

First use pine needle leaves to ignite the coal, pour it into the coal stove, and put a honeycomb briquette on top of the black coal. The lid of the coal stove should be opened to ventilate it. Put a pot of hot water on it and boil it slowly. Then open the window next to the door. So that the choking smoke in the house could escape, she would go back inside and close the door and leave it alone.

As the weather gets colder, the school's class time is also adjusted. Class starts at 8:30 in the morning, the lunch break is compressed by one hour, and the school dismissal time in the evening is advanced by one hour.

It was getting late today, but because it was Saturday, there were no classes, so Qin Xi lay back down again.

In the warm bed, the sleepiness that had been driven away before came back again, and she fell asleep without realizing it. When she woke up again, it was already more than an hour later. Qin Qing and Qin Jiang had almost made breakfast. . What Qin Xi is most satisfied with about his family members is that they are not a spoiler and won't wake people up in the morning when nothing happens.

Of course, she herself is like this too. What bothers her the most in the early morning is people making noises, not letting her sleep, and pushing others too hard.

"I'm up. I've left some hot water for you in the pot. Go and pour it yourself. After washing your face, you'll be ready to have breakfast."

After Qin Xi washed up, she took Qin Qing directly to the toilet. She had been holding it in all night, and she couldn't bear it anymore.

The corridor was icy and slippery. The two of them walked very carefully. In addition, a lot of snow fell on the corridor near the outside. It looked very even. It was about eight or nine centimeters thick. It was obvious that , which fell last night.

They walked down the stairs cautiously while holding on to the railing. When they saw the thick layer of snow outside, they were both shocked. They stepped on it and half their calves were buried directly in it.

The two of them had nothing to do, so you supported me and I supported you, and went to the toilet. After returning, I immediately told Qin Jiang about it.

In the morning, the three of them drank yellow rice porridge, paired with spicy cabbage pickled by Qinxi, which was very delicious.

Many people stayed at home today. The snow outside was too thick, which seriously affected everyone's travel. Therefore, many people spontaneously went downstairs with shovels to shovel the snow.

Qin Jiang is a strong young man, so naturally he cannot escape. He is also the main force of the team below, and he works quickly and beautifully.

Mrs. Yu, who lived on the first floor, put on all the clothes she could wear, and opened the window shivering: "You guys, come here and clean up the snow in front of my house. "

"There is so much snow and there is a layer of ice on the road outside. My old man is afraid to go out."

In the winter, there would be a urine bucket in her room for convenience. She didn't dare to go out easily in the winter for fear of falling. After all, she was old and her old bones were not prone to falling.

But this kind of behavior is very disgusting to my daughter-in-law, because the smell of the urine bucket is so strong that it will hit my eyes if I get too close.

Although this smell did not spread outside, the presence of such dirty things in this home would offend the mistress of the home, Old Woman Yu, a seventy-year-old man who was scolded by his daughter-in-law to behave like a grandson. It seems that I don’t even dare to let go of a fart, evil people will be punished by evil people!

But she was unwilling to give up the urine bucket and go back and forth between her home and the public toilet every day. It was too difficult for her to leave. As an old woman in the middle of winter, how could she have the strength?

She cherishes her life very much. She has seen too many cases of old people falling down in winter and eventually dying of pain or medical treatment. Of course she will pay special attention to it.

If her daughter-in-law hadn't allowed her to put the commode in her room, she wouldn't have even left the house this winter.
