Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 111 The first snow after the new year
Qin Huairu only brought Xiaodang with her today, while Banggeng stayed in the house and let her mother-in-law Jia Zhang take care of her.

It's not that she doesn't want to take him back to her parents' home, but Banggeng's leg is injured and walking is a problem.

After taking a car from the city to the township, the road back to the village is full of dirt roads, which are not easy to walk in the first place, but the weather has been good these two days, and the snow on the road has melted, making it even more muddy.

Qin Huairu would have to carry the stick with her all the way.

At this time, Qin Huairu adjusted the cloth bag on her arm vigorously, looked up and saw Xu Qing riding a bicycle out of the alley in a blink of an eye, sighed secretly, took Xiaodang with his right hand, and walked out slowly.

At this time, Xu Qing was already cycling among the crowd along the street, like a flexible loach.

Today's weather is exceptionally good, just like Xu Qing's happy mood.

On the one hand, Xu Qing was happy because his grandfather's condition was not too serious.

On the other hand, he was freed from his fifth sister because of his old classmate Ma Jiefang.

After confirming that he wanted to date her, Xu Qing naturally felt an indescribable joy in his heart.

How can love not be exciting and exciting?

Xu Qing rode his bicycle briskly and rang the bell from time to time to remind pedestrians in front of him.

However, when he encountered children running and playing on the street, Xu Qing had to hold the brakes and slow down the car.

There are a lot of people on the street. In a few days, various units and factories will start working. Of course, people should take advantage of these two days to relax.

Therefore, the street was busier and more lively than the previous few days, and there were more people.

The red slogans on the street walls, years ago, were nothing but inspiring and eye-catching.

But now, the conspicuous red color adds a sense of joy to the rich flavor of the Spring Festival.

After Xu Qing went to the hospital to deliver lunch to his grandfather and second father, he chatted with his grandfather for a while in the ward.

It wasn't until about three o'clock in the afternoon that I left the hospital and returned to the compound to have lunch at home.

Xu Damao had already left at this time. He was watching the third uncle and the second uncle playing chess in the front yard, while Shazhu and Yuyu went shopping.

While eating lunch, Xu Qing looked at grandma sitting on the kang and picking up the soles of her shoes. The things used to be at home.

It's just that after his mother was away, Xu Qing couldn't do needlework, so he kept putting it on hold.

Grandma is old, has poor eyesight, and does not have reading glasses, so she has to ask the juniors to help her with the sewing work.

The little girl and Xu Fengming lay next to grandma, waiting for the opportunity.

Xu Qing bit the meat roll in his hand, and secretly felt that in these two days, he had to go to the street to buy a pair of reading glasses for grandma, otherwise, if he went back to the countryside, what if there was no one around to help him?
Xu Aiguo took the rice soup he had just ordered from the kitchen and put it in front of his eldest brother, and then ran to Kang Yaner's side to watch grandma take out the insoles.

Children are very curious and can stare at things they find interesting for a long time, but once they get bored, they immediately turn their heads and walk away.

At this time, Xu Fengming became a little impatient. Seeing that the thread in grandma's hand was endless, he stretched out his hand and scratched his forehead, blinked his eyes and looked at it for a while, then turned around and slid down the kang, and ran to the courtyard to shake the diabolo.

The little girl propped her chin with both hands, lying on the kang, with small watery eyes, unlike her third brother, she lost patience early on with the needlework in grandma's hands.

On the contrary, watching the needle and thread shuttle quickly back and forth between grandma's calloused but very dexterous hands, the small eyes gradually brightened, and the interest seemed to be a little stronger.

After Xu Qing finished eating the meat rolls, he rubbed his chopsticks, drank the rice soup brought by his second brother, picked up the thermos again, poured some boiling water into the rice soup bowl, and swallowed all the rice grains left at the bottom of the bowl with his head up. After his stomach was full, he took the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen to clean them.

In the afternoon, when Xu Qing went to the hospital to deliver dinner and left, the sky was already pitch black.

Mainly, I spent a long time chatting with my grandpa and my second dad.

Xu Qing originally wanted to go to the state-run store to see if there were any reading glasses, but seeing that it was dark now, he was afraid that the state-run store might sell it, and it was probably closed at this point, so it was a waste of time to go there.

As for the supply and marketing cooperative, it usually closes later than the state-owned stores. Even if it is dark, if someone buys something, it can still be bought. But now during the Chinese New Year, it is closed naturally without even thinking about it.

Xu Qing had no choice but to go back by bicycle first, and we will talk about it tomorrow.

In the evening, there were more people in the room. The old lady from the same courtyard was helped by Sha Zhu and Yu Shui, and sat on the kang to chat with grandma again.

Usually there are not many people in the yard who can talk to her, so Sha Zhu ran more diligently. Sometimes Xu Qing would go there with three little ones, but it was always a generation behind, and there were very few topics to chat with.

The first aunt, the third aunt, and the second aunt also went to the old lady's room to chat with her and relieve her boredom.

But they also have their own lives to live, and it is impossible to go every day.

Now that grandma is here, the old lady is naturally happy to have someone to chat with.

The two old men sat together and chatted non-stop, as if they had something to say and endless things to talk about.

Xu Qing, his younger siblings, Shazhu and Yushui, were eating melon seeds while listening to their chats.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, the old lady went back to her own room with the help of Shazhu.

Xu Qing, his grandma and the three little ones were sent outside the house. At this time, the sky in the courtyard was as dark as ink, and no light could be seen.

Xu Qing frowned slightly, wondering if it was going to snow tomorrow.

Although it is not strange for it to snow after the New Year, Xu Qing does not expect it at all.

It will snow for a few days and the temperature will drop for a few days. Grandpa's illness is not completely cured. What should I do if I catch a cold again?

After letting his younger brothers and sisters help his grandma back to the house, Xu Qing turned towards the pile of briquettes outside the door, reached out and grabbed four briquettes, took them into the house, picked up the kettle, put it in the furnace cavity, and let it burn slowly at night. Keep it warm in case the temperature drops in the middle of the night.

However, God did not fulfill his wishes. At three or four o'clock in the middle of the night, snowflakes fell in the dark night sky.

Early in the morning, Xu Qing opened the door of the house, and saw that the freshly dried ground in the yard was covered by scattered snowflakes.

Although it was as thin as a sliced ​​white radish, it was still snowing.

Fortunately, the snow today is much lighter than the few light snowfalls before the Chinese New Year.

There is no need to worry too much, as soon as the sky clears and the sun comes out, it will disappear in just one day.

After having an early breakfast, Xu Qing carried his net bag and two cotton-padded jackets that his father had worn before, and rode his bicycle slowly toward the hospital.

In fact, he didn't want to ride a bicycle in the snow, but he was walking to the hospital and was afraid that the food would get cold, so he had to bite the bullet and slow down.

Although it is slower, at least it is faster than walking.
