Rebirth Farmer Yaomei

Chapter 197 Galloping
Lu Tieshi pulled out the horse, put Ning Wan in front of him, and wrapped her in his cloak, "It's cold outside, don't blow the wind."

Ning Wan didn't dare, she forced her head out of the cloak, "It's my first time riding a horse, so I have to look outside!" But Tie Shi covered her face again with a big hand, "The wind is very windy when the horse runs. Big one, when the weather gets warmer, I will take you on a horseback ride and look around!"

The feeling of galloping on a horse is really like flying through the clouds and fog. Ning Wan tried her best to open the cloak in front of her eyes, and saw the houses, fields, and trees on the roadside receding. Black dot, he laughed happily.

Lu Tieshi also laughed and asked her, "Do you like riding horses?"

"I like it! I like it so much!"

They arrived in front of the gate of Hutai County in just over a moment, and the two of them couldn't ride together anymore, so Lu Tieshi jumped off and led the horse and walked, while Ning Wan sat on the tall horse and looked at the familiar scenery in Hutai County. It was quite different, even the Drum Tower, which was considered very tall in the past, felt smaller than before, not to mention the rows of paved houses around it, and even the weaving flow of people was completely under her overlooking.

Suddenly, she saw Gao Jun standing on the side of the road looking up at her, his eyes were full of surprise and envy, he cast a contemptuous glance and then turned his head away.Ning Wan hates Gao Jun's self-righteous pity the most, but he always thinks how pitiful he is and expects him to comfort him.Now I am riding on a tall horse, looking at him wandering alone in the street, I feel that he is very pitiful!

Ning Wan smiled smugly, and suddenly remembered why Gao Jun stayed in Hutai County but didn't go home for the New Year, but she only thought about it for a while before throwing it aside, so what does it matter to her?
There were people coming and going in front of Dejufeng Gate, Lu Tieshi led his horse and went in through the back door, and saw four big round icicles in the yard, Ning Wan laughed all of a sudden, "How did I forget?" , we should also freeze a few pieces of ice to make ice lanterns!"

Only then did Lu Tieshi realize that the ice was for making ice lanterns, so he said, "Then we'll make it when we go back!"

"Well, we also make four, put two in front of the mother-in-law's house, and two in front of our house, it looks very beautiful with candles!"

As soon as they entered the door, a waiter had already seen them. He stepped forward to pick up the horse and said with a smile: "My wife is playing cards with Mrs. Song and Mrs. Yang!"

Ning Wan and Tie Shi entered the room and saw that they were really having fun, Yu Shi was startled when she saw her young daughter enter the door, "Grandma, why did you come back home on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month!" It's aunt, but mother-in-law always has some special meaning in calling her like this. At this time, Mrs. Yu actually disapproved of Yaonu's sudden return to her mother's house during the festival.

Lu Tieshi followed behind, first smiled and said hello, and then said: "Mother-in-law, my mother asked us to go out for a stroll to digest food, so I brought Wan'er to the county town, and came in to have a look."

Ning Wan had Iron Stone to support her, so she smiled triumphantly and said: "Mother, my mother-in-law really asked me to go out for a stroll, so you don't have to talk about me anymore!" Mrs. Song, "We just came here for a stroll in our free time, we're leaving now, keep playing!"

Lu Tieshi backed out, "I'll talk to my father-in-law." The room was always full of women, if he stayed, everyone would feel uncomfortable, and the game would be impossible.

Everyone really continued to play cards. At this moment, Mother was relieved and held the cards and smiled, "The journey of more than ten miles is not too troublesome. I must come back and do something!" The tone was full of complaints, but everyone could clearly hear her happy.

Ning Wan looked at the cards in her hand, took out one and handed it out for her, and said with a smile: "I usually think it's far away, but in fact it only takes a quarter of an hour to ride a horse, so I came here to help my mother play a few cards." Let's go again." Mother didn't know how to play cards in the past, but she learned slowly from her neighbors in Hutai County, and now she is not very good at playing cards, usually she loses more than she wins, but now Ning Wan is standing behind her to help her Dealing the cards, he won a few hands in a row.

Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Song said: "It's amazing, your aunt played cards well, and we lost everything in a while and couldn't go home!"

Ning Wan just laughed, "Feng Shui has to take turns, usually you only win my mother, so I'm not allowed to win back!"

"Your mother is playing well now, and she doesn't lose much," Mrs. Song said, "What's more, your family is still afraid of losing such a small amount of money?" In fact, they can only play together at this time all year round. , and the winning or losing of each hand is only a few dollars, even if you keep losing in a day, you can't lose much.

Just as I was talking, Shi Shi came in with a handful of money, "Mother, my father asked me to bring it, saying that it was for the things in the shop in front of me, mother, don't worry, he is watching, and asked if the money is enough for me to go again." Take it!" Then she ran to Ning Wan and said affectionately, "Sister, you're back!"

The two siblings here were talking, while the two Yang and Song were joking with Mrs. Yu, "Your shopkeeper Ning is afraid that you won't be enough to lose. Don't you know that you won't be able to put the wins in your money box long ago!"

Everyone was chatting and playing cards with laughter. Ning Wan stood up after sitting for a while, but held them down and refused to send them off. "I'll go to the front to see dad first, and then I left without asking Tie Shi to come over to say goodbye. After all, I will be back in two or three days. I'll give you New Year's greetings at that time." In fact, she went back to her natal home once before she left the county, so it really didn't take a few days.

Everyone thought the same, so they smiled and said: "You just go, see you again in two days."

Ning Wan took the stone and went to the front to say hello to her father, Xiao Liu and the shopkeepers, and the two rode back.

After walking halfway, it was snowing from the sky, flakes of snowflakes fluttered down, and the distant mountains and the ground soon became white. Ning Wan looked at the snow falling on her body and smiled, "This snow is falling!" It's really big!"

Lu Tieshi slowed down early, "I'm afraid the snow will not stop for a day or two."

"Heavy snow is good, auspicious snow heralds a good year!" During the Chinese New Year in Liaodong, everyone likes heavy snowfall. The heavy snow falls on the fields and will slowly melt in the spring of next year. It is nourishing the fertile black soil and food will grow. Well done.Ning Wan was born in a farming family, although she no longer farms, but whenever there is auspicious snow and spring rain, she is very happy.At this time, after finishing speaking, it suddenly occurred to me that this snow may not be good for others. For example, Tie Shi has always been concerned about the military situation. It will be inconvenient for the road to be difficult in heavy snow, so he changed his words and said: "Such heavy snow may not last long. Maybe it will stop soon."

How could Lu Tieshi not know Wan'er's kindness?He patted her and said: "It doesn't matter, you can go to the official road not far from home, there will always be people sweeping the snow there, so it's not too difficult."

Ning Wan just smiled, and became more and more happy seeing the heavy snow all over the sky, "I like snow the most, especially the heavy snow. When I was young, I would build snowmen and sparrows, and when I grew up, I would make tea with snow..."

Lu Tieshi didn't like snow at first. When it snowed, the roads were hard to walk, and the iron armor was unbearably cold. Moreover, the Yi people would go south to plunder whenever they lost their cattle and sheep due to heavy snow... But now I heard Wan'er talking about the time when it snowed with a smile. I couldn't help laughing at the funny story, "Then we will all do it when we go back!"

Back at Lu's old house, Tie Shi went to tie the horse, Ning Wan entered the yard first, but there was no sound inside, Bai came out and whispered: "Madam is still resting."

At this time Tie Shi also came over, and the two of them built a snowman in the yard without entering the upper room. It turned out that the snow had already fallen two inches thick in just this moment!As long as there is heavy snow, snowmen are very easy to build. The two of them piled up into two in a while, and placed them on the left and right in front of the gate, like a door god. Ning Wan found charcoal to make eyes for them. The mouth became more and more round and naive.

Tie Shi pulled her, "Hurry up and go back to the house to warm up for a while, look at the snow on your body, you will soon become a snowman!"

Ning Wan said, "Haven't you heard that it's not cold when it's snowing? It's not cold at all, and I still feel hot!" Then she said: "The snowman is ready, let's freeze the ice lamp!"

Lu Tieshi took out the copper basin, and Ning Wan hurriedly stopped him, "It can be seen that you have never done this before. The water will swell when it freezes into ice, and the basin will be damaged. You need to find old wooden basins and barrels to make." For a while, I found two old wooden barrels, filled them with water, and left a column with a bamboo tube in the middle to put candles in the future.

One afternoon passed, and it was time to light the lamps. The two changed their clothes, and when they entered the main room, her mother-in-law was already up. Mrs. Bai brought the food, and after the meal, she talked with her about the trip to Hutai County. Ning Wan also took out a deck of cards, which she bought at a grocery store when she came out of her mother's house, "I saw my mother and the others playing cards and wanted to play, why don't the three of us start a game too."

Ning Wan played cards very well, much better than her mother-in-law and Tie Shi, but she always lost more than she won. They agreed before playing cards that they would not win money, and those who lost would tell a joke.So she even told a few jokes, which made both her mother-in-law and Tie Shi laugh.

Tie Shiyuan didn't know how to tell jokes, so he came up with a few now, and then her mother-in-law drove the ducks to the shelves and was forced to tell jokes.After such a commotion, the feeling at home immediately changed again.

At this time, Mrs. Bai brought tea in again, and the mother-in-law asked, "Has the snow outside stopped?"

Bai said, "Not only did it not stop, but it got bigger and bigger."

The smile on the mother-in-law's face gradually faded, she put down the card and said, "Let's go out and have a look."

Ning Wan helped her put on a big cloak and went out, only to see the boundless darkness outside the room, only a little light from the window could see snowflakes the size of goose feathers falling silently, The snow was even heavier than before.Ning Wan understood that her mother-in-law was worried that Anpingwei's car to pick up everyone for the New Year would be blocked by heavy snow tomorrow, so she smiled and said: "Although the snow is heavy, the heavier it is, the less it will last, and Tie Shi said that there are special roads for the official road. The people who cleaned it, I'm afraid they are sweeping the snow right now!"

The mother-in-law didn't have much knowledge, so she believed it a little bit, "This is good." After watching it for a while, she said: "Let's all go to bed early, and we have to watch the new year tomorrow."
