Chapter 258
After entering the winter, those students who are going to Beijing for the exam are also preparing to go to the capital.The master in the village said that the second elder brother Qiusong's foundation is still relatively shallow, so there is no need to go to Chunwei this time. He will be sent to the state school to hone for three years, and after three years, he will be fully prepared before taking the Chunwei exam.

After this year is over, Qiu Song will go to the state school to study.

The weather in this winter is always dense fog, and the cold and damp wind blows in gusts, making people's teeth chatter in the early morning.With such a cold method, those chickens and ducks were all nested in the cage and refused to come out of the hole.Not only that, but everyone cuddled tightly together to keep each other warm.

Qiu Lin has always been afraid of the cold, but after letting Xia Yan prescribe a few doses of traditional Chinese medicine, he is not as afraid of the cold as before. In this winter, he will not wrap himself like a zongzi.At this moment, she had just finished her meal, and she came to the yard with a shauke.Shau ​​Kei contains corn grains, which are eaten by chickens and ducks.

The chicken pens where the chickens and ducks are kept are surrounded by a circle of straw, which protects the chickens and ducks from the cold and prevents the cold wind from directly pouring into the chicken pens.It was so cold that day, and the chickens and ducks saw Qiulin coming over with a shaukei, and knew that it was filled with food.But at this moment, no one was moving. They were no different from those in the past when they saw the shaukei and swarmed over, creaking and begging Qiulin for food.Instead, they curled up and snuggled together, their necks shrunk, and their heads no longer moved as flexibly as before.

Seeing this, Qiulin thought to himself, it seemed that he had to move the chicken coop into the house, otherwise the chickens and ducks would be frozen outside, and sooner or later they would get sick from the cold.

But this time she still drove the chickens and ducks out of the chicken pen. She came here now not only to eat them, but also to pick up eggs.After driving out all the chickens and ducks, the chickens and ducks began to peck at the corn grains scattered on the ground.After eating, they hopped to the bottom of the eaves one by one, and put their heads in the chicken feathers under their necks, probably thinking that this would keep them warm.

Qiulin didn't care about them, and put the eggs he took out into the basket.I counted the number again, and after I was done, I took a closer look at the eggs in the cage, but there were still missing eggs. I didn't see them after a week of scanning, and then I got out of the chicken coop with the heavy basket.

As soon as she stood up straight, she felt a burst of hot air hitting her exposed neck.Qiu Lin jumped away in fright, and in the misty white mist, he saw a handsome young man in a big snow-white padded jacket in the yard.Qiulin took two deep breaths before calming down. "Brother Shen Qing, why are you here?"

Seeing Shen Qing's indifferent expression, Qiu Lin showed a blushing expression, when did Shen Qing come here, could it be that she came here when she was picking up eggs?Standing silently outside the chicken pen like this, like a sculpture.

Shen Qing's complexion turned pale, it was obvious that he was so cold all the way here.Since at this moment, there is a gentle smile on his face, which is amiable.He didn't speak, just looked at Qiulin like that, the smile on his face didn't froze.

Qiu Lin looked at him suspiciously, what's wrong with Brother Shen Qing, he doesn't answer no matter how you ask him, isn't that too strange?Qiulin didn't have to worry about the chickens and ducks shivering from the cold coming over to peck the egg shells, so he put them on the ground.Originally, he wanted to touch Shen Qing's forehead with his hands, but only then did he realize that he had just cleaned the chicken coop and picked up eggs, so this hand had to be washed.She blushed, picked up the basket again and ran into the stove.

Hey, her hands were frizzy without even washing them, and she went over to touch Brother Shen Qing's forehead, and her hands were still stained with chicken manure!Brother Shen Qing loves to be clean the most, if chicken manure is applied to his face, Qiu Lin really dare not imagine such a scene!Fortunately, I reacted.

Hot water was burning in the top irrigation, and Qiulin asked Qiuyue, the eldest sister who was cooking, to scoop out water for herself, then mixed cold water into the wooden basin, and washed her hands thoroughly. She sniffed again to make sure There was no smell of chicken manure on his body, so he ran back into the yard again.

I saw that Shen Qing was still stuck in place like a log, his expression changed slightly, the gentle smile was replaced by unexplained melancholy.Qiu Lin didn't know, so she walked over and waved her hand in front of Shen Qing's eyes.Puzzled: "Brother Shen Qing, what's wrong with you today, why do you look so strange?"

Qiulin felt that Shen Qing's expression was stupid, he didn't respond to his questions, and he came to look for her early in the morning, so anxious, coupled with such a blank expression, Qiulin thought It doesn't work if you don't think about it.

Only then did Shen Qing come back to his senses, he looked towards the stove house that was slowly emitting smoke, and said softly: "Qiu Lin, let's go for a walk among the fields."

Uh, looking up at Shen Qing's expression, Qiu Lin had already been thinking about it, could it be that Shen Qing's elder brother had encountered some trouble?One must know that elder brother Shen Qing never showed a slightly worried look in front of her.Qiu Lin nodded obediently, and looked into the room again, "Okay, Brother Shen Qing, wait a moment, I'll go and talk to Mother and the others." In case they still don't know how this well-behaved person in the room turned in a blink of an eye gone.

Qiulin Jinzhaowu told his mother to the eldest sister that Mrs. Han was worried about the cold outside, so she insisted on letting Qiulin put on another cloak before going out.Qiulin had no choice but to enter the house and put on a cloak before going out.

This cloak is made of rabbit skin. After skinning the rabbit that was brought back from the forest, he did not throw it away. Instead, he went to the town to find a tailor to sew it into a cloak.There are not many rabbit furs, so Qiulin and Qiuyue each have one piece.This cloak made of rabbit fur is soft to the touch, very comfortable to touch, and very warm in winter. Qiulin likes it very much, and is reluctant to wear it on weekdays.

Shen Qing stood in the courtyard of Qiulin's house thoughtfully, the wind could not stop hearing the sound of Qiu He's reading, the third brother of Qiulin's.Shen Qing looked up at the smoke rising from the green brick courtyard, feeling mixed feelings in his heart for a moment.Seeing Qiulin in a cloak jumping out of the main room like a rabbit, his eyes lit up, and his expression was filled with surprise.

Now Qiulin is going to be ten years old, her figure has been stretched a lot, she has a bit of her daughter's charm, her facial features are outstanding, her skin is pink and fair, but her appearance has not yet grown, if she is fifteen or sixteen years old, I don't know What a pretty girl she grew up to be.As he thought this way, he saw Qiulin approaching slowly like an elegant and white lotus flower, his heart was beating like a drum, and his dimples were slightly red.

But when he thought of leaving later, Shen Qing's heart beat like a drum, as if a ladle of cold water had been poured on it, and the flame that had sprung up in his heart was extinguished by the fire.After this trip, he might be able to come back in half a year, maybe a few years, maybe 20 years... Shen Qing forced himself not to think about it anymore, he felt that he didn't have the courage to leave anymore.
