"Grandma, please go to bed first. I peeled the chestnuts and let them go out to dry tomorrow morning." The light in the house was very dark, almost as bright as the moonlight in the yard outside the house.

However, for Xiaofang, such light is already bright enough.

After all, she never sews clothes in broad daylight and never sews at night, so she doesn't need to thread a needle. However, she doesn't need too bright light.

A five-tile energy-saving lamp is hanging in the center of the living room. The light scattered on all sides. Some of the light is blocked by the wall. Some of the light pours from the narrow door into the dark rooms with open doors. Some of the light runs from the living room to the yard, blending with the moonlight outside to form an integral part.

"Xiaofang, let's peel it tomorrow. It's ten o'clock, so get off early." Grandma was already lying on the bed.

Xiaofang leaned against grandma's door frame, revealing her white teeth, and looked at grandma with a smile and said, "Grandma, it's okay, you go to bed first, I'll peel it in half an hour."

"Oh, you kid, always disobeys. You always don't listen when you ask you to go to bed early." Grandma muttered, lay down, covered her with a thick quilt, and faced the wall with a little angry, "Close the door, it's too bright, I can't sleep."

"Okay, grandma, you go to bed early. I will have a burnt rice tea tomorrow morning. Remember to cook it for me."

"I understand. You have said it five or six times today. You are so long-winded at such a young age. Who dares to ask you in the future? Go and peel your chestnuts quickly, finish peeling them early, go to bed early, do you know?"

"I understand, I understand." Xiaofang said with a smile, stretched out her hand and gently brought it to the door.

Although the movement was very light, the wooden door still made a creaking sound.

The sound was particularly loud in this quiet late night.

Xiaofang was slightly frightened, widened her eyes, and used a little force to raise the wooden door a little, and then continued to carry it back.

In this way, the lower edge of the wooden door no longer rubs against the threshold, and the sound is gone.

I brought it to the door and turned around and looked at half a basket of chestnuts, with a little big head.

It's impossible to peel these chestnuts in half an hour.

However, she must finish peeling it tonight.

Because it’s not long before the winter solstice, you have to make some pastries or glutinous rice cakes at that time.

Although the family is not rich, Xiaofang always prepares a lot of delicious food on every festival.

She is not trying to show off, she just wants her grandmother to eat more delicious food. At the same time, she also allows her grandmother, who has worked hard for more than ten years, to speak toughly in front of an old lady of the same age.

Every time after the holidays, there are still a lot of delicious food left at home, and then grandma will bring some of her old friends to the house to cook oil tea.

Every time, everyone sat together and ate the delicious food made by her granddaughter, everyone would always praise her old age.

Many people say that she was bitter first and then sweet, and raised such a good granddaughter.

Every time I get to this stage, my grandma always smiles like a flower.

This is the upcoming winter solstice, Xiaofang still wants to make some rice dumplings.

Originally, she planned to make rice dumplings on October 15th, because she had just picked a lot of wild chestnuts from the mountains back. However, when she and grandma thought that she was making rice dumplings on the fifth day of the fifth day and the fifteenth day of the seventh day of the seventh day, she seemed a little tired of making rice dumplings on October 15th.

Therefore, there was no rice dumplings on October 15th, so these mountain chestnuts were forgotten in the utility room.

In this way, these undried mountain chestnuts have become a little moldy after being stored for a while.

Fortunately, the shell is a bit moldy. As long as the shell is peeled off, washed and dried, it should still be similar to the fresh one.

So, she must peel and wash these chestnuts as soon as possible, and then put them in the sun early tomorrow morning.

If she only peeled it tomorrow, it would delay her from working in the mountains, so she could only stay up late to work overtime.

After turning off the TV, Xiaofang sat back on the small stool and continued to peel chestnuts.

The night outside the yard seemed very long, and there were no chickens and ducks in the quiet yard, and only a few murmurs came from the chicken coop from time to time.

The moonlight climbed over the wall and spread gently in the spacious courtyard, just like a young man who was willing to ride on the cold wind and dark night to quietly lie on the wall and look at the girl he liked from a distance.

Looking at the wall, Xiaofang smiled bitterly and thought to herself, as long as a girl like her, no one lies on the wall and looks at her, probably not even one who has a good impression of her.

The family is too poor, not only does not have decent furniture, but also has to support an elderly grandma. This is not a good deal for ordinary boys in the mountains. This is one of the reasons.

She is too ordinary. Although she loves beauty, she has no capital to become beauty. Her hair is native black and slightly curly long hair. Except at night, whether when she comes back from the ground or from the mountains during the day, this long black hair is always covered with dead leaves and grass seeds.

Her clothes are all from previous years. As long as they are not so bad that they can't be worn, she always wears them.

Although she would put a pair of cheap pearl earrings on her ears and apply a little colored lip balm on her dry lips, these cheap things are really unfavorable than other girls' fashion outfits.

Although the mountain village is a mountain village, those girls who are only a few years older than her and who work outside always come home, they are always gorgeous and beautiful like female celebrities on TV.

Under such a strong contrast, Xiaofang looks like a lively village girl.

Who doesn't love beauty?

Although she is only eighteen years old, she also knows that everyone will love beauty and long for beautiful things. Therefore, no one will lie on her wall.

There is nothing else except moonlight.

However, Xiaofang didn't care about these empty things. She just wanted to peel the chestnuts of the mountain as soon as possible, then go to bed early, and go into the mountain early tomorrow to dig yam.

Yam is hard to find nowadays.

"Don't think about digging yam, boil more charcoal." Liu Qingshan brought Tan Dasha back to the village.

When Mrs. Tan saw that her son was back, she was a little excited at first, then suddenly grabbed Zhuzhi beside her and called Tan Dasha without saying a word: "You prodigal son, how many times have you told you not to fool around, you just don't listen."

"Mom, mom, I know I'm wrong." Tan Dasha was thrusting her butt hard by her mother, and she jumped up immediately in pain.

Liu Qingshan stood aside and smiled gloatingly, "Grandma Tan, use harder, otherwise he won't have a memory."

"Qingshan, you bad guy, why don't you hold my mother back." Tan Dasha didn't dare to fight back with her mother, so she could only ask for help from Liu Qingshan.
