Sure enough, looking at Chen Yubin who walked out with a drooping head, Xiaoxi knew that his persuasion had failed.

Chen Yubin clenched his fists and smashed it hard on his leg, "Oh, grandpa is so old-fashioned. I told him that Teacher Zhao's house has been installed again, and they are not afraid. Moreover, there has been no one here to check this week, which is just a lie. He insisted on not believing it and disagreeing to install the "pot lid". Oh, I'm so angry."

Xiaoxi looked at his gritting teeth and pouting and complaining, which was very funny. If he couldn't watch it, he couldn't watch it. As for that, Xiaoxi now is purely a person who stands and talks without a headache. She doesn't care about watching these TV series now, but Chen Yubin hasn't watched it, all of it is rare.

She didn't think about it. When she was hiding the "pot lid", she would have been looking forward to Grandpa Chen installing the "pot lid" again every week after holiday. She wanted to find that she was not at ease, and she also wanted Chen Yubin to complain about Grandpa Chen's caution like this.

Time passes quickly, and winter comes quietly. The winter in the south is not as rough as in the north, but is cold and warm, but mixed with a domineering smell.

Xiaoxi stopped writing helplessly, reached his frozen right hand under his mouth, took a few breaths of hot air, and thawed it. When his fingers became more flexible, he started writing again. The cold book paper made the meat pad feel so painful.

Qingpu is a local dialect here, which describes pain level, which means special pain.

Although I was wearing cotton shoes, I couldn't move while sitting. At this moment, the heat was gone and my feet were frozen. Xiaoxi stepped on his left foot and then on his right foot. He couldn't feel the pain anymore. He had to stomp his feet gently so that his feet would not be as stiff as the cold.

It was so cold that Xiaoxi had to speed up writing, then quickly finished writing and threw it aside, took out a book and put both hands in his pocket, occasionally flipping through the pages of the book. The right hand in the pocket was frozen, thinking that it was time to buy a pair of gloves. To facilitate writing, he should buy a glove that missed his fingers...

"Lingling..." The bell ringing of the get out of class pulled back Xiaoxi's empty thoughts, "Hey~ Finally the get out of class is over, Xiaojuan, are you going out for a walk?" Xiaoxi stretched and twisted his stiff joints. Because there was no air conditioner or heating in the classroom, all the doors and windows of the classroom were closed tightly to keep warm, so the air was not circulating. There were so many people sitting inside, and the smell in all the classrooms was not very good. Xiaoxi wanted to go out for some breath. Moreover, his feet were frozen, so he was just going out for a walk and activities.

Originally, the classroom was cold enough, and it must be even colder outside. Zhao Juan quickly shook her head, "No, no, I won't go out, go." At least the classroom was covered with a little heat. After saying that, Zhao Juan turned her head back and retracted her neck back into her collar.

Seeing that she really didn't want to go out, Xiaoxi stopped holding it, "Okay, I'll go out for a while and have some breath." He picked up the thermos on the table and walked out. When he passed by Chen Yubin's seat, he had already disappeared. He probably had gone out to play. The boy couldn't sit still, no matter how cold or hot the weather was. The thermos on his table were gone, and Xiaoxi took his cup away.

These two thermoses were bought when I was shopping with Chen’s mother last year. I was thinking about taking hot water in winter.

Anyway, there were ten minutes between classes, Xiaoxi slowly swayed back to the dormitory and took out the key and opened the door. Because it was a mixed dormitory, all classes chose a dormitory leader to manage their class discipline, and each dormitory leader also had a key to the dormitory door. Xiaoxi asked for the key from Wang Lingling (door director) just when he left.

Take out the kettle from the bottom of the bed, Xiaoxi carefully aims the bottle mouth and fills the two thermos cups with hot water (there is no other place to provide hot water except for the boiler room at night). Because there are too many places to use hot water, nothing can be wasted.

It's too cold today. The faucets on the dishwasher behind the boiler room are basically frozen. The master will release hot water before boiling water, melting the ice and then putting tap water.

This rice is nothing to steam rice, but washing the lunch box after eating is a painful thing. It’s really too cold. There are few people in the dormitory who buy kettles, just like Xiaoxi and others. They use hot water to wash the lunch box, while others who don’t have hot water have to endure it with cold water. Girls are just fine, but no matter how they freeze their hands, they will clean their lunch box. However, some boys think that the water is too cold, so they roughly rinse the lunch box. The rice stains are not washed clean at all, and they will use it to steam the rice next time. In this case, Xiaoxi has seen it several times and is speechless. How did they eat it?

Although the three of them had a kettle, because they had dinner together, Chen Yubin's kettle was only used for washing his face and brushing his teeth in the morning and washing his feet at night. Because his feet were so frozen, all Xiaoxi ordered him to soak his feet every night, which was to prevent frostbite.

Moreover, his hot water is sometimes snatched by people in the dormitory, so he didn't let all the streams take out the hot water to share, but the condition is that he can give it to his buddies, but it must be under the premise that he has enough.

So, the two pots of hot water from Xiaoxi and Zhao Juan, except for their own washing, also included cleaning lunch boxes and a few cups of hot water three times a day. Although they were full every night, they were just enough.

After all, I was not prepared. When I went back during the holiday this week, I boiled a few pots of boiling water and put it in the warehouse in the space. Anyway, it would not change the temperature and deteriorate, so I would not shrink my hands and feet when I used water.

With two thermos cups, locked the door, the stream slowly rushed back. It took a few minutes to walk around the playground before going upstairs.

"Hey, I'll fill you with water." When I returned to the classroom, I saw that Chen Yubin was already sitting in his seat, so Xiaoxi put the cup filled with hot water on the table.

Unscrew the cup and pour a cup of hot water on the lid, "Xiaojuan, come, drink a cup of hot water."

"Hehe, I knew you were going back to the dormitory to pour hot water." As he said that, he carefully took the lid of the cup from Xiaoxi's hand, held it in his hand, and then started to drink it in small sips, "Well~ Xiaoxi is so delicious." He smiled very satisfied because of the small cup of hot water.

Because there were too many fruits in the space, Xiaoxi dried some dried fruits, and the lemon was soaked in water, so he also dried a lot of lemon slices. He added lemon slices, hawthorn slices, cherry slices and rock sugar to the thermos cup, which was of course delicious.

Xiaoxi and the others were undoubtedly happy. When I came home from school that day, as soon as I got on the intersection, I saw Grandpa Chen sitting outside the kitchen door, scrubbing Xiaoxi and the others' dirty clothes.

Because they only had two or three sets of clothes to change, all their dirty clothes had to be cleaned in time. However, even though it was a slack farm now, Grandpa Chen was busy every day and couldn't get idle. Only when Xiaoxi and the others were on Friday, Grandpa Chen could take out some free pots of hot water in the afternoon and wash the clothes of the two children and their old couple.

Why do I have to wait for Friday? It is because no matter how busy the family is, Grandpa Chen is at home on Friday afternoon. He doesn't want his two children to go home, and finds that the door is locked at home and no one is present.

Although it is very cold in winter, the clothes you washed on Friday are exposed to the sun for two days, and you must wear them when you leave Zhou Tian.

Putting his schoolbag on a large table, Xiaoxi went back to his sleeping house and quickly poured his grandfather's thermos cup over hot water. Grandpa Chen also had a thermos cup, which was an old object. I don't know how many years it had been used. A lot of the naughty blue paint outside was rubbed off, and the tea stains on the inner liner could not be brushed off. Although it was an old object, it was still very thermally insulated after so many years. The quality of the things at that time was good.

"Grandpa, you have a rest first and drink some water." Xiaoxi took advantage of Grandpa Chen's hand to stretch his waist and quickly put his cup on his back.

Grandpa Chen wiped his wet hands on his pants casually, took the cup, smiled with relief, and praised: "Well, yes, Xiaoxi is so sensible and knows to be filial to Grandpa."

Xiaoxi sticks out his tail and raises his chin slightly as soon as he is praised, "That's right, I've always been very sensible." He looks like you praise me a few more words.

Grandpa Chen laughed and pointed at her helplessly and scolded, "You little boy, I can't help but praise you. If you praise you, your tail will be sticking out to the sky."

Chen Yubin also joined in the fun and said with a smile: "Sister, I'm ashamed." He also scratched his cheek with his index finger.

Looking at the happy smiling father and son, Xiaoxi pretended to be angry and said "hum" and said nothing, and ignored them.

After laughing and making fun, Grandpa Chen unscrewed the lid of the cup and drank "tea" "hiss".

Here they have three kinds of sauerkraut, one is made of shredded pickled, one is soaked, and the other is to break the whole vegetable leaves and blanch them in hot water. The vegetable leaves are about 70% ripe. Take them up one leaf and put them into the jar, then pour the sour water in, flood the vegetable leaves, find a smooth stone, clean them, and press them on the vegetable leaves.

After pickling for about ten days, the pickled cabbage will be considered to be pickled. You can just do it like this. When you want to eat it, pick it up and cut it and stir-fry it. However, they chose another storage method.

Snap out the whole piece and dry it in the sun for two days, dry the water completely, and the sauerkraut becomes dried sour vegetables. This will last for a long time. When eating, soak it in water, and the taste is very special.

Because there was no tea or something at home, the sour dried vegetables became Grandpa Chen’s “tea”. I took out a sour dried vegetables, broke them into sections, threw them into a thermos cup, poured them with boiling water, and soaked them in two or three minutes.

Xiaoxi likes this taste very much. It is sour, different from the sourness of vinegar and the sourness of lemon, and it is also different from the sourness of sauerkraut. This sourness is light and mixed with some other indescribable flavors. In short, it is very delicious.

A lot of smuggled into the space. Due to the habits developed in the previous life, Xiaoxi held a thermos cup all year round, just one day of "lemon" tea and one day of "sauerkraut" tea.

After drinking two sips of hot water, Grandpa Chen remembered, twisted the lid of the cup and asked the siblings beside him: "Xiaoxi, Binbin, are you hungry? I'm going to heat it up for you?"
