Chapter 67 Snow

Grandpa Chen got up and paused, "Isn't you really hungry? If you are hungry, I will go and heat you up and make a fuss." Thinking that his two grandchildren had come back and walked so far, and they might be hungry, Grandpa Chen asked again with concern.

Knowing that grandpa cares about them, and for them, he is busy all over the place. He doesn't want him to work too hard, Xiaoxi quickly said, "Grandpa, we are really not hungry. If we are hungry, we will go to the heat ourselves. Don't you tell me, it's a matter of fire, haha..."

If the clothes weren't too thick this winter and the stream could not be twisted, otherwise the stream would have planned to take over the work of grandpa.

Seeing that they were really not hungry, Grandpa Chen twisted his body and continued to wash clothes. The sisters and brothers of Xiaoxi began to do their homework. For a moment, they could only hear the "waving" sound of Grandpa Chen's "waving" water while washing clothes and the "waving" sound of the two siblings writing, as well as the "gripping" sound of several old hens foraging on the edge of the yard. The surroundings were very peaceful.

Because winter is coming and the temperature drops, the food prepared by the family can be stored for several days. Everyone is used to saving money and finally gets a few pocket money. Of course, it is important to buy snacks, so now the income from selling sauce has dropped.

Although the sauce is fried with rapeseed oil, because there is some animal oil in the fish, all the sauce is condensed together. When eating, you have to scoop a spoonful and put it in the rice. After it is frozen for a while, it will be delicious. So it is not as convenient as pickled vegetables.

Because of these, in winter, Xiaoxi's income dropped directly from more than 80 yuan a week to more than 50 yuan. However, Chen Yubin's income was better, and he could earn seventy or eighty yuan a week.

Because boys are not as careful as girls, they prepare enough meals every week. As the saying goes, half-baby is poor. And they don’t care so much. They don’t care about it so much that they don’t have to dig a spoonful of sauce and don’t just mix rice. All Chen Yubin’s weekly income is basically no different.

Seeing that Xiaoxi's income was reduced, Chen Yubin wanted to share his money equally with Xiaoxi. Xiaoxi said he would not do anything. This was a good thing at the time. Whoever made money by selling it will belong to whoever has nothing to worry about.

"Ah! It's snowing, it's snowing." "It's really snowing..." "Ah..."

Hum? Xiaoxi turned his head and looked at Zhao Juan, and could see the surprise in each other's eyes. It was rare to snow on them, only two events a year, and at most they piled up a small snowman half a meter tall, so they were very happy when it was snowing.

Seeing the meaning of the other person's eyes, seeing the windows open and all the people were lying down, the two of them hurriedly got up and ran out of the door. There were also many people lying on the railings in the corridor, and they all heard the news that they ran out of the classroom. At this moment, they were stretching out their hands to catch the snow. Xiaoxi and the others took a quick look and hurried into it.

"Ah~ Xiaojuan, it's really snowing. It's the first snow of this year." A snowflake fell on his palms. Before he could stop, it was warmed by the small amount of heat on his palms. Feeling the little bit of coolness in his palms, Zhao Juan couldn't hide her excitement and said excitedly as she pulled Xiaojuan's sleeve.

Looking at the snowflakes falling all over the sky, I could still hear the slight "rustling" sound falling on the branches amid the noise of my classmates. Although there are two snowfalls every year, the stream is still very happy when it snows. "Yes, it's snowing. The first snowfall of this year is quite heavy." I also followed Zhao Juan, stretched my hand out of the railing, but after only a few snowfalls, I couldn't stand it and then retracted my hand into my pocket.

After staying outside the house for a while, it was so cold that Xiaoxi couldn't stand it, so he pulled Zhao Juan back to the classroom.

When I returned to the classroom, I found that it was no different from outside. I was so cold that I shivered. I remembered that there was a storage cotton jacket in the box, Xiaoxi stood up and walked towards Wang Lingling.

Because it was so cold, Wang Lingling also stomped her feet and shrank her body together, holding her pockets with her hands.

"Door Officer, please use the keys for me. I'll go back and get some clothes." I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to go back and add some clothes.

Wang Lingling, who was trembling with cold, heard Xiaoxi say this and remembered that several classmates in the dormitory had clothes, so she simply stood up and said loudly: "I want to go back to the dormitory. Who wants to go back to add clothes? Go away quickly." After that, she turned her head and said to Xiaoxi, "Let's go, I'll go back to add clothes too. It's too cold." Without waiting for Xiaoxi to react, she walked out.

Xiaoxi quickly followed, pushed Zhao Juan, "Go back and add clothes." He walked to Chen Yubin again and asked him to ask their dormitory director for the keys and go back and put on the clothes.

After Wang Lingling shouted, a large group of people rushed to the dormitory. Fortunately, it was a big break time, because it was too cold now, so I didn’t have to go out for fun.

After all, Tian'er is getting colder day by day and the school is not close to home, so parents have basically prepared thick clothes for their children to keep the cold.

When they returned to the dormitory, they opened their boxes and took out their clothes to cover them. Some people had sweaters and some had jackets. Some people felt that they were better than nothing, so they put on several of their thin coats layer by layer.

Xiaoxi only had three cotton jackets, two were replaced and one was spared. It was just right now, so I put them on directly, and fortunately the cotton jacket was large.

Alas~ When I was in school in the village, I could go to the boiler room to keep warm when I finished class. They used firewood to steam rice, and left a lot of charcoal after cooking. When the fired aunt saw them go, she would use a shovel to pick up some charcoal and pour it on the ground for them to roast it. The soil was not afraid of the fire. If it was not good, she could go to the nearby houses to roast it for a while. But when she arrived here, the boiler room used coal to burn the boiler, and she couldn't get out of school. She really couldn't find a place to keep warm, so she had to rely on herself - stamping her feet, jumping rubber bands to keep warm.

But after all, the time between classes is limited, and before you can get a good team and tighten the rope, you will ring the class bell, so you have to play for a while after the meal.

The ripped rubber band is so good that it jumps high. However, when winter comes, she wears thicker clothes and can't jump. She rarely jumps rubber bands, so she simply buys a jump rope and can jump in the corridor for a few minutes after class.

The ideal is full and the reality is very skinny. No matter how good you think, it cannot withstand the destruction of reality. Xiaoxi plans to do it well. He will jump for a few minutes after class and can still get rid of the cold. But as soon as she jumped, several girls gathered around and said they wanted to go together. They have to come one by one, and when will they have to line up? Then, I will jump back during the class time. It’s not that I can’t resist my original intention of buying ropes. Anyway, I can’t refuse, so I just retracted the rope and stopped jumping, and I won’t jump anymore. It’s not that I can’t afford to jump ropes, but I have to borrow someone else’s.

The snow fell from morning to afternoon, and there was no trend of decreasing. The last class was Teacher Tang's class. Teacher Tang paid great attention to practice and liked to take the children out to play. In just a few months, he had taken the children to the back mountain to play three times. It's snowing today and it's still quite low. It's all piled up now, so I plan to take the children out to play for a while.

There is a road outside the wall of the back playground. Because it snows today, everyone stays at home, so there are not many people walking there. There are two doors in the convenience store, connecting the school and the street outside. The owner of the convenience store saw Teacher Tang leading a group of children in, and knew that he was going to take it out for fun.

At this moment, a thick layer of snow had gathered on the road, and it was creaking when it stepped on it, causing several girls to jump on the snow excitedly, making a string of silver bell-like laughter.

“Wow…Snow…”

"Hehe... It's so fun, I'm stepping on the "crunching", hehe, it's so fun."

He grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and pressed it into a ball, "Wow~ This snow is so cold, oh hissing~"

Next to the road is a field. The green of the past is now invisible and is pressed by the thick white snow to be airtight.

"Teacher Tang, such thick snow is pressing on the wheat, it won't freeze, right?" Although they are all from the countryside and are used to farming work, they still don't understand some farming principles.

Teacher Tang glanced at the classmate who was asking questions and replied with a smile: "No, snow can keep warm."

"Well? The snow is so cold, why does it still keep warm?" Someone asked another question.

"Yes, the snow is so cold." "Well, I tried it just now, grabbed a handful of snow, and frozen my paws red."

"Puchi", Xiaoxi carefully turned his head away. Brother, you are too funny, you try it, why don't you go to God?

Listening to their funny words, Teacher Tang did not blame him and continued to explain: "As the saying goes: In winter, wheat is covered with three layers and is sleeping with steamed buns next year. The snow is like a quilt covered with wheat."

I stopped deliberately and saw that the children were listening carefully, and then said: "First, due to the special function of this snow, a layer of insulation can be formed on the ground to keep the wheat seedlings warm; Secondly, when the weather is warm in spring, the snow turns into water and seeps into the soil, which can increase the water supply of the wheat seedlings. In this way, there will definitely be a bumper harvest in the coming year, so farmers are looking forward to heavy snow."

"Oh~ So that's it." One by one, I don't know if I really understood it, and I looked like I suddenly realized it.

"Teacher Tang, what about this rapeseed? Is rapeseed the same?" A girl pointed at the rapeseed beside her and asked curiously.

Looking along the fingers, no, there is a rapeseed field next to the wheat field. The rapeseed is more than ten or twenty centimeters tall, and the leaves are wide and thick, but they are also pressed down by the thick snow. "The same is true for this rapeseed, it will not freeze."

Because I just heard Teacher Tang explain the reason, all the students unconsciously formed a circle. Teacher Tang thought about it and it was still early, and said in a deep voice: "Let's talk about these proverbs, common sayings and idioms about snow, and poems. Students, say everything you know."
