Although I was bold at that time, I was worried and comforted myself repeatedly, and then pointed it out. It was no big deal. I guess the moon didn't even see me. I was very worried and scared for two days, afraid that the moon would cut off my ears, so I would only have one ear left? How ugly!

Coincidentally, after two days, Xiaoxi's right earlobe, for some reason, began to grow a bag and slowly became pus. Xiaoxi remembered the fact that "pointing to the moon can cut the ears", and was so scared that it was the moon to cut her ears, but she was afraid and dared not tell the adults at home that she was afraid of being scolded.

Fortunately, her ears healed within a few days. It was just that she took a break that night, and was bitten by a mosquito, and then became inflamed and swollen. Since then, Xiaoxi believed in this sentence and no longer dared to point to the moon casually. It was not until later that she went to high school that she gradually understood some principles and understood that these were all fake.

After being scolded, Chen Yubin knew that he was doing something wrong, so he quickly threw the wooden stick in his hand into the pot hole and sat back to Mr. Chen in shame.

The big pot of rice was cooked quickly. One person scooped a bowl of dry rice, scooped the pickled fish into the iron basin, and served it on the table.

In their house, there is no rule of "don't eat or sleep" and you can talk a few words if you stuff your mouth with rice. However, Xiaoxi doesn't like this and feels it is unhygienic. If you want to speak, you have to swallow all the rice and vegetables in your mouth before talking.

Under the influence of Xiaoxi, Chen Yubin also developed this habit. Mr. Chen didn't talk much at the dinner table, and he developed the habit of not talking and burying his head to eat. But now it's much better, so I can say a few words. Grandma Chen has delicious food, but she is thinking about delicious food and has no time to speak.

After dinner, Grandma Chen washed the dishes, added water to the pot, and Xiaoxi boiled firewood, which was the water for washing feet. Old Master Chen picked up the bucket of water beside him, Chen Yubin went to the bedroom to get a flashlight, and went to feed the pig with Grandpa Chen. Xiaoxi still had a New Year pig at home.

After packing everything, the family washed their faces, brought them a foot basin, and added water to wash their feet.

This foot wash basin is wooden, with the bottom of the basin being five or six centimeters high from the ground, so the water is not so easy to cool, so foot soaking is just right. This wooden basin was given to Ye Jun, the eldest son-in-law of Mr. Chen. He is a carpenter and works in the wooden factory in Longyan Field. This is taken back from the factory.

Xiaoxi took off his shoes and socks and carefully put his cold feet into the wooden basin. It was a bit hot, but it was very comfortable.

The stream's hands and feet are cold all year round, but after entering the space for several years, they have improved a lot, and their hands and feet are no longer cold. However, in winter, they are still colder than ordinary people, but she doesn't feel it herself.

Mr. Chen and Grandma Chen washed first because their skin is thick and resistant to scalding. Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin’s skin is tender. I don’t know if it is to save water or something, but their family always only burns a basin of foot washing water. However, everyone washes their feet every day and doesn’t have any athlete’s foot or something. They are not afraid of using a basin of foot washing water.

Saving time is also for fun. Xiaoxi and Chen Yubin wash together and put their feet into the water. So, while Chen Yubin is not paying attention, Xiaoxi stepped on his insteps and stepped into the water with both feet. Her own feet were still on Chen Yubin's insteps, so that she would not burn her feet.

The water was still a little hot. When my sister stepped on it in the water, Chen Yubin was so hot that he screamed a lot, struggling to pull his feet out of the soles of the stream. He was still yelling, "Ah... burn people..."

Burning people means being hot, hot, and hot.

"The water has been (hanging) for so long, and it's still burning people." Mr. Chen said disbelief.

Xiaoxi knew how hot the water was. When Chen Yubin shouted, he smiled and let go of his feet and gently washed his feet with water.

As soon as Xiaoxi let go, Chen Yubin quickly lifted his burnt-red foot. Seeing that Xiaoxi was still laughing, he decided to take revenge and acted viciously to step Xiaoxi's foot into the water, treating her like she did to herself just now. However, Xiaoxi flexibly avoided it, and saw Xiaoxi stepping on him again, and they were not caught. They just started playing around with each other.

Seeing the water sprinkled all over the floor, Mr. Chen quickly stopped him and said, "Okay, stop playing, the water is cold, hurry up and wash it. We will bake for a while and then go to bed."

The water was not so hot at this moment, so Xiaoxi stopped struggling. Chen Yubin took the opportunity to step on her feet and raised her head high, hahaha, I took revenge. Xiaoxi looked at his appearance, which was very funny.

Rubbing her insteps, Xiaoxi remembered something, "Mother-in-law, you have to buy tofu early tomorrow." She was afraid that people would sell out the tofu, and if she went late, it would be gone.

When people get old, they will be sleepy. If they really go to bed and go to bed, they will not be able to fall asleep. At this moment, nothing happened. Grandma Chen sat next to the fire and was dozing off. When she heard Xiaoxi calling herself, she woke up in a panic.

After wiping his face, he slowly spoke, "It's okay, I greeted Zhao Zishu and said I wanted to buy two plates of tofu. He said that I would make two plates of tofu tomorrow morning and stay at the house and wait for me to pick it up after a long time."

Zhao Zishu is the son of Erpo, the head of the yard. Xiaoxi called him a cousin. This year, he has not been looking for work outside, and he knows some skills in making tofu, so he makes tofu at home. If anyone wants to eat tofu, he will spend two yuan to buy one from his house. One board is twelve yuan, one yuan or two yuan, and he can't sell much in a day. According to Erpo's words, he will have to go out to find work outside next year.

"Well, you will get it tomorrow. When the temperature drops tonight, it will be frozen on the big table outside." Although it is less snowing in Xiaoxi's house, the temperature is also low, and it will freeze every year. Although the temperature is only a few degrees below zero and the ice is not thick, it is enough to freeze tofu.

Because the temperature drops below zero at night, the water surface will form thin ice. When the sun comes out during the day, the temperature will rise above zero, so the stream says that tofu is frozen at night.

Thinking that it was January now, Xiaoxi said again: "Mom, come and buy more tofu in the future and freeze more. It's delicious during the Chinese New Year. Anyway, there is a place to put it. If the temperature rises, it won't be frozen."

Here, as soon as the Chinese New Year is over, the temperature will rise. At the beginning of the first lunar month, the temperature will rise to above zero, basically around ten degrees.

Grandma Chen covered her mouth and yawned, and said vaguely: "Well, I know."

Yawning can infect people. When Xiaoxi saw her mother-in-law yawning, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and hit her. She took the wiping handkerchief, wiped the water, put on cotton slippers, got up and put the changed shoes on the wall when she entered the door.

After both children finished washing their feet, Mr. Chen picked up the wooden basin and splashed water when he went out. Because the wooden basin was a bit heavy, he was afraid that the two children would not be able to handle it, so Mr. Chen usually helped to pour the foot wash water.

In fact, how could the two children not be able to carry this basin of water? They can carry fifty or sixty kilograms of things. This basin of water is so heavy. It was just that the old man felt that the two children were tired of going to school and felt sorry for them, so he helped pour it.

"By the way, Xiaoxi, Binbin, your teacher said that it has not been in the exam for a long time. It's the twelfth lunar month." Old Master Chen also learned from Xiaoxi's barefoot to the fire.

After baking one, I took it back into the slippers, and baked another one. Xiaoxi said lightly: "I said it, I will leave it after the exam this Thursday, and I will receive the notice after school starts."

In fact, their notice is just a transcript and several papers.

The school considers that some of them live too far and travel back and forth to get a test paper. It is too troublesome, so they wait until the new school starts before issuing it.

"Oh, then when you finish the exam, the Chinese New Year is almost coming." Mr. Chen calculated with his fingers and said, "That's right, our family will kill pigs this week, and you will come back to eat meat."

I heard that there was meat to eat, and Chen Yubin was energetic, with bright eyes staring at Mr. Chen, "Grandpa, our family is going to kill pigs, when will it be?"

"Haha... when you say you're going to eat meat, you'll be energetic..." He also deliberately stopped to cheer up his appetite. "It was originally from Wednesday, but there were a lot of people anyway. We waited for two days, so our family moved to Thursday. It just so happened that you took the exam and came back to eat meat after the exam."

"Yeah." Chen Yubin was like a pug, and he was just about to lick Mr. Chen's fingers and acted obediently.

Seeing that it was almost done, Mr. Chen gave an order, "Okay, don't bake it anymore, go back and get into the bedside, it's hot." Then he asked the third lady and grandson to go back to the house first, and he stayed behind and turned off the fire.

First, he retreated the big firewood to the open space beside him. Mr. Chen scooped a bucket of water and put out the firewood one by one. In winter, there is a lot of firewood, and he is afraid of fire. Although it is far away from the pile of firewood in front of the stove door, this is just in case.

Xiaoxi returned to the house, but she didn't expect Grandma Chen and Chen Yubin to go to bed in a hurry, and sat on a chair to watch TV. Xiaoxi's "pot lid" had already been installed again.

When Mr. Chen returned to the room, he saw Chen Yubin taking off his clothes, huddled in the quilt, showing his head, staring at the TV. Grandma Chen didn't take off her clothes, and now she was sitting in the quilt, warming the bed. Xiaoxi was still sitting on a chair.

"Xiaoxi, go and sit on the bed, it's not cold to sit here." Seeing Xiaoxi put his hands in his pockets and hunched over, Old Master Chen scolded.

Xiaoxi had no choice but to move slowly to the bed. She didn't want to go to bed so early because in winter, the quilt was too cold. As soon as she entered the quilt, the quilt was like ice cubes and had to be covered for a long time before it could get hot. She didn't want to go to bed, so she planned to wait until Grandma Chen warmed the quilt and then go to bed. But Grandma Chen interrupted her thoughts as soon as she came. She and Grandma Chen slept alone, and had to take off her clothes and go to bed and get into the quilt on the other side.

"Oh~ hiss..." It's so cold! Xiaoxi shook his body.

To talk about Xiaoxi, I don’t want to get into the quilt at night and don’t want to get out of the quilt in the morning. Two people slept in the same bed, and the temperature was high. After a night, the quilt was now warm and comfortable. Xiaoxi stayed in the quilt and didn’t want to get up anymore.

But some people can't stand her.
