~： 41st cat winter

Pei Xiu lived through the coldest winter in history. Every day when she opened the window, she saw a vast expanse of whiteness. The biting cold wind was blowing. With a shudder, he hurriedly closed the window.

Even the sun can't melt that thick snow. The snow under the front feet has not yet melted, and the next wave will follow. So thick snow, we rarely go out. Pei Xiu has prepared all the food that should be hoarded, and made a lot of dumplings. There are still pieces of pork, mutton, mutton bones, and two buckets of bean sprouts hanging under the porch. Crop after crop, there is no shortage of rice noodles, as well as pickled pickles.

This winter was the most comfortable winter for the whole family, but a few children couldn't relax. I can’t go out to play anymore. I’m almost growing mushrooms every day at home, so I can only play with wooden knives in the house, but my mother also asks them to write 20 characters on the sand table every day.

Ah, my God, there are so many strokes and strokes in those characters, I forget them every few days after I recognize them every day, but my mother still has to dictate and write from time to time, and Zhou Yong's hair is almost bald. How can my mother come up with so many tricks to toss people, and I am also angry, so my father doesn't care.

Pei Xiu asked Zhou Cheng to make a few sand tables in his spare time, and let a few children have one for each person, so that it would be easier for them to write without having to paddle on the ground. It is convenient for them to practice at home.

It just happened that it was winter, and the monkeys had nowhere to go. An Sheng studied hard at home. He was thinking about playing all day, and couldn't remember what he learned.

A few children live in dire straits every day, look at me, I look at you, sighing, ''Why can't my mother sleep until the afternoon, so my father will call my mother into the house after dinner. ''

After sighing, the homework that should be done should still be done, and the book that should be memorized should be memorized.

In fact, only the eldest is complaining. The second is obedient and sensible. He will do whatever his parents tell him to do. A good completion will never make Pei Xiu worry too much, but often this is the least sense of existence. Pei Xiu did his best to treat every child equally, but there would always be some negligence.

The third child is still young, and Pei Xiu doesn't have high expectations for him. He is also a clever and good-natured man who likes to act coquettishly from time to time, so she will let him go. In any case, it is enough to explain and memorize it. He is not required to be able to write, and it is enough to recognize it. He could say that he lived happily every day, without worries, and from time to time he would gloat at misfortune, making troubles on the side, the angry boss wanted to catch him and beat him, and the second one moved calmly.

Zhou Shan, like his name, is a kind and grateful child. It is not easy to have this stable life now, and he cherishes this feeling very much. He was extremely grateful for the equal treatment everyone gave him. Now that he has the opportunity to study, he will only study more attentively. He does not want to disappoint his good uncles and aunts, and he also likes to study and read.

The eldest is the child with the strongest sense of existence. He is the eldest in the family. He is responsible for playing with his younger brothers every day.

These children are really making a fuss, and the roof will be torn off. Be obedient, all of them are caring little warm men, and Pei Xiu can't love them, kissing them is not enough. Every time she kisses a child, he has to get it back afterwards, euphemistically, I have whatever you like.

This cat is in winter and can't do anything. He stays in the house all day, which is convenient for Zhou Cheng. Pei Xiu can't get up every day, and he doesn't want to get up. The children are also used to their father cooking breakfast for them.

As the New Year was approaching, Pei Xiu asked Zhou Cheng to kill one chicken. The chickens in the cold weather would not lay eggs, and they wasted food. They killed and eaten meat to make up for their children. Chicks, there are many children in the family, and they are all growing. They have to eat eggs every day to supplement their nutrition. The eggs laid by the chickens at home are not enough to eat, so they must raise a little more in the coming year. Let the children dig more earthworms and worms to eat, and the task of raising chickens is handed over to these energetic children.

The village chief came to the door despite the heavy snow. Zhou Cheng kept the village chief to eat together and chatted while eating. The village chief thought that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and wanted Zhou Cheng to dig the river again and give the big guy another fish. , so happy to have a fat year.

Zhou Cheng thought about it and then agreed. It was not difficult for him, and his wife also liked to eat fish, so he could sell some fish balls. It was the best of both worlds. Let the village chief wait for the wind and snow to stop, and then ask the strong men in the village to prepare to go to the river together.

After two days, we finally waited for the sunny weather. Everyone was beaming with buckets and basins~ The whole village, young and old, went to the river to wait for the fish to be distributed.

Now it is no different from the previous two months. Before, the river surface had just froze for a long time. The ice surface was relatively thin, so it was easy to chisel, and it was also dangerous. It was easier for people to fall.

Now, because of the continuous snowfall, there is a thick layer of snow on the river. The snow must be cleaned up, and then the ice layer will be much thicker. Unless the entire river is cleared of snow, there's no way to tell where it's thinner. So Zhou Chenggong looked for the location of the river before he was digging. He had paid attention to the approximate location before, and it was easy to find it now.

Not long after Yufen came back last time, someone in the village saw Zhou Cheng walk around the sea and knew where to dig. They thought it was easy. , but he was also sick for several days, and he had to spend a few days to take medicine.

Now no one dares to try it lightly, they are all obediently waiting for Zhou Chengnong. Zhou Cheng pinpointed the position of the chisel, stood in the right direction, and tried to swing the **** down, but the surface of the ice layer was broken into small pieces. It was too hard to freeze, and it became much stronger. He smashed a big hole. Fortunately, Zhou Cheng reacted quickly. He felt that the ice layer would definitely crack when the **** went down. He quickly retreated, and sure enough, the ice layer cracked to where he had stepped before.

His precise judgment made everyone feel that it was very dangerous. After finding that there was no danger, everyone rushed to cast the net, and Zhou Chengcheng went to find the next hole. Everything has to be done in moderation. This time, he only cut three holes and stopped, and the little fish was released as usual.

There are not as many fish in the net today, nor is it as big as the last time, but every household has a few fish, so they can have a happy New Year. People who can't afford meat can still have one. fish to eat.

The remaining fish were still rounded up by Pei Xiu. She is not too much, and her family has a large population. She can sell it to make money, which is another income.
