After lunch, it was snowing again.
The twins didn't want to stay in the room to play. They took song Xintong to the small pavilion on the back mountain. The pavilion had already been on fire, and the hot air poured into the pavilion. Even if the windows were open on all sides, they didn't feel cold.
Xiaobao gathered at the window, smelling the plum branches growing next to the window, "sister, it's so fragrant."
Song Xintong touched the bud of Chimonanthus praecox. The fragrance overflowed. It really smelled good.
"Sister, there are white forehead, red forehead and yellow forehead. How come there are so many colors?" Dabao reached for a red plum with bright eyes.
"No why, God thinks these colors are beautiful, so he gives them these colors." Song Xintong pointed to the plum blossom outside the wall, "the plum trees outside are all fruiting. You can see its fruit after the first month."
"Wow, it's fruity." Xiaobao sighed.
"More than that, the bark of these plum trees can also be used to dye cloth. The dyed color is very beautiful, and it feels very comfortable." Song Xintong had been in contact with dyeing cloth, so he knew this kind of plum dyeing.
Dabao turned his head to look at Song Xintong, "sister, you are so powerful. How can you understand everything?"
Song Xintong laughed, "sister, there are more powerful, do you want to know?"
"What is it?" Xiao Bao also turned his head and asked.
"Sister, I can also make a lot of food with plums. After next year's fruit, I'll make it for you."
"Wow, sister, you are so kind." Xiaobao hugged song Xintong's waist and boasted, "elder sister, you are the best."
"I'm the best? At lunch, who said Aunt Wang was the best? Can you make so many delicious dishes? " Song Xintong deliberately teases him, Xiaobao laughs, "sister is the best in my heart, no one can compare with sister."
"Oh, my mouth is so sweet. Did you eat honey?" Song Xintong touched Xiaobao's head and looked at Dabao again. "When you are so big, you are still coquettish. I see your brother's joke."
Xiaobao looked up at Dabao and said, "brother, you are welcome. Come and hold elder sister. She smells good."
Dabao also ran to hold song Xintong with a smile, "elder sister, elder sister, elder sister..."
"Sister is here." Song Xintong touched Dabao's bun and said, "well, after the new year, you are going to be six years old. Then you will be seven years old. How can you still stick to your sister?"
Big treasure pressed a voice, some lose of say: "elder sister, we just five years old, don't have six years old."
"Well, well, I'm only five years old, and I'll be four next year." Song Xintong said with a smile.
"Hahaha, I will be three years old the next year." Xiaobao chuckled, gesticulating a three, "when the time comes, I will be able to stick to my sister every day, so I don't have to go to school."
"Why don't you want to go to school?" Song Xintong asked in surprise, "bullied?"
"No Xiaobao sat down next to song Xintong, "I mean, I like to study in school."
Dabao also nodded his head. "Master said we can read four books next year."
"So powerful?" Although song Xintong didn't know the progress of the school, he felt that the four books were very tall.
"Hee hee." The twins laughed sheepishly. "Next year, brother Dayi won't go, so brother DAHAO and goudan will go with us."
"Well, brother Dayi went to open a shop."
"That's great. Our family is out of business now?" Dabao is a little worried that he has no money at home.
Looking at Dabao, song Xintong whispered a few words in his ear, and then said, "our family is very rich. If you go to the capital for the exam, I can afford it."
Dabao's face was rotten with laughter. A lot of money, a lot of money, a lot of money.
After dinner in the evening, it is Shou Sui.
In fact, people in the countryside don't pay much attention to it. At most, they can set off a few firecrackers at midnight. Some people who can't afford firecrackers just sit in bed for half a night and talk until dawn.
In the main hall, the lights were bright, and three of song Xintong's brothers and sisters and Daya sat around the table in the hall, with melon seeds, dried fruits, sweet potato and other snacks in the middle of the table.
"Sister, will there really be a big opera singer tomorrow?" Asked Dabao.
When the sound came down, village head Wan came over and discussed with song Xintong to invite a big opera singer to come and have fun. After all, we had a rich year last year relying on lobsters and vegetables.
Song Xintong understood Wan village head's meaning. In fact, he wanted her to pay the money.
However, she is willing to pay the money. After all, it's also a good opportunity to brush her reputation. Moreover, since buying the land, village head Wan has seen that she has some skills, so his attitude towards her has improved.
Village head Wan is a local leader. Naturally, song Xintong won't refuse. He says that he should invite him directly to have a good time. Then he can buy some melon seeds and dried fruits to greet everyone. All the money is her.
Song Xintong knocked melon seeds and said, "well, yes, the village head went to the city in the afternoon to invite him."
"Why don't they come today?" Dabao asked.
"Because they are singing in the next village today, they will come tomorrow when they are free." Song Xintong explained, and then looked at poplar, "tomorrow Wan village head is afraid to come to discuss with you, you don't care how much he reported, as long as it's not too much, you can pay directly."
Poplar nodded, "villain understand."
Song Xintong felt that it was boring to sit around, so he asked, "how did you spend your time in a big family?"
"Back to the girl, rich people like to play cards, or listen to plays, or whatever. Without knowing it, the hours pass quickly." Wang said.
Song Xintong was very interested. "Can you play cards?"
"Some of them." Wang replied.
"I remember that a few days ago, shopkeeper song sent a lot of things. It seems that there are some cards. Da Ya, go and get them. Let's have a try?" Song Xintong used to play mahjong. He didn't play well, but he didn't think it would hurt to win or lose. It's OK to have fun.
"Well, I'm going to get it." Daya ran to the warehouse quickly.
Wang's helpless smile looked at the direction of Daya left, "every time always remind Daya can't claim, always say don't listen."
"It doesn't matter." Song Xintong didn't have any sense of superiority and inferiority, so he thought it didn't matter.
"Girl, you can't get used to Daya like this. If Daya develops a habit in the future, it's not easy to change it." Wang advised, "maidservants know that girls are kind-hearted, but they still have rules."
Song Xintong raised his eyes to look at the groveling Wang, and pursed his lips. "Daya's nature is simple and honest, but I don't worry about it, but now that you say so, if you can make her change, you can change it."
"Yes," Wang replied low.
Soon, Daya came back with the box of cards and fell on the eight immortals table.
Looking at the lines carved on the card surface, song Xintong found that they were similar to mahjong. He was very happy. Then he mixed the cards well. "Come on, let's play. How about a penny?"
"OK, girl, don't think it's too little."
"No, just to pass the time." Song Xintong called Daya, Wang and Xiaoyue to sit down. Four of them gathered a table and began to play cards slowly.
The candle in the room was dim, the atmosphere was harmonious, and finally it was extinguished by the sound of firecrackers.
