The next day, snowflakes were flying outside the window.
The earth was covered with silver overnight.
Jiang Degui suspected that he was the reincarnation of a child prodigy and said that if it snows, it will snow. If it weren't for the current propaganda to destroy the Four Olds, he would have wanted to go to the temple to ask for a lucky draw.
The snow is about a finger deep and has a tendency to get heavier.
Lin Meiru looked at the dark sky and advised her daughter: "Take a day off today and don't go to work."
Jiang Anan nodded obediently, it was rare for him to stay at home.
The charcoal fire was burning brightly in the brazier to avoid gas poisoning, and half of the window was deliberately opened. Even so, the house was still warm.
Jiang Anan grabbed a handful of corn kernels and put them close to the ashes. After a while, the brazier made a crackling sound, and the popped popcorn tasted hard and smelled of dust. However, she and Duobao had fun playing it.
It didn't take long to get two big painted faces.
Jiang Degui was extremely disgusted: "What's so fun about popcorn? Let's go, dad will take you to catch sparrows."
"Are you using a bamboo sieve to clasp the sparrow?" Jiang Anan's eyes lit up, and she quickly pulled Duobao up and dusted him off.
The aunt and nephew, one on the left and the other on the right, took Jiang Degui out to play.
The common method in the countryside is to clear an open space in front of the door, scatter a few grains of sorghum, use a small wooden stick to support a sieve, and tie the wooden stick to a rope. Then you can squat far away and wait for the sparrow to fall into the trap.
Jiang Degui was afraid of the cold, so he pulled a long thin string along the window sill into the house. The three of them sat in the warm room, staring at the open space without blinking.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, two stupid sparrows actually flew in to eat sorghum.
Jiang Degui pulled hard, and the bamboo plaque fell to the ground instantly. One sparrow fled in fright, and another stupid one was trapped. The wings were fluttering and struggling, and there was great movement.
"Caught it!" Duobao jumped up excitedly and took Jiang An'an out to check the results.
"Duobao has a withdrawn temperament and doesn't like to play with village children. He regains his childish nature only when he is with his aunt." Jiang Shulan complained to her mother while picking up the soles of her shoes: "His father has been gone for so long, and he didn't even ask Without asking a question, he is as sensible and considerate as an adult."
Lin Meiruluo has three grandchildren, and she likes Duobao who grew up next to her the most. After hearing this, she was also a little worried: "When the child is born in your belly, we, Duobao, will have a companion."
Jiang Degui poured cold water on him: "When the little one can jump, it's time for Duobao to go to school, and he won't want to play with little kids."
"Yes, what should I do?" Jiang Shulan frowned. She made several wrong stitches one after another, so she had to use scissors to cut off the thread and start it again.
Seeing this, Lin Meiru gave her husband a vicious look.
Jiang Degui wanted to cry but had no tears.
He finally discovered that women like to hear sweet words, and telling the truth is the original sin.
Being a man is hard.
"Mom, if you want to find a companion for Duobao, I have a candidate." Outside the door, Jiang An'an opened the curtain and came in. She deliberately sat next to Lin Meiru and pulled her arm affectionately.
Lin Meiru rolled her eyes: "If you fart, hurry up."
Jiang Anan smiled flatteringly: "Do you remember Da Ya who helped Uncle Yu at his house? She is diligent with her hands and feet and has a sharp mind."
Lin Meiru hummed to express that she remembered.
"She is an orphan picked up by her mother. Her mother committed a crime and her family is gone. The police want to send her to an orphanage." Jiang Anan felt a little guilty, but more sympathetic.
Because she originally came out of an orphanage and knew how difficult it was for the children living there.
Her voice was a little low: "If I hadn't been nosy, Da Ya might still have a family. The environment in the orphanage is poor, there is not enough food and clothing, and if you are weak, you will be bullied. Mom, can we adopt Da Ya?" I have made money now and can support her.”
The room suddenly fell silent.
For a moment, there was only the sound of crackling coals burning.
From their perspective, Jiang Anan's lowered eyelashes trembled slightly and her eye circles were slightly red.
Lin Meiru and others couldn't understand it. Although the little girl was full of passion for justice, she was not a person who expressed sympathy indiscriminately, but she felt sympathy because a little girl she didn't know was sent to an orphanage.
It's just like……
She was the one sent to the orphanage!
Jiang Shulan was thoughtful and thought that Jiang Anan sympathized with Da Ya because of her own life experience, so she looked at her mother pleadingly and pleaded for her sister: "A little girl can't afford much food. I'm getting heavier, so I can keep Duobao as my companion." .”
As a daughter slave, Jiang Degui couldn't bear to see his precious little daughter shed tears, and echoed: "Didn't you say yesterday that your back has been hurting recently? That little girl is very diligent and can help you with a lot of work."
The father and daughter were talking to each other, and the little daughter did something wrong and didn't dare to raise her head. The palms and backs of her hands were all flesh. Lin Meiru was so angry that she pinched the man's waist: "What? In your eyes, I am a vicious person." ?”
"Ouch——"
Jiang Degui screamed in pain, and praised with a desire to survive: "How can it be possible? People outside are praising you as a new-era woman, and all the big men have been told by you that you have less prejudice against women."
However, in fact...
Lin Meiru led the women in the village to rebel and stayed at home every day to memorize the legal terms. Not only did the elders feel aggrieved, but even the evil mothers-in-law were polite.
If someone is stubborn and commits a crime, fine, if he can't even get a hot meal at home, no one is cleaning the house, and he wants to beat his wife, all the women in the village will block him in a corner and criticize him.
Therefore, the status of women in the Nanxi Brigade has improved very quickly!
Jiang Anan raised her head in surprise, hugged her mother tightly with both hands, and buried her head in her neck: "Mom, if I were an orphan, I would most hope that you would adopt me."
She didn't wait in her previous life, but fortunately she could make up for the shortcomings in this life.
Lin Meiru felt the moisture in her neck, and her body stiffened slightly. Then she raised her hand and slapped her hard on the butt, cursing: "If you say anything stupid, I will be your mother in the next life. You can never escape from my Wuzhishan."
inside the house.
The whole family was so warm and affectionate, but who would have thought that it would be suddenly interrupted by a violent knock on the door.
"Bang bang bang!"
The force of the slam was so strong that it almost broke through the door panel.
"An'an, something happened, please open the door quickly."
The shouts were heartbreaking.
It was cold outside, and Lin Meiru commanded the man confidently: "Isn't this the voice of Second Aunt Liu? What are you doing standing there in a daze? Go and open the door."
Jiang Degui sighed like a doormat and trotted out without complaint.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw that Aunt Liu was only wearing a thin coat in the winter. Her face was blue and purple from the cold, and her body was swaying and she was about to faint at any time.
He was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately jumped one meter away with excitement, his voice breaking with excitement: "Qingtian Bairi, you are going to have sex with us!"
When Ergu Liu was yelled at by him, her head cleared up for a moment, and she quickly explained: "Where's An'an, something happened to my family. The old man's daughter-in-law, his grandsons all fell to the ground, and there are also two new members of the expedition team."
