The mountain village with falling snow does not need to be dyed with ink, it is a poetic picture.
The naughty child who used to be greedy for bed didn't need to call his parents early in the morning, so he couldn't wait to put on his cotton-padded clothes and howl to invite his friends and go out to play in the snow. The white snow was covered with small footprints, and for a while, the naughty child, who was flushed with cold, made a piece of white scroll look like a dog gnawing on a pig.
There was even a naughty boy who shook the tree violently while his friend was under the tree and ran away with a roar. He laughed so hard when he saw his friend being smashed into an old man by the falling snow. Then, he was knocked over on the snow by his friends in revenge, rolling into a ball, and laughing everywhere.
When the smoke rose, the naughty children were dragged home by their ears by their furious mothers...
"Dad, why don't you go there today?" When her mother, Mrs. Chen, was having breakfast, she looked at the falling snowflakes outside the door and said to Zhu's father who was immersed in eating.
Hearing this, Father Zhu raised his head from the bowl and glanced outside the door. He clicked his lips, swallowed the rice porridge, wiped his mouth carelessly and said, "How about that? Yesterday I promised to go to Shanghe Village." Aunt Zhao is taking her to visit relatives in the town, and on this snowy day, I don’t know how many people are still pointing at our ox cart.”
"If you are lucky, you will not enjoy it!" Mother Chen said angrily.
After a while, mother Chen put down her chopsticks and looked outside for a while, "The snow is getting heavier and heavier, so the boss took two cakes and went to clear the snow for Juan'er's house, and he didn't know how to have a bowl of hot soup." Go again.”
Father Zhu said while eating, "Juan'er's family will heat soup for the boss, so don't worry about it. Juan'er's family misses the boss now."
"What do you know? Her family would be as willing to cook the porridge as delicious as ours, but they don't feel sorry for the firewood." Mother Chen choked Father Zhu, saying that her eldest son went out early in the morning to bring cakes to his future father-in-law's house. Sweeping snow is a bit embarrassing.
"I still don't understand you, you're just jealous, okay, the boss has cleared the snow from our house before going out." Zhu's father said, picked up another piece of cake and started eating.
"Who's jealous? I feel sorry for the boss." Chen's face turned slightly red when she heard this, but her mouth was hard, and then she changed the subject, "Speaking of the boss, I think about the second child again. How long has it been? Yes, why haven’t you received any letter yet?”
"We'll be back soon. She's been away from home for more than once or twice. If you can take care of yourself, just put your heart in your belly." Zhu's father put down the cake in his hand and comforted Mrs. Chen.
"If the second child doesn't come back for a day, I won't be able to let go. Oh, I almost forgot. When I mentioned the pig, I remembered it. Didn't I go to town with the boss yesterday? Guess who I met." Chen Shi bumped Zhu's father with his arm and asked with bright eyes.
When Father Zhu heard this, he almost choked on a mouthful of cake. How could he have guessed this? !
"Er Gouzi's mother?" Father Zhu said a name tentatively.
"Qi, I know you can't guess. I met the daughter of Mr. Li, the rich man of Shanghe Village. She is the little girl who came to play with She'er several times when she was a child. Her appearance was very popular when she was a child. Now she has disappeared. I look like a fairy in the sky, so beautiful that no girl in the village can compare with me. She recognized me from afar. My aunt is older than my aunt, she is well-educated and kind-hearted. I went to the town to burn incense and pray for her father. She was a filial person. As soon as I sold my goods, many people praised me. I think many people are thinking about marrying her home as their daughter-in-law. You tell me, if we give How about the second youngest marrying into the family as a daughter-in-law?"
Mrs. Chen looked at Father Zhu warmly. Ever since she met Li Shu yesterday, this idea seemed to have taken root in her heart.
Father Zhu shook his head when he heard this.
"Hey, isn't there something wrong with this girl?" Mrs. Chen asked with a pity look on her face.
"What are you talking about?" Father Zhu put down the cake in his hand and said to Mrs. Chen, "The girl is fine."
"Okay, then why are you shaking your head? Even though Erxiao and Shuer are both young now, they have to make a decision early. Many people are thinking about it, and they will be snatched away if it is too late." Ms. Chen was a little anxious.
"The girls from the Li family are nice, but they probably don't look down on our family. I heard people say that the old Li family is not simple. They have a lot of background. They probably don't look down on our small family." Zhu's father shook his head. He shook his head and said.
"How old is it?" Mrs. Chen didn't believe it and was very proud of her son. "My son is a scholar, so why is he not worthy of their family? My son is married to a princess."
"I don't know how old I am, but I'm not young anyway. I heard that the county magistrate is very polite to others when he meets them. He has seen many talented people, so it would be great if we married a farmer's girl." Father Zhu shook his head and couldn't explain clearly. How old is the Li family? Anyway, over the years I have heard people say that the old Li family is very big.
"The farmer's family? How about that? Yesterday I met the girl from the Li family, and I felt that the little girl from the farmer's family is incomparable to others." Ms. Chen shook her head, "Besides, I guess even the second child will look down on her."
"It would be great if Xie'er wins the lottery, then the old Li family will have nothing to say." Mrs. Chen asked with some expectation.
"Winning the exam is not about growing crops. It's just a matter of success." Zhu's father curled his lips.
"Oh, by the way, yesterday I talked about Zhi'er with the girl from the Li family. The girl from the Li family even called Zhi'er Ping'an brother. I thought it was funny. Oh, by the way, the girl from the Li family also said, maybe Zhi'er. My son is coming back after taking the exam this time." Mrs. Chen took a few mouthfuls of rice and started talking again.
"I'm trying to coax you." Father Zhu curled his lips.
At this moment, I heard the crackling of firecrackers outside. The sound was very loud. It seemed that the firecrackers were the thick ones that the village was reluctant to buy.
"Whose family is having a happy event? Why haven't you heard about it? Are you marrying a wife or a daughter?" Ms. Chen stretched her neck and looked out the door, curious and confused at the same time. "I was talking to his aunt the day before yesterday when we were picking up shoe soles, and I didn't hear anything from them about someone having a happy event?"
Zhu's father was also a little confused. According to the village's custom, no matter whether it was wedding or wedding, the neighbors in the village had to help out, but no one told him, and there was no one in the village who he didn't talk to.
Then there was a sound like a pot was exploding outside the village, a clanking sound, the sound of many people talking, and the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer.
curious
Father Zhu and Mrs. Chen were very curious.
Then soon, I heard footsteps outside the door, the door of my house was banged, and there were a lot of people talking.
"His brother, please open the door quickly. It's a big happy event. There's a big happy event coming."
"Second Aunt, please open the door quickly. There's a happy event coming."
"Hurry up and get ready. Everyone from the county has arrived at the entrance of the village."
Before Mrs. Chen and Mr. Zhu could react, the door was pushed open with force, and then a lot of people came in, including neighbors, uncles and aunts. Many people came, and it was very lively. (To be continued.)
