Chapter 107 Chapter 107 I Want to Go Snow-Walking to Find Plum Blossoms
A heavy snowfall seemed to have turned on the switch for winter in Northeast China. The weather turned cold rapidly, with one heavy snowfall after another.
This was a real heavy snowfall. The snowflakes were whistling, swept by the biting cold wind, and rushed through the air showing off their heroic posture, and the windows were banging. Fortunately, Songruan’s windows are made of glass. Some people still use paper to paste their windows. If they are scratched, they have to go out and paste more layers of paper.
That's right, go out and hang out.
The window paper here is pasted on the outside of the window. This is to prevent the rain and snow outside from directly wetting the wooden window edges. Now most rural homes still use wooden lattice windows. If they are soaked and rotted by rain and snow, it will cost a lot of money to repair them. Compared with this, the cost of pasting two more layers of paper seems so insignificant.
The second is to prevent the accumulation of water vapor. The weather in Northeast China is cold, and everyone uses fire beds and fire walls for heating. The temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is very large. If the window paper is pasted inside the wooden edges, the cold air outside will come into contact with the warmth indoors and condense into water droplets. It will mix with the window edges and flow to the bonding place between the window paper and the window edges and reach in. Not only will the window paper fall off, but it will also cause the wooden edges to rot.
The Eighteen Strange Things in Northeast China, such as window paper pasted outside the windows, are all the survival wisdom summarized by the working people in their struggle with nature.
Such heavy snow fell for several days in a row. When it finally stopped, the whole village seemed to be covered with a thick white quilt. Under the eaves were long icicles, shining like crystal.
The Dongfeng Brigade, which had been quiet for several days, finally became lively again. Every household started to get busy, some were sweeping snow, some were chopping wood, some were breaking icicles... the whole village woke up.
Human figures also appeared on the village road, but now they were not walking in twos and threes like before. Basically, there was one person leading the way, followed by a long line of people, with their waists hunched, heads lowered, and walking very cautiously, just like a row of penguins.
It is actually quite difficult to walk when the snow is thick. Firstly, you can't tell what is underneath, and it's hard to walk with one foot deep and one foot shallow. Not to mention that the snow gets into your shoes and is melted into ice water by your body temperature, which is so cold that it can freeze your feet off.
In comparison, the road that has been trodden by predecessors is much easier to walk on.
However, Song Ruan did not go out. She changed the charcoal in the donkey shed and poked open the vent specially left on the door to prevent the little donkey from being poisoned by the charcoal. Then she trotted back to the bedroom with her hands tucked in. She kicked her shoes off with her feet, pounced on the kang like a fish, and pressed her hands tightly against the kang under the mattress to keep warm.
Hiss~ha, comfortable.
Relying on his small body, Bai Weibo had quietly shrunk to the end of the kang. The eldest Jinhua couldn't get up quietly, staring at Song Ruan with one eye, and tentatively climbed onto the kang slowly.
Song Ruan paused for a while, took out the big durian that he had spent a huge amount of money to buy from the system mall yesterday, and began to cut the flesh with great interest.
Jinhua curiously watched Song Ruan peel open the dark yellow thing that looked like a giant hedgehog. As soon as the durian was opened, the smell suddenly came out.
Jinhua was stunned.
It sniffed again in disbelief, and the whole tiger became numb.
This is, this is...
Song Ruan took out a full box of five-room meat, put half of it into the space to eat later, and took a big piece and took a bite with relish.
When Jinhua saw that she dared to feed him shit, his eyes widened suddenly.
Seeing its behavior, Song Ruan wanted to tease it and deliberately made smacking sounds with her lips: "It's delicious, Jinhua, do you want some?"
Jinhua felt that the food this vicious woman ate would definitely not be bad, but she also felt that her nose would not be wrong. With a conflicted mentality, she pulled her round ears back, slowly moved closer, and took a cautious sniff.
yue! ! !
What a strong smell of shit!
It was like a golden dandelion, with all its hairs bursting out. It couldn't help but stretched out its claws and dug in the air in front of the durian as if it was burying feces.
You should know that although tigers are called big cats, there is actually some distance between the two. For example, cats will bury their excrement with sand after defecation, but tigers will not. They will even deliberately defecate in open places.
Ultimately it's a question of strength.
Cats bury their excrement to prevent their natural enemies from finding them through the smell and increase their chances of survival; but tigers are different. They are the natural enemies of all animals in the wild and there is nothing to be afraid of. They will use their feces to mark their territory and to warn other invaders.
You have to know that Jinhua went hungry for nine meals in three days during the rainy season, but she still insisted on her dignity as a tiger and did not bury her feces.
Song Ruan looked even more amused. He put one arm around Jinhua's neck and pouted his lips as if he was about to kiss her.
Jinhua was just like a decent woman about to be defiled by an ugly bully. She kept shrinking back, making whining sounds in her throat, which were the sounds of resistance.
"Hehehe, Hua Huhu, Hua Huhu~" Seeing that Song Ruan was about to kiss her in the mouth, Jinhua's pupils shrank to the size of needles.
The woman in the white scarf tried to shrink towards the corner of the kang, not daring to move or breathe, for fear that any noise would attract the pervert.
Mom, I'm sorry to trouble you for a moment.
Just as Hu Hu's innocence was about to be destroyed by the criminals, there were sudden knocks on the door.
Song Ruan paused, and Jinhua took the opportunity to slip out of Song Ruan's arms. Even the warm kang could not make it so excited as before. It was determined to get on it no matter what. It jumped to the ground without any reluctance, with its tail wrapped in front of it, showing its owner's vigilance.
Song Ruan snorted and was about to attack it, but Han Zhenzhen's voice came from the door, "Song Ruan! Song Ruan open the door! I know you are home!"
Song Ruan smacked her lips twice and withdrew her hand with some regret: "Forget it, maybe next time."
For the first time, Jinhua thought Han Zhenzhen was so cute.
Although Song Ruan intentionally opened the door wide to disperse the smell when she went out, the smell of durian was too overbearing. When Han Zhenzhen came in, she could still smell it faintly.
She looked at Song Ruan, whose little face and hands were clean, and took two more deep breaths with some self-doubt.
“…”
She asked hesitantly, "Ah, Sister Ruan, do you smell a strange smell in your room?"
Yes, yes, yes, this crazy bitch eats shit! !
Jinhua's ears trembled excitedly.
Song Ruan glanced at it and said calmly, "It was Jinhua. This dirty tiger didn't want to go out to the toilet in the cold weather, so it wanted to poop quietly in my room. Even though I tried to stop it, it still leaked a little. I've already taught it a lesson."
slander! ! !
This is blatant slander! ! !
Jinhua angrily slapped the ground with her big paws, it was obviously you who ate shit! Why put it on Hu Hu's head! ! !
You are the one who is destroying the two-legged beast! !
Song Ruan glanced at them indifferently, mercilessly twisting Jin Hua's protest: "Look, you still won't let me speak, you're getting angry out of shame. Forget it, let it go."
Awww! ! !
It feels wronged! ! !
Jinhua jumped up and down on the ground, hating herself for not being able to speak human language. She was so angry that she almost crowed.
Han Zhenzhen glanced at Jinhua, who was rolling on the ground as if she had drunk fake wine, with a sly look in her eyes. However, she had never been in such close contact with a tiger before. She did see it from a distance once in the zoo, and the smell in the cage was indeed not very pleasant, so she believed it.
"Oh, that's true," she nodded seriously, "it's so cold to open the window to let the smell out in such a cold weather."
Jinhua thought this blind two-legged beast was so annoying!
It made a low, gurgling sound from its throat.
After all, he is a fierce tiger. Han Zhenzhen shrank behind Song Ruan with some fear.
"It's okay, I'm here," Song Ruan said to comfort him, and asked, "It's so cold, why are you here with me instead of staying on the kang for the winter?"
At this point, Han Zhenzhen perked up: "Let's go pick up branches!"
With several days of heavy snow, many branches in the forest must have been broken. Now that the snow has stopped and the sky has cleared, many people will go to the forest to pick up branches - this can also be used as firewood!
But when Han Zhenzhen said this, Song Ruan glanced at her and said, "Bored?"
Han Zhenzhen chuckled.
The educated youth settlement was only a small piece of land, and there were so many people crowded there. Moreover, the windows were covered with several thick layers of paper to keep out the cold, and the paper was not very light-transmitting. The kerosene lamps were choking, and kerosene also cost money, which was considered public expenditure. So if someone objected, the settlement could not be opened, unless you were willing to take care of it all by yourself. Although Han Zhenzhen is rich, she is not willing to be taken advantage of.
So it was dark from morning till night, and she was suffocating.
She looked at Song Ruan pitifully, her body twisting like a maggot, her voice rising and falling: "Go~ma~Go~ma~~~"
It was a roller coaster ride.
Jinhua, who was lying in the corner, looked at Han Zhenzhen with contempt. She thought this foreign two-legged beast was so flattering, so flattering! You can tell at first glance that it’s not a good thing!
White Scarf looked at Han Zhenzhen, then at his mother, and felt as if they were somewhat familiar.
Song Ruan was thinking that it had been snowing heavily these days, and wondered how Principal Fan was doing, so she decided to go and see him, so she agreed.
Han Zhenzhen cheered and took out a can of meat from her bosom, "I brought a can of meat with me, you can take some too, let's go for a picnic!"
Song Ruan glanced at her sideways: "Then pick up the branches and burn them on the spot, right? The main point is to wave your sleeves and not take away a cloud."
Han Zhenzhen laughed and rolled around on the kang: "Picnic! Picnic! Picnic!"
"Cook, cook, cook, cook, you're full of cold wind."
Song Ruan said as she carried the backpack, "I'm going to get something from the kitchen."
"Great!" Han Zhenzhen cheered, "Let's go walk in the snow and look for plum blossoms!!"
Wow, that's amazing! This illiterate little kid knows how to walk in the snow to look for plum blossoms. It's a pity that his geographical knowledge is not very good.
The two walked to the door, and Song Ruan subconsciously looked into the room.
Jinhua lay down neatly, pretending to be dead, without moving, with her tongue sticking out.
Go and look for it.
