I sighed, "It's been many years since I've seen hail."
The water vapor in the wooden basin in front of her rose. Xu Mingzhu saw the dense hail falling in front of her through the mist, and she felt scared.
If their family really moved into the cowshed today, they would face this great disaster tonight.
The hail fell faster and faster, hitting the tiles with a crackling sound like a passionate symphony.
The sound is crisp and not annoying.
When the people in the house heard the noise, they all came out and stood under the eaves, watching the hail falling rapidly.
When the Zhou family saw this, they were all filled with fear.
The young man came over with a towel and stood under the eaves with Hu Lin, watching the hail falling from the patio.
"Thank you for today." The boy looked at the hail in front of him and at this moment felt more gratitude than suspicion towards the girl next to him.
"No need, it just happens." Hu Lin admired the hail in front of him without looking at the person next to him.
"May I have your name?"
"Hulin."
"Zhou Huaijing."
The hail lasted for three days and three nights.
It wasn't until the fourth day that it stopped and the sky cleared up a little.
It just so happens that the village is distributing dividends today.
After breakfast, Zhou's father and son and Hu Xiaoyi swept the snow in front of the house. Then Hu Xiaoyi and Hu Jirui went to the village to queue up to receive dividends.
Zhou Honggan asked Li Aihua where they could get some firewood, as they wanted to go and chop some firewood.
With the addition of a few more people to their family, they needed firewood every day to heat the kang beds, and they were afraid that the Hu family might not have enough firewood.
Li Aihua was under the eaves, showing them the way and bringing them rain boots and tools for chopping wood.
Hu Lin saw it and said, "Let me lead the way for you.
The heavy snow covered the road, and it was your first time going up the mountain. Without someone familiar to lead the way, you might easily fall into the ditch. ”
Li Aihua, "Look at my brain.
In the past, no one from my family would go over the mountain in this kind of weather, so I had forgotten about it. ”
Zhou Honggan questioned, "Girl, can you do it?
There's such thick snow outside, how about letting the elder sister take us for a walk? ”
"Of course! My daughter goes up the mountain to exercise every day after winter. No one in the village knows the route better than her." Li Aihua chimed in.
Zhou Huaijing's gaze fell on Hu Lin with some inquiry.
Hu Lin saw it and said without saying anything, "I'm going to change my shoes, wait a moment."
Hu Lin went to the room to change his shoes, then took the father and son up the mountain.
This was also Hu Lin’s first time to climb Daqing Mountain in winter.
At this time, the Daqing Mountains were covered with snow.
Most of the trees have lost their leaves and are dressed in silver.
Only a few tenacious species are still struggling, wanting green leaves to coexist with white snow.
Hu Lin took the father and son to the front mountain.
“Most people in the village chop firewood here and rarely go deep into the mountains.
It is quite dangerous in the deep mountains. Many villagers have been injured while hunting there.
Because they were injured and couldn't hunt, gradually everyone stopped going there and only came to the front mountain to chop firewood and dig wild vegetables. ”
Hu Lin explained, but also tested.
People who have never lived under someone else's roof have to live this kind of life.
Their pride will only make them want to prove their own worth, thus putting both parties on the same level.
And right now, hunting is an opportunity.
This will prove that they are not just eating for free.
At the same time she let the animals try their skills.
Hunting in winter is not an easy task.
Both father and son have killed people.
Due to his identity, he can only be a soldier who has been on the battlefield.
Although Zhou Honggan speaks and acts in a down-to-earth manner, there is a magnanimity in his expression that only comes with a high position.
There is also Xu Mingzhu, who has a scholarly air.
The old couple are very well-mannered in everything they say and do, and even their two children are sensible and clever.
And Zhou Huaijing is still so young, only sixteen.
This family has unlimited potential.
But it is also dangerous.
The Zhou family seemed grateful to them, but in fact they were wary and did not trust them.
There is no rush to gain trust, you just have to take it slow.
"We understand, kid, you should go back soon. It's quite cold outside."
Zhou Honggan nodded to Hu Lin and let Hu Lin go back.
Hu Lin didn't stay any longer, "I'll go back first, you guys be careful."
Hu Lin turned and left, and the father and son began to chop wood.
After Hu Lin walked away, the father and son began to talk.
"Huaijing, what do you think of the Hu family?" Zhou Honggan asked his son.
Another reason I came out to chop wood today was that I wanted to find a private place to talk.
"not simple."
Zhou Huaijing cut off a branch, and the snow on the branch immediately fell off.
"really."
Zhou Honggan agrees.
"Brick house, cement floor, clothes without patches, towels...
These are rarely seen even in ordinary families in the capital.
And every meal is comparable to the quality we had before.
Moreover, your mother also found out that Li Aihua had not worked in the fields to earn work points for many years because of her poor health. ”
