Chapter 1753 Happy
The snow scene in the farm is very different from that in the capital.
The group got off the carriage and looked up. The endless fields were all white. The mountains in the distance were half green and half white with snow, which was a unique sight.
Not to mention Yin Huo, even the knowledgeable Bai Shan and the other two were stunned and stood by the roadside without moving for a while.
Old Zhou, who had gotten out of the car, twisted his waist. Seeing the four children standing quietly by the roadside, and Zhou Lijun and the others who had jumped out of the car on the other side also looking at the white snow and making a lot of noise, he couldn't help but turn his head to take a look. He really couldn't see what was so beautiful about it, so he turned to ask Qian, "What's so beautiful about this snow?"
Qian was also looking at Xue happily. Upon hearing this, she glanced at him and said, "It's beautiful if it makes you happy."
Zhou Silang was also pleased. After watching for a while, he bumped into Xiang Mingxue and asked with a smile, "Brother Xiang, do you think if it snowed on the grassland, would it be similar to this place?"
Xiang Mingxue said, "Although I've never seen snow on the grassland, I've heard that the snow there in late winter is much heavier than here. In some places, the snow is up to a person's chest."
Zhou Silang was shocked. "So amazing?"
Xiang Mingxue nodded. "So if the grasslands were to encounter a snowstorm, not only would the cattle and horses freeze to death, but some wolves and wild cattle and horses would also fall into snow pits and be drowned."
Old Zhou has already told everyone to go inside quickly because it is too cold outside.
The manor has been built, with two entrances in the front and back, and three courtyards in a row, so there are six courtyards in total, not to mention that there is still a lot of empty space enclosed by the walls on both sides for planting flowers and plants.
The group entered the farm, and Manbao went straight to the second courtyard at the back, which was close to the mountain, intending to live there.
Not only is there a large open space, but there is also a door on the side that connects to the outside. You can see water when you open the door and see mountains when you look up.
Old Zhou, however, disliked the place being too cold because it was near the water. Seeing the children running around, he simply took Qian and occupied the main courtyard.
Zhou Dalang and Xiao Qianshi didn't mind. They were used to living with their parents, so they naturally moved their luggage to the main courtyard.
Manbao rushed into the courtyard and had already chosen a place for himself. He said, "I will live here, my husband can live there, my parents can live in the main courtyard, and Grandma Liu and the others can live in the courtyard in front of us."
Madam Liu also liked mountains and rivers. She smiled and nodded when she heard this. She turned to Madam Liu and said, "Send all their things to this courtyard. We will live in the courtyard in front."
Zhou Lijun and the others had also chosen their own places. Anyway, the manor was big enough and there were enough rooms. If there were not enough, everyone could just squeeze in and get by.
Anyway, I'm only staying here for two days, and I don't know when I'll be able to stay here next time.
They took their luggage back to their respective rooms, put it down, and then they were about to run out. Old Zhou quickly stopped them, "Don't go out and play. Most of the fields are planted with wheat. What if you run out to play in the snow and step on my wheat?"
He continued, "Don't you see there are so many people at home? Hurry up and go up the mountain to collect some firewood. If you don't have enough, go to the village and borrow some from the people there. It's so cold, you'll freeze to death if you don't have enough firewood."
Not to mention Zhou Lijun and the others, even Manbao didn't dare to go out to play, so they planned to go up the mountain to collect firewood.
Old Zhou turned around and smiled when he saw them. "Wear warm clothes when you go up the mountain. Bring your sickle. If you can't find any firewood, chop some. Come down when you're tired. Your sister-in-law and the others have started cooking. It won't be long before lunch."
Several people took sickles and went to the next hill together. Bai Erlang swung the sickle to cut the grass blocking the road. "I thought your father would let us go out to play and not let us go up the mountain."
Manbao said, "You wish. My fourth brother told me that when we were only halfway there my father started complaining about not having enough firewood."
This was the first time in Yin Huo's life that he went up the mountain to collect firewood, and he felt extremely curious.
He was dressed warmly and felt a little cold in his hands and feet while sitting in the car, but he didn't feel cold anymore when he started walking. It was just that he was wearing too thick clothes and they were a bit heavy, so he was a little out of breath.
Zhou Silang saw them using sickles and sticks to dig up the light snow on the ground, which didn't look like they were looking for firewood at all. He stepped forward, snatched the sickles from their hands, and waved his hand with a look of disgust, saying, "You guys go play, I'll take care of this."
"No," Bai Shan, who was having some fun playing with the snow crunching under his feet, said, "Brother Zhou Si, we can collect firewood. We did this when we were kids."
Manbao, who also likes walking on the snow, nodded repeatedly.
"I know you've done this before, but the ground is so clean, doesn't it look like there's firewood ready for us to pick up? Come on out, we'll chop some branches."
Bai Erlang said, "These are all raw. Even if they are chopped, they can't be used immediately, right?"
"So you can go down the mountain and play, and borrow some firewood from the villagers. We'll cut some and take it back to dry in the shade, so you can use it next time you come."
Xiang Mingxue nodded, pulled out a piece of gray linen and wrapped it around his hands, then took the sickle from Bai Erlang. "You guys go down and play."
Zhou Lijun rolled his eyes and said, "Fourth Uncle, are we going down the mountain too?"
Zhou Silang glanced at her and said, "I'm too lazy, so you stay and drag the branches."
Zhou Lijun: ...
Zhou Silang continued to nag: "How old are you? Can you act like a grown-up girl? Brother Xiang, the guest, is working. Do you have the nerve to go out and play?"
Zhou Lijun: ...
When Manbao heard this, he grabbed Baishan and ran away.
Bai Shan slipped and almost fell. He subconsciously grabbed the tree next to him to steady himself. The snow on the tree fell down and hit Zhou Silang and others under the tree with snow on their heads and faces. Bai Shan was also hit, but he was not affected much. Seeing this, he immediately stood firm and ran away with Manbao.
Manbao laughed out loud with joy.
Zhou Silang was furious and roared: "Bai Shan——"
Bai Erlang also pulled Yin Huo and ran down the mountain.
As soon as the four of them came down the mountain, Yin Huo was out of breath and bent slightly to catch his breath, but his face was full of smiles. The breath he exhaled misted in front of his eyes and hit his face, making his vision blurry.
Man Bao was overjoyed. Seeing that Zhou Liru, Zhou Lixue and the others had also run off to look for firewood elsewhere, she pointed in the direction of the village ahead and said, "Let's head towards the village. Charge!"
It was impossible to rush, not only to take care of Yin Huo, but also because the road was icy and I couldn't run, or I would slip.
Changshou was very nervous. He and Xu An each supported Yin Huo, fearing that he would fall.
As Manbao walked, he stomped on the thin layer of ice on the side of the road and said, "Why don't they clear the ice? What if I fall?"
Bai Shan glanced at the distance between the village and here and said, "We've already left the village. Few people come here in the middle of winter, and it's hard to distribute the land, so they probably haven't cleaned it."
See you at 11pm
Phew, it was supposed to be a timed one, but I accidentally went out
