Chapter 567
Su Miao fell into the grass that was half covered with snow, and snowflakes flew everywhere.
She struggled to raise her head and suddenly met a pair of round black eyes - a gray-brown hare was squatting in a snow den, staring at her.
"Ah!" Su Miao screamed, and the hare was frightened and kicked its hind legs to run away.
Unexpectedly, it jumped too quickly and plunged into deeper snow, leaving only its furry butt exposed and its two hind legs flapping desperately.
Huh? Isn't that right? Aren't hares smarter than foxes?
Why is this one a little stupid? She suddenly felt that the saying of "sitting by the tree and waiting for the rabbit to come to her" was not unreasonable.
"Miao Miao! Are you okay?"
Seeing that she didn't get up immediately, the classmates at the bottom of the slope ran over to help her, and those on the slope also watched nervously.
"It's okay! I'm fine!"
Su Miao climbed up, scooped up a handful of snow, and grabbed the rabbit's tail to rescue it from the snow pile.
The little guy trembled in her hands, and his three-lobed mouth kept shaking.
"Look! Miaomiao caught a rabbit!"
When He Rong saw the rabbit in her hand, she jumped with excitement and reached out to touch its furry body, but it kicked her hand away with its hind legs.
"Rongrong, be careful, wild rabbits are quite fierce."
Soon, everyone gathered around and started discussing it.
"Did they not store enough food? Or were they driven out by the heavy snow and their nest was buried in the snow?"
"Food is hard to find in this weather. Why don't we take it back and feed it."
So, the group ran back to the yard excitedly and asked the logistics aunt for some carrots to cut into strips to feed the rabbits.
Seeing that these two-legged animals had no intention of hurting it, the gray rabbit let down its guard and started to chew on the carrot. Its pink nose moved, making everyone laugh.
The tall senior smacked his lips and said, "What a fat rabbit! How can it be so fat even though it's just a vegetarian? This rabbit must be delicious."
I don't know if the rabbit understood or sensed the murderous intent, but he was stunned for a moment, and even the carrot in his mouth fell out. The senior brother also attracted the siege:
"What? Eat it? Brother, you are too cruel."
"Bunny is so cute!"
"How can you eat rabbits!"
The senior brother raised his hands in surrender, and Su Miao nodded in agreement seriously, swallowing back the words "I can make dry pot rabbit".
"How about we keep it? Does the school allow it?" He Rong's eyes sparkled.
Professor Wen shook his head. "Wild rabbits are hard to raise. Letting them go when you've had enough fun is the way nature intended."
As soon as the professor finished speaking, the gray rabbit picked up the carrot and ran out like the wind. No one chased it.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the bus to pick us up arrived on time. Everyone had packed their luggage and said goodbye to each other.
Professor Wen and Professor Li took the students back to school first, and then the driver returned to pick up the others to take back to their workplace.
Su Miao got into the car, put his luggage away, wiped the fog off the car window, and saw Director Zhang and his senior brothers and sisters standing at the gate of the hospital waving to them.
The hare came back at some point and squatted in the corner, watching them leave.
The melody of "My Future Is Not a Dream" came from the car radio again.
Everyone hummed along spontaneously, and the song, carrying the memories of youth, drifted away into the distance under the clear sky after the snow.
I returned to school and attended classes for only two days before the holiday came again, and New Year's Day arrived.
Because the school held a party on the night before New Year's Day, most of the students who were able to go home left school on the morning of New Year's Day.
Although his father bought a car, Su Miao still took a ride home with Tang Ziyi.
This is one of the few moments in her busy university life when she can communicate with Jiayin and Ziyi. Friendship needs to be maintained regularly.
On the first morning of 1990, Su Miao sat in the car and looked out.
The golden morning light shines on the signs of the newly opened individual shops on both sides of the street, and the bright paint sparkles in the sun.
The bus pulled into the station with a long tail, and a brand new "Celebrate New Year's Day" slogan was pasted on the body of the bus.
People lined up to get on the bus, the white breath they exhaled condensed into frost in the cold air, but their faces were filled with joy as they chatted with the people around them.
I stopped at an intersection and waited. An elderly woman on the sidewalk chatted with someone: "Every year gets better! My daughter said the factory is giving out bonuses this month!"
A few young men in leather jackets sped past on Forever bicycles. The dual-cassette recorder hanging on the front of the bicycle was playing Cui Jian's "Rock on the New Long March".
A group of children gathered at the door of the newly opened karaoke hall on the corner of the street to watch the fun.
Turning past People's Square and going further ahead, a huge billboard advertises Haier refrigerators, with a striking slogan painted underneath:
“Welcome to the 1990s and create a better life together!”
Back in the alley, there was a festive atmosphere. Neighbors gathered together to chat, and when they saw Su Miao coming back, they asked him a few questions out of concern.
Aunt Li chased out from the yard and asked her husband to drink the boiled Chinese medicine quickly.
Uncle Li frowned as he took the enamel pot with the words "Model Worker" printed on it. He rubbed it with his rough fingers and was reluctant to take a sip. The red slogan "Work hard on the four modernizations" on the pot had faded a little.
Su Miao returned home and saw that there was no one in the yard, so he went to the store.
It was still early and everyone had just started to prepare. Su Miao joined in and chatted with his family and employees while working.
Su Yuanzheng said: "Miaomiao, today is New Year's Day, so we left work early and took a break after finishing our lunch business.
I bought a lot of food to prepare. Now that the weather is cold, let's have a hot pot and make some soup to nourish ourselves."
"Great! Great! I heard there's a live evening show today. I wonder if there will be any crosstalk or skits."
"There should be. There was an actor who performed a skit during the National Day holiday. He performed very well. I hope he can perform tonight as well."
Su Miao was picking vegetables, his thoughts drifting away. 90 years! A lot had happened.
We successfully launched a commercial satellite for the first time, the Asian Games were held in Beijing, several wars were fought abroad, some countries were divided and independent, and some countries were united.
The world is constantly changing, the domestic economy is booming, and there's also the sector she's been keeping an eye on...
In the evening, the hot charcoal fire made the hot pot boil. Sister Yingzi had already returned to Nancheng, and only Su Miao, Su Yuanzheng and Meng Sui were left at home to eat together.
Just as they were about to start eating, there was a knock on the door and Aunt Li brought in a large bowl of dumplings.
"We all like to make dumplings on these good days. I thought you guys in the south might not make them often, so I served you a bowl."
Su Miao accepted it with surprise and gave a small jar of soft ginger candy as a return gift. Aunt Li kept saying that she was always so polite.
Some kid in the alley lit firecrackers. Su Miao bit into the dumplings and the hot soup flowed into his mouth.
The first night of the 1990s arrived gently, wrapped in the smell of fireworks.
