At night, the temperature suddenly dropped a lot.
There was nothing to do, so I took a shower early and got into bed.
When I woke up the next day, I found it was snowing outside.
The snow was falling quite heavily and a thin layer had already accumulated on the ground.
Chen Wang stood at the door of the main house, looking at the snowflakes falling in the yard. He rubbed the cold fruit and slowly exhaled, as if he was puffing out smoke.
We had planned to go to the mountains with Chen Dazhuang to try our luck after the Lantern Festival, but given the situation today, we definitely can’t go.
After the snow stops, the snow is not that thick, so it is quite suitable to go into the mountains for hunting.
"Honey, it's snowing outside."
Chen Wang returned to the room and said to his wife who was holding the little guy.
Lin Xiuqin nodded slightly. She had seen it through the window just now.
"I'll go cook some porridge!"
Chen Wang made a suggestion.
Lin Xiuqin smiled and nodded to show her agreement.
"Then I'll go cook it."
Chen Wang smiled and went to the kitchen.
While the porridge was cooking in the pot, Chen Wang quickly washed his face and brushed his teeth, then went to call the little girl to get up.
"Dongdong, wake up, don't sleep any more!"
"Ugh... Bro, I don't want to get up!"
A little girl's confused voice came from the room.
"You have to get up even if you don't want to. Have you forgotten that you have to go to school today? Hurry up and eat, then go to school."
Chen Wang said loudly in annoyance.
The little girl asked Erniu two days ago and learned that school would start after the Lantern Festival.
The room was quiet for a while, and then the little girl's sad voice was heard.
"Ahhh... I don't want to go to school. I hate going to school."
Listening to the sound, Chen Wang could imagine her rolling around in the bed.
"Hurry up! Who was it that promised to study hard before?"
Chen Wang held back his laughter and reminded him, then went back to the kitchen.
After having breakfast together, Chen Wang put on the woolen gloves and hat that his wife had sewn for him and rode his bicycle to take the little girl to school.
After arriving at school, the little girl got off the bicycle, carried her schoolbag and walked into the campus in silence.
Seen from behind, he looked like an eggplant hit by frost, with his head down and listless.
"Listen to the teacher and don't make trouble!"
Chen Wang shouted loudly.
"I know!"
Chen Xiaoyu responded weakly without even turning her head.
Chen Wang smiled bitterly, turned his bike around and left.
The snow fell on and off for four days.
It wasn't until the 20th day of the first lunar month, which was the first day of March, that the weather finally cleared up.
Just after finishing breakfast and sending the little girl to school, Chen Dazhuang came over and asked if we wanted to go hunting today.
Chen Wang nodded and agreed.
I've been staying at home these days. It's comfortable, but lying down is a bit boring.
If he is given a smartphone or a computer, he will have no problem staying at home for months.
Chen Dazhuang happily went back to prepare.
Chen Wang put on his military coat and rain boots, then took his hunting rifle, called his hunting dog and little monkey, and prepared to go out.
Lin Xiuqin had just coaxed the little guy to sleep and was making gestures to him to remind him to be careful.
"I understand. Don't worry!"
Chen Wang smiled and nodded, then suddenly walked up to her, hugged her and kissed her on the forehead.
Lin Xiuqin's pretty face turned red and she pushed him away shyly.
"Hahaha...let's go."
Chen Wang laughed triumphantly and turned away.
…
…
After meeting up with Chen Dazhuang, the two headed towards the mountains together.
The snow on the ground was not very thick and it began to melt after the sun came out.
As the saying goes, it's not cold when it snows, but it is cold when the snow melts. It really feels colder than when it snowed two days ago.
Fortunately, both of them were wearing thick military coats, hats and gloves, and they were covered tightly all over, so they felt okay.
However, the little monkey sitting on Chen Wang's shoulder was shivering from the cold, hugging his arms.
Its hair is not very thick and its ability to resist the cold is limited. In comparison, the three dogs are very energetic.
Lin Xiuqin also made a set of small sweaters and trousers for the little monkey. However, after helping Jixiang put them on, the guy felt uncomfortable and finally had to take them off.
"Awang, look at your Jixiang, your monkey's hair is about to freeze off, haha..."
Chen Dazhuang was so amused by what he saw.
“Squeak—”
The little monkey bared its teeth at him, looking very ferocious.
"Originally my wife made a set of clothes for it, but it didn't want to wear them."
Chen Wang smiled helplessly.
"Putting clothes on a monkey? You're raising it as your son, hahahaha..."
Chen Dazhuang smiled even more happily.
The little monkey screamed and suddenly jumped off Chen Wang's shoulder, giving Chen Dazhuang a face hug and scratching his hair with both hands.
"Ahh... I'm wrong, I'm wrong, Brother Monkey, let me go!"
Chen Dazhuang was so happy that he turned into sorrow. He begged for mercy in panic and reached out to take the little monkey away, but the little monkey held on tightly and refused to let go.
"Hahaha... keep talking. I'm telling you, it's very smart!"
Chen Wang couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Wrong, take it away!"
Chen Dazhuang became anxious.
Chen Wang reached out, took the little monkey and put it in the pocket of his military coat.
The pocket is just big enough to hold the little monkey and it's warm inside.
“Squeak…squeak…”
The little monkey shouted with joy.
"Puh, puh, puh, damn, it smells foul, did this guy just peed?"
Chen Dazhuang spat several times on the ground, his face as black as the bottom of a pot.
"How do you know that?"
Chen Wang grinned.
"Fuck, this is such bad luck."
"Who told you to laugh at it? Let's see if you dare to do it again."
"I don't dare anymore. From now on, both of you are my brothers, and he is my Monkey Brother. Is that okay?"
Chen Dazhuang rolled his eyes and reached into his medicine basket to take something out.
"what?"
"Rinse your mouth with the kettle!"
"Hahaha……"
Chatting and joking, the two soon went into the mountains.
It is difficult to walk in the mountains after a light snow. You have to be careful with your steps wherever there is a slight slope. If you slip, you will roll down. That’s no joke.
"Jixiang, do you want to go play?"
Chen Wang looked at the little monkey curled up in his pocket.
“Chichi!”
The little monkey responded, but didn't look like he wanted to go out and have fun.
Chen Wang didn't force it. After all, it didn't weigh much and it wouldn't be a burden in his pocket.
However, a few dogs were in good spirits. As soon as they entered the mountain, they began to search with their heads down, sniffing here and there on the snow.
Not long after they walked, Ruyi detected the scent of prey and tracked it with a few dogs.
Neither Chen Wang nor the other man followed. They slowed down and continued to move in the predetermined direction.
About seven or eight minutes later, the dogs came back, with Dahei holding a dying rabbit in his mouth.
After the snow, hares are undoubtedly the most common animals in the mountains.
