The snow fell heavily for half the night and stopped only when it was almost dawn.
At 5:30 in the morning, Qiao Jiuru and Su Huaiyuan were sent to the Dashan Village next door.
When they arrived at Dashan Village, it was exactly six o'clock. The wife and him found an uninhabited forest and took out the things they had prepared for their daughter from the space.
Each person has a carrying pole.
Qiao Jiuru picked out mutton, fish, and fine grains for his daughter and her family, as well as a package for Lao Cai and her daughter.
Su Huaiyuan carried two full loads of firewood. They were worried that their daughter would not have enough firewood for the winter, so they prepared some for her as well.
When I arrived at the room where Su Huazhu and the Song siblings lived, the two people inside were still sleeping soundly. The kang under them was so warm that it was not affected by the weather outside at all.
Su Huaiyuan walked around to the wall of his daughter's room, knocking on the bricks and calling his daughter's name softly.
Su Huazhu was in a daze when she suddenly heard someone calling her, and the voice seemed very familiar, which woke her up immediately.
Dad’s voice.
Her parents are here.
Su Huazhu's sleepiness disappeared immediately and she woke up in an instant. She was so happy that she quickly put on her clothes and then got off the kang to put on her shoes.
Then, without even turning on the light, he ran to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, a gust of cold wind rushed in and she immediately felt the chill.
Outside the courtyard gate was her mother.
"Mom and Dad, why are you here?!"
Su Huazhu welcomed people into the yard. She was really happy to see her parents.
"While the snow is not too heavy and the road is still passable, I will send you some things for the winter."
Qiao Jiuru took the things he had picked and went straight into his daughter's room, talking softly as he walked.
Su Huaiyuan had already carried two large loads of firewood to the place where it was stored, and by the way, he came to see if his daughter and her family had enough firewood to last the whole winter.
When he saw the pile of firewood, he felt relieved.
Moreover, before the Chinese New Year, Song Luoyun had to go back to Beijing to visit his relatives. He would be gone for a month, so this would save some firewood.
"Uncle Su, why are you here?!"
Su Huaiyuan had just put the firewood away and was passing by the Song brothers and sisters' house when Song Luoyun heard the noise and got up to check. Unexpectedly, it was Uncle Su and Aunt Qiao who came.
Song Luoyun was so surprised and delighted that he had been thinking about visiting them these past two days to report on his current progress in purchasing mountain products.
"We have traveled a long way in the past few days to look for mountain products. We found a lake in the mountains and caught some fish. While the snow is not too heavy, we will send some fish, grains and firewood over. You can come and share some."
Su Huaiyuan didn't say it in such detail. He just mentioned it in a roundabout way and called him over.
"Uncle Su, there's no need to send us firewood. As long as we have time, we can go up the mountain to collect firewood and pile it up. As long as the road is passable in the next few days, we will continue to collect firewood."
Song Luoyun really didn't expect that Uncle Su would actually send them firewood. He was immediately moved and decided to listen carefully to the words of the two elders in the future.
"Uncle Su, why are you here?!"
After Xiaoshu put on his clothes, he heard a familiar voice. He looked over and found that it was Uncle Su and Aunt Qiao. He was very surprised.
"I'm here to bring you some food. Come and talk with me. I need your help today."
Uncle Su greeted her with a smile. The little girl was very hardworking, quick and straightforward. The key was that she knew when to advance and retreat, which made her much better than her brother Xiao Song.
Xiaoshu, who originally didn't want to disturb the Su family's reunion and conversation, changed his mind after hearing what Uncle Su said, and obediently followed Uncle Su into his cousin's room.
"Hello, Auntie."
After the Song siblings entered the door, they greeted Qiao Jiuru warmly and familiarly.
"Come in and grill. I brought fish, mutton, and some fine grains. You and your sister will also have a portion."
While greeting the brother and sister, Qiao Jiuru pointed at the things given to them.
"Aunt, no need. My brother eats eggs every day. Let's leave these for my cousin."
Xiaoshu quickly waved his hand to refuse. The first six months after going to the countryside were indeed difficult, and the food rations were all from the production team. The brother and sister did not dare to eat more, and they were not familiar with the work in the fields, and the work points they received were also few, so they had to shamelessly take things from the Su family.
It was not until Song Luoyun earnestly asked for advice on farm work and was very willing to endure hardships, and his work points increased day by day, that his worries gradually subsided.
Xiaoshu was also very hardworking and good at making a living. She worked hard to earn four work points, and she also dug wild vegetables, planted vegetables, and looked for mountain products. She supported herself and did not rely on her brother.
Later, their grandfather wrote to them and told them not to worry about home, to use money to buy food if there was not enough, and not to save on eggs and brown sugar. The most important thing was to take care of their health. Only then did they slowly begin to change.
"Don't worry, Xiaoshu. I won't let you two eat for free. Isn't it that Auntie needs your help with something?"
Qiao Jiuru likes the little girl Xiaoshu, who is sensible and knows what's going on. However, every time she gives something to the brother and sister, she feels guilty.
"Aunt, please tell me."
When Xiaoshu heard that they were asked for help, he nodded without hesitation.
"Today, I would like you to go to the commune to help buy some daily necessities, just small things. And you need to help Huazhu carry a package. Our old Cai asked you to help send it to his daughter who is an educated youth in the south."
Mr. and Mrs. Cai had already packed the package for their daughter, and Qiao Jiuru took it to show the child.
"Aunt, this is not a big deal. In fact, we are going to go to the commune in the next two days to replenish the things we need at home."
The aunts were too polite, which made Song Luoyun feel embarrassed. He still had something to talk to them about.
"You are all good kids."
"Aunt, please stop praising me. If you hadn't come, I would have wanted to ask you for advice!!"
ah? !
