Chapter 101 Where’s the Cat?



I wish I could stare at him and read for 24 hours without stopping...

Hua Yu walked in through the gap in the fence only after she finished speaking.

When the flowers bloom, all the leaves dug out are stuffed into his hands.

I don't know if she was mistaken, but these wilted leaves from the cold looked like winter vegetables. She had eaten them before, and they tasted refreshing and very tender.

It's just that these winter vegetables have been frozen in the ground for too long, and the leaves have wilted a lot. If it weren't for the fact that these plants can withstand the cold, I'm afraid they would have all frozen to death long ago...

With the cooperation of the two, the snow in this small vegetable garden was quickly turned over by them, leaving patches here and there, as if it had been paddled by a dog.

"Okay, let's go back."

Both of them grabbed two handfuls of winter vegetables in their hands and walked out through the fence. Hua Shi urged him to go back.

The snow was still falling, and my clothes were soaked through. I was shivering with cold...

I jumped in the snow for two or three days in a row and didn't get sick. Hua Shi was a little surprised at his body's immunity.

Under the eaves of the front yard, Hua Xiao and Hua Li were very skillful. In just a short while, they had picked out all the stones in the rice and put them in a wooden basin.

Hua Shi's guess was correct. After picking out the stones, there was indeed not much rice, probably less than one pound.

The porridge is barely enough for five people, one bowl each...

After Hua Xiao and Hua Li confirmed that they really had a share here, they also showed great enthusiasm and took the initiative to run into the kitchen to light the fire and wash the rice...

With the rare tacit cooperation of the four people, a simple winter vegetable porridge was quickly prepared.

Because they were afraid that Li would suddenly appear, the four of them were very careful and gentle in their movements. They only breathed a sigh of relief after the porridge was cooked smoothly.

He didn't dare to eat under the eaves openly. He cleaned the kitchen and made sure that nothing was revealed before he hid in the house with his bowls and basins.

Huaying, who was lying drowsily on the bed, smelled the fragrance of the white porridge, and she sat up directly from the bed and looked at it eagerly.

There were too many people and too little porridge, so after dividing it, there was only one bowl per person. After eating it, it was just enough to fill the stomach and did not make me feel full at all.

There was no other way. No matter how hungry I was, I could only eat winter dates to fill my stomach...

Time flies by quickly, and a relatively peaceful day passes quickly...

Hua Shi returned to her room, washed her face, and lay down in the cold bed. Thinking about everything that happened that day, she always felt as if something was missing.

As soon as the sky darkened, the entire Hua family compound fell into an eerie silence...

Apart from the occasional sound of falling snow outside the window, there was no other sound.

The winter night was silent, with no dogs barking or chickens crowing...

The chickens raised in the Hua family's yard had been sold by Li in advance. In order to save money for Hua Ciyuan's exam, Li was quite generous and sold a lot of things, and it seemed that she had finally raised enough money.

She didn't know how much the exam cost, but it should be expensive. Otherwise, judging from the Li family's stinginess, Hua Yu and the others didn't eat or use anything from the Li family, but the Hua family was still very poor.

Almost all the money saved was spent on Hua Ciyuan, Hua's father.

From what Hua Xiao told her before, Hua Ciyuan was still attending classes at the town's library two days ago. However, after Hua Yu broke his leg, the family lost a strong labor force, and Mrs. Li could not save enough money, so she did not continue to let Hua Ciyuan go to the library.

Even so, after she came here, she would always see Li going out from time to time, asking someone to bring back a lot of pens, ink, paper and inkstone from the town, at regular times and places, and sometimes she could also see some old books.

Although these things are not edible, they are more than ten times more expensive than food, and they are all bought with real money...

After learning more about it, she couldn't help but sigh. Li was really stubborn. In order to support Hua Ciyuan's studies, she didn't know how much she had squeezed Hua Yu and the others...

In the daze of the flower time, thoughts drifted farther and farther away, and soon I fell into sleep.

Before falling asleep, she always felt as if she had forgotten something, but she couldn't remember it...

In the next three days, there were several heavy snowfalls, which continued without stopping.

A lot of snow accumulated on the roof, and the ground in the yard was soon covered with heavy snow.

During these three days, Hua Shi was either sweeping the snow or on the way to sweep the snow...

"Hua Li, be careful..."

Hua Xiao's bright voice interrupted Hua Shi's thoughts.

She shook off the snow on her body, leaned the broom in her hand against the wall, walked back to the eaves, and her eyes fell on Hua Xiao and Hua Yu who were holding the ladder.

“Ka-ka…”

There was a slight sound coming from above the eaves. It was Hua Li who was clearing the snow off the roof.

The heavy snow in the past few days has almost covered the entire house in snow. If it is not cleared in time, the accumulated snow will be too thick and may collapse the entire roof.

Such a case has already happened in the village. The snow on the roof was not cleared and the roof collapsed, becoming a laughing stock for the whole village after dinner.

The same goes for the snow in the yard. If it is not cleared in time, there will be no place to stand, especially the door frame at the entrance of the yard. If you are not careful, it will easily be blocked by snow.

In fact, the best way to clear the snow at the gate of the yard is to boil a large pot of hot water and pour it on the ground at the gate, and the snow will melt quickly.

However, the poured water will freeze, and the ground will become very slippery, making it easy to fall. Moreover, if the wooden door gets wet, it will easily freeze into ice and be frozen to the wall, making it impossible to open it even if you push it.
