When Old Man Zhao saw that his wife's face was pale and she looked like she had lost her soul, he did not feel the slightest bit of pity.
He deserves it. Didn’t you want to leave him alone to enjoy his life? Now it's time.
snake? Why was there a snake at the house when she went there? He didn't believe that there was no trick. The third brother was very resourceful. His wife ran back on her own without making a sound, and it only took half a day. He couldn't bear to look at the old woman who was so stupid.
He can't find any fault at all, alas!
No hope, no hope at all.
"Old man, do you think the third brother has got water in his head? He has built a snake nest with a lot of silver. Isn't he afraid of feeding snakes to his family in the middle of the night? Or if a poisonous snake comes to his house and bites him, the whole family will be killed."
"Just shut up. If you don't speak, people will still treat you as a human being."
"What do you mean?"
"It means you're stupid."
"Hey, even if I come back, it doesn't mean I'm willing to continue living with you, nor does it mean I forgive you..."
Old man Zhao put on his clothes and left the house. He was afraid that his brain would become rusty if he stayed with such idiots for too long.
Old Mrs. Sun wanted to chase after Old Man Zhao and have a fight to the end, but she was too tired and sleepy. I was too frightened last night and now I'm exhausted.
He fell on the kang, smelled the familiar smell of tobacco leaves on the quilt, and began to snore.
Over there, Zhao Dashu's family had their fill and then happily went to bed to catch up on some sleep. They had been performing with their mother all night, so it would be a lie to say they weren't tired.
Zhao Dayong was doing very well in selling vegetables. After he had sold out all the vegetables he grew, he started to attract the villagers. He charges one cent for two pounds, and there will definitely be many people willing to sell it to him. He can then sell it on for one cent per pound and make half of the difference in a quick resale.
This business is promising!
"Wife, talk to the people in the village and see if there is anyone willing to sell vegetables to us."
"How much? What's the price?" Li knew that the family's vegetable business was very busy recently. Except for the vegetables they ate during the winter, all the remaining vegetables were sold. Every night, she counted the copper coins she earned and went to sleep with a grin on her face.
"One penny for two kilograms, that's it..." Zhao Dayong told his wife about his plan. Li looked at him admiringly, "Boss, how can you be so capable!"
Zhao Dayong looked at his wife, his chin raised a little, "Do you think it's okay?"
"Of course. You can go to the county town to sell vegetables, and I will collect them at home."
"Well, we can earn as much as we can while there is still a way to get into the city."
When the first snow of this year's cold winter came, everyone was still asleep. I woke up early in the morning and saw people sweeping the snow. "Little girl, put on your clothes and make a snowman with me!"
“Here I come!”
The first snow of winter, building two big snowmen and eating a hot pot, there is nothing happier than this.
Both girls were wearing cloaks and squatting in the yard, pinching snow.
"Don't you feel your hands are cold?" Every winter, they would stay in bed and dare not go out.
"Mom, it's not cold." Li Xi raised her head, and Song noticed that the tip of her nose was slightly red. It would be strange if she wasn't cold. Even if she was wearing thick clothes, her nose would still be frozen red.
"Xiaoyu, don't stay outside for too long. There's plenty of snow in the winter, so take your time to pile it up."
"Sister, will you build a snowman with me next year?"
"Every year when it snows, I will build a snowman with you. When the river freezes over, I will take you ice fishing and ice skating."
The more the Song family listened, the less reliable it seemed. What if the situation wasn’t frozen?
"Girl, can we do something safe at home? Your mother will be worried sick if you go out like this."
Well, it does seem a bit dangerous. "Li Xi, I'll take you skiing in a while. Let's go to the open space at the back of the mountain to play! I'll take you out to play."
"Oh oh oh!" the little girl clapped her hands happily.
You can play in the snow, there is a large open space on the back hill and it is flat and safe.
After her mother left, Li Xi approached Zhao Xiaoyu and whispered, "Sister, can we go play ice cream quietly?"
Zhao Xiaoyu shook her head seriously. She had just acted on impulse and had not considered it carefully. "No, if the ice on the river is not solid, we will be hopeless if we fall in. Can't you go?"
"Hey, big sister, please play flying chess with me this afternoon."
"Tuo, I'll play three rounds with you, and ask mom to come along..."
In the afternoon, Zhao Xiaoyu had a small table placed in the corridor.
"Girl, what are you doing?"
"Dad, let's have dinner early today and chat slowly. It's winter and there's nothing much to do."
Zhao Dashu tightened his cotton-padded jacket and blew on his cold palms. His daughter was really picky. This place was ventilated on both sides. It was hard to say whether he would eat or suffer. "Ask Xiao Lei to come over too, he hasn't eaten the pot yet!"
One cannot enjoy happiness for free, and must face adversity. He sat outside, shielding the wind for his two daughters.
