While Ding Yu was talking to Mr. Fang, Chen Shenzhong looked at the two of them back and forth. Seeing how happy they were talking, he also smiled.

I followed Mr. Fang to see the charcoal basin, which was left by the previous person who lived here. He was very good at enjoying life.

When the three of them went outside, they didn't have to go too far. After exiting the tunnel, the mountains were full of trees. The tench specially picked those with thick adult arms to cut down, and they generally didn't grow big. They could pull another one back into the valley.

............

The first snow this winter came late and lightly. On the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month, there were still fourteen days before the Chinese New Year. On this day, the winter snow fell, but only a thin layer covered the ground.

"It's snowing. I wonder what it's like in the mountains?"

When I opened the door, I found a layer of silver snow outside. My uncle lit the fire to cook while looking toward the mountains with some worry.

"Don't worry, I've re-paved the roof and prepared so much food and firewood. Not to mention this year, I don't have to worry until next spring."

Tengyu, who hadn't gotten up, turned over and faced the wall. She likes rain and snow weather. Listening to the raindrops and the wind and snow falling helps to sleep, and it also helps to stay in bed. Therefore, when winter comes, she has to go

In the county, she rarely got up early in normal times. Even more so now, it was snowing outside and she couldn't be more confident.

It's a pity that there is no electricity and no Internet. Otherwise, if I have a mobile phone in my hand, this day... is simply the ideal pastoral life in life!

If you don’t have a mobile phone, just read a book! She took out the elementary school Chinese textbook that she had long forgotten in a corner from the space. Before she could turn a few pages, Erni called her to eat.

"Sister, get up quickly. My uncle and Shen Zhong are about to prepare the meal. You have to eat before you go to bed. Be good, otherwise the meal will not taste good when it gets cold."

Listening to this tone, Erni would have thought that her mother had come through her past life if she was fucking a tender dingyu, so she replied freely and consciously before she could react:

"The rice is cold, and my bed is still cold when I come back!"

After replying, she realized something was wrong. This was not her mother. She turned around and was about to make some repairs when she saw Erni rolling her eyes and looking at her increasingly childish sister speechlessly.

"We have a heated bed at home, where can we get a cool bed?"

Since the weather got cold, Erni discovered that her eldest sister, who she thought was all-powerful, had a weakness - she couldn't get out of bed. She couldn't get her up without calling her three or five times every morning!

It's a good thing the families are separated. If you were still at Lao Ding's house, see if they were carrying a stick or a basin of cold water to keep you from getting out of bed.

"Okay Erni, your sister has been tired for a year, let her rest!" my uncle's voice came from another room.

"I didn't say not to let her rest, but she has to eat after eating. After eating, she can rest as much as she likes."

There were only two rooms, separated by a straw curtain, and the conversation could be heard clearly. After struggling for the nth time, the tench finally got up helplessly.

"Little housekeeper!"

Passing by Erni, he knocked her on the forehead and went to get hot water to wash up.

When the weather got completely cold, Chen Shenzhong moved in with his uncle on the kang in the east room. The sisters lived in the west room and cooked in the east room. They built a special stove for both cooking and burning the kang.

It's warm inside, but it's really not too cold.

Originally, Chen Shenzhong was reluctant to live here. Although he often ate here, he still insisted on going home because his uncle felt that his house was too cold. There was no kang, only one bed, and even the bedding was disdained by the village.

I was willing to take the tatters and was afraid that he would freeze. After a long time of persuasion, and because Fang was worried about being in the mountains, I was persuaded to come over and share a kang with my uncle.

Because you cook in the house, the room is warm and you don't need to wear too thick clothes.

A simple breakfast is quickly prepared, including scrambled eggs with radish, pickles, and rice, plus red and white potato rice porridge. The sweet potato porridge is sweet, and the white potato quenches hunger. In winter, there are few activities. They usually don’t make staple food in the morning. They cook porridge and then serve it with stir-fried rice.

A dish. Then you will be full at noon and evening, because they are all growing children. Unlike in the village, they usually only eat two or one meal a day unless they are busy with farming.

Sanni is now five months old. She used to put two eggs in a bowl of steamed eggs in the morning instead of three. She spends more time awake. She no longer eats and sleeps every day. She also learned how to do it with her elder sister, Ding Yu.

He stayed in bed, and every day he didn't get up and she didn't get up to get dressed.

Her second sister was holding her in her arms and dressing her, and she was struggling to find her elder sister. This is why Erni couldn't stand Ding Yu staying in bed every day and had to get her out of bed every day.

After dinner, it was too gloomy outside to go out, so the five children were all in the house. My uncle was making backpacks, Ernie coaxed Sanni to play, and Ding Yu took out the textbook he had just read, and was bored by the side.

Sitting Chen Shenzhong saw,

"Are you literate?"

Although he had not been in the village for a long time, he also knew that there was a serious preference for boys over girls. Not to mention girls, there were very few boys who went to school, so he was surprised when he saw Tengyu holding a textbook and reading.

Before Ding Yu could answer, his uncle who was busy at the side answered.

"My sister taught me." After saying that, he quickly glanced at the tench.

Ding Yu also glanced at his uncle and closed his mouth that was about to answer.

"Oh." Chen Shenzhong glanced at the textbook in Ding Yu's hand again, and then turned back.

Ding Yu looked at him, then at the textbook in his hand, and said clearly, "You want to learn too, right? Na, here you go, take it."

"No, Sister Dingyu, you can see for yourself."

The tench was stuffed into his arms, "Look, I didn't just buy this one. This is Chinese. I also bought mathematics. We all have to learn it and go to school. We can't be blind in the future. What's more?

You can’t do it without a diploma, otherwise you won’t be able to earn any future.”

"go to school?"

"Don't think it's the same thing!"

Chen Shenzhong and his uncle spoke at the same time, but Chen Shenzhong's whispered questions were drowned in his uncle's angry voice.

"You don't know what our situation is. It's already a good thing that we grow up safely and without any disease or disaster. We will have to wait until we grow up to think about the rest."

Originally, my brother-in-law was always nervous, because raising chickens in the mountains was a time bomb for him, and he might be found out and reported soon. And Mrs. Fang... Now my niece has to go to school again.

, she is really not afraid of big things!

My brother-in-law felt tired. He had to be ready to give his niece an injection every time she had a fever. She must not let her swell like this anymore.

Ding Yu knew that he would be opposed by his uncle, "It will be too late to learn when we are all grown up."

"Why is it late? Now you don't need to take the scientific examination. If you want to take the examination for the unit, but our status is not available, you can study at any time. You should grow up first."

Ding Yu was a little surprised why her uncle was so responsive to learning knowledge. She had previously thought that her uncle just didn't want to stand out and be noticed by others, but his firm opposition now made Ding Yu temporarily concerned.
