Chapter 382: Here Comes Grandpa
The climate in the place of exile is strange, and the temperature drops particularly sharply after autumn.
Yesterday I could still wear a singlet, but today I have to add a coat.
The sky was slightly bright. Su Da stood up and opened the door of the main room. He was immediately shivered by the cold air coming in from outside, "Ah sneeze——"
Rubbing his nose and gathering his clothes, Su Da walked to the window of another bedroom under the eaves and knocked on the window, "Su Er, get up! Get up quickly and fetch water. It will be freezing in Qinghe Bay later!"
Soon Su Er was heard scolding in the room, "Su Da, are you out of your mind? It's the end of October and it's freezing on the Qinghe River! You don't want me to have a good night's sleep. Wait, I'm going to get up and whip you!"
"
"What about the next one? Do what you can." Su Da knocked on the window again and walked to the kitchen to take out the water carrying burden and wooden bucket. "Wear more clothes, there is frost on the wall."
"knew!"
By the time Su Er came out of the room, Su Da had already put the rope on the barrel and put it in the yard waiting for a while.
At the end of October, in the early morning of Tubei Mountain, the walls, roofs, and grass on both sides of the road were all covered with hoarfrost, making it look cold.
When Su Er came back from carrying water from Qinghe Bay, he was shivering with cold, and even the physical work failed to warm him up.
"What the hell is the weather like in this poor place? In Dahuai Village, two thin shirts are enough at this time, and it won't be cold until November!" Su Er muttered to himself, but he didn't have the nerve to finish the other sentence.
Speaking of which, mother, if he had known that it would be freezing like this, he would not have to save face and only wear two thin shirts. He should wear three!
Su Da walked behind him and gloated, "You deserve it. It's as if I'm hurting you by asking you to wear clothes. I have to insist on it."
"What's going on? I'm young and strong, I can withstand it! What kind of cold is this? I'm not cold at all! It's you who are aging prematurely!"
"..." If he hadn't been carrying water, he would have kicked this guy from behind.
"Boss, judging from the weather, it will definitely get colder after winter. We are fine, the gentlemen can hold on, but the kids will definitely not have enough winter clothes." Su Er got down to business, "Tianbao and the three kids are all growing up.
"Three to five months have passed, and last year's clothes can no longer be worn this year. My parents are older and their bodies and bones are no longer as strong as ours. What should I do?"
This matter also gave Su Da a headache. He thought about it for a moment, frowned and said, "I have to find a way to prepare cotton-padded jackets for them. When Master Duandao and Du Lao get together later, I will look for them. If I can get some
For new cotton, I’ll replace all the dried meat at home first.”
"We were negligent this time and didn't rush early. Otherwise, we could just pull down the reed flowers in the reed swamp and make do with it."
They lack not only winter clothes, but also mattresses and quilts. Everything they need to survive the winter is lacking at home.
The whole family just arrived in Tubeishan this spring. They don't know much about the climate here and how cold it is in winter.
By this time, it was already too late to react.
The reed flowers in the reed field have been plucked up.
Not even the pole is left.
The two brothers sighed in unison.
Everyone is having a hard time, and they are all trying their best to survive. There is no way to talk about this.
The two brothers both felt sad and had nothing to say during the rest of the journey.
When I arrived at the door of my home, I heard the sound of the door opening in the empty room opposite.
The two brothers turned around and faced the person coming out.
Wearing a short coat of gray coarse cloth and a half-length coat, he is quite tall and somewhat thin.
He appears to be around thirty years old, with ordinary facial features, twinkling eyes, and a mustache.
Su Er almost immediately looked down, and was startled when he saw that the opponent's feet were on the ground.
After the house was built, it was empty for many days without seeing the owner living in it. It was really scary that someone suddenly opened the door and walked out of the house early in the morning.
The person who came seemed to be frightened. He shrank and his eyes dodged even more. He did not dare to look at the person and even turned his body unnaturally to one side.
"Are you a new neighbor? We live across from your house. My name is Su Da and his name is Su Er. We will look after each other from now on!" Su Da raised a smile and greeted each other cheerfully to express goodwill.
Sure enough, after he spoke, the other party seemed to relax a little, and he bowed his back slightly in a humble posture, "My name is Changdong. I work in the city. I heard people say that living in Tubeishan is much safer, so I came here."
Build a house...take care of each other..."
The man spoke softer and softer as he spoke, showing very little confidence. In the end, he no longer dared to look at anyone.
Hearing that the other party said he was working in the city, and looking at his appearance, Su Da sighed silently.
He has been to the inner city twice and knows more about the people's livelihood in the city. This is how ordinary people in the city have been bullied for a long time.
Su Er was more interested in his new neighbor being able to work in the city, "Hey! You are incredible, big brother! You dare to work in the city! Everyone who can stay there is capable! You are in the city
What to do?"
"No, no, no, I don't have any skills. I just rely on my crafts to earn a living. Me, I play cotton." Someone started talking one after another. Chang Dong answered all his questions, and he also realized that the people opposite him were not those in the city who frequently danced with their fists.
Bully, his speech gradually became smoother.
"Cotton player?!" Su Da and Su Er said in unison, eyes lighting up.
The two brothers looked at each other with joy in their eyes.
They were still worried about cotton-padded clothes and quilts, and they really got whatever they wanted!
Isn’t this coming?
Giving a pillow to take a nap is not so touching!
"Brother, if you go to the city to play cotton, will the cotton be sold? No, will it be exchanged?"
"It's for sale. I need to ask the shopkeeper whether I want to exchange it..." Changdong was startled by the reaction of the two people. He subconsciously stepped back and wanted to shrink himself into the room.
Su Da Su Er hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted, "Brother, don't run away! We have something to discuss!"
Changdong, "..." He is a little reluctant now and doesn't want to discuss it?
Without any discussion, he was enthusiastically carried into the Su family courtyard by the two brothers.
Afternoon.
Fengyun City.
Wangque Tower is located in the central area of the south of Fengyun City, surrounded by streets and alleys, making it a unique location.
The business in the building is very good, even in a place like a penal colony, there is an endless stream of diners in the building every day.
On the top floor, the cool autumn breeze broke into the room through the window lattice, lifting the hanging gauze, brushing the fine hair on the cheeks of the man in white, and then slipped away again.
The incense floats and the piano sounds clank.
Changdong knelt behind the man and shivered, not daring to raise his head.
The man's slender fingertips lightly pressed the strings, and the sound of the piano stopped. He stood up and walked slowly to Changdong. In Qingyue's refreshing tone, he lazily said, "Raise your head."
Chang Dong shivered more violently and raised his head stiffly.
When he raised his head, he saw the man's true face.
Very tall, somewhat thin.
His skin is extremely white, and he has a pair of long and narrow black eyes with a cold color, like a poisonous snake hunting in the dark. These eyes alone can make people shudder.
The lip color is reddish.
The combination of facial features on that cold white face is both elegant and feminine.
