After the autumnal equinox, time flies by quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it’s the time of frost again.

Every year around October 23 of the Gregorian calendar, when the sun reaches 210 degrees longitude, it is the frost drop in the twenty-four solar terms. Frost drop is the last solar term in autumn and the transitional solar term from autumn to winter. In late autumn, there is a lot of heat dissipated from the ground, and the temperature drops suddenly.

When the temperature is below 0 degrees, water vapor in the air condenses directly on the ground or plants to form tiny ice needles, and some become hexagonal frost flowers, white in color and loose in structure.

The frost fell on October 24, 1983. The temperature dropped sharply, and the ground was covered with frost flowers as promised.

There is a saying in the Northeast that frost changes the sky. After the frost, the weather begins to become bleak, and the leaves swept down by the autumn wind are everywhere, making it look like a scene in late autumn.

Instead of saying "frost kills all grass", it is better to say "frost kills all grass". Frost is a manifestation of cold weather, and frost is the enemy that kills crops. Because frost means frost (sometimes without frost, it is called black frost), so autumn frost and spring frost are

Collectively called frost.

As soon as the frost comes, there are fewer pedestrians on the streets, and many people have already put on thick long trousers at this time.

Li Zhongxin looked at the slightly desolate street and felt an inexplicable irritation in his heart.

What happened in August 3rd was a very good thing, it was to intimidate Xiaoxiao and give people a better environment. However, Heiwa, whom Li Zhongxin arranged for Bai Fengyi to find to collect mountain goods, did not grab the military cap this time, but

But he still went in because of the war.

This time the sentence was roughly the same as that in later generations. This time he was sentenced to eight years for intentional injury.

Heiwa and Li Zhongxin had little to no relationship. They just spent a few days together in later generations. This time Heiwa was sentenced to eight years in prison, and Li Zhongxin just felt irritable.

He always had a feeling that it was destined by heaven. Although he was reborn in 1982, there were many things that he should not deliberately change or alter.

If the change is too great, whether it is the people around you or some things, there will be some deviations. Things that are destined to happen will even change again due to the passage of time.

"Zhongxin, you kid, what are you doing standing at the gate? Do you have anything to do now?" Wang Yaqing walked out of the gate and saw Li Zhongxin standing at the door stupidly. She immediately asked.

"Well, Mom, I don't have anything to do right now. I just came out to get some fresh air." Li Zhongxin put away the unpleasant things in his mind and answered casually.

"You brat, just don't have anything to do. It's frost today, and your grandma wants to eat persimmons and persimmon cakes. You go out and buy some." When Wang Yaqing heard that Li Zhongxin was fine, she immediately became happy.

Wang Yaqing was speechless for a long time about her son who was busier than her every day. If she hadn't given birth to Li Zhongxin herself and watched him grow up under her nose, she would have thought that Li Zhongxin was a monster.

.

It's now 1983, not to mention the whole street, even the whole Jiangcheng, there doesn't seem to be a child as capable as Li Zhongxin.

In 1982, Li Zhongxin and Wang Bo were engaged in fishing, and then they were engaged in supermarkets and a wild vegetable processing plant.

If that's all, now we have a lot more connections with the province, and we are planning to open supermarkets in the province.

Throughout the summer vacation, Li Zhongxin didn't even stay at home for a few days. He was in the provincial capital and the capital, and even took a plane to Japan.

After returning to Jiangcheng from Japan, it is said that she and the Japanese jointly funded the construction of the largest cement factory in Jiangcheng. Even CCTV broadcast this news, and her third brother who was not worried was actually on the Central News.

She felt extremely shocked.

Her third brother was someone she had watched grow up. She knew exactly what kind of piece of material he was. If it hadn’t been for the third brother and her son messing with this Zhongxin Company, the third brother would have been hiding in the past eighty-three years.

Don't go there.

She knew better that no one's children could be as troublesome as her own children. Although Wang Yaqing didn't know how much Li Zhongxin was worth now, she knew that if the richest person in Jiangcheng was to be, it must be her own.

This worried son.

"Oh, I'm going to eat persimmons and persimmon cakes during the frost today! Then I'll go buy some now." Li Zhongxin touched his pocket, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "Mom, please bring me some money when I get home.

, I will respect you more when the time comes."

"You brat, I don't have any money in my pocket. If you don't have any money, you can go home and get it, or go to your supermarket to get it." Seeing Li Zhongxin's shocked expression, Wang Yaqing said anxiously: "I

We're going to play mahjong at Sister-in-law Jia's house in the backyard! I can't give you money, otherwise, you may not win money playing mahjong today. Remember to buy more good persimmons and persimmon cakes!"

After saying that, Wang Yaqing stopped looking at Li Zhongxin and hurriedly walked past Li Zhongxin and walked toward the small alley about ten meters away to the east.

Li Zhongxin was speechless about his mother's hobby of playing mahjong. Besides teaching, his mother's only hobby was playing mahjong.

Every time I play mahjong, I always murmur at home about the blessings of gods and Buddhas. I also have a lot of rules. You can't borrow money from outside when playing mahjong.

For example, now, his mother asks him to buy persimmons, but he has no money in his pocket. Under normal circumstances, his mother should take the initiative to give him some money to buy them at this time.

However, because of the particularity of playing mahjong, his mother asked him to go back to the house to get it, or go to the supermarket to get it directly. This also witnessed his mother's obsession with mahjong.

But! People have some hobbies that are quite good, and Xiaoqing Yiqing is just right for Li Zhongxin’s mother.

Watching his mother's back disappear at the entrance of the alley to the east, Li Zhongxin sighed and turned back to the house to get money.

Although Zhongxin Grocery Supermarket was opened by Li Zhongxin, a long time has passed and most of the old salespeople, whether it is the flagship store or other supermarket chains, have gone out to open stores or work on the management floor.

Others have begun training new salespeople. At this time, there are very few salespeople who know Li Zhongxin at the Zhongxin Supermarket flagship store. If you really go there and don't see anyone you know, it will be embarrassing.

If you want to buy a few persimmon cookies and find the person responsible for managing the supermarket, Li Zhongxin feels that you really can't do it. Since the supermarket is left to the people below to take care of it, then try not to break the rules, even if he is the one running it.

Yes, you can't just go there and take it away without paying.

In the evening, when the whole family was sitting on the bed talking, Li Zhongxin finally understood why his great-grandmother and mother ate persimmons on the day of frost.

Li Zhongxin's great-grandmother happily told the legends she heard when she was a child while eating a big persimmon.

Legend has it that Zhu Chongba, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had a very poor family when he was a child. He often had too much to eat and had no choice but to pick up a begging bowl and a dog-beating stick and go around begging for food.

One year there was a frost, and Zhu Chongba, who had been without food for two days, was so hungry that his eyes were black and his limbs were weak. When he stumbled to a small village, his eyes suddenly lit up and he found a pile of rotten tiles beside the village.

There is a persimmon tree, full of red persimmons.

Zhu Chongba was very excited when he saw it. He thought to God whether he would starve to death.

So, he climbed up the tree with all his strength and ate a feast of persimmons. Only then was he able to save a small life from the Lord of Hell. And he didn't have a runny nose or a split lip all winter long.

Later, Zhu Chongba became the emperor. One year, Shuangjiang led his troops to pass by the small village again and found that the persimmon tree was still there, still covered with red persimmons. Faced with this situation, Zhu Chongba had a lot of thoughts.

, it was this persimmon tree that saved him from starvation.

He looked up at this ordinary persimmon tree, slowly took off his red shirt, climbed up again, solemnly put his shirt on the persimmon tree, and named it "Lingshuang Hou".

Then he reluctantly left.

After this story spread among the people, the custom of eating persimmons during frost gradually formed.

Li Zhongxin’s mother Wang Yaqing and great-grandmother He Shuqing like to eat persimmons very much on weekdays, especially persimmon cakes from the south.

When frost comes, the two of them will go to the street to buy some persimmons or some persimmon cakes to eat.

Li Zhongxin's great-grandmother even said plausibly that she would not go hungry if she ate persimmons during the frost. Why did she and Li Zhongxin's great-grandfather not go hungry during the three years of natural disasters?

Just because she eats persimmons at this time of frost every year, it is Zhu Chongba who is blessing the people to have enough to eat.

They have experienced many hardships and most hope that China can become stronger as soon as possible so that people across the country can eat and live happily.
