Chapter 967 It’s Too Cold

"You clean up our unused house, install the big kang board, and burn it for a few days," Changsheng's mother thought for a while and said to her son.

"Mom, what are you doing with those?" Chang Sheng raised his head, why would you want to clean up an old house? They don't live in it. If they don't live in it, what are they doing to clean it up? The whole kang.

"Let the girl you picked up stay with me." Changsheng's mother scooped out a big bowl of rice for her son. "No matter how bad our family is, we can't live without that food. I think that girl is also having a hard time. Today This firewood was sent to me by her. I can see that she is a grateful person. You rescued this person. We are good people and will do our best to the end. No matter what, at the very least, we will prevent her from freezing to death this winter. starve."

Chang Sheng ate the food in a daze, maybe he thought of something. After a few mouthfuls, he stuffed all the food into his mouth, then rolled up his sleeves and walked to an empty house in his house. My aunt used to live in the house when she came back, but since his father is gone, the number of relatives in the family has decreased a lot, and my aunt has also moved away in the past few years. I haven't been back for more than a few years, and the house has always been empty. It might as well be tidied up now.

In fact, he had wanted to do this for a long time, but he was afraid that his mother would not agree. After all, an outsider came to the house, and he wanted to eat and drink. He was also afraid that his mother would have a bad impression of the girl, and now his mother If he proposed it, then he would feel relieved. It would be a big deal in the future. If he did more work, he would be able to earn back this meal.

He took out all the things in the empty house and put them aside. He also cleaned and spread the dust. Even the floor was paved with bricks to avoid falling. Too gray.

Changsheng's mother is very satisfied with her son's diligence. Her son is naturally a good person, but his family's conditions are not good. There is not even a school in the village, so the village seems to be a half-grown boy like Changsheng, or else he is It takes several hours to go back and forth from the mountain to school. It is also dangerous due to wind and rain, so there are not many people going there. Therefore, Changsheng is illiterate, but he has a lot of strength. He is also very diligent and smart. He often takes some things from the mountains and sells them outside. I heard that people outside are very curious about these dry goods in the mountains. The mountain roads here are really difficult to walk. , if this road can be built to this point, then the life of the people in the village will be better. Their children can go to school and become educated. They will have more knowledge in the future, and some girls will be willing to marry into their village. After coming, there won’t be so many bachelors in the village.

And what she is most worried about now is Chang Sheng's marriage. There are so many girls in the village, the young ones are all married, and the unmarried ones are still young. Isn't she the child who looks at Li Shuang's family at the east end of the village? , she is only thirteen years old, the little girl looks good, and her hands and feet are also diligent. After a few years, she can talk about marriage.

Even now that a good girl is being sought from hundreds of families, I don’t know if it will be her family’s turn to be immortal?

She sighed again, and couldn't help but smile when she saw her son who was busy coiling on the kang.

Yes, she is thinking randomly. What kind of temperament does her parent have? How can others know? As long as they are discerning, they will naturally choose the person born from her parent. The longevity of his family is in this whole thing, isn't it? A top-notch one.

Chang Sheng is busy right now, and he doesn't know at all that his mother is only thinking about his marriage. He has no time to think about this now. He only thinks about setting up the fire kang as soon as possible, and then burning it until the sun rises. If it was colder, she could move in.

The snow outside has never stopped falling.

Yan Huan spread her bedding next to the stove. Although the dust here was a bit bigger, it was warm and convenient. It saved her from having to get up several times in the middle of the night for fear that the stove would go out. If she gets it wrong again and gets sick, she will have no choice but to wait for death. However, she does feel that her life is very hard.

After soaking in the water for so long, I have never seen her get sick. The conditions are so bad. She eats porridge and drinks raw water all day long, but she can still live so well. If she was in Haishi, she might have caught colds several times. She came back, but now, she was stunned that she was still alive and well.

She lay down, and the heat from the stove made the place a little warm. Although she could still hear the whistling wind outside, she could still sleep with just such a trace of warmth. A good night's sleep.

Until night, she was frozen. Almost the entire room seemed to be in a world of ice and snow. Even the quilt covering her body felt frozen into ice cubes and was stiff.

She quickly took her clothes and put them on. As soon as the clothes touched her body, she almost gasped. It was cold, it was really cold, and the wind blew the window panes from time to time, making a sound. It was like blowing down the windows outside. There was also a sound of howling ghosts and wolves outside, and the sound of the wind at this time was very ferocious.

Yan Huan touched a box of matches on the side, and then she touched the dry firewood piled together in the dark. This was how she lit the fire. The room was also a little brighter because of the fire, and everything around her was dimly lit. There were piles of firewood, and dust and smoke were rising in the air.

Yan Huan carefully put firewood in the stove, and then she hugged her legs, just feeling the warmth, feeling a little sleepy.

I don’t know when the sun will shine, I don’t know when winter will pass, I don’t know when she can go home.

She touched the cup on the side, but the coldness between the cup's tentacles made her quickly retract her hand. It was really, really cold.

She put her finger to her mouth, breathed hot air on it several times, and then took the cup. She brought the cup to her eyes, remembering that she poured some water into it before going to bed. .

She brought the cup to her mouth, but after pouring it for a long time, no water came out.

What about water? She shook the cup, and it was a little heavy, unlike normal weight. She put the cup in front of her eyes, but she felt like crying, but in the end she didn't shed any tears.

The water in the cup was frozen into ice cubes.

She placed the cup on the stove until the water in the cup melted little by little. Then she put the cup to her lips. At that moment, the cold water chilled her throat and body. Lungs.

Cold, really cold.
