It snowed for two days, and everyone was clearing away the snow all the time.

The snow stopped and we could finally rest.

The four younger children, with flushed faces, ran to the kitchen to ask for credit from Feng Qingxue, "We cleared the path in our yard so that my aunt (sister) wouldn't slip and fall."

Feng Qingxue had just boiled a pot of hot water, soaked dried beans, and praised: "Ah, our children are so well-behaved!"

She washed her hands, opened the cupboard, took out six pieces of maltose, divided one piece each, and asked the eldest Lu Tianzhi to send the remaining two pieces to Lu Tianjun and Guan Cheng, "Stop being crowded in the kitchen, I can't even turn around." , you just play in the yard. "It's too ostentatious to go out with candy, maltose is not a small piece that can be stuffed directly into your mouth.

"I know!" Several children filed out obediently, and the kitchen became quite empty in an instant.

Just after she cut a piece of wild boar leg meat and threw it into the pot to cook until soft, Feng Qingxue heard Guan Cheng say in the yard: "Auntie, someone is looking for you."

"Who's looking for me?" Feng Qingxue wiped her hands and took off her apron. As soon as she walked out of the kitchen, she saw an old woman standing tremblingly at the door, "Third Grandma? What can I do for you? It's snowing so heavily, the road It’s not easy to leave.”

Feng Qingxue said as she opened the door.

Grandma Lu San grabbed her hand and said anxiously: "Xiaoxue, come with me quickly."

"What do you want to say? Don't worry."

"The roof of my house collapsed in the middle of the night, crushing your third grandfather. His leg may be broken. Go and check for him quickly."

Feng Qingxue was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "Acheng, go get my medical kit."

Guancheng took the medical kit, and Lu Tianjun took out her military coat, military hat and leather boots, "Aunt, you go out and put on your shoes. The snow is very thick outside. If you step on it, you will hurt your calves. Don't freeze your ankles." ”

The leather boots were given by Guo Xiuying before her marriage. They are made of lambskin lining and cowhide leather tops, which are very suitable for winter rain and snow weather.

Feng Qingxue hurriedly took off her purple striped five-eye cotton shoes, put on leather boots, wrapped herself in a military coat, carried a medical kit on her back, and walked on the snowy road with Grandma Lu San.

Grandma Lu San was wearing a pair of woolen shoes with wooden soles. She was old and the woolen shoes were heavy when she walked. Feng Qingxue was very shocked when she saw her and stretched out her hand to help her, "Grandma Third, the shoes on the roof are heavy." Isn’t the snow cleared?”

Nearly 90% of the houses in Wanglou Brigade have adobe walls and thatched roofs. The thatched roofs are replaced every year and the snow is cleared every year.

Everyone is accustomed to it. For the personal safety of themselves and their families, except for lazy people, everyone does this.

Grandma Lu San sighed, "Who will sweep the snow for us? Your third grandpa and I are too old to climb up, and we can't sweep it ourselves. Those sons are very lazy, you push it to me, I push it Here, you haven’t swept the snow in your house, why don’t you come and sweep it for us? They say that raising children will save you from hunger. The more sons you have, the more disputes you will have.”

Grandma Lu San couldn't help but ramble, "When I was young, when my son was young, I was worried that he would have no one to accompany him, and I was worried that he would have no one to help him when we are old. When we are old, we have supported four sons, and we have to give them a We built a house, married a daughter-in-law, and raised our grandchildren for nearly ten years. However, none of them wanted to support us in our old age. The elder said that the elder should take care of us first, so the elder said that we had to take care of the children for a long time, and the second said that the elder The third child’s marriage cost a lot, and the third child said that we favored the fourth child. No matter what, it would be his sole responsibility to support him in old age, and now it’s... ugh!”
