Chapter 34 Lock the cabinet door
On the way home, Bai Xue was in a daze, her mind was in a mess, and she seemed to be no longer afraid of the cold. She stretched her neck and looked at the scenery on both sides of the road, which was the white snow.
She didn't react when Zhang Yuan talked to her several times. Until she got home, she took the sack and rushed into the house, as if there was a scourge behind her.
Zhang Yuan looked at her reaction from behind and smiled. This little girl must have been shy. Maybe she understood what she meant.
In a good mood, I took the cotton and followed it into the house.
"Xiaoxue, you forgot this cotton!" Zhang Yuan kindly placed the cotton in front of Bai Xue, who had just entered the room and put down his things.
Bai Xue looked at the half bag of cotton and suddenly remembered the scene in Pingyang Town when Zhang Yuan asked her to knit a scarf for him, and her face turned red again.
"Xiaoxue, why is your face so red? Are you frozen? Hurry up and get on the kang to warm yourself up!" Wang Cuihua was about to ask after Mian Mian heard this, but she looked up and saw her eldest daughter's face was red, thinking that she was frozen.
.
"It's okay, Mom, I'm not cold!" As she said that, she put the cotton on the north kang, and also took the things she bought and put them away.
"Uncle and aunt! Xiaoxue, I'll leave first!" Zhang Yuan greeted the three people and walked out.
The four little ones are not at home. It’s already afternoon and they haven’t come back yet.
Bai Xue had no intention of going out to see Zhang Yuan off, so she lowered her head and opened the things she bought one by one.
"Mom and Dad, there are cheap clothes at the supply and marketing cooperative today. I bought a set for each of us, which is perfect for wearing over cotton-padded clothes and trousers! I also bought cloth for Xiaofeng Xiaocai to make clothes!" She put the clothes with her like a normal person.
Show the cloth to your parents.
"My parents already have clothes, why did they buy them for us?" Wang Cuihua said while looking at the clothes and fabrics.
"Even if dad does rough work, he can't wear these new clothes!" Bai Daliang also fits the bill.
"Mom and Dad! We happen to have cheap clothes that don't require cloth stamps, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Wouldn't it be nice for each of our family to have a new set of clothes? You can't wear them for work, so you can wear them when you rest! Look at all your clothes.
How many patches are there?" Bai Xue felt extremely sad.
If it was her era, not to mention not wearing the clothes if they are torn, but even if you don’t like the clothes after buying them, you would just buy them at the bottom of the box. But in this era, everyone has one set of clothes and wears them over and over again.
No one is willing to throw away their clothes.
"Xiaoxue, let's save some money and spend it. Parents can deal with it as much as they can. Seeing that your younger brothers and sisters have to go to school again, it's time for our house to be repaired. During the rainy season, it leaks and rains outside.
It’s raining lightly in the heavy rain house!” Bai Daliang said softly.
"Don't worry, Dad! We won't build a house. We will build a big tile-roofed house when the time comes! A big one, so we don't have to squeeze on a small kang anymore."
"It's easy to say, my dear! With the little money we have, it's okay to repair this roof. We can't even build a mud house, so how can we build a tiled house? Let alone our family, we are the richest in our village.
The captain's house can't even be built! It costs a thousand yuan to build a big tile-roofed house! Even a mud house costs two to three hundred yuan!" Bai Daliang gave his daughter some popular science.
"Don't worry! We will definitely be able to build it! When the rainy season comes, we will also live in a big tiled house! It will be bright and spacious, airtight and rainproof!"
"Okay, okay, my dear, Mom won't stop you from dreaming, but you have to take out all the things you bought. It's about to have dinner. Your brothers and sisters haven't come back yet, so you have to go and have a look!" Wang Cuihua said in time.
interrupted the conversation between father and daughter.
In her mind, they didn't know the year of the monkey until they built the house, so it was useless to argue now.
"Let me go see them! Xiaoxue is warm at home!" Bai Daliang was also worried about the children and hurriedly prepared to get off the kang.
"Dad! Go back and lie down! What did I say before? I asked you to pretend to be more like you, but you still have to go out to find someone. Let grandma know about this, and Mom will never have to do confinement in the future! Our family will have enough to eat.
Stop eating!" Staring at her frustrated father, Bai Xue said angrily, "I'll go look for them later! Let mom lock up all the things I bought!"
"Okay, okay! Dad made the wrong daughter! But doesn't dad also feel sorry for you? You go to town again, and you come home and do this and that, so you don't have a good rest!"
"I'm fine. As long as grandma doesn't come to the house to make trouble, nothing will happen to me!" Bai Xue was moved.
"Mom! I said two days ago to buy a pair of cotton shoes for each of you, and I bought them back! Take a look quickly!" In the end, Bai Xue dumped the sack directly in front of Wang Cuihua, and all the shoes fell.
Out.
"Oh, so many shoes..." Wang Cuihua exclaimed.
"Mom, quickly, put all the shoes in the cabinet! Then lock it!" Bai Xue took out the lock and key and handed them to Wang Cuihua, saying that she must not take them out when grandma comes.
"Okay, okay! Mom, lock it!" Wang Cuihua didn't dare to delay, and quickly put the shoes in pairs in the kang cabinet, and couldn't help touching the shoes and admiring them.
"Girl, the fur inside these shoes is really warm and soft. Mom has never seen shoes like this..."
"I bought this from a big city. We must have never seen it before! But Mom, just tell people when you see them! I don't have the ability to do so much to your daughter!"
Bai Daliang also sat aside and watched, and the couple couldn't put it down.
"Okay, remember to lock it up quickly. I'll go see why the four of them haven't come back yet!" Bai Xue said and walked out.
Around her neck is the scarf Zhang Yuan gave her. It is warm and has a nice smell.
From a distance, she saw several small children walking towards each other carrying a bundle of firewood, but something seemed wrong. The children were dirty and Bai Ruxia was limping a little.
"Xiaoyun Xiaoxia...hills and rivers!" Bai Xue walked over and shouted.
"Sister..."
"Sister is back."
When the four little ones saw their eldest sister, they were all very happy and walked quickly with firewood on their backs. Only Bai Ruxia limped behind.
"Why is Xiaoxia limping? Why are you all so dirty?" Bai Ruxue walked closer and asked.
"Sister..." Bai Ruyun lowered his head at first. He had a very good attitude for a kid who had done something wrong. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have to catch the pheasant, which made Xiaoxia fall down!"
As I spoke, tears flashed in my eyes, and I was about to cry.
"Eldest sister, the second sister also wanted to replenish her parents' health. She saw that you caught a pheasant last time, so she took us to find the pheasant..." Bai Rushan excused Bai Ruyun.
"Are you looking for pheasants? Are you going to the mountains? Didn't I tell you last time?" Bai Xue was a little angry. These four little ones have become bolder, and they are still the ones who are usually the most timid and gentle.
"Sister, we were wrong! We won't dare to do it again!" When Bai Ruxia saw that her eldest sister was angry, she quickly put down the firewood, limped over, hugged her arm and said coquettishly.
"How are your arms and legs? Are they serious?" The little ones admitted their mistakes with such good attitudes that Bai Xue couldn't even get angry.
"It's okay, eldest sister, it's just a minor injury. It will be healed in the time it takes to walk home! If you don't believe it, just look at it!" Bai Ruxia was afraid that the eldest sister would be angry, so she jumped up and down in front of her.
"Okay! You are not allowed to go to the mountains anymore! This is an order! I won't care about anyone who doesn't listen from now on! Do you know? Go home quickly! My parents are worried!" Bai Xue said, picking up Bai Ruxia's firewood and carrying it on his back.
