Meng Yan's Transformation

"Zhan Mengyan, you are still too young and don't understand human relationships. We are not close relatives to our third cousin, but we are just related. After all, we are also living under someone else's roof. We'd better not meddle in the affairs of our third cousin's family. Letting second cousin Daven go to the hospital to treat his snoring is a matter between them and their father. Others should not interfere. You'd better find a way to move out of your third cousin's house as soon as possible. When winter comes and you move to your own little house, I estimate that your little house will be like an ice cellar. You will not be bothered by the snoring, but you will be so cold that you can't sleep."

While Zhan Zixun was speaking, he turned around and looked at Zhan Mengyan who was still thinking.

"There is a shortage of dorm beds in the school now. I was officially enrolled nearly two months after the start of the school term, and all the dorm beds have been arranged long ago. Now, there will be beds only if some students who live in the dormitory drop out. It is fine if you don't live in the school, and you are not subject to the supervision of the dormitory teachers. Students who live in the school arrive at the dormitory at 9:30 in the evening, and the dormitory teachers ask them to turn off the lights. If the dormitory lights are turned off late, they will be deducted points and punished. I heard from the students in our class who live in the dormitory that in order to study more in the dormitory after the evening self-study, they use flashlights to illuminate their study in the quilt. They have to cover themselves tightly with the quilt, and not a single light can be seen, for fear of being discovered by the dormitory teachers. This winter is not a big deal, but in the hot summer, if you read in the quilt tightly, you will get a lot of prickly heat. I am not afraid of the cold, the cold will make you more energetic. If you can't sleep, you can just read and study. Didn't the ancients have examples of hard work such as hanging the head on the beam, piercing the thigh with a needle, and drilling holes in the wall to steal light? I came to the ice house to study hard, hehe..."

When Zhan Mengyan spoke, she revealed her beautiful vision of the future ice house.

"Zhan Mengyan, you may be laughing now, but you will cry when we move to your cabin in winter."

As Zhan Zixun spoke, he looked at Zhan Mengyan and shook his head helplessly.

Zhan Zixun stayed at his third cousin's house for three nights, but he couldn't stand the snoring of his cousins ​​anymore and moved to school. Because the school dormitory was short of beds, Zhan Zixun had to squeeze into the same bed with Zhang Xincheng.

As autumn turns to winter, the cold wind blows away the yellow leaves, leaving only bare branches swaying in the cold wind...

Zhan Mengyan's hut also stood firm in the cold wind. The cold wind swirled in the cracks of the wall, making a whimpering sound, as if it was a whisper on a winter night, telling a cold story.

The sound of the wind shuttled through the cracks in the wall, bringing with it a bone-chilling chill that made people shiver. The cold wind was like a knife cutting through clothes and reaching the bone marrow, making people feel the severe cold of winter. The cold wind at night was even more violent, blowing the sorghum stalks exposed from the soil on Zhan Mengyan's roof to whistle, like the roar of a tiger or the howl of a wolf, making people feel lonely and nervous. In the cold wind, snowflakes fell like lines of poetry in the sky, each of which recorded the romance and warmth of winter...

After evening self-study every day, Zhan Mengyan returned to her room, turned on the lights, and a world of pure white jade and silver came into view - the walls around her were covered with thick frost, which was dazzling white under the light, emitting a dazzling white light.

The frost flowers bloomed silently at night and quietly attached to the wall, forming beautiful patterns. Zhan Mengyan felt that this was a winter greeting card from nature, conveying the warmth and beauty of winter. The frost flowers have different shapes, some presenting a lush forest, and some presenting a dreamy castle. They are masterpieces of nature, showing the charm of winter in a unique way. Zhan Mengyan observed them carefully, and she found that each frost flower had its own unique texture and pattern, as if telling her their own story. The beautiful frost flowers, shining under the light, are like the stars of winter falling on the earth. Zhan Mengyan is intoxicated by it. The frost flowers under the light are like wearing a gorgeous coat, adding a touch of mystery to the cottage...

The appearance of frost flowers brought more chill to Zhan Mengyan's hut. With its cold and fresh beauty, it showed the power and charm of nature and gave Zhan Mengyan a test to fight against the cold...

In this cold and frosty house, Zhan Mengyan stamped her feet and blew out air with her hands, trying to dispel the biting cold. Her breath turned into white mist and slowly dissipated under the dim light...

The cold air outside seemed to freeze time, and inside the house, this brief warmth became her only comfort. Her body trembled involuntarily, as if every nerve was calling for warmth...

Zhan Mengyan rubbed her frozen and swollen hands and looked at the title of the composition left by her Chinese teacher: My...

Zhan Mengyan unfolded the composition paper and wrote the title: "My Crystal Palace"

I built a small house at my cousin's house as my temporary residence.

Every winter, my little house becomes a "Crystal Palace".

In winter, after evening self-study, I walked into my "Crystal Palace" room in the cold wind, turned on the light, and the frost flowers on the wall showed me an amazing natural wonder. This scene not only shocked people visually, but also brought an extraordinary beauty to the soul. The frost flowers on the wall, with their unique shape and crystal clear texture, seemed to bring me into a dreamlike world of the Crystal Palace...

Frost flowers, like winter elves, quietly bloom on the walls, corners, walls, and even on my bedding in the cold night, just like the pear trees in full bloom in spring, full of vitality. These frost flowers have different shapes, some are like blooming chrysanthemums, and some are like crystal palaces under the sea, crystal clear and endlessly changing. They appear every day! But they are never repeated. Every day, they show the magic of nature in a brand new posture, allowing me to enjoy the wonderful world of the crystal palace under the sea...

When frost flowers covered my small house, this small space seemed to be given life. Under the light, the frost flowers on the wall radiated colorful light, like a rainbow, giving me great visual enjoyment and spiritual shock!

In my "Crystal Palace" hut, the frost flowers all over the house are not only a display of natural phenomena, but also a source of inspiration for artists. Their appearance allows us to appreciate the natural beauty while also feeling the creativity of nature and the diversity of life. My "Crystal Palace" hut, with its unique beauty, has become a beautiful landscape in winter, allowing me to find peace and tranquility in this winter and experience the infinite beauty brought by nature...

"Zhan Mengyan, why aren't you sleeping yet? Turn off the lights and go to bed! It's going to cost a lot of electricity to keep the lights on all night!"

While Yunhan was talking, he got up at night and saw that the light was on in Zhan Mengyan's room. He felt heartbroken - he felt sorry for his family's electricity bill.

Zhan Mengyan stopped thinking when she heard her third cousin's urging voice.

"Uncle, I'm going to sleep now..."

While Zhan Mengyan was speaking, she quickly turned off the lights.

Zhan Mengyan stood in the darkness, surrounded by darkness, and the hut had no windows. She felt an invisible pressure looming over her. She remembered that on the eve of the English competition in junior high school, she stayed up late to memorize English words, and her father scolded her to turn off the lights...

"If I had known that this girl could stay up so late every day, I shouldn't have agreed to let her stay over..."

While Yunhan was speaking, she glanced at Zhan Mengyan's dark little house, then she held onto the wall and staggered back to the main house to sleep.

When Zhan Mengyan heard Yunhan getting on the kang, the heart in her throat finally settled down. She felt like she had also experienced the panic of being caught by the dormitory teacher to turn off the lights at night.

Zhan Mengyan was in the dark, completely blinded. After a while, her eyesight began to adapt to the darkness and she could distinguish the outlines of some dim objects. She groped her way to the kang and lay down in her clothes. The cold came over her, so she wrapped herself in a quilt and continued to compose her composition - "My Crystal Palace".

"Sister Mengyan, are you asleep?"

While Yun Dawen was speaking, he came to Zhan Mengyan with a flashlight.

Zhan Mengyan was so scared that she jumped up.

"Second cousin Daven, what are you doing here? Tell me what you want tomorrow. Go back to the main house and go to bed. It's too cold tonight. Be careful not to catch a cold."

When Zhan Mengyan spoke, she kept her voice low, for fear of waking up her sleeping cousins ​​and third cousin.

"Mengyan, when I cooked dinner tonight, I left a ball of rice crust for you. I wanted to wait for you to come back from evening self-study to give it to you, but I fell asleep while waiting. Just now, your third cousin got up to talk to you and woke me up. Then you remembered to leave the rice crust for you."

While Yunda was speaking, he put the rice crust into Zhan Mengyan's hand.
