Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Han Zhaozhao: Okay, don’t even think about entering the space this afternoon. Niu Xiaoyun brought all the needlework with her. She plans to stay at her house for the whole afternoon!

She also had to think about what to do in the afternoon. Maybe she could just knit socks! She hadn't had time to knit her grandmother's wool socks yet. The old lady was still wearing old-fashioned cloth socks that had been worn for several years and had four or five patches on them. Not only did they hurt her feet, but they also no longer kept her warm.

He unbolted the door, opened the door, and let Niu Xiaoyun in. Han Zhaozhao stuck his head and looked into the alley.

"Don't look, there's no one here! I came here by myself, I didn't call Xue Ying, I knew you were annoyed with her."

Han Zhaozhao smiled and closed the door casually, "I'm not stingy and don't like her greed, I'm mainly annoyed that she's a little girl and doesn't know how to maintain hygiene.

She wipes her snot on her shoes and spits everywhere. If I tell her once or twice, she won't remember. If I tell her twice more, she'll think I have too many faults.

I have no choice. I really don't want to offend anyone, but seeing her like that, I always feel uncomfortable if I don't stop her."

"You don't have to explain to me, I'm annoyed with her too! She's just a jerk!

My sister also said that we should try not to bring her home. We just got rid of lice and don’t want her to get infected again.

By the way, Zhaozhao, my mom said that if you go up the mountain to dig mulberry trees again in the spring, let me go with you to dig some for home.

My grandma's house also has lice. A few days ago, my mother went back to her parents' home, and her head started to itch again when she came back. She had to boil some water with lice and wash her head twice, and only then did the lice get rid of them.

Now, my sister and I don’t dare to go to my grandmother’s house anymore. When we go to deliver something, my brother is always the one to chase us away.”

Niu Xiaoyun led the way, lifted the cotton door curtain, and pushed the door into the main room.

Han Zhaozhao: "Why, your brother has a special ability like Xiao Sanzi, so he doesn't attract lice?"

Niu Xiaoyun smiled evilly: "That's not the case, but they both have short hair and might get lice, so at worst we can just shave their heads bald and we won't waste the herbs.

The hundred copies I got from your house are almost used up. My mother hid them all and was reluctant to use them.

When someone in my family found lice in their cotton-padded clothes, my mother asked us to pick them out from the seams one by one, and she was reluctant to open the clothes and use Baibu water to kill the lice. "

Han Zhaozhao didn't want to bring up the subject anymore, so he quickly changed the subject. "Aren't you cold? Come sit by the stove and warm yourself up."

Do you want some water? If you want, pour it yourself. There is freshly boiled water in the thermos and boiled water in the teapot. Pour it into a bowl and drink it.”

Niu Xiaoyun sat down on a chair next to the stove and shouted to Han Zhaozhao without any hesitation, "Don't drink the water yet. Zhaozhao, come on, bring me your grandma's cotton slippers so I can wear them.

My feet are frozen again. Walking these few steps makes them hurt and itch. It’s so uncomfortable!”

Han Zhaozhao quickly went to the shoe cabinet behind the door to take out her grandmother's cotton slippers and handed them to her to change into.

"Do your feet stink? Don't make my grandma's cotton slippers smell like stinky feet!"

Niu Xiaoyun laughed and said, "It's not smelly, it's not smelly! I know you are poor and picky, so I won't change shoes at your house if your feet smell.

Zhao Zhao, did you weave the shoe cabinet in your house yourself? Who came up with this idea? It’s so convenient and beautiful!”

Han Zhaozhao: Nowadays, shoe cabinets have become a rare thing!

"My grandma knitted it! This cabinet has many corners and is difficult to knit. She knitted for several days before she finished this one."

In fact, this shoe cabinet was made by Han Zhaozhao. Her grandmother also thought that her granddaughter was so capable, as if she had become a spirit.

The mother and daughter had a tacit understanding that whenever Han Zhaozhao did something, they would push the blame onto her nipples, and the old lady would accept it and endure it silently without exposing it.

"You don't have to explain, as if I want to move away. I'm not as shameless as Xue Ying, who wants everything from other people's houses.

My grandfather can also weave baskets. Next spring, I will go to the mountain to cut some yellow broom twigs and ask my grandfather to weave baskets for our family.

My grandpa’s craftsmanship is much better than your grandma’s. You can’t even see the seams when he weaves baskets. They must be very beautiful!”

Han Zhaozhao: "That's great! Maybe I'll ask your grandfather to help me weave an exquisite thing in the future!"

Niu Xiaoyun: "Then you have to provide the pattern yourself. My grandfather is a good craftsman, but he doesn't have any good patterns.

By the way, when we start knitting next year, I will borrow your shoe cabinet to show my grandpa. After seeing it, he will know how to knit new patterns. "

Han Zhaozhao agreed. She knew that today's craftsmen are very good. As long as they see a new style with their own eyes, they can imitate it exactly for you, and even develop many new varieties and styles.

As for her shoe cabinet, it only looks creative, but the quality is really not good! She made it just for the convenience of use, there are a lot of burrs, and she didn't clean it. When it comes to details, there are no details!

"Why didn't you go out this morning? If I hadn't seen your front door unlocked at noon, I would have thought you were out fishing again.

If I had known you were at home in the morning, I would have come to play with you."

Han Zhaozhao: Thank you! If you had come this morning, who would have harvested my two acres of soybeans for me?

"What are you playing for? My grandma was sick a few days ago, and I was busy taking care of her. I was so tired that I didn't get up in the morning and slept until almost noon.

Luckily you didn't come, I wouldn't have opened the door for you even if you had. It's winter, it's so nice to sleep in, and the bed is so warm."

The implication is obvious: don't come to play with her in the morning in the future, she won't welcome you even if you come.

Niu Xiaoyun widened her eyes in surprise, "You're sleeping in too? No, in previous winters you couldn't get up every day, but you're not going to sleep in this year, right?

I saw you running outside every day and busy bringing things home, so I thought you had grown a year older and become more sensible and changed your personality.

The New Year hasn't even passed yet, why are you back again? "

Han Zhaozhao took her changed cotton shoes to the coal stove, and placed the soles of her shoes against the stove enclosure to warm them. "What kind of personality do you have? Who doesn't know how to enjoy their blessings? Isn't there anything else you can do?

You know the situation in my family, right? My grandma is old, and she can't do all the housework by herself. Shouldn't I be more diligent and help her more?

My grandma's illness a few days ago almost scared me to death. If anything happened to her, our family would have no chance of survival.

Fortunately, I was lucky this year and caught a lot of fish. I took good care of her every day and fed her with soup and water, which is why my grandma recovered so quickly.

You don’t know, during this period of time, I have been feeling very nervous. I am not afraid of being tired if I do more work, but I am tired mentally!”

These words made Niu Xiaoyun fall into deep thought. Yes! It was not easy for Zhaozhao and his grandson. No wonder Zhaozhao knew how to work so hard at such a young age.

There will be no one in their family to rely on from now on!

Unlike my own family, although we are a little poor and my parents don’t earn much.

But the whole family is together, and their parents take care of everything. They tell them what to eat and what to wear every day, so they don't have to worry about anything at all.

Even who does what work every day is arranged in advance by her mother. They just have to listen to the adults and be obedient.

Unlike Han Zhaozhao, who suddenly became sensible and capable just a few months after her parents passed away.

There was nothing she could do, life forced her to grow up all of a sudden! Alas! Half a year ago, Zhao Zhao was still the most pampered girl in their alley!

Now they can climb mountains and walk down rivers, dare to do anything, and can do everything. They can even handle household affairs on their own.

Niu Xiaoyun thought about how Grandma Han fell ill a few days ago, and how Han Zhaozhao was the only one who took care of the family and the patient. She had to admit that her little friend had really changed!
