Kneel down and beg to return to the field

Since those two days, Wei Lai and the others took advantage of the good weather to send New Year's gifts to each family, and they were busy arranging the Spring Festival couplets and the like, but the weather suddenly cooled down in the next few days. The heavy snow continued until New Year's Eve.

Changning Town is located in the south. Although winter is always wet and cold, such heavy snow rarely falls.Perhaps the snowfall on this scale was nothing to Wei Lai who came back from the Northland, but according to Aunt Wei, she had never seen such a heavy snowfall in the past few decades.

It is also fortunate that the preparations for the New Year have been properly prepared a few days ago, otherwise the weather will cause trouble again.

So in the next few days, the members of Wei's family didn't go out again, and stayed at home to avoid the cold with peace of mind. Wei Lai took the opportunity to pester He Zhi to teach her how to practice calligraphy.

It's a pity that General Xiao Wei's talent seems to have been exhausted in the past few years of fighting. Whether it is riding and shooting martial arts or marching and fighting, she can be said to be a talent with extraordinary talents.But when it comes to reading and writing, she really doesn't have much talent. Even if Ms. He has been patiently teaching her, she hasn't made much progress.

Xi Qiu watched it for several days, and almost felt that General Wei did it on purpose.Deliberately write the words in a mess so that her lady can teach her hand in hand, and then deliberately progress slowly to prolong the teaching time, and take the opportunity to eat her lady's tofu!

Looking at Xi Qiu's increasingly strange eyes, Wei Lai knew what the little girl was thinking without guessing.She was a little embarrassed, but it was not as easy for her to practice calligraphy as it was to practice martial arts with a knife, not to mention...

"Don't use such force on your hands, don't tense your arms so tight...how come you can't get rid of it after practicing for a few days?!" He Zhi stood behind Wei Lai, leaned forward and held Wei Lai's hand to help her adjust Her posture was almost holding Wei Lai halfway in her arms, but her attitude was serious enough to make it difficult for others to be ambiguous.

Of course, this bystander does not include Wei Lai.

At this moment, Wei Lai's back was straight and his whole body was tense—even though the winter clothes were heavy, and even though Ms. He's attitude was upright and serious, the delicate body that was pressed against her back, the catkins covering her hands, and The soft voice and slightly confided breath that came to her ears from time to time made her distracted, and her ears gradually turned red.

"The pen is about to break!" He Zhi didn't seem to know Wei Lai's nervousness, she frowned slightly and patted Wei Lai's hand tightly holding the pen holder: "Let go."

Wei Lai obediently put down the writing brush that was lucky enough to be preserved in his hand, and felt the strength of leaning on his back recede, he was finally relieved a little, and his body relaxed a lot.It was only after she relaxed that she realized that in this cold winter day when the snow was flying heavily, she had actually drenched the back of her clothes with sweat!

So, why did she ask Miss He to teach her calligraphy on the spur of the moment?This is simply asking for trouble... Although she doesn't really hate such hardship...

Well, from a certain point of view, the little girl Xi Qiu did not wrong her.

He Zhi straightened up and stood behind Wei Lai, naturally she would not turn a blind eye to Wei Lai's obviously relaxed posture.So those beautiful eyes flickered slightly, and at an angle that General Xiao Wei couldn't see, Miss He slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, and there seemed to be some amusement in her eyes.

But that expression only lasted for a short moment, and when Wei Lai turned around with a frowning face, she had already restrained herself, and she still looked at Wei Lai with a gentle smile in her eyes: "What's the matter? Why is A Lai frowning? "

General Xiao Wei naturally didn't notice anything wrong. She asked He Zhi with a bitter face: "Jin Rui, do you think I'm stupid? It's just practicing calligraphy, and I can't do it well." She didn't Dare to say that I am absent-minded.

He Zhi didn't blame Wei Lai, but comforted her: "Even to practice handwriting, talent is needed, otherwise everyone can become a great master? It's just that talent is not here, but hard work can make up for weakness. More practice is always beneficial. .”

Wei Lai nodded after hearing this, and felt that what Miss He said was quite reasonable.It's just that she looked back at the pen and ink on the table, and then looked up at He Zhi standing beside her. She always felt that things were not that simple...

※※※

After a while, it was New Year's Eve, and Wei Lai's handwriting still didn't improve much.

On the morning of New Year's Eve, when the sky was still dark, Wei Lai was still the first to open the door in the small courtyard of the Wei family.

As soon as the door was opened, a gust of cold air rushed over.Even though Wei Lai had long been used to the cold in Beizhou, he couldn't help shrinking his neck at this time, almost wanting to turn his head and crawl back into the warm bed.

The exhaled breath condensed into a white mist in the air, adding a bit of chill for no reason.Wei Lai raised his eyes to look outside the door, and as expected, it was a snow-white world.The snowflakes in mid-air are swirling one after another, as if there is no time to stop.

At that moment, she almost had the illusion that she was still in Beizhou.

However, that was an illusion after all, she is not in Beizhou right now, but at home in Changning Town.There is no trumpet blowing company here, only a peaceful and peaceful courtyard. In the two rooms next to her, one lives in her most important mother, and the other lives in the woman who makes her heart flutter.

Just thinking about it this way makes my heart feel warm, and looking at the thick layer of snow, I don't feel it's an eyesore.

The snow in the past few days has indeed been heavy, at least in Wei Lai's memory, the snow in Changning Town has never been so thick.The snow I saw this morning started to fall from yesterday evening. It wasn’t that big at first, but it seemed that it had been entangled all night. Now it’s getting bigger, and the snow in the courtyard is as high as a calf. .

This amount of snow cannot compare to the waist-deep snow in Beizhou, but it is extremely rare in the relatively warm south.

Standing in front of the door, Wei Lai stared at the white snow in the courtyard and walked away for a while, always having a bad feeling in his heart—this kind of heavy snow may not be a big deal in Beizhou, but in the south, it can be regarded as a snow disaster. up.

Such thoughts came up vaguely, but were suppressed by Wei Lai in an instant.She doesn't know about other places, but Changning Town hasn't been affected by the heavy snow for the time being. Maybe it's her worrying about the snow disaster or something?

Thinking that today is New Year's Eve, Wei Lai didn't want to think about those messy things to spoil his mood.She picked up the shovel standing outside the door and began to shovel snow, from her door to the kitchen door, from the kitchen to the house of Mrs. Wei and He Zhi, and gradually shoveled in the entire snow-white courtyard. There is a dark path connecting all places.

There is still a lot of snow in the courtyard, but the sky has gradually brightened.

There was a sound of "squeak", and Wei Lai, who was still buried in shoveling snow, looked up, but it was Mrs. Wei who opened the door and came out.

"Mother, why do you get up so early? It's so cold, you should sleep more." Wei Lai looked up at the sky, and felt that it was still early, and Aunt Wei really didn't need to get up so early.

Aunt Wei looked at her but smiled: "Today is New Year's Eve, there are a lot of things to do, it's not too early." As she spoke, she looked at the path in the courtyard that Wei Lai had shoveled out, and then said: "You can walk in the courtyard." All right, don't waste your energy, I'll go and boil some hot water for you."

Without waiting for Wei Lai to say anything more, Aunt Wei went to the kitchen, her legs and feet were completely incomparable to when Wei Lai just came back.The so-called "people are refreshed on happy occasions" is probably the case.

But after a while, Aunt Wei came out again carrying a wooden bucket, with a rather helpless expression on her face: "Ah Lai, go fetch a bucket of water from the well, the water tank is frozen!"

Wei Lai was also taken aback when he heard the words, apparently he had never encountered such a thing at home.But she didn't think much about it, and after a word of approval, she took the bucket and went to fetch water from the well. She couldn't help but feel glad that she came back a year ago, otherwise Aunt Wei would have had a hard time with this year's weather, maybe It's hard to even drink hot water.

In just a short time after dawn, the whole Changning Town seemed to come alive, people's voices gradually came out from the neighbors of the Wei family, and the atmosphere of New Year's Eve gradually permeated...

The author has something to say: General Xiaowei said: I was wrong, in fact, there are beauties (hand in hand) to teach, which is the real reason why I can't practice calligraphy well! ! !
