Chapter 165 The Warmth of Winter
On the first day of the new year, Qiaozhen led people to kowtow to Mrs. Chen, said auspicious words, ate dumplings at Wang's house, and wentssip for another day. This is how Chinese New Year is, except eating and drinking, just gossiping, nothing else. Farmers are also rare relaxed.

The day is not bad, the sun is warm and comfortable.

Yuhua and Meihua were going back to their parents' house in the second year of junior high school, and Qiaozhen also bought some things and sent them to Wang's house, which was a little bit of meaning to go to her mother's house by herself.

After the fifth day of the lunar new year, it began to snow in the sky. It lasted for two days, and the sky suddenly became cold, making people unable to go out.

"Hey, I knew it, it's spring, my tendons are frozen, it's warm this year, but it's terribly cold after the new year. Fortunately, I went back to my mother's house in the fourth day of junior high school, otherwise it would be a pain to leave my mother's house today. I can't even leave." Zhou sighed while roasting by the fire.

"That's right, I can't stand the sudden cold. Fortunately, my mother is still alive, and I think the house has a lot of firewood, which is enough to burn. Otherwise, I am afraid that my mother will not be able to bear the cold." Sun Juhua also nodded and said.

"Our family has enough firewood. There are no lazy people in the house. We have enough firewood for the whole winter. If it's cold today, our Zhuangzi will be older than his aunt, but we will suffer. Poor." Zhou's expression I couldn't bear it at all.

Yu grandma?Qiaozhen recalled this person in his mind.

"Yeah, your Auntie Yu is a good person, but her life is not good. Her life has been hard enough, and it makes people feel sad when you talk about it. Tell me why she has such a child, and she says she will raise a child to guard against old age, hey , This person's life, I really can't say." Chen also sighed.

When Mrs. Chen said this, Qiaozhen remembered that this Grandma Yu, she is considered a household with five guarantees, and the man she married has been single-passed for several generations, and she has no uncles or brothers.

When a man died in her 30s, she raised the child by herself, which was a lot of hardship.

The child grew up and married him a daughter-in-law. As a result, the daughter-in-law had to separate the family within two years of getting married. She would not live with her mother-in-law, saying that her mother-in-law was hard-working and afraid of overcoming them.

Grandma Yu's son is called Zhang Jiasheng, and he was kind to his widowed mother at first, but then he couldn't stand his daughter-in-law's constant talk, so he sided with her and wanted to separate the family.

There was a lot of trouble at the time, the patriarch and the elders of Zhuangzi went there and scolded the Zhang family. The family has no share, but the daughter-in-law scolded her mother-in-law all day long, beat her, and refused to cook. Live, life is not easy.

Later, Zhang Jiasheng went to the town to do some small business, who knew that his luck was good, and the tossing made him rich. He even bought a yard in the town, took his wife over there, and left the widowed mother alone. Zhuangzili.

When Yu fell ill, she told Xin'er that they didn't come back. If it wasn't for the neighbors to take care of her, she might have died. It passed like this for several years, and they ignored their widowed mother.

Speaking of which, this is also retribution. Zhang Jiasheng's business has grown, but he has not enjoyed it for a few years. A few years ago, he went to other places to buy goods and was cheated. Not only did he lose his savings, but he also lost his life. A guest died in a foreign land.

When the letter was sent back to the town, his daughter-in-law cried a lot, and after inquiring clearly, she sold the shop, and then took a girl and remarried again.

Knowing the news of her son's death, Mrs. Yu almost followed her, but she managed to survive, but she had no relatives around her, no one had money, and she was the only old widow living in the village.

She is old and can't do too much physical work, so she definitely doesn't have too much firewood. I'm afraid it's hard to live in this cold day, Qiaozhen sighed in her heart.

"Mother, why don't we go and see Grandma Yu later, anyway, it's not far away, if you miss, get her some firewood." Qiaozhen asked, feeling sympathetic.

"Zhong, Aunt Yu is so pitiful. She is a good person. She even gave our family two pieces of sweet potatoes in the middle of the year. That's a big deal." Mrs. Zhou agreed.

Mrs. Chen also smiled and asked Qiaozhen to go and have a look. He was also an old man, and his fate had been counted.

Qiaozhen led Jia Shi to Grandma Yu's house. After entering, she saw that the yard was covered with snow, no one cleaned it, and the door of the main room was closed. People should be inside, so Qiaozhen yelled a few times in front of the door.

"Who is it?" an old voice asked.

"Grandma Yu, it's me, I'm Qiaozhen." Qiaozhen replied.

"Come in, the door is unlocked." The old man replied.

Qiaozhen pushed open the door, and a gust of cold air rushed towards him, penetrating into his bones, Qiaozhen shivered, it was colder inside the room than outside.

Qiaozhen arrived at the bedside, and Yu Shi should be lying down. Knowing that someone was coming, she sat up, wearing a cotton padded coat and covered with a quilt, but her face was not good-looking, and her lips were a little black. is frozen.

Qiaozhen hurriedly stepped forward to support Yu Shi, covered her with a quilt, and said, "Grandma, sit down quickly, don't freeze, why don't you set up a brazier in this cold day."

Yu looked at Qiaozhen and smiled, and replied: "It's winter, and it will be cold for many days. The firewood at Nai's house is enough for cooking, so how can we raise the brazier? Sit down, Nai Boil some water for you."

Qiaozhen hastily grabbed Yu Shi and refused to let her go to the field, feeling a little sore in her heart, Yu Shi's cotton-padded jacket was very old and thin, it couldn't keep out the cold, and she had to boil water, it seems that there was no hot water at home , These days are painful.

"No need, grandma, sit down quickly." Qiaozhen covered her with the quilt again.

"You said that you are here, how can you not even let you drink the milk." Yu Shi was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, we are not outsiders, so don't be polite, grandma, have you eaten yet?" Qiaozhen asked.

"Eat it, my grandma is old, and you will be hit if you eat two meals a day." Mrs. Yu is a kind person with a good heart, otherwise she would not have given the Wang family two pieces of sweet potatoes during the disaster year. You must know that they did not eat them at that time Yes, a little bit is life-saving.

"Grandma, don't be sorry for the firewood. I'll bring you some firewood later. Don't worry about burning it. If you get sick from the cold, it's better." Qiaozhen felt sour.

"My dear girl, I have received your beloved grandma. No need. Grandma is old and not afraid of the cold. No one has enough firewood. Don't pull her here. You have a big family." Yu hurriedly stopped her. .

Just as Qiao Zhen was about to say something, she saw a look of pain flashing across Yu's face.

"Grandma, what's the matter with you?" Qiao Zhen hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, it's nothing." Yu refused to say.

"Grandma, I am here to see you on behalf of my grandma and my mother. If you don't tell me, I will let my mother come to see you later." Qiaozhen knew that the other party didn't want to cause trouble for others.

"It's really nothing, it's an old problem, it's just that this leg bend is a bit awkward, this person is like this when he's old, he's dying." Yu Shi said helplessly, he couldn't always let people run to his house.

Qiaozhen frowned, and suddenly she thought, Grandma Yu's legs are probably due to rheumatism. When people get old, they lose their anger and can't stand the cold. She always stays in a cold room, so it's no wonder she has arthritis.

"Grandma, can you go to the ground?" Qiaozhen said and started to look around. She didn't pay attention to it before. There was a bowl on the table, and the bowl was half full of mixed noodles. She touched it with her hand, and the bowl was cold. Grandma just eats this?

"Grandma, you go to my house. Anyway, my house has to raise a brazier every day. A brazier and several people can be hit by the fire. Not to mention anything else, at least there is a mouthful of hot food to eat." , she saw uncomfortable.

"No, Qiaozhen, grandma won't go, we are not relatives, so why can grandma go to your house, don't worry, grandma is in good health, don't worry about grandma." Yu refused without thinking, How could she hurt others.

"Grandma, live in the same village, why do you have to have relatives and relatives to be successful? During the years, Grandma and my family were not related or not. Didn't you give my family two pieces of sweet potatoes? The sweet potato saved Shengzi, we always remember it, now it’s inconvenient for my grandma, shouldn’t I do something?

Besides, my grandma also moved there in a few days, and she didn't have anyone to talk to all day long. If my grandma moved there, the two of you would still have a companion, someone to talk to, that would be great. "Qiaozhen persuaded.

"That's not right, I'm sorry, I can't go." Yu still shook his head.

"Grandma, you can go there. You see, I am not from the Wang family, and I live in Qiaozhen. We have no relatives for no reason, but are we better together than the relatives? If there is a relative, it will be all day long." No one on Qiaozhen's side said about breaking the head, let's go, grandma, I will serve grandma."

Jia Shi also stepped forward to persuade her, she just went to the stove house, there was a cold pot and a cold stove inside, there was no heat at all, and there was no food, just a little firewood, the water in the tank turned to ice, if you don't care, then Grandma will definitely not survive this winter.

"This?" Yu was a little hesitant, she could see that the two of them were sincere, but she was a burden, how could she drag others down!
"Grandma, what my sister-in-law said is that you don't have to have relatives. You can only get married if you get along well together. Grandma will go there first. After this winter, if grandma thinks my house is not good enough to live in, she will move back when the weather gets warmer. No?" Qiaozhen took Yu Shi's hand, her hand was thin and without warmth.

"In the middle, my old lady has a good reward. Coincidentally, I just licked my face and went to Ye's house, and I caused you trouble." Yu Shi's tears came down, she thought she couldn't make it through, thought After exhausting my body, the last bit of oil will go away. Who would have thought that someone would take me back today? Did God open his eyes?
Qiaozhen asked Jia Shi to help pack the things, she went to find the shelf cart, and put a layer of quilt on it, and then the two helped Yu Shi onto the shelf cart, Yu Shi's legs did not dare to walk, the pain was excruciating.

Another layer of quilt was put on it, Jia Shi pulled it, Qiao Zhen pushed it, and they went home.

Qiao really wanted to arrange Mrs. Yu in the side room of the main house, but Mrs. Yu said no, it was the master seat, she couldn't live in it, so she had to live in the wing room in the end, but it had everything in it.The brazier was raised and warmed up.
