do not have?)

It's just that it was a particularly cold day. The north wind started blowing before noon, and the clouds became thicker and thicker, like a pile of old rags that couldn't be washed clean. They became gray, and after a while, they began to float.

snowflake.

It was still small at first, only falling sporadically, but by about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, heavy snow began to fall, and soon the sky and the earth were white.

No matter how much they enjoyed themselves in hardship, the three of them became anxious at this time. They were all thinking about Madam Hui, fearing that she would freeze outside. The girl wanted to send some clothes to her several times, but the old couple stopped her.

"You are not very agile. It's snowing so heavily. If you freeze or fall, your mother will be worried. Instead, go and see if there is any ginger in the kitchen. Chop it up finely and give it to you.

Mom will make a thick bowl of it and drink it when she comes back to relieve the cold."

The girl hurriedly went to do it, but thinking that it was too cold and the old man couldn't bear it, she dragged all the broken tables and chairs left after the fire in the yard to the backyard, chopped them up together with the half of the Xishi Tofu sign, and hugged

Come inside and use it as firewood.

Aunt Shi was still a little reluctant to give up, but Father Shi figured it out, "Just burn it, can it still be used? I just want to say blessings, don't make the fire too big, your grandma and I are not cold, wait until your mother comes back

Burn again.”

"It's okay, let's burn it first. There are more in the yard at the back." The girl told a little lie, but secretly made up her mind that if it was still so cold tomorrow, she would sneak out to collect firewood.

Perhaps they were too worried about Madam Hui, or they had too much trust in their granddaughter, so the old couple didn't notice that the wet wood that had been soaked in wind, frost, rain and dew in the courtyard actually burned extremely well, without even smoking.

Take one more wisp.

On a snowy day, it gets dark very quickly. The family's heart becomes tighter and tighter.

But Hui Niang waited left and did not come back, and waited right and did not come back. Until the first watch of the day, the girl couldn't wait any longer. Holding a broken umbrella, she went to look for the person.

The old couple were also very anxious. Seeing that there was nothing they could do to stop her, Father Shi took off his only big cotton coat and asked his granddaughter to wrap it up tightly. Then he watched her put on a headscarf before allowing her to go out.

It gets heavier late at night, with strong wind and heavy snow.

The girl braved the wind and trudged forward in heavy snow that was almost up to her knees. Even though she was wearing so many clothes, the biting cold wind was still blowing into her thin body like an ice knife.

It was like being chopped into pieces, making every part of the person's body feel cold and painful.

Thinking of Hui Niang working hard for the family's livelihood in such a severe cold day, the girl bit her lips that were turned purple from the cold, becoming even more impatient to find her mother as soon as possible.

Fortunately, we had just walked out of two lanes, and through the lights of other people's houses, we saw a familiar figure in a raincoat, holding on to the wall and limping back.

"Mom! Mom, what's wrong with you?" The girl cheered in surprise and joy. She got the strength from nowhere and hurried forward to meet her.

"Slow down! Read blessings, please slow down and skate carefully! Mom is fine, she just fell!" Huiniang's voice was dry, showing extreme exhaustion, but her worry and anxiety for her daughter were not reduced at all.

The short journey seemed so long to her. When her daughter finally came to her, Madam Hui scolded her, "It's snowing so hard, why are you staying away from home? Why did you run out?"

The girl held up a broken umbrella to cover her mother, "Aren't I worried about you? Why did you wait until now to come back?"

Huiniang's voice suddenly darkened and she said in a low voice, "We'll talk about it when we get back."

The girl knew that there must be an accident, and it was not convenient to ask questions outside. Supporting her mother, who was about to freeze into a popsicle, the mother and daughter braved the wind and snow and returned home with difficulty.

When they entered the house and looked under the bright lights, the whole family was shocked.

Huiniang was soaked all over her body, and there were scratches on her hands and forehead. Her whole face was pale, cold and tired, and she looked extremely embarrassed.

Father Shi's heart sank, "How did you do this? What happened today?"

Huiniang looked at her daughter and forced out a forced smile, "Nianfu really got it right!"

Speaking of today's experience, Huiniang felt that it was like a nightmare.

As soon as she arrived at Ouyang's house today, before she could go to the third wife to return the pair of earrings, she was stopped by Sister-in-law Zou in the kitchen. She took her to the backyard with a half-smile, saying that the New Year was approaching.

The Ouyang family had a kind heart and wanted to offer some dried tofu and other items to the surrounding temples. Then they pointed at the large vat of soaked soybeans and asked Hui Niang to grind them, without even giving them a little donkey.

Huiniang finally believed that what her daughter said was true. However, she wanted to go to Sister-in-law Zou to intercede, but she refused to pay attention to her at all and only urged her to work. Huiniang had no choice but to start work.

When Aunt Shi heard about it, she was so distressed that she burst into tears, "You silly kid, you just quit your job and come back when you know people are bullying you! Why are you still working there as slaves for others?"

Huiniang glanced at the two elders and said, "Where do I want to get those?"

But a pair of cold hands were held by her daughter. Looking at the girl's tearful but understanding eyes, Hui Niang was very happy. With the situation at home, if she gave up her job, she would not be able to work in this cold winter.

Yes, is it really possible for the whole family to drink the northwest wind?

So Hui Niang refused to elaborate on what happened next for fear of worrying the old man. She only said, "Actually, it's easy to work and I don't feel tired at all. The eldest young master of his family is really a good person. He lives next door to the backyard."

In that house, after hearing that I had been working hard for a long time, and then it started to snow so heavily, they sent someone to ask me to go and have a rest. I hadn't finished my work at that time, and I didn't dare to rest for fear of causing trouble to others. The eldest young master of his family then

The messenger brought his horse and ground the remaining beans for me, and lent me a raincoat. I will not come back until the grinding is finished."

She looked at her daughter again and tried to smile, "But before I leave, I listened to your advice and gave the third wife the pair of earrings. I thought that the third master was probably at home at this time, so I didn't enter her room.

I just quietly gave the things to the little girl at the door outside, and then told the little girl what your godmother said. When the little girl came out, she said that the third wife asked me to continue going tomorrow. It was obvious that everything was fine.

.”

Seeing her pretending to be relaxed, Aunt Shi opened her mouth, but no more words came out.

Tomorrow is the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, and we will start celebrating the New Year. According to the general practice, if Hui Niang works part-time for others, she should receive a red envelope and have a holiday. But now that the third wife said this, it is obvious that Hui will have to work for the whole year.

Mom went to Ouyang's house to help, and she was tired of this.

Seeing that the two elders were silent and sad, Hui Niang tried her best to smile again and said, "Okay, I'm exhausted today, so I won't talk to you anymore. Say blessings, come over and help Niang go back to sleep, you can eat by yourself, I'm here

Ouyang's family has eaten it, so there's no need."

But her pale face looked like she had eaten. She probably hadn't had a sip of hot soup all day, right? But the girl didn't say anything. She bent down and almost used all her strength to help her limp mother up.

He helped her back to the room.

But how could the two elders left behind not see what was going on? They looked at each other and shed tears.

After returning to the room, Huiniang no longer had the energy to pretend, and the fatigue on her face was clearly evident, "Nianfu, please take off your clothes for me, I really can't move."

The girl held back her tears and responded with a thick nasal voice. She first helped Madam Hui to lie down, then went to the kitchen and poured two eggs into the brown sugar and ginger soup she had cooked earlier, then mixed some flour to make a bowl.

Sweet and spicy pimple soup was brought to feed her.

Huiniang was so tired that she couldn't even open her eyes. She had no idea what she was eating, she just kept swallowing mechanically, but the look of her wolfing down made the girl feel even more sad.

After she finished eating, the girl brought hot water to Hui Niang to wipe her body. After it warmed up her cold body, the girl felt relieved to light up the brazier in the house so that her mother could sleep easily.

She turned around and served her grandma and grandpa for dinner, and kept comforting the old couple, telling them not to worry too much. After the whole family fell asleep, the girl locked the door and turned off the lights, hugged the quilt and slept with Hui Niang, trying her best to give her as much as possible.

A little warmth.

The snow stopped falling at midnight. But when the girl woke up early in the morning, she saw Madam Hui lying there with flushed cheeks. She felt her forehead was burning when she touched it with her hand. It was obvious that despite all the precautions she had taken yesterday,

The cold air still entered my body and I had a fever.

The girl immediately jumped out of bed, opened the door and was about to call the doctor, but Hui Niang woke up and refused to let her out. "You are not allowed to go out in such a cold day! Mom is fine, go back and do some work, and you will be sweating."

alright."

Seeing that she wanted to go to Ouyang's house, Aunt Shi was so anxious that she shouted from the next door, "Mother Hui, what kind of work can you do if you are so sick? Forget it! There is still some food at home, but if it doesn't work, I will give you your newly made cotton clothes."

Pawn, let’s get your illness checked first. Even if I go to beg for food, I can’t let you two go hungry!”

"What nonsense are you talking about? We can let go of this old face. What do you want the children to do?" Father Shi's words left Aunt Shi speechless.

Yes, they can beg for food regardless of their face, but their granddaughter is already engaged and is a wealthy family in the city. How can she be allowed to have a pair of beggar grandparents?

I heard Father Shi say again, "Nianfu, you'd better go find Aunt Li and sell our house. Although this house is worthless if it burns down, this piece of land is still worth a few dollars. Let's let it go.

All right, let's move after this winter."

The girl suddenly stood up and said, "Grandma and grandpa, don't worry, I have a way. Mom, just lie down peacefully. I'll go talk to Ouyang's house!"

"You kid, what are you going to do..." Madam Hui still wanted to get up, but as soon as she raised her head, she felt that her head seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms, and her eyesight turned black. She fell down again, and she didn't even see clearly that her daughter was so thin.

The little figure disappeared outside the door.

Not long after, Aunt Li from next door came over with her eldest granddaughter, twelve-year-old Hongyu, "You guys, please don't be anxious. I just came to my house and told everything. I let his father take care of the child."

Go to Ouyang's house for Nianfu and ask a doctor later. Hongyu will stay here. If anything happens, just call her. Hongyu, go to the kitchen and make breakfast."

Things have become like this, and the three members of the Shi family have no choice but to hope that their granddaughter can go to Ouyang's house to take a few days off. But they didn't expect that when Uncle Li came back with the doctor, he told them, "Your family wants to

Fu said that she was willing to work there instead of her mother, so the Ouyang family kept her."

When Hui Niang heard this, she was extremely shocked. How could the Ouyang family's work be so easy? She was about to get up immediately. When the doctor saw this, he said angrily, "Are you not willing to die? If not, then what?

There’s no need to invite me to come and take a look!”

Uncle Li hurriedly stopped Hui Niang and said, "Listen to what I have to say. Your family is very clever at reciting blessings. She told people that she was too young to do any delicate work. She could only make fires, but somehow she just

She made sense. I saw that making a fire was not tiring and I couldn't freeze, so I left with peace of mind. Before leaving, she asked me to tell you, don't worry about her, she will take care of herself. But Huiniang, you must listen to the doctor.

If so, it’s better to take medicine. Otherwise, what will happen if you give her a child without a father and a mother?”

The last sentence hit Huiniang's heart hard.

He lay down without resisting and asked the doctor to check his pulse and prescribe medicine. He only hoped that he would get better after just one dose, but he was more concerned about Ouyang's daughter. He had suffered a lot at such a young age, she was so small.

At such a young age, can you cope with it? e=《Celebrating the Harvest Year》]
