Chapter 0026 - Charcoal in the Snow 2
Feng Qingxue wiped the sweat stains from exhaustion, and said with a smile: "What is enough, I don't just want your old man's things." If it's really money, I go to the black market to take a turn, and there is no one who is unwilling to buy and willing to exchange jewelry. But you are the second elder, I am afraid that I will not be able to take so much food, so I will use this flatbed truck to deliver the food to your house before dawn. ”
"Thank you so much, girl."
How could Aunt Xu refuse? If there had been an intention, they would not have managed to get them so much food, and their ingredients have caused many people to shun them.
Everyone generally eats two meals a day, and they all get up late, and they dodge along the way in the light wind and snow, but they don't meet anyone.
When they arrived at Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu's house, the three of them shouted luck.
Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu live in a small wooden house next to the public toilet at the back of the department store.
A lonely wooden house, with no yard, low and low, is definitely a portrayal of cold in winter and hot in summer.
Aunt Xu was very calm, and said: "The state has arranged jobs for me and Lao Xu, one sweeps the street and the other cleans the toilet, which is worthy of being made in heaven, and it is very convenient to live here." The tone was full of self-deprecation.
Feng Qingxue sighed and held her hand, "Auntie, it will pass after all." ”
"Yes, it will pass, but I don't know if we can wait until that day."
While they were talking, Uncle Xu first carried the sack into the house, then removed a bed in the house, opened the entrance to the cellar under the bed, poured the grain into the wooden barrel inside, and returned the sack to the wind and snow, all without hiding it from her.
Feng Qingxue didn't ask much, but took out the things in the back basket, "Uncle, aunt, you take it to make up for your body." ”
In addition to a small bag of rice and a bag of millet in the basket, Feng Qingxue also prepared thirty or forty eggs, two pieces of bacon and a dozen sausages for them to eat.
Aunt Xu's appearance and temperament made her can't help but be kind to them.
Aunt Xu covered her mouth, her face full of tears.
"Girl, you are like this, I don't know what to say."
Uncle Xu also felt that he couldn't get the things he was going to use to exchange for food, so after covering the cellar, the wooden bed was moved back to its place, he said something to his wife, and went out.
"Girl, sit." Aunt Xu took Feng Qingxue's hand and asked her to sit on the edge of the bed.
There were no tables or chairs in the house, only a briquette stove and a small bed, on which sat a small iron pot with a few pieces of honeycomb coal piled up next to it, and a wooden box at the head of the bed, on which were placed two pairs of dishes and chopsticks, two enamel jars and a thermos with a bamboo shell.
Aunt Xu took the enamel jar and poured a jar of hot water for Feng Qingxue, "Girl, the hospitality is not good, don't laugh." ”
"How can it be, auntie, everyone's life is very sad." The wind and snow took the enamel jar.
The thermal insulation performance of the thermos should not be very good, the water in the enamel tank is warm, not piping hot, but just in the mouth.
The wind and snow walked all the way, and I was also thirsty, and I drank it in one go, and I didn't dislike it at all.
Seeing that their futon was very thin and the cotton inside had been hardened, Feng Qingxue put the enamel jar in his hand on the lid of the box and whispered: "Auntie, in a few days I will pour you some cotton leather goods to use for winter clothes and quilts." ”
Aunt Xu also sat on the edge of the bed, holding her hand, "Girl......"
Feng Xiaolou noticed that her hands had been trembling slightly, she was excited and moved.
