Chapter 220

The next morning, when Wang An took the yellow paper to the latrine, he found that snow larger than corn kernels was falling from the sky!

And in the courtyard, the road that had been swept before was now buried by snow again.

But the latrine must be visited, so Wang An's big feet were inserted directly into the snow.

At this time, the snow had already reached the calves, and because Wang An came out of the latrine in a hurry, he just wore a pair of low-top shoes.

Walking in the snow now, the snow immediately got into the shoes, and the icy feeling made Wang An tremble instantly, and then he took a cold breath.

Suddenly, Wang An felt that something was wrong, because his back gate was about to be lost...

The snow in the Northeast falls as soon as it says it will; it can be said that it depends entirely on the mood of God.

If the mood is good, it will snow a little for three or five days, which won't delay anything; if the mood is bad, it will keep snowing, snowing hard; occasionally, it is not uncommon to snow to the waist.

But the Northeasterners have "become accustomed to it" and are very calm; let it snow however it wants; no one takes snowing seriously at all!

However, when it snows heavily, it will make everyone stay at home honestly, but as long as the bed is heated, and you hide in the house, it is also quite good.

This snow is now to the calves, and entering the mountains is barely possible, but animals will not leave their nests at this time, so hunting in the mountains is purely redundant.

Only when animals are hungry and can't hold on will they come out to find food, but the ability of animals to endure hunger is definitely not something humans can compare to.

After a while, Wang An squatted there, and then unhurriedly took out a cigarette and lit it.

In the smoke, Wang An thought of a good poem he saw in a public toilet in his past life; he didn't know who the poet was, but it was written quite well:

Feet on both sides of the Yellow River,

Holding secret documents in hand,

Machine gun fire in front,

Artillery fire behind!

I have to say, this battlefield is described quite well; even if you have nothing in your stomach, you want to squat there and brew some shit.

Just as Wang An was secretly pondering, the village head in front, Sun Da, said: "Who wants these fishing nets? The big ones are 10 yuan each, and these small ones are 5 yuan. Accountant Li, keep good records, okay?"

Cold, too cold, really too damn cold; not only were his feet icy, but mainly his butt was frozen numb!

After recovering, Wang An started washing his face and brushing his teeth, and then sat at the dining table with his family.

Rice porridge and two-mixed-flour steamed buns are the staple food; stewed green sheep meat with cabbage and stewed wild boar meat with sauerkraut are the dishes; of course, there are also radish pickles and vegetables dipped in sauce.

"Big Brother, I want to put some sugar in the porridge," Wang Xiaoli said in a low voice, and Wang Xiaomei and Mu Xueting also showed expectant little eyes upon hearing this.

Wang An subconsciously looked toward the box and replied: "If you want to put it, just take it yourself; isn't it in the box... eh? Xueqing, where is our family's sugar?"

The sugar in Wang An's house is packed in a canned food bottle and usually placed on the box, but the canned food bottle is now gone.

Mu Xueqing looked at Liu Guilan and said softly: "Seems like it's gone."

That's what she said, but that's obviously not what she meant, because the sugar was hidden by Liu Guilan.

Wang An definitely didn't care about that much and said directly to Liu Guilan: "Mom, where did our family's sugar go? Xiaoli and the others want to eat it."

Hearing Wang An say this, Wang Xiaoli timidly glanced at Liu Guilan a few times, and then said to Wang An: "Big Brother, it's delicious even without sugar in the porridge."

Because Mu Xueting was there, Liu Guilan didn't get angry, but said to Wang Xiaomei not very kindly:

"You don't even like rice porridge anymore? We used to eat corn porridge and corn cakes every day, why are you so troublesome now?"

Hearing her mother say this, Wang Xiaomei's aggrieved little tears fell immediately, but she didn't dare to look up at her mother.

Wang Xiaomei said aggrievedly and insincerely: "I said rice porridge is delicious even without sugar."

Liu Guilan said in a flat but majestic tone: "Then eat your meal quietly, don't ask for this and that."

The occurrence of this scene made Wang An feel a bit of toothache and also a bit helpless. His mother was not wrong to do this, because the family's life before was indeed not very good, and his parents had been frugal for half their lives, wanting to save everything, and the concept of saving had also formed a deeply rooted habit.

Not to mention anything else, there were not many rice grains in the porridge bowl...

Little sister Wang Xiaomei was not wrong either; she was just a 5-year-old child, and just wanted to put some sugar in the porridge; this was not a high demand, and it was not a big deal at all.

After all, there is sugar in the house, and besides, the degree of wealth in Wang An's house might be at the forefront of the entire DJ County, so there is no need to be so frugal.

You must know that excessive saving is stinginess.

Wang An thought for a while and said to his mother: "Mom, our family's life now can be considered okay, right?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Liu Guilan became happy immediately, excitedly gesturing with her thumb and saying: "That's a must; in the entire Xing'an Commune, our family must be this."

Wang An followed Liu Guilan's words and said: "Mom, then what do you think our family is still missing?"

Liu Guilan frowned and thought for a while and said: "Our family has everything we need; we are not missing anything now."

Wang An immediately said with a smile: "Mom, our family is short of sugar now."

Liu Guilan said without thinking: "If we are short, just buy it; it's not like we don't have..." Speaking of this, Liu Guilan suddenly reacted.

Staring with big eyes, she scolded Wang An with a smile: "You brat, you even dare to play tricks on your mother."

And at this time, Wang Dazhu, Wang An, and Mu Xueqing had already laughed out loud.

Hearing the laughter, Liu Guilan didn't get angry and took out the canned food bottle containing sugar from the bed cabinet.

Seeing the sugar, the three little girls were instantly happy, and Wang Xiaomei's tears instantly retracted.

I have to say, the attraction to children is absolutely unparalleled!

"Mom, I also want to put some sugar..." Watching the three little girls eating sweetly, Wang Yi couldn't help but say.

"How old are you? You still put sugar in porridge, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?" Liu Guilan, who was happy, subconsciously said to her second son.

Wang An was instantly speechless; his mother had just changed a little, and immediately changed back.

Wang An took the canned food bottle and scooped sugar into Wang Yi's porridge bowl while saying: "Mom, how much money does our family have now?"

Liu Guilan answered suspiciously: "Excluding that bundle, it should be more than 5,000 yuan; what do you want to do?"

Wang An nodded deeply and scooped a small spoonful of sugar into Wang Dazhu and Mu Xueqing's porridge bowls respectively and said: "Oh, then our family is not short of money!"

Then, Wang An naturally scooped a small spoonful of sugar into Liu Guilan's porridge bowl and asked seriously:

"Mom, you say this sugar is 80 cents a jin; how much sugar can our family's money buy?"

After Wang An finished speaking, Wang Dazhu and Mu Xueqing were about to laugh out loud again.

Liu Guilan naturally reacted quickly, staring with big eyes and scolding with a smile again: "You brat, you talk to your mother in circles every day."

After Liu Guilan finished speaking, she stirred the porridge in the bowl with chopsticks, took a sip, and sighed: "This rice porridge with sugar is really delicious!"

Hahaha... The whole family laughed.

After the whole family finished laughing, Wang An said: "So, Mom, our family has money, has everything, so the concept of money must change; what's wrong with eating some sugar? From now on, our family can eat whatever we want, because our family is not short of money, so there is no problem eating anything, don't you think?"

After Liu Guilan finished listening, she rolled her eyes at Wang An and then pretended to be angry: "You can even make a reason for being wasteful, you brat."
