Hearing what her brother said, An An's little face collapsed and she hugged herself tightly, as if she refused to take off her padded jacket.

It's not very cold now. I don't have to wear it when it's colder now. Xiaocheng thought of the bitterness of winter, and couldn't help shivering. what.

Gu Chunzhu took An An into his arms, sat opposite Xiao Cheng and discussed with him: This padded jacket is not very thick, you should wear it first, and the mother will make one for you when the New Year arrives.

No one wears cotton-padded clothes outside, so let's keep them until the winter solstice. Xiaocheng looked at Gu Chunzhu with inquiring eyes, as if he was worried, worried that Gu Chunzhu would blame him.

It is rare for this child to talk so much to himself, and Gu Chunzhu feels beautiful in his heart.

She calculated that it would only take three or four days to calculate the winter solstice, and she nodded in agreement.

At night, Gu Chunzhu placed the two children on the bed, lit the charcoal pot, and went to send money from house to house while shaking.

The money for the prawns sold today has not been paid yet. By the way, I only took back a bucket of less than one bucket of river prawns from He Laosan and Mrs. Fu, as well as a pound of crucian carp that He Laosan accidentally caught.

Gu Chunzhu simply washed and climbed onto the bed, but his body was still too cold to stay away from the children. Who knew that An An would roll into her arms all of a sudden.

Mother Leng, I'll keep you warm. The little man nestled in Gu Chunzhu's arms, squinting his sleepy eyes in dependence.

Gu Chunzhu's heart was warm, and he blew out the oil lamp and slept with them.

Early the next morning, she still went to the town to sell river prawns. With yesterday's lesson, Gu Chunzhu didn't know if there would be a jerk, so she slowed down and walked with the villagers who went to town.

Arrived safely in town, Uncle Zheng waved a cigarette stick to greet her.

Gu Chunzhu went out to set up the stall, and entrusted Uncle Zheng to help her look at the stall, so he scooped up a bowl full of river prawns and sent it to the steamed bun shop.

When he came back, he saw a man leaning against his stall with a grass in his mouth. When he got closer, he saw that it was Mr. Long. Mr. Zheng also winked at her. Gu Chunzhu didn't understand what he meant.

Brother Long, thank you yesterday. Gu Chunzhu scooped a bowl full of river prawns from the shrimp bucket, and even handed the bowl to Boss Long, he held his hands there and watched without picking it up.

The iconic broken eyebrow raised, Boss Long gave Gu Chunzhu a deep look, and asked in a playful tone, Didn't you say yesterday that someone would give you money for saving you? You want to kill me with a bowl of river shrimp?

Gu Chunzhu's face turned pale, thinking that he had indeed said to give money in a panic yesterday.

You can use this little money to buy wine and eat. She felt in her arms and took out thirty cents and handed it to Boss Long. Her face was full of pain, but the money was worth it!

Hmph, it's really a small money, a stingy woman. Boss Long glanced at Gu Chunzhu, didn't take the money, spit out the grass roots in his mouth and strode away.

Leaving Gu Chunzhu alone holding the money, is this person just here to entertain her?

After being stunned for a while, Gu Chunzhu took the money back and muttered in his heart, the ancient underworld is really incomprehensible.

Uncle Zheng was just about to ask how Gu Chunzhu got offended with Boss Long, when Gu Chunzhu's business came to the door.

How do you sell shrimp? It's not the same as before, can it be cheaper?

It can't be cheap. These shrimps are all fresh. Just fill them up for you. How much?

Half a bowl.

In the confrontation between the familiar and the customer, Gu Chunzhu took a bowl and fished out half a bowl of shrimp in the bucket, drained the water inside and poured it into the customer's basket, and sent the person away.

Since Niu Buping's stall has ceased to exist, the rest selling river prawns are in twos and threes. The stable stall is Gu Chunzhu's family, and many old customers are used to buying from her.

It took only an hour or so for a bucket of river prawns to be sold, and the one-pound crucian carp also sold for six cents.

After selling everything, Gu Chunzhu went to the grain and oil store to buy some glutinous rice flour and sesame paste to make dumplings on the winter solstice. In the previous life, the winter solstice was to eat dumplings, and she didn't know what Min Chao would eat, so she came as usual.

When he got home, Gu Chunzhu took advantage of the good sun to wash the heads of the two children, and put them in the sun to dry, just like drying vegetables.

Afraid that they would freeze when they took a bath, she boiled hot ginger tea and added some brown sugar to the two little guys.

Mother, make braids, you want good-looking ones. An An came over to stick to Gu Chunzhu with her hair that was almost sunburnt.

Gu Chunzhu had just pulled a few spinach plants from the vegetable garden that looked a little taller, so he could only put them aside and braided An An's hair first, using red rope to divide her hair into several strands, and then each strand was braided. braids.

After tying her hair, An An ran to take a photo in front of the water tank.

Reflected on the water was a baby's chubby face, a beautiful little braid, accompanied by a red rope, An An touched her whip, and said in a milky voice: It will be fine until spring, and spring will come. There are flowers to wear.

You little girl. Gu Chunzhu poked her forehead and joked.

He patted Xiaocheng's head, now he didn't dodge Gu Chunzhu's hand, and when his hair was dry, Gu Chunzhu also tied a ponytail for him.

My legs are healed, let me cook for you. Xiaocheng pursed his lips and was not very good at expressing his happiness, but he was also actively trying to help Gu Chun

Bamboo does things.

Okay, but mother is going to make lump soup today, don't wash the rice, just burn a stove.

it is good.

After talking to him, Gu Chunzhu poured water into the basin and washed the spinach piece by piece.

Except for the mud and insect eyes, this pure natural and pollution-free vegetable is green and pleasant, which makes people happy when they see it.

At noon, the spinach was cut into pieces and fried in a wok. Gu Chunzhu mixed it with flour to make a nugget soup. He dug a few oil residues under the oil jar, and it smelled very fragrant.

After a full meal, Gu Chunzhu wiped the table and asked, Today, my mother is going to Yingzi's mother's house to get some things. If you want to stay at home or go with me.

Let's go together! A loud little voice sounded, and An An hugged Gu Chunzhu's lap.

Xiaocheng didn't say anything, just looked at her with a pair of eyes, Gu Chunzhu understood his thoughts, and said, Okay, let's go together, Xiaocheng will also go.

After finishing the stove, Gu Chunzhu took the lock and locked the firewood door, then took An An and led Xiao Cheng to Luo Xinlan's house.

Mother, sister Yingzi's house has a lot of flowers in spring, but it's too cold now, and the flowers don't come out. An An said with her head tilted in Gu Chunzhu's arms.

Gu Chunzhu touched her braid and coaxed: Next spring, my mother will tell Ying Ziniang and take you to pick it.

Okay! An An clapped her little hands and was happy.
