Chapter 24 It’s snowing

Early the next morning, it was completely white outside.

Large swaths of snowflakes fell from the dark sky.

In an instant, the mountain villages and fields were covered in heavy white snow.

The willow trees on the back mountain swayed with the biting northwest wind, making a sharp and piercing whistle.

Tang Ningning woke up, tucked the children into bed, put on their clothes and got off the kang.

'Mother---it's snowing.' Gu Yan usually wakes up early and wakes up as soon as he hears the slightest movement.

Tang Ningning kissed her little cheek and said, "Good girl, go and clear the snow. You can sleep a little longer."

Tang Ningning went out and saw that everywhere in the yard was covered in hoarfrost.

The snow on the mountain was blown by the cold wind, and accumulated a lot of snow on this thatched house near the mountain. The roof seemed to be woven into a white net. She went to the kitchen to get a broom and started to clean up the snow on the ground.

"Mom, are we still going to town today?"

Gu Yan had already dressed and got up, walked out and closed the door.

Tang Ningning looked at the vast white field in the distance and sighed in her heart, "I guess Uncle Wu won't be leaving the car this day."

"Then let's not make money?"

"Someone made a reservation for braised food yesterday. It would be bad if you don't go." Tang Ningning frowned in confusion.

Gu Yan thoughtfully took the broom, his bright eyes sparkling, "Mom, Old Man Ge from Dafeng Village next door will go to town no matter what the weather is."

She used to go to the mountains to pick mushrooms every day and sell them in the town.

Every time I meet the kind-hearted old man Ge.

Sometimes, when there were not many people in the car, Grandpa Ge took pity on her and would let her get on the donkey cart.

"Will he pass by our Dayue Village?"

Gu Yan nodded, "Of course, you have to pass by it when going to town."

Tang Ningning breathed a sigh of relief, "Yan'er, go and light the fire. Mom will make some porridge in the morning. Let's go back early."

Tang Ningning had something to hide in her mind. After clearing a path in the yard, she went to cook. It was a simple millet porridge with braised meat. After a few people had eaten, Tang Ningning ordered Gu Han.

"It's been snowing heavily in the mountains these two days. Don't go any further. Just stay at home and watch over your brothers and sisters. Your sister and I won't be back early today."

Gu Han patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, mother."

"Eat candy---"

I don’t know who this girl looks like, she especially likes to eat some sweet and greasy food.

Tang Ningning picked up Ge'er and said, "Mom, I went to town to buy some ingredients today and will make snacks for you when I come back. Keeping them is better than sugar."

"Mom's cooking is delicious." Ge'er smiled and narrowed her eyes.

"Mom, what snacks are you making?" As soon as he heard about the food, Gu Zhou, the brat, immediately got out of the bed.

Tang Ningning knocked him on the head angrily, "Mom went to town today to buy some native paper for you to practice calligraphy. Just follow your brother at home and study your calligraphy."

Gu Han had several books, which he had before he came back with Gu Fengtuo.

It was also explained in the original work.

As soon as he heard this, Gu Zhou curled his lips and got into bed.

Tang Ningning pulled down the quilt and exposed her head, "As long as you study hard, my mother will make egg yolk cakes for you today."

Egg yolk cake? It’s delicious as soon as you hear it.

Gu Zhou was immediately happy.

After taking care of these boys, Tang Ningning moved Xiaobai's nest to her home, and then set off with Gu Yan.

Sure enough, in the ice and snow, on the village road, a donkey cart without a shed appeared.

There were several sacks on top, and a trembling woman wearing a blue felt scarf was chatting with Old Man Ge in front of her.

"Grandpa Ge, take the car." Gu Yan smiled and stopped the car with one hand.

Old Man Ge also gathered the villagers of Dayue Village and heard about Tang Ningning's glorious deeds. When he saw her, his face still looked a bit foul.

A face full of grooves showed dissatisfaction.

The hand holding the reins turned red and purple from the cold.

"Hello, Uncle Ge."

Tang Ningning naturally knew what he meant and took the initiative to say hello.

I handed over two copper coins and got on the bus.

Got in the car.

I heard the woman getting angry and said, "I heard that an unscrupulous descendant came out of Dayue Village a few days ago who beat his sister-in-law. Do you still have the nerve to ride in the car now?"

Tang Ningning pursed her lips.

Gu Mei married into Dafeng Village a few years ago, and it seems that her story has been widely publicized.

"Aunt Zhou, that's not the case. My mother is very good. It was my aunt who beat my brother and sister. My mother was so angry that she went to argue." Miss Gu Yan was anxious.

Neither of them obviously believed it.

"Oh, you taught your children bad things and started telling lies."

"His aunt, don't talk nonsense, Yan'er is a hardworking girl and a good child." Old Man Ge retorted.

Aunt Zhou curled her lips.

"Uncle Ge and Aunt Zhou, I know that they are also kind to the child. However, that day, the whole village saw it. It was the sister-in-law who injured my child. I was so angry that I went to the old house to argue.

of--"

"Everyone in the villages around here knows that as soon as my husband-in-law left, the five of us, mother and son, were kicked out and settled in a thatched house in the back mountain."

"But they still want to slander my reputation. How can the children not know whether I am good or bad to them? In the past, I asked Yan'er to sell mushrooms because I was obsessed with making more money. But now
