The next day, Qiao Baiyu and Shan Fangbin woke up early. After all, being outside is no better than at home. Even though they went to bed late last night and were tired from exercising, it is not easy to sleep late on New Year's Eve.

Qiao Baiyu was the first to get up, Shan Fangbin refused to get up for a long time, it was too warm under the quilt, and it was too cold outside.

After Qiao Baiyu was fully dressed, he handed Shan Fangbin the cotton-padded clothes and trousers that grandma had prepared for them.

"Get up, anyway, it's the same cold when you wake up early or late."

"No, I want to wear clothes under the quilt, you pass the clothes to me." Shan Fangbin was still reluctant to part with the warm quilt.

"Then I'll help you wear it!" Qiao Baiyu got under the quilt again.

"It's disgusting, the cold wind is coming in!" Shan Fangbin shivered from the cold wind.

The two writhed under the quilt, laughing from time to time.

The uncle was sprinkling water and sweeping the floor in the yard, and the aunt was packing up the bacon to dry. Hearing the movement in the house, they couldn't help but smile at each other.

For breakfast, I ate golden cornbread, steaming potato porridge, and a plate of sweet scrambled eggs.

Shan Fangbin likes to eat farm food very much. He ate two full corn buns and two big bowls of potato porridge, which was more than Qiao Baiyu.

Seeing his great appetite, Qiao Baiyu sighed, "If only you could eat so much at home."

After breakfast, the uncle is going to the town to do errands, and the aunt and grandma are preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.

Qiao Baiyu and Shan Fangbin posted Spring Festival couplets.In fact, Qiao Baiyu was posting alone, and Shan Fangbin stood beside him stupidly, holding the paste for him.

The paste is made by grandma with rice noodles. It is said that the viscosity is quite high, and it will not fall off even in strong winds.

"This, can I eat it?" Shan Fangbin asked Qiao Baiyu, staring at the sticky white paste in his hand.

Qiao Baiyu was busy putting up Spring Festival couplets, and responded casually: "It should be possible, it's made of rice flour."

"Oh, can I have a taste then?"

"cannot!"

"Why? Don't you say you can eat it? I really want to try it. It looks delicious."

"no!"

After posting the Spring Festival couplets, Qiao Baiyu took Shan Fangbin to visit the rural scene, and took him on the small road beside the field. The empty field stretches as far as the eye can see. Standing on a high place, you can see the quiet village and the quaint houses. Old trees, frozen ponds.

Shan Fangbin has never been to the countryside, and everything feels very new.Holding hands by Qiao Baiyu, he walked slowly in the field, and the branches of the trees were covered with beautiful ice flowers.

Shan Fangbin gently touched the fragile ice flower with his hand: "It's so beautiful."

Qiao Baiyu leaned over, but he didn't know that the ice flower fell to the ground with all his strength: "It's so fragile!"

When returning home, just in time for a hen at home to lay eggs in the nest, Shan Fangbin stopped and concentrated on watching the whole process of the hen laying eggs.

Qiao Baiyu accompanied him: "Hey, isn't it impolite for you to watch someone lay eggs like this?"

Shan Fangbin didn't speak, and watched the hen lay an egg with great seriousness and concentration, and then the aunt took away the steaming egg.

Shan Fangbin showed a look of unbearable expression, and said to Qiao Baiyu: "Hey, I'm too embarrassed to eat eggs, it's so difficult to lay eggs, we seem to be eating its babies, how cruel!"

"Hehe." Qiao Baiyu smiled helplessly. "You think too much."

After lunch, Qiao Baiyu took Shan Fangbin to the cowshed to visit the only cow in the family.It was too cold to pull it out, so Qiao Baiyu and Shan Fangbin stood outside the cowshed watching it graze.

"It's so beautiful. It has a pink nose, transparent blue eyes, and long white and yellow hair. Hehe, why is one of its horns straight and the other curved?" Shan Fangbin stared at it for a long time.

"Are you talking about a cow?" Qiao Baiyu felt that he described the cow as if he were a foreigner.

Qiao Baiyu grabbed Shan Fangbin's hand and touched the cow. The cow didn't seem to respond much. Even though they touched it twice, it made a "moo" sound from time to time, which made Shan Fangbin laugh out loud.

In the afternoon, everyone made dumplings together, and Shan Fangbin obviously made better dumplings than Qiao Baiyu. The aunt held Qiao Baiyu's "masterpiece" and shook her head with a smile: "Bai Yu, your dumplings will turn into slices of soup after cooking!"

Grandma also asked about Nao Nao: "Why didn't you bring Nao Nao?"

"Nao Nao is too small, and it's too cold, I'm afraid it will freeze!" Qiao Baiyu explained. "Wait until next time. When we come again in summer, we will definitely bring Nao Nao and show you."

The reunion dinner in the evening was dumplings, and I also fried a few dishes and made a fish.After dinner, everyone gathered around the stove to watch the Spring Festival Gala. When they were laughing and laughing, Qiao Baiyu saw Shan Fangbin's full of thoughts in a blink of an eye, and knew that he must be trying to make trouble again.

Grabbing his hand, she got closer to him, hugged him, and smiled.

Shan Fangbin smiled at him, expressing that he was fine.

When the New Year's bell rang, the family set off firecrackers outside, crackling, the New Year is here!

The uncle also prepared some bamboo knots on the ground according to the local folk customs, and asked Qiao Baiyu and Shan Fangbin to step on them vigorously, making a creaking sound, intending to grow steadily.

In the third year of junior high school, they decided to go back.

Early in the morning, grandma, uncle and aunt came out to see them off, Qiao Baiyu was reluctant to part.With tears in her eyes, grandma told him repeatedly: "If you have time, you must come back more often."

Qiao Baiyu took the old man's hand and promised: "Well, if I have time, I will definitely come back often."

On the way back, the two held hands and stepped on the beautiful ice and snow, and the ice surface was trampled.
