Chapter 309 Building a Snowman
After eating, Zhang An ate his food, and then took Su Ying to feed the Huatou family upstairs.
A few goshawks that were very vicious in the mountains were just like obedient birds in front of Zhang An.
Seeing Su Ying, they may know that the person in front of them is the hostess. They all made a flattering look.
Seeing the silly and cute looks of their family of four made Su Ying as happy as a child.
Feeding strips of meat to them very pamperingly, Su Ying specially cut the pork into strips for feeding today.
If it were Zhang An himself, he wouldn't care so much. He would give each of them a piece and they would eat their own.
After all, when Zhang An came to feed the eagles himself in the past, he would cut them into shreds unless they were young eagles.
Otherwise, just give it to a fish or a rabbit and let them solve it on their own.
After Su Ying had enough fun with Hua Tou and his family, she did not forget the man downstairs who stayed up all night and was diligently hunting rats around the yard.
The big head of the God of War who stayed up late was liked by Su Ying.
Touching such a big furry head, Su Ying felt that this owl was extremely cute.
stroking its head is almost like petting a cat.
Speaking of this, Zhang An discovered that Mimi didn’t seem to come back much.
I don’t know when this guy learned to go out and never come back.
But Zhang An didn’t think about looking for it. This guy would come back if he ran out of food.
Now that he has grown up, he is like a scumbag. He hooked up with many female cats in the village and lived a very carefree life.
After petting the "cat" for a while, Su Ying remembered to feed Hui Qiu meat.
But because this guy was afraid of light, Su Ying didn't cut it into shreds, but gave it to him in one piece.
After all, Su Ying wouldn't be able to pick up the meat strips without using a flashlight.
But it doesn't matter, the gray ball can eat it by itself, and it can see clearly.
Compared with that of owls, human vision at night is simply not on the same level.
After feeding the owls, the winter snow that had not stopped in the sky began to grow heavier again.
"Zhang An, let's build a snowman in the yard. With such thick snow, it would be a waste not to make a snowman."
I had been living in the city before, and besides being a girl, There are not many opportunities to go out and play after it snows.
Not to mention fun games such as building snowmen and having snowball fights.
Su Ying has always seen this in books, but she has never experienced it herself.
"Okay, then let's build a big snowman."
Zhang An didn't care about this. He liked to play in the snow when he was a child and was often spanked by Wang Fang. .
But at that time, Zhang An was very playful. Regardless of whether he was beaten or not, he always liked to go out to play in the snow with others every year.
In fact, Wang Fang whipped him not because he came out to play in the snow.
But because they are very playful and lose track of time while playing.
And these children, every time they come home from playing, their clothes and shoes are soaked.
In that era, no one had a few clothes. It would be strange if he didn’t get beaten.
When he got older, he was no longer interested in these things. When it snowed, he would just say: "It's snowing."
But today, since his wife has spoken, Zhang An naturally wants to accompany her.
Back home, Zhang An found two pairs of boots and gloves to put on.
"It's so dark, where are you going?"
Seeing the young couple changing their shoes, Wang Fang asked curiously.
"Our teacher Su has never played in the snow. I will build a snowman with her."
Wang Fang did not object upon hearing this, but helped turn on the lights in the yard.
"Be careful when playing. Don't get your clothes wet. You may catch a cold easily."
Looking at his mother talking to Su Ying with a smile, Zhang An thought for a moment. Why don't I get this treatment?
"Okay mom, we'll be back after playing for a while."
Su Ying nodded and started looking for tools.
"Stop looking for it, you don't need anything to make a snowman, just two hands are enough."
After that, Zhang An took Su Ying to the yard.
He first picked up a thick ball of snow and formed it into a round snowball.
Then he put it on the ground and kept rolling, gradually turning into a big snowball.
"Zhang An, give it to me and let me push it too."
Su Ying felt her heart itch when she saw a small snow dumpling being rolled into a large one by Zhang An.
After pushing Zhang An away, she pushed the big snowball and rolled it in the yard.
After walking back and forth in the yard several times, Su Ying could no longer roll the oversized snowball.
"Why do I feel something is wrong? This snowball looks like it is long."
Su Ying tilted her head and looked at it. The originally round snowball was rolled into a round shape by her. Oval shape.
"It's okay, it just needs to be like this. Only when the snow is piled up will it look good."
Zhang An hugged the snowball with both hands and began to perform Tai Chi circular movements.
Different from his usual boxing practice, Zhang An let go of his speed and saw the big snowball spinning rapidly in Zhang An's hands.
After a while, the huge snowball not only shrank a bit, but also became more compact.
Zhang An practices boxing every day. Su Ying is not surprised at all, she just thinks he is a bit handsome.
"This can be used to make the lower body of the snowman, just pile it up here."
The big snowball, which is half a person tall, stands steadily in the yard.
After the lower body was solved, the two began to play with the snowman’s head. Su Ying had already started to roll the snowball consciously.
The couple had a lot of fun playing in the yard, and Li Yao stayed at home and became quiet for a while.
I was quickly attracted by the laughter in the yard. I ran out and saw two adults building a snowman in the snow.
"Where are you going? Come back and sit down obediently."
Zhou Lan found that the eldest young master in the family had just settled down for a few minutes and wanted to run outside again.
She used to be reluctant to scold Li Yao, he was so precious.
But now, Zhou Lan found that she couldn't control her voice if she didn't make a louder voice or look more fierce.
Because the Taibao in the family is very naughty now, and he will disappear without noticing.
The two elders, Uncle Li and Li Hongbin, who were next to them, never said a word when they saw this.
Because none of them can control Li Yao at home, only Zhou Lan can.
As Li Yao began to grow up, his family also knew that they would really be unable to control him anymore.
So when Zhou Lan disciplined Li Yao, they never interfered.
At home, Zhou Lan plays the bad guy, and the other three have always played the red face.
"My godfather and my godmother are making snowmen. I want to go over and play with them."
Children are very playful. It has been snowing heavily these days. The children in the village were kept at home.
So Li Yao was indirectly grounded, and it was quite frustrating for him these days.
Seeing Zhang An and the two playing in the yard, I couldn't help it.
“Then go and play for a while and remember to come back.”
Li Hongbin stood at the door and took a look and found that Zhang An and Su Ying were indeed playing in the yard.
When Li Yao heard this, he ran outside as if he had obtained Shang Fang's sword.
“Come back!”
But before he could go out, Zhou Lan’s voice sounded from behind.
Li Yao suddenly stopped trying to run and stood there looking at the Empress Dowager Zhou who controlled the government.
Even if he got Li Hongbin’s Shang Fang Sword, he didn’t dare not listen to Zhou Lan’s words.
"Come here and put on your shoes before going out, so as not to get them wet."
At this time, Zhou Lan found a pair of high-top shoes and asked Li Yao to change them. When Li Yao heard this, he started to laugh.
After changing his shoes, wearing gloves, and a hat, Zhou Lan let him out after he was completely equipped.
"Daddy, I want to build a snowman with you guys."
"Then come quickly."
The little guy ran to Zhang An's yard and looked at the already slightly prototyped snowman. The snowman exclaimed:
“Wow, what a tall snowman, so much taller than me.”
In Li Yao’s perception, none of the snowmen in the book are this big.
Finally, Zhang An made another scarf for the snowman, and then inserted two bamboo strips as arms.
The nose is a relatively short red corn cob, so the snowman is completed.
As soon as Li Yao arrived, the snowman was piled up before he even started.
"Godfather, let's pile another one."
The little guy pestered Zhang An to accompany him to continue the pile, otherwise he would have to go home.
It took a lot of effort to escape, but it would be a shame to go back now.
"Okay, okay, let's build a small snowman next to it."
When Li Yao heard Zhang An's promise, he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Then the two adults and one child started rolling snowballs on the ground, but this time Zhang An didn't do much.
Finally, with the little guy doing it himself, he built a small snowman next to it.
Two snowmen, one big and one small, stand together, looking like an adult holding a child, which is quite interesting.
It’s a pity that there are no smart phones or Moments now, otherwise we can record this beautiful moment in life.
"Godfather, godmother, bye, I'm going back."
After the time was almost up, Zhou Lan's shout came from home, and Li Yao ran home as soon as he heard it.
After playing for so long, the snowman was built. He also had a lot of fun and had no nostalgia.
Zhang An also called it a day, but he went home and took out a bamboo hat and put it on the snowman's head.
"It seems like there's something missing..."
Zhang An looked at the snowman, looking left and right, and then he thought of it.
When I got home, I found a piece of wood and started planing it with tools.
Finally, chop and chop, and a wooden sword is completed.
Zhang An tied up the wooden sword and hung it on the back of the snowman to match the bamboo hat.
It looks like a scene of a martial arts master walking through the snow.
The lonely shadow in Hanjiang is an old friend in the world. Why should we meet before?
Seeing this scene, the first thing Zhang An thought of was Zhao Huaian's line.
At this moment, this feeling, this scene, this picture, coupled with those lines, do have a certain artistic conception.
Zhang An and Su Ying had just gotten home and burned their feet, and then there was a sudden power outage in the village.
For a time, the whole village was dark.
But it’s okay now, no one has many electrical appliances at home.
Zhang An’s family only uses electricity for the refrigerator and popsicles, and now the TV is not running, so the impact is not big.
Unlike later generations, when there is a power outage, the home is almost paralyzed.
Because at that time, induction cookers were used for cooking, and few people still burned stoves.
But after there are more power outages, many people will prepare gas stoves in case of emergency.
Then there are broadband routers. When there is a power outage, the mobile phone network will deteriorate.
After all, the signal is not good in the mountains. On weekdays, everyone tries to use the wireless network at home.
And you can’t play too much with your phone, otherwise there won’t even be a place to charge it.
Anyway, at that time, everyone hated power outages, which greatly affected their lives.
I had already gone to bed early, but now I went to bed even earlier.
After all, sitting around in the dark is no fun.
But I went to bed too early, and I didn’t feel sleepy at all while lying on the bed.
I don’t know why, but Zhang An always feels that he is more energetic today.
So I dragged Su Ying to do her winter vacation homework for a long time, and finally vented a little bit.
Su Ying may have been too tired from grading homework, so she fell asleep.
In other people’s homes, I was basically pushed, and in the end I handed in my homework reluctantly.
But Zhang An took the initiative here and never had to push him. He was indeed a model student.
After resting for a while, Su Ying was sleeping soundly, and Zhang An ran to the space and started working.
Now that he has learned how to make wine, Zhang An wants to brew a batch of it himself.
The methods Huang Erye gave him include grain brewing technology and fruit wine brewing technology.
Generally, people in this area of Hongyan Town are accustomed to drinking rice wine, rice wine, sorghum wine and other grain wines.
But this does not prevent Zhang An from using the fruits in the space to brew a batch of fruit wine.
Fruit wine has a relatively low alcohol content and a sweet taste, which is suitable for most women. Brewed from better fruits, it also has a beautifying effect for women.
Of course, forget about this area of Hongyan Town. The drinking capacity of these women is more outrageous than the last.
Looking at the fruits in the space, Zhang An planned to try his hand and brew a batch.
For example, you can try plums, bayberries, and cherries, but I don’t have a brewing jar ready yet, so I’m not in a hurry.
Anyway, without the jar, the brewing project could not be carried out for a while.
So Zhang An could only open up a paddy field in the space and then plant some blood rice.
After all, in Zhang An's mind, food and wine are the top priority.
The paddy fields Zhang An didn’t open up were too big, just one acre in size.
In space, planting and harvesting are very simple and effortless.
And it doesn’t take long to plant a crop, so it doesn’t take much.
In addition, Zhang An also opened an open space and prepared to plant some corn and sorghum.
At that time, we will also make some grain wine and sorghum wine. After all, these three grain wines have their own characteristics in drinking.
Zhang An had saved some blood rice seeds before, but not many.
So if he wanted to plant it, Zhang An had to cultivate a batch of blood rice varieties produced in space.
We just took this opportunity to cultivate the rice seeds that will be used next year.
After working hard for a long time, I finally planted the first batch of blood rice. It is estimated that we will have a harvest in a few days.
We will expand production at that time, and wait until Zhang An goes to the street in a few days to see if he can buy a batch of earthen jars.
Early the next morning, Zhang An and his family all got up.
Even Su Ying, who usually sleeps a little longer, got up very early this morning.
I guess I went to bed too early last night, so I am very energetic today.
It may be that Zhang An did a good job with his homework last night, so Su Ying looked rosy and energetic when she got up.
After getting up, Zhang An found that there was still no electricity and it had not been delivered.
It is probably because of the heavy wind and snow, and there is a problem with the line somewhere.
Such a long snowstorm will have a great impact on the lines erected in the air.
It seems that if you want to send a call, you will have to wait for several days.
Because things are different now, it is impossible for people from the power supply bureau to perform maintenance now.
Unless there was an order from above, those of them would not have been able to come down for maintenance in the snowstorm.
But it does not affect everyone’s normal life at all. After all, many people have had the experience of lighting an oil lamp before.
It doesn’t matter to Zhang An’s family, they only have a refrigerator that needs electricity.
But it is winter now, the refrigerator cannot be opened, and the temperature inside is about the same as outside.
