Thanks for 3000 votes on Chapter 2 of Pink Ticket, happy new year, everyone have a great holiday, muah!
There's still more than half a month before Chinese New Year, Song Jie has finished her final exams and started winter vacation.
This year's weather is extremely cold, and snowflakes have been falling since very early. The accumulated snow on the ground is about a foot thick, and when Song Jie got out of bed, the outside was already covered in silver.
She poked her head out, and the outside air was chilly. She didn't want to leave her bed, so she closed her eyes and dozed off in her quilt. The sound of "whooshing" snow shoveling came from outside, it must be Grandpa getting up. As people get older, they sleep less.
Song Jie can no longer lie in bed, she gets up with a grunt, quickly puts on her clothes, and doesn't let her lazy bones take advantage of the situation.
After washing her face with warm water, putting on her thick gloves and hat, Song Jie came to the yard and saw that Grandpa was indeed shoveling snow.
"Grandpa, I'm coming! If you keep throwing things, my grandma will eat me when she gets back! Hurry up and go inside!" As he spoke, a puff of white mist escaped from his mouth.
"I'm not so weak that I'd get tired from shoveling snow. I'm still robust." The old man refused to admit his age.
"This isn't a landslide, hurry up and go inside, there's not much left." Song Jie took the large broom from Zhao Fu's hand, insisting that he go inside.
Zhao's father had no choice but to agree with her.
Song Jie took a big broom and started "swooshing" away the snow, but Grandpa was still watching from inside the house, so she didn't dare use magic, or else with just one spell, the whole courtyard would be spotless.
But the swishing sound of sweeping the yard was quite interesting, only the sky started snowing again, and large flakes of snow fell straight into people's collars. In an instant, it melted into water, and she had to speed up her pace.
By the time she had swept the yard and the gate clean, a thin layer of snow had fallen again on the already-swept yard. Song Jie stopped sweeping and only cleared a path before going back inside.
The old man was drinking tea. Seeing Song Jie come in, he hastily said: "You must be frozen stiff, quickly come in and warm up by the fire."
Shaking off the snowflakes on my clothes at the door, I entered the house and came to the stove. It was indeed much warmer. The water on the stove had already started boiling with a "gurgling" sound, and the lid of the kettle was rising and falling continuously.
Song Jie quickly got up to go pour water. Zhao's father said: "I'll go, you stay and roast for a while." After finishing speaking, he got up and poured the water into the thermos.
The old man came back, sat on the chair and asked: "Haven't had dinner yet, are you hungry? There's a roasted sweet potato in the stove, take one to try, fill your stomach a bit."
Song Jie listened and went to dig out the drawer under the stove. Sure enough, there were several long red potatoes lying inside, which had already been cooked through when poked with her hand. The aroma of the sweet potatoes was so enticing that it made everyone want to drool.
But the sweet potato was too hot, so she put a paper towel under it before handing one to her grandfather and taking another for herself. She carefully peeled off the skin of the sweet potato and started eating.
These sweet potatoes were bought back and dried in the sun, with a high sugar content, so they are particularly sweet, and when eaten, they are also very fragrant.
Song Jie was eating while thinking that she was quite strange, when she first reincarnated every day she ate sweet potatoes, and she almost got tired of them, at that time she thought that in the future she would never eat sweet potatoes again, unexpectedly now when she eats them they don't have any of the feelings from back then.
The mood is different, and the view of things has also changed.
Breakfast was replaced with roasted sweet potatoes, and neither of them minded, eating happily.
Zhao's mother also knew that staying at her son's house all the time wouldn't work, saying she would return a few days in advance and bring Yu Qian back with her then.
Song Jie knew it would be like this, now Grandma's eyes only have the future little grandson (daughter), she has become a big girl, not even waiting for her to throw a tantrum, and in the blink of an eye grew up, having to step aside.
Can't help but say, Song Jie thinks a lot, occasionally still has a bit of artistic youth style, idle and melancholic.
The heavy snow continued until the afternoon, and everywhere was a vast expanse of white. In places where the snow hadn't been cleared, you could sink in up to your calves if you walked through it. This really is a big snowfall! Fortunately, there aren't many vehicles on the road now, or else they would definitely be blocked.
Song Jie had no choice but to go out repeatedly to sweep the snow, not because she was too diligent, but because if the snow accumulated too deeply, it would be difficult to sweep, and she could only venture out into the heavy snow to clean.
The road surface was also icy, and the icicles hanging from the eaves were very long. Song Jie didn't dare let the old man go out now, as a fall would not be a trivial matter for him.
The next morning, a "Woo... Woo..." sound came early in the morning. Listening to it was an ambulance, and I didn't know whose family had a patient.
The snow had stopped by then, and the old man walked in from outside the gate. Seeing Song Jie getting up, he said: "It's Old Yang from the other end of the street. He's not young anymore, and this winter is too cold. Something must have happened to him." The old man's words were full of vicissitudes, after all, he had also reached an age where he knew his fate.
In the afternoon, Old Yang's family returned, and Old Yang just left like that. The winter of old age should be especially careful, and an accident can happen if you're not careful for a moment.
Song Jie felt a deep sense of sadness in her heart. Every time she walked past their door, that Old Man Yang would always greet her, looking quite spirited, and yet he was gone just like that.
Her heart suddenly felt extremely anxious, her grandparents were also over 60 years old, and their age was not small either. Human life is so fragile, it can be gone in an instant, usually must pay attention to health care.
Song Jie added some more holy water to the vat, adding an extra layer of protection, at least ensuring that there would be no illness or disaster. Having done this, she finally put her mind slightly at ease.
It had been sunny for several days in a row, and the snow was starting to melt. Song Jie was preparing to go shopping for New Year's goods. Of course, she couldn't be allowed to go alone, or else Old Man would not have peace of mind.
Zhao Juan arrived at her mother's house early in the morning, but Song Jie hadn't gotten up yet. Unexpectedly, a little shadow, Hu Yue, was following behind her.
Hu Yue ran "pitter-patter" into his sister's room, saw that she was sleeping soundly, and his mischievous factor acted up again. He stretched his icy hand into Song Jie's quilt, and Song Jie was shocked awake by the cold.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a small head leaning in front of my bed, staring at me with unblinking eyes. When he saw that I was awake, he burst out laughing "heh heh" and revealed two deep dimples.
Song Jie: "......"
This little rabbit did something bad and still laughed, not afraid of losing his big teeth. Song Jie scared him: "Hu Yue, what's wrong with your teeth? Were they eaten by insects?"
"Hu Yue saw that his sister was serious and immediately stopped laughing, thought for a few moments, and hesitantly said: 'You're lying, sis!'"
"I didn't lie to you, don't believe me go ask mom, look at your teeth and see if they're not blackened, this is what happens when you get bitten by bugs, eh~~, tsk tsk." Song Jie had a fearful expression, as if she didn't dare to look.
Hú Yuè's small face suddenly lengthened, pouting her little mouth, staring at Sòng Jié blinking big eyes several times, and then turned around "pa-ta-pa-ta" ran away.
"Come on, let's fight!" Song Jie hummed a tune, got up and put on her clothes, the feeling of bullying a little kid was too damn good.
In a little while, Hu Yue ran back again, his small face gleeful: "Sister, you cheated, Mom said my tooth wasn't bitten by a bug, you cheated!! Cheating isn't being a good kid."
Song Jie: "Is that so......" No matter how you listen to it, there doesn't seem to be any sincerity, and the words reveal a perfunctory attitude.
Hu Yue snorted and gave a white-eyed glance at her deceitful sister before turning around and running off, her short legs moving quite quickly.
Song Jie washed her face and slowly walked out of the room, opening the thick curtains to hear Zhao Juan saying: "Nini, why are you bullying your little brother again? How old are you now? You're still acting like a child."
"I'm not teasing him, am I, Hu Yue?"
Seeing Song Jie's threatening eyes, Hu Yue felt a chill in his heart. What he feared most was that his sister would get angry and not take him to play with her anymore, after all, he was Song Jie's little tail.
"No, sister didn't bully me, we're fine."
Zhao Juan was too lazy to bother with the siblings, they would occasionally make a fuss, but after a while, they would be fine again, what a lively pair.
"Alright, I'm too lazy to bother with you guys anymore. Come quickly and finish your meal, let's hurry up and go, or there will be too many people, make it quick."
Song Jie and Hu Yue quickly sat down at the dinner table, lowering their heads to eat.
Hu Yue had to use his utmost efforts to persuade his mother to take him to the market, and they hadn't even left the house yet. If he didn't behave himself, he would definitely be left behind, which was not what he wanted.
Little does one know, a child as young as this has so many wicked ideas in their mind, and who knows where they learned it from.
After finishing breakfast, Zhao Juan set off with her family. Before leaving, she specifically instructed the two of them not to run around and to follow closely behind her.
As the New Year is approaching, there are a lot of people buying things, it's almost crowded. At this time, Zhao Juan felt a little regretful in her heart, if she had known earlier, she wouldn't have brought her son out with her. What if he gets lost in the crowd, where would she go to find him?
Song Jie saw that there were a lot of people today and thought she had to take good care of Hu Yue, usually Hu Yue was mischievous, but this time he had to be controlled.
At a glance, there are people everywhere, and I thought they were all early risers, but it turns out there are even earlier ones. There won't be fewer things either, it's like everyone is grabbing them.
It was extremely difficult to squeeze through the crowd, feeling like they were going to be crushed at any moment, every step forward was a struggle. Zhao Juan tightly held onto the hands of the two children, turned around and headed towards the nearby vegetable market, where there were fewer people, let's take a breather first.
Arrived at the market, there are indeed many fewer people. However, today's task is arduous, need to buy a lot of things, and the categories are also diverse. Don't know if one morning's time will be enough, can only try to buy more.
Afraid of something going wrong, and in the end, it still went wrong.
