"Yes, I'm back."

Zhou Kuan exhaled gently, turned sideways to give up his post, and said, "Grandma, why are you here?"

"Come here to bring you some bacon and have a meal." The old man smiled and wore a black and red jacket with a little festive New Year's celebration.

Chen Wenyin smiled and added: "I know you are back today, and your grandmother is afraid that Nian will not see you, so she came here specially."

Zhou Kuanbian walked into the house and agreed: "Yes, yes, it's been snowing heavily for half a month, and I can't even leave it for vacation. I should have come back long ago."

The old man looked at Zhou Kuan and said, "Life at school is not good, you may have lost several pounds."

"No, no, I look thin." Zhou Kuan said hurriedly.

Zhou Kuan went to put the bag, Chen Wenyin and the old man walked into the big kitchen first...

This two-story building in the Old Zhou family is an architectural form from the last century.

Simply put, each room is large, but it doesn't consider livable attributes so much.

For example, there is no toilet in the house.

Even the 'bathroom' is very small, without modern bathing equipment, and there is only a room that can drain, squeezed below the stairs up and down. The highest place is less than two meters, the lowest place is only 0.8 meters, about two meters in length, and within one meter five meters in width;

However, the first floor is 3.9 meters high; the first floor is about 20 meters long and the front and back width is about 10 meters;

The front and back center lines are divided into two large rooms in front and back. On the left or right side, there will be a hall room. On the top are altars and ancestral tablets. The function of the hall room is basically to worship gods and ancestors.

In other words, there is no design, a waste of space, but it does not consider livable.

The large kitchen is a traditional kitchen with a floor stove. I went there five or six years ago. The floor stove was used for cooking. At that time, small household appliances such as rice cookers in rural areas were not common.

Living conditions have improved in the past two years. Lao Zhou used a rice cooker and a liquefied gas stove in his home, and used the room in the large kitchen as a kitchen.

Usually, the ground stove is not used, and in winter, charcoal fire is attracted. A square table is placed on the ground stove, so you can sit about ten people. If you keep the fire around, you won’t feel cold.

But you can't move easily, and you will get cold as soon as you move.

To be honest, charcoal fire is more effective than electric heating tables in the south, and it is warmer...

Zhou Kuan entered the room from the side door leading to the porch on the regular living room, threw the bag onto the cool bed in the living room, and walked into the large kitchen.

At this moment, Chen Wenyin had already brewed a cup of hot tea for Zhou Kuan on the aluminum alloy square table on the floor stove: "I washed your tea cup the day before yesterday, and I only knew that you were back today."

Zhou Kuan held up the glass teacup that was familiar to his memory in both hands and said, "I have been a little dizzy these days, so I don't remember to say it in advance."

Chen Wenyin looked at Zhou Kuan and frowned slightly: "Don't you wear less clothes, have you caught a cold?"

Zhou Kuan quickly shook his head: "No, it's mainly because of the wind and messy."

"Don't catch a cold, this is the New Year." The old man interrupted.

“…”

As he was talking, the sound of Zhou Yuanchu stomping his feet came from the porch, and he was shaking off the snow on his upper.

After a while, he walked in and smiled when he saw Zhou Kuan: "Kunha is back, why did he come back in more than two hours this time?"

"Dad." Zhou Kuan said hello first, and then replied, "It's hard to walk on the road. It took him almost an hour and a half to travel from Baihua to Liangfu."

"It's only four kilometers from Liangfu to Murakami that I'm still walking on the newly built road, which is as slow as it is."

Zhou Yuanchu deeply agreed: "You can't take a motorcycle on the road now, so it's hard to pick you up."

"Yes." If it were usual, Zhou Kuan probably should have talked back at this time, but now he agrees happily.

After sitting for a while, Chen Wenyin said, "What do you want to eat at noon? Your grandmother brought two buckle bowls (Funan buckle pork) over. In the morning, she killed a chicken, including mutton, beef, ribs, and a little dog meat sent by your uncle."

"I can do it." Zhou Kuan replied with a smile, "I will eat whatever I do."

The old man on the side smiled and interrupted: "Kuankuan likes to eat bacon and stir-fried radish and beans. Wenyin, you are ignorant of your hand. Kuankuan doesn't like to eat it, I'll go."

Radish beans are cut into strips of radish and then dried and then cut into bean sizes. Because they look like beans, they are used to be called radish beans, and are usually called dried radish in restaurants.

After hearing what the old man said, Chen Wenyin had no objection and nodded and said ok.

While speaking, the old man had already stood up.

Zhou Yuanchu also said, "Then I'll go fry some beef. This time I'm back, I look like I've lost weight. I can't pass the car on the road for more than ten days. I guess there's no food to eat at your school cafeteria."

"Then you can warm up the bowl and I won't go." Chen Wenyin said with a stubborn gesture.

Zhou Yuanchu responded.

At this moment, the old man was already busy in the kitchen in the inner room.

It is not uncommon for Chen Wenyin to be mixed, because the worst thing that the whole family cooks is Chen Wenyin, and even Zhou Kuan is much better than her now.

But Zhou Kuan is holding a teacup and his hands don’t tremble, so he doesn’t mention cooking.

His mood was very uneasy.

Chen Wenyin shivered and quickly sat down with the table again, looking like she was lying on the table: "You guys are afraid they will freeze to death at school."

"Fortunately, there is a hot water bag." Zhou Kuan replied, "The school also knows that it is cold and has thought of some solutions."

Listening to Ms. Chen Wenyin's random words, Zhou Kuan occasionally echoed.

Looking at Chen Wenyin, who was sitting opposite him, who couldn't even see a piece of white hair, Zhou Kuan's eyes turned red again.

Then I heard Chen Wenyin say, "By the way, it's hard to walk on the snowy road this year, and your sister really can't get back."

"Yes." Zhou Kuan responded.

Chen Wenyin said again: "But we will come back early after the New Year, depending on the situation. We said that we have worked overtime anyway, so the company can give us a long vacation."

"She also wants to see you. If you go to school, let her go to school to find you. You can ask your sister about the college entrance examination and volunteering, and you have a little idea."

"A few months left, let's see if you can still try your best to jump up, get a little more points, and it's best to pass the first-class line."

“…”

Listening to Chen Wenyin's nagging, Zhou Kuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

One book?

He had daydreaming after his rebirth and wanted to go to Zhongda for a 600-point trip.

However, the previous reality was so bleak that it made him desperate.

Now I am afraid I can't even get more than 200 points in the junior college control line.

The reason why I went to a college with a third-tier university based on admission scores was that it was because the score was not high or low, and I finally slipped.

So, Zhou Kuan could only listen to Chen Wenyin's nagging and didn't speak much.

Fortunately, after 10 or 20 minutes, the old man and Zhou Yuanchu prepared lunch.

There are four dishes and one soup in total.

These are fried dried radish with bacon, Funan buckle, fried chili with beef, fried chili with chicken, and egg flowers with broth.

Well... the ingredients are in front and the portion is more, except for the Funan buckle. This is a dish that uses fat meat to make the buckle skin, and other dishes are pure lean meat.

Zhou Yuanchu and the old man served the dishes and served the rice, but they didn't move Zhou Kuan and Chen Wenyin.

After all the seats, the old man used his chopsticks to pick up one or two dried radishes for Zhou Kuan: "Kunkuan eats vegetables."

"Hey." Zhou Kuan responded quickly.

I ate the fried dried radish made by my grandma again, and felt the familiar taste that bloomed on my tongue, which was a long time ago in my memory. Zhou Kuan’s nose wings flapped and his eyes squeezed inward.

I just feel that today's sunshine is so beautiful.

But the north wind squeezing through the door, window, and gaps is so annoying that it blows people's eyes...
