Free Days in Siheyuan

Chapter 71 Tongue stuck

Thinking of this, she became sad again. The young sister's early death has always been a wound in her heart, but now seeing Zhang Yu who is in good health, after all, it is a lot of comfort.

While Zhou Huizhen was working in the kitchen, Zhang Yu came in, and he was going to see if there was anything he could do to help.

At this time, Zhou Huizhen was smashing the ice in the water tank with a big axe. Zhang Yu looked around and found that everything was frozen.

The little water left in the washbasin in the house was frozen into ice, and the water in the water tank was so frozen that only the water in the middle of the water tank was left, and the rest of the outer ring was frozen into a big ice lump.

Zhang Yu quickly took the ax from Zhou Huizhen's hand, and split the ice. After splitting for a long time, the ice was broken, but the little water inside turned into ice balls.

Zhou Huizhen smiled, scooped the ice balls into the pot with a water ladle, and said to Zhang Yu: "The weather here is like this, no matter how tight the bag is, it will freeze. I will boil some water, boil some hot water , you are washing your face."

Zhang Yu looked around to see if there was any other work, and was about to help with something, but Zhou Huizhen pushed him to the stove and asked him to light a fire to keep warm.

Surrounding the stove in winter is really a great enjoyment. Zhang Yu is roasting by the fire, squinting his eyes comfortably, the red flames shining on his face, it seems that his whole complexion has improved a lot.

At this time, the sound of opening the door came from the door, and then heavy footsteps came towards the kitchen.

Zhou Huizhen poked her head out to take a look, and then said with some joy: "Master, you are back? Why are you back so early?"

"Well, I'm back, I'm back, I'm afraid you're worried, I came back early in the morning to report the family's safety, and let my second brother stay there to help." Xie Zhiyuan patted the snow on his clothes, although It didn't snow today, but after tossing along the way, there was a lot of snow on my body.

"How is Zhiguang?" Zhou Huizhen asked worriedly. Xie Zhiguang is from the Xie family who are of the same generation as them. They are both relatives and neighbors. Settled down so quickly.

"It's all right. He was sent to the hospital. The doctor gave him more than a dozen stitches. He just woke up when I came back. He is now getting an injection in the hospital."

"Did the hospital say when they would let him come back?"

"I guess it will take five or six days. He was seriously injured this time." Thinking of Xie Zhiguang's injury, he shook his head.

"Then I'll make some chicken soup later, and I'll send it over after you finish your meal. You've lost so much blood, you need to mend your body no matter what."

"Okay, you do it first, I'll send it to him later, and I'll make another meal. Zhiying hasn't eaten yet."

Zhang Yu pulled him to the stove to warm him up. Xie Zhiyuan took off his gloves, warmed himself by the fire, let out a long breath, and froze him to death.

After roasting for a while, and chatting with Zhang Yu for a while, he said to Zhou Huizhen again: "I will clean up the ice skates under the eaves in a while." Many people clean up the ice skates afterwards.

"It's been cleaned up a long time ago. Your son and nephew got up early in the morning and cleaned up the roof before it was very bright."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Zhang Yu saw that the two of them were chatting about trivial things in daily life, but there was an atmosphere that no one else could get in.

Looking at the intimacy between the two, as if eating a handful of dog food, he was a little speechless, and then slowly retreated from the kitchen.

When he came out of the kitchen, he saw Xie Xiaolin, and Xie Xiaolin asked strangely, "Why aren't you warming up in the house?"

"Uncle and aunt are talking in the room." Zhang Yu hesitated to speak.

Xie Xiaolin suddenly understood what was going on, and felt a little embarrassed. There was no way, his parents had a good relationship, and after so long, they were still so tired.

"Let's go, I'll take you to play. Xiaohui and Xiaoyan are also awake at this time." Xie Xiaolin quickly changed the subject.

Several people packed up and were about to go out. At this time, a child ran over crying.

After seeing who it was, Xie Xiaolin quickly stopped him, "Xiwaer, what's the matter, what happened? Tell Uncle what's the matter."

"Uncle Xiaolin, my brother... my brother's tongue... tongue... his tongue is glued on." Xi Wa'er was so out of breath that she couldn't finish a sentence.

"It's glued on, what's stuck on it?"

"I was stuck by that... that door in the school, and I couldn't pull it out no matter what."

"what happened?"

Then, from Xiwa'er's choked-up description, several people reconstructed what happened.

Several children sneaked out of the house before eating in the early morning and played together. One of the children said that the iron gate in the school was sweet.

The other children didn't believe it, and then a group of children were betting on whether the iron gate was sweet. Xi Wa'er didn't see it, and the younger brother, Le Wa'er, was encouraged to lick it by several older children.

It's winter, and the weather here is so cold, it can be said that a drop of water turns into ice, but if you lick your tongue, it will be frozen, and you can't pull it out.

After figuring out what happened, Zhang Yu and the others were almost insane. Xie Xiaolin skillfully took out the teapot from the room and adjusted the water temperature.

Then I followed him out, Zhang Yu was a little dumbfounded, how could he be so proficient?
Seeing Zhang Yu's doubts, Xie Xiaohui explained later: "There is no way, we are used to this thing, every year there will be a few children who don't believe in evil to lick the big iron gate, and after being stuck, most of them are me. Brother went to get it down."

"Won't the adults tell them not to let them?" Zhang Yu asked dumbfounded.

"Don't you know about children? The more you don't let him do something, the more curious he wants to try it. The older and smarter ones will encourage others to try it, and the younger ones will try it themselves."

Hearing this, Zhang Yu felt like laughing even more, but the child was crying, it would be bad if he laughed now.

"Don't hold back, just laugh if you want." After Xie Xiaohui finished speaking, he laughed out loud. Although this kind of thing happens every year, every time he hears him, he still can't help laughing. Those children really remember Do not remember to eat.

After all, Zhang Yu felt a little curious. He wanted to see what it looked like when his tongue was frozen on the iron gate in the book when he was reading, so he followed along.

When I arrived, I saw a five or six-year-old child bouncing his toes, his tongue firmly stuck to the big iron gate.

Xie Xiaolin poured the water with adjusted temperature, avoiding his clothes, and poured it down slowly. After 1 minute, his tongue was detached from the big iron gate.
