Obligations of the elderly

But this year's snow is bigger than Gongsi imagined!

In the middle of the night, Gong Si was woken up by the sound of horns outside.

Every house in the town has speakers installed outside, in order to notify everyone in time when there is something wrong with heavy snow and poor signal.So as soon as Gong Si heard the sound was coming from the speaker, Gong Si immediately knew something was wrong!

really--

"...Residents, please pay attention. The snow conditions this year are more severe than previous years. Please check your roofs in time and clear away some of the snow before going to sleep to avoid collapses! Residents, please pay attention..."

Gongsi sat up with a grunt.

When he was fully dressed and ran out of the bedroom, he happened to run into his second brother who was also dressed and ready to go out.

"Brother." Qiu Xia called him.

"I'm going to check the roof, you go and look at other places in the yard." Gongsi immediately assigned the work.

"Okay." Without further ado, Qiu Xia immediately went over to look after receiving the job.

When he went downstairs, he happened to meet Dongchun who was rubbing his eyes.

"Second brother..." Dongchun even yawned: "What am I going to do?"

He is not very old, but Dongchun is also used to helping the family with work.

"Go upstairs and look at Aji in the elder brother's room." The elder brother went to see the roof. There is no one in his room now, only Aji.

Qiuxia also found a job for Dongchun.

Nodding, Dongchun went upstairs, while Qiuxia checked various places in the yard with a flashlight.

He focused on checking the wooden pavilion outside the study.

In order to make it easier for guests to come in and out, the study has two doors, one door is in the room, and the other door is in the corridor. In order to facilitate the guests to sit and read books in the corridor, they also specially set up a pavilion. Si asked Qiuxia to check other places in the yard, and the focus was here.

Fortunately, it's okay here.

"Qiu Xia, come up and sweep the snow! The snow is too thick!" There was a roar from the palace above, and in response, Qiu Xia went upstairs again to the roof to sweep the snow with her brother.

The sweeping took more than two hours. The brothers first swept the snow off the roof, then swept the snow in the yard, and finally cleared all the snow, and piled the snow in front of the house to both sides of the road. , although the snow is still falling, it will be better if it is cleaned up.

After they finished their work, it was dawn, and they took Qiu Xia back to the house for a simple breakfast. Gong Si looked out the window and asked, "Qiu Xia, do you still have strength?"

Qiuxia curled up her mouth and smiled: "Yes, brother, shall we go to Grandma Lin's house after dinner?"

Apparently, he also remembered the convention.

"En!" Nodding, Gong Si drank the remaining soup in the bowl.

The supervisor Dongchun took the medicine, and told him to take Aji to watch the house well, and Gong Si took Qiuxia out of the house non-stop to sweep the snow at the neighbor's house.

There are only two little ones left in the family, Gong Dongchun and Gong Siji.

***

Carrying everyone's empty dishes to the sink, Dongchun moved the footstool and washed the dishes on tiptoe.

Although the eldest brother said that he didn't need to wash the dishes today, he still insisted on finishing it.

"Now I wash the dishes. When you grow up, it will be your turn to do the dishes. You can learn a little bit now." While washing the dishes, Dongchun carried Aji to sit next to the sink to observe, and also said to Aji. Ji exhorted.

I don't know if I understood, Aji watched seriously.

Washing the dishes exhausted all the energy in his body. Dongchun felt his face was a little hot and his nose was getting more and more mucus.

Pulling out a piece of paper and blowing his nose clean, he glanced at Aji, Dongchun put on the mask he usually hated to wear the most.

After briefly wiping the table, he put Aggie on the crawling mat beside the table.

"Brother and the others must be very cold when they come back. We have to boil water." Most of the programs broadcast on TV during this time period were news. Dongchun felt that it was boring, so he quickly found another job for himself.

In winter, the job that Gong Si asked Dongchun to do the most was to boil water. Gong Si’s original intention was to find a job for his younger brother, so as not to let him go out to be cold, but Dongchun took this matter seriously as his own. Already working.

There are several thermos bottles in their house. In winter, even if Dongchun is playful, he will carefully fill these thermos bottles every day.

"Now you eat a lot and stretch too much. Every time you wash your butt, you have to add hot water, especially hot water." While boiling water, Dongchun talked to Aji.

The house in the palace is a water heater that every household in Lengshui Town must have.

Put it outside in summer, and put it indoors in winter. It burns electricity. It is shaped like a cylinder. There is a kettle on the top, and other places can be wrapped with various fabrics. It's hot.

While chatting with Aji, Dongchun boiled water, boiled a pot of water and poured a thermos bottle, and when the thermos bottle was filled to the sixth, Dongchun's energy began to lose a bit.

"No, there are still two... I can only go to bed after filling two..." he said to himself.

But his head was really dizzy, his face was hot, and his eyes gradually blurred. He felt as if his head was full of snot...

With a sound of "click", Dongchun put his head on the table and fell asleep.

And not long after he fell asleep, the pot on the water boiler was turned on, and the spout of the pot was steaming, and it didn't take long before it rang loudly.

It's just that Dongchun can't hear it.

Aji heard it, he not only heard it, but also understood it.

"Ah!" He called out to his brother.

"Ah!" Two more voices.

"Papa!" There was no other way, Aji had no choice but to start, crawled to his brother's calf, and he patted Dongchun's calf twice.

But the baby's soft slap was too lacking in deterrence, Dongchun remained motionless.

Seeing that his brother couldn't cry anymore, Aji started to crawl in the opposite direction.

His target was clear, the kettle that was honking.

The cylindrical water boiler is the best support. Holding the water boiler wrapped in a thick coat, Aji stood up tremblingly. Then, he stretched out his small hand to reach the kettle on it.

This is exactly what Dongchun saw when he squinted his eyes!

He was petrified!

He wanted to run over to hug Aji away, but his body didn't listen at all, his brain was extremely heavy, the heat from his nostrils seemed to roast his lips, and Dongchun's body heat rose again.

Seeing his body falling limply from the chair to the floor, Dongchun desperately stretched out his hand to Aji.

Aggie!Aggie!Aji is going to be scalded by the kettle!cannot!Aggie can't be hurt——

This became the only thought in his mind before he fainted.

Then, almost at the same time as the moment he fell—

Aji looked up and saw heavy rain pouring down overhead.

After touching the drops of water on his face, Aji opened his mouth and ate two, smiling happily.
