Chapter 41
As the third year of high school officially starts, Zhao Chen's life has become increasingly hectic.
Every day is home, school, and the Trainer Association. It's not difficult for this kind of life to be accompanied by Pancham and Shuckle.
On these busy days, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here, Jiangcheng High School has specially put a day off for this, plus two weekends, a total of three days.
From Zhao Jin’s mouth, I learned that Zhao’s father and Zhao’s mother were going to take the two back to their hometown for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In this regard, Zhao Chen has no opinion. Only grandma is left in his hometown. It is not proper to leave her as an elderly person in the village during festivals such as Mid-Autumn Festival.
So early in the morning, after Father Zhao bought moon cakes and a lot of vegetable meat, he drove out of the city.
Grandma Zhao lives in the countryside near Jiang Prefecture. Normally, Dad Zhao asked her to come to live with her in the city countless times, but she was rejected by Grandma Zhao for all kinds of strange things.
Something like "the cat at home can't do without her", "the vegetable field at the door needs someone to take care of it" and so on.
But everyone knew in their hearts that grandma just didn't want to leave the village where she had lived all her life.
Zhao Family Village is backed by the mountain, and the road into the mountain is winding and tortuous. It took Zhao’s father two and a half hours to arrive in the village.
"It's so cold..."
Zhao Jin shivered as she pushed the car door.
Although the weather has been cool recently, the temperature in this mountain is obviously abnormal.
Zhao Chen got out of the car and suddenly felt a chill assaults the senses. He was frowned and looked towards the surrounding plants and trees, all shrinking because of the temperature.
"Quickly enter the house, the mountains are very cold in the past few days!" Grandma Zhao hurriedly greeted her from the house and greeted everyone to enter the house.
As soon as I entered the house, there was a burst of warmth assaults the senses. There was a stove in the house, and there was a raging flame in the stove, which made the whole room very warm.
"Go on the Kang, warm on the Kang, Xiaochen, are you going to take the college entrance examination soon?" Grandma Zhao patted the Kang beside her with a kind smile.
"Yes, grandma, I am already a trainer now!" Zhao Chen nodded, took out the Poké Ball, and let out Shuckle and Pancham.
When Grandma Zhao saw these two little fellows, she liked them very much, rubbing Pancham's head muttered: "If old fogey is still there, I guess it will be happy or bad..."
"Mom, have you bought mooncakes at home?" Father Zhao turned the cupboard and deliberately changed the subject.
"I'm ready!" Grandma Zhao got up from the kang, walked to the big box, and took out a few five-core mooncakes wrapped in oil paper like a baby.
"Here, Xiaojin, Xiaochen!" With that, Grandma Zhao handed the mooncakes to the two of them.
Because they are their own grandmothers, Zhao Chen and Zhao Jin are not polite. They happily took the mooncakes and ate them.
It took a lot of time on the way here. Now it’s noon. Mother Zhao and Dad Zhao accompanied her grandma to the kitchen in the front room for lunch.
Zhao Chen and Zhao Jin stayed in the room to cook, beside the stove, the old cat raised by Grandma Zhao was snoring lazily.
"Brother, the temperature here is only ten degrees!" Zhao Jin looked at the phone and said cry out in surprise.
"Impossible? It's only autumn now..." Zhao Chen was a little puzzled. He had seen the temperature in the city reach 25 degrees before.
"Stubborn!"
Suddenly, Pancham on the side called out. He and Shuckle stood by the window, looking out with wide eyes.
Zhao Chen turned his head and saw that the sky outside the window suddenly became gloomy, and white Icirrus flowers fell from the sky.
It's snowing.
Zhao Chen was a little stunned. He pulled out a grandma's floral cotton jacket from the closet, put it on and walked out of the room to the yard.
Pancham and Shuckle followed, but as soon as they came outside, they trembled with cold.
Zhao Chen looked at the two little fellows helplessly, reached out and picked them up, and carried them into his arms.
"Stubborn!"
Pancham and Shuckle poked their heads out and looked at Icirrus in the sky curiously.
Zhao Chen took out his mobile phone and sent a message to the class: "Has it snowed in the city?"
Soon, there will be people reply.
Bai Jie: No! Sunny Day, I’m lying in the air-conditioned room and blowing on the air-conditioning!
Yan Lily: +1, I'm eating watermelon. It's only a few months now. It's impossible to snow, right?
However, when Zhao Chen took a video and sent it to the group, they were silent for a while, and then all said in shock:
Fuck! impossible? Is this the video you recorded last year?
In desperation, Zhao Chen photographed himself in a blank expression before they believed.
Bai Jie: It may be heavy snow caused by floating bubbles!
Pokémon that can change the weather is most likely floating bubbles.
This kind of small Pokémon is usually kept in a meteorological laboratory and used as a tool for artificial rainfall and artificial snowfall.
However, such a large-scale snow is basically impossible as floating bubbles.
Zhao Chen didn't think much about it, just as the weather in the mountains is abnormal!
After watching the snow outside for a while, he went back to the house and climbed on the Kang. Out of boredom, he took Zhao Jin to fight the King Pesticide. Although Zhao Jin is a girl, he is not strong enough. Much stronger than Deng Jian.
Because I did not bring a tablet this time, Pancham couldn't go to station b, so I could only watch Zhao Chen playing Wangzhe Pesticide pitifully.
After a few shots, lunch is ready.
At this time, the snow didn't stop, but it got bigger and bigger. This made Zhao Chen a little worried about the heavy snow, and he couldn't go back to class on time.
Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, today’s lunch was extraordinarily rich, with braised elbows, sweet and sour fish, winter melon pork rib soup, chicken stew with mushrooms, etc. Zhao Chen and Zhao Jin ate their mouthfuls.
After eating, Mother Zhao and Zhao’s father and Zhao were sitting in the main room and chatting about family affairs. Zhao Chen felt a little bored in the room, so he went out to stroll around.
The rusty Icirrus fell on the sky, dyeing the whole village into a silver coat, and the mountains and forests in the distance were covered with a white coat.
The snow is very heavy, and there will be a rustle when you walk on it.
Zhao Chen looked at the quiet village with emotion. The village that was once prosperous now has only a few households left, and it looks lonely.
“Stubborn” Because he had never seen snow, Pancham stretched out his small paw, grabbed a piece of Icirrus that fell, and curiously placed it in his palm to watch.
"That is sweet, you can lick it." Zhao Chen said to it seriously.
Pancham tried to lick it, but found that there was no smell at all, and instantly realized that he was cheated.
At this moment, a few silhouettes hurriedly ran across the snow in the distance.
Zhao Chen narrowed his eyes and turned his head over there. He saw a few Snorunt and Swinub running out of the mountain without looking back.
Subconsciously, he lifts the head and saw several helicopters flying by and landing in the distant mountains.
