Time flies, and as soon as it enters the wax moon, the temperature drops like a roller coaster. The snow in Daqingshan seemed to be endless, and it stopped, stopped, and fell intermittently for more than a month.

During this time, Song Yiran was not idle, she went up the mountain every once in a while, took back the prey in the trap, and repaired the trap by the way. In the space of a month, she hunted eight rabbits, twelve pheasants, and a half-sized roe deer. If it weren't for the inconvenience of going up the mountain because of the heavy snow, her harvest might have been even more.

This winter, Song Yiran has gained a lot, and even Zhao Xiaodong has benefited. There is a lot of meat at home, and the food is enough for oil and water. When people eat well, their bodies are good.

Song Yiran's size has changed a lot, and there is meat on his face, and he looks smarter than before.

Zhao Xiaodong's skin also became a little whiter, and he looked at the people and was in good spirits, and his hair was shiny.

Outside, the north wind was howling, and it was getting dark again. On the kang in the house, Zhao Xiaodong sat on the kang to make a padded jacket for Song Yiran.

Four catties of new cotton, as well as two pieces of green and green fabric, were all bought by Zhao Xiaodong for Song Yiran. This cotton is enough to make a padded jacket and cotton pants, and then put together some fabric, and can also make a thick quilt, with these things, no matter how cold the weather is, you are not afraid.

Song Yiran couldn't help, so he just watched from the sidelines.

You let her go up the mountain to fight the tiger and go down to the sea to descend the dragon, and she dares to try it. But with this needlework, she can also sew buttons. To put it bluntly, this may be one of the few shortcomings in her life.

"Auntie, why don't you make yourself a dress!" Song Yiran held his chin again, "It's not that we don't have money!"

Not all the rabbits and pheasants caught in the trap were eaten by them. Song Yiran wanted to eat it all, but Zhao Xiaodong was too good at living a life, so he didn't allow it at all!

In Zhao Xiaodong's words, so much meat can be eaten for half a year after being pickled! It's winter now, and it won't spoil if it's frozen, and it's about to be the New Year, so you can't leave some meat for the New Year?

What Song Yiran didn't expect was that Zhao Xiaodong had a way to exchange things for money. Twelve pheasants, all sold, and the skins of the eight rabbits, were also exchanged for money.

These things are also collected by the acquisition station, but the price is low and not cost-effective. Who Zhao Xiaodong is looking for, Song Yiran didn't know, and she didn't ask, but she knew that there was also a black ~ market in this era.

It's just that Zhao Xiaodong is a widow after all, and it is inconvenient to do things, so she doesn't want to say it, so let's not say it!

Anyway, the money was handed over to Song Yiran.

Song Yiran let Zhao Xiaodong take care of it, she was still a baby, and it was not appropriate to take so much money. Zhao Xiaodong made his own decisions, ripped the khaki, bought cotton, and made a new cotton coat for Song Yiran. She scraped together some half-new cloth and made a new quilt for Song Yiran.

A lot of money was spent, but not a penny was spent on herself.

"I'm old, and I'm wearing new clothes. Zhao Xiaodong didn't raise his head, rubbed it on his head with a needle, and started working again, "You can finish this dress today, and you will have new clothes to wear during the New Year." ”

Song Yiran only said: "It's a pity that those rabbit skins can make a good shoulder!"

"That thing is too eye-catching to wear out! Besides, you're going to be a nitty?"

Song Yiran shook his head, "No." ”

So, it's better to exchange it for money and tickets, which is more realistic. Zhao Xiaodong said: "There is nothing to fill the stomach to get affordable." ”

That's true.

Are traps so easy to dig and money so easy to earn?

Now it is heavy snow covering the mountain, the weather is so cold that people can freeze to death, and some time ago, Lai Yangtze River was bitten to death by wolves, so no one went to the mountain.

Song Yiran also occupied a Qiaozong, so he made a fortune in a muffled voice.

After the New Year, the weather is warm, and the food at home is cut off, so naturally some people can't help but go to the mountains. At that time, she will not be able to keep the secret of catching her prey with traps.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Xiaodong will not allow Song Yiran to live a lavish life. The money she got back was also saved for her with a careful budget.

Zhao Xiaodong didn't know a few words, but she had a bright head, how much money she had, and how she spent it. The most important thing is that Song Yiran's trust makes her feel happy. This girl is not related to her, but she can hand over the financial power to her to manage, which is not necessarily possible for brothers and sisters. Therefore, Zhao Xiaodong felt even more that he had to be worthy of Song Yiran's trust.

Song Yiran nodded, "I have food in my hand, don't panic in my heart, I listen to you." ”

Zhao Xiaodong nodded with satisfaction and continued to fight against her needlework.

"If you're tired, lie down for a while, and when you wake up, I'll stew sauerkraut for you and put more vermicelli. ”

Song Yiran really felt bored, so he fell on the kang and slept with his old jacket on his body.

In a daze, Song Yiran seemed to 'see' Zhao Xiaodong make a cotton jacket and a cotton jacket, put his clothes in the position of the kang tip, cleaned up a little, and went to the field to cook. She 'saw' Zhao Xiaodong cooking, the sauerkraut was cut into thin shreds, the rabbit meat that had been marinated earlier was cut into slices, and after the two things were stir-fried in the pot a few times, Zhao Xiaodong added a scoop of water to the pot, and also prepared vermicelli and frozen tofu......

Song Yiran suddenly felt that his eyes were swollen and his head hurt, so he hurriedly stopped 'looking'. But I don't know why, my eyes hurt as if they had been pricked by needles, and they were hot.

Song Yiran was woken up by the pain, and the moment she opened her eyes, she seemed to see countless shining things, flying into her eyes like fireflies.

Those points of light converged into a very bright light, which was very dazzling.

It hurts!

She hurriedly closed her eyes, but she couldn't isolate the invasion of those points of light~.

Song Yiran struggled on the kang, and with a shout, she completely fell through the darkness.

I don't know how long it took, Song Yiran seemed to hear someone shouting about himself. When she opened her eyes, she saw Zhao Xiaodong looking at her with a concerned face!

"You kid, you're sleepy, get up and eat. ”

There was an oil lamp the size of a bean in the room, and it was so dark outside that I couldn't see anything clearly.

Song Yiran felt a little unreal.

What was going on? Was it a dream?

She rubbed her eyes, well, it didn't hurt, she didn't feel anything.

It looks like it's a dream.

Song Yiran sat up, put on his shoes, and washed his face to refresh himself.

Zhao Xiaodong had already set up the kang table, put the sauerkraut stewed vermicelli, the cornmeal cakes, and a bowl of sauce and two green onions.

The two sat opposite each other to eat.

Song Yiran took a bite of the tortilla, and when he looked up, he was stunned.
