The meal made Liu Shun and Uncle Tao see what it means to eat meat in a big bowl and drink wine in a big bowl.

When the wine and food are full, only a little soup and a bunch of gnawed bones are left in a large pot of sauce and bones.

Regarding Tong Yao's drinking, in Zhang Linsheng's words, that is, I haven't seen her drink too much.

The fire in the back kitchen has not been extinguished, the burning kang is hot, Liu Shun and Tao San slept beautifully, and when they woke up again, it was already three poles the next day.

Zhang Linsheng had already prepared noodles and fragrant meat sauce waiting for them.

The sky outside the window was a little dim, and the sun could not be seen, and Zhang Linsheng said that it was going to snow.

"If you make up your mind, let's set off today, it's snowing, the road is closed, and it's not so easy to get to the forest farm!" Zhang Linsheng said.

Liu Shun and Tao San discussed it when they went to bed at night, anyway, they came out to play, and it was not bad to see and see, so when they heard Zhang Linsheng say this, the two agreed without saying a word.

"If you come here and don't see the forest farm, then you will come in vain! I will definitely go with you!" Liu Shun said.

"Okay, when we finish eating, we will prepare, there is a train just in time for twelve o'clock!" Zhang Linsheng was also very happy.

Friends who have only known each other for two days feel like they have been together for a long time, especially chatting, he doesn't want to just leave his friends alone, and it is best to go to the forest farm to play.

Liu Shun and Tao San are full of expectations for going to the forest farm, they have lived in Kyoto since they were children, and they have seen the vast forest there!

The clothes he brought were only a few pieces of washing, but when he had to go to the forest farm deep in the forest, Zhang Linsheng generously took out his two dog skin vests and put them on for the two of them.

There is still a long hair in the dogskin vest, and it is not too cold in winter now, and it is a little sweaty after wearing it for a while, but Zhang Linsheng said, don't take it off first, and you will know when the time comes.

Zhang Linsheng's parents and Tong Yao's parents were in the forest farm, and the first time they went, they couldn't go empty-handed, and after talking to Zhang Linsheng, the two ran out and bought a lot of things at the largest credit cooperative in the county.

At that time, white sugar and liquor were the best things for gifts, in addition to these, they also bought a lot of sugar cubes and fruit cakes, and the two of them vacated a bag full of Dengdeng.

Fruit cake is a type of chicken cake unique to Tohoku, which is not as delicate as Kyoto sweets, but it is important to have enough ingredients and tastes good.

Zhang Linsheng also brought two big bags, I don't know what they contained, and when they were almost ready, he called Tong Yao next door and left.

The train station was nearby, and four people dressed thickly, carrying a few large bags on their backs, stood on the platform where there was no one waiting.

As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, a train with a white mist came in not far away.

As soon as the car stopped, Zhang Linsheng first climbed up with a carriage, and when he got to the top, he stretched out his hand to pick up the bags of several people, and finally the three people climbed up in turn.

The body is in the open air, fortunately, it is empty, and there is no wind when squatting under it after driving, but the temperature is getting lower and lower.

The front chest and back were warm, and the body didn't feel cold, so I took off the cotton gloves and put them under the buttocks to sit, put my hands in the sleeves, and several people huddled together and chatted, and followed the train into the forest leisurely.

After entering the forest, the temperature dropped a few degrees, and looking up at the dusky sky, Zhang Linsheng had a trace of worry.

"Looks like it's going to go down soon!" he said.

"Why is it yellow on this day? Isn't it dark when it's snowing and raining?" asked Liu Shun, looking at the sky.

"It's snowing in the dark, it's raining in the dark!" Tong Yao said, "Look at it like this, this snow can't be small!"

"I really want to see what the snow looks like!" Tao San said.

As if God had heard him, snowflakes suddenly rose in the sky.

"It's snowing!" Tong Yao shouted excitedly and stretched out her hand to catch the snowflakes. Several people also stretched out their hands, and Liu Shun was amazed when he looked at such a big snowflake that he had never seen before.

"This snow flake!" Zhang Linsheng muttered.

"Kyoto has never been so big!" said Tao San.

At first, the snowflakes were still falling one by one, but in a blink of an eye, more and more of them fell, and the goose feathers and snow fell one after another.

In the blink of an eye, snow began to accumulate in the car body, and the four people kept shaking off the snow on their bodies, but with this posture, the four people soon became four snowmen.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, the train had stopped, and several people got out of the car, stomping their feet and puffing on their hands.

The train stops here and won't leave until it's filled with wood.

Watching the locomotive leave the carriage and drive into the warehouse not far away, the four people picked up their bags and walked to the opposite side of the platform.

There were no people on the humble platform, only the innermost dispatch room was lit.

Zhang Linsheng walked over and knocked on the glass on the door, and shouted to a middle-aged man inside, "Uncle Ma!"

Uncle Ma looked up, was happy, and hurriedly beckoned to him, and Zhang Linsheng pushed the door and walked in with someone.

There was plenty of heating in the dispatch room, and there was a stove burning in the middle, and the four of them first leaned over to warm their hands before they had time to talk to Uncle Ma.

"Xiaoshengzi, I'm here so early this year!" Uncle Ma saw that it was four children, so he quickly put down what he was doing and went to get a few cups of hot water.

"Yes, Grandpa Tong Yao has a birthday, call us to go early!" Zhang Linsheng said, then pointed to Liu Shun and Tao San and said to him: "Uncle Ma, these two, Liu Shun and Tao San, are friends I just met, from Kyoto!"

"Kyoto! That's the capital! Running around in winter?" Uncle Ma looked at the two of them with a smile.

"Hey, hey!" Liu Shun and Tao San could only smirk darkly.

"The family is so relieved to let you run so far?" Uncle Ma asked again uneasily.

"The family knows it! Uncle Ma rest assured!" Liu Shun hurriedly said with a smile.

After asking a few more questions, Uncle Ma took out a pot and put it on the stove, "Eat some noodles at night, sleep well, someone from the forest farm will come over early tomorrow morning, and you will follow you when the time comes!"

"Okay!" Zhang Linsheng agreed with a smile.

Every time they come, they will settle down here, the workers of the forest farm know each other, and every family almost does not see their children all year round, so as long as the family members of the workers come, they are very careful.

The truck that pulls timber only makes one trip every half a month, and every time it comes, someone from the forest farm will rush over with a plow, deliver a letter, make a phone call, and then pick up the relatives who are visiting relatives, and bring back some letters and telegrams.

After eating noodles, Uncle Ma took the four of them to the dormitory next to the dispatch room.

There are not many people here, and there are only two or three people in shifts, but the dormitory is very large, just to facilitate the employees and their families to settle down.

Early the next morning, Uncle Ma called the four of them up early.

"Get up and eat, someone is coming to the forest farm!" Uncle Ma shouted outside.

The dormitory is also a big kang, but the north and south kang are facing each other, Tong Yao sleeps on a big kang alone, and Zhang Linsheng, Liu Shun, and Tao San squeeze a big kang.

The quilt was thick and soft, and the fire was so hot that they didn't want to get up.

Hearing Uncle Ma's voice, Zhang Linsheng asked loudly: "Uncle Ma, who is here to pick it up this time?"

"You Uncle Tong, Tong Yao and her father, get up quickly!" Uncle Ma finished speaking and left.

"It's my dad!" Tong Yao got up with a grunt, put on a cotton jacket and cotton pants, and ran out in a hurry before the shoes were put on.

The remaining three people also hurriedly got dressed and went out on the ground.

Tong Yao's father is a typical Northeast man, with a tall and burly figure, a loud voice, and a righteous look with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"These are your two friends?" asked Tong Yao's father, looking at Liu Shun and Tao San.

"Yes, it's them, they're here from Kyoto to play!" Tong Yao nodded and said.

Liu Shun seemed a little nervous, especially when he was stared at by Tong Yao's father.

"Hello Uncle Tong!" nervous to nervous, the two still greeted politely.

"Okay, okay, go to the forest farm and have fun!

Hearing about hunting, the boys' eyes lit up, and they quickly nodded and said yes.

Uncle Ma cooked the noodles for the four of them to eat first, and he and Tong Yao's father went to the side to get the letters and telegrams that came and went, and when they got them, the four of them also ate them.

"Bring your things and go back to the forest farm!" Tong Yao's father said loudly, as if he was going somewhere to receive an award.

The four of them went back to the dormitory to get their things, left two bottles of wine for Uncle Ma to say goodbye and left the station.

As soon as he went out, a cold wind blew over, Tao San shrunk his neck, "It's so cold!"

"Haha!" Tong Yao's father carried the bag brought by his daughter and strode towards the back of the station, where there was a makeshift stable, where a big brown horse stood eating forage and a climbing plow next to it.

"Go up and sit down!" After putting on the climbing plow, Tong Yao's father pulled out the climbing plow, put a few bags on it, and let the four of them sit on it, "Let's go!"

After a night of heavy snowfall, the horse climbed the plow and walked very steadily, but for Liu Shun and Tao San, who experienced such a means of transportation for the first time, it was a novelty!

After stepping out of the station area, the horses climbed the plough and entered the real forest, with tall pine trees on both sides.

"I've never seen a pine tree so tall!" Liu Shun sighed.

"How many years has this been long! There are bigger ones inside!" said Tong Yao's father as he walked ahead with the horse.

"How long will this take?" Tao San stabbed Zhang Linsheng.

"A few hours!" Zhang Linsheng replied, "Hey, hey!" Before he finished speaking, Tao San didn't sit down properly, and one fell down, and Zhang Linsheng didn't even catch it a few times.

Seeing that Tao San's upper body was trapped in the snow, only two legs were exposed, which made Tong Yao laugh "haha".

Liu Shun looked at her side face, and forgot to go to Tao San for a while.

Tong Yao's father stopped the horse, Zhang Lin gave birth to the climbing plow, Liu Shuncai reacted and followed, the two pulled Tao San out of the snow, and several people laughed non-stop.

Suddenly, Tao San grabbed a handful of snow and threw it on Liu Shun.

Liu Shun was only stunned for a moment, and immediately fought back, and Zhang Linsheng, who had suffered, also joined in, and the three of them had a snowball fight, and then ran forward, Tong Yao sat on the plow and looked at them with a smile.

Tong Yao's father also smiled and pulled the plow and walked forward.

"Oops!" Tong Yao screamed, not knowing who went off the fire and hit the snow ball on her.

Tong Yao snorted, also got off the plow, grabbed the snow ball and began to hit the three of them, and the three of them ran in front.

"Don't run, who attacked me just now?" Tong Yao shouted as she grabbed the snow ball and chased after the three of them.

frolicking, the group walked most of the way.

Tired later, Tong Yao's father asked the four of them to get on the climbing plow again and continue to walk to the forest farm.

The sun had risen, the snow had stopped, and the four tired men did not speak, but sat together on the plow, staggering as if they were about to fall asleep.

"It's a mess!"

There was a sudden noise in the woods next to him, and several people followed the sound to look, but before they could see what was over there, Tong Yao's father had already taken out a shotgun from the side of the horse.

"Little son, get out of the car and drive the horse!" he said in a deep voice, his face solemn, and he stared in the direction where the sound came from with his shotgun.

"What's wrong?" Tao San asked, Tong Yao's father made the atmosphere too tense.

"Don't make a sound, let's go!" Tong Yao's father waved his hand with his back to them.

Zhang Linsheng pulled the horse and climbed the plow and walked forward with great effort, Tong Yao's father followed closely beside him, but the muzzle of the gun was always pointed at the woods next to him.
