After eating and drinking at the county health center, Liu Shun and Uncle Tao did not feel any discomfort after being drunk, but felt comfortable all over.

It was the door that went out in late autumn, and when I got here, the temperature dropped significantly, and there was a winter chill, but there was no snow, which made the two people who wanted to see the heavy snow in the north a little regretful.

On the way to Zhang Linsheng's house, after listening to Liu Shun and Uncle Tao's regretful words, Zhang Linsheng couldn't help laughing.

"I advise you not to see it, if it's really snowing, people can't go out, the north wind is blowing, it's really like a knife!"

Liu Shun and Uncle Tao liked to listen to Zhang Linsheng very much, and the thick Northeast accent with a dialect that they didn't understand, but understood what it meant, was simply too cola.

"Why can't you go out?" Liu Shun asked, "When it snows in Kyoto, we like to build a snowman and have a snowball fight!"

"It's snowing there, what's called snow! If it snows heavily, you can directly cover the house, do you see?" Zhang Linsheng pointed to the house on the side of the road and said, "The doors of the houses are all open inward, but I am afraid that when it snows, the door will not be opened, so I will open it inward, dig a hole in the door with a shovel, and people will come out!"

And this statement?

Liu Shun and Uncle Tao really didn't notice, they kept looking at the houses on both sides of the road, and sure enough, they saw that almost all of the doors were open inward.

Zhang Linsheng's house is in the northeast of the county, not far from the railway, a slippery bungalow, and every family has a yard.

The houses here are very distinctive, almost all of them are thick logs on the outside, and the brick and stone structure is on the inside, and it is said that such houses have a particularly good warmth effect.

His house is the second house in the third row, with a large iron gate and a large yard, and the gate to the front of the house is a cement paved road, and the vegetable gardens on both sides are divided by wooden railings on both sides.

There were two bunches of fiery red peppers on either side of the door, a few bunches of corn on the side of the window, and a pot with no flowers on the windowsill.

"You guys have all the windowsills outside?" asked Liu Shun curiously.

"Aren't they all outside?" Zhang Linsheng asked strangely.

Later, when it was clear, a few people smiled and said, "Sure enough, every place is different." ”

"Come in quickly! You're welcome, just be your own home! I'll bring in a stove!" After entering the door, there was a hint of cold air in the room, Zhang Linsheng asked Liu Shun and the two to sit first, he walked to the back and took a basket full of coal, and opened the lid of an earthen stove with iron pipes in the middle of the room.

Liu Shun looked at it curiously, this kind of earthen stove is also available in some places in Kyoto, but it is not as big as this one, as high as a bucket.

I saw Zhang Linsheng take a piece of birch bark and set it on fire, threw it into the stove, put a few chopping woods into it, and waited for the fire to be hot, then took a small shovel and put some coal into the stove, and put the kettle full of water on the stove.

The stove was lit, and the room instantly warmed up, and Liu Shun took off his hat, scarf, and gloves and hung them on the wall.

The water was boiling, and Zhang Linsheng poured two glasses of water for several people, and the water cup was the kind of straight glass with red chrysanthemums printed on it.

"There's no tea at home, so drink some hot water to warm up!" Zhang Linsheng said.

"You have a good house, you usually live alone?" asked Liu Shun.

Zhang Linsheng's house is not badly furnished, with rooms on both sides, a hall and a place to eat in the middle, and a kitchen in the back.

I went into the room just now and turned around, a big kang, a big mattress covered with red flowers and green leaves, and a kang qin at the top, which is a cabinet placed on the kang.

On the floor there are tables, chairs, benches and a large wardrobe, full of them.

"My parents are on the forest farm, and they only come back once a year, sometimes they don't come back, and I and a few neighbors whose parents are also on the forest farm go to the forest farm together, and come back after the New Year!" Zhang Linsheng said.

"I always hear you say that the forest farm is in the forest farm, where is it, it seems that it is very difficult to get out and get in!"

Liu Shun was looking at the photos hanging on the wall of his house, three or four large photo frames, and there were many large and small black and white photos in them.

"It's not too far, it's just hard to walk, so we'll take a wagon pulling wood to the forest yard, and then we'll make a horse plow to get in. ”

"Horses climb the plow?" Liu Shun asked curiously.

"It's a horse-drawn plow, and after the snow, only the plow can walk, and in the summer you can ride in a horse-drawn cart. Zhang Linsheng said, then pointed to a photo on the wall and said, "That's it!"

Liu Shun followed his hand and looked at the photo, and sure enough, there was a horse climbing plow on it, and there was a family of three standing next to it.

The little one looks like Zhang Linsheng, who is also in his teens, two adults, who should be husband and wife, looking at the camera with a happy smile.

"It's winter, and they haven't come back?" Uncle Tao asked, "If they don't come back, it's not bad for you to go to Kyoto with us!"

"Okay, I'll go to the forest farm this year, and they won't be retired in a few years, so I won't let them toss back and forth!" Zhang Linsheng said.

"Brother Lin Sheng, are you at home, I see the door of your house open!" a crisp voice shouted from outside the door.

"At home, come in!" Zhang Linsheng replied loudly.

After a while, the door opened, and a big girl of eighteen or nineteen years old walked in outside the door, wearing two braids, quite tall, wearing a green military coat, looking heroic, the girl's eyes were big, and she looked at the two extra people in the room brightly.

"Brother Lin Sheng, are you here at home?"

"This one is called Brother Liu, and that one is called Brother Tao!" Zhang Linsheng said.

"Brother Liu, Brother Tao!" the girl shouted generously.

"This is my Uncle Tong's daughter next door, Tong Yao!"

"Hello, hello!" Liu Shun and Uncle Tao were a little nervous.

At that time, young men and young women were not as open as they are now, and it was a little embarrassing.

But Tong Yao didn't pay so much attention to it, and looked at the two young people who were a little nervous and laughed.

"Brother Lin Sheng, these two friends of yours are really funny!" Tong Yao walked over with a smile, leaned on the table, and grabbed a few large handfuls of melon seeds from his pocket, "Come, eat melon seeds!"

Liu Shun and Third Uncle Tao were a little afraid to look at Tong Yao more, so they seemed a little restrained.

"Okay, you're polite, Tong Yao has been like a tomboy since she was a child, don't see outside! Come and eat melon seeds!" Zhang Linsheng also saw that Liu Shun and the two were a little unable to let go, so he hurriedly beckoned the two to sit down.

Liu Shun sat there, feeling that his body was stiff, his heart was beating violently unconsciously, and his ears were filled with Tong Yao's crisp words and laughter.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, and suddenly he felt that the sky was already dark, and suddenly the sun was out, and his body was a little warm.

"Liu Shun!Liu Shun!" Third Uncle Tao called him several times in succession before calling back Liu Shun, who seemed to have lost his soul.

"Huh?"

"What do you want?" Lin Sheng asked if you would like to go to the forest farm to play together?"

It turned out that Tong Yao said just now that his father had just called back, saying that his grandfather was going to celebrate his seventieth birthday this year, and asked Tong Yao to go to the forest farm early, and she came over to ask Zhang Linsheng if he wanted to go together.

As a result, Zhang Linsheng warmly invited Liu Shun and Uncle Tao to go to the forest farm to play together.

"Go to the forest farm?" Liu Shun finally completely returned to his soul, "Is there anything interesting there?"

"The forest farm is fun!" Tong Yao took over the conversation, and her smiling face made Liu Shun in a trance again, "There are a lot of good things in the mountains! My grandfather lives in the depths of the forest, and I went to my parents once when I was very young!

"Okay!" Liu Shun agreed.

Originally, they planned to travel all the way back to Kyoto from the north, but they didn't expect an accident that made the two spend an unforgettable winter in the large forest of Tohoku.

Seeing that she was about to go back, Tong Yao was about to go back, and before leaving, she said: "Brother Lin Sheng, I stewed a big bone stick at home, and you can boil a cabbage frozen tofu and put some noodles later!"

"Is the rice cooked?" asked Zhang Linsheng.

"I steamed steamed buns!" the beautiful voice had already reached the outside of the house.

After glancing at the time, Zhang Linsheng went to the back kitchen, Uncle Tao followed curiously, and Liu Shun didn't want to be idle, so he asked, "What else do you want to help?"

"You go outside and bring me two cabbages in!" In the back kitchen, Zhang Linsheng replied loudly.

Walking out of the door, Liu Shun looked around, there was a platform made of bricks at the top of the right side of the door, with things piled high on it, covered with a rain cloth, and a few cabbage leaves hanging on the side.

Liu Shun walked over, lifted the rain cloth, and saw the cabbage head swinging in a circle against his head, and he took two of them down and covered them with the rain cloth.

After carrying the cabbage in, I saw that Uncle Tao was learning to burn the big stove behind him, and he was stuffing a few pieces of wood into the hearth.

Zhang Linsheng took the cabbage, skillfully peeled off the outer layer of a little dry cabbage, put it on the cutting board, cut it with a few knives, and put it in a basin together, next to it was a water tank, scooped it up and washed it and put it aside.

The cauldron put some water, and it was already boiling at this time, Zhang Linsheng took a spoon and scooped it clean a few times, poured it into a bucket next to it, and dug a spoonful of white meat oil from a jar next to it and put it in.

Followed by green onion and ginger, soy sauce stir-fried pot, and the fragrance suddenly overflowed.

Flip the cabbage in the pot twice, add water and close the lid.

"Look at your proficiency, chef!" Liu Shun boasted, "I can boil myself an egg at most, that is a high level." ”

"Our Gada children can cook since they were young, their parents are busy with work, and when they come back from work, they will watch three shifts in the middle of the night, and if they can't cook, they will starve to death!" Zhang Linsheng said lightly, but in the ears of two people from two big families, it was simply too hard.

Frozen tofu is in a small room that protrudes further back in the back of the kitchen, and by standard it is a natural refrigerator.

The frozen tofu melted a little with water, cut small pieces with a knife and threw them into the pot, and threw a handful of vermicelli into it.

When everything was done, Zhang Linsheng stuffed another piece of chopping wood into the hearth, "Let's go, let's go in! ”

The three of them returned to the front from the steaming kitchen, and after a while, Tong Yao came back and shouted outside, "Help me open the door!"

Liu Shun ran over to open the door, and saw Tong Yao standing at the door holding a large basin and a small basin, and hurriedly reached out to pick it up.

"Take this above!" Tong Yao said.

Liu Shungang wanted to take it all, but when he heard what he said, he raised his hand to take the basin on it again, and his hand touched Tong Yao's hand, and his heart immediately jumped violently.

It's hot, soft and slippery, and it feels like touching an object with a wide open door, which makes people feel excited.

Putting down the basin on the top and opening the door for Tong Yao, Tong Yao put the big basin in his hand on the table, and as soon as he opened it, a rich aroma of meat floated out, and a large basin full of sauce and big bones was exposed.

"So many?" Third Uncle Tao's eyes straightened.

"That's so many!" Tong Yao said, "The old man eats like a bird?

"I'll see if the food is good, Tong Yao, pour the wine!" Zhang Linsheng said and went to the back kitchen.

"Okay!" Tong Yao agreed, and as soon as she bent down, she pulled out a wine jar from under the table, and skillfully opened the lid on the seal, "I'll go get the bowl!"

As she spoke, Tong Yao went to the back kitchen, and in a blink of an eye, she came in with four pairs of dishes and chopsticks, "Hey, you guys hurry up and sit down!" As she spoke, she had already put the bowl away and poured the wine.

"Enough, enough!" Third Uncle Tao hurriedly stopped Tong Yao, who was about to be full.

"Is that enough?" Tong Yao didn't listen to him, and continued to pour a second bowl of full.

After the four bowls of wine were poured, Zhang Linsheng also came in with a basin.
