Chapter 116: Reply, Preparation......

Zhou Shujie put the sealed envelope in the cabinet properly.

Thinking about it, I will rush to the market tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I will send it directly to the post office at that time.

Zhou Shujie turned her head and thought again, is it a bit too little for the pillar to send back so many things by mail, and she only replies to the pillar with a letter.

Anyway, there's still two days left!

Why don't you take advantage of this time to prepare something?

Thinking so, Zhou Shujie discussed with her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, why don't we prepare something for the pillar and send it to the mail?"

When the mother-in-law heard this, her face, which had not seen any smiling face, immediately burst into laughter, nodded vigorously, and said, "Okay! Get me something and mail it to him." ”

As soon as she said that, the old lady quickly turned around and rummaged through the cabinets to find something.

He also said to Zhou Shujie vigorously: "I'll make two pairs of shoes for my son, and you can look at the rest and prepare!" Since I got sick, my son, I haven't worn the shoes I made, this time the time is tight, make him two pairs first, and make him a few more pairs of mails next time, how can I make him comfortable with the clothes issued by the army!"

When Zhou Shujie heard this, her mother-in-law wanted to make shoes for her husband.

quickly answered: "Mother, I have good soles here." ”

As she spoke, she walked to the cabinet where she usually put her needlework and thread, that is, the cabinet of the pillar, and took out a pack of sodium-good soles from it.

There is hers, there is the mother-in-law, and there is the pillar.

Two pairs per person, these are all made by being idle in winter, chatting with Aunt Guo.

handed the soles to her mother-in-law, Zhou Shujie said: "Mother, you can use this to do it, you can save a little time, or you will have to stay up late in two days to make two pairs of shoes of this size." ”

The mother-in-law received it in her hand, carefully touched it with her hand, and looked at the sole of the shoe that was much larger than her palm, and couldn't help but redden.

He said in a dumb voice, "Shujie, if you don't take out the soles of these shoes, I don't even know how big shoes my son should wear!"

When Zhou Shujie heard this, she comforted her mother-in-law and said, "Don't you know this?" Mother, let's see what color upper to choose for the pillar. ”

She diverted the topic and took out some fabric for making shoes for her mother-in-law to choose.

The mother-in-law picked a piece of dark blue enough to make two pairs of upper cloth, and said, "Just use this, I think this blue is very good-looking, and I look so energetic when I roll on the white edge!"

After speaking, the old lady didn't wait for Zhou Shujie to express her opinions and evaluations.

Directly took the cloth, sat on the kang and looked like the shoes, and began to sew and make shoes for his son.

Zhou Shujie coaxed the children on the side, and sometimes occasionally helped a little.

Until both children fell asleep.

Zhou Shujie got up, put on his shoes and got off the kang, pushed open the door and walked outside.

She stood in the courtyard and looked around.

In the end, I decided to go to the warehouse to see if I could find something to mail to the pillar.

Zhou Shujie also feels very distressed, and she doesn't feel that there is anything missing at home!

I want to send something to the pillar, why do I feel that there is nothing left?

It's a bit of a struggle!

If it's winter, send him some jerky pheasant, roe deer meat, and other meat.

The temperature in winter is low and should not be bad. But in the summer, it's in trouble.

Anything can be mailed to him, even if it's jerky, he may not be able to let go.

Now this mail thing is going to the post office, but it's not the courier we came later.

A little farther away, it will take ten days and half a month to arrive.

It's summer!

Cover it there, you don't have to cover everything with long hair!

Zhou Shujie opened the door of the warehouse with infinite chagrin.

Stand inside and look at the mushroom hanging in front of you, the monkey's head.

These two things can be mailed to him, and it is estimated that he will also take them to the canteen to make a big nest of rice, and he will be with his comrades.

Zhou Shujie thought about it while finding the silk bag that the pillar mailed them and sent them back.

With a stool under his feet, he took off two large bunches of mushrooms hanging on the beams of the barn, and took down a bunch of monkey heads. She didn't pick many lion's mane mushrooms last year, and there are more than a dozen of them in this bunch.

Zhou Shujie put these two things in a bag.

Standing on the ground floor of the barn, I looked back and forth with my eyes.

The eyes, one by one from everything in the barn, settled on the hazelnut in the half-sack.

She didn't want to mail this thing to the pillar, she wanted to make something out of this hazelnut kernel.

What is it?

It's chow mein!

The fried noodles mentioned here are not the kind of noodles that are eaten now, fried with vegetables and meat.

It's the kind that is fried in dry flour, something like sesame paste.

It is a common food in Northeast China that can be washed with boiling water to relieve hunger.

In the Northeast in winter, because the days are short, I love to eat two meals, adults can bear it, children can't bear it, some adults will use flour to put a little oil in the pot to cook, every night before going to bed with boiling water to make a bowl, drink into the stomach can also top half full!

Zhou Shujie is going to do this, this simple fried noodles definitely don't use hazelnut kernels.

But she remembered that she had drunk a kind of fried noodles with sesame seeds, walnuts, and crushed peanuts inside, and it was chewy in her mouth. When you chew the nuts inside, they will have a special aroma, and they are much better than the usual fried white flour.

Zhou Shujie decided what to do, so he took the half bag of hazelnuts into the house.

Then he went out again and hugged a big wheat pole.

She had to fry the hazelnuts first, then smash them open, take out the hazelnuts inside, break them, and mix them into the fried flour.

It's a bit of a hassle, but it's going to be delicious.

Besides, if you want to mail something to someone, can you dislike the trouble?

Surely not!

Turn on the fire, boil the water in the pan, and pour half of the hazelnuts into the pot in two parts.

It took her about an hour until it was cooked out of the pot.

This fried hazelnut is a slow job, the fire can't be broken or rushed, if it's broken, it doesn't like to cook, and if it's urgent, it will be mushy.

Zhou Shujie put the fried hazelnuts into a big dustpan and carried them directly to the yard.

She took out a wooden pier, and took a small hammer that she usually used for nails, and sat down on the small bench, smashed the hazelnuts in a bangbang, threw the shells aside and kept them for the fire, and picked up the whole ren'er and put it in a separate small basin.

This smashed for more than an hour, and she didn't finish half of it, and she was a little impatient to smash her.

Hurry up and move around, go into the back garden and pluck a few small cabbages, and keep it for the evening to make soup and drink.

Putting the little cabbage into the house, she came out and sat in the courtyard again, and began the simple activities of Bang Bang Bang.

Anyway, in this half afternoon, in addition to going to the garden once, she also went to the toilet, and she has been sitting there without moving.

It's five o'clock, and it's time to make dinner.

The children in the house also woke up!

She's just finished smashing all the hazelnuts.

In the past, the child would not have been able to sleep until this time.

Today, because the pillar mailed back this package of things.

She and her mother-in-law read things and wrote letters, and the children were not sleepy until they were quiet.

Zhou Shujie stood up, moved his numb legs, and thought that it was too late today, so let's wait for tomorrow to make fried noodles, anyway, I still have time to rush.

She held the pot of smashed hazelnuts in her hand, and threw it into her mouth to eat as she walked towards the house.

A large dustpan of hazelnuts was smashed, and I got this pot full of kernels.

You won't need these to make fried noodles, and it doesn't matter if you eat some.

Zhou Shujie entered the house and put the hazelnut Ren'er in the bowl shelf.

She also grabbed a large handful, went into the back room, and put it in her mother-in-law's hand.

Let her eat, and he will take the child who wakes up, and he is busy urinating and breastfeeding.

Although my mother-in-law's teeth have not fallen out, she doesn't dare to eat hard things, and she only eats a large handful of hazelnut kernels, so she put away more than half of the shoe tops and needles and threads made on the side.

The room was already a little dark, and she couldn't see clearly, so she had to wait until tomorrow to do it.

After the old lady finished packing up the needle and thread, she took the child from her daughter-in-law's hand, and asked her daughter-in-law to cook dinner while it was still bright.

Dinner was also relatively simple, the second crop of cabbage planted in the garden had grown up, and she had made a few first, and used it to make half a pot of gada soup tonight.

She also broke up two eggs in the soup and poured them on top.

The white gnocchi, the green cabbage, and the yellow frangipani are packed in a pot, which makes people particularly appetizing.

When eating, Zhou Shujie also deliberately picked out a few pieces of frangipani and put them in a small bowl to cool, and the two children can now eat one or two bites less.

The two children wake up late in the afternoon and don't like to sleep at night.

After eating, they lit candles and played until eight o'clock, when their mother fed them milk powder and fell asleep.

Before the training, Zhou Shujie also saw that her mother-in-law carefully took out the letter from the pillar mail in the afternoon from her personal coat pocket.

With a piece of flowered handkerchief, it was tightly wrapped and stuffed under her pillow.

Night falls, and the sky is full of stars.

The croaking of cicadas and frogs was heard again, accompanied by the occasional barking of dogs in the village.

I suspect that these dogs were woken up by their owner's purring and only barked twice to tell their owner that everything was safe.

…………

The barracks is still the barracks, the tree is still the same tree, but the people on the tree have changed from one to two.

Pillars, I don't know when they developed this problem.

I don't say anything when I train underground on weekdays, and as long as I'm idle, I want to climb a tree and sit on a branch.

This time it was quiet, and neither of them spoke.

Li Dayou has been distressed, he received the letter today, his mother said that she wanted to find him a daughter-in-law.

The pillar was also thinking about whether the things he mailed back arrived home today.

If you get home, I don't know how my mother's body is?

Can two children get used to such milk powder?

Also, listening to the clothes, cloth and leather shoes that Otomo gave him ideas to buy, will the daughter-in-law and children like it?

In the past, he wrote letters to his family, just a few simple words.

When I came back from the battlefield this time, I felt that I had a lot to say to my family, so I wrote a much longer letter than usual.

I don't know when the reply from home to him will arrive.

When I thought of this, I couldn't help but sigh.

"Alas!"

"Alas!"

Two sighs rang out at the same time!

Zhu Zi and Li Dayou glanced at each other.

didn't say anything, Li Dayou threw away the cigarette butt that was only a little bit left in his hand.

The pillar threw away the little branch left in his hand, and the two men walked down the trunk, back and forth, back and forth to their respective barracks.
