Zhou Shujie asked him again: "How thick is the ice frozen now, it's not easy to get up." ”

Brother Tuesday said: "Now this ice has to be more than a handful thick, and my eldest brother and I are chiseled with big axes." ”

As he spoke, he opened the door and entered the house.

Sister-in-law Zhou was waiting at the door of the inner room, and when she saw them coming in, she walked up to Brother Zhou and said, "Is there more fish or more toads, look at it like this, open it and let me see!"

Brother Zhou, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at his daughter-in-law with doting eyes, and opened the bag for her to see enough.

As soon as she saw the dense toads in the bag, Sister-in-law Zhou was like seeing cooked vegetables, and her eyes lit up and said, "Wow, there are so many, enough for us to eat several meals." turned around and greeted Zhou Shujie again: "Come and see my sister, this toad is so old, your family life is so good, my father has never fixed these things, and he rarely eats this at home." ”

Zhou Shujie walked over, took a look at the bag, and said to Zhou's sister-in-law, "Well, it's quite a lot." It's okay, now our home is also your home, and you can often eat this in the future, but I'm afraid that you will eat enough in the future and don't want to eat. "Finished. glanced at Brother Zhou again and asked, "Isn't it, big brother." ”

Brother Zhou nodded and said, "Yes," he looked at his daughter-in-law and said, "You like to eat these, I will often get them for you in the future." ”

Zhou Shujie joked with her sister-in-law: "Oh! Look at my eldest brother, how much I love you! Sister-in-law, hehehe." ”

Sister-in-law Zhou's face turned red when she was teased by Zhou Shujie, and she glared at Brother Zhou affectionately, and Brother Zhou smirked.

Tuesday brother brought the laundry basin from the warehouse. He poured the toads and fish in the bag into the basin, which happened to fill a large laundry tub.

Zhou Shujie and the four of them, while the toad was frozen and had not yet recovered, moved together, and the male and female were packed in different bags or basins.

It took half an hour to finish picking out the frozen red.

Brother Zhou left Zhou Shujie a large pot of female toads and a small pot of large male toads.

Brother Zhou specially set aside half a pot of male and female ginseng for Zhou Shujie, and asked her to send this to Aunt Guo'er's family in a while.

A few palm-sized crucian carp in the basin were all given to Zhou Shujie to let her boil soup and drink.

When Brother Zhou and the others set up the net, they threw the fish and toads that were too small back into the water, so that they would not be eaten next year.

After sending off his brothers and sisters-in-law, Zhou Shujie returned to the house. The male toad and the female toad grabbed two handfuls of each and put it in a single basin, which Zhou Shujie planned to eat at night.

The rest was poured into a bag by Zhou Shujie and put on the firewood in the side building.

Zhou Shujie took the pot that Brother Zhou specially left, and went out to send it to Aunt Guo's house.

The stewed toad with sauce for dinner was particularly delicious, and even Zhou Shujie's mother-in-law said it was delicious.

During the meal, Zhou Shujie asked her mother-in-law: "Mother, do you know what we are eating?"

The mother-in-law stared at the toad and leg meat in the bowl for a while, and said uncertainly, "Meat."

"Hmm" Zhou Shujie nodded and said, "It's meat, but what kind of meat is it?" As he spoke, Zhou Shujie also deliberately added a whole toad to the plate to show her mother-in-law.

Mother-in-law, staring at the toad on Zhou Shujie's chopsticks for a long time, opened her mouth and said, "Quack." ”

"Hehe!haha!, yes, it's quack, the toad is croaking. Haha!" Hearing her mother-in-law's answer, Zhong Shujie's tears came out of her eyes.

Holding back the laughter, Zhou Shujie told her mother-in-law in detail again. "Mother, it's called a toad, come, you learn from me, I'll say it again and again." Toad"

"Mom Clam"

"Haha! It's a toad. ”

"Toad"

"Yes, mother-in-law is awesome!"

Hearing Zhou Shujie praise her for being awesome, the old lady smiled with wrinkles on her face.

The meal ended with laughter.

The current Zhou Shujie's family eats two meals, so it was not dark when they finished eating.

In those days, if you ate three meals when you weren't working, everyone would think that you were a ruined old lady who couldn't live.

In the winter, the family eats two meals. If the greedy half-sized child is hungry at night, he usually buries a few potatoes in the brazier to fight his hunger.

Zhou Shujie, looking at the egg-yellow sun unique to winter, slowly set down the West Mountain.

Hurriedly took advantage of the fact that it was not yet dark, and hurriedly grabbed a few firewood into the house, she always felt that the day was getting colder and colder, and maybe it would snow tonight. Grab more firewood now, and if it's cold at night, it's better to burn the stove once.

At five o'clock it was completely dark, and the candlelight was measured in the room.

That's right! Zhou Shujie lit candles today, and all the kerosene lamps he lit used to be, but the black smoke from kerosene lamps was particularly heavy.

In winter, it gets dark early, and the time will be long, Zhou Shujie was afraid that the smoke of the kerosene lamp would smoke the child, so he spent two yuan to buy four packs of candles.

Zhou Shujie teased the child and her mother-in-law to talk there, although no one could understand what they said, they were basically talking about chickens and ducks, and they were very happy.

I played until half past seven, when my mother-in-law and the children were so sleepy that they couldn't open their eyes, so they blew out the lamp, undressed and lay down on the bed, intending to sleep.

The lights went out, and the night fell silent, and after a while the child and the mother-in-law were asleep.

Zhou Shujie was lying there thinking about the pillar, not knowing where he was transferred, and he hadn't written for more than a month, which made Zhou Shujie worry about it.

Lying in this quiet night, you can even hear the sound of snow falling outside.

"Hmm" Is it snowing outside?

Zhou Shujie got up and put on his clothes. When he came to the outhouse, he lit the kerosene lamp by the pot and pushed the door open.

On a snowy night, if there is no moonlight, with the kerosene lamp held high in his hand, he can still see the big snowflakes falling from the sky, and a layer has fallen on the ground after a while.

Zhou Shujie said to herself: "Look like this, it's going to snow heavily tonight." ”

"Where are you, pillar, and is it raining or snowing there?"

Her question was answered by no one.

Closing the door, Zhou Shujie returned to the house, lay on the kang and slowly fell asleep, not knowing if she could see the person she wanted to see in her dream.

When it's snowing there.

……

But he was in the dense forest, shuttling to avoid the flying bullets and bullets.

His face was covered with sweat, and this was the third battle he had brought with his trained soldiers back to the Yuenan battlefield.

Once, they failed, because they didn't adapt to the climate of the rainforest, and their special operations team suffered heavy losses.

He withdrew from the battlefield and spent half a year retraining a group of special operations soldiers with a mission.

Now, he's back on the battlefield to complete the mission they didn't finish last time.

Who is he? He is Sun Jinzhu, and he is Zhou Shujie's dreamman.
