Chapter 24: Striking New Faces (1)

braided the hair that was still dripping, and went to Aunt Guo's house to pick up the child.

When I walked into the courtyard of Aunt Guo'er's house, I saw Guo's second sister-in-law, her hair was also dripping, and she looked like she had just finished washing.

"Just washed," I greeted Guo's second sister-in-law with a smile.

"yes! I always felt gray, so I washed it. Let's pick up my mother-in-law and the child, who is still asleep. Guo's second sister-in-law said

"Hmm" I nodded and said, "I'm here to pick them up, so let's talk for a while and hug them when they wake up." Well, there's something I want to ask you. โ€

Second sister-in-law Guo looked at me curiously and asked, "What's the matter?"

At this time, Aunt Guo'er's door opened, and Aunt Guo walked out of the wet hair on her head. He looked at the two of us and asked, "As soon as I came out, I heard you say something, what's the matter?" โ€

I smiled and said, "It's a good thing, I just want to ask you if you want to go and eat some new noodles tomorrow." โ€

Hearing me say this, Guo's second sister-in-law looked at Aunt Guo with longing eyes.

Aunt Guo pointed her finger at Guo's second sister-in-law's head, and scolded with a smile: "What do you think I'm doing like this? I'm hungry for you......! This year's harvest is good, so it's okay to fetch two bags of wheat to eat."

As soon as she heard Aunt Guo agree, Guo's second sister-in-law's eyes lit up. It's not that Guo's second sister-in-law is greedy, it's that his children often ask her for white flour steamed buns to eat.

I smiled and said, "Then it's settled, I'll ask my aunt later." โ€

At this moment, a voice came through the gate. He said, "What is decided, what are you going to ask me?"

When I heard the voice and looked back, it turned out to be the eldest lady standing at the door, smiling and asking us.

Aunt Guo stepped forward a few steps forward and said, "Oh, you're a rare guest, come in and stay for a while."

The eldest lady smiled and said, "It's still a rare guest, I've been to your house a few times in the past few days." โ€

Aunt Guo also laughed and said, "Isn't that work? Usually you visit the door, but you rarely come. โ€

The eldest lady said, "I, I'm not here today." I also wanted to ask you something."

Aunt Guo looked at the eldest lady and said, "Oh! what's the matter?"

The eldest lady said, "I want to make some new noodles tomorrow for my old man to eat." I want to ask if you want to do something, so let's get together and go together. โ€

After listening to Aunt Guo, Second Sister-in-law Guo, and me, the three of us all laughed.

The eldest lady asked with a blank face: "What's wrong?

Aunt Guo smiled and patted the eldest lady and said. "It's not laughing at you, it's laughing at us...... That's what it countsใ€...... What is coming ....... Speaking of which, Aunt Guo looked at me and asked what is next?

I smiled and replied, "It's easy to understand what you know."

Clapping his hands and saying, "Yes, yes, that's what I said."

Auntie: "Ah......?"

Seeing that the eldest lady still didn't understand, Aunt Guo explained to her: "Just now, we were also talking about going to make new noodles, and we just said that we were going to your house to ask you, and you came, and that's exactly what you said." But no, just like the daughter-in-law of the pillar said, do you have a soul in your heart?

Guo's second sister-in-law covered her stomach with a smile and said, "Mother, that's called a little pass, not a bucket of pass" After speaking, she couldn't help laughing.

Aunt Guo said: "It's okay, it's all the same, it's almost fine." Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they said it, and their stomachs hurt when I laughed.

The matter of making a new face was decided in a burst of laughter.

My family has a bag of wheat, my mother's family has two bags of wheat, and Aunt Guo'er's family has a lot of people, so I have to beat three bags of wheat.

The third brother Guo drove the ox cart, and Aunt Guo went to the county seat with her to make flour.

You have to ask why ox carts are used, and horse-drawn carts are not faster? That's because they are now used by brigades to haul wheat. This ox cart is still a good way to borrow.

I woke up with my baby and my mother-in-law back home.

For dinner, I steamed a pot of rice with rice, made a persimmon egg soup, and added some dipping pickles.

I don't have any poultry at home, but these eggs are still sent to me by my eldest mother.

After dinner, I boiled some water and scrubbed my mother-in-law well.

When the water was cleaned up, it was dark, and the mother-in-law fell asleep on the kang with her half-dried hair.

After that, I fed the two children and played with them on the kang.

In the past few days, I have been busy harvesting wheat and have not taken good care of the children, but now I take a closer look at them.

If you look closely, these two little ones seem to have grown again.

"Mantou" grows less and is less noticeable.

The most obvious is "obedient", who was half a head younger than his brother when he was born, and now he is about to catch up with his brother. It is said that girls grow up fast, did they start at such a young age?

Looking at the two lively children, I feel that everything in the future is full of hope!

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he fell asleep with his arms around his two sleeping children.

At this time, in the depths of the dense forest thousands of miles away, there was a group of soldiers who were training for 15 days to survive to the limit.

They are not equipped with any thermal weapons.

There was nothing but ropes, wires, a dagger and a magnifying glass only for making fires.

In addition to ensuring the basic survival of the individual every day, it is also necessary to complete a round-trip mission of 800 miles within 15 days.

They were divided into groups of two, and were now walking through the dense forest.

Occasionally, you can hear exclaims: "Oh! Such a big wild boar must weigh 400 pounds." How many wild boars have we encountered in the past few days, and we still eat wild boar today, and there are too many wild boars in this mountain. โ€

Another voice came: "Fortunately, it's not winter, wild boars gather together in winter." A gang, a gang. If we still want to eat wild boar, it's good not to explain here. โ€

Another voice said, "In this way, our instructor is still quite human." I didn't let us in in winter, and I blamed him," he said, and he sighed.

His companion called to him, "Don't talk about it here, go quickly, you haven't reached 100 miles today."

Watching the soldiers under the tree walk away, the one sitting on the tree said to those sitting next to him, "Alas, I heard that I didn't praise you, saying that you are quite human." โ€

"You're the Chief Instructor"

"Yes, I'm the chief instructor, but didn't you come up with this idea? How did you come up with this idea? Seeing that you trained this group of soldiers, you couldn't make a fire in the first two days, and you were so hungry that you almost didn't eat raw meat, tell me how you came up with it. After asking, I didn't hear the answer of my comrade-in-arms, and glanced at the branch next to him, and saw that he was looking into the distance in a daze.

Then he asked, "Why don't you answer?" What are you doing over there?"

"It's time to harvest the wheat"

"Ah...... What?"
