In the evening, two men came to Qinghewan, stepping on the thick snow and wrapped tightly up and down, and one of them was carrying a small sack behind his back, which contained half a bag of things.

As soon as they entered Qinghe Bay, the two men looked around, and finally walked straight towards the end of the village. After walking for a while, he stopped in front of the courtyard of the Lin family, and the shorter man asked uncertainly: "Is this this home?" ”

"Eighty percent yes, just knock on the door and ask. The other put down the sack on his back and slammed the door twice.

The old lady was roasting sweet potato slices for Lin Qing with a brazier in the house, and when she heard a knock on the door, she told Xiao Lang not to burn it, and then hurriedly went over to open the door.

"Who are you looking for?" The old lady was startled as soon as she opened the door, and the two big men showed their eyes, and they looked really scary.

"Your family name is Lin No, let's find the old lady of the Lin family, her name is Lin Aqi. The tall man had a very thick voice, and when he took off his hat and the back of his neck, he looked like a real person.

When the old lady heard that she was looking for herself, she immediately wondered, "I am, what is the matter with me?"

"Someone in the county asked us to deliver something to your house, and a letter. So saying, the tall man brought the sack to the old lady, and took out a letter from his padded jacket and handed it over.

As soon as the old lady heard about the county, she knew that it was Zhang Qiming, and she took the letter and looked at it, sure enough, it was him, and the old lady hurriedly let the two of them in, "I'm really tired of you, come into the house and drink hot tea!"

The two of them helped carry the things to the courtyard, and Lin Qing and Xiao Lang came out to take a look. Uncle Tai also came out of the house and asked the old lady what was going on, and the old lady handed the letter to Uncle Tai: "Xiao Zhang asked someone to send something over." It is said that it is a New Year's gift given in advance, and the county is too busy for the New Year. ”

Saying that, the old lady asked the two people who had worked hard to carry things to come into the house to sit, and asked Xiao Lang to pour hot water, it was not easy on this snowy day.

The two men went into the house and drank a bowl of hot water to take a breath, and after a while they got up to leave, but the old lady would not let them. wanted to keep them for a meal, the two hurriedly waved their hands again and again, and said very sincerely that they did not come for nothing. I collected food stamps before I came, and it was not early, and I was afraid that it would be dark if I went back late.

In this way, the old lady couldn't stay any longer, so she took a few pieces of baked sweet potato chips for people to carry. Finally send them away.

The old lady got the sack into the hall. Untie the bag and take out the contents one by one. A pig's knuckle, a pair of pig's trotters, two boxes of biscuits and two bags of candy, the old lady looked at these things very helplessly, "If we didn't know that his family was having a good life, why wouldn't we be able to accept these." ”

"Count you as his old chief, if you don't accept him, you will definitely be in a hurry with you, that child is a serious person. Uncle Tai knocked the smoke pot. casually opened a bag of candy and grabbed a handful for Lin Qing and Xiao Lang. He also smiled and said: "Our family is not short of sugar and meat for the Chinese New Year this year, but it is delicious! Unlike the previous two years, you couldn't buy a ticket." ”

Not only the first two years, but also this year, there are tickets that can't be spent, and when it comes to those ten years, almost every year is a shortage of materials, except for food, other things are often out of stock, which is normal.

Lin Qing sighed secretly, didn't think about it anymore, peeled two pieces of candy and gave one to the old lady and her uncle, but she refused to eat it herself, the old lady coaxed her to feed her one, and then coaxed her and didn't open her mouth.

The days are getting closer and closer to the New Year's Festival, and the people in the village who have no meat dishes for the New Year have the idea of the southwest mountain, and while the sky is not snowing, three or five people make an appointment to go into the mountain together to see if they can grab something and go home.

Xiaozhu's father also followed, Xiaozhu's mother's belly is now more than eight months old, and it is estimated that she was born in the first month of the new year, this is a good month, and Grandma Sun is even more rare to praise Xiaozhu's mother, so Xiaozhu's father wants to go into the mountain to grab something and come back to make up for his daughter-in-law's body, but unfortunately he didn't catch anything after entering the mountain several times!

When Xiaozhuzi came to Lin Qing to play, she also spit out her father's stupidity, "I told him several times, it doesn't work without bait on the sleeve, he just didn't believe it, and he didn't catch anything until now!"

Lin Qingle couldn't do it, "Your dad might as well be the two of us, the pit we dug has fallen into several things, and when we go to the foot of the mountain, I have a way to catch things!"

Xiao Zhuzi's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the way?"

"Do you have fishing nets at home?" Lin Qing asked.

"Yes, but it's broken, with two or three small holes rotten. "The little bamboo gesture is about half the size of a child's fist.

"It's okay, you go and get it, I'll take something else, and we'll sneak out later......" As he spoke, Lin Qing leaned into Xiao Zhuzi's ear and whispered a few words.

After listening to Lin Qing's words, Xiao Zhuzi was very impressed, and then ran home.

Lin Qing was not idle, took out a few handfuls of special bait from the space, grabbed two handfuls of rice and stone-milled bud rice grains, turned out a small cloth bag and put things in one piece.

In the house, the old lady was not at home, saying that she was going to Grandma Wang's house, and the uncle was not there, Xiao Lang was at home, Lin Qing found him and asked him to follow, after all, she and Xiaozhuzi were too young, and there were some things that could not be done, so they had to count on him.

But Xiao Lang didn't want to go, and Lin Qing was not allowed to go, guarding the door just didn't allow her to go out of the yard, "Milk said, you are not allowed to go out, it's too cold, what if you get sick!"

Lin Qing glared at him angrily, but unfortunately someone didn't care, and finally had to shout pitifully: "Brother Lang~ I'll be back after a while, my grandmother won't know......" took Xiao Lang's hand, shook and dragged, blinked, and didn't forget to threaten: "If you don't let me go, I'll cry to you immediately!"

Xiao Lang is very powerless, the little girl's kung fu has always been unbeatable, "I'm afraid of you, say yes first, just a while, I will let you come back when you turn around, you can't play tricks again!"

Lin Qing nodded his little head, "I promise not to cheat!" But that's impossible, since you're out, how can you come back in a while!

Out of the courtyard gate, Xiao Lang carried Lin Qing to the foot of the mountain, the way into the mountain was stepped on a path out, halfway through, small bamboo suddenly emerged from behind the snow-covered haystack, which immediately startled Xiao Lang!

"Ah Qing, I brought it!" Xiao Zhuzi excitedly gestured to the fishing net he was dragging in his hand, and Lin Qing looked at it with great satisfaction.

Xiao Lang twitched the corners of his mouth: "You two are so bold!"

Lin Qing didn't answer, only urged him to hurry up, Xiaozhuzi was not stupid, and obediently followed behind as if he didn't hear it, this fishing net was really stolen by her.

At the foot of the mountain, Lin Qing asked Xiao Lang to find a quiet place, no one could disturb him, and he also found a few thin branches, inserted them in a triangle on the ground, covered them with fishing nets, and put mixed bait on the central snow covered by fishing nets.
