Xiang Gang is also a talker, and the next day he went up the mountain again to help her get all the belongings in the Tunshan cave back. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Of course, with Xiao Jin's prior advice, the snake brother who dutifully guarded the cave did not show up to attack Xiang Gang. Although after appearing, it is still unknown who will attack whom.

Xiang Gang has always liked to do things with half the effort. No, in addition to carrying back her belongings, she also carried back two bundles of dry firewood by the way.

It's just that the firewood room of the Zhang family has been hoarded with firewood that he has brought back from the mountains one after another these days, and these two bundles of firewood have been sent to Qingling's house. Even if you live alone, you have to open fire anyway. What's more, firewood has no expiration date, and it can be used for as long as it is placed.

"Do you want to eat wild honey?" Xiang Gang neatly folded the firewood for her, took the wet cloth towel she handed over, and asked while wiping his sweat.

"Wild honey, where is it?" Qingling's apricot eyes lit up, who doesn't like delicious things.

Xiang Gang looked at her sparkling eyes, and a light smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth: "There are on the mountain, but you have to prepare something." ”

To dig out the honeycomb unprepared is undoubtedly self-defeating. Being chased by ferocious wild bees is no joke.

Torches are first needed to dig out the honeycomb, because the bee colony is afraid of smoke. If possible, it is best to wear a protective garment with a hood. If not, you can apply some mud to the exposed area. Accidentally stung by a bee, there is a thick layer of mud shell protection.

In addition to the above safety preparations, it is also necessary to bring a sickle and a handle bucket to hold the cut honeycomb.

Qingling listened with interest, raised her hand and proposed: "I want to go too." ”

"No, I can't. Xiang Gang glanced at her, with thin arms and short legs, she couldn't run fast, not to mention that her arms were still bandaged. There is no room for negotiation.

Then why do you tell her so much? Qingling glared at him, this is not a subtle temptation.

Xiang Gang chuckled for a while, raised his hand and rubbed the top of her hair: "Good, wait at home, take it back for you to eat." Then he went home and made torches.

Regarding digging honeycombs, there is a folk saying called "seven floors and eight splits".

It is said that the honeycomb can be dug in July, and the honeycomb can be cracked in August. And the benefit of digging is the highest when the moon is short, because there are more larvae in the hive at this time.

Xiang Gang was lucky, and in the mountains in August, he found a ripe cracked honeycomb. Visually can take out more than ten catties of honey.

Get ready, take advantage of the night has not yet fallen, and go into the mountains to dig for honeycombs.

The second elder of the Zhang family didn't know about this, and if he knew, he would definitely stop it, so when he saw that it was dark, he didn't see Xiang Gang coming over for dinner, so he asked Qingling to go to the old house of the Xiang family to call someone: "It's all at this point, why don't you come back? Don't something stumble, right?"

Qingling went to the bridgehead to turn around, and then went straight to the foot of the mountain along the ridge road, waiting under the big mulberry tree that Xiao Jin often squatted on, and waited for Xiang to just go down the mountain.

Due to Xiang Gang's careful planning, the honeycomb operation can be described as smooth sailing. After the torch was lit, the adult bees were smoked and scattered, so they found a safe place to plant the torch, and then cut the heavy honeycomb into the bucket piece by piece with a sickle in one hand and a bucket in the other.

When the torch is almost burned, and there is a lot of honeycomb in the barrel, retract the sickle and quickly withdraw.

Even if there are still a lot of honeycomb residues hanging on the branches, you can't ask for it at this time. Once the bees come back in droves, the gains outweigh the losses.

Qingling waited at the foot of the mountain for less than a quarter of an hour when she saw someone coming up covered in mud. Looking at it coldly, a mud monkey alive, where is there still the image of a soldier?

"Poof......" she couldn't hold back her laughter.

Xiang just saw her gloating, and unexpectedly scraped the tip of her delicate little nose with a muddy hand, and said with a low smile: "Now we are the same." No one can make fun of anyone. ”

Qingling rolled her eyes darkly. But for the sake of the large chunks of honeycomb in the barrel, don't bother with such a childish act with him.

Savoring the touch of the tip of my index finger on the tip of my nose, I shuddered at the tip of my freshly flushed ear.

Hurriedly changed the topic: "Can you move it? I will send you to the bridge, you can bring it home first, and I will go to the river to take a bath." I'll see you at Uncle's house in a while. ”

Qingling wiped the mud off the tip of her nose and looked at him suspiciously: "Don't you plan to talk to the master and the master about this?"

"Well, let's not talk about it, lest they worry. Come back and give them a try. Let's just say that the county bought it, or asked an acquaintance to get it. ”

Qingling thought about it, the master and the mother were old, and when they heard them sneaking up the mountain, they might be worried. Although she knew in her heart: with Xiao Jin here, wolves and other fierce beasts would not appear on the nearby mountains. But the second elder didn't know.

"Okay, then I'll go back first. You take a shower and go to the master's house quickly. They're still waiting for us to have dinner. ”

To the head of the low pier bridge, the two separated. Qingling walked home with the honeycomb, and her heart was sweet.

Not only because he took out a bucket of wild honeycomb to give her, but also because it was a secret exclusive to her and him.

When I got home, I drove the two chickens into the chicken coop by the way, and then rushed to the master's house to eat, and it was completely dark.

Xiang Gang was actually already there, took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and sat in the courtyard with Zhang Youkang chatting refreshingly. This speed is really worthy of the troops.

"Girl, where did you go to find Gangzi?" Zhang Youkang teased her with a smile, "His house is just across the river from your house, why do I feel like you are running around our entire brigade?"

Qingling Qiao's face flushed, and she said in her heart that she could be blamed for this, it was obviously his reason. She's just kind enough to cover for him, okay? actually watched the play with a smile on the side, and didn't explain a word for her.

But thinking of the bucket of honeycomb at home, let alone being able to pull out five or six catties of honey, he gave it to her, and he didn't keep it at all. Since she has all the benefits, the master's jokes can only be endured. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a bit unkind?

At this time, Grandma Zhang came out with the dishes and relieved her: "What's this, it's normal that the two roads in front of and behind Gangzi's house are staggered." Come on, come on, sit down and eat, let's talk while eating. ”

Zhang Youkang asked about the progress of the renovation of the house, and Xiang Gang answered them one by one.

In general, it would be more or less busy for two more days, but he still wanted to pave the floor in the front yard with stone slabs, so that the rain would not be potholed and muddy. As for the backyard, a road is set aside to connect to the river port, and the rest is still used to grow vegetables and raise chickens.

Although he is away from home all the year round, since he plans to marry a daughter-in-law, the family must always be decently decorated.

Even if he is promoted to a battalion-level cadre, he will have a two-bedroom family house, if she wants, she can go to live in the station with him at any time, but she will definitely have to come back during the New Year's holidays. After all, both of them have their roots here.

In the past seven years, the reason why I haven't returned is that the first few years are evasion, and the second few years are involuntarily.

Fortunately, the most difficult days have passed, and in the future, whether you are a small family, I believe it will get better and better.
