After selling the moon cakes, leaving the five of them to eat, as usual, today's dinner was at Shen Hui's house, Sister-in-law Qi and others brought the materials early, Wang Aihong and Sister-in-law Lin were selling moon cakes in the yard When Shen Hui and the three of them were cooking in the kitchen, when the courtyard door was closed, the food was also put on the table.

There is no morning exercise tomorrow, the men also drink a little wine, and the women eat early and take out the moon cakes and fruits to send to the children, making a bunch of gossip, the children hold a piece of moon cake and gnaw slowly, it is rare to be quiet and lie on the mother's lap to listen to the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun and Chang'e running to the moon.

It is said that the moon on the fifteenth is round and sixteen, and the moon is indeed missing a small horn tonight, but it is unusually bright, and the two oil lamps in the courtyard in the contrast look dim and muddy.

Shen Hui looked up at the moon in the sky blankly, it was really big and bright, but it was as clear as a pool of spring water, until her eyes were a little sour before she lowered her head.

Then her gaze swept over the man who was drinking, the woman with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and the child who blinked her eyes with a curious face, and suddenly felt that such a day was so good, there were no worries, it was all a good thing, and it would be nice if it could be like this all the time......

The time was not early, everyone dispersed, and the fifty-seventh finally quieted down, and it seemed extraordinarily quiet and serene under the cover of night, Shen Hui looked up at the stars crossing the sky, thinking about the past life today, tomorrow will be busy, and today will have to rest early.

Gu Zhengqin's amount of wine was very good, but I don't know if it was because he was happy, he was a little drunk, Shen Hui soaked a glass of honey water and handed it to him, and washed himself.

When she came back, she saw that he was already lying on the bed and asleep, the corners of her mouth curled, she took his coat for him and lay down next to him, blew out the lamp, the moonlight poured in, and the room was still clearly visible, she turned her body and hugged the waist of the person next to her, feeling extremely peaceful, and the sleepiness slowly spread, leaving only the light of a room.

Shen Hui, who had long been ready to sleep and couldn't sleep, was awakened by the sound of a loudspeaker early the next morning, and it was no surprise that the loudspeaker broadcast the news of the death of the national leader.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Central People's Radio broadcast a "Letter to the Whole Party, the Whole Army, and the Whole People," and the whole country was immersed in grief, and yesterday's hustle and bustle was like a dream.

No matter how chaotic the outside world was, the camp was quiet, and in October the news of the end of the Cultural Revolution was finally heard, but in general it did not affect their lives in any way.

In the blink of an eye, it was November, the weather was already very cold, Shen Hui bought a small stove and let Gu Zhengqin settle in the bedroom, I don't know when it will snow, when she is free, she and Sister-in-law Qi and others go to the mountains to collect firewood and accumulate at home, just in case, they still prepare some honeycomb coal at home.

Finally, when the day of snowflakes fell, the mood was not as dull and cheerful as I imagined, just like every day before, it went with the flow.

And at this time, the camp received a notice of conscription.

Gu Zhengqin was really right, the area in charge of the battalion happened to be the area where their village was located, because if he wanted to recruit scouts to form a reconnaissance battalion, he and the deputy company commander must go.

Although there is still half a month, Shen Hui has already begun to get nervous, as if she is the one who wants to check, which makes Gu Zhengqin cry and laugh, so she simply finds something for her to do, so as not to think nonsense all day long.

"Didn't you say that this stove can also roast chickens and ducks? Catch Ming'er and I'll go to the village to buy a chicken, let's roast and eat, and when I go back, I will bring two to my father-in-law and mother-in-law to taste." ”

Hearing this, Shen Hui's eyes lit up, and her worries about Shen Cong were instantly thrown away, and she was thinking about bringing something back to her parents and parents-in-law who hadn't seen her for almost a year.

Well, the moon cake must be brought, and it has to be baked by her own hands, roast chicken and duck, haven't baked it yet, let's be proficient first, followed by the specialty here, this has to go to the village to buy.

By the way, I have made a lot of money this year, and I have to honor the parents of both sides, but the old people have been used to thrift all their lives, and they are not willing to spend even if they get the money, so they must save it, so they don't have to give too much, but they can buy more things for other purposes, such as cotton clothes or something.

Just do it, that afternoon, Shen Hui and Sister-in-law Qi went to Xishui Village to buy chickens and ducks, well, it was still alive, she didn't dare to kill, it was Sister-in-law Qi who killed it at home and washed it and brought it over.

Because under the leadership of Shen Hui, she made a lot of money, and the family's economy was much better, so Sister-in-law Qi specially took out a duck to roast with her.

Shen Hui forgot that he had no experience at all, and Chef Niu was not there, so he had to follow the general barbecue procedure, marinate it overnight, and fill the chicken and duck belly with various seasonings the next morning, and brush it with a thin layer of honey on the outside.

In the oven, an iron bar is placed on the protrusions on both sides, the stove is hot, the chickens and ducks are hung in, and when the fragrance comes out, Shen Hui hooks the chickens and ducks out with iron hooks, the skin of the chickens and ducks is already burnt, and then brushed with a layer of honey on the outside and put it back in the oven, and at the same time make the fire under it a little smaller, so that the meat inside is slowly cooked.

In the anxious waiting, the fragrance coming from the stove became even stronger, and the two people who were standing in the hall with their hands shrunk their hands drooled, and they wanted to take it out and eat it now.

Before the two of them could figure out how to eat, the aroma hooked Sister-in-law Wang, Sister-in-law Lin, Wang Aihong and others to come over, and when they knew that it was roast chicken and duck, they couldn't help but complain about the two of them, and they didn't call them.

Shen Hui was also very aggrieved, yesterday she obviously asked them to go to Xishui Village to buy things together, but they were too cold and didn't want to go out.

The three of them couldn't help but touch their noses, but their eyes were glued to the oven, Shen Hui had no doubt that the three of them would definitely pounce on the oven as soon as they turned on the oven, thinking that the roast chicken and duck that had worked hard all morning were about to fly like this, she and Sister-in-law Qi glared at the same time, not wanting the three of them to turn a blind eye to thick skin.

When Gu Zhengqin came back for dinner at noon, he saw his daughter-in-law sitting at the table with a depressed face looking at the half roast duck in the middle of the table.

"What's wrong with you? Why are there only half a roast duck?"

"Hmph, it's not Wang Aihonglin's sister-in-law, one person grabbed half of them, and there is only half left, you can eat it quickly, I just took it out of the oven this time, and it's still hot, it's just the time to eat, and it won't taste good when it's cold later." Shen Hui was in a much better mood and put the plate of roast duck in front of Gu Zhengqin.

"You eat too, I can't finish it. ”

Gu Zhengqin said as he peeled off the crispy skin, tore off the tender duck meat and put it in his daughter-in-law's bowl, the daughter-in-law is a very picky eater, she doesn't eat the skin and only eats the meat, so it is suitable to live with a person like him who is not a picky eater.

Shen Hui looked at the duck meat in the bowl, his smiling eyes were bent, and he also put the braised fish pieces with chopsticks into Gu Zhengqin's bowl, he just raised his head, and the eyes of the two met in mid-air, looking at each other and smiling.
