There was a small episode at the three-way intersection, the husband and wife did not stop, continued to hurry, and when they arrived in the town, it was already night, in the dead of night, the sound of the carriage rubbing on the ground was clear, and the street was empty, and there was no trace of pedestrians.

"Husband, it's getting late, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang have already gone to sleep, right?"

The town was noisy during the day, but the night was different, Mo Xiaohe simply got out of the carriage and sat directly next to Gu Zheng, looking around. At the end of the year, every household began to have a festive atmosphere for the New Year, and the big red lanterns were hung at the door of the store.

The familiar street, entering in the front alley, is the home of the two. When the carriage stopped at the mouth of the alley, it was dark inside, and the lights had already been turned off in the house.

Mo Xiaohe doesn't like the dark very much, so she is at home, and she will light a lantern in the yard at night. In fact, the family conditions are good, since Gu Zheng promised to provide for the second elder, it is impossible to lose his word, but Aunt Zhang also said that habits are difficult to change.

"Why don't we go to my cousin's house for the night?"

There is not only a cousin in the town, but also the uncle's family, considering that going to the uncle's house may disturb a large family, it is better to disturb Mo Daya alone, Mo Xiaohe rubbed her stomach, the key problem is that now she is cold and hungry, and she wants to fill her stomach first, but she thought about it, "The alley of my cousin's house is narrow, the yard is small, and the carriage can't be put in." ”

At this time, at night, the carriage and horse shops in the town closed early, and the carriage could not be thrown on the street, and before returning home, the husband and wife planned to hire a carriage, and there was a coachman, and then arrange for the people to go to the inn.

"Why don't we go straight back to the village."

Gu Zheng clapped the board, it's not good to disturb anyone at such a late hour, since they are all back, the guest house is not presentable. There is a carriage here, the journey is fast, parked in the old house of Mojia Village, and the two of them enter the mountain again.

After dark, the direction was difficult to identify, even an old hunter with many years of experience did not dare to go to the mountains, but Gu Zheng did not have this concern, these burdens, clothes that were not needed, were temporarily placed on the carriage, and he carried his wife home.

"Okay."

When it comes to going home, Mo Xiaohe is as excited as if she has been beaten with chicken blood, she misses it very much when she leaves home for a few months, sometimes she dreams at night, she can dream of drinking tea and listening to the rain in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, she hasn't returned for so long, what is the home like? Will there be rats?

"There is rat poison everywhere in the room, and before we leave, all the bedding is wrapped in a big bag and put in the cabinet, and at most it will be a little dust."

Gu Zheng drove the carriage and quickly galloped away in the direction of Mojia Village. The road leading to the village is all dirt roads, it rained a few days ago, the potholes are not easy to walk, and the people are bumped to fall apart, but this does not stop Mo Xiaohe's enthusiasm to return home, she every quarter of an hour, pull the curtain to see, the scenery on both sides is becoming more and more familiar, about half an hour, the carriage stopped at the door of the old house.

After the Mo family moved away, there was nothing left in the house, there was not a single firewood in the firewood room, there was not a single grain of rice in the stove, and there were only a few sets of clothes that the family had not taken away.

As soon as the carriage entered the village, I don't know whose dog barked twice, and then, the whole village dog barked, and the villagers had already fallen asleep, and no one came out to investigate.

"Lady, you come up, I'll carry you home."

Gu Zheng packed up the package, left his clothes in the carriage, took a few things that Mo Xiaohe bought on the road, wrapped them in a wrapper, carried them in his hand, and pointed to his thick back, afraid that his wife would refuse, "I will carry you on my back, and I will be home in less than an hour." ”

"Husband, then I'll come up."

Mo Xiaohe is good and has more than 100 catties, the road into the mountain is steep, she is really afraid that her husband will be affected, but considering the current situation, she is one foot deep and one foot shallow, and her speed is slow, so she will definitely drag her feet, it is better to obey Gu Zheng's arrangement.

In order to get home early, Gu Zheng performed light skills, only to see him choose a direction, his figure flashed, he was tall but not bulky at all, and he shuttled flexibly between the mountains and forests, extremely fast, in the winter forest, half of the trees were withered and yellow, scattered, and half were intact, on the mountain, there were layers of snow.

Every time Gu Zheng swept over a low tree, Mo Xiaohe hurriedly lay down, buried his face in his back, and felt the whistling north wind in his ears and the crisp sound of the two of them hitting the branches.

Time didn't pass long, Mo Xiaohe hadn't gotten used to this rhythm, Gu Zheng had already stopped, and in front of them was the iron door at home.

"Husband, I'm home!"

Mo Xiaohe couldn't wait to jump down on Gu Zheng's back, touching the iron door with her hand, with a biting chill on it, making her hand shrink, until Gu Zheng opened the big lock, she took the lead and walked in.

Under the tree at the door, a red lantern was hung, and Gu Zheng lit it with flint to remove the fallen leaves and snow in the yard, which was basically the same as when the two left.

"Lady, you go into the house to keep warm, I'll go to the stove to make a fire first."

It was cold on the mountain, and the temperature was several degrees lower than that under the mountain, especially at night, the north wind blew the trees whirring, the ghosts cried wolves, and the wind was pervasive.

After not returning for a few months, only a thin layer of dust fell in the house, but there was some dust near the windowsill, Mo Xiaohe first dusted off the ashes with a clean cloth towel, and then scrubbed both sides with a wet rag, and the house became tidy again.

It didn't take long for the room to start to get hot, Mo Xiaohe rubbed her fingers that were almost frozen, laid out the futon, and touched the temperature on the kang, she was beautiful, it seemed that she would be able to sleep peacefully tonight.

Gu Zheng cleaned up the stove and put the food he bought, he didn't forget his wife's cold-sensitive physique, boiled a large pot of ginger brown sugar water, and brought it to the house, "Drink it in one go, I see you shivering with cold, and you are carefully infected with the wind cold." ”

A large bowl of brown sugar water was put on the small kang table, Gu Zheng tried the temperature of the warm kang, just burned it, and the temperature could come up after a while, he covered Mo Xiaohe's legs with a quilt, "There are not many things at home, I can only make some simply." ”

"Husband, it doesn't matter what you want, just eat a bite of hot food."

Mo Xiaohe frowned, she really didn't like the taste of ginger water, but her husband was watching from the side, her face was expressionless, she had to pinch her nose, put the bowl to her mouth, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Didn't you drink poison, is it so bad?"

Gu Zheng saw his lady's expression, his eyes became softer and softer, and he pinched her face. Ginger water is the most effective way to drive away cold, and it is a medicine that is poisonous, which is much stronger than drinking bitter medicine soup after being infected with wind and cold.

"It doesn't taste good."

After a bowl of ginger soup, Mo Xiaohe felt a little warm in her body, her pale cheeks gradually turned red, Gu Zheng was relieved, went to the backyard first, fished out a big fish in the pool, and saw that she still had some japonica rice at home, so she rolled a fish fillet porridge. The rest of the fish meat was chopped into surimi after he removed the thorns, added some flour, fried in an oil pan, and made handmade fish meatballs.

The cold-water fish in the pool, the fish is fresh and tender, there is no fishy smell, no matter how it is fried and fried, it is delicious, but there is one dish that is not enough, he used the remaining capers at home to fry the meat foam, and cut a salted duck egg, Gu Zheng was afraid that his wife would not be full, seeing that the steamed bun was cold and hard, he quickly cut it into slices, fried it on both sides in the oil pan, and it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, so it was served on the plate and served on the kang table.

"Wow, there's fish to eat!"

Mo Xiaohe thought that her husband was cooking ordinary porridge, turned it with a spoon, and found that there was something inside, she blew the hot porridge, squinted her eyes and put it in her mouth, the simple ingredients tasted unexpectedly good.

"The last time we ate at the stall, I happened to see the boss put the spices."

Gu Zheng sandwiched a fish ball into Mo Xiaohe's plate, "Made with the leftover fish meat, just fried out, you can taste it." ”

"Okay."

Mo Xiaohe was very hungry, and when she saw that a few side dishes were very exquisite, she immediately had a great appetite, she drank porridge spoonful by spoonful, steamed bread slices, fish balls, capers and meat foam, with them, not greasy, light and refreshing, which made people have a great appetite.

The husband and wife are also hungry, you clip me a chopstick, I will clip a chopstick for you, and soon the dishes will bottom out, and there will be nothing left.

A meal, eating is exceptionally comfortable, Mo Xiaohe gave Gu Zheng a thumbs up, Chef Gu, an absolute chef, is no worse than those boasted century-old restaurants, and her husband's comprehension ability is very strong, she is blessed.
