On the third day, Lin Chun also had to help Qiusheng make cabinets and other things.

Qiusheng stopped him and said, "Don't get it." I'll do it myself. Chop some bamboo, weave a few bamboo baskets, and there are many things that cannot be filled. Let's go, it's going to be the right day in a few days, and there will definitely be a lot of things going on at home in the next two days. ”

He's talking about Xia Sheng's parents.

Lin Chun thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then let's go." You cut down more tree material to dry, and when the second brother's business is done, I will come again. ”

Qiusheng agreed and accompanied them on the road.

Because they also have to hunt some game and bring it home.

Lin Chun is going to hunt bison.

There are very few wild cattle near Quanshui Village, Lin Chun has seen them in this mountainous area, so he took Qiusheng and Du Juan to find the mountain forest where bison were found before, and the brothers and Rufeng joined forces to hunt and kill two cows. Rufeng ate half of it alone, and the rest was all divided into pieces, and the three of them returned with hundreds of catties of beef.

Because of the extra beef, Qiusheng has been sending them to the mountains near Quanshui Village. Lin Chun was about to persuade him to go home, but he didn't leave, unloaded the beef and distributed it to Lin Chun and Rufeng, and wanted to turn back.

Lin Chun couldn't, so he told him a few words before leaving with Du Juan.

Watching the two disappear into the forest, Qiu Sheng slowly turned around.

In the mountains and forests, he is like a lonely wolf, always walking alone......

When Lin Chun and Du Juan arrived home, it was already late.

The Lin family and the Huang family were flickering with lights and noisy voices. A row of red lanterns hangs under the porch of both houses, rendering a dim and hazy festive atmosphere. The cuckoo was very happy to see it, and smiled at Lin Chun: "This is starting to make trouble?" It's not time yet! ”

Lin Chun was also very happy in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's time to start preparing." Relatives who travel far away will come early. Look at your home. It must be from your grandfather's house. ”

The cuckoo listened to the crisp laughter coming from the Huang family's courtyard, and estimated that it was.

The laughter was a girl's voice. It sounds like it's my cousin Cui'er.

When I think of Cui'er, I think of Qiusheng. I can't help but feel sorry for myself.

At this time, Huang Lao Er came out of the courtyard of the Huang family, saw the two cuckoos, and hurriedly shouted, "Cuckoo is back?" Ouch, what is this? ”

As soon as he came forward, he picked it up.

The cuckoo laughed, "It's beef." Uncle help me move in. I'm exhausted. ”

Huang Lao Er hurriedly said: "Give it to me, give it to me." ”

The cuckoo leaned sideways for him to remove the basket, and then kept kneading his shoulders with both hands.

Lin Chun said to her: "I'll take these back first, and I'll divide some later." ”

The cuckoo said: "Enough, no need to divide it anymore." There are many guests in your family, but there are not so many people in our family, so much meat is enough. I've hunted many others in the first few times. ”

Huang Lao Er also said that enough was enough. Said that the menu was all ready.

After saying that, the two went to the hospital.

Lin Chun saw her enter, and only then did he greet Rufeng into the Lin family.

This is the first time since leaving home that Cuckoo has returned home.

She had been home countless times before, and there was nothing wrong with her.

Huang Lao Er carried the beef into the kitchen, and the cuckoo followed. When the people in the kitchen saw the cuckoo, they all greeted him happily and greeted him with a burst of greetings.

It turned out that Aunt Feng, Aunt Feng Mingying, and Aunt Du Shi were busy in the kitchen, distributing and preparing tomorrow's dishes, and frying chestnuts and hazelnuts. Feng lit the fire under the stove and talked to them by the way.

The cuckoo was very happy to see his aunt, and talked for a long time.

Seeing that they were all elders, he smiled and asked, "Why are you all busy?" ”

Du Shi smiled: "No, who else are we busy?" They hadn't seen their cousins for a long time. It's not enough to talk together, there's still time to cook! My cui'er is a few on top, and I play by myself so that the orioles and finches are also accompanied. She wasn't enough. He also said that the cuckoo was so busy, and he knew that she was coming and was not waiting at home. What do you do in the mountains, it doesn't matter if they have meat or not! ”

Everyone laughed.

The cuckoo couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Feng Shi took a face wash and a cloth towel. Shout cuckoo to wash his face.

The cuckoo rolled up her sleeves and walked to the washstand to wash, and she watched.

I saw that she was dressed in a gray coarse cloth tight-fitting short dress like a boy, with a package diagonally on her back; His hair was tied in a turban, and he wore a fur hat on the outside, and his hair was unkempt when torn off, and a thin dead branch was stained on it; The boots on his feet were also stained with mud, and Feng couldn't help but feel sour.

Stretched out his hand to pluck the thin dry branches, and complained: "It's not enough to have all that meat, what kind of beef do you want!" For the New Year, if you fall into a ravine, I'll see what you do! ”

Du Juan smiled: "Brother Qiusheng and Lin Chun hunted." ”

Hearing Lin Chun's name, Feng's heart was blocked and he was silent.

At this time, Feng Mingying and Feng Gu had already taken the beef out of the basket and put it on the board, and everyone praised it again and again for saying that the meat was good.

Du Shi smiled: "First wipe it with salt and put it away, and then add a beef roasted radish to the banquet, which is the most fragrant." ”

The crowd was overjoyed.

Seeing that the cuckoo was washed, Feng Shi turned around and went to the stove to bring down the casserole, and said in a bowl, "This is just hot soup and rice." It's your favorite chestnut roast chicken, and it's also stuffed with mushrooms. If you don't eat those spicy foods at night, I won't get anything else. ”

The cuckoo nodded, took it and said, "Thank you, mother." ”

Feng said angrily: "What is the family thanks!" ”

I was very dissatisfied with her polite detachment.

Cuckoo smiled, she used to be so good or not. Casually thank, that's a habit brought by the previous life, and it's not like this, my mother is too careful.

Feng Mingying pulled her to sit down at the small square table to eat, while she also drew a small stool to sit on, and whispered close to her and asked, "That...... Autumn ...... Where did it go? ”

The cuckoo blinked when he heard this, and said, "Let it go to the mountain!" ”

Feng Mingying glanced at her, looked at her eldest aunt and sighed.

It turned out that she had heard Du Juan say that the Lin family wanted to ask for Cui'er, but who knew that Huaihua made such a fuss, and now it can't be said, and she ruined a good family in vain.

The Feng family also cares about the Lin family, and they also have to ask Du Juan carefully.

Before he could say anything, the oriole rushed in from outside the kitchen.

Seeing the cuckoo, he shouted happily: "Second sister! ”

The cuckoo swallowed hard and asked, "Are you crazy?" ”

Huang Li squeezed around her and sat down, and smiled embarrassedly: "My cousin and sister-in-law are here." My cousin also came. Sister Cui'er said about you just now. Let's go, go to the room. ”

The cuckoo hurriedly said, "Wait until I'm done." Otherwise, how can you eat and talk? ”

Feng scolded Huang Li: "You think people like you are crazy!" ”

Huang Li stuck out his tongue. Go find a plate with fried chestnuts and hazelnuts.

The cuckoo ate the meal in two bites and rinsed it. I went out with the oriole.

When she came to the upper room, she entered the hall and heard bursts of laughter coming from the room where she used to live, and there was also a circle of people sitting around the fire bucket in the hall, it was Aunt Huang and several nieces and daughters-in-law.

The cuckoo came forward to greet him and called him "Grandma".

Aunt Huang responded awkwardly, and said indifferently: "I'm back." ”

The daughters-in-law also looked at her curiously.

The cuckoo smiled, didn't care, and said a few words. And he went into the room.

When I went in, I saw that the room was full of purple and red, arhat beds, round tables, sitting, crooked, and standing; There are teenage girls, little daughters-in-law, and a few years old little girls; Some eat fruit. Some played games, and a few gathered around the shisha master and servant, watching them comb the hair of a little cousin.

A girl in purple saw the cuckoo's eyes light up, and ran over briskly to hold her hand. He cried out with joy: "Cuckoo, why did you go for a few days before you came back?" ”

Du Juan smiled and said, "Sister Cui'er, I heard your voice from afar." ”

Cui'er raised her eyebrows and pulled her to sit on the bed. A crowd of people gathered around to greet him.

In addition to my grandfather's cousins and sisters-in-law, there are also big sisters. and the daughters of Uncle Lishugou's cousin, plus Huang Que'er and others. There are always a dozen.

At this time, the hookah had already been combed, and he and Hongling each raised a target mirror one after the other, so that the little girl could see it by herself.

Everyone praised when they saw it, saying that the hookah and the red were dexterous.

Cui'er hurriedly shouted, "It's my turn!" It's my turn! Sister Fang help me comb it. ”

Fang Huofeng, that is, Zan Shisha, smiled modestly, politely came over to greet Du Juan, and then opened Cui'er's hair and combed it carefully.

When the cuckoo looked at this, he couldn't stop smiling.

At this time, Huang Li came out with a few plates of snacks from the inner room and said to the cuckoo: "Second sister, this is ...... You taste it. I see you haven't eaten enough. ”

She almost said, "This is what Sister Fang did", but fortunately she remembered it and stopped again.

Ran Cui'er said, "This is done by Sister Fang and Hong Ling. It's delicious. ”

The cuckoo saw that the snack was indeed very delicate, it should be made of chestnut flour, corn flour, red bean flour and peanut kernels, it seems that they have learned to use the materials for their own purposes, and try to make food from local materials, and never waste them again.

Where did she have an appetite, so she reluctantly picked a chestnut cake and put it in her mouth to eat.

Outside the hall, there was a loud voice from Aunt Huang: "Huofeng lives in you, that's your blessing, her cooking skills are better than cuckoos, she can sew, embroider, and do all kinds ......of housework."

The cuckoo suddenly felt that the pastry in his mouth tasted the same as bean dregs.

Huang Li saw that her face had changed, and she couldn't help but be confused, regretting that she shouldn't have brought snacks.

Huang Que'er came over to interrupt and wanted to pull her over and whispered Qiusheng's whereabouts, but Cuckoo stood up and said, "I should go back." After being outside for several days, it stinks, so I need to wash it well. ”

Cui'er was laughing with Fang Huofeng Hongling, and said that everyone would play cards when they had combed their hair.

Suddenly, after listening to the cuckoo's words, he turned his head and asked in surprise, "Where are you going back to the cuckoo?" ”

She didn't even know that Du Juan had left the Huang family. It turned out that the Feng family only came today, and there were outsiders there, and Huang Qi'er and the others hadn't had time to tell them about it.

Fang Huofeng's face changed, and he was a little overwhelmed by the comb.

Du Juan smiled, didn't answer, and only asked, "Cousin Zhiming, they are also here?" Where? I'll go see them. ”

Huang Que'er knew that she didn't want to stay, and she didn't embarrass her, so she hurriedly said, "I'll take you there." ”

So he took her by the hand and went out.

Here, Cui'er still had to ask, but Fang Xing'er pinched her hand, and her eyes stopped, full of doubts.

Let's say that the cuckoo went out with the yellow finch and met the eyes of Aunt Huang, looking very proud, as if to say, the better you go home.

The cuckoo ignored him and went straight out with the yellow finch.

In the east wing where Huang Yuan lived, there were also bursts of laughter, all of which were juvenile voices.

Since the wing room was built and Huang Yuan moved in, Du Juan has not come in here, because he moved the house for Fang Huofeng, and then there were accidents one after another, and Du Juan left.

At this time, when I came in, I naturally looked around. (To be continued......)
