Wu Mingjiang killed all the chickens and ducks in the family, and planned to raise another batch after the New Year. Now, over the years, there are no more young people in the village, and those thieves are getting bolder and bolder.

The old people worked hard to raise some chickens and ducks, but they were stolen without paying attention. The thieves were so bold as to drive at night to steal big animals like pigs and sheep, and even if they found the women and the elderly, they did not dare to chase them.

In previous years, when there were many people in the village, I found that a thief had entered the village, and when I shouted, the whole village came out, how could the thieves be so bold.

Wang Chunhua was busy in the kitchen. The chicken and duck meat were to be put away and waited for the children to come back for the New Year to eat, so the two of them made some sauerkraut and fried it in the water.

Wang Chunhua's cooking skills are very good, the sour chili peppers are fishy, the celery is fragrant, and the poultry is fried in this way without fishy smell, and it is sour and refreshing.

The bacterial liver of poultry (the stomach of chickens and ducks and other poultry in Sichuan is called bacterial liver) is chewy, and Wang Chunhua boiled it with water. Cut into thin slices, toss with red oil, peppercorn noodles, and sprinkle with chopped green onions, which is a great accompaniment to the snack.

Wu Mingjiang sat in the courtyard, basking in the sun and smoking a leaf cigarette.

Cooking smoke is rising from the chimney, the smell of vegetables wafts from the kitchen, and the woman is busy in the kitchen.

Such a calm and bland happiness ripples like water in Wu Ming's heart.

After his mother-in-law died, he hadn't been like this for a long time.

Living with my son and daughter-in-law always feels a little awkward. Young people feel outdated in their own words, and they can't talk about their own topics. The food is not to my taste, and I don't dare to say a word, for fear of annoying people. The family lives like an outsider, but it is a little cautious. Especially at night, when the whole family gathers around to watch TV, it always feels redundant to sit on the side. Lying on the bed, alone, always tossing and turning and waiting for the dawn.

It's good to have a companion, a young couple and an old companion, this is true!

"Sister Chun, your skills are good. There is no fishy smell at all in this water, and this bacterium liver is very tasty. Wu Mingjiang took a bite of food and took a sip of wine.

"I love to eat, I'll make it for you every day in the future."

"Well, I'm blessed."

"It's also my blessing to meet you."

The love words of the old people also make people blush and intoxicated. Wu Mingjiang was really a little drunk, his face was slightly red, his eyes were foggy, and he was reluctant to let go of Wang Chunhua's hand.

Wang Chunhua just laughed and kept picking up vegetables for Wu Ming. It's this kind of lunch that tastes good.

"Fifth brother, come to my house in the afternoon and help me kill those chickens and ducks. I'm a woman, and I don't dare to use a knife. Make those things into preserved chickens and ducks, and wait for the babies to come back and let them take them back to eat. The city is scarce about these things that have not been fed. ”

"Okay, you can do whatever you want."

"The babies also said that they would give us a wedding wine and invite everyone in the village to drink."

"Don't do this, what kind of wine do you put when you're old, don't let the babies worry about it. It's good that we can be together and that the babies can support us. ”

"That's what I mean, you said that you're old and still have a happy wine, and it's embarrassing to make people make a new girl. It's all an old woman, what a new girl. Wang Chunhua said that she laughed.

"Not old, you look good, I like those new girls better." Wu Mingjiang said and kissed Wang Chunhua on the forehead with the strength of wine.

"Hell, you have more eyes." Wang Chunhua pushed Wu Mingjiang, but there was some sweet shyness in her heart. I haven't been like this when I'm young, this old guy has watched too many TV series, and he learned from young people. However, she liked that he was so bad, and she wanted him to be even worse.

After lunch, Wu followed Wang Chunhua to his home. When passing by Wang Sijie's mahjong parlor, I was inevitably teased by those who played mahjong. Those juniors are still clamoring for him to buy candy to eat. Wang Chunhua was very generous and bought several catties of candy to distribute to those people. She wants everyone to know the joy in his heart and share her joy.

Wu Mingjiang killed all the chickens and ducks raised by Wang Chunhua, and helped her clean up.

Wang Chunhua found a bamboo pole and put it on the roof of the small building, hung up the cleaned chickens and ducks, drained the water, and made them into preserved chickens and ducks.

"That's a good day." Wu Mingjiang sat by the guardrail on the roof of the building, looking at the blue sky and white clouds overhead.

Wang Chunhua's house is a small two-story building, like most farmhouses in Sichuan, but the terrain of her house is relatively high, and she can see far away from the top of the building.

"Fifth brother, you're tired, sit upstairs and bask in the sun and rest for a while. I'm going to make you a cup of tea. Wang Chunhua said and went downstairs.

After a while, Wang Chunhua took two stools and came upstairs with a cup of tea.

Wang Chunhua sat next to Wu Mingjiang, weaving a pair of woolen shoes in her hand: "Fifth brother, I'll knit a pair of woolen shoes for you." Nowadays, it is fashionable to wear these shoes, which are warm and do not stink feet. ”

"Okay, okay." Wu Mingjiang held the teacup in both hands and looked at Wang Chunhua in the sun.

The water in the teacup is warm, and the tea leaves rise and fall in the cup, as if they are dancing slowly. Wu Ming's heart also danced with the ups and downs. Take a sip of tea gently, and your mouth is full of a faint fragrance.

Wu Mingjiang wanted to stop this time like this, stop in this warm sunshine, in this leisurely fragrance of tea.

The bamboo forest around the small building swayed and rustled in the sunlight.

Outside the small building, in the field, rape flowers are all over the sky and golden. It's only been a few days, and the rape flowers have bloomed so vigorously, this winter is really gone, and this spring is really coming. Why didn't Wu Mingjiang find out a long time ago?

The wind blew and brought the rich fragrance of rape flowers, and even the buzzing of the bees could be heard.

The slender branches of the willow trees on the ridges have also become softer, and they already have a light layer of tender yellow from a distance.

A few sparrows flew over the field and rested on the soft branches of the willow tree, and they chirped and sang sultry love songs, which made Wu Mingjiang's heart itch and crispy.

There are also egrets, perched on the edge of winter paddies, stretching their necks and waiting for the fish to swim in the water.

Farther away, the Black Beach River meanders and disappears into the overlapping mountain shadows. The lines of the mountains were softer, and the color of the mountains was a faint cyan, with some vague mist.

Wu Mingjiang has never found that the place where he grew up is still so beautiful! Maybe it's because of the different positions, standing high on the top of the building and seeing far away, those beauty that was not found in the past are seen.

Wu Mingjiang retracted his gaze and fell on the person in front of him. In the sun, Wang Chunhua was knitting woolen shoes seriously, her hair, eyes, clothes, and whole body were bathed in the sun, as if she had also become a beam of sunshine, shining so brightly that Wu Mingjiang couldn't open her eyes.

When Wang Chunhua saw Wu Mingjiang looking at her, she gave him a look of shyness, and her appearance was so coquettish, which made Wu Mingjiang a little lovely.

Time fades away in such a wordless occasional look at each other. The sun has already set on the shoulders of the tall Ni'a Mountain.

The western sky was lit red by the setting sun. The clouds that floated in the sky were also covered with a layer of shining gold, as if they were about to burn.

Cheche Mountain, Wangjiagou, and the surrounding qiē are all integrated in this infinitely beautiful sunset, red and warm.

"Fifth brother, I'm going to make dinner, have dinner here?"

"Okay." Wu Mingjiang smiled innocently.

"Don't leave tonight, will you stay here?"

"Okay." Wu Mingjiang still smiled innocently.

He only seems to smile and say yes. Wang Chunhua glared at him, what a fool. But she likes such silly guys.
