Chapter 132: Delivering Sugar Cookies

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Brother Da Tam died for a whole month, and the team on the mountain was once again on vacation and went home to reunite with his relatives.

The autumn crops in the field have been harvested, millet, soybeans, corn, and sorghum have all been harvested and put into storage, and the cotton is also white, spitting out clumps of white cotton wool, just waiting for people to pick.

July 15 is set for drought and flood, August 15 is set for harvest, this year, Daliang Mountain is another bumper harvest year.

Families began to bake sugar cakes, and the village, which had been depressed for two months, finally showed a hint of vitality.

August 15 baked sugar cake is also the custom of the people of Daliang Mountain.

The method of making sugar cakes is exquisite, first of all, the dough after fermentation is rolled into a dough.

The two doughs are put together, mixed with sugar, wolfberry, and mashed mountain fruit in the middle, and then the edges of the two doughs overlap, rolled into a lace shape, and placed on the pan to grill.

When the pan is fragrant, the cake is charred and dry, completely swollen, and the golden scab is on top, it is ready to eat.

The aroma of flour, the sweetness of brown sugar, and the refreshing taste of wolfberry and mountain fruit are not intended to be the best delicacy in the world.

Some people also carve exquisite patterns on the sugar cakes, which look very beautiful and give people a kind of salivating desire.

Daliang Mountain used to have a hard life, the harvest was small, and the only grain was reluctant to eat, and most of them were exchanged for money by people who resisted the mountain.

The money in exchange was exchanged for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to make a living, so on August 15, few people ate sugar cakes, and sugar cakes became a delicacy on the dining table of every family.

In recent years, the rain has been evenly adjusted, the farmers in the field have a good harvest, picking medicine, willow weaving, and picking mountain fruits, these non-capital businesses have become the mainstream of Daliang Mountain. People's hands are loose, there is enough food to eat, and sugar cakes are not a rare thing.

The women of the village were busy, and every household used a dustpan to fill the baked sugar cakes, and the aroma of the sugar cakes came from each woman's stove and filled the whole village.

Wang Hailiang didn't spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Yuzhu at home, he took a pack of cigarettes, three sugar cakes, and a pot of old wine, and slowly stepped on the hillside and came to the grave of Brother Da Tam.

Brother Da Tam has been buried for a month, he spends the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, Wang Hailiang's heart is not good, so he came to accompany him.

Hailiang first placed the sugar cake in front of the grave, then lit a cigarette and pinned it to the grave.

He also lit one and took a sip of the big rammer himself...... The old wine opened the jar, and he took a sip and poured it on the ground.

Hailiang said: "Brother Da Tam, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, are you cold alone?" Are you okay in heaven? Brother accompany you for a few drinks ....... ”

Wang Hailiang drank for a while, watched the cigarettes burn up little by little, watched the old wine drink it all in one sip, and the honest face of Brother Da Tam appeared in front of his eyes again.

He saw the big brother walking towards him, still smiling like before, his long hair was messy, the cloth heels on his feet were neatly beaten, the man took a puff of cigarette, and a black mist erupted from his bearded mouth.

He shouted: "Hailiang! A pair of calloused hands rested on Hailiang's shoulders.

Hailiang also shouted: "Brother Da Rammer......" also wanted to hug him, but his hand was empty, and an illusion appeared in front of him.

Hai Liang's tears had already filled his eyes, and he said, "Big ramming? You're so ruthless, you're not enough buddy!

You're just gone? Left behind Xifeng's sister-in-law, left Ruyi, and left so many folks in Daliang Mountain! What should I do if such a heavy burden is thrown at me?? How can I pick ...... alone?

You dog said quickly get up, accompany me to build roads, accompany me up the mountain, accompany me to transport mountain fruits, accompany me to the mountain to collect medicine, and we have to live a good life together...... Why can't you get up? Look down on me, Wang Hailiang, don't you? You said yes, ......! ”

Wang Hailiang smashed the wine jar on the ground, and suddenly knelt in front of the big rammed grave and cried.

His hands clung to the dirt on the ground, and his ten nails sank deep into the dirt and stones, as if he wanted to grasp the soul of the big rammer for a long time.

He remembered the days when he built the road with Brother Da Tam, and the two of them happily explored, happily helping the transport team to swing those mountain goods over the cliff little by little.

They pushed the cart together, swung over the cliff together, walked to the end of the mountain together, and carried the truckload of goods onto the truck in exchange for a large stack of slag tickets.

Every time he took the money, Brother Da Rammed's eyebrows would stretch happily, and the wrinkles on his forehead would disappear.

Hailiang still remembers the scene of blowing up the mountain road with Brother Da Tam, when nailing the cannon hole, the two of them climbed the cliff together, with a rope tied around their waists and swinging in the air, a hammer, a tong, and the clanging sound scattered the birds and birds of a mountain.

But now Brother Da Ram's smile is gone, and his honest and stocky body is gone, leaving only a round grave.

His death was a loss for thousands of people in Daliang Mountain, and it was equivalent to cutting off one of Hailiang's arms.

Without Brother Da Tam, he didn't know how to repair the road in the future, and who to consult when he encountered problems.

The big rammer is quiet, waving his sleeves, leaving no clouds. The weight of a thousand pounds was all on him.

Wang Hailiang is like a girl, crying in front of the grave of Da Tam, crying tears, the wind and clouds are bleak, and the cry of grief is combined with the terrible autumn wind, floating out far and wide......

In two years, they have established a relationship that is deeper than that of their own brothers, and they are relatives who have lived and died.

After crying enough, Wang Hailiang stood up, wiped away his tears, and said, "Brother Da Tam, don't worry, I will take care of your sister-in-law and treat it like a sister."

Your son is my son Wang Hailiang. I will let you watch the day when the road is built, and I will let you see Daliang Mountain become rich little by little and get rid of poverty. I want you to rest under the spring, believe me...... I can do ......"

Hailiang returned home after dark, and he did not enter his own house, but came to Xifeng's sister-in-law's house.

It's a holiday, Xifeng's sister-in-law is lonely, Hailiang is worried that the woman is sad, so she wants to comfort her.

Xifeng's sister-in-law was really sad during this time, and she washed her face with tears all day long.

After Brother Da Tam died, the pillars of the family collapsed, and she didn't know how to live in the future.

Hailiang couldn't have imagined that when he arrived at Xifeng's sister-in-law's house, there would be a man in the woman's house. The man turned out to be a crutch.

Zhang Guizi was not the first person to find Xifeng, before him, a man had already come.

Sister-in-law Xifeng is good-looking, beautiful and moving, and she has already made some people in the village drool.

Usually, everyone is forced by the strength of the big ram, and no one dares to attack Xifeng's sister-in-law, but now that the big ram is dead, those people can seize the opportunity.

The first person to come to Xifeng's sister-in-law was Erya's father Zhang Damao. Zhang Damao is Xifeng's old friend.

During the May harvest two years ago, Zhang Damao used clever tricks to knock Xifeng's sister-in-law down on the wheat field in the east of the village.

The two of them rolled on the wheat stack, turning over and over, and the wheat was flattened and crushed, and on that day, Zhang Damao sowed a seed into Xifeng's stomach and gave birth to the current Ruyi.

Zhang Damao likes Xifeng, and after that incident, he has always wanted to talk to Xifeng's sister-in-law and have a better understanding. At the same time, he also wants his son to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors.

Ruyi is Zhang Damao's species, Zhang Damao has no queen in his life, and he really wants to recognize his son back.

Now that Da Tam has been dead for a month, and it is the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, Zhang Damao is courteous and comes to comfort her with a few sugar cakes.

After Zhang Damao walked into Xifeng's house, Xifeng's sister-in-law was still crying.

Every festive season, every family is reunited, and on August 15, every family is reunited, and Xifeng thinks of Da Tam again.

Zhang Damao squeaked open the door and entered Xifeng's house.

"Xifeng, are you still sad? Uncle Mao has come to see you....... ”

Zhang Damao's face was skinless, and his embarrassed smile made Xifeng feel disgusted.

Xifeng said: "Uncle Mao, why are you here?" ”

Zhang Damao said: "Da Tam is gone, today's holiday, I am afraid that you will be bored alone, so I specially came to be your companion." ”

Xifeng's sister-in-law knew that Zhang Damao was not kind, and anger rose in her heart, and said: "Uncle Da Mao, don't come in the future, people are terrible, I don't want the people in the village to poke my backbone." ”

Zhang Damao said: "I know, Xifeng, don't be angry, I don't mean anything else, I won't hurt you, I just want to see ...... Ruyi, he is my son after all. ”

Xifeng's sister-in-law was startled and said, "Shut up!" Ruyi is not your son, but Da Tam's own ......"

Zhang Damao said: "Xifeng, don't lie to me, the whole village knows that Da Tam has infertility, he can't have children, and Da Tam himself admits it, Ruyi is the seed I left with you in the wheat field, I want to take Ruyi back and raise ...... by myself."

That knew that Xifeng's face suddenly changed, and he said angrily: "Zhang Damao! You don't have to make an inch! If you dare to move, the old lady will fight with you!! ”

Xifeng is like an old hen guarding her chickens, glaring at Zhang Damao, for the sake of her son's wishes, she dares to fight hard with anyone.

Zhang Damao smiled bitterly and said: "Xifeng, don't get excited, I have no ill will towards Ruyi, Da Tam is not here after all, it is not easy for you to be a woman with a child, the child will go to school in the future, study, and eat, drink and Lazar, how can you bear it as a woman?"

I want to help you and ease your burden......"

Xifeng said angrily: "It's not rare! Ruyi I will bring it myself, I don't need you, you go immediately, hurry up and get out of me!! ”

Originally, Zhang Damao still had illusions, hoping to continue to get along with Xifeng's sister-in-law, and without a man by the woman's side, she must be panicking...... I just soothed her.

I didn't expect Xifeng to hate her so much, Zhang Damao didn't dare to start, so he had to put the sugar cake on the table and said, "Okay, don't be angry, don't be angry, I'll go, can't I go?" You can leave these sugar cakes, which is a part of my heart for my children. ”

Xifeng said angrily: "You get out of here!" Take your dirty pie, I don't!! ”

As she spoke, the woman picked up the sugar cake and stomped it all on the man's face.

Huhula, the sugar cake smashed Zhang Damao's face full of flowers, and Zhang Damao shivered.
