Zhou Wanwan also went to see the excitement, and then found a lot of fresh bracken, daylily, and a nest of big potatoes that stretched the ground not far away.

The brother and sister were surprised and delighted, and took out all the eggs and put them in a grass nest, and the two piles added up to fifty-one! As for the chicken, Zhou Chen took advantage of Zhou Wanwan's inattention, turned around and learned Shen Guodong's method, and twisted its head one hundred and eighty degrees......

Zhou Wanwan also pretended not to see it. She thinks it's good that the second brother is like this, they can't fill their stomachs now, how can they have so much sympathy for a stupid pheasant.

As for wild vegetables and potatoes, Zhou Chen estimated that they couldn't eat them all in one meal. The potatoes had grown, and he cut off the potato seedlings, dug up a few enough to eat today, and left the rest still in the soil. He trampled the place and made some disguises, so that no one could tell from the outside that there was a pile of big potatoes inside.

According to the normal solar terms, the potatoes have not grown yet, except for the broken people, no one is willing to dig out the potatoes and eat them now, so this nest of big potatoes is still very rare in this season.

In fact, even during the season of eating potatoes, everyone eats them in moderation. Every family has such a big garden, in addition to planting some necessary vegetables, they try to squeeze out space to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes. In a year when there is a shortage of food, these are things that can last half a year's food.

After Zhou Chen was busy with these, he hid the pheasants and eggs first, and went to pick a large handful of bracken and a bunch of daylily, leaving enough for the three of them to eat today, and the rest were packed in a grass nest, and then took a few big potatoes, picked up Zhou Wanwan and went to Sister Ringing's house in the westernmost part of Tuntun, not far from the windbreak.

Sister Ling's surname is Sun, and Zhou Wanwan has no memory of her in her previous life, but I heard from the eldest brother that Sister Lingling is famous for her beauty and ingenuity in the whole team, and she has a good relationship with her mother Li Xiuhua. When they were young, Sister Bell made several pairs of shoes for their brother and sister before they got married. Within two years of Sister Ringing's marriage, her widowed mother died. Sister Bell never came back, so Zhou Wanwan had no impression of her.

Sister Ringing's mother is young and widowed, only Sister Ringing has one child, and the orphans and widows live very hard. Sister Bell has grown up. can work in the field, her mother's body is finished, she is panting when she does some housework at home, and she can hardly get off the kang in winter, and the whole family is supported by Sister Ling's girl's family.

Zhou Chen walked into Sister Ringing's house with Zhou Wanwan in his arms. The wooden shoji was dilapidated, and several things in the yard were old and dilapidated, but they were cleaned up and neatly placed. The mud embryos inside the two low mud and straw houses, with peeling and mottled earthen walls, can be seen from the open windows, but the inside of the house is clean and refreshing. No wonder in his previous life, the eldest brother heard others occasionally talk about Sister Ringing, and also told Zhou Wanwan. Sister Bell is as clean and neat as our mother.

As soon as Zhou Chen walked into the yard, Sister Lingling's mother came out of the garden, she held a handful of grass in her hand, blinked her eyes vigorously, and rubbed it again, but she still couldn't see the child in front of her clearly, so she could only ask Zhou Chen: "Child, Grandma Sun's eyes are over, I can't see anything clearly, whose family are you?" What's going on? ”

"Granny. I am the fourth boy of the old Zhou family in Dongtou, and we will go to the street with two families. Zhou Chen approached and let Grandma Sun see him clearly, "I'm from Peking University." Playing with water over there, burying my clothes, afraid that my grandmother will scold me when I go back, can you borrow me a basin of water and let me wash my laundry? ”

"You naughty boys, you know how to be foolish!" Grandma Sun said scolding words in her mouth. With a smile on his face, he obviously didn't take the boy's dirty clothes seriously, "Take off your clothes, the old lady can wash you, this big sun, drive down the dark (night) and go home to ensure that you can do it." ”

"Grandma, there are several others, just give me some water, and I'll take it and wash it together."

"You boys!" Grandma Sun smiled and took the brother and sister to the house, "The washbasin is at the door, you can go to the water tank and scoop the water yourself." ”

"Alas! Granny, what should you do, I'll do it myself. Zhou Chen simply agreed, went to the door of Sun's outhouse, found an enamel basin, washed it twice, and filled it with a basin of water.

Grandma Sun sat on the small bench by the stove pit, groping for the pig, and talked to Zhou Chen sentence by sentence.

After Zhou Chen was busy, he put the grass nest containing wild vegetables and potatoes on the pot table of Grandma Sun's house, "Grandma Sun, this is the wild vegetables we picked from the Northern Wasteland, and we also found a few potatoes for you." ”

"Eh! That's not going to work! Grandma Sun put down the knife and groped over, "How can the old lady ask you for a child's things, take it back and give it to your milk!" Said and smiled again, "Don't worry, the old lady will keep it secret for you, and you won't tell anyone about the laundry at home today!" ”

Zhou Chen motioned to Zhou Wanwan to grab his clothes, picked up the basin and walked out, "Grandma, you just take it!" I didn't send it alone, you can't explain it if you don't take me back, you have to keep it a secret from us! ”

"This kid!" Grandma Sun was helpless against Zhou Chen, who had already walked out of the door, and then blinked her dim eyes and asked him, "What is that little black shadow next to you?" Got a puppy? ”

Zhou Wanwan, who was treated as a puppy, was stunned for a moment and smiled. Zhou Chen also smiled, "Yes, old woman, a little curly-haired dog." I'm leaving, I'll bring you a basin later. ”

"Slow down, you guys can be a little naughty," Grandma Zhou instructed in a loud voice, "The basin is not in a hurry!" ”

……

Zhou Chen took Zhou Wanwan back to the windbreak, took all the food, and walked into the forest for a while, making sure that it was hidden enough, before setting up a stove to boil water.

Zhou Chen adjusted the flame, only let it burn a small piece at the bottom of the enamel basin, and explained to Zhou Wanwan: "If you boil the water so slowly, you can use up the pot later, wipe the grass, and everything will be clean, no one can see that we are using this pot to boil water!" ”

Zhou Wanwan looked at her second brother, and wondered how he knew all this.

Zhou Chen's work has always been clean and neat, and he has cleaned up the potatoes and wild vegetables in a while, and even the signature of the barbecue has been shaved. The water is about to boil, and we are waiting to clean up the pheasants.

Zhou Chen handed over the grass nest with eggs to Zhou Wanwan, coaxed her to count the eggs with her back to the fire, and told her to take them out after counting, put them in one by one, and count them again.

Zhou Wanwan knew that the second brother didn't want her to see the bloody scene of cleaning up pheasants, so she obediently sat there and counted eggs slowly. When Zhou Wan counted for the third time, the smell of barbecue also came, and Zhou Chen came over with a smile and hugged his sister and kissed him, "Nan Nan is so good!" ”

The brother and sister pulled out two less burning charcoal fires from the barbecue fire. A pile of buried potatoes, a pile of buried eggs.

After the brother and sister ate a few skewers of barbecue, the eggs were cooked, and finally the eggs and meat were tired of eating. The potatoes are edible again.

Zhou Chen saw that his sister refused to eat meat and eggs, afraid that she would be hungry and thin, so he stuffed it into her mouth with needles. Zhou Wanwan first endured two bites. Later, he found that the second brother was endless, he handed it over again, Zhou Wanwan bit his finger, Zhou Chen laughed at her: "The little curly dog has learned to bite!" ”

Zhou Wanwan was angry, snorting angrily and holding the second brother's fingers without swaying, and shaking it vigorously, Zhou Chen dubbed her with a smile, "Wang!" Wangwangwang! ”

Until Zhou Yang appeared on the dirt road in the west of the village, Zhou Chen was still learning how to bark at the dog to make his sister happy, and Zhou Wanwan raised his little chin and didn't show a smile. Hum! I'm a little curly-haired dog. The two of us are compatriots, you are a big dog! If you don't have enough of you, you call me just don't laugh!

As soon as Zhou Yang came back, his younger brothers and sisters surrounded him and chattered endlessly, one complaint, the other complained, and the tiredness of running on the mountain for a day and the irritability of getting along with the Zhou family were all driven away.

After eating the chicken legs and eggs left for him by the two little guys, Zhou Yang let out a long breath, feeling infinitely warm, satisfied and down-to-earth.

Seeing Zhou Wanwan taking small bites of the eggs that Zhou Yang fed, Zhou Chen was so angry that he pointed his finger at her, "Why don't you eat anything when I feed you?" ”

Zhou Wanwan hugged her eldest brother's neck. He smiled sweetly, "I like big brother." ”

Zhou Chen was so angry that his fingers trembled, "You little white-eyed wolf!" It hurts you in vain! ”

Zhou Wanwan watched her second brother frustrated, who made you say that I am a curly-haired dog! I just don't like you. Hum!

Zhou Yang laughed when he watched his younger brothers and sisters quarrel, and didn't care about them. Sure enough, after a while, the two little guys were tired of being together again, one had long forgotten that the one in his arms was a little white-eyed wolf, and one forgot to hold himself and say that he was a little curly-haired dog. took his clumsy little hand to peel eggs for his second brother to eat.

After Zhou Yang finished eating, the three brothers and sisters were tired for a while before talking about the situation of going up the mountain today.

As Zhou Wanwan expected, they returned empty-handed today.

"That rabbit can run, let alone people, wolves can't catch up!" Zhou Yang still felt incredible when he talked about today's events, "I saw a pheasant flying straight up and down from the ground to an old tall tree. Can't catch it at all! ”

"It's good to catch us yesterday," Zhou Chen also felt strange, "These old people go to a big day, why can't they catch anything?" ”

"There is a lot of game, but I can only see a shadow, I took them to find several melon seedlings," Zhou Yang said this and sighed, "It's the ones we ate yesterday, the eldest aunt even picked the unripe little melon cubs, and the melon seedlings were also pulled out by Erle." ”

"We have to be careful with the firewood stacks at home, so that they know that we have to serve a nest too." Zhou Chen smiled sarcastically.

Since going to Xiaohan Mountain, the Zhou family has completely stopped hunting game. That's not what ordinary people can do, only Chief Shen's guards can do it, people have guns, they are still soldiers, and they practice this every day. Therefore, everyone in the Zhou family is even more looking forward to Shen Guodong coming to the Zhou family again.

The last time they came, although they only entered the Westinghouse and did not have contact with the Zhou family, the people who were at home at that time watched it, and they all hid and eavesdropped, and everyone knew what Shen Guodong said.

The rabbit left by Zhou Hongying also disappeared without a sound. Everyone understood that when everyone went up the mountain, Mrs. Zhou opened a small stove for Zhou Hongying and stewed it.

Of course, Zhou Wanwan also knew that she knew what was going on when Zhou Hongying scolded the children in the family, but Zhou Hongying was not afraid that she would find out by eating Xiaozao, in her world, she was superior in the Zhou family, and it was natural to eat Xiaozao, and she kicked people out completely out of the purpose of "not giving you the meat to eat, and not letting you smell the taste".

But this time Zhou Hongying was destined to be disappointed, and a few days later, Zhou Wanwan saw Mrs. Zhou secretly bury a pot of rabbit meat with green hair in the dung heap at the door. Zhou Hongying couldn't eat it, and Mrs. Zhou would rather stink it than give it to a few grandsons of the Zhou family who didn't have fallen teeth.

In the expectation of the Zhou family, Shen Guodong came over on time on the weekend. This time he was sent directly by Xiao Zhang, obviously this weekend, Chief Shen still didn't have time or his body didn't allow it, so he couldn't take him down to Tunzi in person. Xiao Zhang was afraid that he would sneak in by himself again, so he could only send him over.

On this day, the Zhou family went to work in the production team, and only Zhou Chunfa was waiting at home. He had already thought about it, Shen Guodong was just a child, it was not easy to coax him? After coaxing him, and then getting acquainted with the people around Chief Shen, everything will be easier to do in the future.

But to Zhou Chunfa's surprise, he didn't have a chance to get close to anyone at all. Shen Guodong got out of the car, picked up Zhou Wanwan, who was playing in the yard, and left, and waited for Zhou Chunfa to chase him out, only to see a car butt.

It turned out that when Shen Guodong came, he met the Zhou Yang brothers who were pulling grass in the millet field on the side of the highway, and they came to pick up Zhou Wanwan after saying hello to them.

Today they still went to Xiaohan Mountain, Shen Guodong took out his military satchel in the car again, which was sugar and peanuts prepared for Zhou Wanwan, Zhou Wanwan didn't want it. Pointing to peanuts and saying that they can't bite it, they can't eat sugar, and they will get tooth decay if they eat it. also leaked out a mouthful of small white teeth to show Shen Guodong, her molars have not grown well yet, and the other small teeth have grown, thin and white rows, exuding a pearl-like luster, very beautiful.

Xiao Zhang in the front seat wanted to tease this beautiful and smart little doll several times, but was blocked back by Shen Guodong. Nan Nan is not a puppy, how can anyone who wants to tease and touch it?

Fortunately, Shen Guodong didn't say what he thought, otherwise Zhou Wanwan, who had a knot, would have to bite him.

This time I went to Xiaohan Mountain, Zhou Wanwan only released a few rabbits and pheasants for Shen Guodong to chase and play, when they took out their guns, she didn't care, these rabbits and pheasants don't have superpowers, run faster, fly higher, can you still shoot with a gun? What kind of soldier is that?

Xiao Zhang and the driver Xiao Liang did not disappoint Zhou Wanwan, their marksmanship was very accurate, and they received a lot of goods. The most impressive thing about Zhou Wanwan was Shen Guodong, his marksmanship was not bad, and he received even more than Xiao Liang.

Zhou Wanwan doubted again, is this Shen Guodong really only twelve years old?

After hunting, another barbecue was packaged, and several people returned happy. (To be continued.) )
