The layout of the village is a little different from that of Zhaojiazhuang, the whole village is sandwiched between two mountains on a large flat land, there are a large number of bamboos growing on the two mountains, and even there are a lot of bamboos around the houses of each family, and from a distance, the whole village is almost completely blocked by the bamboo forest.

Although Zhulin Village has huge bamboo forest resources, but the villagers are not rich, bamboo is not valuable in this era, bamboo shoots and bamboo sunflower produced in the bamboo forest are not popular, and the main income of the villagers still comes from their own acres of land.

Huang Gufeng is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, although he is only ten years older than Zhao Yuan, but Zhulin Village has an in-law relationship with Zhaojiazhuang, and Huang Gufeng is a generation older than Zhao Yuan.

Along the way, I greeted the villagers of Zhulin Village who were working in the fields, and soon came to Huang Gufeng's house, where his two children were playing in front of the house, two children, a boy and a girl, were not very old, the eldest son Huang Yuesheng was eight and a half years old, and the youngest daughter Huang Yuehua was about the same age as Luoluo.

"Daddy, mother, are you back?" Seeing Huang Gufeng and the two go home, the brother and sister who were covered with mud on their clothes ran over and shouted.

"I'm back, Yuesheng, how did you take your sister, look at the two of you!" Aunt Feng looked at the dirty children, compared with Luoluo, who was neatly and cleanly dressed, and couldn't help but scold.

"Just take a picture of the dirt, let's go inside." Huang Gufeng glanced at the child with a smile, pulled over and patted the dirt on the child's body, his eyes were full of father's love, and he could see that he was a very gentle person.

"What's your name?" Zhao Yuan nodded at Huang Gufeng, tied the two donkeys to the bamboo next to the house, and asked Huang Gufeng's two children.

"This is Zhao Yuan's brother and sister-in-law, and Luoluo, the big one is called Yuesheng, and the small one is called Yuehua." Huang Gufeng introduced and said on the side, the brother and sister were a little scared, and looked at Zhao Yuan's family curiously on the side.

"Good name, Yuesheng Yuehua, Luoluo, bring the biscuits to ...... Uncle Yuesheng and Aunt Yuehua should be called to eat. Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Haha, in terms of generation, Luoluo is a younger generation." Huang Gufeng said with a smile.

Walking into the kitchen at the west end, Huang Gufeng beckoned Zhao Yuan's family to sit down on the bamboo bench, Aunt Feng was busy boiling water, and Luoluo generously greeted the Yuesheng and Yuehua brothers and sisters.

"Uncle Yuesheng, sister-in-law Yuehua, eat biscuits, the biscuits made by my uncle and aunt are delicious, with the fragrance of green onions and sugar sand." Luoluo took out the biscuits from the small bag she was carrying, handed them to the two siblings and said.

"Your name is Luoluo, right, what are cookies?" Yuesheng stepped forward, looked at the good-looking little girl in front of her curiously, and said boldly.

"Yes, Uncle Yuesheng, the biscuits are made by my uncle and aunt, they are delicious, I invite you to eat, but can you and Aunt Yuehua wash your hands, Uncle said that it is easy to get sick if you have dirty things on your hands and eat them." Luoluo's eyes flashed wide, and she looked at the brother and sister with dirt on their hands and said.

"Yuesheng, bring your sister over and wash it, look at your body." Aunt Feng lit the fire, scooped up a basin of water to wash it, and shouted to her children.

"Uncle Feng, don't mind, children talk." Zhao Yuan heard Luoluo's words and said apologetically to Huang Gufeng.

"No, no, Zhao Yuan, you taught Luoluo really well, and you dress very cleanly, unlike my children, who are dirty all day long." Huang Gufeng waved his hand and said without mind.

After Yuesheng Yuehua cleaned it, Luoluo distributed the biscuits to the two brothers and sisters, and gave some to Huang Gufeng and his wife.

"This thing called a cookie is delicious." Huang Gufeng ate a biscuit and said with a smile.

"A little gadget to do, how much land does Uncle Feng's family have, do you want to finish it?" Zhao Yuan, Meng Ying and Huang Gufeng sat at the table on the side of the kitchen, chatting about homely things.

"There are seven acres of land, three acres of paddy fields, and four acres of dry land." Huang Gufeng said with a smile, seven acres of land, in a good year, plus he didn't go to find some work to do, a family of four chewing for a year is enough.

"The land here in Zhulin Village is very good, it is all on flat land, unlike our land in Zhaojiazhuang, most of which is on the hillside." Zhao Yuan said with a smile.

"Each of your Zhaojiazhuang families has more land than any of our families here, and we are fortunate to have a bamboo forest here, and we can get some income from the bamboo forest every year."

"When did this bamboo forest exist, it should have been many years, right?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"It's been many years, and I don't know when it was planted." Huang Gufeng said with a smile.

"Are there bamboo shoots now?" Zhao Yuan asked, one of the goals of this trip to Zhulin Village is to get some bamboo shoots back.

"Yes, there are a lot of things, bamboo shoots are not delicious, and everyone rarely digs them." Huang Gufeng said with a smile.

In this era, ordinary people are reluctant to put oil when cooking, and the blue bamboo shoots have a relatively large numb taste, and if the oil is less, the fried bamboo shoots will not taste very good.

"Can you dig now?" Zhao Yuan asked.

"Yes, the spring bamboo shoots haven't grown yet, so I can only dig the winter bamboo shoots." Huang Gufeng nodded and said.

On the side, Luoluo, Huang Yuesheng and Huang Yuehua also slowly became familiar with each other, and they didn't stay in the house for a while before they went outside the house to play together.

"Uncle Feng, see if we can find someone to dig up some bamboo shoots, and I'll pay for them." Zhao Yuan asked with a smile.

"Why spend money to buy, there are many bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest, you have to eat and dig with a hoe, as long as you don't dig up the bamboo roots." Huang Gufeng said with a smile.

"Now there are fewer winter bamboo shoots, and it's troublesome to dig up, I want to dig some back to eat, and when the spring bamboo shoots are launched, I want to buy a large number of spring bamboo shoots, and when the time comes, please trouble Uncle Feng to help." Zhao Yuan thought about it and said with a smile.

"This is a good thing, we have nothing else in Zhulin Village, but there are many bamboo shoots, no one has ever come to collect them, the bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest have grown into bamboo, Zhao Yuan, what are you going to do when you collect bamboo shoots?" Huang Gufeng asked curiously.

"When the time comes, process the bamboo shoots and dry them into dried or sour bamboo shoots." Zhao Yuan said with a smile, so many bamboo shoots, you must not be able to eat them all at home, and when the time comes, they will be sold to the restaurants of Wanjia or in the shops that will open at home.

"Okay, when the spring bamboo shoots come out, I'll go to Zhao Yuan and you."

"Come, Zhao Yuan, Xiaoying, drink tea." Aunt Feng boiled the boiling water, brewed three bowls of her own fried soil tea, and served it to Zhao Yuan, Meng Ying and Huang Gufeng.

"Yuesheng, bring Yuehua and Luoluo in and drink some boiling water." Aunt Feng shouted to the three little guys outside the house again.

"This tea is very fragrant, Aunt Feng's tea leaves are fried well." Zhao Yuan took a sip of the tea bowl and praised.

There are generally a few tea trees planted in the vegetable garden of each villager in Gray Yuan Town or on the slope in front of the house and behind the house, and they will not bother to manage it.

"It's all soil tea, Zhao Yuan, if you like it, you can pack some back in a while, but it's all old tea that was fried last year, and the new tea will have to wait a few months." Aunt Feng said with a smile.

"Are there any tea tree seedlings, I want to dig up a few and plant them." Zhao Yuan asked with a smile, the tea trees in the countryside are not valuable, and the tea tree seedlings that grow in the ground are directly shoveled.

"Yes, there are a lot of tea seedlings growing in the vegetable garden every year, that is, the tea trees that have grown, Zhao Yuan wants you, you can dig a few and bring them back." Aunt Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll dig some and bring it back later, and I'll have these things in my new home." Zhao Yuan sipped his tea and said with a smile.

"Mother, Luoluo is so powerful, she knows a lot of things!" The three little guys playing outside the house walked into the house, and Huang Yuesheng walked up to his mother and said.

"Of course, look at your dirty day, learn from Luoluo! Luoluo, children can't drink tea, I'll make you a bowl of sugar water, come and drink it, be careful of scalding. After Aunt Feng scolded her son, she turned her head and said to Luoluo.

"Mother, I want sugar water too." Yuehua said on the side.

"Aunt Yuehua, drink this bowl of sugar water." Luo Luoqian gave in.

"It's all there, Luoluo, you drink it yourself."

"Oh, thank you, Grandma Feng."
