It was no secret that Zhang Wu was going to join the army, and soon everyone in Xiaofang Village knew about it.

Wen Wenhua also went to Zhang Wu's house and sent some things to Zhang Wu.

Going to join the army is a big event, and you need to bring a lot of things, coils, and clothes along the way. And dry food to carry with you.

Ai Qiaoqiao has been busy in the kitchen all day, she chops some pork foam, mixed fat and lean together, then adds rice wine, soy sauce, pepper, sugar and salt, and stirs in one direction with chopsticks to make the meat starched and become chewy.

She had the wind and rain burn charcoal in the yard, took out the thin slate they had used before, and smeared oil on it. Pour the minced meat on top, roughly spread it with a spoon, then take out the rolling pin and roll out the minced meat into thin slices.

Then she found a thin slate and pressed it on it, and shoveled some of the charcoal fire on it.

When the meat wafted out of the fragrance, Ai Qiaoqiao wrapped her hands in a thick cloth, took off the thin stone slab on it, and brushed a layer of honey on top of the meat slices.

Honey is a very expensive ingredient, and she is usually reluctant to use it, but this time she did not hesitate to take out the little honey she had left.

After applying honey, she sprinkled some fried white sesame seeds, and then pressed a thin slate.

After baking for a while, she repeated the previous operation, only this time turning the slices of meat over and brushing the other side with honey.

That's it. It wasn't until the meat slices were grilled until there was no moisture that Ai Qiaoqiao took out the meat slices, let them cool and cut them into small cubes.

"It's so dry. What a waste. "Listening to the wind and rain, I feel a little sorry to see the severely shrunken meat slices.

Obviously, when I put it on, it was such a big piece of minced meat, but after it was cooked, there was only such a little.

Ai Qiaoqiao picked up two pieces of jerky and divided them among them.

Listen to the wind and rain and put it in your mouth and take a bite.

Wow. The fragrant jerky is fragrant and sweet, and the taste is tenacious, and the delicious can't be stopped.

"This is pork jerky, you can grow your strength after eating, you can carry it with you and it doesn't take up space, and it's not heavy, I can also make more beef jerky, and let Brother Xiao Wu take it with me as dry food at that time."

"It turns out that this is for Brother Zhang Wu." Listening to the wind and listening to the rain, he glanced at each other, "Then we will also help, let's do more, so that Brother Zhang Wu can eat enough on the road!" ”

The three of them started to work, and sure enough, they were faster than one person.

The day Zhang Wu left the village. Ai Qiaoqiao made a large bag of dried meat, but the weight was not heavy.

She wrapped a hide around the wrapped meat to prevent it from getting wet in the rain.

When she was about to leave the door, Lan stopped her and handed her a small baggage.

Ai Qiaoqiao was stunned, took the burden and took a look, only to see that there were two sets of clothes inside, and the style was for men at a glance.

"Mother, this is" she couldn't believe her eyes.

The Lan family actually made clothes for Zhang Wu?

Lan smiled, "You go quickly." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao's heart was beating wildly, "Mother, you, are you okay?" ”

Hearing this, Lan didn't react, just smiled and touched her head.

Ai Qiaoqiao couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart anymore, and rushed over and hugged Lan, "Mother, mother, are you really okay?" Do you know who I am? ”

"Silly boy. How can my mother not even recognize you. ”

"Who am I, mother, who do you say I am?" Ai Qiaoqiao did not give up.

"You're a coincidence. My daughter. ”

Ai Qiaoqiao stared at Lan nervously, "Mother, do you know who my father is?" ”

She hugged Lan tightly. As if he was afraid that the Lan clan would run away.

Lan's eyes were red, but she didn't cry, "Your father is gone, he went back to heaven." ”

One sentence made Ai Qiaoqiao cry.

Her mother finally came to her senses.

She finally stopped being entangled between fantasy and reality, and she accepted the fact that her father was gone.

"But maybe one day he'll come back." Lan's eyes glistened with tears, "Even if he changes, I will definitely recognize him." ”

Ai Qiaoqiao froze.

No, her mother did not recover, and although she accepted the fact that her father was dead, she was immersed in other fantasies.

If a person cannot be resurrected from the dead, how can her father come back?

And will it become something else? How is this possible!

She couldn't figure it out.

When Zhang Wu left, Ai Qiaoqiao and Wen Wenhua sent him out of the village.

Zhang Wu put the clothes made by the Lan family on his back, and took the dried meat made by Ai Qiaoqiao.

"I couldn't help but secretly taste a piece just now, it's delicious." Zhang Wu squeezed his eyes at her and said mischievously: "It's a pity that I won't be able to taste your craftsmanship for a long time after leaving the village." ”

"I'll cook for you when you get back." Ai Qiaoqiao smiled on her face, but her throat felt sour.

Zhang Wu was the first friend she met in Xiaofang Village, and it was also her best friend.

"Don't cry." Zhang Wu scratched the back of his head, "It's not like I'm not coming back, aren't we agreed?" ”

Ai Qiaoqiao found out that she was crying.

"Brother Wu, I can't bear to let you go." Ai Qiaoqiao couldn't hold back any longer. rushed over and hugged Zhang Wu.

Wen Wenhua was also a little reluctant, "When you go out, be more careful." If you don't get along outside, come back. ”

Zhang Wu laughed a few times, "Don't worry, I'll definitely make a difference." ”

"Why didn't Uncle Zhang come to see you off?" Wen Wenhua noticed that Zhang Wu's father did not come to see him off.

"It's good if you can deliver it." Zhang Wu patted Ai Qiaoqiao's back. "Okay, Qiaoqiao, don't cry, when I'm not there in the future, you can go to Brother Wen if you have something, if anyone dares to bully you, you will record it on my account one by one, and see that I don't settle accounts with them when I come back!"

Wen Wenhua smiled, "Don't worry, your sister-in-law and I will take Qiaoqiao as our own sister-in-law." ”

Zhang Wu kept coaxing Ai Qiaoqiao not to cry, and then said goodbye to the two.

On the far side road, a horse-drawn carriage stopped.

"Why don't you leave?" In the carriage, a well-dressed young man looked at his companion in surprise.

His companion raised his hand and lifted the curtain of the car, looking out at the entrance of the village in the distance.

There, Zhang Wuzheng was smiling and wiping Ai Qiaoqiao's tears with his sleeve.

"Nightboy?" The young man called again.

"I'm not going today, I'm going back to Yicaotang." Ye Liyan lowered the curtain, and the carriage turned around and went in the direction of Huai'an City.

"Why don't you go into the village, you've all come here." The young man was puzzled and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to treat me to the best food?" ”

"Another day." Ye Liyu leaned lazily on the mat and never spoke again.

The young man raised his eyebrows helplessly.

In the past, he had often heard people say that the three-shot life-saving night doctor was a person with a strange personality, which seemed to be true at all.

I was happy just now, but my face changed in a blink of an eye.
