One step, two steps, three steps......

Hey, take one more step and you'll be able to pick the flowers

Poof!

"Ah~"

Yan Yan let out a low snort, fell into a field, and lay down.

She subconsciously rolled over and glanced at where the Zou family was.

Seeing that they didn't notice the movement here, she breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, she grabbed the grass and climbed up the hill again.

Yan Yan held the picked flowers and sat down on the ground.

First, I picked a few out and put them aside, and then I picked up a few weeds with long leaves from the side, wrapped them, and tied them.

Then use the remaining flowers to make a wreath.

After doing this, she stared boredly at the Zou family who were working not far away.

Zou was still using a hoe, digging a pit, and Yan Feng was also helping to light seeds.

Yan Yan looked at it for a while, and suddenly felt that something tickled her.

She looked down and saw that it was an iron ant that had climbed up her lap.

She quickly got up and shook her clothes, just afraid that there would be other ants, upper body!

You know, iron ants are not the kind of well-behaved ants that are usually visible near home.

It's not easy to mess with!

Iron ants, like normal ants, are black.

However, it's relatively large and likes to clip people! And the force of the clamping person is big enough!

The skin of the person who is caught will be painful and itchy, and it will be red and swollen.

The sun is sinking in the west, and the sky is getting dark.

Zou and Yan Feng were also packing up their things and preparing to go back at this time.

When burning firewood at home, Zou had to put some firewood at home.

Yan Yan saw that her mother-in-law Zou and her sister Yan Feng were helping to hold wooden sticks, and she also consciously joined their business.

Zou didn't postpone it, she took a few finer pieces of wood for Yan Feng. handed Yan Yan a few thin wooden sticks.

Let them go ahead.

Zou picked up the bamboo basket containing the seeds, stuffed some wood into it, and finally carried the bamboo basket, and she picked up the dead branches stacked on the edge of the soil along the vegetables, picked them up, and carried them.

"Mother-in-law, hurry up! My sister and I are waiting for you here! ”

"Okay, okay, here, here."

Back at home, Yan Yan and Yan Feng took it for granted to place firewood on the curb under the eaves.

Yan Feng hurriedly took out the key to open the door, entered the house, lit a kerosene lamp, and put it on the table in the hall.

The dark room turned red in an instant.

Mother-in-law Zou also unloaded the firewood on her back at this moment and entered the house.

She asked, slatching her hand at the door.

"I came back a little late today! Mother-in-law, how about ordering some noodles for you to eat tonight? ”

"Yes, yes."

Yan Yan, who was about to present flowers and wreaths to her mother-in-law Zou and sister Yan Feng under the candlelight, was the first to cheer and agree.

"I'll help you light the fire, mother-in-law."

Yan Feng raised the kerosene lamp and followed Zou Shi with an apron and walked into the kitchen.

In the hall, there were suddenly only the candles that Yan Yan and Yan Feng lit when they left.

Yan Yan stared at the candle for a while, and then looked through the window on the wall at the dark night outside.

Only then did I wake up from the hallucinations that I was thinking about in my head.

She was afraid to be alone.

Because she always fantasizes that there is something inexplicable circling around her.

It seems that he wants to invade her life, and he is reluctant!

It all stemmed from her first nightmare.

In her dream, she slept on her own bed, a narrow wooden bed.

The perimeter of the wooden bed is not placed against the wall.

Not far away, the candles on the square cabinet were still dancing with flames. Flashing and flashing, the whole room flickered and darkened.

Yan Yan woke up slowly, and she opened her eyes slightly confused.

What caught my eye was a woman with long hair and a shawl, a pale face, and a white robe.

The woman didn't move, she just stared at her with her eyes wide open.

I don't know why, Yan Yan subconsciously thinks that she is not a human, she is a ghost!

When Yan Yan suddenly woke up from a dream, it was still the middle of the night.

The candles had long since been extinguished, and the room was pitch black.

Although the nightmare was over, Yan Yan still felt a trace of coolness from the cold wind that watered the ground in the winter night.

She reflexively covered her head with a quilt, her body constantly shrinking towards the center of the bed.

Until she stuck to the heat source body that emitted heat-Yan Feng.

Only then did she hold her waist with peace of mind and slowly fall asleep.

At this moment, Yan Yan held the candles placed on the table, took the flowers and wreaths, and carried the light and brightness, through the ear door, and entered the kitchen.

I saw my mother-in-law open the lid of the pot and sprinkle a handful of noodles into the freshly boiled water.

When her mother-in-law Zou kept stirring the noodles and didn't let the noodles fall together, Yan Yan had already blown out the candles, trotted to her sister Yan Feng, pulled a small bench made of wood, and sat down.

watched my sister Yan Feng use fire tongs to send firewood into the stove.

Yan Yan offered the flowers tied together like a treasure, and sent them to Yan Feng.

"Sister, look at the flowers I picked!"

"Well, pretty."

Yan Feng made a movement in his hand, looked down at the flowers in Yan Yan's hand, and praised softly.

"Hee-hee, I also made wreaths. Phew, it's pretty! ”

Yan Yan said, shook her arm, and motioned for Yan Feng to look at the wreath she hung on it.

"It's pretty good, where are they all picked?"

Yan Feng stared at the wreath on Yan Yan's arm again and asked.

"Of course not! I walked around and picked these things. ”

Yan Yan said with some pride.

"Oh."

Yan Yan saw that her sister Yan Feng ended the topic lightly.

Suddenly, he turned his attention to his mother-in-law, Zou, who was pouring green spinach into the steaming big iron pot.

"Mother-in-law, look at the flowers I picked!"

"Mother-in-law, look, isn't it good-looking?"

"Mother-in-law, sister, she said that the flowers are beautiful!"

Zou couldn't listen to the noise, and said impatiently and perfunctorily at the moment.

"Okay, okay, my mother-in-law saw it, it looks good!"

After speaking, she said to the two people sitting under the stove.

"The noodles are ready, you two hurry up and wash your hands, and come and take your own noodles out to eat."

"Hurry up, the water is ready for you, it's just right to be lukewarm!"

After Yan Yan and Yan Feng went to wash their hands, Zou came to the bottom of the stove, took the tongs and picked up the firewood around the stove, and finally put it into the ashes.

Yan Fenggang held the kerosene lamp to the center of the table in the hall and put it down.

Yan Yan came out with a porcelain bowl.

Yan Feng took the porcelain bowl in Yan Yan's hand, brought it to the table, and shouted.

"Sister, you eat first! I went to help my mother-in-law serve noodles. ”

"Uh-huh."

The light of the kerosene lamp is very sufficient, and it illuminates the yellow and clear hall clearly, which is particularly warm.

Yan Yan had no distractions at this time, and agreed very obediently.

She climbed up with her hands on the wooden bench, knelt on the bench with her legs, clubbed her arms on the table, and lay on her stomach, holding a porcelain bowl in one hand and clumsily grasping chopsticks in the other, eating noodles with her head immersed.

The ingredients for the noodles are simple and delicious.

In addition to noodles, the main ingredients are lard, chili sauce, soy sauce, a little salt, and vinegar.

While she was eating, Yan Feng and Zou entered the hall one by one with porcelain bowls containing noodles.

Yes, because dinner was later than usual.

Tonight, at the dinner table, it was very quiet.

Zou is a very self-disciplined person.

I usually pay attention to going to bed early and getting up early.

Usually before it gets dark, she takes Yan Yan and them to dinner, washes and goes back to the house, and prepares to go to bed.

In a situation like today, it usually happens more often only during the busy farming season.

But getting up early is a habit that Zou has always adhered to.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "smelling the chicken and dancing".

Fortunately, the Zou family did not ask Yan Feng and them to get up early with her.

Unfortunately, she doesn't allow them to stay in bed either!

Silence on the square tables in the four corners of the dining place, converge, circulate, jump, and gradually form a set of beautiful dance music.

But the few people who were dining did not feel a trace of embarrassment and any discomfort.

The silent atmosphere was broken by the eager shouts of Grandma Wu next door.

"Come on, come back!"

"Come back!"

Yan Yan, who was eating very well, heard the sound, and curiously stretched out towards the hall and looked towards the window sill, the dividing line outside the house.

I saw a beam of light on the windowsill, and I looked at it from time to time.

Zou put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up and opened the deadbolt of the door of the hall

The flickering candlelight suddenly strung out of the door and ran away.

But there was no one outside the door.

Zou stepped out of the threshold, came to the edge of the street, and looked around.

Yan Feng and Yan Yan couldn't resist their curiosity and followed out.

Not long after, they saw Grandma Wu, who was driving a flock of ducks, passing by Yan's house.

"Good evening Grandma Wu!"

"Well, good evening."

"Sister-in-law Wu is still inviting ducks home so late."

"Yes. Sister Zou. ”

"I don't know what's going on. This duck is not home today, and as usual, he has already lined up to go back. ”

"Hey, am I disturbing your sleep? I see that my sister usually closes early, so she must have gone to bed early. ”

"Nothing! I came back late from the field today, so I got my meal ready and was eating.

"As soon as I heard the sound of my sister-in-law calling a duck, I thought about opening the door to help take a look, even if I can't help you, I can help you explore the way through the light."

"That's good, thank you, girl. It's too late, so I'll go back first. ”

"Okay, then Sister-in-law Wu should go slowly."

"Hey, let's go, Yan family girls."

"Yes, goodbye. Grandma Wu. ”

With a squeak, the door of the Yan family closed.

The three of Zou returned to the dining table, ate silently, washed up, went back to the back room, and fell asleep.

Next.

Zou got up early, made breakfast, and called the two children to get up, eat, and prepare for school.

Since it was not a day to catch the market, Zou did not go with him as he did the day before.

Yan Feng and the others had no objection, because they were also used to the two sisters going to school together and coming home from school.

What's more, they also have companions, on the same road!

"Sister Xiaofeng, Yan Yan, let's go!"

"Okay, here! Sister Shuanglan. ”

Yan Yan followed her sister Yan Fengyi out.

She saw Xu Jialan and Xu Jiayue standing on the Tiankan path opposite her house, looking at them.

The sky was not clear, and the white fog was everywhere.

Even so, Yan Yan still saw Xu Jiayue's expressionless face at this time, with his hands in his clothes pockets.

The first feeling he gave Yan Yan was that one of the few words Yan Yan knew was cold.

Even though, she already knew that he was a very sunny boy.
