The next day, Su Dongli did not go up the mountain, but cleaned the kitchen inside and out.

As for the cooking utensils that had been filled with fecal water yesterday, she put them away and didn't plan to use them again, as Aunt Genzi said, the food made from them was too palatable.

After cleaning up the kitchen, the yard and the house were cleaned, it was already about ten o'clock in the morning.

"Looks like we're going to have to go to the mountains."

She shook her head a little helplessly, when she was cleaning just now, she found that the remaining six or seven catties of food were gone, and the bottom of the box of clothes at the end of the kang, the twelve or thirteen yuan that the original owner had saved for a year or two had also been looted.

"Go to memorize words, drink cold water and stuff your teeth, that's what you're talking about, right?"

Complaining, she vacated the herbs that she hadn't had time to sort out last night, and carried the fat rabbit to the cage where the chickens used to be raised.

Go out again with the basket.

"Su girl, is this going up the mountain again?"

As soon as I went out, I met Aunt Genzi, who walked out of the yard carrying a small cloth bag.

"Well, go and see those sets for wild things, now the pots and pans at home can't be used, I want to see if I can use some hares, pheasants or something to change some back."

Aunt Genzi shook her head and sighed.

"Aunt Genzi, are you going out?"

"Didn't you come to you, your uncle said that your food must have been stolen by the lack of virtue, let me send you some, don't dislike it if you don't have much."

The food in her hand should be five or six catties, although it is not much, but it is already very good in this era of lack of food and clothing.

Su Dongli passed a warm current in his heart, people said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and she is not as good as close relatives.

"Then I won't be polite to Aunt Genzi, and I'll return it to you when my second brother comes back from the mail next month."

"Cheng, don't worry."

After taking the bag of grain, Su Dongli returned to the house and put it down, and when he came out again, Aunt Genzi had already gone home.

She smiled and walked briskly towards Dongyang Mountain.

When passing by the entrance of the village, I saw from a distance that there was a soldier brother wearing a green military uniform and carrying two large bags of things in his hand, striding forward.

"Hello comrade, may I ask how the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe are going?"

"Su Dongguo?"

She was slightly stunned, and carefully looked at the soldier brother in front of her, one meter and eight big, with a big-brimmed hat, with a well-defined and slightly cold face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, with a military uniform, looking very energetic.

"What are you looking for him? He wasn't at home. ”

"I know he's not here, I'm not looking for him, I'm his comrade-in-arms, this time I came to a nearby town to do errands, and he asked me to bring something to her sister Su Dongli."

"I am Su Dongli."

Brother Bing was stunned, thinking that this was too coincidental, right? The first person you meet when you enter the village is the main one?

He confirmed with some disbelief; "Are you really Su Dongli?"

Hearing this, Su Dongli smiled and told the unit where his second brother served, and it was accurate to the room number of the dormitory where he lived.

This instantly dispelled the suspicion of this soldier brother.

"Hello Xiaomei Su, my name is Chu Chaoyang."

"Little Sister Su?"

Hearing the other party's name, Su Dongli was slightly stunned.

"My second brother and I are comrades-in-arms and brothers, you are his sister, I call you a little sister, is there any problem?"

“……”

"No problem."

Su Dongli shook his head, and took Chu Chaoyang to turn around and walk towards his small courtyard.

As he passed by the farmland in the village, a fifty-year-old man working on the side of the road smiled and spoke.

"Yo, Su girl, your second brother is back?"

"Uncle Tian, what kind of eyes do you have? This young man is not an Eastern Kid at first glance. ”

As soon as Su Dongli wanted to explain, Chu Chaoyang spoke.

"Uncle, I am Su Dongguo's comrade-in-arms, running errands in a nearby town, and he asked me to bring something to Su Xiaomei."

Everyone was stunned and didn't ask more.

"Come in."

Returning to the small courtyard and opening the gate, Su Dongli turned his head and greeted Chu Chaoyang, who was following behind him.

Following her into the small courtyard, Chu Chaoyang's eyes looked around, and Su Dongli put down the basket and beckoned him into the house.

"These are all asked by your second brother to bring to you, and there is a letter, I will bring it to you."

As he spoke, he pulled out a letter from his cross-body canvas bag.

took it apart, looking at the familiar handwriting, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised.

"Little sister, the second brother is going to participate in the exercise in half a month, and it is estimated that it will take more than a month to return to the army, and I will ask Lao Chu to bring you the money and food for the next month in advance."

Then there were some advices to tell her not to be reluctant to spend money, and to take good care of herself in the village.

The first page is full of words of advice and concern, which makes Su Dongli's heart warm.

Turning the first page, when she saw what was written on the second page, she immediately had a strange look on her face.

"Little sister, you will be nineteen years old in a few months, it's time to find your mother-in-law's family, Lao Chu is a good guy, let you meet first, wait for the second brother to come back from this exercise, there are some holidays, and then I will bring him back, so that you can take care of it."

"If the two of you can succeed, the second brother will be able to rest assured of your happiness in the future."

Seeing this, she subconsciously glanced at Chu Chaoyang from the corner of her eye.

"Seems pretty good..."

As soon as the idea appeared, she immediately cut it off, and her heart secretly snorted.

"Bah, what do you think, this is just a little kid, you are more than enough to be his ancestor."

"This second brother is really... I don't know how to say it. ”

quickly put away the letter, suppressed the messy thoughts in his head; "Have you eaten? I'll do it for you..."

Speaking of which, she remembered that her pots and pans didn't seem to work.

"The meal is still not done, I caught a hare in the mountains yesterday, I went to roast it for you, and drank wine? I'll go next door and get you some. ”

Chu Chaoyang was stunned again, staring at Su Dongli a little weirdly, the old sister of the comrade-in-arms greeted the guests, it seemed a little heroic.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Su Dongli continued; "Then you sit here for a while, and I'll get you something to eat."

Without waiting for him to say anything, he walked quickly outside.

"That..."

"How?"

"Just get a little bit of it, and don't bother too much."

"It won't be troublesome."

Su Dongli smiled, his already delicate little face was a little charming at this moment, and Chu Chaoyang was a little distracted.

Came to Aunt Genzi's house.

"Auntie, do you have any wine at home? Can you lend me some? ”

"Wine? Yes, you are..."

Aunt Genzi was a little stunned.

"One of my second brother's comrades-in-arms is here, so... Auntie, can you lend me a little? ”

"Oh oh oh, okay, you wait."

Aunt Genzi quickly got some for her, and her own grain brewed bulk liquor, about half a catty.

"Is that enough?"

"That's enough, thank you, Auntie, I'll go to town tomorrow to buy a bottle and pay it back to you."

Carrying the bottle back to her house, she saw Chu Chaoyang standing in the courtyard, she said with a smile; "There's a stool over there, you can sit for a while."

After that, she first talked about the wine bottle in her hand, took it to the hall and put it on the table, and then went to the chicken coop to pull out the fat hare, and carried it into the kitchen.

After a while, she came to the small courtyard and set up firewood in the open space in the middle, and under Chu Chaoyang's somewhat strange gaze, she really took out the hare and roasted it.
