Han Jin left early the next morning, Zhou Lanxiang wanted to wrap him a few dumplings, but he didn't let him say anything, he knew how many noodles there were at home, most of them were made into dry food and brought to him, and Xiangxiang couldn't be allowed to eat coarse grains at home.

Zhou Lanxiang knew his temper, and he didn't insist, so he repeated the old trick, using more than half of flour, a small half of cornmeal, adding coarse and peeled sorghum rice noodles, making a big pot of soft and sweet Sanhe noodles and big steamed buns, stir-fried salty and spicy chili pepper flakes, celery pickles, mixed with hot and sour cabbage slices, plus a few side dishes at home, and cooked a big pot of tomato and cucumber soup.

Before the meal was ready, the fragrance wafted out far away, and even the old captain, who was accustomed to wandering around the tunzi early in the morning, couldn't help but come over to take a look, and shouted in the yard before he entered the door: "Xiaoxiang, what are you doing delicious?" The fragrance wafted for a while! ”

It's a pity that he has a bad trachea, he can't smell the spicy smell, and he doesn't even dare to enter the door, so Zhou Lanxiang gave him two bowls of small potatoes in sauce and pickles in the sauce jar that he made and a light and refreshing sauce jar with enough salty flavor, and he had to tell him uncomfortably that both of them are salty, and he must eat less, otherwise he will cough.

Even so, Zhou Lanxiang reminded herself that she had to ask Xiaoshan to send a few large white radishes to the old captain tonight to moisten her lungs and suppress cough.

Don't be like the old grandfather next door, who ate half a bowl of garlic eggplant at one time, and ate a bowl of small potatoes with sauce the next day, so much so that he has to clear his throat before he speaks!

Han Jin sent the old captain out of the door, and when he came back, he went to the old grandfather's house by the way, and he didn't know what he said, he had been gone for more than ten days, and the old man didn't even ask Zhou Lanxiang for pickles to eat, and he didn't want to give it!

This is a later story, Han Jin had a hot breakfast to his heart's content, and prepared the set of equipment left by his grandfather to enter the mountain, a large cotton jacket in bear skin, indigo shoes, a fox fur hat, a bullet bag tied around his waist, and of course, the two best shotguns in the whole commune and even the county.

He was wearing his best set of clothes to wear when he went out, a new cotton jacket that fits well and is warm, and the thin tweed jacket that Xiangxiang made for him, and the cotton shoes on his feet are also specially made by Xiangxiang, although they are cloth cotton shoes, they are not cotton bales that rural people wear soft and unlooked every day and only want to keep warm, but a pair of cotton shoes that are sewn with tight stitches and are very suitable to wear.

Xiaoshan was envious again, "Sister, these shoes are as upright as leather shoes!" You can make me a pair too! It's so pretty! "Boys also love beauty, and he is really envious of seeing that Brother Jin is dressed so energetically!

Han Jin pulled the hill that was circling around him to the side, straightened his waist and showed Xiangxiang how energetic he was.

After packing up Han Jin, Zhou Lanxiang packed her with a bag of dried vegetables and a jar of Grandpa Yang's favorite snow cabbage soybeans and a jar of leek flowers, and asked Han Jin to bring a message to Grandpa Yang, and make him spicy dried fish next summer, so that he should not worry.

Finally, he also brought a bundle of freshly cut leeks and a bundle of garlic sprouts at home, which were given to Grandpa Yang's apprentice, Director Li. Han Jin wants to have a good relationship with others, but with Grandpa Yang's affection, both parties can't be too close, and it is of course better to send some rare things from the family than to send them outside.

Han Jin knew that there was only this bundle of garlic sprouts left at home, and he was originally going to stay for the New Year to eat, but Xiangxiang brought it to him, so he didn't say anything after thinking about it. After sending these, he must have to get back ten times and a hundred times from the forest farm to compensate for Xiangxiang!

Han Jin rode his eldest brother's bicycle, and Han Liguo had to frequently run to the commune to run errands during the Chinese New Year, but Han Jin said that he wanted to go into the mountains, so he gave him the bicycle without saying a word, and offered to say that he couldn't tell his parents about going into the mountains, for fear that his parents would come back and there would be something wrong with them.

That's for sure, these days, the old couple of the Han family scolded Han Jin every day, angry that he couldn't do things, and bought such a big piece of high-priced meat for his eldest sister Han Lirong, I don't know how much money was wronged!

If they knew that Han Jin had entered the mountain, they would definitely have to find a way to make him compensate Han Lirong, and they wouldn't know what was going to happen when the time came!

However, because he was angry with Han Jin, his mother Niu Cuiping was afraid of him because of what happened a few days ago, so she simply couldn't see him, and she ignored him these days and deliberately hung him out, but she didn't find him entering the mountain.

Han Jin asked the old captain for leave, saying that one of Grandpa Han's old comrades-in-arms was seriously ill, and the old man had no children and no daughters, so he went over to take care of it.

So except for Zhou Lanxiang, Xiaoshan and Han Liguo, all the people, including Zhou Qingsong, who was instructed by Han Jin to come over every day to fetch water and chop wood for Xiangxiang, the big guys thought that he was an old comrade-in-arms who went to visit Grandpa Han.

Han Jin left, Xiaoshan didn't go out to play, even if Erdan and a few friends came to him, he would make a slingshot with them at home or play in the threshing floor in front of him for a while, not going anywhere, and always guarding his sister.

Zhou Qingsong came over every morning, filled a tank of water for Xiaoxiang, and then went to chop firewood, Han Jin chopped all the firewood when he left, he split the wooden halberd a little smaller, and after finishing the work, he had to go around the house in a circle, and the horns were touching and looking for work, and even the house nest on the eaves of the old grandfather next door was blocked by him.

Although he is very much like caring about his sister, he has always been clumsy and can't say anything, but he just tells Xiaoshan every day: "Accompany your second sister well and do more work for her." Or tell Zhou Lanxiang: "Don't be afraid of water, you can make as much as you want, and the eldest brother will pick it for you!" Don't be afraid of firewood, use hot water for laundry, if the firewood is not enough, the big brother will call you! ”

Zhou Lanxiang knew that he was guilty of his sister-in-law Wu Cuihua, she divorced, moved, and it has been several days since she settled down, Wu Cuihua has never come to see her once, that is, on the day she repaired the house, everyone in the team came, but she had never seen Wu Cuihua's figure.

This must have an opinion on her divorce, and felt that she was ashamed, and even her two little nieces were confined at home and were not allowed to come to her. In the past, when she was not divorced, the eldest girl and the second girl came to her to get delicious food, but Wu Cuihua didn't say anything and pretended not to know.

"Big brother, don't be embarrassed, sister-in-law thinks it's her business, I don't take it to heart. Don't always quarrel with her, let the people in the tunzi know about the joke, and it's not good for me and Xiaoshan. ”

Zhou Lanxiang knew that only this reason could convince the eldest brother, and sure enough, according to Xiaoshan, the eldest brother rarely quarreled with the eldest sister-in-law since then.

Zhou Lanxiang sat at home and started doing needlework steadily, this year is the first year they moved out, there must be a new dress for the New Year, as well as shoes and socks for next year, and thin cotton clothes for the spring, all of which are for her to sew out stitches and threads.

Of course, the most important thing is the clothes that Xiaoshan has to wear to school, the high school in the county is no better than the junior high school in the commune, and there are children from any family, even if she is not top-notch, she can't let Xiaoshan look down on her classmates because of food and clothing.

And in addition to the needlework accident, who makes bean buns in Tunzi to make bean paste has to ask her to help, her bean paste is the best in the whole tunzi, sometimes I have to go to two houses a day to help watch the fire, there is no way but to take the soles of the shoes.

Busy until the twentieth day of the lunar month, seeing that it is about to celebrate the New Year, the people who went to various construction sites to send migrant workers have also come back one after another, and the tunzi began to be lively.

Zhou Lanxiang counted the days, and her heart slowly hung up, Han Limin had happened in the past two days.

Sure enough, on the evening of the twentieth day of the lunar month, Han Jin's mother Niu Cuiping and second sister-in-law Feng Guihua suddenly broke into Zhou Lanxiang's house, and grabbed her tightly before they had time to say anything when they entered the door: "Quickly inform Xiao Wu, something is wrong at home!" Hurry up and get him back! ”
