It was already past noon when he returned to the mountain, and he didn't think much about it when Li Bokang followed Yang Xue to the mountain at first, he just thought that she lived in a certain village on the mountain, but as he slowly went deeper, he began to wonder in his heart. It wasn't until he arrived that he realized that it wasn't what he thought it was at all. He was completely stunned when he looked at the cave in front of him and the few thatched houses and a vegetable patch on the side, and he never thought about it. So he could only stand aside.

Looking at his reaction, Yang Xue also thought about it, but she still said: "See, this is my home, I also said before that my conditions here are not good, not to mention it in the mountains, I live in caves and grass houses." It's different from what you think, if you regret it now, I'll send you down the mountain before it's dark. Li Bokang suddenly woke up when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Brother Yang Zi is not, I was just surprised and didn't mean anything else." This is already very good, there is food and shelter, and if it weren't for Brother Yang Zi, you might not even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. "Okay, as long as you don't dislike it, then come in first." So saying, she took her things on her back and walked into the house.

Put everything in the kitchen, the house is unlocked, just use ropes to bolt the door and doorpost and shut it. Yang Xue thought for a while and said: "Bokang, why don't you live in the cave first, there is also a bed in it, but it is all simple ones made by myself, not as good as those beds under the mountain, you can settle for a while, and I will change a bed for you later." "Okay." Then she took him to the cave. As he walked, he said to him: "Although the cave is a little dark, it is still very wide inside, and there is no need to worry about snakes, insects, rats, ants and the like. It's just that there are still mosquitoes or something in the summer now, but I'll burn some Artemisia annua for you before you go to bed for a while. Later, I'll build you a room outside, and you can move out. ”

Hearing her patiently explain to her, as well as his future arrangements, Li Bokang felt a little warm in his heart. Since his parents were gone after the flood, he had seen too much warmth and coldness, and no one had been so kind to him for a long time, even if it was just some simple arrangements, it made him feel warm again. So he said: "Okay, everything is arranged by Brother Yang, and I will work hard in the future." "Well, come, you take your things and sit on the stool to rest for a while, and I'll make the bed for you, and then you can rest." After speaking, take out the cotton wool and bed sheets and quilts that have been put away, first spread the cotton wool and bed sheets, and then put the quilt in a quilt cover. After laying it out, he looked at it and went to get a pillow to put it away, and said, "Okay, you can rest first, I'll go cook, and I'll call you when the meal is ready." "I'll help you." Li Bokang answered.

Hearing his words, Yang Xue looked at him carefully, and although he sat and rested for a while, his face was still very pale, and then he looked at his weak body. Yang Xue said: "You better have a good rest, I will be done soon by myself." If you really want to help, take care of your body first, don't get tired again, in case you get sick again, it's not helping. Alright, you can rest first. After speaking, Yang Xue went out to cook. Looking at the people who walked out, Li Bokang knew that although her words were not good just now, he still knew the truth. So he went to rest, and he was really tired, and he quickly fell asleep in bed.

Yang Xue, who came out of the hole, first sorted out all the things she bought, put the grain in the warehouse, and put the meat in the basket in the kitchen. Seeing that there was still time, I cut off one of the pig's feet I bought and put it in the pot to cook, and then went to the vegetable field to pick vegetables. When I came to the field, I saw that the vegetables in the field were ripe and ready to be picked in just two days, especially green beans and cowpeas. The beans used to dry vegetables should not be too cooked, otherwise they will not look good when they are dried. So she went back and got a basket to pick all the beans that could be picked in the field, and picked a few tomatoes and went back.

It takes a long time to stew pork knuckles, so she wants to pick out the dishes she has picked before cooking. There are still a lot of dishes to pick back, and there is a basket, but the method of choosing is simple, so the speed is also very fast. Once you've chosen, you'll start cooking, and when it's past lunchtime, you'll just be ready for dinner. The staple food is white rice, and she thought that today was the first day Li Bokang came, so she would eat white rice, which could be regarded as picking up the wind and washing the dust for him. I put another stove on the fire, then boiled a pot of water for a while, and then stuffed the small pot in the middle that was originally used to boil water.

The next thing is to prepare the dishes for the evening, a scrambled egg with tomato and a fried meat with beans. First, take the tomatoes and beans to the river and wash them, and if they were washed at home, they would have been washed at home, but she thought about washing all the things that were going to be dried. In this way, there are more dishes, although the water at home is enough, but it needs to be used a lot, and it is also troublesome to carry the water, so it is directly brought to the river to wash. After washing, I first cut the tomatoes into a bowl and then cut the beans, using green beans to slice the beans diagonally, and then cut some ginger and garlic after cutting. Originally, she wanted to fry meat with chili peppers, but then she thought that Li Bokang was just in the stomach but had not yet nourished food that was not suitable for eating, so she fried it with beans.

After all the side dishes are prepared, the meat is cut at the end. In the end, the dish was ready, the rice was almost stuffy, and the pig's feet were stewed. She also added some dried vegetables to the pig's feet, and finally put some salt to taste it, although it is not particularly good, but the taste is okay. After putting all the dishes on the kitchen table, and waiting for the time to eat, she went to the cave and called Li Bokang out to eat.

When she came to the door of the cave, she did not immediately go in, but shouted at the door: "Come out to eat, are you awake?" And Li Bokang, who was sleeping soundly in the cave, vaguely seemed to hear someone calling him, but he fell asleep again because he was really tired. Hearing that no one answered, Yang Xue shouted a few more times at the door, and this was Li Bokang, who heard him shouting again, finally woke up. Looking at the environment around him, he immediately woke up and replied: "Brother Yang Zi, I'm awake, I'll come out immediately." After a while, he appeared at the door, and when he saw him come out, Yang Xue said, "Let's go, eat, let's sleep after eating." After speaking, he took Li Bokang to the kitchen.

The two came to the kitchen, Yang Xue took the bowl and said, "You sit down first, I'll add rice." The two were very silent when they ate, and Yang Xue said: "I don't have the habit of eating and sleeping silently, so you have to get used to it slowly." And you drink more soup and eat some meat, the doctor said that you should make up for it, but you can't eat too much at once and take it slowly. "yes, I see." After eating, brushing the bowl, it was not yet dark, Yang Xue brought out the prepared dishes and prepared to sort them out. Li Bokang also wanted to help when he saw it, but she didn't refuse, but just told him how to get it.

After drying the dishes, she said, "Okay, it's almost time, let's wash and sleep." This night, because of the presence of another person, Yang Xue couldn't fall asleep for a long time. And Li Bokang on the side also didn't fall asleep, maybe it was because he slept during the day or came to a new place, or both, in short, he hadn't fallen asleep for a long time. He thought: I will live in this place in the future, and now that the food and housing have been solved, I still have to apply for household registration. His previous household registration was washed away by the water, and he didn't want to become a homeless person, and it was convenient to have a household registration. But it is very troublesome to handle household registration, and it seems that Yang Zige has to be troubled again. Somehow, he didn't have much vigilance against Brother Yang Zi, maybe it was because he saved him and took care of him and took him in. Thinking like this, and because of the exhaustion of his body, he fell asleep not long after.
