Sitting up gently, Wen Juan lightly picked up the empty tea jar at the bedside that had used up a small half cup of water, held it with her left hand, and placed her right hand on it.

Through the faint moonlight and dim light in the room, she could see the water surface in the clear water cup that had just covered the bottom of the cup a finger deep, and she was sure that the previous teapot was completely devoid of water·····

My heart couldn't help but swell up with joy, a pounding beat, it was the voice of excitement. Rao is Wen Juan, who has always been calm, and she can't help but feel Peng Peng jumping in her heart because of this huge blessing, and her eyes are shining. After drinking the remaining water in the teapot in one gulp and lying down again, Wen Juan was also a little excited, and all kinds of ideas were swept through in a mess, and finally it took a while to regain her calm and gradually fall asleep.

In her sleeping face, Wen Juan smiled faintly at the corner of her lips, that is, she was finally relaxed because of the uncertainty and tense emotions of this era because of the collision of memories, she believed that she could live a good life. Tomorrow is a new journey, and the future is full of expectations.

On the other side, the Shen family, who also follows the tradition of the village, Shen Weiguo, who rests at sunset, thinks about the fiancée he just decided on today, and thinks about the beautiful life of joining hands and having children in pairs in the future, he has always been calm and can't help but look forward to it, his thoughts are flying quietly, his mood fluctuates with the waves, and it is difficult to fall asleep for a long time.

When he was chatting with his comrades-in-arms, he saw the comrade-in-arms who had a daughter-in-law snickering, and he also had puzzlement and anticipation, but when such a thing really happened to him, thinking about the girl who didn't know when he would be reflected in his appreciation, the joy in his heart couldn't help but surge.

I don't know what time it was in the middle of the night, but Shen Weiguo fell asleep with anticipation. The biological clock cultivated by the troops, even if there is no wake-up bell, as soon as five o'clock arrives, Shen Weiguo will get up on time, it seems that he has had some sweet dreams at night, and he can't remember the content, but the kind of satisfaction and joy that fills his heart makes Shen Weiguo feel very good.

Energetic and quickly got up, dressed and folded the quilt, washed and cleaned the water tank in the kitchen, knocked on thin ice and filled it with water, and habitually played a full set of military physical boxing activities to open the muscles and bones, and when he moved his forehead and his whole body was steaming, and the corners of his eyebrows were sweating, Shen Genshen also cleaned up, cleaned the yard a little, and was ready to start cooking the morning meal, Shen Weiguo wanted to help, Shen Genshen waved his hand again and again: "Burn the fire in the morning, simple, don't interfere with Weiguo!" ”

Shen Weiguo saw that there was really no work on the stove and under the pot, so he no longer insisted on stepping forward. Feeling that the heat on his body had subsided, he turned around and went to the West House, put on his military coat, walked out, and said hello to Shen Genshen in the courtyard: "Dad, I'll go to the back mountain to find Dalin, you don't have to wait for me to eat first in a while!" ”

The Shen family brigade is backed by the mountain, and the back mountain behind the village is further in, connected to the undulating Dabie Mountain Range, worried that there will be hungry wild animals coming down the mountain in winter to harm the crops, or there is no time to respond to any disaster in the forest, so a mountain ranger has been specially set up. Dalin is one of the most ironclad brothers in the village before he joined the army, and he is also tall and big, and his body looks stronger than him. Although he has not been in the village all these years, he has a letter from his father to explain, and he is familiar with the changes in the village.

In the past two days since I came back, I haven't had time to meet these iron brothers, and it is estimated that there are other arrangements at noon. Taking advantage of this time, he went to meet the Iron Brothers, and by the way, to see if he could borrow the militia's homemade earthen guns, and go for a walk in the woods to find some game.

Before enlisting in the army, when the half-year-old children of that era were not hungry and caught up with difficulties, their brothers did not go up to the mountains to fill their stomachs. Find out if you can find something to fill the house.

At this time, even if he has some money, the New Year's meat is always nervous, not to mention that he now has more Yue family to pay homage to. When they went over yesterday, the Yang family estimated that they used all the good things prepared for the New Year, and it was time to be nervous for the New Year. His father thought that he was the only one for the New Year, or he went directly to Xiao Erjia, and he didn't prepare anything, and he needed to fill in it.

At the pass of the back mountain, there is a sturdy hut made of bricks and stones, and the fence outside the house is high, all of which are made of solid wood and tamped coils, which are strong enough to precipitate the traces of time, that is, to prevent any big animals from coming down, the people who patrol the mountain and forest are hiding inside, and they are safe, and they can also notify the village in time to prepare.

Seeing this familiar stone house fence, Shen Weiguo couldn't help but have a touch of contemplation in his eyes, when he was a child, his memory was always full of scenes here, and he also grew up playing here. At that time, Dalin's father and Uncle Dahe were forest rangers in the village, and their gang of taoboys grew up running all over the mountains.

Now, even if things are people, the memory is enduring, Uncle Dahe has returned home to tease his grandson, and now the inside is... Shen Weiguo opened his mouth and shouted: "Dalin! ”

"Wait a minute, I'll come!" Hearing the call of the voice outside, Shen Maolin responded with a sleepy haze, came out in a coat, and saw that it was Shen Weiguo, stunned, and couldn't help striding forward, opened the fence door, hammered Shen Weiguo in the chest with a big fist, and said overjoyedly: "I heard that your kid is back, and the comrades of the People's Liberation Army are finally willing to come to me, an old peasant brother!" ”

"How dare you, there has been a delay in the past two days, why don't you get up early in the morning and hurry up to see you! You have a beautiful little life, sleep until the sun basks your buttocks and wake up naturally, guard the mountains, see that your tendons and flesh are strong, and you have harmed the livestock in the mountains! Shen Weiguo smiled and stretched out his hand, shook Shen Maolin hard, and hugged him.

Even if the brothers haven't seen each other for nearly ten years, the strong friendship has become stronger with the precipitation of time, and a few words and a hug will continue. After being excited, Shen Maolin sighed: "It's been more than twelve years, you kid is finally willing to go back to the village, and finally came back alive!" "A few years ago, the east was uncertain, and Lao Maozi was at war, it is said that the defense of the country also went to the battlefield, although it is a man's feats, a good man is determined in all directions, but it is to let the people in the family worry about it, for fear of an accident.

Now seeing Shen Weiguo come back with all his hands and feet, he is more upright and strong than before, full of energy, and his heart is put down, and he can't help but be more excited, "Let's go, I'll go and say hello to Erniu, let's go and talk to my uncle, go to my house for dinner, and I'll ask your sister-in-law to give you a rabbit and pheasant to satisfy your hunger." The hares and pheasants on this mountain are still the same smell as they were back then, I just caught them two days ago, and I promise to let you break your belly! ”

He turned around and walked towards the stone house, followed by Shen Weiguo and said, "Da Lin, don't worry about this, your earthen gun is not here, I want to take a trip up the mountain!" ”

"Dalin, who... Wei! Shen Erniu, who was slow Shen Maolin was in a daze, was also an iron brother who was playing with Shen Weiguo in open crotch pants, this time it was him and Shen Maolin guarding the mountain, and he didn't sleep until the early hours of the morning, and when he heard the movement, he didn't get to the door before he got to the door, and he ran into the two brothers who entered the house, and the puzzled voice was replaced by a complete surprise before he finished asking.

"It's me, Erniu, I heard that you are all children's fathers!" Shen Weiguo also responded with a smile, after not seeing each other for many years, the brothers had a close greeting again. Hearing Shen Weiguo's intention, the two brothers took down the homemade earthen gun from the wall in front of the window without any hesitation and handed one to Shen Weiguo.

Shen Maolin said with a smile: "Let's go, it just so happens that Erniu and I are also going to go into the mountains for a walk, by the way, let's see if there is something in the trap ahead, let's get together again, let those wild animals know that our brothers are back, it's time for them to contribute to welcome!" ”

"Yes, let's go, defend the country, let us see if your skills have regressed, I haven't practiced much over the years, so I should surpass you!" Shen Erniu patted Shen Weiguo's shoulder and challenged unconvinced, when the half-year-old children were hungry for meat, there were no conditions, so they secretly went up the mountain to scourge, but they practiced a good craft, among them, the youngest of the three brothers in the same year was as good as a monkey, and the quasi-head was also incomparable to the two brothers. Shen Maolin is more steady, Shen Erniu still has some anger that refuses to admit defeat, and he is also a goodbye to his brothers, and he instantly pulls back to the past, which is not strange at all.

"Haha... I guess I'm going to disappoint you, Erniu, I've been in the old forest on the border all these years, and I've practiced my kung fu a lot! As they spoke, the three brothers packed up and thought about moving into the depths of the back mountain. These places in front of the mountain are the places where the people in the village often walk, and those wild things are also very good, and almost no one will come to this side.

If you want to find something good, you have to go inside. Most of the men in the village have the skill of hunting game with both hands, but it is obvious that all the wild things have gone into the mountains in recent years, and since someone was injured by a large animal in the mountains a few years ago, few people have entered the mountains. These brothers are bold and dare to go deeper.

"Yo... Good luck, it was just the right time for Wei Guo to come back, and he actually set two rabbits and a pheasant, which should be a blessing for Wei Guo! Give, Weiguo, don't be polite to your brothers, take it back to add food to you and Uncle Shen, it's considered that the brothers will pick you up first! "The three brothers entered the mountain, Shen Maolin and Shen Erniu first took Shen Weiguo to see a few hidden traps they set up on the mountain, and actually picked up two rabbits and a pheasant in the five pits of the Good Luck Road, which is not necessarily good luck for ten days and months!

The two of them couldn't help but smile and picked it up, tied up the frozen hare and the pheasant that still had some breath, and handed it over to Shen Weiguo without any hesitation. The brother has not returned for several years, and it is easy to come back, so he has to be entertained and make up for it.
