Chen Jingnian rode his bicycle into the traffic.

Along the way, all kinds of sounds rang non-stop, the bells and stirrups scraped against the chain box, the butt pressed against the saddle, and the old spring creaked.

Together, these sounds are more deafening than the whistle of a train.

When he was about to reach the moat, Chen Jingnian glanced at the river again, and instead of seeing the half-sized children, he saw a rabbit coming out of the grass.

"Ha, it's really an eye-opener, I didn't expect that there would be rabbits in this place where you can see the train all over the world."

Chen Jingnian was sure that he was not dazzled, what he saw was indeed a rabbit, not a mouse and a weasel, his face immediately bloomed, and he grinned: "How do you say this!" ”

There were many hares on the outskirts of the city, and in the memories of the original owners, you can still find the stories of the old people who told them that when they were young, they blocked rabbit nests on the edge of the city and smoked rabbits with wormwood.

There are also many old people who have mentioned that in 42 years, the whole army hunted and killed hares on the outskirts of the city.

Now, more than 20 years have passed, especially after the ****** years, people have eaten all the bark of grass roots, so that in recent years few people have heard of seeing rabbits in this area.

"Rabbits? Good stuff! Braised rabbit meat, braised rabbit head! You can also get a new leather board for the fifth uncle, and then sew a leather hand stuffy for Nannan. ”

Almost instantly, Chen Jingnian arranged the rabbit from head to toe clearly.

"Weekend? Weekend afternoons, no time in the morning. ”

By the time Chen Jingnian came back to his senses, he had already arrived at the mouth of the alley.

went to Li Xianwen's car repair shop first, and pushed Li Xianwen to say hello to neighbors and acquaintances all the way to his home.

"Godfather, brother, I'm done with my homework."

Nan Nan heard the voice, ran out of the yard, and said with Li Xianwen in his arms

Li Xianwen and Chen Jingnian said yes together, and Nan Nan followed Li Xianwen into the courtyard, and the daily broadcast began on the way.

For example, who lent the eraser today, who won the grid jump, and how naughty the stick terrier was, it was all about the school anyway.

Chen Jingnian's head was big when he heard it, but Li Xianwen always happily agreed.

After Li Xianwen was settled, Nan Nan followed Chen Jingnian out and shouted, "Brother, I'm going to find Yuanyuan and them to dance rubber bands." ”

"Wear a mask."

Chen Jingnian re-tied his sister's braids, and then instructed: "Come back before the meal, don't eat at other people's houses." ”

"Gotcha."

She replied and ran away.

Chen Jingnian went into the house and hung up his pocket, took out a basin from the quilt, lifted the curtain made of sorghum stalks, and pulled out a tuft of gluten, which was the stick noodles he had made in the morning.

Sprinkle some flour alkali, knead well and let rise for a while.

Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Jingnian took care of the leftover cabbage from yesterday.

The water in the water tank was about to bottom out, Chen Jingnian lit the fire, put the washed artemisia grass into the pot, then scooped out half a bucket of water, brushed the water tank again, scooped away the muddy water, took out the flat pole and carried the bucket to the water station at the mouth of the alley to fetch water.

There were two wells in the courtyard before, which were the kind of old-fashioned wells with wheels, because they were bitter wells, and a few years ago, a water station was built at the mouth of the alley, and these two wells were filled.

He carried four or five loads of water from the water station and put the boiled artemisia grass into the tank. Then he cleaned Li Xianwen's small water tank again, and filled it with freshly drawn water.

Make a fire and remove from the pot.

The blazing firewood licked the bottom of the pot, and Chen Jingnian steamed the pot cake first.

Blanch the wilted purslane fern with the water of the evaporating cake, and then pass it through the cold water.

After the bottom of the pot is boiled dry, a little meat oil is added, and the freshly cooked cake and the meat oil that has changed its physical state emit different aromas.

Add the chopped green onions, the green onions are slightly yellow, pour in the shredded cabbage, stir-fry a few times, add soy sauce and salty salt, stimulate the pot gas, and then pour half a basin of cold water.

When the water is slightly boiling, stir the soup while pouring in the stirred stick batter, and after the batter spreads, cook for a while.

Chen Jingnian put out the stick batter, and was about to go out to shout to go home for dinner, when he was stopped by Lou Xiao'e who came out of the backyard.

"Axe, why didn't you go to dinner with your brother Xu!"

Lou Xiao'e is a little bit of baby fat, which is very rare in this era, combing the popular *** hair, pinning a shiny chemical hairpin on her head, wearing a top with a purple hot velvet collar, and her face is full of youthful confidence and arrogance.

"Sister Lou, Brother Xu called me, isn't it that I can't get out of the house."

Chen Jingnian turned around, and after glancing at Lou Xiao'e, he looked at the gray bricks on the eaves.

"Your projection team is not very good, I used to think that the projectionist was good, but since I met your brother Xu, I feel that your brother Xu is busier than anyone else, going to the countryside three or four times a month, one time is the shortest one or two days, and I don't know if he went to the countryside, or went to the bandits' nest, and came back twice, with fleas on his body......"

Lou Xiao'e is anxious and speaks quickly, Chen Jingnian has only counted ten tiles, and she is almost finished with the things of her life.

"Axe, Ezi."

Xu Damao, who became Cao Cao, walked in from outside the courtyard with two oiled paper bags and a small pot of flowers.

"Xu ......"

"Why are you back, didn't you ask Liu Guangtian to bring me a message, saying that you and the people from the security department will go out to eat tonight, the axe is in your screening group, why don't you let the axe bring me a message......"

Chen Jingnian just came out with a word, and was interrupted by Lou Xiao'e, he felt that Lou Xiao'e's tongue had either been opened or could be sealed.

Xu Damao's pig waist face squeezed out an awkward smile, and the hand carrying the thing was raised halfway and put it down.

His eyes moved from Chen Jingnian's body to Lou Xiao'e, and then looked at the ground,

Chen Jingnian looked through the ridge, and Xu Damao stared at the broken green bricks.

“…… Speak, why don't you speak, tell me why, ah! ”

Lou Xiao'e shook her baby's fat face, and asked in a crisp voice.

"Well, the axe went out at that time, and I saw Liu Guangtian leave work early, so I asked him to bring you a message."

Xu Damao was startled by Lou Xiao'e, who didn't know when to approach, choked for a moment, and then smiled flatteringly: "Aren't I afraid that you will be tired, you are busy cleaning up the house these days, if I come back to eat, you will not be busy with speculation." ”

"Virtue, why did you come back?"

"Hey, if you don't ask, I'll forget it."

Xu Damao took out one of the oil paper packets in his hand, handed them over, and said, "Axe, today you Brother Xu and I have a treat, you can't get away from something at home, and the Zhijun of the Security Department was called to a meeting by Director Li again."

The big guy waited for a stretch, and he was so hungry that he couldn't do it, so he planned to drink it another day, no, when I came back, I cut two pieces of pig's head meat by the way, and our brothers had one by one, look at it, this is not a broken basket, a foreign fall. ”

"Brother Xu, my meals are ready, you and Sister Lou can eat this meat."

Chen Jingnian took a step back and waved his hand and said.

"I still see you Brother Xu, and it is more or less your Brother Xu's heart."

Lou Xiao'e snatched the pig's head meat, took three or two steps forward and hung it on the nail of the pillar of Chen Jingnian's house, turned around and pulled Xu Damao away.

"Ezi, you see I asked you for potted flowers, Yueji, it is said that the flowering can have such a big ......"

Xu Damao took advantage of the situation to put his arm around Lou Xiao'e's shoulder, Lou Xiao'e twisted her body twice, and leaned over obediently.

"This ......"

Seeing that the two of them were tired of being together, Chen Jingnian couldn't stop them, and he couldn't stop them, so he could only thank the two of them.

I went out to the yard next door and called the girl back, cut a little half of the pig's head meat, and mixed it with purslane.

first sent the food to the main room, and poured Li Xianwen half a glass of the first wine that Zhao Jianjun brought yesterday.

When he returned to the wing, he chewed the pig's head meat with the girl who was waiting for him to eat, and slurped.

......

The next day, Chen Jingnian handed Li Mancang the graph paper with eight carving knives, four embryo knives and two lancets.

"The maximum width is twenty, you let Lao Tzu open his mouth and get these few broken things that are not as big as toothpicks!"

Li Mancang glared at the graph paper twice, and walked away with his hands behind his back.

"Toothpicks?! Dinosaurs. ”

Chen Jingnian snickered and returned to the screening team, looked at the extra female workers in the room, and realized that something was wrong.

It's early in the morning, before it's time to show movies on the weekend, why are so many people here?

"Axe, it's back."

Xu Damao greeted with a catfish mouth.

Chen Jingnian only felt a wave of commotion rushing to his face, and he slowed down for a moment before responding: "Brother Xu." ”

He walked up to the master and blinked.

As a result, the old man ignored him and secretly enjoyed himself with the jar.

"Your nickname is Axe, and my brother's nickname is Chain."

A female worker came to Chen Jingnian and pretended to be surprised.

"My brother's name is Hammer!"

"Aren't you a dumbfounder?"

"Your brother is called a second stunned!"

"My brother and I are classmates in six years of elementary school, and he still wants to hide that little thing from me."

"Yo'er, so you're my brother's tipper!"

"Bullshit......

"Yes, you know it yourself, and you also deserve a sharp word!"

……

The two female workers over there were arguing, Xu Damao would help for a while, and help that for a while, and they were very busy.

At this moment, a slender and tall female worker walked up to the two noisy female workers and said with a smile: "My cousin is also called Axe!" You say it's a coincidence. ”

Chen Jingnian sat down next to the master, sighed secretly, returned to normal when he raised his head, and said with a smile: "Ah! Is it? What a coincidence, is he good at chopping wood? ”

The female worker was stunned for a moment, her eyes fanned, and she replied with a smile: "Amazing, the arm is thick and the wood is stumbling, and two axes can split it." ”

She is wearing a ninety percent new overalls, and her appearance is okay, but her nasolabial folds are deeper, and she looks a little old.

"That's pretty powerful, when I was sick a few years ago, I couldn't even break the roots of the lamp."

Chen Jingnian leaned over and looked weak.

He didn't think anything wrong about these female workers who were so active, but he didn't want to offend them, so he could only blacken himself.

"What's the disease? Is it so serious? ”

The tall female worker asked softly with a concerned look.

When the two women who were arguing so much heard this, they also stopped and looked this way.

"It's not easy to say ......"

Chen Jingnian's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated to stretch his voice.

"Xu Damao, you know no."

One of the stocky female workers turned to Xu Damao and asked in a loud voice.

"This ......"

Xu Damao glanced at Chen Jingnian, his eyes flickered, and he pursed his catfish mouth, pretending to be reserved.

The atmosphere became awkward, and several female workers lost their initial enthusiasm, pushed around Xu Damao twice, and left in Xu Damao's laughter.

"Axe, Brother Xu is not interesting enough."

Xu Damao's face was obscene, squeezing his pig's waist face, and flattered Chen Jingnian.

"Brother Xu, I just brought it up on purpose."

Chen Jingnian grinned and didn't take this stubble.

"Then next time these girls ask me again, I'll really say it!"

Xu Damao's triangular eyes opened and shouted.

"Brother Xu, it's only been a few years since my parents died, and I'm still young, and I don't want to think about personal issues yet."

After Chen Jingnian finished speaking in a calm tone, he got up and picked up the thermos, filled Lao Liu with water, and went out with two empty thermoses.

The projection crew was silent, leaving a trail of barely audible footsteps in the hallway.

"Xu Damao, Jing Nian is my apprentice, if you dare to say bad things about him behind your back, I can't spare you."

Liu Guanggeng paused heavily in the enamel jar and said in an unkind tone.

"Master Liu, no one said that you are an apprentice, we are from one of the hospitals, and now we are all in the screening group, I can't help him!"

Xu Damao wiped his long sideburns, stood up and said impatiently.

"If you know, it's good."

Liu Guanggeng poured the water in the cup on the ground, and the water spread out on both sides with steam, like a spreading crack.

Xu Damao shook his clothes and walked out without saying a word.
