Chapter Forty-Eight: Can New Life Really Herald New Beginnings?

In this way, the difficult days lasted for seven or eight days, and when Zhaohai was fine, he went to the fields after the flood receded to dig some vegetable roots and cook them into a meal, and if he was lucky, he would dig up a few sweet potatoes in the fields. Zhaohai burned a small wind stove in the back patio and baked cabbage root and sweet potato cakes to eat. He taught Lan Xin to remain wise and optimistic in the face of difficult adversity.

They gave the baby a name, Nian Xin, to comfort Zhaohai's homesickness.

The sky was still dripping with light rain, Lan Xin coaxed Nianxin in the set up tent, she sang beautifully, and Nianxin fell asleep sweetly in her arms. His tears were still hanging on his cheeks because he was crying because he was hungry just now, and his long eyelashes were hidden, Lan Xin looked at him with pity, humming a familiar song in his mouth.

At this moment, a man wearing a hat and a hat ran in, and Lan Xin said happily when he saw this: "Brother, you are back, how is the situation outside?" ”

Zhaohai took off his hat and coat, and said: "The flood has receded downstream, and we will be able to leave here in two or three days, Lan Xin, are you happy!" Zhaohai, who has lived in the wild for many days, has stubble on his face, and his originally fair skin has also been sharpened into a bronze by the wind and rain, which adds a sense of masculinity.

He was a little excited and pretended to be mysterious and took out a few sweet potatoes from the cloth bag: "Today there is another harvest, and there are ...... This one! Then Zhaohai slowly took out something wrapped in green leaves from his bag, Lan Xin leaned in curiously to take a look, only to see that Zhaohai's spread out leaves were actually a big carp of more than a pound!

"Wow, brother, how did you get that? Great! Lan Xin clapped her hands and said happily.

"Coincidentally, as soon as I found a sweet potato in the field, I saw a farmer carrying a bamboo basket, and he stopped me and asked if I could exchange the sweet potatoes I had dug for the fish in his bamboo basket. When I saw that the fish was still alive and fresh, I asked him where he had caught it, and he said that the pond in the east of the village was overflowing with water, and somehow many fish swam in. As soon as I heard that I had given the farmer two sweet potatoes, I went to the east of the village to fish. ”

Zhaohai leaned up and looked at the sleeping Nianxin, and I don't know what the reason was, from the first time Zhaohai saw Nianxin, he felt that he had an eye for this child, he stared at it for a while, then turned around and went outside to clean up the fish scales and internal organs, and then he set up an iron pot on the fire, and put the fish in the clear water pot for a while, and the gurgling aroma gradually wafted.

"It smells so good!" Lan Xin praised that the two of them had not touched meat for a few days.

Zhaohai poured the first soup into a porcelain bowl and kept it for Nian Xin to drink, and the two of them sat around the iron pot, and you pushed me to wipe out this pot of fish and fish soup. Lan Xin was satisfied while nibbling on the raw sweet potato: "This pot of fish and meat is in the stomach, and you can go into battle to kill the enemy if you are a young man......" Zhao Haile couldn't help but laugh when he looked at her fake appearance. Indeed, it is rare to be able to maintain an optimistic attitude in such a hostile environment, and those who are not in it simply cannot understand its preciousness.

Three days later, Zhaohai took Lan Xin and Nian Xin to finally embark on the journey back to the south.

Nianxin was lying in Lan Xin's arms crying, Zhaohai was carrying the household belongings and luggage for cooking, plus he hadn't eaten anything at all for a few days, and the only food was left for Lan Xin and Nianxin, whenever Lan Xin forced him to eat, he always said that he was not hungry. Now Zhaohai's physical strength has been overdrawn to the peak, he can't see clearly in front of him, he feels that his steps are like a thousand pounds and he can't lift up, he stumbled and fell beside the mound of dirt on the side of the road, panting from time to time, his face was as pale as paper......
