"Splendid girl, is dinner ready? We're all hungry. A loud voice shouted at the door, and then a number of people came in from outside.

Yun Zhen came out of the house, "Jinxiu is not comfortable, so she is resting in the house." Sit down, big guys, and I'll serve you dinner. With that, Yun Zhen went to open the pot and turned the rice up and down with a large shovel, and the other three small half-pullers also came forward to help and help serve food to everyone.

"Yes, a girl's family, who is tired on this mountain all day long, where can there be no problem? Let's all be quiet, let Jinxiu have a good rest. A wooden handle hurriedly said.

When Qian Mingyuan heard that his daughter was uncomfortable, he hurriedly went into the house to take a look, only to see Jinxiu sitting on the kang with a cotton jacket on her body. "Girl, what's wrong with you? Do you have a cold? Qian Mingyuan stepped forward and touched his daughter's head and hands, feeling fine.

"Dad, I'm fine, but my body is not very good." Jinxiu said softly.

Qian Mingyuan is a person who has married a daughter-in-law, where can he not understand this, he will understand it in a flash. "I remember the brown sugar I bought for you last time, you rushed some to drink, don't touch the cold water for the past two days, just rest. It's too cold on this mountain, you have to be careful, it's cold outside today, you burn more firewood at night, don't freeze. ”

Jinxiu nodded, indicating that she knew everything. Qian Mingyuan saw that his daughter was fine, so he went out to eat from the house.

As soon as Qian Mingyuan left, Yun Zhen came in with food, "You can eat in the house, and you have to go to the outhouse." With that, Yun Zhen put all the food on the kang.

"What about you?" Jinxiu saw that Yun Zhen only brought one person's food in, so she asked.

"I'll eat in the outhouse." Yun Zhen laughed.

"Eat with me in the house, go and bring the food in, I'll eat alone, it's not fragrant." Splendid soft voice.

"Hey, okay, I'll get it." Yun Zhen was stunned for a moment, then went to bring in his own food with a smile, and the two of them had dinner in the house. "You eat more, your health is not good, how can you eat more?" Yun Zhen saw that Jinxiu had little to eat, so he persuaded him.

Jinxiu ate some more, then put down the chopsticks, "I can't eat, I have no appetite today." ”

Yun Zhen hurriedly ate all his own food, and then took out all the dishes and chopsticks of the two people. At this time, the people in the outhouse were almost eating, and a kid shouted, "Yun Zhen, you kid is not authentic, why did you go to the inner room to eat?" ”

"Then you still need to say it, Yun Zhen is going to take care of Jinxiu, right?" Someone else shouted. "Hey, I said Yun Zhen, look at you are usually quite honest, but I didn't expect to have this heart. None of the brothers dared to come forward to Jinxiu, I didn't expect you kid to have the guts. ”

The crowd burst out laughing.

Qian Mingyuan couldn't help frowning when he heard the words of these people, "If you have enough to eat, go back to sleep quickly, I don't know what day it will be tomorrow, if the weather is good, we have to work early, if it snows, let's rest for a while." Well, I'm not tired, so let's do whatever I have to do. ”

When everyone heard this, they quickly stood up and hurried back to the house to sleep.

Yun Zhen waited for these people to leave, and cleaned up the house again. Brush all the pots, then make a piece of ginger and chop it, and stew the ginger soup in the stove pit. "Jinxiu, do you have brown sugar here? I stewed ginger soup for you, and you have to put some brown sugar. Yun Zhen asked as he entered the room.

Jinxiu was still feeling awkward because of the words of those people just now, her impression of Yun Zhen was indeed very good, and gradually she felt that she always thought about Yun Zhen. But as soon as these people said it today, she couldn't erase it. As soon as he saw Yun Zhen come in, his face flushed. "Here, here you go." Jinxiu took out a packet of brown sugar from the shelf and handed it to Yun Zhen.

Yun Zhen went out with the brown sugar, opened the paper bag, and put some brown sugar into the ginger soup. Then he wrapped the brown sugar again and went back to the house to hand it to Jinxiu. "I'll go get you a rock, and you can find an old garment for me." There is not so much cloth in the mountains, and old clothes can only be used.

"I don't have old clothes here, when I go up the mountain, it's all new clothes made for me by Sister Yunxue." Jinxiu said a little embarrassed. Her clothes, except for the new clothes made by Yun Xue, which Qian Mingyuan bought later, are also new clothes.

Yun Zhen slapped his forehead, "Look at me, wait a minute, I'll go get my clothes." So saying, he went out. After a while, Yun Zhen came back again, holding an old piece of his own clothes in his hand, so that the splendid embroidery was washed clean, just to wrap the stones.

Yun Zhen found a stone that was a little bigger than his palm by the stove pit, which was used to boil water under the kettle, and the size was more appropriate. There was a stove pit that had been extinguished, and there were only sporadic coals in it, so Yun Zhen buried the stone in the stove pit. It happened that the ginger soup here was also ready, so he hurriedly brought it down and sent it to the house for Jinxiu to drink.

Jinxiu drank ginger soup in small sips, and the warm ginger soup went down to the stomach, and I felt a lot more comfortable on my body. "Yun Zhen, thank you." Jinxiu was moved a little in her heart, and felt that this boy was really considerate.

"Thank you, I'm a man, I should take care of you." Yun Zhenhan said with a smile. "You've drunk it all, so that your body is warm, and I'll go and bring you the stones." Yun Zhen estimated that the stone should be hot at this time, so he hurried out and pulled the stone out of the stove pit, and sure enough, it was already very hot. He pulled the stone twice with a stick to roll off the ashes on it, and then Yun Zhen wrapped the stone layer by layer with old clothes. He stretched out his hand and tried it, feeling a little hot, it should be just right, so he took it into the house.

"Then, put it on your stomach, it's not hot, it's fine." Yun Zhen handed the stone to Jinxiu.

Jinxiu took the stone and put it on her little belly, the heat penetrated her clothes, and Jinxiu felt that her stomach was hot, and it was indeed much more comfortable. "Well, it's really easy to use." She was smiling happily.

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with you here, I'll go first. You come down and plug the door, and don't open it at night. I'm outside on top of you with a stick, so that the wind won't be too strong, and the door will always ring. Yun Zhen saw that there was nothing wrong with Jinxiu, so he instructed Jinxiu a few words again, and then went out and used two thick logs to block the door from the outside.

Jinxiu went to the ground, plugged the bolt from the door, and then scooped some hot water to scald his feet. I changed the menstrual belt on my body again, and then I hugged the hot stone and lay down in the quilt to sleep.

Outside, the cold wind howled, and the wind blew through the trees, making a strange noise. In the whole mountain field, except for the whirring wind, there was no other sound, and the people who had worked all day were sleeping soundly.

At the same time, in the Han family of Shidaogou, the children were gathered around the stove and were baking sweet potato slices. The sweet potato slices, which are slightly thinner than chopsticks, are roasted on the stove and browned on both sides, giving off a sweet aroma.

Xiao Yunxia was obviously sleepy in order to eat this, but she kept persevering. As soon as she saw Yun Xue take down the sweet potato slices, she quickly reached out and asked for them. "Big sister, big sister, mine." Now I am not sleepy, my spirit is all up, and I will reach out to take it.

"It's too hot, don't worry, the eldest sister will hold it for you, and you eat it slowly." Yun Xue was afraid of burning her sister, so she took the sweet potato slices in her hand, and then let Yun Xia bite and eat them like this. "Yunlei, you can bake it yourself, there are still a few slices on it that should be cooked, and you can get some of the rest." Yun Xue turned her head towards Yun Lei and said.

"Okay, eldest sister, you don't have to worry about it, we can do this ourselves." Yun Ting waved his hand and put aside all the ripe ones. It is not enough for Yunxia to eat one piece, she should be able to eat one or two slices, and the rest will be given to Yunlei. Then Yun Ting continued to put the sweet potato slices on the stove, and the fire in the stove was burning very strongly, and in a short time the bottom side was almost baked. Yun Ting quickly flipped over and turned the other side down.

Yunxia quickly ate a slice, she was not satisfied, "Yet, more." The little one shouted.

Yun Xue hurriedly took another slice, this time it was not so hot, so she stuffed it directly into Yun Xia's hand and let her eat it herself.

The sweet potato slices on the stove were baked after a while, and the big guys had one slice each, and the food was very sweet. "This is also very delicious, especially the two-sided one that is about to be paste, and it tastes the most delicious." Yun Lei said while eating.

"Yes, yes, Yun Lei is right, this smell is fragrant." Cloud Thunder echoed.

"I love to eat and I'll get it tomorrow, and I have sweet potatoes at home. Now that the weather is cold, we have to burn a lot of fire every day, and we can burn it when we want to eat, and it is not something that we can't afford to eat. Yun Xue looked at the sweet food of her younger siblings and smiled very contentedly.

Everyone ate some, and Yun Xue didn't allow them to go to bed as soon as they finished eating, so everyone ran to the east house kang and laughed and laughed.

Suddenly, there was some strange noise outside, not like the wind, "It seems that Xiao Huang is back, right?" It's been a few days since this guy ran away. Yun Xue was quite familiar with this voice, and it was obvious that the tiger in the family had come back and was jumping down from the wall.

Tianfu and Yun Ting hurriedly went out and opened the door of the outhouse, "Eldest sister, it's not just Xiao Huang, but also Big Yellow leading Jiaojiao and Zhuangzhuang. Yun Ting shouted excitedly.

Rhubarb went out with Jiaojiao and Zhuang Zhuang a while ago, and he didn't come back for a long time, Yun Xue was still worried, but he didn't expect to come back with Xiao Huang tonight. Four tigers came in from outside, Yun Xue carefully looked at the four big guys, Jiaojiao and Zhuang are not small now, they can be half the size of rhubarb.

As soon as Xiao Yunxia saw Rhubarb, she shouted excitedly, "Nurse, nurse." Strangely, she hadn't forgotten the rhubarb, and it was easy to tell which of the four tigers was rhubarb. Yunxia came down directly from the kang and hugged Rhubarb's neck without letting go.
