76. It's time to go
After dinner, Shen Yuchen took out the things he bought for Lin Qingmiao and the child at the supply and marketing cooperatives in the afternoon, two pieces of pure cotton cloth, brown sugar, red dates, and walnuts, all of which were good things for pregnant women. Lin Qingmiao accepted it all without politeness.
Shen Yuchen stayed at Yang Xiangbei's house that night, he slept with Yang Xiangbei in the West House, and Lin Qingmiao and Yang Xiaoxiao slept in the East House with the little girl. At about eleven o'clock in the middle of the night, Yang Xiangbei and Shen Yuchen went to the hut next to the cowshed with the things they had prepared.
Seeing the two of them coming together, several people in the cowshed warmly welcomed the two into the house. As soon as he entered the house, Shen Yuchen wanted to take out the things he bought, but was stopped by Shen Kuo, "Don't take it, these things you bought are too new, and we don't dare to use them when we take them out." If those who visit find out that we have everything here, not only will we be unlucky, but the village chief and party secretary will also be unlucky. You can take these with you,"
Shen Yuchen slapped his forehead in annoyance, "I forgot, I just thought that it was inconvenient for you to go out to buy things, so I bought them for you," after thinking about it, he said: "Dad, you can keep it later, and I can't take away the things that can't be left, so I'll send them to Brother Yang's house later." ”
Yang Xiangbei nodded helplessly: "Well, for the time being, it can only be like this." So Shen Kuo poured out all the things in the basket and picked them up, leaving two candles, two boxes of matches, and some of the various spices, and a total of five catties of rice and noodles fell on the beams, and they didn't dare to keep the other things, so they put them back in the basket.
After picking up the things, Yang Xiangbei and Shen Yuchen took out the vegetables and meat that Lin Qingmiao had specially set aside. After the meal was laid out here, Yang Xiangbei hid out, one was to give them the wind at the door, and in a difficult meal of meat must wake up the child, the adult was fortunate to be able to control his mouth and not talk nonsense, he was afraid that the child would go out and talk nonsense, in order to protect himself and his family, Yang Xiangbei had as little contact with these people as possible, and Shen Yuchen was not afraid, the child went out and said that he met his father, Shen Kuo They can also be said to be children dreaming, eating delicious food in their dreams, and seeing their fathers in their dreams, which is also reasonable.
The food brought over can't be kept until the day, and it has to be eaten at night, and even the chicken bones have to be cleaned up, so Shen Kuo also called up the two children who were still sleeping, blocked the window with a straw curtain, and then the candlelight and a few people chatted while eating, Shen Jue finally saw his father, who refused to come down in Shen Yuchen's arms, and Shen Yuchen fed everything he ate one bite at a time.
Yang Xiangbei and Shen Yuchen got up to go home at one o'clock, and little Shen Jue had already slept sleepily in Shen Yuchen's arms, otherwise he would probably be crying. The next morning, Shen Jue got up and looked for his father everywhere, Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen coaxed him to say that he had a dream last night, his parents were at work, and there was no time to come to see him, little Shen Jue was disappointed, until Song Mingkai came back from helping Grandpa Song feed the pigs, and pulled him out to play, and Shen Jue forgot about his father as soon as he played.
On the third day of coming to Yangshu Village, it was just in time for Yang to rest to the north. After breakfast, Yang Xiangbei took Shen Yuchen to walk around the village, and introduced him to the people in the village, so that he also had a general understanding of the whole village. just avoided the range of activities of Shen Kuo and others, so as not to be seen by the children and cause trouble.
After a brief walk around the village, Yang Xiangbei took Shen Yuchen up the mountain, and Shen Yuchen will return to the army early tomorrow morning, he wants to take advantage of the time to hunt more prey for his parents and son to replenish their bodies.
Although Dr. Song and the others have Yang Xiangbei's help, but for the sake of safety, Yang Xiangbei didn't dare to do too much, so several people usually eat bran vegetables, especially now that a few have just arrived, there are no vegetables in the yard, and now the vegetables they eat during the day are all wild vegetables dug by Song Minglei and Shen Jue.
In the evening, the two took two pheasants, a wild duck, and three rabbits down from the mountain, and Yang Xiangbei also picked a small basket of mushrooms, and the pheasants stewed by Lin Qingmiao for dinner, and the soup cooked with fresh mushrooms. The wild duck was also stewed, but they didn't eat it, this was prepared for a few people over there in the cowshed, and Shen Yuchen would definitely go over tonight.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, Yang Xiangbei and the two went to the hut next to the cowshed on time, this time Yang Xiangbei didn't go in and stood in the woods next to the cowshed to pay attention to the surrounding situation, Shen Yuchen came to say goodbye this time, he didn't know when he would come next time, so tonight he not only brought food but also a little wine, Doctor Song and Song Minglei got off the table when they were full, and came out to hide in the woods, leaving a space for the family to talk.
It's just that not long after they came out, they were called back by Shen's father, and the grandfather and grandson didn't say much when they entered the house, they closed the curtain and slept on the kang, so as not to disturb the reunion of the Shen family.
Because Shen Yuchen had to get up early to catch the car, Shen's father and Shen's mother asked Shen Yuchen to go back to rest early after explaining what should be explained. Shen Yuchen wanted to stay a little longer, but the old couple said that they hadn't rested well in the past few days since he came, let him leave early and don't disturb their rest, there was no way Shen Yuchen could only leave.
Early the next morning, Lin Qingmiao and Yang Xiaoxiao got up to cook, and by the way, they prepared the things that Shen Yuchen wanted to eat in the car in the past few days, and the most convenient dry food to save was cakes, so Yang Xiaoxiao got up and began to cook cakes, and he had to give two jars of pickles and boiled 10 eggs. Lin Qingmiao also took 5 packets of instant noodles wrapped in oiled paper. The eating method has already been demonstrated to Shen Yuchen. Shen Yuchen was busy packing his luggage. The cake was quickly baked, and Yang Xiaoxiao wrapped the cake with the white cloth that Lin Qingmiao had prepared for her in advance and gave it to Shen Yuchen for him to put away.
Lin Qingmiao and Yang Xiangbei got up early in the morning and started to make dumplings, northerners have a saying about getting on the car and getting off the car, Yang Xiaoxiao joined the dumpling team after baking the cakes, and the three of them quickly wrapped the dumplings and cooked them in the pot. Soon the dumplings were cooked.
After breakfast, Yang rode north on a tricycle to take him to the town's train station.
On this trip to the north, Yang Xiangbei's family helped him too much, Shen Yuchen didn't know how to express it, and held back his tears to pack all the things that Lin Qingmiao had prepared for him, he knew that it was not easy for Lin Qingmiao to prepare these things for a pregnant woman, and he couldn't live up to the hearts of others. He decided that Yang Xiangbei and Lin Qingmiao would be his brother and sister-in-law in this life, and if there was time, he would treat these two people sincerely.
Before leaving, Shen Yuchen took advantage of Yang Xiangbei's absence in the house to secretly put a dozen pieces of money in the quilt, there were three hundred yuan, last night he wanted to keep some of the money for his parents, but the two old men said that it was useless to give them, and they couldn't go shopping, so in the end he only kept thirty yuan.
Originally, he wanted to leave Yang Xiangbei a hundred, but now his parents confiscated the money, and thinking of Yang Xiangbei's help to their family, he left all the money to Yang Xiangbei. He only had fifty dollars left on him, enough for him to return to the army.
