Walking and stopping all the way, when Xu Huaiyi returned home with a sack and a basket, he was tired and sweaty, and his legs were as if he was not alone.

This time, in order to do enough work on the surface, he didn't cut corners at all, and really carried seventy or eighty pounds of things, and held on for more than an hour.

Gu Huan was overjoyed to see it, and couldn't help but count, "Are you stupid?" The back is so heavy, and the shoulder doesn't hurt anymore? Don't want a leg? There is no shortage in our family, and the ones you carried back before are enough to eat, so why suffer this sin again? ”

Xu Huaiyi spread out in the chair, poured a bowl of water, and relieved his breath before explaining in a low voice, "If I don't do this, how can I fool those villagers?" They are not stupid, when they see that we are not short of food on the road, they must wonder where they came from, I tossed it like this, isn't there a reasonable explanation? ”

Gu Huanxi said angrily, "Then you won't put things in the car on the road." ”

Xu Huaiyi sighed depressedly, "Don't you want to be me?" I can't! ”

"What do you mean?"

"Alas, your husband is so popular, too rare, several sticking to me and not letting go, can't shake off, can't get rid of it at all, I can't get out of their sight, how dare I put things in the car?"

Gu Huanxi stared at his proud and boastful face, rolled his eyes speechlessly, threw the cloth that helped him wipe his sweat, and urged, "Hurry up and take a bath, lie down and rest, and I'll do the rest of the work with Xiaoyu." ”

Xu Huaiyi didn't hold on anymore, went into the RV to clean up, ate and drank to replenish his strength, and then flashed out and hugged his daughter to lie on the kang and rest comfortably.

In the yard, Gu Xiaoyu was smashing the shell of the walnut with a stone, smashing it open and peeling off the green skin, and drying it in a sunny place.

Gu Huanxi joined in, the speed was fast, the mother and mother were busy with their work, and it was time to make dinner, at this point, there were still people carrying things in and out of the mountains, and they seemed to be tireless.

It wasn't until it got dark that he was forcibly stopped by Village Chief Xu, things are important, safety is more important, no matter how much food you eat, you have to have a life to enjoy.

But even if you don't go into the mountain, stay at home is not idle, walnuts have to be shelled, persimmons estimate that the people at home do not go to the back of their hands, so they go to the town to sell, every family tossed for most of the night before resting, but they can't sleep well, they are worried about going up the mountain tomorrow to pick a wave of things.

In the whole village, only the old house of the Xu family did not move, and even Xu Youtian's family temporarily put aside their suspicions, and awkwardly followed them into the mountains to get this cheap, but Xu Maoshan didn't let a son go out.

Xu Huairen didn't say nothing, "Dad, let's not go to our family, so it seems like we are isolated." ”

It's a terrible feeling, and it's full of all kinds of uneasiness and confusion.

Xu Maoshan's face had been ugly for a day, and he was holding back a nameless fire in his heart, and when the eldest son said this, it was counted, "Which of you can go, huh?" A few of you, you can't lift your hands and shoulders, you just go up the mountain with a cheeky face, can you carry it back? ”

Xu Huairen's face turned red when he was scolded, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, he couldn't do hard work, but wasn't that because he had been working as an accountant outside all these years? He didn't eat white rice idle, why did he still work him?

The second and fifth children who really eat white rice in the family are clearly the second and fifth, but these two people, one is cunning and sweet-mouthed, and the other pretends to be able to read, and the two old ones are fooled, and they never see their problems.

But he was no longer willing to be uncomfortable, and he didn't dare to be tough with his father, so he could only admit his mistakes.

Xu Huaili proposed, "Do you want to let the fourth child go?" ”

Xu Huailian made a wooden face and said in a deep voice, "I can go into the mountains, but I'm going hunting, and I can't mix with those people." ”

Doesn't he want to lose face?

When Xu Huaili heard this, he said with a smile, "That's okay, if you can hit pheasants and rabbits or something, isn't it better than those rotten persimmons and walnuts?" I don't even have to work hard to be a snack for that thing, and I rob those who haven't seen the world as treasures, and they are all unproductive, and they deserve not to make a fortune in this life......"

He was still smiling at first, talking and talking, and then scolded, his expression was gloomy, and his face was hideous, since he was beaten with twenty boards, he resented everyone, and no one was pleasing to the eye, and his whole body was full of anger, and everyone in the family began to avoid him.

Xu Maoshan glanced at him and sighed heavily, how did their family come to this step?

It seems to have started with the change of the third child......

Xu Huaiyi didn't know that he was pondered by his father again, after dinner, he went to bed early, and he had to fool around again tomorrow, how could he do it without recuperation?

The next day, after he got up after resting enough, he was a good man in good spirits again.

But the others, just holding on, they all carried at least two trips yesterday, their shoulders and legs were sore, and they almost couldn't get up in the morning.

Therefore, this time into the mountain, there are more half-grown children, and strong women, they can't carry too heavy things, thirty or fifty pounds can still cope, and today, the woolly chestnuts can be picked up by women and children, and the work is effortless.

Gu Xiaoyu said that he wanted to follow and take a hand, and Xu Huaiyi also agreed.

Gu Huanxi didn't go, but she wasn't idle, she made a day's pot cakes at home, and the food she bought before had already made Xu Huaiyi grind into powder, she made good noodles according to the proportion, and pressed and kneaded them with a stick until the dough was smooth and hard, and then rolled it into a thick cake, put it on the aozi and cook it on a little bit of kang over low heat.

The pot cake made in this way has less water content, is easy to carry, can be put for more than half a month without being bad, suitable for long-distance road as dry food, and is particularly anti-hunger.

Moreover, the taste is not bad, the outer layer is burnt yellow and crispy, the inside is white and soft, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is, she also added puff pastry and pepper and salt to make the taste richer and layered, if you touch another layer of meat sauce, it will be perfect.

She worked so hard that she even used the oven in the car, and she made ten pots of cakes, but each one was the size of a basin, enough for the family to eat several meals.

During this period, Xu Huaiyi came back and carried a sack of chestnuts, this time he finally seized the opportunity to be lazy, avoided those people, put things in the car, and quietly took them out when he was about to go out of the mountain.

After that, he carried pears again, this time with Gu Xiaoyu, he couldn't be opportunistic, he really sold his strength, and when he got home, he was paralyzed from exhaustion.

Gu Xiaoyu was also tired enough, and both of them couldn't hold things in their arms.

Gu Huanxi had already prepared hot water, and after washing up with the two of them, the dinner was made by one person, but he also managed four dishes and one soup, and also made a few simple versions of moon cakes.
