Unexpectedly, after meeting Ah Da, Ah Da did not have the indignation he imagined, but he was very indifferent, they sat together and explained their intentions, he still wanted to tell Ah Da that they did not mean to, they were always reluctant to say what was, in fact, at that time, they always had an idea, the young Ah Da was full of strength and spirit, he was the boss of their group, they were just little cubs who followed his ass and played with mud and bows, in their hearts Ah Da was omnipotent, and would not be stumped by anything, the more thisThe more they feel that they need to worry about their own business, where is their turn to worry.

They regretted it, and when they remembered it, they regretted it all the time, and they felt uncomfortable when they remembered it, which made them unable to face Ah Da for so many years, and they rarely dared to go up this mountain again.

They talked a lot, but in the end Ah Da just said that I know, he knows, he has thought about this matter countless times over the years, and of course he has clearly figured out the details of each thing.

He can't forgive, and he can't act as if nothing happened, either to these people or to himself.

At first, he hated these people, but after hating them for a long time, and thinking too much, he began to hate himself, and he couldn't figure out many things, just like he couldn't figure out why things had become like this, and he couldn't figure out why he would take it for granted that he only saved money for his daughter-in-law to ask for a stable wife, and he was pregnant for ten months, and he had so much time, and it was clear that this matter was so dangerous, and he didn't have more money for her, so he had a series of things that followed.

This is the knot in his heart all his life, he is sorry for his daughter-in-law, he does not want to forgive anyone, he does not want to untie it, he just wants to remember it for the rest of his life.

As for their son, he looked at the big man outside the house who was sawing wood: "Have you recently come down the mountain again to look for the little widow?" ”

Li Shoumai wiped the sweat on his head: "Dad, you don't like him?" Li Shoumai was trying to convince his father that he was so handsome and that he was so good that he might not be able to find such a beautiful brother in ten miles and eight towns, when he heard his father snort coldly.

"As for you, if you don't save enough money, see what you take to marry a daughter-in-law."

Li Shoumai was shocked, he was actually disgusted by his father for being poor, is this still his own father?

Lin Piao went down the mountain here, and the second dog father didn't speak all the way as if he had taken dumb medicine, and when everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain, when they approached the big banyan tree, they saw the lively people sitting together, and the atmosphere improved.

Recently, because the people of the Da Shen family have rarely gone out to sit under the big banyan tree, the second aunt of this land has begun to come diligently, she is sitting here, and there are many parents of children who are also here, talking about the Mid-Autumn Festival to hold a good meal, seeing how hard she has prepared, they are also greedy to hear, after all, they have tasted some of them, and their children come back and tell them what to eat today, how delicious it is, although they are not students, they also want to eat.

When the students came back, the students looked for their own mothers, and when they heard that they were still talking about this matter, they pouted and said that they wanted to have the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner of the sister-in-law and the second aunt's house with everyone.

In this way, the number of people preparing food for the Mid-Autumn Festival has risen directly to an astonishing number, and the wooden barrels that were originally still saving small fish are now stuffed with big fish.

Everyone prepared things to prepare things, put together the table and put together some vegetables, nets and fish, crabs and mushrooms, and put together all the things, usually too laborious things, now everyone is doing it together as happy as playing, and one person out of two copper plates, put together the pork money, and in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the aunts began to choose vegetables in the yard to kill chickens and rabbits, busy in and out of the lively really like a banquet.

The second aunt was sick at home, and she hadn't been well recently, not because she was so sick, because she was too lazy to go out and walk around and was embarrassed, and the other was that she didn't want to go out and saw the family where the children were going to Shen Hong's private school.

Yuling also stayed in her yard all day and didn't go out, and only when she came to serve her did the two of them talk and talk together.

Now that it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the second aunt began to think about Shen Bo who had gone out: "You said that my son didn't deliver a letter back this year, I don't know if I can see him in this Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

Yuling comforted: "Xianggong is busy reading, where is he still in a lively mood like Shen Hong, they all say that they are happy to read hard in the cold window, and they will be happy in the future, and there will be no shortage of this time and a half." ”

As soon as she said this, the second aunt suddenly became even more uncomfortable: "What is Shen Hong doing again?" He can't read anymore?! ”

Only then did Yuling realize that she had slipped her mouth, her concubine had recently come back from a walk outside, and she had told her about things outside, which made her, a person who was stuck at home, feel ruthless, and she couldn't hold it down with one mouth, and pulled the corners of her clothes to vent her hatred: "What else can it be, the Mid-Autumn Festival, it can be lively, so that all the students who go to private school with him will get together for dinner, and I heard that the chief has also been invited." ”

This kind of scenery should have belonged to her home.

The second aunt almost couldn't lie down when she heard these words, she was lying at home half-dead and couldn't see Shen Bo, they were living happily outside, and she didn't hear people boast about how good the food was over there Shen Hong.

The second aunt turned over and sat up: "Yuling, go burn the stove." ”

Yuling was taken aback by her: "Mother! What do you do with a stove?! ”

"Let's celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, let's eat too! Isn't it just waiting, now that it's autumn, and the exam will start as soon as spring next year, let's wait and see, see who is more promising, see who can survive whom! ”

The second aunt's condition was swept away, and she began to prepare stewed chicken.

Lin Piao's side had a simple meal at noon, and it was only in the afternoon that the main meal was served, and a few large tables were served.

After the banquet began, everyone stood up one after another, and it was Xie Lichang, Xie Shenhong, then Xie Linpiao, and Xie Er's aunt, and thanked them back and forth.

After the adults thanked the children, they were brought up to thank Shen Hong, but they had a good relationship with Shen Hong on weekdays, and they were not too restrained, but they talked a lot about it, learning to kill pigs for Mr. Shen to eat meat in the future, helping Mr. Shen to do things without charging money, and even marrying a daughter-in-law and filial piety to Mr. Shen in the future, which made the adults laugh.

Shen Hong sat on it and suffered, and he didn't panic when he looked at it, but his eyes were a little wandering when he said it was too outrageous, as if he was looking for the other party's parents in the crowd, and he felt a little like he wanted the parents to pull him down quickly.

Thank you, thank you, the witticisms that should be said are finished, everyone is full of wine and food, after eating, if there is something to do, go home to do things first, and if you have nothing to do, you will stay to clean up the dishes and chopsticks table, and when you clean up, everyone will sit together again, talk about the world together, talk about the child's future arrangements, say that he is looking forward to his good study, plan the future, plan the future, make an appointment with each other, and have opportunities to help each other after they have developed opportunities.

The most important thing is to wait for the moon, waiting to see the moon on the fifteenth together.

But it was still early, so Lin Piao returned to the house and uncovered another dish under the bamboo basket, which contained a portion of pickled pepper rabbit and fried pork with mushrooms, and the basket was fragrant with sesame oil.

The second dog father tasted the pickled pepper rabbit they made before, and he never tasted this taste when he ate the first mouthful, and his soul almost floated, and then he often thought about letting the second dog be smart and beat more rabbits, so that the second aunt could make it and then divide some out and keep it.

It was not that he kept it for himself, such a delicious thing, he thought in his heart, and it was inevitable that Ah Da had never eaten this thing, so he wanted to give Ah Da a taste, but he was afraid that Ah Da would not accept it, so Torin Piao helped him send it.

Lin Piao shouted at several children: "Who has the time and strength?" ”

Erzhu was the first to come out: "Little sister-in-law, I have a lot of strength. ”

"Then you, send this dish to Orion's house on the mountain, and say that we have agreed that the well water will not interfere with the river water, and in order to thank him, we will send him two Mid-Autumn Festival dishes to eat."

When Erzhu heard that it was Orion's family, he immediately made a bitter face, but he agreed that he could not say that he would not go, so he could only take the basket and go up the mountain honestly.

He wondered how the Orion could take care of them, but he promised his sister-in-law that he would do it, but if they didn't take it, he would eat it himself.

Erzhu thought very beautifully, who knew that when he arrived at Orion's house, he carried a basket and explained his intention, but Orion didn't say anything, but Li Shoumai asked him to put things on the table.

Erzhu could only put the things on the table, and after he left, Li Shoumai opened the curtain on it, and sniffed closely, and suddenly moved his index finger.

"Dad, it just so happens that the rice is still in the pot, so let's go two first."

Orion glanced at him, and then at the dishes on the table, Li Shoumai had already taken out the treasured small wine jug, opened it and poured a bowl of wine for each of them.

How long has it been since the two of them had a holiday feeling, Orion can't remember clearly, anyway, they eat meat when they want to eat meat, and they need clothes to find a place to tailor, never such a bells and whistles festival, usually even if it is a festival, the top day will stew a pheasant, these two dishes are finely made, unlike the two of them, just put a pot of stew, but have a serious feeling of passing through the festival.

After eating and drinking, I quickly got slightly drunk, thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and opened the door to watch the moon rise in the mountains and forests outside.

They were also looking at the moon at the foot of the mountain, the moon rose very slowly, but it was very round, and it was a little cold at night, so they added another layer of clothes to drape outside, and as the night deepened, there were fewer and fewer people sitting outside, and they all went home, and the second aunt saw that the time was almost up, and the noodles had already been kneaded, so that the two pillars burned the fire and began to prepare the pancakes.

"Piao'er, I was full of calculations today, thinking that the meat couldn't be fried so much, so I left a small piece down." The second aunt showed the meat to Lin Piao, and it was half the size of a palm, half fat and half thin, and it was enough to add some small wild onions and a few cakes.

The second aunt chopped the meat filling two or three times, pulled a piece of medicine on the dough, rolled it out and pressed it into the pot, and then pressed it two or three times, and a piece of cake was formed in the pot.

A small piece of minced meat, four cakes were baked, two were packed up and brought to Lin Piao and Shen Hong tomorrow, one was eaten by herself by herself in the morning, and the remaining one was just out of the pot, and the second aunt cut it into small pieces with a big knife, and everyone tasted it together.

The dough is hot, dry on the outside and oily on the inside, full of wheat aroma mixed with meat and wild onion aroma, although there is no yeast hair, the dough is also very chewy.

After eating the cake to make moon cakes, this Mid-Autumn Festival is completely over, everyone looked at the moon for a while, talked about the future, and the future is very slim, but finally there is hope, until the yawn for a day, everyone began to prepare to wash and sleep.

Lin Piao and Shen Hong returned to the courtyard, washed their faces and rinsed their mouths together, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.

"Shen Hong, call me if you get up early, let's not delay tomorrow's time."

"Okay, sister-in-law."

Early the next morning, when Lin Piao was woken up by a knock on the door, he opened the window to see that the sky was still gray and unbright.

Lin Piao rubbed his face, still stunned.

It was his mistake to ask Shen Hong to wake him up.

"Sister-in-law, get up."

Shen Hong saw him open the window, saw that he was untidy, and turned to the other side.

"It's up." Lin Piao had to get dressed and get up, and only came back after washing his face, and when he left, he thought of going shopping, and he was in a very good mood.

"Let's go collect supplies for the winter!"

The first step was to go to the chief's house to borrow an ox cart, which had already been said, and when they went, Zhou Xishan had already set up the ox cart and was waiting for them.

The morning air was cold, and the weeds beside the road were covered with morning dew.

The lieutenant asked Zhou Xishan to send them to the county government, and by the way, he also helped the neighbors bring some things back, but the main thing was to take care of Lin Piao and Shen Hong, after all, Shen Hong was still young, and Lin Piao was a brother, so the two of them went out like this, and it was not good to talk if there was no one with them.

Lin Piao took out the second aunt's cake last night and broke it and distributed it to Shen Hong and Zhou Xishan, eating and eating and began to feel sleepy, after all, the spirit is only temporary, dangling on the ox cart, the surrounding scenery is repeated monotony, either mountains or mountains, plus getting up too early, the cake has not finished eating and the sleepiness is dangling, Lin Piao is in a daze and holds the remaining one-third and gnaws.

"Sister-in-law, you sleep for a while, and I'll call you when it's time." Shen Hong's voice came from the side.

Lin Piao opened his eyes clearly and looked at Shen Hong: "It's okay, I'm not sleepy." ”

The sky was only a little brighter, and the light jumped from the other side of the mountain, and Shen Hong sat beside him in the misty outline, looking at him with a very calm look that saw through him.

"I'm not sleepy." Lin Piao's mouth is hard, how could he lie to the child, saying that if he is not sleepy, he is not sleepy.

Zhou Xishan, who was on the side, looked at him and said with a smile: "You can sleep, it's too early, and you won't have the energy to wait until you get to the county government." ”

Shen Hong also said: "When I get to the county government, there are still many things to do for my sister-in-law, and it takes a lot of energy to procure, so my sister-in-law should sleep for a while." ”

Lin Piao saw that they both said the same thing, and also got down the stairs, tilted his body and leaned against the frame, but he was so swayed that he could only sit up straight: "Lean on me." ”

Lin Piao stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Shen Hong's shoulders and leaned on him.

Shen Hong's hand holding the cake stiffened, and men and women were on guard and had to defend it.

But the sister-in-law doesn't seem to treat him as a man......

Shen Hong stiffened for a moment, and the bento happened nothing, and continued to eat the cake slowly.

Zhou Xishan, who was on the side, froze for a moment when he watched Lin Piao's movements, and opened his mouth to remind him, but thinking about it, he didn't think much about the two uncles and sisters-in-law, but they were used to relying on each other.

Chapter 36

When he was about to arrive at the gate of the county government, Zhou Xishan spoke first: "Wake up, wake up Lin Piao, it's time to go to the county government." ”

Lin Piao opened his eyes in a daze, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes to look ahead, the door of the county government was in front of him, and he could vaguely see the prosperous outline of the county government.

Lin Piao raised a little spirit, let go of Shen Hong beside him, raised his eyes and looked forward, his mood suddenly improved a lot, he brought a silver hairpin and a few small beads, waiting to be changed into clothes and food later, so that they could have a beautiful winter.

As soon as I entered the county hall, I was surrounded by the sound of bustling people on the streets, the sounds of hawkers all around, and people coming and going, doing business and running errands on the streets.

The people on all sides were doing business, glancing at them from time to time.

"Look at that brother."

"What? Do you like it? ”

"I look weird."

"Familiar?"

"And the kid next to him is also familiar, I want to think about it." Lao Liu had never seen Lin Piao and Shen Hong very much, and the last time they came to the county government, he had only seen them twice from afar, once when the county government was fighting the lawsuit, and once when they happened to be passing by on the street.

He was still wondering who this was, and the lady who was selling chaos next to her was already smiling, and the child on the side walked out of the stall: "Lin Piao! ”

Her voice was loud and full of energy, Lin Piao was called excited, turned his head and smiled at her: "I'm here." ”

"Coming to the county government again? What's wrong with the family? Or what's wrong with your brother-in-law? ”

"Look, auntie, you have to say, how can there always be something, the weather is going to be cold in autumn, and I will come to the county government to stock up on things for the winter."

The eldest lady's gaze went straight to Zhou Xishan on the side: "This boy is very kind, he came to send you specifically?" ”

"That designation can't be made, our eldest son, come to the county government to help the nearby villagers and neighbors stock up on something."

Lin Piao got into a routine with this group of acquaintances on the spot, and by the way, he inquired about where the clothes were cheap and good, and where the fabrics were colorful and beautiful, and then walked to the nearest tailor shop nearby.
