There is a mountain in her arms

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and Jiang Yichen got up early in the morning and played the military sports academy in the yard.

Grandpa Jiang held An An in his arms and sat on the threshold of the main hall, looking relieved. Grandma Jiang was busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen. The family was warm and harmonious, and the old couple seemed to be slowly recovering from their pain.

When Jiang Yicheng first practiced military boxing, the old couple were afraid that she would hurt herself, so they stood by her nervously. Later, they saw that she was doing well in the practice and heard that it could improve her health, so they decided not to stop her.

It is almost December now, and the temperature outside is almost below zero, especially in the morning and evening. There is not much work in the fields, so the old couple worked for a few days and then stopped, concentrating on staying at home with them.

As soon as Jiang Yichen finished his exercise, Grandma Jiang came out of the kitchen with a thermos bottle, walking very fast on her tiny feet.

"Chengcheng, wash yourself with hot water quickly to avoid catching a cold. It's so cold, I think you should stop practicing every day. Wait until next spring when it's warmer."

"Grandma, it's okay! Look, I'm sweating all over. I'm in good health!"

Jiang Yichen felt warm inside. This kind of constant care and concern was something she had never experienced before.

"Okay then! Go in and change your clothes. Breakfast will be ready soon."

Grandma Jiang stopped trying to persuade them. After spending the past few days together, she already knew that her granddaughter was also a person with a plan in mind. Although they had never been together before and always knew about their news through phone calls and letters, it did not prevent her from liking them in her heart.

After breakfast, thinking that her grandson’s milk powder was running out and that it might snow soon, Grandma Jiang prepared to go to the supply and marketing cooperative in town to buy a few cans of milk powder.

Seeing their grandson, who is only half a month old and has grown up a little, the old couple are so happy that their hearts are melting. They gritted their teeth and prepared to let him drink milk powder until he is eight months old before adding complementary foods.

You have to know that these days, not every child grows up eating milk powder like An An.

Jiang Yichen was not reluctant to spend the milk powder, but it was just that it was hard to buy.

In this era, you need tickets to buy everything. Food coupons, oil coupons, meat coupons, sugar coupons, and cloth coupons are relatively easy to get, but bicycle coupons, sewing machine coupons, and milk powder coupons are extremely difficult to get. Even industrial coupons are easier to get than these.

"My dear, I heard that the supply and marketing cooperative has a limited supply of milk powder. An An is going to eat more and more. What will we do with his food? The Chinese New Year is only a month away. The roads are slippery in the snow. I'm afraid it will be difficult to walk on them. I'm afraid the supply and marketing cooperative won't have all the goods at the beginning of the year."

"Go to big brother's house later and ask. Isn't Yanhong also in the supply and marketing cooperative? She should have a way. If that doesn't work, ask Weiguo. He's the team leader and should have connections. Take Chengcheng to the town to buy more cloth and cotton. I think the padded jacket she's wearing is a bit thin. It won't last in our mountain village. Make a thick cotton jacket for An'an for the New Year. As for the other things, you can sort out what's missing and buy them back."

Grandpa Jiang looked at the clothes exposed from his granddaughter's sleeves and whispered to his sleepy, plump grandson.

"Okay, I'll go ask right away. This matter can't be delayed." Grandma Jiang was in a hurry to collect the bowls and leave. She didn't notice that Jiang Yichen was hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong? Chengcheng!" It was Grandpa Jiang who saw her and asked her in confusion.

"Grandpa, can I go out with grandma? I just want to see what's going on in the village. I haven't been out since I came here!" Jiang Yichen looked at her grandfather with her watery eyes, which made Grandpa Jiang's heart soften.

"Of course you can, but our family is in a special situation right now, so we can't visit other people's homes."

"Grandpa, I don't want to visit people, I just want to take a look around the village."

"Okay, go put on some more clothes, and I'll ask your grandma to wait for you."

"Yeah! Thank you, Grandpa!"

Jiang Yicheng was so happy that she almost jumped up, but fortunately, her mature heart suppressed her emotions. Grandpa Jiang looked at her pretending to be calm, and he couldn't help but feel a little distressed for her.

Grandma Jiang led her towards the center of the village. She didn't understand why her family lived so far away from others. Even the nearest neighbor seemed to be more than ten meters away.

The structures of the houses in the entire Jiangcha Village seem to be similar. Most of them are I-shaped, and there is a large yard in front and back, where chickens can be fed in the front and vegetables can be grown in the back.

Grandpa Jiang lives in the middle of the village, not far from the entrance. His house is bigger than others, which means his family is better off than others.

At this time, the gate of Grandpa Jiang's house was half-closed. There were many children in the family, and they had already eaten breakfast. Grandma Jiang and her eldest daughter-in-law were sewing shoe soles.

"Mom, it seems like Second Aunt is calling you outside." Jiang Zhou whispered to her mother-in-law.

"Huh? Why doesn't she come in?" Grandma Jiang put down the needlework in her hands and muttered.

Jiang Zhoushi said nothing. She was always thoughtful and guessed what her second aunt was thinking. She secretly praised: her second aunt is really a considerate person. Even if she doesn't care, she should think more about her children.

"Sister-in-law!"

"Grandma!"

"Hey! Sister-in-law, Chengcheng, come in quickly!" Grandma Jiang wanted to welcome them in enthusiastically.

"No, that's not necessary. Sister-in-law, are my brother and Weiguo here?" Grandma Jiang refused to go in and just stood a few steps away from the door.

"Ah! They are not here. The weather is cold. Weiguo is afraid that the seedlings in the field will freeze, so he walks around the field every day. Your elder brother went out to chat with people on time. Sister-in-law, what do you want to talk to them about? I will ask the boy at home to find them and bring them back."

"It's not that urgent. I told you, can you help me convey it? You see, it's not a good idea for us to stay at your door for a long time in this situation."

"Nonsense! Sister-in-law, we don't believe this. What do you want to tell me?"

Grandma Jiang knew that her sister-in-law was straightforward, so she didn't beat around the bush and just stated her request directly.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry about this matter. I can do it for you without your elder brother and others. Just wait for my good news!"

"That's great, thank you, sister-in-law! Okay, you're busy, we'll leave first."

"Hey, wait a moment, I'll be out soon." Grandma Jiang looked at Chengcheng who had been quiet beside her, thought of something, and hurriedly ran into the house.

"Why did you bring Chengcheng out in such a cold day? Don't let her get frozen. I heard from your eldest brother that it's much colder here than in the army. Can she adapt to it in the next few days? Chengcheng, have some candy!" Grandma Jiang was preaching while putting a handful of White Rabbit milk candies into her pocket.

Jiang Yichen looked at Grandma Jiang helplessly, and only after seeing her nod did she accept it with a smile.

"Thank you, Grandma! I can adapt."

"Good boy! Really good boy! Look at his little appearance, he really looks like a fairy boy who walked out of a New Year picture."

"This child has never been out of the house since she came here. I'm going to take her out for a walk today. Sister-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you with that. Please go back! We're going back too. We've been out for a while. There's a little one at home!"

"Yeah! I've taken it to heart! The weather is getting colder, Chengcheng should stay outside less."

After the two of them said goodbye to Grandma Jiang, Grandma Jiang finally had the time to slowly tell her about the people in each household and introduce some of the situations in the village.

"Hey? Aunt Chun, is this your granddaughter? She's so beautiful!" When I was almost home, a young man with a baby face came towards me.

"Qiao Zhiqing! This is my granddaughter Chengcheng. What are you doing?"

"Isn't there nothing to do in the fields? I plan to go to the mountain to get more firewood, otherwise when the snow falls, there will be no firewood to burn this winter."

"Yes, yes, you are right. We need to prepare more firewood this year, so you go ahead and do your work. We are also going to the mountains to chop firewood in the next few days."

The two exchanged a few words and parted ways. Jiang Yichen watched him curiously as he walked up the mountain.

"Grandma, are there any educated youth here? Where do they live?"

"There! There! See it? It's just across the river from us, not far from the swamp."

Jiang Yichen looked into the distance and saw what seemed to be a large house over there.

Only now did she realize that there was a river about a hundred meters away from her home. She wondered if there were any fish in the river.

"Grandma, why do we live in such a remote place?" She couldn't help but ask.

"Because this is the land of our ancestral home, and also because it is quiet here! There will be less trouble."

Jiang Yichen had some idea because she had heard quarrels in other people's homes just as she was walking along the way.

It seems that there are still some bad stories in this village. Thinking of her space, she was suddenly glad that they lived far away. In the future, no matter what they did at home, no one would easily know.

Her grandparents are really wise!

When Jiang Yichen approached, she heard her grandparents discussing going up the mountain. Her eyes lit up, thinking that the opportunity had come.

"Grandpa, I'm going too!"

"No! You're too young. It's not safe in the mountains."

"Grandpa, I was playing near where you were chopping wood, and I'm quite skilled, you know. And I've never been to the mountains before, and I'm curious."

Jiang Yicheng looked at him eagerly, the light in her eyes scorching. Grandpa Jiang turned his eyes away from her, fearing that he would be soft-hearted.

"grandfather!"

"No! The mountain is too dangerous!"

"Grandma! My skills are really good. Other boys in the army may not be able to compare with me."

Jiang Yicheng shook her grandfather's arm with her left hand and pulled her grandmother's hand with her right hand. She felt a chill in her heart. She never thought that she would be so pretentious one day!

"My dear! Why don't you take her with you? I think her personality is exactly like her father's. She is also very opinionated! If one day she sneaks up the mountain when we are not paying attention, won't we be scared to death?"

"Okay then! But we agreed that you can't be too far away from me, otherwise you won't be able to go up the mountain again!"

"Uh-huh!"

Jiang Yichen nodded like a garlic, and Grandma Jiang tapped her forehead with her index finger.

"You! You are such a naughty boy!"

Seeing her innocent side, the old couple were also happy. No one wants their children to be too sensible!

Fearing that her clothes would be torn in the mountains, Grandma Jiang changed her clothes into a slightly older coarse cloth coat. She rolled up the sleeves and folded a finger in the middle of the back to sew it up so that it would not appear too loose.

Jiang Yichen was amazed to see his grandmother sew quickly and finish the work in just a few strokes.

"Grandma, you are really good at sewing!"

"That's right! When your grandmother was young, she was a famous embroiderer. She just stopped doing it for others later on, but her skills have not been lost."

Grandpa Jiang's face was filled with pride. Jiang Yichen quickly put it on and turned around.

"It won't hinder our movement at all. Grandpa, shall we go up the mountain now?"

"What's the hurry? You can go after lunch. It won't take too long. You may have to stay in the mountains for half a day in the afternoon. Besides, your grandfather still needs to sharpen his axe!"

Grandma Jiang grabbed her anxious granddaughter and scolded her unhappily.

"Haha! I'm just too curious. Grandma, go and cook. I'm going to see An An."

Jiang Yicheng felt a little embarrassed, so he went to the room to see An An under the pretext of going there. The old couple smiled at each other silently. With a child in the house, it seemed that things were getting more lively.

Jiang Yichen hurried back to the room and touched her cheek. How could she, a 28-year-old adult, seem to be going backwards?

Sometimes, these were actually her subconscious actions, and she couldn't seem to tell whether they were her original body's habitual movements or the way she wanted in her dreams.

But, how should I put it? Although she felt ashamed afterwards, it seemed that she was happy in her heart.

Listening to the sound of knife sharpening outside, Jiang Yicheng thought that they would not come in for a while. He closed the door gently and entered the space.

Shuangfeng Mountain is a mountain connected by a large mountain and a small mountain. From a distance, it looks like a camel's hump.

There are fruit trees in the front area of ​​the hill, and only the back area near the tree house is not trimmed for the sake of concealment.

Although there are no large animals in this area, there are still some small wild animals active.

In the past, they would make appointments to have a meal here in their spare time. Although life in the base was okay, they would occasionally want to change their taste.

As for the depths of the mountain, they had only been around the periphery before and had never gone inside.

I heard from Old Zhao that when the base was first built, they seemed to have driven all the big guys around here into the mountains, and they also laid electric fences around them to prevent them from running back.

Grid? Electricity? Is there electricity in here? She said she seemed to have forgotten something last time.

He quickly returned to the warehouse and saw that the freezer switch was indeed lit with a green light. Several incandescent headlights hanging overhead illuminated every corner of the warehouse.

Jiang Yichen turned off the lights and left the warehouse, looking at the deep mountains in the distance. When her skills have been improved to the same level as before, she will definitely go and explore. For now, she'd better just stay hidden!

Huh? No, it's winter outside, why is it like spring here? Is there any living thing on this mountain? She has to go and verify it.

She went to the back of the mountain with familiarity and carefully observed the animal footprints. This was taught to them by a retired scout instructor.

When she saw the moving rabbit, she felt excited.

He quickly held down its head, tied it up with two vines, and threw it into the sand pit on the open space of the base without caring about it.

Fortunately, she thought she would have one less income item.

If the four seasons were really like spring, then fruit trees would bear fruit continuously.

This space is really suitable for her at this age. She is so satisfied with it.

Feeling that the time was about right, she took a bite of a pear and came out.
