Traveling through the 1970s

Chapter 34 Going up the mountain 2

On the way, I met some children from the village, said hello and walked down the mountain. Next to the cowshed, I put two mud balls on the small wall and walked home with the basket on my back.

Old Man Cheng saw it, and as soon as Xiao Xiao left, he hurried over and took the still warm mud balls back to the cowshed. Xiao Xiao would not send such a useless thing, so he happily took it back to the house and put the two mud balls away. It's not that he didn't want to eat it now, but it was daylight now, and he was afraid that the fragrance would attract others and cause unnecessary trouble. To be safe, he decided to wait until dark. And since Old Man Yan was not here, there were two! They could eat enough tonight.

When she returned home, Han Yunyao and Zhou Yan were already at home. Seeing her sister carrying a small basket, she hurried forward to take the basket from Xiaoxiao's back. It was a routine for Xiaoxiao to gain something whenever she went up the mountain. She saw two mud balls and snails, a small fish basket, wild vegetables and herbs, so she hurriedly put the things down.

"Sister-in-law, Xiaoxiao caught some small fish. There's a big bowl of them! Let's make fish sauce." It takes two days to raise the snails, and you can squeeze the small fish and cook them.

"I know." Zhou Yan answered from the kitchen.

Han Yunyao sent Han Yunya to wash her face, and began to clean the fish, putting two mud balls on the side, ready to eat them later, they had done this before. "Xiaoxiao went up the mountain, it's going to rain today, don't go down the river." He looked at the gloomy sky.

"Sister, I understand. Are mom and the others not back yet?" She asked after washing her hands. It's time to get off work!

Looking up, I saw my family and the figure. "I'm back, go change your clothes and come out for dinner." Han Yunyao said with a smile.

Han Yunya nodded and went back to the house to change clothes, while the Han family members also came back and were washing up and preparing to eat.

As soon as the food was served, they saw a plate of chicken. Han Jinglin and the others realized that Xiao Xiao had gone up the mountain. This method of cooking was taught by Han Yunyang. There was also a plate of fish sauce on the table.

"Xiaoxiao went to catch some small fish this afternoon."

"Dad, I caught them in the creek in the mountain valley." He smiled and sat down next to his mother and sister. The cornmeal pot stickers had a crispy brown crust and looked very appetizing.

"Comrade Cheng, Comrade Du, let's eat!" He picked up a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth. It was so delicious! He saw his wife pick up two chicken wings and put them in a small bowl, and he smiled happily.

"Uncle Han, this is such a rich meal." Du Weijun smiled and picked up his chopsticks to start eating.

"Haha..., eat! Eat more." Han Jinglin said with a smile.

Cheng Jinhan saw that in Xiaoxiao's bowl, in addition to two chicken wings, there was also a small piece of pot stickers. Thinking of eating dumplings at noon, Xiaoxiao only ate seven or eight dumplings and then stopped. The Han family was used to it. This was too little! Seeing her slender and weak figure, Cheng Jinhan frowned and lowered his head to start eating.

In the afternoon, Li Qiaoqiao, who came with him, came to find Du Weijun in the field. She wanted to ask Du Weijun that she also wanted to move to the Han family. After seeing the Han family's house, she looked at the educated youth site and didn't want to live there for a day. It was hot, crowded, and smelled bad, so she found Du Weijun and wanted him to talk to the Han family.

Du Weijun asked Cheng Jinhan and got the answer that if he didn't want to leave, he should just live there quietly and not think too much. Du Weijun didn't dare to mention it again.

After the two returned to the house, Han Yunyang and Han Jinglin took a break in the yard.

"Dad, Xiaoxiao eats a lot more now than before. It seems that Xiaoxiao is getting better soon." Han Yunyang said happily when he thought of how Xiaoxiao ate half an extra pot sticker at dinner.

"Well, it's better to eat more. The medicine this time is effective, and Xiaoxiao will be well soon." Han Jinglin was also happy. Xiaoxiao's poor health has always been a concern for him.

"If you don't eat more, you'll be as thin as a pole." Han Yunyao said with a smile. She had some sugar water with Lingquan in her hand. She decided to increase the amount of Lingquan in the next few days so that Xiaoxiao could get better faster. The confident, cheerful and beautiful Xiaoxiao was even more lovable and walked towards her sister's room.

"Take good care of Xiaoxiao these days." Han Jinglin said. He was very happy that Xiaoxiao had recovered so well. He thought about how many people said that Xiaoxiao could not be raised, even the county doctor said that he could not be raised, but his Xiaoxiao grew up and was still alive and well.

"I know. My mother and Yunyao will not let Xiaoxiao down. The same goes for Yanzi." Han Yunyang smiled and said that his mother and sister understood themselves, and the same went for his wife. Then the father and son walked out of the house together.

Cheng Jinhan thought about Han Yunya's appetite. Her family was already so happy. How little did she eat before?

"Comrade Cheng, is Comrade Du here?" Li Qiaoqiao pulled Song Keyan up the hill and shouted loudly at the door, followed by the two male educated youth who came with them this time.

"Who is it? Here they are." Du Weijun opened the door and saw that it was a comrade from the educated youth point.

"It's you! Come in." He invited with a smile and glanced at the main house. He only saw a figure flashing through the main room and invited the four people into the wing room where they lived.

As soon as Yu Wenping and Wang Guomin entered the yard, they looked around. The yard was spacious and clean, and various vegetables were planted in the small garden.

As soon as I entered the room, I felt even more sad. Yu Wenping lived in a youth settlement, and you can imagine the living conditions there. Wang Guomin lived in Tian Daniu's house at the east end of the village. Although he also lived alone, his room was small, dark, low, and dirty, which was incomparable to this place.

They also heard that the Han family's house was built less than a month ago, which made them feel even more unbalanced. Why did they live so well?

Han Yunya saw it from the window, but she didn't want to go out. She really didn't want so many outsiders coming in and out of her house.

In less than two minutes, Cheng Jinhan and Du Weijun took the four people out of the door. Han Yunyao saw it and just frowned.

"Xiaoxiao, I told my parents what you said this morning. Mom said it's possible. I told you to be careful with Tian Lili. She has been comparing herself with you in everything since she was young. She said a lot of bad things about you when she came back this time." She got angry when she thought about how Tian Lili had intentionally or unintentionally shown her courtesy to Cheng Jinhan in the afternoon and had been constantly ruining Xiaoxiao's reputation.

"I will be careful about her. By the way, Brother Lu San and Brother Li have warned her." Thinking of how they were beaten last time, Han Yunya couldn't help laughing, her eyes narrowed.

When she saw Xiaoxiao's smile, which was like a little fox that stole a chicken, only when she did something bad, she knew that Xiaoxiao must have done something "good", and Han Yunyao also wanted to know.

"Xiaoxiao, did you do something?" he asked.

She covered her little mouth and laughed so hard.

"When I was talking to Aunt Yan and Aunt Liu, I accidentally let slip that Third Brother Lu and Big Brother Li had a fight. The two aunts were fine at the time, but the next day they limped to school and came to settle the score with me. I had no choice but to cook delicious food for them for three days before they calmed down."

Han Yunyao's mouth twitched. Xiaoxiao must have been upset by those two guys. "Xiaoxiao, did you do that on purpose?" Although it was a question, her eyes were very sure.

Looking at Xiaoxiao's guilty look, one could tell at a glance that she said that on purpose for Aunt Yan and Aunt Liu to hear, like a kitten that stole some fish.

He rolled his eyes, smiled and said, "Gu Jiangzhou wrote a letter to me, and they saw it. He said that Gu Jiangzhou is their brother-in-law and they need to report my performance in school to him, so hehe..." Han Yunya touched her nose embarrassedly.

Shaking his head, he felt helpless. Those two guys were pretty nice. They really treated Xiaoxiao like a sister. He understood how lucky Xiaoxiao was.

I had been there many times to deliver vegetables and wild animals, and I found that the two families were not so easy to approach, but Xiaoxiao had the ability to do so, and it was easy to get closer to them.
