Civilian Edition Traveling Farming Diary

The weather is fine today, the sun is so hot that people can't keep their eyes open, and the little embarrassment with Chen Xiang disappeared after a night of sleep. He still wakes up to cook in the morning. Today he made rice porridge, boiled eggs, and scooped up some more. A small plate of pickles, I ate a simple breakfast with gusto, I really like such a simple life.

In the afternoon Liu Xi ran over and said that a newcomer lived in the small broken house at the head of the village. This was probably the most interesting news in the whole winter. I am not a gossip person. Become a gossip.

I asked: "Who lives here? Tall, short, fat, thin, round, flat, male, female, or little brother?"

Liu Xi said with a smile: "A man and a woman, said to be brothers and sisters, came here last night, just greeted the village chief today, let's live there first."

I said, "There's nothing in that shabby house, and it's snowed heavily in the past two days. What do they eat and burn?"

Liu Xi shook his head: "Who knows, but fortunately, you made up the pot before that, otherwise they wouldn't even be able to cook rice today."

I remembered my two pennies again.

I urged Liu Xi to visit again, and Liu Xi ran out for a while, and came back and said that the man was very tall and strong, and the girl was small and looked weak, but when she raised her eyebrows and stared, she looked like It's amazing.

I asked him, "How do you know that she raised eyebrows at you?"

He chuckled and said, "I was caught peeping, and she beat me up. It's really pungent."

Me: "..." Liu Dong and Liu Xi are brothers, why does Liu Dong look stable and reliable, but Liu Xi is always silly?

Liu Xi also said that the tall and strong man seemed to be able to hunt, and he had somehow put a rabbit under the window, because the rabbit looked fat in winter but was actually full of hair, one rabbit probably wasn't enough for the two of them to eat.

I think this man is tall and strong, so he shouldn't die of freezing and starving to death. I thought about whether I should send some relief, but Liu Xi said that would not work, what if he was a bad person?

Okay, this kid is not stupid sometimes.

During lunch, I wentssiped with Chen Xiang. Chen Xiang said that this kind of thing happened with them before, especially in winter, when there were more refugees. These years have been peaceful, and the situation is better.

I said that I would not be considered a newcomer in this way, and hoped that those people in the village would stop staring at me and gossip. Chen Xiang smiled and said that people don't necessarily have to live here, they might just settle here temporarily.

I think that's right, as refugees, it's really not certain where they go.

But it should be here to celebrate the New Year. Speaking of the New Year, I complained a little that the New Year here is too deserted, and I missed the time when my grandpa in the village steamed rice cakes when I was a child. Chen Xiang said that he would do it too.

I hurriedly asked him to make it. He smiled and said that there was no glutinous rice at home, so he couldn’t make it, but he could make rice cakes. Although they were not as sticky as rice cakes, they were as white and tender as rice cakes.

I am so hungry, but there is no sugar at home, I have to be hungry for two days, the old Dou who sells groceries only comes once a month or so, and it is estimated that it will take another two days to come, I hope he will bring some sugar by then.

My inner garment is finished, and I have to say that Chen Xiang's hands and feet are really nimble, with such fine stitches, one stitch at a time, I feel that I have to sew until I am blind.

When he handed me the inner coat, it was still warm, presumably it had been dried on the kang, I went back to the house and tried it on, and it fit well, was soft and warm.
