When Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu arrived outside the yard of Aunt Duan's house, Liu Hao and Zhang Fengzhi were knocking in the yard. Aunt Duan looked on with a smile, and the brazier in the yard was burning brightly.
"Brother, Xiuyu..."
Seeing Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu approaching, Liu Hao dropped the hammer in his hand and hurried over to open the door.
"What are you busy with?"
Lu Lu took a look at what Liu Hao was making. He was using wood nails to make a large rectangular frame, but he couldn't tell what it was used for.
"I'm going to nail a chicken coop to close the chickens on one side and the geese on the other!" Liu Hao said with a smile, "I've never done carpentry, and I've been tinkering with it for a long time, but I still feel it doesn't fit!"
Lu Lu glanced inside the yard. In the chicken pen fence, in addition to a group of big stupid chickens that were foraging for food in the snow and making the ground dirty, there were also a few geese.
The chicken that Aunt Duan raised last time was bitten by a yellow skin. Lu Lulai put a clamp and beat the yellow skin. However, in order to prevent these stupid chickens from being harmed by other yellow skins again, he really listened to Lu Lu and bought geese to raise.
Now, prepare to use goose to control yellow skin.
Guessing what Aunt Duan was thinking, and seeing that Liu Hao was really not good at making this thing, Lu Lu smiled and said: "When I was an educated youth on the farm, there were chickens raised in the employees' homes, and the cages they made were divided into upper and lower floors.
, chickens are raised on the upper floor, and geese are raised on the lower floor. There are big geese below, and Huang Pizi doesn’t dare to go up to the second floor to bite the stupid chickens. How about I do it for you?”
Hearing what Lu Lu said, Liu Hao suddenly became happy: "I wish you all the best. If you don't help me, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it today!"
Lu Lu looked at the old chicken coop that was simply piled up with corn grass in the corner of the yard: "Go and clean that place, and I'll nail the chicken coop!"
"Okay!" Liu Hao nodded, then turned to look at Aunt Duan and Zhang Fengzhi: "What are you still doing? Invite Xiuyu to sit in the room. You go in and chat. Leave the affairs here to us.
Come on, don’t stay out in the cold with us, warm up the kang..."
Aunt Duan smiled with satisfaction and called Zhang Fengzhi and Chen Xiuyu into the room.
Lu Lu and Liu Hao acted separately. Liu Hao was busy looking for tools to dismantle the old chicken coop to make room for it. Lu Lu picked up a saw and started sawing the wood and boards as needed.
It's just a chicken coop. It's not complicated, there are no requirements, and it's not difficult at all.
The two of them worked in the yard for almost two hours. A large double-layered wooden cage was nailed out and placed in the cleared area under the plum tree in the yard. It was also covered with pine needles and filled with straw and corngrass.
Cover it with a grass roof and keep it warm all around.
At first glance, it looks like it’s not a bad job.
Liu Hao excitedly shouted into the room: "Mom, the chicken coop is ready, can you come out and see if it's OK!"
Aunt Duan quickly came out of the house, looked at the newly made chicken coop, and smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, well done!"
Chen Xiuyu and Zhang Fengzhi also came out. When they saw the chicken coop, they were also full of joy. Especially Chen Xiuyu, who immediately came next to Lu Lu: "Brother Lu, make one for your home sometime!"
"Auntie, we don't have enough materials here and the location is limited, so we can only make one for our family. When I get back, you can just find someone to build a chicken coop!"
Lu Lu thought for a while and felt that he should raise more chickens. Stupid chickens are essential for collecting eggs and eating chickens. Moreover, when the planned things are done, I am afraid that many stupid chickens will be needed to entertain guests.
He figured he might as well build a bigger chicken coop.
"Let's go into the house. We'll have dinner at our house tonight. Don't run away!"
Aunt Duan smiled and welcomed Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu into the room: "You all want to eat something, I will cook it for you!"
Liu Hao and Lu Lu looked at each other, as if they had a clear understanding, and said in unison: "Sauerkraut basket!"
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Duan, Chen Xiuyu and Zhang Fengzhi all laughed.
"Don't you still want to learn how to cook the fish in Wolong River that day? Let's eat it again today!" Liu Hao also said with a smile.
"This time, if you say it, I will do it!" How could Lu Lu miss this opportunity?
The five of them entered the house together. Liu Hao poured warm water to wash his hands and sat on the kang to drink water and chat. Seeing that it was almost time, Aunt Duan got up to make the pickled cabbage basket. Chen Xiuyu and Zhang Fengzhi naturally followed.
Lu Lu, on the other hand, began to prepare the mixed fish under Liu Hao's guidance.
After a meal, the sauerkraut basket still tastes like the sauerkraut basket, but the cooked fish can no longer taste the same as the one on the Wolong River.
Aunt Duan didn't go to Wolong River. She never tasted the wonderful taste. She only said that the fish cooked today was delicious.
But Lu Lu, Chen Xiuyu and Zhang Fengzhi have all eaten it, and they all have the most direct feelings. At the very least, the fishy smell is much stronger.
Liu Hao himself felt a little strange: "It's obviously the same way, but why is there such a big difference in taste?"
Lu Lu thought for a while and felt that the biggest difference between making fish soup twice was probably that when he made fish soup for the first time, he used the freshest fish that had just been fished out, and the water used to cook the fish was directly from Wolong.
The ice on the river melts.
All he could think of were these two aspects.
It is normal for the same method to taste different if the place is changed.
There was no way to force things, Lu Lu just wanted to wait for a chance in the future and try it again.
After finishing the meal, they chatted together and watched as it was getting late. Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu were ready to go home, and the family of three followed them out.
"Don't send me off, it's cold outside, go back early!"
When they left their yard, Lu Lu turned around and said to the three of them: "It's just a short walk. Xiuyu and I are just like taking a walk. We will be back home in a short time. Go back... Haozi, you and your siblings
When are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Leave at six o'clock in the morning to catch the train in the city!"
"Tomorrow morning, Xiuyu and I will drive the sledge to see you off. It's a long way away, so you don't have to walk! It just so happens that Xiuyu and I have been married for such a long time and haven't been to the city yet. We are also planning to take wedding photos.
.”
Lu Lu thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you go too? Let's go to the photo studio to take a photo together. It will be considered a family photo. Now that you are gone, I don't know how long it will take to see each other again. Having a photo is also considered a family photo."
I have a thought."
"That's a good idea!" Zhang Fengzhi nodded before Liu Hao could speak.
Tomorrow's affairs are settled so simply.
Letting Aunt Duan and her family stay, Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu returned to their home in Mukoleng together.
Lu Lu had already told Chen Xiuyu about the photo taking, but she had just put it aside. Now Lu Lu mentioned it again, and it would become a reality tomorrow. Chen Xiuyu seemed very excited, and she kept holding Lu Lu's hand when she left Xiushan Village.
With his arms crossed, he was thinking about where he wanted to go when he entered the city tomorrow.
The next morning, Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu got up early, finished their work in Caodianzi, changed their clothes, and drove the sledge to Duan's house.
Liu Hao and Zhang Fengzhi were busy packing their backpacks, while Aunt Duan followed behind them, with reluctance written on their faces.
But we have to say goodbye after all. At this time, even if there are thousands of words in my heart, I suddenly don’t know what to say.
The air became dull. After packing up their things and washing them, several people got on the sledge and hurried to the city.
It took almost two hours to arrive at the city train station. Liu Hao and Zhang Fengzhi went to buy train tickets first. Seeing that they still had plenty of time, the three of them had breakfast in a restaurant in the city, then packed up and went to the photo studio to take pictures.
First, Lu Lu and Chen Xiuyu took wedding photos, and then the five of them took a "family photo" together.
This black and white photo will not be developed until a week later, and then I will have to run to the city again.
When walking out of the photo studio, Lu Lu grabbed Liu Hao, avoided Aunt Duan and the others, took out 800 yuan and handed it to Liu Hao.
Liu Hao looked at the money in Lu Lu's hand: "What are you doing?"
"This is the money we paid for the six foxes and eight badgers we hunted in the mountains that day. According to the price at the buying station, I made a preliminary estimate that they could be sold for about 1,560. This is your half.
You put it away!"
The furs could not wait to be dried and sold. Seeing that Liu Hao was about to leave, Lu Lu had no choice but to pay for it himself.
"Brother, you take this money back... I was about to tell you about this. In fact, when I came back this time, Fengzhi and I had a good talk with my mother twice. We wanted to pick her up and have her with us.
The people we stayed with included military compounds and our own houses.
However, my mother never agreed, for fear of dragging us down. The most important thing is that she has lived in Xiushan Village for so many years and is used to it. She can't let go here, and she can't let go of my dad.
In the past few days, I have actually been walking around the village a lot, and I have talked to many people about you. I know everything that happened when you arrived in Xiushan Village, and I know that you are a person who values love and justice, and is someone worthy of trust.
My mother became attached to you, and in my heart, you are my brother, my real brother!
Brother, once I leave, I don’t know when I will come back. I want to entrust you to take care of my mother."
Liu Hao raised his head and looked at Lu Lu seriously, his tone full of sighs.
"You don't need to explain this matter, I will take good care of my godmother, don't worry about that!" Lu Lu nodded in response.
"You take back this money. Why can I still ask for your money? Just keep it to take care of my mother..."
Liu Hao said, taking out a page of letterhead from his arms, with two strings of numbers and a series of addresses on it: "This is a telegram that can contact me and my wife, as well as my address. If anything happens to my mother, I must contact you."
Remember to send us a telegram and write to us more often. If you encounter any trouble, remember to tell me and Fengzhi and I will try our best to help you solve it!"
Lu Lu took the letter and glanced at it, it was the military compound.
Those who can be equipped with guards are not ordinary people. It is also very easy to live in the military compound as a guard. With such a relationship, Lu Lu has no doubt about the weight of his words.
Seeing what Liu Hao said, Lu Lu stopped following him and simply put the things in the inner pocket of his arms.
Then, the few of them walked around the city for a while. Seeing that the time was almost up, Lu Lu bought some stove fruits, hibiscus cakes and fruits for the two of them, and then sent the two of them to the train station to get on the train.
The three of them walked away under the watchful eyes, and then called Aunt Duan, and the three of them returned to Xiushan Tun together.
