"Brother, please stop talking, let me slow down, let me slow down, let me be mentally prepared for this cruel fact, I am heartbroken!" Xie Zhiying pretended to cover his heart.
"If you keep pretending, I'll leave. You can move your things alone."
"I'm fine. I suddenly feel fine. Nothing happened. Brother, let's move quickly." Xie Zhiying's expression immediately became serious. He couldn't act anymore. If he acted like his brother, he would be angry.
Because it was getting very late now and there was no way to clean up the house anymore, so these educated youths had to rest one night at the brigade leader's house and arrange a place to stay tomorrow morning.
While the two brothers Xie Zhiyuan were humming and humming while carrying the luggage, Zhang Yu and Zhao Feng were already on the kang and enjoying life.
"Come on! You two quickly take off your shoes and come up to warm yourself. Your aunt knew that you were going to have a good day today, so she started a kang at noon."
Then after a while, two more noodles were brought over, "Come on, come on, get the dumplings on and off the noodles. It's late today, so let's eat some noodles first, and I'll make something delicious for you two tomorrow."
After putting the noodles on the Kang table, he went around looking for various kinds of food for them.
"No need, grandma, these noodles are enough for us." Zhang Yu said as he ate the noodles with big mouthfuls.
Zhou Suqin looked at the two of them with a smile on her face. Seeing that they had almost eaten, she wanted to order more for them.
Zhang Yu and Zhao Feng quickly expressed that they were full. They said this several times before giving up the idea of feeding them any more.
"Well, if you are hungry, you must tell grandma." Zhou Suqin was thinking at this time. If the two children were not full yet, she gave Xie Zhiyuan's share and let the two children eat first.
.
As for Xie Zhiyuan, he is such a big man, what can he eat?
If nothing else, they still have the cornbread left over from tonight, so just chew on two.
At this time, Xie Zhiyuan, who was laughing at Xie Zhiying and trying to move his luggage home, didn't know yet that he no longer had any status in my mother's eyes.
Even a bowl of noodles was almost lost.
Thinking that they were tired from the journey, after they had eaten, Xie Hongguang took the two of them to the house where Zhang Yu lived when he came last time.
"This house has been reserved for you since the last time you lived in it. It has been tidied up in advance. The stoneware and other items are all burned. You should go and have a rest."
After Zhao Feng stayed here for two days, he had to leave.
He still had a job in Beijing, and when he came here this time, he was also worried that Zhang Yu would get into trouble. Seeing that Zhang Yu had gradually recovered in the past few days at home and smiled more, he felt relieved.
In addition, his leave is about to end, so he needs to go back.
The Xie family expressed their understanding of Zhao Feng's farewell and did not try to persuade him to stay. After all, he had other business to do after he returned.
On the day Zhao Feng was leaving, the Xie family chopped up stuffing and prepared to make some dumplings.
"Grandma, don't bother me. I can just eat something."
"No trouble, no trouble. How can you not eat the dumplings when you get on the bus and get off the noodles? Besides, it's not just for you to eat alone. Come over here and help me taste the filling. Is it salty?"
Zhou Suqin used kuaizi to stuff Zhao Feng with some stuffing.
"That's it. The stuffing you prepared is so delicious. I'm already drooling before I even eat it." Zhao Feng tasted the stuffing and then gave Zhou Suqin a thumbs up.
Zhao Feng's performance made Zhou Suqin laugh.
After the stuffing was ready, a bunch of people sat on the kang and started wrapping it around the kang table.
Although there was a lot of stuffing, because there were so many people, the eldest aunt and the second aunt rolled out the dough very quickly. Two people could roll out the dough for everyone to wrap, so it was really fast to wrap it up.
In a short while, several curtains were wrapped.
Xie Zhiying didn't know how to make dumplings, so she was assigned to crack firewood by Zhou Suqin.
Just after Xie Zhiying stopped crying, it started to snow outside, and it was quite heavy. He patted the snow on his body, walked into the house, and shouted to Zhou Suqin: "Mom, it's snowing outside.
Snowing."
Zhou Suqin responded, then looked at Xie Zhiying, who was still and only looked at her: "Since you know it's snowing, why don't you quickly put away the clothes to dry and cover the firewood piled in the yard? It's such a small thing
You have to wait for me to make arrangements for you." Xie Zhiying was used to being told this by my mother, so she was not annoyed when she heard this. She just touched her head, giggled twice, turned around and went out to pack her things.
After he had packed everything, the snow outside was falling harder and harder. He was afraid that if it continued like this, Zhao Feng's way back would not be easy.
So Zhou Suqin hurriedly put down the ones that had just been packed out first, and asked Zhao Feng and others to eat first, and then left as soon as they finished.
After Zhao Feng finished eating, Zhou Suqin packed a lunch box with two dumplings for him. By this time, there was already a thin layer of snow on the ground outside.
"It's cold now, so the dumplings won't go bad. These are already cooked. Just scald them with hot water when you eat them." After saying that, he stuffed the lunch box directly into Zhao Feng's bag.
"I won't keep you any longer. It's going to snow heavily. Let's set off quickly before the road is blocked!"
After saying that, Zhou Suqin shouted into the room: "Zhiyuan, Zhiying, you two go see Xiaofeng off."
"Then I'll leave first. Take care of yourself." Xie Zhiyuan and the others sent Zhao Feng away. It was already dark when they got home.

Since I had already eaten dumplings at noon, I just made some cornmeal noodles to drink in the evening.
When I got up the next morning, the snow had stopped. It had fallen all day and night, and the snow in the yard had reached my ankles.
"No wonder it was so cold last night. It snowed all night." Xie Zhiying said while rubbing his hands.
Because the firewood was covered, he was lazy last night. He didn't pick up the firewood before going to bed, but just put some of the remaining firewood in. Unexpectedly, the kang became less hot in the middle of the night.
He was so cold that he couldn't sleep much that night.
"You deserve it! Who told you to be lazy!" Xie Zhiyuan didn't feel bad at all about Xie Zhiying's passivity. Although he didn't know the specific situation, it was probably because his younger brother was lazy and didn't pick up Chaihu last night.
Caused.
After the family got up, they first cleared a path in the yard so that the women would not be in the way of cooking, and then cleared all the snow from the yard while the women were cooking.
There is a big pit not far from their house. The snow swept by the nearby people will be poured into the pit every year. This time, it can be poured directly into it.
After the house was cleaned up, several men took tools and prepared to clear the snow from the road.
