Fu Wencheng was carrying a backpack, holding his wife's hand, smiling as if in the spring breeze.
Oh, I haven’t hung out with my wife for a long time, and I miss her a little.
The four of them found a spacious place and started to work.
First, they lit the firewood. Duan Yangbing and Fu Wencheng shot two more pheasants. Ming Leyao cut all the chicken legs and wings that could be used and skewered them. The rest was cut in the middle of the chicken and then roasted on the fire.
This time, Qiao Xiaoran brought a few sweet potatoes and threw them next to the fire. The four of them sat on the ground and sat around the fire, but they didn't feel very cold.
Ming Leyao prepared more adequately this time, including oil, brushing sauce, cumin, chili powder, etc.
Soon, the aroma of barbecue wafted out, and the greedy Qiao Xiaoran kept staring at the skewers.
"Okay, try it."
There were more than seventy skewers made from one pound of pork and two pounds of mutton, which was enough for four people. Ming Leyao roasted twenty skewers for the first batch, which was shared by four people. They were soon gone.
"Let me do it. You sit down and take a rest."
"good."
Fu Wencheng's technique is more skilled than Ming Leyao's. After all, when they were on missions in the wild before, they relied on this thing to fill their stomachs. Although there are not so many seasonings, it is still meat after all, and it tastes delicious.
"Well, the air in the mountains is still better."
"yes."
Qiao Xiaoran and Ming Leyao smiled at each other and continued to eat the skewers in their hands.
"By the way, Sister Xiao Ran, have you ever thought about opening your own store?"
"Hmm? If I open my own shop...I guess I can't do that now, right?"
"The policy should be open soon, so it's better to make plans in advance."
"real?"
Ming Leyao nodded implicitly. She heard the conversation between the old men during the New Year. These things were not confidential at all. They would be announced sooner or later anyway, so it didn't matter whether she heard it or not.
She also got a message...
The college entrance examination will also be brought forward.
I don't know how Ming Xiaojiang is preparing. I have to call home and ask about the situation.
"If that's the case, I would have thought about it. I didn't think about it so much before, but now that I've made money, I find that I really love the feeling of having money in my hands."
"I'll teach you a few more and then discuss opening a store with you. I see that Baihe County is also undergoing construction, so there should be new plans. Do you have any relatives here? Can you ask about the specific plans so that we can decide where to open a store?"
"Yes, my uncle is here. I'll ask him later."
"Okay, let's look at the plan. We'll buy a house in that area, facing the street, and then renovate it. When it's really open, we can open the store directly."
"I think so."
The four of them finished eating all the food they brought, put out the fire, and then slowly walked down the mountain.
It was already past four in the afternoon when they got home. Ming Leyao and Fu Wencheng went to the military office together and called home.
The captain answered the phone, asking her to call back in ten minutes and then ran to call someone.
Fourth uncle, fourth aunt, as well as Ming Xiaojiang and Ming Xiaoxue, all ran to the brigade headquarters as soon as they heard that the call was from Ming Leyao. Fortunately, it was cold at that time and there were not many people on the road, otherwise, they would have to follow a group of gossipy aunts.
"Le Yao? Are you okay over there?"
Fourth uncle answered the phone first, and the first thing he asked was how Ming Leyao was doing.
Ming Leyao replied with a "good" and then asked them how they were doing, how they were doing, the grain harvest, and whether they were living a good life...
Fourth Uncle happily answered all the questions one by one. Fourth Aunt beside him seemed a little anxious. She snatched the phone and started asking, "Le Yao, are you and Wen Cheng doing well? When are you going to have a baby..."
Ming Leyao "..."
This was a bit unexpected.
"Aunt Four... We don't have a baby yet, but there's nothing wrong with our health. Just go with the flow."
"Hey, hey, just go with the flow. If you have a baby, you must tell me and I will come over to take care of you."
"Okay, I'll definitely go ahead, Aunt Four."
After chatting about family matters for a while, Ming Leyao asked about Ming Xiaojiang's academic progress.
Ming Xiaojiang said that he had been prepared and was ready at any time.
"Okay, okay, you're graduating this year, so listen to more news. I estimate you'll graduate soon, too."
"Okay, sis, I know."
The two sisters said a few words, and due to time constraints, they had to hang up the phone.
After leaving the brigade headquarters, Fourth Aunt suddenly slapped her thigh, remembering that there was still something about the old house that she hadn't talked about, and she felt a surge of regret.
"Oh, how can I tell my child about this terrible thing?"
"That's right, it's really terrible. Forget it, don't notify her."
"Um."
Speaking of the Ming family's old house...
Ever since the people in the old house had accidents one after another, life in the old house had been getting worse day by day, and there were more and more family conflicts. Fortunately, it didn't completely explode until Qian Lai Di wanted to remarry...
The old lady then completely exploded.
The family quarreled so much that they even alarmed the police, but that didn't stop Qian Lai Di from wanting to remarry.
It's really a disgrace to the city.
The old lady was so depressed that she had a stroke.
The next day after she was paralyzed in bed, no one could stop Qian Lai Di, so she packed her bags and went back to her parents' home.
The old man was unwilling to serve her, and the daughter-in-law was unwilling to serve her either. The smell in the room every day was almost as bad as that in a pigsty.
No matter what, Uncle Ming and Aunt Ming took family affection into consideration and went to take care of the old lady for a few days. However, the old lady was not well behaved even when she was sick and kept swearing every day. This was not a bad thing.
Unexpectedly, the old lady went even further and swept the boiling porridge off the table, directly onto Aunt Ming's hand, which instantly burned a large area of it. If she hadn't dodged quickly, the bowl of porridge would have been poured over her head, and she would have been disfigured.
When Ming Xiaojiang found out about this, he made a big fuss in the old house that same day, announced the old lady's behavior, and then took his biological mother home.
This time, no one in the production team said that Fourth Aunt was unfilial. Even if they wanted to say something, they couldn't. It was really the old lady's fault, and no one else could be blamed.
As time went by, no one cared for the old lady. Now she was hanging on for dear life, and no one knew when she would die. Originally, Fourth Aunt Ming wanted to tell Ming Leyao about this.
I said too much and forgot about it..
Now that I think about it, it’s better not to say anything, so as not to have anything to do with Lao Zhai anymore. It’s better for everyone.
Time passed little by little, from winter to spring, and Qiao Xiaoran finally got the plan of Baihe County. The two studied it for a long time and finally decided to find a small courtyard next to the main street.
I ran around for two days before I found a house with a suitable price and a good location, but the house was a bit shabby.
Qiao Xiaoran looked at the ruins, frowned and said, "This... Is this okay? Isn't it too broken?"
“Tear it down and rebuild it.”
"Ah? That's a lot of money, right?"
