Chapter 120 The Feeling of Home



Hu Lin came out after washing up, and then Li Aihua went to wash up.

After cleaning up, the house fell into silence and everyone went to sleep.

Hu Xiaoyi was very sleepy and fell into a deep sleep.

He woke up at daybreak, feeling refreshed.

After a good sleep, he got up and prepared to go up the mountain to chop firewood.

When he got out of bed and saw Li Aihua sleeping on the other side of the kang bed, he stopped.

He saw that Li Aihua's hair had become shorter.

At this moment, he realized clearly that Li Aihua had changed.

Whether in terms of psychological feeling or appearance, Li Aihua has undergone a drastic change for him.

But no matter what, Li Aihua is his wife.

Thinking of this, Hu Xiaoyi slowed down his pace involuntarily and quietly opened the door to go out.

Afraid of disturbing Li Aihua.

Picking up the axe, Hu Xiaoyi quietly went out.

Hu Lin, who was woken up, frowned, turned over and continued to sleep.

At breakfast time, Hu Xiaoyi dragged back two tree trunks as thick as his arms and placed them in the yard to dry.

After breakfast, Hu Xiaoyi went to work.

Li Aihua and Hu Lin were also busy with their own things. At noon, Li Aihua brought lunch to Hu Xiaoyi.

This year, they are still playing the time difference just like last year.

During the day, I spend my free time picking up mountain products in the mountains.

But this year Hu Lin has an additional task, which is hunting.

At this time of year in previous years, Hu Lin would have removed all the traps to avoid being discovered.

There are still twenty days left until October, and she plans to finish September.

When the autumn harvest is almost over in October, everyone starts going up the mountain and takes a month off.

In November, if I hunt for another month, I can pay back Zhao Ming's money.

Cooking, hunting, picking mountain products, processing mountain products, and collecting food from the family’s private plots.

During the past twenty days, the two of them have been very busy.

Whenever Li Aihua went to the county town to sell game, she would prepare meals in advance.

By noon, Hu Lin can heat it up and eat it.

After the meal, she had to bring water and food to Hu Xiaoyi.

A year later, during the autumn harvest, Hu Lin brought food to Hu Xiaoyi again.

This time it was in a rice field.

Hu Xiaoyi was still carrying the bamboo water bottle.

The outer skin of the bamboo water barrel has turned light yellow, and some parts of the barrel body and the barrel cover are covered with patina, leaving evidence of the passage of time.

When Hu Xiaoyi saw Jian Ya bringing him food, he felt a little surprised and relieved.

Jian Ya hasn't spoken to him since he came back these days.

Facing Hu Xiaoyi's rather loving eyes, Hu Lin felt a little numb.

After Hu Xiaoyi finished eating, she cleaned up the dishes and left quickly.

The autumn harvest was in full swing, and Hu Lin and Li Aihua once again piled the mountain products they had picked up into small hills.

The grain from the private plots was also harvested and piled in the hall.

Now the hall of the house is full of food. At first glance, it’s hard to find a place to stand.

At the beginning of October, Li Aihua came back from selling eggs and gave the two dollars and forty cents she earned to Hu Lin.

The game harvest in September was very poor and only sold for forty-seven dollars.

Adding the money left over from last time together, it was barely over fifty yuan.

Hu Lin put the remaining 74 cents in the cabinet and went to the health room to find Zhao Ming to settle the account.

Zhao Ming was very busy during the autumn harvest. When Hu Lin passed by, Zhao Ming didn't even look at who he was. He was concentrating on copying the work points booklet in front of him.

Hu Lin bent his index finger and knocked on Zhao Ming's desk.

Zhao Ming, who was busy and absorbed in his work, looked up and saw that it was Hu Lin. He put down the pen in his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose, and looked tired.

"You're here." Zhao Ming stood up and poured a glass of warm water for Hu Lin.

Hu Lin took the warm boiled water and said, "Come and settle the bill."

As he said that, Hu Lin took out the money and handed it to Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming nodded, "Why is the profit so different last month?"

It's twenty yuan less than the month before last.

"It's so hot, prey also needs to hide from the scorching sun." Hu Lin drank some water, "You continue with your work, I'll be back."

Seeing that Zhao Ming was so busy, she stopped chatting and went back to pick matsutake mushrooms, wild blueberries and other wild fruits.

After a few days, the autumn harvest was over and all the grain from the fields was stored in the warehouse. Hu Xiaoyi had some free time and helped to collect the grain from the family's private plot.

In addition to collecting food, Li Aihua was also turning over her own plot of land and planting vegetables for the winter.

Hu Xiaoyi stored potatoes, cabbages, sweet potatoes, taro and other vegetables in the cellar, and he carried the corn and sorghum that needed to be shelled and ground into flour to Hu's house.

Hu Lin didn't go with them this year, so what the liar said should still work.

She and Li Aihua washed the sweet radishes at home and boiled them into sugar.

After Hu Xiaoyi came back from harvesting the grain, he went to the public land and picked up a lot of straw.

The straw on the kitchen and toilet roofs needs to be replaced.

After the autumn harvest, after picking up mountain products, going to the fields to pick rice straw, wheat stalks and other grain roots became a must for every household.

These are essential tools for lighting firewood.

Towards the end of mid-October, when no one went up the mountain to pick up products, Hu Lin went up the mountain to set up the trap.
