One lie must be covered up with countless lies.
Lin Dachuan felt bitter...
Looking at the two brothers, he changed the subject: "We will do it as soon as possible."
"You've helped me so much over the years. I will never forget this friendship."
Huang Qiao didn't think that the little things he did were such a great favor.
He curled his lips and said, "Isn't it just visiting twice a year and helping with some housework?"
"It's just a small thing, not such a big favor. We can just have a couple of more drinks later."
How can this be a small matter?
Lin Dachuan knew that if he chose the "big family", he would ignore the "small family".
If you choose to be loyal to your country, you will not be able to be filial to your mother.
But as a son, filial piety is my duty.
"Two cups are not enough?"
"Qingqing told me that during those years, it was really thanks to you and Zhicheng's care."
"Huang Qiao, Ergenzi, if you have anything to do in the future, as long as I can do it, just let me know."
"As long as it's not illegal, I will do my best."
Ergenzi was delighted when he heard this: "Then you should work hard to climb up the ladder. When you become a high-ranking official, give me a quota and I will send my son to you."
Lin Dachuan nodded: "This is a small matter, I'll make a note of it."
"But that's all for the future. I'll add two more dishes later. We must have a few drinks today."
Ergenzi clapped his hands and said, "No problem. I wonder if your alcohol tolerance has improved? You won't get drunk after just one glass, will you?"
Lin Dachuan narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, I won't fall down even after three cups."
"Haha, just brag, but we're going to get into real trouble soon!"
"If you dare to cheat, I will hit you on the head."
Ergenzi couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"By the way, Dachuan, do you still remember Guan Yongjiang?"
Guan Yongjiang was also a soldier of the same year and from the same county.
Lin Dachuan nodded towards Ergenzi: "Of course I remember, he was in the same recruit company as us."
"By the way, he, Wu Qiang, Zhang Zigang, Lin Gang and others were later assigned to the 102nd Division, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
Ergenzi nodded repeatedly: "Do you still remember that day when the recruit training ended and the squad leader asked him to drink?"
Of course I remember.
Even though he couldn't hold his liquor well at that time, Guan Yongjiang was the only one who could get drunk like a dead pig after just one glass of wine!
Lin Dachuan asked curiously, "Are you trying to tell me that he's already a huge drinker?"
Huang Qiao laughed out loud, "He's not just a big drinker, he's now known as a wine barrel. He can't live without wine!"
Lin Dachuan: “…”
【The 102nd Division cultivates talents! 】
"That's incredible! Wasn't he assigned to work as a welder at the county machinery factory after he retired?"
"So... can I drink alcohol at work?"
Huang Qiao shook his head: "No, he was transferred to the County Revolutionary Committee a long time ago."
"Now he's a big shot around the director. His alcohol tolerance is now comparable to Liu Zhicheng's. He's no longer the guy who gets drunk after just one drink."
The welder went to the county revolutionary committee... awesome!
——It seems that Guan Yongjiang is a real talent!
The three brothers talked about the past and their comrades, and the room was very lively.
Luo Jinping and Luo Jinan didn't leave either. Seeing the guests coming, the two brothers immediately helped boil water and kill the chicken...
There were vermicelli in the bag brought from the team leader's house.
Luo Yunqing remembered that there was sauerkraut in the cellar and decided to make a pork and sauerkraut stew with vermicelli.
There were dried mushrooms in the space, so she grabbed a handful and soaked them, and then made some chicken stewed with mushrooms.
Then he took out two pounds of flour and prepared to make pot stickers.
It would be a waste if you don’t make a few pot stickers in the pot when roasting chicken.
While they were busy, Luo Xiaohe came again.
"Sister Qingqing, what are you doing? Brother Chuanzi hasn't come back yet?"
Her brother was there, and Luo Yunqing didn't want her to come in, so she immediately blocked the door.
"He's back. After dinner, he said he was going to pick up some kindling. He just went out."
ah?
Brother Chuanzi went to the mountain?
Is this a godsend?
Luo Xiaohe went to collect firewood in the morning, and she didn't know about Luo Yunqing's gossip.
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes sparkled and she smiled brightly: "Brother Chuanzi is really hardworking. He went to collect firewood right after returning."
"He won't rest for a moment."
"I came here just to ask you if you were going to collect firewood this afternoon. It looks like you don't have to go."
Luo Yunqing nodded: "I don't have time to go either. The day after tomorrow is Auntie's anniversary, and I want to make two paper clothes for her."
When people die in this place, they have to visit their graves on Qingming Festival and Winter Solstice.
The anniversary is a big day, and all relatives have to go to the cemetery to pay their respects. Luo Xiaohe understands this.
Knowing that Lin Dachuan had gone to the mountain, Luo Xiaohe had no intention of staying any longer and turned around and left.
"Sister, didn't you say you saw her true face? Why are you still so polite to her?"
Luo Jinan was a little confused.
Luo Yunqing smiled.
She knew very well that Luo Xiaohe would probably go around several nearby hills today...it would be a long journey.
"It's not that I want to play with her, but she insists on coming to me to play with me."
"Watching her jump around is actually... quite interesting."
"Don't worry about her. We're leaving in a few days anyway. We don't know how many times we'll be able to come back in this lifetime."
"I'll have dinner ready in a bit. You guys can have dinner before leaving. It's a good opportunity to help me."
Since there was something delicious to eat, the two brothers naturally didn't leave.
Today, everything is delicious, better than what they have eaten in the past ten years combined.
"Okay, anyway, we said we were going up the mountain to collect firewood, and grandpa and grandma never cared what time we came home."
Luo Jinan was younger and more greedy, so he happily agreed as soon as his sister finished speaking.
There is really not much work to do in the middle of winter. The ground is frozen like iron and you can't dig even if you want to.
In recent years, the production team has organized the construction of dikes and dams every winter, but there has not been a major flood for many years.
For this year's voluntary labor, each worker will only work for half a month.
A diligent person cannot stay idle at home, so he goes up the mountain to collect firewood.
Uncle Luo's family are all lazy people, and the two brothers do all the work.
During the winter when farming is slack, the two brothers spend most of their time wandering around in the mountains, and no one cares whether they return early or late.
Let’s not talk about the three siblings who are devoted to cooking, but let’s talk about Luo Xiaohe.
In order to meet Lin Dachuan by chance, she sent her younger brothers and sisters away and went to the mountain alone.
But she went from east to west, and then to south, and she didn't dare go anywhere except north...
"You stupid girl, if you dare to lie to me, after I marry Brother Chuanzi, I will sell you to an old bachelor in the mountains!"
After climbing down several hills, Luo Xiaohe was so tired that he sat down on the ground. He wanted to chop Luo Yunqing into pieces and feed them to the wolves.
But apart from scolding, there is nothing I can do.
After sitting there for more than half an hour, seeing that it was getting late, she returned home unwillingly and angrily.
"Sister, where have you been?"
As soon as she got home, her sister Luo Xiaomiao ran over.
Luo Xiaohe was in a bad mood. She glared at her sister and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
