In the afternoon, Leng You wanted to accompany Wen Jiuyue for a walk on the street again. Perhaps because of what happened at noon, Wen Jiuyue refused to go out again and started to clean up the house inside and out.
This time, through the joint efforts of the grandfather and grandson, they finally cleared all the weeds in the yard. They kept the red dates that were suitable for eating, and piled the rest in a corner of the yard to use for fire.
Thanks to Wen Jiuyue’s efforts, the house becomes cleaner and warmer.
The next day, as soon as the sky turned light, the grandfather and grandson set out on their journey home.
It took a short time to get back, only two and a half hours, and I got home at only half past eight.
It snowed a little last night, and Baichangpu was sweeping the snow on the stone floor in front of the door. However, the five furs playfully left countless paw prints on the places he swept. Baichangpu deliberately shouted in anger, which made the five furs run even faster.
Leng You went to the deep valley without much rest.
She wanted to hunt more prey and then go to the county town after three o'clock in the afternoon. Hongzao's condition was getting better and better, so it would not be a problem for her to make a round trip in a day.
This time it was Bai Changpu who followed again. Without waiting for Leng You's instructions, Bai Changpu had already tightly grasped the handle beside him. Despite this, when Hongzao rushed out, he still shrugged him vigorously.
It was finally confirmed by White Acorus that Red Dates did it on purpose.
It was already completely dark when we entered the bungalow courtyard in the county town.
There are buns brought from home, which can be eaten after being steamed slightly.
After waiting for Hongzao to rest for a while, Leng You first gave it some water, and then specially added some corn to it. Hongzao snorted with joy after eating it.
After resting for a night, they headed back before dawn the next day.
After five trips in this way, he finally transported all the goods in the house into the county town.
During this period, Bai Changpu and Wen Jiuyue took turns to accompany Leng You back and forth. The two of them didn't feel how hard it was and they both felt very sorry for Leng You.
Although they were wearing very thick clothes, every time they ran, the cold wind would pierce through their clothes and into their bones like a knife. It was difficult for them adults to bear it, let alone a young child like Leng You.
But they couldn't stop her. Although the child was quiet, she was very stubborn. Wen Jiuyue and Bai Changpu knew that she did it for the family. They felt even more emotional and distressed, so they could only let her go.
After sorting the goods and having lunch, Leng You quietly went out to find Hu Liu while Bai Changpu was taking a nap.
The reason why she didn't let Bai Changpu go with her was that she felt that Bai Changpu was the elder and it was inappropriate for her to take the initiative to go to Hu Liu.
"Ah! Sister Youyou, you're here! You're finally here, we all missed you so much.
Sixth uncle...Sixth uncle...your eldest niece is here!
Come...I'll get it."
The third brother who opened the door saw that it was Leng You standing outside the door, and immediately grinned and shouted. Seeing two large cloth bags at Leng You's feet, he was very tactful and took the initiative to pick them up.
However, he overestimated his strength and failed to lift them up the first time. So he scratched his head in embarrassment, and then struggled to lift one and put it into the door, and then tried to lift the other one.
"What, my eldest niece is here?
Oh my! She is my niece!
Niece, you are finally here. I missed my uncle so much!
It’s been so long since I last saw you, more than nine months!
Well... I've grown a little taller, and I think I've gained a little weight, just a little.
Tell Uncle Liu, did you not eat well? Otherwise, why are you still so thin?
Hey...why are you alone here? Where is your brother?
How did you get these things?"
Hu Liu kept yelling at the top of his voice, asking questions one after another.
“I came here with my grandfather.
The things were brought here by hiring a tricycle.”
Most of Hu Liu's questions were impossible to answer, so Leng You picked out the ones that were answerable and answered them.
"Your grandfather? Why didn't he come? Oh...that's right, how can we let the elders come in person! I, the younger generation, should be the one to visit him first." Although Hu Liu looks like a bandit, he is a very sensible person.
"Uncle Hu, this is for you." Leng You pointed at the big sack.
"I've brought some delicious food to Uncle Six again! Well...can Uncle Six take a look?" Hu Liu couldn't help swallowing his saliva while speaking.
He hadn't tasted the delicious food brought by Leng You for such a long time, and he really missed it.
"Okay." Leng You nodded.
Hu Liu couldn't wait to walk forward and untie the bag.
Take things out one by one.
There were the big buns stuffed with roe deer meat, rabbit meatballs, and silly half-chicken stewed with pickles that he had been longing for for a long time...
"Hey... this..." When two roe deer legs that seemed to be covered with a layer of green hair were dragged out, Hu Liu was a little confused.
"This is ham, made from roe deer legs. When you eat it, brush the outside with a brush, then cut it into thin slices and steam it in a pot.
The other bacon, rabbit, chicken and sausage are all eaten in the same way and will not go bad no matter how long they are stored. "
Leng You explained one by one.
"Ham...Ham...I think I've heard of this thing! Is it something from the south? We don't have it in the north!
Hmm...the thing my niece gave me must be very delicious. I steamed it and ate it in the evening.
But why send so much?"
Hu Liu felt very sorry.
"I'll sell these things in the future. If you like them, just tell me." Leng You was very generous to the people she approved of.
"You want to sell this? Okay, okay, hehe... I'm in for a treat again." Hu Liu smiled happily.
When Liu Dazui arrived, he had the same excited expression as Hu Liu. He hadn't seen Leng You for so long that even his wife often mentioned him.
He also gave the same gift, but as usual, it was much smaller than the one given to Hu Liu.
Leng You did not stay for long. Although he left a note for Bai Changpu, he was afraid that he would worry.
When Hu Liu learned that Leng You's family had a house in the county town, he insisted on sending Leng You back, and Liu Dazui also insisted on going with him.
Leng You was just about to ask Liu Dazui to go over and take a look at the goods, so she agreed to let the two of them go home with her.
Ignoring Leng You's dissuasion, the two men first ran to the street to buy a bunch of gifts, and then rode their bicycles separately. Leng You sat on the back rack of Hu Liu's bicycle.
From a distance, he saw Bai Changpu standing at the door and looking around. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Leng You. If he didn't know where Leng You went, or if he was worried that Leng You wouldn't be able to find him when he came back, he would have gone out to look for him long ago.
“This is my grandfather Bai.
Grandpa Bai, this is Uncle Hu Liu and Uncle Da Zui. "
Leng You jumped off the bicycle by himself without Hu Liu holding him.
"Uncle Bai, hello!" Hu Liu and Liu Dazui stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.
"Hello, please come in!" Bai Changpu nodded and let the people into the yard.
The two saw that although the courtyard was a little run-down, it was clean. Then they looked around and saw that there were only the grandfather and grandson. Leng You called Bai Changpu "Grandpa Bai" instead of "grandpa", which made them feel even more strange, but they didn't dare to ask more questions.
