Huo Junshan did not go to the commune. In fact, he had everything he wanted to buy in the space, but he wanted to go there to get a clear path.
I was going to visit Yang Dasheng, but I can't go now, so I won't.
The two dawdled until 10 a.m. before they arrived. When they got there, everyone was working, and the snow in the yard hadn't been shoveled yet.
Huo Junshan started shoveling snow, while Yun Ningyan found a stool in the main room and looked outside.
Yao Qingqing and Yao Tingting came out of the house, one of them carrying a basin of water. They glanced at her, and Yao Qingqing dared not say another word.
After pouring out the water, I came back inside.
Li Xiangyun was tidying up their room, and Huo Changgen was also in the room.
She couldn't go inside, so she had to find a stool in the main room to sit down.
However, the hand warmers that Li Xiangyun sewed for her kept her hands warm at all.
My feet are a little cold.
However, she didn't stay in the main room for long before Li Xiangyun came out.
She saw Yun Ningyan sitting in the main room and asked, "Ningning, when did you get back?"
Yun Ningyan: "Just got back."
"Okay, we'll have dumplings today. I'll go cook them."
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "Mother, then I'll start the fire for you!"
She then followed Li Xiangyun to the kitchen, and Li Xiangyun smiled and said, "Okay!"
While Yun Ningyan was cooking, Li Xiangyun prepared garlic and a sauce.
A pot of dumplings was quickly cooked, and Li Xiangyun shouted at the top of her lungs, "Dinner's ready!"
With a whoosh, everyone swarmed around.
The men took turns getting bowls to serve dumplings. Huo Junshan served Yun Ningyan a bowl first, and thoughtfully instructed, "Be careful, it's a little hot!"
Yun Ningyan took the dumplings, added the sauce, and headed to the main room with the bowl.
Just as everyone was seated at the table, there was a knock on the door.
Li Xiangyun went to open the door, and it was Yang Dasheng who came over.
She smiled and said, "Come in quickly and have some dumplings. I just cooked them. Wait for me to get you a bowl."
Yang Dasheng chuckled and said, "Auntie, I'm looking for Brother Huo."
Li Xiangyun called out into the house, "Third brother, someone's looking for you."
Huo Junshan put down his bowl and came out. Yang Dasheng smiled and picked up the things in his hands.
"Brother Huo, I bought some things and wanted to bring some over to you and your wife, but you weren't home, so I came looking for you."
He was carrying a large piece of pork, a fish, and a cloth bag containing something unknown.
Huo Junshan told him to unload his things: "We have everything here, you don't need to bring anything."
The people in the main room came out carrying bowls, looking at him curiously.
Yao Qingqing and Yao Tingting also came out to look at Yang Dasheng.
Yang Dasheng rode his bicycle, carrying a large pile of things.
Moreover, he was quite good-looking. Yao Qingqing looked him up and down without any hesitation.
She's starting to like this guy!
He's good-looking, generous, and rides a bicycle, so his family must be rich. If I could marry him, I'd be living a life of luxury.
She put down her bowl, tidied her hair, and asked Yang Dasheng, "What's your name? Are you Third Brother's friend?"
Yang Dasheng, unaware of their relationship, smiled and said, "Yes, I'm Brother Huo's friend. I'm here to deliver some things."
As Yang Dasheng spoke, he took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket and handed them to Yao Qingqing, Yao Tingting, Daya, and Xiaohuzi, one handful each.
Yao Qingqing was now even more certain that this person was rich.
Li Xiangyun served a bowl of dumplings, and Yang Dasheng felt a little embarrassed, as he hadn't come here to freeload.
Huo Junshan also said, "Let's eat. It's already noon. Let's eat before we go back."
Yun Ningyan watched Yao Qingqing from the side and secretly rolled her eyes. Did Yao Qingqing have a crush on Yang Dasheng?
Yang Dasheng was not someone to be trifled with; he only seemed very honest in front of Huo Junshan.
Yao Qingqing is probably in for a rough time!
Everyone sat down at the table again, but the table was a bit small, and adding another person made it even more crowded.
Li Xiangyun shouted, "Go back to your rooms to eat, there's not enough room at the table."
Yang Dasheng felt a little embarrassed; why had he sent everyone else inside as soon as he arrived?
Wang Cuihong and Zhang Hongying went inside, and they took the child with them.
Li Xiangyun also pulled up a stool and sat down to eat.
Only Huo Changlan and her daughter remained, and they couldn't be driven away no matter what.
Huo Junshan said, "When you leave later, take some cured meat with you. My mother makes delicious cured meat. Let your uncle try it when you get back."
Yang Dasheng: "Okay!"
He knew that Brother Huo had hunted a lot of wild boars this year and made a lot of cured meat, and he happened to be craving it himself.
He'll take it if you give it to him.
Only Huo Changlan immediately turned cold.
They don't feed their own people, but give it to outsiders. How generous of them!
Although she didn't make it, she felt that since she was also a member of the Huo family, she naturally had a share in it.
However, after several unpleasant encounters with Yun Ningyan, and with the New Year approaching, she didn't want to cause any more trouble, so she simply stopped talking.
Yang Dasheng ate two bowls of dumplings at the Huo family's house, praising them repeatedly: "Auntie, your dumplings are so delicious!"
Li Xiangyun smiled and said, "Eat more if you like it. Come more often, and I'll cook you something delicious."
Yang Dasheng nodded repeatedly.
Right after finishing his meal, Yang Dasheng said, "Brother Huo, I'm going back! I'm going to celebrate the New Year with my uncle tonight!"
Huo Junshan packed six pieces of cured meat for him: "Take this back with you, so your uncle can try some!"
"Okay! I'm off then!"
As Yao Qingqing watched Yang Dasheng about to leave, she felt very anxious. He was leaving so soon, when would she see him again?
She thought for a moment, made up an excuse, and went out the door.
She waited for Yang Dasheng at the door, and when he came out pushing his bicycle, she chased after him.
"Hey, Yang, let me see you off!"
Yang Dasheng was a little puzzled. How could this girl say that she wanted to give him a gift?
Brother Huo is not that kind of person.
It's probably this person's own idea.
Out of consideration for the Huo family, he couldn't be too harsh, so he said calmly, "No need, I'll be leaving now!"
Just as Yang Dasheng was about to get on his bicycle, Yao Qingqing went up and tried to grab his sleeve.
Yang Dasheng was startled. What was wrong with this person?
He quickly and discreetly moved his arm to another location.
"Is something the matter?" His voice had turned cold.
Yao Qingqing bit her lip, a little embarrassed, and asked, "Brother Yang, when are you coming next time? I'll have my aunt cook something delicious for you!"
Yang Dasheng: "The next time will be after the New Year, and I won't come unless there's something wrong."
Yao Qingqing kept her head down, glancing at him every now and then, her face flushed with embarrassment.
She raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, giving Yang Dasheng what she thought was a very alluring smile.
But her face was still swollen, and there were some bruises on her face. When she smiled like that, she looked terrifying.
Yang Dasheng felt a little uneasy. What was wrong with this person's face?
Why does she look so scary? She's so ugly, and she's blocking him from leaving, and she's smiling so... ferociously?
