Chapter 285 Son-in-law
The beef sausage is cooked and then smoked. Mu Xi started a fire in the kitchen with the leftover firewood, took a small pot to boil the water, threw in the chopped tomatoes to cook a red tomato soup, and then added the chopped beef sausage.
Finally, just soak the noodles in it and eat them.
Zhao Yeqing's idea of preparing dry food was that if we could light a fire, we would cook it into soup and eat it with the pancakes. If we couldn't light a fire, we would cut the beef sausage into thin slices and add tomato slices to sandwich it with the pancakes.
That's a smoked sausage sandwich, isn't it? You can have a Western meal in the mountains.
Who can tell whether we are climbing a barren mountain or camping?
Of course, if he could light a fire, Zhao Yeqing would definitely choose hot meals.
After eating, they washed up and went back to their room to rest.
Zhao Yeqing returned to the room, took off his shoes and stepped on the tiles with tears in his eyes.
Who could understand? She had tiled her room and had new windows, but she was forced to move out within a few days of living there, having to sleep in the open air and raise cattle and sheep on the meadow.
There were no sheets or quilt covers on the bed, and the two of them were too lazy to toss and turn for the night, so they took out their sleeping bags and got in one each. The fatigue from the journey made them fall into a deep sleep in just a few minutes.
When Zhao Yeqing woke up, he still felt like he was dreaming.
Mu Xi opened the window of the room last night for ventilation. At this moment, sunlight poured in and fell on the warm yellow tiles through the gaps in the blinds. The breeze blew the white gauze curtains gently across the white wall, and the crisp sound of birds came from the woods outside the window.
She blinked blankly, and her thoughts gradually came back to her.
Then he crawled out of his sleeping bag and lay on the tile floor.
Mu Xi was awakened by her movements and saw the person lying on the ground, wearing a newly changed cotton teddy bear pajamas, with his whole body prostrated on the ground, his black hair that was below his shoulders hanging on the ground, and he sighed from time to time.
He looked confused, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Yeqing said firmly, "Whoever wants to raise the cattle and sheep can do so. I'm not leaving."
Mu Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You're really not leaving?"
His tone was firm, "I'm not leaving!"
"You don't want to eat the sizzling roasted beef and mutton?"
His tone wavered a little, "I don't want to eat anymore..."
"You don't want the dogs at home anymore?"
......
Zhao Yeqing climbed back onto the bed, pulled Mu Xi's arm out of the sleeping bag and bit it, then glared at him, "Go, go, go, you're the only one who knows how to persuade."
We were so tired when we came back yesterday that it was already eight o'clock when we woke up. Fortunately, there was no mountain fog in Meishan today like in the past, and the warm sunshine woke us up.
When they went downstairs, Xiao Hei was already wagging his tail, waiting for them to wake up.
After washing up and having breakfast, Zhao Yeqing found some paper money from his room and walked to his grandparents' grave.
I haven't been back for a long time, and I should have brought some tributes, but conditions don't allow it now, so I just brought a few wild pears I picked on the way back and placed them in front of the grave, along with the wine that my grandfather had buried earlier.
The two of them left Meishan last time without finishing the jar they dug out, so this time I brought it with me for them to try.
The two planned to go back tomorrow. There was not much to do today, so they accompanied the four old people and slowly cleared the weeds in front of the tomb.
Zhao Yeqing kept talking about what had happened in the past two years, and it was almost noon before he packed up and went home.
Xiao Hei had never been here before, so everything in the mountains was new to him. He would lower his head to smell everywhere he went.
The two of them slowed down their pace as they walked home, following Xiao Hei, and picked some wild vegetables and mushrooms when they saw them.
It is relatively simple to cook with local ingredients in this season. Just stir-fry wild delicacies together and add some oil and salt to make it delicious.
It was not until the afternoon that Zhao Yeqing began to pack the luggage to be taken away tomorrow morning.
She had always had the idea that she would come back to live here one day, so she packed up and took away daily necessities and food, as well as winter clothes.
The skin care products that Zhao Yeqing had stockpiled were about to expire, so she quickly took them all with her, along with various hygiene products that were also about to expire, and the snacks that she had not been willing to eat before.
Zhao Yeqing also brought with her many items that had expired for a month or two. As long as they were not the kind of food that would moldy like bread, she didn't care about items like jelly, spicy bars, potato chips, and biscuits that had just expired for a while.
Zhao Yeqing’s judgment standard is that as long as it is not moldy, it can be eaten, not to mention that these things may not be eaten in this lifetime.
This time, Mu Xi did not bring Xiaohong with him like last time. Xiaohong was not able to walk on the steep mountain roads and would fall and slip easily.
The last time Mu Xi came back, he left it at the foot of the back mountain. At that time, there were no animals near Meishan and it was relatively safe. He packed up his things and left. He did not stay at home, but camped in the mountains with Xiaohong.
I have to stay at home for one night this time, and I can’t just leave Xiaohong in the woods, so I simply don’t bring her with me.
Anyway, there was nothing heavy in the luggage except some clothes.
The next morning, before dawn, they packed their luggage and prepared to set off.
After locking the gate, Zhao Yeqing took one last look in the direction of her room and thought to herself that if she could find a way to move her things, she would definitely move back.
The two of them set out even earlier today than the day they returned to Meishan. Xiao Hei seemed to be aware of the danger lurking in the woods before dawn, and was very cautious in leading the way.
Fortunately, apart from the foxes in the woods, we didn't encounter any dangerous creatures along the way.
It was just ten o'clock in the evening when we returned to the meadow.
The two had just come out of the pine forest and walked towards home for a while when they heard the cries of Dahuang and others coming from the direction of home in the distance.
Xiao Hei barked twice and ran straight home.
Both of them were carrying luggage, so they could only quicken their pace and hurry back.
When they were almost home, Mu Xi handed the things to Zhao Yeqing and rushed forward with his gun in hand.
When they were within sight, they looked closely and saw two animals standing at the gate of the yard, with yellow and white fur and black spots.
Mu Xi was puzzled, "Huhu and Xuebing?"
Zhao Yeqing was also confused. The barking of these dogs sounded like they were trying to drive away the two clouded leopards, but they had been eating and living together before, so this shouldn't have happened.
The two looked at each other, and Mu Xi walked forward with caution.
The two leopards turned around, perhaps because they smelled something or heard a sound. At this moment, a third leopard suddenly jumped out from the wall in the yard.
The two of them were frightened instantly, and Zhao Yeqing threw everything in his hands to the ground.
Now the two of them could see clearly that the one who jumped out of the yard was Huhu, and the two in front of them had a familiar pattern on one of their heads, which was obviously Snow Cake.
But who is this other one?
Mu Xi hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth that Zhao Yeqing didn't want to admit.
"Come, meet your son-in-law."
