After sweeping the floor, she had nothing important to do, so she picked up a book and started reading. However, halfway through, she felt a little annoyed.
She began to miss home again.
I just want to know when a car will come from the foot of the mountain. It would be okay if I could just make a phone call.
The big yellow dog lay beside her legs, looked up at her, and then wagged its tail vigorously at her.
Zhou Ying went out to collect firewood every day. In addition to using the firewood for burning and cooking, he could also save some for the winter. I heard that the winter here is quite cold and it snows. The snow here is not like in Xingning. Sometimes it melts while falling. It looks big, but when it falls to the ground, there is not even a shadow of snow.
However, the snow in the mountains can last for more than two months, and sometimes the mountains are closed due to heavy snow. Villagers have to stay in this small mountain village for a month or even a whole winter. After storing enough firewood and food for the winter, they start to stay indoors, which is called "hibernating". Most of them go to the back of the mountain to collect some firewood. At that time, even the firewood they picked up was wet and could not be used immediately. If the weather was bad, it would take ten days to half a month to store it. Therefore, the villagers got used to storing firewood for the winter in advance.
Corn stalks, wheat stalks and the like are also reserved for winter use.
In fact, this kind of life was the most common life in the 1970s and 1980s. It was just that Liu Jing had always lived in the city, so she had never experienced it. However, she had heard of it, but she didn't expect that she had passed that era and could now experience it for the last time.
According to what Zhou Ying said, winter comes early in the mountains, and it may snow as early as November. If it snows, the villagers will not be able to go down the mountain, and of course they will not be able to go to the town.
For the people in the village, they are used to such a life. Even if they don’t go down the mountain or go to the town for three or four months, it is not a big deal for them. At least they have food and drink, and their life will go on the same.
But they can wait, but Liu Jing cannot. Does she have to wait for a whole winter before she can go home? What if Zeng Xubai marries the little witch by then? What if they erect a tombstone for her?
So now she hopes that this year's winter will not come so quickly, so that she can go down the mountain to make a phone call. It doesn't matter even if the cat spends the winter here. At least people will know that she is still alive, so that they won't really build a cenotaph for her or something.
She really isn't dead.
Outside, Zhou Ying carried back one bundle of firewood at a time. The bones in Liu Jing's legs were growing better and better, and she could feel the pain easing every day. On the first day of the new year, she asked Qingyue to treat her legs. Although it could not cure the symptoms, after she came back, the bones in her legs had grown together. Thanks to the doctor who set her bones, her bones were connected correctly, and there was no error at all. If she continued to grow like this, as long as she didn't do anything too much, she would still be able to climb mountains in the future. Otherwise, she would become a cripple and a disabled person.
Now she hardly needs injections anymore. She just needs to take some tonics every day. The food eaten by the villagers is pollution-free, and the vegetables are grown by themselves. Although the taste of the food is just like that, every meal is the same every day. The food cooked by Zhou Ying is just a handful of salt.
But she is very healthy. Her face, which was originally thin due to a leg injury, has gradually recovered and she has also grown a little bit of meat. Although she is still unable to move, she has the basic ability to live and does not need to trouble Zhou Ying anymore.
Now, apart from not being able to go out, she has no major problems living alone.
Zhou Ying took her things and prepared to go home. She left the big yellow dog to Liu Liang to guard the door, and would bring some firewood to Liu Liang every day. She felt that Liu Liang used firewood so economically. If it were their family, there would not be much firewood left. But when it came to Liu Xian, firewood was used by the root.
Well, I use the province.
Liu Liang smiled, but she was still feeling quite nervous.
Of course, she didn't use firewood, she used an induction cooker. To cook for one person, using an induction cooker is much faster than cooking with firewood.
Zhou Ying was an honest girl. She believed whatever Liu Jing said and went out happily to collect firewood again.
Liu Liang still had a lot of snacks that she wanted to give her, but she couldn't take anything out now. However, she took out some things like fish skin peanuts, saying that she made them herself, and some people would believe her. Coincidentally, Zhou Ying brought her a lot of peanuts last time and asked her to cook porridge, which gave Liu Liang an excuse to take them out.
Zhou Ying’s favorite food is these fish skin peanuts. They are crispy and delicious, and she treasures them very much. She always takes these fish skin peanuts back home and eats them with her grandparents.
Her greatest happiness every day now is to eat a fish skin peanut. She can eat one for several minutes. The taste spreading in her mouth makes her face smile every day.
And Sister Liu also said that as long as she could get more peanuts, she could make fish skin peanuts for her.
Zhou Ying is now waiting for peanuts. When the car arrives from the foot of the mountain, she will go to the town with her grandmother to buy some peanuts. Her grandmother said that these fish skin peanuts can be used as a dish during the Chinese New Year. It will be very face-saving to serve them on the table.
So now Zhou Ying and Liu Liang were both looking forward to the car coming from the foot of the mountain.
But after waiting day after day, the car from the foot of the mountain still did not come.
Zhou Ying complained to Liu Jing more than once, asking why no car came up and she still had to go buy peanuts.
Liu Liang just smiled and worried about the bags of fish skin peanuts in her ring.
If you don't take out the raw materials, I won't dare to take them out even if I have more.
There was really nothing she could do, so she could only apologize to Zhou Ying, and then at night when it was quiet, she ate alone, no, there was also food for the big yellow dog. She put a lot of things in her ring, including a lot of vacuum-packed meat. In addition to what she ate herself, a lot of it was fed to the big yellow dog. The big yellow dog, which was originally skinny and a little bony, now had grown a lot of meat and looked quite strong. Even its barking became louder.
Of course, the one who gives milk is the mother. The big yellow dog follows Liu Liang around every day, wagging its tail more and more happily. Even if Zhou Ying comes to call the big yellow dog, the big yellow dog will not go over and insists on following Liu Liang.
