Stewed mustard greens with tofu and drizzled with a little lard.
Mrs. Chang’s stewed potatoes and cabbage are topped with some vermicelli when they are almost cooked.
The four of them had a simple meal.
This generation does not have the saying that leftovers cannot be eaten.
What’s more, in the winter in Northeast China, if you put the prepared food outside, it will freeze into ice in ten minutes.
It is inconvenient for Mrs. Chang to cook, and she is also worried about her stupid grandson with dementia.
Lu Xinghe made a little more and froze it outside.
By the way, I found the tofu beauty at the forest farm and exchanged a few more pieces of tofu, and cut them into pieces to make frozen tofu.
The noodles secretly taken out from the upper space.
This is enough for Mrs. Chang to eat for a week.
In other words, the couple simply tidied up.
This made Mrs. Chang even more satisfied, so she gave He Xiaoyu ten more Big Unity tickets when she left.
Just like what Mrs. Chang said, who wouldn't complain about having too much money?
After all, she called her godmother, so Lu Xinghe took it as he pleased.
There is a custom in Northeast China not to visit friends in the afternoon.
Generally, seeing patients or visiting relatives is done in the morning.
After all the trouble at Mrs. Chang's house, we can only postpone the visit to Mr. Cao to tomorrow.
It's a good opportunity to prepare more.
The two had just returned home and hadn't even started cleaning the house.
Kong Ganqi was the first to ask someone to bring food to his little brother.
Lu Xinghe's family is having a lively time, so Kong Ganchen doesn't have to worry.
As for the lonely Ye Bufan, not to mention Kong Ganchen, even Lu Xinghe was prepared to bring more prepared food to him.
"Captain Lu, Sister He, this was sent by Kong Ganyu. He asked you to help deliver it to Ye Bufan. Thank you for your help."
The young soldier who got off the car was very polite, with two sacks in his hands fully filled.
But don’t be fooled by his name being Company Captain Lu Xinghe.
But the young soldier obviously had less respect for He Xiaoyu.
Don't forget, this is the granddaughter that Grandpa Cao kowtowed to and accepted as his goddaughter.
Lu Xinghe didn't care about it at all. He just wanted to call Old Lady Chang godmother.
Isn’t this a difference in generations?
Mrs. Chang is much older than Mr. Cao, so it's not too much to call Mr. Cao "big brother" when you see him.
"Come in and warm up. Will you stay for dinner tonight?"
He Xiaoyu entertained them warmly and for a moment she was unable to change her identity.
"Sister He, I want to go now. There is a mission above."
The young soldier acted decisively and left right after he finished speaking, which was very decent.
Lu Xinghe opened the big sack curiously.
It didn't matter that he saw it, even Ye Bufan was shocked by the food that Kong Ganqi prepared for him.
Noodles, lard, pure boiled bones, pork.
A simple calculation shows that this amount of meat would be at least half a pig.
It is said that people in the city live well and the privileged people have never had to suffer.
Just this half pig is enough to cover the pork share of all the villagers in Chaihe Brigade.
"Wife, come and lend a hand."
Seeing this, Lu Xinghe's mind became active.
"Hubby, what are you doing? Isn't this something Brother Kong gave to Brother Ye?"
"He is just a lonely boy, how can he eat so much? Besides, I have to invite him to our house anyway.
This is obviously domestic pork, let's save it for the girl to eat, he is a man, just eat some wild boar meat."
Lu Xinghe, who really wanted to take a rest, now had something to do.
Light a fire and cook until all the wild boar meat is cooked, which makes the fishier smell stronger.
Two sacks of food became one sack.
But Lu Xinghe did not skimp on the noodles.
Don’t underestimate instant noodles. They are considered bad in later generations and are despised by people in Northeast China.
Its status is not as good as instant noodles.
But in this era, two kilograms of fine flour could be exchanged for one kilogram of noodles.
Moreover, there is no demand for it at a high price. Only Kong Ganqi staying at Mr. Cao's place could be so luxurious as to give away half a bag of noodles.
Early the next morning.
The two set out early, taking all four black bears' front paws, as well as their noses and kneecaps.
We headed to Mr. Cao's villa before dawn.
Because we caught the first bus, there were also villagers selling goods on the black market.
This road is relatively safe.
When we came out of Mr. Cao's villa, we gave away the gifts we brought.
But He Xiaoyu now had an extra thousand yuan in his pocket. . . .
The ancients often said that we must respect the elderly.
You see, if you have good qualities, are polite and filial, you will never suffer any loss anywhere.
After saying goodbye to Grandpa Cao, the two of them hurriedly went home to get their things and went up the mountain to find Ye Bufan's small shack.
Since Ye Bufan and I are as close as brothers, there is no reason for us not to visit each other in the afternoon.
Inside a low shack.
Ye Bufan did not go out, but lay on the bed in a daze.
A fierce wind was blowing in from the mountains, and the little heat from the fire in the house was almost blown away.
Ye Bufan, wearing two large cotton-padded jackets, had dull eyes, as if his will had been worn down by the environment.
Just as he was about to add some firewood to the stove, he stood up and saw Lu Xinghe leading He Xiaoyu into the low hut.
A low shack is a semi-underground house with three sides supported by the earth and the other side surrounded by wood.
There is a brick bed inside and it's well-equipped, so it's no problem to live there for a few days.
This is what the mountain herders left behind, just in case.
But it is rare to see someone as stubborn as Ye Bufan who stays for several months.
"Xinghe? It's so cold, why are you taking Xiaoyu up the mountain?"
Lu Xinghe looked at Ye Bufan's miserable appearance and felt that his behavior of replacing flesh was really too much.
But I don't feel any guilt at all.
This guy, if you don't let him suffer a little, he won't know that he will suffer because of his stubborn temper.
If there is an old house at home, you can go to Mr. Cao's house and follow Kong Gan to do the work.
I can choose any of these options, but I insist on living in the mountains.
"I'm here to bring you some food. Half of it is from Brother Kong, and the other half is made by Xiaoyu out of pity for you. It's convenient for you to eat it by yourself in the mountains."
"It's not convenient at all. I don't know what happened, but there have been rats in the mountains recently. All the food I used to enjoy has been eaten by rats."
Ye Bufan had a depressed look on his face.
There is a feeling of being indifferent to life and death.
"Why, the former king of soldiers was not defeated by the tiger, but was defeated by the mouse instead?"
"mouse?"
Listening to Lu Xinghe's ridicule, Ye Bufan's mouth twitched, "Calling them rats, that's because I don't know what to call them, this group of rats are like goblins,
There were some that could recognize traps, some that watched me sleep, and even some big red rats that were almost as big as mountain yellow foxes!
I even wonder if it's a rat's spirit?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Lu Xinghe was 100% unconvinced.
Subconsciously, he thought that Ye Bufan had gone stupid because of staying in the mountains.
"It's easy to have mice. The lynxes at home can leave their nests now. It happens that the puppies will be born in two days. You can move to my house and live for a few days. Get to know the lynxes.
When you carry the lynx up the mountain, you can catch not only mice but also rat spirits.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xinghe glanced at the door.
Just then a red shadow flashed by.
