Chapter 99 Hawthorn Cake



Zhou Tingyue probably thought of what he was going to ask, and nodded with a smile: "What is it? Ask!"

Gousheng pursed his lips and looked up at him timidly, with a hint of fear and expectation in his eyes.

"I, I want to ask you, have all the people in Yushan been rescued?"

Zhou Tingyue nodded: "That's right, and they've arranged for people to send them home! Those bad guys have also been caught!"

After hearing Zhou Tingyue's words, Gousheng felt relieved.

He'd been worried about this for days, wondering how Xiaohu and Erniu were doing. Had they been rescued? Had they returned home and reunited with their families?

In Yushan, Xiaohu and Erniu have the best relationship with him, so he naturally hopes that they are all safe!

Now hearing that they had all returned home, a lonely smile appeared on Gousheng's face.

This is good!

They all have families waiting for them, so they must go back!

I don't want him to be an orphan without parents or relatives.

Zhou Tingyue naturally saw his emotions, thought about it, stopped and looked at him.

"I don't know if those two kids were Xiaohu and Erniu. I just know they were two half-grown kids covered in wounds. They asked me about you!"

The dog's eyes lit up instantly?

"It must be them! Are they still thinking about me?"

Zhou Tingyue nodded. "Yes, they haven't forgotten you. They asked me if you were saved. When they heard you were safe, the two children were so happy that they cried! They also asked me to tell you not to forget your agreement!"

Gousheng's eyes instantly became moist.

When they were about to be killed by the falcons, they comforted and encouraged each other.

He said that he had never seen the beautiful rivers and mountains of his motherland in his life, and had never visited the capital of his motherland. How could he die so easily?

They must not die! They must live on, go to Tiananmen Square in Beijing and watch the flag-raising ceremony!

“They all remember…they all remember…”

Gousheng choked softly.

"We must live well! We all must live well! We must go to Beijing, to the capital, to see Tiananmen Square. This is our promise, our promise..."

Infected by the emotions of dog life, Zhou Tingyue's eyes also turned red.

He patted him on the back gently and comforted him: "Come on, you are a good boy. You must live well and fulfill your promise!"

Gousheng wiped his tears, his eyes seemed brighter, and he nodded with gratitude.

"Yes! Thank you, Chief! I will definitely do it!"

Zhou Tingyue smiled.

"Don't call me 'chief' anymore, just call me Brother Zhou like you would call my wife!"

Gousheng blushed a little embarrassedly and grinned.

"Brother Zhou!"

Zhou Tingyue smiled and agreed: "Hey~"

At this time, Song Shiwei, who was walking in the front, saw that the two of them were far behind and shouted at them, "Tingyue, you bastards! What are you doing? Let's go! Go home and eat hawthorn cakes!"

Zhou Tingyue and Gousheng looked at each other, responded with a smile, and hurriedly followed.

When I got home, the hawthorn cake had indeed solidified.

A large pot of hawthorn was used to boil a small pot.

Looking at the bright red paste, Xinxin and Zhou Wei were already craving it.

Especially the sour and sweet smell in the air made their saliva flow.

They always wanted to eat it, but they didn't dare to because Song Shiwei didn't come back.

So, I saw Song Shiwei and the others appear at the door carrying buckets.

The two of them hurried over, one hugged their thighs, and excitedly pointed at the basin and asked, "Mom, is it time to eat?"

"Can I eat it now? It's already solidified!"

Song Shiwei reached out and tapped the two little heads, then nodded with a smile.

"Alright, alright! Look how greedy you two little monkeys are! Once I wash my hands, I'll cut it for you!"

Carrying the bucket, he went into the kitchen and poured the seafood into a large basin.

She would pick out the oyster meat from another bucket of oysters one by one.

Afraid that the children would be waiting anxiously, I sealed the hawthorn cake first.

Turn the bowl upside down on the chopping board and cut it into small square pieces with a knife.

I used a bowl to serve some to each child. Although the hawthorn cake is delicious, you can't eat too much of it, as it will make your teeth sour.

One bowl per person is definitely enough.

So, she divided the rest into five portions, put three of them in bowls, and asked Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin to deliver a bowl to Sun Meimei's family, Jian Qiu's family, and Wang Chunxiang's family next door.

A treat for the kids!

For the other one, she found a clean oil paper bag, wrapped it up, tied it with nylon rope, and handed it to Xiao Cui.

"Take these back and eat them!"

Xiao Cui waved her hands as soon as she saw it: "We don't want Sister Weiwei, this is enough for us to eat, you can save it for Xinxin and the others!"

When Song Shiwei was distributing the hawthorn cake just now, he had already given a bowl to her, Xiaojun and Gousheng.

How can they still go back in such large numbers?

Xiaojun and Gousheng also waved their hands.

"We don't want it, Sister Weiwei, save it for Xinxin and the others!"

But Xinxin is very sensible.

Pulling the corner of Xiao Cui's clothes, she smiled with her cute little face and said, "Sister Xiao Cui, you guys take it. Xin Xin is little, this much is enough. Mom said that no matter how delicious the food is, you can't eat too much, or you will get an upset stomach!"

Zhou Wei licked his lips and nodded: "Yes, Sister Xiao Cui, if you want to eat it in the future, mom can make it for us, just take it!"

Zhou Cheng and Zhou Lin also echoed: "Take it, Sister Xiao Cui!"

Song Shiwei stuffed the paper bag into her hands.

He laughed and said, "This thing is made of hawthorn, it's not worth much! Come and take it! And these hawthorns were picked by Gousheng for me! There are so many hawthorns in the back mountain. Maybe next time I will call you to help me pick them together!"

Xiao Cui then continued embarrassedly.

But she turned around and handed the hawthorn cake to Xiaojun, and carefully took out a piece of paper from her arms.

"Sister Weiwei, these are the people Gousheng and I asked for cotton-padded jackets. Look, I've counted them! Our village asked for 23 pieces, and the four neighboring villages asked for 109! We don't have time to go any further!"

Song Shiwei looked at the note she handed over and remembered clearly how many items each village had requested.

But the handwriting is still a little crooked. Xiao Cui has just started learning, and it is very good that she can recognize so many characters and write like this.

She also made a statistics above, a total of 132 items.

Song Shi looked at her with a delighted smile: "Xiao Cui, you are amazing. You actually know so many words?"

Xiao Cui's face turned red immediately and she smiled embarrassedly.

"I, I just practiced according to the book Zhou Cheng gave me last time. It has pinyin on it, and combined with what you taught me, Xiao Cui, I just wrote it randomly..."
