The fragrance in the air is stronger...
The moment he fried the spicy chicken, the air was filled with a fragrant and spicy smell.
The two of them were choked and wanted to sneeze.
"A-choo~"
Ma Dahai couldn't help it and his nose started to itch.
“Haha~ It smells so good!”
He couldn't help but praise.
"It will be fine after burning for a while!"
Zhang Weiguo turned his head to look at him and replied.
"Don't worry, the rice isn't ready yet!"
It’s not enough to just eat chicken, you have to pair it with some staple food.
Otherwise, I always feel hungry.
Today, he won't drink.
He has been feeling scared ever since the last time he got drunk and was almost swept away by the flood.
In the future, drink less liquor if possible.
To avoid any accidents that happen and it will be too late.
The two of them were busy with their respective duties, and another ten minutes passed.
"alright!"
Zhang Weiguo opened the lid of the pot and took a look. He felt that the chicken was cooked through.
He took a plate from the side, put the meat in it, then scooped a bowl of water and poured it into the iron pot.
"Okay, the rice is cooked!"
Ma Dahe was in a good mood.
When I opened the lid of the pot, a burst of hot steam came out.
The aroma of rice wafted over me.
He took out two bowls and piled the rice into them.
"Here's your meal, little brother!"
He handed one of the bowls to Zhang Weiguo.
"Brother, chopsticks!"
While Zhang Weiguo took the rice, he also handed him the chopsticks.
"Um!"
Ma Dahe nodded, took the chopsticks and squatted down.
The two of them squatted in front of the makeshift table and started eating dinner.
At this moment, the sun set, and the afterglow of the sun sprinkled in the yard, leaving a golden color.
They hadn't eaten well for several days in the mountains. When they finally had a normal meal, neither of them spoke and just started showing off.
The crackling sound of firewood rang in my ears.
The yard was quiet, with only the sounds of firewood burning and chewing.
The two of them spent more than half an hour eating.
By the time we had eaten, it was already dark.
"I'll go clean up the house. Let's just sleep here tonight and see what happens tomorrow!"
Ma Dahe picked up the package next to him and walked into the house that had not collapsed.
It’s late at night, you can’t sleep outside, right?
There was one room that hadn't collapsed, so I could sleep there for the night.
"Okay, I'll get some water and wash it later!"
Zhang Weiguo also picked up the wooden barrel next to him and walked towards the backyard.
Fortunately, when the well was dug at home, the wellhead was covered high, so the river water did not flood over it.
Otherwise, the well water will also be polluted.
The two of them started working, each doing their own job.
More than twenty minutes passed before the two brothers finished washing and packing up and prepared to go to bed.
In the room, Ma Dahe spread clean sheets on the wooden bed and took out a not-too-thick quilt.
In the current situation, we can only make do with it.
The flashlight was no longer bright, and the light was slightly yellowish.
“Lights out!”
In the darkness, Ma Dahe's voice rang out.
"Um!"
Zhang Weiguo responded sullenly.
After that, the room was completely plunged into darkness and there was silence all around.
The two people lying on the bed didn't sleep at all.
One is thinking about his home.
One was thinking about whether to follow his brother.
Although they didn't sleep, they just lay there without saying a word.
I was afraid that I would not sleep and disturb the other person.
Time passed by little by little.
A full moon rises in the night sky, and the hazy moonlight illuminates the entire earth.
Moonlight poured into the room through the window, and Zhang Weiguo's breathing was very light.
He raised his head slightly and looked towards the other end of the bed.
On the other side, the eldest brother was already fast asleep.
Makes a slight snoring sound.
He felt relieved when he saw that his elder brother was not bothered by what happened during the day.
He lay there quietly for a while, and after feeling a little sleepy, he slowly fell asleep.
…..
Early the next morning.
When Ma Dahai woke up, the other side of the bed was empty.
Sleeping in bed is indeed much more comfortable than sleeping on the floor.
Ma Dahe never wants to experience the life in the mountains for three days and three nights again in his life.
He stretched, yawned and got out of bed.
I walked into the yard in a daze, and then I saw my younger brother squatting in front of the fire, cooking!
The impression Xiaohe gave him was that he had been getting up very early every day for more than ten years without fail.
It was as if an alarm clock had been set in his head.
Always get up on time.
"Did you sleep well?"
Zhang Weiguo heard the footsteps, raised his head and asked.
"Well, sleeping on a bed is better than on the floor. Um...my old waist has been sore those days!"
He raised his hand and stretched his body, and felt that the sprained area had almost healed.
"There's clean water in the bucket. Wash your face. We're getting ready for breakfast!"
Zhang Weiguo pulled the firewood out of the fire, picked up a rag and went to lift the pot.
The porridge in the iron pot is ready.
If you continue to burn it, it will probably become burnt.
"OK!"
Ma Dahe nodded and turned to wash up.
Ten minutes later...
"The last bit of pickled cabbage!"
When I was stir-frying meat yesterday, I put in half a bowl. This is the last bit.
"Well, pickle some more when you have time!"
Ma Dahe continued what he said.
