When we returned to the team, it was already completely dark.
Master Shen hadn't seen Shen Mo come back for a long time, so he went to the brigade to find someone to help look for her.
"Shen Mo is the only child left. Nothing can happen to this child. Please help."
Shen Mo is more like the continuation of Shen Rou. Having lost her daughter, she cannot lose her granddaughter again.
"Don't worry, Shen Mo will be fine."
Accountant Xu knew that Shen Mo was the little bully in the village, and no one would get into trouble without her.
Just at this time, Lu Qingyang and his three companions came back.
At first, it was just a light snow, but by the time we reached Liuxi Brigade, it was snowing heavily.
It was also the first time for Lu Qingyang to see such large snowflakes, and he also felt the biting cold.
I'm originally from the south, where it's not that cold even in November, but here, winter starts in late October.
놛 quickly woke up Shen Mo뇇, wrapped her tightly to ensure that she was warm, and then urged softly: "Little Moli, go home quickly! Otherwise your grandma will worry."
Shen Mo had just woken up and was still confused. She ran towards her home.
At this moment, Master Shen stood at the doorstep, his eyes piercing through the night, anxiously waiting for that familiar figure.
Shen Mo rubbed her eyes and originally planned to slip away, but Master Shen's sharp ears had already caught her tiny footsteps.
"Stop! Why did you come back just now?" There was a hint of blame in Mr. Shen's voice, but more of it was worry that he couldn't hide.
Shen Mo scratched her head awkwardly, her nose slightly red, and she stammered, "Just... just go for a walk in the mountains."
"You are lying. You were raised by me and I don't understand you."
Shen Mo lowered her head and suddenly burped. She had eaten a lot on the way and slept soundly.
"Oh, kid, there's really nothing I can do with you." Master Shen sighed helplessly.
I was so anxious just now that I thought Shen Mo had really done something wrong. I thought to myself that as long as she could return safely, I would not restrict her in the future.
I felt my health deteriorating, and wondered in my heart how far I could stay with this girl.
When he thought of this place, Mr. Shen felt extremely depressed.
Shen Mo has the ability to protect herself, but she is a girl after all.
"Grandma, don't be angry. I didn't go to the mountains. I followed the iron uncles to the town and bought some food. Look, I brought you some big cakes and sticky bean buns. Eat more."
I can feel that this child is trying to please me.
In recent days, my cough has become more and more severe.
"We can't accept favors from others for no reason."
"It's not for nothing."
Isn't she teaching Lu Qingyang how to hunt?
She also gave Xiao the cabbage. Speaking of cabbage, it has snowed this day and there is still cabbage in their fields. She will give some to Lu Qingyang later.
"You have to remember, no matter how good someone is to you, you have to be wary, especially of men."
Shen Mo nodded repeatedly. Grandma had told her so many times, but she had memorized it by heart.
Besides, she didn't think Lu Qingyang had any intentions towards her.
…
As soon as Lu Qingyang came back, he found Sun Xiangqian and Zhou Jianshe standing at the door with their hands in their pockets.
"We thought you wouldn't come back today?" Zhou Jianshe spoke first, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.
The two were obviously waiting for 놛 to come back and take charge of the cooking to solve the dinner problem.
Lu Qingyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You two, if 놖 doesn't come back, you're going to go hungry?"
Sun Xiangqian smiled innocently and shook his head in embarrassment: "I'm used to the food you cook. I always feel that other food tastes a little different."
"Okay, okay, come in! It's as cold as an ice cellar here. I've prepared some tofu and a few fish left. I'll grill some for you!"
This time, we bought some local specialties from the town and prepared the pot.
Put the pots on the built stove, they fit perfectly, one big and one small.
"You really bought it back, Qingyang, you really were willing to do that." Zhou Jianshe couldn't help but feel envious.
"It's not a question of whether you're willing to give it up or not. Just think about it. You have to live your life to the best of your ability and eat the best food. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of time to come here and suffer?"
"If you're hungry, feel free to try these sticky rice dumplings first."
Sun Xiangqian said politely, "I'm so sorry." As soon as he finished speaking, his hand reached out involuntarily, picked up a piece of snack and chewed it with relish, praising it as he chewed, "It tastes really good, but a little cool."
"Be content!"
With laughter in the air, Lu Qingyang brought out the tofu that he had carefully prepared last night from the kitchen. After being pressed overnight, the tofu became firm and delicate.
놛 skillfully cut off a few pieces, intending to cook them together with the fish to create a delicious pot.
The fish had been carefully marinated last night and was now perfect for grilling.
First, place the fish on the stove and bake it until the skin is slightly charred. Then move it into an iron pot and add green onions, ginger, garlic and bright red chilies. The various seasonings interweave to create an alluring aroma.
The most important thing is the secret sauce on the grilled fish. It was developed by Lu Qingyang's modern father. I also know the recipe. I bought some seasonings today and planned to make such a sauce.
When the food is simmering, add beans, tofu and cabbage.
"It smells so good." The two of them were already intoxicated by the fragrance.
After saying that, they started to fight over it. "It's hot, so hot."
The tofu is ground by myself and has a light soybean aroma.
The bean is also tasty, and paired with the juice from the grilled fish, it is soft and delicious.
After finishing the meal, Lu Qingyang took out two pairs of gloves from his bag and threw them into the hands of the two men.
"Your gloves are all torn. I'll bring you a pair of thicker ones. You can use them for now!"
Zhou Jianshe was embarrassed when he heard this. He looked down at his already tattered gloves and said hesitantly, "This pair can still be used for a while."
Lu Qingyang knew what 놛 was thinking, "You guys helped 놛 with the work before, and your gloves were badly worn out. I'm afraid that it will delay felling trees, so this is compensation for you."
Sun Xiangqian accepted it without hesitation, "I'll just take it. Thank you, Qingyang."
Zhou Jianshe also accepted the new gloves and whispered thank you.
Sun Xiangqian said as he ate: "Well, Qingyang, you are the one who has foresight. We live in a big shop, and our bodies itch terribly. We can also smell the odor of stinky feet every day. It's really hard to describe the feeling."
"Or, you come over here."
Sun Xiangqian was still self-aware, "No, no, I'll just stay here for a while. It's just that my head has been itching badly these past few days."
When Lu Qingyang heard this, his expression became serious, "I'm afraid it's lice. It's hard to get rid of it. Come over with me later and I'll clean it up for you."
