Fengcheng old events

Chapter 108
When the heat came back, Zhang Qingzhi put on long johns and went to Beikang to unpack the things he had carried over, and took out the rice noodles, fish meat, canned tea and the felt insoles he had cut.

Wool felt is a good thing to keep out the cold.

In the factory, these things are used for gasket sealing and filling, and workers get some back to cut insoles. They are thin, light, durable, warm, and cannot be bought in the market.There is also a washing board engraved with a conveyor belt, which is soft and easy to use, saving clothes and not rubbing hands.

Zhang Jingyi frowned and said, "What are you doing with these? Your father and I are not far behind. Jin Rong is taking care of himself, so it would be nice to keep them for her."

Zhang Qingzhi said: "Yes, they are all distributed by the factory. It doesn't cost money. The family keeps enough to eat."

Zhang Wanli sighed: "The workers are still needed. The state manages them, and they will give them everything. Farming, you can't get ahead."

Zhang Wanzhi said: "Little Jin Bao'er is enjoying a good time, and she has a good life, and we don't need you to worry about it all the time."

Zhang Qingzhi took the half-dry cotton trousers and put them on: "Mom, give me my shoes, I'll go to the fort."

Zhang Wanzhi went out and brought in the shoes that were baked on the stove: "Will you come back to eat now?"

Zhang Qingzhi put zizi on his feet: "I'll come back, I won't stay, I'll go back after a look. It's the Chinese New Year, so I'm doing my best."

Zhang Wanli snorted: "Your father. I don't understand."

Zhang Jingyi said: "Giving him the rice and flour made him blind for nothing. Usually, when we meet, we don't even have a word, so it's as if we can't see you."

Zhang Qingzhi couldn't answer, so he could only lower his head and keep silent.My father's temperament is too familiar, but what can I do?The identity of the son is here.

After taking the rice and noodles, and going to get the hat, Zhang Wanzhi said, "You can't wear that one, it's wet. You don't mind wearing mine."

Zhang Qingzhi took off Zhang Wanzhi's dog fur hat and put it on his head: "I don't care, this one is warmer."

Zhang Wanli said: "I have two wolf skins, I will take them with me before I go back, and you and Jinbao will put them on the bed before the winter camp."

Zhang Qingzhi walked out with his things: "It's not cold over there, you should keep the wolf furs, you are not young anymore."

Come out from the east gate and walk into the castle against the north wind.

From here to the fort, there is a vast expanse of land, and there is not even a tree on the frozen ice surface after crossing the small river ditch. At a glance, it is a vast expanse of whiteness, and it is difficult to distinguish the sky from the earth.The nearest forest is also one kilometer away, hidden in the snow-colored mist.

There are no cars here, just walking on the sledge occasionally. The roads are all hard-pressed by people. There are few people on the Nangou side, so we can only walk in the footsteps of others.The wind was blowing the snow down on my face, and I walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The snow on the side of the road was more than half a meter high.

The mountainous countryside in Northeast China in winter is basically black and white, with no other colors.A person walking on the ground is like a black spot, inconspicuous at all.

The heat from the house was quickly blown away by the strong wind, and the half-dry trousers were frozen to ice again. The white steam that came out condensed on the brim and wings of the hat, forming a thick hoarfrost, and the eyelashes were blown away by the breath. It sticks together in the blink of an eye, and it takes a lot of effort to tear it apart every blink.

It's easy to go when you get to Baoli Road. There are many people here, so you can step on it.

Zhang Yusheng still looked indifferent, and the second sister-in-law talked enthusiastically to Zhang Qingzhi with a squeeze and a smile, but the enthusiasm was not warm.

Putting down the rice and noodles, no one asked to stay for a meal, Zhang Qingzhi went out without hesitation, and the fourth brother chased him out: "Third brother, I will see you off."

Zhang Qingzhi glanced at the fourth child: "Dad, have you found someone for you? Marry a wife and live well, and write to me if you have anything to do."

The fourth child laughed a little: "I don't know if people can see me, I didn't even write a word."

Zhang Qingzhi said: "If you have arms, legs, and land, what's the difference? After you work hard, you can build a house and move out."

The fourth child nodded: "I think so too. I'm afraid that the sixth child and I have to go out alone, and it's no fun to squeeze together."

Zhang Qingzhi also nodded, looked around and sighed: "Lao Liu, if you take care of me, it must be our brother."

The fourth child agreed, and accompanied Zhang Qingzhi to the gate. Zhang Qingzhi took out five yuan and stuffed it into the fourth child's hand: "Go back, you don't have to go with me, it's so cold. Keep the money and don't let them see it. Write me something."

The fourth child agreed with a happy smile, and stood there watching Zhang Qingzhi walk down the slope.

The Zhangjiabao team is a low-production team, with low work points, and you can’t see a lot of money for a laborer throughout the year. Five yuan is a huge sum of money here.

It is much easier to walk from the fort to Nangou. It is not so cold if you follow the wind and the wind is on your back.

When they got home, the food was served on the table, and the red-hot brazier was placed on the kang. Zhang Jingyi asked Zhang Qing to get on the kang, and then took his cotton shoes to the stove and put them on the stove. He spread the cotton trousers on the kang. The family just had dinner.

The three elders boiled white wine, a small tin jug, and each person can have two cups, drinking slowly, Zhang Qingzhi ate without drinking.

The sauerkraut is stewed with meat, pickled vegetables and miso. Every family is poor these days, and every family has these things. If you can eat enough, you are a good guy.

After a night of nothing, the whole family woke up after four o'clock the next morning. Zhang Jingyi made dinner, Zhang Wanli and Zhang Wanzhi prepared things, including wolf skin, pheasant, rabbit, sun-dried mushrooms, fungus, and miso.I didn't carry food, but Zhang Jingyi was there, it was too heavy and inconvenient.

"Dad, uncle, keep the wolf skin for yourself. I'll just take a pheasant, and keep the rabbit for you to eat during the New Year. There is no shortage of meat in my factory."

"Take it, you can still put it on. There are plenty of things on the mountain. As long as you are not lazy, you can take it back and change it for the children. There is nothing else for you." Zhang Wanli put the things in his pockets and tidied them up.

Zhang Wanzhi packed a pack of home-grown dry tobacco: "I went to save on smoking, and I can't take it with me if I have too much. Stay a few more days and come back when Jin Bao'er is safe. Xuehuahua Road is still easy to go, you The legs and feet are not so convenient to walk on the snowy road.

Don't worry about it at home, the two of us can do anything, and take good care of the girl. "

When Zhang Jingyi brought the food to the table, he was a little confused. He had never been out of the mountains before, and more than ten years passed in a flash, and he had forgotten what it was like outside.

After dinner, Zhang Qingzhi loaded his load, Zhang Wanzhi supported Zhang Jingyi, and came out of the courtyard to climb up the National Defense Road.

The old lady was a little inexplicably nervous, Zhang Qingzhi stretched out his hand to support Zhang Jingyi and said to Zhang Wanzhi: "Okay, let's go now, Dad, go back."

Zhang Wanzhi agreed with a wave of his hand: "Let's go, I'll watch you go. Go slowly."

The sky is still full of stars, and the road is glowing white in the dawn night, so it can be seen clearly.

The two of them walked away slowly on the snow, Zhang Wanzhi stood under the old walnut tree and kept watching until the two of them were far away and could no longer be seen in the night.
