Mountain driving career since 1982

Chapter 52 The eldest brother is like a father
After chatting in the cellar for a while, Chen Xiuyu was busy picking thorn buds, and left first.

When she came out with Chen Xiuqing, the excuse she told Ma Jinlan was that she went out to pick thorny shoots, and when she returned, she couldn't carry the basket empty.

She herself couldn't explain why she always wanted to go to the cellar to see Lu Lu.

Ma Jinlan suspected that she had Lu Lu in her heart. She thought about it for a long time, but at most she just thought that Lu Lu was interesting, and he was also a benefactor, so she should go and see.It's just a little strange why this idea is getting stronger and stronger.

The picked thorn buds are not very good, so they are washed at home, blanched, rinsed again, dried and stored, and eaten by themselves.The tender ones are sent by Ma Jinlan to the district for sale.

The purchase price is not high, but it is always good to have some income, to help with the daily expenses of the family, and to have a little savings.

According to Lu Lu, the wild vegetables, mushrooms, and nuts in the Northeast will be very famous in the future, and more and more vendors will buy them, and the prices will also increase. It was a good day.

Chen Xiuyu didn't understand Lu Lu's talk about reform and opening up, and what to say, but it didn't stop her from looking forward to that kind of day.

The wild vegetables, mushrooms and wild fruits are all over the mountains and the seasons come in rotation, covering the mountains. As Lu Lu said, they are all money.

It's hard for Chen Xiuyu to imagine what kind of life it will be like at that time, and there is probably only one word in her heart to describe it: beauty.

After hearing Lu Lu's words, many people would probably only think that he was talking nonsense.

Because in the eyes of most people, those wild vegetables are just picked up because there is nothing to eat, and they find it troublesome to feed the animals.

But Chen Xiuyu believed it in her heart, because more and more people in the district were buying these wild vegetables and selling them to Yichun City or cities farther away.

This small sign alone may not explain anything.

She just wants to believe, yes, yes.

For this industrious girl, she is really planning to use picking wild vegetables as money.

So, she worked very hard and was very motivated.

Chen Xiuqing couldn't do strenuous exercise, and couldn't do much work, so she followed Lu Lu out of the cellar, warmed up by the fire, and watched Lu Lu move sections of trees to the front of the cellar by himself, measure the size, and stretch the thread. , sawing, and hollowing out to make a thick honeycomb.

The two talked and talked.

Gradually, Chen Xiuqing also noticed that when Lu Lu was busy with the work at hand, he always unconsciously looked at where Chen Xiuyu was, his eyes were full of love, and even when he couldn't see, he sent Yuan Bao out to follow, for fear of What's going on in the woods.

Chen Xiuqing was not disgusted by Lu Lu's heart-warming behavior, and even thought: It would be nice if her sister really married Lu Lu.

Because, after coming to this basement, plus these days of contact, Chen Xiuqing found that Lu Lv was indeed different from the old men he knew, he was a person who could live a good life, and he was righteous, generous, and capable of living. He is a man, he can do things, and he is pretty good in every aspect.

However, he is the only male in the family.

As the old saying goes: elder brother is like father.

His father was gone, and as an elder brother, he had to support his own family.

There are many things in the family, and he has to make up his mind to make decisions.

It is even more prudent to deal with the lifelong affairs of one's own sister.

Ma Jinlan is weak-tempered, but when she thinks about it carefully, her cautious worries are all issues that should be considered.

So, while chatting, Chen Xiuqing asked Lu Lu a question: "Brother Lu, when you were an educated youth, which farm was it?"

"I used to stay in the sideline team of the Bird's Nest Island branch on the Wanda Mountain!" Lu Lu said casually without thinking too much.

"Wanda Mountain, it's quite far from our place. I've only heard about it, but I've never been there!"

While Chen Xiuqing was talking, she secretly said the name of the farm several times in her heart, keeping it firmly in her heart.

If the matter really develops to such a day, if you go to the farm and ask someone, you will know the ins and outs of Lu Lu.

"That's a good place. When I first arrived in Yichun, I met my former farm leader, Raymond, who came to pick up people to work on the farm. He wanted me to continue working on the farm, but I didn't agree. Wait until I settle down. Come down, find some time, I have to go back and see him, he is also a kind person to me."

Speaking of these, what Lu Lu couldn't forget the most was Lei Meng who took good care of him when he was on the farm.

So, Chen Xiuqing secretly wrote down a name again: Lei Meng.

The conversation between the two of them mostly revolved around Lu Lu's past on the farm during those years.

Even Lu Lu has developed such a neat and orderly living habit now, he also learned from Lei Meng. He is a demobilized soldier, and he is relatively close to Lu Lu, which has a great influence on him.

"Don't be in a hurry to go back. This is your first time here, so you have to stay for a meal anyway."

Throughout the afternoon, Lu Lu reluctantly took out two beehive buckets. Seeing that the time was almost up, he was going back to the cellar to cook and greeted Chen Xiuqing in advance.

"it is good!"

Chen Xiuqing thought about it, but she didn't refuse. She had heard from Chen Xiuyu that the food made by Lu Lv was delicious, so she planned to stay and taste it.

Seeing Chen Xiuqing's agreement, Lu Lu looked very happy. After returning to the cellar, he picked a lot of gown meat, mixed it with the fresh tenderloin of the brown bear, finely chopped it into simmered meat, blanched the water to remove the floating foam, took it out and added it. Various seasonings were added, and lard suet was added, and it was fried until fragrant, and fresh shepherd's purse was added to make stuffing.

Then Lu Lu made the dough and rolled the dough with a homemade rolling pin. With the help of Chen Xiuqing, he started making dumplings.

Chen Xiuyu carried a basket full of thorns and tender buds on her back, and led the four of Yuan Baoniang back to the cellar. When she got into the cellar, she saw the two elders getting together and making dumplings seriously, and she couldn't help it. Laughed.

But she was also amazed at Lu Lu's dexterity. He was able to wrap many finely wrinkled, flower-like dumplings, which were different from the traditional wrapping method and were very beautiful.On the contrary, Chen Xiuqing, who followed suit, was a native of Northeast China and was extremely clumsy.

For a while, she also became interested, washed her hands, and went to Lu Lu's side, clamoring to learn.

Chen Xiuyu wanted to learn, so Lu Lu was naturally willing to teach.

However, seeing Chen Xiuyu's thin cotton padded clothes covered with patches, picking thorny shoots on the mountain, making them damp, and a few dead leaves stuck to her hair, Lu Lu naturally reached out to help her remove them.

Chen Xiuyu was taken aback, and asked in a low voice, "What... are you doing?"

Lu Lu was stunned for a moment, knowing that his actions were indeed a little abrupt, but he had already stretched out his hand, so he could only smile coyly: "There are dead leaves in your hair, I will remove them for you."

Chen Xiuyu hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and blushed without speaking.

Under Chen Xiuqing's somewhat surprised gaze, Lu Lu removed the dead leaves from Chen Xiuyu's head, then turned around, and heated up the earthen stove to make the temperature in the cellar even higher.

It's back to making dumplings again.

However, the girl next to her exuded a faint girlish fragrance, which sprang into the tip of her nose from time to time, making Lu Lv always a little dazed, as if the time had returned to the time when she and Chen Xiuyu first met in the previous life.
