Siheyuan starts from a better life

Chapter 281, Night

"Why didn't you sleep?" Yang Xiaomeng, who was watching the night, turned his head and saw Jiang Yan who was sitting next to him.

"Can't sleep, come out and have a look." Jiang Yan replied, looking up at the starry night sky.

In this era, the air pollution is not so serious, the sky is very clear, and the stars at night are much brighter.

"Brother Meng, some more." After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he handed him a delicate wine jug. There was not much wine in the jug, only about four taels.

"You boy, there are a lot of good things in your hand. You can see that this trip is like an outing. The things are well prepared." Yang Xiaomeng took over the flagon Jiang Yan handed over and looked at it over and over again.

After reading it, he opened the small jug and took a sip, then handed it to Jiang Yan.

But Jiang Yan didn't pick it up, but took out the same flagon from his pocket and took another sip.

In the distance, a wolf roar came, and Jiang Yan shrank his neck when he heard the sound.

"I'm scared." When Yang Xiaomeng said this, he stood up and added some half-dried pine wood to the inside of the stone house, and then added some firewood to the fire outside the stone wall. The temperature at night in the northeast in October is also quite low. .

In the room, there was a salty smell, which made people salivate.

Before, Jiang Yan didn’t know the purpose of this house. It wasn’t until Yang Xiaomeng told Jiang Yan tonight that few people in Northeast China use raw meat to make sausages, sausages, and ham. This should be mostly due to the climate. The temperature here It is relatively low, and the time in summer is relatively short, and even in summer, the meat will not go bad within a day, so the meat here is basically ready-to-eat.

However, they also have sausages processed by special means. These sausages are deeply influenced by Europe in style and craftsmanship. For example, the famous Bingcheng red sausage is imported from Europe.

However, hunters living in the forests in the northeast prefer to make air-dried meat or sausages. Jiang Yan and the stone house next to the place where they live are used to quickly make air-dried meat. The meat is cut into large strips and dried directly with pine wood. The air-dried meat produced in this way still has a smoky taste, but there are too many prey harvested today, most of which are good meat, and the rest must be thrown into the forest together with the internal organs.

According to Yang Xiaomeng, even if this is the case, it will take two days to preliminarily dry the hundreds of catties of meat, and the fire cannot be stopped in the middle.

As soon as Yang Xiaomeng's words fell, before Jiang Yan could speak, he heard the door of Diwozi open stubbornly, and looked back to see Wei Xiaojun came out with a gun.

"I just heard some movement outside and came out to take a look." After Wei Xiaojun said this, he sat next to Jiang Yan and Yang Xiaomeng with a gun in his hand.

"Come and have a drink." Seeing Wei Xiaojun sit down, Yang Xiaomeng handed him the flagon in his hand.

'Thank you old squad leader. 'Wei Xiaojun was not polite either, he took a sip from the jug that Yang Xiaomeng handed over to him.

"I heard that you also participated in the Anti-M and Aid C. Which unit were you in? Why do you think you changed jobs?" Yang Xiaomeng asked after taking the hip flask from Wei Xiaojun.

"Old squad leader, I am a divisional reconnaissance company in the Y Division of the C Army. I was injured during the fifth battle, and I had to change my job as a last resort."

Wei Xiaojun rolled up his trouser legs as he spoke, and by the light of the fire, Jiang Yan saw a scar like a centipede on his leg. Seeing such a scar, Jiang Yan was in awe of them.

There is no time in this world that is quiet and good, but someone is carrying the burden for you.

"Xiaoyan, the gun you invented is not bad. It is very good to use. It is better than any gun I have used before." Jiang Yan was caught off guard by Yang Xiaomeng's change of topic.

To hear him ask himself, it was obvious that they didn't want to talk about that heavy subject.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan answered, "Have the firearms been distributed to your troops?"

"Part of it was issued for testing purposes. The testing this time was extremely strict, and it was basically based on actual combat. However, the soldiers who participated in the testing generally reported that this gun is very good and reliable."

Hearing Yang Xiaomeng's words, Jiang Yan felt refreshed as if drinking a cup of sour plum soup in the dog days. You must know that this gun is the second life of a soldier, and the affirmation of the grassroots soldiers is better than anything else.

That night, the three chatted there for a long time, and Jiang Yan also heard a lot about the unknown and extremely cruel side of the battlefield from them. It was only at this time that he realized how happy life is today. It didn't come easily.

Far away in Forty-Nine City, Jiang Sirui and Sun Xinyi returned to the dormitory from the library after class.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the eldest sister of the dormitory say: "Si Rui, just now I saw your letter from the dormitory auntie, so I took it back for you and put it on your desk."

"Hey! It's your little lover who wrote to you again. One letter a month is really timely, but he hasn't come back after being away on business for so long!"

Sun Xinyi, who came in with Sirui, teased her.

When Jiang Sirui heard Sun Xinyi teasing her, he blushed and slapped her, then happily picked up the letter on the table, and hid in his bed alone to read it.

Inside the courtyard in Nanluogu Lane, He Yuzhu saw Qin Huairu push the door and walked in, so he asked, "Has grandma rested yet?"

"Take a rest, Zhuzi, what is the purpose of the meeting today? I heard that the front is very lively. Why is the Jiazhang family crying and making noise?"

"What else can there be? It's not that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in conflict! Don't say that this Jiazhang family is really nothing. The daughter-in-law here is pregnant, and she is ordered to do this and that. She doesn't care about others at all. Tian is just asking for gossip from the east and the west, and there is no one in our yard."

Ever since Jia Dongxu married his wife, this old Jia family has been quite lively. Brother Deng Lai is not the submissive character of Qin Huairu in the original book. When she was a child, her parents basically raised her as a boy at home. She was quite pungent, she just got married, and she was basically confronting Jia Zhang's head-to-head. The two had several fights, and only Jia Dongxu was caught in the middle and didn't know what to do.

Since Yi Zhongyi adopted the child, he hardly cares about the affairs in the yard. Even if it is managed, it is quite fair and fair. Jia Zhang's family has no backer, so it is much more restrained than in the original book.The atmosphere in the entire courtyard is much better than in the original book. It would be better without Jia Zhang, she is now recognized as a shit-stirring stick in the entire courtyard.

'Boss has been gone for almost half a year! ’ He Yuzhu asked Qin Huairu a question.

"It's been half a year, and Xu Damao has been gone for almost five months."

He Yuzhu clicked his mouth when he heard his wife's words. The days without Xu Damao's bickering were really boring, and he complained to Jiang Yan in his heart. Why didn't he bring himself over there at the beginning? The days without Xu Damao were really lonely like snow!
