Chapter 4

4 Attention

Chen Miao knew that he would definitely not take him there. It was okay. He said he would leave in one month. Then he would go there, which would be more convenient.

Shen Jianfeng drank hot water and the remaining boiled water scalded the cornmeal. "You can paste the cake yourself in a while, I'll leave."

Chen Miao was left at home. Only then did she relax and sat in front of the stove. She had sweated all the way. After a while, she felt like she was ice on her back. It was so cold.

A bag of pure milk appeared in my hand, but it was not cold. I drank it directly. Why did ordinary milk taste so fragrant? It tasted like the first time I drank milk when I was a child.

Then I felt much more comfortable. Although this house is quite dilapidated, it is clean and there is nothing to clean up. The temperature is still quite low now, so I have nothing to do. I lie on the kang and tidy up my mood.

The man became comfortable after leaving, but it was inconvenient for him to live here as a girl. However, the house I saw had no courtyard walls at all, so I couldn't be too abrupt.

I don’t know when the man will come back, but after lying for a while, I feel itchy all over his body, so I will go to burn the fire. It should be almost noon. When I go to the county town, I must find a place where I have time and adjust my watch. It’s so uncomfortable to have no time.

I boiled a large pot of hot water, took out two basins, one big and one small, and chose a lot of shampoos, but they were all too fragrant. This is absolutely not possible. When I touched my greasy hair, I could only use dishwashing liquid.

After washing it for an hour, I finally washed it. I really didn’t have the courage to wear it in such a piece of clothing. I still found a piece of clothing that I brought to keep warm. However, I couldn’t see the clothes I brought, so I had no choice but to go through the closet, and there was no clothes inside. This was a dilemma.

I gritted my teeth and washed my underwear and outerwear.

I tinkered for about three hours. I cleaned myself up and my underwear was not dry yet, but it should be fine at night.

I was hungry, so I took out steamed buns, ham sausage and milk, and had a nice meal.

After eating, I saw that the time was almost over, so I put on a cotton coat to cook. The cotton coat was also very hard and no longer kept warm.

Farmhouse meals are not a problem for a child who grew up in the countryside.

Put a rice sieve in the pot, then find the pickles, cut them out, cut them into pieces and stir in cornmeal.

It took half an hour to smell the smell of the rice before I stopped.

There was nothing at home. After thinking about it, I still put on a headscarf and went out. There were wild vegetables in the yard, although they were too small, but they were tender. I dug it out from the yard, which was just a handful of them, but this was already good, at least there was a meal.

Wash it clean and put it aside. There is a base fire in the stove, so you don’t have to worry about the corn cakes being muddy.

It was almost dark outside, and I don’t know when the man would come back.

Let’s talk about Shen Jianfeng, he ran all the way and went straight to the cattle city after he arrived at the county town.

In fact, what my wife said was right. She just needs a small donkey when she lives at home. The other animals are big, so she is afraid that she can't control them. At noon, there are fewer people in the animal market, and there are still some. She can't choose animals, but she can find an older family.

"Uncle, I want to buy a little donkey."

"Do you want to buy something that can be used now or is it a small one?"

"It can be used in spring. I also need a donkey cart."

"Then go home with me and go pick it." The livestock dealer's house is in the county town.

Shen Jianfeng didn't understand, "Young man, I'm so old, I won't fool you. This little donkey has just been a year and a half. Honestly, I definitely don't have the energy to do this work, either as cows or mules or horses."

"Uncle, my wife uses it, and the little donkey is suitable."

The old man didn't say anything. He put a donkey cart on it and tried it.

"Uncle, give two baffles for the donkey cart. Otherwise, there would be no way to pull Qiu."

Finally, I spent six yuan here to drive a car to the blacksmith shop to match the donkey with a condom, a waiver, and a sickle, a hatchet, and a scissor. I saw a dagger that looked pretty good and bought it, so I bought it. My wife only prepared all the living utensils by herself.

Shen Jianfeng smiled bitterly and couldn't help spending the thirty dollars he brought back.

When I arrived at the grain and oil shop, I cruelly bought two kilograms of soybean oil and fifty kilograms of corn kernels as seeds.

I also bought 50 kilograms of sorghum rice. I saw that wheat was very good, so I bought 10 kilograms. I really didn’t have much money in my hand, so I had to keep some for her.

I drove to the cloth shop and bought the cheapest coarse cloth. I got a thick ginger cloth, but my wife didn't bring anything to marry her. I thought it was probably the old clothes for my younger brother and sister.

I went to the grocery store to buy salt and lamp oil, which is an indispensable thing.

Now I really can't buy it anymore, so I'd better hurry home by rushing the bus.

Chen Miao took the pancakes out of the pot, but they were still placed on the rice sieve. I don’t know when the man will come back. Just burn the fire when it is cold.

"Shen Jianfeng, is Shen Jianfeng at home?"

Chen Miao heard someone calling outside, thinking that the villagers still called men's name?

I hurriedly tied my headscarf and went out, and I saw two men outside.

He doesn't look like a bad guy, "Shen Jianfeng is not at home, he's going to the county town, but he should be back soon."

"Sister-in-law, right? We are Shen Jianfeng's comrades-in-arms. After receiving the notice, we asked us to return to the team immediately."

Chen Miao was a little excited when he heard this. Are you leaving? That's pretty good. No one is by his side, so it's good to give himself time to adapt, otherwise he would have to find a way to get rid of him.

"Then he hasn't come back yet, otherwise you guys will come in and wait?"

The two knew that Shen Jianfeng had come back to get married, and there were no other relatives at his family. Just a young wife was at home, so it was hard to say that the two men went in.

"Sister-in-law, let's wait outside."

Chen Miao remembered that this era is quite strict with men and women getting along.

"It's OK."

After Chen Miao finished speaking, he entered the house and thought that the man was about to leave. He forced himself and acted well. Then he couldn't leave hungry.

When I entered the house, I quickly changed into clean clothes and came out to set the fire. The cakes in the pot were not enough.

Scoop out all the remaining corn flour to boil the soup noodles. Add all the pickles into the corn flour and paste them with pancakes.

A full pot, this time I didn’t use a rice sieve, so I slowly burned it on low heat to save the batter.

The pancakes were ripe again, but Shen Jianfeng still didn't come back. Both of them wanted to leave and go to the county town to find him, so they would definitely meet him on the road.

"Shuangxi, please wait. You must go to the county town to buy something for your wife, and you will still have to come back then."

Chen Miao knew that the cake was cooked, so he hurriedly put it out and washed the pot and boiled water. He was not able to make soup, so it was okay to drink hot water.

Just after the water boiled, she heard the movement outside, and hurried out.
