After crossing, start from the courtyard

Chapter 205 Chapter 196

The heavy snow is flying, and the world is dyed white. Even so, under the thick snow, we can still see lively life.

That is the life waiting for the coming spring to strive forward.

"Xue'er, is this pile of yourself?"

Mei Xue raised her head, looked at the man who was talking, nodded, and then pointed to another Snowman, "Not only Xueer, but also Mother, Uncle Yu, Uncle Erzhu, and Sister Xiaoling."

Although these snowmen were crooked, He Yu didn't think they were ugly.

"Snow is great, your little hands are numb from the cold, aren't you? Let's stop making snowmen."

He Yu picked up Xue'er's hand and rubbed it gently for her, took a few breaths, then took out the gloves from her pocket, and put them on for her herself.

"Although the snow is not cold, it is extremely cold when the snow melts!"

"Come on, let's go back to the house."

He Yu once told Mei Sanniang that if she wanted to face the facts and figure it out, he would cure her.

He Yu didn't force Mei Sanniang, because he felt that if you don't want to recognize each other, you will never wake up and pretend to be deaf and dumb.

"Xiaoyu, why are you taking Xue'er outside to play in such a cold day? Come here, sit around the stove to warm up."

Sitting in the back room, Xiao Ling waved to the two of them, "Xue'er, come here and I've reserved a seat for you."

Mei Xue happily ran to Xiaoling, "Sister Xiaoling, what did you eat in winter?"

Before Xiao Ling could speak, He Yu's voice sounded, "Eat dumplings, as well as chicken, duck and fish."

Mei Xue stared at He Yu with wide eyes after hearing this, "So much?"

The village chief smiled and said, "I think we used to eat tree roots, leaves, and skins when we spent the winter. Where did we get chicken, duck, and fish?"

"In the past, if we had fish bones, it would be good to eat. Don't talk about wild vegetables and bark, they are all rare foods! It's not like now, we still eat barbecue!"

A bunch of people sat together, warming up around the oven, and next to it, the oven had already been set up.

"Ingredients, Xiao Yu has already prepared them!" Xiao Ling took out the ingredients that had been prepared just now.

He Yu also took out a barbecue grill from the house, and everyone saw the grill and gathered around it.

"Xiaoyu, you spent a lot of money, right? This tin box looks so new, it must have never been used once!"

Xu Erzhu couldn't help but touched it with his hands. Generally, a few bricks or stones are used to pad the barbecue in the countryside, and then firewood can be piled underneath to make a fire, and a brick is used to make a pot on top.

If the conditions are slightly better, tiles are not used, but a specially built barbecue grill is used, which is also simple and convenient to use.

However, He Yu's grill looks clean, and He Yu is very strict about hygiene.

"Everyone sit down, I'll roast mutton for you here! Treat it as your own home!"

He Yu has always been warm and hospitable, and he is not stingy with his friends, and he will help if he can, and will find a way if he can't, unless he really can't help a little.

At this moment, Meixue walked up to He Yu and looked at He Yu's kebabs, with green peppers and eggplants beside him.

"Can Uncle Yu's eggplants and green peppers be roasted?"

"Is the food baked like this delicious?"

"Little guy, don't get too close, be careful to burn your hands, the iron on this grill cannot be touched, understand?"

Mei Xue subconsciously took a few steps back, for fear that her hands would be burned.

"Did you say that you used to barbecue at home often? Seeing your skillful technique, many of the neighbors must have tasted your technique, right?"

"Do they like Uncle Yu as much as they do now?"

While grilling, He Yu thought of those people in the courtyard. Although some of those people were thieves and everyone had their own ghosts, in fact, there were excusable reasons, and they were just for their own selfish desires.

It is normal for people to have selfish desires.

"The place where Uncle Yu lives is a courtyard house with many people, and each family lives in a small one-story house of more than 20 meters, but it is not as big as my current house, nor is it as big as yours."

Mei Xue was very shocked when she heard this, because in her eyes, the houses lived in the city were better than them, bigger than them, and well-equipped with all kinds of furniture, it was a warm little nest, but why did Uncle Yu say that, but she felt a little It's shabby, only more than 20 square meters, so their house is already considered big.

"But let me tell you a little secret, there is a very sensible and cute little black cat in our house! This kitten is a gift from me to an old lady, and this old lady is the oldest in our courtyard! So there is no one in the entire courtyard who does not listen to her, as long as the old lady comes forward, everyone will give a three-point gift, and they dare not do anything more in front of her."

Mei Xue listened with gusto and wanted to continue hearing some things about Uncle Yu.

"Well, then what?"

Listening to the conversation between the two, Xiaoling suddenly remembered something, what happened in the courtyard, I don't know how it has been for so long, how is everyone doing?Will it still be the same as before.

"Xue'er, that's all in the past. Playing now is much richer than in the courtyard. You see, there are mountains and rivers here, and there are crabs to catch, but not in the courtyard. Everyone is crowded into a very narrow room." In the house, you can't do anything, you can only sleep, and you can't exercise, like you here, you can not only run in the field alive and kicking."

"There must be a lot of children playing together! I have never been to other places, and I don't know if the houses outside are the same as ours. It is lively when everyone gathers together. The distance between houses next to each other is very close. Far!"

After all, Meixue still has some longing for the place where Yushu lived before, because she has never been to a big city, and she has never left the village. She doesn't know what it looks like outside?

"Can Xueer follow you back to the place where you live in the future? Xueer also wants to visit and meet more partners!"

Mei Xue knew that in this village, she would not make any more good friends, because she understood that these people looked down on their family from the bottom of their hearts, and sometimes everyone would become a fawning person because their family became rich, but she She doesn't like such people, and she doesn't want to associate with them, because she always remembers those who once disliked, beat and scolded her.

Although my mother said before that we should not hate others, we should live in peace with everyone, but she thinks that mother's statement is wrong, because those who dislike you, even if they change their views on you , Then from the bottom of my heart, I just buried this emotion in my heart.

Just like Wang Shi, she was very aware of what she did to their family and mother, Mei Xue saw it all in her eyes, and it was absolutely impossible for her to forgive Wang Shi.

Xueer listened quietly. She hoped that she could go to that strange place and make many good friends. Changing to a new environment is a new beginning.

Disdain the unpleasant and unhappy things in the past, and yearn for a better life again.

After an unknown amount of time, the skewers were finally ready. He put a bunch of skewers on the plate, sprinkled some peppers on them, and brought them to everyone's table.

"Come, everyone, come and taste my craft. I haven't baked barbecue for a long time, and I don't know if it tastes good. If you feel that the taste is a little heavier or a little lighter, just tell me and I will try it again. Go back to the furnace and rebuild!"

Eating other people's barbecue, drinking other people's water, no matter how unpalatable it is, it must be said to be delicious?Everyone tasted it, and it really lived up to expectations. The taste of eating barbecue is very delicious.

"Xiaoyu, your barbecue is much more fragrant than our roasted sweet potatoes. I used to think that it would be good to eat roasted sweet potatoes. I didn't expect to eat mutton here. Your mutton is not fishy at all."

The village chief ate a piece first, and the taste really made him want to give a thumbs up, "We have eaten raw mutton before, and the mutton is very fishy. This method like yours not only covers up the fishy smell of the sheep, but also enhances the taste of the sheep. Fresh!"

"Come on, everyone, come and taste that Xiaoyu's cooking is good, it's very delicious, and I've never seen such a big lump of meat!"

The village head really praised it, He Yu smiled and said, "You, just eat at ease, I will take care of my fill here!"

"Look at Xiaoyu, he is the real local tyrant of our village. He comes here as a guest, either big fish or meat, or all kinds of exotic fruits and snacks."

"Yes, Xiao Yu." Xu Erzhu said.

"By the way, Brother Erzhu, how is your marriage going? Your mother didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

Xu Erzhu shook his head helplessly, "That's the way it is. It's mainly Cuihua. In fact, I don't want to harm others. It's about the relationship. It's just my mother who arranged this marriage. I haven't met her many times since I grew up, and even though we all belong to the same village, we didn't say hello every time we met."

"I want to push this matter away, but my mother doesn't want to, so I still avoid her. Now I still live in the village chief's house, and my mother has come to the village chief's house several times. Every time I want to Drag me back, fortunately the village head is here, otherwise I would have gone back a long time ago, why would I still be eating skewers here?"

He Yu counted the time, and he has lived in the village chief's house for a long time.

"Then it's not a solution for you to hide like this all the time. You also have a day to marry a wife! Besides, Xiaoling and I have already agreed that we will get married at the end of this month!"

"Ah?" Everyone said in unison, not only that, everyone's eyes fell on He Yu and Xiao Ling.

"Xiao Yu, I thought you two were husband and wife, you haven't married yet?" Xu Erzhu looked at the two in shock.

"Er Zhu is right. Why do you two live in the same house before you get married? How offensive!" The village chief also echoed.

"Actually, we are in love with each other. It's just that the time to get married has been delayed for a while, and the village chief, you treat us like your own children! So I discussed with Xiaoling that you will host our wedding, according to the local regulations. The etiquette will be held!"

"Inviting the folks to have a meal together can also promote the relationship between neighbors."

After everyone listens, you look at me and I look at you. In fact, the key is to look at the village chief.

The village chief was silent, and at this moment, Mei Sanniang clapped her hands happily, "Yes! Marry!"

Mei Sanniang was as excited as a child, but the village chief was still indifferent. Everyone thought the village chief didn't want to.

"Village Chief, I think Xiaoyu is getting married. I think this is a good thing. Don't you worry that no one will collect your coffin in the future?"

"What did you brat say! Did I disagree? I was wondering where it would be better to choose the venue! If we want to hold a wedding in our village, the venue is very important. Where can so many people stand in Xiaoyu's house?"

At this time, everyone's suspense was finally relieved, and He Yu's face also unfolded.

"Then it's settled! Everyone is welcome to attend my wedding with Xiao Ling! By the way, the village head, I will trouble you to hire a few chefs, and I will be the head chef."

"Hey, how can you cook on your big day, no! You can just eat when the time comes!"

It's not that He Yu doesn't want to cook, but that the village head really doesn't allow it. In their village, people who are going to get married can't do these rough jobs.

"Don't worry, I will make clear arrangements for you when the time comes!"

"By the way, don't you tell the people in your family about this matter. It's a big deal anyway. Although I'm going to officiate the wedding for you, of course I am willing, but you have to inform your family. If you can accept Come here, it's even better!"

Why is it silent now.

For him, his family should be the only one.

Seeing this, Xiaoling quickly explained, "Xiaoyu's parents are both dead! There is no one in the family, only one elder brother, but it is not easy to come all the way, so we can just write a letter, and we will be there when the time comes." Held in the village!"

As soon as they heard the mention of sad things, everyone dared not speak.

The village chief was older, and apologized as an elder, "Xiaoyu, it's not that the village chief has a heart. I will definitely host this wedding for you. You can write a letter, but you must notify your brother in place. Anyway, it's you You can't be ambiguous about your lifelong event!"

"I understand, I will definitely write about the village chief."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, the village head continued, "It's a good thing to be a couple! I didn't expect that I could preside over a wedding in my lifetime. It's really a joy to congratulate. Everyone, eat meat quickly, and it won't be too late when the meat is cold." It's delicious, this mutton should be eaten while it's hot, otherwise it won't taste good when it's cold!"

Everyone started happily, one bite at a time.

He Yuzhu said before that if he can't attend his wedding with Xiaoling, he hopes to send a wedding photo as a reminder, because he doesn't know how long it will take to come back, maybe the child can run on the ground, but he must come back Look, the old lady likes children very much. Every day at the gate of the courtyard, she would see a group of children playing and laughing. It lasted all afternoon, and she would walk back slowly on crutches when it was time for dinner.

"Everyone eats and drinks well. If it's not enough, I'll keep baking!"

"I've prepared some seafood here, and I'll bake it for you to eat then!"

"Uncle Yu also has seafood!"

"Xiaoyu, the crabs I mentioned to you before are really insignificant and completely incomparable."

He Yu smiled, "Grasshopper meat is also meat! I want meat the size of a sesame seed too."

"There is a lot of oil and water in the meat! It tastes delicious!"

He Yu took a bite of the mutton skewers, leaving his mouth full of fragrance.
