The Siheyuan of the Young Educated Youth

Under the command of Huo Sheng, Huo Jun started his cooking career with the least difficult dishes: cooking porridge, stir-frying small river shrimps and mashed potatoes.

It was originally intended to be fried potato chips, but he cut the potato into pieces of uneven thickness and size, so they couldn't be cooked through and were about to become mushy, so he added a large bowl of water, and as time went by, they turned into mashed potatoes.

No matter how it bumps and bruises, it is finally cooked and edible.

It was Huo Jun’s first time cooking, and he felt quite accomplished.

He put it on the table and poured Huo Sheng a glass of wine.

"Brother, drink some, maybe it can drive away the cold."

Huo Sheng did not refuse and asked Huo Jun to pour himself a glass so that the two brothers could drink together.

Huo Jun was also a little itchy, but when he was at home, his parents wouldn't let him drink.

"Brother, is it okay?"

Huo Sheng, "It's just the two of us, what's wrong with that? You're already eighteen years old, you're an adult."

Huo Sheng had just joined the army and went out for a training march with the veterans. They climbed on ice and slept in the snow. It was really cold, and many veterans would sip wine, so Huo Sheng followed suit.

From that time on, Huo Sheng started drinking.

Much younger than Huo Jun is now.

He felt that as long as the person wasn't a heavy drinker and didn't drink to the point of causing trouble, it would be fine.

Huo Jun found that his brother was not that difficult to approach.

Huo Shengben didn't hate his younger siblings, he just didn't like his stepmother.

Grandma doesn't like his stepmother either.

He just wanted to stay away from them and avoid trouble.

Now that his younger brother came to visit him, he naturally would not turn him away.

The two brothers drank and chatted, and it was the first time in their lives that they talked so much.

Huo Jun, "Brother, the doctors at the factory hospital can't help, why don't you come back to Beijing with me?

There are many doctors in the capital, and they will definitely be able to cure you."

Huo Sheng also wanted to return to Beijing. He couldn't just waste his time like this. He had to get better.

He also has some concerns about his black market business.

But Qi Feifei hadn't come back yet, and he was afraid that if he went back, he would go in the opposite direction from Qi Feifei.

During these days in the hospital, he was worried that Qi Feifei wouldn't be able to find him when he came back.

Otherwise he wouldn't be discharged from the hospital so soon. He would have to be observed for a few more days in case the fever recurred.

It is common to have repeated colds and fevers.

He couldn't help but glance at the door from time to time.

"Let's talk about it in a few days. Maybe it will be fine after a while."

Huo Jun didn't force it, after all he could still accompany his brother for a while.

Huo Jun noticed that his brother was always watching the door. He couldn't help but ask,

"Brother, are you waiting for someone? Do you want me to help you find him?"

Huo Sheng, "No, drink, drink."

It's so late, he shouldn't come, right?

Seeing that he refused to talk, Huo Jun asked about his life again.

In his heart, his brother is a legendary figure and he is curious about everything about him.

Huo Sheng couldn't and didn't want to tell him about the army.

I told him about catching rabbits and pheasants. Children in general, especially boys, are interested in this.

After hearing this, Huo Jun was extremely envious.

If only his brother was better, the two brothers could go up the mountain to trap rabbits.

Huo Jun's eyes sparkled, "Brother, brother, hurry up, let's go trap the rabbit."

Huo Sheng teased him deliberately, "We don't lack your meat to eat now."

Huo Jun, "That's different, I made it myself. Growing up, I have only lived in school and military compound.

Brother, when you get better, will you take me to the mountains to play?"

It seemed as if Huo Sheng would be better tomorrow.

Lying on the kang at night, Huo Jun thought, it has been eighteen years, and only today did he truly feel that he was a man with a brother.

While the Huo brothers were toasting each other.

Qi Feifei was holding Lin Ge's arm, supporting her, and going to the production team's public house to listen to storytelling.

It turned out that a storyteller came to the production team and told the story of "The Yang Family Generals".

We agreed that the talk would last until before the New Year, and it would be two dollars a day.

No one had any entertainment, so after dinner, they all went to the public house to listen to the fun.

It is usually the men who go first, because the women still have to wash the pots and dishes and take care of the children.

Most women are tired after cleaning up and don’t go to listen much.

Qi Feifei and Lin Ge are different. They can get out of this by just pushing their jobs away.

You can go there every day to grab a seat.

Those who arrive late can only stand, and some people even bring a stool from home.

Wang Bin's arm hasn't healed yet, so he stays at home to look after the house every day. Pan Xiaowen only goes after he finishes washing the dishes.

The storyteller was a man in his forties, of medium height, neither fat nor thin, with ordinary features. It was really hard to find him in a crowd.

He had a good mouth and could tell stories for two hours every day without stuttering. He spoke, sang and played the sanxian.

Qi Feifei and Lin Ge have been fascinated by the story these days.

Sometimes, when we were telling a story, the battery ran out, so we just lit a candle, which did not affect everyone's enjoyment of the story.

Li Shanuer also comes to listen to storytelling every day.

Every day when he saw Qi Feifei, he would come closer and sit next to her.

Li Shanuer likes to eat snacks very much, and she often has fried soybeans, fried corn, fried melon seeds and hazelnuts in her pocket.

Whenever she saw Qi Feifei, she would give her a hand.

Qi Feifei also likes Li Shanuer very much. Apart from being mentally retarded, this girl is a really good girl.

Beautiful, hardworking and kind.

Today, Qi Feifei specially gave her a bag of mountain sorrel.

But I looked around the crowd several times and didn't see her.

Seeing that she kept looking around, Lin Ge asked her, "Who are you looking for?"

Qi Feifei, "Why hasn't the silly girl come yet?"

Lin Ge, "I don't think he'll come. I've already told you half of the story. Just listen and don't look for him anymore."

Pan Xiaowen said, "When I came, I saw her going to the back. I don't know what she did. I guess she won't come tonight."

Qi Feifei focused on listening to the storyteller and no longer looked for her.

When the storytelling ended, the crowd began to leave one after another.

Lin Ge was pregnant, and Qi Feifei didn't dare let her be squeezed, so she waited until most people had left before helping her walk back.

The moon was shining brightly, and the reflection of the snow allowed us to see the road.

Everyone was walking very fast and soon there was no one left on the road.

Pan Xiaowen walked slowly with the two of them.

Suddenly, there was a crunching sound of snow stepping on it from behind.

The sound was a little urgent and was getting closer.

Qi Feifei and the others turned around to look.

Li Shanuer was seen covering her stomach with one hand.

"Sister, sister, my stomach hurts so badly."

Qi Feifei was shocked. In her previous life, she should have been more than three months pregnant now.

This kind of thing cannot be made public.

"Pan Xiaowen, go talk to Aunt Li and ask her to come over."

Then he said to Li Shanuer,

"Come on, follow me back to the collective household first."

Doctor Yao's home is far away, and he doesn't always see patients in any particular clinic every day, so it's not easy to find him.

Qi Feifei didn't dare to let go of Lin Ge.

"Can you walk on your own?"

Li Shanuer: "Yes, but the pain is getting worse and worse. My crotch is wet."

Qi Feifei held one in each hand.

Several people quickened their pace and rushed towards the collective household.

When we arrived at the collective household, we let Lin Ge rest first.

He brought Li Shanuer into his room.

Lin Ge was a woman, so she probably guessed that it was a gynecological problem. Qi Feifei didn't want her to get involved, so she didn't follow.

Get on the kang, lie down with your clothes on, and pretend to sleep.
