curling smoke

Looking at Wang Hanwen who was carrying a pannier on his back, Gu Qiu was sure that something must have happened today that he didn't know about.But now is not the time to ask questions either.

When I returned to the village, every household was already filled with smoke from cooking.A few people have been busy all afternoon. Although they ate a few persimmons on the mountain, their stomachs are still growling with hunger.

After returning home to put things back together, Lin Yu'er washed her hands, went to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables, and went to the kitchen to prepare the family's dinner.

Seeing Lin Yuer's movements, Wang Hanwen followed, "Let me wash the vegetables for you."

Lin Yu'er was stunned for a moment when she heard Wang Hanwen's words, and then shook her head, "How can this work, gentleman far away from the kitchen, you are a scholar, how can you help me with washing vegetables!"

Wang Hanwen insisted, "Rules are dead, people are alive, don't stick to them, Xiaoqi and I eat at your house every day, so we should help." He snatched the vegetables from Lin Yuer's hand past.

Seeing this, Lin Yu'er had no choice but to give up and let him go.

Gu Qiu originally wanted to help Lin Yu'er wash the vegetables, but now Wang Hanwen took a step ahead, so he sighed and had no choice but to pack up the fruit that was brought back today.

The persimmons are big. The two baskets that Lin Dashan brought and Wang Hanwen's basket contained large persimmons, while the other baskets contained hawthorns and chestnuts.

Thinking of Xiaoqi's stealing hawthorns on the mountain this afternoon, Gu Qiuxin decided to use these hawthorns to make some candied haws for them.

Do it when you think of it, Gu Qiu recruited Gu Dong and Xiao Qi who were playing with Xiao Hua in the yard, motioned for them to come over, and said with a smile: "Do you want to eat candied haws?"

Gu Dong looked at the hawthorn piled up in the corner, and smiled: "Brother, are you going to make candied haws for us? That's great!"

"If you want to eat, then you two help me wash some hawthorns and skewer them." Gu Qiu nodded with a smile.

The two guys immediately cheered and rushed towards the hawthorn. They wanted to choose the biggest and reddest hawthorn.

Gu Qiu shook his head with a smile, and found out the white sugar left over from the last time the family made golden candied dates.Boiled syrup with an empty stove in the kitchen, and poured thick syrup on the hawthorn skewers that Gu Dong and Xiaoqi had made.

When he saw the hawthorn that Gu Dong and Xiaoqi handed over, Gu Qiu couldn't help laughing out loud. Not only did the two guys pick the biggest hawthorn, but they also stringed more than a dozen hawthorns on each string, which was really thick and thick. long.

Anyway, to do it, Gu Qiu made more, made more than a dozen skewers.Not only the two children have one, but several adults in the family also have a bunch.Candied haws were originally a toy for children, but it should be quite interesting for a few adults to hold and chew on them, so as to re-experience the fun of children.

"Don't eat it for now, wait for the meal to eat. If you eat too many snacks, you won't be able to eat at that time." Gu Qiu watched Xiaoqi's movement of holding candied haws skewers and trying to stuff them into his mouth, and ordered him to do so.

Xiao Qi and Gu Dong pouted, obviously a little unhappy, but they were still very obedient, obediently put down the candied haws in their hands.

After dinner, Gu Qiu stuffed several candied haws for Xiao Qi and Gu Dong and told them to go to Lu's house to find the little monkey and Xiao Xia to play with.For the remaining candied haws, several adults shared one each.

Lin Yu'er looked at the candied haws in her hand, and licked it slightly: "When I was young, my family was poor, and Dashan and I didn't eat candied haws very much. When we grow up, we don't like this kind of kid stuff anymore. I didn't expect it to be so now. Eat it. It's sweet and sour, and it tastes really good."

Lin Dashan looked at Gu Qiu and smiled softly, bit off a hawthorn, and said vaguely: "Yes, it's really delicious, you should take a bite too. There's nothing wrong with eating a little bit?"

I heard Gu Dong say that pregnant people are not suitable to eat too much hawthorn, so although Gu Qiu made a lot of candied haws, he didn't eat a single bite, but peeled the steamed chestnuts and ate them.

Gu Qiu looked at the candied hawthorn in Lin Dashan's hand, it was crystal clear, and looked very attractive. It didn't matter if he thought about eating a little bit, so he took a bite out of Lin Dashan's hand, biting off half of the hawthorn, it was sour and sweet The smell made Gu Qiu narrow his eyes happily.

Lin Dashan looked at Gu Qiu enjoying himself, smiled, and ate the remaining half of the hawthorn in one bite.

Wang Hanwen, who was sitting on the side, looked at the sweetness of Lin Dashan's young couple, and felt itchy in his heart, and quietly moved his body closer to Lin Yu'er. Didn't notice his actions.Wang Hanwen had no choice but to eat candied haws in silence.

Lin Dashan was eating candied haws, thinking about the persimmons and hawthorns piled up at home and asked, "Aqiu, should we still make these persimmons and hawthorns like the jujubes last time?"

Gu Qiu frowned, "Hawthorn is easy to solve, it can be made into preserved hawthorn, but persimmon is a problem. What do you think about making persimmons?"

"Persimmons. Can you make persimmons? I saw it in a grocery store in the town. A persimmon costs three Wen. In the countryside, only children and the elderly will occasionally buy a few. In the past, our family also celebrated the New Year. It would be great if only our persimmons could be made into persimmons." Lin Yuer was very excited when she heard Gu Qiu's words.

Regarding Lin Yuer's question, Gu Qiu did not immediately give a positive answer. He had only seen his grandfather do it twice before, and he had a vague impression in his mind.

Gu Qiu briefly told everyone what he remembered, but he was not sure.

"I think the method you remember should be correct. I saw the method of persimmons in a food miscellaneous book before, and the method is almost the same as what you said." Wang Hanwen recalled what he had read in the book.

Hearing Wang Hanwen's words, everyone was relieved. Gu Qiu's method and Wang Hanwen's method proved that there was basically no problem.

"Then let's go up to the mountain to harvest the fruits first, first take back the persimmons and then make persimmons." Lin Yuer said thinking of the persimmons up the mountain.

Wang Hanwen looked at the candied haws in his hand, smiled and said, "I have an idea. The children in the village should do everything by touching fish and trees. Tomorrow, I can ask some children in the village to help me pick persimmons. As for As for the reward, a few candied haws will do.”

As soon as Wang Hanwen's words came out, Lin Dashan's eyes lit up. If he asked the children to do it, he could make a few more bamboo drawers at home tomorrow for making dried persimmons.

Wang Hanwen looked at the expressions on everyone's faces and knew that everyone agreed, "I will bring some children from the private school over after school tomorrow, what do you think?" Wang Hanwen tried to ask.

"Okay." Both Gu Qiu and Lin Yu'er felt that Wang Hanwen's idea was good, and the children in the village rarely had the opportunity to eat candied haws on weekdays, so if they offered candied haws as a reward, they would all be willing.

The few people made an agreement, and the sky had completely darkened, and the crescent moon hung obliquely in the sky.Wang Hanwen led Xiaoqi back to the private school.

"Yu'er, Xiaoqi and I are going back first, and we will come back tomorrow." Wang Hanwen said to Lin Yuer with a smile while holding Xiaoqi.

Gu Qiu heard Wang Hanwen's words from afar, thinking why Wang Hanwen is so enthusiastic today.Thinking of what happened when he went down the mountain today, Gu decided to ask Lin Dashan carefully later.

@@@@@@@@@@@@

While sleeping at night, Gu Qiu finally asked the question that had been hidden in his heart for a long time: "Dashan, why do I feel that Wang Hanwen is acting weird today? It seems that it started when he went down the mountain. What happened when you went to pick up chestnuts today?"

Lin Dashan told Gu Qiu what he saw when he was picking chestnuts in the afternoon, and finally came to a conclusion: "I think this Wang Hanwen is a bit interesting to my brother."

Gu Qiu thought of Wang Hanwen's various behaviors today, and felt that Lin Dashan's guess was reasonable, "Well, it seems a little bit. Why, are you unhappy about this?"

Lin Dashan shook his head, "It's mixed. Wang Han is a good scholar, but I'm afraid he won't be willing to stay in our small village. I'm afraid he will leave in the future."

Seeing Lin Dashan's frown, Gu Qiu knew that Lin Dashan was worried about Lin Yu'er's future. Gu Qiu took Lin Dashan's hand and said, "I think Wang Hanwen is pretty good, and he's very gentle. Will he be in the future?" It doesn't matter if he stays in Jiangjia Village, what matters is that brother can be happy. Don't worry. Alas, we are also outsiders, what matters is brother Yu'er's own mind, let's wait and see what happens."

Just as Lin Dashan was about to speak, he heard Gu Qiu moaning all over his body. Lin Dashan's heart tightened, and he immediately sat up, looked at Gu Qiu and asked anxiously: "What's the matter, is your stomach uncomfortable? I'll go find Dr. He right away." .” He said, took the clothes next to the bed, put them on, and was about to leave.

Gu Qiu quickly grabbed Lin Dashan's hand, and said with a smile: "You see, you are in a hurry, just now the baby in your stomach moved a little bit, it's nothing, don't worry."

After hearing Gu Qiu's words, Lin Dashan's mood immediately changed from worry to joy, he put down the clothes he was holding and gently stroked Gu Qiu's slightly swollen belly, "Hehe, did the child really move, hehehe..."

Seeing Lin Dashan's stupid look, Gu Qiu felt speechless, but also very happy, "Now the child is almost five months old, and it is normal to move, this is the sign of a healthy child."

Lin Dashan nodded happily, and gently pressed his face to Gu Qiu's stomach to feel the movement of the child in his stomach, but unfortunately, he didn't know if the child wanted to play hide-and-seek with him but just stopped moving.Lin Dashan curled his lips a little sad.

Gu Qiu smiled and tapped Lin Dashan's forehead with his hand, and said with a smile: "Look at your anxious look, I'll call you when the child moves next time."

The small worries in the hearts of the couple were all disturbed by the child's disturbance.The two of them also figured it out. As younger brothers, it would be better for them to wait and see what happened to their elder brother. What's more, the matter between Wang Hanwen and Lin Yu'er hadn't been written off yet. Now it's just Wang Hanwen's unrequited love, what is Lin Yuer's mind? How no one knows.
