The little sweetheart of the rough family

Night fell silently.

The coolness comes from the direction of Xiaocang Mountain with the cool breeze, crosses the Cang Lake, and blows to the small courtyard.The wind carries the coolness of pine branches and the fragrance of lotus leaves, which mixes with the fragrance of flowers in the small courtyard to form an intoxicating coolness.

The stone lamps in the yard lit up one after another, covering the whole small courtyard in a thin halo.

The stove was newly built by Zhao Hou in the afternoon. It is simple and convenient. It is only piled up with a few flat stones, and an iron block for barbecue is placed on top of it.

There is some charcoal piled on one side, and iron skewers with food on the other side.

Beans,? Peppers, leeks,? Potato chips, etc. Vegetarian dishes,? The table is covered with gauze meat, pork belly,? Chicken wings, crispy bones, the most rare thing is that Zhao Hou went to the mountains in the afternoon,? The traps laid a few days ago caught a lot of things.

Zhao Hou secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

He has been used to living a hard life since he was a child, and he is most afraid of having no money in his pocket. Cheng Yanping bought those things today, and almost wiped out his family's wealth. When the market opens tomorrow, he will eat up all the fur Rabbits and pheasants are sold, and they can be exchanged for some silver.

Cheng Yanping was not idle all afternoon. First, he went to the Huichun Hall to learn medical skills from He Changming. After returning, he was busy sorting and saving the things he bought, embroidered with complicated patterns, and spread the brightly colored carpet on the bed. side.

He didn't dare to put the good-looking dishes and glass cups into the kitchen, for fear that they would be broken by Zhao Hou's carelessness, so he specially found an empty box and put them away carefully.

As for those colorful gems and spices, they were also put into the cage if they were not needed for a while.

After finishing everything, he clapped his hands and walked out of the house. The sky was about to get dark. There were beads of sweat on the man's face, the hair on his sideburns was wet on his cheeks, and his eyes were extraordinarily bright in the twilight. .

Zhao Hou was stunned for a moment, paused for a while before chopping vegetables, and then exclaimed expressionlessly.

Cheng Yanping didn't notice anything unusual, and ran towards him directly, grabbed his hand and checked it.

"Such a big person? Why are you so careless? Let me see where the injury is?"

"I don't know if the injury is serious or not."

"Stay still, I'll go back to the house and get some medicine to stop the bleeding."

After saying that, she turned around and ran into the house, but when the man stretched out his long arms, he was hooked into his arms.

As soon as Cheng Yanping raised his head, he met Zhao Hou's smiling eyes, and immediately became angry, punched his arm a few times, and said angrily: "You are so annoying, you know that I will be worried, but what do you do to scare me?" ?”

Zhao Hou lowered his head and pecked lightly on his lips.

In fact, anyone can see the flaws and know that he is pretending, but Cheng Yanping fell into the trap. He likes to see him nervous.

"You have lost all the money in the family. I'm asking for some interest in advance."

The weather was hot, and the man's embrace was even hotter, like a furnace, scorching every inch of his body.

Cheng Yan glanced at him plainly, and deliberately said angrily: "I also make money myself, the big deal is that I won't spend your money in the future."

How could Zhao Hou be willing, he hugged him even tighter, and rubbed against his ear.

"I spend my money for you. You can spend it however you want!"

Cheng Yanping smiled again, and wrapped his hands around the man's thin waist.

"Really?"

The two were talking in the yard when suddenly there was a "Huh" sound from the door.

The ending sound is very long, full of dislike.

"Godfather, isn't it hot when you hug each other on a hot day?"

Huahua's eyes were full of puzzlement.

She has always been afraid of the heat, and when it comes to summer, she is most annoyed by others touching her. The little fat guy from the dumpling shop owner always likes to pinch her when he has nothing to do. She has taught her a lesson many times, but she can't change it.

Cheng Yanping blushed enough to drip blood, while Zhao Hou was indifferent, "Why are you here? But mother-in-law has something to do?"

Huahua shook her head and went straight into the yard.

Rhubarb was very happy to see an acquaintance, and walked over wagging his tail, Huahua stroked its head, while Rhubarb showed an expression of great enjoyment, and lay down curled up at her feet.

"Godfather, what delicious food are you going to do? I want to eat too!" Zhao Hou originally wanted to chase away people, but he prepared these things for Cheng Yanping, but Cheng Yanping responded with a smile up.

"When I was in the middle of the capital, every winter, when there was nothing to do in the snowy days, the younger generations of the family would gather in the warm pavilion to barbecue and eat. It was the happiest."

Huahua has never been out of Longmen Town in Dalian for such a long time. When Cheng Yanping talked about the things in Beijing, his eyes showed yearning, and he pestered him to tell a lot about the past in Beijing.

While talking, Cheng Yanping cut the watermelon and brought out some dried fruit preserves.

Although Zhao Hou had never grilled these things before, his cooking skills have grown in the past two years, and he also roasted hares, lamb, etc. in the army. He sat in front of the temporary barbecue table and concentrated on roasting things, or Brush with oil, or sprinkle some chili powder, cumin powder.

Looking up occasionally, Cheng Yanping was sitting at the stone table talking to Hua Hua.

A halo of yellow light gathered around the man's body, making his appearance more and more like a fairy. The man either laughed or lowered his eyes, every frown and smile were scenery.

Under the stone table, Rhubarb and Xiao Hei were lying on both sides of Cheng Yanping like guardians on the left and right.

The night is getting darker, a full moon hangs in the sky, and the clouds are floating.

Zhao Hou had never felt such a feeling in his heart.

Satisfy.

It's not the feeling of having food to satisfy your hunger when you're hungry, but the feeling that your whole heart is softened into a puddle of water.

Huahua and Cheng Yanping didn't know what they said, they both laughed.

Laughter blew out of the courtyard along the wind.

The chicken wings on the grill were bubbling with oil. Zhao Hou turned the chicken wings over and brushed some oil on them. Seeing that the chicken wings turned golden, and sprinkled some seasonings, the spicy taste came out .

Cheng Yanping came here smelling the fragrance.

Zhao Hou looked at his wrinkled nose and smiled very fondly.

"I think you are a dog, like rhubarb, I just roasted it, and you came."

Cheng Yanping snorted at him, took the baked chicken wings, and Huahua ate them.

Just now the grilled chicken wings were a little hot, Cheng Yanping pouted his mouth and blew vigorously on the chicken wings, he couldn't wait to eat it before it cooled completely, he took a small bite, and gasped for breath.

Baked chicken wings are drier and more flavorful than grilled ones.

With the aroma of cumin powder, although it is spicy, it can also stimulate people's appetite.

After all, Huahua was young, so she ate some casually, and then began to feel sleepy.

Seeing her like this, Cheng Yanping hurriedly called Zhao Hou to send Huahua back. As soon as he walked to the door with her in his arms, Grandma Sun was also looking for her.

"This girl, I don't know how to go home when it's dark, I guess it's at your house..."

After Zhao Hou sent the two of them home, he was about to continue baking when he came back, and saw that Cheng Yanping had already taken out the newly bought glass cup and poured wine.

The glass cup has a peculiar shape, and it is especially beautiful when paired with blood-red wine.

Seeing him coming, Cheng Yanping brought a cup and handed it over.

"Try it too, this wine is delicious."

Zhao Hou sniffed it, only to feel that it smelled strange.

When Cheng Yanping saw it, he hurriedly urged: "Just try it. Really, this wine is different from our wine here. It is said that it is made from grapes."

Seeing this, Zhao Hou raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.

The entrance is a bit bitter.

"taste not good!"

Cheng Yanping also took a sip, "It's fine if you don't like it, I'll drink it by myself."

The two were talking when they heard a hearty laugh from outside the door.

Although he didn't see anyone, Zhao Hou knew who it was.

The Hu merchant yesterday was named Barang.

Balang drank a lot of wine with shopkeeper Wang at noon, stared for a while in the afternoon, and regained his energy at night, but Longmen Town is no better than other places, there are places to play all night long.

People in the small town rest early, and now the whole town is completely dark except for three or two houses with lights on.

When he was wandering in the street, he suddenly smelled a fragrance in the air, so he searched for it.

"Whose house do I know? So it's your house! Also, in a small place like Longmen Town, few people would barbecue to eat. I don't think you two have a romantic relationship. When we were at home, we often had dinner at night. Burn a bonfire, roast whole sheep, roast suckling pig, and everyone sings and dances around the bonfire until late at night.”

He came in and sat down on his own, looked at the night sky and continued: "The night sky in Mobei is vast and mysterious, you must go and see it if you have the chance."

Cheng Yanping loved to read books when he was in Beijing, and there are many unofficial histories recorded in it. Although he has never seen the scenery of Mobei with his own eyes, he has always been yearning for it. Hearing this, he went into the house to get some wine.

The wine was left over when the two got married, and it has been kept at home.

People in Mobei drink when they know how to drink water. Balang raised his head and took a sip, smacking his mouth and saying, "Burn the knife!"

There is wine and meat.

Naturally, they are friends of the Mobei people.

Cheng Yanping asked him many things, such as what he saw on the road, business matters, Mobei and even the places further west of Mobei, all kinds of strange things, countless.

Burning knives is fierce.

Even Baron, who can drink, became a little tipsy after drinking another pot.

He stammered: "If... If you want to talk about anecdotes and strange things, then... then you must count the Great Snow Mountain in the depths of Mobei. , rumors..."

He burps.

"It is rumored that there is a deep pool on the top of the mountain. Although the weather is cold, it will never freeze. There are rumors that this is the water of life conceived by heaven and earth. If you drink it, both men and women will be fertile and continue new life."

Cheng Yanping loved hearing these ghost stories since he was a child, and his eyes lit up when he heard them.

"Is this rumor true?"

Zhao Hou at the side brought over the roasted leeks and eggplants. The eggplants were roasted whole, cut open and put in minced garlic. The aroma wafted out.

"It's just something to lie to children, Yan Yan, don't listen to his nonsense."

Balang slapped his palm on the stone table, and the dull sound made Cheng Yanping jump.

Zhao Hou's face darkened, and his whole body tensed up.

Balang burped again, "You... what do you know? There are gods living on the Daxue Mountain. In the past, there was a barren woman in the tribe. Later, she went to the Daxue Mountain and drank the water in the pool. Three children were born in succession. And..."

He paused.

"Also, many years ago, men from other tribes drank that water, and later... later gave birth to children..."

As far as burning the knife, Baron's story seems to be endless.

Hearing that Cheng Yanping was sleepy and almost fell down, Zhao Hou asked to chase him away, but Cheng Yanping refused, Zhao Hou had no choice but to give up, he would have dozed off and bumped into each other.

Zhao Hou hugged him and sat in his arms.

Cheng Yanping nestled in his arms like a little bird, next to his ears was Balan's cadenced voice when he was telling stories.

It was midnight.

The coolness is even worse.

Seeing that the person listening to the story had fallen asleep, Balang got up and said goodbye. Before leaving, he said, "Mr. Cheng and I hit it off right away. If he wants to send a letter, I'd be happy to help."

Zhao Hou hugged the person in his arms and raised him up.

"Didn't you say that the south is in chaos?"

Baron smiled.

"Cats have cat ways, and rats have mouse ways. If I say it can be done, then of course it can be done."

Zhao Hou froze for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"Thank you so much!"

Baron waved his hand and disappeared into the night.

"You and I will meet again!"
