As the sky was getting darker, the chickens and ducks looking for food outside consciously returned to their cages, and the people in Chen's house slowly dispersed. Chen Qianjin closed the courtyard door, so that when those people came over after dinner and saw them closed the door, they would know that they were listening at night. It's out of radio.

Chen Yongfei took eight bowls, and Chen Jinjin told him about Xu Kongshan's temporary residence in his letter.

Xu Kongshan is not here today, he went to the county town with Uncle De, there is a medicine market over there, if all goes well, they can sell all the medicine materials on hand, and the price is higher than the price offered by the town.

After earning this sum, the master and apprentice can live a good year in peace.

The appearance and properties of the medicinal materials concocted by Uncle De are top-notch, and the two of them were wrapped up within a short time after they opened the stall.But Uncle De was not in a hurry to leave. It was Xu Kongshan's first time rushing to the medicine market, and he took people around to let Xu Kongshan learn a lot.

During the period, when he encountered medicinal materials that Xu Kongshan had never seen before, Uncle De stopped and explained them carefully to him.

They not only sell, but also buy.Restricted by geographical conditions, there are many medicinal materials that do not grow in the mountains of Ping'an Village, such as the naked flower and purple bead leaf in Uncle De's hand.

"This is used to stop bleeding, relieve pain, reduce swelling and disperse blood stasis, and the curative effect is better than the ones you took before."

Xu Kongshan carefully wrote down every word Uncle De said. Although Uncle De had not formally taught him to cure diseases and save lives, he already had a wealth of theoretical knowledge in simply treating common injuries and ailments with herbs.

The two of them wandered around until noon, and ate something casually on the side of the street. They didn't get on the return bus with their things until they gathered in the afternoon.

The last medicine collection at the end of the year will take longer than usual.

Back in Ping'an Village, Uncle De gave Xu Kongshan half of the proceeds from selling medicines, and asked him to stop collecting and processing medicines for the next four days and rest his bones at home.

After a year of busy work, I should always let myself have a relaxing day for two days. If the strings are tense, they will break, and so do people.

"I know Uncle De." Xu Kongshan feels that his life is very relaxed now. He has Chen Wan, clothes, and food, and no one scolds him, and no one makes him do things he doesn't like. How happy he is .

Uncle De's cooking skills are average, and he knew that Xu Kongshan ate well at Chen's house, so he didn't let him eat at home.

Xu Kongshan knocked on the courtyard door, and Zhou Mei put down the soup bowl: "Yongfei, it should be your Dashan brother who is back, go and open the door."

"Brother Dashan." Chen Yongfei was taken aback when he saw Xu Kongshan for a moment, he didn't see Xu Kongshan for half a year, how could he seem to be a different person, if it wasn't for his iconic height, Chen Yongfei would not have dared to recognize him so quickly.

People are affected by the environment. Xu Kongshan's life in Xu's family is very different from that in Chen's family. The change of spirit and spirit will naturally give people different feelings.

"Yongfei is back, when did you arrive?" Xu Kongshan carried a pannier on his back, which contained the insect repellent given to him by Uncle De and some naked flowers and purple pearl leaves, just in case when he went up the mountain.

"I arrived in the afternoon." Chen Yongfei looked at Xu Kongshan's figure enviously, "Brother Dashan, go and wash your face, you can eat now."

Chen Wan rubbed his sore eyes. Tomorrow's New Year's Eve, the Chen family had a banquet, so he probably wouldn't be free, so he spent most of Chen Yongfei's clothes in the afternoon.Because he was so focused, he didn't even know about Yang Erni's visit.

Zhou Mei and the others didn't want Chen Wan to be upset, so they didn't mention it to him, pretending it never happened.

The radio was not turned off during the meal, and Chen Yongyang sat on the stool feeling uneasy as if there were nails growing on his buttocks. Chen Yongfei raised his hand and pressed the power of the radio: "Concentrate on eating!"

Originally, Chen Qianjin planned to turn off the radio before eating, but it was Chen Yongyang who made a fuss and refused to turn it off.When Chen Yong flew out, Chen Yongyang didn't even dare to fart for a moment.

Chen Yongfei really knows how to beat people if he is disobedient.

Regarding the way the two brothers get along, Zhou Mei and his wife are happy to see it succeed, although Chen Yongfei is often fierce to Chen Yongyang, in fact they have a good relationship.

Chen Wan slept with Chen Yongyang for less than a night, and was sent to Xu Kongshan's bed by his extraordinary sleeping posture, but Chen Yongfei slept in the same bed with Chen Yongyang for several years without expressing dislike.

Definitely brothers.

After dinner, Zhou Mei and the others listened to the radio and chatted outside. Chen Wan finished the rest of the clothes and let Chen Yongfei receive the new clothes before going to bed.

"Yongfei, try it on and see if you like it."

Chen Wan's words were not interrogative sentences, he was 100% confident that Chen Yongfei would like the clothes he made.

Gray is a color that is very easy to create a sense of metal and future technology. Chen Wan boldly used the concept of super-age, exposing the white stitching lines to form a contrast with the gray fabric.The version has a strong industrial flavor, and it is ingeniously integrated with today's era.

The word cool is not popular now, Chen Yongfei racked his brains for a long time but couldn't figure out what words to use to express his excitement, and finally he just turned it into one sentence: "Thank you, uncle, I really like it!"

"Pants will be made for you in two days." Zhou Mei bought enough fabric for a complete set. The design of Chen Yongfei's trousers is also relatively complicated, and they will not be able to make them well in a while. Chen Wan plans to make them for Chen Yongfei in the third and fourth grades.

Chen Yongfei still said don't worry, let Chen Wan take his time, he was very satisfied to receive the new clothes before the first day of the new year.

"Are you tired?" Xu Kongshan hugged Chen Wan, the thick quilt cut off the cold air, Chen Wan's body was covered with Xu Kongshan's temperature.

"Well, I'm a little tired." Chen Wan buried her head in Xu Kongshan's neck. The constant study and making clothes these days really made him feel exhausted.This body is much weaker than his original one. Back then, he spent several nights in a row in order to catch up with the design, and he was still able to talk and laugh at the press conference.

It's all because the winter is too cold. When spring comes, he will definitely put exercise on the agenda.

Xu Kongshan patted Chen Wan's back lightly, under the palm was the young man's raised spine.

The posture of the two is very intimate, but Xu Kongshan has no intention of being charming at all, his six children are too thin.

Chen Wan grabbed Xu Kongshan's skirt and quickly fell asleep. Xu Kongshan maintained a posture that would allow him to sleep comfortably, wondering if there was any way to make up for Chen Wan's body.

The food in the Chen family is not bad, but Chen Wanruo's foundation is too weak, so he has to make up for it slowly.

Xu Kongshan had a bunch of herbs for nourishing qi and tonifying deficiency in his mind, and he was going to go back to the mountain to look for them. He asked Uncle De to help prepare them and fry them for Chen Wan to drink.

"Dashan, are you going to enter the mountain?" New Year's Eve, the last day of [-] in the old calendar, Zhou Mei got up earlier than usual, and pushed the door to see Xu Kongshan wearing old clothes for chopping firewood.

"Aunt Zhou." Xu Kongshan took down the hatchet on the wall, "I'm going to go around the mountain, and I won't come back to eat at noon."

Zhou Mei sighed: "Didn't you poke your aunt's heart when you said that?"

Xu Kongshan's footsteps were slightly stagnant when he turned around, Zhou Mei saw through his thoughts, he still regarded himself as an outsider.

The morning was as quiet as the night, and Zhou Mei's gentle voice was sour: "Dashan, Auntie remembers that when Auntie married into the Chen family, you were only over one year old and not as tall as Auntie's waist. After all these years, Auntie has watched you grow up." Yes. Auntie has the cheek to ask you, in your heart, is Auntie your closest elder?"

"Yes." Xu Kongshan replied without hesitation, "My aunt and Uncle Chen are the closest elders in my heart."

Xu Kongshan will remember all the kindness of the Chen family to him, and he will definitely respect them like his parents in the future.

"Okay, my aunt can feel at ease with your words." Zhou Mei smiled happily, "Then you listen to my aunt, don't go into the mountains today, stay at home, and let's have a reunion dinner together."

Xu Kongshan put the hatchet back: "I'll help my aunt light the fire."

"Don't worry, go and change your clothes first." Zhou Mei picked up the kettle, the water in the small pot had already cooled down overnight, and the hot water left in the kettle was just used to wash her face.

Xu Kongshan entered the room and changed his clothes. He relaxed his footsteps and movements. Chen Wan turned sideways with half of his face buried in the pillow, so he didn't disturb him.

Zhou Mei washed her face and lit the firewood. Seeing that although Xu Kongshan had changed his clothes, they were still old, but they were a little better than before: "Why didn't I change Liuer to make that body for you?"

Xu Kongshan tore off the hem of his clothes: "I'm afraid it will get dirty, so I'll wear it tomorrow."

Tomorrow is the new year.

Zhou Mei also didn't wear the padded jacket Chen Wan made for her, new clothes, but she couldn't bear to waste them in the kitchen.She is helping Fourth Uncle Chen, so it's okay to be careful. Today she is the main force in the Chen family's kitchen, and she can't get her clothes dirty without being careful.

After preparing the family's breakfast, Zhou Mei went to ask Chen Yongyang and the others to get up. When they entered the room, half of Chen Yongyang was lying on top of Chen Yongfei, making his brother frown, maybe he was having a nightmare about being crushed by a big stone in his chest.

Zhou Mei moved the younger son's feet away from the older son in a funny way: "It's time to get up and eat."

Last night there was a radio, Chen Yongyang was so excited that he refused to sleep for a long time, and then he got his brother's slap on the butt before he honestly entered the room, rubbing his eyes and not wanting to get up.

Chen Yongfei woke up when Zhou Mei made a sound. He stretched his hands out of the quilt to cool off for a while, and then put his hands on the back of Chen Yongyang's neck.

"Hiss!" Chen Yongyang was so cold that he shrunk into the quilt. Chen Yongyang scratched the soles of his feet. The two brothers were laughing and joking, and soon they woke up.

Compared with them, the movement of the Chen Xing sisters getting up was full of warmth.Chen Xing whispered to her sister in Chen Lu's ear, and when Chen Lu opened her eyes, she put the warm clothes under the blanket on Chen Lu's hands: "Get up."

Chen Wan was woken up by Xu Kongshan. He stretched his waist, and wrapped his arms around Xu Kongshan's neck in a daze: "I'm so sleepy, I don't remember."

Xu Kongshan picked up Chen Wan through the quilt, and let him lie softly in his arms: "Aunt Zhou has been cooking for a while, and guests will come later, Liu'er is good."

Xu Kongshan's tone seemed to be coaxing a child, Chen Wan closed his eyes forcefully: "I'm awake."

After Chen Yongfei came back, there were exactly eight of them, and a table of Eight Immortals was surrounded by his own house alone. No wonder they had to go out to borrow tables and stools.

The first wave of guests came earlier than expected. Before ten o'clock, Chen Sishu and Chen Chunlai came to the door with candies.

Chen Qianjin brewed a cup of tea. The tea leaves were bought by Zhou Mei at the market, and the names were uniformly called Spring Tea.

Chen Yongfei turned on the radio, guessing that they came here early to listen to this.

Zhou Mei was busy in the kitchen, while Chen Wan burned the fire for a while, and it felt as if he was almost dry, so Chen Xing was replaced, and he came out to get some air.

All the vegetables are picked from the ground, and they can hardly eat the vegetables from the combined private plots of the Chen family and Xu Kongshan.

Crisp and tender lettuce, green cabbage, and bearded peas are piled on the long table.The sausage and bacon are washed and cooked in advance, the pig's feet are stewed in the pot until the soup becomes sticky, and the aromas of chicken and pork compete with each other.

Just looking at the lively kitchen, who would have thought it was the 70s.

Zhang Cheng and Zheng Hui also received the invitation. They were once acquainted with each other, so they didn't need anyone to greet them, and they entered the main room with the New Year's gift.

Zhou Mei didn't have time to greet them. During the holidays, the hostess was always the busiest one.

Xu Kongshan helped Chen Jinjin carry back the borrowed tables and stools, and the heavy solid wood Eight Immortals table seemed to be a child's toy in his hands, and Zhang Cheng's fighting spirit was aroused by his vigorous walking.

He wanted to see if it was his strength or Xu Kongshan's.

"Officer Zhang, Dashan has the strength to pull a plow." Uncle Chen reminded Zhang Cheng, "Be careful."

Zhang Cheng picked up the Eight Immortals table and walked two steps, before deciding the verdict.

"Excellent." Zhang Cheng tapped Xu Kongshan's arm, good guy, it's as hard as iron.

Xu Kongshan knew what Zhang Cheng would say next -

"It's a good material for being a soldier." Zhang Cheng withdrew his hand and straightened the table that he had moved.

Chen Wan's heart was no longer panicked. Xu Kongshan was not just a character in a novel he had read.In this world, he is a living, independent, autonomous, thinking being.What he wants to do, what he wants to be, should not be in his control.

Even if Xu Kongshan wanted to be a soldier, he would silently support it.

Otherwise, what can I do, the person I like, of course let him do what I like to do.

The number of visitors gradually increased, and Chen Wan met Zhou Mei's natal family in the third brigade.Zhou Mei's mother is 70 years old, she walks with a breeze, and calls Chen Yongfei as soon as she enters the door.

"Grandma." Chen Yongfei greeted her affectionately, and Chen Wan watched the radio in the main room, so that the children would not touch it.

Chen Wan nodded, thinking that the four tables would be too big to sit down.

Family planning was introduced in the 70s. Before it was really strict, Chen Wan glanced over and saw that except for the newlyweds who looked young, the rest were basically two children with two children or even three children.

Chen Qianjin also found out, went into the kitchen and talked to Zhou Mei, and then asked Xu Kongshan to borrow a set of tables and stools.

Five tables are almost crowded.

On the other hand, this reflects the living conditions of the Chen family. It is rare to have a good meal, and the whole family must be dispatched together.

The author has something to say: Chen Wan: Don't worry, Brother Shan, Liuer will always be with you!
