After eating and drinking at the county health center, Liu Shun and Tao San’s uncle did not feel any discomfort after being drunk, but instead felt comfortable all over.

It was originally a door to leave late autumn, but when we arrived here, the temperature dropped significantly, with the coldness of winter, but there was no snow, which made the two people who wanted to see the heavy snow in the north a little regretful.

On the way to Zhang Linsheng's house, after listening to the regretful words of Liu Shun and Tao Sanshu, Zhang Linsheng couldn't help laughing.

"I advise you not to see it. If it is really snowing all over the sky, no one can get out of the door. The north wind is blowing, it's like a knife!"

Liu Shun and Uncle Tao San like to listen to Zhang Linsheng's words. The strong Northeast accent brought them a little to them, but they also understood what the dialect meant was so coquettish.

"Why can't you go out?" Liu Shun asked, "When it snows in Kyoto, we like to build snowmen, play snowball fights and so on!"

"It's snowing there, but it's not like snowing! If it's heavy snowing here, you can just build the house, are you looking at it?" Zhang Linsheng pointed to the house on the side of the road and said, "The doors of the house are all open inwards, but they are afraid that the door will not be opened when it snows. They open inwards, and they use a shovel to dig a hole from the door, and the person will come out!"

Is there any other statement?

Liu Shun and Uncle Tao San didn't notice it. They kept looking at the houses on both sides of the road. Sure enough, they saw that almost all the doors of the houses were opened inwards.

Zhang Linsheng's family is in the northeast of the county town, not far from the railway, with a row of bungalows and every family has a yard.

The houses here are very distinctive. The outside is almost full of thick logs and the inside is made of brick and stone. It is said that such a house has a particularly good warmth effect.

His house is the second in the third row, with a large iron gate and a large yard. There is a cement road in front of the door from the door of the house. The wooden railings on both sides divide the vegetable gardens on both sides.

Two strings of fiery red peppers were hung on both sides of the door, a few strings of corn were hung on the side of the window, and a flower pot without flowers was placed on the windowsill.

"The windowsills are all outside here?" Liu Shun asked curiously.

"Aren't they all outside?" Zhang Linsheng asked back strangely.

After I made it clear, several people smiled and said, "Sure enough, every place is different."

"Come in now! Don't be polite, just think of yourself as your own home! I'll bring a stove!" After entering the door, there was a hint of coldness in the room. Zhang Linsheng asked Liu Shun and the others to sit first. He walked behind and took a basket full of coal over, and opened the lid of a earthen stove with iron pipes in the middle of the room.

Liu Shun looked curiously. There were also such earthen stoves in Kyoto, but they were not as big as this one, as high as a bucket.

Zhang Linsheng took a piece of birch bark and lit it, threw it into the stove, and put a few pieces of firewood in it. After the fire was strong, he took a small shovel and put it into the stove, and placed the kettle full of water on the stove.

The stove was lit and the room became warm in an instant. Liu Shun and others took off their hats, scarves and gloves and hung them to the wall.

The water was boiling, and Zhang Linsheng poured two glasses of water for the few people. The water cup was a straight-tube glass with red chrysanthemums printed on it.

"There is no tea at home, drink some hot water to warm up!" Zhang Linsheng said.

"Your house is good, you usually live alone?" Liu Shun asked.

Zhang Linsheng's house is well decorated. There are rooms on both sides, main hall and dining place in the middle, and kitchen behind.

I just walked into the room and saw a big kang with big mattress covered with red flowers and green leaves. The top was a kang, which was the cabinet placed on the kang.

There are tables, chairs, benches and a large wardrobe on the floor, which are full of fullness.

"My parents are both in the forest farm, and they only come back once a year. Sometimes when they don't come back, my parents and I and my neighbors in the forest farm go to the forest farm together and come back after the New Year!" Zhang Linsheng said.

"I always heard you say where the forest farm is, it seems to be difficult to get in!" Uncle Tao San asked casually.

Liu Shun was looking at photos of his house hanging on the wall, three or four large photo frames, and many large and small black and white photos inside.

"It's not too far, it's hard to walk. We will take a wooden truck to the forest farm freight station first, and then make a horse sledge and go in."

"Horse sled?" Liu Shun asked curiously.

"It's a horse-drawn sled. After snow, only the sled can walk, and you can ride a carriage in summer." Zhang Linsheng said, then pointed to a photo on the wall and said, "That's that!"

Liu Shun followed his hand and looked at the photo. There was indeed a horse sled above, and there was a family of three standing next to him.

The younger one looks like Zhang Linsheng, who is only in his teens. The two adults should be husband and wife, and they smiled happily at the camera.

"It's winter, aren't they coming back yet?" Uncle Tao San asked, "If they don't come back, it's good that you go to Kyoto with us!"

"I agreed that I will go to the forest farm this year. They have retired in just a few years, so I won't let them go back and forth!" Zhang Linsheng said.

"Brother Lin Sheng! Are you at home? I see that your door is open!" A crisp voice came from outside the door.

"Come in at home!" Zhang Linsheng replied loudly.

After a while, the door opened, and a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old came in outside the door. She was wearing two braids, tall, and wearing a green military coat. She looked heroic. The girl had big eyes and looked at the two extra people in the room with shiny eyes.

"Brother Lin Sheng, are you here at home?"

"You are called Brother Liu, and that is called Brother Tao!" Zhang Linsheng said.

"Brother Liu, Brother Tao!" the girl shouted generously.

"This is my uncle Tong's daughter next door, Tong Yao!"

"Hello, hello!" Liu Shun and Uncle Tao San were a little nervous.

At that time, young men and young women were not as open as they are in today's era, and I was a little embarrassed.

But Tong Yao didn't care so much, and she laughed at the two young men who were a little nervous.

"Brother Lin Sheng, you two friends are so funny!" Tong Yao walked over with a smile, leaned on the table, and grabbed a few handfuls of melon seeds from her pocket, "Come on, eat melon seeds!"

Liu Shun and Tao San Uncle were both a little afraid to look at Tong Yao too much, so they seemed a little restrained.

"Okay, don't be polite. Tong Yao has been like a tomboy since she was a child. Don't be dissatisfied! Come and eat melon seeds!" Zhang Linsheng also saw that Liu Shun and the others were a little unwilling to let go, so he quickly called them to sit down.

Liu Shun sat there, feeling his body stiff, his heart was beating violently unconsciously, and his ears were filled with Tong Yao's crisp voice and laughter.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, but suddenly he felt that the sky was already dim, and the sun suddenly appeared, and his body was a little warm.

"Liu Shun! Liu Shun!" Uncle Tao San called him several times before calling Liu Shun back who was lost.

"ah?"

"What are you thinking? Lin Sheng asked if you want to go to the forest farm together?" Uncle Tao San asked.

It turned out that Tong Yao said just now that his father called back and said that his grandfather was about to celebrate his 70th birthday this year and asked Tong Yao to go to the forest farm early. She came here specifically to ask Zhang Linsheng if he wanted to go with him.

As a result, Zhang Linsheng enthusiastically invited Liu Shun and Uncle Tao San to go to the forest farm to have fun.

"Go to the forest farm?" Liu Shun finally came back to his heart. "Is there anything fun there?"

"The forest farm is so fun!" Tong Yao took over the conversation, and her clever smile made Liu Shun feel dazed again, "There are many good things in the mountains! My grandfather lives in the deep forest. I have been with my parents once when I was very young! Do you go?"

"Okay!" Liu Shun agreed.

They originally planned to travel all the way back to Kyoto from the north, but unexpectedly, an accident allowed the two to spend an unforgettable winter in the big forest in the northeast.

Seeing that Tong Yao had agreed, she was about to go back. Before leaving, she said, "Brother Lin Sheng, I stewed a big bone stick at home. You can cook a cabbage and frozen tofu and add some vermicelli!"

"Did you cook the rice?" Zhang Linsheng asked.

"I steamed buns!" The nice voice had already arrived outside the house.

After looking at the time, Zhang Linsheng went to the back kitchen. Uncle Tao San followed him curiously. Liu Shun didn't want to be idle, so he asked, "What else do you need to help?"

"Go outside and bring me two cabbages in!" Zhang Linsheng answered loudly in the kitchen.

When he walked out the door, Liu Shun looked around and saw a brick-built platform at the top of the right side of the door. There were things piled up high on it and covered with rain coverings. A few cabbage leaves drooped on the side.

Liu Shun walked over and lifted the rain cloth. He saw the head of the cabbage tilting towards his head, and putting it high. He took two of them down and covered the rain cloth.

After carrying the cabbage in, I saw Uncle Tao San learning to burn the big stove behind and stuffing a few pieces of wood into the furnace.

Zhang Linsheng took the cabbage, skillfully stripped off a layer of slightly dried dish outside, put it on the cutting board, cut it with a few "bang bang" and put it in a basin together. Next to it was a water tank, which scooped water, washed, and placed it aside.

The big pot had some water, and it was already boiling at this time. Zhang Linsheng took a spoon and scooped it a few times, poured it into a bucket next to him, and dug a spoonful of white meat oil from a jar next to him and put it in.

Then there was the onion, ginger and soy sauce swelling, and the fragrance suddenly spread.

Put the cabbage into the pot and turn it over twice, add water and cover it.

"Depending on your proficiency, chef!" Liu Shun praised, "At most I can cook an egg for myself, that's a high level."

"Our Gada children have been cooking since childhood. Their parents are busy with work and they come back from get off work and they are in the middle of the night. They can starve to death if they don't know how to cook!" Zhang Linsheng said lightly, but it sounds like it was too difficult to hear in the ears of two big families.

Frozen tofu is in a prominent small room behind the kitchen. By standard, it is a natural refrigerator.

The frozen tofu was slightly melted with water, cut small pieces with a knife, threw them into the pot, and threw a handful of vermicelli in it.

After everything was done, Zhang Linsheng stuffed another piece of firewood into the furnace, "Go, go in! It's all right later."

The three of them returned from the steaming kitchen to the front. After a while, Tong Yao came again and shouted outside: "Please open the door for me!"

Liu Shun ran over and opened the door, and saw Tong Yao standing at the door holding a large basin and a small basin, and quickly reached out to pick it up.

"Get the one above!" Tong Yao said.

Liu Shun was about to take it all, but when he heard what he said, he raised his hand to hold the basin on it again. His hand touched Tong Yao's hand, and his heart immediately jumped violently.

It is hot, soft and smooth, and it feels like touching an object with a wide open door, making people feel excited.

He took the basin on top and let Tong Yao open the door. Tong Yao put the basin in her hand on the table. When she lifted it, a rich aroma of meat wafted out, and a large pot of sauce was exposed.

"So much?" Uncle Tao San's eyes widened.

"So many people! How many?" Tong Yao said, "The big man eats like a bird? You can pull it down! Kill them all!"

"Let me see if the food is fine, Tong Yao, pour the wine!" Zhang Linsheng went to the kitchen as he spoke.

"Okay!" Tong Yao agreed, and when she bent down, she pulled out a jar of wine from under the table, skillfully opened the lid on the seal, "I'll get the bowl!"

As she said that, Tong Yao ran to the kitchen and took four pairs of chopsticks in a blink of an eye. "Hey? You guys sit down quickly!" As she said that, she had already put the bowl and poured the wine on.

"Enough is enough!" Uncle Tao San quickly stopped Tong Yao, who was about to fill up.

"That's enough?" Tong Yao didn't listen to him, and continued to pour it over and poured the second bowl.
Chapter completed!
