Chapter 176 The trip to the forest farm

This meal made Liu Shun and Uncle Tao San see what it means to eat meat in large pieces and drink in large bowls.

When I was full of wine and meals, a large pot of sauce-flavored bones were left with only a little soup and a pile of gnawed bones.

Regarding Tong Yao's alcohol tolerance, in Zhang Linsheng's words, it means that she has never seen her drink too much.

The fire in the kitchen has not been extinguished, and the big kang is burning warm. Liu Shun and Tao San slept beautifully. When they woke up again, it was already the next day when the sun was already at midnight.

Zhang Linsheng had already prepared noodles and fragrant meat sauce waiting for them.

The sky outside the window was a little dim and there was no sun. Zhang Linsheng said that it was going to snow.

"If you make up your mind, let's set off today, it will snow and close the road. It will not be so easy to go to the forest farm!" Zhang Linsheng said.

Liu Shun and Tao San discussed it when they went to bed at night. Anyway, they just came out to have fun, so it was good to go and see. So, after hearing what Zhang Linsheng said, the two agreed without saying a word.

"If you come here, if you don't go to see the forest farm, it will be a waste of time! You will definitely go with you!" Liu Shun said.

"Okay, after dinner, we will prepare. There will be a train at twelve o'clock!" Zhang Linsheng was also very happy.

I have known my friends for only two days and feel like I have been together for a long time. I can chat with you very much. He doesn't want to leave my friends alone. It's best to follow me to play in the forest farm.

Liu Shun and Tao San were full of expectations for going to the forest farm. They lived in Kyoto since childhood and had seen the vast forest there!

He only had a few clothes he brought with him, but he had to go to the forest farm deep in the forest. Zhang Linsheng generously took out his two dog-skin vests and put them on.

There are long hairs inside the dog skin vest. It’s not too cold now that winter is now, and it’s a little sweaty after wearing it. But Zhang Linsheng said, don’t take it off first, you’ll know then.

Zhang Linsheng's parents and Tong Yao's parents were both in the forest farm. The first time they went there, they couldn't stand empty-handed. They said to Zhang Linsheng, and they ran out and went to the largest credit union in the county to buy a lot of things.

At that time, sugar and white wine were the best gifts. In addition to these, I also bought a lot of candy cubes and fruit cakes. The two of them made a bag and filled it with them.

Fruit cake is a unique type of chicken cake in Northeast China. It is not as exquisite as Kyoto pastry, but the focus is on the fact that it has enough ingredients and tastes good.

Zhang Linsheng also brought two big bags, but he didn't know what they had installed. After he was almost ready, he called Tong Yao next door to leave.

The train station is nearby, with four people wearing thick clothes, carrying a few big bags, standing on the train platform of no one waiting.

As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, a train with white mist came to the station not far away.

The train was specially used to pull wood in the forest farm, and the dark truck was empty. As soon as the car stopped, Zhang Linsheng first climbed up a carriage. After getting on, he reached out to pick up the bags of several people. Finally, the three people climbed up one by one.

The car bucket is open air, but fortunately it is empty. After driving, it cannot blow the wind even if it squats under it. However, the temperature is getting lower and lower. At this time, Liu Shun and the others realized the advantages of the dog-skin vest.

The back of the chest was warm, so I didn't feel cold. I took off the cotton gloves and sat under my butt, put my hands into my sleeves, and several people squeezed together and chatted, followed the train into the forest.

After entering the forest, the temperature dropped a few degrees again. Looking up at the dim sky, Zhang Linsheng felt a little worried.

"It looks like it's about to get off!" he said.

"Why is it yellow this day? Isn't it dark when it snows, rains, and it's cloudy?" Liu Shun asked in front of the sky.

"It's yellow and snowing, it's dark and raining!" Tong Yao said, "Looking at this, this snow is not too small!"

"I really want to see how it snows heavily!" Tao San said.

It seemed as if God heard his words, snowflakes suddenly floated from the sky.

"It's snowing!" Tong Yao shouted excitedly and reached out to pick up the snowflakes. Several people also stretched out their hands one after another. Liu Shun was amazed at the snowflakes that had never been seen before.

"This snowflake!" Zhang Linsheng muttered.

"Kyoto has never been so big!" Tao San said.

The snowflakes were falling one after another at first, but in a blink of an eye, more and more snow fell down.

In a blink of an eye, snow began to accumulate in the car, and the four people kept shaking off the snow on their bodies. However, in this posture, the four people soon turned into four snowmen.

By five o'clock in the afternoon, the train stopped and several people got out of the car, stomped their feet and yelled at their hands.

The train stops here and will not leave. It will have to wait until it is filled with wood.

Seeing the locomotive throwing the carriage and driving into the warehouse not far away, the four of them carried their bags and walked across the platform.

There was no one in the simple platform, only the innermost dispatch room was on.

Zhang Linsheng walked over and knocked on the glass on the door, shouting to a middle-aged man inside: "Uncle Ma!"

Uncle Ma looked up and was happy. He quickly waved to him. Then Zhang Linsheng pushed the door and walked in with the people.

The dispatch room was full of heating, and a stove was burning in the middle. The four of them first came over to warm up their hands before they had time to talk to Uncle Ma.

"Little boy, I came so early this year!" Uncle Ma saw that he was four children, so he quickly put down what he had and went to a few cups of hot water.

"Yes, Grandpa Tong Yao celebrates his birthday, call us to go early!" Zhang Linsheng said, then pointed at Liu Shun and Tao San and said to him: "Uncle Ma, these two, Liu Shun and Tao San, are friends I only know, who come from Kyoto!"

"Kyoto! That's the capital! Running in the middle of winter is like this Gada?" Uncle Ma looked at the two of them with a funny smile and said.

"Hehe!" Liu Shun and Tao San could only smile foolishly.

"I'm so relieved at home that I let you run so far?" Uncle Ma asked again worriedly.

"Everyone at home knows it! Uncle Ma, don't worry!" Liu Shun said with a smile.

After asking a few more questions, Uncle Ma took out a pot and put it on the stove, "Eat some noodles tonight and have a nap. Someone from the forest farm will come tomorrow morning, and you will follow me when the time comes!"

"Okay!" Zhang Linsheng agreed with a smile.

Every time they come, they will make a living here first. The workers in the forest farm know each other and almost never see children for many years. Therefore, as long as the employees and families come, they will take great care of them.

There is only one truck that pulls wood for half a month. Every time I come, someone from the forest farm will come over on a sled, send a letter, make a phone call, and then pick up the relatives who visit their relatives and bring them back some letters and telegrams.

After eating noodles, Uncle Ma took the four of them to the dormitory next to the dispatch room.

There are not many people here, and there are only two or three people serving shifts, but the dormitory is very large, just to facilitate the return and travel of employees and family members.

Early the next morning, Uncle Ma shouted the four people early.

"Get up and have dinner, people are coming to the forest farm!" Uncle Ma shouted outside.

The dormitory is also a big kang, but it is opposite the kangs from north to south. Tong Yao slept with a big kang alone, Zhang Linsheng, Liu Shun and Tao San squeezed with a big kang.

The quilt is thick and soft, and the kang is so hot that it makes them feel comfortable that they don’t even think about it.

Hearing Uncle Ma’s voice, Zhang Linsheng asked loudly: “Uncle Ma, who came to pick him up this time?”

"You Uncle Tong, Tong Yao's dad! Get up quickly!" Uncle Ma left after saying that.

"It's my dad!" Tong Yao got up as soon as she gulped, put on her cotton jacket and trousers, and before she could put on her shoes, she ran out in a hurry.

The remaining three people quickly put on their clothes in a hurry and got off the floor and went out.

Tong Yao's father is a typical Northeastern man with a tall and burly figure, a loud voice, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a righteous look.

"Are these two friends?" Tong Yao's father looked at Liu Shun and Tao San and asked.

"Yes, it's them who came from Kyoto to play!" Tong Yao nodded and said.

Liu Shun seemed a little nervous, especially when Tong Yao's father looked at him.

"Hello Uncle Tong!" Even though they were nervous, the two of them still greeted him politely.

"Okay! OK! Go to the forest farm and have fun! Take you to hunt then!"

When the boys heard about hunting, their eyes lit up and they nodded and said yes.

Uncle Ma cooked the noodles and asked the four people to eat first. He and Tong Yao's father went to the side to get the letters and telegrams of the exchanges. When they were done, the four people would eat too.

"Bring your things and go back to the forest farm!" Tong Yao's father said loudly, as if he was going to go somewhere to receive the award.

The four of them laughed and went back to the dormitory to get things, left two bottles of wine for Uncle Ma to say goodbye, and then left the station.

As soon as he left the door, a cold wind blew over, and Tao San shrank his neck, "It's so cold!"

"Haha!" Tong Yao's father carried the bag brought by his daughter and walked towards the back of the station. There was a temporary horse shed, with a brown horse standing inside eating grass, next to it was a sledge.

"Go up and sit!" After putting on the sled, Tong Yao's father pulled out the sled, put a few bags on it, and let the four of them sit on it, "Let's go!"

A "bang" sounded and the sled moved. After a night of heavy snow, the sled was very steady. However, for Liu Shun and Tao San, who had experienced such a means of transportation for the first time, it was very novel!

After walking out of the station, the horse sledges entered the real forest, with tall and straight pine trees on both sides.

"I have never seen such a tall pine tree!" Liu Shun sighed.

"This has been growing for many years! There are even bigger ones inside!" Tong Yao's father walked in front and said.

"How long will it take?" Tao San poked Zhang Linsheng.

"It's a few hours!" Zhang Linsheng replied, "Hey! Hey!" Before he finished speaking, Tao San didn't sit down and fell down. Zhang Linsheng didn't even catch him after he grabbed him a few times.

Seeing Tao San's upper body sinking into the snow and only his legs were exposed, Tong Yao made her laugh.

Liu Shun looked at her side face and forgot to go to Tao San for a moment.

Tong Yao's father stopped the horse, Zhang Lin gave birth to a sledge, and Liu Shun realized and followed him. The two pulled Tao San out of the snow, and the few laughed non-stop.

Suddenly, Tao San grabbed a handful of snow and threw it on Liu Shun.

Liu Shun was stunned for a moment and immediately fought back. Zhang Linsheng, who was suffering, also joined in. The three of them started a snowball fight, and then ran forward. Tong Yao sat on the sled and looked at them with a smile.

Tong Yao's father also smiled and pulled the sled and walked forward.

"Oh!" Tong Yao shouted, and I don't know who got out of the fire, and hit the snow ball on her.

Tong Yao snorted, got off the sled, grabbed the snow ball and started hitting the three of them, and the three of them ran in front.

"Don't run! Who attacked me just now?" Tong Yao shouted, grabbing the snow group and chasing the three of them.

The group was having fun and fun, and the group walked most of the way.

When Tong Yao's father asked the four of them to sit on the sled again and continue walking towards the forest farm.

The sun rose and the snow stopped. The four of them were tired of playing and didn't speak. They leaned against each other on the sled, shaking as if they were about to fall asleep.

"It's so terrible!"

A sudden sound came from the woods next to him. Several people looked in the sound. Before they could see clearly what was there, Tong Yao's father had already taken out a hunting rifle from the side of the horse.

"Little boy, get out of the car and drive the horse!" He said in a deep voice, with a serious expression, staring at the direction that made the sound with a hunting gun.

"What's wrong?" Tao San asked. Tong Yao's father made the atmosphere too tense.

"Don't make a sound, go!" Tong Yao's father waved his hand to them.
