Chapter 245 Zhou Peng
The people in this mountain are very hospitable, and when Chen Liang was in Sijiu City, he helped them exchange logs for a lot of supplies, which made them have a good year last year. I don't know how happy they were.
How many people, so Chen Liang can be said to be the great benefactor of their entire forest farm.
Chen Liang and Zhou Peng walked and chatted all the way. When they arrived at his home, Chen Liang took out two filtered Changbaishan cigarettes and a bottle of Maotai from his military coat.
"Brother Zhou, I came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me. I just brought some tobacco and alcohol. Don't dislike it!"
Zhou Peng was not polite. Knowing that Chen Liang also had this, he took it generously, "Brother, sit down quickly. When you get here, it's like you're at your own home. Don't be restrained!"
After saying that, Zhou Peng went into the house and asked his wife to get up, "Hurry up and bring some food, we have a guest at home!"
It was almost one or two o'clock in the morning. Zhou Peng's wife was woken up. Considering that there were guests outside, she gave him a hard look and then got up with her clothes on.
After putting on her cotton-padded jacket, Zhou Peng's wife greeted Chen Liang warmly, "Brother, sit down. Tell your sister-in-law what you want to eat, and I'll fix it for you right away!"
"Sister-in-law, just give me some food and give me two bites!"
Damn it, Chen Liang had always heard people say that the conditions in the mountains were difficult, but he didn't take it seriously. But when he actually went to the mountains, he realized that the people in the mountains were far more difficult than he imagined.
When people in the mountains treat guests, they naturally bring out whatever is good at home. Chen Liang meant to bring two wotou, but Zhou Peng and his wife actually cooked the dumplings prepared for the New Year.
.
After Zhou Peng's wife brought the dumplings to the table with a curtain made of reed stems, Chen Liang had just finished two when several children in Zhou Peng's family were awakened by the meaty aroma of the dumplings.
"Mom, why did you leave the dumplings for the Chinese New Year?" A girl of eighteen or nineteen years old, with three younger brothers and sisters, started shouting at the door before they even pushed the curtain and came in.
"Is it because my uncle is here again..."
Before Zhou Peng and his wife could speak in embarrassment, the curtain at the door was opened. The angry eldest girl was shocked when she saw Chen Liang sitting cross-legged on the Kang.
She screamed "Yeah!", covered her chest with her hands, and ran back to her own room with a "whoosh".
Well, this is really not what Chen Liang wanted to see on purpose. People in the mountains wear cooler clothes at home because of the heat caused by the kang. The big girl just now wore a pajamas made of rags.
Therefore, Chen Liang, who has a sharp eye, caught a glimpse of her little lotus, which looks like her little girl Anna, with sharp corners. In the conscience of heaven and earth, this is really not what Chen Liang wants to see!
"Cough, cough," Chen Liang coughed twice immediately, then looked at the children drooling over the dumplings and waved to them to come up to the kang.
"Brother, please don't..." Zhou Peng and his wife were a little anxious. They were entertaining guests. How about bringing their children to the table? If this spread, the old Zhou family would be disgraced!
"Sister-in-law, it's okay. I can't finish all the dumplings. It's just right for the children!"
Chen Liang shook his hand and said nonchalantly.
When the older girl got dressed and rushed over, the three children were sitting on the kang eating dumplings and were enjoying themselves.
"Sister, come and eat the dumplings. They are stuffed with pork and green onions. They taste delicious!"
The eldest girl was also a decent person. First she gave Chen Liang a hard look at Chen Liang who had taken advantage of her, and then she darkened her face and said, "Whoever told you to serve the table, please come down. We are entertaining guests at home.
Why don’t you understand any rules!”
The three little ones, after receiving a slap from the eldest sister each, climbed down from the kang obediently, and stood in a row, as if they had done something wrong, each of them lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.
Oh my god, this eldest sister is so fierce!
Chen Liang quickly smoothed things over, "Well, this is what I asked them to serve, you..."
"That won't work. If this spreads out, our family will be shameless." The older girl, who was still fierce, glanced at Chen Liang and thought to herself, this man looks really good-looking! But his mind is a little confused.
Son.
"I've eaten all the dumplings. Come back to the house and go to bed!" After the eldest girl finished speaking, she ignored Chen Liang and took the lead in leading the younger brothers and sisters to go to bed.
Chen Liang sat awkwardly on the kang, looking at Zhou Peng and his wife who were equally embarrassed, and didn't know what to do!
Finally, Chen Liang broke the deadlock, "Brother Zhou, look, I'm full too, let the children share these dumplings!"
"Ah? Brother, don't worry about this crazy girl. You eat yours. If there's not enough, my sister-in-law will give it to you!" Zhou Peng's wife looked a little confused, so she got up and continued to eat dumplings for Chen Liang.
"No, sister-in-law, I really just need to take care of the two of you. Brother Zhou, look at the free kang, can you give it to me for the whole night? I've been riding in the car all day, but I'm very tired!"
When Zhou Peng heard what Chen Liang said, he stood up and said, "Brother, the conditions in this mountain are difficult. Let's go to the outhouse and squeeze in with the children!"
Then Zhou Peng went to the outer room and called the eldest girl just now, and asked her to take her two younger sisters to share a kang with her mother, while he took Chen Liang and his son to share a kang. After such allocation, Chen Liang naturally
There won't be any objections.
So Chen Liang, who was fooling around in Harbin during the day, got excited and took a car all day. Late at night, he arrived at the Changbai Mountain Forest Farm, hundreds of kilometers away from Harbin.
After riding in the car for more than ten hours, Chen Liang was shaken so hard that he felt that all the bones in his body were falling apart. He lay down on the kang and soon fell into sleep.
The next morning, Chen Liang was woken up by a burst of noise. When he was about to ask Anna in Russian not to make trouble with him, suddenly an idea came to his mind. It seemed that he might not be at home anymore. It seemed that he had gone to the forest farm yesterday.
coming.
Chen Liang climbed up from his bed, put on his clothes, and was about to get out of bed when the curtain at the door was lifted up by Zhou Peng who heard the noise.
"Brother Chen, are you awake? Breakfast has been prepared for you, get up and eat it quickly!"
Breakfast at Zhou Peng's house is very simple. It's a big porridge with a lot of potatoes in it.
There is also a curtain made of mugwort stalks in the pot, on which are placed the leftover dumplings from last night and freshly made big steamed buns.
When Chen Liang came out of the back room, he happened to meet the eldest girl of the Zhou family walking over carrying her own pickled cabbage.
