Mountain People

Uncle Qin insisted, but Dong Chenghu refused, so he had to come down first. The two ate something at the Qin family's house and hurried back. After all, the Qin family was not rich, and the hare meat and pancakes were not enough for five people.

Gu Shuixiu also knew this and made a rhetoric with Dong Chenghu. The Qin family thought that they had really eaten something to fill their stomachs, so they did not force them to eat more.

When the two of them crossed the river and passed through the woods, they reached home. It was the first time for Gu Shuixiu to pull the hemp rope on the gate.

Dong Chenghu didn't expect a hemp rope to make Gu Shuixiu so happy, so he giggled.

Dong Yunmei's heart throbbed, could something have happened?

This time I didn't even have time to put on the padded jacket, so I rushed out of the house with it, and specially instructed the two little ones not to go out and to close the door.

Dong Yunmei ran out of breath and finally reached the gate, and asked cautiously, "Who is it?"

Gu Shuixiu was having so much fun and didn't hear it, but Dong Chenghu heard it and replied, "We're back."

Dong Yunmei finally felt relieved, and quickly opened the door to let people in. As soon as the door opened, Gu Shuixiu was still pulling the hemp rope.

Dong Yunmei didn't understand anything at this moment, and looked at Gu Shuixiu, who was still innocent.

Gu Shuixiu also seemed to know that she was in trouble, so she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. Dong Chenghu only felt that his throat was dry, as if he directly carried Shuixiu back to his room, what should he do?

Dong Qingqing heard Dong Yunmei asking her to open the door, the little guy immediately opened the door excitedly, now Gu Shuixiu was even more embarrassed.

Dong Qingqing rushed over enthusiastically, "Auntie, you're finally back, Qingqing misses you so much."

"Do you want the food made by your aunt or your aunt?" Dong Yunmei suddenly pierced through Dong Qingqing's careful thoughts.

The little guy is not shy, he said generously: "I want to!"

Gu Shuixiu was very rare, and played with Dong Qingqing for a while before going to the kitchen to get something to eat.

It was getting late. In order to let everyone eat hot rice quickly, Gu Shuixiu simply made a pork pancake, baked twenty pieces at once, and then cooked a pot of bone mushroom soup. Simple and delicious.

Dong Chenghu destroyed eight pancakes at once, Dong Yunmei ate three, the two little ones ate three or four together, Gu Shuixiu also ate three, and Dong Chenghu solved the rest together .

The wind outside the house is extremely strong tonight, and the family can hear the rustling of leaves outside while sitting in the main room with the door closed.

Dong Youyou nestled in Dong Yunmei's arms, opened a pair of lovely eyes, and said solemnly: "I'm afraid."

Dong Chenghu grinned at Dong Youyou, "Don't be afraid, the bad guys don't dare to come here with my uncle."

Dong Youyou stretched out his arms to Dong Chenghu to hug, Dong Chenghu was very surprised, hugged Dong Youyou carefully, and repeated two lame words to coax children.

"Chenghu likes children very much." Dong Yunmei looked at the two of them and said without thinking.

Gu Shuixiu smiled lightly, "I know he likes children, we'll have one when we're done with the spring next year, and confinement at the end of autumn, it's just not hot."

Gu Shuixiu has thought about the problem of children for a long time, and she also wants to have a unique baby of her own in this world, but Dong Chenghu's living environment was too bad before, and they didn't have a complete house, so they don't need it at all Consider these questions. Now that the family is in good condition, but the matter of the fields has not been fully understood, and I am not at ease if I want children.

"Since you already have plans, I won't talk about it. After all, you have ideas. I can't help you. It's okay to help you with your children in the future."

It turned out that Dong Yunmei had already made a plan, Gu Shuixiu wanted to ask her if she had ever thought about remarrying, but it was not the right time for her to speak, so she stopped.

The next morning, Gu Shuixiu just woke up and found that the room was very bright. She thought she was sleeping late. She opened the door and found that it snowed last night. The ground outside the house was very wet, as if it had rained. The snow in some places did not melt completely and turned into ice, making it easy to slip and fall when walking on it.

Gu Shuixiu walked all the way from the room to the kitchen and immediately found that the cotton shoes were no longer suitable for wearing.

When eating, Gu Shuixiu immediately proposed to make boots.

"Boots?" But shoes made of animal skins?

"Sister, have you seen it before?" Gu Shuixiu looked at Dong Yunmei with surprise, but Dong Yunmei shook her head, "I haven't seen it, I just saw it on the streets of the town before passing by. The shoes are not only warm but also waterproof, they look different.”

Gu Shuixiu's eyes were bright and she nodded at Dong Yunmei, "We just make those kind of boots, but we don't have deerskin or cowhide now, so it's impossible to make waterproof boots, but it's possible. To make warm boots, it happens that there are some rabbit skins left in the warehouse that are not for sale, and there are seaweed left over from building a house before, which can be used as adhesives, but I still need thicker soles. It is best to be waterproof. "

"This is no problem, I will accept the sole of the shoe. If you stick with the seaweed you mentioned, it may be really waterproof."

Gu Shuixiu took out a lot of oiled paper when Dong Yunmei was making the sole of the shoe. The oiled paper was waterproof. When Dong Yunmei made a layer of sole, Gu Shuixiu put a piece of oiled paper on it, and then stacked it repeatedly until five The layer just stopped. Before the seaweed was completely dry, Dong Yunmei began to use a needle and thread to seal the edge of the shoe in a dense circle.

The rabbit skin is also sealed to make the upper.

Gu Shuixiu took the finished shoes to dry on the stove, and such a waterproof rabbit leather shoe was made. Although the soles will be very hard after drying, they will slowly wear after a while. Adaptation, coupled with the anti-slip treatment of the sole, it is convenient for Dong Chenghu to go out to check the trap in the future.

The family was delighted with the freshly baked rabbit shoes. It is a pity that this cheerful atmosphere becomes particularly solemn at night.

Because the snow has never stopped, it is getting bigger and bigger. Now it can be said that the outside world has completely turned into a world of ice and snow.

Dong Chenghu is a little worried about the situation of the Qin family, but at this time, unless he helps the Qin family rebuild the house, or he can only ask the Qin family to move the house, the former is unrealistic, and the latter is based on Uncle Qin's People will not agree.
