    Chapter 22 Eating roasted sweet potatoes around the fire

    The way home was not easy, but in the end I walked home step by step.

    When we arrived near the village, we could hear the barking of dogs not far away, and there seemed to be an orange-red light flashing in the wind and snow.

    Xiao Shengtian whispered: "That's it. Just go back by yourself. I have to go home quickly. I still have something to do."

    When Gu Qingxi heard what he said, she was actually a little disappointed. Along the way, he was walking in front of the wind and snow, and she followed him, protected by him all the way.

    Now that he was leaving, she felt lost, as if she had no one to rely on.

    But this emotion lasted only for a moment.

    Xiao Shengtian will have a great future in the future, and he will be the best among people in the future.

    She knows it, but she shouldn't cling to it and live a new life because of this. She has to fight her way out on her own, and she can't rely on others for her whole life.

    So Gu Qingxi finally whispered: "Okay, then go home quickly."

    Xiao Shengtian: "Yeah."

    After saying this, he stood there, still not walking away, only looking at her steadily.

    The cold wind was blowing, blowing the snowflakes like scattered cotton wool. The distance between him and her was very close. Gu Qingxi saw the snowflakes drifting past his calm and dark eyes, and also falling on his thick hat.

    At this moment, I felt a little dazed, as if the world was changing, the snowflakes were flying, and time was passing. Only those eyes remained unchanged, and he looked at me steadily and far away like a rock.

    ¡°Go home, soak your feet, and go to bed early.¡± He whispered to her.

    "I know, you go to bed early." Not knowing why he was anxious to go back, Gu Qingxi still warned him.

    "I am leaving."

    As he said that, he was about to leave.

    At this moment, Gu Qingxi had the impulse to raise her hand out of nowhere.

    He is tall, and she has to reach out.

    He was about to leave, but he paused slightly, pursed his lips, lowered his head slightly, and looked at her.

    The moment he bowed his head, her delicate hands reached his hat and helped him brush away the snowflakes on it.

    Although he was only seventeen years old at this time, he was already tall and tall, and was wearing a heavy cotton coat. His whole body was much taller than the slim one. The way he lowered his head and let her do what she wanted made Gu Qingxi slightly startled.  Down.

    It reminded Gu Qingxi of the big dog he had when he was in the production brigade.

    During the summer vacation, her mother went to the brigade to cook, and she also went over to help. Occasionally she would tease the big yellow dog. At that time, she went to touch the big dog's head, and it looked like this.

    An indescribably subtle strange feeling surged into his throat. It was hard to tell whether it was sour or sweet. Gu Qingxi even had an impulse in a daze to hug him tightly.

    She restrained herself.

    "Thank you, Xiao Shengtian, you helped me, you saved my life." Her voice trembled deliberately in the cold night.

    Xiao Shengtian¡¯s lips twitched. He probably wanted to say something, but when his eyes moved slightly, he didn¡¯t say anything and turned around and left.

    Gu Qingxi stood there, looking at his back. After looking at him for a while, he wrapped himself tightly in his cotton-padded jacket, lowered his head and braved the wind and snow to walk in the direction of the torch.

    ??************

    When Gu Qingxi was found, everyone gathered around her and asked questions, and someone even wrapped her in an old cotton-padded jacket.

    Her mother, Liao Jinyue, rushed over quickly and hugged her while crying. She just called her my daughter. My mother was worried to death.

    Gu Qingxi was brought home by her family. Her sister-in-law hurriedly boiled hot water and helped her wash her feet. Her mother boiled the corn noodle porridge left in the evening and cooked a poached egg for her.

    Gu Qingxi was not polite, drank heavily, and ate another poached egg, which made him feel less hungry.

    At this time, the fire in the stove was also lit, and a coal cake was even placed.

    I usually use the kitchen stove for cooking at home, which is used to burn firewood. The firewood is leftover wheat straw or firewood picked up from the river in the mountains. Although there is a stove at home, I usually don¡¯t want to light a fire to burn coal, only if it¡¯s really cold.  It is used only when it is available, and what is burned is not briquettes, but briquettes made from low-quality coal bought at home.

    Although the briquettes tasted bad, they were warm after burning. Gu Qingxi was wrapped in a quilt and pressed his hands against the brick furnace wall. The fire had just started, and there was only a shallow layer of temperature outside. Gu Qingxi warmed his hands greedily.  .

    Her mother, Liao Jinyue, sat there, put three pieces of roasted sweet potatoes on the stove, and started toAt that time, her mother Liao Jinyue came into the house. She broke it off and gave one piece to her mother and sister-in-law. She also kept one piece for herself. They all sat around the stove, peeling the sweet potatoes and tasting the freshly roasted sweet potatoes.

    The hot white steam comes out from the soft and glutinous red flesh like honey. I am afraid of burning my mouth, so I carefully take a small bite from the edge. When I eat it, it is sweet in my mouth.

    The biting cold wind howled outside, and the old newspapers and oilcloths that were torn on the windows made a rustling sound, but the room was extremely warm, and the burning coal cakes continued to radiate heat. Several women were sitting on the kang,  We were sitting around the stove, eating delicious roasted sweet potatoes, chattering about the family's livelihood, and for a while they were talking about what happened to Gu Xiuyun, and the men and sons in the family were helping to find it.

    Liao Jinyue sighed and said worriedly: "Should we ask again?"

    Chen Yunxia: "Forget it, people usually don't treat us well. Now my father and Jianguo are homeless outside, so I'm helping you find them. Our Qingxi is frozen like this, so we don't need to take care of it?"

    Liao Jinyue thought about it and felt that her daughter-in-law was right: "Just hope to find it. After all, it is a girl's house, so nothing happens."

    Gu Qingxi listened, but she didn't panic. She knew that nothing would happen to Gu Xiuyun and that he had a long life.

    Chen Yunxia was still thinking about making money. She showed Gu Qingxi the reed mat that she and her husband had learned to weave in the past few days.

    Gu Qingxi took a closer look under the large oil lamp. It looked really good, and the fresh patterns looked good. However, it was the first time, and some places were obviously not neat enough.

    "Your brother is clumsy. This place doesn't look good. If I sell it, I guess people won't want it. This one is considered useless. I can only try another one." Chen Yunxia came over and pointed at the flaws on the reed mat. When she said this  , naturally feeling distressed.

    "Actually, there may be a way" As a Lanling native, she later of course bought the so-called exported original single reed mats. Those reed mats have so many different styles: "Actually, you can patch a flower here, don't use reeds, use  Sew with linen thread and embroider a flower to cover it. And here, use green thread to embroider the branches and leaves. Don't use the green we usually embroider pillowcases, or light emerald green with bright red, or simply something like cyan.  Green, paired with crimson, will look good."

    Chen Yunxia didn't understand the color combinations Gu Qingxi was talking about, but she thought this idea was great: "This is great. If you knit the wrong places, just embroider them with flowers! It's covered in no time. Qingxi's method is so good!  "

    ?? Embroidery is something that rural women can do to some extent. It is not a superb level, and it is not a delicate job. But in the leisure time, it is not a problem to embroider a pillowcase or something with the poor quality colored thread from the countryside.

    Liao Jinyue¡¯s eyes lit up when she heard this, and she was very proud: ¡°The more ink in my daughter¡¯s belly, the more she knows.¡±

    He nodded again and again: "We don't understand this. I listened to your sister. Let's get started tomorrow. In two days, Jianguo will go to the county town to sell and test it. Maybe it can be done."

    None of the three women in the family were dissatisfied, and they all said yes. Who knew that just as they were talking, they heard footsteps and shouting coming from outside.

    Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Liao Jinyue looked out from the gap in the oilcloth on the window and saw her sister-in-law Ma Sanhong, walking toward the door menacingly against the wind.

    "Why is she here?" Liao Jinyue muttered, but still opened the door.

    The door opened, and the wind from outside was blowing inside. Liao Jinyue quickly let Ma Sanhong in.

    "What's this, have you found Xiuyun?"

    "I was about to ask your Qingxi why she came back alone. Where is my Xiuyun?"

    Ma Sanhong, the eldest uncle, had a particularly loud voice and was shouting angrily.

    ¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù¡ù
