The Role of Women in Novels
Chapter 23

When Zhao Guodong returned home, it was already dark. Grandma Zhao turned on the oil lamp and waited for him in the kitchen room. Seeing him back soaked, he started to nag: "Why did you come back so late? Go and change clean clothes. I made green vegetables and oil dregs today. "Only

hearing the name of this dish, Zhao Guodong's Wu Zang Temple began to groan, and swallowed a little impatiently. He went up the mountain without eating during the day, and he did not return until now, he was so hungry that his chest stuck to his back.

He washed the cicadas collected with well water, dried the water, and placed them on top of bamboo curtains to dry. The crickets swamp, which was discovered from the highest spot of the tree just after one winter, seemed to be revived, looking clear and energetic, and would soon become a potion in Li Yufeng's hands.

Zhao Guodong packed a bowl of rice, covered the bowl with a few vegetable chopsticks, and crouched down at the door to eat.

The tasteless vegetable has an oily luster due to the moisture from the rest of the oil.Zhao Guodong gulps his rice, and takes a small bite to feel the softness and crispness of the rest of the cooking oil.

Even though he had gone through a busy week of farming, he seemed to have regained all his energy.

Zhao Guodong looked at the path at the door while grilling the rice, and he saw a silly boy pass through the bamboo fence in front of his house, and he shouted for him to enter.

The boy's face was as dirty as a small cat, and he looked extremely pitiful, he was the child of old Chen next to Zhao's house.

The eighth production team used to be named Chenjiazhai, and the Chen surname was the most common surname here, and there were several ancestral relatives.

Seeing the boy approaching, Zhao Guodong put down his bowl and chopsticks and went to the room, and took out the golden candy that Li Yufeng gave him during the day. He put the pieces of the crickets into a small basket weaved with rattan, reached out his hand and handed the Candy Cunjin to the boy and said, "Do you know who this is for?" When he woke up, saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth

. mouth, make a bazaar bazaar sound. She nodded vigorously, stretched out her small hand and pointed towards Li's house.

When the baby Zhao Guodong and Li Yufeng were still there, sometimes he went up the mountain to catch some good game animals, and Chen Ah-dai secretly sent some to the Li family.

But this was a little secret between him and Chen Ah-Dai. Chen Ah-Dai suffered from meningitis when he was a child, and his brain burned. Now he couldn't even speak, so naturally he wouldn't divulge anything .

...

Li Yufeng brought home the large bone, and asked Chen Zhaodi to boil it. The large bones boiled in the country ground stove were delicious, after two hours of boiling, the gravy was milky white and milky white, and there was a smell of large bone soup on the stove.

She had recently started learning to do household chores with Chen Zhaodi, and she had just learned how to light a clay furnace.

Although it is known that even this clay furnace will become history in the community 30 or 40 years later, ordinary people still rely on it to eat three times a day.

Chen Zhaodi looked at Li Yufeng who was sitting near the stove covered in sweat, she pulled him out and said, "Girl, rest outside." Chen Zhaodi deeply hated Li Yufeng touching this homework, but she also knew that her daughter would never be able to do it when she was an adult, if he did not even know how to light a fire and cook, he would be the one to suffer in the future. Therefore, when Li Yufeng proposed to learn how to use a ground furnace, Chen Zhaodi agreed.

But now that he had learned it, he didn't need to continue doing it.

Li Yufeng's cheeks were flushed red from the firewood on the stove, she stood up from the small stool and wiped the sweat on her cheeks with a handkerchief, but when she looked down, she looked down, he saw a bright-colored sweat stain on it.

He lent Zhao Guodong to wipe this handkerchief during the day, and he did not know why the man smelled so much sweat, so he only lightly wiped it, and it left a mark.

But it's weird to say that I'm obviously a little weird clean, but I don't think it's dirty when I see sweat stains on it ...

Just had a shower, and it was the coolest time of the night. Li Yufeng squeezed out her handkerchief, and when she turned to dry it under the roof, she suddenly saw a shadow flashed behind her from the corner of her body.

He turned his head quickly, and saw no one behind him, only a cornstalk on a private plot in front of the door shook.

Li Yufeng looked up and saw a small rattan basket hanging on a bamboo pole to dry the shoes on the door at some point. He walked over to take a look, and was almost surprised by what was inside.After he recognized what it was, an indescribable feeling came out from his nasal cavity.

How could there be such an honest person in this world? Find these items for him in this hot weather? If the medicine prescribed by the doctor was to pluck the stars in the sky, would he also go to the sky for her?

Li Yufeng took the basket from the bamboo pole, turned around and walked back a few steps, but felt the corn stalks behind her tremble a few more times.

Right now, there was no one around, since he was delivering the goods, what was the point of saying a few words?

"out! I've seen you!" Li Yufeng simply used an aggressive method and shouted standing in front of the cornfield.

The people inside must have heard his words, and the corn stalks immediately stopped shaking, but no one came out, so Li Yufeng felt a little annoyed, and threatened him with a basket: "If you don't come out, I'll get rid of these things." Get down, it looks scary!"

As soon as he said this, the corn stalks trembled quickly again, Li Yufeng looked up, but saw a young boy coming out of the cornfield.

He looked at Li Yufeng in horror, and waved his hands excitedly, as if he was really worried he was going to pour something. Li Yufeng saw that he had candy in his mouth, half a pack of candy open from his tattered pocket, that was what he gave to Zhao Jiadong during the day.

“He gave you candy, did you ask you to bring this to me?” Li Yufeng crouched down, picked up the candy wrapper and asked him.

Chen Duan nodded, although he could not speak, fortunately he still had an IQ and could understand what others were saying.

Li Yufeng's eye cavity was still slightly wet, and there was no denying that she was moved by this cicada, she stood up, looked at him and said, "Don't go, I'll give you some candy as well, and you can bring me something for her too. Li

Yufeng walked into the room and opened the sugar jar on the bedside table. Inside were inch gold candies, rice dumplings, cut cake candies, and white rabbit milk candy that her uncle brought from Shanghai specifically for her. He counted some of them, tied a small bag with a handkerchief, took it out and said to Chen Ah-Dai: "This, this one is for you to eat, you brought this for me, I know how much is in it." it's, you If I eat it secretly, I won't have it next time!" Chen Ah-Dai nodded tenaciously, took the small bag and white rabbit toffee from Li Yufeng, and ran off in a hurry. In an era of scarcity of materials like this, a piece of candy alone can build the happiness of a child. ... Zhao Guodong ate a complete meal, and slept on a spring bench with his hands on his head to enjoy the coolness The wet breath of rain at night calmed him down. As a result, his evil flames slowly subsided throughout the day. Why had he not noticed the goblin-like girl movie before? Until now, Zhao Guodong still felt his face numb, as if the soft hair was still scratching his cheeks, making the blood in each of his pores boil. Grandma Zhao was sitting near the well washing clothes. He flipped the pants that Zhao Guodong was wearing today, and when he wanted to frustrate her with his hand, he frowned and said, "Guodong, come and help me see, you Did his crotch pants tear again?" He had poor eyesight as he got older, and the day began to darken again. "What?" Zhao Guodong sat down from the bench as if she was electrocuted, ran to Grandma Zhao, lowered her head to look at it, and sure enough, she saw ************ the dark blue cotton pants he was wearing today were torn... What is this ? When break? How did it break? Have you been supervised by Li Yufeng? A series of questions made Zhao Guodong blush, he hesitated and said: "Grandmother, then you can redeem me tomorrow ..."

"It needs to be fixed. Last time you had to fix your dress with a broken arm. Too bad I don't have good eyesight. I'm afraid it won't look good once it's fixed. "Grandma sighed and continued: "Wait a minute you get a new shirt for yourself."

Zhao Guodong nodded honestly, and saw Chen Dumbly running from the dike, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he seemed to have successfully completed his task. Zhao Guodong was afraid that Grandma Zhao would ask, so she rushed outside the fence to meet him.Seeing the little man with a silly smile on his face, she raised a small handkerchief in her hand and handed it to him .

Chen Duan looked at Zhao Jiadong with glittering eyeballs, drooling from the corner of his mouth chewing on candy, the milky white candy just stuck to his mouth where his front teeth fell out, and his front teeth fell out, his face was so satisfied that he wanted to take off .

Zhao Guodong took the small package hesitantly, opened it and saw the package filled with a small bag of candy, of all kinds. She suddenly remembered Li Yufeng who was sitting next to her was eating sweets, her lips were red, if she could lick them, it must be sweet as well.

Zhao Guodong gulped, smiled at his always serious face, and asked with a slight satisfaction: "He ... gave it to me?

" Turn around and run fast.
