Bai Su found a clean empty bowl on the small table, poured another box of dumplings into it, and said in a heartbeat, "When I went there, there were only two sweat vests left. I don’t know the size. I bought them all, anyway, as long as I can wear them."

    She shook her hands when she lied, and a dumpling fell on the table, and she quickly caught her eyes and hands in the bowl again. Then she smiled and said, "Uncle, then I can I went back."

    Xie Chong glanced at the remaining dumplings, only frowned: "Why do you bring so many here, I can't finish it by myself."

    Of course, Bai Su knows that he can't finish it by himself, but She also knew that Xu Jian'an would come here every night to make up lessons, and that so many dumplings were enough for two people.

    "Eat slowly if you can't finish it!" Bai Su walked out of the cowshed happily.

    ****** When

    she returned to the educated youth dormitory, the big guys had basically had lunch and were resting in the dormitory.

    Ji Lanying had already left her a bowl of dumplings. Bai Su was eating while listening to Ji Lanying’s words: "You don’t know, the big guy saw me eating dumplings, it was really gluttonous and drooling, especially that Li Hui, her eyes were bigger than Tongling. She went to Uncle Liu and asked him why we have dumplings to eat?"

    Ji Lanying said, while mimicking Li Hui's look so vividly that Bai Su couldn't help it. He laughed: "Is it such an exaggeration?"

    "It's not an exaggeration at all!" Ji Lanying rolled around on the bed with a smile: "I used to think she was not such an exaggeration. The eldest lady can also bend down for a bowl of dumplings."

    In those hard times, even people with better family conditions like Li Hui would only make dumplings for the holidays.

    Besides, they still boiled the oily residue in the cafeteria. The smell and the lethality are too strong.

    “If you don’t have the dumplings left, let’s let Uncle Liu make fried dumplings at night. Let each of them have a taste.” Bai Su tasted delicious dumplings. He really felt that these dumplings are unique in the world. .

    "Everyone eat together?" This thought made Ji Lanying feel a little distressed, "I've been busy for an hour and a half, so it's cheaper for them? I'm not even willing to give him a taste of Liu Zheng!"

    "You, you... "Bai Su couldn't help but laughed. Years later, everyone left this place one after another, but who can remember the dumplings tonight?

    ******I

    went to the commune in the morning, and threshing at the drying farm in the afternoon. It was not until dark that Xu Jianan went home to take a cold shower and hurriedly came to Xie Chong's cowshed.

    Xie Chong had already lighted an oil lamp in the cow shed. He rarely moved the small table away from the window and placed it on the only open space in the house. There were a plate of dumplings, a plate of fried, and a plate on it. Peanuts, and two small wine glasses.

    When Xie Chong is in a good mood, Xie Chong will want to drink two glasses of small wine. The only person who can accompany him is Xu Jian'an.

    "You haven't eaten dinner yet?" Xie Chong greeted Xu Jian'an to sit down, only smiled and said: "I have something rare to entertain people, so I wanted to call you over." He quietly left Xu Jian'an in the afternoon. I wrote a message and asked him to come over to drink with him at night.

    The dumplings were cooked at noon and steamed again in the pot, steaming from the top.

    Xu Jianan remembered that at the door of the educated youth dormitory during the day, Bai Su said he wanted to make dumplings.

    Jiu picked up

    everything and tidyed up. If she knew that the dumplings she worked so hard to make had fallen into his belly, she didn't know how she would feel.

    "This dumpling is not bad." Xu Jianan mentioned the chopsticks, but they did not fall down. He always feels that there is no merit, how can he eat dumplings made by her?

    "If you think it's good, try it." Xie Chong didn't see the doubts in Xu Jianan's heart. He only reached out and put a dumpling in the vinegar dish in front of him: "I really didn't expect that my fingers would not touch Yang Chunshui.

    My niece, the cooking skills are really good now." Xu Jianan took a bite with the vinegar saucer, the dumplings were thin and filled with stuffing, the juice flowed out along the gap, and the mouthful was full of fragrance.

    He didn't know how long he hadn't eaten dumplings. The last time he had eaten dumplings in his memory was before his mother Liang Xiuju fell ill. His grandfather and grandmother were still alive that year, and the days were hard, but people were reunited.

    Eating dumplings originally meant reunion, but now his home is in dilapidated condition.

    Xu Jianan only felt that his nose was sour, which was even more sour than the vinegar in the vinegar dish.

    "Like you, I haven't eaten dumplings for many years." Xie Chong only sighed: "I ate dumplings last time. It was the year before I was sent down. After eating the reunion dumplings, I arrived here. The stream is coming."

    Xie Chong only paused when he was talking about the dim oil lamp. He saw Xu Jian'an's red eyes, and his tears fluttered in his eyes, but they didn't fall in the end.

    "Come, come, have another drink." Xie Chong only raised his glass and said: "Dumplings are the more and more wine you drink."

    The sorrow passed in a flash, Xu Jianan raised the glass, touched Xie Chong, and touched that one. A strong, spicy wine poured into the throat.

    ****** After the

    wheat was harvested and threshed, the educated youths did not usher in a break time, and they were engaged in vigorous plowing labor.

    At that time, each commune had an agricultural machinery station to plan the work of farming machines in the commune during the busy period. However, because the Liuxi Brigade was located in a hilly area and there was too little flat land, the area used for agricultural machinery was very small, and most of the fields were still needed. The old scalpers and manpower come to the ground.

    The hardest part of such days is Xie Chong, who has to pull the cow out almost before dawn, plowing in the paddy field with bare feet, and often soaking in the water for a whole day. When I get up, my feet are already there. Gray hair sheds its skin.

    The fields that have been plowed with oxen can only be sown paddy fields after the members continue to raking and raking.

    Sometimes Bai Su saw Xie Chong by the ridge, only looking at her from a distance, but the man never looked at her. He still bent over and drove the cow forward slowly.

    Such days have lasted for five or six days. When all the fields in the team have been turned over and the rice seeds have been planted, the educated youths finally ushered in a short free time.

    She asked someone to greet the family next door, and was able to borrow the sewing machine the next day, so she hurriedly went to the bullpen to measure the size of the clothes for Xie Chong.

    In the past two days, she was thinking about getting a bicycle to ride. Many of their educated youths have bicycles, but unfortunately they are all very old styles, bulky and heavy. Even if she flips up, she won't be able to ride for long.

    Last time in the commune, I saw the man riding the permanent brand two-eight bar but it was not bad. It was the latest style. Although it was also a male model, she should be able to ride it, and it could carry both people and cargo.

    It's just... the price makes Bai Su a little daunting.

    "Uncle, I want to buy a bicycle." Bai Su thought for a while, and said to Xie Chong, "Last time you gave me the remittance slip, it was borrowed from me first, and I will pay it back when I have money. Here you are."

    "Whatever you borrow or not, just use it to spend it." Xie Chong thought it was a big deal, and just smiled and said: "It's useless for me to ask for money. This was originally for you."     Bai Su didn’t think so. The reason why she received the remittance order last time was because when she went to the commune, she went to the post office and sent the money back to her aunt. Her uncle said it.     "Then I'll spend it first?" Bai Su thought about it and went back when the time came. There was no lumps in his heart. Seeing that Xie Chong was still wearing a torn sweat vest, he couldn't help asking: "Uncle, I Why didn't you wear the new sweat vest that I bought you last time?" The     point is...she didn't see Xu Jianan wearing new clothes, so this clothes...hasn't it been sent out yet?

    "I can still wear clothes on my body. I'm anxious to wear new clothes." Xie Chong only smiled and said: "It's you, the little girl's family. Buy more beautiful materials to make new clothes. What kind of clothes are you going to make for me? . " "

    ...... "so ...... undershirt that really has not sent out? Bai Su was a little anxious and thought for a while and said, "Uncle, let me wash those two clothes for you. The new clothes need to be washed in one water before they are comfortable."     As long as she opens and washes, Xie Chong can see it naturally. One of the clothes is big...Bai Su thought to himself, based on his relationship with Xu Jian'an, he would definitely give Xu Jian'an the big sweat vest.     Last time the dumplings... Xu Jianan had them too! She was about to look for the clothes, but Xie Chong stopped her and said, "Don't don't...don't wear it yet...what to wash...new clothes of course have to be worn new!"     ******     Bai Su came back from the cowshed and saw that Ji Lanying was not in the dormitory. A chattering voice came from the cafeteria in the back row. Several female educated youths surrounded the city and were making rice dumplings over there.     Last night, the big guy raised three catties of meat tickets and asked Liu Zheng to buy meat from the commune the next morning and agreed to make zongzi together for the festival.     This is their first festival since they came to Willow Creek, and the big guys are very happy.     Bai Su almost forgot that today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is also...Xu Jian'an's birthday.     "Susu, why did you come here!" Ji Lanying saw Bai Su coming in, only beckoned to her, and pointed at the rice dumplings she had just wrapped and said: "Look, the dumplings I wrapped are not bad, right?"     They are all number one. This time I went out. I had never done anything like this before at home. Now I have finally managed to pack a few rice dumplings. They are all proud of it. Only Li Hui, holding the reed leaf in his hand, tossed over and over again. The appearance of a zongzi.     "You can pack it, I won't pack it anymore." Li Hui dropped the zongzi leaves and got up to leave.

    Ji Lanying grabbed her and said: "Why don't you do anything, let you wash the rice, and dislike the rice is too heavy, let you wrap the rice dumplings, but you don't pack..." Ji Lanying looked at the sheets that were about to be crushed by her. Reed Leaf deliberately said, "Are you not good at making rice dumplings?"
