Chapter 13: Finding the Door
As soon as Erchun fished the noodles into the basin, he saw Li Tiezhu looking at him so stupidly, and couldn't help but feel a little powerless. It was like this in the morning, like this at noon, why is it still like this in the afternoon, it seems that I want him to see that I am not nervous, it is not a day It's a matter of two days.

"What are you doing in a daze, take the noodles to the house first, then wash your hands and wait for the meal to be ready." Erchun didn't say much, picked up the basin and stuffed it into his hand, then turned and went to the west side of the pot.

Li Tiezhu laughed a few times, and then entered the room with the noodles. When he went to the outer room, Erchun also filled the handwashing water for him. Chun, how are you sick?"

"Okay." Seeing him in a daze, Erchun ignored him, looked up and saw his grandfather drove the cows into the yard outside, then pulled a used fertilizer bag over his body, and went out of the house.

It was raining heavily outside, and I was so dazed that I couldn't open my eyes. Seeing that Grandpa's clothes were soaked, Erchun ran over and put the plastic bag on his body on Grandpa's body. Old Zhang disagreed and took it again. Go down and put it on your granddaughter.

"Grandpa, just put on your clothes. I'll go into the house now, so I won't be able to get wet." Erchun thought of his grandfather leaving early after he went to the city in his previous life, and became more determined to take good care of him.

Throwing away the words, he turned back to the house. Erchun took the vegetables out of the pot and made ginger soup. Although Li Tiezhu was dumb, he had eyes for life.

When old man Zhang came in with his clothes all wet, Erchun had already found the dry clothes in the house, "Master, the dry clothes are on the kang, you change them first, I'm going to make ginger soup here too."

"Okay, okay." Old man Zhang saw that Li Tiezhu was here, and he was getting along well with his granddaughter, how could he be unhappy.

After saying good things three times, I went to the east room.

Erchun filled out the ginger soup before letting Li Tiezhu go to eat, "The noodles are almost lumpy, let's go inside and eat."

He raised his head and called to Westinghouse again, "Old Li, it's time to eat."

"Okay, here we come." Li Yanhong in the West Room responded with a loud voice.

Erchun brought ginger soup into the east room. The wet clothes had been thrown on the ground and piled up together. Old man Zhang was sitting cross-legged on the Kang, pouring wine for himself. Li Tiezhu was sitting next to him. Erchun put the ginger soup over. .

"Drink first and then eat."

The old man Zhang smiled and narrowed his eyes, "Chun'er is getting more and more sensible."

Then he drank the ginger soup in a few gulps. Erchun was happy to see it, and felt relieved. He took a bowl to pick noodles for Li Tiezhu. He glanced at it, and it was still so gritty after eating the noodles.

While going down to the ground, "You go to the kang."

Old man Zhang also shouted, "It's just right, come over and have a drink. It's a rainy day. Drink some wine and eat some hot noodles. There's nothing better than this."

"Brother is right. I, Old Li, just want to drink this wine. I can find this thing from you, brother, even in the whole village." Li Yanhong was not polite, but his plain words were also reasonable.

Now it is difficult for every family to have enough food, let alone drink alcohol. It costs [-] cents a catty, and an egg can only be sold for [-] cents. It takes eight eggs to exchange for a catty of wine. Now every family in the countryside is poor, how can they live? If you don’t need the money, you don’t have to buy the other ones, but how can you not eat the oil and salt, all you have to do is save some eggs and sell them for money.

Old man Zhang is a wage earner, with more than 30 yuan a month, 20 yuan of which is for wine, and [-] yuan for Erchun to buy snacks. Both grandpa and grandson are not people who can live. The rich days were also made poor by them.

Erchun didn't understand these things in his previous life, and in this life he will live a new life, so he doesn't care, "Master, if you drink alcohol, you have to have a certain amount. You can't drink like this every day. You are not afraid of spending money, but at your age, you always have to take care of yourself." Improve your health. From now on, you can only drink two taels a day, and you can only drink once."

Old man Zhang answered well and quickly, but Erchun looked at him like that, obviously he didn't care about him at all. He knew that he couldn't be persuaded by a few words, so he could only rely on his own supervision. .

Erchun put another chopstick of vegetables into Li Tiezhu's bowl, "Eat more."

What she cooks is watered noodle soup, which is to boil the noodles and make soup with vegetables. When eating, she picks the noodles in a bowl, and then scoops the vegetable soup into the noodles, so that it is in the sauce jar. The pickles in the pickles pocket, in this rainy late autumn, a bowl can drive away the cold around.

"This pickle is delicious. I remember eating it when I was a child. I haven't eaten it for several years since I went out to fight." Li Yanhong picked another celery stalk and put it in his mouth. I have been following the big city for a long time. If people don't accept me, I will follow, and I can't be chased away. After all, I am young and only touch the tail of a devil. Our old Li also fought in the eight-year civil war. Unfortunately, until Just eat this again now."

She seemed to have thought of something, and the person who was still following the old man Zhang's warm words was depressed at this moment, but when Erchun looked over, it seemed that the depression just now was just her misreading.

Thinking of Li Yanhong being rehabilitated later, Erchun secretly wondered, could it be that he also had some difficulties?
"What delicious food can be found in the countryside? When there are no vegetables, you can rely on pickles and wait for the vegetables in the garden to come down. They all come from the countryside. I ate this since I was a child. I will never forget this mouthful in this life." Old man Zhang was also touched.

"Look, it's my old Li who can't speak, which reminds me of sad things, come on, let's drink." Li Yanhong laughed and laughed, mainly because he was stared at by Erchun, and then realized that he had offended him again.

"It's nothing to hurt, the people whose necks are buried in the loess are waiting to die." The old man Zhang smiled and took a sip of his wine, seeing his granddaughter looking at him with a loving face, "I used to not be able to let go of Erchun, but now Erchun Chun is sensible, and I am worthy of her parents who left early."

On the other hand, he said, "Tie Zhu, you and Erchun have arranged your marriage with your grandfather since the year I returned to the village. It's been so many years, it's almost time to get things done."

"Master, I'll tell my parents when I get home." Li Tiezhu replied with a blushing face, glanced at Erchun and immediately looked away.

Isn't this what he has been looking forward to?

Seeing that his granddaughter didn't object, old man Zhang narrowed his smiling eyes. Li Yanhong would also be smiling at the side, but Erchun knew that he was happy after drinking.

It was raining heavily outside, and the sky was dark, and the lights in the house could just illuminate the yard. The four people who were eating on the kang saw Aunt Li enter the yard with a plastic bag against the rain, and then the door of the outer room opened. As soon as it rang, the next moment people had already entered the house.
