Chapter 19: I Don’t Know My Shoe Size
Yang Geyong stared at the canned food. He shook his head like a rattle.
"I don't want anything."
Ye Yuze smiled and pointed to a can of hawthorn and said:
"Bring that to me!"
Then he paused for a moment. He pointed to a bottle of wine and said, "Bring that to me too."
In that era, there was no fruit to eat in winter. Only when you were sick, adults would occasionally buy a bottle of canned food to comfort you.
For children, this thing is much more effective than medicine. I guess many children would think when eating canned food.
"How nice it would be if I was sick every day!"
The salesperson was no longer boastful at this time. She knew that this child was too powerful. Although she was not afraid, there was no need to feel uncomfortable! Just ignore him next time.
A bottle of canned food is 80 cents. A bottle of 68-degree Tacheng Baigan is 1.2 yuan. Plus ice skates are 3.8 yuan.
It turns out that the ice skates have been reduced in price, which is a pleasant surprise for the two.
After buying things, the two hurried back. No way, the ponytail holder has not been collected yet!
It took half an hour to rush back, and ended up meeting a group of kids skating there.
A short, anxious-looking older kid kept tapping the ice with his snow poles. He was skating very fast on the ice!
Ye Yuze saw his younger brother sitting on the sled with envy, looking at them. And the little girl Wei Yucui was trying to pull the sled. She wanted to run.
But she was young and not strong enough, and the ice was too slippery. The sled didn't run. She fell down.
And Ye Yufan, that idiot, didn't pay any attention to Wei Yucui. His eyes were still circling around the person skating.
He didn't stand up until Wei Yucui started crying, and he went to pull her. He was still full of disgust.
"Why are you crying? Girls are the most annoying!"
At this time, the guy skating slid in front of him and turned around. He whistled at Ye Yufan.
"Are you envious? Is it fun?"
Before Ye Yufan nodded, he said it again.
"I won't let you play with it no matter how fun it is! You poor bastard, buy it yourself if you want to play!"
Ye Yufan's face was full of anger, and he pouted and wanted to cry. But he finally held back.
"Snap!"
A sound startled Ye Yufan, and he looked down. It turned out to be a pair of ice skates wrapped in paper and tied with ropes.
The reason why he knew it was ice skates was because the paper was not wrapped tightly, and he could see it at a glance.
Ye Yufan picked it up happily. Only then did he turn his head to see where it came from.
As a result, he saw his brother standing behind him.
Ye Yuze patted his brother's head.
"These are the ice skates that I bought for you. Our family plays with new ones. Who wants those things picked up from the recycling station!"
The big boy looked gloomy and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after seeing Yang Geyong next to Ye Yuze.
Yang Geyong looked at him with disdain.
"Ma Guojun, you have the ability to bully children, right? How about we try it?"
Ma Guojun looked at him, tapped his snow pole, and left again.
Ye Yuze asked, "Who is this?"
"This is Ma Hongkui's son. He has the same bad intentions as his father!"
Yang Geyong's tone was a little contemptuous.
Ye Yuze was a little stunned.
"His father looks big and strong, why is he so thin?"
Yang Geyong shook his head, "It seems that he is not his father's biological son. I don't know the details."
Ye Yuze nodded, this is probably true.
Not to mention the figure, even the facial features are very different.
Ye Yuze let his brother skate by himself. He followed Yang Geyong to climb Nanshan.
Unexpectedly, after reaching the top of the mountain, he was given a big surprise. He caught a snow chicken and two pigeons.
Ye Yuze couldn't figure out why this thing would eat something caught. It can't be that these three things were caught at the same time.
I am naturally happy when I get something. The two divided the spoils and went home.
However, Ye Yuze and Yang Geyong did not go home after they separated.
Instead, they came to the dugout. At this time, the adults were not off work yet.
He stood at the door and called out. "Uncle Wu, are you there?"
"Who is it?" A somewhat weak voice came from inside.
Hearing Wu Tianming inside. Ye Yuze lifted the curtain and walked in.
The light in the room was very dim. Wu Tianming curled up in the quilt and wrote something in a notebook.
Seeing Ye Yuze coming in, he quickly put the notebook away.
"Yuze is here? Come and sit down."
Wu Tianming wanted to get off the bed. But he was stopped by Ye Yuze.
He raised the snow chicken in his hand. "Uncle Wu, Yang Geyong and I just caught a snow chicken. Bring it to you and stew it to nourish your body."
"Did your father ask you to send it?"
Wu Tianming asked after a moment of stunned.
Ye Yuze shook his head, "My dad asked me to come and see you when I have nothing to do. I just caught a snow chicken. I brought it here directly."
Wu Tianming quickly declined, "Then take it back quickly. Take it home and stew it yourself."
Snow chickens are not only delicious, but also nutritious.
But it is very difficult to catch. Mainly, they are active in places far away from people. And they are very alert.
You just shoot with a gun. Before you reach the effective range, they will fly away.
So, Wu Tianming resolutely refused.
Ye Yuze smiled and took out the bottle of wine from his arms.
"Uncle Wu, don't be polite. My dad asked me to bring it to you.
He said your room is too damp, and drinking some wine is good for you. But don't drink too much, your heart is not good. "
Wu Tianming suddenly stopped talking, his eyes sparkling. Ye Yuze stopped talking too.
At this time, the water in the kettle on the stove just boiled. Ye Yuze put the snow chicken in the basin, picked up the kettle and poured it.
Soon, the snow chicken was chopped into pieces and put into the pot.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Ye Yuze picked up the bucket in the house and walked out.
Wu Tianming called him a few times from behind, but he ignored it.
There is no running water in this place. You have to go to the river to pick it up.
Dig a hole by the river, and clear water will come out in a while.
There is no soil by the river here, it's all sand and stones. So don't worry about it being unclean.
Even the water in the river is clear. The reason why I still dug a pit by the river, in fact, it was just to filter it once more.
It’s a bit difficult to carry water now, because it’s all frozen.
But there were many people carrying water in the morning. So the ice in the pit was not thick.
Ye Yuze moved a stone and smashed it open.
The buckets in northern Xinjiang are all small buckets, the kind of iron buckets that are thick on the top and thin on the bottom. It only takes two basins to pour into the washbasin.
Fortunately, it’s a small bucket, otherwise Ye Yuze really can’t lift it at his age.
Wu Tianming’s cave is not far from the river. But Ye Yuze’s steps are also weak after carrying this load of water back.
There is no way, the body is too young.
Ye Yuze put the bucket away and went home to cook. When mom and dad come back, there will be ready-made food.
During the new book period, everyone is welcome to collect and recommend.
