After crossing the border, I rely on craftsmanship to eat

The carriage swayed from the pale white sky in the morning to the dusky sky.The setting sun clings to the top of the mountain, shining with afterglow.

Dong Chuanlin's mood changed from excitement at the beginning to dullness, as the long journey drained his enthusiasm for returning home.After yawning, he lazily got out of the car with his bag.

The carriage stopped at the back door of Yicaotang Pharmacy in Daishan Town. After Dong Chuanlin thanked the coachman, he went straight to the bustling market.

In a few days, Dong Chuanfang was going to get married. During this period of time, the Dong family was busy with the marriage, and I don't know if Dong Chuanliang would have time to set up a noodle stall.

Walking into the vegetable market, as he expected, the noodle stall was not open.Tables, chairs, benches, cooking tables are piled up in one place and covered with a large piece of oiled paper.

Dong Chuanlin stayed in front of this pile of sundries for the first time in half a year, feeling a little nostalgic and somewhat emotional.

When he came to the big banyan tree where the ox cart was driven, he went around a few times and didn't see Uncle Li. In desperation, Dong Chuanlin walked home with his pack.

Wait for a while, maybe Uncle Li will appear soon, and he can take a leisurely ride home in a bullock cart.But Dong Chuanlin didn't want to wait, and returned to the familiar environment, his tired mood disappeared without a trace.

He was very excited now, wishing he could rush home and meet the person he was thinking of.

The journey was long, and Dong Chuanlin was full of energy. He didn't stop for a rest, and went home as fast as he could.

Entering the village, the neighbors who have little relationship with each other become amiable after not seeing each other for a long time.The short distance from the village entrance to Dong's house, Dong Chuanlin kept talking all the way, saying hello one by one.

Fleeing from the overly enthusiastic neighbourhood, Dong Chuanlin finally came to his door.

As soon as he stood still, before he could feel melancholy, he was discovered by Liu Yue.As soon as she stepped out of the door of the stove, she caught a glimpse of the figure at the door from the corner of her eye, put the wooden basin in her hand on the ground casually, and rushed over excitedly.

Seeing this, Dong Chuanlin hurried forward and shouted with a smile on his face, "Mother, I'm back."

"Chuanlin, my son." Liu Yue held his hand, tears in her eyes, "Why didn't you send a letter home in advance, so that your father can pick you up in the town?" She took the bag and pulled As he walked in, he shouted: "Chuan Lin is back home, my family Chuan Lin is back home!"

Hearing the movement, Dong Chuanfang helped Mrs Yu out of the room.

"Sister-in-law," after Dong Chuanlin greeted Mrs. Yu, he turned to Dong Chuanfang, "Sister, I'm back."

As soon as the words were finished, Dong Chuanfang couldn't hold back her tears. She raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, and said, "Hey, just come back. Come on, let's go inside and rest."

"Yes, let's go into the house, let's go in." Liu Yue couldn't close her mouth with a smile. She felt relieved and satisfied because her children had a good relationship.

The four of them entered the room together, Dong Chuanlin looked around and asked, "Why didn't you see father and elder brother?"

"Your elder brother went to Mount Dai with Brother Han, and father is in the vegetable field." Shi Yu sat down on the stool with his stomach propped up.

Dong Chuanlin frowned, "What are Brother Song and Brother Song doing on Mount Dai? Hunting?"

"Yes," said Yu again: "Sister Fang is going to get married in a few days, your elder brother is thinking about whether he can bring home a pheasant or a hare to make up for Sister Fang."

Dong Chuanfang, who was going to pour water, heard this as soon as he entered the door, and couldn't help but blushed a little, and murmured: "Sister-in-law, don't make fun of me."

"Thank you, Second Sister." Dong Chuanlin took the big bowl with both hands, "Sister, don't be so busy, sit down and talk together." After speaking, he boldly drank the water in the bowl in one gulp.

Looking at Dong Chuanfang's red face, Yu couldn't help teasing again: "Sister Fang has to eat more meat these few days, keep her hydrated, and save a lot of effort when she gets married and puts on makeup."

"Sister-in-law, you still say..." Dong Chuanfang was fidgeting, and his blushing face became even more festive.

Liu Yue brought two warm sweet potatoes into the house from the stove, "This is left over from the morning, you should hurry up and fill your stomach, there is still a while before dinner."

During the journey, Dong Chuanlin only ate before departure, and was busy listening to his second sister and sister-in-law chatting and joking. He didn't feel very hungry. Now he smelled the aroma of sweet potatoes, and his stomach gurgled loudly.

After eating and drinking enough, Dong Chuanlin proposed to meet Dong Guangcheng in the vegetable field.After the excitement passed, Liu Yue continued to work, and let him go out after a few words.

Dong Chuanlin ran happily along the field path, he not only wanted to see his father, but also wanted to see his eldest brother, to meet someone.

Seeing Dong Guangcheng bending over to hoe the ground from a distance, Dong Chuanlin quickened his pace and shouted as he ran, "Father!"

Dong Guangcheng turned his head when he heard the shout.

"Father, my son is back!"

People in the surrounding fields looked at him in unison when they heard the movement. Dong Chuanlin ran up to Dong Guangcheng excitedly with undiminished enthusiasm.

The way men express their feelings is much more restrained than that of women. Dong Guangcheng didn't express his joy too much. He just patted him on the shoulder several times and said several times: "It's good to be back..."

Dong Chuanlin helped pull the weeds on one side, and the father and son chatted without saying a word.Most of the questions were asked by Dong Guangcheng about his feelings and practice in the medicine shop.

After being quiet for a while, Dong Chuanlin asked: "I heard from my sister-in-law that elder brother went hunting with Brother Song to Daishan?"

Dong Guangcheng said while digging: "Yes, these few days I have been busy with your second sister's affairs, and Chuanliang didn't go to set up a stall. It happened to be a little free in the afternoon, so your elder brother went up the mountain with Brother Song."

"Is that so?" After getting the answer, Dong Chuanlin continued to pull the weeds, a little more absent-minded in his movements.

The rough-tempered Dong Guangcheng didn't notice the younger son's reaction at all, he worked hard to hoe the ground, and commanded from time to time: "After pulling out the grass here, go over there to see if there is any grass."

Dong Chuanlin, who still wanted to find an excuse to sneak away, was discouraged, obediently pulled out the grass in the field in front of him, and then obediently went to the place pointed by his father.

He thought again, it's better not to go to Daishan, the sun is about to go down, and he can go to him at night.

After planning the itinerary, Dong Chuanlin was in a lighter mood, and the movements of pulling weeds were neater.

The father hoeed the ground, and the son pulled the weeds. They kept busy until the sun was shining in the sky, and then they stopped and went home.As soon as he walked from the field ridge to the forest path, Dong Chuanlin heard someone shouting behind him.

"Father, Chuanlin, wait for me."

Looking back, it turned out to be Dong Chuanliang.With a bamboo basket on his back and a thick wooden stick in his hand, he ran towards the two of them ecstatically.If it weren't for the smile on his face, beaming, it would really be mistaken for someone who came to beat someone up.

Dong Chuanliang appeared together with Han Song.

Seeing his father and younger brother in front, Dong Chuanliang didn't care about Han Song, turned his head and made a quick confession, and chased him excitedly.Only Han Song was left standing there.

Dong Chuanliang was very excited to see his younger brother, and just walked up to him and gave Dong Chuanlin a big hug.After chatting for a while, the three went home together.

Dong Chuanlin only had a quick glance before he was busy answering the eldest brother's question.Before saying hello, he was dragged to go home again, his heart itched so hard that he slowed down and deliberately walked behind.

He turned his head and saw that Han Song didn't move at all, and was still standing there. Seeing that he hadn't responded for a long time, Han Song smiled with his mouth pulled.

The distance between the two is not far, Dong Chuanlin has good eyes, he can see the smile on the corner of Han Song's mouth at a glance.

That not-so-warm smile pierced into Dong Chuanlin's heart, warming all directions.

Dong Chuanlin stopped unconsciously, turned around, and looked at him seriously.With a distance of not too long, the eyes of the two met.

Dong Chuanlin waved to him.

Han Song's smile was even worse. The wind shaved his face sorely. He also raised his arms, imitating the other party's movements, and waved unskillfully.

The waving gesture was like a signal, hitting Dong Chuanlin's nerves.

He reacted suddenly, turned around hastily, and ran towards Dong Guangcheng and Dong Chuanliang in front.

Dong Chuanlin thought he stayed for a long time, but he only ran a few steps quickly and easily caught up with the two in front.He was so excited that his tongue got stuck and he couldn't speak clearly.

Fortunately, Dong Chuanliang was careful, and when he saw Han Song not far away, he understood the younger brother's thoughts.

"On the first day you go home, you have to eat at home, don't play too late, go home early."

"Okay." Dong Chuanlin grinned and nodded, "Brother Song and I will say hello and come back. I'm sure we won't miss dinner."

Seeing that the two continued to walk towards home, and the distance was getting farther and farther away, Dong Chuanlin took a deep breath, turned around and ran towards Han Song with great purpose.

Seeing him panting, Han Song couldn't help laughing, "Why are you in such a hurry, can I run?"

Dong Chuanlin shook his head immediately after nodding, and said seriously, "I'm afraid you'll wait too long."

I was also afraid of waiting too long.

"It's not too late." Han Song raised his foot and walked towards his home. The Han family was in the village and had to cross another road.After the people around him caught up with him, he said again, "Why did you run here without telling you?"

"Didn't you call me?" Dong Chuanlin deliberately pretended to be stupid, "Didn't you just wave for me to come over? You will turn your face when someone comes."

Han Song can't laugh or cry, who is going to turn his face.

"Think about it again, did I wave for you to come over?"

"Why, you're still threatening." Dong Chuanlin's face sank, and he said angrily: "Even if I was wrong, so what, you can still drive me back."

Han Song put away his jokes, stopped teasing him, and said seriously: "Then say goodbye, you'd better go home with me."

A simple sentence, when it comes out of his mouth, it sounds like a love story.

come home with me...

Dong Chuanlin followed beside him, kicked the small stones on the ground with his toes, and muttered in a low voice, "What a fart, who said I want to go home with you."

Han Song, who usually has sharp ears, didn't react at all, but his eyebrows and eyes were slightly bent.

When he came to Han's house, Dong Chuanlin had a different feeling in his heart, which was completely different from his feeling when he returned to Dong's house. He couldn't explain clearly, but he felt very comfortable.

Han Songduo greeted him, said "sit down first" and went to work.

Dong Chuanlin sat down on the stone bench, supported his head with one hand, and watched Han Song walking back and forth in the small yard.

He brought tea for a while, a plate of dried bayberry for a while, and took out ripe soft persimmons from the basket.

Dong Chuanlin was not interested in the snacks on the table, after taking a sip of tea, he looked helplessly at the people who were busy back and forth.He had a good harvest. In the cold winter, he also killed two pheasants and a gray rabbit.

Han Song, who was dealing with the prey, felt Dong Chuanlin's unabashed gaze, which was too direct and hot, he couldn't dodge it in time, and was defeated after a while.

"I gave you all the salted peanuts at home before. You only have these to eat. You should eat them quickly and keep staring at me."

Dong Chuanlin shook his head, "I don't want to eat."

"Then what do you want to do?"

As soon as the words fell, Han Song regretted immediately, annoyed that he was not careful and fell into his pit so quickly.

"I want to talk to you," Dong Chuanlin paused, and then said, "I haven't seen you in half a year. Don't you want to ask something? I can tell you without reservation."

Han Song opened and closed his mouth, and he didn't make a sound for a long time. Finally, he sighed, washed his hands and walked towards the stone bench.

I haven't seen him for half a year, and this kid is getting more and more proficient at seducing people. Han Song wants to take back what he said a long time ago.

If a foolish boy becomes a servant boy, he won't be able to take away the souls of all the brothers in the city.

including him.
