Chapter 314

   Before Mrs. Sun could figure out how to tell Yu Changhe, Yu Changhe opened the door and walked in.

  The weather in the twelfth lunar month was already very cold. As soon as the door was opened, a gust of cold wind poured in from the crack of the door, and Yu Changhe hurriedly closed the door.

  Take off the gray rabbit fur hat on your head, and put it on the table.

   Seeing Mrs. Sun and Yu Xiaolian warming up by the fire, they also moved over and sat down.

  Since the home has a workshop for hot pot bottoms and canning workshops, Yu Changhe has been very busy every day. Fortunately, he does not need to do all the work himself, he only needs to instruct the long-term workers at home to do it.

   "Girl, the oven you were thinking about a while ago has been delivered. When will you start making your roast duck and goose?"

  Yu Xiaolian thought about the ancient clay oven at first, and wanted to use it to bake cakes and biscuits, but failed after several attempts, so she changed her way again and asked someone to customize an iron bucket oven.

  Although there is no war for the time being, the imperial court still strictly controls the ironware. Yu Xiaolian customized these ovens, but it took several months to piece together these ovens.

"Father, roast duck and goose, we have to wait until the new year is over. I'm afraid we won't be able to sell the ducks and geese from the neighborhood. You encourage people in the village to raise more ducks and geese next spring, and say that our family will keep them for a long time." It is the best of both worlds to take care of your own family and bring an income to other families in the village.

  Yu Changhe nodded while stretching out his hands to warm the fire, "Then I'll talk to Qi Lizheng later and let him publicize it in the village."

  Yu Xiaolian glanced at Sun, and winked at her mother, Sun quietly waved at Yu Xiaolian, meaning that now is not the time to talk.

  Yu Xiaolian knew that Mrs. Sun knew Yu Changhe very well, since she said it was not the right time, it would be fine to talk about it in a few days.

  Anyway, she and her mother have reported it. As for when her mother will tell her father, that is her mother's business.

After Yu Xiaolian warmed her body, she ran to lie down on the heated kang in the west wing. There was no kang in her small bamboo building, and it was only suitable for living in summer. Therefore, when it was cold in winter, Yu Xiaolian chose to live in the west wing. In the west wing of the room.

  Yu Changhe warmed up in the room for a while, then put on his gray rabbit fur hat again, and went out.

   Mrs. Sun pushed the door open and entered the west wing room, "I'll talk to Dad when I'm free at night."

  Yu Xiaolian hummed in a daze, the kang was too warm, she couldn't help but drowsy.

   Mrs. Sun sat down on the edge of the kang, her tone full of worry, "Lian'er, have you really thought about the matter of getting engaged to Su Xiucai? You... are a person with a secret, Su Xiucai... is he reliable?"

  Yu Xiaolian knew what Sun was worried about, sat up from the kang, and said in a serious tone, "Mother, he knows all my secrets."

  Sun sighed, "Then... does he know your identity as a Wu clan?"

  Ms. Sun thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more worried she became. Once her daughter's identity as a witch was revealed, his family might be in danger of being ruined.

   Of course, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better.

  Yu Xiaolian remembered what Su Jingchen said some time ago, and fell into deep thought.

  Su Jingchen read a lot of crooked books during this time. He said that there is a plant called Meconopsis in the snow-capped mountains of the Western Regions, which is the nemesis of Gu insects.

   It’s just that this Meconopsis blooms only once in its life, and for this once-in-a-lifetime bloom, it will lie dormant for ten years in the cold snow-capped mountains where no grass grows.

   Meconopsis, can be met but not sought.

  When Su Jingchen and Yu Xiaolian talked about this Meconopsis, Yu Xiaolian's heart was shaken a little, and she even had the urge to get up and go to the Western Regions immediately.

   But thinking of Miao Yingyao saying that there is no solution to longevity Gu, she was a little discouraged.

   Is this Meconopsis useful for longevity Gu?

  Yu Xiaolian decided to go to the Western Regions after arranging the music workshop next year, maybe she might get a chance to be a normal person.

   It's just, ten years, she is not sure what her luck is, can she find Meconopsis, or after finding it, just wait there for it to bloom?

"Mom, I can actually be a normal person, but I may need a very special plant as an antidote. This plant is hard to find. I plan to go to the Western Regions next year to try it." Yu Xiaolian finally endured the pain. I can't help yearning for Meconopsis.

  Sun asked in surprise, "Western Region?"

She has heard about the Western Regions, and heard that the place is full of yellow sand and sparsely populated, but the people there are tall and burly, with curly hair, big beards, deep eye pits, very fierce .

  Ms. Sun raised her heart, if Yu Xiaolian went so far alone, she would be worried!

   "Lian'er, how far is the Western Region from our place?" Sun has only heard of the Western Region, but she doesn't know how far it is from here.

  Yu Xiaolian frowned, "Mother, it's very far away. I don't know how far it is. Anyway, it's farther than when we came to Luocheng from Yangcheng."

   Moreover, the snow is difficult to climb. In order to seek Meconopsis, they went to climb the snow mountain, and they froze to death on the mountainside. There are countless people who never return.

  If it wasn't for Yu Xiaolian's space, she wouldn't have the courage to climb the snow mountain.

  Ms. Sun gasped, "Lian'er, if you insist on going, Mother will not stop you, but you must not sneak there alone, you need to bring more talents."

  Yu Xiaolian shook her head, "Mother, I can't take people there, I can hide in the space alone if I encounter danger, but if I bring other people, it will be inconvenient to enter and exit the space.

  Besides, it’s up to me whether this Meconopsis can be found. If I don’t find it, I might not come back within three to five years, and it’s not appropriate for me to take anyone away. "

  Sun originally wanted Yu Xiaolian to take Yu Changhe, but when Yu Xiaolian said that she would not come back in three to five years, Sun hesitated.

  Yu Xiaolian held Mrs. Sun's hand, "Mother, after I'm gone, tell the public that I'm traveling.

   Don't worry if I don't come back in five years, I'm probably just waiting for that Meconopsis to bloom. "

Sun's tears couldn't stop, "Lian'er, let's move from the north to this unfamiliar Los Angeles, no one will know your life experience, or... let's not go to the snow mountain to take that risk? Too Far away... Lian'er... Mother can't bear you."

  Yu Xiaolian sighed, "Mom, I don't want to go either, but I have no other choice. I have to go. I wear colored contact lenses every day for three years. If things go on like this, my eyes can't stand it. I might become blind when I get older."

  Ms. Sun wiped away tears, "Lian'er, then don't go out, just stay indoors, don't wear that thing again."

  Yu Xiaolian was helpless, "Mother, what's the difference between that and the bird in my cage?"

  When Su Jingchen told her about Meconopsis, Yu Xiaolian had already made up her mind to go to the Western Regions, but she didn't show it in front of Su Jingchen.

  Su Jingchen wanted to go to the Western Regions with her, but Yu Xiaolian felt that it was better to go by herself. If Su Jingchen went with her, wouldn't it delay his future?

  Although Yu Xiaolian has made up her mind about going to the Western Regions, she doesn't plan to go after the next year, but plans to make the trip after the music workshop is operating normally.

  If Sun Shi hadn't mentioned it just now, Yu Xiaolian would never have talked about this topic with Sun Shi so early.

   Mrs. Sun was silent.

After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Since you want to go to the snow mountain and wait for that meconopsis that is not sure when it will bloom, then you and Su Xiucai will be engaged, wouldn't it be... If you don't come back in three or five years, Su Xiucai will ..."

   This time Yu Xiaolian was silent.

In Yu Xiaolian's mind, if Su Jingchen can't wait for her for three to five years, then he can't be her lover, but if he sneaks away without saying a word, maybe Su Jingchen can't help but worry about her. focus on studying.

  Yu Xiaolian thought about it for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt a headache, so she simply said, "Mother, don't talk to my father about getting engaged to Su Jingchen, wait until I think about it."

"Mother, in case I really go to the Western Regions next year, I don't know how long it will take to come back after this trip. You and my father must be well. If there is another war or civil strife, you should go to the city immediately." Live in a house. Once the city gate is closed, it will be much safer than in the village, you know?

   You must save enough food and so on. Don’t go out to give food out of pity for others, and take care of yourself in everything. "

  Sun is worried about Yu Xiaolian going to the Western Regions alone, and Yu Xiaolian is also worried about Yu Changhe and Sun.

  Yu Xiaolian was afraid that if she left, the Sun family and Yu Changhe would lose their backbone. After all, in the past few years, she was the one who made decisions about all business matters.

  Yu Changhe is too soft-hearted. Although Mrs. Sun is a person with ideas, Yu Xiaolian is also afraid that her feet will go numb when encountering major events.

   "Mother, if there is trouble, the most important thing is to protect your own safety. If you lose money, you can earn it again. If you lose people, you will lose everything."

  Yu Xiaolian is not afraid of anything else, but is afraid that the Yu family will become richer and more prosperous, and some bandits will attack them.

  Although Los Angeles is very safe now, as long as there is civil strife, hordes of bandits will spring up everywhere.

  Ms. Sun hugged Yu Xiaolian, "Lian'er...mother can't let you go..."

  Although it's not yet time to say goodbye, Mrs. Sun is already heartbroken.

  Yu Xiaolian patted Sun on the back to comfort her, "Mother, your daughter is a person favored by heaven, and I will definitely come back safely.

   On the contrary, it is you who make me worry.

  You remember, once you hear the news of the war, you must move the whole family to live in the city.

Once it becomes chaotic, it will not stop within a few years. Bandits will be everywhere at that time. They will burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of bad things. Our family is so big that people will be the first to rob our house. So, once there is Hearing the wind, he hurried into the city to seek refuge. "

  Mr. Sun nodded, wiped away tears, "I see, I see.

   Lianer...then when do you plan to leave? "

  Yu Xiaolian thought for a while, "Next autumn at the earliest."

   That means there is still nearly a year left, and Mrs. Sun feels at ease.

  After Yu Xiaolian talked with Sun, the drowsiness disappeared, so he simply got off the ground and put on his shoes, "Mother, how many vegetables are there in our vegetable cellar, is it enough for you guys to survive the winter?"

  Sun said, "Enough, in autumn, your father brought back several carts of radishes, cabbage and potatoes, and the two vegetable cellars were filled, so you don't have to worry about us running out of food.

   That is, your father is hungry now, he always thinks about the spicy dried fish in your supermarket, saying that it tastes good with wine. "

   "That's easy, I'll pick some more for my dad later, put him in a jar, and eat slowly!" Yu Xiaolian put on her shoes, "Mom, I'm going to take a stroll in the backyard."

  Ms. Sun grabbed Yu Xiaolian, "By the way, mother forgot to ask you, do you have any news about your uncle Erji and your uncle Wulin?

   Isn’t Chinese New Year coming soon? Two days ago, your fourth grandpa and fifth grandpa both came to ask, just want to know if they are dead or alive. "

  If this person is definitely gone, they will set up a memorial tablet if they should, and burn paper money if they want to burn paper money, but now they don’t know if this person is alive or dead.

  Bringing this matter up, Yu Xiaolian also had a headache. It was clear that Jiang Lin had been in close contact with her by letter some time ago, but for some reason, the news suddenly disappeared.

   Could it be that something happened to Jiang Lin?

"Mother, since June, Jiang Lin hasn't replied to my letter, so I can't say what the situation of the two uncles is now." According to Yu Xiaolian, Sun Erji and Sun Wulin are probably gone. up.

  Gao Yishui has been back for more than half a year. If Sun Erji and Sun Wulin were also dismissed, they should have arrived in Yuzhou long ago. If they haven't been here for so long, there are nine out of ten accidents.

   "Oh, if your uncle Erji can't come back, how will your second aunt live?" Sun sighed.

  Although Sun Erji's wife is busy every day and looks like a normal person, she is very dull, like a marionette without a soul.

  Especially looking at couples from other people’s families, the loneliness in Sun Erji’s wife’s eyes should not be too obvious. Seeing Sun Erji’s daughter-in-law like this, Sun felt very sorry for her.

As for Sun Wulin's daughter-in-law, that person is exactly the opposite of Sun Erji's daughter-in-law. The days before were much better, and she didn't think about her man who was arrested at all.

   "Mother, if you have nothing to do, talk to my second aunt more heart-to-heart, and comfort her!" Yu Xiaolian is not good at comforting others, she only hates iron for being weak.

  Sometimes when she sees Sun Erji's daughter-in-law's unhappy appearance, she can't get angry.

  Let’s not say whether your man is dead or not. Even if you really get the news, if you are really dead, then you still have a son and a daughter. Even if it is for your children, you should cheer up.

  If you are a mother, you are strong. If you die, who will your sons and daughters rely on in the future?

  Yes, the child's grandfather is good, and the uncle is good, but no matter how good others are, they are not the child's real parents. Sun Manjiao and Sun Manzhi have no father, so should they lose their mother again?

  Sun sighed, "I can't persuade her. Every time I started, she would cry so hard that I felt uncomfortable, my mind went blank, and I couldn't speak."
