Chapter 40: The Bet Next
"Now the outside world is not too peaceful, you are a lesbian when you go out, be careful of being abducted into the mountains. Besides, what are you looking for? It's just a fight, do you have a marriage certificate with him? No. And this kind of thing is now a common phenomenon all over the country, and people even abandon their children, not to mention that you have nothing to do with him. ”
"At most, it was a trouble, and the superior leader slightly punished Zhao Erzhu for his improper handling of things, and recorded a small demerit, and then he would compensate you with some money, and send a telegram back to warn the people in his family not to trouble you. ”
"And then? The people of the old Zhao family know, do you think they are willing to give up? If they can't find you, they will definitely find trouble with your father and mother at that time, although you have broken off the relationship with your father and mother. But after all, it is blood and family, and it can't be broken just by saying it, and it's not ancient times. I ask you what to do then?"
Zhang Ruolin rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Am I just going to swallow this breath?"
Zhao Jianguo shook his head with a smile, "People are doing it, the sky is watching, why rush for a while? Just like Lao Jiang, you know how powerful the national army is, but in the end, it is not defeated by our liberation army." Because they are unpopular with the people, God will not allow them, a group of selfish and conscientious political parties, to rule our China. ”
"I really didn't see it, you talk a lot of nonsense. ”
Zhao Jianguo laughed twice, "You don't believe it, or we will make a bet, if you lose, you promise me a condition." ”
"Bet on what?"
"Just bet on God's retribution on Zhao Erzhu's head. ”
"When?"
"Within a year, do you dare to bet?"
"What if you lose?"
"If I lose, I will also promise you a condition, you can come to me at any time, as long as I am not clear of conscience, I will promise you. ”
Zhang Ruolin looked at Zhao Jianguo, "Then I want to see if this god can open his eyes." ”
"You mean to gamble?" Zhao Jianguo asked with a smile.
"Yes. ”
"Then let's gamble, and then you don't have to pay the bills. ”
"You're underestimating me, too. ”
Zhang Ruolin pulled the chicken feathers on the chicken head, and asked with a slight displeasure: "Do you eat the chicken head?" If you don't eat it, I'll throw it away." ”
"It's a pity to eat it, throw it away, and keep the chicken butt. ”
Zhang Ruolin glanced at him, and really wanted to say: Brother, you are too powerful, you can also eat chicken butt bones, and you are not afraid of finding your daughter-in-law in the future, and when you kiss your daughter-in-law, you will be smoked to death.
Scooping out the chicken feathers in the basin, Zhang Ruolin poured the water into the gutter, twisted the chicken and walked to the well, turned around and went to the kitchen, and took out a small pair of scissors.
"Have you made breakfast?"
"Isn't it in the pot?"
Zhao Jianguo let out an "oh", stood up, and walked into the kitchen with a cane.
"Above the stove is a bowl covered with pickles. ”
"Got it. ”
Zhang Ruolin picked up the bucket, threw it into the well, shook it twice, wrung up a bucket of water, and began to deal with the old hen.
Zhao Jianguo picked up a bowl, squatted on the ground, lifted the lid of the pot and picked up the spoon, filled a bowl of porridge, covered the pot, glanced out of the window, raised his eyebrows slightly, and didn't smell the smell of porridge in the morning, how could he make porridge?
Walking to the stove, opening the covered plate, looking at the oily shredded cabbage and pork, Zhao Jianguo frowned tightly again, as an excellent scout, Zhang Ruolin gave him the feeling that it was too weird, and he felt that she had a lot of secrets hidden in her.
After a moment or so, Zhao Jianguo picked up the chopsticks and put the shredded cabbage and meat with chopsticks in the bowl, and put some in his mouth by the way.
Zhao Jianguo looked at the bamboo basket on the ground at the kitchen door, there were a few pieces of ginger and a handful of green onions in it, it was obvious that this ginger and green onions were bought by her this morning, but there were green onions and ginger in this shredded cabbage meat, and there were also flavors of monosodium glutamate, sugar, and vinegar.
Glancing at the things on the windowsill, a bottle of oil and a small teacup with salt in it, walked to the kitchen door with a bowl, and glanced at Zhang Ruolin, who was squatting on the edge of the well to clean up the old hen, Zhao Jianguo's brows were tightly locked.
"Have you eaten it?"
"I didn't eat it, you don't have to care about me, I rarely eat breakfast, you have eaten so much porridge in the pot!"
"Breakfast is still eaten, and the most important thing for three meals a day is in the morning. ”
"Get used to it. ”
Zhao Jianguo looked at Zhang Ruolin, who came over with a chicken, and hurriedly gave in, "Eat a little bit for breakfast, don't starve your stomach." ”
"I know. Zhang Ruolin replied, when she got up, she went to the cafeteria for breakfast, and she still needs you.
Zhang Ruolin picked up the cutting board and kitchen knife and put them in the basin, walked out with the basin, put the basin on the ground, Zhang Ruolin reached out and took out the salt on the windowsill, squatted on the ground, poured some salt in his hand, scooped the chicken intestines into his hand, and kneaded them back and forth.
"Is anyone home?"
"Is anyone home?"
"I'm going to open the door. ”
"I'll go!" Zhang Ruolin washed her hands in the basin and stood up, "Who!"
"Deliver the table. ”
Seeing Zhang Ruolin turn her head to look at him in confusion, Zhao Jianguo explained lightly: "I asked at the grocery store at the door in the morning, and it happened that the boss had a friend who was in the furniture business, so I asked him to help send a table over." ”
Zhang Ruolin let out an "oh", "How much?" I'll give it to you." ”
"I don't have much money, if you really want to give it, I'll stay with you for a few days and make me more delicious food. ”
Zhang Ruolin nodded, opened the gate of the courtyard, looked at a brand-new wooden table painted with tung oil, a wooden chair, two small bamboo chairs and a large wooden basin at the door, and smiled at the two masters at the door: "Please help the two masters move in, and put the table in the kitchen." ”
After bringing the things in, Zhang Ruolin closed the door, walked to the well, washed the chicken intestines again, put them in front of his nose and smelled them, and nodded slightly.
Picking up the kitchen knife, Zhang Ruolin began to chop up the old hen and divided it into four, anyway, it was stewed, and there was no need to chop it into a small piece.
"Cook now?"
Zhang Ruolin raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Jianguo, who came over with a bowl, "Stew, just put your bowl on the table, I'll wash it later." ”
"Washing the dishes is not a big deal, how much does an old hen cost now?"
"Three pieces a piece, five cents more expensive than the countryside, after the New Year, a little sister-in-law in the village sold five old hens, two pieces of five each. ”
"The prices in the county town must be higher, and those vendors go to the village to collect chickens and sell them in the county, and they have to make more or less money. ”
