When the group arrived at the courtyard, the uncle immediately covered his nose with his hand and frowned: "Qingshan, what kind of smell do you have? Why do you smell so stinky? So young, so unhygienic, no wonder I can't find a girlfriend." ”

As soon as the uncle said this, several cousins laughed.

Liu Qingshan's face darkened, but he planned to give his uncle another chance.

After all, he had been busy all morning, and his body did stink. Moreover, today's holiday at home, the visitor is the guest, and the guest can't just say two big truths, and you just turn the other cheek with the guest.

Liu Qingshan grinned and didn't speak.

Seeing that Liu Qingshan didn't talk, the uncle immediately straightened his waist, feeling that he was in control of today's victory, and he would definitely be able to get back the 'humiliation' he received last time.

"Mom, my uncle and they're here. Liu Qingshan walked in front and shouted as soon as he entered the door.

Wu Cuimei had already seen her eldest brother and the others from the window facing southeast, so she had already walked to the edge of the stove to sort out the bacon hanging on the high place.

Actually, there's nothing to sort out.

The reason why she did this was nothing more than to let the eldest brother and others see her bacon as soon as they entered the house.

That's more bacon than ever before!

I have been married to Liu Yuanhe for decades, and my family has never cured so much bacon, this is the first time.

In the past, the eldest brother and others looked at her poor family's scattered bacon, and were very disdainful, but this time, when the price of pork is so expensive, the family can still bacon so much, then they should stare at it.

As Wu Cuimei expected, after her eldest brother and second brother stepped into the gate, they looked towards the kitchen, and sure enough, at first glance, they saw her fiddling with bacon and a large row of bacon, and the eyes of several people were round, as if two huge walnuts were hanging on their faces.

"Third sister, are all your pork from the government?" the second brother looked at the long line of bacon on the stove in disbelief, and said in surprise, "Why is there so much bacon? This year's pork is not cheap." ”

The second uncle is slightly better than the eldest uncle, although he usually looks down on people, but he is not as good as the uncle, and he is not as good as the uncle.

As the leader of the village's self-organized construction team, although the second uncle's annual income is not as high as that of white-collar workers in the city, it is better than most young people who go out to work.

He used to look down on his sister's family, not from the perspective of being richer than his sister, but because he felt that his brother-in-law, as a big man, had hands and feet, but he lived such a messy life, so he looked down on his sister's family's attitude towards life, not that they had no money.

The uncle is different, he looks down on people completely because the other party is poor.

But if one day the poor man he looked down on suddenly won the lottery of five million, then he would definitely be able to immediately reverse his attitude and greet this poor man with a smile.

But if this poor man still lives a very embarrassing life after he has money, then the second uncle will still look down on him.

The two seem to have the same attitude towards the poor, but they are fundamentally different.

Wu Cuimei saw the eldest brother and the second brother and others walking in from the door, so she hurriedly turned around to greet her: "Big brother, second brother, you guys are really early, and I was planning to take out these bacon to dry." ”

The uncle looked at the many bacon on the stove, and muttered a little in his heart: How can this poor ghost have so much bacon?

It looks like there must be thirty or forty pounds of pork, that's a thousand dollars.

How is this possible? How could this poor family spend so much money on pork?

"Third sister, you haven't said how you got these porks of yours. The second uncle looked at the bacon and asked puzzled.

"Oh, these pork. Wu Cuimei glanced back at her bacon proudly, and said happily, "Of course I bought it, why did the government send us pork if it had nothing to do?"

"Aren't you low-income households? During the Chinese New Year, won't the government send two catties of pork to every low-income household?" the second uncle asked the doubts in his heart.

"How can we be low-income households?" Wu Cuimei laughed twice and said, "Both men in our family can work, although the living environment is not very good, but the usual life is still good, no matter how we arrange it, we can't be a low-income household." ”

At this moment, Wu Cuimei's waist was finally straight.

In the past, when life was difficult, she always wondered when it would be their family's turn to enjoy the country's policies.

Although the money from those subsidies can't make a fortune, it can subsidize the family, so that the pressure on the son is not so great.

Now, she doesn't think so.

Perhaps, only people who don't have the ability will need those subsidies, and her son is definitely a capable person.

Hearing the words of the third sister, the eldest uncle scoffed, and the second uncle was quite surprised.

"Don't stand and talk, sit down first. Wu Cuimei instructed her son to fetch a few small benches, and said, "I made potbelly rice cakes yesterday and sticky rice cakes this morning, let's drink oil tea first, and then make lunch." ”

Oil tea is a necessity before meals.

Especially in this kind of New Year's festival days, camellia and glutinous rice are an indispensable procedure.

Whether the visitor is a person or a group of people, this pot of oil tea is indispensable.

Visitors must also be sensible, the host makes tea to entertain, and must drink more than two bowls, otherwise it is disrespectful to the host's family.

The host's kindness and kindness have been busy for many hours, making many delicious pastries, and spending energy to make oil tea, if you only drink one bowl, it is not a waste of the host's mind.

Of course, if you are a foreigner and are not used to drinking this kind of food with ethnic minority characteristics, then after tasting a little, you really find it difficult to swallow, and you want to pour out the oil tea, and the host will not be surprised at all.

However, if a local, on the premise of knowing the taste of oil tea, still makes all kinds of demons, feels greasy for a while, and feels bitter for a while, then people don't like it very much.

The people in the mountains are all suffering, and they have special feelings for food, and the behavior of wasting food is very glaring in their eyes.

Even if life is better now, the people in the mountains still retain this beautiful quality, whether it is leftovers or leftovers, they will not be poured into the garbage can, but sometimes, it is really inedible, so every household has chickens and ducks to digest these inedible grains.

Like Liu Qingshan's house, the leftovers are fed to the chickens and ducks, and the leftover meat and bones have to be put in a worn-out plastic basin and placed in the yard, so that the 'thieves' who come to steal food at night will not return in vain.
