Chapter 15 There are too many relatives but not relatives
When Shen Hui just graduated from junior high school, he worked as a small worker in the slaughterhouse in the county for a period of time, and later worked as a slaughterer.
"Change your father's clothes. ”
Zhang Jinhua hurriedly shouted, afraid that Shen Hui would stain his clothes.
When Shen Liguo heard this, he hurriedly took off his coat and gave it to Shen Hui, he was already prepared, he knew that he was going to work, and he had already changed the clothes he wore for work, otherwise how to say that the older he is, the more experienced he is, and he is thoughtful.
Shen Hui changed into his father's cotton jacket, tried the knife, and didn't want anyone to help, walked to a sheep, grabbed the head and cut off three tubes with a knife, and then took the basin next to him to catch the sheep's blood, and when the blood was released, he tied the esophagus and began to blow the skin.
Shen Tao, Shen Chao, and Shen Qian hid far away, not daring to see this bloody scene.
Shen Limin saw it on the side and criticized: "The three foodies don't dare to go in front of them." ”
Lao Tzu shook his head helplessly, thinking about the hardships and tiredness he suffered back then, and then looking at the performance of his sons, there is really a feeling that one generation is not as good as the next, if it is put in the sixties and seventies, except for Shen Hui, everyone will starve to death.
When they saw Shen Yuan's third brother, the elders couldn't help but laugh out loud.
If you have eaten mutton, you may not be able to kill a sheep, and if you have seen someone kill yourself, you may not be able to kill yourself.
The so-called easy to know is difficult to do, this is the principle.
Shen Yuan thought that it was very simple to kill a sheep, but as a result, the neck of the sheep was wiped off with a knife, but his subordinates did not press it tightly, Shen Feng and Shen Yue were also a little careless, and the sheep struggled violently and broke free directly. Although his legs were tied, the struggle before death was so fierce, and after a few flicks on the spot, Shen Yuan's third brother was splashed all over his face by the blood of the sheep that shot out, and the embarrassed look was gone.
Shen Tao, Shen Chao, and Shen Qian didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and the corners of their mouths twitched when they all smiled.
Shen Liren hurriedly ran over to take over the follow-up work and asked Shen Yuan to wash his face.
At this time, Shen Hui had already begun to peel the skin, let Shen Tao grab the two leg of mutton on one side and pull it tightly, step on the two leg of mutton on the other side with his foot, pull the belly open, the knife swung fast, and a large piece was peeled in a while.
After the sheepskin is peeled, it is finally disemboweled, and the internal organs are removed.
After stripping the internal organs, placing the sheep with the sacrifice, Shen Hui wrapped the internal organs in the sheepskin, asked Shen Chao to throw them away, and began to kill the third sheep, while the women had already shaken off the burning paper and piled up a lot of them in the open space.
The second sheep was slaughtered, and Shen Liren also disposed of the other sheep.
The three sheep were placed in the offerings, and the crowd knelt in a large circle around the pile of burning paper, ready to burn the paper.
Shen Hui took some paper and said, "I'll go burn some for my sister." ”
Shen Tao and Shen Lu were also busy: "I'll go too." ”
Zhang Jinhua's face was a little not good, and she nodded reluctantly.
Shen Hui asked Shen Qian for the key to the pickup truck, and ran two kilometers with Shen Tao and Shen Lu to a ravine. A lonely grave sits alone in the middle of the grass, covered in snow that looks like a large snowdrift.
He took an iron broom from the pickup and swept the snow off the grave, sweeping out a small clearing.
Shen Tao and Shen Lu pressed some paper on the grave and placed a few sacrifices.
Shen Hui shook off the burning paper, piled up a small pile, and lit it.
Shen Lu's eyes were already red, and tears poured out.
Shen Hui also has a sister above him, two years older than him, but unfortunately he got leukemia at the age of twelve, and there was no place for a foreign marrying girl in the grave of the Shen family, and she was finally buried in this small ravine.
When the eldest sister was gone, Shen Lu was also seven years old, and she remembered a lot of things.
Ordinary families, whether the eldest is male or female, are the most bitter ones.
I still remember when I was young, there was no firewood on the kang at home, and the eldest sister led my younger brothers and sisters to pick cow dung everywhere, as if it was right in front of me, now life is getting better and better, but the eldest sister is gone, Shen Hui and Shen Tao are also uncomfortable.
"Why is the eldest sister's life so bitter, woo!"
When the flames burst out, Shen Lu finally couldn't help crying.
Shen Tao was emotional, and when he cried to Shen Lu, his eyes were also red.
When the paper was burned and he got up to get into the car, Shen Hui wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
When I returned to the new grave, I found that my mother was also red-eyed, and the second and third aunts were still beside me to persuade her.
After burning the paper and kowtowing, everyone got on the car and returned.
did not go back to the county seat directly, more than 20 people went to Shenjiagou and went to Shen Gang's house to eat mutton.
Shen Gang's daughter-in-law Du Ping's stewed mutton is famous in Shenjiagou, Shen Limin has to eat some mutton every time he comes up, this time is no exception, the mutton is not good, there are too many people in the house, Shen Hui went outside to smoke.
lit a cigarette, Shen Chao said: "It's too stressful to do anything serious, do you have any good projects, brother?"
"I don't have anything to do, what a good project can I have. ”
Shen Hui asked, "Aren't you working with your second uncle?"
Shen Chao smiled bitterly: "The project is so easy to do, I will run errands, buy a material, I can't do it without my father, and the current project is getting more and more difficult to do, I haven't worked at home for a year this year, and I will be useless if I don't do anything." ”
Shen Hui flicked off the cigarette ash and said, "It's here, what are you going to do?"
Shen Chao said: "There is a hot pot restaurant in the provincial capital that is very popular, and the taste is okay, I haven't seen it on this side of Qinghe, and I want to find a few people to do it together, if it is well run, it will be able to recover the cost in half a year, and do it together!"
Shen Hui asked, "How much do you invest?"
Shen Chao said: "A total of 600,000 yuan, I also found a partner, 200,000 yuan for each person if there are three people." ”
Shen Hui said: "It's only 300,000 yuan for two people to do one person, and you don't lack this money, so I won't join in the fun." ”
Shen Chao smiled and said, "I can't look down on this little money!"
Shen Hui smiled, stopped talking about this, and asked, "Shen Bing has a partner, when will you get married?"
Shen Chao said: "The New Year is over, the date has not yet been decided, and it is estimated that the first month will end." ”
Shen Hui smiled: "Okay, bring my brother and daughter-in-law to me another day." ”
Shen Chao smiled and said Okay, although my father's generation is the best for the second uncle Shen Limin, but Shen Chao is quite good at being a man, those who should be called brother are called brothers, and those who should be called sisters are called sisters.
I thought it was just a joke, but I didn't want Shen Chao to really bring his daughter-in-law the next day.
Zhang Jinhua was surprised and asked, "Shen Chao, why are you here?"
Shen Chao smiled: "Brother hasn't seen Zhang Yu yet, I'll bring it to my brother to see." ”
"Ouch, look at what that's said. ”
Zhang Huajin gave up his seat and said, "Shen Hui is a month older than you, and he is not an elder, let him see something." ”
Zhang Yu is also quite good at talking, and said generously: "It's okay, aunt, I also want to meet my eldest brother, but I haven't seen it yet!"
Zhang Jinhuaxin said that this family is fine, and marrying a daughter-in-law is also a human spirit, listen to how good this is, although he has opinions on the second family, but it has nothing to do with the juniors, he is still very happy in his heart, and enthusiastically gave Shen Chao and Zhang Yupao tea.
Shen Hui was a little awkward, a joke, as if he was an elder, looked at Zhang Yu a few times, and asked a few words about who Zhang Yu's family was, what did Zhang Yu say, and chatted with Shen Hui for a while.
At noon, Shen Tao and Shen Lu came back from work and were quite surprised to see Shen Chao and Zhang Yu.
After Shen Chao and Zhang Yu left after lunch, Shen Lu asked her mother, "Mom, what are Shen Chao and Zhang Yu doing?"
Zhang Jinhua said: "Who knows, it is said that your brother has never seen Zhang Yu, bring it to your brother to see." ”
Shen Lu said funny: "Shen Chao is really good at coming to things, my brother is not the second uncle, what is the use of his daughter-in-law showing my brother, whether to marry my brother or not can not be his master, I think I saw that my brother's thighs were thick, so I hurriedly came to hug him." ”
Zhang Jinhua glared and scolded: "Why are you talking, it's so ugly." ”
Shen Lu said a few times and stopped talking.
Shen Hui said: "You also hurry up to learn a driver's license, and I'll buy you a trolley when you go back." ”
Shen Lu was not very interested in the car, and said, "I don't want the car." ”
Zhang Jinhua was also busy saying: "What does she want a car for a girl, what are you doing with two cars." ”
Shen Hui said: "It is convenient to have a car to go out, now there are a lot of women who drive, which married woman does not drive, sooner or later she will have to learn, and when Xiaolu gets her driver's license, I will buy you a smaller lady's car." ”
Shen Lu nodded dispensably: "Okay!"
Shen Hui remembered something and asked, "Shen Bing's object is working in the Public Security Bureau, right?"
Shen Lu nodded: "What about the Economic Investigation Brigade!"
Shen Hui took his mobile phone and said while dialing: "I just forgot to tell Shen Chao, let him get me a passport." ”
Shen Lu hurriedly said: "Brother, don't say it, Shen Bing's object is too snobbish and doesn't do anything for people at all, last time my father asked him to ask about the division of household registration at the police station, but he didn't ask, it's not difficult to get a passport, so don't look for him." ”
When Shen Hui heard this, he put down his phone and said, "Then I'll ask tomorrow." ”
Shen Tao said: "You can go directly to the Exit and Entry Administration Department of the Public Security Bureau." ”
Shen Hui snorted, and said in his heart that this is not yet two generations, that's it, when it comes to the next generation, who still knows whom, and when the generation of my father and mother enters the earth, I am a person who is in different places, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to see each other in the future.
On weekends, Shen Lu dragged her parents and brother to the street to consume.
I finally waited until the salary was paid, but I had to do my best.
After working for more than two months, he has never been paid, and this next time he has been paid two months' salary, Shen Lu wants to buy clothes for his parents and two brothers, even if he can't afford to buy expensive ones, but at least he has a little heart.
Mom and Dad couldn't resist their daughter, so they followed them to the street.
After shopping for a long time, my father and mother bought a pair of pants, Shen Hui and Shen Tao wore a pair of shoes, and spent more than 2,000, which is not cheap in a small county like Qinghe, and Shen Lu is not satisfied with this, so he has to buy it again.
The next day, Shen Hui went to another class reunion.
The junior high school years are an unforgettable time, there are many unforgettable stories in those ignorant years, and the university is different, junior high school classmates are from a township, and even some are related to the past, and then get together after ten years in the society, no matter whether it is good or not, everyone will feel very cordial, drink a drink, encourage each other a few words, and run back to the future.
As for the bloody scenes such as the car key on the wine table, there is no such thing.
