Chapter 53: Abominable
The hard work paid off, I ate it for lunch, and I was busy all afternoon, Xin Andong and others finally poured all the seven hundred catties of sausages and hung them, the bamboo curtains were lined up, and the long benches were not let go, the long strip-shaped cylindrical sausages were red and white with oily shiny, and the meat of the Xin family was full of meat, and people couldn't help drooling when they took a sip.
The sky gradually darkened, looking at the fruits of labor in front of him, Xin Andong crooked his stiff neck, he seemed to hear a creaking sound, bared his teeth He raised his head, just saw that the elderly grandparents were also hunched over and beating their backs, he suddenly tightened his throat, and hurriedly ran over to support the old man, let them sit on a high stool, he had been bending over with his head down, the old man must have been uncomfortable with his cervical spine, he rubbed his hands, first helped his grandmother massage for a while, and then massaged his grandfather for a while.
Grandma, who originally thought that her grandson was fooling around, was surprised, "When will Dongzi still massage, don't say, the little hands are quite strong, and it is really comfortable to press grandma, and the sore shoulders are much better." ”
Xin Andong pressed his grandfather's shoulder, and thought proudly, that is, he has studied with his grandfather of the old Chinese medicine doctor for more than a year, and he pressed it for his grandfather as soon as he came home in his previous life.
"Grandpa, I'm comfortable, right?" Xin Andong asked his grandfather with a smile who had been silent.
Old man Xin, who was squinting and enjoying himself, heard his grandson's words, and patted the back of his grandson's hand with relief, "Comfortable, just like your grandmother said, the stiff shoulders seem to be a lot more comfortable." ”
Old, I can't disobey the old, I used to work in the field for more than ten hours, and I never got up to cut wheat when I went home to sleep for two or three hours, but now I just chopped the meat for an afternoon but I felt that the whole arm couldn't be lifted, but fortunately, I had a grandson massage, and I was almost slow down just now.
"Grandpa and grandma like it, then I will often press you in the future, I will also have a lot of acupressure massage, although the rheumatism on the grandfather's leg can not be completely cured, but if you press according to a special massage technique for a long time, the chance of onset on rainy days in the future will be much less. Xin Andong's eyes suddenly lit up and said.
It was only then that he thought that it was cold now, and yesterday he saw his grandfather holding his knees so painful that his face turned pale to know that the old man had rheumatism on his legs, and he looked uncomfortable but helpless before, and when he gave his grandmother a loose body today, he remembered that he had learned from his grandfather how to massage rheumatism patients before.
"How can this be, you still have to go to school, I'm old and used to it. The grandson's words really made the old man feel like he had eaten a mouthful of hot tofu, all the way to the heart, this grandson thought about them, whitening hurt, it is filial piety!
However, as long as the child has this intention, it can't delay the child's affairs, Old Man Xin rubbed his much more comfortable shoulders and stood up, and said to his grandson with a smile, "Okay, okay, don't press it, Dahe has helped us all afternoon, and we will eat at home today, but we can't slip away like last time! ”
Jiang Dahe didn't look at it as a half-sized child, his strength was not small, and he helped a lot, he was indeed so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and his eyes immediately lit up amazingly, and he responded loudly, "Grandpa Xin, don't worry, I'm hungry this time, I definitely won't slip, even if you give me a cow, I can swallow it in one bite!"
Everyone has been busy for a day, so naturally they can't do it casually, Xin Andong stopped the grandmother who was going to cook, and took the initiative to ask, "Milk, you rest, I'll cook, I stewed soybean pig's feet soup at noon, this should have been simmered," said, and asked Jiang Dahe, "Dahe, do you eat pig blood?"
The small bucket of pig blood that I brought back yesterday is a good thing, and his grandfather loved to eat pig blood tofu in his last life.
As long as he can eat, he eats everything, Jiang Dahe didn't understand what there was to ask, swallowed saliva and nodded, "Eat, I'll eat whatever you burn!" As long as it is served as soon as possible, Dongzi's craftsmanship has been eaten many times, but it is much more delicious than Grandma Xin's cooking, Jiang Dahe is already a little impatient.
Since there is no problem, then he will arrange what to eat tonight.
"I'm going to make pig blood tofu, and then I have a green pepper fried tomato shreds to eat, by the way, there are fans at home, it's good to be an ant on the tree, well, four dishes should be enough for four people." Xin Andong said, and then unceremoniously called Jiang Dahe, "Dahe, help me light the fire." ”
"Okay. Jiang Dahe rolled up his sleeves very happily and entered the hut where he was cooking, as long as he could eat quickly, it was nothing to make a fire.
Old man Xin, who came in with a pair of firewood, saw it, shook his head and smiled at his grandson, "You kid, Dahe has been busy with us for a day, how can there be such a direct guest, grandpa will light a fire for you." After speaking, Old Man Xin was going to come to replace Jiang Dahe.
How could Jiang Dahe let his job be robbed, he hurriedly stopped the old man, and said unhappily, "Grandpa Xin, why are you outside, I'm not a guest, I'm Dongzi's good brother, I volunteered to help him." ”
He was like that, as if Old Man Xin didn't let him burn the fire because he didn't treat him as a good brother of his grandson, Old Man Xin had no choice but to back down, "Okay, okay, you are brothers, you and my Dongzi are good children, grandpa went to the village store to have a look and buy some snacks for the two of you to eat." ”
The children have been helping in their own house for so long, they can't not give a piece of candy without eating, and he still likes the Jiang family's kid, Grandpa Xin looked at the grandson who was washing rice again, thinking that the grandson hadn't eaten snacks from the commissary for a long time, the children were so well-behaved today, he went to buy something to reward them.
"Thank you Grandpa Xin, I want to eat Tang monk meat, sour plum powder" Hearing that there were snacks to eat, Jiang Dahe was very happy, and did not forget to ask Xin Andong, "Dongzi, what do you want to eat?"
Xin Andong didn't have anything to eat about the snacks in the commissary, but when he turned his head to meet his grandfather's expectant eyes, he had to say, "Well, grandpa buy me a piece of bubble gum." "Anyway, a piece of bubble gum doesn't cost a few cents, so just chew it.
"Dongzi, grandpa has money, tell grandpa what you want to eat. Grandpa Xin sighed in his heart when he saw that his grandson only needed bubble gum, how well-behaved his grandson was, the child was reluctant to let him spend money, but in this way, he wanted to buy it for his grandson.
Xin Andong smiled, "I don't have anything to eat, grandpa, just bring me a few pieces of bubble gum." ”
Okay, since his grandson said so, Old Man Xin had no choice but to go out in a military coat, thinking that he would give his grandson the same snack that the big river boy wanted.
After Old Man Xin left, Jiang Dahe, who was burning the fire, reacted at this time, blushed, and asked, "Dongzi, shouldn't I have asked your grandfather what he wanted to eat just now?"
If he let his grandmother know that he was going to eat and drink at the Xin family, his grandmother would have to break his leg with a firewood stick, he frowned, now he regrets it very much, he already knew that he didn't want Grandpa Xin's Tangsen meat, he has his own money, the twenty yuan and more than seventeen yuan that Dongzi gave him last time can sell a lot of Tangsen meat, he really shouldn't ask Grandpa Xin for it.
"It's okay, you helped me, grandpa rewarded you. Xin Andong didn't understand his entanglement, and said casually.
"That's fine. Jiang Dahe breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth grinned again, he should accept the reward.
Xin'an Dong cooks vegetables quickly, soybean and pig's feet soup has been simmered a long time ago, and the other three are relatively fast dishes, only the pig's blood tofu needs to be put in the pot a little bit.
Jiang Dahe had never eaten ants on the tree, and when he heard the name, he thought it was related to ants, and his face changed in fright, and when Xin Andong was ready to put it on the plate, he knew that it was fried vermicelli with minced meat, he had never eaten this dish, and it was quite strange to look at, and he kept staring at it before the dish was served.
When Old Man Xin returned, the Townsend meat, plum powder, and bubble gum in his pocket were all unattractive, and Grandma lit the kerosene lamp, and the four of them gathered around the small table for dinner.
The four dishes are all burned in Xin'an winter, the taste is not to say, the soybean pig's feet soup simmered for more than three hours, the taste is not to say, the four people each drank a big bowl of milk-white pig's feet soup, as well as the pig's feet, because the stew is very bad, the meat basically has to be dissolved, so even the grandparents who are not very good have eaten a lot of meat, in this cold winter, Meimei drank a big bowl of pig's feet soup, not only the hands and feet are not cold, but also the heart is warm.
Pig blood Grandma Xin was originally afraid that her grandson would have a fishy smell when she made it, but after tasting it, she knew that she had underestimated him, Xin Andong added a lot of chili peppers, and the spicy taste was very fragrant, and Jiang Dahe inhaled while eating pig blood. Not to mention the ants on the tree, the other three saw this dish for the first time It was very strange, and they found it delicious when they ate it in their mouths, but Xin Andong didn't expect that it was grandma who liked it the most, and grandpa and Jiang Dahe were more keen on the spicy dish of pig blood tofu.
Although the lights were dim, everyone was eating and laughing happily, and at this moment, suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard door.
"Who else is coming to the door at this time?"
Grandma Xin put down the dishes and chopsticks and was about to open the door, but Xin Andong, who was blind in the dark light, naturally couldn't let Grandma go, so she hurriedly stopped, "Grandma, you continue to eat, I'll open the door." He put down his chopsticks and went to open the door.
"Dad, Mom, come in!" Xin Andong opened the door but didn't expect it to be Xin Wenfang and Xin Dazhuang, he was suddenly surprised, and hurriedly let them in, "You came at the right time, I am eating with my grandmother, you sit down, Mom and Dad, I'll serve you dinner." ”
Xin Wenfang and Xin Dazhuang entered the hall, only to find that their son and parents were having dinner, as well as the second son of the Jiang family, to be honest, the two of them were busy until this meeting, and hurried back to the village in a hurry, naturally they didn't eat dinner, but the matter was urgent, and they didn't have the heart to eat.
"We're not hungry, don't be busy yet. ”
Xin Andong was just about to lift his feet to go to the kitchen, but was stopped by Xin Wenfang, he turned around, only to find that his mother's face was wrong, and he sighed in his heart, met his mother's anxious eyes, and immediately asked, "What happened?"
Grandparents also noticed that something was wrong, the girl couldn't come back at this time, the business of the lobster restaurant must be taken care of, at this time should not be able to leave, how could she go home now, Grandma Xin intuitively felt that something was wrong, and suddenly panicked, staring at Xin Wenfang with good eyes, "What's the matter, Wenfang, why did you and Da Zhuang come back at this time, something happened in the store?"
"No, the business in the store is normal," Xin Wenfang finished answering her mother and looked at her youngest son, she was in a hurry, and she was panting when she spoke, and the hair on her forehead was also sweaty and condensed, she wiped off the sweat indifferently and said, " Dongzi, your dad and I went back to the village mainly for tomorrow's lobster, and I don't know if something happened to your Uncle Wang's house, this kung fu lobster has not been delivered to the store, and the lobster I will use when I open the store tomorrow, and the little stored at home is only enough for tonight, not to mention, your dad and I will go to his house to see what the situation is. ”
Roughly speaking, Xin Wenfang was in a hurry to leave.
The next moment, Xin Andong frowned and grabbed her, and said coldly, "Mom, don't go." ”
His face was pale, and he held his mother's hand a little harder, and disgust flashed in his eyes when he thought of Wang Qijun.
"What's wrong?" Xin Wenfang knew more about his youngest son, and he could see the fame from his expression, and his face changed in an instant, and asked, "Are you hiding something from your mother?" Why didn't Wang Qijun send lobsters to the store today, did the younger son know?
Facing his anxious mother, Xin Andong had no choice but to say, "Mom, I originally wanted to go back to the county tomorrow to tell you, since you are here, then I simply said it now, I went to Uncle Wang's house yesterday, and I originally wanted to ask him to help buy two pigs like last time, but I didn't expect him to ask me about the sausage recipe, which means that I will teach them Fang Zibai, and I have a great kindness to my Xin family in and out of the words, if I don't give the formula, I don't know how to repay it." ”
Before Xin Andong finished speaking, Xin Wenfang blew up first, "Fart! Wang Qijun wants to be beautiful, when I Xin Wenfang is dead, dare to play with my son with empty gloves and white wolf, he must see that you are young and easy to bully, it's really not a thing!"
"He has a fart grace to my family, we have a kindness to him, if it weren't for my Xin family, he wouldn't know where to ask for food now, I'm embarrassed to ask for this and that, I'll go to his house now and ask clearly, how to write the three words white-eyed wolf?!" She was also angry, she didn't expect that in the place where she didn't pay attention, Wang Qijun fooled her son like this, if it weren't for Dongzi's cleverness, a stupid child would not have been coaxed by him to coax the sausage recipe?
This Wang family couple is really dirty enough, and they dare to pinch her son, and if they don't have a good fight with him, they don't know how powerful she is Xin Wenfang!
Mother has always been towards herself, Xin Andong was moved, but she still couldn't let her mother be arrogant, and persuaded, "Mom, calm down, now is not the time to go to the Wang family to ask for an explanation, we have all signed a contract, and I will naturally not let them go if the Wang family breaches the contract, but the most important thing now is tomorrow's lobster." ”
Hearing her son say this, Xin Wenfang calmed down, too, it's not in a hurry to find the Wang family's theory, the most important thing is what to do with tomorrow's lobster, at this time, even if she comes to the Wang family, she will definitely not be able to get the lobster, with the urine of the Wang family, she can see through it, maybe she will be shameless to sit on the ground and start the price!
"Why is the Wang family kid such a person, wolf-hearted and dog-hearted," the grandmother covered her chest and looked at her eldest grandson with worry in her eyes, "What can I do now, he picks his son and doesn't send us lobsters, how can he open a store tomorrow?!"
