Chapter 229: Long Insight and New Year
A thousand bucks to bring back a message?
Jiang Momo was dumbfounded, Qin Tian glanced at his daughter-in-law, and said indifferently: "The people who came back with the news were all traffickers who specialized in smuggling people, and after they came back, they found someone to send the news back, and the cost risk during the period was not small." ”
Jiang Momo nodded, it is so far away, it is still a manual message, and it does require a lot of expenses.
The two cats slept on the bed, and heard the children talking outside, so they got up, and when they saw that it was dark, Jiang Momo got up and looked at it, and saw a few small children playing in the yard, and the yard received a lamp, and the light illuminated the small courtyard, and several children were playing in thick cotton jackets under the light.
Jiang Momo glanced at her watch, it was seven o'clock, Qin Tian also got up, got dressed and went out to chop firewood, and refilled the kang in the other three rooms with firewood.
Jiang Momo got dressed and went to the stove room, and saw Shen Lan and Yao Huazhi stir-frying vegetables and burning a fire.
Jiang Momo sobbed, the old lady rolled out the noodles and made two spicy noodles, a cabbage and meat slices, a radish shredded meat, the soup was very sufficient, and when the noodles were ready, scoop two spoonfuls and hand them over, stir two chopsticks, and then a few cloves of garlic, the taste is no one.
Roll out the water in two rooms, take out the pot and make a hot water, and then put it into the big bowl, pour it on the noodles, and then serve it out, the dishes are not on the table, there are men sitting on the table, and the snoring is in the noodles, and the sound is particularly fragrant.
Although a few children are small bowls, the amount is not small, each person eats three times, and one person eats half a catty of noodles.
Even Jiang Momo snorted and ate two big bowls, ate at noon, and fell asleep, and I didn't feel hungry when I woke up.
Meimei ate two bowls of noodles, Jiang Momo smiled and said: "The dry noodles made by A-Niang are fragrant!"
There were a lot of people, Yao Huazhi was embarrassed, and only smiled implicitly, and Qin Tian also nodded: "It's really fragrant!"
When Yao Huazhi heard that her son-in-law praised herself, her eyes narrowed together with joy.
As soon as Yao Huazhi and his wife came, the west courtyard that they could live in was a little small, and the east courtyard could not be built for the time being, so Qin Tian simply cleaned up a house with kang in the east, and let Qin Xiangming and Lao Hu take Jiang Yaozu to live there.
But when Yao Huazhi was washing dishes at night, she bit her ear with her daughter: "Girl, isn't this okay?"
Jiang Momo said with a smile: "A-Niang, don't think about it, this is all in the same courtyard, do you let people go out to live, and when the east courtyard is repaired, we can all live in it." ”
Yao Huazhi said with some worry: "I thought that you and Qin Tian bought a small yard, you also said that it was a small yard, who would have thought, such a big yard, and so many houses, more than the previous landlord's house, girl, don't be careless, although it is not like it was before, but the world says that it will change, you can pay attention to me." ”
Jiang Momo nodded: "Auntie, it's okay, haven't you noticed that the situation is much better?"
Yao Huazhi nodded: "It's really a lot better, it looks like there is no change, in fact, there are quite a lot of changes, let's just say that the agricultural technicians in our township, they used to eat and drink, from the middle of the year, I don't know how to worry about the harvest all of a sudden, just say the tractor, how difficult it was to buy before, but in September, your father found a relationship, directly bought two cars for the village, the money was not enough at that time, your father just said can you owe it first, guess what, people immediately agreed, and they didn't even stumble." ”
Then Yao Huazhi successively talked about a lot of changes in the countryside, what children go to school, suddenly recruited a lot of teachers, let the educated youth learn well to become teachers, even have art classes, so strange and so on.
Jiang Momo smiled, the country is slowly moving forward.
Early the next morning, Jiang Yaozu looked at a few small ones at home, and all the other adults dressed up, first made a bus and sat from the east to the westernmost side, and after getting off the bus, he continued to walk, walking for about three miles, and finally arrived at the bottom of a big slope, and there were a few tricycles parked scattered under the big slope.
When a few people saw Qin Tian and his party, they hurriedly rode forward a few steps, but these people were very disciplined, and when they saw seven people coming, two tricycles came over, and the other cars stopped in place.
Qin Tian handed over a sign, and the other party returned it when he saw it, and the other three-wheeled lane behind: "Let's go!"
A few people got on the tricycle, Yao Huazhi didn't know why, didn't the daughter and son-in-law say that they were going to buy something, didn't they have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative, and the better thing was the friendship store, how did they come to such a corner place.
The sign that the son-in-law just handed over looked like something similar to the code, and for a while Yao Huazhi was nervous and wanted to jump out of the car.
Seeing this, Jiang Momo hurriedly took the old lady's hand and whispered, "A-Niang, don't be nervous, it's okay." ”
The tricycle went around in a big circle, went up a small road behind the big slope, and then went around to the back of the factory, and there were people guarding in front of the yard.
After the tricycle entered, Qin Tian paid a dollar for each car, and then explained: "Wait, we will use the car later." ”
The young man who took the lead sighed, and quickly stopped his bike in an empty spot.
Except for Qin Tian and Jiang Momo, the remaining five people were all coming for the first time, and they didn't know where they were from, but there were a lot of people, and they didn't dare to ask more, so they saw that they had just come in, and three cars of people came in behind them.
Entering the factory area that looks tattered outside, it suddenly opens up, in broad daylight, hundreds of lights are hanging, and the factory area of 3,000 meters is illuminated, and you can see that end from this end at a glance.
As soon as I entered, I heard the sound of talking, and when I looked at the rows of stalls, all of them were selling things.
Several people stood at the door with wide eyes, looking incredulous, Rao is Lao Hu and Qin Xiangming, people who have seen the world are also startled, what a big deal this must be, it has to be such a big field to sell things.
Qin Tian saw that someone came in from behind, and hurriedly asked a few people to stand to the side, while Jiang Momo whispered: "This place is called a dungeon, and it is a black market. Seeing a few people showing surprised eyes, he hurriedly said: "It's all opened by the children of the big leaders, and the number of people involved is very large, so it's very safe." ”
It's all grasshoppers on a rope, and if something happens to one, everyone has to die, so they have to die safely.
I haven't eaten pork and never seen a pig run, they are all adults, and after a while, they all eased up, so they started shopping for things.
Jiang Momo plans to buy some New Year's goods here, dried fungus, daylily, white fungus, and red dates, all of which have to be bought by themselves, but the supply and marketing cooperatives are not always available, and money can't buy them.
There are also children's autumn clothes, socks, and sneakers, which may not be available if they have tickets, and they are often out of stock.
Jiang Momo doesn't have much else, just a lot of money, thinking that on the one hand, he will buy New Year's goods, and on the other hand, let a few old people in the family see the world, discuss with Qin Tianyi, don't queue up to buy it, and don't go to a few black market spots in the province to buy it.
So I took a few people to the dungeon to buy things.
Yao Huazhi went to the woolen material stall and whispered to Jiang Momo to bite her ear: "All the woolen materials you bought back before were bought here?"
Jiang Momo replied: "The first time I bought it here, the piece that my sister got married was given by Qin Tian's eldest brother's lover, and then I bought it here a few times, and some bought it in the sea market." ”
Yao Huazhi felt that her eyes were not enough, and then she watched her daughter buy a bicycle, which was still a 26-year-old bicycle, saying that it was for four children, it was too big for them to hold.
I also bought a sewing machine, saying that it was for the children to mend clothes and pants, and asked Yao Huazhi if she wanted it, Yao Huazhi's head shook like a rattle, she wouldn't use this thing, and then this thing is not cabbage, it's not enough to buy one, buy another one? I feel like my heart can't stand it when I think about it.
Qin Xiangming and Lao Hu also bought some things, some food, canned biscuits or something, and planned to bring some back for themselves, and buy some for the children, Jiang Erhe bought some cigarettes and alcohol, and also bought some good tobacco.
Lao Hu bought a lot, used food, and wanted everything he saw, it was like emptying everything in the underground city.
Shen Lan was much more restrained and reserved, bought some food, toilet paper or something, bought some cloth and cotton, and finally saw that the wool was really unbearable, so she simply bought another five or six catties of wool.
When they came out, Jiang Momo was dumbfounded, their group bought two bicycles, a sewing machine, large bags of vegetables and meat for wearing, and two tricycles were not enough to pull, let alone pull people.
Qin Tian had already adapted to this situation, so he simply said to the person in charge here, directly packed it in a sack, and then marked it, and a few people went back on a tricycle with some simple things.
On the way back, Yao Huazhi asked a little worriedly: "Girl, those old things won't be lost, right?"
Jiang Momo hurriedly whispered: "A-Niang, this place has been open for many years, and its reputation is excellent, don't worry!"
Shen Lan was shocked when she heard it on the side, she has been open for many years? It is really a master of art who is bold, in such a chaotic world, there are people who dare to do such a business, and the strength behind it will definitely not be small.
When I got home, it was past twelve o'clock, and a few small ones saw a few people entering the door, so they hurriedly looked at them, Jiang Momo only brought biscuits and dry goods back, and didn't bring back any large items, so I gave a few small ones some biscuits to eat, and the two female comrades hurried to cook.
Qin Tian is also one of the strong laborers of cooking, Qin Tian burned the fire, the rice was fast, Jiang Momo directly steamed a large pot of rice, Yao Huazhi soaked a bowl of fungus out, the fungus fried a chili pork slices, sauerkraut vermicelli, added oil residue into it, and the fragrance made people want to eat it non-stop.
Shredded radish and pickles are served coldly, and eggs are scrambled with green onions.
The population is large, the dishes are not much, but the amount is large, several children each have a foreign porcelain bowl, the bowl is full of vegetables, eating in large gulps, Yao Huazhi looks at the heart is hurt, eat a few catties of polished rice in one meal, how much does it cost.
The things were not delivered until five o'clock in the afternoon, and Yao Huazhi's worried mouth was about to foam, and if the old things were really falsely accused, they really couldn't come back and call the police? How could it be, they were bought on the black market, and if they called the police, the police would arrest them first.
After the things were delivered, the big guy began to divide things, each child had a set of blue and white sportswear, of course, he bought a size larger, and each person had a pair of black sneakers, Jiang Momo was afraid of getting dirty, but Jiang Yu This kid really likes white sneakers, fortunately, he has had white sneakers before, and this time Jiang Momo bought the black ones.
Then there are things to eat, sesame biscuits, peach crisp, canned food, milk powder, malt milk essence, Yao Huazhi was stunned when he saw more than a dozen cans of milk powder: "Why do you buy so much milk powder, give it to your sister?"
Jiang Momo nodded and said, "My sister wants six cans, and the rest is one can for you and your father, and one can for my grandmother." ”
Yao Huazhi glared at her daughter and said, "Why do you and your father want that thing, we are not children!"
Jiang Momo was not angry, and explained seriously: "A-Niang, when people get old, the calcium in the body is easy to lose, the bones will be brittle, and it is easy to break bones if you fall lightly. ”
Yao Huazhi sighed: "It's a good thing, but this thing is also expensive, a jar costs five yuan, and I will give it to your father to drink when I turn around, you usually run around, and there are many chances of falling." ”
Jiang Momo was speechless for a while, put her arm around the old lady's shoulders and said, "Ah Niang, you and drink, as long as I have the opportunity, I will buy it for you and your father to drink, and drink it to live a long life!"
Yao Huazhi glared at her flowery daughter, and began to help pack up her things, and suddenly thought that Shen Lan had also bought those old things, so she asked in a low voice, "Did your father-in-law give Shen Lan money?"
Where is Qin Xiangming's money for a decentralized person, it is all subsidized by his son, where did Shen Lan get the money? That is not Qin Xiangming's money, isn't it all her daughter and son-in-law's money in this way.
Jiang Momo understood what the old lady meant, hugged the old lady and whispered: "Shen Lan's family conditions are not bad, I took out two gold bars before, and asked my father-in-law to help exchange them for money and tickets, or I changed them by hand, people are richer than my father-in-law." ”
Yao Huazhi is happy now, no matter how rich her daughter is, she doesn't want others to spend it, and she can't afford to spend it herself.
I was full at noon, and the older ones didn't want to eat, Jiang Momo simply wrapped some wontons out, and after lunch, I boiled the bone broth in a big iron pot, and after cooking, scooped a spoonful of broth, and then put green onions on it, and a few people who were not hungry each came with a small bowl.
Needless to say, a few small ones, even if they eat so well at noon, they are still reincarnated as if they were starving to death in the afternoon, three bowls per person, Jiang Yang is of course a small three bowls, and each bowl also has three small wontons in it.
When I was full of food and cleaned up the pots and bowls, it started to snow outside, and large snowflakes were all over the sky.
Jiang Momo sent the old lady and Shen Lan back to rest, and she and Qin Tian sent two large pots of noodles out, and then each of them carried a big pot and began to chop cabbage and meat.
The two of them had great strength and speed, and it only took more than an hour to get it done, Jiang Momo boiled water and filled a few thermoses, called a few small ones to mention each room, and then told them to boil water to wash their feet, and he carried two bottles of water to their own house.
Qin Tian burned all the kang in several rooms, the weather outside was cold, and the temperature of the kang had to be a little higher, otherwise there would be no one in the room.
It snowed heavily for two days in a row, and it didn't stop until the first day of the Lunar New Year, early in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Momo slept lazily in the house, and Qin Tian got up early to sweep the snow with a few men and children in the family, and the snow on the roof also had to be swept down.
Of course, on the morning of the first day of the new year, I ate dumplings, the weather is cold, the dumplings can be frozen, and the more than 1,000 dumplings wrapped on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve are all frozen on the east side of the house, and the windows are not afraid of snow coming in, nor afraid of too high temperature.
Yao Huazhi cooks dumplings in a big iron pot, one pot can go down to a hundred, leeks and eggs are the most popular, but Jiang Momo loves sauerkraut meat the most, it is really fragrant.
After eating a full meal, a few small smiles began to greet the New Year, Yao Huazhi took the first step and said: "Jiang Nan, Jiang Yu, Jiang Yang, the first day of the new year, the new year has begun, and in the future, I can no longer call my aunt and uncle, I have to call my parents." ”
Jiang Nan and Jiang Yu both looked at each other, a little hesitant, Jiang Momo smiled and said: "Auntie, I don't care, don't let the children feel uncomfortable, come, Jiang Nan, Jiang Yu, come here, my aunt will give a red envelope." ”
Yao Huazhi glared at her daughter, can this aunt be the same as a mother, she has been raised so dedicatedly, and she will not be able to provide for her daughter in the future, but this is not called how can a mother be done.
It's just that what people didn't expect was that the two children suddenly spoke: "Mom... Daddy!"
As soon as Jiang Yang heard his brothers call his parents, he hurriedly followed: "Happy New Year, Mom and Dad!"
Jiang Yaozu smiled and said, "Sister, happy new year brother-in-law!"
Jiang Momo smiled, hugged the three little ones in his arms, each of them knocked on the door of his head, and said with a smile: "Okay, happy new year also babies!" Then there is a red envelope, each child, including his younger brother, is five yuan per person, and the same is true for Qin Tian.
Yao Huazhi and Jiang Erhe each gave a red envelope of two yuan, the first year, and now they are their daughter's children again, and their honorary grandson, so they can give less.
Even Shen Lan gave it, and it was lively and lively, several people got together to talk in twos and threes, and Shen Lan knitted sweaters, newly bought wool, purple, she planned to knit a cardigan for herself to wear.
It stands to reason that the first day of the Lunar New Year is not allowed to move needles and threads, but after several years, these particularities are feudal superstitions, and young people don't care much about it, but the older generation still strictly abides by it.
Yao Huazhi doesn't use needlework, and when she has nothing to do, she reads the book on cutting clothes given by her daughter, and learns to make two shirts for men and herself with newly bought materials.
A few men gathered together to drink tea and talk, and the children were directly let out after eating, there were several families around, and there were two schools, the children were playing in the snow on the school's playground, and a few small ones were dressed thickly, Jiang Momo didn't care, only told the big ones to stare at the small ones.
