It wasn't until three o'clock in the afternoon that everyone went back. The three aunts helped to change the covers, sheets, and pillowcases. When there were many people, they didn't dare to take it out, and just a few new quilts attracted everyone's eyes.

Some people speak with a sour taste: "People still have a doorway, since they opened the consignment point, these days are the same, I don't know how much money I make." ”

Someone said, "Isn't it, you have to buy thousands of catties of wheat alone, you see, it's been half a year, and people still have to have 2,000 catties of wheat." ”

Youyou thought to herself: Grandma still has the foresight to let herself put away the wheat. Thanks to the fact that their yard is on the edge of the village, there is a family to the east.

In addition, my yard is also large, but I have to pay attention to food and clothing from now on. used to be far away from the village, and the second master's family was tight-mouthed, and they really didn't hear any discussions.

Complete sets of bed sheets, pillowcases and quilt covers, placed on the kang, warm and elegant, pleasing to the eye. The three aunts all said good: "Aunt, you still have a good eye, this set is good-looking." ”

Grandma's answer was: "I don't know that this set is good-looking, the cloth in the factory is not sold in batches, it is all in batches, I want two batches, who knows that it will be so good-looking." I'll go again in two days, and I'll give you more orders, and make two sets for each family. ”

Youyou said: "Guixiang made a set of coarse cloth, and it is good to look at it, and the complete set is good-looking." ”

The eldest aunt said: "Yoyo, you like coarse cloth, and in the spring, you will also weave a machine by yourself and make a complete set for you." Now, there is not enough coarse cloth for the concubine. ”

The aunt also said: "Aunt, the cloth you bought is better than the cloth in the supply and marketing cooperative, and it is really comfortable to cover." This quilt cover is trouble-free, and you don't have to remove the quilt in the future. Besides, we didn't have any tickets to buy ourselves, so we had to touch your light. But you have to take the money, or we'll be embarrassed to ask for it. ”

Grandma said to them: "Why don't you give it back to my aunt, I will ask you for it if I have no money, and I will take it for you." ”

Auntie and grandmother looked at them, "How many good things your aunt has given you, don't be embarrassed, just help your aunt more in the future." ”

They said in unison: "Mother, don't worry, I will listen to you." ”

The third aunt said, "Auntie, can you still buy clothes? ”

"Yes, I'm about to go to Linshui and get some more socks, how much do you want?"

Aunt Katsuo came to her senses, "Aunt, I still have to ask for 30 sets, you can also bring me some socks, I want 100 pairs." When are you going, I'll go back and ask them for money. ”

"I'll give you the money first, and I'll go on the 11th market, and I'll have to order pork on the market day. I didn't know earlier, I handed over the eggs and returned the meat ticket, don't do it in vain, it's cheap for them. ”

Aunt Katsuo said, "There are still such regulations, I don't know." Then you have to take advantage of the market day to hand over the eggs, and the food station usually kills a pig on the market. ”

The grandfather and grandmother of the new house lived in the easternmost one, and the custom here was that the east side was the head, and the old people in the family lived in the head. Yoyo lives in the second room to the east. Mom and Dad live in the westernmost room, and Hao Hao and Didi live in the second room in the west.

The kang was covered with a thick mattress, which was not too cold and covered with a blanket. A set of bedding, soft and comfortable, happy Didi turned his head on the kang. Yoyo is even happier, finally has his own room, and it will be much easier to enter and exit the space in the future.

Grandpa and Dad sat in the hall and talked, "My life has been full of ups and downs, but I didn't expect to enjoy my old age in this small village." ”

Dad also sighed: "Dad, I went around the earth, or did you give the second elder a place to live, this village is our family's paradise." ”

Mom boiled a pot of hot water, and the whole family burned their feet. Grandma followed Yoyo into the house, "I'll sleep with Yoyo first, and it's the first time she's sleeping by herself." ”

Closing the door, grandma said: "Hurry into the space, grandma has to take a shower to relieve fatigue, it's really old, and after this day, it's not good to be tired." ”

After taking a bath, Grandma did not rest, and the two of them buried the jar containing gold bars and money into the ground of the room.

The consignment point and the health room have been moved to the house, which is much more convenient. As long as there are no patients when cooking, my father will come to help my grandmother, and when my mother finishes school, she will eat ready-made food when she gets home. She was so happy that she couldn't find the north anymore, and gave her father a thumbs up.

Since I moved, the consignment point has become a gathering place for people in the village, and from dawn to dark, there has been no interruption. People come here for dinner and come here for chatting. Especially the elderly, sitting outside the consignment point, leaning against the wall to warm up, and the children are playing on the side.

Grandpa and Grandma sat at the door, chatting with everyone. When you come to buy something, you go to the consignment point.

The current folk customs are really good, and the children never enter the consignment point. Even Baoshan, a domineering child, never went in to get anything, he was so anxious that he asked his grandmother for money, so he held it up and handed it to his grandmother: "I'll buy candy." ”

In addition, adults warn children not to play in front of the health room. In fact, there is no need for adults to tell them, and children are not afraid of doctors. Occasionally, Yoyo's father came out in a white coat, and the children ran away from him when they saw it.

Also, in the memories of the children, the father is equated with needles and medicine, and the memories related to the doctor are either pain or suffering, plus the discomfort of the disease, and the beauty is definitely not next to each other.

One of the two lumps of mutton fat was left and my grandmother tied it with a rope and hung it under the eaves of the kitchen. When Yoyo saw it, he pestered his grandmother to make mutton fat cakes.

On the second day of moving, my grandmother was free, so she made a pot of soft dough, chopped mutton fat and mixed with five-spice powder, plus chopped green onion and minced ginger, wrapped it in the dough, and began to roll out the bread.

Grandma instructed Youyou: "Go and call your uncle and grandma, and say that she will come and help grandma make mutton fat cakes and bring the tweezers." ”

Uncle and grandmother looked at Zhiru and Zhiqiang on the street, and passed the word to you, and asked, "Uncle, what is a tweezer?"

Uncle and grandmother arranged for her: "Yoyo, you are watching your younger siblings here, I will go home and get it, and you will know in a while." ”

Baoshan's grandmother said beside her: "Yoyo, I'll break a riddle for you: one leg is born in the soil, two legs are called five watches, three legs are standing in the fire, and four legs are drilling." ”

Yoyo seemed to have heard his friend say this riddle, and thought carefully for a while. "I guessed that one leg is a mushroom, two legs are a rooster, four legs are a mouse, and three legs don't know. ”

Just as my aunt and uncle came back, holding a convex round iron plate in her hand, she told her the answer: "It's a tweezer." ”

You turned around and looked around: "Grandma, its three legs." ”

My uncle and grandmother pointed to the three iron claws about five centimeters under the iron plate and said, "Isn't it?" ”

When I returned home, my uncle and grandmother used three bricks to set up the legs, and then sat down to light the fire, and my grandmother was responsible for rolling out the cake and being responsible for baking.

Only then did Yoyo suddenly realize: "It's really a three-legged fire." Auntie, let me burn it. ”

Grandma rushed her out: "Hurry up and go out to see the children, and when they are ready, they will tell you to eat, don't make a mess." "Yes, I was disliked, in my grandmother's mind, no matter how smart I was, I was also a child.

Uncle and grandmother coaxed her: "Yoyo, this burning tweezer is a technical job, the fire is not good, it is not good if it is small, it has to be burned evenly, there must be fire under the tweezer, so it can be done." Sister, it's time to turn over the pie. ”

Grandma took a smooth cake flipping support, neatly turned over a large piece of cake, a layer of golden bubbles rose on the dough cake, and a fresh fragrance of mutton fat wafted out.

Life is full of learning, looking at his little arms and legs, he can't burn the fire and can't turn the cake, and he goes out to see the children leisurely.

After the two of them finished baking the cake, they burned another pot of spinach and egg soup. Youyou was sent out again and called two aunts to come to the house for dinner.

The mutton fat cake is half a finger thick and is divided into several layers, each with diced mutton fat inside. You took a bite, the outside was crispy and the inside was tender, fragrant and delicious.

The mille-feuille cake baked by grandma was thick and big, and each one had to be more than a catty, and Zhiyuan, Zhiliang and Haohao ate one each. My aunt said, "If these noodles are steamed enough to eat for a day, the pancakes will be eaten in one meal." No wonder the old saying says that drinking noodles saves money, drinks pimple fees, and wants to eat pot helmets and sell the land. ”

Grandma doesn't think so: "Sister-in-law, I still eat too much and grow stronger, you look at Jiege Niang, she is willing to burn pot helmets in our village, and her sons have grown strong and strong, much taller than his old couple." ”

My uncle and grandmother also said: "His children can eat and work, and every winter they go out to pull their feet, the family's food is saved, and they can still earn money, which no one in our village can compare." ”

After listening to it, it is no wonder that the countryside is patriarchal, the key is that the son can earn wealth. Jiege's family has a good life, and it is a high-class household in the village.
