Chapter 138: Repaying Kindness and Shabu Water

On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, the Gaoshan Brigade completely stopped working, even if the feudal superstition was abolished, but the members of the club tacitly followed the old customs.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the cafeteria is in full swing, this is preparing the food for the sacrificial stove, but no one mentions it, who will have trouble with the food? .

After the 24th day of the lunar month, the canteen only distributed rations to each household and no longer opened fire.

After the four teams counted the warehouse, each family was able to distribute two eggs, and Qiao's father even indicated that on Chinese New Year's Eve, he would kill a few ducks to let the members have a good year.

At the same time, the members were happy, but also began to look forward to the value of the work calculated on the 25th day of the lunar month, after all, during the period from the 25th of the lunar month to the Chinese New Year, there is no taboo to marry a wife and daughter, and it is the peak period for increasing or decreasing the population.

The sacrificial stove is a man's business, Qiao Jiayue quietly prepared some winter melon strips, rock candy and biscuits, put them on the stove, and simply worshipped and ended.

Because the red paper with the order of the stove monarch had been torn off a long time ago, and he didn't dare to paste the new one, Qiao's father could only dip his fingers in the water and draw it meaningfully on the wall.

At this time, in the team, except for Grandpa Lan, only Bai Meilan received the package from home, and they became the only two people who had fabric to make new clothes.

The various tickets that the brigade bought in exchange for grain were exchanged for physical goods and then distributed to various production teams and households, but there were not many at all.

Qiao Jiayue looked at the blue-gray cloth, which felt rough and unevenly dyed, which was not expected at all.

And just this piece of cloth, let other people collect it like a treasure, after all, sewing and mending can rely on this.

She has a lot of fabric stored in her package, but unfortunately she can't take it out, but fortunately, in the last few days, she is eating at home, and she can quietly toss some delicious food for her family to make up.

Qiao's father is still waiting for Xu Sunshine to transport the last batch of dried shiitake mushrooms before the final settlement can be made.

The other production teams were the same, fortunately, on the twenty-fifth day, Xu Sunshine did not disappoint Qiao's father, and walked from the commune early in the morning, bringing an unexpected person.

That's Cai Ming.

Cai Ming took a bulging cloth bag and entered the brigade in a rather high-profile manner, asking for a benefactor by name.

At this time, everyone was idle, and they all asked what was going on, and Cai Ming made an adaptation of the story of his rescue.

So Qiao's father didn't arrive at the brigade headquarters yet, so he heard several people tell him this story, what Cai Ming has been looking for a benefactor for several years, and only found Yunyun through Xu Sunshine this year, and now he is here to repay his kindness, and he will be a relative in the future.

With a smile on his face, he thought to himself, what is Cai Ming's purpose in doing this?

Qiao's father didn't think that Cai Ming had discovered the secrets of his family in the few days he was recuperating at home, and he really couldn't find the purpose of his special befriending his family.

At the gate of the school, Qiao's father met Cai Ming and Xu Yangyang, and just as he was about to say hello, Cai Ming walked two steps quickly, knelt down in front of him and kowtowed.

Father Qiao was frightened by Cai Ming's battle, he had already seen that this person had a good background, how could he easily kneel for himself?

He hurriedly helped Cai Ming up, "I said that you are so polite, at that time, anyone who encountered it would help." ”

"It's different. Cai Ming shook his head, he didn't elaborate on the scene in front of everyone, but directly tore open his cloth bag and began to dig things out.

Brown sugar, canned fruit, malt cream, cloth...... Suddenly, the eyes of the onlookers were red, and they couldn't wait to grow a few hooks to pull those into their arms.

These are things that only people in the city can buy!

Everyone looked at Cai Ming's gaze with a little heat, this person must have a formal job in the city and eat national food, otherwise how could he be willing to take so many things?

Some people were about to move, and even thought about introducing someone to Cai Ming.

Qiao's father was startled, and hurriedly grabbed Cai Ming's hand, if these things were taken out again, the threshold of his house would definitely be broken!

"Let's go back. Qiao's father grabbed Cai Ming and walked home, and Xu Sunshine followed behind.

The members of the club are not easy to keep up with to see the excitement, but the children have no scruples, they bite their fingers, hoping that Cai Ming, a city person, can distribute candy.

Qiao Jiayue was still thinking about how to make delicious food at home, and Qiao Qiuyue and a few other children came to report to her quickly.

"Jiayue, Jiayue, your family is developed, developed!"

Qiao Jiayue looked at Qiao Qiuyue, who was so excited that she was talking nonsense, and frowned slightly: "Qiuyue, why can't I understand what you're saying?"

"I'll come, I'll come ......," the other girl shouted.

From the gossip descriptions of several people, Qiao Jiayue finally pieced together the general idea of the matter.

"Jiayue, such a rich guest, do you want to soak in brown sugar water to entertain you?"

Qiao Qiuyue asked, and stretched out her tongue and licked her lips, looking expectant.

Qiao Jiayue saw that the other children were also like this, and couldn't help but think of one thing, at this time, the brown sugar water bowl that had entertained the guests would be filled with water and rinsed once, or even two or three times, and some people licked it directly on their tongues.

So, basically all the children are looking forward to the guests coming to the house, and they can expect to get this benefit.

She was a little sad, and couldn't help but turn her head, "It should be, my mother is in charge." ”

"Jiayue, you see that we are all so good, then we will take a sip of the water in your bowl, okay?" Qiao Qiuyue looked at her pleadingly.

"Jiayue, okay, I'll dig you sweet grass for three days, okay?"

"Why don't I cut a bundle of fern for you?"

"I'll do the work for you. ”

Looking at the expectant eyes of Qiao Qiuyue's little girls, Qiao Jiayue couldn't say anything to refuse.

And Qiao Hongzhi's side, he also got the news of the distinguished guests at home early, and was also begged by his friends to make a bowl of water.

His eyes rolled, "I can get a bowl of real brown sugar water, believe it?"

"Brother Xiao Zhi is amazing! You are the Monkey King who flies through the clouds, flying 108,000 miles with his head. "A kid with a runny yellow nose was immediately slapped on the ass.

Seeing this, the others did not lag behind and followed suit.

A person who played well with Qiao Hongzhi said: "One bowl is too little, it's not enough at all, you might as well bring brown sugar, and we'll make a bowl by ourselves." ”

When Lan Xiangbin heard this, he glared at Qiao Weimin who was speaking, "Qiao Weimin, don't talk nonsense." ”

This person really can't do it, and he actually instigated Qiao Hongzhi to steal things.

He said to Qiao Hongzhi: "Xiaozhi, you can't steal brown sugar, your uncle and aunt will be angry, so let's take a bowl of water, I will ask my grandfather for a bowl of brown sugar water, and everyone will drink a sip." ”

Qiao Weimin smiled and glanced at Qiao Hongzhi, "I'll just talk about it, how can Xiaozhi do it?"

Qiao Hongzhi smiled, as if he didn't realize that there was anything wrong with his little friend's words, he patted Lan Xiangbin's shoulder, "Okay, then it's decided." ”

Qiao Hongzhi turned around and walked home, the smile on his face slowly faded, and after Qiao's father's suggestion, he also found that there were really few people who really made friends with him.

I have to say that he is in a little depressed, but think about it, A-Niang once said that friends should be at the same level as themselves, and they are not much more expensive.

The gap between the friendship of life and death and the friendship of the general is not small.

Hmm, it must be that his level is too high, so he doesn't have a few true friends, Qiao Hongzhi thought complacently.
