Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Stay
The dishes were served, and the men began to drink. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Wang Hongying was busy pouring the rice in the pot into the stir-fry pot, leaving the pot, spinning a circle of braised pork miso soup, half-covering the lid of the pot, and lighting straw in the pot hole, and began to kang pot.
Zhu Linglong saw that the eldest daughter-in-law had made the pot so carefully, and couldn't help but nag a few words: "You are used to being a child, you can use Fei Chai Hekang pot, and pour meat oil and broth on the pot." It's just that your family's life is better, and when you go out to see other people's homes, many of them drink porridge for three meals a day, and some only eat two porridges. I know your family has relied on, but you also have to be restrained, don't do too much, make people blush. ”
"I know, mother-in-law, I haven't done this before, but this time I'm going to take my little cousin and cousin on the way to eat. It's good to give them the kang buns, but once the buns are cold, they will die stiff, and they can't chew it, not to mention, and it hurts their stomachs.
At the beginning, when we left, my uncle and grandmother took away all the best dried taro in the house. As soon as I think about it, I wish I could bring out the best things in the house and entertain them. ”
Hearing the eldest daughter-in-law talk about the past, Zhu Linglong's heart also fluctuated: "Alas! In previous years, there was no way, not even the New Year, and it was even more impossible for us to go for five or six days to visit relatives." Now that you're free, you're free to go anywhere! Since Mr. Minghua has said that he will go to the mountains to pay New Year's greetings on the fourth or fifth day of next year, you can get more good ones to bring to the boss when the time comes. ”
"That's naturally to prepare, even if you don't say it, mother-in-law, I also plan to let my uncle take some practical things to look at in the county seat. In times of famine, the benefits of the mountains are revealed, and in normal times, the mountains are not as good as our mountains. ”
The eldest daughter-in-law Zhu Linglong agreed with this sentence, and the cousin who listened to it said that when there was a famine, the girls under the mountain rushed to marry in the mountains. Later, when the famine passed, it was difficult for the men in the mountains to find their daughters-in-law under the mountains. Only occasionally a girl from the mountain will marry down the mountain, and even if the man's family is surrounded by four walls, others will open their eyes and tell nonsense, saying that they have found a good mother-in-law's family.
Just like the one that Sister Shounan found, several villages in Fangyuan couldn't even exchange three loads of corn pellets, which shows how poor that place is! But just like that, the Xie family is very happy for Sister Shounan, and they are glad that she is lucky to be able to marry down the mountain.
The pot in the pot began to glow with a burnt aroma, so Wang Hongying stopped adding fire to the pot hole, and spread the original hot grass ash with fire tongs. Stand up and take the grass from her mother-in-law's hand, and let her mother-in-law go in to eat. Zhu Linglong was not polite, but when she saw that Chunxiang and Xingxiang hadn't come back yet, she wanted to ask her eldest daughter-in-law to leave some vegetables: "You can leave some dishes for Chunxiang and Xingxiang!"
The primary school where Chunxiang and Xingxiang used to study had only three classes was withdrawn this summer, and all the children were concentrated in the village elementary school south of the brigade headquarters. There are from the first grade to the fifth grade, but it is far away from home, and it takes more than 30 minutes for the children to walk once, and they are all ridge paths, and they can't afford to toss that time when they want to deliver food.
When the weather is cold, the children in the first and second grades do not run back and forth at noon, and their older siblings or older siblings from Honjo help to bring food. But Chunxiang is willing to run home with her sister Xingxiang at noon every day, because they can eat hot meals when they get home, and they don't want to bring food to each other, and eat the cold meals that are half warm and cold.
Wang Hongying replied a little embarrassed: "It's already been stayed, put it in a big jar, and put it in the hot ash of the pot hole to cover it!"
"That's good, then I'll go into the house for dinner, you can come over quickly!"
"Go ahead, I'll wait until they're drunk, and then we'll eat with them." ”
This is etiquette here, and if the host is still drinking, it is considered rude for the host to eat without drinking. However, the elders can make exceptions.
The uncle and nephew were full of wine and food, and the corn could be disposed of, and their worries were removed, and they were relaxed. Originally, I just took a nap, but I didn't wake up until dawn the next day. As soon as the two woke up, they had to go home.
Liu Baiquan was a little angry after persuading and persuading: "Your home is so far away, and you have to carry so many meters, my boss and I will always send you to the foot of the mountain." It will take you half a day to walk from me to the foot of your mountain. Let's not say that you still have to go up the mountain, just say that I and your boss will send you to the foot of the mountain, and we won't have time to come back.
And this rice is not the same as corn kernels, it can't be packed in baskets, you have to use sacks. Your boss went to the brigade headquarters to help borrow a few sacks to come back to load rice, so that you are not afraid of accidentally spilling rice on the road. When he got home, I had to pick up two loads of rice with him to the computer room of the brigade headquarters to untie the rice (that is, the rice was husked into rice), so I was afraid that I would not be able to get busy until the evening. You said to yourself, can you walk today?"
Xie Shounan looked at his uncle, and his uncle said that if he didn't leave, he wouldn't leave, so he looked at Xie Chengshu silently. Xie Chengshu's face turned red when he asked his cousin to say a few words, and Nuo Nuo didn't know what to say for a long time. In fact, Xie Chengshu was in a hurry to go back, that is, he wanted to hurry back and call a few more people to send five loads of corn over. The other is that I am eager to tell my family about the good things that have been exchanged for a lot of rice, and I want to tell my grandfather, second master, and third grandfather who have always remembered my cousin's family, and my cousin is very good. But I can't tell my cousin about this reason, the first two are embarrassed to say it, and the last one can't stand it.
The uncle and nephew stayed again, and they were still entertained by Wang Hongying. Chengshu and Shounan went to Yu Yin's house to see the children, Zhang Mingfeng didn't even give people saliva to drink, and it was impossible for them to be busy entertaining guests, of course, Wang Hongying and Zhu Linglong's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't count on her.
At noon, it was another table full of meat dishes and few vegetarian dishes, and Xie Chengshu really felt that he couldn't sit still.
"Cousin, cousin, I accept your kindness, but you can't come like this. Next time, I will ask my brother and brother to bring corn together, but you are like this, I really dare not come. ”
Zhu Linglong pressed her cousin's shoulder: "Sit down and sit down!" Didn't I tell you, your eldest cousin has hundreds of geese and ducks! Even this chicken has more than 30 chickens, and the dishes on this table are all domestic, and they don't cost a penny. You can rest assured that your brother and brother will come, and the family will designate a bite to eat. Ask a few of your daughters-in-law to come too, and the family will bring a few salted ducks and salted geese back, and people will be guests during the New Year. ”
Although there is no shortage of meat in the mountains, they lack salt. At present, the salt they eat is still rationed by the brigade headquarters according to the population. Therefore, when they caught pheasants and hares, they hung them on the rafters of the eaves and dried them, and there was not a single salty product. Yesterday at noon, Wang Hongying specially made two salty dishes in order to feed the uncle and nephew of the Xie family. Unexpectedly, the two of them liked the cured meat very much, and the food was fragrant.
This time they went back, Zhu Linglong originally planned to let them bring a few back to give their family a taste. It's just that they have two uncles and nephews, and they have to carry two loads of rice to climb the mountain, and one load weighs at least 120 catties, and she really can't bear to add weight to them.
But Xie Chengshu really wanted his father and mother to taste the salted duck and salted goose that he had never eaten before. I want to politely refuse, but I am reluctant, and I am very embarrassed.
Wang Hongying saw it clearly from the side, and guessed Xie Chengshu's thoughts almost the same, so he smiled and proposed: "If the little old watch is not tired, either take two salted geese back first, and let them taste it." I thought it was delicious, so I asked my cousins to bring a few air-dried rabbit meat and pheasant meat from home to exchange for salted duck and salted goose. Everyone on our side wants to eat rabbit and pheasant, but they can't get it. ”
With the words of the eldest cousin-in-law, Xie Chengshu no longer felt that his family blindly took the things of his cousin's family and took advantage of the old cousin's family, and he felt much more at ease. He happily said that as long as any of the aunts and sisters-in-law were willing to make this trip, he would take them. As for rabbit meat and pheasant, as long as they are focused on hunting, there will be.
