Chapter 17: The Peasant Meal and the Man
,,,,,
After boiling the pot for a while, I smelled the fragrance wafting from the pot.
The smell made people feel even more hungry, and after a while, they went out to call their mother-in-law into the house to eat.
As soon as the lid is lifted, the fragrance is even stronger.
There is the sweet aroma of corn and the salty aroma of egg sauce.
When I took off the egg sauce on top with a rag, I saw that the potatoes below were all blooming.
Underneath the potatoes are a few golden, golden corns, which make people appetize when they look at it.
I picked it up on the table and asked my mother-in-law to eat it first, so I took a small pot and filled it with a few potatoes and a few corns. I sent it to Aunt Guo's house, even if it is not a good thing, you can try it.
As soon as they arrived at Aunt Guo's house, their family was also eating. I ate cornmeal flatbread and eggplant stewed with beans.
Seeing that I brought something over, Aunt Guo said to me: "What are you doing here, keep it for yourself." ”
I smiled and said, "The first time I called the bud rice, I brought some of it, so that you can try it." After saying that, he put down the small basin and walked out. As he walked, he said, "Eat quickly, and I'll go home for dinner."
When I got home, I saw that my mother-in-law hadn't eaten, and she sat at the table as if waiting for me. Looking at such a mother-in-law, tears almost didn't come down, and his condition is really getting better and better now.
calmed down and said to her mother-in-law with a smile, "Mother, I'll make you a rice bag, right?"
The mother-in-law smiled and said, "Okay."
After washing my hands and sitting on the kang table (my home is a kang table), first spread a cabbage leaf, sprinkle a layer of torn green onion leaves on it, nest two chopsticks egg sauce, mash a potato, take the bottom of the rice bowl, snap, buckle the cabbage leaves, put the parts of the cabbage gang up to the nest, press the leaves on both sides to the middle, do not let go, and hold the bottom with the other hand, you can start eating.
Seeing that my mother-in-law ate it, I wrapped it again. The procedure is all the same, except that I can't eat too salty, so I put a piece of egg sauce less. After working for a long time, I finally ate it, and the taste was really delicious.
Rice buns are a delicious meal that every Northeast person wants to eat in summer and autumn. In my previous life, I used to buy ingredients to eat in big cities, but I always felt that no matter how I ate them, it didn't taste as good as the one I ate back then.
If you want to say that there is nothing to sell in 2017, but even if you buy something that is more expensive. When you eat it, it doesn't taste as good as you think. It's not as sweet as I remember. Maybe what I want to eat is not the taste, but the memory!
The mother-in-law ate two potato rice packets and two ears of corn. I ate three rice packets and two ears of corn. The stomach was full and swollen, and I was afraid that I would have indigestion if I went to bed too early, so I deliberately walked around the yard a few times after dinner.
The sky had just darkened, and it was quiet. There is only one twinkling star in the far north, twinkle and twinkle as if to greet you, and it is the North Star. It is now the 28th day of the eighth month of the solar calendar, and there will be no moon in the night sky. Then it will be the brightest presence of the night.
Standing in the courtyard and admiring the night sky, I heard the sound of frogs chirping from afar. Thinking about my heart, the solar calendar is about to enter September, and the lunar calendar is about to reach the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15. This is a day that Chinese have cared about since ancient times, reunion day.
I wonder what the pillar is doing now?
…………
At this time, in the depths of Changbai Mountain, thousands of miles away from here, rows of neat houses can be faintly seen under the night sky, like a fierce beast lurking in the night, waiting for the appearance of prey.
In the woods not far away, there was a flickering fire. Up close, it turned out to be someone leaning against the trunk of a tree, smoking a cigarette in his hand.
At this moment, a man came from the silent camp and greeted him.
"I said, Comrade Sun Jinzhu, as the deputy instructor of our special brigade, it's not good that you are still hanging out outside and not sleeping, so blatantly violating discipline. A man who is not tall, but gives people a kind of strength like a black bear, said.
"Chief Instructor Li Dayou, you didn't sleep either?" The man smoking the cigarette had an expressionless face and even replied a little indifferently.
"Hey, didn't I come out to arrest you?" he said, hitting him on the arm with his shoulder and saying, "What's going on? You said that you mailed her so much money last time, and she was moved to tears when she saw it. Hey, you said that it will cost 800 to marry a daughter-in-law in the countryside now, and I have to go back to the city to marry a daughter-in-law for 2,000. If you don't let your daughter-in-law introduce me to one in the village, I think the girl from the countryside is also very good. Like your daughter-in-law, she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses for you, didn't she?"
The smoking man listened silently, Li Dayou chattered for a long time, and when he heard him mention his daughter-in-law and the dragon and phoenix fetus, the expression on his face softened a little.
"Hey, let me ask you, can you ask your daughter-in-law to introduce me to one in the countryside? ”
"Can't" After saying that, he extinguished the cigarette and walked towards the camp
"Hey, you can't say a few more words. What a calm person I am, I'm about to become a woman in front of you. As he spoke, he walked to the man in front of him, walked up to him and said, "You said that I should go out again in two days, to see if your daughter-in-law has replied to you." I told you that it was a coincidence last time, if I hadn't been there, I would have sent you a letter from your daughter-in-law. Why can't you accept it, you don't thank me for this, let your daughter-in-law introduce me to a daughter-in-law. Can you bear to watch your brother beat a bachelor? ”
"With you, it's not appropriate. After speaking, he looked at him carefully and walked forward.
"Eh, you person, if you don't help me, I won't give you the letter when I get it" Li Dayou looked at the back of the person in front of him and thought, what kind of person is this? When he doesn't move, he hides in the darkness like a shadow of a ghost. When he set out, it was like a tiger that had spotted its prey, and the momentum around him seemed to be able to form an air current, rolling his prey into the Deep State.
Sun Jinzhu's voice came from afar. "Whatever you want".
"Why are you going so fast, wait for me. He took a few quick steps forward and caught up with him and said, "How do you say our recruits are training?"
"It's not up to the best, let's train for another half a month, pull it out and practice."
"Isn't your request too high, I think it's very good!"
Sun Jinzhu walked to the door, turned around and said: "If you don't move forward, you will fall behind, and if you fall behind, you will be beaten" After speaking, he opened the door and walked in. And then slammed the door shut?
"Hey...... Forget it, just practice, I hope you can practice" After speaking, he opened his door and walked in.

Zhou Shujie, who was lying on the kang and sleeping with the child in her arms, didn't know that the address that the man had told her was only the address of the supply troops around their station.
