The fourth uncle said: "No, don't bother with that, it doesn't matter if you won't come back next year." This year, this firewood is not beaten, let the village help to beat a little, and come back to give money. Dozens of dollars. ”

Xiaowei said: "You're going to officially enter the city next year? Oh yes, Xiu'er will take the college entrance examination next year." It's okay, let's move to Fengtian, and when the time comes, I will come back to get mountain goods, and I usually see what to do in Fengtian, my uncle's small shop is now comfortable. ”

The fourth uncle fiddled with the brazier, picked a few potatoes and buried them in the fire, and said, "Let's talk about it next summer, I'm hesitant." What can you do when you go to Fengtian? Your uncle can do everything, and your father will just protect you. I didn't understand the way in the city. ”

Xiaowei said: "Isn't it me, do you still have to figure it out yourself? When the time comes, I'll open a shop for you, hire someone to sell, you and my fourth aunt just collect money and check the accounts, usually the fourth aunt will help my mother take care of the children, you can't stay in my factory to do something." ”

The fourth uncle said: "You help me open a shop, hire a good person to sell, and your fourth aunt and I will just wait to get the money?

Xiaowei said: "It's not like that. There are people who hire people to sell in the city, but now Gazi and Siwei stalls are hired people, so they don't have to do it themselves.

When the time comes, you can just pay me back the money for opening the store, and it won't be given to you for free, and you can pay the rent, water, electricity, and industrial and commercial taxes yourself, and I don't care. Loading or something, you and my fourth aunt will get it later. ”

The fourth uncle said, "What are you doing?"

Xiaowei said: "If you want to make it easier, you can also get a convenience store, like my uncle." If you want to make more money, you can sell clothes, but that test your eyesight, whether the goods are good or not is the most important thing, I guess you and my fourth aunt are enough, so you have to let Xiu'er go. ”

The fourth uncle said: "Your fourth aunt and I have to come back to get mountain goods, this stall can't be lost, it's not a matter of how much money you make, everyone has multiple ways to make money." You can't earn it, and you can't afford it. ”

Xiaowei said: "Okay, you can do it if you want, as long as you are happy." Why don't you go get a driver's license, it's more convenient to drive back and forth. ”

The fourth uncle lit a cigarette and laughed a few times: "I still drive, but I don't want to talk about it, and in the future, it's okay to ride a motorcycle in the summer camp, but the car is still forgotten, and I can't play that trick."

I can't even drive a tractor. It turned out that the jumper in the team, I measured it a few times, and I went over the ditch as soon as I got it. He shook his head: "It's not that piece of material, otherwise I would have been a tractor driver in the commune at that time, and I wouldn't have to work for fifteen cents." ”

The pot was steam and steaming, Xiaowei made a fire, spread out the chopping wood to make the fire less fierce, and said: "Driving a car is different from a tractor, our motorcycles can only be ridden for a few days, and we can't row." Wait until Fengtian and I get the stage, you can try it, and then talk about it. ”

The fourth uncle thought for a while and said, "It's okay." I just watched people ride motorcycles in the county, and it felt good. ”

Zhang Bing jumped out of the back room: "That's because they don't have money and can't afford to buy a car." Second brother, why are you going to have to work so hard to boil a pot and get some food?

Xiaowei said: "Then what are you doing in the house? Why don't you get it? If you want to burn potatoes, it will become the fourth uncle's burning, and you will wait for ready-made ones all day?"

Zhang Bing turned his head and looked at the brazier in front of the fourth uncle: "It's really burning? Ran over and squatted on the edge of the brazier: "Is it ripe?"

The fourth uncle looked at it and said, "It's early, it will take a while." You're pretty much done eating. ”

Xiaowei said: "Wait a few more minutes, just get on the gas." Clean up the table and put the kang table on it. ”

Zhang Bing pursed his lips and got up to move the table. Xiaowei took the dishes and chopsticks into the house, and Xiaohong and Xiu'er moved over to share the dishes and chopsticks.

After the four of them had eaten, Xiaowei cleaned up the table, Zhang Bing ran to bring in egg chili sauce again, Xiaohong asked, "What are you doing here?"

Xiu'er said, "Burn the potatoes, my dad will burn them." ”

Xiaohong said, "Bring me one." You bring the bowl and eat it alone?"

Zhang Bing held the sauce bowl and rolled his eyes: "There are three burned in total, why don't you burn them if you want to eat them?" You bid, whoever has the highest price will give the two to whom, starting with five yuan." ”

Xiaowei's mother, Aunt Wang and the fourth aunt sat on the kang and talked, Xiaowei's father and the fourth uncle were in the North Kang, and when they heard Zhang Bing's words, they all looked over, and Aunt Wang said happily: "Mom, this is still bidding, auction?"

Xiaowei cleaned up the outhouse, came in with a bowl and brought a few boiled potatoes, put them on the edge of the kang and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiaohong and Xiu'er grinned and took one and lay on the edge of the kang to peel the skin, Zhang Bing frowned and looked at Xiaowei: "You compensate me." It's a good auction for you to mess up, pay me, ten yuan. ”

Xiaowei also took a potato and sat down: "What kind of play is ten yuan?"

The fourth aunt said: "Xiaobing, why don't you hurry up and eat for a while, none of them will be gone, and they will still be there for ten yuan." ”

The burned potatoes are particularly delicious, and the roasted ones are different, although there are fire ashes on the skin but not dirty, the high temperature has been burned, a break is a strong fragrance coming out, the skin is slightly burnt, a bite is glutinous and sandy.

After eating the potatoes with egg chili sauce, Xiaowei clapped his hands and said, "It's delicious." I remembered roasting edamame. Fourth uncle, are there beans and peanuts in the village now? ”

The fourth uncle said: "That's not easy to get, give money to plant, then it won't take much land." ”

Xiaowei said: "Okay, you can get some next year." ”

……

Early the next morning, as soon as the sky dawned, Xiaohong Xiuer Zhang Bing was still sleeping Zhengxiang, the fourth uncle and four aunts, Xiaowei's parents, Aunt Wang and Xiaowei got up. A few women went to get breakfast, Xiaowei's father, fourth uncle and Xiaowei came out to the courtyard to prepare something to kill pigs.

Boil the water in the cauldron, and when the water boils, brush the locust wood case with hot water, scald the cauldron and basin with boiling water, move out of the old tree stump from the warehouse, and also scald it with boiling water several times.

The fourth aunt went to fish a big pot of sauerkraut, threw it with warm water, Xiaowei and Aunt Wang began to slice and cut. This is a thin slice to see the effort.

Xiaowei's mother ignited the stove of the North Kang, brushed the cauldron, put a few tablespoons of soybean oil into it, and when the oil was warm, the oil was cooked, and a handful of pepper star anise cinnamon was added, and the smoke rose into the air.

Fry for a while, take out the pepper star anise cinnamon and throw it into the stove pit, pour the chopped green onion and ginger into the oil, add soy sauce and pepper noodles together, add a little sugar, add half a pot of water, cover the lid and burn, turn around and find a kitchen knife, and also come over to help cut sauerkraut.

The stove room was full of smoke at this time, the pot was fluttering with hot steam, the firewood in the stove was crackling, and the four people each occupied a vegetable pier and cut sauerkraut, Aunt Wang wiped her forehead with her sleeve, and said with a smile: "It feels like a big canteen for the production team at that time." ”

Xiaowei's mother didn't raise her head: "You just show off, who has ever been in the canteen here except you?" It must be the captain's family of the cadre's family, we can't even see the oily one day, and you guys have broth every day." ”
