Lunch lasts until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, which can be said to be a joy for the guests and hosts.

Qi Shufang temporarily changed her mind, feeling that giving back wild meat was suspected of showing off, and it would make people feel that they had a lot of air-dried game at home, which was easy to cause trouble, so it was better to send it to them quietly another day. So most of the visitors returned empty-handed, and after cleaning up the pots and pans, only Shen Daniu and Cai Xiaohua, another member of the brigade, went back with some leftovers.

The gentlemen drink, the ladies eat a small amount, and there are steamed buns as the staple food, and there are a lot of dishes left over from the two tables.

Qi Shufang didn't send all the leftovers to Shen Daniu and Cai Xiaohua, but left half of the leftover part to the eldest uncle's house and the second uncle's house, and some of them were given to the owner as a thank you gift when the tables, chairs, and chopsticks were returned, and some of them were kept for dinner at her own house.

In rural areas, every household lacks oil and water, and no one will dislike leftovers.

So, the rest of the afternoon was for He Jianguo to return the tables and chairs, and Qi Shufang counted the food received at home.

Huo Jianfeng and Zhou Guohong sent the most, the white rice and fine noodles were ten catties, and the rest of the families ranged from two catties to three catties, with different thicknesses, except for the rice sent by Bai Yinghong has been used to cook porridge, vegetables, meat and eggs have also been made into vegetables, a total of thirteen catties of white rice, eleven catties of fine noodles, five catties of black noodles, seven catties of cornmeal, ten catties of dried sweet potato noodles, and six salted duck eggs.

Is...... I'm sorry to accept it! They don't have white rice and fine noodles at home, so they can get so much for a single treat.

Qi Shufang carefully put away the grain and locked it, and when she turned around to clean up the kitchen, she found that the ball of oil cotton yarn was still in the bowl.

Qi Shufang thought uncertainly, recalling the scene when she imitated the original technique and baked pancakes, specially prepared a thick black oil backrest, dipped some oil and rubbed it on the pancakes, after the pancakes were cooked, they were very easy to lift, very complete, and would not stick to the pancakes.

However, there is not much oil soaked in cotton yarn, and it can't drip down.

Qi Shufang, who still had a large pot of wild boar fat left, was not short of oil, stretched out her fingers to hook up the cotton yarn, and walked out of the kitchen with a sand basin in one hand to scoop water and wash it.

Why do you want to return the cotton yarn? It's very simple, the cotton yarn has to be bought with a cloth ticket.

"Shufang, what are you doing here?" Wang Chunling shouted, so frightened that Qi Shufang's hand shook, and the oil cotton yarn fell lightly to the sand basin where a scoop of water was scooped in, "Shufang, grab it quickly, don't fall into the water." ”

When Wang Chunling spoke, the oil cotton yarn was less than half a foot away from the water surface, it was too late, it was too fast, Qi Shufang reflexively reached out and grabbed the oil cotton yarn, she didn't understand the meaning of Wang Chunling's words, turned to look at the other party, and asked puzzledly: "Sister-in-law, I was going to wash the cotton yarn, what did you tell me to grab it?"

"Wash it up?" Wang Chunling was heartbroken and accused: "Shufang, you loser! Why are you so loser? There is so much oil on that gauze, how can you wash it?"

"Why don't you wash it? I need to return the cotton yarn. Besides, Jianguo and I plan to go to Shanghai for a few days, and we have important things to do, and we will be away from home for several days, and we won't need pancakes or cotton yarn. Qi Shufang is very aggrieved, the cotton yarn is not very clean, a little black, what's wrong with her love of cleanliness?

Wang Chunling's eyes widened, "You use this rubbing tweezers?"

"What can you do if you don't use it to wipe the tweezers?" Qi Shufang's eyes also widened, bigger than her eyes, who was afraid of whom?

Wang Chunling took two steps back, touching her head vigorously and stroking her chest to calm down.

"You...... You...... You're really angry with me! You still say that you're not a loser, I really haven't seen a loser like you! That's oil, I smell peanut oil, and I have no place to buy it if I have money, so you not only have to wash the oil off, but also say that it is used to wipe the tweezers? Why are your tweezers so happy?"

Qi Shufang was a little confused.

Is this not the way it should be? How can it become the blessing of the tweezers?

Stained with Qi Shufang's light, the family has a lot of good snacks, and the leftovers are enough to eat at night and tomorrow, Zhang Cuihua specially came to thank Qi Shufang, but when she heard the conversation between one big and one small, she couldn't help but smile: "Sister-in-law, Shufang is young, and she is not as knowledgeable as her sister-in-law, so she must have never used gauze, so she mistakenly thought it was an oil supporter, you can explain to her." ”

Qi Shufang understood now, sister-in-law was angry that the method she planned to use was wrong? However, "It's not oil and rely on the son, what is that for?" Good sister-in-law, tell me quickly. ”

Wang Chunling kept babbling, but she didn't answer.

Are you so angry? Could it be that you really committed a heinous crime by washing cotton yarn by yourself? Qi Shufang was depressed, and hurriedly looked at Zhang Cuihua as if asking for help, "Second sister-in-law......

"Good, good, good, I say, I say. "No one can refuse such a pair of big eyes, and Zhang Cuihua also wants to be good friends with this younger brother and sister, I didn't hear my son say that the third aunt is a good person, "The oil on the gauze is used for stir-frying, you don't say stir-frying, but you have to wash it off, do you think sister-in-law can be a pity?"

"Stir-fry?" How do you use it? She scoops a spoonful of oil into the pan for stir-frying.

Zhang Cuihua looked natural, "Yes, it's for stir-frying." Every household is short of oil and salt, and there are 300 days a year when they are stir-fried in clear water, do you know how precious your gauze is?"

Qi Shufang looked down at the oil cotton yarn and shook her head, forgiving her for not seeing how precious it was.

She suddenly felt blessed to her heart, "Second sister-in-law, before you go to the pot to stir-fry, won't you rub the pot with oil cotton yarn first? "Just rub it a few times, it's a little shiny, it's ...... This...... Can this be considered a stir-fry in oil?

"That's how it works! How many people don't want it, you're so wasteful. Wang Chunling's heartache has eased a little, "Shufang, you have to put away this gauze, you are not allowed to wash it, use it until it runs out of oil, the gauze itself has oil, and it will not be wasted when the oil is made." ”

Oiling?

Isn't it a can to take an oil jar with oil? If you don't have a jar, Qi Shufang has seen one or two Yin Shi families take a bamboo tube to make soy sauce and vinegar, how can cotton yarn also be oiled?

Qi Shufang was even more confused when she heard it, her stomach was full of questions, and she was busy asking how to use cotton yarn to make oil.

Before Wang Chunling and Zhang Cuihua could explain it to her, they saw He Jianguo coming back, so they stopped the topic and said in unison: "The founding of the country is here, let's get your job quickly, when will you go to Shanghai, say it, and see if there is anything you can bring us." I heard that Shanghai is lively, there are a lot of things, everything. ”

The two sisters-in-law turned around and went back to their own hall, Qi Shufang could only press the question, and directly held the oil cotton yarn and asked He Jianguo.

He Jianguo didn't know, he was working outside, and he had a supply of half a catty of oil a month, so he either took the jar to get oil, or directly handed over the oil ticket to the canteen, he really didn't use cotton yarn to make oil, and seeing his wife's face full of curiosity, he had to answer: "Wait until I go back and ask Brother Seven?" He remembered that the oil cotton yarn was given by Brother He Jianhua.

He Jianhua is also a member of the He Lou brigade, and He Jianguo is a cousin, he was a brother when he was in school, and after graduating from high school, he was assigned to work in a power plant in the county seat.

"Forget it, it's not worth asking. "Anyway, I don't need it, and if I really ask, I will definitely be laughed at.

He Jianguo discussed with her that the day after tomorrow would be set for the day after tomorrow.

The two discussed five days, spending two days on the way back and forth, three days in Shanghai, packing up the things that need to be brought, preparing the food on the way, planning the route, buying tickets on the same day, getting on the train on the same day, and going directly by train.

He Jianguo's classmates, sworn brothers, and elder brothers and sisters-in-law all knew that they were going to Shanghai, and the day before they left, they came to the door one after another.

He Jiandang directly opened the letter of introduction, asked Cui Jingdong to stamp it, sent it to He Jianguo, and gave him fifty yuan, "I remember that you said that there is an old Huaiguo in Shanghai, and many things don't need tickets, you look at buying something for our family, clothes, shoes, socks, towels and everything, anyway, what is useful to our family, you know best." ”

He Jianjun also sent fifty yuan, and said with a smile: "Third brother, you should answer the eldest brother, but don't forget your second brother and me." You see how many years your sister-in-law and children haven't had a single piece of clothing without patches, and you look to buy a few and come back. If you don't have enough money, you can put it on me first, and I'll make it up when I come back. ”

Zhang Cuihua found Qi Shufang in private, quietly stuffed twenty yuan to her, and whispered her request.

Old man He also took the opportunity of having lunch at his youngest son's house and stuffed a roll of money to his younger son, "You are still pulling the famine, this money is spent on your road, the poor are rich, don't treat yourself badly." ”

"Dad, Shufang and I have money, so I can't ask for you. ”

Although the money is earned by his wife, He Jianguo didn't feel that it couldn't be used, and he would just give it to his wife when he made money in the future.

"Take it! You have bought so many things during this time, what kind of money can you have? More than half of the money in my hand was sent to me by you when you went to work, and I have nowhere to spend it, who will I not give it to you?" Even if Old Man He has been a bowl of water all his life, he can't help but be kind to his youngest son and daughter-in-law now.

He Jianguo couldn't excuse himself several times, so he could only accept it.

Qi Shufang waited for her father-in-law to leave, and said privately: "Our family's money is enough to spend, don't touch your father, and return it to my father when I come back, just say that we didn't spend it." "She can't bear to spend the old man's money, it's gnawing at the old, it's not advisable.

"Shufang, you're so nice!"

In the afternoon, there were still people coming to please, everyone didn't have tickets, and there were tickets that couldn't be used in Shanghai, so they were all giving money, please He Jianguo and Qi Shufang looked at the purchase, of course it is worth being happy to be able to buy, if you can't buy it, you can't buy it, and the commissions are also varied, some want leather shoes, some want scarves, and some want colored quilts......

Qi Shufang was careful, and hurriedly made a list, on which the commissions and money of each family were recorded, and it was clear at a glance.
