"What? Looking for my daughter-in-law? She hasn't come back from work in the county yet. She and my son lived in the dormitory of the unit and did not come back. Mother Xu looked at everyone with a wary face, "What are you looking for her? Or did she make some mistake outside? I know that this mother-in-law is not a safe person! She has only been married to our family for a few days, and before the eggs have been laid, she will cause trouble at home! Let me tell you, if this mother-in-law really causes trouble outside, you can just go to the cotton gin factory to arrest her, and it has nothing to do with our family! Don't want to drag down my son!"

"Auntie, let's ask her about something, since she is not there, then I have to bother you to find a few words written by her to show me. The county party committee cadre said.

Mother Xu just wanted to send away these unkind people as soon as possible, and when she heard this, she didn't say a word and found a book from the room that Liu Jihong often read, with her name on the title page.

"That's it!" exclaimed the postman excitedly.

"Let's go! Go to the cotton gin factory and ask clearly!" With a wave of his hand, the cadres of the county party committee rushed back to the county seat with a group of people from the post office.

Before leaving, he held Xiao Sanye's hand and said that he promised repeatedly: he would definitely find out the matter.

"What's the use of finding out?" Jiang Xinrou said angrily when she heard her husband come back, "Liu Jihong insisted on forgetting it, and it happened to be busy with farming again, she and Xu Jiankun lived in the dormitory of the unit, and they couldn't go back to Jiangbei." Use this as an excuse, even if we all know in our hearts that she did it on purpose, we can't take her seriously. ”

But with such a flaw, the ginners will definitely remove her from running for mid-level cadres. Xiao Sanye said quietly.

Jiang Xinrou was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "That's right, the package list that I took the initiative to promise to carry can be forgotten, which shows that my work ability really needs to be improved." If even such a person can be selected as a cadre, then the middle level of the cotton gin factory will be too disappointing!"

Xiao Sanye hooked his lips and smiled: "Get up early tomorrow and go up the mountain, catch some game and go to the county to see a few friends." ”

"Bring some kelp and shrimp skin. Jiang Xinrou comprehended, "I took a look, the kelp is salty, the seaweed and shrimp skin are dry, although it has been stuffy for a few days, but fortunately, it is not bad, such a big bag, even if it is divided into half to Qunyingzhai, we can't eat it." ”

"If you can't finish eating, eat slowly, and don't you have relatives and friends. "This one is half a catty, and that one gives a few taels, and there is not much left.

"That's right. Last time, her son-in-law and her second aunt drank a bowl of seaweed and shrimp skin soup, and said that the consignment point should be sold, and she was allowed to buy it. I'll give her some tomorrow. If you want to eat moss, I heard from my sister-in-law, it is very fragrant to mix with fried peanuts, why don't you try it in a hurry?"

"Well, you and the good girl can do it. Xiao Sanye got up as he spoke, stretched his waist, and urged his daughter-in-law to go to bed early: "It's hot, I'll go up the mountain early tomorrow, and go to bed early today." ”

"Done. Jiang Xinrou quickly folded the clothes she would wear tomorrow, dusted them with a big fan, and put down the mosquito net.

In a few minutes—

"Oh, he's dead, didn't you say go to bed early......?

"Isn't this just sleeping?"

Xiao Sanye's low smile was hidden in the creak of the bed.

“……”

Early the next morning, Xiao Sanye went up the mountain single-handedly.

Unfortunately, the herd of bison was only encountered once, and then the forest returned to its former tranquility, and with good luck, it was only to catch some pheasants and hares on the way back.

However, he found a bag of miscellaneous fish in the hidden pool that he told his second uncle, which was not big, at most three fingers wide, and if he fried it, it would take five or six to fit a plate.

But at least it's also a dish.

When I got home, I put the fish in the water tank, a nest of hares and three pheasants, stuffed them into a bamboo basket, and carried them to the county seat.

The director of the cotton gin mill was the brother-in-law of his little fan.

After drinking the wedding wine of Xiang Jiu and Yanzi, he was invited by his fan brother to the county seat to drink a string of wine and met a few friends.

At that time, the little fan brother said, "If you have a useful place, just look for us", and he still sneered and thought: Who is Lao Tzu?

Unexpectedly, this day came so soon. The old face hurts slightly.

Xiao Sanye went to the county with game, and Jiang Xinrou led her daughter to divide the "fruits" at home-

"Dried razor clams, scallops, kelp, moss, seaweed, shrimp skin...... The dry goods sent this time, except for the dried razor clams and conpoy that add up to less than half a catty, are sent to us by name, and the rest are exchanged for food stamps, which are a lot of portions, half of them are sent back to the mountain, and add meals to them, and the rest is divided into three, one for us to keep for ourselves and eat slowly, one for your master, senior brother and swallows, and one for your second aunt, secretary, and president, do you see if there is anything missing?"

Yingfang thought it was reasonable, so she put it in the basket and back basket according to what her mother said.

"By the way, Mom, Shuangying's sister-in-law said in the letter that if you can't finish the shrimp skin soup, it will be dried thoroughly and ground into powder as a seasoning to improve freshness. ”

"Huh, that's a good idea!" Jiang Xinrou was interested, took out a large handful of shrimp skin, spread it evenly on the rice sieve, and exposed it to the sun.

Half a day in the sun is much drier than before, take a small stone mortar to grind into powder, at noon stir-fry, sprinkle a little as a seasoning, vegan fried gourd, actually eat the seafood flavor.

Jiang Xinrou and Sister-in-law Fu's eyes were shining, and they hurriedly asked Yingfang to write it down: "When you redeem seafood next time, remember to redeem more shrimp." ”

"Good. Ying Fang smiled and agreed.

By the way, I also taught the master and the mother, Aunt Deng, and Aunt Xiang.

Aunt Deng is worried about the eldest daughter and fat grandson who married into the commune next door, but now that the farm is busy, how can I have time to see them during the day. Even if she squeezed out the time, the commune next door was also in full swing, and her in-laws had no time to entertain her.

So after finishing work, he didn't care about cooking, so he packed the seafood sent by Yingfang, including the shrimp skin flour that was ground into seasoning, in the baggage for a knot, and went to his daughter's house first.

I didn't say a word of gossip, I just said that I asked someone to bring food from the seaside, and it was easy to get dehydrated when I sweated on a hot day. After saying that, she hurried back, and the family was still waiting for her to cook.

The Fang family looked at their mother-in-law who came and went in a hurry, and then looked at the burden spread out on the table, and sighed for a while: "This is really food? ”

Aunt Deng's daughter, Xiang Chuntao, has always listened to her mother's words: "My mother said so, it must not be wrong." And it sounds very simple, you can boil the water and make the soup, why don't you try it at night? Isn't the mother afraid of gruel and easy to get hungry, and the two days have been cooking sweet potato and multigrain rice? Exactly, this should be served with soup. ”

Chun Tao quickly broke a piece of seaweed, grabbed a handful of shrimp skin, put it in a big bowl, according to what her mother said, sprinkled a few grains of salt, waited for the water in the pot to boil, scooped a spoonful of gourd and rushed to the big bowl.
