As soon as Jiang Xinyong and Song Zi'an left, Township Chief Xia came. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He took two of his subordinates, put his posture very low as soon as he entered the house, and said to Grandpa Song: "Two old men, aren't you going to leave this afternoon, do you have anything to clean up, and leave the manual work to us." ”
Although Grandpa Song is an intellectual, he is not a person who is not familiar with the world, and after he thanked him, he said: "We don't have anything to move here, and the clothes have been packed." It's just these rations that were newly distributed a few years ago, and the distance is too far, and it's too troublesome to bring them back......"
Hearing this, Township Chief Xia already understood, he was originally a favor, and immediately said: "I'll help you deal with the grain, is it okay to convert it into money according to the price of first-class grain?"
Grandpa Song mentioned it, he really didn't expect Township Chief Xia to be so happy, he wanted to beg people to go to the grain store in the county to sell it: "Then I really want to thank you! ”
Township Chief Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything against the rules." He turned around and instructed the people behind him, "Go to the village to borrow a scale and count the grain here." ”
Grandma Song greeted Zhao Dabiao and Er Biao, who came to help, and asked them to move all the firewood in the shed back to their homes. He also handed over a white chicken, a carp and the remaining small half bag of rice to Da Biao who was preparing for the festival but didn't have time to eat because of Grandpa Song's illness, and asked him to take it home to his mother.
Song Yiyi let her grandfather and grandmother take care of these chores, she chopped the stuffing and noodles by herself, and used all the five catties of meat and a small bag of six or seven catties of white noodles that Jiang Xinyong bought in the township. She calculated that in addition to her own family, even if she added the three Township Chief Xia and Zhao Dabiao's family who came to help, these dumplings should be enough to eat.
Near noon, Song Yiyi cooked two large pots of dumplings first, and beckoned her grandfather, grandmother and Township Chief Xia to come over for lunch.
Township Chief Xia first used his own money to advance the money from the two old people selling rations, and felt that he had made a successful trip and it was time to leave, but he was sincerely retained by Grandpa Song and invited them to have lunch together.
Township Chief Xia was originally just out of courtesy, thinking that it would take him to sit down and take people away after eating a few dumplings, but after eating the first dumpling, he was out of control and ate all the dumplings on his previous plate. He wiped his oily mouth, a little embarrassed: "Old man, your granddaughter's craftsmanship is so good, this dumpling is incomparable!"
Grandpa Song didn't eat less, he also ate a plate of dumplings, and he recognized Township Chief Xia's words very much, but he was modest: "Generally, she just put more meat and used white noodles." ”
Township Chief Xia immediately shook his head: "During the Chinese New Year, my family also had a luxury, white-flour dumplings with meat filling, which are really not as delicious as your family!"
Grandpa Song proudly sent away the three of Xia Township Chief, and when he returned to the house, he heard his wife say: "Yiyiha, don't put so much meat in the dumplings in the future, do you put the newly bought five catties of meat, these meats can be eaten by other people's families for two or three months!"
Grandpa Song's heart was a little sour, his wife was a rich lady when she was young, and when she first got married, the couple often went to the restaurant. has been sent to the countryside for transformation over the years, she has really been wronged, she can't eat well, she can't wear good clothes, and she even has to calculate eating some meat!
Song Yiyi looked at her grandmother with a distressed face, and she only felt that the person who was full of scholarly smell suddenly became grounded, which made her cry and laugh a little: "Grandma, this is because it is inconvenient to take away these meat and white noodles, so I simply made it." When I get home, I won't be so wasteful. ”
She saw that her grandmother was quite satisfied with her answer, so she continued: "I'll cook some more dumplings and give some to Zhao Dabiao's family, or I won't be able to eat them." ”
Grandpa recalled the delicious dumplings that he hadn't eaten for many years, and was a little reluctant: "Yiyi, take more, we can eat on the road." Look at it, there were six of us just now, and we ate six plates of dumplings, which is really enough. If you save half of it, you can eat more!"
Song Yiyi expressed deep sympathy for these two old people, if it weren't for this special era, they should have lived a comfortable life of drinking tea, appreciating flowers, reading books, and playing games: "Grandpa, let's eat all the dumplings." When we arrived in the capital, we went to eat roast duck. ”
Song Yiyi's grandfather and grandmother all looked at her with bright eyes, with faint memories in anticipation.
By the time Song Yiyi had cooked a pot of dumplings, Zhao Dabiao and Er Biao had already transported all the firewood, and this time they were pushing a cart borrowed from the village to transport wooden boxes and quilts for clothes.
Song Yiyi put the dumplings in two enamel basins with lids and placed them under the quilt on the car.
Grandma ran a few steps closely, and shouted at the door to the two people who were leaving the cart: "The basin doesn't have to be returned." When we're gone, you come back and see what you have at home, and take it all!"
Zhao Dabiao turned around and responded: "Got it!", and then continued to push the cart with Er Biao.
After noon, Jiang Xinyong, Song Zi'an and Bai Feng returned to Nanhou Village. They got out of the car at the entrance of the village, and the three of them walked back.
Now is the winter leisure period, the New Year has not yet ended, the villagers are seizing the time to enjoy this time without work, oil and water is still the most happy time of the year.
In northern China, the weather began to warm up, and the ice on the river began to melt.
Several seven or eight-year-old children were chasing and frolicking in the village, and one of them was singing the song of 99 that everyone would know: 1929 don't make a move, 3949 walk on the ice, 5969 along the river to see the willows, 79 river open 89 geese, 99 plus 19, ploughing cattle everywhere.
Some adults who had eaten lunch walked out of the house to walk outside and chat, and when they saw these three wonderful young men, they couldn't help but take a second look.
One of the aunts, who has a school-age daughter, is very optimistic about these three young people with good appearance and temperament, and wants to come forward to get acquainted with each other, and then find an opportunity to invite her to the house to create opportunities for her daughter, but she was hesitating, and the three of them had already walked in front of her. She was dragged away by the people next to her to play cards, and she was very sorry.
Pushing open the fence door, Song Zi'an immediately shouted: "Grandpa, grandma, Yiyi, we are back." ”
In the house, Song Yiyi had just finished telling her grandfather and grandmother what had happened to her father during this time.
Grandma was very angry: "Such a person is so hateful, how can he harm Zemin like this!"
Grandpa's focus was obviously different, he frowned and asked, "That woman was just arrested, and the final result has not yet been determined?" Xiao Changqing went home to ask for help, but she hasn't come back yet?"
