Chapter 121 Chasing the Wind and Shadows
But when he said that during the New Year, Ergou did not return to his hometown and stayed in Xingzhou. Actually, it's not that Ergou doesn't want to go back, but Xiao Zhang, who is with him, is too far away from his hometown, so he pulls Ergou to stay together.
This little Zhang is a little smaller than Ergou, and he is a little more playful. Boss Ma saw that Ergou and Xiao Zhang had not returned to their hometown, and out of concern and pity, he asked these two young men to go to his house for a meal on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
Boss Ma's family lives in the suburbs of Xingzhou, and they also belong to the kind of family that is also a worker and a farmer. Ma's house is a courtyard wall made of bricks, and the head of the wall is a brick cross-shaped space. The courtyard gate of the Ma family is quite large, and you can drive the car directly in.
The exterior walls of the two-storey flat-roofed building are covered with small strip-shaped tiles, and the windows and doors are all in the style of the upper arch and lower arches, and some Muslim decorations can occasionally be seen. However, this Ma boss is not a Muslim, but a pure Han Chinese.
The engineering team stopped work on the 25th of the lunar month, and they all went home one after another, leaving Ergou and Xiao Zhang, and the construction site was deserted. The master is a good man, and when he left, he bought some vegetables, meat and noodles. Ergou and Xiao Zhang also bought a few packs of good cigarettes, two bottles of wine, and firecrackers or something. I finally rested, and I slept well for two days and slept lazily for two days.
In the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, snowflakes fell early in the morning in Xingzhou, and the northwest wind whined. Ergou and Xiao Zhang were too lazy to make the stove in the room, so they brought some shavings and broken wood residues, and made noodles to eat on the fire. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the two young men still eat noodles. Although there are a lot of meat slices in the noodles, after all, they are not dumplings, and there are no stir-fried vegetables, Ergou can't help but feel a little uncomfortable, and regrets not going to the eldest brother for the New Year.
On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Ergou and Xiao Zhang brought cigarettes and alcohol and came to Boss Ma's house. During the Chinese New Year, the arrival of the two young men naturally added a bit of festive atmosphere to the Ma family. The wife of the Ma family asked Ergou and Xiao Zhang this and that from time to time, which made these two young men who did not go home for the New Year feel a trace of warmth.
During the meal, Ergou and Xiao Zhang toasted one by one "boss". Boss Ma was happy, he only cared about the past and future of his engineering team, and asked young people to work hard with him, and he would not treat those who could do the work badly.
Boss Ma said that the public is under large-scale construction, and the engineering team still has a great future, but at present, there is a shortage of talents, design talents, and construction talents who can do meticulous work. Boss Ma also said that in the future, the requirements of customers will be higher and higher, and the competition between the engineering teams will become more and more fierce.
As for Ergou and Xiao Zhang? I rarely listen to the boss talk about these heartfelt words, and I feel that the boss has a far-sighted vision, and keeps saying compliments. Boss Ma's politeness made the two young men who stayed in another country for the New Year feel warm in their hearts, and the relationship with the boss seemed to be much closer.
There are many women and few men in this Ma family, and there is usually only one man in the Ma family. During the Chinese New Year, two young men came to the house at once, laughing and laughing, and it was very lively. After eating, Xiao Zhang went to play in the courtyard, and the two dogs cleaned up the dinner table and chopsticks. This point made the careful wife of the Ma family see it in her eyes.
This little piece has a lot of ideas, and I also like to play, and during the Spring Festival, I took the two dogs to wander around in Xingzhou, turned around the big store, and went to the park to play. After all, Xingzhou is a big city, for the two country children, it is still a little fresh, the two young men have no one to care, and they are very comfortable. It's just that I don't have much money in my pocket, at most I eat some snacks, and I don't buy anything. And when you return to the shed, you may not feel much more comfortable if you are lonely and helpless.
The words are divided into two ends. said that after Lao Ding left, Ding's wife took the children to live at home. In her spare time, the wife of the Ding family sometimes thinks of her man's explanation before leaving. The wife of the Ding family thought that Ergou was indeed not crooked, and she liked it too, and her three daughters must want the eldest daughter to recruit them;
As for the matter of Ergou and Boss Ma that Xiao Wang came back to talk about, the Ding family's wife didn't believe it was true, because in just half a year, it couldn't be so fast, and most of them were joked by others. So, the wife of the Ding family was not in a hurry to find Aunt Ergou.
On this day, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the wife of the Ding family came back from her relatives and happened to slap Xiao Wang at the entrance of the village. Ding's wife asked, "Hey, who is that, you haven't left yet?" Xiao Wang smiled and asked, "Leave relatives?" "Hmm." You haven't left yet?" "Ah, it's not easy to come back once, stop for two more days, and leave tomorrow." ”
"What's going on there?" "Oh, it's okay, it's okay, there's a lot of work." "Oh, I knew I would let him go. "Your old man doesn't want to go, it's too far. "Ah, that is. ”
Ding's wife asked again, "Hey, I heard that Ergou is also there?" "Well, people are too far away and haven't come back." What?" "It's nothing. Ergou dares to get along with the boss's daughter?" "Hehe, just kidding, but it's possible. ”
"It's okay for you to joke together, don't dare to talk nonsense when you come back, so that the people in the second dog house can hear it, that's not good. "Haha, it's okay, it's all gossip, are you serious?!" "Don't that idleness,." "Haha. In this way, the wife of the Ding family and Xiao Wang said a few words, and then went home.
On the second day of the second lunar month, the wife of the Ding family, as in previous years, made scrambled eggs for the children to eat. This scrambled egg is a noodle snack in the Persimmon Bay area after February 2.
It's not complicated to make scrambled eggs. First go to the edge of the high cliff and dig up some Lu soil, and use a sieve to remove the knots inside. Lu soil is the kind of soil that is red in color in loess, and it is often mixed with material knots. This kind of soil has a natural waterproof effect, and when it rains, the surface is extremely slippery. The excavated soil is passed through a sieve to remove the knots inside.
The first night you will make some noodles, and the next day you will put a little salt and crushed pepper leaves on the wheat flour, or you can mix some sorghum flour or cornmeal, mix it with water, and make it into round strips with the thickness of your fingers, and cut them into eggs the size of your fingers with a hob.
Then, pour the clay into a large iron pot and boil it, and when the clay in the pot is white and bubbling, pour the noodles into the pot and turn them over while burning until the noodles are cooked in the soil.
Finally, take the scrambled eggs out of the soil, put them in a sack made of hair, and clean the soil on the scrambled eggs. Scrambled eggs are fragrant and crispy, and adults and children alike enjoy eating them.
On the tenth day of the first month of February, Qingxi gathers. It is also a coincidence that the book is not written, and the wife of the Ding family fell in love with Aunt Ergou, that is, Tao'er. Tao'er and Ding's wife also know each other, and when Ergou learned to be a painter with Ding's lacquermaker, Tao'er also passed by Ding's house a few times.
The wife of the Ding family stepped forward and said, "Aunt Ergou." Tao'er turned her face and said, "Hey, it's you, his aunt, I haven't seen you for a long time." "Isn't it, are you all right?" "Ah, okay, you're all right." "Well, it's all right. Hey, let's go over there and say a few words. "Well, it works. The two men came out of the crowd and sat down in a less crowded area next to them.
"His aunt, tell you, the second dog needs to be protected by the passport. "Oh, what are you talking about?" "I heard that the boss over there seems to be ...... to Ergou" "What's the matter, you just say it, it's okay." ”
"Let's put it this way, the three daughters of Boss Ma are no boys. "Oh. "I heard that the daughter of the boss of the horse has taken a fancy to our second dog. "Is it the eldest daughter or the second daughter?" "Oh, I can't tell if it's the eldest or the second." Anyway, I think it's ......"
"No wonder the thief didn't come back during the New Year. "That's it. The baby probably thinks that the house is deserted, and when people give it a little bit of that, they feel ......" "Alas, I know." ”
In this way, the two said a few words, and then they separated. Tao'er was very unhappy that her little nephew didn't come back for the New Year, but after listening to Ding Lacquerer's words, she became more angry in her heart. So, he went to the county seat in a hurry to find the black egg.
Black Egg is Peach's eldest son. Although Peach is Sheva's younger sister, she started a family several years earlier than Sheva. Tao'er had four children, two sons and two daughters. The eldest is a daughter, the second is a boy, the third is still a boy, and the youngest is a daughter. This black egg is the second and eldest son of the Tao'er family.
This black egg belongs to the tiger, and the year he graduated from junior high school, he happened to meet and smash the "Gang of Four". So, after two more years of high school (at that time, junior high school and high school were both two-year years), he took the college entrance examination.
Although Heidan's college entrance examination score is not high, it is not bad for an ordinary rural middle school, he took a technical secondary school exam and was admitted to the public security school.
Black Egg has a good physique, 1.75 meters tall, likes sports activities, but was born with a peaceful personality, no quarrel with the world, and the two-year secondary school soon graduated normally.
After graduation, Hei Dan was assigned to work in the county public security bureau, and the old police officers paid great attention to the new students and gave them the opportunity to fully exercise. However, after the "strike hard" campaign, the public order situation has noticeably improved, and on the whole it is very stable, and there are not many opportunities for cadres and policemen to display their talents.
Later, some college students were assigned to the public security bureau one after another. As a result, secondary school students like Hei Dan gradually fell into obscurity, and most of them were just working on the front line.
Fortunately, Hei Dan has a kind and indisputable character, and he will not pose a big threat to the promotion of others, and he is not squeezed by new college students, and he is calmly doing specific things on the front line.
Heaven does not always favor those who are competitive. The most basic is often the most simple. In the front-line work, Heidan has also made a lot of good friends, especially with those old police officers and secondary school students.
After work, from time to time to "carry stones" together for a small get-together, it can be regarded as self-enjoyment. In this regard, the wife of the black egg has quite an opinion, saying that the black egg is unproductive and content with the status quo or something. But the nature of the black egg is difficult to change, take care of my own way, be enthusiastic about others, and have no quarrel with the world.
Again. Now that the old mother can run from the countryside, it is naturally a big deal. Hei Dan didn't say a word, and wrote a long letter to his cousin Gouwa who was far away in the provincial capital that night, and sent it the next day.
In fact, by this time, communication was already more convenient, and even long-distance phone calls were much more convenient than writing letters. As soon as the phone is called, you can say whatever you want, but it takes a week or two for a letter to be sent from Fenwan to the provincial capital.
However, there are also advantages to writing letters, and some words are not easy to say on the phone, but it is much more convenient in the letter. Moreover, the letter is written after thinking about it, and it can explain things completely and accurately.
As for what the dog baby will do when she sees her cousin's letter, it is not known for the time being.
