Chapter 256: Stewed Chicken
Fate seemed to have played a big joke, and when Yang Xiaobei thought that he had changed, it just turned a corner, and then unswervingly ran away along the established track.
In the past, my father did not go to college, but went to study in a "college and technical secondary school", and when he was full of ambition to open a clinic after graduation, the village party secretary came to the door. Because the village school seriously lacked teachers, and my father was the most educated person in the village, he was targeted.
The major is not right, and my father is not here, of course, he flatly refuses. But Yi Zhishu is not so easy to give up, he took out the spirit of dog skin plaster, entangled closely, and persuaded his father with a bitter heart and a dead face. He is a cadre, and he is still a relative, and the situation at the school is really difficult, my father has no way to be entangled, and he can't bear the children without a teacher, so he finally agreed to go to the substitute teacher.
As a result, this was done for seven years. It wasn't until later that there was finally no shortage of teachers, and he immediately resigned and went to open a clinic and become a doctor according to his wishes. During this period, it was not without the opportunity to become a regular, his academic qualifications were enough, and his working hours were enough, but because he had no intention of this, he did not participate in the public teacher examination.
My dad majored as a doctor, and he has always been committed to wanting to be a good doctor, and there is nothing wrong with that. But this is the case with life, and then the policy changed abruptly, and all private clinics were shut down, regardless of qualifications. Later, when it was liberalized, because the threshold was too high and my father was old, he ended up working as a farmer.
At that time, my colleagues in the school gradually got the opportunity to become public teachers because they had been in rural primary schools for a long time. If at this time, the gap between private and public teachers was 1 and 2, then after the state greatly improved the treatment of teachers, the gap between colleagues with generous pensions and fathers without any income was already a world of difference.
What does this mean? There is no other explanation than fate. In this life, my father applied for the Normal University examination, and his previous consideration was that there was no tuition fee and a little subsidy - the family was still very poor at that time, and it was understandable for him to make this decision. But now, he is associating himself with the village school.
In the evening, I eat stewed chicken. The local yellow chicken, weighing only 3-5 pounds, but it takes a whole year to grow, there is no dead meat on the body, and you can go up the tree with a casual flutter of your wings, which is a rare delicacy.
Since my mother was pregnant, there has been this dish at home every once in a while. Locals believe that stewed chicken is the most replenishing, and when people with bodies and confinement, relatives have to catch chicken. Grandma caught several chickens early and raised them, plus the aunts, the eldest uncle's family, and the second uncle's family, and the result was that every time my father came back, she stewed a chicken. Grandma even hatched two litters of chicks in a row, and when the time came, my mother would be able to eat them when she was confined.
Yellow chicken is the name of the locals, this kind of chicken is not only yellow, white, black, reed chicken, it is all free-range, catch insects and eat to grow up, the meat is delicious and firm, chopped into small pieces, stir-fry in the oil pot, add ginger, garlic, pepper and other seasonings and then add water to stew, and then add potatoes, mushrooms, gourds and so on to make side dishes according to the different seasons. As soon as the chicken is stewed, the whole room is filled with a mouth-watering fragrance.
Dad was in high spirits, and he pulled Zhou Pinzheng to drink some wine. "Now we are all blessed by Tuo Huifen, and the standard of living can be described as improving steadily!" The young man who is married and has his own children is no longer as young as before, and has gradually become a steady, funny and good man. Coupled with the tempering in a higher education institution, it can be seen from the eyes of my mother that my father is handsome again.
It's good that there is no tiredness in the eyes of such a father, and there is no sadness in the depression! Yang Xiaobei grabbed a piece of her favorite chicken wings and said, "Sister Fen is the most eccentric!" I want to tell my mother-in-law (a name for my sister-in-law and brother-in-law's mother in my hometown, similar to my godmother) that you have eaten all the chickens she brought! ”
Yi Huifen was unhappy, "You two didn't eat?" You see, every time you eat chicken wings, you still don't know how to comb your hair? She admits that she waits for Qitai to come back every time before killing the chicken, but you eat it every time!
Zhou Pinzheng is the most chicken thief, he won't fight this kind of lawsuit, the chickens raised in the mountains are delicious, so rare that they don't let go of the slap, and there is kung fu to quarrel? Since eating the Yang family's chicken, every time he says that he will have a dinner, he will never pull it down, no, while eating it himself, he does not forget to put Xiaobei's favorite chicken wings and chicken gizzards into her bowl.
Yang Qitai watched them bickering with a smile, although it was very tiring to rush back every week, it was really nice to be able to see his wife and children, have a meal with his sister and brother-in-law, and enjoy his family life with Meimei. No matter how wonderful the city is outside, it is not my home. It is still this quiet mountain village that the familiar smell will make you relax and be satisfied.
"By the way, brother, do you have any plans after graduation?" Yang Xiaobei thought about it and asked. According to the virtue of Yi Zhishu, he must still be tempted to come to his father, so it is better to probe his mouth first.
Yang Qitai thought for a while and said, "I don't have any plans either, let's see the distribution when the time comes!" In principle, I still want to be closer to home, so that it is easier to go home. "He never thought about going to a big city, and as an otaku who is not good at getting used to a new environment, it is better to live in his hometown, in a familiar place.
In this case...... The village is even closer! Yang Xiaobei thought about it, she looked at her mother, I don't know if she will explode when she talks about this matter?
"What do you think I'm doing? I see you have something to say all the time at night. Yi Huifen is very familiar with Xiaobei, and it is rare for her to be so embarrassed, except when she was just found out to be pregnant...... Maybe I was too nervous! Nothing lately either, right! In the afternoon, Uncle Xiao went to find Xiaobei, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the school?" ”
I have to say that my mother is very sensitive. Since they all asked, she simply told the truth, "There is no teacher in the school, and Yi Zhishu has already made several trips, saying that there is no teacher to transfer over." After a pause, he added, "Then he asked when he would graduate." ”
"What?" Yi Huifen is not stupid, and she immediately understands what is going on. "Uncle, is he getting old and dizzy? Qitai is a college student! He also wants Qitai to teach elementary school, isn't this a humble person? The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and her little face turned red with anger.
"Don't get excited, what are you yelling about?" Yang Qitai hurriedly appeased his wife. He didn't think it was anything, there was a lack of teachers in the village, and he was a future teacher, so it was normal for people to ask. However, as a person concerned, he could not understand the importance and expectations of his relatives as a college student, and no matter what the reason, no one would think that the college students who had worked so hard would eventually return to the village to teach.
