62 cents (three watches)
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Gu Village fryed again.
The village chief first told Lu Sancai and the others on the radio about buying the riverbed and how much it was sold. How to divide this money and how to spend it. It is distributed according to the household registration book, no matter how many people there are in the family, it is divided into 100 yuan per family.
The village chief took the secretary, took the teacher Xiaolu, carried the money, carried the notebook and the pen, and divided the money one by one. There are 167 households in the village, and each family is divided into 100 yuan. There has never been such a good thing. Now it happened in Lingu Village, and it happened in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Which one is not happy?
For 100 yuan, you can buy 50 catties of pork. This year, the pig merchants who came to collect the pigs gave cheap prices, and the pig farmers in Lingu Village were not willing to sell. Even the people who make bacon this year are much less than last year.
However, now the 100 yuan given by the village chief to each family is equivalent to 50 catties of fresh pork and more than 30 catties of bacon. All year round, every family relies on this bacon to satisfy their hunger.
And when the village chief finished dividing the money, everyone heard another gossip.
Lu Qiang, a pet/female/mad/demon, is a loser again. He bought five small riverbeds that resembled small islands near the Xijiang River, and signed the contract with the name of Shanglu Qinghe. It is said that it was bought to give to Lu Qinghe to marry his son-in-law as a dowry, what is the use of buying it in that place except for digging sand?
"I really don't know what Cuong is thinking in his head? Tell me, first buy a bunch of broken houses to earn merit, saying that it can prolong life; Later, there were hundreds of rice to make hundreds of meals, and now they even bought the barren riverbed to play. It's really a loser, I think Ah Qiang, spoiling Lu Qinghe's daughter, it's really too much. ”
"Who says it's not, who will treat their daughter as a treasure? is a person like Xiaoqiang, who spoils a daughter better than other people's sons. Buying a riverbed to play, I don't think Xiaoqiang's brain is in the water, but he raises fish. ”
"What merit do you earn? The short life calculated by the god operator, I see how Lu Qiang gets it, and Lu Qinghe's child doesn't live long. ”
"Lu Qiang is really, he doesn't even listen to his parents. I heard that yesterday he invited Lu Sancai and the others to have more than a dozen big dishes at the 'VIP table' at home, and the table couldn't be placed. Tsk, that's a lot of money. The money was spent like it fell from the sky. ”
"Make fart money, do you dare to borrow money from the village chief when you make money? I think it's all pretended, and there are more than a dozen big dishes. I think it's good to have meat. ”
"Don't be sour, if it weren't for the third brother Lu and them to buy the riverbed, where would we get the money for the New Year? I think this is very good, Lu Qiang has the money to buy the riverbed, and the money has to be ours. ”
"How do you talk as if they don't pay for themselves. Do you think it's easy for them all these years? Others made some money, and all of them were lent to Lu Qiang. They have been working for more than ten years, and it is not easy to buy a second-hand sand dredging boat with a little money. Don't talk about those who don't. ”
What is said outside, how to spread his own gossip, Lu Qiang has no time to pay attention.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it was his family's turn, and he went to the village chief in the morning to sign the contract and was busy killing chickens and ducks. Zhang Yimei was so angry that she had a stomachache and lay on the bed because he bought a riverbed for Qinghe.
"Baozhi, you take the chickens and ducks to the well and clean the feathers." Lu Qiang neatly killed the chicken, killed the duck and left the duck blood, and the duck blood can't make it freeze when making a blood duck. The chopsticks kept stirring in the bowl for more than ten minutes before they stopped.
Seeing that the second daughter was cleaning, Lu Qiang pulled Lu Qinghe to the stove and made dumplings. Speaking of dumplings, Lu Qinghe thought of a joke about himself in his previous life.
At that time, she was admitted to the normal school and went out to eat for the first time with her classmates. I went to a dumpling restaurant opened by a northerner, and others made it freshly. Noodles to catch dumpling skins, Lu Qinghe asked idiotically, how could the dumplings be like this, and they still look like ingots? When the dumplings were served on the table again, the two classmates ate them in two ways.
One eats dumplings with sticky vinegar, the other eats dumplings sticky chili sauce, and she is the only one who eats it with soup.
No way, in Lu Qinghe's memory, the dumpling skin here is very simple, or square, and the machine made it. It is wrapped in flavored pure pork, or occasionally with red dates or raisins inside. It is not boiled directly, but must be fried in oil before the soup is added.
Even if you put soup in it, you can only eat it as a dish, not as a meal. Mainly, the dumplings they have here are boxy. So seeing dumplings like ingots, Lu Qinghe is very novel.
"Qinghe, do you want to eat? Do you like to eat with red dates or raisins? While making dumplings, Lu Qiang looked at the pot on the stove, and the oil in the pot began to bubble, so he put the wrapped dumplings into the pot one by one. Don't forget to give Qinghe a few and put them aside to cool before eating.
"It's delicious, Dad, I'm going to eat raisins, add a few more." There is sweetness in the meat, and Lu Qinghe has not tasted it for many, many years. Especially when my father made it himself, it was quite rare.
After Lu Meizhi finished washing the dishes, he also came around, but he didn't dare to say that he wanted to eat. The mouth swallowed saliva several times, but I saw that my father left it for Xiaosi, but he didn't say that he wanted to let him eat, and he was a little sad in his heart, Dad was really the most eccentric to Xiaosi.
"Third sister, you can taste it too, it's delicious." Lu Qinghe saw the third sister coming, and saw her stretching out her hand to roast far away by the stove, holding a fried dumpling with chopsticks, and blowing it before sending it to the third sister's mouth. I don't know if it's her own illusion, but for a moment, she seemed to see the jealousy in the eyes of the third sister.
But when he saw the third sister devouring the dumplings with satisfaction and praising the deliciousness, Lu Qinghe confirmed that he was really thinking too much, turned around again, and put one in the mouth of the second sister who was busy.
"Qinghe eats by himself, your sisters don't have time to eat, you eat more. It's going to be a few hours before dinner, so you eat more first. After a while, you feel greasy, and you go and drink some more drinks to press it. "The oil in the pot is boiling, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and Lu Qiang needs to concentrate more on frying.
also ignored the eyes of the third daughter when she saw the river.
"Meizhi, you go and take care of Qinghe and help her pour a drink. Don't let her bump into it, I don't need you here. ”
"Oh." Lu Meizhi followed behind Xiao Si and saw Xiao Si opening the cap of the drink bottle with difficulty, and he didn't mean to help.
However, the second sister came over and helped Xiaosi open the bottle, pour a cup, and pour hot water with her faceplate. took the cup full of drinks and put it on the face plate and scalded it, it didn't feel so cold, and then it was sent to Xiao Si: "Xiao Si, drink it, this will not be cold." ”
"Thank you, second sister, third sister." Lu Qinghe felt that the third sister should be tired in the past few days.
After the fourth child ran to the kitchen to watch his father again, the second sister said to Lu Meizhi: "Meizhi, what happened to you just now?" Seeing that Xiao Si can't prescribe a drink, you won't help? ”
"I can't open it either." Lu Meizhi felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and lied. said a little awkwardly: "Why do you all only like Xiaosi?" ”
"What did you say?" The second sister glared at the third sister.
"Nothing, I'm busy." Lu Yunzhi shook his head, when did the third sister start to have this idea again?
