9. It's really kind
Start your day off in the morning. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
After cleaning up the dishes on the last table, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning.
The rising sun emits a soft ray.
Da Zhuang sat under the old locust tree, blowing the wind and humming a little tune, so he was not at ease.
"I said, how many days does your unit have a few days off? It's been three or four days since I came back, and I don't see you any intention of going back. At this moment, my mother came out of the courtyard.
"Well, what, this is the welfare of our unit, give us a few more days off, and spend more time with my parents at home......" Da Zhuang said vaguely.
Lying and not typing a draft is just a bit jerky, and it doesn't sound very natural.
"No, there are no benefits for so many days off, this is not the New Year's holiday, Da Zhuang, you tell me the truth, what is going on?" The more my mother thought about it, the more wrong it became, and her face immediately pulled down.
Da Zhuang smiled.
Interpretation? How can this be explained, did you just tell your mother that you quit your job? Don't have any reason and don't have any plans for resigning?
You must know that my mother and my wife regard their work very seriously, and if they really tell the truth, they may not be in a hurry.
But don't talk about it...... Da Zhuang hesitated.
This is mainly to blame for my predecessor, resign and resign, why do you have to run home? It's okay to come back and stay for a few days, but after a long time, it's easy to show your stuffing.
Just as he was pondering how to deal with the past, the phone in his pocket rang, and it was his landlord calling.
"Hey!" Da Zhuang hurriedly got up, deliberately walked over and whispered.
"Gu Bai, I went to your place yesterday, are you not at home? Well, it's nothing, don't you still have an empty room, I'm idle and idle, it's a waste, I'll rent it out, people will move over tomorrow afternoon, you can clean up when you have time, don't mess up......"
The landlord is a man, in his forties, quite easy-going.
usually takes good care of Gu Bai, but he is a little bit of a money fan. The house rented by Gu Bai is a two-bedroom apartment, and he has always shared it with a buddy, but not long ago, the buddy was going back to his hometown to visit relatives, saying that he didn't plan to come back, so he vacated a room.
When Gu Bai heard the landlord say this, he immediately became a little anxious.
"New tenants? Uncle Liu, look at it, I've been back to my hometown in the past few days, and I'm not in Bohai City, so if I move here tomorrow afternoon, I won't be able to go back......"
Gu Bai was also anxious, there were still some things of his own in that house, he thought that no one would go back to his hometown for a few days, so he simply planned to clean up when he returned to Bohai, but the result was ......
It's really that people are not as good as the sky, and the sky is not as good as the landlord.
It only took a long time for Uncle Liu to find a new tenant.
"Not in Bohai? So when are you coming back? I've signed a contract here, people are coming over tomorrow, I'm in a hurry, I can't continue to delay, so let's get back as soon as possible! ”
After a few more words, the phone hung up.
When he turned around, his mother was still staring at Da Zhuang from behind.
grinning, he shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said: "I really can't help but chatter, you come here and ask, there is something going on in our unit, alas, I'll leave tomorrow, don't worry about it this time?" ”
The old mother glanced at her suspiciously: "Okay, I'll prepare some of our local specialties for you in the afternoon, and you can give some to your colleagues in the unit!" ”
"Don't, our specialty is nothing more than walnuts and hazelnuts, and people are not rare, so don't bring them, it's quite heavy." Gu Bai hurriedly shook his head.
"Don't talk nonsense, let you bring it, where can the young man sink if he carries something?"
The old mother turned around and went back to the courtyard, leaving only Da Zhuang with a wry smile and the lonely old locust tree.
********
In the afternoon, Da Zhuang didn't go to the Internet café, yesterday he spent three hours writing two chapters, yesterday he sent one chapter, and today he sent one chapter on a regular basis.
Although he was full of expectations for the results of the novel, what had become of him.
Will the number of clicks increase, will there be more favorites, and will anyone vote for the recommendation, but ...... He just couldn't leave.
Take out the 'Da Zhuang brand barbecue sauce' that I made yesterday with most of the house.
Comrade Lao Gu held his hands behind his back, the old god was studying carefully, and his mother also looked dignified.
In her knowledge, the skewers have always been sprinkled with salty and salty noodles, sprinkled with chili noodles, and the fat in the meat is grilled, and that's it.
I've never heard of a sauce for skewers.
This is not to blame her, in Gu Bai's memory, this world really does not seem to be seasoned with sauce, and all the skewers are almost the same.
It's all the same as my mother's method, sprinkle some cumin, sprinkle some salty salt noodles and chili noodles.
The reason why you can distinguish whether it is delicious or not depends mainly on the marinating method and ingredients used in the meat skewers. In other words, whether it is good or not depends entirely on the preparation in the early stage.
"Is this going to work? Seasoned with sauce, I've heard of it for the first time! Mom asked with a frown, a little skeptical.
"That's right, your mother and I have lived for most of our lives, and I haven't heard of anyone who uses sauce for skewers, Da Zhuang, are you kid messing around?" Comrade Lao Gu also said in a questioning tone.
Gu Bai spread out his hands and explained weakly: "Mom, you have been studying here for an afternoon, I said, this is definitely a secret sauce, other people's families don't have it, don't you believe what your son says?" Why don't we try it first? ”
"I think it's okay, it's delicious or not, let's try it, but don't go out at night to eat for others, if you want to cause trouble, you can harm the people in our own family!" Comrade Lao Gu nodded vigorously.
When Gu Bai heard this, his nose was almost crooked, is this still his own father?
The decision was made, and the family of three walked to the gate of the courtyard.
At this time, the barbecue stove has been set up, but the skewers have not been taken out yet, it is still early, and the sun has not yet set, so there is no hurry.
Comrade Lao Gu was very discerning today, and he didn't need to open his mouth at all, he took the initiative to take out a few mutton skewers.
Standing in front of the stove, my mother burned the charcoal, and the red charcoal fire emitted a blazing heat.
At this time, a few neighbors who were going to buy groceries gathered around curiously.
"Xiumei, what's the matter today, so early?" An aunt in her fifties asked with a smile.
"yes, who is going to eat skewers at this time!" An uncle who was nearly sixty years old also nodded.
My mother smiled and said, "Hehe, isn't it okay to be idle, Da Zhuang also wants to learn how to grill skewers, so let him try it first, and he should play ......"
"Oh!" The uncles and aunts nodded, and their eyes invariably moved to Gu Bai's body.
Gu Bai grinned, and while putting the mutton skewers on the stove, he said, "Aunt Liu, will there be a skewer later?" This is my new research and exclusive secret ingredient, the taste is absolutely unmistakable, free ......"
"Hehe, Auntie's teeth are not good, and she can't bite this mutton skewer, but Da Zhuang, this child is really sensible, and he knows that he has helped the family, okay, it's good for the son to inherit the mother's business." Aunt Liu said with a smile.
Da Zhuang didn't squeak, and his mind was on the skewers of mutton, but his mother's face changed slightly...... Maybe we really don't understand the world of the elders.
When these words fell into my mother's ears, they became very harsh, and even a little ridiculous.
Da Zhuang is a serious college student, and now he should be working hard in the city, but now he is running home to grill skewers, and what is the son of his mother's business...... Why is this so unpleasant?
Mom raised her eyebrows, took a small step forward, pinched the hem of her clothes with one hand, and held it together slightly.
This posture is obviously preparing for a quarrel.
After decades of married life, Comrade Lao Gu could see at a glance what she wanted to do, and hurriedly coughed a few times, and smiled and played a round: "Sister Liu, I heard that your son is working as a cook in a small restaurant near the county hospital?" Earn a lot a month, right? It's good to be a chef, you don't have to run outside, which is like our family Da Zhuang, you can only go home once during the New Year's holidays, and you have to leave if you don't stay for a few days, no, the relationship between the unit leader and Da Zhuang is good, see that he hasn't gone home for a long time, so give him a few days off, come back to honor his parents, hehe......"
Comrade Lao Gu is an honest and kind-hearted person, and he is a veritable good man.
It's just at some point, a little too much.
Originally, he also had good intentions and wanted to resolve this dispute. As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, everyone has known each other here for decades, and they don't see anyone who looks up and looks down, and they usually help each other.
If it is because of one sentence, it is really not worth it to stiffen the relationship for decades.
So, it should be.
His original intention might have been to change the subject and talk about other things, not to dwell too much on this awkward topic, however......
When these words fell into Aunt Liu's ears, they changed a little.
How do you feel that this old Gu seems to be showing off something, why does it sound so awkward?
"Yes, your son is promising, your son is the most filial, I still have something to do, go first!" After Aunt Liu said this, she turned around and left without looking back.
The vigorous pace, the bewitching figure, the ......
"Hey, Sister Liu, what are you in a hurry to buy vegetables, you will taste the big skewers later, alas, you are really hard enough, your son is a chef, you have to buy vegetables and cook by yourself, this is ......"
Needless to say, this must be Comrade Lao Gu's kindness, and his intentions are good, which is an indisputable fact.
The thick fat is secreted in the meat, making a 'sizzling' sound.
The strong smell of meat also wafted out, making several old neighbors next to him subconsciously swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva.
It's so fragrant, the smell is so tempting.
Da Zhuang took out his secret sauce and carefully spread it evenly on the lamb skewers, trying to make every piece of meat have sauce.
The charcoal fire is not very strong, but it is just right.
The meat skewers spread with sauce gradually develop a unique flavor under the simmering heat.
Da Zhuang didn't have the heart to look at the expressions of his mother and those old neighbors, and when the sauce gradually penetrated into the meat, he pinched the chili noodles and cumin successively and sprinkled them evenly on the meat skewers.
"Okay, Da Zhuang brand exclusive skewers, try them all......"
