Wang Li found her younger siblings at her fourth father's house.
Not only her younger siblings were there, but her father was also there, and they were all sitting on the small bench she carried with her to listen to the fourth father's talk about the ancients, so she also rubbed next to her father and borrowed a small bench to sit down and listen together.
Speaking of which, the fourth father is the most educated elder of their Wang family hut, it is said that he has been studying in the county's private school since he was a child, and he has been studying for ten years, and when he is about to graduate, the Japanese devil called, and the county private school was closed, so he had to go back to the Wang family's cottage.
Even if he went back to the Wang's cottage, among the peasants who didn't even know the words, the fourth father was also a big cultural person, and he wrote with a brush that was a dragon flying and phoenix dancing, which was very beautiful. So of course, after the liberation, the fourth father became the branch secretary of the royal cottage.
Originally, with the prestige of the fourth father, the branch secretary of the Wang family's cottage will not be able to do it until he retires, and it will not be the turn of others to do it, but unfortunately, who let WG come, people like the fourth father who have gone to private schools are the targets of criticism, and they still want to be the branch secretary who leads the progress of the people, it is simply a dream! So a piece of paper came down from the township, and the fourth father's branch secretary came to an end.
Fortunately, the people in the Wang family's cottage have always respected him very much, and the current branch secretary Wang Qianjin will also be a man, and no one dares to humiliate his family. Moreover, every time the Chinese New Year comes, adults and children like to come to his house to play, listen to his old man talk about the ancient times that he usually dare not talk about, and ask for some melon seeds and peanuts to eat by the way.
Today's fourth father tells the story of the Japanese devils who killed their county seat back then, but because the geographical location of the county was really bad, it was difficult to defend and easy to attack, and the transportation was inconvenient, so they just searched and evacuated.
"Hey, our county seat, this is more than 50 miles away from the Yangtze River, and the surrounding area is full of mountains, and there are no valuable minerals, and there is only one entrance to the city. If you look at it from the map, this terrain is simply a pocket, and you can't get out if you come in, so those little Japan will not even have the interest of slaughtering and occupying, and they will just grab a pass and leave, and the real disaster to our county is still those puppet army dog legs, and the fox and fake tiger can make the people in our county miserable, at that time, which family was not robbed, which family did not have a girl. ”
The fourth father hated it when he talked about this.
It is said that the little sister of the fourth father was snatched away by the puppet army in the county in that chaotic era, and later after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, news came that she was the aunt of a senior officer of the Kuomintang. It's a pity that immediately after the Liberation War began, there was no news, and until now, I don't even know whether she is alive or dead.
Wang Li was silent when she heard this, at this time, she couldn't say that after the reform and opening up, the fourth father and her little sister returned to their hometown from the United States to visit relatives, so don't worry about the fourth father, in another seventeen or eighteen years, you will be able to see your little sister.
Wang Laozhuan also sighed again and again when he heard this, smoking a hookah, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
Later, according to his father, in order to save his mother, the family was ruined by his grandfather to the last seventy or eighty Yuan Datou, all of which let his father take out the pickle jar buried in the ground, and take it all to give gifts, just like that, his mother still took his eleven-year-old sister, and continued to be sloppy and sloppy like a crazy woman for several years, and hid at home all day long and didn't dare to go out, for fear of going out and being seen and remembered. One day, one day I didn't pay attention and was robbed away.
He looked at the second daughter who was sitting beside him and listened to Gu.
His four daughters, this one looks the most like his mother, much more like his eldest sister, and they are all very gorgeous.
Now this child is still young, and he can't see it much, but when he is two years old, he will grow up, but he will be very good-looking.
He thought of the WG who was still making trouble, and thought about the behavior of those revolutionary generals in the county town that he had heard, and the girls who were unlucky and ruined, and his heart became uneasy.
His mother was so good-looking back then, that is, after giving birth to two children, there were people who were worried about it when she was almost thirty years old, and now Ali looks so much like his mother, if she waits for Ali to grow up, let those people see it and worry about it, but it's a terrible thing, now there are no seventy or eighty Yuan Datou in his family who can take it to give gifts and intercede.
In the future, it is better to detain Ali at home, and go out less to show her face, which should be less dangerous. After three or four years, it should be good to find her a reliable in-law, get married, and dress sloppy again.
Anyway, it has been liberated now, and there is no such thing as robbing people casually before liberation.
After thinking about it like this, Wang Laozhuan decided, in the future, he would not let Ali go out alone, and she couldn't dress up when she went out.
Therefore, Wang Li didn't know that in the days to come, she would be detained at home by her father and would not be able to go anywhere.
However, she doesn't care about that, after all, it's not over yet, and there's no chance to go out yet.
When the fourth father finished talking about the ancients, everyone who listened to the ancients dispersed, and it was not early, and the father and son also went home with the small bench brought by the family.
"Second sister, is this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner made by my mother and eldest sister?"
Wang Aiguo saw that the second sister had been listening to Gu all afternoon, so he asked a little uneasily.
Wang Li nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, except for the old hen that has been simmered a long time ago, fried balls, and braised pork belly, the stir-fried dishes are all roasted by Ma and Wang Mei." ”
When Wang Laozhuan heard this, he couldn't help shaking his pipe and instigating his teeth, and he didn't want to go home a little.
The craftsmanship of the old woman in the family......
He wanted to reprimand Ali, she shouldn't be greedy for fun and not go home to cook, but when he thought about it, it seemed that for several years, she usually burned it, and even the Chinese New Year's Eve meal was burned by this child, and it was also appropriate to want to rest this year, and this reprimand could not be said.
Wang Xia pursed her mouth and said: "Mom's fried dishes are so unpalatable, the eldest sister has never fried a dish well, and I don't know what it tastes like." ”
Wang Aiguo also said with a bitter face: "Mom's cooking is ......"
Wang Fang was also worried, she thought more long-term: "What if the second sister gets married and can't stay at home anymore in the future?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the three little sisters were stunned! looked at Wang Li in horror.
Wang Li smiled sweetly with eight teeth.
Wang Laozhuan looked at the children, and he was also worried, but he couldn't tear down the old woman in front of the children, so he said with a tiger face: "Are you talking like that?" Yes! Your mother has been cooking for decades, and there is no credit and hard work, not to mention where she can't cook well! Ali has only been cooking for a few years! I can't go back like this, I will burn it for you to eat!"
Having said that, I have already begun to wonder whether to let the two little ones practice their skills in the future, this girl cooks deliciously, and she can get it when she gets married in the future, and in the future, she loves her country to please her wife, and this daughter-in-law has to cook deliciously. After eating Ali's rice, I really don't want to eat the old woman's pig food anymore.
When he returned home, sure enough, the father and son were immediately scolded indiscriminately by Lin Guizhi: "Yo, you still know to come back!" What time is it? Don't go home, right, it's not the New Year, right, what are you going to do when you come back, it's all going to be outside for the New Year! ”
Wang Laozhuan didn't hear anything, walked to the table and sat down, took out a hookah, wiped a match and smoked it, Wang Aiguo slipped into the back room, and saw the new clothes made for him by his second sister, Wang Fang and Wang Xia said to wipe the table, and the other said to wash the dishes, and in a blink of an eye, there was no one left, only Wang Li was left, and slowly turned into the kitchen.
Seeing Wang Li enter the kitchen, Lin Guizhi breathed a sigh of relief, this has not burned the Chinese New Year's Eve meal for many years, and she suddenly asked her to burn it now, she didn't know how to prepare, how to side dishes, how to cook.
In the middle of the afternoon, the celery sprouts were washed (that was washed by Wang Mei), the chili peppers were cut (that was cut by Wang Mei), the chicken cakes were spread out (they were almost pasted), the rice was cooked (Wang Mei's fire), the shredded potatoes were cut, and the old hen soup was hot.
These alone made a mess of her and Wang Mei's busyness, and now that she saw Wang Li coming back, she took off her apron as a matter of course, stuffed it into Wang Li's hand, and said, "Okay, the dishes are all cut and ready, you can just fry them a little." It's really, it's such a big person, and I don't know how to help me at home, and the running figure is gone, so you can do the rest quickly, and you'll have a good meal when you're done. ”
Before he finished speaking, the man had already quickly walked into the hall, and was still saying, "They all sit there and serve the lord and others!" Don't take out the whip yet, take it apart and hang it up! I don't want to see when it's gone! Didn't you hear that the house next door was whipping to eat? ”
Leaving Wang Mei at the door of the stove and wanting to leave, she was stopped by Wang Li again: "You go, who will light the fire?" Or do you come to stir-fry? ”
So Wang Mei was stuffy at the door of the stove to add firewood, and Wang Li quickly stir-fried the prepared various stir-fried vegetables on the pot table.
By the time Wang Mei had just recovered from her anger, Wang Li was already directing Wang Xia and Wang Fang to serve food to the table on the pot. She finally didn't have to keep burning the fire!
Wang Fang and Wang Xia happily put the dishes on the table, their hearts were excited, and their hearts said that it was so good, the dishes were burned by the second sister, and finally there was no need to eat pig food on Chinese New Year's Eve!
Wang Aiguo looked at the eight plates on the table, and his mouth was full of saliva: stewed old hen! Fatty pork belly! Fried lotus root balls! Deep-fried glutinous rice balls! Stir-fried shredded potatoes! Stir-fried chicken cake with green peppers! Stir-fried shredded pork with celery sprouts! It really looks delicious! What the? Only seven dishes? Isn't there a plate of raw and unedible obedient fish! Aren't that eight?
A few people quickly moved the table to the middle of the hall, put the dishes, chopsticks and dishes, and put the four benches in four directions.
At this time, everyone's face is full of smiles, and everyone's heart is looking forward to the New Year.
