Chapter 058 Chief's Instructions
The day of killing the pig is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the next day is Chinese New Year's Eve, and everyone does not have to work anymore, so there is this leisure to watch the pig killing. Of course, pigs are big and pigs are small, and the meat is fat and thin, all of which are related to their own vital interests.
Pork is also particular, people in this era like fatty meat, but lean meat is not welcomed, the reason is needless to say, it is all the fault of poverty, there is no clear oil at home, if you take a piece of lean meat home, there is no oil for stir-frying vegetables during the New Year.
In addition to pork, pigs also have pig offal, pig hoof bones, etc., these things should also be distributed, but they are converted into meat to distribute, such as fat intestines, which are 5 catties for one catty, pig hearts are 2 catties for 1 catty, and pig trotters are 1.4 catties for 1 catty.
Nepal media, and this good thing, Yang Xia began to take advantage of the "advantage" again, he told the people who shared the meat that those things that no one wanted, all of them were kept for his family, and his family could not want meat.
The person who divided the meat was friendly with Yang Guangyao, and looked up at Yang Guangyao, and Yang Guangyao said, "Listen to my son!" Just this sentence is equivalent to disclosing Yang Xia's status in the Yang family, which is equivalent to the status of "parent".
Yang Guangyao said this, it's not that he doesn't know that meat is better than these offal, but the Yang family has about 20 catties of fresh pork, 20 catties of bacon, and two pots of about 10 catties of clear oil.
There are about 600 students in Chiquan Middle School, according to the national plan, about 300 catties of clear oil per month, and 3,000 catties for 10 months every year. And this year, on the list of year-end material distribution, Yang Xia was naturally one more. [In later generations, if you look at the welfare roster or salary roster of some units, there must be so many names that you have never seen.] ]
Don't think that there is only one more Yang Xia, and the other students, because of their parents, also left the school with Qingyou. What is different about Yang Xia is not that he relies on his parents, but the opportunities he creates himself.
After killing the New Year pig and sharing the meat, the next day is Chinese New Year's Eve, for Yang Xia, the happiest thing on Chinese New Year's Eve is not to eat meat, nor to set off artillery battles, nor to play marbles between neighborhood children, but to observe and experience.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the adults are busy and happy, while the children are looking forward to it. Expectation, is looking forward to eating meat, at least, these children haven't seen oil meat for almost a month. Happiness is because of freedom, usually, adults always have to arrange something for their children to do, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, no matter how strict parents are, they will let their children go out to play for a while, as for the attention to the safety of the car and the like told by the future life, there is no at all, at most, "Remember, don't fight!" ”
On Chinese New Year's Eve, firecrackers are set off twice, once during meals, which is commonly known as "New Year" in rural areas. This custom, each family and surname are different, some are early in the morning for the New Year, some are for the noon New Year, and some are for the evening New Year, so in a small village, from morning to night, there is the sound of artillery battles, among which the noon New Year is the most concentrated.
Before the Chinese New Year, there is a very important process, that is, worship, this worship is not to say two words can be solved, but to go to the ancestors' graves, in front of the shrine, it is to burn paper money and cannonballs, outsiders see the excitement, family members see piety.
Since the Baokan project on the Yang family's contracting area, the Yang family has undergone a small change, that is, the grandparents usually have three meals a day, which has been transferred from the uncle's family to their own home, which is Yang Xia's request. Yang Xia's only reason is to do more filial piety, of course, this guy later used his grandfather as a full laborer, and no one bothered him.
Therefore, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of the Yang family was exactly eight people, and the grandparents sat high above, and everyone toasted a glass of wine before officially starting. In addition to this ceremony, the Yang family's New Year's dinner was very casual. Compared with other families, compared with last year, the Yang family's New Year's dinner is of course hearty, the traditional farmer's "nine big bowls", what tooth cabbage button meat, steamed pork, sweet roasted white, balls, crispy meat, stewed hooves, cold chicken nuggets, duck drizzled in oil, sweet and sour fish, etc., everything, before the "nine big bowls", there is a plate of peanuts, a plate of cold salad three silk (radish shreds, kelp, vermicelli), a plate of marinated pin. Secondly, there are all kinds of seasonal side dishes.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Yang family except for Yang Xia was still fighting at night, and the others went to bed early, the so-called keeping the year, in this era is not established, there is no TV, even no electricity, if you light a kerosene lamp, it is all money, so everyone sleeps after dinner, wants to be lively, understand to get up early. Of course, there are also some families who will wait until 12 o'clock and set off firecrackers before they enter the eyes.
In fact, the people who were called squires in the past were the staunch defenders of the Chinese tradition, but it was a pity that this group of people was devastating when the new China was established. Even if some can be restored in later generations, the traditional rituals of mainland China are no longer as good as those of TW or Hong Kong.
On January 18, 1979, the first day of the first lunar month, the Spring Festival, Yang Xia was reborn for the second year. However, because Yang Xia slept late last night, he slept relatively heavily on the morning of the Spring Festival.
Yang Xia felt a commotion in the yard, who was it.
"Fifth brother, fifth brother, hurry up, there are a few big leaders and comrades." Yang Xia was in a drowsy mood, and the younger brother Yang Dong kept scratching Yang Xia's head.
"Who?" Yang Xia was about to wake up. In fact, this morning is also one of the few mornings in Yang Xia that does not meditate and meditate, according to what Ran said back then, the last two days of the lunar month and the first two days of the lunar month, you can rest for a few days.
"Release/Release/Army!" In this era, the People's Liberation Army is also the object of worship, so when Yang Dong said these three words, his tone revealed a kind of pride.
"Huh?" Yang Xia was also frightened, hurriedly jumped out of bed, wiped the corners of his eyes with last night's wet wool coin, and jumped into the courtyard.
The morning sun shone through the treetops into the courtyard of the Yang family, and in the sun, the cockades of the two soldiers shone bright red, and from the clothes wearing four pockets and their age, it could be judged that these were two officers. In addition, there are several local cadres.
"Hello leaders!" Yang Xia greeted with a smile.
"Xiao Wu, these comrades said to look for you." Grandpa saw Yang Xia coming out of the room and said loudly.
"Oh, you're Comrade Yang Xia, right?" A local cadre asked.
"Yes, I am. What's the matter? Yang Xia was a little confused.
"Yang Xia, male, born on the second day of the second lunar month in 1964, is a student in Class 1 of Chiquan Middle School. father Yang Guangyao and mother Hu Yueqin. Is this true? An army cadre asked aloud.
The grandfather and father standing in the courtyard dam heard the officer's question, and their hearts jumped: Could it be that Wu'er caused a big incident?
"It's true." Yang Xia replied calmly. Yang Xia is not an uninformed person, everything he has done after his rebirth can not only stand the test of history, but also stand the test of current politics.
"Okay, Comrade Yang Xia, according to the instructions of the head of Shangjing, we have come to pick you up to attend a meeting in Beijing, and your friend Jia Xiaobao is also rushing to Beijing from the station of a certain regiment of the Northern Military Region. Do you understand the instructions of the chief? ”
"Understood! When to go? ”
"Give you half an hour to prepare."
"Okay, then ask a few leaders to eat a bowl of dumplings at my house before leaving, presumably you will come to my house at this time, and you must not have had time to have breakfast." Yang Xia invited.
"Okay, you're welcome." The local leader wanted to refuse, but two cadres from the army agreed.
Immediately, my mother and sister brought out bowls of rice balls and filled a small table to the brim.
"Comrades, let's go, this is Comrade Yang Xia's heart." An officer took the lead and sat down.
"Come on, come on, you're welcome. Our rural custom is to eat glutinous rice balls on the morning of the first day of the first lunar month. Yang Xia's mother greeted. Although grandfather Yang Yangao and Yang Guangyao's faces eased, they still looked worried, because the news came too suddenly, and it was better to say that they were invited to a meeting, but they were arrested.
"May I ask Comrade Officer, how long will I be delayed when I go to the meeting this time?" Yang Xia asked while blowing on the hot rice balls.
"Well, we don't know. However, if you usually want to contact your family, you can call your district armed forces department, and the comrades of the district armed forces department will be responsible for conveying it to you. The officer seemed to know what the Yang family was worried about, and explained along with Yang Xia's meaning.
"May I ask the comrades of the People's Liberation Army, what meeting is my little five going to have?" Grandpa Yang Yangao didn't eat rice balls, but kept observing these people.
"We are soldiers, and it is up to us to invite Comrade Yang Xia, needless to say, the nature of this meeting will definitely be a military meeting. However, I still ask Yang Xia's relatives and comrades not to publicize Yang Xia's whereabouts too much, because most of the military operations are secret operations. ”
"Grandpa, don't worry, the current top military leader is Deng Weiren, which shows that the military will not mess around." When Yang Xia said this, he was guessing in his heart that Deng Weiren would pay a state visit to the United States tomorrow, and he didn't know if he could meet his old man in Beijing.
Yang Xia thought like this, not because he didn't know the height of the sky, but because his guess was correct, he notified himself to go to Beijing for a meeting, and it was very likely that Deng Weiren made the board, and the cause of the matter was definitely made by the guy Bao Erye, but, I don't know what kind of shit luck this guy had, from the winter vacation to today, just eleven days, it actually alarmed the sky.
"Little Wuzi, when did our soldiers mess around, in the future, don't talk nonsense!" Grandpa Yang Yangao immediately stopped. Yang Xia dared to say that the military was messing around, this was simply an old birthday star eating arsenic - he didn't want to live anymore.
