Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Family Dinner

"Uncle Mo, let's go"

declined Uncle Mo's invitation to stay and eat together, and the three of them only stayed at Uncle Mo's house for more than ten minutes before leaving.

In order to quickly build up combat effectiveness, the training of all troops of the 1st Independent Regiment was very tight. As half a veteran of the army for half a year, the three of them are currently squad leaders or deputy squad leaders, and at this moment when a large number of recruits are enlisted, they must train with the recruits in the squad.

"Fight the devil well" beckoned to bid farewell to the three of them, and Uncle Mo returned to his house.

In the thatched-roof mud house with four walls, there is only a table made of wooden planks, and on the table are the materials that the three of them have just brought are placed, a thick new quilt, three bags of grain, and an iron bowl with a lid.

"Hide all this food"

Looking at the pile of grain in front of him, Uncle Mo was silent for a moment, facing his wife behind him.

Half a year ago, that is, when the Independent Regiment had just been formed, at that time, the Independent Regiment was short of food and clothing, and he took the initiative to provide hundreds of catties of sweet potatoes to the Independent Regiment, and also organized the people in the village to donate food to the Independent Regiment.

Is this a good reward for good people? Uncle Mo suddenly sighed leisurely, after the cultivated cattle were snatched away by the devils, his status in the village was not as good as before, and no one had given him gifts or things for a long time, at this moment, he felt a lot of emotion in his heart for a while.

"Why don't you fry a white flour bun and eat it today? It's been a long time since they've had a good meal."

Staring at the big bag of white noodles, Uncle Mo's wife, that is, Aunt Lan's voice.

As a typical rural daughter-in-law, Aunt Lan rarely decides family affairs, just silently takes care of everything in the family, standing behind her husband to support his decision, silent and firm, just like when her husband decided to donate half of the family's grain to the independent regiment, he just silently weighed the grain, and then bagged it for the man to send to the independent regiment. And in the following days, he silently reduced the rice in his bowl.

"There are a few tortillas, and a bowl of rice is steamed for everyone, let's have a good taste of this canned beef," Uncle Mo said with a smile, his dark and bright eyes looking at Aunt Lan brightly.

Aunt Lan is 7 years older than him. The two combined the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker, but there were few major quarrels in their marriage for more than 20 years.

About half an hour later, that is, in the evening, the two babies who were busy in the field went home, and there was an old man with white hair and wrinkles, this is Uncle Mo and his father.

"Eat, eat" two children, a seven-year-old, a nine-year-old, all followed their grandfather to work in the field, one was tired, the two were obviously tired, as soon as they got home, they shouted to eat, and at the same time their footsteps rushed to the kettle, lifted the wooden kettle and poured tea into their mouths.

In the gurgling sound, the two of them sniffed suddenly, and there was a smell in the air, a smell they had never asked before, and their stomachs were crazy grumbling under the stimulation of this smell

Their instincts tell them that it's the aroma of the food, and it's a delicious food.

"It's so fragrant, what does it smell like?" The baby asked curiously, his sparkling eyes looked at his mother, Aunt Lan, and his eyes focused on the earthen stove in front of his mother. The brother, who was two years older, was obviously much calmer, and there were no words, but his frantically swallowing throat revealed his thoughts.

"I have meat to eat today, I can eat enough today," Aunt Lan said with a smile.

"Meat..."

"Meat..."

"Eat meat, eat meat"

First there were two sounds of surprise, and then two crisp screams sounded, and the two children immediately shouted excitedly, the last time they ate meat was a year ago, that is, during the Chinese New Year last year.

"Where did you get the meat?" Uncle Mo, who had been silent, asked curiously, he was very aware of the situation in his family, since the ploughing cattle were snatched away by the devils, the output of the family was only that little barren mountainous land, and it was good to eat everything he could, and he often couldn't eat enough, so it was impossible to have the spare energy to buy meat to eat.

"The independent group Dazi sent them here, they were specially sent here because I was injured," Uncle Mo said with a smile.

"Hmm" is his father nodded, and did not continue to ask, since his son accepted it, then he can accept these things, he will not continue to ask, this family is in charge of his son. Just like when he supported the food of the Independent Regiment, he didn't say a word.

"The meal is ready"

When Aunt Lan set the food on the only table in the room, two pairs of bright eyes suddenly stared at the food on the table, and swallowed frantically in their throats.

However, the two guys did resist the impulse, and then rushed towards Uncle Mo together, shouting crisply, and at the same time supporting one left and one right.

"Daddy, it's time to eat"

"Dad, let's eat meat, just eat meat"

Looking at the two babies who asked him to eat with relief, Uncle Mo smiled on his face, and followed the two children, he put down the crutches in his hand and let the two children help him walk to the table.

Aunt Lan stood between the kitchen and living room doors, still holding a freshly washed spatula in her hand, smiling at this scene.

The food on the table was unprecedentedly rich, with five fried pieces of white flour buns, white flour buns mixed with a small amount of butter, golden and crispy in appearance, and exceptionally delicious; Five corn tortillas, made of corn flour mixed with a small amount of glutinous rice flour, fragrant and pleasant; In addition, there are five bowls of large white rice, and the rice used for the large, even, well-grained rice is the top refined rice.

Of course, there is also the bowl of canned meat in the middle of the table, although the canned beef from the system does not taste good for Luo Yunlai, but the portion is full of weight, and the pile is also full, and there are five large pieces of beef in the bowl, all of which are good beef pieces.

Coming to Uncle Mo's house, this can be the most luxurious meal in history, even more sumptuous than when Aunt Lan was taken at the beginning.

After helping his father onto the table, and then setting up a stump stool like his grandfather, the two children pulled their mother, Aunt Lan, who was standing in the distance, to the table.

Under the pull of the child, the family of five sat neatly at the table.

It's just that the five of them took the chopsticks that Uncle Mo had trimmed himself, and they were a little flustered for a while, looking at the exquisite food on the table, no one did it first, even though the food had been divided into five equal portions.

On weekdays, the food is only the same.

As for the two children, although they couldn't be greedy, they still couldn't help but not do it first, and the hard life in the mountains and countryside allowed the two children to mature and face the hardships of life very early.

In the end, it was Uncle Mo who picked up a piece of corn tortilla first and started it. Then everyone ate it too.

After a while, the eyes of the two babies who ate the meat narrowed, and there was a flash of happiness in them.

"This is delicious, and the meat I ate during the Chinese New Year last year was even better"
