The ridge is full of Yingshan Red (novella) Zhang Baotong 2016.1.2
Everyone had a lively time, and they went home to cook and eat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info When everyone left, Yuxiu began to sweep the floor. Chen Jie helped Yuxiu clean up. At this time, a woman in her fifties came into the house with a seven or eight-year-old girl and called out to her sister. Yuxiu immediately put down the broom in her hand, came over and took the woman's hand, and asked her to sit down. The woman said, "I went out in the afternoon, and I heard that you had brought Xiao Chen with me, so I came to have a look." ”
Chen Jie thought that this was some relative of the He family, but Yuxiu said to him, "This is Huang Gehui's mother." Chen Jie touched his schoolbag and wanted to get something for the guy, but the schoolbag was empty. So he took two pieces out of his pocket, and gave them to the woman, saying, "I didn't know that you had come and had nothing to prepare, so I bought something for you to eat." ”
The woman waved her hand and said, "Don't be too polite. But Chen Jie just stuffed the money into the woman's hand. As it was getting dark, the woman said a few words and took the child away.
At this time, the oil lamps are lit and the meals are served, with fragrant chicken, glutinous rice glutinous rice cakes, green vegetable vermicelli, green bamboo shoots and chili peppers, egg chili peppers and fried winter melon and roasted eggplant. Fill a small dining table. Even during the Chinese New Year, the family has never made so many good dishes. In order to let the guests eat well, the two adults and Yuxiu accompanied Chen Jie, and the three children were arranged to eat in the kitchen.
While sandwiching meat for Chen Jie, Mother He said apologetically, "If you don't get married in the New Year, no one will kill a pig, you can only kill a chicken." ”
Chen Jie said, "You are cooking dishes with a lot of thieves, but you are afraid that you are entertaining the central leaders?" ”
He Mu said, "You are the savior of our family. ”
Chen Jie said, "Don't say that, Yuxiu and I are very good friends. ”
At this time, Feng Yanzi came over with a bowl and said to his mother, "Mom, I want to eat meat." ”
His mother gave him a piece of meat and said, "Don't come again." ”
Yuxiang saw that her mother gave her younger brother meat, and she also came over to ask for meat. The mother glared at her and said, "I haven't seen any guests, so I don't know etiquette." Chen Jie hurriedly picked up a piece of meat and put it in Yuxiang's bowl.
He Mu said to Chen Jie, "You live alone in the team, no one cares and no one asks, so pitiful." ”
Chen Jie said, "It's not pitiful, it's much better than me in the commune tea house." We were in the commune tea farm, and we didn't have any vegetables to eat in winter and spring, and last year we had a bowl of sauce and salt water and a bowl of rice for three months in a row, and the rice was made of broken rice, and there was a lot of fine sand in it, and if we didn't eat well, it would make our teeth hurt so much. My brother said that the broken rice was used as feed for the pigs. ”
Mother He was surprised and said, "It's not as good as our pigs." ”
Father He also asked, "You've never eaten meat, have you?" ”
Chen Jie said, "I ate it once during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, but it was a female pork that died of illness, and there was only half a bowl per person. I got meat from the cafeteria, and before I could eat it, I smelled that the meat had spoiled and smelled so bad, so I gave the meat to someone else to eat. ”
Yuxiu said, "So it's better for you to go down to the team than to be in the tea field." ”
Chen Jie said, "That's natural, the team gave me three points of rice and oil, and also gave me three points of self-reserved land, I can't finish eating a lot of vegetables, many dishes are old, there is no way, just give Yun Dad's pig to eat." A few days ago, Secretary Huang of the tea field came to me and asked me to go back to the tea field. I said that I was doing well in the team and would not go back to the tea field. ”
Yuxiu said, "Yes, don't go back." In the team, in the tea field, they all earn work. ”
After eating and drinking tea, Mother He began to mention the matter of repaying the money. She put the money next to Chen Jie's table and said, "You have done us a great favor and spent a lot of money." I should have paid it off at once, but I only got the 200 yuan when I went all over the village. You take it first, and we will pay off the rest of the money at the end of the year. ”
But Chen Jie said, "What's the money?" If your family is in trouble, I should help. As he spoke, he put the money in He Mu's hand.
This surprised the He family, because no one could say that they didn't want this large sum of money. Mother He hurriedly said, "It's not easy for your father to earn money, and besides, the money belongs to your parents, so you can't help but pay it back." As he spoke, he put the money on the table again.
Chen Jie said, "I borrowed this money from my mother, and I told my mother that I would pay it back when I worked." As he spoke, he stuffed the money to He Mu again.
Yuxiu felt too reluctant to go, and said, "If that's the case, we owe you so much affection, I really don't know if we pay it back." If we don't pay back the money we borrowed from others, we won't be able to sleep well at night. ”
Chen Jie glanced at her and said, "Then I'll keep the money with you first, and then come and get it when I need it." ”
After eating, Yuxiu took Chen Jie to leave. Father and Mother He sent them to the path by the pond. At this time, Yuxiang suddenly ran over from the other side of the house and shouted to Chen Jie, "Brother Xiao Chen, come back next time." ”
Chen Jie deliberately teased her and said, "Why do you want me to come again?" ”
Yuxiang said, "If you come, we will have meat to eat." ”
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will eat your family poor if I come too much?" ”
Yuxiang didn't know how to answer, so she squeezed her eyes and ran away.
Walking on the road, Yuxiu said with deep feelings, "I didn't let you take care of my affairs, but it seems that I can't let you take care of it." ”
Chen Jie smiled and said, "God sent me to take care of your affairs, and you can't let me take care of it." ”
Yuxiu said, "Otherwise, others say that I am your sister-in-law, and I used to explain it to them, but now, I can't even explain it." ”
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Then you don't have to explain." ”
Yuxiu pretended to be serious and said, "Then I will really be your sister in the future, and I want to fall in love with you." ”
As soon as Chen Jie heard this, his face immediately changed, and he said, "No, once I recruit and leave, I will make you as pitiful as Sister Yan." ”
Yuxiu said, "Then you don't want to be a worker, go home with me and become a farmer." ”
Chen Jie said resolutely, "No, unless we are workers together." ”
Yuxiu sighed and said, "It seems that we can only be friends." ”
