Chapter 45: I Don't Want to Go to Work Anymore
The Shen family is at the entrance of Fuyun Village.
To go up a small steep slope, two camphor trees at the top of the slope are entrenched for an unknown number of years, and the strange-shaped roots are exposed, which has made the resting people polish bright.
The camphor tree passed, and then entered a gatehouse, and turned right into the courtyard of the Shen family.
The courtyard is not enclosed, but faces the hall.
As you can see from the wooden lattices, the house is a few years old. It is no different from other houses in the village, the main house is a hall house, with two rooms on each side.
On the right side of the courtyard, three or four tiled houses were built, and the stove and firewood and straw houses were here.
Hearing the commotion, two women came out of the room.
The younger ones looked very smart, and they were taken aback when they saw Ming Hao, it was Lan Qing who went to give Ming Hao a salary yesterday.
The other was older, not tall, with a few white strands on his head, his hair loosely tied up at the back of his head, and an earthy blue shirt with a few patches neatly embellished.
With a goose egg face, clear eyebrows, and wrinkles on his face are already very obvious, he is looking at himself with kind eyes at this time......
Ming Hao looked at it, and his eyes were covered with a layer of fog, "Mom-"
This look, this look at his own eyes, isn't this the mother that he can only see in his dreams? Except for being a little older than before, the rest is the same. My mother, who left when I was a child, seems to have been separated from Ming Hao for 20 years, and I am reunited here, and God is really good for herself!
Zhou Xiaoqin saw that her daughter's eyes were red and she couldn't hold back, so she immediately stepped forward, "I'm well-behaved, what's wrong?" ”
Reaching out, I found that my hands were still a little dirty when I was working, and I rubbed my clothes on my clothes without caring so much.
Ming Hao hugged her, took a deep breath, and said, "Mom, I just miss you." I feel like I haven't been home in a long time. ”
She was so homesick for many, many years.
Zhou Xiaoqin listened to her child's words, and she wanted to laugh a little, this child can't grow up even if she is married, she has been sticking to herself since she first hugged her, and then looked at her son-in-law on the side......
Ming Hao has no scheming in the end, if this is seen by his son-in-law, he will feel uncomfortable when he looks back, and he will still need young people to live in the future.
Zhou Xiaoqin looked at Chu Tiankuo and wanted to explain something.
When Chu Tiankuo sat in the car, he could only see Ming Hao's back stirring, and his heart was also tight, when he met Ming Hao on the train, he could guess how critical the situation was at that time, wearing men's clothes, cutting his hair, and designing to get out, and returning to the village, whether it was Achu's incomprehension and difficulty, or the rumors spread around the village, or the difficulty of going back to Qingchuan Village to ask for food, Ming Hao was always smiling, as if nothing could stump her.
However, she is still a young girl's family.
Chu Tiankuo felt a sense of distress in his heart.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhou Xiaoqin's eyes, and he immediately said, "Mom, don't worry, I will often accompany Ming Hao back in the future." ”
Zhou Xiaoqin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, originally afraid that they would have ideas between them because of this, and it would be good if they didn't.
Minghao stabilized his emotions and tried to control his excitement, and he couldn't scare them in the future.
Lan Qing smiled on the side, "Mom, it's good that they're back, what a good thing." Say it in the house. ”
On the side, Shen Yingliang also began to move the things in the car down little by little, and brought a chair and stood next to the car, "Comrade Chu Tiankuo!" I'm going to help you get out of the car now! ”
Ming Hao, who was pulled by Zhou Xiaoqin and Lan Qing to talk, sneered.
walked over to Shen Yingliang's side and helped carry Chu Tiankuo into the hall.
Weng and his son-in-law are both soldiers, and they chatted together in three or two sentences.
Zhou Xiaoqin and Lan Qing went to the kitchen to cook, and Ming Hao naturally followed to help.
The Shen family's stove room is a boxy box, and there are a few earthen stoves built in the middle of the wall, and the earthen stove on this side of the stove is facing the neat firewood, and there are still scattered branches and dead grass on the side of this firewood.
Behind the stove are a few wooden barrels and a large water tank, and on one side is a set of boards, and on the back of the tiles directly above the boards, there are a few bright tiles, and a ray of light comes down from the roof.
Minghao squatted in front of the stove, looking at the chopped pickled kohlrabi on the board, one large and one small, divided into two small piles.
She pretended not to see, bowed her head, and fiddled with the fire on the stove.
If you guessed correctly, the small pile was mixed with the minced meat bought by Shen Yingliang to make a meat patty, and the child ate a small piece at a time, and the large part, mixed with the minced meat skin, would definitely not form a meat patty, it was just a little more meaty, and it was eaten by adults during the autumn harvest.
When you eat like this during the autumn harvest, you can imagine how it usually is.
But that's it, as soon as Shen Yingliang saw himself, he still cut two catties of meat and bought pork ribs.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked to Ming Hao while working.
If she had risen to help, she would have been dissuaded.
Lan Qing said with a smile: "Minghao, I didn't expect you to go back today, the dried sweet potatoes you liked to eat before, the weather was not very good these days, and I didn't dry them, and next time I got my sister-in-law to bring it to you, is this rib fried directly or made of sugar and sour plum ribs?" This year's New Year is better than before, if you want to eat, tell your sister-in-law, we don't lack anything, or we will fry it, and you will keep the rest to eat slowly......"
Lack of anything, lack of nutrition, you guys. Ming Hao naturally can't be so selfish, these ribs are fried, not to mention the oil, there is not much meat in the mouth at all, and I don't know how to eat it like this before, what sweet and sour pork ribs, although the vinegar is replaced by sour plum, but it is sugar.
Besides, you might not be able to eat them at all.
Ming Hao said brightly: "I have changed the taste now, after the ribs are chopped, the big white radish is cut into pieces, sprinkled with green onions, it tastes good, or you can add potatoes directly, simmer and eat, fragrant!" And the meat, all chopped into stuffing! I'll teach you later, my mother-in-law's cooking is delicious! ”
Only in this way can such two catties of pork ribs be able to allow everyone to eat some.
Zhou Xiaoqin and Lan Qing laughed, and started working according to Ming's arrangement.
Inspired by Li Qiufang, Ming Hao gave full play to his innovation, filled the stove with firewood, and Ming Hao came to help.
This time, it was not rejected.
"Mom, dial such a small piece of meat stuffing from here, chop a little water chestnut into it, and add a little cabbage shredded radish shredded fungus or something, used to make radish stuffed, this small piece is made into tofu stuffed, and the rest will be put away, next time I will make eggplant stuffed or something, my mother-in-law will also make vegetable bags, which are ordinary vegetable leaves, scalded and soft, put a little minced meat and green onion and ginger in the glutinous rice, and some children can be satisfied with eating one......"
Zhou Xiaoqin and Lan Qing were busy when they heard Minghao talking, and their eyes lit up.
Minghao took advantage of Li Qiufang's excuse to say about a dozen simple and easy-to-implement dishes in one breath before stopping.
Soon, the pork ribs and radish soup were stewed, the stuffed radish and tofu were also out of the pot, and the cabbage was fried, which was fragrant together.
Shen Yingliang and Chu Tiankuo were still discussing with great interest.
"Big brother, what about them?" Confused?
Lan Qing hurriedly answered: "Ming's good don't care about your eldest brother, he's still in the field, I'll send him food later, your second brother is in the factory, he has sharp hands and feet, and he also likes to work over there, and when the family is not busy, he will revolve around those machines after working all day long!" ”
I see.
As soon as he picked up the rice bowl, he dropped a bombshell.
"Dad, Mom, that, I don't want to go to work anymore."
