Chapter 8 Gossip at the beginning of entrepreneurship

After returning home from the town, my mother sold the two pigs, ducks, and geese that could be slaughtered the next day. Then I started to sign a contract with the team to rent the team's temporary granary, and at a rent of five yuan a month, my mother paid a year's rent. Sixty yuan was a lot of money in their small remote village at that time! Some people in the village were red-eyed and said:

"The daughter-in-law of the boss of the Huang family is really rich, so she rents two small dilapidated houses, and even gives five yuan a month to the team!"

"But no, my old man saw that she gave the captain 60 yuan at a time, and it was all ten yuan a piece, a whole six!"

"I heard that she also bought some kind of iron guy for a few hundred yuan, and I don't know what she is going to do......"

"Listen to the daughter-in-law of the second eldest of the Huang family, what kind of powder is she going to make?"

"It's a machine fan, I've heard about it too!"

"You say, why does this Huang Boss's daughter-in-law have so much money?"

"This must have been before, she must have been dragged to criticize......"

"That's right! She can come up with such a large sum of money at once, and his man is not at home, so she is doing farm work alone......"

"Perhaps, this money was given by her wife, who is a cadre?"

"I can't say that, but yesterday I saw her sell all her livestock."

"Well, I don't know how their livestock are raised, I bought piglets back at the same time as her, our pig will take two months to be slaughtered, her two pigs can be sold yesterday, I heard that the pig is quite big......"

"I heard from the mother-in-law next door to their house, her mother-in-law saw that her pig grew very fast, and thought that the pig food she gave the pig was different, so she went to their kitchen every day to ask for pig food to feed her own pigs, but her mother-in-law's pig still did not grow fast!"

"I know that. I've also seen what she's fed to her pigs, but they don't eat the same pig food as ours. Those who prefer her will grow fat, and ours will grow slowly. It can only be said that her luck is very good! ”

"Good people are always rewarded! Her mother-in-law ......"

……

Grandma listened to everyone's remarks, and inexplicably got angry when she saw her mother, saying that her mother had so much money, and she didn't give her a little to spend, and took it all to the team. Every time my mother came home and didn't even enter the door, she would come over and scold her, sometimes very ugly. But my mother ignored it, scolded you if she loved it, and my mother didn't hear it. Sometimes she was uncomfortable listening to it, so she asked her mother:

"Mom, aren't you angry when grandma scolds you so badly?"

"She's a mad dog, and if she doesn't roar for a day, she will be uncomfortable, and I'm going to be angry with a mad dog, isn't that forgetting that I'm a human being? So Lele doesn't have to pay attention to them, we're not at home during the day now. Just let her roar, otherwise she won't be able to sleep at night, let's be kind! Don't be like a mad dog. ”

The next day, she continued to go with her mother to the granary to pull her wires and install her electric switches. The granary has three tiled houses, and in the village, the houses are relatively strong.

My mother used the big room outside as a processing room, the middle one could be used as a warehouse, and there was a small room next to it as a temporary residence. All three rooms were wired and light bulbs installed. A large light bulb is also installed outside the house, so that you can dry the wet rice noodles outside at night when the weather is good, and you can see it. The small room is also divided into half as a kitchen. Lunch at noon is made here, sometimes it is taken care of late, and grandpa will come back from herding cattle to come and come to see, so he simply eats dinner here before going back.

Because it was the leisure time, my grandfather and aunt's family also came to help my mother tidy up the house. Some of the carpentry work was done by my grandfather. Because drying rice noodles requires a lot of wooden shelves and bamboo poles, especially the half-meter-long drying poles for hanging rice noodles.

My grandfather's family is also from this village, and my grandfather has three daughters and two sons, and among the five children, my aunt has never gone to school for a day because she has to take her younger siblings. My grandfather was afraid that my aunt would suffer if she got married, so I asked my aunt to recruit a son-in-law. The eldest uncle is an honest and kind man who is not good at words, and usually does not talk much, but only buries himself in work. When my mother was in trouble, my grandfather's family always came to help without saying a word.

On this day, it was evening when the machine came, and the villagers had just gone home for dinner. Not many people know what a machine looks like and what to do. Mom followed the two uncles, aunts, grandfathers, and grandfathers surnamed Zheng and Lin to set up the machine. It looks early, but it's almost six o'clock! It was still a little dark in the house, so my mother turned on the 100-watt headlights, and the adults watched the uncles install the machines in the house......

Everyone is busy, and it seems that they can't stop for a while.

She still went to wash the pot and cook first. In her previous life, because there were no adults in the family, she was hungry, so she began to learn to cook by herself. Recently, she has been cooking, and her mother has not suspected anything, and her sisters have been doing housework since they were very young. As the saying goes: the children of the poor are in charge of the house early. It is very common for people to be able to cook at the age of five.

It took great effort to move the cauldron to the stove, which was not very high, add the appropriate amount of water, and then bring the fire to life. I went to my aunt and told her to go to their vegetable field to pick vegetables, peppers, onions and garlic and fry them. The aunt asked the eldest cousin to go to the vegetable field to pick a few more vegetables, and then asked the cousin to go to the river to wash first, and the aunt herself went home and caught a chicken to kill, and took it to the river to wash, saying that she was going to pick up a load of water by the way.

At this time, the drinking water in the village was collected by the river, so every household would have a large water tank, and there were very few people who dug wells. The river is around the village and the water is clear and unpolluted. Although the most popular thing is the spring water, the place where there is spring water is far away from the village.

When the cousin and aunt came back, Lele had already fried a plate of peanuts, washed the vegetable pot, and waited for them to come back to fry other dishes.

Ask the aunt to chop the chicken into small pieces and dice the breast, so that it looks like there are more. Because there are more people eating, although this chicken is very fat, it is not enough to eat, but at least it is good to give everyone a chance to eat a few dices, and it will be a little more in terms of quantity, right?

When the aunt was chopping chicken, Lele made a small bowl of chicken fat from chicken fat, which could be used to cook later. Seeing that the pot is very oily, pour a bowl of water into the pot to boil, remove the pot and set aside. Wait for the pot to dry, pour oil, stir-fry the garlic white, then pour the greens into the pot and fry on high heat, sprinkle a little of the bowl of warm boiled water with oil in the process of frying, add salt and stir-fry a little when the greens are medium-cooked, and you can get out of the pot.

Chicken soup, the time is relatively tight, just fry it, let the aunt cut all the chili peppers picked back, cut the ginger into shreds, and pat the garlic white.

There are no side dishes to say in the village, and when stir-frying, extra green peppers can also be used as dishes.

Heat the pot red and put the oil, pour the ginger, chili pepper and garlic into the pot and stir-fry a few times, then pour the oil, pour the diced chicken that has been salt, wine and ginger marinated for a while into the pot and stir-fry for a while, and then pour the fried chili peppers together and fry them until the chili peppers are flavorful.

Deliberately asked my aunt to divide the chicken butt and chicken liver in half. When cooking the soup, first put the chicken butt in the soup for a while, and then put the chicken red and chicken offal to cook until it is almost cooked, and then put the green vegetables for the soup, so that the green vegetables are crispy and delicious.

In her previous life, when she was a child, she was very strange, why did she give such an unpalatable chicken butt to the old man to eat? She always thought that the meat there smelled of chicken manure. And because I like to eat chicken legs, I think that filial piety to the old man should not give them chicken legs to eat? That's where the meat is the most, isn't it? Later, my mother said that the old people are old and have bad teeth, but the chicken butt meat is very crispy, unlike meat in other places, which requires good teeth to chew. So chicken butt and chicken liver are very suitable for the elderly who have no teeth.

Later, this habit was formed in the village, and if there were elderly people in the family, they would leave it with chicken liver for the elderly to eat. If there are no elderly people in the family, they will also send them to the old people in the clan, and they will not eat in their own home. Today, my grandfather and grandfather are here, so Lele divided them into two parts.

In the middle of October, the autumn breeze has just picked up, and the evenings are cool. Today's weather is very good, so the aunt turned on the headlights, two tables were placed on the floor outside, she divided the dishes into several plates, and the table was set up, although there were only three dishes and one soup, it looked quite a lot.

I brought the meal to the table with my eldest cousin, and went to beckon everyone to come over and wash my hands and eat first.

"Grandpa, grandpa, mother, uncles, uncles, wash your hands and eat!"

"It's time to eat, what delicious dishes did Lele cook for us today?" Grandpa asked, petting my head.

"Grandpa, today my aunt killed a chicken for everyone, I fried delicious chicken, and delicious soup! Lele divides the chicken liver and chicken butt into two halves, and grandpa and grandpa have to eat it! ”

"Lele is so filial!"

"Of course, my mother taught me." Grandpa patted Lele's shoulder with relief. It's all from the same village, and his mother is his eldest daughter, can he not know anything at home? He always knew that their grandmother was very bad to his mother, but he couldn't talk about that old lady, right? Therefore, if he can help their family secretly, he will reach out to help.

Oh, yes! Mother is a woman who repays her grievances with virtue, even if her grandmother treats her badly, if they have delicious food at home, they will share it with grandma. She said that she was filial piety, and no matter what, grandma's elders could not forget. But she's not stupid either. Materially you can give, and the rest, Mom is ignored.

When everyone was eating, the two uncles at the agricultural machinery station kept praising the dishes for being delicious, saying that they didn't expect them rural people to make the dishes so delicious! I don't believe that these dishes are made by Lele and a little kid.

Evenly, even despise you!

After the meal, everyone followed the two uncles until the machines were all installed. My mother put the two uncles in a small house, let them go to my grandfather's house to wash them, and asked my uncle to take them back to the granary.
