Chapter 24: Rendezvous
Then Shen Weiguo mixed the water again and put in an appropriate amount of coarse salt alum to stir and fully dissolve, completely soaked the treated rabbit fur inward in the water, found a straw cover to cover, and saved the debris from falling in, he took over Wen Juan's work of scalding the pheasant feathers with hot water and flipping them to be fully scalded, while explaining Wen Sheng: "Flip it every three or four hours and continue to soak it, soak it for ten hours, and use a knife to remove the remaining muscle, fat, connective tissue and debris on the rabbit skin at night, and then soak it in water overnight, Tomorrow, take it out, unfold it, fix it on a wooden board or wall, and dry it until it is dry, and then rub it with your hands in all directions until it becomes soft, comb and dry it along the hair, and the skin will be ripe and ready to make things! โ
"yes, I see!" Wen Juan nodded, and stretched out her hand to see how the pheasant was burning, and whether it could be removed. The thin white and slender fingers are more like porcelain jade in the sun, and Shen Weiguo, who is a ghost and god, grabbed it in his hand, and for the first time realized what is the soft and boneless touch mentioned in the book, and his heart rippled, this is the daughter-in-law's hand.
Looking at the puzzled eyes of the girl, Shen Weiguo was reluctant to let go of his big hand, there seemed to be a beautiful hand left in his hand, his dark face covered the heat on his face, the roots of his ears were slightly red, and he coughed uncomfortably: "Be careful of hot hands, I'll get it, you watch, find a stool to sit on when you're tired!" "But I forgot, this is Zai Wenjuan's house.
Then he seemed to be very busy and turned his head, not daring to look at Wen Juan, he pulled the chicken feathers with his hands, and they fell off as soon as he dragged them.
Seeing this man's performance, Wen Juan could hardly restrain herself from snorting and chuckling, is this man shy? She actually had the fate to meet such an innocent man, which is really a blessing. It may be good to give yourself to such a man, hand in hand. Getting along and reviewing the choices, Wen Juan's psychological journey is not as immutable as promised.
Hearing the crisp laughter of other girls' silver bells, Camp Commander Shen, who has always been black-faced and cold, and is known as the black tiger and black god, suddenly became even more face-burning, and could only comfort himself, it was his daughter-in-law, his future daughter-in-law, and it didn't matter if he was seen as a joke. If it was a soldier under his command, he would have been picked up by Shen Weiguo's crying father and called his mother to remove his arms and legs.
Thinking about the day when he was going to marry the Yang family for a while, Shen Weiguo, who had been nervous and happy for a long time, couldn't help but glance at the surrounding environment with a keen eye that was not weaker than that of a scout, the future father-in-law was burning the fire, and the future mother-in-law was choosing vegetables, no one looked here, and couldn't help but tilt his head towards Wen Juan, and promised seriously: "Wen Juan, believe me, I will definitely let you live a good life!" โ
If a big man doesn't let his daughter-in-law live a good life, then don't marry a daughter-in-law and drag others to suffer with you. Now that his younger brother has settled down in a family, he has a craft subsidy, and his own allowance is okay, only his father needs to be supported, and there is not much pressure at home, so he will definitely be able to make his daughter-in-law live a good life.
"Hmm." Wen Juan bowed her head slightly, this man's words may not be so sweet, but the sincerity in them can be felt, even if they have the name of being unmarried, it is not good to stay together, seeing that there is nothing that needs her help, Wen Juan first avoided the kitchen to help A-Niang prepare lunch.
Packed up rabbit meat single only about three or four pounds, hung up a to keep the New Year's Hospitality, Yang mother directly chopped a hot pot and put a little fried spicy garlic slices into the rabbit meat pieces to stir-fry, add water potatoes and put it into the big heat stew is a hard main dish, a while just out of the pot corn black noodles two and noodles steamed buns with, particularly fragrant.
Here Wen Juan cleaned up some home-grown onion seedlings and garlic seedlings, a while with eggs is a dish, the small wild boar is still tender, picked up the thin one and cut it for a while to accompany the spinach fungus to make a soup, put two or three salted duck eggs in the steamed bun pot, cut and count a plate, dried mushrooms soaked onion and garlic sprouts cut into sections and fried is another dish, four dishes and one soup, three meat and one vegetable, hard and solid, used to entertain the future son-in-law, it is also rich enough.
The future mother-in-law's craftsmanship is good, and she has the hand of the future daughter-in-law, this meal, under the warm hospitality of Yang Houpu and his wife, Shen Weiguo ate happily, and the two old ladies were enthusiastic, almost making him have a round belly. Fortunately, the daughter-in-law is gentle and generous, and the future sister-in-law and brother-in-law eat hard and have no effort to worry about him.
Tea and food are full, clean up, Yang Wenjiang and Yang Wenyu went out to find friends to play, Yang Houpu and his wife left Shen Weiguo to talk in the hall, Wen Juan avoided reading in her room, and listened to the movement outside.
Shen Weiguo is not the one who goes around the bend, it is a good time to talk at this time, so he applied to Yang Houpu and his wife for the most important things that Shen's father explained to him before leaving: "Uncle, aunt, yesterday my father and my aunt looked at the big water uncle in our village, and the seventh and ninth days of the new year are good days. I thought that my relatives would come to your house to hire on the second day of junior high school, and I happened to work at the Civil Affairs Bureau on the seventh day of junior high school, and I took Wen Juan to register and get a marriage certificate. โ
"Because of my work, the days are a little tight, don't worry, you two elders, I will definitely be good to Wen Juan, let Wen Juan live a good life!"
As soon as the old leader heard that he had solved his personal problems with combat speed, he happily asked for a simple message from Wen Juan, and immediately made a final decision, and would stare at the results of the political trial, and notify him as soon as possible, and then add Wen Juan's name to the marriage report he was forced to write down a year ago, and then add Wen Juan's name to the marriage report he was forced to write down a year ago, and he could solve his marriage problem as soon as possible after the year.
"The ninth day of the first month!" Yang Houpu and his wife glanced at each other, this is the twenty-eighth year of the new year, the twenty-ninth of the new year tomorrow, the thirtieth New Year, and then the first day of the new year, there are only ten days to calculate, compared to the general situation, it is really a bit hasty, but they knew this situation when they decided on the family affairs, coupled with the satisfaction of Shen Weiguo, the two couples did not mean to stop it, and nodded very reasonably.
"Okay, Weiguo, we believe in your character, we can also trust Brother Shen's character, Wen Juan handed it over to you, our old couple can rest assured, we will be satisfied and relieved that you will live with He Meimei in the future!"
This response also made Shen Weiguo's expectant heart satisfied, and Wen Juan, who heard the movement in the next room, sighed that she would marry in ten days, and it was precisely the marriage of the two that was put on the agenda.
"Uncle, aunt, thank you for your trust, you are willing to hand over Wenjuan to me, you just watch, I have something that I didn't do well, you can give me more advice." Tomorrow, there is a big gathering in the twenty-ninth commune, and the county is almost the last to open the door, I want to take Wenjuan to the city to see, can you see it? โ
"Okay, that's a matter for the two of you, you and Wen Juan make an appointment to go for a walk together tomorrow!" The marriage was set in a hurry, and it was also a good thing to let the two young people get along more before marriage, and Yang Houpu and his wife nodded in agreement.
In the end, it is not too late to go to the town's savings house to withdraw money, there is still something to do, there are elders, and it is not good for the two young people to get along, Shen Weiguo chatted with Yang Houpu and his wife for a while and said goodbye. Because Shen Weiguo has something to do and the marriage time is tight, the man must be busier than the woman, and the days to come are still long, and Yang Houpu and his wife have not done much to keep them. Mother Yang wrapped half a pot of steamed buns in a clean stove cloth and put them in Shen Weiguo's bamboo basket, and did not let him return empty-handed, and raised her voice to greet her: "Wen Juan, you send Weiguo!" "It was also for two young people to take a trip around the village and cross the clear road.
Wen Juan came out in response, when Yang Houpu and his wife stopped in front of the door, she sent Shen Weiguo to the village entrance Lubatou, three or four o'clock was when there were many people in the village, Lubatou met a lot of villagers from the Houyang brigade, all of whom knew the elders at the head of the village and the end of the village. โยทยทยท These blessings also show that most of Yang Houpu's family's popularity in the village is good.
"Wen Juan, I'll come to pick you up at seven or eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and go to the county early to get to the county without delaying the drive!" The place where they are belongs to the Hongxing Commune, it takes more than half an hour to ride a bicycle from the brigade to the commune, the commune is fifty or sixty miles away from Xinsu County, it is the most remote border area in the county, and it takes an hour to catch the bus to the county at nine o'clock, and it takes an hour to walk around the county seat at ten o'clock, eat a meal and buy things, and catch the car back at three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Okay, then see you tomorrow, be careful on your way to ride!" Wen Juan nodded and admonished, his sincerity and seriousness, in exchange for her to treat her with the same sincerity and correct her mentality, Wen Juan really treats Shen Weiguo as an unmarried partner. Because of Wen Juan's concern, Shen Weiguo rode the car fast and steadily on the road, and his work efficiency was extremely high.
