Text Chapter 9 Fried Rice

"Mathematics 15, Nature 23, Music 80, Fine Arts 17, Moral Character 54...... Only 9 points in Chinese!! Shen Anyi held the report card and couldn't believe her eyes, "You did it on purpose?" ”

Ning Guang shook his head.

"Then how is it possible to take such a test?! It's impossible to just choose with your eyes closed!! If it weren't for the fact that when she was called to the office by the teacher to help correct the papers after the exam, she saw Ning Guang's test papers with her own eyes, and Shen Anyi almost thought that the two of them were not doing the same set of papers.

Looking down at the exam papers with full marks on the table, as well as an expected certificate of merit for three good students, she took a deep breath and calmed down before asking, "Did you not listen to my words at all, and you didn't want to go to university at all, just thinking about staying in this countryside for a lifetime and serving your whole family for a lifetime?!" ”

"......" Ning Guang was silent, his head lowered, and his worn sneakers were scratching around on the ground.

Shen Anyi was angry, and the more she spoke, the higher her voice was, but she didn't seem to hear a word, thinking that if she was at home, Mu Yan and they would definitely come up and slap her when she saw her doing this, saying that she would not be happy if she didn't break her shoes.

Thinking that these shoes were bought by my aunt Ning Yuemei, because they were small and couldn't be returned, their toes were pinched after barely wearing them for a while, so they could only be sent to Ning Guang, and she was too big to wear, and said at the time, "It's big, it's easy to fall off when walking", Ning Yuemei pouted and said: "Ah, how squeamish and noble are you, and you still have to wear the same big shoes?" Who of us didn't make do with it? It's up to you! ”

Ning Yue'e also felt that her daughter was embarrassed by saying this, and then scolded: "What are you when you are!" Your aunt gave you shoes to wear, I don't know how to be grateful, and I picked and choosed? ”

"This person is really born into three, six, nine and so on." Ning Yuemei turned her head and said to her sister, "I met An Yi of Zhao Xia's family on the way here just now, sure enough, the beautiful head in the city is different, dressed so magnificently, I politely called Auntie when I saw me, I touched a handful of fried soybeans and gave it to her, I refused to ask for it at first, put it in her pocket, and said thank you!" That beautiful head looks different, and there is no comparison in the village. ”

"Their beautiful head will definitely go to college in the future." Ning Yue'e said as a matter of course, "We compare ourselves with her, aren't we looking for our own guilt?" ”

After saying this, he hurriedly looked inside, for fear that Mrs. Chu would hear it and run out to scold her for not being angry and destroying her prestige...... Although Ning Yue'e doesn't feel that her current home has any prestige at all?

At this time, Ning Guang thought, maybe Mu Yan was right to say to her aunt, some people are born to go to college.

Some people are born to farm and suffer.

The former is like Shen Anyi, and the latter is like herself.

“…… Think for yourself! Shen Anyi said bitterly for a long time, and when she saw that she was still wandering in the world, she slapped the table angrily, forgot to take her papers and awards, and angrily picked up her schoolbag and left!

She went back angrily, and Kong Huamei, who was sitting at the door choosing vegetables, saw that she was busy and asked, "An Yi, what's wrong?" Who bullied you? Someone bullied you and told your grandmother that your grandmother asked your uncle and cousin to settle accounts with them! ”

"No one bullied me." Shen Anyi dropped a sentence depressedly and went into the house.

Kong Huamei raised her voice to ask a few words, but seeing that her granddaughter didn't reply, she didn't take it seriously, so she shook her head and continued to choose vegetables.

This day is the day when I go to the village elementary school to get the transcript at the end of the semester, and after getting the transcript, I will have winter vacation.

Kong Huamei didn't pack up a basket of vegetables, so she saw her grandson Zhao Liguo, Zhao Weiguo and her granddaughter Zhao Qin walking into the yard on tap, followed by Zhao Jianguo, Zhao Liang and Zhao Xiaoying of the same clan. came in to say hello to her, and asked Shen Anyi: "Where is Anyi?" She's supposed to be back, right? Let's take a look at her certificate. ”

The Zhao family is a big family in Chaoyang Village, and there are many children in this generation, and most of the people in the village are surnamed Zhao.

But Zhao Fuliang has never had any talent for reading, and occasionally winning a certificate is almost all in sports.

At this time, it is not all an excuse to look at Shen Anyi's award, of course, the main purpose is to be close to Shen Anyi.

"An Yi got the certificate?" Kong Huamei was surprised and said, "Is that someone at school who is not convinced and bullied her?" When I came back just now, my face was not very good, but now I have run up. ”

"Who dares to bully her!" Zhao Liguo frowned when he heard this, he was actually reluctant to come, one is that boys of his age prefer to play with boys, and he thinks girls are too squeamish, Shen Anyi is this kind of delicate person who looks at it, and he is his aunt's heart and soul, he doesn't dare to offend, and he knows how tired it is to get along, if it weren't for Uncle Mu Yan's force, he really didn't want to come.

The second is that he has always felt that his house is the same as his own home, and he will rummage things everywhere when he comes. It's okay downstairs, Zhao Xia and Shen Anyi's room upstairs did this twice, the first time Zhao Xia pulled her ears and scolded all the way downstairs, and when she went back, she was brought over by Mu Yan and Abo's mixed doubles to apologize.

Another time was that after Zhao Xia left, she felt that her cousin Shen Anyi was so confused, and turned over her two packs of plums and a fountain pen, but Shen Anyi was furious on the spot, claiming to call Zhao Xia, and the frightened Kong Huamei took a mallet directly from the kitchen and beat Zhao Liguo in front of her, so that she could stabilize her granddaughter.

After that, Zhao Liguo didn't have a good impression of this cousin, and felt that like his aunt Zhao Xia, he looked down on the countrymen, and he was domineering and ruthless, and his cousin had to make a fuss about her something...... It's just an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!

Of course, he didn't dare to say these words, otherwise he would definitely be beaten up, and at this time, he saw Grandma looking at him worriedly, and shrugged, "I heard that she slapped the table with Ning Guang next door, and it is estimated that she quarreled with Ning Guang?" ”

"It's okay to have a quarrel." Kong Huamei was happy when she heard it, and lowered her voice and said, "It's not that my family doesn't have brothers and sisters...... I said your aunt is confused, and she still has to be anxious with me! Take a look, this little year's digging out of the heart and lungs, getting a white-eyed wolf out, and getting angry with yourself. ”

As he was talking, he heard Shen Anyi say behind him: "Grandma, cousin, cousin, cousin and cousin are here?" ”

"Yes, Anyi." Kong Huamei was a little embarrassed, but immediately said, "You guys are on vacation, so let's have fun together." Grandma will bring you something to eat! ”

Shen Anyi said: "Grandma, I don't want to eat those snacks at home, what is the one selling outside?" I haven't seen it. ”

Kong Huamei asked suspiciously: "Someone from outside to sell something?" I didn't hear the shouting. ”

"It's for fried rice." Zhao Liang, who was closest to the courtyard gate, ran out to look at it when he heard this, and came back and said, "I'm building the stove, it is estimated that I will start frying it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, no wonder I didn't shout." This thing is available every year and in this season, and I used to bring it to my aunt in the city, Sister Anyi, haven't you eaten it? ”

Shen Anyi shook her head: "It is estimated that I will bring less, my mother said that the delicious food should be eaten by my grandparents first." ”

"......" The people in the courtyard except her were speechless when they looked at each other, although everyone was not very rich these days, but fried rice ...... People who are not particularly poor are not as careful as liver babies, and they are reluctant to let their daughters take more when they go back to their parents' homes.

Especially the Zhao family should not be too stammering with the in-laws in the city, if Zhao Xia is too little, it is estimated that they can not eat it themselves, and give it all the fried every year!

Eighty percent of Zhao Xia was disgusted with the rustic and unclean, and after taking it out of the village, she either threw it away or gave it away casually, and she didn't bring it back to her home in the city at all.

"Anyi, do you want to eat?" Kong Huamei sighed, stood up and patted the dust on her body, "I want to eat grandma to fry you." ”

After walking a few steps, I asked Zhao Liang who came to fry this year?

Zhao Liang said he didn't know: "It's a fresh face, and I borrowed the shed of Uncle Jiu's house." ”

They have the custom of making cakes with fried rice during the New Year, which is generally boiled maltose after the wheat is harvested, which is very labor-intensive and material-consuming, and more energy-consuming. Generally, if you don't have children at home and love children, adults don't do it. Because they need to stare at the fire and the pot all night, at least the two adults have to stay around the stove for a day and a night.

This is still an old driver, the more skilled kind.

It's not uncommon to stay up for a day and a night and finally waste time, energy, and materials.

The boiled maltose is packed up in a basin, covered with plastic paper or something, etc., and when the winter vacation begins, there is nothing to do in the field, at this time, people who have fried rice skills will bring the guy over, find a big village foot, borrow a place to temporarily build two earthen stoves, put two large iron pots up, and put iron sand and other businesses in one of them.

People who want to fry rice should bring washed glutinous rice or sun-dried cold rice to fry, and the price is not expensive, and it looks like a few cents a catty.

The finished product needs to be turned three times between the two pots, and after the pot is out of the pot, it is charred and snow-white, which looks very appetizing.

Then there is a craft, and then use maltose to make fried rice cakes, with peanuts called peanut cake, and with sesame seeds called sesame cake...... At this time, there were not so many pastries in the store in later generations, and the New Year's Festival to entertain relatives was fried rice soaked in brown sugar water, plus various fried rice cakes.

Because there are few snacks, almost every household in Murakami will go to fry some at this time of year.

Many children have nothing to do, so they simply gather around the pot and play around...... Of course, it will be blown away by the people who fry the rice, so as not to have an accident.

But during this time, next to the stove of fried rice must be the liveliest place in the village.

"Your Ninth Uncle's house is diagonally opposite us." Kong Huamei frowned when she heard this, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep at night." ”

The processing fee for fried rice is paid by catty, not by time.

Therefore, people must be in a hurry to finish the fire in Chaoyang Village and nearby people, so that they can clean up and go to other villages to make another sum of money before the Spring Festival arrives.

Staying up late is commonplace.

Even sometimes there are many people who come out, change shifts with each other, and they all work all night.

"That's not really anything to eat." Zhao Liguo has no interest in fried rice, because Zhao Xia has subsidized her mother's family a lot after entering the city, and the pastries for the New Year's holidays have never been broken. ”

However, Shen Anyi had never tasted fried rice, and insisted on letting Kong Huamei fry a little.

"The rice has to be left to dry overnight before it can be fried." Kong Huamei looked at the disappointed grandchildren and said, "You can take a few bites of plum candy first, ah?" ”

Shen Anyi went upstairs and took the plum candy down and gave it to Zhao Liguo, but she didn't play with these cousins as Kong Huamei wished, but ran out to watch the excitement with great interest.

When Kong Huamei saw it in the kitchen, she called Zhao Liguo to go out and look at her cousin: "Don't let her get too close to the stove, don't let others bully her." ”

Zhao Liguo was unwilling, and kicked his sister Zhao Qin: "You should go for this kind of pug thing." ”

Zhao Qin actually really wanted to go, because she saw that Shen Anyi didn't eat plum candy herself, and a few pieces were in her pocket.

If you go out, you may be able to coax it, but when my cousin says so, if she goes, won't she become a pug? At this age, the child already knows self-esteem, and immediately frowned: "I won't go, you have to be a dog and go by yourself!" ”

Shen Anyi outside didn't know about this, and she wouldn't take it to heart if she knew, she was instilled by Zhao Xia with the idea that "these cousins of yours are not a good thing", and she didn't want to be with these people because of her preconceived notions.

Zhao Liguo's performance was not enough for her to shake her trust in her mother, so she really didn't get along with these relatives.

I thought that now several children have come over to watch people fry rice, I wonder if Ningguang will also come out?

She threw Ning Guang in the classroom just now and ran back, and she regretted it a little now.

And Ning Guang is now worried about the torn book: "This book is awarded by the school An Yi, and you made it look like this, how can I explain to An Yi?!" ”

Ning Zong was a little worried about Shen Anyi, the only one who had beaten him and hadn't paid any price: "You won't say that you didn't tear it yourself?" Anyway, she has such a good relationship with you, and the family has money, will she worry about you for such a book? Even if you really care about it, you just let her beat it, anyway, there is no book. ”

He knew that the award certificate and notebook that Ning Guang got back were Shen Anyi's things, so he wouldn't touch them.

At this time, there was a gong outside, and someone pulled his throat and said that he had come to the stall to fry rice, hoping that the old folks would have a show, and if there was any slackness, they would discuss it well, and everyone would make money in harmony.

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he shouted to Mrs. Chu by his throat: "Madam, I want to eat fried rice!" ”
