Chapter 26: The Stove

"Where did this come from?" As soon as Wu Qingmei entered the door, she saw a small iron pot on the ground in the middle of the room, and asked excitedly.

If you want to say that it is good for her to leave the Meng family anywhere, it is that it is too inconvenient to cook rice, and they can't stir-fry and steam rice without a stove, and they can only eat liquid food these days.

Meng Youyou knew that Wu Qingmei must be happy, so he said, "I helped others, and others gave it to me." ”

She almost said that she bought it for two yuan, but when the words came to her lips and swallowed back, with Wu Qingmei's temperament, she was afraid that she might not be willing to ask for two yuan.

Even if two dollars is a small amount, it is a lot in terms of their current situation.

Wu Qingmei wanted to ask clearly, but seeing that Meng Youyou had already turned around and went out, she said as she walked, "Mom, come and see where to put the stove?" ”

Wu Qingmei knew that she didn't want to ask herself, so she could only rest her mind and follow, "I'll take a look." ”

The house is very small, which is a little larger than the location of a room in the countryside, so it is naturally not suitable to build a stove in the house, and it is not convenient to discharge the fumes from stir-frying.

Meng Youyou had to sigh at this time that the social security in this era was really good, especially in the village, these things were kept outside, and there was no need to worry about being stolen.

After all, if you don't look up and look down, it's embarrassing for people to find out.

Wu Qingmei chose a position to shelter from the wind, cleaned up the surrounding things a little, and began to command Meng Youyou to build the stove.

The mother and daughter were busy for a while, tired and sweaty, but looking at the stove that had been successfully built, not to mention how happy they were.

"Mom, there are a few catties of pork here, and the educated youth in the village asked us to help burn it," Meng Youyou wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

Taking out the pork from the bucket, she was afraid that the weather would be hot, so she specially brought a bucket of well water, put the meat in it and calmed it with water.

"Let's help?" Wu Qingmei was a little puzzled.

"They don't know how to get it," Meng Youyou replied truthfully, "Mom, you deal with this first, and I'll go pick up some firewood and come back." ”

Although Wu Qingmei still didn't understand why she let them get it, she still listened to her daughter's words, and went over to bring the pork and put it on the table, thinking about how to cook it.

"Why don't you eat?" It was already evening when Lu Yizhou came back from the production team, and everyone else had eaten, but Jiang Chuan sat on the steps alone and asked casually.

When he went to the kitchen just now, someone told him that Jiang Chuan hadn't eaten yet.

Jiang Chuan watched him go to the house and bring out a bowl with multigrain noodles and fried vegetables, he wanted to say something, but seeing him gobbling up, he swallowed it back again.

"I'll eat later," Jiang Chuan glanced at the direction of the courtyard gate and said, "Don't eat too much, be careful of accumulating food at night." ”

Lu Yizhou killed most of the bowl in a few bites, "I'm starving to death, won't you let me eat if you don't eat it?" ”

"Whatever you want," Jiang Chuan didn't say anything more, and asked again, "How's the matter going?" ”

Lu Yizhou raised his eyebrows at him, "Is there a time when I can't do it?" After speaking, no matter what Jiang Chuan said, he just got up and went back to the house to fill another bowl of noodles.

In one day, I went back and forth to the county four times, even if I was riding a bicycle, it was more than ten miles, and I was choking enough.

"You've finally done something decent," Jiang Chuan didn't skimp on his praise this time, and said with a smile.

Lu Yizhou also laughed, looked around, and then lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the policy on us has been loosened from above, and I am afraid that we will be able to return to the city soon." ”

"Don't talk nonsense," Jiang Chuan frowned and glared at him, "Take care of your mouth." ”

In fact, there have been rumors about this matter for a long time, and he heard some eyebrows during the New Year, but they have no right to put their beaks on how to do it, all they can do is wait quietly.

Lu Yizhou also knew that the matter was not trivial, so he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'll only tell you." ”

If this matter is spread out, it will be verified that the news leaked from his mouth will be verified later, but I am afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around, so Lu Yizhou also knows the stakes.

To be clearer, Jiang Chuan said that these were for his own good.

Jiang Chuan glanced at the bowl in his hand and saw that it was empty, so he couldn't help but smile, "I'll go out for a walk." ”

In normal times, Lu Yizhou would definitely accompany him, but today, he really didn't want to move, he just wanted to take a shower and lie down when he was full.

Hearing this, he just said, "You go." ”

Jiang Chuan stood up and walked out, and sighed when he left the courtyard gate, even Lu Yizhou heard the wind in the county seat, it seems that there is a good chance that things are true, but it is just a matter of time.

When he went to the countryside to cut the queue, Jiang Chuan could not use it, and each family could have a place to stay in the city, but he was too depressed to stay at home, so he simply followed Lu Yizhou.

Having been in this village for almost a year, Jiang Chuan even felt that he had adapted to the environment here, and if he returned to the city, he was afraid that he would not be used to it.

"Why are you here?" Meng Youyou walked over with a plate and asked, "Have you waited for a long time?" ”

Jiang Chuan didn't speak, just looked at her.

"I'm sorry, I have to wait for my mother to come back from work and build the stove first, it's not too early to get these ready," Meng Youyou was a little embarrassed, she seemed to have delayed some time.

At this point, the big guys seem to have already eaten dinner.

Jiang Chuan shook his head, "It's not been long, and I'm not very hungry." ”

Meng Youyou handed him the plate in his hand, "My mother burned it, I don't know if it suits your taste." ”

Xu hadn't eaten meat for too long, she tasted it when Wu Qingmei had just cooked it, and Meng Youyou only felt that it was a rare delicacy in the world, and it was so delicious.

It's just that she thinks it's one thing to be delicious, and she still has to say something modest.

Jiang Chuan knew what she was thinking as soon as he saw her expression, and couldn't help laughing, "It's definitely delicious, and don't worry, I won't pick it." ”

"Then you can take it back and eat," Meng Youyou didn't know what to say, only smiled, "I'll go back to eat too." ”

I didn't think it during the day, but I always felt that the atmosphere was weird tonight, Meng Youyou scratched his head, and wondered if he had said something wrong as he walked.

Lu Yizhou was just lying on the bed after taking a bath, and was about to fall asleep, when he saw Jiang Chuan coming into the house with a plate, and laughed, "I thought you didn't eat." ”

This room is only used by him and Jiang Chuan, and there are no others, so they talk and do things a lot more casually.

Jiang Chuan lifted the lid, and the smell of meat immediately filled the whole room, watching Lu Yizhou get up from the bed, and laughed loudly, "Can you still eat it?" I reminded you not to eat too much. ”

Lu Yizhou looked at the shiny braised pork on the plate and swallowed, "Jiang Chuan!" ”

Is that a reminder? his uncle's.
