The younger brother is going to get married, and as the elder brother who has already separated from the family, he should express it to some extent.

This money is not for Xu Shide, but for the head of the family to help reduce the burden on his parents.

"Don't, you have taken it home a lot this winter, and the family has followed you a lot."

Zhou Guilan refused to take it, and hurriedly waved her hand.

"You go out to live on top of the door, you don't have a house to live in, your daughter-in-law still has a big belly, and she should have a baby in April next year.

You can use money everywhere, and you don't have much money in your hand, so keep it for yourself. ”

After Xu Shiyan dug up the ginseng for the second time, he secretly gave Zhou Guilan a hundred yuan, Zhou Guilan only mentioned it to Xu Chenghou, and no one else in the family knew about it.

This winter, the family has been eating meat, all of which Xu Shiyan asked people to send back, and now they have to give money to the family.

Zhou Guilan felt sorry for her son and refused to ask for it.

"Mom, Shiyan gives it to you, you can take it.

The two of us lived in the mountains, and we ate from the team, and it didn't cost much.

The family has a large population and a lot of expenses, and the fourth child doesn't know what to do with this marriage, and this little money may not help much.

If you don't take it, Shiyan should think that he gave too little. ”

Su Anying sat next to her mother-in-law and stuffed the money directly into Zhou Guilan's pocket.

My son and daughter-in-law said so, what else can Zhou Guilan do? I could only collect money.

"Oh, it's not early, hurry up and cook and eat.

You two eat here at night, but don't go back to work, you don't have anything on the other side. ”

When he looked up suddenly, he saw the clock on the wall, and seeing that it was almost four o'clock, he hurriedly beckoned the two daughters-in-law to cook.

"Linzi, you two hurry up and cook on the fire, stew sauerkraut at night, and heat up more sticky fire spoons."

Sticky fire spoon is a kind of food that Northeast people like very much.

Sticky grains, such as rhubarb rice, sticky millet, sticky sorghum, sticky bud rice, etc., soak in water for about a week and push the water mill.

Push out the sticky dough and come back with a cloth bag to control the excess water, and then use the sticky dough to make the skin, and wrap the bean paste inside and pat it flat.

Boil, put a pan in the pan, and then place the wrapped sticky spoon on the pan to cook.

The team's large fields are planted with budding rice and beans, and each family's self-reserved land and small land are generally used to grow millet, millet, sorghum, adzuki beans and other miscellaneous grains.

The Xu family is diligent, picks up a lot of small pieces of wasteland, and grows some millet and sticky millet every year, just keeping a sticky fire spoon.

Soak hundreds of catties of rice at a time, and sometimes you have to wrap it for several days just to wrap the sticky fire spoon.

Pick up the cooked sticky fire spoon and put it in the warehouse to freeze, pick up a pot when you eat, put it in the pot and steam it again.

Northeast people love to eat sticky, in winter wrapped sticky fire spoons, sticky bean buns, in summer sticky rats, sticky food digestion slow, anti-hunger.

Of course, there are also disadvantages, that is, people with a bad stomach eat less and are prone to heartburn.

The bean paste of the sticky fire spoon is sweet, and there is not so much white sugar in these years, and saccharin is put in it.

The sticky fire spoon with other dishes always feels that it is not quite right, and it only goes well with sauerkraut, so in the Northeast, most of the time I eat the sticky fire spoon with sauerkraut.

The little uncle didn't bring less food to the house in the winter, and today he sent back so much, although he is famous for keeping it for the banquet, in the end the family can also follow it.

Xue Xiulin and Wei Mingrong also changed their previous attitudes, they were extremely diligent, and as soon as their mother-in-law said it, the two of them immediately went to cook on the fire.

Su Anying felt that it was not good for her sisters-in-law to cook, and she was idle in the house, so she also went to the kitchen, but was chased back by the two sisters-in-law.

"You're pregnant with a child now, just wait for dinner honestly, and you still need to do this little work?"

In this way, Su Anying was driven back to the East House and accompanied Zhou Guilan to talk and chat.

Over there, Xu Shixian also called Xu Shiyan to Beikang, and the brothers chatted.

"Old Five, do you have any plans next?"

Xu Shixiang took the college entrance examination before, but the review time was too short, and his grades were not good, so he was not admitted.

"I still want to review and take the exam again, but my father is not happy."

Xu Shixiang was sick a few days ago because of the failure of the college entrance examination, and now he is still wilting, with a few bubbles at the corners of his mouth, and he is quite hot at first glance.

"Well, review well and take the exam again next year. This year is too short, and it's normal to fail the exam. ”

In the summer of seven or eight years, Xu Shixiang took the college entrance examination again and was admitted to Tonghua Agricultural School, which is considered a secondary school.

After graduating two years later, he was assigned to Xinglong Commune as a civil affairs assistant.

Later, he slowly entered the finance office, transferred to Yushu Township as the deputy head of the township, and finally entered the county forestry workstation as the station chief.

It can be said that Xu Shixiang is the best of the five brothers in the Xu family.

"Third brother, you have to help me talk to our father, our father will listen to you now.

You don't know when you're not at home, but he's always praising you in front of us. Xu Shixiang smiled reluctantly, with a hint of pleading in his tone.

Xu Shiyan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, "Our father praises me?" It's good if he doesn't scold me.

You listen to me, don't bother with our father, you should review and review, work hard to get out and go to college, what will change is a lifetime. ”

With the old man's temper, if he said it, he would definitely collapse, and he didn't want to find that trouble.

In his previous life, without his persuasion, wouldn't the fifth child take the college entrance examination differently?

Xu Shixiang was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed, "Well, I think so too." ”

It's been a long time since the brothers have gathered together to talk, and it's very lively to talk and laugh together.

Of course, there are also significant changes.

In the past, Xu Shiyan listened to his brothers silently and occasionally said a word, but now, it is the brothers who surround him.

kept asking about the situation of watching ginseng and hunting in the mountains, especially when it came to hunting, the brother's eyes lit up.

"Third child, let's go up the mountain another day?

Let me tell you, a few days ago I went to work in the forest farm and saw a Tiancangzi, but I didn't tell anyone.

Just waiting for you to come back, let's go up and kill Cangzi. Xu Shi'an looked excited and eager to try.

Last time, the bear bile of the black blind man was sold for 400 yuan, and the two brothers shared 200 each.

Xu Shi'an only gave his mother a hundred, and kept the rest for himself.

Originally, he wanted to go up the mountain to find Xu Shiyan to hunt together, but was stopped by Wei Mingrong.

How can there be so many black blind people in the mountains? Some wild boars alone are useless, they can only be eaten and not sold for money, so it is better to work in the forest farm to earn some money.

Xu Shi'an couldn't screw his daughter-in-law, so he had no choice but to go to the forest farm to work.

As a result, Xu Shi'an didn't deal with their trumpet boss, and quarreled with others the day before yesterday, and went home in a fit of anger.

Fortunately, after working in the forest farm for a while, he found a very hidden black blind barn.

If he could kill this Tiancangzi and get another bear bile, he wouldn't have to look for work anymore.

"Second brother, are you right?" When Xu Shiyan heard this, he also came to his senses.

He wished he could kill a few more black blind people and make more money, and there would be more places to use the money in the future. "Where?"
