Chapter 10: A Sumptuous Dinner
Yao Weimin left Pigeon City with sixty-five yuan and two bicycle tickets.
When he was about to arrive at the warehouse of the purchasing station, he released the cart from the space and pulled it back to the warehouse.
"Hey, I'm back!"
The old man on duty in the warehouse couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw Yao Weimin rushing back so early.
"Well, smit, smoking."
Yao Weimin smiled and took out a big-brimmed hat and gave it to the old man, and the two went out of the warehouse and chatted for a while.
Seeing that it was already time to hold the lamp, Yao Weimin understood almost everything, so he said goodbye and left.
Back in the courtyard, he was carrying a hare and two large red-tailed carp in his hand, which immediately aroused the discussion of the neighbors.
In these years, it's meat and fish, and it's not going to be able to live!
"Look, I don't know what my last name is on the first day of work!"
"As the saying goes, if you can't eat and drink, you won't be poor if you can't calculate, and if you earn that melon and two dates a month, there will be a day when you can't eat!"
Yan Bugui sneered, but there was envy in his eyes.
"But, Dad, you live with calculations all day long, and I don't see that we can afford to eat meat."
Yan Jiekuang, who had just come back, muttered dissatisfiedly.
"You know the! I call it a long stream, and besides, the old Yao family is now three people working to make money, you are a muddy boy who knows how to play every day, and you still think about eating meat, hum! ”
Yan Bu entered the house with his hands behind his back in a noble manner.
Jiajia in the Intermediate Court.
Jia Zhang's Mrs. Jia opened the window and saw the fish and rabbit Yao Weimin was carrying, and swallowed her saliva greedily.
"Mom, what are you looking at?"
Qin Huairu was about to go into the house to cook with a foreign fire, and asked curiously.
"Humph! What else can I watch? Just look at how people are so big fish and meat, but I, an old woman, have to eat bran vegetables every day, and I can't even see some oil and water! ”
Jia Pozi's heart was full of greed, and her tone couldn't help but bring annoyance.
"By the way, did you borrow the stick noodles?"
"Well, but it's only two catties, I'm afraid it won't last until the end of the month......"
"Silly crutches lent to you?"
"Hmmm......"
"Humph! You'd better give me some eyes! What are you still doing? Go and see what Silly Guy brought back today, Dongxu hasn't eaten meat for a few days, you don't know! ”
"I'll ...... when I'm ready"
……
Yao Weimin carried the hare and carp into the house.
found that the whole family was there, and her mother Han Guifeng was washing wild vegetables, and it seemed that it was wild vegetable soup again at night.
"Mom, improve your food tonight, na!"
Yao Weimin smiled and lifted the hare and carp, and said loudly.
"Huh, Weimin, where did you get this?"
Han Guifeng put down the wild vegetables in his hand, wiped his hands on the apron, and approached with surprise on his face and asked.
Yao Zude next to him was also a little surprised, and looked at Yao Weimin with a slight frown.
"Wow! The second brother is really amazing, now we can eat meat at night! ”
The little sister Yao Hongfang clapped her hands excitedly, and her little face was red because of excitement.
"Second brother, you were paid on your first day at work?"
The eldest sister Yao Hongxia was also very excited, her face was full of incredulity.
And Yao Weiguo, who was sitting on the edge of the stove roasting his hands, just looked at it, did not move, and did not speak.
"Weiguo, don't be stunned, your brother is tired from work for a day, let him rest for a while, you come and pick up the hares and carp with your mother, and our family will have a good meal tonight, giggle......"
Han Guifeng shouted at the door, with a happy smile on his face.
"I made money on the first day of work, and I can't live at home anymore!"
Yao Weiguo muttered in a muffled voice, got up and went out to help.
The two younger sisters felt very fresh, and they also ran out to watch the excitement, and Yao Weimin and his father were left in the house.
"Wei Min, I remember that the money you brought back from the army was not spent on medical treatment?"
Yao Zude took a puff of dry cigarette and his face became serious, "You tell me honestly, how did this fish and rabbit come from?" ”
"I heard from your mother that you were assigned to the procurement station, this is the leader's respect and trust in you, you must not fool around, otherwise you will go to jail!"
"Dad, where do you want to go!"
Yao Weimin had already thought of his rhetoric, "I went to work today, and the leader asked me to go outside the city to deliver goods, and I met a fellow in the village who fell into the biogas digester, and it was my quick eye that rescued him, and they gave me these things in order to thank me." ”
"I said I didn't want anything, but that fellow didn't want to do anything, so he had to stuff it into my hand, so I had to bring it back in order not to delay the delivery."
Yao Zude put away his serious face when he heard this, but he still had a half-believing expression.
"How was your first day at work? Try to be proactive, don't let the leader have an opinion of you, you know. ”
He didn't forget to tell again.
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Yao Weimin nodded, knowing that his father was worried about him, and warmth welled up in his heart.
It didn't take long for the smell of meat to waft outside.
Han Guifeng's craftsmanship is still good, but he didn't have a chance to show it before.
The hare meat is braised and two carps chopped into large pieces are also braised in large pieces.
Northerners like thick oil red sauce when cooking vegetables, although this era can not reach thick oil, but put more soy sauce, it is also more fragrant.
The dish hasn't been served yet.
The two younger sisters were already sitting at the table and waiting.
With excitement in her eyes, she diligently set up the dishes and chopsticks for the whole family, just waiting for the big meal to be served.
After a while, Han Guifeng and eldest brother Yao Weiguo held a large bowl in their hands, which contained slow rabbit meat and fish meat, and served it steaming on the table.
Yao Zude also made an exception and took out half a bottle of liquor from the cabinet, and groped out three wine glasses from the bowl.
The whole family sits around and prepares for this sumptuous dinner.
"Dad, I'll come!"
Yao Weimin took the wine bottle, filled the three wine glasses, and handed it to his father and eldest brother.
"Dad, I'm officially on duty today, do we want to drink one?"
He said with a smile as he picked up his glass.
"Hmm." Yao Zude didn't say much, but he saw that he was really happy on his face, and drank the wine in the cup with a smile.
The eldest brother Yao Weiguo was a little dull, although he also drank the wine in the cup, he smiled a little reluctantly.
"Let's move the chopsticks, it won't taste good when it's cold later."
Han Guifeng beckoned everyone to eat, and then personally sandwiched a piece of rabbit meat for the two girls, "You two eat more, strive for it in the future, get admitted to a good university, and like your brother and them, find a good unit to work!" ”
"Mom, you can only count on my sister for this, but don't count on me."
The little sister Yao Hongfang nibbled on rabbit meat, and her voice was a little slurred.
"Dead girl, gave up so early?" Han Guifeng smiled and scolded dotingly, but he was not angry.
The two girls in their own family have not studied very well, and they don't have much hope to be honest.
"Dad, Mom, Junxiu's parents are going to have a meal with you this weekend."
Yao Weiguo sandwiched a piece of fish, lowered his head and ate it.
