Chapter 3: The Return
After returning to his yard. ...
Li Jianjian made a fire and cooked.
First, take out two potatoes, wash and peel them, and cut them into shreds to make a sour and hot shredded potato.
I cut half a small cabbage again, took out half a catty of pork belly, soaked some vermicelli, and made a pork cabbage stewed vermicelli.
This made the second uncle's eyes straighten.
Things like cabbage and potatoes aren't very valuable in the countryside, but meat is very valuable in the countryside.
Although some people in the countryside raise their own pigs, they are waiting to be sold.
Kill pigs during the New Year, at most leave some water, and keep one or two catties of meat for the New Year.
In other words, you can only taste the taste of meat during the New Year, which is much more bitter than these workers in the city.
After seeing Li Jianshe bring up the stewed vermicelli with shredded potatoes, pork and cabbage, he took two more eggs and prepared to go out to continue cooking.
The second uncle was frightened and hurriedly stopped.
"Either you have to eat these dishes. Eggs are not made, and this is not enough. ”
"Hey, your boss comes all the way to come, every time I go back to the countryside, I eat and drink at your house, you rarely come to the city, I can't entertain you."
Li Jianshe ignored the second uncle's stop, and fried two more poached eggs, and then served the table to prepare for dinner.
As a later generation, even if there is a shortage of materials in this era, Li Jianshe will try his best to make his life more comfortable.
Anyway, he is alone now, and his salary is not low a month.
If you spend it alone, you can live well in this era.
As for what to do after I have a wife?
I have a wife, and after the system is activated, are you still afraid that you will have no money?
"It's too extravagant, it's too loser!"
The second uncle looked at the sumptuous dishes on the table, even if it was the New Year, their family was reluctant to cook so many delicious dishes.
"Li Xiaowa, you can't live like this. Living like this, the gold and silver mountains will also be spent. ”
"Don't look at you as just a person now, you will marry a wife and have a baby in the future, and there are many places to spend money."
"Second uncle knows that you have a heart, but we can't finish these two dishes, so put away these two eggs."
"Tomorrow morning, I will have a little noodles, and I will have eggs on my back, and they will be fragrant."
The second uncle was a little moved when he saw this table of cabbage, but he still said critically.
He felt that Li Jianshe did have a heart for him, but he couldn't live like this.
For two people, one shredded potato and one fried cabbage are enough.
Pork and cabbage stewed vermicelli, this is already a top-notch hospitality, and it is a waste to make eggs again.
"Hehe, I don't even have a wife, let alone the children, it's early."
"Second uncle, come, drink!"
Li Jianshe said with a smile, took out a bottle of loose white as he spoke, and poured a bowl for the second uncle.
As for himself, he really didn't have much interest in this kind of liquor.
PS: I was on a business trip and forgot to bring my computer, so I didn't update.
This white is still left over from the last time when the predecessor borrowed wine to drown his sorrows, and Li Jianshe originally wanted to throw it away.
But after thinking about it, I still put it there, and this time I just took it out to entertain the second uncle.
Speaking of his wife, Li Jianshe suddenly remembered the first thing his second uncle said to him when he saw him before.
Do you want a wife?
At that time, Li Jianshe thought that he had heard this sentence, but now that he said this, Li Jianshe hurriedly asked.
"Second uncle, what did you tell me before, what wife is not a wife. By the way, you haven't told me what you're doing in the city this time? ”
The second uncle just picked up the small bowl, took a sip of wine, and was just about to pick up the dishes.
Hearing Li Jianjian's words, he remembered what he was doing, hurriedly put down his chopsticks again, and said to Li Jianjian.
"Li Xiaowa'er, do you want a wife?"
Li Jianshe confirmed that he really heard correctly.
The second uncle really asked him if he wanted a wife, and Li Jianshe felt a little confused.
Second uncle, buying and selling human beings is a crime!
Li Jianshe subconsciously said.
"What are you talking about, what are you talking about, it's human trafficking."
was said by Li Jianjian, and Li Dazhuan was not happy.
Is he that kind of person? He's clearly here to do good.
"There was a girl in the village who fled the famine a few days ago, and now she lives in our house."
"She's alone and wants to find a home."
"I'm not thinking that you're not too young, and you don't have a wife yet, so ask if you want a wife."
Li Dazhuan smiled and said to Li Jianjian.
"If you want, come back to the township with me tomorrow, and if it is appropriate, bring someone over, get married and live a good life."
"Your parents, I have an explanation."
Only then did Li Jianshe understand what the second uncle meant.
In this era, the productive forces were underdeveloped, not only in the cities, but also in the countryside.
Even now, most rural areas rely on the weather for food, and in the event of a major natural disaster, many people may go out to escape the famine.
Although nominally the peasants and workers are on the same footing, in reality the living conditions are far from the same.
In rural areas, even now, fleeing famine is a common thing.
However, Li Jianshe has no interest in this kind of thing.
He is not the former Li Jianjian, and it is not true that he can't marry a wife.
Why go all the way to find a country girl of unknown origin.
However, the second uncle also came from afar with good intentions, and Li Jianshe couldn't refuse directly, so he could only say.
"Second uncle, isn't Xiaozhu still married, why don't you introduce him to him."
Li Dazhuan has three sons and two daughters, and the three sons are called Dazhu, Erzhu, and Xiaozhu.
In this era, the names of rural and rural places were relatively arbitrary.
Among the three people, only Dazhu is older than Li Jianjian, and Erzhu and Xiaozhu are younger than Li Jianjian.
However, Dazhu and Erzhu are already married, especially Dazhu, who has two children.
"Xiaozhu is not married yet, but I have already found a partner for him in Zhangzhuang next door, and I am going to find someone to match him in the next year."
Li Dazhuan took out a dry cigarette and took a puff, and said to Li Jianjian.
"Why, this girl is not good-looking?"
At this moment, Li Jianshe really doubted how ugly the girl who fled was.
Even the least picky second uncle can't look down on it.
"What nonsense, this girl is white and clean, so good-looking."
Li Dazhuan knocked on the pole of the cigarette gun and shook out the soot inside.
"But this girl looks like a gentleman, she is a well-read, and she probably doesn't look down on our Xiaozhu, I can see this."
"And although this girl is good-looking, she has thin arms and thin legs, and she can't do farm work at first glance."
"Where can we raise such a girl in the countryside. And only you work in the city, have a salary, and can live. ”
"Although people are in trouble, we can't take advantage of people's danger."
"You are the second uncle who knows best, and the conditions are good, just right for that girl."
"You're not too young, it's time to get married, although the girl is estimated to be unable to do heavy farm work, but there is no problem with laundry and cooking."
"Say it for a long time, do you like it or not?"
Only then did Li Dazhuan notice that he had been talking all along, and asked Li Jianjian.
"Okay, then I'll go back to the countryside with you tomorrow."
Saying this, Li Jianshe also had some interest in his heart, and nodded and said.
"I haven't been back in a long time."
"But second uncle, if that girl is too ugly, I don't want it."
Li Jianshe said jokingly.
"Hey, other girls don't necessarily like you."
When the second uncle heard Li Jianjian's words, he rolled his eyes and said.
The two of them chatted while eating, and they were generally about some things that the girl told her second uncle.
