Chapter 244: The Courtyard Dinner
After intense exercise, people are often mentally exhausted.
Li Weidong slept until more than two o'clock in the afternoon, until he was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.
"Weizi, are you at home?"
Li Weidong then remembered that he made an appointment with Silly Zhu to come to the house in the afternoon to cook red deer.
Seeing the mess on the bed, he hurriedly got up and pushed Yu Li, who was sleeping: "Wake up." ”
"Don't ...... I'm almost exhausted. Yu Li closed her eyes, shook her head and turned over, and her long legs rested on Li Weidong's body.
Oh, you want to fight with me, it's still too tender!
Li Weidong's cold hand reached into the quilt and stuck to Yu Li's hot body, waking her up.
"The stupid pillar is here, get up quickly."
Yu Li was tossed awake, got up in her stomach, and was about to get angry.
Hearing this, he hurriedly sat up and got dressed.
"Oh no, sleeping in broad daylight and being seen by the stupid pillar, he must have to laugh at us."
"You think too much, Silly Zhu played with Han Zhizhi more than us a while ago, he can understand." Li Weidong disagreed.
After the two got dressed, Li Weidong walked to the hall and opened the door, letting the stupid pillar into the house.
Sure enough, Silly Zhu snorted, and just said with a smile: "Weizi, you can do it!" He turned his attention to the red deer.
Just glanced at it, and the stupid pillar exclaimed: "This red deer is so fat!" ”
The red deer was placed on the table, and the stupid pillar circled around the table, and looked up at Li Weidong: "Weizi, the skin of the red deer is a good thing, make it into a leather coat and wear it on your body, you will not feel cold when you sleep in the snow nest at night." ”
Li Weidong has a perennial sports car and just needs a coat to protect him from the cold, so he nodded and said: "Then please try to keep the skin intact when you will open your stomach." ”
"You, don't worry!" Silly Zhu picked up the pig-killing knife and cut open the belly of the big red deer in three or two clicks.
Then, he took the tip of the knife and aimed it at the faint gap between the fur and the flesh, and his wrist shook slightly, and the tip of the knife went deeper and deeper into the gap little by little.
With a slight prickly sound, the fur peeled off.
The stupid pillar cut a circle around the deer's hooves and neck, and a whole fur was torn off.
Then the meat is dissolved.
Silly Zhu looked serious, and took the butcher knife to work on the big red deer for a while, and all the meat of the big red deer was shaved off.
Li Weidong asked Yu Li to bring the enamel basin and put the meat pieces into the enamel basin.
Sprinkle the salt of the bus on it, it's winter, the temperature is low, and if you salt it, the meat will at least last next spring.
Silly Zhu was busy working in the house, and the house was also crowded with people, and everyone's eyes were shining with envy.
With such a large piece of meat, you only need one piece to live a prosperous year.
It's just that the big guys are not embarrassed to speak, after all, there are not too many people who have no face and no skin.
If others don't speak, it doesn't mean that Jia Zhang has no ideas.
She swallowed two mouthfuls of spit, squeezed out of the crowd, and said to the stupid pillar who was busy working: "Silly Zhu, the eldest mother has never eaten venison, you quickly cut a piece of venison for the eldest mother, not more, seven or eight catties will be fine." ”
Silly Zhu was stunned by Jia Zhang's words, rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you give you all this meat?" ”
Jia Zhangshi saw that the stupid pillar was disobedient, so he was so angry that he spat at the mouth: "What a fool, such a big deer, you cut a piece of meat, can Li Weidong still know?" ”
Silly Zhu stuck the butcher's knife into the flesh and shook his head: "Aunt Jia, look at what you said, Weizi is my brother, can I do this kind of bad thing?" ”
Jia Zhang still wanted to continue to scold the stupid pillar, but at this time, Li Weidong came out of the back room with a jar of salt, and she hurriedly set her eyes on Li Weidong.
Li Weidong had already heard the commotion outside in the back room.
In fact, such a big deer is nothing to give someone a little meat.
It's just that Jia Zhang's way of speaking is too annoying.
Li Weidong didn't wait for Jia Zhang's to speak, so he walked over and looked down at Jia Zhang's with a three-story attitude: "Aunt Jia, I've heard that your daughter-in-law won't let you visit the door now, you say, if Qin Huairu knew that you were not at home and came here, what would she do?" ”
Hearing this, a trace of fear flashed in Jia Zhang's eyes, and he muttered: "Damn Li Weidong, sooner or later I will catch your horse's feet", and walked away in ashes.
Her guarantee is still in Qin Huairu's hands, and she is afraid that Qin Huairu will really drive her back to Jiajiazhuang.
.......
A big red deer, in the busyness of the silly pillar, was completely untied.
The meat was cut into strips by Yu Li, sprinkled with salt and dried on the beams, and what to do with the remaining plate of chops made Li Weidong a little nerve-wracking.
He looked at the residents outside the door and suddenly came up with a good idea.
"Daughter-in-law, what do you think we can use these miscellaneous pieces to have a banquet for the whole hospital?"
"Huh?! Invite all the residents of the compound to eat..... Is it really good? Yu Li asked worriedly.
Li Weidong said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's just make a little bit of miscellaneous, those residents also have something, besides, we don't lack this bit of clutter, the relationship between neighbors is also very important in these years, if you want to continue to be promoted in the future, you must deal with the relationship with neighbors."
Also, you are now the second master in our compound, and you just have to make some achievements and let the street office take a look.
”
Li Weidong is not alarmist.
When the leader above the director of the rolling mill workshop is promoted, the ministry will send a working group down to investigate the person's reputation.
If his reputation is too bad at this time, and the neighbors speak ill of him, then sorry, even the neighbors can't unite, and you certainly can't do the leadership job.
Yu Li has always been convinced of Li Weidong.
His own man has never made a mistake, what he says, just listen to it.
Li Weidong walked outside the gate and said to the onlookers: "Everyone, our family Yu Li is the first time to be an uncle, and she has no experience.
Today I got a big red deer from somewhere else and decided to treat the big guy to a bowl of hot chop soup with those crumbs inside.
Chop soup, only chop is not enough.
I hope the big guys can contribute the vermicelli and greens.
Let's have a big dinner in the compound today. ”
When the residents heard that they could eat the chop soup, they were all interested and raised their hands in agreement.
"It's still Li Weidong's bright work, and I have two cabbages at home!"
"I have vermicelli at home, which was brought by the child's second uncle from the commune, and he is old."
"Mushroom lonely, my family is a little lonely, it was given to me by Xu Damao before...."
.......
Attracted by the chop soup, the residents began to get busy, and Silly Zhu changed from a butcher to a cook.
Yu Li is now the second master in the courtyard and began to give orders frequently.
"Liu Guangfu and Liu Guangtian, the two of you will take someone to build a pot stove."
"Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiecheng, you go find firewood."
Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu led a group of children to build a pot stove with bricks in the backyard, and the big black pot of the Silly Zhu family sat on the stove.
Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiekuang brought a bundle of firewood from the cellar.
Lighting a fire, lighting a fire, the courtyard is filled with the smoke of birds and birds, and it is full of the breath of life.
Yan Bugui didn't want to come to the backyard, but he couldn't stand the tempting fragrance, so he came over with his hands behind his back.
As soon as he entered the backyard, he was targeted by Qin Huairu.
"Yan Bugui, for this dinner, the residents have all contributed things, what about yours?"
"Huh?! I still have to contribute something....." Yan Bugui pursed his lips.
He secretly scolded in his heart, Qin Huairu, you just became an uncle, you took me under the knife, obviously you can't get along with me!
Qin Huairu's eyes widened: "Of course, my family is so poor, and I also donated a bottle of vinegar." Yan Bugui, you are a teacher, and you still have a bicycle at home, I don't want much, you can bring three or five catties of dried fish. Just to add a dish to the big guys. ”
When the residents heard Qin Huairu's idea, they all echoed it.
"That's it, there are so many fish in the three masters' family, three or five catties are nothing."
"The three masters have to lead by example!"
"The third master, you are a cultural person, and you always taught us in the past to unite our neighbors, don't make trouble at critical moments, you will drop the chain yourself."
.....
The crowd was full of gold, spitting stars and drowning people, and Yan Bugui could only grit his teeth and carry three fish from the house.
The moment he handed over the fish to Qin Huairu, his heart was bleeding.
......
With Yan Bugui's fish, Li Weidong's deer offal, and vegetable vermicelli contributed by the residents, under the superb cooking skills of Silly Zhu, a large pot of choppy soup was quickly stewed.
Adults and children lined up in front of the stove with bowls, and Jia Zhang was about to pick up the spoon, but was glared at by the stupid pillar: "Today's party was proposed by Wei Zi, and it stands to reason that Wei Dong should serve the soup first." ”
Li Weidong asked Silly Zhu to give the deaf old lady a bowl, and he personally came to the deaf old lady's house with the bowl.
The deaf old lady looked a little surprised when she saw Li Weidong coming to the door with a piece of soup.
When Li Weidong got married a while ago, the two had an unhappy quarrel.
Although Silly Zhu got married later, Li Weidong contributed, and the two only nodded when they met.
Smelling the rich fragrance, the deaf old lady couldn't care about pretending, and stood up on crutches.
"Weidong, let you serve it yourself, how embarrassed am I!"
"Deaf grandma, you are old and your legs and feet are not good, and the younger generation should serve you food." Li Weidong put the bowl on the table and said with a smile:
"Silly Zhu is also married now, Han Zhizhi's belly is bigger, and he will have a child soon, you should rest assured.
Now that Yi Zhonghai, the former uncle, has also stepped down, you don't have to worry about things in the compound anymore.
You, just wait to enjoy the blessings!
In the future, it will be good to eat and drink, and the ears should not be able to hear, and they will not be able to hear. ”
After speaking, Li Weidong nodded at the deaf old lady, turned around and walked out of the house.
Looking at the burly figure that disappeared into the sun, the deaf old lady's face became gloomy.
She knew that the reason why Li Weidong would serve her food was to warn her.
Let him take care of the affairs of the compound.
If in the past, the deaf old lady would have scolded at this time.
But as Li Weidong said.
Her "son" Yi Zhonghai was cleaned up.
The "grandson" stupid pillar is controlled by a wicked woman.
She was now like a tiger that had lost its teeth and claws, or an old and frail one.
Aggrieved!
......
A big gathering in the courtyard has brought the relationship between the residents of the courtyard a lot closer.
What Li Weidong didn't expect was that the next day, Director Wang of the Street Office heard about this incident and specially praised Qin Huairu and Yu Li.
They are praised for making the residents of the courtyard more united through this dinner, and they are a model for the surrounding compounds.
Since Qin Huairu came to the capital, it was the first time he was praised.
At noon, he took advantage of no one to reward Li Weidong severely.
In the evening, Li Weidong returned home and saw that Yu Li had been washed white and fragrant.
He felt a little weak in his calves.
.......
Following.
After two consecutive trips, Li Weidong returned to the rolling mill convoy ahead of schedule.
After talking to Niu Yong, he got on his bicycle and came to the street office.
Yu Li was chatting with her colleagues, and when she saw Li Weidong appear outside, she hurriedly smiled apologetically at her colleagues, and ran out like a little white rabbit.
"Why are you here at work?"
Li Weidong smiled: "Anyway, it's nothing, you ask Director Wang for a half-day vacation, and I'll take you to a good place." ”
Li Weidong's mysterious appearance aroused Yu Li's curiosity.
She said something to Director Wang, and then followed behind Li Weidong on a bicycle.
When she found out that Li Weidong took her to the department store, Yu Li was a little frustrated: "Our family doesn't lack anything, what are you doing in this kind of place." Even if you want to buy something, you should go to the pigeon market, where things are cheaper. ”
Li Weidong smiled and strode inside: "The things we want to buy this time are not sold in the pigeon market, you just follow me." ”
Yu Li's heart was full of doubts, so she could only follow behind Li Weidong.
What surprised her even more was that Li Weidong did not go to the counter, but walked through the back corridor and came to the warehouse.
Outside the warehouse.
Zhang Dongfang has been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Li Weidong, Zhang Dongfang hurriedly greeted him and said, "Did you bring the money and tickets?" Let me tell you, this month, our department store has allocated 10 units, and 9 of them have been ordered by the leaders. I begged my grandfather to tell my grandmother to help you keep this one. ”
Li Weidong knew that Zhang Dongfang did not say this to deliberately exaggerate his merits.
He took out two packs of cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed them into Zhang Dongfang's pocket.
"Thanks, brother."
"Huh... We don't like this. ”
Li Weidong held his hand and said, "You owe a lot of favors for this, just two packs of cigarettes, hurry up and put them away." ”
Zhang Dongfang saw Li Weidong's resolute expression and knew that he was not the kind of person who liked to play falsely, so he didn't push back again.
After entering the warehouse, Li Weidong gave Zhang Dongfang the tickets and money, and Zhang Dongfang turned around and came to the old man at the door and handed the tickets and money to the owner.
"Uncle Zhang, we're here to pick up the washing machine."
"It turns out that this washing machine is for you, I said who has such a big face!" The old man took a cigarette from Zhang Dongfang and issued a bill of lading.
Ten minutes later, when Li Weidong put the washing machine in front of Yu Li, Yu Li was a little dazed.
She stretched out her pink and white little hand and stroked the words "Shenyang Daily" on the washing machine box, and couldn't believe it for a while.
In this era, there is only one brand of washing machines in China, which is "Shenyang Daily".
It was developed by Shenyang Daily Electrical Appliances Research Institute.
Due to technical reasons, it was not mass-produced, but only for foreign-related hotels and high-class families.
You can't see it in the market at all.
After Li Weidong got the laundry ticket, he asked Zhang Dongfang to help him pay attention to it, and it took a whole month to wait.
Yu Li had only heard of washing machines before.
I heard that as long as this kind of machine is turned on and the dirty clothes are put in, the clothes can be cleaned with a "huhula" sound.
She's never seen it, though.
She didn't expect that she could have one, she was full of happiness, and took advantage of the time when Zhang Dongfang went out to arrange a tricycle, and winked at Li Weidong: "Brother Weidong, at night, I will serve you well." ”
Li Weidong: "................"
