34 meat buns, big brother Wang Wen
In the rural areas of Lindu in 1986, the income of farmers was mostly very low.
Some farmers work in forest farms, or some people who are more flexible and courageous have higher incomes, while most others can only rely on the output of the fields.
There is a lot of land in the Northeast, but the yield per mu is also very low.
Workers can earn 2~3 yuan a day, during this time Wang Yuan thought carefully, at least most of the farmers in Wangjiatun are far from earning this money by farming, and their income is very, very low.
So 10 dollars is not a small amount of money.
Sending the third aunt away, Wang Yuan hung the roe deer leg in the well, and the low temperature in the well could delay the decay of the roe deer leg.
He plans to go to the city tomorrow.
"Second brother, eat grapes." The little girl carried a small stool, picked a bunch of grapes from the grape trellis, and wanted to give it to Wang Yuan to eat.
There is a grape trellis on the east side of the yard, and the bunches of purple-red grapes are very beautiful, and I eat next to the grape trellis every evening.
"Well, that's sweet." Wang Yuan grabbed a grape and put it in his mouth, spit out the grape skin and threw it to the chicks: "Where are our parents?"
"Go to the third uncle's house."
"Okay, there are too many third uncles' families, maybe I didn't see it."
After a while, my parents came back, still carrying the roe deer meat they had received, and they had planned to make vegetable buns at noon, but now they can make meat buns.
It was past 12 noon.
Mother Wang took the unburned firewood out of the stove and inserted it into the ash pile outside the door, and then when she came back and lifted the lid of the pot, a fragrance rippled in an instant.
"Meow Meow~"
"Wang~"
The big white cat and the big wolf dog are walking around the house, and they also want to eat meat buns.
"There is too much alkali, and a few buns are yellowed." Wang's mother picked up the buns onto the grate and served them to the table.
A bite of green onion dipping sauce, a bite of meat buns, full of happiness.
"It's delicious, it's delicious." Wang Yuan was not too hot, he sat cross-legged next to the kang table and took a big bite of dry rice, and the bun filling was very fragrant.
"Eat slowly, there's more." Mother Wang broke open a bun and handed half of it to the little girl.
"Mmmm, the roe deer meat has been made into buns?"
"No, there is still some minced meat left, which can be eaten with ravioli...... Xiaoyuan, after dinner, you can ride your bike and send some meat buns to your sister and your eldest brother. ”
"yes, okay."
At the kang table at home, there are three people: Wang's mother, Wang Yuan and the little girl.
Wang's father drinks at the third uncle's house, the eldest brother works in the township, and the eldest sister attends high school in the county.
Then.
There was a shout from outside the house, and it was my cousin Wang Hu who came over: "Auntie, brother is going to eat over there."
Wang Hu lifted the curtain and entered the house.
Mother Wang smiled: "There are too many people over there, we can't go, Huzi, you can eat a meat bun here."
"Okay, I'll taste half of it." Wang Hu smiled, he seemed to have drunk wine, his face was very red, and he had a bit of a big tongue when he spoke.
He was sent out by the third aunt, and out of politeness, he asked Wang's mother and the three of them to go there for dinner, and after making sure that the three of them would not go, he left after eating half of the meat buns.
Chat while eating.
Wang's mother said to Wang Yuan: "Your Aunt Hong is really angry, your third uncle and third aunt sent venison to her family, and they all kept a straight face."
Wang Yuan smiled: "If you don't want it, don't want it, why do you have to send it?" I feel like my third aunt didn't do anything wrong. ”
"You kid...... Anyway, it's your cousin's house. ”
Wang Yuan's grandfather has three brothers, Wang Yuan's grandfather ranks second, and Aunt Hong is the daughter-in-law of the eldest grandfather's family and the wife of her cousin "Wang Jianguo".
Wang's father and Wang Jianguo are cousins.
The blood relationship is very close.
It's just that...... It's not too pleasant to get along.
Wang Yuan has studied in high school, and his academic performance is quite good, he can take the top three in a class of more than 50 people, and occasionally he can take the first place in the class, even if he occasionally plays abnormally, he has never fallen out of the top 10.
It's a pity - in the first year, two of them were admitted to the university, and Wang Yuan missed the university.
He was unwilling to repeat his studies for another year, but his grades in the second year were not as good as in the first year.
Wang Yuan couldn't forget that when she knew that he still hadn't been admitted to college in the second college entrance examination, Aunt Hong almost laughed, and her eyes seemed to say-I knew that your kid couldn't pass the exam.
And his own uncles and aunts all comforted him, full of pity, and did not gloat.
So Wang Yuan hates Aunt Hong very much.
After eating, Wang Yuan wanted to lie on the kang and squint for a while, but the little girl was not sleepy at all, crawling around like a puppy, and Wang Yuan couldn't sleep.
He casually played the little girl's brain, and as a result, the little girl cried.
……
The meat bun has both white flour and roe deer meat, which is a good thing, so Wang's mother asked Wang Yuan to send some to his sister and eldest brother.
Pushing a bicycle from my grandfather's house, hanging a bamboo basket on the right side of the back seat, and Mama Wang put two bags of meat buns in it, in addition to a jar of pickles:
"Xiaoyuan, ride slowly on the road and come back early."
"yes, I see."
Seeing the little girl dragging his clothes to climb on him, Wang Yuan immediately bent his fingers and made a gesture to play her, so frightened that the little girl hurriedly covered her head, stupid and cute.
Kicking and straddle his legs, Wang Yuan sat firmly on the back seat of the 28-bar bicycle, said hello to Wang's mother and walked away quickly.
The breeze was blowing in my ears and it was very cool.
Occasionally, there was a truck from the forest farm booming ~ driving by, running very fast like rushing to reincarnate, he hurriedly dodged to the side of the road, and waited for the dust to dissipate a little, before holding his breath and riding fiercely.
Soon after, I came to the township and met my eldest brother in the courtyard of the township government.
Wang Wen, 22 years old, wearing a gray tunic and carrying an enamel jar, was a little surprised by Wang Yuan's arrival, but then there was silence.
"Brother, my mother's steamed meat buns I sent you, roe deer meat filling." Wang Yuan said with a smile.
After being silent for a long time, the eldest brother made an "um" sound and stretched out his left hand to take the bun.
"That's okay, I'm leaving, and I'm going to the county seat to deliver meat buns to Xiaoqing." Wang Yuan saw that the eldest brother had nothing to say, so he pushed his bicycle and walked outside the township government.
The township government is a farm compound, all of which are bungalows, and there are a few vegetable furrows in the corner, I don't know if the person who pulls the seedlings for the vegetable furrow is the deputy mayor or something.
"Wait a minute."
Knowing that Wang Yuan was going to the county seat to see his sister Wang Qing, a glint appeared in the eyes of the eldest brother Wang Wen.
He hurriedly returned to the dormitory, and soon walked out again, handing Wang Yuan 5 tickets in Wang Yuan's puzzled eyes.
"You can help me transfer the 5 yuan to Xiaoqing, so that she doesn't save too much and eats better."
"Uh-huh, okay."
After hesitating slightly, Wang Wen said slowly: "Tell her again, only by studying hard can you change her fate, don't learn from her eldest brother, and don't learn from her second brother."
"Second brother" Wang Yuan said with a helpless face: "Brother, I know."
Before, the eldest brother Wang Wen had high hopes for Wang Yuan, but unfortunately Wang Yuan disappointed him, and he was disappointed twice!
It's okay to be disappointed twice, according to Wang Wen's meaning, he very much hopes that Wang Yuan will continue to repeat the third year, if he can't pass the exam in the third year, then repeat the fourth, fifth, and sixth years......
Even he made it clear that he was willing to give Wang Yuan tuition, miscellaneous fees and living expenses.
Pity......
Wang Yuan still dropped out of school.
Since then, Wang Wen has been reluctant to deal with him, and he is too lazy to talk to him.
