Chapter 108: Chinese New Year
It is impossible for Hou Dalin to conjure a chicken in front of Zhong Yuemin, and he is not qualified to know Hou Dalin's biggest secret.
So, I had to go home with ten fish.
These fish were not his alone, and Hou Dalin asked him to help give them to several other partners.
It is not wrong to say that Hou Dalin deliberately befriended these people, he lived in the capital, and it was indispensable to use people. At this time, it is better to show goodwill and maintain friendship than to hold on to it in the future.
But if you want to talk about stuttering, you want to be happy, and if you deliberately greet you, you will lose the original intention of being happy.
Hou Dalin's family had a hearty meal today. Thanks to Hou Dalin's ability to get peanuts from time to time, there is no shortage of peanut oil at home. In Xiao Jiu's kitchen, there is a small manual hydraulic oil press.
This small oil press can squeeze three or four catties of peanuts at a time to produce about one pound of peanut oil.
Yesterday, Hou Dalin got some peanuts again, and as a unit welfare, even Zhang Fang was given three or four catties.
left one or two catties for the New Year, and she used Xiao Jiu's oil press to squeeze the rest of the oil.
Hou Dalin went home and made a sweet and sour fish as the finale of the day. The fragrance of this fish directly attracted a few small ones in the yard, and they ran to Hou Dalin's house one after another.
The two children of the second sister's family, plus the three children of Zhang Fang's family, directly filled half of the table.
"Mom, sister-in-law, why hasn't my dad come home yet? Why don't we eat it first, you see this fish is going to be cold! Wu Hong, the boss of the Wu family, shouted.
He is only thirteen years old this year, and he is the king of children in this group. Now under his leadership, the three older children of Zhang Fang's family are running around with him. Faintly and the group of children on the opposite side of the stick terrier have become a force of fire and water.
"You're greedy! No matter how hungry you are, you have to wait for me, your dad won't come back and won't eat! In the kitchen, Second Sister Qin broke Wu Hong's dream with a loud roar, looking at such a fragrant sweet and sour fish that could not be eaten, this was definitely a huge torture for several children.
"Wu Qian, go to the door to take a look, has our dad come back? When he came back, let him hurry to his aunt's house for dinner, we are all hungry and waiting for him, don't talk to people at the mouth of the alley! ”
Wu Hong instructed his sister to find someone, mainly since he moved here, every time he passed by the alley, someone stopped his father from reacting to the situation and chatting blindly. They always have to wait a long time before they can eat.
"I'm going to go to you, I'm not going, I'll smell it for a while." Besides, you don't even call me a sister, why should I listen to you? ”
"Sister, you're my own sister, go quickly, don't let him talk outside." Wu Hong felt that his saliva was about to drown him, and he could only succumb to this sister at this time.
Wu Qian wasted a lot of spirit before she took her eyes off the sweet and sour fish, and then ran outside without looking back.
As soon as she left, Wu Hong immediately dipped his chopsticks in the soup on the sweet and sour fish plate and put it in his mouth to instigate.
When the others saw him like this, they also did the same.
Second Sister Qin heard the sound in the living room when she was in the kitchen, but she just glanced at it and didn't pay attention to them.
Wu Qian walked out of the scrap yard, and sure enough, she saw her father chatting with the second uncle in the opposite yard again.
"Dad, hurry up and go home for dinner, the family is waiting for you!"
"Yo! Look at it, I'm patronizing to report to you, and I'm really sorry to delay Director Wu's dinner. The posture in the bangs made Wu Qian look down on him a little, why is this person so shameless.
"It's okay, nothing to delay. Don't listen to your child's nonsense. "Wu Fucheng is also annoying, but people can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and they still have to be polite.
"This is the eldest daughter of the leader, right? Where do you go to school? Liu Haizhong noticed Wu Qian again, so he inquired again.
"I read the first year of high school in the second middle school." Wu Qian replied, turned to Wu Fucheng again and said, "Dad, my aunt and my brother-in-law are waiting for you, let's go back quickly!" ”
Wu Fucheng nodded, then said a word to Liu Haizhong, and turned around and walked back.
There was no place for his bangs to move, he looked at Wu Qian who was walking back, and suddenly had other thoughts.
His youngest son is the same age as this girl, so maybe he can let the youngest son marry this girl. In that case, he will become in-laws with Director Wu of the DC district, wouldn't his official position be more stable!
Wu Fucheng naturally didn't know the lust in his bangs, he was just pulled by his daughter and walked back to Hou Dalin's house quickly.
Today's holiday, the two families naturally have to eat together.
As I said before, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is eaten at the second sister's house, so Xiao Nian's meal is at Hou Dalin's house.
"Brother-in-law, are you back? Quick, wash your hands and eat, you see that these little ones are in a hurry, and the halazi is almost half a bowl. ”
Wu Fucheng is also smiling, he likes the family atmosphere now. Especially Hou Dalin's brother-in-law, as he deepened his understanding, he became more and more satisfied.
Wu Fucheng sat down at the table, and the whole family was all together. Although there were three more children of Zhang Fang's family, Wu Fucheng and Hou Dalin didn't care.
First, Zhang Fang is the accountant of the scrap yard and can be regarded as his own person. Second, the family's tutoring is very good, and several children are very likeable. Besides, calling her children for a meal during the New Year is a matter of adding a few pairs of chopsticks.
Hou Dalin and Wu Fucheng drank a cup and sandwiched a chopstick dish, and the children started to move. For a while, the entire table became a battlefield, not to mention, looking at the eating appearance of these children, Hou Dalin suddenly felt more appetizing.
The little ones eat faster and are full faster. Half of the dishes on the table were wiped out, and the children ate a few more plates of dumplings and could no longer eat them.
If they can't eat, they run out to play again, and the entire outer courtyard becomes their battlefield.
Listening to the laughter of the children, the adults also felt comforted. New Year, what you want is a lively, although it is not the Chinese New Year's Eve, but the small year is also the year!
Hou Dalin and his second brother-in-law had a few drinks and began to chat.
"Dalin, how is the diesel engine you got it? Has there been any recent progress? ”
"Well, the progress is very fast, Professor Zhang didn't say that the design work has basically been completed." Hou Dalin said this, but in fact, the real situation is that Hou Dalin has done a lot of work silently.
They know this Professor Zhang, but Hou Dalin does it very cleverly, always proposing an almost perfect plan when he needs an idea.
Originally, single-cylinder diesel engines were also imported from China. The main reason for this redesigned new model is that it is simple in structure, easy to manufacture, easy to maintain, wide in application, easy to use and fuel-efficient!
Especially after the implementation of the policy of package production to households, a tractor using this diesel engine can almost do all the things of a farmer.
This is also the purpose of Hou Dalin's hope to produce this diesel engine.
After the New Year, their farm should be up and running, and a lot of that power will be needed.
The labor farm of the second substation has been changed into a "labor farm"! Although the name has not been changed to Laogai, the nature has changed.
This is run by Director Yang, the big leaders and Wu Fucheng.
There will be a lot of people in need of labor reform here in the capital.
In the eyes of some shady people, shepherding sheep in the shadowy mountains is already an extremely difficult punishment. The temperature can reach more than minus thirty or forty degrees in winter, and it is an "excellent" place.
It was this recognition that made this proposition pass smoothly.
And Wu Fucheng is one of the main handlers of this matter. In the future, it is likely that he will also be one of the managers of this farm.
Hou Dalin, as the stationmaster of the scrap station, is a small role that no one will take seriously. Therefore, almost everyone ignores his existence, and it is this neglect that allows Hou Dalin to have more room for operation in the future.
The meal lasted for two hours, mainly because Wu Fucheng and Hou Dalin chatted for too long.
After eating, Second Sister Qin helped Wu Fucheng, who had drunk a little too much, to go back to her home.
Wu Fucheng was also uncomfortable during this time, mainly because of Hou Dalin's series of operations, Wu Fucheng inexplicably entered the eyes of the big leader, and then had to change his previous position on the surface and entered his "undercover" career.
Hou Dalin is very happy to see all this, although he is bitter as his second brother-in-law, but the fact also needs to have such a role. Wu Fucheng came to play this role, and Hou Dalin was happy to see it.
Early the next morning, Hou Dalin sat in the repair shop as usual, waiting for the guests to come to the door.
In my spare time, I taught a few children to study, or taught Zhang Fang and Xiao Jiu lessons, and basically this day passed.
After teaching a few children and explaining some electrical knowledge to Zhang Fang and Xiao Jiu'er, Hou Dalin returned to his seat and continued to drink tea and sleep.
When it was almost noon, Zhang Fang and Xiao Jiu'er had already gone home to cook. And Zhong Yuemin and a few other boys came over again.
"Brother Lin, why are you like an old man, guarding your old nest all day long?
Let's go, today we take you to a good place! ”
As soon as Zhong Yuemin came in, he began to shout.
At this time, he was still a happy young man, the old father had not yet been sent to prison, and he could still play his life carefree all day long, and live his romantic dreams.
"Where can you go? It's all called my brother, and it's definitely not a good thing. Tell me, are you going to ask me to contribute money or effort this time?
You kid can't treat me as a wrongdoer, do you? ”
"How can it, Brother Da Lin, this time there is really a good thing! Today I'll take you to Lao Mo to take a look, there are buddies to treat, we don't need to spend money! ”
"Oh, it's going to eat! Then I won't go, besides, I can't get used to Western food, so you can go. ”
Hou Dalin refused with a mouthful of words, this Zhong Yuemin has a simple idea, and not anyone who goes to this kind of thing will be welcomed. His identity allows him to rub without pressure, but Hou Dalin can't, he doesn't want to find uncomfortable.
