The parents of the Qin family couldn't close their mouths with a smile, this table of chicken, duck and fish, according to the rules, the leftovers are all handled by their family, and they can't see any meat all year round, this is a blessing!

Qin Jingru's brothers and sisters came when they heard the wind, swallowed saliva when they smelled the taste, and praised Qin Jingru.

"Okay, Xiao Wu, you can invite people to your home, you have the ability!"

"Now we have meat to eat!"

"Mom, I haven't drunk in half a year, gluttony! Can you give me a glass of leftovers......"

Qin Jingru was praised by her brothers and sisters, as if she had become the focus.

The last time she enjoyed this treatment, she was the only cousin of the Qin family who married into the city, Qin Huairu.

She looked like a hen that had just laid eggs, and said, "That's it! My brother Xu takes care of me! ”

Mother Qin, who is also a stick terrier, secretly pulled Qin Jingru outside the house and asked quietly: "What is your relationship with this Comrade Xu, why do people take care of us so much." ”

"Brother Xu is my cousin's neighbor, I met last time I went to the city, and he took care of us when I met him at the gate of the commune."

Qin's mother asked curiously, "Is it that the neighbor still takes care of us like this?" Thank you cousin, it's a pity, people are so good, they must have been married a long time ago. ”

"Actually...... I asked, and they just got divorced. Qin Jingru said shyly.

"It's really ignorant of such a good condition and a divorce! Then you say ......" Mother Qin looked at Qin Jingru with a hint in her eyes.

Qin Jingru blushed and felt a little inferior: "I'm just a country girl, people's conditions are so good, do you say that people can take a fancy to me, although Brother Xu said that he would take me into the city to eat Quanjude roast duck after the New Year, but I am a little uncertain......"

"Quanjude, eat roast duck!" Qin Mu was secretly speechless.

I heard the secretary of the commune say that this Quanjude roast duck is a card for entertaining foreign guests, and it doesn't cost a few dollars to eat a meal!

With such a large amount of money, it must have a good impression of his daughter, maybe, Qin Jingru can become the second daughter of the Qin family to marry in the city!

"Go, why don't you go?!"

Qin's mother was a little excited, and said categorically.

"It's decided, you don't have to go to the field from tomorrow, seven minutes a day, and you can't afford to eat. Mom will make you new clothes, give you the money for the bus ticket in the new year, and you will go to the city to be good for him. ”

"Really?!"

Qin Jingru was ecstatic, not only could she wear new clothes and go into the city to eat, drink and have fun, but she didn't have to work in the fields.

Being an official is not as comfortable as this!

Xu Damao according to the established schedule, in the first half of the month, around the communes around the capital, one by one to show movies, professional projection technology coupled with unique narration, so that all the communes were satisfied with the thumbs up, and asked to come to the countryside again after the year.

In the past half a month, with all kinds of delicious food and drink, Xu Damao felt that he had gained several pounds, and embarked on the way back with the enthusiastic farewell of the villagers at the last stop.

His 28 permanent bicycle alone is full of agricultural goods, from green onions, ginger and garlic to wild game and small mountain mushrooms, and a fat old hen hangs on each side of the handlebar.

Xu Damao felt the enthusiasm of the simple farmers for the first time, and the people's hearts were still very simple in these years, Xu Damao's bicycle was crunched, and the saddle was tied with two circles of dry vermicelli, and he couldn't ride it anymore.

Even if he repeatedly said that he didn't want much, but the enthusiastic villagers still pressed ten catties of stick noodles on his fragile 28 shoulders, and Xu Damao didn't dare to continue to stay, for fear that the villagers who were chased out would continue to give gifts.

Coincidentally, when I passed by the gate of the Red Star Commune, I happened to see Qin Jingru with two braids squatting aside, and after seeing Xu Damao, he trotted over happily.

"Jingru, what are you...... Waiting for me? ”

"Well, I heard from the village next door that you happened to be back to the city for the New Year today, and you were waiting here early in the morning." Qin Jingru's face was red from the cold, and she took out a bag of peanuts with skin from her pocket, which looked like she had five or six catties.

"My mom asked me to bring it here, saying that everyone in the city eats this."

"Thank you, auntie, for me."

Xu Damao thought about it, took out ten yuan and twenty catties of food stamps from his trouser pocket and handed them to Qin Jingru.

"Brother Xu, I can't ask for these." Qin Jingru hurriedly waved his hand, "Besides, these peanuts, how can they be worth so much money?" ”

"Misunderstanding, isn't it? I tasted your home-brewed grain and wine last time, and I plan to buy some, so let's help me collect ten catties, and you will come to the city to bring it together in the next year. Xu Damao said.

Therefore, some farmers use their self-brewed red wine to go to the city to exchange for food stamps, commonly known as eight with two, that is, 8 cents + 2 catties of grain stamps = 1 catty of red liquor.

This pure grain wine is really good, and after getting drunk, I don't have a headache the next day.

It will be difficult for future generations to buy such pure grain wine, and it is not a loss to buy more and taste it.

"I see! Thank you, Brother Xu, for taking care of my family. Qin Jingru happily accepted the money, the grain and wine at home were sold, and she could eat one more dumpling during the New Year, "Then if you give more, ten catties of red wine will cost eight yuan." ”

"How can I keep you busy in vain? These two dollars are your hard work! Xu Damao said with a smile, "Besides, you always have to ask for a fare when you come to the city, how can I, the host, let you pay for it yourself?" ”

"What's more, you haven't tasted the soda at the city gate yet, a dime and a bottle of five, so I'll treat you as a brother."

When Qin Jingru heard this, he immediately became overjoyed, and he made two yuan for nothing!

is equal to a fat chicken, a pound and a half of eggs, for her, it can be said to be a huge amount of money.

The soda at the city gate, she envied every time she went into the city to see people drinking, I heard that the orange flavor was the best, this time she had to taste the soda!

Qin Jingru happily accepted the money and tickets: "Okay, Brother Xu, I'll send it to you when I enter the city after the New Year!" ”

"Then it's decided, write me a letter before you come, and I'll pick you up when the time comes!"

After waving goodbye, Qin Jingru trotted all the way home, nervously clutching her trouser pockets, for fear that the money would fall out, looking quite funny.

Xu Damao struggled to get back on the bicycle, and he didn't feel tired when he rode to the city gate in one go.

When he returned to the mouth of the alley, he happened to see Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui, who were carrying paste and preparing to paste couplets on the gate of the courtyard.

"The first master, the third master, are busy pasting couplets!"

"Da Mao is back from the countryside to play movies! Ouch, you've gained a lot......"

Before Yi Zhonghai could speak, the eyes of the third master Yan Bugui widened, and when he saw Xu Damao's fully loaded bicycle, he almost didn't come out, and took the initiative to come up and greet him warmly.

Xu Damao took out a string of wild mountain mushrooms from the handlebar cloth pocket and said, "A little mountain goods, please smile at the two masters." ”

The third master accepted it with a smile, for a calculating iron rooster like him, he could be happy for a long time no matter what it was.

Uncle Yi didn't have such a thick skin, so he refused with a smile.

Xu Damao didn't care, and said politely: "The two uncles are busy first, I have to go back to the factory to order something, put down the things and leave, wait for the time, go to the two uncles' house to visit." ”

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said, "Da Mao doesn't need to be so polite, they are all from the same courtyard." ”

Xu Damao said: "It's not that I'm polite, this time the comrades of the rural commune are too enthusiastic, and they gave me some more seasonings such as ginger, garlic, peppercorns, etc., I thought that I can't eat so much by myself, and you two make dumplings at home during the New Year, and it tastes like you put more seasonings!" ”

Seasoning!

This thing is not easy to get, every household can get some green onion salt at most, how can they have spare money to buy spices, and more importantly, the supply of this thing is too small and the price is not low.

Even the stupid pillar canteen, for spices such as peppercorns, star anise, and cinnamon, they are only used when the factory director treats guests.

"Okay, good, good to say, then I'll wait for you!"

The corners of Yan Bugui's mouth bloomed, and his head nodded like a chicken eating rice.

Yi Zhonghai was speechless, he wanted to refuse, but Xu Damao gave too much!

Xu Damao said again: "Uncle Yi, the deaf old lady is old, her sense of taste has deteriorated, and she says that there is no taste in eating on weekdays. ”

This time, the uncle was embarrassed to refuse, and said gratefully: "Da Mao, you have a heart!" ”

"Yes, then I'll go first!"

"Okay, okay, you get busy first!"

Yan Bugui smiled and helped Xu Damao carry the rear wheel over the threshold.

Thinking that he could get a share of the benefits by talking to him, the three masters danced with their eyebrows, and said with emotion: "You said that this projectionist is really fat, no wonder this Xu Damao used to say that he could earn half a month's salary when he went to the countryside!" This is not bragging! ”

Yi Zhonghai's focus is not here, and he sighed: "Damao has changed, and it is much more mature than before!" ”

"It's true, this is much more stable in talking and doing things, and more importantly, it is open and respectful to the elders!" The three masters received the benefits, which was a powerful boast.

Yi Zhonghai smiled: "His three masters, let's go around again and see who hasn't written a couplet yet, hard work for you to write." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard, just give it a little moisturizer!"
