Chapter 164: Moon Appreciation
After eating, the whole family took a shower, and it was dark.
A full moon gradually rose, and the moonlight was so bright that even kerosene lamps were saved.
The dining table was not taken back to the hall, but was still placed in the courtyard.
But at this time, there was no food on it, and instead there were moon cakes, oranges and grapefruits, all of which were brought back by Xu Qingmu and Zhao Dashan.
There is also Cui Lanhua's steamed glutinous rice cake today.
It's just that tonight's glutinous rice cakes don't seem to be very popular, whether it is Xu Shuxin or Xu Shuyue, their eyes are on moon cakes and fruits.
There were moon cakes changed by Xu Shuxin in Xu Qingmu's room, but Zhao Dashan knew more about his situation, and it was not easy to take them out, so he could only say sorry to Zhao Dashan in his heart.
thought that when he took the clothes made by Cui Lanhua to Zhao Dashan, he would be told and wasted by him, and he had to ask him where the fabric for making clothes came from, and even wanted to stuff him with money.
At that time, Xu Qingmu wanted to break his head before he said a reason to fool the past, and now he doesn't want to fool anymore.
He decided to wait for the life at home to ease up and then slowly repay Zhao Dashan.
However, Xu Qingmu was not disgusted by Zhao Dashan's behavior of interrogating him about the source of the fabric before and telling him to be careful when he went to change things.
Because he knew that Zhao Dashan really cared about him, he would ask that.
If it was replaced by Old Man Xu and Mrs. Xu, they might not ask where those things came from, but only if there were any or not, and why they didn't give more.
Even if he asks where he got it, it is for the sake of his brothers, so that his brothers can also get benefits.
When Xu Qingmu put things on the table, Cui Lanhua came out with a cleaned knife from the kitchen, and Xu Qingmu took it, "I'll come." ”
He first cut the mooncake and divided it into small pieces, then cut the grapefruit and peeled it, tore the white layer on the outside, and placed it on the table one by one.
Xu Shuyan raised her hand and wanted to take the grapefruit, but Xu Qingmu patted it gently, "Let your grandfather Zhao eat it first." ”
Zhao Dashan waved his hand, "Don't care about these, you can eat, and I don't like to eat these things." ”
Xu Shuxin doesn't believe it, there are still people who don't like to eat fruits?
She picked up a grapefruit and handed it to Zhao Dashan, "Grandpa Zhao, you eat." ”
The attitude is tough.
Seeing this, Zhao Dashan had no choice but to take it, "Then Grandpa Zhao will thank Xinxin." ”
Zhao Dashan took it, Xu Shuyan couldn't hold back any longer, picked up a grapefruit and was about to stuff it into her mouth, Xu Shuxin hurriedly stopped her, "Sixth sister, you have to pull out the outer layer of skin before you can eat it, and the core inside must also be spit out." ”
Xu Shuyan did so, but her mouth was not idle, "Xinxin, you haven't eaten grapefruit either, how do you know?" ”
Xu Shuxin: "...... I listened to my dad, dad, right? ”
She said as she complained about the system in her heart.
This dog system must know why she knows this, but no matter how much she asks, she can't get an answer.
Later, she simply stopped asking.
Xu Qingmu was very cooperative, "Yes, I said it to Xinxin." ”
Xu Qingmu's family admired the moon, ate moon cakes, ate fruits, and could chat, so unhappy, but most of the people in the Peace Brigade did not have this happiness.
They have to tighten their belts every day, even if it is a festival like the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is just a few more grains of rice in the rice.
Unless, like the branch secretary, someone in the family is a soldier and a workman outside, he is willing to buy some candy and moon cakes, and the family will divide it.
However, there are still very few people in the entire peace brigade like the branch secretary, so even if the moonlight is bright, most of the members go to bed early.
Even the patrolling militia went back when it looked getting late.
Zhao Xingsheng spat out, "Let's go back, it's been a whole day, except for the traces of the wild boar's hooves, we haven't even seen a single pig hair, it seems that those wild boars have long run away and won't come back, let's go back to sleep." ”
Saying this, Zhao Xingsheng took the lead and walked towards the village.
When he left, he didn't forget to complain, "We are working hard to patrol here, but Xu Qingmu and his family are eating meat, it's really unfair!" ”
In the evening, he happened to pass by Xu Qingmu's house and smelled the smell of meat from his house, and his saliva at that time almost couldn't help but flow down from the corners of his mouth.
Hearing Zhao Xingsheng's words, the people in the team couldn't help but ask, "Captain, how do you know that Xu Qingmu's family has eaten meat?" Do you smell it? ”
Zhao Xingsheng pouted, "Doesn't it just smell it, this Xu Qingmu is really willing, it's just a Mid-Autumn Festival, which family doesn't live as usual, just his family is special, and he still eats meat!" ”
"And his daughters, they just found the traces of wild boars, what is the fuss, and they ran to the captain and said, otherwise where would we come out to patrol?"
The tone was full of complaints.
"I see!" Someone chimed in, "Then his daughter is really troublesome!" Captain, shall we continue tomorrow? ”
Zhao Xingsheng: "Forget it, let's go around, but there will be work points for a few turns, so fools don't do it, but let's go back early in the evening." ”
"Listen to the captain."
Several people walked into the village and talked about Xu Qingmu.
"I don't know what kind of shit luck Xu Qingmu had, he was able to go to work in the commune, and now he eats meat! It's been a long time since I've smelled meat! ”
"Who isn't? But Xu Qingmu is also willing to eat, if we have a job, the family is reluctant to eat meat. ”
"Hey! He doesn't have a son, so what do you do if you don't eat the money in your hand? Leave it to your daughter? The daughter will be someone else's family in the future, so isn't she using her own money to support others for money? So naturally reluctant. ”
"You have a point......
Xu Qingmu didn't know that the members of the team knew about their family's eating meat, but even if he knew, he was not afraid, he now had a job, and it was not strange that he could afford to eat meat.
And when he and Zhao Dashan came back, many members of the club saw it, and they also saw the meat and fish he was carrying.
Most of the members have no other thoughts than envy, and there are only a few who are as angry as Zhao Xingsheng.
Old man Xu was lying on the bed, thinking about the squeezing of his son and daughter-in-law at home during dinner at night, and thinking that Xu Qingmu didn't even come to see him, let alone give him meat, the feeling in his heart......
He felt that the old woman was right, Xu Qingmu was also a white-eyed wolf, a troublemaker, and he should have lost it when he was a child.
He touched the gluttonous worm in his stomach, thinking about how to have a good relationship with Xu Qingmu in the future, so that he would take the initiative to think of him as his father when he ate good things at home in the future, and slowly, he fell asleep.
Xu Qingmu's family, after the family enjoyed the moon, the time was almost ten o'clock.
Cui Lanhua and Xu Shuxin sisters went back to their rooms.
Xu Qingmu used a wooden plank to build a temporary bed in the hall and put a quilt on it, and he and Zhao Dashan stayed in the hall for the night.
