Chapter 221: Beginning of Autumn

"Boom......."

It was like a river toppling into the sky, and the heavy rain was accompanied by strong winds.

The taverns and canteens were not opened.

Through the glass, Xu Huizhen looked at the stagnant water in the yard, and said to herself with worry in her eyes: "When is this rain a head, just a few days after the last rain, this is coming again, God really doesn't care whether the people live or die!" ”

"Ahhh......h

Xiao Li'er raised her little finger in her arms and pointed out.

Xu Huizhen rubbed her little face with her nose and said, "Oh, it's raining again." ”

"Oh......." Xiao Li'er scratched her face, looked outside again, and said, "Ahh......h ”

Xu Huizhen said: "You are also worried about Dad, Dad is guarding us outside, let's bless Dad's safety together." ”

……

At this time, Xu Deyong was still guarding the south moat, they belonged to the reserve team of the street organization to fight disasters and rescue dangers, Cai Quanwu and Fan Jinyou were all listed, and the people at the forefront were the people's soldiers.

At this time, several trucks came in the rain, and someone shouted: "The team gathers and gets into the car, and this side is handed over to the reserve team." ”

The head of the reserve team asked: "What's going on?" ”

"There is a dangerous situation on the banks of the Yongding River in Daxing County in the south, and support is needed."

The upper reaches of the Yongding River flow through the Loess Plateau, and the river water has a large sediment content, so it is called the "Little Yellow River" and "Hunhe River". Due to the siltation of sediment in the lower reaches of the river, the above-ground river is formed, and the migration is uncertain, so it was formerly called "Wuding River".

The famous poem "Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream", is the river.

Here, Xu Deyong and his reserve team completed the handover, and the soldiers all got into the car without hesitation.

Seeing this, Xu Deyong said: "Comrade of the People's Liberation Army, I apply to participate in the support. ”

Fan Jinyi on the side gritted his teeth and said, "I also apply to participate." ”

"No, you ordinary people just need to protect this place."

After the other party finished speaking, he got into the car, and several trucks started.

Xu Deyong was a little helpless, these soldiers were ordinary people, he thought about it, "took out" a handful of candy from the pocket of his raincoat, picked it up in the car and stuffed it into the pocket of a soaking young soldier.

"Oops, hey......."

The other party was also surprised.

Xu Deyong jumped out of the car and waved his hand: "Give it to you to eat." ”

The other party took out the candy and looked at the people around him, and the vehicle quickly disappeared into the heavy rain......

……

Xu Deyong and the others took turns to guard for two days, and the water in the moat overflowed to Yongdingmen, and everyone's spirits were a little nervous.

It wasn't until the rain turned light that everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But bad news came from the flood front.

In Daxing County on the left bank of the Yongding River, the embankment of Ximagezhuang burst, and the flood flooded more than 900 square kilometers of Daxing, Langfang, Wuqing, etc.

Xu Deyong was stunned for a moment, thinking of the soldiers who went to support before, he could only pray that they were all okay.

In the evening, except for a few people who stayed on guard and observed, Xu Deyong and the others all went home.

I haven't had a good rest for more than two days, and Rao is Xu Deyong's extraordinary physique, and he also feels a little tired.

Cai Quanwu's face was also full of tiredness, Fan Jinyou was even more unbearable, and his legs were a little swinging when he walked, but this product was also very ruthless to himself, and he kept persevering.

Xu Deyong went home to change his clothes and chatted with Xu Huizhen about the common words between husband and wife.

After eating, he lay down in bed relaxed.

Xu Huizhen sat on the edge of the bed and said softly with concern: "I'm tired!" When you're tired, go to sleep. ”

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "It's okay, it's not very sleepy, just lie down and rest for a while." ”

Xiao Li'er, who was placed on the other side of the bed, had already kicked her calves and slowly crawled towards Xu Deyong.

Before you know it, the little one is already crawling.

"Giggle......."

finally caught Xu Deyong's big feet, Xiao Li was happy, and then went down Xu Deyong's thighs and wanted to climb onto Xu Deyong.

Xu Huizhen smiled a little and said angrily: "Don't toss Dad, Dad is tired." ”

As he spoke, he hugged Xiao Li'er to the side.

"Ahh

Xiao Li'er yelled at Xu Huizhen unhappily, and continued to crawl tirelessly towards Xu Deyong.

Xu Deyong looked at this scene with a smile on his face, only to feel that the little fatigue left in his spirit suddenly dissipated.

Xiao Li'er treated Xu Deyong as a big toy, and finally climbed onto Xu Deyong's chest, happy fart.

Xu Deyong shook it deliberately, and then shook her down with his hand, and after the little guy "giggled", he immediately took action again to .......

The next day, Xu Deyong's biological clock woke him up, and it was still windy and drizzling outside.

He exercised in the house, hey, his daughter-in-law is pregnant, so she can only output to the air!

Open today's blind box after your workout.

"Bang."

A sack falls into the blind box space.

Xu Deyong opened it and saw that it was a sack of cucumbers.

He didn't have any surprises, because all kinds of vegetables were given for the next few days, "eggplant, beans, tomatoes" or something.

The blind box is knowledgeable about current affairs, knowing that after the rainstorm and flood, the vegetables in the market will be in short supply, and the price will skyrocket.

He directly took out one, pinched off a little bit and took a bite.

Well, it's crispy, it's crispy, it's good!

When the rain is light, the cafeteria will naturally be open.

Xu Deyong went to the front to take a look, Cai Quanwu was leading everyone to make all kinds of food

Fan Jin has this product while burning the fire and being angry, if this goods are upright, it is still okay to do some serious things.

Xu Deyong greeted everyone, bought a few nests and flower rolls and went home.

……

In the evening, even the light rain has stopped, and the rain on the street has subsided a lot, and the regular customers of the tavern who have been holding it at home for a few days come to join in the excitement and have a drink.

Everyone discussed the continuous heavy rain during this time, where it was flooded, and some people discussed the rising prices of vegetables.

Niu Ye said: "Hey, this rain is a real evil sect, and it is always wandering around our capital." ”

Xu Hesheng said: "Who says it's not, these two rainstorms are rare to see in decades. ”

……

Xu Huizhen smiled and talked to everyone, and if someone asked for wine, she would give them wine.

At this time, Chen Xueru and the girls walked into the tavern.

Chen Zuwang is dead, the saddest thing is Mother Chen, Chen Xueru will have recovered.

"Yo, Manager Chen is here."

"Good evening, Manager Chen."

……

Chen Xueru greeted the acquaintance with a smile, walked to the counter and glanced at the peach blossom eyes: "Huizhen, what about your man?" ”

Xu Huizhen glanced at her and said, "What about watching the children at home, what's the matter, Sister Xueru has something to do with him?" ”

Chen Xueru said: "He helped find someone, and then he was busy, if I don't express my gratitude, I'm afraid you have an opinion on me." ”

Xu Huizhen smiled lightly and said: "How come, everyone is a friend, and it is also appropriate to help when something happens." ”

The corners of Chen Xueru's mouth were slightly raised: "The point is that your man has helped too much, I don't know what to thank him!" Moreover, such a man, you let you watch the children at home, what a luxury! ”

Xu Huizhen said: "It's his own willingness, if he is not happy, it is useless to say more." ”

"Hey." Chen Xueru sighed lightly and said, "If it weren't for the fact that it's better to have a good life, the bad ones are gone, and the good ones are coming." ”

Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "Sister Xueru, you can too!" ”

Chen Xueru said: "It's difficult to find a good man who is satisfied, I don't have a good life like you, you look at the people around me who are Liao Yucheng and Fan Jinyou, and they all make people die." ”

Fan Jin Youcai was lying at home and sleeping, he was really shot while lying down!

The two talked a few words, and Chen Xueru sent out an invitation: "You see when you are free, I invite the two of you to come to the house as guests and chat to express your gratitude." ”

Xu Huizhen excused himself: "You really don't have to be so polite. ”

Chen Xueru said: "You always have to give me a chance to thank you, otherwise it is always a matter in peace of mind, you should help me, the day after tomorrow is just the beginning of autumn, knowing that you are busy at night, just noon, I will paste you with "autumn fat". ”

Then he didn't give Xu Huizhen room to refuse: "That's it, I won't drink today, I'll see you later." ”

After saying that, he waved his hand and left.

In the evening, Xu Huizhen returned home and told Xu Deyong about Chen Xueru's invitation.

Xu Deyong blinked and said, "You can make a decision on this matter." ”

Xu Huizhen glanced at her lightly and said: "Sister Xueru has talked about this, if you don't go to it, it will be too faceless, anyway, you won't delay anything if you eat a meal at noon." ”

Xu Deyong said: "Cheng, then go." ”

……

The next day, the sun came out, and the capital after the rainstorm was like a huge steamer.

Xiao Li'er was wearing a small belly pocket and was still crawling on the mat, Xu Huizhen was fanning Pu on the side, and Xu Deyong was washing his changed clothes outside.

At this time, Kong Yuqin came over to call Xu Huizhen, saying that the director's aunt was here, and she had something to discuss with Cai Quanwu.

Xu Huizhen hurriedly went over, and the three of them had a small meeting in the tavern.

The director said: "There is a matter, I want to ask for some opinions from your public and private managers. ”

Cai Quanwu and Xu Huizhen glanced at each other, and Cai Quanwu said in a deep voice: "Chief Auntie, if you have something, you can just give it." ”

The director said: "Actually, it's not a special thing, it's about Fan Jinyou." ”

Xu Huizhen's apricot eyes widened slightly: "What kind of moth did Fan Jinyou come out again?" ”

The director smiled and said: "That's not true, on the contrary, I saw on the street that Fan Jin has recently changed and worked hard, teaching diligently in the literacy class, and actively participating in the rescue and disaster relief during this rainstorm." Of course, your family is mediocre, and there are all none, and they are also activists, and they deserve praise. ”

Xu Huizhen frowned lightly and said, "Auntie Director, do you mean to reinstate Fan Jinyouguan?" ”

"How so!" The director said: "To be honest, in fact, there is no place for Fan Jin in the tavern. ”

"It's not that Liao Yucheng was expelled from the street because of what happened before, the street's security patrol team lacks a small person in charge, and the opinion on the street is to transfer Fan Jinyou over, let's take a look at it for a while, do you have any opinions on this?"

Xu Huizhen said: "Does our opinion have a role? ”

The director said: "Of course it works, if your public and private managers agree that Fan Jin has old habits and does not change, then the street will also reconsider carefully." ”

Xu Huizhen hesitated slightly when she heard this, Fan Jin has indeed improved a lot in the past two months, and now their evaluation can be regarded as being able to judge people's future.

The director said, "If you two have any opinions, just say them." ”

"What's Manager Cai's opinion?" Xu Huizhen glanced at Cai Quanwudao.

Cai Quanwu said: "As long as Fan Jinyou doesn't have any more moths, it's good to leave." ”

Xu Huizhen thought about it, and said with a slight bow: "Auntie Director, I won't express my opinion on this matter, it's all up to the leaders of the street to make the decision." ”

Cai Quanwu said: "Then I won't express my opinion." ”

The director's aunt glanced at them a little angrily and said, "I'm here to ask you today, you guys are good, and you brought the ball back, which means that you didn't say anything." ”

Xu Huizhen smiled and didn't speak, and Cai Quanwu didn't say a word.

The director said: "Yes, then I'll tell the truth when I go back, and it's their business for the street leaders to decide." ”

After saying that, he left with a cloth bag.

Fan Jinyou obviously knew something, and he couldn't help but look over there frequently in the cafeteria.

Seeing the director's aunt leaving, he hurriedly chased after him and asked.

The two said a few words, and Fan Jin returned a little absent-mindedly, obviously not getting the answer he wanted from the director's aunt.

……

After a hot and dry day, the beginning of autumn has arrived.

The beginning of autumn is one of the "four seasons and eight festivals" in our country.

This is where the term "season" comes from.

And sticking autumn fat is an indispensable custom for the old Beijing people to celebrate the beginning of the autumn festival.

In the hot summer, people's appetite is affected by the weather and sanitary environment, and it is inevitable to have a sense of anorexia, so many people will lose weight, which is called "bitter summer".

Once autumn begins, although it is still very hot, people no longer feel wet and sticky and uncomfortable, so they begin to germinate the idea of eating something delicious to make up for the deficit since the beginning of summer.

The way to make up for it is to eat delicious delicacies in the beginning of autumn, the first choice is to eat meat, and use the method of eating meat to make up for the fat lost in the scorching summer with meat, so it is called "sticking autumn fat".

In the old days, when eating barbecue, the old Beijing people must go to the "South Wan and North Season".

"Nanwan" refers to the barbecue Wan near Xuanwumen, which mainly roasts beef, while "Beiji" refers to the barbecue season located in Shichahai, Beicheng, which is famous for roast mutton.

The second is "biting autumn", also called "biting melon" or "eating autumn".

It has long been recorded in the "Customs of the Year" written by Zhang Tao of the Qing Dynasty: "Eat melons at the beginning of autumn, and bite autumn to avoid diarrhea." ”

On the day before the beginning of autumn, people put pumpkin, pumpkin, eggplant and herb soup in the courtyard to dry for a day, and eat them on the beginning of autumn, which has the effect of eliminating heat and avoiding dysentery and diarrhea.

Hey, what kind of melon is this pumpkin?

Did you know?

Today, Chen Xueru is going to have a treat at home.

Near noon, Xu Deyong's family of three dressed up and went out.

On the way, I happened to see a donkey cart pulling a cart of watermelons unloading the cart in front of a store.

A shed was erected in front of the store, and there were "large watermelons with flower skins" for five cents a pound and "black taut watermelons" for eight cents a pound.

"Black tendons", round black green skin, yellow sand pulp, black seeds, sweet sand, little juice.

Pull out the cold with tap water, cut your teeth, and eat it in your mouth!

There are also cut "black taut" in the cover next to it, a dime and a bud, and the yellow soil and red seeds are delicate and delicate to tease the appetite of passers-by.

The salesman was holding a knife more than a foot long and skillfully operated, and several children next to him watched this scene with greedy eyes.

They have a few pennies in their hands, just waiting to buy the ...... of watermelons cut into pieces from the corners.
