Chapter Thirty-Five: Today Is Smooth
At noon, Hao Xiao ate three bowls of rice in a row with mackerel, of course, our bowl is not big enough, can not be compared with the countryside, three bowls are not as good as two bowls of people, this is still full of mother's full, count his mouth when eating, go to the countryside for a few years and really follow the customs. In addition to my mother, my father and I each ate two bowls of rice, which was also more than usual. My mother only ate a flat bowl of rice as usual, and no matter what good dishes she had, she would never eat more than half a bite, or she would not be in such good shape, like a literacy class (girl).
After dinner, take a nap, everyone left to be busy, my parents went to work, I asked Hao Xiao to drive a tractor and take me to No. 1 Middle School to get college entrance examination review materials, and the province rode a bicycle. I went directly to my homeroom teacher, Mr. Feng, who still teaches high school Chinese, and there was no class in the afternoon, so I accompanied me to find teachers in various subjects throughout the whole process, not only to get the latest review materials, but also to receive key guidance (this is especially necessary for me, an independent review candidate, undoubtedly played a role in guiding the maze, syllabus and getting twice the result with half the effort, in short, the benefits are great, I can't describe it), I have benefited a lot, it is really worth the trip.
Fortunately, I was accompanied by Hao Xiao and helped me share some review materials, or I would be a little unbearable to take so many review materials myself, weighing more than ten pounds, I will try to get as many review materials as possible, the more the better.
After a busy afternoon, it was almost dark when I left. On the way home, Hao Xiao was envious, saying that I had a good time and had the opportunity to take the university entrance examination, and it was useless to take the exam if I wanted to, only at the junior high school level. I said, you can take the technical secondary school examination, as long as you are admitted, you will be a national cadre after graduation. He smiled and said, his junior high school is a fart, at most it is a primary school level, he can add, subtract, multiply and divide, it is good to be able to read the newspaper and write letters, not much better than illiteracy, and then sighed and said, let's honestly take root in the countryside and do a lifetime of revolution, counting on the child to have a future and be admitted to university, don't think about anything else, don't count on it!
After that, increase the speed of the car and go straight to the county party committee compound. I didn't speak anymore, until the door of the house, I guess I have been thinking about things, I am quite interesting, I am embarrassed to disturb him, I put my attention on the street scene, to see if there are any changes, what changes can be made, and I left for a few days.
When I got home, it was getting dark, and before I could enter the yard, I smelled the smell of food, my mother was busy with dinner, and my father had not yet left work.
After Hao Xiao and I moved the review materials into the house, I rolled up my sleeves and went to the kitchen to help cook. Don't say it, he really knows how to cook, and his cooking skills are good, according to his words, he learned to cook in the countryside, and he made authentic hometown food. I followed him with great interest, wanting to see his craft, and he told his mother in advance that he would make a hometown dish, but he kept it secret from me, and his mother promised to prepare the ingredients for him in advance, and I would see what he was doing today.
No, before I could go into the kitchen, my father called out to me from behind:
"Hey, Fuhai!"
When I turned around, my father held up a packet of cooked food to me at the gate of the courtyard. I immediately smelled the fragrance and guessed what it was, so I hurried to catch it.
"Dad, it won't be pig's head!" Pig's head meat is always my father's best appetizer, Hao Xiao also likes it, they both agreed, "Ha wine is pig's head meat, the more you eat, the more you have", hehe, creative.
"Hehe, the nose is sharp enough, guess it right!"
My father smiled and handed me the pork head and walked into the reception room. I held the pig's head meat in both hands, it felt still hot, as if it had just come out of the pot, I couldn't help but open the paper bag, the pig's head meat had been cut, one by one was very even, exuding a rich meat aroma, I sniffed the meat deeply a few times, saliva gushed out instantly, fortunately I closed my mouth, or ...... Ha ha. I held the meat, I really couldn't resist the temptation, I looked up at the kitchen first, saw that my mother and Hao Xiao were busy, too lazy to pay attention to me, and then glanced at the reception room, and saw that my father was not there, probably in the room. I was secretly amused, so I quickly grabbed a piece of fat and thin pork head and stuffed it into my mouth, then rewrapped it, turned my back to my face and chewed it in a big bite.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he started eating, he heard his father shouting:
"Hey, why are you still standing there, hurry up and bring it in!"
"Oh!" I walked as loudly as I could to the reception room (my reception room and dining room) with the meat in my hand, and it was so dangerous that my father almost saw me stealing pig's head. In fact, my father's pork head meat is also a must, and the taste is excellent, but my father makes two flavors, and my father makes it fragrant, which is most suitable for dipping pancakes with chili sauce rolls, which is braised and is more suitable for snacks.
I put the pig's head meat on the plate and deliberately placed it neatly in a circle one by one, and then put it in the middle of the table to my father's side, and then put the wine glass and tableware on the table, and my father brought two bottles of Shanxi Lao Fen (he and Hao Xiao often drink this wine, usually take out four bottles at once) and put them on the table, I smiled and asked, why take two bottles. He said that there are only two bottles of Fenjiu left, drink them first, not enough, and Lao Baigan.
After the table was ready, the dishes also came up one after another, a total of six dishes, Hao Xiao's last dish was actually his hometown dish - yellow moth (the hometown called the mountain mushroom yellow moth, because it looks like a yellow moth) fried pork belly, my father and I love to eat.
Tonight, with pig's head meat and yellow moth fried meat, my father and Hao Xiao designated a few more cups.
