What is the Great Set in the Mountains?

In fact, it is in the mountains to round the land, ten miles and eight villages are carrying flat burdens, carrying baskets to "sell goods", saying that it is selling, in fact, it is barter, no money is involved, as long as each other feels reasonable, you can make a transaction.

However, most of the large markets in the mountains are selling local products, and industrial products are very scarce, otherwise it is "cutting the tail of capitalism".

Every time there is a big gathering in the mountains, it is crowded with people and bustling.

Of course, such a grand scene is not always encountered, only during the Spring Festival, when the rural people take out the surplus things at home in exchange for some necessities for the New Year, such as oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and so on.

Some time ago, the commune also held a rally, but it was completely different from the big gathering in the mountains, which was more like a custom.

Gu Yuehuai walked home with the award certificate, looking a little dazed, she was already about to catch up with the big set.

In my memory, my father didn't catch up with this big set.

At that time, because she bought more than four pull-back shoes, the family could not make ends meet, and she yelled all day long to eat fine grains, but her father had no choice, so he went to the black market of the commune to sell zongzi leaves, was arrested by the militia, and never came back.

My father is in prison, and the family is in even worse trouble, how can I still have the heart to catch up with the big set?

The winter air was cold and biting, Gu Yuehuai took a light breath, and then felt that his brain was much clearer.

She quickened her pace back home, lifted the curtain, and a stream of heat came out, the aroma of rice and meat in the room was intertwined, just smelling it made people appetite, she bent her eyebrows, and after entering the door, she slightly stretched out the award certificate in her hand.

Her arrogant eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "Look, Gu Yuehuai, an excellent member of the club, praise me!" ”

Gu Tinghuai stepped forward with a brisk step, took the award certificate in his hand and looked at it carefully, the smile on his face became stronger and stronger, and he said: "Nan Nan is really amazing, wait until tomorrow I will bring food to our father, take it to him and show it, he will definitely be happy for you!" ”

Gu Yuehuai walked to the side of the stove and said, "Dad should be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and go home, today Gu Jia got married, he and his third brother went to attend someone's wedding, I came back in a hurry, I don't know how, did it make things difficult for the family." ”

The stewed pork ribs with winter melon have been served, and the pot has been brushed clean.

Gu Yuehuai fried the minced meat, added tempeh, soy sauce, salt, sugar and other seasonings, and added tofu after stir-frying.

Mapo tofu is full of color and flavor, because of the thickening, the soup is thick, mixed into the rice and very good.

"Gu Jia is getting married today." Gu Tinghuai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't take it to heart.

They live in the brigade all the year round, and the relationship with the uncle and the two aunts in the city is not very deep, Gu Jia, a cousin, is even more ordinary, although marriage is a big deal, but it is not their turn to care.

After Gu Yuehuai fried mapo tofu, she made a tomato fried rice, which is Yan Shaotang's favorite food, the little girl can't eat mapo tofu, which is spicy, but tomato eggs are just right.

She beckoned to a few people: "Okay, let's eat." ”

As soon as the words fell, several people went to the kang table, and each person had a bowl full of rice.

In today's world, such a table of meals is definitely a treatment that will only be available during the New Year.

Gu Yuehuai chewed the rice and said, "By the way, big brother, I'm going to catch up with the big set soon, just in the past few days, you pay attention to it, when the time comes, let's go to the big set to have a look, change some things and come back, and have a good year." ”

"Big set? What did the branch secretary say? Gu Tinghuai was obviously also a little surprised, for the members of the brigade, there was a lack of money, food and tickets, and there was no condition to go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things on weekdays, so they could only count on the big set when the New Year was approaching.

When I was young, every time I rushed to the big set, it was the most expected thing for the children, and I was as happy as earning New Year's money, although the New Year's money would not exceed two cents at most, but it was an indispensable form.

Yan Shaoli interjected curiously on the side: "What is the big set?" ”

Gu Yuehuai glanced at her: "It's a market in the countryside, only available for the Chinese New Year." ”

Hearing this, Yan Shaoli's eyes lit up: "Bazaar? Then I'm going too! Take Shaotang with you! ”

Gu Yuehuai didn't speak, chewing and eating slowly, seeing this, Yan Shaoli hugged her arm and shook it, and his tone was a little flattering: "Okay Yuehuai, you can take us there, go and see and see." ”

Gu Tinghuai looked funny, obviously the two of them were the same age, but Gu Yuehuai looked at it and became a lot older.

*

After lunch, Yan Shaoli seemed to want to behave, so he volunteered to wash the dishes.

Gu Tinghuai felt embarrassed, and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to use the well, so he followed.

Gu Yuehuai shook her head, picked up the cotton and fabric, and went out to the cotton mill, this time not to play cotton, but to find someone to help make a few sets of jackets, not to delay the New Year, I hope everyone can wear new clothes at that time.

It was still Wang Meihua, the aunt who received her when she came to the cotton mill last time, and a smile appeared on her face when she saw her.

"Xiao Gu is here!" This time is obviously more enthusiastic than the last time, after all, Gu Yuehuai's heroic rescue of cattle has spread throughout the entire Dalaozi Production Brigade, and everyone knows that the branch secretary has applied for her the honorary title of an outstanding member.

With such a name, in the eyes of the members, he is just like the movie star.

Gu Yuehuai said with a smile: "Auntie, that's the case, I'm busy with work during this time, and I really don't have time to make clothes, see if you can find someone to help me, rest assured, the manual cost will not be less, but it needs to be completed before the year." ”

As soon as she heard this, Wang Meihua's face showed joy, and she replied again and again: "Leave it to me, you can rest assured, I promise that your whole family will wear new clothes during the New Year, and the size and everything will be measured?" ”

Gu Yuehuai bowed her head and handed over the size she had written.

Needless to say, Yan Shaoli and Yan Shaotang also know that as for Yan Shaoyu, she has not measured it, but when she looks at it, she is about the same size as Yan Shaoyu, and it is not difficult to distinguish.

As for Yan Shaoyu's, she has been doing it herself, and she hasn't delayed for a moment.

Wang Meihua took the size and looked at it, and immediately exclaimed: "Yo, do so much?" Is cotton enough? ”

While speaking, she glanced at Gu Yuehuai in surprise, there was still a little envy in her eyes, she hadn't seen it before, the Gu family had really made a fortune this year, everyone had a new dress, and it cost a lot of money to do so much.

"Auntie, you forgot, my second aunt works in a cotton factory, pay more money, and give me more cotton, you also know the situation of my family, now I earn money, and I must make my father live a good life every month."

Gu Yuehuai raised her chin slightly and said with a smile.

When Wang Meihua heard this, she nodded again and again, and looked at Gu Yuehuai's eyes full of praise: "It's this reason!" Xiao Gu is out, your dad will be happy in the future, don't worry, leave it to me. ”

Today is a disaster year, there is a shortage of food and clothing, and no one has the spare money to buy cotton cloth to make new clothes.

In previous years, she was able to earn more money with her craftsmanship, but today she really can't, she has to hold back her illness every day in the cotton mill, but fortunately, there are big customers like Xiao Gu, who have several clothes as soon as she does it!

It's no wonder that when it comes to the mass daily, everyone looks sour and envious, and the salary is not low.
