Chapter 137: The Four Great Pieces of the Countryside in the Seventies
"Mom, I'm fine, okay. ”
Li Dong is helpless, where did this third child get the letter, look at it, this is divorce and resignation, can it not scare our mother.
It's easy to say, but I'm still not at ease, don't you send the third child and Cheng Cheng of the aunt's family to send sauce beans to Xiaojuan, what's the matter.
"The tickets have been bought, what are the high-speed rail tickets, what time are they coming?"
Good guy, after the tickets are bought, Li Dong can do anything, I can't persuade him.
"Okay, Mom, I know, I'll ask the third child later. ”
hung up the phone about this matter, Li Dong was helpless, and sent a WeChat message to ask the third child, come over this weekend.
This is a trouble, Li Dongxin said that they have to clean up and turn back, the two of them can't live outside, there is only one bed in the old house now, and they have to buy a bed, buy a quilt or something.
"There are a few days left on the weekend, and I went on a trip to 78 years in between, and my mother loves pork, and she can't eat fatty meat, so let's get some wild boar, which has less fat. "Li Dong totaled, he still has to get a few bottles of good wine, his sister-in-law loves to drink, Cheng Cheng came to bring a few bottles of good wine.
Nectar, the shepherd boy is good, more than 100 yuan, not high or low, too expensive to be reluctant to drink, too cheap to drink is not good for the body. "Huang Jing also brought some, soaked in wine, and brought some cigarettes for Dad. ”
Although I don't like to smoke when I'm a little old, I recently heard that I love to smoke, so I can get at least two Jinwan.
"Well, don't think about it yet. ”
There are still a few days to come, Li Dong plans to do the things he wants to buy in 78 years first, Li Dong summed up the things that Han Weiguo needed to get married, and wrote a list.
"A pair of kettles, four dishes each. ”
Li Dong thought about what was in the house when Gao Weimin got married last time. "There must be a big mirror, a comb, by the way, why did I forget it recently, the chemical comb is now a plastic comb, the supply and marketing cooperatives sell three cents and five cents, and there must be a pair for marriage, as well as a grate, and a small mirror. ”
"What else?"
Li Dong recalled. "Head oil, osmanthus oil, must be bottled, bulk is not on the table. ”
"And then there's alabaster. ”
"Two pieces of soap, a chemical soap box. "Li Dong has seen it in the department store, more than a dollar, it's really scary, according to later generations, it is a plastic box, more than a dollar.
However, in those days, it was called a chemical box, which was very tall and tall, and it was rare in the countryside, and it was all rationed, two.
"Now the country is going to be proud. ”
"There is also a set of teapots, tea plates, two porcelain jars, urinals, no matter how you say it, you have to get the standard configuration of rural weddings, basins, spittoons, hot water kettles, plus flashlights in the seventies wedding four pieces. ”
Li Dong plans to give it all, so he can't lose Han Zhuang's face.
There are really a lot of things, Li Dong thinks about it. "Plastic combs, no, chemical combs are more than a little bit, there are many weddings on New Year's Day, this thing is easy to sell, it has to be red, and there are chemical soap boxes. ”
Taobao has it, first come to a hundred, Li Dong placed an order, and the others went back to Dongjie to buy it, and also bought some red paper, red cloth, and then Han Weiguo's clothes, Zhongshan suit, and leather shoes.
Gao Min has to buy a red cotton jacket here, which is good-looking, and the black cloth shoes with buckles are just used as wedding shoes, and the things are not old or young.
Yes, Li Dongyi summed up, there are really a lot of things he brought this time, alas, I don't know if I want a bicycle to defend the country, forget it, I can't raise the bride price, I can't be this villain.
The standard of marriage in the countryside is 150, Li Dong thinks it is very good, you must know that more than ten yuan in the 60s was enough, but now it has risen a lot, not to sell pigs, and pigs are only more than four cents and a catty.
"Gotta bring some pork. ”
Li Dong wants to eat a lot, some good things, candy, snacks, by the way, look at my brain. "I still have to bring wine, and it's hard to buy some wine without a wine ticket. "The second pot has a box, and other wine bottles are very strange, so you don't need to use beer bottles to fill a box of loose wine.
Plastic pots didn't seem to be common at the time, so you can't bring a jar of sorghum wine.
Han Zhuang's drinking loose wine is a normal operation, Li Dong finally hesitated, let's go to the second pot, at most deduct the trademark from the bottle, this is not the first time to do this.
Just as I was pondering this, my phone rang. "Jiajia. ”
"Brother-in-law, will you come over tomorrow?"
Li Dong slapped his forehead, why did he forget about it. "It's definitely going to pass, I've got you ready for your birthday. ”
"I knew my brother-in-law wouldn't forget. ”
Gao Jiajia said with a smile. "Then you come over early, my mother said to make sugar cakes. ”
"Okay. ”
Sugar cakes, this is Li Dong's favorite food for his birthday, Gao Lan learned to make it at first, but he couldn't do it, but he didn't expect the sugar cakes made by his mother-in-law to be better, this is not almost every year Li Dong celebrates his birthday Zhang Fengqin makes it, and slowly other people also do it on their birthdays.
The sugar cake is simple, and the noodles are fermented, brown sugar is added to the inside, and the outside is wrapped in sesame seeds, which is roasted and swollen, and the syrup flows out in one bite, and the sesame seeds are fragrant, and the cake is crispy and molasses inside.
Similar to baked cakes, it is a little different, especially the noodles have to be fermented overnight, which is not too cumbersome to make.
"It's just right, let's go into the city tomorrow and go to East Street. ”
The third child and Cheng Cheng came over and booked this bed on Taobao, but the quilt or something must be bought in the supermarket, and then Han Weiguo has to get wedding supplies, some Taobao may not be able to buy it, and they have to go to East Street.
Early the next morning, Li Dong loaded some mountain goods, and in the morning Zhang Fengqin called himself and said that a few old sisters wanted some mushrooms, lion's mane mushrooms, fungus, and a few soft-shelled turtles and yellow eels.
"There aren't many lion's mane mushrooms either. ”
Li Dong took a look. "There are few soft-shelled turtles, and there are not a few yellow eels, turn back to the third and Cheng Cheng to come, just bring some fresh back, express delivery is not convenient for people to take the line at most by car, it seems that you have to go back to 78 years to bring some back. ”
Packed up, Li Dong explained to Han Weishan, there are no old customers to book today, come to fish, the price of fish is available, and then there are tourists who come to experience, these tourists don't need to be specially greeted, just be careful not to hurt yourself.
Although there are reminder cards, these young people who can play are sometimes not paying attention, and there are even some young people who are able to act in front of the girls.
"Uncle Weishan, I have to feed the reservoir once in the afternoon, I have fed all the animals at home, I have brought it with me, just add some water to Xiaohua, take care of it and don't catch it." "The wild boy doesn't have to pay attention to it at all, this guy runs in the mountains every day, Li Dong is really afraid that he will be eaten by others that day.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. ”
Li Dong put the stamps and a small set of the third edition of the RMB commemorative booklet into his backpack and went out to start the car, and the car went out of the farm and met a few old people on the road.
"To the city?"
"yes, go see the girl. ”
When the car left Hanjia Village, Li Dongxin said that the villagers were still very warm and simple.
The car is not going fast, all the way is not more than forty old drivers are so stable, as for the green light within five seconds, but this is a mistake, definitely not counted, more than ten seconds, but that is Hanhan, within ten seconds, but that is stable.
Li Dong looked at the green light and there were eight seconds left, so why quickly stop and brake, we are not the ones who grabbed those seven seconds and eight seconds. As for the horn sound in the back, it may be that it was pressed by mistake, Li Dong waited for the green light to turn into a red light, neutral, waiting.
Thirty seconds of green light is more comfortable, start slowly, the car behind him swished over, Li Dongxin said, the county road does not know whether it can exceed forty, the quality of these people in modern society.
"Brother-in-law, have you arrived?"
"Parking. ”
Reversing into storage, why is it so difficult, Li Dong has been upside down for a long time, and finally parked, the city is not as good as his own farm, and the parking spaces are too searchable, this is not a big car, and it occupies two parking spaces to play normally.
"Thank you. ”
Li Dong took the key, he hadn't driven for a long time, and his car skills were unfamiliar, otherwise he would have parked in a few minutes.
"You're welcome. ”
The guy parked his car, and said in his heart, I'm easy, I have to park the Passat when I drive a Polo, you say, there is still heaven.
Li Dong carried the snakeskin bag and went upstairs. "It smells so good. ”
"It's just been cooked. ”
"Dongzi is here. ”
Zhang Fengqin and several old sisters are there, and the good guys are staring at their snakeskin bags, okay, take out the things, they are all good things.
"Li Dong, is there still Huang Jing last time?"
"There's more, I'll bring it to you next time if you want it. ”
"That's good, I'll ask for a few more soaking wines. ”
"Okay. ”
"Aunt Wang, this is the yellow eel you want, a total of three catties, and a catty of soft-shelled turtles. Li Feng soft-shelled turtle and yellow eel handed it to Aunt Wang.
"Aunt Zhang, this is the lion's mane mushroom you want. ”
"Aunt Liu, this is the dried wild fruit you wanted. ”
Li Dong remembered to take winter bamboo shoots with him. "I've made some winter bamboo shoots in the past few days, it's very good, Aunt Liu, Aunt Wang, and Aunt Zhang will send some for you to taste, not much, don't dislike it." ”
"Thank you, kid. ”
Winter bamboo shoots, but a few people want to buy some.
"I'll ask when I get back, we haven't got a friend of mine yet. ”
"I got it back, you tell your mother, and we'll buy some. ”
"Okay. ”
"Sister Zhang, let's go back. ”
"Why don't you go, eat a sugar cake. ”
"I'm still waiting to cook at home, so I'm leaving. ”
A few people left, and Li Dong had more than 2,000 yuan in his hand, and the things were not cheap.
Zhang Fengqin said hello and went back to the kitchen, the cake was still burning. "Jiajia, where's Dad?"
"Went to get the cake. ”
Gao Jiajia teased the great sage, the great sage stared at the TV, this thing likes to watch cartoons, and doesn't want to pay attention to Gao Jiajia, the woman is annoying.
"Oh, Jingyi is almost out of school, I'll pick it up. ”
The school was not far away, Li Dong brought two sweet cakes, and the impatient Dasheng who was harassed came to the experimental primary school.
"Daddy?"
Li Jingyi was pleasantly surprised to find that Li Dong came with the Great Sage, and then she cheered and hugged the Great Sage, Li Dong smiled bitterly and withdrew her hand, and she was a girl who wanted to give herself a hug.
"Monkeys. ”
"It's the Great Sage. ”
The children in Li Jingyi's class are familiar with the Great Sage, and a group of little ones are overjoyed. "Dad, why did you come here and bring the Great Sage?"
"Come and celebrate your aunt's birthday. ”
"Don't give it too much sugar, it's been eating for the first two days. ”
"Hee-hee Dasheng is still so much fun. ”
Qu Yingying teased the great sage, holding the paws of the great sage all the way, I don't know how many people on the road looked at this monkey was too funny, wearing a vest and leather skirt, and the grapefruit paws led and called the girl.
From time to time, there are children who point to the great sage and shout. "Monkey, monkey. ”
Li Dong didn't dare to stay longer, maybe the kind man called the city management or the police. "Yingying, goodbye. ”
"Jingyi, I'll go to your house to do my homework in a moment. ”
Qu Yingying looked at the Great Sage reluctantly.
"The Great Sage is gone. ”
Now the Great Sage belongs to herself, Li Jingyi said with a smile.
