Chapter 25: Dark Shadows
Put it in the house?
Xu Xiangyang quickly stopped when he heard this, "Come on, let's put it outside, it's not hot in this room and there is temperature, what should I do if it's broken?"
He didn't want to eat something to hurt his stomach, the medical conditions were not very good at this time, and if something really went wrong with eating, there was really no place to cry.
Wang Xiumin hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed. But where to put it is a problem, she has to die of distress if someone steals it.
There is no place to hide things outside, and I didn't build a warehouse when I first arrived home, so these two catties of meat stumped the three people.
For the first time, Xu Xiangyang was worried about the whereabouts of two catties of meat, and deeply felt that in this era, only eating can make people think.
In the end, Wang Xiumin took advantage of the darkness to tie the pork to a rope and threw it on the roof of the shed.
The beams of the grass hut were empty, but I was afraid of rats, so I wrapped them in rags and buried them with a thick layer of snow.
Once the meat is hidden, all that's left is the oil.
I didn't get much back, just five catties, and there was a lot of oil from these refining. After the New Year, Xu Xiangyang left, enough for them to eat for a while.
At this time, I don't often stir-fry, and a little oil can be used for a long time.
Wang Xiumin was a little worried, refining oil is good, but the fragrance is too uncomfortable.
It's not that I'm afraid that the next door will come to find trouble, but I'm afraid that other people will come.
You must know that this year's oil is reluctant to be bought by ordinary people, and you have to eat it for a year after saving a few taels of oil tickets throughout the year.
Want to buy slab oil refining? It doesn't matter, you can't buy it.
"Dog, this plate of oil is not easy to buy, how did you buy it? and meat tickets. She turned her head and asked suddenly.
Xu Xiangyang was stunned for a moment when asked, and then said: "Isn't this knowing a good big brother, look at my poor people from the countryside, some of them are from the slaughterhouse." I just spend a little more money, and I don't want my ticket. ”
Xu Xiangyang didn't believe it himself, but he didn't have any good excuses, he just hoped he wouldn't ask again.
When Wang Xiumin heard this, he glanced at him suspiciously, "Are all the people in this city so stupid? ”
"Why are you asking what you're doing? It's not good to sell your stuff. Xu Guangtian interrupted her, and then said: "It's a good thing that the child has the ability to break through, why ask questions?"
In fact, he also wanted to ask this, but after thinking about it, it was all for the sake of the family, and they had never been to the city.
I've heard that people in the city eat half and throw half away, but what if that's really the case?
Wang Xiumin rolled her eyes, but didn't ask again.
Xu Guangtian is right, they just asked, they know, what can they do? These things may not be indebted to people.
The two of them pondered how to refine oil, Xu Xiangyang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to the kang to stay.
It's good to have a job, after all, it's in the city, and I know a lot of people.
But now that he doesn't have a job, what should he do?
If these two people knew that his job was gone, they would probably be very disappointed.
Xu Xiangyang sat on the kang, looking at Wang Xiumin's busy figure, with full expectations for the future on his face.
Even in the memory of the original owner, I hadn't seen her have such an expression before.
In the evening, the family of three ate a meal of bud rice porridge and pickles, and ate a lot at noon, but not much at night.
At this time, it is usually two meals, after all, no one wants to waste food without work.
In the Northeast, there is a lot of land, and other places may experience starvation, but not here.
At most, you can't starve to death, there are all kinds of wild vegetables in the mountains, and if you are diligent, you can get enough food rations all year round.
In the middle of the night, Xu Xiangyang never slept, and the two people next to him kept snoring in a duet, which was so noisy that people couldn't sleep at all.
At this time, there was a sound of "creaking" snow outside, although the pressure was extremely low, but at night, there was no other sound at all.
He was a little puzzled, although everyone lived in a large courtyard, but they were all separated by a fence, and the distance was not to say that they could be heard when they walked to the toilet.
Therefore, Xu Xiangyang felt that someone was hanging around next to his house.
He got up and looked out the window, where a dark shadow was sneaking around the side of the house, trying to reach the roof outside.
Roof?
He suddenly remembered what he was hiding today, could it be seen by others?
That's right.
When Xu Guangshan outside went out to go to the toilet today, he saw Xu Guangtian staggering in front of the house.
If you look closely, what he is holding in his hand is actually a piece of meat from the boss.
The man threw the meat on the beams of the house, and he was still tied to the rope, and he saw it.
But after wandering around for a long time, he didn't find the rope, it was half an hour, and if he didn't go home, he would freeze to death.
There was really no way, Xu Guangshan could only return with a feather, and this time he didn't find anything.
But the piece of meat, he remembers, is clear.
It must be pork belly, you can see a white layer at night, and there must be a lot of fat.
Xu Xiangyang listened to the people leaving in the house, and glanced carefully, the figure was walking towards Xu Guangshan's courtyard next to him.
What did he come for?
I couldn't figure out what was going on, so I had to go to bed first.
He had been listening to the movement outside just now, and he was sleepy.
The next morning, Xu Xiangyang got up to go to the toilet and saw that there were no footprints in the yard.
It was snowing outside and nothing could be seen.
Looking at the snowflakes floating in the sky, he turned his head to look at the other people's houses, and they all got up early to push the snow to clean the yard.
The three households next door are no exception, and their family has just gotten up.
When he came back from the toilet, Xu Xiangyang cleared the snow in the yard.
No way, who let him be such a daddy?
Wang Xiumin got up and saw that the yard was cleaned, and immediately went into the house and slapped Xu Guangtian, who was sleeping.
"What time is it and you haven't gotten up?" she forgot that she had just gotten up.
Xu Guangtian was a little stunned, and when he looked up and saw that his daughter-in-law was angry, he quickly got up.
"What's wrong?" he scratched his hair, not knowing what was going on.
Wang Xiumin rolled her eyes and didn't say anything, "Dogan works so hard in the city, and finally comes home from vacation, why don't you clean up and let Dogan work?"
Now Xu Xiangyang is the breadwinner, she didn't feel anything before, but now as soon as the child works, she feels distressed.
After all, Xu Xiangyang didn't do anything before, he moved every call, not to mention that he didn't work at all.
Now that the child has grown up, she feels distressed as a mother when she does some work.
When Xu Guangtian heard her say this, he looked out the window, but it was Xu Xiangyang who was working.
"You're right, Dogan has worked hard enough in the city, and he can't make it easier to come back. I'll get up and work now, don't worry. As he spoke, he quickly put on his clothes.
