Chapter 27: Borrowing the Light of the Dog's Egg (Rewarding and Changing)
That night, Wang Xiumin made vegetable dumplings with Erhe noodles.
The radish meat is stuffed and very fragrant.
The mouth of the family of three was full of oil, and the fragrance was finished.
Xu Guangtian lay on the kang and patted his stomach, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is called the New Year." ”
In the past, during the Chinese New Year, there were at most a few dumplings, and the meat was very small.
Every year, there are several catties of meat, and all of them go into other people's stomachs.
This time, I am in charge of my own affairs, and I can eat as much as I want.
Wang Xiumin is also very satisfied, how long has it been since she has eaten meat like this. I haven't eaten like this since I got married.
She kicked Xu Guangtian and said, "It's not that our dog is out of the egg, or it's less than half a catty of meat, which is not enough to stuff your teeth." I've been married to you for so many years, and you can't make a little difference if you are happy or borrow the light of the dog's egg?"
Having said that, she didn't mean to dislike it, she didn't let the old couple suppress it before, but now they have developed a lazy temperament.
If you want to change, you can't do it in a while.
Xu Guangtian smiled, "Yes, yes, it's all borrowed from the dog's egg." In the future, I will work hard, let's try to build a big house. ”
Xu Xiangyang ate and drank enough to sit on the kang, not that he didn't want to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
At this time, men pay attention to not doing these things, and the original owner did not do them before, if he suddenly changes too much, I am afraid it will arouse suspicion.
It's good now, they earn their own money to support their families, and they take care of the family.
Two days passed in a blink of an eye, and on the day of the New Year, every household was steaming.
It's not cooking, it's just burning the fire, and you can't let the stove pit get cold anyway.
The home for the Chinese New Year must be warmer, so that when you look at it from the outside, it also means that people are doing well at home.
It's not that you want to save face, who doesn't want to have a good omen for the New Year?
Wang Xiumin prepared what she needed to eat at night early, and there was nothing to prepare.
A dish, cabbage potato chips, and dumplings.
At this time, it is already very good to eat dumplings and vegetables, isn't that the case for the Chinese New Year?
Some people can't eat dumplings, and they don't have white bread dumplings after dividing the meat, so they can only steam bud rice noodles.
Xu Xiangyang went out with Zhang Tiequan early in the morning, and he was idle at this time, waiting for the dinner in the evening.
It wasn't interesting for him to stay at home, but Zhang Tiequan came to look for him, so they went out for a stroll together.
"Brother Xiangyang, when are you going back to work in the city?" Zhang Tiequan squatted on the snowy mountain, looking at the small mountain village below.
Xu Xiangyang also stood next to him, looking down at the village below.
After hearing Zhang Tiequan's words, he replied: "I don't know yet, I may leave in two days." ”
He doesn't have any ideas now, and if he doesn't have a job, he has to find another one, but how can he find a job so easy to find now?
But he can't stay at home all the time, otherwise the two of them should guess that his job is gone.
Zhang Tiequan looked at him enviously and said, "Brother Xiangyang, you really have the ability, who doesn't want to work in the city, our brigade will work in the city with you and the captain's family." ”
The whole team envied them, but unfortunately, others had little chance for such a job.
Xu Xiangyang didn't talk, his job is gone, what's the use of envy?
If other people knew, they might not be able to tell how to laugh at people.
He didn't care, but the two people in the family were estimated to have a glass heart for a while.
In this era, rural people can carp jump over the dragon gate to work in the city, which is a great thing.
If it is known that he has no job, those people will definitely die of joy in their hearts.
The two of them stayed on the snowy mountain for a short time when they noticed that a large group of people had come up.
Most of them are young people in their teens, and there are a few children.
"Brother Xiangyang, Liu Quanshan is here. Zhang Tiequan turned his head and glanced at him.
Xu Xiangyang searched in his memory, and then he knew who this Liu Quanshan was.
He was the son of the captain of the brigade, working as a laborer in a textile factory in the city.
Xu Xiangyang looked at him as tall as one meter six, and he looked quite strong.
"Yo, isn't this Xiangyang? Liu Quanshan took the initiative to come over and say hello.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded, "Brother Shan, this is to bring my younger brothers and sisters over to play." ”
Liu Quanshan is surrounded by his relatives, so he almost knows each other.
"yes, I heard you work in the city? As he spoke, he handed out a cigarette to Xu Xiangyang.
At this time, the cigarettes were not cheap, although Xu Xiangyang smoked, but still refused.
"Working as a temporary worker in the grain depot is just a mixed meal, how can it compare to a regular job at Brother Shan. Xu Xiangyang has always held and chattered.
Liu Quanshan was very satisfied with what he said, and he originally wanted to come over to make a joke, but now he is embarrassed to speak.
"Yes, if there's something going on, you'll find me in the textile mill. Liu Quanshan lit a cigarette alone and stood there swallowing clouds and spitting fog.
The young people next to him looked at him with envious eyes one by one.
Can you not envy this? Dry tobacco is not affordable for ordinary people, let alone this kind of packaged cigarettes?
Xu Xiangyang looked at him and seemed to enjoy the envy of others, and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart.
But at this time, there is a regular job, which is already very good in the countryside.
He said hello and went down the mountain with Zhang Tiequan.
Zhang Tiequan said: "Brother Xiangyang, why didn't you smoke his cigarette just now?"
In the past, the two of them also saved up to buy cigarettes, and they had to taste one cigarette for a day.
Now that Xu Xiangyang is gone, he can't save money himself, and he hasn't smoked for several days.
"Do you want to smoke?" Xu Xiangyang glanced back at him.
Seeing his embarrassed expression, you know.
"Come on. Xu Xiangyang took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him, and then lit a cigarette himself.
This is the front door that he bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives when he came back, a pack of dollars, but it is of high standard.
"Yo, big front door!" Zhang Tiequan couldn't help but exclaim, and then put the cigarette in front of his nose and sniffed it vigorously.
"It's still good smoke!" he lit with a match, and enjoyed.
When the cigarette was finished, he smacked his lips and said, "No wonder you didn't smoke Liu Quanshan's cigarette just now, your feelings are now smoking the front door." ”
It's not that Zhang Tiequan is sour, but he feels that Xu Xiangyang is getting better and better now, and he is also happy.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and didn't refute, he had to return someone else's cigarette.
Although he didn't know what that person's temperament was, he never wanted to take other people's things from what he had.
Before the two separated, Xu Xiangyang gave him two cigarettes and asked him to take them back to smoke.
What he has is that he usually smokes in the space, and this pack is also used to send cigarettes.
Zhang Tiequan didn't mention how happy he was, and he was not polite, he smiled and went back with a cigarette.
