Chapter 24: Having an Idea
Xu Xiangyang shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't be tired, it's like this to work and earn money." ”
His words made Wang Zhongshan stunned for a moment, and then he glanced at him with a complicated expression.
"The child has grown up!" his words made the others nod their heads as well.
In the past, it was too troublesome to let Xu Xiangyang go to make two taels of soy sauce, but this time he lost weight significantly, but he didn't say a word of complaint.
Isn't this just that the child has grown up and knows that life is not easy?
Wang Xiumin doesn't care about whether a child grows up or not, in her eyes, a child will always be a child.
"Dad, the dog egg got back a pound of meat filling, it's all chopped, let's wrap cabbage-filled dumplings at noon." As she spoke, she took out the lunch box in her bag, which was Xu Xiangyang's lunch box with chicken last night.
When I opened it, wasn't it just minced meat?
There are also three catties of white noodles, all brought over together.
Xu Xiangyang already knew that Wang Xiumin had to bring things over, the bag was bulging, and he was carrying Zhang Xiufen on his back when he went out, it must be these things.
"What are you going to do with it? You can eat it at home. Wang Zhongshan frowned, but he was very happy in his heart, the children could think of him, which was more comfortable than eating dragon meat.
Wang Xiumin smiled and said: "It's not a dog's egg, I have to eat dumplings with you, look at how filial this child is." ”
Xu Xiangyang was a little speechless, when did he say this? But he understood that Wang Xiumin said this on purpose, in order to make the old couple happy.
Sure enough, the old couple had a smile on their faces and were very satisfied.
Wang Xiumin went to make noodles, and the old lady also went to help chop the cabbage filling. If you don't eat dumplings every year, who is not happy?
The old lady pulled Wang Xiumin in the outhouse to speak, "Xiumin, how good is it for you to keep this minced meat for the New Year? Seeing that the New Year is over, there is nothing at home, right? Is there enough food?"
When the old people are worried about their children, especially Wang Xiumin's daughter, they are afraid that they will be hungry and cold.
Wang Xiumin waved his hand and said, "Mother, you don't have to worry, the dog has a salary, give me ten yuan." When the time comes, if there is not enough food to eat, I will go to the brigade to buy some, and I can deal with it. ”
It's true that the family is about to break down, but I can't say it. If she didn't have the ten dollars, she would definitely open her mouth to borrow money.
But there are only two people in my mother's family, although my father has a subsidy, but the two of them are okay to eat enough and feed three mouths, how did they live?
The job was found by Wang Yat-sen, and the meat that Xu Xiangyang got back this time must be sent here to eat.
She also thinks about it, not that she doesn't want to do anything.
The old lady saw that she had an idea, and understood that her daughter was not the one who suffered the loss, so she was relieved and did not say anything more.
Several people who ate cabbage and pork dumplings at noon were satisfied, especially Wang Xiumin's two people, who ate meat for two days in a row, not to mention how good it was, this day was better than the New Year.
When he returned home in the afternoon, Xu Xiangyang pondered for a while, and then beckoned Xu Guangtian to go out.
"What's the matter, why did you think about it at this time. Xu Guangtian looked at the sky outside and it was dark.
At this time, it will be dark early, it will be dark at three o'clock, and it will be cloudy outside, and it may snow.
Xu Xiangyang saw that there was no one around, so he whispered in his ear: "I left some things outside yesterday and didn't take them back, for fear that my grandmother would see it." ”
You can't skip a meal of dumplings during the Chinese New Year, right?
The minced meat that I got back yesterday was sent to Wang Yat-sen's house to eat, so what will I do for the New Year in two days?
When Xu Guangtian heard that there was something else, his eyes lit up. "Dog, you know how to hide something, go, dad will take it with you." ”
Xu Xiangyang doesn't want to complain about this nickname anymore, forget it, what is love called.
When the two of them came to the head of the village, it was dark outside, and they couldn't see far away at all.
Xu Xiangyang stood on the side of the road and said, "Dad, you wait here, I'll go get something." ”
In fact, there is nothing, and you have to take it out of the space first, and it will be inconvenient if someone follows you.
Xu Guangtian didn't think much about it, thinking that his son wanted him to help release the wind, so he nodded and agreed.
Xu Xiangyang was relieved to enter the grove on the side of the road, walked to a place that was almost invisible, and took out a bag of five catties of white noodles, as well as two catties of pork and one catty of pork filling.
In addition, I took a little pork fat, this thing can be used to refine oil, and there is just no oil at home.
The rest is the fifty catties of bud rice noodles that were packed before, take out one piece, and then carry it out on your back.
If he had kept it before, he wouldn't have been able to carry these things, but now it's easy to hold.
"So many things?" Xu Guangtian almost dropped his jaw when he saw a large bag of things.
How much does it cost?
Immediately, he wanted to drool again.
My son is so promising, there should be meat in it, right?
Xu Xiangyang hurriedly asked him to carry the things back, there were not many people going out at this time, but it didn't mean that there were none.
The two of them took advantage of the night to quietly return to the small courtyard, closed the door, and Xu Guangtian directly plugged in the door.
"Why are you two going? Don't eat at night?" Wang Xiumin didn't even look at the sound of the door opening when they came back.
Xu Xiangyang threw the things in his hand on the kang table, and the cloth bag was filled with pork and meat.
The rest of the grain was carried by Xu Guangtian, he put it on the ground, and then opened it and took a look.
It's all fine bud rice noodles, which can be regarded as fine grains.
After reading it, he hurriedly tied the bag, for fear of being seen by others.
"Hurry up and open the cellar!" Xu Guangtian beckoned to the people on the kang.
When Wang Xiumin heard something on the table, he knew what was going on.
Especially if the bag is not tied, the frozen meat is exposed.
She quickly took a key from her waistband and went down to open the cellar.
Although this house is small, it also has a cellar.
This was a custom in the early days of the Northeast, but it was also convenient to buy vegetables in later generations, and there was no need for cellar storage.
The cellar is one meter five high, one meter wide, and there is only one grain or something, and there are too many things to put down.
The main thing is that there are not so many things for you to put at this time, unless a large family lives together, and the grain is put in the cellar.
Wang Xiumin looked at the cabbage inside, immediately made room, took out the remaining two catties of bud rice noodles, and ate it at night.
When the things were put away, she was still a little confused. How did you get things back in a daze?
"Take out this meat and freeze it?" Xu Guangtian said with some hesitation.
After all, there is no place to hide things outside, and it would be a shame if someone stole them.
It's not easy to eat meat these days, who doesn't want to eat meat?
Wang Xiumin rolled her eyes, looked at the frozen meat rarely, and said, "What do you put outside, what if someone steals it again?" ”
Anyway, it's not hot at all in this room except for the kang, and it won't be bad if you soak in water.
