Chapter 18 The Pride of Guifei Lazy Man
The morning call to end work will sound.
Hu Yuying took her eldest daughter and a hoe on their backs and cut a path home from the bank between the fields.
"Mom, do you smell it?"
When she was still a hundred meters away from home, Li Yunshang suddenly stamped her feet and sniffed hard with the tip of her nose. It smelled so good!
"Who is roasting meat?"
The eldest girl was so disappointed that she took a sip of saliva.
It’s not that I’m greedy, but I have no memory of the last time I ate meat, and it’s an instinctive reaction in my body.
Hu Yuying smiled and touched her daughter's braid, "Isn't it almost the end of the year? The brigade is killing pigs. If our family can share some, we will be able to eat it soon."
Oh, it turns out that the last time I ate meat was during the Chinese New Year last year.
Thinking of this, the girl was a little depressed.
"The annual pigs are distributed according to the labor force. Our family only has two laborers. I can only count half of them, not much."
Last year, I just divided a small bunch. There were many people in my family, and I felt like I had eaten it, but I also felt like I hadn’t eaten it.
Hu Yuying said with relief: "After this year's hard work, things will be better in the future. Your eldest brother is about to become a full-time employee. Your younger brother should also finish his studies this year. When he comes back, he will be a strong labor force, stronger than the two of us."
Li Yunshang was just about to say that his eldest brother wanted to get a wife, so how could he have any spare money to help the family?
Suddenly I heard my mother talking about my younger brother, and I couldn't help but feel sad, revealing a pair of beautiful pear dimples.
That's true.
Jiankun is a good worker.
Plowing fields, plowing fields, grinding rice, building water trucks... I'm proficient in everything, but it's all technical work. Earning ten work points a day is like playing.
If a certain guy wanted to know what she was thinking, he would feel ashamed: Sister, please stop talking, I am ashamed of my ancestors, I have forgotten my origin...
The further they walked, the mother and daughter felt something strange. Why did the scent get stronger and stronger?
When they walked to the fence of their house, the two looked at each other.
It seems like it floated out from my home...
How is this possible?
But, the chimney is really smoking.
This is incredible!
Young people are always more impatient. Li Yunshang threw off her long and tight legs, pushed open the fence gate, and rushed straight into the adobe house.
If you can’t figure it out, find out.
After a while, a pleasant surprise sounded in the room.
"Oh, where did our meat come from? And these..."
Sometimes happiness comes so violently that it may not be a surprise, but more of a shock.
If the second sister is still a little uncontrollably excited, her face is full of excitement. Then my mother’s expression is full of anxiety.
There was no need for them to question, Li Jiankun took the initiative to explain.
Then he explained how to discover business opportunities and how to get rewards, but it only simplified the process and obscured the income——
Most of them thought they were so-called rewards, so they brought back the food and their outfits.
If you really take out the 800 yuan in your pocket, you will be frightened if you don’t keep it all.
Li Jiankun knew that his mother had a blue plaid handkerchief, which was a color that could never be erased from his childhood memory.
Every time when he went to school, his mother would spread it out carefully and give him the largest few coins inside.
My mother kept this habit even when she was old.
When he was looking for his household registration book a few days ago, he saw the blue checkered handkerchief again. There was money in it... 30 cents and 7 cents.
This is all their family’s cash assets.
Hu Yuying breathed a sigh of relief. When working for communes, teams, and enterprises, you can't make mistakes.
"So, can these things be left behind?" Li Yunshang asked uncertainly.
It turns out that this is the whole story... Guifei's lazy man laughed and waved his hand, "Why can't we keep it? Wang Bingquan's money will not be in vain if he doesn't make it. He is the number one loser of the commune cadres!"
This guy has a deep prejudice against Lao Wang, thinking that he is not a real person, he cheats and cheats, and takes advantage of everything.
The two are of the same age.
Naturally, I don’t have a good impression of the commune either. If someone ties you up, try it...
"Ha!" Li Yunshang was ecstatic for a moment, "Jiankun, you are so awesome!"
A girly look on her face.
A certain item was held slightly, and he raised his hand to press it, "It's just so so..."
At this time, there was a scream in his ears, and Li Jiankun thought there was an earthquake. Then he looked at his mother, lying on the stove, holding a spatula, and was heartbroken.
"How do you stew these fatty meat slices like this?"
She looked at her husband in disbelief, and the subtext was probably...are you sa?
The lazy guy in Guifei didn't care, "What's wrong, I still have some left."
What's in the pot is white radish stew. It's quite a big pot, and it's pretty white, but don't tell me, it's quite fragrant.
Li Jiankun knew what his mother was going to say. Li Guifei was indeed not a person who lived a normal life - refining oil.
"You should refine the oil first. Wouldn't it be better to use the oil residue for stew?"
I still remember that back then, when my eldest brother got married and my second sister got married, he also joined the workforce. After the family conditions improved, my mother would often make a bowl of lard with fat meat and put it in a basket on the beam of the hanging house.
Whenever I come home from work and the hot rice is served, my mother always signals to stir it first.
When mixed, the hot rice mixes with the cold oil at the bottom of the bowl, creating an alluring aroma.
Even if you don’t want any food, you can still finish the whole bowl and your appetite will be greatly increased every time.
Later, when my mother got older, she was no longer allowed to cook. Some restaurants also had lard bibimbap, which was a must-try whenever I could, but I couldn’t taste the same taste as before.
Guifei's lazy man scratched his head and said, "Yeah."
"You, you, you." It hurt, but Hu Yuying was not willing to scold him.
"I'll do it, you get out, get out."
Li Jiankun is quite curious, is there any remedy for this?
Facts have proved that he still underestimated his mother.
Take out all the fat meat slices, drain them, and fry them properly.
Pour the leftover lard residue back into the radish cubes and simmer over high heat for a few minutes, it will still be fragrant.
It's just what he wanted.
The only thing that didn't make sense was that the meal was still old rice porridge.
The rice at home is really not enough to support another meal. Even the lazy people in Guifei who don’t know how to live can realize this.
Even such a lunch is still delicious, comparable to the Chinese New Year.
At the dinner table, Li Jiankun promptly raised his decision to take the college entrance examination.
"Pfft!" Guifei's lazy man spit out the porridge with a mouthful of porridge.
Li Jiankun wiped his face, Ning is my father.
But, sister, why do you look like this too? You bite that piece of carrot in your mouth.
And...Mom?
Damn it!
Are you really that bad? I took the exam in my last life, even though I didn’t pass it.
The lazy guy in Guifei wiped his mouth and didn't bother to clean up the mess. He stared and asked: "Are you serious?"
"Truer than gold." This guy said angrily.
"Don't think about it again?"
I miss you, second uncle!
What should I do if I, Wang Shanhe, really want to beat him?
"If you don't want to, it's useless for anyone to say it. You must take the test!"
"Tsk, you...why don't you listen to my advice? Don't you know what your level is? Do you remember that I asked you to write Spring Festival couplets last year?
"The red plum blossoms are in bud and proud of the spring snow, and the green willows are blooming to welcome the new year. Your brother copied it from the county and gave it to you to write. What did you write?
"The bud of a flower is written as the bun of the bun; the bud is written as the beard of the beard."
"After being beaten up by your brother, you forgot about it so quickly?
