Chapter four hundred and sixteen, before leaving(1/2)
When we returned to the county seat, it was already dark.
This is why he came back here because he still had to get some things back.
When he came to the yard, he came in carrying a big sack.
Zhou Xiaomei watched Zhou Xiaochuan come back with things, and knew that he had made food for herself again, but this time there was probably too much.
Zhou Xiaochuan looked at Li Guangzhi who was in a daze and said with a blank expression, "Brother-in-law, hurry up and open the basement."
Li Guangzhi heard the words and said softly, "Okay."
After saying that, he quickly ran to the room and opened the door.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan came to the entrance of the cave and threw the things directly.
Anyway, there are some useful things inside.
Then he turned around and returned to the car, carrying another large sack.
Zhou Xiaomei exclaimed when she saw this, "So many."
Then several people followed him into the house.
Arriving at the basement, Li Guangzhi opened the contents and was extremely surprised.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and said, "Sister, I don't know when I will come back. I'll get you more."
"You, you have too much."
There was a lot of stuff, including all kinds of pickled bacon, salted chicken, and beef, which weighed about a hundred pounds.
The total amount of rice and flour weighs about one hundred kilograms.
There are also about twenty pounds of soybean oil.
As for corn flour and the like, he didn't get it. Those things are not expensive and easy to buy.
"Sister, don't be reluctant to eat it. This thing looks like a lot, and it will take half a year."
Li Guangzhi smiled awkwardly.
I just borrowed 400 yuan and now I have bought so many things.
Moreover, these foods cannot be bought for 400 yuan. Added together, it is estimated to cost thousands of yuan.
Even so, Zhou Xiaochuan didn't mention the 400 yuan.
What is given to you is food.
What you borrowed is something else.
After a few people came up, Zhou Xiaochuan said: "Sister, don't give this to me as a gift or exchange it for something else. Otherwise, I won't get it for you next time."
Zhou Xiaomei rolled her eyes when she heard this, "Nonsense. You can't buy such a good thing normally, why should I take it out to exchange for something."
Mother Li didn't follow because she didn't know what was underneath.
But after hearing Zhou Xiaomei's surprised voice, I thought that all the things here were good.
Thinking of her son's misfortune, she didn't say anything.
What do you eat at home?
Although it was all arranged by Zhou Xiaomei, she could just burn it the next day and didn't have to ask if there was anything else at home, but her hometown didn't get any benefits at all.
Zhou Xiaomei would often bring some meat back.
She knew that she would definitely get some back this time.
Zhou Xiaomei thought for a moment, then went down and took out two kilograms of bacon and ten kilograms of rice.
Ignoring other people's expressions, she said to Mother Yang: "Mom, you can give this to Dad tomorrow. You can't let us eat and drink well, and let Dad eat bran-thick vegetables."
Mother Yang nodded when she heard this, "Hey, okay!"
Then I thought to myself silently.
The things in this house must not be known to the boss, otherwise it will cause chaos again.
Only then did Zhou Xiaomei say to Zhou Xiaochuan: "You haven't eaten yet, so I left some for you. Just wait a moment and I'll bring it to you."
After saying that, he went to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of white rice and a bowl of vegetables.
There are also eggs and meat slices in it.
It must have been specially prepared.
After eating, several people went to bed.
The next morning, we had breakfast.
Before leaving, I told Zhou Xiaomei that if anything happens, remember to go find Yang Yuemei.
Zhou Xiaochuan took Xiaomi back.
In the next few days, he invited some familiar people from the textile factory to have a meal together.
It's also a farewell.
All that's left is to empty the basement.
At this time, he had already placed several boxes in the basement.
Inside were all dry goods prepared during this period. He made a small compartment in the box and put some quicklime in it to prevent moisture and mildew.
Even if these things are eaten once a day, it is enough for two people to eat until the Chinese New Year.
Time also slowly came to the 15th night.
The house is very lively today.
Three people from Zhao Qinian's family were invited because two of them were leaving tomorrow.
Get the dumplings on the bus and get the noodles off.
In the afternoon, Grandma Zhao brought Zhao Qingqing over. Along with Yang Yuemei and Xiaomi, the four of them kneaded dough and rolled out dumpling wrappers.
Yang Yuemei rolled out the dough, while the remaining three people made dumplings.
Zhao Qingqing was doing better, but Zhou Xiaomi's condition was simply miserable.
As for Zhou Xiaochuan, he was chopping meat and mixing meat fillings there.
The one just now was made with leek and eggs.
What he is making now is pure pork belly stuffing, and he also prepared some shrimp and corn on the side.
I’m going to make three kinds of dumplings today.
Zhou Xiaochuan looked at the dumplings made by the little guy and said with a smile: "Xiaomi, you can make them yourself and eat them yourself. They are so ugly. Don't you know how Grandma Zhao makes them?"
Zhou Xiaomi said indifferently: "Okay, if you don't have a bag, you are not allowed to eat."
Hearing his words, Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and said, "I don't have any buns, but I'm mixing the stuffing."
The little guy didn't care about him, shook his head and said proudly, "I don't care, you said it yourself. You just don't have a bag. You don't plan to eat."
"If you tell me more, I'll put chili pepper in the shrimp."
"Mom, look at me... I know how to bully me after learning from my second brother." Zhou Xiaomi pursed her lips and said dissatisfiedly.
Grandma Zhao and the three of them laughed loudly when they heard this.
Five people worked together, the division of labor was clear, and the speed was very fast.
Zhou Xiaochuan did it because of time constraints.
When the dumplings came out of the pot, Zhao Qinian rushed to get the meal.
Several people were busy setting out bowls, chopsticks and serving dumplings.
As soon as he entered the door, he sniffed the smell in the air and nodded with his hand: "Yes, it smells really good, stuffed with leeks and eggs."
"Grandpa Zhao, your nose is really amazing." Zhou Xiaochuan laughed when he heard this.
Next to him, Zhou Xiaomi was placing the dishes and chopsticks. Hearing this, he hurriedly said to Zhao Qinian: "Grandpa Zhao, you hit him, my brother is cursing."
After saying that, he hurried to the kitchen.
Zhao Qinian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then burst into laughter.
Pointing at Zhou Xiaochuan, he smiled and said, "You brat, do you always talk about millet? Otherwise, she wouldn't remember it so clearly."
Zhou Xiaochuan smiled awkwardly when he heard this and did not answer the call.
I often say that Xiaomi’s nose is amazing, like a dog’s nose.
But he really didn't mean that just now, so it can't be explained, and the explanation becomes true.
Grandma Zhao and several other people came out carrying a large basin of dumplings.
Yang Yuemei greeted a few people, "Okay, it's time to eat."
Several people sat down one after another.
