As soon as it got dark, Li Shangyong's Jinlu Big 28 car drove through the gate.

Wang Yaqing was basically in front of and behind Li Shangyong. Li Shangyong entered the house before hanging his coat on the clothes rack, and then she entered the house.

I heard that there was a large piece of beef rib stewed at home. Wang Bo asked Li Zhongxin to bring it over. The two of them were very excited.

When Wang Bo and Feng Xiaowu entered the room, their mouths had not yet closed.

Li Shangyong and Wang Yaqing placed the dining table, brought in two more stools from the outer room, and began to chat with Wang Bo about recent events.

Li Shangyong was very curious. He had not seen this brother-in-law for more than a month at most. How could he be so successful?

In the eight-yin iron pot on the stove in the outer room, the sizzling sound of beef stew was heart-stirring, and through the gap in the pot lid, a rich aroma of meat wafted out.

The meat is in the pot and people are in the house. At this time, everyone in the family, old and young, begins to take deep breaths, and their faces are filled with the light of happiness.

Especially Feng Xiaowu, his eyes flashed with a green light at this time.

The conditions in Feng Xiaowu's family have always been poor. His mother was always sick, and most of the family money was spent on his mother's medical treatment. From the time he was born to his current age, he has never eaten beef.

I have seen old cows running around in the fields, but I have never eaten beef.

In the 1980s, there were many people like Feng Xiaowu, especially in rural areas, where there were almost no opportunities to eat beef.

When the topic of beef came up, Li Shangyong patted Wang Bo hard on the shoulder and said: "You kid, you are doing well now! You can even afford beef and roast chicken. I am seventeen years old

I started doing carpentry, and worked in XJ for three years. Now I am a senior carpenter, but I can’t make as much money as your kid fishing. You are very good now. I will ask your eldest sister to ask the matchmakers around to see if there are any suitable ones.

It’s time for you to have a family.”

Li Shangyong originally looked down upon Wang Bo, his brother-in-law. He felt that if Wang Bo did not do his job properly and spent all day eating, drinking and having fun with some gangsters, something big would happen sooner or later.

Basically all the tickets in the house were taken away by Wang Bo, and I never saw this guy buying anything for the house, as if it was a matter of course.

Now he suddenly felt that Wang Bo had grown up, had a grateful heart, knew how to be grateful, knew how to honor his second grandfather, and knew how to buy some things for the family.

Wang Bo grinned widely, touched the back of his head, and said with a smile: "Sister, you don't care about my brother-in-law, he is laughing at me! Isn't this just the money I've made recently! Also, I'm still young now.

, I won’t consider getting married now.”

When Wang Bo said that, an unusual flush appeared on his face. This matter of buying beef really had nothing to do with him. However, he had to shamelessly agree to it, which made him feel a little embarrassed, especially when he was a big man.

My brother-in-law actually said that he would introduce someone to him in front of so many people.

Just as a large pot of beef stew with potatoes was served to the table, Wang Bo eagerly picked up a large piece and took a bite.

After the scalding hot beef reached Wang Bo's mouth, he was so hot that he shook his head. Seeing the meat churning in his mouth, he was not willing to spit it out.

In this day and age, one would rather burn one's tongue by eating meat than waste the hard-earned meat.

Great-grandfather Wang Xiutai is in a very happy mood today. After all, Wang Bo, the naughty third grandson, has finally learned how to make money, and how to respect his elders.

When my great-grandfather was happy, he made an exception and opened a bottle of Xifeng Daqu that he had kept at home for a long time, and wanted to take a sip with Wang Bo.

The four two-and-a-half-cent wine cups were filled, Fu Liji's roast chicken was torn open, the salted cucumbers and salted coriander roots were placed, and everyone began to eat and drink happily.

After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, we talked about the difficulties of life in the past and the improvement of life recently, and the atmosphere in the room became more lively.

Li Zhongxin's great-grandfather drank two ounces of wine and started talking.

Wang Xiutai was the officer of the reception and deportation station and also a cultural person. She said some encouraging words to Wang Bo and Feng Xiaowu. After burping again, she happily said to Wang Bo and Feng Xiaowu: "The beef and potatoes on the table have one

It’s a very interesting allusion that you probably won’t know. Today I’m happy to tell you about it. Do you want to hear it?”

"Of course I want to hear it. The allusion you told will definitely sound good." When Wang Bo answered, he even flattered me without leaving any trace.

Wang Xiutai stood up straight, glanced at Wang Bo and Feng Xiaowu, and took another sip of wine. After placing the wine cup firmly on the table, he shook his head slightly like an old scholar and said: "This allusion

Yes! It comes from Chairman Mao’s "Niannujiao? Questions and Answers of Birds"."

After saying the title of the poem, he tapped the table and said loudly: "Kunpeng spreads his wings, ninety thousand miles away, turning the Fuyao horn.

Carrying the blue sky on my back and looking down,

They are all human castles.

There was continuous artillery fire and bullet marks everywhere,

Scare the sparrows.

What the hell, oh my, I want to leap.

May I ask where you are going?

Que'er replied:

There is a fairy mountain and a palace. I don’t see the bright moonlight of the autumn of the year before last.

Three treaties were signed.

There is still food to eat. Once the potatoes are cooked, add beef. No farting is allowed. Just watch the world turn upside down."

After saying this, Wang Xiutai drank the remaining sip of wine on the table, feeling a lot of contentment in her tipsy state.

As soon as the words "Don't fart" came out, both Wang Bo and Feng Xiaowu were confused.

How come Chairman Mao’s poems, which are so good, come up with a poem that prohibits farting?

In these days, being disrespectful to Chairman Mao is a big deal.

The two people looked at each other, as if they were both stupid at this moment.

Seeing Wang Bo and Feng Xiaowu looking confused, Wang Yaqing burst out laughing.

Before grandpa could speak, he smiled and explained to the two of them: "You two probably don't know that grandpa is particularly fond of disparaging words about the Soviets. One is beef stew with potatoes, and no farting is allowed. I just heard grandpa say before,

I didn’t know what was going on. Later I learned that Khrushchev, then general secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, visited Hungary and said in a speech at a mass rally that in communist Hungary you could often eat gulaxi.

Rashi is a representative home-cooked dish in Hungarian food. It consists of beef and potatoes, red pepper and other seasonings stewed in a small clay pot. It is juicy and delicious... In our case

The side is actually beef and potatoes."?

Chairman Mao felt that what Khrushchev should have said was that communism was a very delicious plate of "roast beef with potatoes."

He immediately denied it. He didn't say it directly, but made the meaning clear in the poem. In other words, the sentence "potatoes and beef stew, no farting" was to expose Ruschov's tampering with Marxism-Leninism and distortion of communism.

"

After Wang Bo and Feng Xiaowu listened to Wang Yaqing's explanation, they suddenly understood and had a feeling of seeing the sun through the clouds.

They recalled the allusion of beef and potatoes for a while, and strongly requested Wang Yaqing to write down Chairman Mao's poem for the two of them, and they had to go back and recite it.

After collecting the poems written by Wang Yaqing to them as if they had found a treasure, the two of them kept telling the allusion again.

For young people like them, if they know more of such allusions, they will have something to hold their own when chatting with friends in the future.

Li Zhongxin heard these two allusions from his mother many times in later generations, but it was when his mother was already old and didn't like to eat beef that he accidentally mentioned them. Now that I relived them, I felt extremely warm.

.

The whole family enjoyed this meal happily.
