Chapter 427

In the living room of Liang Jianping's house, there is an incandescent lamp that only has 15W.

Even in the middle of the night when the electricity supply was relatively abundant, there was still very dim light, illuminating the living room of his house which was not spacious in the first place.

The people in the photo are blurry and the furniture is vague.

Just like the cupboard standing against the wall. It seems that there is such an object there.

But if you really open your eyes and take a closer look, the more you look at it, the more hazy it becomes, and you can't tell whether it is a cupboard or something else.

The living room of Liang Jianping's house is very small.

In fact, strictly speaking, this should be regarded as a main house in a rural area, with an area of ​​only 12.3 square meters.

The room is very messy and there are many furnishings.

On a wire in the corner, a miscellaneous collection of clothes with indistinguishable colors and styles was hanging to dry.

Under the pile of clothes was a small bed with messy bedding.

Just because Luo Xuan came in as a guest, the two eldest girls who were sleeping on the bed quickly got up and hid in the bedroom.

"Come, come, sit, sit, sit."

Liang Jianping asked Luo Xuan to sit down, and then turned to tell his family: "Zhang Li, go to the kitchen and help your mother cook a bowl of brown sugar and eggs for the guests.

Zhang Yue, go to Mrs. Zhao's house next door and borrow some brown sugar. Her daughter-in-law has just finished her confinement, so there should be some brown sugar left.

Zhang Xin, go to Mrs. Wang’s house and order some pumpkin vine tender tips... By the way, ask her to take the bacon she borrowed last time and see if she can find a way to return it?"

Liang Jianping breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the five children to go out, busy preparing eggs, brown sugar, bacon and melon seedlings...

Look at this posture,

Tonight, he would not only serve Luo Xuan with brown sugar poached eggs.

And after waiting for a while, I’m afraid I’ll have to cook a hearty meal. Don’t you know if it’s dinner or breakfast?

Or it could be a late night snack to entertain Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan, who was sitting on a bench in the dark living room, was stunned and said: "It's better not to stop working. Master Liang, how many children do you have in your family?"

"Five, all girls."

Liang Jianping chuckled: "At that time, I had just graduated from technical secondary school, and the state assigned me a job.

At that time, I was full of confidence in the future, and I could be considered high-spirited, so I had that motivation."

Liang Jianping sighed: "But if you want me to give birth now, I am the oldest, so I only need one child."

It would be pointless to have so many more children, and both adults and children would suffer together."

After hearing this, Luo Xuan smiled slightly and said nothing.

What Liang Jianping just said is actually the truth.

It is said that starting from this year, there will be no newlyweds in some production teams.

In the past, relatively speaking, commune members' families had relatively abundant food.

At that time, it was not so easy to find a wife in the countryside.

But it is easy to get a wife now.

Even if you only use a pumpkin or a winter melon to cover your hands, you can pretend it is a betrothal gift.

A yellow-flowered girl can be taken home.

Unfortunately,

Nowadays it is easy to get a wife, but the problem is that after you get married, what will you do to support your family?

So starting from this year, many production teams do not have a newlywed couple.

It is said that there are some prospective mothers-in-law and father-in-laws who personally take their daughters with them and send them to those families who are engaged to marry them!

If you don't want it, it won't work, so you have to put it in other people's homes.

——After all, one less person in the family means one less food ration is consumed, right?

"Hey, Comrade Luo Xuan."

Liang Jianping was sitting in the living room, rubbing his hands together rapidly.

I saw him looking miserable, but he finally plucked up the courage, raised his head and asked Luo Xuan: "Do you have any plans to marry a wife? If so, just tell me.

We have many young women of appropriate age in our production team! Moreover, these girls are very, very hard-working and take care of their families."

Seeing that Luo Xuan remained silent,

Liang Jianping quickly added, "No betrothal gift required! Oh, it's not that I don't want it... but it's up to you to decide on the betrothal gift.

3, 2 towels, a kettle, etc., as long as it makes sense. Now we don’t pay attention to these vain etiquettes. You can use anything as a betrothal gift. It’s not that hard.”

"Ahem... Daddy, why don't you call your eldest daughter to help?"

Liang Jianping's lover is busy in the kitchen.

At this time, he poked his head from the kitchen and told his man: "We have guests at home. Our eldest daughter, who has always been the most diligent, why is she sleeping so deeply today? Go and call her."

The structure of Liang Jianping's house is very strange: there is a wall between the living room and the kitchen, but it is only half-built.

It looks similar to the "Ming Chef" style found in some restaurants in later generations.

Maybe it’s because Liang Jianping has a large family.

This kind of structure is used when you need help in the kitchen or when you need something.

As long as you stand in front of the stove and roar, people in the living room and bedroom can hear it.

It is also very convenient to deliver meals to the living room.

"Oh", Liang Jianping responded.

Immediately he got up and knocked on the door of another bedroom.

Not long after,

A graceful girl with neatly combed hair and well-dressed clothes walked out of the bedroom.

From the time this girl and her mother started asking her to get up to the time she walked out, it only lasted 3 or 4 minutes.

So needless to say, Luo Xuan could also guess that this girl had actually gotten up early.

I was just busy dressing up and didn't leave the bedroom for a while.

Moreover, Liang Jianping’s lover just coughed dryly on purpose. In fact, he probably disliked Liang Jianping for talking too much.

Such a nice young man is sitting in his own home.

Why did Liang Jianping start talking to the girls in the village about matchmaking?

And the other party hasn't made an offer yet, but you've started to take the initiative to lower the price?

We all have to sit down and talk slowly about whether we should give a bride price or not! How could we start lowering the price on our own as soon as it comes up?

I don’t understand the reason why cheap goods are not good!

therefore,

Liang Jianping's lover interrupted him...

The living room is narrow.

If the girl wanted to go out from the living room door and then go around to the kitchen, she had to press against Luo Xuan's back and move out little by little.

It's not easy to walk when seeing each other.

so,

Luo Xuan quickly stood up and prepared to get out of the way.

I never thought that this girl would not mind being squeezed between strangers and men.

When he stood up like this, he just happened to push the girl behind him against the wall.

Very flexible, slightly annoying...

"Ah, sorry, sorry!"

Luo Xuan apologized quickly,

Unfortunately, the place was too narrow. As soon as I stood up, my head was covered in the pile of clothes hanging to dry, and it became more and more messy.

"Giggle--"

A burst of laughter like silver bells sounded from behind, and the girl stretched out her hands to free Luo Xuan, who was in a hurry, from the pile of clothes.

"I'm really sorry, our place is too small."

While helping Luo Xuan pull off the messy clothes on her head, the girl explained sheepishly: "Originally, if there were people in our house during the day, these clothes would be dried outside.

It’s just that you have to take it back at night and dry it at home. Otherwise, you won’t even have the wire when you wake up the next morning.”

The two spent a long time rubbing each other there.

However, neither of them felt embarrassed at all.

First, the living room itself is messy and the light is very dim, making it difficult to see clearly.

The dimness of the light village and the blurred vision give people the feeling of being in a secret room.

Secondly, this girl may have followed the adults in her family to sell vegetable seedlings since she was a child.

Running around,

Bargain with people every day.

You also have to compete with others for the position on the bullock cart, and you need to compete with others for the position of the stall in the market.

Over time,

This girl herself has also developed a fierce temperament. In her body, she is quite free and uninhibited.

Not long after, Liang Jianping's family got busy.

A bowl of brown sugar poached eggs was served first, and Liang Jianping asked Luo Xuan to drink the bowl of eggs first as a way to cushion his stomach.

Brown sugar poached eggs, add a little bit of fermented glutinous rice into it.

This is the highest etiquette for Bashu people to entertain distinguished guests during this period.

It's a pity that Luo Xuan hates drinking this kind of brown sugar poached eggs.

But what others have worked hard for a long time to make is useless if you don’t eat it.

Faced with the dilemma, Luo Xuan could only excuse that it was too hot and let it cool down first.

Once cool, it is allowed to dry until subsequent meals are served.

A bowl of vegetarian fried pumpkin flowers, then a bowl of vegetarian fried pumpkin vine tips, and a bowl of boiled old pumpkin.

Then two bowls of meat dishes were served: a bowl of bacon with garlic sprouts, and a plate of about 10 slices of steamed sausage.

It is estimated that the meat in these two dishes combined will not exceed 3 taels...

When guests are invited to have a meal, the host must sit at the table and stay with them for a while.

So Liang Jianping also sat down and scooped out a bowl of rice made from sweet potato flour, cornmeal and rice.

Sitting there symbolically, eating with Luo Xuan.

His lover also sat beside him, but she just excused herself by saying that she wouldn't eat in the middle of the night... she wanted to lose weight.

Luo Xuan glanced at Liang Jianping, his skinny lover, but said nothing.

Life is not easy for everyone. Every moment, we have to think about how to save a little bit.

Just like the five daughters of Liang Jianping's family, they came out to help organize the meal. After the meal was ready, they all went back to their rooms in a very sensible manner.

Are you saying they don't want to eat?

Luo Xuan clearly saw that when those girls passed by him, their eyes did not stay on his handsome face.

Instead, he fell into the bowl of brown sugar-poached eggs placed in front of him...

Liang Jianping’s lover was probably sleeping there, starving.

In order to save energy.

Her throat doesn't lie.

But the culture of face is there! So I will always find a step for myself to step down...

It's good for everyone to know these things, but it would be pointless if they exposed them.

After eating less than half a bowl of rice, Luo Xuan put down his rice bowl as he refuted that he was not hungry.

Liang Jianping seems to be used to saving money all the time.

When he saw Luo Xuan put down his rice bowl, he also stopped his chopsticks, saying that eating too much at night was not conducive to digestion.

In fact, his purpose of doing this was just to save the half a bowl of rice in the bowl.

tomorrow morning,

When it was dark, his lover would carry a heavy basket on his back and walk for more than 10 miles to sell vegetables and seedlings.

Just the small half bowl of rice saved tonight will be boiled with some water early tomorrow morning.

At least it can be regarded as a bowl of porridge that she can drink for breakfast...

"Let's tidy up the table."

Luo Xuan wiped his mouth, then went to the motorcycle and took the lantern over.

Although Liang Jingping's home has electric lights, the light is not much stronger than a kerosene lamp.

Light the lantern.

The light in the living room suddenly became brighter.

only,

Because of the sufficient light, the small living room of Liang Jianping's house now looks even more messy and cramped.

"Now, I will tell you in detail how your machinery factory should transform."

Luo Xuan said: "It may be a bit long. I wonder how your memory is?"

"ah?"

Liang Jianping was stunned!

Immediately,

A look of ecstasy appeared on his face, "Are you really willing to give me advice?"

Luo Xuan nodded.

He and Liang Jianping had made an agreement before: he would take him to the cave to hunt for treasure; and then he would teach him how to develop their machinery factory in the future.

only,

What exactly did you find in the cave?

Luo Xuan would never tell Liang Jianping about this.

Then the only excuse is that I am a guest at his house and eat and drink for free, which is really embarrassing.

Just take this development path as a hand-covering gift and give it to Liang Jianping!
