After the conference, Jiang Xinyu and her daughter returned home. After eating rice porridge with shrimp paste, Chen Xiuyun put the meat into the pepper salt water that had been cooked and cooled thoroughly, and then took the basin into a cool place in the back room.
.
"Mom, how many days can this stay?"
When Chen Yi bought the meat, she thought it would be enough to have a meal in the evening, but Comrade Chen Xiuyun didn't plan to cook it today! She said she would keep it for two days before eating it.
Chen Xiuyun thought about how many days the shrimp paste and loach could be eaten. Naturally, the meat had to be stored for two days before eating. This was considered a sustainable development for her.
"If it can be left for three days, it will get damaged any longer."
Jiang Xinyu didn't know what the meat would taste like after being soaked in water for three days before eating it. She just sighed that Chen Xiuyun had so many ways to do it. It was in vain that she thought she could eat braised pork at night.
Chen Xiuyun was still awake at this moment, so she went to the secretary's house with her basin in hand to borrow a sewing machine.
Speaking of Chen Yi's side, he gave Xu Nan two melons and asked him to help find the natal brother of the wife of the state-owned hotel manager. The manager's brother-in-law's son knew Xu Nan, and Chen Yi mentioned buying some in the county.
The deer antler wine plus the big front door gift from He Yong’s family.
This gift is already quite serious, and Chen Yi would be troubled when he goes out, but after sitting at someone else's house for less than half an hour, he already said he would help with this.
He has to go to the county early tomorrow morning. Chen Yi didn't return to the team in the evening, so naturally he didn't see the excitement in the team.
Since the conference, the reputation of Jiang Laosan's family has become bad. Who is willing to associate with people who like to steal things? Every household is not rich to begin with. If you steal again, won't it make you poorer?
The amount of chemical fertilizers that the brigade can buy every year is limited. If they want to fertilize their land, they mainly use pig manure.
The team leader and his men began to clean the pig pens in the team. The pig manure had not been cleaned for a while. Jiang Laosan and his family were holding their noses to pick the manure to fertilize the ground.
Jiang Baoqin couldn't bear the pole, so she could only carry a bucket in one hand. She was almost fainted from the smoke. She saw Song Minghan from a distance, only to see Song Minghan raise his head to see her. Before she could say anything, he turned around and left.
Jiang Baoqin felt so uncomfortable.
She was thinking that as long as Brother Song didn't propose not to marry her, these would be nothing. He was a responsible person and would definitely not give up.
Brother Song now avoids her just because she dislikes the smell!
Jiang Baoqin turned around and saw Jiang Xinyu, who was wearing a straw hat and carrying a basket, chatting and laughing with Widow Wang as she headed to Guizi Mountain to collect pigweed.
Jiang Baoqin glared at her secretly and continued carrying the dung bucket to the end of the field.
Jiang Xinyu didn't want to go to work, but Chen Xiuyun went to work early in the morning to receive the assignment. Although she was not called, when she woke up, she felt more or less unhappy.
This is like a top student who studies diligently, but a bad student doesn’t want to learn, but seeing that everyone else is learning, there is no other way, so the bad student has no choice but to follow along!
Jiang Xinyu ate a pancake and went to get the task. It happened that the secretary's daughter took leave today and couldn't work, so the captain gave her the task of cutting pig grass.
There are a total of twenty-four pigs in the brigade's pig pen, and they are fat and white, raised by Widow Wang.
There are only two workers in the pig pen. Widow Wang, a little expert in raising pigs, is the main force, and the secretary's daughter is the assistant. On weekdays, they cut pig grass and mix it with grass. If there is any problem with the pigs, Widow Wang has to be pointed out. Widow Wang
After raising pigs for so many years, I have a lot of experience.
Twenty-four pigs eat a lot of pigweed in a day. The pigweed at the foot of the mountain is quite lush. Jiang Xinyu feels like she is about to melt under the sun.
Widow Wang looked at the sweat, and the exposed skin on her face was red, and said: "Go and cool down under the tree for a while."
Jiang Xinyu was not good at manual labor, so she sat under the shade of a tree and fanned herself with a straw hat.
She would simply obey and rest because she wanted to tell Widow Wang that she was not a diligent person. She wanted her to recognize her true face in advance so as not to have too high expectations of her in the future.
"Auntie, please stop doing this and come here to rest for a while."
Widow Wang didn't listen, and her men kept moving, "I'll get more, and we'll go back in a while. When we get to the pigsty, you cut the grass and mix it with the chaff, and I will continue cutting myself."
Jiang Xinyu was speechless.
These female comrades are so capable.
"It's really hard to get points for this job. Look at my sister, she is much more comfortable than us in the bookstore without being exposed to the wind or the sun every day."
Widow Wang wiped her sweat and said, "Isn't that right? The farmers are the ones who suffer the most."
While mowing the pigweed, she also caught a dozen green caterpillars. Widow Wang collected them all and prepared to take them back to feed the chickens.
While Jiang Xinyu was chopping pig grass and mixing bran in the pig pen, Yongzi came and said that her eldest sister Jiang Zhenzhen and her brother-in-law Zhang Hua were back.
Jiang Xinyu couldn't finish the work in an hour and a half, so she asked Yongzi to tell her that she wouldn't go back until noon.
The last time Jiang Zhenzhen returned to her parents' home, she had a conflict with her husband's family. I don't know what happened this time.
Jiang Zhenzhen just went back to her parents' home to visit her, and to tell her parents that her job was back.
Yes, the work is back in her hands.
The fourth sibling, Pan Yu, was so delicate that she couldn't eat anything after becoming pregnant. She felt lazy and didn't want to go to work. The job of salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative returned to her.
When Jiang Xinyu dragged her tired body back home and washed her face with cold water, she was stunned when she heard Jiang Zhenzhen's words.
Is it possible to change jobs these days? It really opened her eyes.
After Jiang Xinyu raised a question, Jiang Zhenzhen, who was eating melon, said: "Anyway, it's just the salary in total, and it's not much. Who cares? If you don't count the wrong accounts and ask for less money and votes, you'll be fine."
"You two came back at the right time today. There happens to be a piece of meat at home. Why don't you two leave in the evening?"
Jiang Zhenzhen shook her head, "I changed shifts with someone else. I won't go to work until the day after tomorrow. I will stay at home for the day today."
Jiang Zhenzhen also brought vegetables home this time. She knew that melons were planted in the fields this year. Before she went to the county town, she heard from her second sister that the melons in the fields were ripe. She saw the opportunity and came back with her man.
Zhang Hua held the child and sat cautiously under the shed. Jiang Xinyu, the aunt, took the child and coaxed it. The child grinned when he saw her.
"Brother-in-law, can you kill a loach? There is a basin of loach that spits out mud." Jiang Xinyu raised her chin slightly towards the loach basin, "Those loaches are so slippery that I can't even handle them."
Zhang Hua hurriedly said: "I know how to kill, I will do it."
What happened last time made Zhang Hua awkward. If he had the opportunity to perform at his wife's parents' house, he would not hesitate to do so.
"You have to use scissors to break open a loach. Little sister, go find the scissors."
Jiang Xinyu carried the child into Chen Xiuyun's house. When she saw the scissors placed on top of a pile of rags, her eyes lit up.
These useless rags can be used as hair decorations.
