Seventy cannon fodder is a ruthless man

Chapter 34 Drinking, Reporting

Unlike the Tian family, the Zhou family had to lock up food, oil, salt, and everything. Zhou Cuiling easily measured rice and noodles from her parents’ room. The staple food was millet porridge, and then steamed a basket of three-dimensional noodles.

First cover the face and wake up, the two girls took the vegetable basket and went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables.

Aunt Yang is diligent, and Zhou Cuiling also helps out at ordinary times. Their vegetable garden is very well taken care of. In October, the melons and vegetables are still flourishing.

When Meng Tao saw the two fruit-laden orange trees, she told Zhou Cuiling that she had given Zhang Guoqing an orange, saying that Zhou Cuiling had picked it by herself.

Zhou Cuiling scolded: "What an idiot. If you keep it and don't eat it, people will not eat it if you see it is divided. But my oranges are late-ripening varieties, so they can be kept until the New Year, and he will eat enough when he comes back."

Meng Tao asked, "Where are the fruit trees? I also want to find a few to plant in the backyard, so that I can eat them whenever I want."

Zhou Cuiling was amused: "You can really do it. How many more trees do you want to plant? Then it will be a group. You can plant one or two trees in your own garden, and it's good to pick the fruit and change the oil and salt."

"One or two trees is fine, how can there be?"

"I don't know where it is. My father went to visit the orchard of Fengming Commune a few years ago. When he saw the unqualified fruit tree seedlings that they had thrown away, he picked up two of them and put them in the back of the bicycle. I planted it, but I didn’t expect that it would bear fruit when it was planted.”

Does Fengming Commune have an orchard?Meng Tao remembered this information.

In this era, private trading is restricted. Although it is possible to go to the commune for a big fair every month in the countryside, grain and food are not included in the trade. It is quite difficult to eat fruit. If you want to sell it, you can send it to a public purchasing station, and the price is very low. It really only has enough money to buy oil and salt.

However, there is a black market. Meng Tao thinks that her space can change the quality of fruit. She is really short of money. She can make some money by starting a fruit selling business, right?
After picking a basket full of vegetables, Meng Tao saw the small spindle-shaped bitter gourd hanging on the fence, and pointed at it and said, "This can also be cooked, don't you eat it at home?"

Zhou Cuiling said: "This melon is too bitter. My mother grows it every year, but the whole family doesn't like it."

"I saw people stir-fry this melon with eggs in the dining hall of Qianjin Steel Plant. Many people rush to eat it. I heard that eating it can clear the liver heat, which is good for the body, especially for the eyes."

"Really? My dad said that after he went to the commune, he read a lot of documents and wrote reports, and his eyes were confused. Then I'll fry this one tonight, and I'll make it for my dad more often in the future."

"If you don't like it, just eat it every few days."

"Yes, feed him once a week."

Zhou Cuiling went up and picked seven or eight bitter gourds in one go.

The two brought the vegetable basket back to the kitchen, one chose vegetables to wash and cut vegetables, the other kneaded noodles, steamed wotou, boiled millet porridge, and then started cooking the same way. The plain ones filled a table, and there were two bottles of bamboo leaf green wine in the middle.

Meng Tao went to the consignment store and originally wanted to buy bulk wine, which cost [-] cents a pound. Later, when she saw the bottled bamboo leaf green wine, it cost [-] cents a bottle, so she bought two bottles.

Zhou Shian pushed the bicycle and entered the courtyard with the three sons who were caught on the road. He smelled the meat smell of the sausage and was greatly surprised. The boys were excited: Do you have meat today?Great!

They rushed into the house and saw their sister came back from the city, and there was another round of cheers.

Zhou Cuiling asked her younger brothers to wash their hands, and then told Zhou Shian that Meng Tao brought back the sausages and beef jerky tonight from the provincial capital. She also bought wine and wanted to invite Dad and Uncle Bao for two drinks.

Zhou Shian looked at Meng Tao somewhat unexpectedly. This bunny-like little girl has changed a lot in just a few days. After a trip to the provincial capital, she already knows the world.

He nodded: "Okay, then let your brother go and invite Uncle Bao over, let's dip in the light of peach blossoms and have a few drinks."

Zhou Cuiling's three younger brothers received gifts from Meng Tao, each of them a small book, which has already made them very happy, plus a big apple and a handful of toffee, they have won the grand prize with later generations, and they are so happy that they can't find the north. The eldest brother immediately volunteered to invite Captain Bao Shunfeng, the second brother followed Aunt Yang's instructions to call Zhou Shiping, the second uncle of the Zhou family, and the third brother was busy moving stools and arranging seats.

Bao Shunfeng came over quickly, and as soon as they met, he asked Meng Tao: "Cuiling's partner said on the phone that you agreed to cut off with Tian Zhigao. What is the specific situation, can you tell us?"

Aunt Yang smiled and said, "Uncle Bao, let's sit down to eat first. These two girls hurried back from the area early in the morning. They didn't eat breakfast and lunch. They even cooked us a table of dishes when they were hungry."

Zhou Shian opened the wine, the house was full of wine, and he waved at the wind: "Come on, this wine, sausage and beef jerky, but the peach blossom girl specially honored us."

Bao Shunfeng couldn't help the attractive aroma of wine, he walked to the table and sat down, looking at the table full of dishes, slamming his mouth: "Prodigal girl! I can't hold a few money in my pocket, what are you buying this for? What kind of beef jerky is this? Sausages are precious things!"

Meng Tao, who was serving porridge, smiled bitterly: This "prodigal" hat cannot be taken off.

Zhou Cuiling said: "Uncle Bao, you have wronged the peach blossoms. She doesn't know where to buy them. It was given by someone who recognized her as a girl. She also knew that it was precious and precious, so she asked us to taste it together."

"Recognize Taohua as a girl? What else?"

"Yes, that person is Zhang Guoqing's teacher. His surname is also Meng. When he saw Taohua, he said he looked like his sister, so he recognized his relatives. Taohua was going home. The beef jerky is brought to Taohua."

"Is that so, Peach Blossom?"

Meng Tao replied: "Yes, Brother Meng also said that if there is a chance, he will come to Shui Village to see it."

Bao Shunfeng nodded: "Okay, as long as he is sincere, we can always entertain him when he comes."

At this time, Uncle Tuesday came over, and he also made a few jokes. The atmosphere at the dinner table became lighter. Everyone sat around the table and raised their chopsticks to eat. Everyone was hungry.

Those who drink should always take their time, sip a sip of wine and talk a lot, and when the people who eat are full and leave the table, the three men are still drinking and talking there.

Meng Tao didn't leave the dinner table, Zhou Shian and Bao Shunfeng asked her to sit next to her and talk about the progress of the steel mill in detail, and she honestly reported it.

Zhou Shian and Bao Shunfeng got angry again when they heard it. Bao Shunfeng scolded Tian Zhigao and said that Tian Zhigao was not a thing. Zhou Shian settled his wine glass and said that the treatment of advancing to the steel mill was too light. He just didn’t have time. , definitely not the result.

Uncle Tuesday said to Meng Tao, "You have worked hard in the Tian family for four years. If you hold on to it, the girls in the city will be helpless. They must be separated."

Meng Tao shook her head: "Seeing how they are doing so well, I'm completely an outsider. Tian Zhigao sees me as someone I don't know. The twisted melon is not sweet, so I don't want him anymore."

Uncle Tuesday shook his head and sighed: "In this way, your grandfather will be wasting his time. Tian Zhigao has great prospects, and the benefits will be taken by others."

"What good can it do? According to Tian Zhigao's temperament, I don't think it will be any good. There is no good thing in the Tian family. It is right that Taohua leaves." Zhou Cuiling said.

Aunt Yang nodded in agreement. As the saying goes, paper can't contain fire. Although the cadres of Linshui Village have done their job to prevent the villagers from going out and spreading rumors, who can manage hundreds of mouths?The Tian family's "poisoning" incident inevitably spread, and the surrounding villages and the entire commune knew about it.

Now the Tian family has a bad reputation. Not only Linshui Village despised them, but the villagers in the surrounding villages all claimed that they should not let the Tian family into their village. The two youngest sons of the Tian family were originally studying in the commune middle school. I just dropped out of school and went home.

Who cares about people like that, who are more profitable and richer?
