Chapter 1370 [1369] Discharged (4000)

The eggplants are not fried. Grandpa said that the eggplants are too oily, so let them be eaten in cold salad. The cold eggplants are steamed in a pan. After they are cooked, let them cool and tear them apart. Mix the prepared garlic juice and chili oil. Drizzle it on top, and the delicious cold eggplant is ready, which not only saves fuel but also saves fire, which is very convenient.

In the evening, my mother-in-law is really lively here. There are many children and a lot of food, and they are all half-grown boys. I have eaten up the two baskets of steamed buns, the wild vegetables, the cold eggplants, and the fried shredded potatoes. There is really nothing left.

The two sisters-in-law didn't come to help, and they didn't send anything. This is also reasonable. After all, they have a lot of children to support. Grandpa, they told them to eat the food they gave, didn't they make it clear that they would not give it to their grandchildren?

However, according to her observation, grandpa is very fond of grandson, and will call grandson aside to eat something delicious. Neither granddaughter nor grandson has a share. She has lived here for so long, and grandpa has never been called to eat by herself. She will definitely not tell her mother this, because grandma can hold a bowl of water, and occasionally secretly give her a piece of rock candy or a piece of snack.

She didn't feel unbalanced in her heart. In the hearts of many old people, grandchildren are better than grandchildren.

The purpose of her living here was also to get to know Chen Xiumin, and she didn't plan to live here for five or six years. Who could bear such a long stay?

Fortunately, the distance between the two sides is not too far. She plans to live here for a semester, and in the next semester she will walk from home to Zhenzhuang with a bamboo basket on her back. It is a little far away, but there are plenty of wild vegetables and firewood along the way Pick it up, pick it up on the way home after school, save time and then go to the river beach to pick it up after school.

It just takes more than an hour to walk there. Fortunately, it is an elementary school now, and it is not too early to go to school. The big deal is to get up early, and they should be able to go to the same school when they are in junior high school.

It's just that this plan can never keep up with the changes. After my mother stayed in the hospital for half a month and came home, my father stopped her from doing heavy work and called her back home from her grandfather's house. The school was naturally transferred to the school of his own production team. Because the mother needs more care from her as a daughter, so that they can rest assured.

It's a bit regrettable, but considering my mother's physical condition, it's really not suitable to work outside for a day, and I have to do homework when I get home. She can help her do more homework by staying with her. Anyway, Chen Xiumin She also knew Bian, and it was a pity that they couldn't grow up together, but she had already decided to go to Zhenzhuang to play with her when she had time, and she couldn't break this relationship because of this.

"Why did you transfer away? I just got acquainted with each other." As she got along more, Chen Xiumin gradually fell in love with her 'warm-hearted' classmate.

"It's not that my mother is in poor health. My brother and the others are rough men, how can they take care of others? My father thinks I'm the most reliable, so he let me go back. I'm close enough to take care of the family, so he can feel at ease outside. It's okay. Son, I will come to play with you in a week, or you come to my house to play, we are friends for a day and for the rest of our lives, and I will regard you as a good friend for a lifetime."

Chen Xiumin was very moved, "Success, go back and ask Shang Caixia and the others to go to your house to play together. By the way, where is your house, is it easy to find?"

"It's easy to find. When you arrive in our village, just ask where Ding Zhenlong's house is, and someone will bring you here. Now that you're here, I'll let my brother go down to the river to find some fish and shrimp, and I'll treat you to a big meal later."

Chen Xiumin chuckled: "That's good, okay, that's it, we will keep in touch in the future."

"Yes, I will." Ding Wei said goodbye to Chen Xiumin with a smile, went back to her grandmother's house to pack a basket, carried her change of clothes, schoolbag and so on, and left Zhenzhuang under the watchful eye of her grandparents, heading towards the house where their home was located. Fotan head away.

There are also seven or eight kilometers to go back this way. In order to get some wild vegetables by the way, she walked directly on the road on the embankment. The river embankment was built around the river, and their village and grandma’s village are in a straight line, which is close. It’s not too close, it’s the same as the road, but there are few people, and it’s on the embankment, where wild vegetables grow, young and old. I heard that this year is the last year to build the embankment, and I plan to plant mulberry trees on both sides of the embankment. How about planting mulberry and raising silkworms!
In fact, Ding Wei was still a little worried about the danger of walking this way. After all, she is young now and has no space to cover, but people always take chances. Fortunately, she found the embankment when she got on the embankment There were people working inside and outside the ground, which made her let out a long breath.

There are very few people in the fields on both sides of the embankment in later generations, because they are all mechanized planting, which is very different from now. She is also very old, and she forgot such an important point, which caused her to worry for a long time.

Because she handled the transfer procedures by herself, she didn't actually have any student status in this era. The school gave her a certificate, refunded part of the tuition fee, and stamped her to go to the school of their Hongqi production team. Sophomore class will do.

But Ding Wei has already made up her mind that she will wait half a year before going to school in the spring, forget about this semester, taking care of her mother is more important than going to an intermediate class.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, there was no one on the embankment, and the slides on both sides of the embankment were covered with weeds. If you pick it up, you will find wild vegetables such as gray vegetables, pig tail vegetables, etc. There is still a lot of space in her back basket, so I searched for it as I walked. Niao Ya pinched, usually an hour's journey, she walked for almost two hours before arriving home.

When returning home, the two aunts happened to come out of their house. After saying hello, they hurried home to see their mother.

Dad was cooking something for Mom in the kitchen, and when he saw her, he hurriedly yelled at the main room.

"Daughter-in-law, your eldest daughter is back, hurry up, take off the bamboo basket on your back, you say you are too, so you won't wait a little longer, take a bike to pick you up, look at you, walk back by yourself of? Which way?"

"Dad, I'm walking on the embankment. Look, I picked so many wild vegetables. Let's eat it with cold salad at night, so I don't have to pull the vegetables in the yard."

Dad hurried over to remove the bamboo basket on her shoulders, and then went to fetch her a basin of cold water, wanting her to wash her face, but she couldn't wait to enter the room on the east side of the main room.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw the little girl lying crookedly on her mother's body. Her mother seemed to be paler than before, and she was still lying on the bed. She couldn't help but ask.

"Mom, are you having an operation? And Xiaoxiang, you didn't go to school today?"

"Look at the sweaty head walking here. Hurry up and wash your face to cool off. Your sister was specially picked up by your father. It's been a long time since I saw you, so I'm panicking. I'm really sorry, girl, It also made you toss back and forth."

"Mom, I'm fine, but you, why do you look so bad? Didn't you say that the problem is not serious? Have you had an operation?"

"No, how can I have an operation here? It's because the inflammation is serious, and it's uncomfortable over and over again. I wanted to take advantage of this time to go to the hospital and come back after a complete cure. So it was delayed for more than ten days, and now it's nothing. It's a matter, that is, I can't lift heavy objects in the future, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do my job as a female director in the future."

"Not only can't lift heavy objects, but you can't squat all the time. You see, when you are working, you always squat there to pull weeds or something. My dad is thoughtful. I should come back. If I don't come back, our family will not be able to come back this day." Three meals are also a lot of work. You always refused to let me do it before. You see, I am at my mother-in-law's place this time. Didn't I do a good job? From now on, I will leave the kitchen to me, so you don't mind I'm worried."

"Hey, my big girl really knows how to hurt people. Mom didn't care about you in vain. Come on, don't be poor, wash your face quickly, look at the sweat on your head, put your fingers back, and pinch the asparagus again. It's all dyed."

Ding Wei obediently ran out to clean herself up, then glanced at the eggs and millet on the table in the room, there were about a dozen eggs, and the millet weighed just over two catties, and asked in a low voice: "I The two aunts brought it here?"

Mom nodded: "Well, I just left, did you run into each other?"

"Well, didn't you go to the hospital to see you?"

"Which hospital should I go to? It's so far away, and I have to take a car to go back and forth. They don't have bicycles. It's enough to have a look after I get home from the hospital."

When the words fell, I didn't forget to tell her: "Children's family, don't inquire about adults' affairs, go, didn't your dad tell you just now, drink some sugar water, come, take Xiaoxiang down too, the two of you together Go drink sugar water."

Parents seldom talk about family affairs in front of them, but she eavesdropped on most of the cases. This time, my father cleaned up a room for the two sisters, and they slept separately from their parents in the future, and the bedding was also taken out to dry. Well, even the sheets and quilts, my mother tossed it out, saying that it was ready early in the morning.

"Me, I just didn't expect my daughter to grow up so fast, she will be seven or eight years old in a blink of an eye, and she will sleep with us separately. In my eyes, you are still the sensible little cutie you were when you were young!"

The younger sister raised her face with dissatisfaction: "What about me, what about me, do I love you?"

Parents were amused by her cute appearance, and Ding Wei remembered: "Where are my brother and the others?"

"As soon as I came back, I went to work in the field. Now I don't work much, so I have to count on them to do more after school. Your father is right. I have to take care of my body. If I drag you down, then our family The future is really without a backbone."

My mother is very confident in saying this, because she is the backbone of the family. My parents are not at home these days, and my brothers have made a mess of the house. Boys are just like this, they don’t care about anything, and they deal with everything they can see. It’s over, the place where I can’t see is a mess, my mother frowned as soon as she came back, and wanted to clean it up, and my father seldom did such things with his hands, and couldn’t bear the fatigue of his daughter-in-law, so he cleaned up the kitchen for a long time, and his heart was burning !

Only then did I realize that this family really needs a division of labor. He can't do such delicate work, so he is suitable to show his ability in his professional field. The sons are not good at it. If they are lazy, they will be arranged to work in the field. To live, girls and daughters-in-law are suitable for these things in the kitchen and at home, so calling the eldest daughter back is a top priority.

Whether this woman is at home or not, outsiders can tell when they come to the house.

Ding Wei went into the kitchen and took a look. Although her father cleaned it up, it was still very different from when her mother was at home. Not to mention the pots and pans were thrown around, and she didn't know where to put them, and there was nothing on the stove. After wiping, let alone the pot lid, she sighed.

"Dad, you can serve this fish soup to my mother and eat it. I'll make dinner and tidy up here by the way."

"Your mother can't finish this fish soup, so your sisters should also drink some."

"Dad, you have worked so hard for so many days. You and your sister should drink some too. I won't drink any more. I have to cook quickly. My brother and the others will be back in a while."

People in the country will prepare their meals before dark, so that there is no need to light kerosene lamps for meals.

Put the fish and soup into the enamel basin and let my father bring it into the house. No matter what they call her, she won't eat it. In fact, she doesn't like fish very much.

This fish was brought by my aunt, who said that my uncle fished it. Two small crucian carps were thrown into the pot without frying, and then stewed with some ginger and green onions. The smell could smell fishy from far away. , It’s really embarrassing for my dad, my mother and sister didn’t dislike fish soup of this level.

This is not fish from the cold water river in the northeast. It doesn't have a fishy smell. If this fish is not handled properly, it will have a fishy smell that most people can't bear.

It is also due to the lack of clothing and food in this day and age, and it is rare to see anything, otherwise, no one will cheer.

Ding Wei quickly cleaned the big iron pot, and then put a lot of corn dregs on the bottom of the pot. At night, they drank the big dregs porridge. If the porridge was cooked well, it would be sweet, soft and delicious.

Put a grate on top, wash the potatoes, mix them with cornmeal and washed wild vegetables, and steam them in a pot together.

After that, she cooked some noodles again, because there was no time to leaven the dough, so she had to bake some dead dough pancakes in a while.

Just after the wild vegetables are cold, they can be eaten with noodle rolls.

When the pot is boiling, bring water and clean it with kitchen ash and a brush.

When Dad came over with the pot, he was amazed by her agile working speed.

"Hey, my daughter has a lot of work in your husband's house. This is, look at the speed and fine hair. It's not worse than your mother!"

Ding Wei curled her lips: "Dad, you can't say that you didn't do a good job, just praise me for a good job. My mother didn't dislike you for making that fish soup?"

Dad pulled his lips in embarrassment: "How can I not say it, I think it smells fishy, ​​so if I don't drink it, your sister doesn't drink it, why don't you try it?"

Ding Wei frowned immediately, and glanced at the enamel plate: "How much is left?"

Ding Zhenlong lifted the lid of the pot and let her have a look: "Look at it, it didn't move, you said they don't eat it, what's the matter?"

"Let's put it here, my brother will come back later, I'll order some noodles for you, let's make do with you guys!"

Women are extremely sensitive to the smell of food, and they won’t eat it if they smell fishy. There are so many men. In their eyes, there are not so many problems. When the father heard that his daughter took over, he happily put the enamel plate on the table. On the stove, he turned around and went out, looking for his brother and the others depending on the situation.

Ding Wei looked at the enamel basin in front of her, thinking about what to do for a while to ensure that today's ingredients would not be wasted.

 Added today, the second update.
