Chapter 1550 [1549] A lot of meat during the Spring Festival
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a simple basketball court was specially set up in the village’s Sun Valley Field. Three generations of young, middle-aged and young people in the village gathered on the Sun Valley Field and the basketball court at the head of the village. There are a total of twelve teams in Fotantou Village, nine of them. Uncle and Dad went to the sun-drying field, and brothers went to the basketball court at the head of the village. They left early in the morning. This is a collective activity that the production team did this year. I heard that there will be prizes for winning, so the men are very happy went.

Ding Wei got up late, and when she went out, her mother was sitting at the gate, knitting sweaters and eating melon seeds and peanuts with the nearby aunts and aunts. Because she stayed in the leeward place and had a brazier, she didn't feel cold.

Ding Wei came out with her hair loose, and Zhao Qingqing felt dizzy when she saw it: "Hey, my lazy girl, there is warm water in the iron pot, go and tie up your hair, wash your face, brush your tooth, and you're hungry." You can cook some dumplings by yourself, or you can get a sweet potato and I’ll roast it for you, well, here are the peanuts we just pulled out from the fire, do you want to eat them?”

Ding Wei transplanted onto the door frame, and yawned regardless of the jokes of the aunts and aunts.

"I'm not hungry, I won't eat, what do I have for lunch? Shall I do it?"

"No, your father and your brother don't know when it will end. We all eat late in the morning. I'll wait for them to get a letter later. What kind of plate, why are you not hungry? Go and get the sweet potatoes, Mom will bake you two, "

Ding Wei shook her head, "Mom, I don't want to eat, so don't worry about me. What about my sister, the dead girl was still nagging in my ear just now, she woke me up, she ran away without a trace,"

"A few girls came over just now and said that the third team is showing a movie tonight, maybe they are going to inquire about the news,"

When Ding Wei heard it, she was even less interested, because no matter what era she watched, she had watched movies many times. She had even filmed them herself. There was no sun today, and there was snowflakes for a while in the morning. What did she feel? It was bleak and cold, so she shrank her neck, went back to the stove, brewed hot water from the iron pan, washed her face and brushed her teeth, put cream on her face, clam oil on her hands, and her hair There was a slit in the middle, two braids were tied, and a red festive hair rope was tied at the tail.

For the Chinese New Year, my mother prepared new flowered padded jackets for the two sisters, all of which were red, and a pair of red cotton shoes, which were paired with red strings.

Because the firecrackers were set off in the early morning, the whole yard was red, the couplets, the firecracker residue on the road, the air seemed to be filled with the smell of gunpowder, and it seemed that I had returned to my childhood.

Under the eaves of the house, there are still sausages being dried and marinated grass carp that have not been dried. The fried flowers cannot be thrown or swept. They should be kept for two or three days, cleaned up during the daytime on the fourth day of the lunar new year, collected together, and carried to the ground in Dongtou. This is the custom in some areas of southern Henan Province - send poverty.

After tidying up, Ding Wei went back to the house and turned on the radio, and tuned to a provincial station. It happened to be their provincial opera. She didn’t like to listen to it very much, but it was very atmospheric to play it during the Chinese New Year. Lying down, babbling and humming along.

Not long after, Zhao Qingqing came in with a bowl of poached eggs, and seeing her like that, she was furious.

"What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and bring up the kang table you made. How can you do it without eating? Mom made you two poached eggs and put sugar for you. You can put the bar mat first and wait until noon I will make braised pork for you, and I will also steam the crispy pork that was fried a few days ago, "

"Mom, I don't want to eat dumplings. I want to eat rice, especially crispy rice. You can steam some rice for me. You can also mix it with some millet or sorghum. Anyway, I don't want to eat dumplings. I have eaten several times. God, it's all pasta, I'm getting fat, "

"Where are you getting fat? Are you getting fat? Life is really good, and one of them even came to order with me. You, eat your mouth, wait, I will soak the sorghum first,"

He talked about eating it, but he still made it for her. Presumably, the sorghum could not be soaked much, because it would not taste good if there was too much grain.

Two poached eggs and a large bowl of sugar water, Ding Wei was sweating all over the food. Since the village had no limit on the number of chickens, ducks and geese, her mother raised six hens, two ducks, two geese, and two pigs. I sold one before Xiaonian for 260 cents a catty, and raised it to 208 catties for [-] yuan. The remaining one is not as heavy as the other one. My mother wants to raise it until next spring before killing it.

So their family didn’t slaughter pigs during the Chinese New Year this year, but the third uncle’s family did. My mother went to buy about [-] catties of pork, and a dozen catties of offal. Basically, the good meat was kept for the family to eat, and the rest was eaten. Sell ​​to folks.

They kept the pig's head, pig's trotters, front and rear legs, pig tail, pork belly, and suet. The pigs they raise are fatter. Because they don't use the so-called lean meat powder, the meat they make is very fragrant because it has a lot of fat ah!

I bought it from my aunt's house, and naturally gave it at the market price, [-] cents a catty. The pig intestines, pig heart and lungs were all given by my aunt, no money was asked.

So this year, not only is there no shortage of meat in their family, but their mother also filled them with more than ten catties of sausages, braised pork with preserved vegetables, fried crispy pork, jelly with pork skin, steamed stuffed buns with oil residue, and dumplings. You can eat whatever you want. The boy is enough to eat, originally there were many boys, and Xiang Feng's share was counted, although Xiang Feng has left now, the meat prepared for him must go to the other children.

Mom really did what she said, and she started working in the kitchen in a short time. She couldn't sit still when she heard the noise, so she took the initiative to help in the kitchen. Anyway, these dishes are a piece of cake for her. For garlic, clean the garlic sprouts, coriander, and spinach under the plastic shed.

Their village has not been connected to electricity, and every household still lights kerosene lamps, so if they can finish before dawn, they will definitely not wait until dark to do it.

The meat served for incense this morning was cooked last night when playing mahjong. There are four big pieces that are especially suitable for making pickled pork with preserved vegetables.

This preserved vegetable is made by my mother after three times of steaming and three times drying the endless autumn greens in the field. She even made it with radish seedlings once, which smells very fragrant.

However, the meat is only enough for one cooking, and other meats are not lean and fat, so they are not suitable for braised pork.

The boiled pork skin should be pierced with an iron stick so that the sauce can be absorbed easily. When it was fried in the pan, Ding Wei jumped out directly.

"Mom, do this slowly, I can't bear it, it's too scary to explode."

Even though there is an iron frame supporting it, the oil splattered everywhere is almost like a disaster scene like fried rice cakes.

The crispy meat has been fried a few days ago. There is steamed rice on the bottom of a basket, steamed braised pork, crispy meat, lotus clips, vermicelli meatballs, fried fish, fried chicken, all fried goods. By the way, there is also a bowl of fried tofu And kelp slices, put a little crushed vermicelli in it, and add water, green onions, and ginger to each bowl, so that the steamed taste is super good.

Another fire is not idle, celery fried shredded pork, garlic sprouts eggs, braised fish, braised pork, yellow braised chicken, cold dishes carrot spinach vermicelli, lotus vegetables, pork skin jelly, cold silver bars (local specialties), cold bean curd sticks , shallots mixed with tofu, etc. After more than two hours of tossing around, the man at home can be regarded as a bustling home.

As soon as I entered the yard, my mother asked my father to set off firecrackers: "Hurry up and put a small hanging firecracker, then wash your hands and eat. You guys go to clean up the table in the main room, and then come over to serve the dishes. The staple food at noon today is rice. Who wants to eat dumplings?" Alright, I'll play two more games alone."

There was a whole table of dishes, big and small, with a total of [-] hot and cold dishes. Even my father was so addicted to it, he clamored to take out the white wine he had kept for several years, because he saw the five-spice peanuts, This is the most down-to-earth dish among the appetizers.

I have to say that today's meal is the highest standard for Chinese New Year since Ding Wei grew up, and the scale is comparable to the New Year's Eve dinner of a well-off family in later generations.

The whole family sat together neatly, the man drank white wine and the woman drank the wine made by her mother. The moment they clinked glasses and said 'Happy New Year, good health', they felt their noses were sore and their eyes were red. In fact, This is the simplest happiness, right?

During the days of the Spring Festival in [-], time passed quickly, and I had to go back to school in a blink of an eye. As a high school graduating student, Ding Wei felt very powerless, especially when it was cold these days. When I arrived at school, the classrooms were warm, but the dormitory was cold But it's like an ice cellar.

The school has electricity, but it can’t match the corresponding heat for you. Fortunately, Ding Wei’s quilt is 1.5 meters wide and [-] meters long. It is a proper new flower, super warm, and there are bed curtains to keep warm, which is already better than many quilts. Students are much luckier.

Persist for another six months, as long as she persists for another six months, she will be able to get out of this difficult environment.

This time, the four elder brothers brought Lilac to see her off. In fact, they wanted to go to the city to play, but they couldn’t find a suitable reason, so they pretended to see her off. As a result, the discussions on the way were all about Longmen Grottoes and Shaolin Temple. What kind of tourist attraction, and even said to go to the water table.

Dad has already started work and can't come. Mom is not in the mood to go out to play because her grandpa and grandma are not in good health these days. She even thinks that these children are still at home, so she went to the brigade to make an introduction. Letter, let them go to the neighborhood to play as much as they want, and they can stay in the hotel with the letter of introduction, and even Ding Wei sponsored them 50 yuan for travel expenses free of charge.

The brothers are used to the big money of the rich wife and sister, and even feel a little ashamed. The years of working and going to the military school add up, and the dividends are not as much as other people's monthly dividends.

But they don't envy them, because even if they are given this money, they will feel hot. If they are given ten brains, they will not be able to write such an educated book. My sister is too famous, and they can see her books on display when they go to the bookstore. In the most conspicuous position, students and parents are all around.

How capable is this to gain so many loyal fans?
They have never shown that the famous Ding Dong is their younger sister on the outside, one is that no one will believe it, and the other is that after believing it, it will affect the younger sister to a certain extent. It is the traditional virtue of their family to keep a low profile.

After the brothers and sisters sent Ding Wei and Xiu Min to school, they led Ding Xiang to visit L City. Many famous scenic spots in this era have not yet been planned, and some of them don’t even require money. Even though it is easy for Ding Wei to buy a camera, tickets are not easy to get, and some even need overseas Chinese tickets, which are used once a year and will be eliminated in a few years, which is really unnecessary.

Therefore, tourism in this era is the real tourism. Walk around and see, unlike later generations, most of them are for taking pictures and posting on Moments, letting others know that you have been to this place, and making others envy you for traveling. That's all.

"I really envy the family atmosphere of your family. My brothers are really kind to you. They buy you soda and candy at the station. They treat you like a child. They don't take the trouble to send you off. Come to the school and help you deliver all your things to the dormitory. If you didn't stop me, I would have made your bed for you. Your two brothers who are soldiers are very imposing and upright. Your third brother looks so old Gentle, I didn't expect to be so good at playing basketball, and your fourth brother who has an out-of-the-way personality, I didn't expect to be so good at long-distance running. He is a student of architecture, and he can be spotted by the Physical Education Institute. It's not easy!"

Ding Wei rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Listen to him bragging, he can't see that you have been paying attention to my eldest brother, second brother and third brother, and no one pays attention to him. Didn't his long-distance running be practiced by my mother since he was a child? Yes, let me tell you, since I was a child, my brother has been beaten by my mother a lot. Since I can remember, he has been on the road to death. He even cheated me from a young age, not letting He fed me food, he insisted that I wanted to eat, and stuffed everything into my mouth, forcing me to almost swear."

Chen Xiumin was amused and laughed, "Do you still remember what happened before you stopped talking? You are indeed a genius. I have forgotten a lot of things before I went to elementary school. Those brothers in my family have never seen each other. How rare it is for me, but it is our two sisters who love me more."

Ding Wei covered her mouth subconsciously, oh shit, she slipped up, even talking about things before she was one year old.

She smiled awkwardly, "I don't remember too much. Didn't my mother tell me this? So don't be fooled by my fourth brother's appearance. My eldest brother seems to have a partner. If you want to marry brother Bing, Do you want to consider my second brother who will be in the navy in the future?"

Chen Xiumin stared straight at her and turned to look at her: "I admire soldiers, but I never thought of marrying a soldier. It's so hard to marry a soldier. I don't want to. I don't even talk about being a widow. I take care of my own children. Take care of his family, oh, I’m not talking about your family, I’m talking about all the military wives, that’s how they live. My family has an elder sister who married a soldier. In the end, the man found another man outside, and she was not wanted. Before She took care of her parents-in-law, and if she said no, she kicked her out, not even the daughter she gave birth to. Why do you marry a soldier? It’s not enough money to be angry. Although your brother is very good, but Weiwei , we have a good relationship, and I won’t speak politely to you, admiration is admiration, let’s forget about marrying him, especially your brother is still in the navy, and it’s even harder to see him all year round.”

Ding Wei nodded repeatedly when she was told, "You don't need to apologize to me, what you said is the truth, otherwise they would look for a partner in the same system, so that it is easy to arrange work and do family work, you can be so rational, I admire you very much. What about my third brother, who will be a doctor in the future. Didn’t you tell me on the way that you also want to study medicine? Let’s study medicine together. In the future, you and my brother will both be doctors, isn’t it more important? match?"

"Okay, my aunt, don't mess around with the mandarin ducks. We are still students now, and we are still four or five years away from college graduation. What do you want to do so much? I don't think about anything now. I just want to go to college and apply for the exam. As for professional matters, then we can agree, I will study medicine, and no one is allowed to go back on my word!"

Ding Wei took her arm and shook it: "I really want you to be my sister-in-law!"

Dad, I'm sorry, you are no longer good enough for my mother, and if I have a chance later, I'll help you find a better wife, ah!

Chen Xiumin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Because we have a good relationship, I can't have any problems with your brother. You said that when I quarrel with your brother, who are you going to?"

"Nonsense, of course it's for you. You are my own sister. My brother is a man. What's wrong with being wronged?"

"I'm afraid you won't say that when the time comes!" Chen Xiumin made jokes and changed the subject, and Ding Wei didn't want to force her, after all, she and her brother hadn't met a few times. understood.

The two have a good relationship, and the people in the same dormitory are envious, and some even say that Chen Xiumin depends on Ding Wei for food, drink and housing, which is too shameless.

"Why, you're envious, so why don't you ask Weiwei if you should?"

They were gossiping behind their backs, both Ding Wei and Chen Xiumin knew that this time they listened seriously, Xiumin didn't feel ashamed, but directly stepped forward and hugged them with both arms, staring at them with contempt.

Ding Wei made up the knife in a timely manner: "Our two families are god relatives, do you know that? My mother and my godmother are good friends. I subsidize Xiu Min because I have it. If I don't have it, she will also subsidize it if Xiu Min has it." I’m sorry, why didn’t you see these things? Also, these are all my own wishes, can you control them? It’s okay to gossip about people, how can it make them gain a few pounds?”

"Go, Xiao Min, I heard that there are chicken legs in the cafeteria today, let's go, I'll treat you to chicken legs and tea eggs, hum, I just won't let you eat, you'll be so hungry!"

Ding Wei broke the defense of the two girls on the opposite side with a single sentence. The two of them pursed their lips tightly, and after being teased by them, they looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

"I also want to eat chicken drumsticks, good Ding Wei, you are too bullying!"

"Don't talk about it, besides, I'm drooling. I want to eat too, but I have to have money. My mother gives me two pocket money a month. I usually eat free food, only the really greedy ones." You can only eat meat if you can’t do it.”

"You have two dollars anyway, and I only have fifty cents a month. My dad gave it to me secretly. I can't even eat meat. I eat for free every day. Look at my malnourished appearance. I hate my grandma for returning home. If you say I'm fat, those who don't know will think how good my food is at school!"
