20 years of spring breeze

Chapter 485 Brothers and Sisters
In the rural areas of Northeast China, not many people ate meat in summer, and I occasionally satiated my cravings, because it was hard to store, so there would be no refrigerator.

Xiaowei's family has to go out for more than ten miles to buy some meat, which is usually reluctant.Usually, meat is bought in winter, and it freezes when it is hung outside, and it can be stored for a long time.I have to try my best to buy fatty refined oil. I usually use meat oil for cooking and eat meat.

Xiaowei said: "It's not an outsider, please don't be so polite, sister-in-law."

The sister-in-law looked at Zhang Wang and said, "Then I'll stew some kidney beans, make some braised rice, and steam the pastry, okay?"

In the northeastern countryside, May and June are the time when the crops are green and yellow. The ground has just been planted, and there is really no food at home. During this period, every family has to deal with it.

The most common vegetables in Northeast China are kidney beans, early beans, late beans, purple beans, flour beans, gluten-free beans, from the end of May to the beginning of October, and leeks, which can be eaten from the beginning of spring to the last autumn. It's onions.Most of the other dishes have to wait until after July and August.

Only potatoes and miso are available throughout the year.

Xiaowei looked at Xiaohong and said to Zhang Wang: "Just now I got out of the car to patronize and talk, and you will come in as soon as you come back. The things I bought are still in the car." The meat, fish and vegetables in the bag were taken out.

After entering the hospital, I handed the things to my sister-in-law and said, "I bought it with the boss from the hotel over the Guanmenshan Reservoir, and I didn't take much." Zhang Wang said, "I'll come back when I come back, what else do I have to take. Go ahead, Just do this." He said something to his daughter-in-law, and then the sister-in-law took the things.

Everyone entered the house, and my sister-in-law was making food in the outer room, and everyone sat down on the kang on the first floor to talk.

Xiaowei and Xiaohong didn't know Zhang Wang's wife well, and they were both in the county when Zhang Wang got married.Moreover, there are more particularities in the Northeast countryside, and generally men and women are more taboo in contact, and only those who live in the same fort or grew up together will be familiar with it.My sister-in-law is from Waibao.

"How about the other end now? It's said that you are doing big business." Zhang Wang took Xiaowei's cigarette and asked.

Xiaowei helped Zhang Wang light a cigarette, and said, "It's not a big business, it's the restaurant and food factory that the three of us jointly run. We only work for a few days."

Zhang Wang said: "If you can bring your uncle and aunt into the city, then you can still be young. Among our buddies, you are the army of your family and you are promising. We will definitely be able to do it in the future. The rest of us will just plant some land. I can’t afford anything if I want to make a fuss. The two from my third uncle’s family rarely see each other once a year, that is, they enter the factory as workers, so they can’t be counted on.”

Xiaowei asked: "How is Xiaofu now?"

Zhang Wang said: "I have met someone, what can I expect to do this year? It's hard to say. I don't want to plant the land, so I go to the small market if I have nothing to do. I don't know what he wants to do. The fourth uncle's girl is okay, she said she is studying. The results are pretty good, and it depends on the future."

Xiaowei nodded and said, "I'll go see your dad in a while, and sit with my fourth uncle after I'm done. I'll take care of Xiaoxiu if she can pass the exam."

Zhang Wang said with a smile: "That's a good relationship. It's really hard for the fourth uncle's family to make donations. We can't do anything if we want to help. It's okay to do a job, and we don't have any money. Now we can make money all year round. What can you do with a few hundred dollars?"

Xiaowei thought for a while and said: "Brother, if you want to go out and do something, go there. Don't worry about the money. I will lend it to you. You are only in your twenties this year. It's early. If you can go out, it's better than farming at home." The earth is strong, don't be afraid to toss."

Zhang Wang thought for a while and said, "What can I do when I go out? I don't know anything except farming, I haven't studied for a few days, and I don't know much. It's useless to go out. I won't be able to afford it if I lose money." .Come on, forget it. When I have a child in the future, if you are willing to help me take care of it, it will be fine."

Xiaowei said: "I just studied for seven years. Later, I skipped more classes than I attended in the fifth grade and the two years of junior high school. Doing things has little to do with going to school. Besides, I don't know how to learn by myself? I'm fine now. Find time to read books. You are more stable than me, you can do it when you go out, you can discuss with your sister-in-law, if you think it’s okay, go out and have a look, and see what you want to do when you’re done, if you can’t, just find a place to learn.”

Zhang Wang said: "What can I do? I don't know what I can do? My head is confused when I think about it."

Xiaowei said: "You can do a lot more. You can sell clothes, shoes, and stationery for business. For crafts, you can make bread and cakes and cook. The city is actually not as complicated as you think. Doing something is better than farming."

Zhang Wang thought for a while and said, "We don't know how to sell things. How can we sell them? We can't even find a place to buy them. I guess people will have to be cheated to death if we go out. It's okay to learn a craft, but you can't spend money on it? What about playing?" If you learn art, you are guaranteed to succeed? It’s not going to be a disaster. It’s good to grow a little land at home without asking for help, and it doesn’t cause famine. At least it’s no problem to have enough food. It’s not a lot of money in the countryside.”

Xiaowei thought for a while and said: "Well, let's take the land this autumn. You and your sister-in-law will go to Fengtian. Go out and have a look first. If you want to do business, I will help you. If you want to learn crafts, you can learn from me, okay? There are places, anyway, you will be idle at home this winter, if it doesn't work in the end, you two will come back next spring."

Zhang Wang said: "If you go out, you will get money. Now your sister-in-law and I have a thousand dollars in our hands. If you spend it, it will be gone."

Xiaowei gave Zhang Wang a blank look and said, "What do you pay for going to my place? That's bullshit. It's settled like that."

Zhang Wang took a puff of cigarette and lowered his head and said, "What's wrong with Xiaofu? The second uncle gave me this house and he was very unhappy. If you help me like this again, there will be no trouble."

Xiaowei said: "If his temperament can be stabilized, I will help him. Is he the material? I feel uncomfortable? You just take care of yourself. Why do you think so much? How old is he? If you and your sister-in-law That's fine over there, I'll let him live in this house, if he can steadily grow the land at home for two years, I'll take care of him, if he can't even do the farming, then forget it, I can't afford to take care of him."

Xiaohong, who was talking with Chen Xiaoyi and Geng Hui, turned her head and interjected, saying, "I'm also annoyed by that guy. Brother Wang will join our factory at worst, and getting paid is better than farming. Zhang Fu, hehe, let's forget it." Well, if he goes, he can ruin our factory."

Xiaowei said: "If it really comes to the day, as a buddy, I definitely can't watch it. But I definitely can't do it now. If I really make him go to Fengtian with his current temper, it will hurt him. Brother, let me tell you , even if you and your sister-in-law go over and stand firm, you can't talk to Zhang Fu, understand? That's not helping him. He has to grind."

Chen Hui asked Xiaowei: "Is that your brother or brother? Is it as evil as you said?"

Xiaowei smiled and said: "My aunt, it is Brother Wang's mother who died early, and my uncle found another one, Zhang Fu's mother. This kid, since he was a child, he has been like a gangster, and he can't learn well. , I never do any work, and after a day I just think about the pie in the sky.

You know, learn how to play with money from others, steal money from home, and then sell the grain in the field without telling my uncle, can you bear it?As a result, my uncle borrowed food everywhere to survive that winter.It's just such a thing that Fengtian can't fly? "
