Siheyuan: Why is my crossing so ugly?

Chapter 16 Brother, you take your first bite

At this time, the old secretary entered the yard with a few strong young men, standing in a row, arrogantly.

"Comrade Xiao Du, these guys are the best boys in our commune, and they are all soldiers of the militia company. They absolutely obey orders and obey orders, and none of them are cowards."

"Okay, these brothers are all heroes at first glance, old secretary, your militia is well trained, even comparable to the regular army."

Seeing this, both the old secretary and the young men were all flushed, and a sense of pride arose spontaneously.

Why did Xiao Du ask the able-bodied men in the village to help with his work?

And also under such a large capital?
In the village, Aunt Zuo brought a girl who belonged to the most disadvantaged group. Once the house was built and life became better, it was inevitable that someone would covet it.

But if the house is built with the help of the most capable men in the village, and they all benefit from it, then they will naturally protect Aunt Zuo in the future. With such a few men to protect, no one in this commune will bully Aunt Zuo And Niu Niu.

After exchanging pleasantries and introducing each other, the eight men began to demolish the house under the command of Yin Laoliu.

Aunt Zuo was in a hurry, "Xiao Du, didn't you repair the house? Why did you tear down the house?"

"Auntie, let's rebuild the house and build a brick house directly. It's done in one step."

"Huh? How much will it cost?"

"Ma'am, I'm a cadre anyway, so I can't give you an adobe house. Ma'am, you should enjoy a few years of happiness. In my old age, I don't even have a tile on my head. I don't want to be stabbed in the back."

Aunt Zuo was in tears.

"Okay, ma'am, don't cry, you can find two capable aunts to help you cook, a dozen or so people are eating, and we will also take care of the help. I will ask Master Yin to build a stove for you in a while. .”

"Okay, I'll go find someone now."

"Auntie, find someone who is always nice to you to help you, and make sure you have enough food."

"Hey, I understand, I understand."

At this time, Xiangbei and Yu Huaihai had been teasing Niuniu, but Niuniu looked at Du Weiguo from time to time, for fear that Du Weiguo would disappear in a blink of an eye.

Like a life-saving straw, there is no room for loss.

Over there, Master Yin had brought a group of men to lift off the roof. Carpenter Cui looked at the original beams and was sure they were still usable, so he ordered everyone to remove the beams.

Under the guidance of professionals, 10 strong men and three adobe houses were razed to the ground in less than 2 hours.

This is called professionalism. Originally, Comrade Xiao Du and his two brothers wanted to help, but they were stopped by Master Yin and the old secretary.
8 strong men, two dry meals are enough, white care?

The old secretary had already seen the ingredients that Xiao Du brought, and knew that Comrade Xiao Du really cared for the food with all sincerity, and even managed it well, and there was still meat.

What kind of food is this?You may not be able to eat it during the Chinese New Year.

After the house was knocked down, the men began to clean up the ground and dig the foundation soon. At this time, Yin Laoliu and the carpenter, Master Cui, quickly built a stove and a table.

It fully embodies what is meant by a skilled craftsman and what is called a big hand. I just picked a few pieces of adobe and mixed some mud. A temporary stove and desk made the old ladies who watched the excitement exclaimed again and again.

People who cook every day can naturally see the goodness of this craftsmanship, and housewives expressed their enthusiasm.

"This is a big hand. This skill is much better than that of Xue Bricklayer in our commune."

"Don't you think Niuniu knows who I am? He is the leader of the security department of the rolling mill. He is in charge of tens of thousands of workers. He comes with 5 bicycles. He comes with meat when he does some work. Those who find someone to work can find a job."

"You said that Niuniu is a wild child with no father or mother, how can she be so blessed?"

"My erya is as old as Niu Niu, and much more youthful than Niu Niu. Can you also recognize Leader Du as your elder brother?"

"Bah, I think you want to eat farts. People recognize Erya as their younger sister and you as their mother? Why do you think so?"

"That's right, didn't you hear what the old secretary said. Leader Du is an orphan, and the whole family is a martyr. He and Niu Niu share the same illness, so they are willing to help her. Your family has a father and a mother, and they are full of food!"

"I'm just saying, this leader Du is really good-looking, I have never seen such a spirited guy in ten miles and eight villages."

These old ladies watching the fun really have everything to say.

At this moment, the old secretary is drinking tea and chatting with Comrade Xiao Du. The tea is tea foam that costs 3 cents a tael. Just like that, the old secretary drank the same as yesterday, and there was no color at all.

It's so poor!

We talked about the army, and also about the old secretary when he was young.

Knowing that Xiao Du was the champion of the Jinling Military Region's military competition, and after the army became a cadre, the old secretary was even more awe-inspiring.

The old secretary has been a top soldier all his life, and seeing the champion in the army, the old secretary is so excited.

At this time, the steamed buns had already started to be steamed on the stove. The steamed buns of Erhe Noodles, stick noodles 7 and white noodles 3, smelled delicious and had a very good conscience.

Xiao Du told her before leaving yesterday that Aunt Zuo had already met her early in the morning.

There are more than 20 catties of cornmeal and more than 3 catties of white noodles, and more than 200 solid steamed buns can be steamed, which is enough for this group of big belly men to eat for two meals.

Over there, Mrs. Zuo hired two aunts who were particularly neat at first glance to help with the cooking. They were indeed divided into groups.

Chinese cabbage, radishes, and green onions are all pulled from the ground. There is no shortage of these vegetables in the countryside.

During this period, there was a lack of oil and water, and fat meat was far more popular than lean meat. Without the face of Sanliang Depot Yu Gongzi and the street office Xiang Gongzi, they couldn't buy it at all.

While talking, the first basket of steamed buns came out of the pan, and they were delicious!
There are two drawers in one cage, and about 50 large steamed buns. The first two pots of steamed buns are packed in baskets, covered with cloth, and then put into a grain jar for eating at night.

The last two pots of steamed buns are steamed while the vegetables are stewed, and the vegetables are cooked together, so eat them while they are hot.

After the steamed buns were cooked, the old secretary was about to say goodbye and go home for dinner. Xiao Du refused to let him go, and finally used his trump card to hold down the stubborn old man.

"Stand at attention, old squad leader, please obey orders!"

The old secretary has been tightly controlled by Xiao Du. Xiao Du can be sure that as long as the old secretary is alive, no one in this commune will dare to bully Aunt Zuo and Niu Niu.

Xiao Du took out a freshly steamed steamed bun, still steaming, and called Niuniu.

"Niuniu, come on, didn't you eat anything in the morning?"

"Brother, I'm not hungry."

"Niuniu, will you listen to me from now on?"

"Be obedient, brother, I will listen to whatever you ask me to do."

"Well, good girl, this steamed bun is the first one in our new family, you and grandma and the old secretary's grandpa will share it together, okay?"

"Okay, brother, then you take the first bite."

"Okay, brother, take the first bite." After speaking, Xiao Du broke off a piece of steamed bun and put it in his mouth.

The freshly baked steamed buns are very fragrant, and the noodles are also well-raised.

"It's so delicious, Niuniu, let's share it with grandma and the old secretary!"

Niu Niu was so sensible, she first broke off a piece for the old secretary, then gave another piece to Aunt Zuo, and gave Xiangbei and Yu Huaihai a piece respectively, and finally only had a small piece left to eat by herself.

To a group of people are dry defense.

At this moment, Xiao Du also found an empty cup and made a cup of malted milk for Niuniu. Seeing that the little girl started eating steamed buns, he called her over.

"Niuniu, this is malted milk extract. You will drink a cup every day in the future, so that you can grow taller and faster. I will buy it for you after drinking it."

"Brother, then drink first."

"I don't drink sweets, and I can't grow any taller, or I'll turn into a telephone pole! Brother only drinks this for Niuniu, not even grandma and the old secretary."
