Chapter 273 272 Salted Goose Eggs, Two Dogs and Vegetables
4:[-] p.m.

Li Yan took Xiaotingzi to Aunt Yue's house to play in the afternoon, and when she came back, she happened to see Wang Yuan lying on the table writing a letter.

"Write a letter to Li Hang? It's so dark, turn on the light, let's go and play with your dad, Xiaotingzi, I'm going to cook."

Li Yan rolled up her sleeves and started cooking with firewood. Xiaotingzi kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the kang, snuggled up to Wang Yuan's left side and watched him write.

She didn't speak, the room was very quiet and Wang Yuan could hear her breathing clearly, and Wang Yuan wrote out complex Chinese characters that she didn't know very easily, which was amazing to Xiao Tingzi!
So she hummed: "Dad, you are so amazing!"

"Hahaha~" The eldest daughter's compliment made Wang Yuanke happy, he touched her little head and said, "There is still candy in the box on the left side of the table, go and eat it."

In an instant, Xiao Tingzi was as happy as a puppy, and went to get the candy.

This afternoon, Wang Meng's family bought a new refrigerator, and they pulled a lot of people around his house in a tricycle to watch it. Wang Yuan and his wife also went to see it.

At night, Wang Meng called Wang Yuan, Wang Hu and the two had dinner together, it was obvious that he was very happy today.

Wang Meng has been promoted again and has already started to take care of his apprentices. Naturally, his salary has also increased, and he is so happy that he will not resign.

"Old Zhou, do you know? It's our director. He and the deputy director both resigned and went into business. If they didn't leave, I wouldn't be able to get promoted so quickly... Let's not talk about this, let's go!"

Wang Meng has been torn between resigning and not resigning in the past few years, and finally chose not to resign.

He felt that he had a solid mind, and he didn't have much ability to do business, and he was likely to lose money. Now this job earns a good income, so let's do it.

When he came home after eating, the big white cat leaned over and rubbed his arm:
"Meow~"

"Huh? Haven't fed the cat yet."

"There are still steamed buns, give her a piece of steamed buns to eat."

Li Yan went to the main room to break off a piece of steamed bun and came back. After passing it to the big white cat, the latter sniffed it and ate it. It was delicious. After eating the steamed bun, he licked the corner of his mouth and jumped off the kang to drink in the water basin. Son Shui went to bed.

Turning on the TV and looking for a random station to watch, Li Yan turned over some soybeans with a dustpan. She planned to pick up the bad and deflated ones, and use the remaining good beans to grind some tofu for eating.

"Stop smoking and pick it up with me, Xiaotingzi, come over and pick it up too, the three of us can pick it up quickly."

"Okay, I won't smoke this one after I smoke it."

Suddenly, the phone rang at this time, ding dong~ ding dong~ ding dong~
The landline phone has a total of 5 incoming call prompts, and you can adjust whichever one you want. Occasionally, Xiaotingzi will press the phone button to continuously change the prompt tones to listen to and play when he is idle. For this reason, several batteries are exhausted. .

Wang Yuan walked over to pick up the phone, but he didn't expect Ergou to call. With the lesson from last time, Ergou finally knew to make a call in advance.

"Ergou, you want to come over? Come on! It just so happens that I haven't seen you for a while."

In the morning of the next day, Er Gou arrived on a motorcycle, carrying a lot of fresh vegetables in a basket hanging on the back seat.

After he parked the motorcycle, the dogs immediately rushed up barking "enthusiastically", and Wang Yuan hurriedly drove the dogs away.

The dogs are very smart. It is their duty to rush up and bark, and they also show their owners that they will not be lazy in housekeeping, but as soon as the owner drives them away, they know that their duties have been fulfilled, and there is no need to bark anymore.

"In addition to the vegetables, I also brought thirty salted goose eggs, all of which are large double-yellow goose eggs."

Er Gou pulled apart the vegetables on the top of the basket, revealing the goose eggs on the bottom.

The double-yolk goose eggs are indeed very big. I cooked four of them at lunchtime. After cutting them all, they were all double-yolk. Yongquan.

"It's so fragrant, this goose egg is well marinated..."

"That's right, this egg yolk is really delicious." Xiao Tingzi likes to eat goose egg yolk that is runny, so Li Yan gave it to her, and she ate the goose egg white herself.

Seeing that Wang Yuan's family likes to eat the goose eggs, Ergou is also very happy. Sitting cross-legged next to the kang table, he eats the dishes:
"Selling salted goose eggs makes more money than simply selling goose eggs. Now all the goose eggs produced on the farm are salted goose eggs... By the way, a wild boar ran into the farm at night a while ago. I know what kind of madness caused a hole in the No. 6 shed."

Ergou thinks about the scene at that time and is still very angry:
"I was woken up in the middle of the night. I hurriedly put on my clothes and ran outside. It was really cold. I was busy catching pigs and repairing holes until it was almost dawn, and I was frozen. I caught a cold the next day... the high fever persisted, and it was better if I got an injection in the buttocks."

"Hahaha~ Then you are really miserable, what about the wild boar?" After Wang Yuan filled himself with wine, he poured wine for Er Gou, who quickly helped the wine glass.

"Eat it, not to mention it's really delicious... It's just that the big shed broken by the wild boar is over, so many cucumbers, tomatoes, and radishes are all frozen to death. What a pity... My mother almost choked me to death when she was so angry. Brother Yuan, it's none of my business for you to criticize the wild boar, and it's not my fault, so my mother is so unreasonable."

Ergou took a sip of the wine in aggrieved manner, Wang Yuan smiled but did not speak. In his impression, Aunt Xue was not an unreasonable person.

In the afternoon, Wang Yuan took Ergou for a stroll in and outside the village for a while, turned south at a crossing, and finally came to the canteen. When he saw Ergou playing cards, his hands immediately itched.

As a result, he lost several dollars within half an hour of the game, and Wang Yuan quickly pulled him up:
"Okay, okay, let's go."

When he walked out of the canteen, Er Gou sighed stupidly: "I'm not lucky today... Hey? What are those kids doing? Can you still play glass balls standing up?"

"Yes, there are many ways to play glass balls."

Recently, "glass ball" has become popular in the countryside, and the games are divided into boys and girls - such as turning flower ropes, jumping rubber bands, kicking shuttlecocks, copying Galaha, etc., are generally played by girls.

Playing papa, bumping abductees, catching ducks, bouncing marbles, jumping high, fanning paper, playing chess, etc. are generally played by boys.

And like hopscotch, playing sandbags, etc., both men and women have fun.

Wang Yuan and Er Gou walked over to watch, and saw a straight line about three meters long drawn on the ground. About 4 meters north of the straight line, there was a small rectangle drawn on the ground. The rectangle was 1 meter long and half a meter wide. There are 6~7 colored glass balls or porcelain glass balls.

At the beginning of the game, the children stood on the south side of the three-meter-long straight line and talked about the ball, swish swish~ they aimed at the glass balls in the rectangle.

slap~
"Amazing! It can still hit from such a distance!!"

Seeing that some children could hit the bullet in one shot, Ergou sighed in admiration. The children turned their heads to look at him and found out that he was a stranger, and they were a little shy, but they all knew Wang Yuan.

Those who are more extroverted and courageous dare to greet Wang Yuan with "Brother Yuan" or "Uncle Yuan", and Wang Yuan nods in response.

Whoever can pop the glass ball out of the rectangle will own the glass ball.

Some pursue recklessly, but if they miss, their own glass ball will fly far away, and it will be troublesome to play again next time.

And some children are more willing to pull in the distance, so that their balls are always wandering not far from the rectangle.

But it may also be too weak to make your ball roll into the rectangle - the rectangle is a restricted area, and the ball can no longer be picked up if it stops inside - so I can only take a ball from my clothes pocket depressed and stand outside the long line Replay.

wow~
While the children were running, the glass balls in the pockets of their clothes collided with each other and made a pleasant sound. The number of glass balls is still a strong distinction between strength and weakness, which carries the children's childhood happiness.

All the balls in the rectangle were quickly won, and the children each took out a ball and put it into the rectangle—that is to say, in each game, only one ball popped out of the rectangle was regarded as capital preservation, and two balls popped out of the rectangle was regarded as capital preservation. If you can earn one, you will lose if you can't play one.

Er Gou was fascinated by watching, Wang Yuan was not in a hurry to leave, and squatted not far away with him, smoking while watching.

As a round of intense and exciting games ended, a child soon lost all the glass balls pitifully, with dazed and sad eyes, and then saw him and another child muttering together What are you talking about.

Ergou asked curiously, "Where are they chattering? Why didn't they start?"

Wang Yuan didn't know either, but he could open his mouth and ask, "Hey! Heizi, what are you muttering about?"

Heizi is Feng Bing's nephew, and he doesn't know what his real name is. Anyway, his nickname is "Heizi", so he followed the trend and called him that.

There is a saying - only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname - Heizi is indeed quite dark, he turned his head and said: "Uncle Yuan, he wants to buy glass balls."

"Why sell it?"

"1 for 10 cents, hey, he wants to buy 2 cents, I plan to give him 21 and give him one more."

"Hehe~ You guys can still do business?" Wang Yuan laughed instantly, the children had almost no chance to make money, and now Heizi earned 2 cents with his own ability, and he was very happy.

Of course, the other side is not losing money, 21 glass balls are enough for him to play for a long time, and he may even win a few more.

After looking at it for a while, Er Gou also felt itchy. He rummaged through his pocket and took out the smallest note - 2 cents. He also bought 20 glass balls from the two children to play with - Heizi didn't have enough 20 cents in his pocket. The ball is gone, he can only find two people to buy it separately, and the children don't care that he is a ticket anymore.

clap clap~
It looks easy but it is difficult to play. He lost 5 balls in just 7 rounds, and he bounced the ball into the box twice in the middle, which was full of jokes.

The children are very happy, they like to play with the vegetable dog, the more vegetables the better.

It was getting late, and Ergou's nature came and went quickly. He laughed and said that he would not play anymore, and distributed the remaining ten or so glass balls to the children for free. The children watched Ergou silently. The dog's back, it's really hard to meet such a generous stranger.

So that in the next few years, as long as Ergou still came to Wangjiatuner, the children would shout excitedly: "Are you still playing glass balls?"

……

When Wang Yuan and Ergou came home, the third child was crying when he couldn’t catch the cat. The second child wanted to drink water but couldn’t reach the jug on the counter. The eldest daughter, Xiao Tingzi, was helping feed the chickens in the yard—Li Yan was busy Cooking is almost like flying.

"Xiaoyuan, you are back, hurry up and help me look after the children."

"Oh, come on, let me pour water for you, don't move, don't touch the pot, you are so small."

Wang Yuan poured water for the second child, and sprinkled a spoonful of sugar on her at the little girl's request.

He picked up the third child and coaxed him, but he couldn't coax him well, and he lost his patience, slapped his buttocks twice, and instantly became honest.

"If you cry again, you'll still get beaten. Don't cry anymore, you know?" Seeing the little guy nodding with tears in his eyes, he found a piece of candy and stuffed it into his mouth:
"If you don't cry, you can eat sweets, that's all right, let's go play."

At this time Xiaotingzi entered the room, Wang Yuan washed her dirty hands, then went to the second child who was waiting to drink water, found a bowl and poured water for her while drinking Two dogs chatting.

"Brother Yuan, amazing!"

"Haha, it doesn't matter if it's cooked. By the way, do you want to eat braised pork? Why don't you eat braised pork at night?"

"I can eat whatever I want, I'm not picky."

"Then eat braised pork. Your sister-in-law's braised pork is not as good as mine. Try my skills." Wang Yuan rolled up his sleeves and started cooking braised pork.

The light in the back room was a bit dim, but Er Gou didn't turn on the light. After he came to the back room, he chatted with Wang Yuan in the main room without saying a word, and saw a book on the counter and picked it up.

"Syracuse?"

Ergou didn't have much interest in books at first, but after flipping through a few pages, he gradually became fascinated, and he was still reading after Wang Yuan and his wife cooked the meal.

"Don't read the book, Ergou, let's eat."

Wang Yuan patted the light cord, and the dim light instantly filled the whole room.

"Brother Yuan, this book is really good."

"You like to read it? Then you can take it and go. Anyway, I have finished watching it. I can bring it back when I come back next time."

"Really? Then I really took it away."

"Snow City" is the work of Liang Xiaosheng, a contemporary writer. It tells the story of a group of educated youths who returned to the city from the Great Northern Wilderness. The Great Northern Wilderness is in Hei Province, so Ergou is so interested.

"Syracuse" was later selected into the "New China 70 Years and 70 Novel Collection", and it was indeed written quite well.

After dinner, Ergou suddenly said that he wanted to sell the vegetables from the farm to Yanjing, because the price in Yanjing was much higher.

"Brother Yuan, you have a lot of friends. Is there anyone in Yanjing who can help you? I won't let you work in vain."

"What are you talking about? We brothers will be divided when we talk about money... But after the delivery, it will be sold well, but the distance is not close, and many vegetables may rot on the way."

Wang Yuan touched the big white cat lying on his lap. The latter squinted its eyes and put its little paws on its face, purring and snoring happily.

"If some of the vegetables are rotten, the final price may be higher, but the total price may be lower after entering and exiting."

Ergou also hesitated after hearing Wang Yuan's words, but after pondering for a moment, his eyes became firm again, and he still wanted to have a fight.

Wang Yuan stopped persuading him and called Zheng Lian of Yanjing, agreeing to let Ergou go to Yanjing to talk to him in detail before hanging up.

"When you go, bring some vegetables, cucumbers, eggplants, beans and so on. If you have samples, you can negotiate... If things can be done, we can go to Yanjing with the wagon of the chicken farming cooperative to transport deer. .”

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said:
"Zheng Lian changed his brand of cigarettes recently and fell in love with King Furong. Just remember to buy two King Furong for him."

The Furongwang cigarette brand was established in 1994, that is, last year, but its rising momentum is very strong. In 1996, it was awarded the "National Best-selling Brand in 1996" by the Tobacco Bureau.

"Well, I remember."

Ergou looked at Wang Yuan gratefully, he knew that Wang Yuan really helped him, and he didn't ask for anything in return.

In fact, Wang Yuan can't get anything from Ergou, and Ergou also understands this. He feels that meeting Wang Yuan really burns the fragrance of eight lifetimes.

After staying in Wangjiatun for one night, Ergou took the "Snow City" and left on a motorcycle.

As soon as Ergou was sent away, her younger sister Xiaodie ran over with her schoolbag on her back, and the big white cat ran behind her.

"Meow meow~"

"Second brother, second brother, can you teach me some math problems!?"

"Yo~ Why do you love studying so much today?" Wang Yuan was very curious, looking at his sister's face, he felt that something was wrong.
