Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 390: Drinking

Everyone in the compound came, and the rest had agreed to come on the sixth day.

Today is only the fourth day.

At noon that day, the family sat there to eat.

Wang Qiuju came back from the backyard with an empty bowl.

Dad looked at the bowls and chopsticks and smiled: "Have you finished eating?"

"Well, after eating, Xia Tian also fell asleep."

Wang Qiuju said with a smile, sat down and started eating.

While eating, he asked: "Hey, by the way, Lanlan's parents will come over tomorrow, and dad and the others will come over too. What should we do? It's a bit outrageous not to do this, right? Isn't it so polite in this courtyard?" "

Yang Guangzhi thought for a while and nodded slightly: "Indeed, it would be outrageous not to do it."

After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Let's do it, Xiaole, you can bring something back."

The next words were naturally directed at Yang Xiaole.

Yang Xiaole was eating, and when he heard this, he naturally agreed: "Okay, I understand, how many tables?"

"Three tables!"

Yang Guangzhi said without thinking: "There are eleven households in the compound, at least one or two people will come, right? Including you, Uncle Chen, and the others, there will be at least three tables."

"Okay, I see."

Yang Xiaole agreed.

Naturally, he took care of the food. After all, you have to eat a certain amount now.

It seems that the father and mother attach great importance to the first eldest grandson in the family.

When the eldest brother got married, he was hesitant about whether to do it or not. In the end, he had no choice but to do it anyway.

But for the eldest grandson, just do it directly.

While eating, the eldest sister came back from outside.

Seeing him come in, Yang Xiaole smiled. She was very busy these days, and the eldest sister even forgot to watch the results.

Yang Xiaole was not in a hurry.

I don't think it's a big problem.

really.

When I saw the eldest sister smiling, I knew her name was on the list.

But I still asked: "How was it? Have the results come out?"

"hey-hey!!"

The eldest sister smiled: "It's out, and it has my name."

Hearing this, everyone was happy for a while.

This is a good thing!

In this case, after the eldest sister graduates, she will be equivalent to a technical secondary school and directly become a cadre. And based on her grades, she has a good chance of entering university.

The family was chattering there.

Yang Xiaole nodded.

Finally got in.

Even if she is admitted to university and no longer has a job assigned to her, the academic qualifications obtained by her eldest sister from the High School Affiliated to the High School will be enough for her to live a good life.

Looking at Xizi next to him, he thought for a moment and asked: "Hey, Xizi, do you want to be a soldier in the future?"

Xizi said with a smile: "I think so! Who doesn't want to be a soldier!"

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Just think.

In the future, this guy will either serve as a soldier, or follow the general trend and go to the mountains and countryside. Anyway, there are still many choices.

I just don’t know if this guy will be stubborn and insist on going to the countryside with those children at that time.

But it doesn’t matter, do whatever you love!

It's a boy anyway.

He had to make arrangements for the girls at home.

I looked at Xiaomai who was eating quietly. Xiaomai was also 14 this year, one year older than Xizi.

Just because he started school late in rural areas, he now graduated from the fifth grade like Xizi and will soon enter the sixth grade.

I graduated from junior high school three years later, in the summer of 65, when I was 18 years old.

It can also be arranged.

After thinking about it for a while, I stopped thinking about it. Anyway, there are still several years left.

Looking at his elder brother, he smiled and asked: "Brother, are there any difficult cases in the factory recently? I'm here to help!"

The eldest brother smiled when he heard this: "Why are you so interested in solving crimes? You can go to college and go to the police station."

By the way, this guy really helped me handle several cases for more than half a year.

I thought he liked this business!

Yang Xiaole rolled his eyes. It was not to help his eldest brother to ascend to the throne. He had nothing to do but find something to do for himself!

After saying that, help him up, he must have some strength!
There's nothing to do anyway.

There was nothing wrong with Hong Kong Island, so he didn't want to go.

When I went there, it was just a matter of eating and drinking.

Looking at his expression, the elder brother said: "How can there be so many cases every day! Then our factory must not die in chaos."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole chuckled.

Anything trivial will do!

If not, forget it.

……

On June 6th, early in the morning, Yang Xiaole came back from outside on his bicycle.

Today, Ding Ruolan's natal family and her own family will come over.

Because it’s hot, we can’t put fresh things in, so we have to do it right then and there.

By this time, the family had already gotten up and started working.

Yang Xiaole came back with the cloth bag, parked the car, and saw two baskets of vegetables at the door.

There are many things in the basket.

Half green and half red tomatoes, peppers, Chinese cabbage, beans... there are quite a few things!
When he saw the basket, he knew who was coming.

Aunt.

This dish must have been given by my aunt.

Last year, major factories in the city jointly set up farms in the countryside, and my aunt's family was moved into the farm.

The children are taken care of by their grandparents.

I am still growing vegetables in the production team.

Sure enough, when I came to the door, the lights in the main room were on, and I saw several people chatting inside.

My aunt is picking leeks there, and my mother is getting water spinach there.

This is prepared for lunch.

"Auntie! You are here! When did you arrive?"

Yangmei was picking vegetables and chatting. When she heard the shouting, she turned around and looked with a happy face: "Xiao Le! Not long after we arrived, I went to the production team to cut some vegetables in the morning and sent them to you as early as possible. They are still fresh. ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled.

Needless to say, this dish is made by the production team, and there are vegetable farmers everywhere.

It must have been done by my eldest uncle and his parents.

Because Auntie and the others are already members of the farm.

"Sorry to trouble you."

"Hey, why are you so polite to me? What did you buy?"

Yang Mei smiled, looked at his bag and asked.

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he looked at the bag and said with a smile, "It's not a good thing."

As he spoke, he picked up the basin next to him and poured the stuff out.

Pigs go into the water.

Pig intestines, pork belly, pig heart, pig lungs and pork kidneys.

Not a piece of meat.

There was some pig blood and tofu on the side.

Seeing this, Yang Mei shook her head speechlessly: "This is not a good thing!"

Although this thing is cheap, it also requires meat coupons now. Three kilograms require one kilogram of meat coupons.

It’s not uncommon!

Yang Xiaole smiled and said, "My master found some connections to get it for me."

He poured the things into the basin and said to my mother, "Mom, is this enough? This is to be cleaned. Hurry up and boil the water. It won't taste good if it smells bad."

These things are made in quantities of four tables.

These may seem like a lot, but in fact, if you really want to count them in terms of meat votes, it will only cost about three kilograms of meat votes, which is not too outrageous.

When Wang Qiuju saw this, she clapped her hands and walked over.

Everything was checked.

Make sure there is no dirt at all.

Then he laughed and said: "The oil from the pig's large intestine was picked and boiled in a while. There is so much oil!"

Yang Xiaole quickly shook his head: "Stop picking it! Just burn it like this."

The oil from pig intestines has a stinky smell, and if it is boiled out, it will still smell bad.

It’s not like we lack this stuff at home.

No need.

Wang Qiuju thought about it for a moment, then nodded after thinking about it.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole looked at the aunt next to him and said quickly: "Aunt, my father specially told you to leave a pair for you. Let's get out of the water together later. Then take it back. Don't pick off the oil on it. ”

Everyone knows that dad often gives food stamps to my aunt.

Just like my mother sending something to her hometown.

There are also non-staple foods occasionally, but not so frequently. After all, there are too many to justify.

Hearing this, Yang Mei looked at Wang Qiuju with some embarrassment.

Seeing her gaze, Wang Qiuju smiled and said: "It will be cooked and taken out in a while. You can take it back when the time comes. If you don't take it with you, I won't want this dish either."

After speaking, he pretended to be angry.

Yang Mei smiled upon seeing this; "Okay, then I'm not welcome."

"Hey, why are you so polite!"

Wang Qiuju looked satisfied, and then started to get the pig into the water.

Although it was said to be clean, she was still worried, so she got some warm water and a little alkaline water and started cleaning it.

The eldest sister, Xiaomai and Xiaoli were naturally called to work.

As for Xizi, no one cares.

These days, women still have to do the work, and men are basically not allowed to do it. "Okay, go and squint for a while, we are here!"

My mother looked at him and explained.

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "It's okay, I'm not sleepy anymore anyway, I'll pick vegetables."

I sat next to my eldest sister and started working.

There is already marinated rabbit meat, pheasant, and the like cooking in the pot on the stove, and the air is filled with the aroma of meat.

Work until dawn and go to work when it's time to go to work.

The children were also attracted by the scent.

People in the compound naturally came to help.

……

After working for a long time, grandpa came over with brothers Yang Guangping and Yang Guangan, and the uncle's family and Chen Dalin also arrived one after another.

The courtyard became lively.

Smoking cigarettes and chatting.

Apart from saying hello at the beginning, Yang Xiaole was basically helping out later on. Naturally, there were two people involved in greeting people: his eldest brother and his father.

I am not interested in hearing what they are talking about there.

After a while, Ding Ruolan's parents came over with some things.

The in-laws and in-laws exchanged greetings for a while, then the two left their things and went to the backyard to see the children.

"Hey, brother, my eldest sister-in-law said that Xia Tian should be given to them first."

Yang Xiaole is busy.

Then he saw the spy's little girl running over, muttering mysteriously.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole smiled nonchalantly: "Don't say anything. If he really dares to speak, you will see if dad will fall out of favor."

If this were the case in later generations, this could still be mentioned.

How could this eldest grandson be given to them?

Want to eat fart!

Dad gets off work every day. No matter how tired he is, he has to go over and see his eldest grandson. How can he give it to him?

He probably dared to talk to Ding Ruolan.

"Oh! Then I'm going to get some information."

After Xiaoli finished speaking, she ran back again.

Fortunately, the other party didn't stupidly mention this matter to his face later.

Hosting a banquet is really tiring. Every household helps with cooking and steaming rice, otherwise one pot would be too busy.

This steamed bun was bought from a store outside with food stamps.

It was said that there were three tables, but in the end there were four tables.

There are five dishes in the pig's water, one salted chicken, one salted pork, one rabbit, one salted fish, and one scrambled egg.

Although there is no pork, it is estimated that few companies can afford this level.

Ten meat dishes, as well as vegetables, fungus, vermicelli, pig blood, and tofu.

There are twenty dishes in total.

There is no other way. When one adult comes from each family, the remaining people have to eat. If we can't open so many tables, we have to prepare more dishes.

The whole compound was very lively.

The wine is also the cheapest liquor, but fortunately the quantity is large.

The steamed buns are enough.

The cigarettes basically never stopped.

The entire compound was eating like a war. Every dish was finished as soon as it was served. It was just like the Chinese New Year, and everyone who ate had their mouths full of oil.

The soup base was all eaten up with the steamed buns dipped in it.

Aunt Yang Mei looked on in shock: "Qiu Ju, can you bear it?"

Yang Guangzhi gave himself food, but there were so many people!

There are dozens of people in the entire compound.

If you eat it openly and kill one person, you will not be able to exceed the ration for two or three months.

Although Wang Qiuju was happy, she was still clear-headed. She said with a smile, "For today's event, Xiaole has already started to get fish, pheasants, and rabbits to exchange for things, otherwise we won't be able to get everything together."

After speaking, he smiled and said: "By the way, there is also this dish. If you don't prepare so many dishes, we won't have so many dishes to eat."

This is for Yang Mei.

It was also told to the people in the compound.

Anyway, Yang Xiaole went out to play and catch some things when he had nothing to do. Everyone in the compound knew about this. Except for fish, no one in the compound knew where he caught other things.

At least the people in the compound have never been short of fish.

Except for Mrs. Shen's family, their family is short of food and not so rich.

Yang Mei also knew about Yang Xiaole's fishing.

He nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

Today we have to go to work. Those who are full of wine and food should go to work, and those who have children should go out to play.

The remaining aunts in the compound were there to help out.

Wash dishes and basins.

Except for the uncle and a few others, everyone else had dispersed, and it suddenly felt a lot cleaner.

These people didn't chat for long, and they dispersed soon after.

Only Ding's father and Ding's mother were left chatting with the father and others in the main room.

The uncle took Qian Hongying and Ziqiang back to the textile factory.

After a busy day, these people have all dispersed.

As for how much money Mother Ding gave to her sister-in-law, no one cares about it, and they will know it later.

But Yang Xiaole knew.

Xiaoli, the secret agent who reported it, was given thirty yuan.

Not too little.

The tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks have all been packed up and returned, and today's affairs are all over.

Only the aunt finally left happily carrying the burden.

After everyone left, the eldest sister muttered: "Oh my God, it's done. It's exhausting. No, I have to go to sleep for a while."

I woke up very early in the morning. I was so busy and the weather was hot, so I felt a little sleepy.

Wang Qiuju didn't care.

Anyway, the house has been tidied up.

I started busy getting food for my daughter-in-law again.

Seeing that things were almost the same, Yang Xiaole breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was also happy to do so.

He still likes this kind of scene where everyone is busy together when there is something going on at home, although it is a little annoying.

This is actually similar to celebrating the New Year in later generations.

When you leave the countryside and come to a big city, the brothers are far away, so the smell is gone.

Although he didn't have much family affection before.

When I came to the backyard, I saw Mrs. Yang holding two pairs of small tiger-head shoes, chatting with her mother there.

"My daughter has plenty of milk, and this boy is strong."

This made Yang Xiaole, who had just come in, feel embarrassed.

"old lady."

After coming in, he smiled and said hello.

Before, everyone thought this old lady was having a comeback, but over the past six months, her body and bones have been getting better and better.

"Hey, Xiaole!"

The old lady showed her few remaining front teeth and smiled.

Much cleaner than before.

Wang Qiuju smiled when she saw this and said: "The old lady made two pairs of tiger-head shoes for Xia Tian, they look good!"

While gesturing at the two pairs of small shoes in his hands.

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded: "Yeah, it looks good."

Compared with things bought in the mall, he prefers shoes made by neighbors or relatives. They may not be so exquisite, but they are definitely durable.

Ding Ruolan leaned on the bed, looked at Yang Xiaole and said hello with a smile.

"Everyone has left, right? You are exhausted."

"Well, let's go."

Yang Xiaole smiled, and then said: "What's the point of this, my family."

Hearing this, Ding Ruolan smiled, took out all the money given by her relatives, and gave it directly to my mother.

"Mom, take this money."

Wang Qiuju was surprised for a moment, then shook her head: "Hey, this is for the child, you can take it yourself and ask for some money on hand."

"It's okay, we still have some left. Mom, please take it."

Ding Ruolan declined.

Yang Xiaole watched from the side without making a sound, and hugged Xiao Xiaxia with a smile: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, little guy, second uncle, give me a hug."

Holding the little guy in his arms, he swayed carefully.

He had never held such a small child. In the past few days, he had been complained a lot by his mother because of the way he held the child.

Now I have learned it.

As for the money Ding Ruolan gave his mother, he didn't care, and it wasn't much.

This is not the case with people. No matter whether the sister-in-law does it for him or not, if she can get by in the personnel field, that is a good thing.

He is most afraid of quarrels.

very annoying.

The two of them struggled for a while, but in the end, I still refused to take it off.

Ding Ruolan didn't refuse in the end.

Then the old lady and my mother chatted about the gossip in the compound.

Yang Xiaole was also listening nearby.

Suddenly, I felt a heat in my arm and said quickly: "Mom, hurry up, Xia Tian probably peed."

He quickly handed the child to his mother.

Upon seeing this, Wang Qiuju hurriedly took it, but instead of peeing, she pooped.

Yang Xiaole saw this and said quickly: "I'm leaving! You guys talk."

He has a shallow throat, and although the child's stools in the past few days are not smelly, he still can't stand it.

Seeing him escaping, the old mother and the old lady were smiling happily.
