Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 113 112 Qingming (two in one)

"I understand, then I have to thank you very much." When Tang Zhitong heard the mention of salary, he didn't understand it yet, but Wang Jingwen did.

It was not only salary but also status that was mentioned. At present, Tang Zhitong was not a cadre, so before the marriage, Ye Zhijuan and Hao Ren repeatedly emphasized that he should get a secondary school certificate.

"Thank you, Uncle Hao." Tang Zhitong didn't think about it and thanked Wang Jingwen. He hesitated for a moment and then asked: "Um...Uncle Hao, can I study part-time while studying for this training program?"

"Why? Don't want to give up this job?" This time it was Hao Ren's turn to be puzzled and asked half-guessing.

"It's not that I can't bear to work, it's that I can't bear the salary. It's about forty yuan a month. The subsidy for college students doesn't seem to be that high..." Facing Hao Ren, Tang Zhitong did not hide anything and spoke out what was in his heart.

The reason why Tang Zhitong hesitated was ultimately because of money.

Obtaining the technical secondary school certificate has met the expectations of my mother-in-law. If I go to school again, my personal future will be better, but the burden of supporting the family cannot fall entirely on Wang Jingwen, right?What's more, they only want to have children temporarily, not in two or three years!Having a baby is even more of a burden!

"Haha, Xiao Tang, you are thinking too much. You are paid for this commissioned training. The reason why I say you are good at carding is because after getting a technical secondary school diploma, you can change your job and satisfy the requirements of the commissioned training. If you meet the cultural level requirements and your outstanding personal performance, you can be ranked among the top five in this training list." Hao Ren finally saw that Tang Zhitong didn't understand the twists and turns, and explained it to him clearly. .

"Thank you, Uncle Hao!" Tang Zhitong finally understood why his daughter-in-law said "Thank you very much" just now. In terms of sensitivity to this kind of thing, it is Wang Jingwen. After all, she has been influenced by what she has heard and seen, and is much better than a grassroots like herself... …

"You're not an outsider, you're welcome. Pay more attention to what's going on here when you come into contact with him, and you'll understand slowly." Hao Ren did not laugh at Tang Zhitong, but taught him carefully.

After everyone chatted for a while, Hao Ren looked at his watch and started to chase people away.

After coming out of Hao Ren's house, Tang Zhitong and Wang Jingwen rushed home under the stars and the moon.

"Brother Eucalyptus, are you so happy?" Wang Jingwen looked at her man's grinning mouth and said jokingly.

"It feels like a dream, I can't believe it." In two lifetimes, Tang Zhitong has always been a leek at the bottom. Bah, grassroots.Everything requires hard work from the parents and hard work by oneself. Unexpectedly, today I was suddenly told that I was going to be commissioned!And it’s Beijing Postal Service!
Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications is currently just an ordinary higher education institution affiliated with the Ministry of Education. It will be upgraded again next year and become one of the 64 key universities in the country!Waiting for myself to graduate, oh, so happy...

Commissioned training, the full name is entrusted training, is a special product under special historical conditions. It lasts for about several decades. It is more valuable than amateur academic qualifications and is equivalent to the unified education qualifications. After graduation, you can return to the entrusting unit to work, and your employment is guaranteed.

"It's not a dream. In a few months, brother, you will be a college student." Wang Jingwen is also very happy. He has good taste and the person he personally selected is several blocks away from the young man introduced by his family!

"Wenwen, was it stupid for me to ask that question just now? Did I embarrass you?" At the Hao family, when Hao Ren said that he must have a place for training, Tang Zhitong's first reaction was not happiness, but hesitation.I’m so scared of poverty that I completely forget that I have space, and I’m just working and studying half the time!

It’s so sweet to go to college with a salary!
"No, I'm actually very happy. Brother Yuzi asked because of the Gu family. In fact, even if you seriously go to college, I can afford it. It's just a little bit harder."

"Hey, I don't want to make you suffer so much. This is good." Tang Zhitong knew that Wang Jingwen could do that kind of thing, but he couldn't bear it...

When the two arrived home, the door was ajar and the lights in the main room were still on.

After Zhang Guifang confirmed that her son and daughter-in-law were back, she turned off the lights and rested.

Tang Zhitong put the door in place and returned to the wing with Wang Jingwen to wash up and settle down.

"Brother Eucalyptus, you will be a college student from now on, and you will still be an undergraduate. You must not dislike me for being a technical secondary school student." Although Wang Jingwen was happy for her man, she felt a sense of crisis for no reason.

"How could it be? You didn't dislike even a technical secondary school cadre after I graduated from junior high school. If I dislike you in turn, wouldn't my conscience be eaten by a dog?" Tang Zhitong didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He stroked Xiao Wang's smooth, satin-like skin and comforted her.

"Well, then you are not allowed to associate too closely with other female college students." Wang Jingwen has seen a lot of female college students, and there are not a few who suddenly change their identities to fill houses for others.

"Xiao Wang, if you say this, my brother will criticize you. In my eyes, no one can compare to you. When school starts, I will take you to register together. You declare ownership and take a good look at those things. The crooked melon and the split date." Tang Zhitong is good at grasping the key points, grasping it with both hands, and both hands must be strong.

"I hate it, how can you say that about your classmates." Xiao Wang was very happy when he heard this and thought about it. It seemed that there was some truth in it.

This happiness made his interest high. Classmate Xiao Wang performed a dance for his man. There was no shortage of difficult movements such as horseback riding and leg raising. Tang Zhitong said that he had learned a lot, and his knowledge was enriched again!
Tang Zhitong had no feelings for ballet before, but now his concept has changed. He simply loves this art sport to death...

The next day, Tomb Sweeping Day, fell on a Sunday, and it didn’t rain at all.

When Wang Jingwen was having breakfast, she handed ten yuan into her mother-in-law's hand. This was agreed in advance and she did not forget it.

Tomb sweeping is held during the Qingming Festival to pay homage to deceased relatives.Rural people are particular about women not visiting graves, but urban people are not so particular about this matter in recent years.

After tidying up at home, Tang Zhitong and Wang Jingwen rode their bicycles and headed straight to the cemetery with Fengzhen, Fengzhi and memorial supplies.

I won’t go into detail about the process of sweeping the tomb. The procedures are the same, but this time it’s not as heavy as the last time I accompanied my uncle.

After sweeping the tomb, the four of them did not go home, but cycled north to Dongba.

Dongba is still a continuous stretch of farmland at this time. A lot of it was deserted last year. When the winter is hungry, the efficiency cannot be improved, and some land is still deserted.

Tang Zhitong's destination was these farmlands. He took his two younger sisters to dig wild vegetables, which he called "spring outing".

Wang Jingwen was a little dissatisfied with Tang Zhitong's behavior of fooling the two sisters-in-law, and promised them that he would take them to the zoo next weekend.

After hearing this, Fengzhen and Fengzhi called out "Long live my sister-in-law", and they couldn't be more kissy with Wang Jingwen.

"Do you know what shepherd's purse is? The kind you ate last time, pick out the tender ones and dig more. Then I will make dumplings for you to eat. The kind mixed with fat meat." Tang Zhitongle's sisters are close to their daughter-in-law, but they themselves I have to maintain my family status, and I can't treat my sisters badly by making rabbits for my brother-in-law, and I'm eating meat today!

After the cold wave, the weather is clear and sunny, which is indeed a good weather for spring outings.

The cold wave in spring is different from the cold wave in autumn. After the cold wave in spring, the temperature will rise rapidly, while in autumn it will become colder day by day.

Tang Zhitong let Wang Jingwen and his two sisters dig shepherd's purse while he found a place with dense weeds to mow the grass.The reproductive ability of rabbits is so terrifying that it can be called a "violent force". It is said that among mammals, the reproductive rate of rabbits is second only to mice.

After more than half a year of breeding, there are more and more rabbits in Tang Zhitong's home, and the consumption of grass feed is also increasing.

Although Tang Zhitong collects rabbits from time to time, there are still many in the yard.

Tang Zhitong knew that now he could still use the excuse of only attending a half-day class to pull grass out of the space. But after he goes to college, he may not have a reasonable explanation, so most of the rabbits must be dealt with before the start of school in August. Lose.

Tang Zhitong finished cutting a large area of ​​weeds and packed two sacks into the space.

On the other hand, Wang Jingwen's sister-in-law and the three of them were laughing and joking and only dug about three or four kilograms.

Tang Zhitong doesn't pick and choose. He only comes out once in a while. As long as they are happy, they can pick up the tender ones at home and use them to make a meal of dumplings.

The four of them had some lunch in the fields. They said it was lunch, but in fact it was the sacrifice prepared by Zhang Guifang in the morning. It wasn't much. They had a few mouthfuls, the bulk of which was the meal in the evening. The two sisters were looking forward to it.

When returning to the city, Tang Zhitong tied two sacks tightly to Wang Jingwen's bicycle. The sacks looked big, but they were filled with grass and were not heavy. He asked her to take the sacks with her.

Tang Zhitong was carrying his two younger sisters. He was worried that the two younger sisters would be dishonest. If Wang Jingwen took the lead, if one of them was unstable and three of them fell, he would feel bad for whoever fell.

After returning home, Fengzhen and Fengzhi couldn't wait to talk to Zhang Guifang about what they had seen today, emphasizing again and again that their brother said today they would eat shepherd's purse meat dumplings, the kind with big fat.

The whole family's bills are in Zhang Guifang's hands, and her housekeeper is a meticulous person. Throughout April, the whole family had fifteen meat bills, and they saw meat every two days.

During breakfast this morning, Wang Jingwen told her mother-in-law that Tang Zhitong was about to become a college student, which inadvertently elevated Tang Zhitong's status and voice.

Since Tang Zhitong said that he would eat meat-filled dumplings today, and the Tang family has always had the habit of eating dumplings on happy occasions, Zhang Guifang took out four meat stamps from the drawer, took the non-staple food certificate and money, and went to buy them.

"Mom, I'll go buy it. You stay at home and talk to me. You have to do this. We can't do it well." Tang Zhitong stopped him quickly. He had to buy the meat himself, otherwise where would the fat come from?
Nowadays, buying meat depends entirely on luck. It depends on where you cut it. It's already afternoon. Tang Zhitong doesn't expect to buy fat meat. He just buys some lean meat and then steals the space and changes the pillars. Then the fat meat will be there.

Without the use of space, Tang Zhitong almost forgot that he had such a thing.

There is still meat in the grocery store, but there is not much fat left. Tang Zhitong can tell that it is frozen meat without even using his hands.

Tang Zhitong carried the meat home and took it out under the door. Two fingers of fat hung on the outer layer of lean meat. It weighed a lot, just a little heavier than the meat bought from a grocery store.

Tang Zhitong felt that his mother didn't have the ability to grasp the weight, and could fool him about the weight.

Sure enough, after Tang Zhitong entered the house, Zhang Guifang's eyes were glued to the fat. She couldn't hold it back and said, "Eucalyptus, this meat is good, it's a pity to make dumplings, isn't it? How about refining the oil?"

"Mom, our family hasn't eaten dumplings for almost two months." Tang Zhitong looked at the expectant eyes of his two sisters and said to Zhang Guifang tactfully.

"Okay, it's up to you, it's up to you." Zhang Guifang said nonchalantly, concentrating on making peace with each other.

"Mom, next time, I'll look for a chance to buy some suet next time. That's it, you know." Zhang Guifang didn't refine oil for herself, but to manage the family. Tang Zhitong could understand, so she pointed to the roof and signaled that she had given it to her before. The channel my mother mentioned.

"That's okay. We're not in a hurry, we don't know what the future will be like." Zhang Guifang didn't want to embarrass her child, and she had the attitude that it would be okay if she had it, and it would be fine if she didn't.

"Fengzhen, go and wash the vegetables with your sister-in-law. Wash them and bring them over with water so that I can cut them into fillings. Fengzhi, go and peel the garlic." Tang Zhitong arranged the work for the two sisters and cut the meat into soybeans himself. Pour the soy sauce into small cubes, sprinkle with salt and marinate slightly.

There isn't much meat in the first place. If you chop it into minced meat, you won't be able to get the satisfaction brought by the grainy texture.

Tang Zhitong made the stuffing, and the whole family made the dumplings together.

After the Spring Festival, even Fengzhi was wrapped in a decent way. Zhang Guifang didn't dare to let her put more stuffing, for fear that it would be too much and not firm.

While Zhang Guifang was making the dumplings, Fengzhen took the garlic her sister had chopped and put it in a garlic mortar to make minced garlic.

This garlic mortar has been used for many years, and it is older than Fengzhidu. It is made of pure stone and is exquisitely handmade. This craftsmanship is even in a small book, and it must be at the level of a "garlic mortar craftsman".

Tang Zhitong was busy making chili oil, which he would use to dip dumplings in for Xiao Wang later.

Chop the chili peppers, mix with some sesame seeds, fine salt, white sugar, white wine, five-spice noodles, and crushed peanuts. Use the vegetable oil you cooked before. Heat the oil and add it to the pan. Stir-fry over low heat. Don't stir-fry until it becomes mushy. Wait for a while until the aroma comes out. Stir fry for a while and it will come out of the pan.

It is said to be used to dip dumplings, but in fact it can also be used to dip noodles or steamed buns. You can eat it any way you want.

The dumplings are cooked in three pots. The first pot is used for worship, and the rest is eaten by the two little ones.

Since Tang Zhitong came to this era, the number of memorials held by Zhang Guifang has increased sharply. In Hao Ren's words, it is called "the card is good". In the words of the common people, it is "the ancestral grave is on fire". Well, the ancestral grave is indeed on fire. Although Tang Wenbang didn't say anything, but Tang Zhitong guessed that grandpa's coffin boards were dug out and burned...

Zhang Guifang said that Tang Zhitong and Wang Jingwen should eat the second pot, but Tang Zhitong insisted on letting the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law eat it first. He just saw that his mother put the Fengzhi wrapped in the third pot. The filling was small, incomplete and even torn.

"Are they delicious?" Tang Zhitong took out the third pot of dumplings and ate the stuffed ones by himself, dipping them in garlic vinegar and eating them with gusto. It would be even more delicious if there was a bowl of dumpling wine.

"Yeah, yeah." The two sisters were jealous. When they heard their brother's question, they had no time to reply, so they kept nodding and humming.

And classmate Xiao Wang, dipped in the chili oil mixed with vinegar, her eyes turned into crescents when she smiled. Tang Zhitong saw this and fell drunk into her dimples again. Let's continue to learn and gain knowledge tonight!
　It seems that the dipping water for eating dumplings is different in different places?
