Because of Wang Jianying, the Wang family can eat meat every month. Sun Guixiang next door is very envious. Every time I heard the sound of a bicycle, I hurried to Wang's house. If I couldn't eat meat, I would just eat a piece of candy.
However, the Zhao family has the best conditions in the village. Zhao Jiaojiao works in a state-owned hotel and can bring meat and fish back every week. The words that were said to be frivolous about her in the past have completely disappeared.
This is how people are, as long as they become strong, they will selectively forget what they have done in the past.
Zheng Jingwen goes to the Wang family to teach Wang Jianying every week, and occasionally teaches Liu Yufeng how to read. She learned quickly, but she was fake illiterate after all, but Zheng Jingwen thought she was a delayed genius, and lamented over and over again that it was a pity.
Zhao Chunhua was three months pregnant and had a severe reaction. She vomited everything she ate. Finally, she discovered that pickled radish can stop vomiting. Liu Yufeng left her a jar of pickled radishes to eat as a side dish when she lost her appetite.
On the fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, the village organized people to go fishing in the pond. Each production team has its own fish pond. Da'an has more than one production team, and there are also many fish fry in the river.
The water in winter is very cold. The elderly wore water boots, while the children and young people went barefoot. Liu Yufeng felt cold just looking at it.
The fish pond is uneven, with the water just up to the knees in some places and up to the waist in some places. Every household was out in force, with dustpans, baskets, vegetable baskets, bamboo baskets and all the tools imaginable being used.
Although the fish belong to the production team, part of the catch is handed over, and the rest is divided per head, but after catching the fish, many people secretly strangle it and put it in their pockets.
The more you wear in the winter, the more places you can hide. The captain knew this well, but he also understood that many things were too much, so as long as they were not too much, he just ignored them.
Liu Yufeng saw everyone standing on the shore laughing and joking, some catching big fish, some catching nothing at all, and she felt itchy and couldn't help but go into the water.
The water in the fish pond was different from the river water. It was smelly and black, and the mud underground was soft and rotten, making it difficult to walk.
She flopped for a long time before catching two small fish. Just as she was about to leave, a big black fish suddenly swam past her calf. She was so excited that she fell into the mud.
"Hahaha, third aunt, have you caught a big fish with your movements?" someone laughed.
"No, this fish is big." Liu Yufeng smiled and raised the black fish in her hand. It was as thick as a calf and weighed seven or eight pounds.
Everyone fished from noon to evening before returning home. Some were carrying buckets, some were carrying basins, and the fat fish shone in the sunset.
After returning, all the fish were put together, weighed and counted, and the ones handed in were packaged separately. The rest of the fish craned their necks to wait for the captain to speak.
Fish is a good thing, it only comes once a year.
The six adults and one child of the Wang family shared six big fish and one small fish. Some complained, while others went home happily.
Liu Yufeng didn't say anything. When she got home, she took out two small fishes from her pocket and said they would be fried for Miao Miao tomorrow.
Wang Jianping dug through his pockets, and finally took out six fish of different sizes. Wang Laosan also hid four or five fish. I have to say that it is not that one family does not enter the same house.
Wang Jian'an did not go into the water and kept standing on the shore talking to Zhao Jiaojiao. Su Mingli intervened midway, and he pushed the person into the fish pond in anger.
Su Mingli was not easy to mess with either. After crawling out of the fish pond, he started a fight with Wang Jianan. The commotion was too loud and the captain warned him to call the police next time, so they stopped.
From the bottom of her heart, Zhao Jiaojiao despised the two of them. One was a scumbag who had harmed her in his previous life, and the other was a poor man who defrauded women of their money. It would be better to come back less often in the future, so as not to ruin his reputation.
Liu Yufeng instructs the father and son to kill the fish, salt them and hang them on the wall to dry in the sun. They will not go bad if left for two months in winter.
Dinner was cooked by Wang Laosan. He stewed all the fish maws and intestines in one pot, and added pickled cabbage and chili to remove the flavor. It tasted pretty good. Everyone's face was red from the heat, but their mouths didn't stop.
Wang Jian'an came out of the house in the middle of the night and was startled when he suddenly saw his mother sitting in the living room.
"Are you going to beat up Su Zhiqing?" Liu Yufeng said coldly.
"No, I'm taking a shit." Wang Jian'an looked a little unnatural.
"Su Zhiqing cannot be humane. No matter how educated or handsome he is, Zhao Jiaojiao will not choose him. You two had a fight and he was injured at night. Even fools know who did it. Is it possible that you want to stay in the quarry for half a year?"
"But I don't like that boy!"
"If you can't sleep, just play chess with me."
Liu Yufeng briefly introduced the rules of backgammon to him, and then drew lines on the paper. The two of them drew circles with pencils, and the kerosene lamp was dim, which looked quite warm.
Wang Jianan was full of confidence at first, but then he lost miserably in five consecutive games, so he went back to sleep angrily.
The next day, Wang Jianan learned to make a desk from his elder brother.
Every time Zheng Jingwen came to class, he used the dining table, which was inconvenient and greasy, staining all the precious teaching materials.
Wang Jian'an will take on a few small jobs in winter, either helping others build furniture or doing it for his own family. Anyway, he won't be idle.
Wang Laosan ran into the mountains to install animal traps, and occasionally caught voles and occasionally pheasants. The New Year is approaching, and every household is gathering vegetables and meat. There is little work in the fields, and it is rare to have any free time.
Liu Yufeng took Zhao Chunhua, Miao Miao, and Wang Jian'an to the county to buy new year's goods, and also went to a state-owned hotel for lunch. Her original intention was to make Wang Jianan realize the gap between him and Zhao Jiaojiao and work harder.
It's lunch time, and the state-owned restaurant is crowded. Wang Jian'an saw Zhao Jiaojiao wanting to come forward to talk. Who would have thought that two men in blue-collar clothes who looked like cadres would go ahead of him to say hello.
Zhao Jiaojiao was obviously very familiar with them. Not only did she ask them gently how their work was, she even went to cook the food herself.
When eating in state-owned restaurants, you need to pay food stamps for staple food, meat stamps for eating meat, and vegetable stamps for vegetables. Liu Yufeng and the four of them ordered four taels of rice and four flower rolls as their staple food. The dishes included dried tofu with hot peppers, braised eggplant, and twice-cooked pork. They spent a total of three yuan.
Miaomiao entered a state-owned hotel for the first time. She narrowed her eyes with excitement when she saw the meat. Zhao Chunhua pinched her daughter's little feet that were moving around.
Wang Jianan looked back at Zhao Jiaojiao from time to time. He had long realized the gap between himself and Zhao Jiaojiao. One is doing nothing in the village, while the other is chatting and laughing with the county officials.
If you think Wang Jianan will feel inferior because of this, you are totally wrong. His biggest dream in this life is to marry a beautiful woman, and his second dream is to have a woman support him without having to work.
The Zhao Jiaojiao in front of me is beautiful and can make money. As long as he marries her, he won't have to work in the fields at all? You won’t starve to death even if you lie down at home!
Liu Yufeng suddenly realized that she was wrong. She cut Wang Jianan from the past life into two people. In his previous life, he hooked up with a wealthy widow in the county to support himself, but when the widow ran out of money, he immediately replaced her.
By the 1980s, self-employed businesses had sprung up. He hooked up with four female bosses at the same time, and his life was as carefree as the wind. But later it was discovered that the second child was interrupted.
In this life, before he hooked up with the widow, he decided that Zhao Jiaojiao was the most beautiful person in the world, so he insisted on marrying her, no matter what the cost.
In the original plot, Zhao Jiaojiao postponed her wedding for half a year after her rebirth, but under her coquettish ways, Wu Hongjun soon fell deeply in love with her. Wang Jian'an designed to frame Wu Hongjun, and also framed Zhao Jiaojiao for pushing his sister off the cliff. The method was very despicable.
Now that I think about it, it's not so much that he is paranoid about Zhao Jiaojiao, but rather that he is obsessed with eating soft food. Who doesn’t like young, beautiful, rich and well-paid women?
