The Yu family's meal today was quite solid, with 6 dishes for 5 people.
A carp was stewed and a braised pork was stewed. These were two hard dishes.
Vinegar-cooked musu and meat stir-fried with chili peppers, these are two stir-fried dishes.
Peanuts and tofu mixed with green onions are two dishes that go well with wine.
Liquor Moutai, real beer.
Aunt Wang's cooking skills are quite good, and the food she prepares is both delicious and delicious. The specifications of today's food and drinks are basically what the Yu family has to offer during the holidays even if they are well off.
What era!
If you have money, you have to hide your stupidity. Who dares to show off their wealth?
I have seen many seniors who have traveled through time to this era, eating big fish and meat every day, and even deliberately coveting the neighbors in the courtyard, those beasts in clothes.
It's pure bullshit, the backhand was just a report, it didn't run away at all.
Everyone's monthly meat coupons are rationed. If your salary is high, it won't be a big deal if you exceed it occasionally. But if you eat meat every day, it's not a definite fact for speculation.
Exchanging money for meat tickets is called speculation.
Eating meat every day is like eating arsenic for a long-lived person.
Comrade Xiao Du has spent money lavishly recently, which can be explained by the fact that Comrade Lao Du saved a lot of money for him during his lifetime. Once he goes to work and repairs the house, Xiao Du will start to live in poverty.
Comrade Xiao Du stopped drinking the beer after one glass. Although the malty aroma was quite mellow and rare, drinking warm beer in summer is really not enjoyable.
Isn’t the 1963 Moutai delicious?
During the meal, Yu Moli changed her usual playful demeanor and became more ladylike. She occasionally glanced at Xiao Du, then lowered her head to eat without even drinking a sip of wine.
I don’t know who it was, but on the way back from drinking beer, she said she was thirsty, so she held a military water bottle to her mouth and drank half a pound of it. She knew how to drink, and her alcohol capacity was quite good.
The whole family felt it was awkward to pretend to be a lady, but everyone knew what was going on and no one exposed her.
During the dinner, Yu Zhengmin asked Xiao Du about his work, and Aunt Wang asked about Xiao Du's partner.
There is not much to say about work. I will report to the factory tomorrow and learn everything from scratch.
But with Jiang Dongfang supporting him at the top, and Chief Hao at the bottom, he was also Lao Du's six-year veteran, so it wouldn't be too uncomfortable no matter what.
Regarding the target, Comrade Xiao Du was very categorical. He would focus on work within a year or two and would not consider it for the time being.
When Yu Moli heard what Xiao Du said, she felt happy and disappointed at the same time. The sense of immersion was too strong.
Du Weiguo did mean to tell Aunt Wang and Yu Moli this. Don't get me wrong, it's not good.
Whether it is Zhao Yingnan or Yu Moli, although they are both great beauties, one looks like Xin Zhilei and the other looks like Bai Lu, they are really not Xiao Du's cup of tea.
Zhao Yingnan is still unbearable, but Yu Moli is completely immune.
Again, the professional characteristics of his previous life made him immune to beautiful women. Comrade Xiao Du has his own aesthetic standards and preferences, and he can still endure loneliness now.
During the meal, Comrade Lao Yu fanned himself with the sandalwood fan given by Xiao Du while eating. He was a little fat and drinking some wine would make him warmer.
And Yu Huaihai also directly pinned the new pen to his shirt pocket, which was very coquettish.
Yu Moli had always been a carefree and straightforward person, but now she was almost too embarrassed to be ashamed, so she asked directly.
"Brother Wei Guo, my dad has a fan, my mom and my brother all have pens, why don't I have anything?"
"Yes, I forgot to give it to you when I got distracted just now."
Comrade Xiao Du really forgot about it and quickly took out three handkerchiefs from his bag. One of them was a bit hard to get hold of.
"Jasmine, three handkerchiefs of different colors can be used interchangeably according to your mood. Is this a good gift?"
"Ah, it's so beautiful. I like it very much. It's simple and generous. Thank you, Brother Wei Guo."
"You're welcome."
Xiao Du learned his lesson and did not dare to joke again.
"Xiao Du, you can't spend money lavishly in the future. These three handkerchiefs cost several dollars."
Aunt Wang is online.
"Yes, you are right, Aunt Wang, but I haven't been back for six years. I will not spend money randomly in the future."
"Well, that's pretty much it. I heard from Huai Hai that you recognized a younger sister?"
While everyone was eating and drinking, Comrade Xiao Du told Aunt Wang and Yu Moli the story of how Niuniu, now called Zuo Lan, met.
Women are all emotional beings, and Xiao Du was also good at telling stories, which made Aunt Wang's eyes red and Yu Moli shed tears.
"Aunt Wang, I will go to Zuojia Commune after dinner at our house later. I will go to work tomorrow. I really won't have time to see her for a while, so I am a little worried about her."
"Xiao Du, I still have some pieces of new cloth and some rice at home. You can bring them to Niu Niu later."
"No, Aunt Wang, I have prepared enough food for them for a season, and I have also made them a new set of clothes. I also left a piece of cloth, but they will not be used for the time being."
"You, what do you know? What I gave you is the quilt cover and curtain fabric. They are all leftover. Just take them. It's a little bit of kindness from auntie to Niu Niu."
"Brother Wei Guo, I still have two bags of candy and some clothes from my childhood. You can bring them to Niu Niu. I want to see her when she comes to the city."
"Sure, I'll definitely take her to play with you. She's so good."
Yu Zhengmin didn't say anything. He came from the war years and had seen too many tragedies in the world. He couldn't say that his heart was like steel, but it didn't move him.
At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Comrade Xiao Du came out of Yu Huaihai's house and looked at the large package on the back seat of the car with a wry smile.
Yu Moli dug out all her childhood clothes, and Aunt Wang stuffed her quilt with fabric.
Although they are not expensive things, in this era, these things are also rare things that everyone fights for in rural areas.
I originally wanted to get a favor, but ended up getting good cigarettes, tea, and a big bag of clothes and fabrics, and I owed another favor.
It’s the hardest thing to return a favor!
Okay, let's take it slow in the future, the days are still long, let's see what happens.
Xiao Du rode his bicycle to Zuojiazhuang. It was around three o'clock in the afternoon, which was the hottest time, and there were not many people in the village.
They haven't been here for three days, so no one should bully them.
When we arrived at Zuo's wife's house, the door was open and there was no one in the yard, so we pushed the cart into the yard.
Xiao Du walked directly to the north room and knocked on the door.
"Auntie, Niuniu, I am Du Weiguo, are you at home?"
"Brother! My brother is here!"
Niu Niu's cheers were heard outside the door. Within two seconds, Niu Niu pushed open the door and flew into Du Weiguo's arms.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"Well, brother will go to work tomorrow. I will take the time to come and see you today."
At this time, Aunt Zuo also came out. Her smile was a little forced, and there was a woman beside her. She had high cheekbones and thin lips, and she was dressed neatly. Xiao Du had never seen her before.
The woman repeatedly looked at Comrade Xiao Du's clothes, the bicycle in the yard, and the packages on the back seat, then said goodbye to Aunt Zuo and left.
"Auntie, who is she?"
"Brother, she wants to recognize me as her daughter. I don't like her. Her children used to call me a bastard."
"Auntie, what's going on?"
"Xiao Du, let's go into the house and talk."
Comrade Xiao Du took the package from the back seat of the bicycle, followed Aunt Zuo, and walked into the house holding Niu Niu's hand.
In a few days, the smell of paint faded away, and the house was tidy and looked good.
"Auntie, tell me, what is going on?"
