Xu and Laosan spent a long time pulling out the grass, groaning from exhaustion.
One person carried a small bench that he sat on when pulling weeds and a teapot and walked home.
"I'm so tired!" Chen Huilan thumped her shoulders, "If I had known that I would go home after the captain's inspection, I could lie down for a while before dinner."
"Then why don't you come back? Are you afraid that the second girl won't give you food?" Xu Laosan laughed at her.
"Are you still talking about me? Don't you also want to be lazy and sleep under the big tree?"
"But I held back."
"Didn't I hold back too?"
"well……"
The two of them let out a long sigh, and then touched their flat stomachs, hoping that the second daughter would prepare the meal and eat it when they get home, otherwise the afternoon's work would be in vain.
Before entering the house, suddenly, they smelled the fragrance in the air, and they all shrugged their noses: "What does it smell like? It smells so good?"
"Third brother, you two are in great luck. I saw your Yinyin brought a fish back. It looks like your family is having fried fish tonight!" The neighbor next door sniffed, "It smells so good! I wonder where Yinya is? The fish I caught, it seems like I haven’t seen any fish in the river in front of me for a long time.”
"fish?"
Xu Laosan and his wife looked at each other, their eyes shining brightly, and stepped into the threshold one after another.
"Yin Yin? Did you hear that Uncle Mancang said you were frying fish?" Xu Laosan ran into the house in a hurry. When he saw the grilled crucian carp with green onions that Xu Yin had just cooked, he rushed to her, "Yo! It's really fish. ? Two more? Where did they come from?"
"Caught in the river." Xu Yin raised the fish plate in her hand speechlessly, "Dad, wash your hands first!"
"Okay!"
"Yin Yin, how did you fry these beans? They are crunchy and taste better than meat!" Chen Huilan was so hungry that she couldn't help but pick one up when she saw the greasy garlic beans on the table.
Xu Laosan washed his hands and ran in: "Why did you eat it? Wash your hands first, do you hear me?"
"Aren't I eating with chopsticks?"
"That won't work! Go and wash your hands!" Xu Laosan felt that he was at a loss for washing his hands and eating less beans, so he asked his wife to wash her hands and ran into the kitchen to serve the meal, "Oh! Two rice of rice today? Not bad. Not bad! Better than sweet potato rice! I can eat two big bowls!"
Xu Laosan filled three bowls of rice, holding one bowl in one hand and another in both hands, and brought it to the table at once.
It was only after I sat down that I saw the dishes on the table. In addition to grilled crucian carp with green onions and green beans with garlic paste, there was also a plate of fried shrimp skin with leeks and a bowl of shrimp skin and seaweed soup.
"Where does shrimp skin seaweed come from? Do we have this stuff at home?" Xu Laosan asked confusedly.
Chen Huilan scolded him for being stupid: "When did our family have such a thing? We are almost out of vegetables."
"Then where did this come from?"
Xu Yin walked out of the room slowly and placed an unpackaged bottle of sorghum wine in front of Xu Laosan: "I bought it. Didn't you get paid for the matchbox you pasted a while ago? When you came back, you weighed some and bought it. I bought a bottle of wine. Dad, do you want to drink?"
Xu Laosan's eyes widened: "Think about it! Who doesn't want to drink wine?"
Xu Yin tried not to laugh out loud, unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured him a glass of wine: "Dad was very active in work today, so I will reward him with a glass of wine. If he is as active as he was this afternoon every day, I will not only buy him wine, but also give him a glass of wine." Dad buys filter cigarettes."
"Really?" Xu Laosan's eyes were as bright as the midnight stars after snow.
Xu Yin nodded and used her uneaten chopsticks to put a piece of fish into his bowl: "Of course it is true. I am your daughter. Seeing that you work so hard, I naturally hope you eat well. I'll get some meat tomorrow. Come back, let me stew the braised pork for you, and fry some peanuts for you to eat with your wine."
"Okay, okay!" Xu Laosan smiled happily, took a sip of wine, ate a bite of fish, and sighed with satisfaction, "This is how people live!"
Chen Huilan glanced at her daughter faintly: "What about Mom? Mom has been pulling weeds all afternoon, so Mom doesn't get any reward?"
"There must be some!" Xu Yin also took a piece of fish to Cheap Mom, "If Mom is as active as she is today in earning work points, when I save enough money, I can pull a piece of material for Mom to make new clothes."
"That's pretty much it!" Chen Huilan glared at her and chuckled, "Then mother is waiting!"
The couple had a very satisfying meal. At the end of the meal, they ate all the fish soup and rice. The plates were as clean as if they had been washed.
The key is that after eating, I still couldn't bear to wipe my mouth. I said I was going out to eat with my oily mouth, but in fact I went around to the consignment point at the entrance of the village where there were the most people, just to show off.
Everyone is the same these days. If anyone eats something oily or watery, they are reluctant to wash their face and wipe their mouth. On the one hand, they show off, and on the other hand, they lick the corners of their mouth to savor the aftertaste.
But mouths like those of Xu Laosan and his wife - mouths that are so oily that they feel like they have been rubbed and rubbed by pig suet, are rare.
"Third brother, what did you have for dinner at home? Look at your greasy mouth, or did you drink it directly from the oil pot as wine?"
When it came to wine, Xu Laosan got excited, shook his legs and said: "Hey, I really drank tonight! My second girl bought it for me. You said this kid's matchbox is so sticky that his eyes are almost I'm cross-eyed. Is it easy to save some money? As soon as I got the money, I ran to buy a bottle of wine, saying that I should be filial to me... But this wine is so spicy and exciting! Yeah! It's my fault, you guys gave birth to a son, He who has a daughter-in-law has a daughter-in-law to respect him, so how can he be short of a bottle of good wine? Isn’t that right?”
In the other room, Chen Huilan was also showing off to the group of female compatriots: "Today, Yinyin poured too much oil into the dishes she cooked in the kitchen. The fried fish and stir-fried vegetables were all oily...Yinyin also said that she had saved enough. The money is needed to make me new clothes, and I was asked to pick out the fabric myself. Oh, you said that this girl’s fingers are so loose that it’s easy to stick a matchbox together. You don’t know how to save some for yourself, but you insist on making me new clothes. I’m not even old yet, and I already enjoy the filial piety of a daughter. You haven’t yet, right?”
Everyone: "..."
So angry!
Are these two guys here to incite hatred?
"Speaking of which, when did your Yinyin become so strong? It took less than an hour to plow the two ridges of land in the afternoon. I heard from the captain that the plowing was very deep, deeper than the plowing of an ox."
"ah?"
The couple didn't know this yet, so they were a little dumbfounded after hearing it.
"Has Yinyin really plowed two ridges of land?"
"And it plows deeper than an ox plows?"
real or fake?
The couple thought their daughter came back early to cook and didn't finish the work at all.
But to be able to eat the dishes like tonight, it didn't matter whether I had work points or not, so the couple didn't even think of asking at the dinner table. At worst, if one of them asks the old couple for some tips and the other goes back to her parents' house for some tips, they can always get on with their lives.
Unexpectedly, my daughter came home after plowing the ground and was praised by the production team leader?
"What? You parents don't know that?" someone asked jokingly.
Chen Huilan laughed dryly: "I know! How could I not know! Yinyin has had ideas since she was a child. Even a few cows can't pull back the decisions she makes, so the third child and I have always paid little attention to her. She can do whatever she wants. What are you doing?"
