Li Laifu didn't want to talk nonsense with them anymore. After talking to the three of them for a while, Li Laifu almost vomited.
Watching the old lady cut up the fat intestines, belly, pork liver and lungs and put them in a bag for him, Li Laifu carried the bag and walked out.
Old man Li, old lady and his second aunt, as well as Xiaohu and Xiaolong, took him to the entrance of the village. Along the way, he felt the benefits of being an elder. People kept calling him uncles and grandfathers.
Especially those naked children, when they see Old Man Li, they call them "ancestors".
Old man Li saw that Li Laifu was very happy and asked: "Grandson, are you happy? Your grandpa is just old. When I was young, I often walked around the village, just waiting for others to call me. If anyone didn't call me, I would Ask their adults to reason with you."
Li Laifu finally knew that his naughty personality was exactly like his grandfather's.
"Grandpa, are you giving this away to my brother-in-law?" Li Tiezhu and his gang asked while standing in the field.
"Yes, your uncle is going back to the city," Old Man Li replied with his hands behind his back.
Li Laoliu immediately shouted: "Tie Zhu, help your uncle get the things. Tie Hammer, you bring a gun! Send your uncle to the city gate."
"Uncle Six, don't you need to bring a gun?" Li Tiechui said.
Li Laoliu cursed with a dark face: "You know what the heck, your uncle is carrying meat in the sack. What if someone robs you? Just go if you are told. There are so many bullshit, otherwise You just stay here to fetch water and let others go.”
"I'll go, I'll go! Isn't that okay?"
Li Laifu almost blurted out, "I'll strangle you."
If someone helped him carry something, of course he would not refuse and handed the sack directly to Li Tiezhu.
"Xiao Liuzi, you did the right thing," Old Man Li said, why didn't he think of it just now? The old woman must have been nagging her to forget.
The three of them chatted along the way, and Li Laifu even took Li Tiechui's gun to satisfy his cravings. "Uncle, this is an American gun. I heard from the militia platoon leader in the commune that this is called a Springfield rifle," Li Tiechui said. .
Li Laifu nodded, but the damage was quite serious. It was probably captured on the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea.
It took the three of them an hour to reach the city gate. Li Tiezhu was carrying a gun and did not dare to enter the city. Li Laifu took the bag and carried it on his own to the city. They arrived at Nanluogu Lane in half an hour.
There are two or three old ladies sitting at the entrance of every compound, and there are always a few old men sitting under the roots of the big tree opposite Da Ruan, playing chess.
After all, he came from the countryside. He was not born and raised in this alley and didn't know many people, so he carried the sack and walked forward in a depressed manner.
Just as I walked to the gate of No. 88 compound, I heard a few old ladies at the gate of No. 89 calling "Director?"
Li Laifu stopped and looked back. He happened to know Director Zhang from the street, a middle-aged woman in her 40s. He had been to their compound during the Chinese New Year. He suddenly thought that when he read novels in the past, he always heard that in this era, eating good food was good. Want to be reported?
He can't hide so much meat, and the yard is small. Whenever meat is fried, the whole yard can be smelled.
After a while, Director Zhang was already riding a bicycle with an old lady sitting behind him and walked up to him.
"Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang!" Li Laifu shouted twice.
Crunch! The brakes were applied.
"What are you calling me for? You look familiar? Whose child are you?" Director Zhang asked.
"Director, I know! He is the eldest son of Li Chongwen in Courtyard No. 88, and his name is Li Laifu," the old lady in the back seat said hurriedly.
This old lady, also named Liu, is the leader of the residents committee in this area.
"Xiao Laifu, what do you want from me?" Director Zhang asked kindly.
Li Laifu put the sack on the ground and said, "Aunt Zhang, I just want to ask if we can eat meat?"
Director Zhang smiled and said, "You kid, what are you talking about? Our street issues meat stamps every month. Although meat is difficult to buy, how can we stop people from eating meat?"
Li Laifu also felt that there was something wrong with what he said, so he quickly said: "Aunt Zhang, I made a mistake. Our family can eat it? Isn't it the meat we bought at a state-owned food station?"
Old Mrs. Liu in the back seat jumped up when she heard this. Director Zhang also got off the bicycle and asked: "Don't buy meat at the state-owned food station? Where does your family get the meat?"
After saying this, Li Laifu felt that there was still a problem, and the atmosphere became tense. He quickly reached into the sack, pulled out a wild boar head and said, "Aunt Zhang, can I eat the wild boar meat I killed?"
Director Zhang smiled and said: "You kid scared me! Of course you can eat the wild boar you shot. We are serving the people, how can we prevent people from eating good food? What is it called serving the people? But now it is Under the planned economy, your family actually has meat, so this month, your family’s 2-tael meat stamps will not be issued to your family.”
He then said something sincerely: "In these days, as long as you don't steal or rob, you can find food according to your ability. If you can't find it and starve, you can't blame others."
These leaders obviously know much more than ordinary people, otherwise she wouldn't be able to say this with emotion.
The old Mrs. Liu next to her said with a smile: "You are a young boy? But you are capable enough? Did you kill the wild boar yourself?"
Li Laifu did not hide anything: "I don't have anything to hunt the wild boar. I dug a trap and caught it."
The old lady walked around the sack and said, "There are dozens of kilograms of meat in this sack, right? Has your family finished eating it?"
Director Zhang's eyes immediately lit up, and his expression was noticed by Li Laifu, who had been in society for more than 20 years.
"Grandma Liu, do you want it?" Li Laifu asked.
The old lady did not answer Li Laifu, but looked at Director Zhang. Director Zhang put the bicycle on his back and said, "Let's go into the house and talk!"
Li Laifu carried the bag and walked towards the courtyard. Everyone was at work and there was no one around. The key was that their courtyard was too small.
When I got home, there were only two younger brothers and a younger sister at home. Zhao Fang was not seen.
"Brother, you are back. Brother, what did you get?" the two younger brothers asked one after another.
Brother, please wait for a while, stay in the room and don't come out. I will go in later. After Li Laifu finished speaking, he closed the door to the room and put the pig's head on the chopping board. Director Zhang and the old lady also came in.
Without saying anything, Li Laifu picked up the kitchen knife on the chopping board and made two cuts in the fattest part of the pig's neck.
How come one piece weighs two kilograms? "Aunt Zhang doesn't want any money for you!"
"What are you kidding about? We are already very happy if you can evenly distribute the meat to us. How can we get it for nothing? We can't take advantage of the masses."
Old Mrs. Liu nodded hurriedly and said: "That's right! You can give us such fat meat. We can't buy it even if we queue up at the state-owned food station in the middle of the night. We are already very grateful that you can give us the meat. How can you not give it to us?" money?"
