Director Zhang took out a handkerchief from his pocket, took out four dollars and put it on the chopping board. "No matter how much it is, that's it. You are not allowed to refuse," she added. She had already seen that this child was not easy to talk and do things.
"Aunt Zhang, you gave me too much. The food station only has 65 cents per pound of meat."
"As much as you want, you stupid boy doesn't know the prices outside. The price of meat at the food station is 65 cents per pound, but he can't sell meat even once a month."
Old Mrs. Liu did not hesitate to take out a handkerchief from her pocket, and the money he gave her became more lively. She counted a pile of cents two or three times before placing it on the chopping board.
The two picked up the meat cult with smiles, and Director Zhang asked again: "Little Laifu, do you often go hunting? Don't you go to school?"
"I'm already in the second grade of junior high school, but there are no people in the school now, so it doesn't matter whether I get in or not."
Director Zhang sighed and said, "That's right. Teachers are so hungry now that they have no energy. How can they have the time to teach students?"
Old Mrs. Liu answered and said: "That's not true. Teachers are not strong workers. The monthly ration is only 18 kilograms of grain. Who can eat enough?"
Director Zhang nodded and said: "Then let's go, Xiao Laifu. If you want to find something in the future, you can come to me on the street."
"Okay, Aunt Zhang, then walk slowly."
After the two left, Li Laifu first took out the large intestine, pork liver, and pork belly from the sack, took out a big bowl, cut a full bowl, and then took out two cut pumpkins from the space. .
"What are you doing, mother?" Li Laifu opened the door and asked.
"Brother, what did you get?" Jiang Yuan asked.
Even Li Xiaohong, who was playing by himself on the kang, crawled over and said, "Big... brother wants to eat, big brother... brother wants to eat."
"You two go wash your hands," Li Laifu said, holding his sister in his arms and giving her a piece of sausage to put in her mouth.
"Brother, my hands are not dirty," Jiang Yuan had already stretched his hand into the bowl, and Jiang Tao didn't move.
Li Laifu rolled his eyes and said, "I don't care whether you two are dirty or not. If you don't wash them, you are not allowed to eat."
"Big... brother, the meat... the meat is delicious."
The little sister's words excited the two brothers so much that they crowded together when they reached the door.
The little girl grabbed the large intestine with both hands, bit it and pulled hard.
When he took a bite, it tasted salty and slightly meaty.
He has eaten a bit too much meat in the past two days, and his mouth has become a bit picky. Two days ago, he stuffed meat into his mouth when he saw it, but now he is picky about what he eats.
"Sister, we won't eat large intestines anymore," this little girl is having too much trouble eating large intestines. These days, whether she is cooking meat or large intestines, they are all medium rare and must not be overcooked.
I took a piece of pig liver and finally replaced the large intestine. Pork liver? Can the little girl still bite those little teeth?
Brother, we have finished washing. Jiang Tao said that he has already stretched out his hands until the evening.
I don’t blame the two boys for grabbing the meat, even adults can’t help it these days! Before the Chinese New Year, which family is willing to take out their meat tickets to buy meat?
A family can only save two pounds and four ounces a year! We are all preparing to make dumplings for the Chinese New Year.
"Brother, the meat you got at my grandparents' house is so delicious!" Jiang Tao asked.
"You can just eat it. Why are you asking so much? Leave two pieces of pork liver for your sister. By the way, you haven't told me where my aunt has gone?"
"My mother went to the street to collect matchboxes. This month it's our turn."
Li Laifu thought for a while, and it is true that every time the matchboxes are distributed in the street, each household takes turns giving out 500 and 50 cents each time. It is not like other novels that specifically look for needy families. These days, it is possible to live in a compound. , whose family is not in difficulty, even working-class families have a lot of children, and the streets have no choice but to give each family a meal in turn. If you dare to give it to one family? That's great, if the whole family joins the battle, even if you have 100,000 matchboxes, he can quickly paste them up for you.
Seeing that it was almost noon, I went directly to the kitchen to cut a big pumpkin, put the tic-tac-shaped pot curtain on the big pot, and placed the pumpkin on top to steam.
Putting the pig head on the chopping board, he also took out 30 kilograms of meat. He directly found a basin to put the sausages and other things in. When he returned to the house, there were only a few slices of pork liver left in the big bowl. The meat had been eaten by the two boys. Finished.
Li Xiaohong sat on the kang holding a big bowl and kept eating, with food all over her face.
"Brother, is there any meat left? I can still eat it," Jiang Yuan asked.
"There's still meat, but we have to wait until Auntie comes back to eat together. You all should be honest with me."
Both boys looked into Li Xiaohong's bowl.
Li Xiaohong wasn't stupid, she just held the big bowl in her arms, making Li Laifu just want to laugh. The little girl who was not even three years old was so naughty.
Bang!
The door was opened, "Xiao Tao, Xiao Yuan, your sister isn't crying, is she?"
Then there was a cry: "Oh my God?"
"Mom, what are you calling?" Jiang Yuan ran out of the door and asked
"Xiaoyuan? Look at the chopping board. Is there a pig's head?" Zhao Fang asked with an uncertain tone.
"Forget it, I won't ask you anymore, it must be a dream." He reached out and grabbed Jiang Yuan's ear, pulled it hard and asked him: "Xiao Yuan, do you feel any pain?"
"It hurts, it really hurts!"
"Auntie, are you sure she is Xiaoyuan's biological mother?" He could see that Jiang Yuan's face was deformed in pain.
"Oh, Laifu? When did you come back?"
"Auntie, please let go of your hands." After a while, Xiaoyuan's ears were pulled off by you.
"Mom!"
"You damn kid, why are you putting your ears in my hand? Get away."
Then he pushed Jiang Yuan's head and asked Li Laifu, "Laifu? What's going on with the meat on the chopping board?"
Li Laifu looked at the incoherent Zhao Fang and smiled and said: "Auntie, this is a wild boar I caught digging a trap in the mountains behind our hometown. I gave some to others, and I brought the rest back."
Zhao Fang still didn't believe it and said: "So, the chopping board...is really a pig's head? I'm not dazzled."
Before Li Laifu could do anything, Zhao Fang wowed...wuwu..., hugged the pig's head on the chopping board, and cried so sadly?
Suddenly he put the pig's head on the chopping board again, ran over and hugged Li Laifu in his arms, crying: "Good... Laifu, good Laifu, my Laifu is really capable."
"Aunt Zhao, please wait a moment, the pumpkin in the pot is... almost ready."
A woman's tears are really powerful, they come and go when they say they come! Zhao Fang immediately stopped crying and asked, "What pumpkin?"
Li Laifu walked to the cauldron and opened the lid! A golden pumpkin, "Brother, when did you steam it? Is this pumpkin sweet?" Jiang Yuan's ears no longer hurt, he squeezed Zhao Fang away and rushed to the pot.
ah….
Zhao Fang grabbed her youngest son's hair and threw it back, hitting the second door with a bang.
"Where did this pumpkin from Laifu come from?"
"I traded the meat with someone else on the way back, but he took away the pumpkin seeds," Li Laifu lied without blinking.
