Li Laifu was afraid that Zhao Fang would get excited again, so he quickly poked a piece of pumpkin with his chopsticks and said, "Brother, give me the first piece," Jiang Yuan ran back again.
"ah…."
"Get away, I'm your second brother." He was grabbed by Jiang Tao's collar and fell behind.
Jiang Yuan stood up and rubbed his butt. He was obviously used to following Jiang Tao. Zhao Fang took the bowl and caught the pumpkin handed by Li Laifu, took a deep breath and said, "This pumpkin smells sweet."
He picked up the basin next to him and put all the pumpkins into the basin. The two brats were already following behind with bowls in their hands. Zhao Fang was also sitting on the kang with a bowl in her hands. The little girl had climbed into her arms and spread her arms. Mouth eating.
"Laifu, you are really awesome. You will definitely become a high official in the future. You are so capable. Your aunt and I have never seen so much meat at home. These dozens of kilograms of meat are enough for us to eat for several years." ?" Zhao Fang fed him a mouthful, and Li Xiaohong took another mouthful, still mumbling.
"Mom, under our chopping board, there are pig intestines, pork liver, and pork belly that my eldest brother brought back. My second brother and I just ate a big bowl full of them. "How delicious...? Jiang Yuan said happily while eating the pumpkin.
Woohoo….
"Mom, your little son is a little fool. He was talking nonsense just now," Jiang Tao said, covering Jiang Yuan's mouth.
"He is a little fool, you are a big fool, Laifu, you just gave them a bowl of meat," Zhao Fang looked at Li Laifu.
yes!
"You kid? Why do you eat so much meat for the two of them? It makes me so sad." Zhao Fang stood up immediately, snatched the pumpkin bowl from Jiang Tao and Jiang Yuan's hand and said, "You have eaten so much meat? Stop eating it. Save your belly! Let’s have dinner tonight!”
"I knew you were a talkative little bastard," Jiang Tao scolded Jiang Yuan and even picked up the chopsticks and licked them.
Among the five people in the family, only Li Xiaohong was full, and everyone was half full, which was pretty good.
Zhao Fang brought in another big cloth bag from outside, threw it on the kang and said, "Xiao Tao, Xiao Yuan, you two will be busy making matchboxes this afternoon." He glanced at the kitchen and smiled. "
When Li Xiaohong saw the big bag on the kang, she must have experienced this kind of thing often. She immediately opened her little hands and shouted: "Big...brother, hug...hug, big brother, hug...hug."
Li Laifu walked to the kitchen with the little girl in his arms. Zhao Fang had already taken out a large piece of salt and was banging it on the chopping board.
Knock off each small piece and crush it with a knife. Is this it? In this era, both large-grained salt and fine salt were available, but you had to pay for them. Large-grained salt didn't require a ticket, and you could buy it casually. After all, it's not enough for people who don't eat salt.
"Auntie, you don't need to pickle that pig's head, right? Let's eat it tonight?" He knew that it was impossible to keep the fresh meat for eating, so he could only settle for the next best thing, hoping to save a pig's head, otherwise this would happen. Large grains of salted meat? No different from pickles.
Because in this day and age, cured meat is cured meat. Want to eat bacon? There is no door. How dare you hang bacon on your windows? Still there for more than half an hour? Consider your family lucky.
"How is that okay? There are still a lot of intestines, bellies, livers and hearts you brought back? Those are enough for our family to eat for a while, but we can't put this pig head away. If it is broken, it will be a sin? Okay, You don’t care about these things, go and sit in the house and rest, you must be tired after being out for the past few days, right?”
Li Laifu suddenly missed his grandma's house. After all, he had the final say in his grandparents' house.
never mind! It doesn't make sense to people of this era.
Getting ready to go to the toilet, "Auntie, I'm going to the toilet."
"Go, go! Zhao Fang didn't even raise her head, smearing salt on the meat and smiling all the time.
After going out, there was no one in sight. When I arrived in the alley, I walked towards the toilet. The public toilets in this era were like a train. There were a bunch of children defecating at the door. Li Laifu put Li Xiaohong next to the telephone pole. Tell me, don't move.
I walked quickly towards the toilet. A group of children were not ashamed. They all squatted facing the road without blushing or heartbeat. What? That calmness!
There was nothing I could do. Children as young as five or six did not dare to enter this toilet. The pit was two to three meters deep. If the child fell in, it would be too late to save him. He finally finished peeing while holding his breath. Fortunately, there were not many people at this time? If there is a queue in the morning.
I was wandering around with Li Xiaohong in my arms and walked towards the entrance of Nanluoguxiang alley. I took a look at the supply and marketing cooperative, especially when I saw cigarettes? My addiction to cigarettes started again. I had money in my pocket but I couldn't buy it. I didn't have a cigarette ticket, so I walked to the place where candy was sold. There were colorful candies in big glass bottles.
"Comrade, do you need a ticket for this candy bar?" Li Laifu shouted to the counter.
A woman wearing a white hat, dark blue overalls, and floral sleeves came over the counter.
"Toffees are required for milk candies, but no votes for candy bars. They cost 10 cents each."
A penny candy the size of your finger these days? It's really not cheap.
He took out a dime from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "Just bring me ten hard candies."
The salesperson picked up the yellow paper cut under the candy bottle, folded it into a cylinder and took ten pieces of candy inside.
Li Laifu took a piece and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth. He also ate a piece and the little girl hugged his neck happily.
"Brother...brother, sweet...sweet."
"It tastes good if it's sweet. You can't talk."
"Um."
After sitting at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative for a while, people kept buying cigarettes. Li Laifu asked the little girl to stand for a while, then quickly walked to the alley next to him, took out four birds from the space, and threw three of them on the ground. Playing with one.
As soon as I put it down, people gathered around me. Finally, someone opened his mouth and asked, "Boy, do you want to sell your bird?"
Li Laifu rolled his eyes and said, "How brave I am to sell things on the road."
"If you don't sell it, why are you keeping it here?" That man was also a scumbag and talked a lot.
"I'm waiting for someone here, why should I hang a bird around my neck?" Li Laifu said plausibly.
I heard that instead of selling things, these people were let go, and the crowd dispersed.
"Brother...brother, no, sugar...no," the little girl said, opening her mouth and sticking out her tongue.
I opened the paper bag and gave the little girl another piece to eat, but she was so beautiful.
Suddenly there was a smell of smoke, "Boy, just tell the truth, you little bird? What do you want to do?"
This person is only in his 40s. Li Laifu is not afraid of changing things. At this age? As long as it is not done openly and separated from the people? Basically no one cares about you. When is human nature really bad? After "The Wind Rises", it caused trouble to everyone. It is common for any son to report his father and mother, and to draw a clear line between him and his father and mother, these are all basic operations.
"Exchange cigarette tickets?"
"Fuck, you told me earlier! What kind of cigarette ticket do you want to exchange for?"
Li Laifu was stunned for a moment and asked: "What kind of cigarette tickets are there?
