The old lady rarely refuted his words and said, "Grandson, can't you say that?"
The old lady felt that what she said about her grandson was too harsh, so she whispered to Li Laifu: "My eldest grandson can't talk about this thing, this thing."
Li Laifu nodded obediently and said, "Okay grandma, I won't say anything anymore."
Knowing that these things are firmly believed in the hearts of the older generation, there is no need for him to disappoint the old people. He talks about believing in science and opposing feudal superstition. Damn it, he has traveled through time, and he still has the nerve to say this?
Is that the dead guy? Lai Gen, we are still the same generation as him.
Li Laifu took a breath and thought? Lai Gen... Lai Gen... Why does it seem so familiar?
"Grandson, do you want chicken for lunch? Grandma will cook it for you," the old lady asked when she saw that Li Laifu was silent.
Li Laifu no longer hesitated and said: "Grandma, I see that all the children in the village are malnourished, and some have bulging bellies. If it is more serious, they will not survive. Our family is not short of meat. I want to take these two Take the chicken down and stew some soup for the children to eat."
The old lady was stunned for a moment and said: "Sowing good karma will reap good results. This is a good thing and will bring blessings to our family. Grandma supports you.
Under the watch of the old lady, Li Laifu walked down the mountain carrying two chickens.
In this era, children who are scared will use this trick. Every village has an old lady like this. Basically, they live a long time or are not afraid of anything.
Li Laifu walked down the mountain and went directly to the brigade canteen. When he entered, there was a smell of pig food. Two large pots were boiling pig food. Five or six women stood beside the big pots, stirring the food with shovels.
He really couldn't name these women. "Uncle Laifu, why are you here?" asked a woman holding a shovel in her hand and stirring the bottom of the pot.
Li Laifu asked in an elder's tone: "Whose family do you belong to?"
The woman answered seriously: "Uncle Laifu, I'm from the Shovel family."
Li Laifu nodded and said, "Oh! Are you Shovel's wife?" He remembered that Shovel was frightened by her yesterday and would rather live in a shack than go home.
"Yes, Uncle Laifu,"
Several women also said: I am from the Tiezhu family, I am from the Tiechui family...
Li Laifu finished pretending to be an elder and asked: "Does our village canteen still have pots?"
"Uncle Laifu, these are the only big pots in our village."
Li Laifu nodded as expected. It had only been a year or two since the great steel-making, and every household might not have a pot. It would be good to have two in the village. He said: "Shovel Wife, give me a big pot to clean." Now, I have two pheasants here to stew some soup for the children in our village."
Several women were stunned, thinking that Li Laifu was here to hang out. When they looked in the direction of Li Laifu's finger, they saw two pheasants at the door. This was beyond their expectation.
The shovel wife was the first to come to her senses and shouted: "My pot of pig food is ready. Uncle Laifu, please wait for a while. We will clean the pot for you after we finish feeding the pigs."
Li Laifu really admired these women. Two large wooden barrels and one shoulder pole weighed at least more than 100 kilograms in two barrels of pig feed. These women picked it up easily. They were still women. Those men could pick it up as long as the poles continued. .
Li Laifu was not idle either. He took a clay pot and filled it with some water. He also picked up some firewood in the stove and took it out. He took wild eggs in his schoolbag and put the eggs into the clay pot. Add some salt and throw all the baby birds in the schoolbag next to the pheasant. He is not going to clean it up. Let's wait until these women are done with it!
A few women picked up all the pig food after two trips. Some of the women washed the pots and some cleaned the pheasants.
These women are really nimble with their hands and feet. They pulled the two chickens together and cleaned them up in a while.
The shovel's wife asked tentatively: "Uncle Laifu, do you want these two chickens to be stewed?"
"Of course, or can I get them? Chop them all up and still have those birds."
"Okay! Come to Uncle Fu."
Li Laifu stood at the door, smoking a cigarette, and several women whispered to each other, but they all said good things.
There were two chickens, a male and a female, and there happened to be a piece of oil on the hen's butt. Li Laifu wanted to look at it but was not ready to reach out. Who knew that these women actually divided a piece of chicken butt oil into three parts and planned to keep it?
Li Laifu stepped forward and said, "Get away, I won't use you anymore."
Throw the oil directly into the pot to squeeze out the oil, then put the chicken and bird meat into the pot and continue to stir-fry. This spatula is also the same one used to fry the pig food just now, but it has been washed.
This big pot can be used to bathe three or four children. Li Laifu put the shovel in and said, "Put in the water!" After saying this, he took a basin and prepared to fish out the bird eggs and wild eggs.
As soon as I squatted down, I heard a splash behind me! Turning around, he was startled. Two of the five women were holding buckets, two were holding basins, and one was holding a large shovel. They were adding water to the big pot. While adding water, they even rinsed away the grease on the shovel.
I had to wait for him to stand up and try to stop him. It was over. A large pot of water was filled. Two chickens weighed less than four pounds and filled a large pot of water. What was going on?
Shovel's wife asked: "Uncle Laifu, there are still oil flowers floating on top. How about adding water to the big pot next door?"
Li Laifu shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Go and call the children in the village!"
Several women came to the door, and Li Laifu shouted again: "Call the girls, too." The problem of favoring boys over girls in this era is still very serious. The most obvious thing is that the boys are always the ones who play at the entrance of the village, and the girls do it. Still alive.
This big pot weighs dozens of kilograms just with a wooden lid. After covering the chicken soup, take out the eggs from the earthen pot.
"Brother Laifu, I heard that you made chicken soup for the children," the village chief Li Laoliu came in.
"Yes, I went up the mountain today and picked up a lot of eggs and two pheasants. I saw that the children in the village were sallow and lacked nutrition, so I simply made chicken soup for them."
Li Laoliu said with emotion: "Brother, you are a good person."
Li Laifu said shamelessly: "You said this...I won't be stubborn with you."
Li Laoliu was left speechless. How could he answer this? Li Laifu wants to be polite, how can he continue to praise him, but be so rude? How do you answer the call?
Li Laoliu held it in for a long time and said, "That's right, you can't defeat me."
Li Laifu said seriously: "I never thought about being stubborn with you. After all, you are my brother."
Ahem,
Li Laifu waited for a long time, but Li Laoliu stopped talking. His eyes changed when he looked at Li Laoliu, with contempt in his eyes. The village chief couldn't finish two sentences, so why don't you continue to praise him?
"Uncle Laifu, the children have been called for you," the shovel wife came in and said.
Looking at the children lined up according to size, Li Laifu was not waiting for Li Laoliu to praise him.
Holding a basin, they handed out wild eggs. The younger ones were given one wild egg, and the older ones were given two eggs.
