Beijing. The old house of the Zhou family!
When Zhou Yang's family returned to their old house, it was exactly 12 noon.
The reason why I came back so early today was mainly because I left earlier.
Knowing that it is hotter after 11 a.m. and before 4 p.m., Zhou Yang and others got up before 5 a.m. and followed the educated youth who went to work. They had a simple meal and loaded the things they needed to carry into the car. Then left Babaoliang Village.
So it was also a 6-hour drive, but we came back just after noon today!
At this time, the door of the Zhou family's old house was closed, but the outside was unlocked. It was obvious that someone was at home.
Zhou Yang reached out and pushed the courtyard door, and found that the door opened with a slight push.
At that moment, he asked Li Youwei and Li Qian to take the children in first, while he, Chen Beixuan, Liu Yunlong and others unloaded things from the car.
While several people were busy, they saw their father Zhou Yawen and mother Ye Lifang hurriedly walked out of the house, and then strode to the gate.
Zhou Yang also saw his parents and said hello while moving things: "Dad, Mom!"
Zhou Yawen, who was not good at words, nodded, said "hmm" softly, and then stepped forward to help.
But they were stopped by Chen Beixuan and Liu Yunlong, saying that they could just leave this matter to them. They didn't dare to let the chief's father help with the work.
Mother Ye Lifang looked at the packed military trucks in front of her and asked with some surprise: "Xiao Yang, what are you and Xiao Wei doing? Why are you bringing so many things? People who don't know." I thought you were moving!"
Zhou Yang smiled and said: "Isn't this a move? We have brought all the food from home!"
"Ah, what are you doing? Is there a shortage of food like yours at home? Besides, why do you want to stop eating?" Ye Lifang frowned.
"Haha, Mom, it's the end of August now, and the autumn harvest will begin in the village in less than half a month. New grain will be distributed by then. The old grain must be disposed of to make room for the new grain!" Zhou Yang road.
Of course, this is just Zhou Yang's rhetoric.
His house has so many houses that he can't even put in this small amount of food.
The real reason is that he wants his parents, brother-in-law, and his wife and children to live a better life here in the capital.
Of course, it is also true to make room for new grain.
Since Li Youwei and the children spent most of their time in the capital in the first half of this year, while Zhou Yang and Lao Zhang mostly dealt with matters at work, and they did not cook a few meals in total, the result was that there was still much left over from the food distributed last year. many.
Therefore, together with Li Youwei, they decided to send all the food to the capital, so that the family would not have to spend money and food stamps to buy food supplies in the city.
She knew her son better than her mother, so how could Ye Lifang not know what kind of person her son was.
After she glared at Zhou Yang, she said again: "There's no need to bring everyone here..."
"Haha, if I don't bring it back to you, I will have to give it away!"
"Giving it away?"
Zhou Yang smiled and said nothing. He was indeed not talking nonsense about giving away food.
When he was cleaning the cellar two days ago, he indeed gave more than a thousand kilograms of wilted and budded yam eggs to the new family members of the institute.
Although some people say that potatoes with sprouts are poisonous and should not be eaten, who in the village has not eaten potatoes with sprouts?
After all, after the villagers distributed the yam eggs, they stored them all in the cellar. This storage could take as little as three or two months or as long as a year, which might not produce buds.
What should I do if there are sprouts?
In the age of abundant materials, it is natural to throw them away. After all, is it poisonous? Life and health are more important than anything else.
But in this day and age, most people can't even afford food and clothing, so they only waste food if they are stupid.
What most people in the village do is to first break off the buds that grow on the potatoes, and then peel off the buds when peeling them, so that they will not be poisoned.
Zhou Yawen knew his son's character and had brought everything over, so it was useless to talk about it.
He immediately said to his wife: "Go back to the house and watch the children, and let Tana and Xiaowei cook!"
"OK..."
Seeing his mother about to go back to the house, Zhou Yang immediately said: "Mom, wait a moment!"
With that said, Zhou Yang asked Chen Beixuan in the car to bring down several enamel basins. When they saw several basins full of meat, Ye Lifang and Zhou Yawen were both shocked.
"Mom, here are 30 kilograms of pork, half a sheep, and 3 chickens. Take it in and let Xiaowei and my sister-in-law take care of the arrangements!"
"OK!"
Later, Ye Lifang called her men to come over to help, and then walked into the yard carrying these pots of meat.
Zhou Yang, Chen Beixuan, Liu Yunlong and others continued to move things.
He brought a lot of things when he came back this time. In addition to food, he also brought various vegetables including cucumbers, eggplants, beans, and cabbage, as well as some fruits including watermelons, cantaloupes, and pears.
As for the local specialties of Babaoliang Village, in addition to the freshly killed pork, mutton and large roosters that were just unloaded, they also brought bacon and pickled pork, air-dried mutton, air-dried chicken and eggs.
After all, the temperature is still relatively high right now, and it is difficult to preserve fresh meat, so Zhou Yang didn't bring much, and those who were patient enough to preserve it brought more.
In the city, these are all good things that require money and tickets to buy, but in the village there is no such trouble.
The vegetables are all grown by myself or at my father-in-law’s house, and the fruits are given by Lao Li. As for the meat, eggs, and so on, you only need to spend a little money to solve them.
Zhou Yang now earns four or five salaries by himself and has no other expenses. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with spending some money to improve the living conditions of his family.
Because there were too many things, several people worked for nearly an hour before moving everything into the old house.
They have just finished their work here and lunch is ready.
A few people simply washed their hands and then returned to the house to eat!
Lunch was very sumptuous, including braised pork with potatoes, mutton with eggplant, stir-fried beans with meat, stir-fried cabbage, scrambled eggs, cucumbers, and a pork rib soup.
The staple food is rice, which is simple and not as time-consuming and labor-intensive as steaming steamed buns.
Since everyone is really hungry today, and the lunch is so sumptuous, this meal is like a vigorous and vigorous meal...
After finishing the meal and clearing up the dining area, several people sat in the living room for a while, and then Li Youwei proposed to go back to the family hospital of the medical school to have a look.
Zhou Yang knew that going home was the second priority. Li Youwei wanted to send Li Qian and Liu Yunlong there first.
After all, this is not the new house. The couple is somewhat restrained in the old house.
Zhou Yang naturally had no objection, and then said hello to his parents and drove away from home!
The car drove in the city for more than half an hour and finally arrived at the family courtyard of the medical school.
Opening the courtyard door, Li Youwei, Li Qian, Huang Rufeng, and Li Haiyan were all struck by the sight of the courtyard.
Although I haven't been back for a month and a half, the yard is not as dilapidated as expected. On the contrary, because there are fewer people to disturb me, the flowers and plants in the yard are growing particularly lush.
Especially the flowers, which are so colorful and colorful, make people feel good when they see them.
Moreover, the yard is also very clean, and the house does not feel damp. It must be that my mother and sister-in-law often come here to ventilate it.
While the women were cleaning up the house, Zhou Yang and Chen Beixuan knocked on the door of Liu Jimin's house carrying some fruits and vegetables.
Liu Jimin happened to be at home. When he heard the knock on the door, he immediately put on his reading glasses and walked over!
"Who?"
"Mr. Liu, it's me, Zhou Yang!"
Hearing the sound, Liu Jimin immediately opened the door.
After seeing Zhou Yang, Mr. Liu immediately smiled and said: "You are really a boy, come in quickly!"
Zhou Yang was not polite and walked in immediately with a gift.
"Come here, kid. What else do you have to bring?"
"Haha, it's nothing. They're just eggplants and beans grown in my own yard. They're not worth buying, but they're all picked in the morning!" Zhou Yang said.
"Hahaha, then my old man will shamelessly accept it!"
Then Liu Jimin looked at Zhou Yang and said with emotion: "It's great to be young. After seeing you, I really feel a little old!"
"What makes you always feel so emotional?" Zhou Yang said with a smile.
Liu Jimin smiled and said, "Did you know that you are about to be promoted?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yang was stunned!
He is about to be promoted, why doesn’t he know about this?
