Poor family mother and son

Chapter 68 The Campfire Party ([-])

Today is New Year's Eve.Chu Qing decided to hold a bonfire party.She has traveled here for more than eight months, and no matter how unwilling she is, she will never go back.

Life goes on.If you can live happily, don't embarrass yourself.It's too lonely to live with Xiaobao.Chu Qing announced that more than 200 people will live together this year!

Previously, New Year gifts were sent to all the prefectures, and all the prefectures returned the gifts.The return gifts have one thing in common: they all have beef!These are real people!Chu Qing couldn't get beef.Veteran cadre Huang Zhong returned to Beijing long ago.Before leaving, he told Song Tingshan to give Chu Qing a new year gift for him, nothing else, just beef!

In addition to beef, mutton and pheasant, there are also fish, fruits, and snacks, and each family also sent a lot.All are affordable gifts.So much meat, of course you have to eat it!Chu Qing also bought five packed pigs from the village butcher.Ask Chu Yuan to bring back two tanks of wine from the city.We have a lot of people, so we don't buy small altars.

In the afternoon, Chu Qing led more than 200 people to make dumplings collectively.This group of young men, even Lao Yu and Zhao are also young men in Chu Qing's eyes, they are about the same age as Chu Qing, and now they are single, so they are young men!These guys, big and small, do all the housework well.

This is true, whether modern or ancient, soldiers are omnipotent. More than 200 soldiers collectively made dumplings, that scene!Dumplings are spread all over the floor. It's cold and quick-frozen!

It was already dark at this time, Chu Qing asked them to build a shed in the yard.What we have are bricks, surrounded by bricks, with oilcloth as a roof, and leaving a seam to let the smoke through.

Then a bonfire was lit in the center of the shed.Surrounded by a small fire.Bring all kinds of cut meat, including fish, into thick slices, as well as vegetables, garlic, steamed buns, pancakes, bean cakes... as well as fruits and snacks.There is also a large number of iron sticks on the shelf.We can now buy ore.

"I said, when you have money, I invite you to eat kebabs!" Chu Qing said to everyone: "Eat! Just enough!" The cheers of more than 200 people sounded, and the dogs in the village far away joined in the fun.Some of the twenty servants and long-term workers wiped their tears, remembering the days when Chu Qing and Xiaobao accompanied them to eat skewers.

"Old Zhao, assign some people to make skewers, and the rest follow my command..." Chu Qing ordered.Xiao Bao was sitting between Lao Yu and Lao Zhao, holding snacks.

"Let's play games, Xiaobao. Stand here with a stick in your hand. When Mother says start, you close your eyes and turn around. If Mother says stop, you stop. Whoever the sign points to will perform a show!" Chu Chu Qing brought over the set of military training.

"Boss, what is a show?" Someone shouted.

"It's like a theater stage, perform something, such as singing a song, or doing boxing, whatever, but it doesn't count if everyone doesn't laugh!" Chu Qing couldn't explain the "show".I was asked out of the blue, I can't do it anymore.

When it started, Xiaobao muttered: "I'm confused, I'm lost, I won't eat!" When Chu Qing shouted to stop, the stick pointed to Chu Yuan.

Xiao Bao must have done it on purpose.Chu Qing could see Xiaobao squinting his eyes to find a place while turning around.Chu Yuan scratched the back of his head and stood up: "Then what, I don't know anything, how about I tell you a story?"

"Row!"

"Anything is fine!" Everyone below echoed.

"Well, let me tell you a story! There used to be a mountain, and there was a temple on the mountain, and there was an old Taoist in the temple, tell me a story, what are you talking about? There was a mountain..."

"Cut! No, no, no! It doesn't count!" Everyone laughed.Xiaobao asked: "Why are the old Taoists in the temple?"

"Because Chu Yuan is that monk!" Old Zhao answered.

coax!Everyone laughed.

These more than 200 people are really versatile, and Chu Qing found that everyone has unique skills.Take Zhuo Yao for example, he can throw five bricks in rotation at the same time, just like throwing wooden sticks in a circus show.

The worst ones are the ten long-term workers. They have no unique skills, but some people can carve turnips into landscape paintings with a kitchen knife.

Old Zhao also showed his hand: darts!Old Zhao was not willing to use his darts, but he was willing to use bricks.Someone arranged a circle of bricks and broke the iron stick into two pieces for darts.Swish it out, it deviates from the bull's-eye of the painting, but it plunges into the brick a lot!

This is not a small difficulty, the center of gravity of the half iron stick is not the pointed end, and it can still throw such a good result, but if this old Zhao uses darts, he will have to point where to hit it?
Chu Qing's eyes lit up, this must be learned!Xiaobao's eyes also lit up, and he immediately entangled Lao Zhao.

After a batch of meat skewers were skewered, they were roasted on a small fire, and a whole lamb was roasted on the shelf above the campfire.Zhang Mingyu got a lot of cumin from Dong Lun, and Chu Qing ground it into powder and used it.

Xiaobao handed a string of beef skewers to Old Yu's mouth, and Old Yu was brushing honey on the roast lamb.Madam Hong sent someone to give this precious thing, just a can, Chu Qing didn't feel bad at all.

What Chu Yuan brought to Bai Jiaxing at the moment was grilled pork skewers.Chu Qing refused to let Bai Jiaxing go to the ground, so everyone used a stretcher to carry Bai Jiaxing out.For Chinese New Year, there is no shortage of one.

Baijiaxing has put a lot of food here.The long-term workers are very grateful to Bai Jiaxing. If it weren't for him, they might not be able to come back.So at this moment, even the chicken soup has a special person to bring it over.The long-term workers grilled skewers on a small fire, stewed chicken in crock pots, stewed butchered pigs in iron pots, served them bowl by bowl, and returned them to the pot to heat them up when they were cold.

Holding a bowl of wine, Chu Yuan touched Bai Jiaxing's chicken soup bowl: "Brother, good luck!" Bai Jiaxing looked at his wine bowl and licked his lips: "Give me a sip, just taste it!"

"Don't even think about it, you're so hungry! Go drink your chicken soup!"

"Just one bite!"

"Zi... Oh, this wine, good wine!" Chu Yuan smacked his lips loudly.

Bai Jiaxing took a sip of chicken soup: "Hiss...the soup in the world! How about a sip to prolong life? Let's change it?"

Two bites of wine, one bite of meat, one bite of soup and one bite of baked bean cakes, it is enjoyable to eat.As I eat, I recall bitterness and sweetness.Chu Yuan said: "If you hadn't offered to help me at the beginning, I wouldn't have dared to go out to work. Without you, I would have to hide and have nothing to eat."

Bai Jiaxing recalled the past, and said, "You said that you were so wary back then that you could fry an egg with your burnt forehead, and you didn't let me come close to apply a cold kerchief to you. You even stabbed me with a chopstick."

"At that time, I was afraid that someone would recognize me. There were arrest warrants and portraits everywhere."

"What are you afraid of! That's not like you!"

"Why don't they look like it? Those eyes are painted like mine!"

"Whoever said that, whoever's eyes are not so painted, they have the same shape when they draw them! Don't you see that? Later, I took you to find a job every day, who recognized you?"

"That's right. We wouldn't be able to survive without you."

"My little life was saved by people from a village, but they had an accident, and I didn't help any of them..." Bai Jiaxing's eyes filled with tears.

"I just thought, I have to remember this kindness for the rest of my life, and I want to distribute this kindness to those in need. My life belongs to the people of this village, and I have to live for them! If you can help the suffering people, then I will help them!"

"Back when you signed a death contract with the boss, I hesitated. It's not that you can't trust the boss, but because I thought that my life belongs to the whole village, so I can't just sell it. But, in this avalanche, the boss tried his best to save me. Tell me, what is she drawing? What can she draw us? What can we ask others to draw?"

"I gave up at the time, but the boss didn't give up, so I thought, I can't let her die inside, I have to get her out with my last breath!"

"Brother, do you know, the boss won't let me go! She just insisted on it. She said what I said was fart, and I had to wait for rescue. She said..." Bai Jiaxing's tears came down, and his voice was choked:

"She said that my surname represents the kindness of human beings. She said that there is no such surname in the world, and she wants me to pass it down from generation to generation!"

Chu Yuan also shed tears when he heard it, and both of them were silent.

"So, I thought about signing a death contract with the boss. Not now, I can only lie down and do nothing. When I recover, I will go to the boss and sign a death contract! The last name is mine, but My life, from now on, belongs to the boss!" Bai Jiaxing said, wiping away his tears.
