The Rebirth of the Rain Pillar of the Siheyuan

Chapter 32 Xu "Chrysalis"

He Yuzhu left the Chen family amidst Aunt Chen's gratitude.

A pig's head and a pair of goods made Aunt Chen feel that his wife's year-end friendship is really worth visiting.

X District Government Canteen
Fleeing in panic under the scolding of his uncle, He Yuzhu was full of resentment, just take a look, I will give you a gift, and you still scold others, isn't it just a pig's head!It's not something expensive.

Look at this man!You can't just float away when you have money. What is a pair of goods?A pair of goods can contain a lot, heart, liver, stomach, lungs, intestines, and finally two kidneys, these things ordinary workers can't eat for a year, not to mention a big pig's head!

He Yuzhu was very angry and wronged, and wished he could be "stubborn" in the government compound.

The classic car was almost kicked off by him, and as soon as he returned to the courtyard, several aunts came to ask where He Yuzhu bought the pig's head.

He Yuzhu said to the stingy aunts,
"There is a meat joint factory, I know people there!"

The aunts were overwhelmed with surprise, and the three of them were the most active, asking immediately,

"Silly Zhu, do you think I can buy one for my aunt?"

The aunts nodded their heads quickly, and He Yuzhu couldn't help laughing,
"Yes! Fifty cents a catty, a catty of meat tickets is worth two catties of pig's head."

All the aunts were dumbfounded, fifty cents a catty?Is a catty of meat worth two catties?

"Bah", the pork from the supply and marketing cooperative is only [-] cents a catty. Whoever buys such an expensive pig's head is a fool!
The aunts stopped their flags and drums, and retreated one after another, and only the third aunt ran the fastest.

He Yuzhu went back to the house with a suppressed laugh and closed the door, lying on the kang and laughing loudly. The deaf old lady lived next door, and hearing He Yuzhu's laughter made her think again.

He Yuzhu rolled up his arms and sleeves, and washed the pig's head with a brush in the pool in the courtyard.

Wash it cleanly, and split it in half with an axe. This is a technical job. The left hand must be steady, and the right hand must be ruthless. After aiming, he shouted "I'll kill you!" Half.

Light up the large stove in the kitchen, and one pot can just cook a pig's head. Stir-fry sugar, green onion, ginger, garlic, dried chili, star anise pepper, cinnamon, fragrant leaves and cumin, and stir-fry the pig's head under cold water. Slowly skim off the blood foam, cover the pot and simmer over medium heat, wait for three hours, then the bones will be peeled off and the meat will be rotten, wrap it in layers of burlap, put a heavy object on it and press it overnight, the next day the food will be formed, and it can be sliced ​​and served cold , can also be sliced ​​for dipping, the best thing is to cut into large pieces and bite directly.

After coming out of the toilet, He Yuzhu met Qin Huairu washing clothes in the sink, judging from this posture, it must be Jia Zhang's bullying Qin Huairu again.There is no one in the whole courtyard to wash clothes outside in winter.

He Yuzhu walked over, coughed, and said to Qin Huairu,
"Sister-in-law, how cold it must be to wash clothes outside!"

Qin Huairu was still washing her clothes in silence, He Yuzhu walked over and said,
"Could it be that your wicked mother-in-law is bullying you again? No, you can go to my house to wash it. My house is warmed by a kang, and my pig's head is about to heal. Go over and eat some while it's warm."

At this time, on the window of Jia's house, there was a big face staring at Qin Huairu.

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Qin Huairu said tearfully,

"Silly Zhu, sister-in-law, thank you! You don't need to go to your house. Is there just one thing that sister-in-law wants to ask of you?"

He Yuzhu looked at Jia's window, stuck out his tongue and made a face,
Qin Huairu smiled "puhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" and He Yuzhu saw her pear blossoms weeping with rain, and his dantian was about to move.

Mrs. Jia Zhang had already come out, and stood at the door staring at the two of them.

He Yuzhu stuck out his tongue at Jia Zhang, and responded to Qin Huairu,

"Sister-in-law, tell me, what's the matter?"

Seeing silly Zhu teasing her mother-in-law, Qin Huairu didn't respond, resentment said to He Yuzhu,

"I want some pork head meat for BangGou. My mother-in-law ate all the goods you gave me last time. BangGou didn't eat a few pieces at all."

Hearing this, He Yuzhu immediately lost his teasing mood.

Thinking of Qin Huairu in her previous life, she lived for her children all her life. From the standpoint of a mother, she is undoubtedly great. No matter how many people she cheated, for her three children, this mother is qualified and great. of.

He Yuzhu turned around and walked back. You are a great mother, and I am also great. I am a great big fool.

"Understood sister-in-law, Brother Jia asked him to come and get it after get off work."

Hearing Qin Huairu's nauseating and retching voice behind him, is this pregnant?
Seeing He Yuzhu go back to the house and close the door, Qin Huairu continued to remain silent, rubbing and washing the clothes with his red and swollen hands.

"boom"

There was a sound of closing the door of Jia's house, and Qin Huairu burst into tears.

Jiazhang went back to the room and took out a small paper man from under the bed, put it on the ground and beat it with the sole of his shoe, cursing,
"If I beat you, you stupid pillar, you will die! If I beat you, you won't give me a pig's head, and you will die sooner or later! If you dare to hit me if I beat you, you will be shot and die sooner or later!"

The sky is finely fluttering with snow particles, and the cold winter is approaching.

~~~

January 1, Monday, New Year's Day

When I woke up in the morning, the sky was still snowing, but it changed from snow particles to snowflakes.

Yushui's practice of staying in bed was finally defeated by his brother's cool hand trick.

He Yuzhu took the finished pig's head and pressed meat, and brought his sister to Uncle Li's house.

Aunt Li looked at the pressed meat in surprise,

"The pig's head on the pillar is too good. This is not good for the building. The kitchen is small, and there is no room for the pig's head."

The rain pulled Aunt Li, and said to Aunt Li quite formally,
"Godmother, tell me what food you want to eat, and I'll ask my brother to make it for you! He's a cook, and he cooks it delicious!"

Aunt Li laughed loudly, the forehead-to-forehead intimacy between the two mothers, He Yuzhu saw it, and he became superfluous again.

"Uncle Li is also true, even during this big festival, he will not rest!"

Turning around, He Yuzhu complained.

"The Ministry is divided into New Year's goods today. You, Uncle Li, are the main personnel, so you don't have to show off! You sit on the pillar, and drink water by yourself. I will call you Uncle Li to confirm the time when he will come back, so we can have dinner. "

A clear and loud call ended, and Aunt Li came out of the study and said,

"Your Uncle Li said that you have [-] catties of apples in the department, and I will ask you to pick them up after New Year's Day."

He nodded to show that he understood. When Aunt Li was on the phone, He Yuzhu remembered the matter of Apple. At that time, he only cared about Shunyu. It is estimated that Apple’s money was also paid in advance by the Ministry. We do not take advantage of the country.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, He Yuzhu left alone.

snow stopped

Walking in the foot-deep snow was extremely strenuous, and the few people on the bus looked out of the window.

The streets, roofs, and courtyard walls were covered with thick snow, and the whole world turned white, covering up all the filth, and finally covered it with red.

Back in the courtyard, everyone was clearing the snow. He Yuzhu hurried home, lit the stove, added water, put the remaining half of the pig's head in, and found tools to help remove the snow.

He Yuzhu filled the bamboo basket with snow, pulled the rope on the basket, pulled it out of the courtyard and piled it on both sides of the alley.

The radish heads in the yard were building a snowman against the wall. He Yuzhu saw that it was fun, so he went back to fetch the coals and carrots, fitted the snowman with noses and eyes, and won praise from the radish heads.

Seeing that the snow is almost cleared.

He Yuzhu led all the radish heads back home to divide the meat, pointing to the long-fingered strips of meat that were two fingers high, making the radish cheer and shout, and the parents came forward to express their gratitude when they saw the happy children!

Xu Damao looked at the stupid and generous He Yuzhu, and spat on the ground fiercely. He had no choice but to be greedy too!
Complained to Dad Xu,

"Dad, look at him, isn't he really stupid? He deserves to be called a fool. He doesn't eat good meat and gives it to these poor children. I think he is not only stupid, but also sick."

Xu's father swallowed, nodded in agreement, and felt that Da Mao was right, this idiot was not only stupid, but also sick.

"Brother Zhuzi, I'm here, do you need my help?"

Liu Guangtian came running with his younger brother Guangfu.

He Yuzhu felt a little sleepy after drinking, so he said to Guangtian,
"I'll sleep for a while. I'll show my brother how to light the fire. It will take three hours to cook. There is still some pork head in the cupboard. Share it with Guangfu!"

Guangtian and Guangfu brothers were overjoyed when they heard that there was pork head meat to eat.

The two brothers put the pig's head on the chopping board, gesticulating the size, and arguing about how to divide it is fair, after all, they both wanted more fat.

~~~

He Yuzhu dreamed that he was tied up and was being beaten, and he watched himself being slapped severely.

Terrified but not in pain.

Consciousness suddenly returned to him, and he looked at the big sign hanging on his chest, and the young man with the red sign next to him was holding a loudspeaker and swearing at his crimes.

My own antiques are placed on the ground in front of me, my own purchases in the northeast, stealing fish, the consequences of stealing from the black market, and the evil deed of not giving the elderly to the compound.

Shout out to the crowd below through the loudspeaker.

The crowd raised their arms frantically, their faces were blurred, and they finally saw the people in the front row clearly, the second uncle, Xu Damao, the first uncle, the old lady, Director Li, Director Yang, and the big leader?

Let go of me!let me go!I struggled, tore, and resisted desperately, and just when I was about to break free and escape, I was grabbed by someone and shook desperately.

"Brother Zhuzi, brother Zhuzi, the pig's head is cooked, Guangfu and I are going back."

He heard footsteps leaving, followed by the sound of the door closing.

Consciousness regained consciousness extremely quickly, heart pounding, wiping off cold sweat, ignoring the experience in the dream, put on shoes and ran out of the house in a panic.

He hurriedly ran into the toilet, Xu Damao was also peeing under the dim candlelight, remembering that this guy had no children, he tilted his head curiously, Xu Damao was startled by him,
"Silly, what are you looking at, it's not like you don't have nothing."

He Yuzhu curled his lips in contempt, "Yes, but not so small." After speaking, he shook his head proudly.

Pulling up his trousers, he continued, "The forest is very dense, but there is only one small mushroom growing there, which is wrong, it should be called silkworm chrysalis. Da Mao, why don't you change your name, don't call it Da Mao, call it Xu Yong , Look, the name Xu Yong sounds nice, but it is the chrysalis of a silkworm chrysalis."

Xu Damao hurriedly fastened his trousers, retreated to the toilet door and cursed at He Yuzhu,
"You're just a big idiot, idiot, you wait for me! There's no end to this!"

Xu Damao ran to the house after cursing, and was still thinking when he opened the door.

~Xu Yong is indeed better than Xu Damao.
