The Rebirth of the Rain Pillar of the Siheyuan

Chapter 43
He Yuzhu split the pig's head, Guang Tian ran over and looked at the huge pig's head.

"Brother Zhuzi! Do you still need me to add fuel to the pig's head?"

He chopped the pig's head vigorously, and said casually:
"Okay! There are a lot of pig heads today, and it's been a long time. You and Guangfu can eat at my place. Go back and explain to the second uncle. Don't get beaten because of this, it's not worth it!"

Three big pig heads, one for Uncle Li's house, one for the nursing home, and one for myself and my sister, this is the Chinese New Year.

You didn't look at the radish heads around you, your eyes glowed green, you can eat all you can eat meat in the compound, only your own house, someone else's house has a catty of meat, a dumpling is not bad.

After a year of eating bran and swallowing vegetables, the third uncle's family finally regained their vitality.

When He Yuzhu brought pig heads to Uncle Li's and Uncle Zhao's homes, the third uncle bought one as well, six yuan was too expensive, and he hadn't given a meat ticket yet.

He Yuzhu was so angry that he decided not to sell him anything in the future.

There were pig heads in the kitchen, and He Yuzhu set up a big pot in the yard, preparing to make some snacks for his sister, such as hemp leaves, small twists, vegetarian balls, sprinkles,

"Zhuzi, you can't live like this! How much oil do you need?"

Looking at the oil in the pot, the aunt felt distressed, and couldn't help but persuade He Yuzhu.

Slowly put small twists into the oil pan, seeing the big mother grinned in distress, so she said: "

Rainwater is not eaten at home, and I don’t have to pay for it. Her annual quota is quite a lot, and I am still a cook, so this oil is nothing. If your family does not have enough food, I will get some later. "

The first mother did not expect such a surprise, and whispered with a smile on her face:
"Thank you, aunt, don't worry, I won't tell others, and aunt doesn't buy too much, just three catties and two catties."

He Yuzhu looked at the big mother who went home to fetch the oil bottle, and muttered,

"I'm just being polite to you. Why are you so cheap?"

He slapped his mouth bitterly,
"It's nothing, but I'm so polite. This is good, I'm serious. Sell it? This oil is really hard to buy now, why don't you sell it? You've already turned your back on you ~ show your big eyes!"

He fetched two catties of oil for the aunt, and when he came back, he saw Guangfu grinning from being scalded by the little twist, and Guangtian kept rolling his eyes there.

"How did this drop? Damn it! I'm choking on a meatball! Hurry up! Hurry up!"

He Yuzhu hurried forward to make Guangtian bow and pat his back.

Looking at Guang Tian who was coughing and coughing, He Yuzhu was very angry, but luckily nothing happened.

"No one is robbing you, you said why are you in a hurry, what are you planning to let the whole courtyard eat?"

"Pfft"~ The twist in Guangfu's mouth sprayed.

Looking at the group of little zombies around him, He Yuzhu shouted loudly.

"Everyone go home to get the bowls, and then come back and stand in line!"

After a bit of coaxing, the wolves ran wildly, one after another rushing across the road.

"Mom! Brother Zhuzi sent out delicious food again! Get me a bowl quickly!"

After sending away a group of radish heads, He Yuzhu went back to the house and found two mice and a squirrel. The squirrel held the balls in both hands, chewing and wriggling quickly in its small mouth.

He Yuzhu was amused by Jianguo's small appearance, and he was looking at his sister, what the hell are you eating a big ball of meat, and you actually gave me a big roll of your eyes.

Yaya held up the ball and said to He Yuzhu: Brother Zhuzi, eat it!The big balls and small twists you made are delicious!
He Yuzhu knelt down to feel relieved, and touched Yaya's head, "

Brother Zhuzi is not hungry, let's eat!There are still some in the kitchen, ask Sister Yushui to get some more for you and your brother when you go back. "

He got up and gave his sister a big roll of his eyes, and got a "huh"!
~~~

On the morning of New Year's Eve, I made a deal with the third master, peanuts and melon seeds in exchange for couplets.

Should I say it or not, the brush calligraphy of these three masters is really good. Looking at the pasted couplets, He Yuzhu is filled with emotion~ Another year!
At noon, I carried the pig's head to press the meat, and brought the rain to Uncle Li's house for a reunion dinner.

He Yuzhu swallowed the food in his mouth and asked suddenly, "

Uncle Li, I have something to ask you. There is a village in Xiangcheng that has more than 1000 catties of stick noodles. Can you find a buyer for them? "

Aunt Li said in a panic:
"Zhuzi, you can't dump food, that's against the law!"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't know!"

Li Shuchong yelled at Aunt Ji, and then asked He Yuzhu: "Is it cornmeal or cornmeal?"

He Yuzhu looked at Uncle Li:
"Stick noodles, there is a large-scale organic chemical factory in Xiangcheng, and the core of the sticks is still used as fertilizer. After the disaster year, people don't eat stick noodles, so they want to sell them but dare not sell them in public. Just before I left, I went to the village. Harvesting pheasants, I want to help when I know about it, and I want to get more meat in the village in the future, you don’t know, wow, in such a big nursing home, the monthly quota is only one pig, I’m a clever woman who can’t live without rice!”

"Are the living conditions there so good? They don't even eat cornmeal!"

Aunt Li was very curious about it.

He Yuzhu was also curious, and Uncle Li looked at the two and explained:
"The Northeast is sparsely populated, self-sufficient in food and has a surplus, and the industry is developed. If it weren't for the support of the provinces in the past three years, people would not have to worry about food at all."

"The people there are so happy!"

Aunt Li was very envious of the people there, and Uncle Li laughed.

"That's the happiness you thought. The industry is developed there, and there is no shortage of industrial products. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, water conservancy projects were carried out, and rice was planted on a large scale. As a result, the rice was taken away. You can only eat cornmeal. You are giving others food. Cornmeal with cobs, what are you going to do? Therefore, the Northeast is now the area with the best life, and it is not uncommon for there to be leftovers in the villages. This is the result of the country's eldest son, Liao Province, fully supporting the country's construction, otherwise it would be better! "

After hearing Uncle Li's explanation, He Yuzhu cleared up his doubts and said:

"No wonder when I was in the village, I didn't see a single person who was pale and emaciated. At the beginning, I was still wondering!"

Uncle Li pointed him out and said: "You are next to the steel city, and the mountains are called Qianshan. There are so many wild animals in the mountains. It is not harmful to walk around with the village. Don't tell others about this, wait for me. Believe it."

~~~

On the fourth day of the lunar new year, He Yuzhu returned to Xiangcheng, walked out of the train station and came to the car storage place. Looking at the one-yuan receipt in his hand, He Yuzhu muttered that the car storage fee was really expensive.

Panting heavily, looking at the three-wheeled satchel that couldn't be started, I felt a headache: How can this be fixed.

Jiao Zuo looked around in front of the station anxiously, and suddenly remembered that the driver had told him that the car was too cold to catch fire, and that the engine could be preheated with hot water.

I patted my forehead and came to the storage room. The iron stove in the cabin was very warm. An old man in his 50s was leaning on a chair and was dozing off when he heard the door open and opened his eyes.

"Master, you smoke!"

He Yuzhu took out a cigarette and lit it for the uncle. Seeing that it was the People's Liberation Army, the uncle said very politely:
"Thank you comrades of the People's Liberation Army! Come and sit down, comrade, warm and warm."

He Yuzhu sat down and stretched out his hand to warm the fire, and said: "Master, please be more serious, my three-wheel kicker can't catch fire, and I want to ask you for a pot of hot water."

The uncle is very refreshing.

"Hi! What else am I thinking about! You sit down, and I'll fetch water for you right away."

"Thank you, sir! You are very kind!"

He Yuzhu hurriedly got up and thanked, watching the uncle leave the garage with a large tin kettle.

As steam rose from the kettle on the iron stove, He Yuzhu quickly ran out with the kettle and poured it on the engine.

After a few kicks, the three-wheeled satchel made a "chug chug" sound. Seeing that it started steadily, He Yuzhu carried the water bottle to send it to the uncle, and threw down the half pack of cigarettes in his pocket while arguing with the uncle.

With the roar of the accelerator, the three-wheeled trolley slowly drove out of the station, out of the main city and came to the deserted suburbs. He Yuzhu put down the seat of the car and stuffed it with five big pig heads. , two sets of fish, ten catties of meat, twenty catties of mackerel, half a fan of pork ribs.

The heavy saddle ride was very stable, but halfway through the journey, there were snowflakes in the sky, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes made his face hurt.

Along the way, accompanied by "Hey, I am in trouble!", I returned to the nursing home, pointed at the soldiers on duty at the gate, and drove into the hospital.

The soldiers on duty saw the big pig's head in the car bucket, and rushed into the guard's duty room screaming. The door was knocked open in an instant, and five or six figures rushed towards the three-wheeled bag.

The little platoon leader saluted He Yuzhu excitedly and said,
"Master He, I didn't expect to see Hunxuan before we were transferred away. Thank you, comrades and I!"

He smacked his arm with a cotton glove, and He Yuzhu said with a smile:
"Why are you being polite to me? I may not be as old as you! Let's have dinner tonight!"

Several soldiers hugged He Yuzhu excitedly and threw them up, He Yuzhu screamed in fright

"Oh shit!"

Holding a gasoline spray gun, they roasted the five big pig heads clean, and a group of soldiers happily washed them with the big pig heads in their hands.

Back in the kitchen, I started to get busy. When I was chopping meat, the big brothers and sisters who were on duty in the yard heard the news.

Sister Zhao, who is aggressive in the logistics department, said to He Yuzhu:

"I said Comrade Xiao He, are you going to fart in bed!"

What He Yuzhu is most afraid of is this sister Zhao, so what's the point of joking?They started directly, so He Yuzhu was often eaten tofu by others.

Looking at the people who were sniggering, He Yuzhu looked at Sister Zhao blankly.

"Sister Zhao, what do you mean?"

"Playing alone (poison)!" Everyone coaxed together.

He Yuzhu looked at everyone who was laughing together, tasted this sentence, and said to Sister Zhao:
"Talent! You are so talented!"

Sister Zhao pinched her waist fiercely with one hand, and pointed at him with the other hand and asked:
"Comrade He Yuzhu! Are you planning to dig out us comrades on duty? You lead a row of guards to have a carnival, and let us laugh at the sidelines!"

He Yuzhu saw that this was the rhythm of cleaning up, so he quickly shook his hand and said:

"No! No! Sister Zhao, you misunderstood. Didn't I finish all my thinking and invite you to come and taste it!"

Miss Zhao waved her hand.

"Don't talk about it with me, it's useless! Just a word, is there any share for us, let us eat?"

"Yes! Yes! Let eat! Let eat!"

He Yuzhu nodded and bowed in agreement.

Everyone cheered, Physiotherapy Dr. Wu patted He Yuzhu on the shoulder and said: "I think in this nursing home, only Xiao Zhao can take care of you. It's really useless for others to take care of you!"

Everyone laughed and made dumplings, stuffed with sauerkraut and cabbage. He Yuzhu was busy in the back kitchen.

There were four tables full of dishes, and the canteen was filled with the smell of meat.

"Grilled pig's head! Grilled liver tip! Roasted fat intestines! Stir-fried pork lungs! Shredded tripe in cold sauce! Garlic cabbage! Pork wrapped in pork! Sliced ​​pork ribs! Stewed pork ribs with sauerkraut! Braised squid in braised oats!"

Sister Zhao was drooling, pointing to the dishes on the table with her fingers, when suddenly a voice came from behind.

"Pay attention to your image, wipe off your bum!"

　Let’s talk about Pigeon Market. In my memory, there were no small markets before 83. According to the old man in the family, after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the small markets and vegetable markets were all controlled by the state. Country people were afraid that there would be no stalls for tax payment, so they relied on the flower and bird market. Selling some agricultural products, over time it became known as the Pigeon Market. The difference between the Pigeon Market and the black market is that there are no contraband, but it does not comply with the regulations and disrupts the economic order of the small market, so it will be expelled, and fines will be confiscated if necessary.
