Back to 80, start from gold digging

Chapter 81
Zhao Wenlan sighed straight away, what did this kid grow up on, rice bran mixed with grain?Otherwise, how can I say this sentence.

Zhao Wenying was also stunned by his stupor, and she forgot the embarrassment of the misunderstanding. She paused for three seconds before remembering to answer, and turned her trouser pockets upside down. The son turned to the sky, and then said in a very shocked way: "I don't have any money." I don't believe you.

The young man didn't feel too disappointed, and he didn't ask her to borrow money from his younger sisters. Like what he said before, maybe he didn't take the other three sisters into his eyes at all.

"Then how can I find you?" The young man looked distressed, as if borrowing money was not to take the car home, but an excuse to find Zhao Wenying.

Zhao Wenlan on the side was so dumbfounded, she put her arm directly to Zhao Wenduo: "Third brother, do you understand what he said? Why do I feel that I don't belong to the same place as him, but the voice is the same, It doesn’t look like it’s from other places, why can’t I understand it.”

This is the so-called not on the same audio, there is talk but no understanding.This kid is really talented, he doesn't know what he's thinking in his head, he's different from normal people, he's two-dimensional.

The boss did the same, he really took it seriously, he answered seriously, even took out his pocketbook to read.Can it be said that these two are the same thing, a pair of fools?
Zhao Wenduo silently looked at the two people in front of him, wondering what the outcome of the conversation would be.

Zhao Wenying was stunned when asked, and replied intuitively: "Why are you looking for me, and I don't know you." If I knew this person was like this, I wouldn't have stretched out my hand just now.

If money is hard to buy, I knew it earlier. If many things can be predicted in advance, there will be no follow-up series of developments.

The young man You took it for granted: "How could it be? Didn't we just know each other? Oh, by the way, I haven't told you my name yet. My name is Xue Qin. I am 25 years old this year and I am a third-year student. I was not in good health when I was young. , I went to school a year late. My family lives in Xiancheng Street, not far from the passenger terminal, just two roads away.”

The more Zhao Wenying listened to it, the more wrong she became. Why did you tell me this, as if she was introducing herself, looking for someone on a blind date.Thinking of this, her face turned red unconsciously.

After the young man finished speaking, he stopped there and looked at Zhao Wenying, as if he was waiting for her to talk about it and briefly introduce his situation.

"I -- it doesn't matter what my name is, I'm just a stranger who happened to pass by. You and I are not hurt, and that's luck." Zhao Wenying said 'I' twice, and when she came to her senses, she straightened her face.

The young man named Xue Qin listened carefully, only to realize that she didn't disclose any information, and said in puzzlement, "But I still don't know how to find you?"

Just as Zhao Wenying was about to answer, Zhao Wenlan directly interrupted her and said, "Why are you looking for my eldest sister? She saved you, so you owe it to me. What does it mean to keep asking?" What's the matter?

Xue Qin seemed to realize that someone else was standing beside him at this time, blinked his eyes, looked at Zhao Wenlan without answering the question, and said, "Oh, you are her sister, and you, too?" He even glanced at Zhao Wenlan. Wen Duo and Zhao Wennan.

It was only after co-authoring that I found out, what kind of broken eyes are this.

Just as dissatisfied with not seeing a few people, Xue Qin said very calmly: "I just want to know where you live, and I will come to thank you in the future, so that it is convenient to communicate."

Oh, it's a normal thing to say.

This thank you is really long overdue, but it is not too late, at least not after a punch and kick.If he doesn't talk about the topic, let alone Zhao Wenduo, then even Zhao Wenlan wants to go up and scratch him.

Now that what should be said has been said, getting a thank you is not considered formal, but it is not satisfactory.There is no need to chat here anymore, Zhao Wenying nodded, it was accepted.He waved at his three younger sisters: "Let's go." After such a long delay, his feet were numb when he stood still.

The three sisters have also seen this young man surnamed Xue gossip, obviously just want to say thank you, this made him wander around for a while, some of them said a lot, it was really too much for him Get up, let's go, if you stay any longer, you don't know what he can say.

The four sisters lifted their feet and left. Xue Qin paused for a moment, followed by two steps forward, and finally stopped, looking at the backs of the few leaving in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, maybe ten seconds, or maybe a minute, a pair of black cotton shoes appeared in the hanging view, and at the same time, a voice rang in my ears: "Here are you, buy a ticket and go home quickly. "Hand over the green two yuan bill.

Zhao Wenying had already reached the corner, but still hesitantly opened her mouth to Zhao Wenduo and borrowed two yuan.Since you stretched out your hand towards him, let the good man do it to the end and send him home.

After handing over the money to Xue Qin, Zhao Wenying left without stopping.

This time, I didn't hear the footsteps chasing after me again. The college student who claimed to be surnamed Xue should be eager to buy a ticket and go home, and there will be no more intersections in the future.This is a chance encounter, a small episode that will always appear in life without a prologue and without an end.

The three sisters waited at the corner until she came to her, and then they walked home together.

A few people on the road were talking and chatting, you chattered about each other, didn't decide on a topic, and talked about whatever came to mind.

Thinking of what happened just now, Zhao Wenlan couldn't help but said: "That man looks very gentle, he doesn't look that old, he's already 25, if you don't say it, you really can't tell."

"People who go to school look young, but those who work in the fields are not good. They are exposed to the wind and sun every day, and their skin is dark and thick. Don't they look old?" Zhao Wenying answered, "I am three years younger than him. But it looks bigger than him."

"No, eldest sister, your face is darker than his, but you still look very young." Zhao Wenlan may feel that this is still a blow to self-esteem, so she quickly added: "It's not much darker, he is too white I don't have much color anymore. Anyone is darker than him. Isn't it, third child?"

Zhao Wenduo raised his eyes to look at Zhao Wenying, and nodded as if looking at it seriously: "Well, you are still old."

This is really the truth, not to comfort Zhao Wenying to say so on purpose.The looks of the Zhao family’s sisters have their own characteristics. Zhao Wenlan’s weak willow Fufenglin’s younger sister’s style, Zhao Wenduo’s light and beautiful, Zhao Wennan’s smart and delicate, and Zhao Wenying’s is more elegant and cute, with a round face. With some baby fat on it, she looks younger than her actual age.It's just that she has been working outdoors all day long these years, and the sun has been scorching fiercely. Her skin looks darker, and it is indeed more than two degrees darker than those who are naturally fair-skinned.

But the skin color is dark, but the face is young, full of collagen, plus the natural baby fat, it is still very small.

Zhao Wenying didn't have to believe others' words, but Sanmeizi's words were still believable. She was very happy to hear that she was not what she expected.

Which woman doesn't like others to say that she is young, this is applicable at any time, even if she is old and has become an old lady in her [-]s and [-]s, she also likes people to say that she has few wrinkles on her face.

"Eldest sister, we are not afraid of the dark. Didn't the second sister buy fragrant lotion for us, we wipe it every day, and the face will soon be white, smooth, beautiful and good-looking." Zhao Wennan tilted his little head, Said seriously.

The little girl also runs outside all day long. She used to help the family share the burden and do some small jobs within her capacity. During the end of the year, she ran wildly with her little friends. She was often exposed to the sun, her face It is also dark in color, closer to a healthy wheat color than dark.But she also knew that if she wasn't fair, she wouldn't be so good-looking and cute. The cosmetics Zhao Wenlan gave her made her happy and bad.

She has never used cosmetics seriously, and this bottle of Xumei has become her treasure.As soon as she heard that Zhao Wenying had a dark complexion, she contacted her directly, and comforted the eldest sister, and she was also telling her to listen to herself.You must remember to apply the lotion every day, so as to change the black color and replace it with water and tenderness.

"Xiaosi's words are really good. Eldest sister should listen to what she said, carefully wipe your face and take precautions, and you should see the effect soon." Zhao Wenlan said.

The foundation is good, and the outer layer can be easily changed.

"Yes." Zhao Wenying nodded vigorously.

In the past, the family did not have the conditions, but now it is no longer a problem. Take good care of this face, and don't be told that the whole family is fair-skinned, and only her face is dark.

A few people finished talking about cosmetics, and then they talked about clothes.I didn't miss any of these two things I bought while shopping.

"Jialiang's floral shirts became popular two years ago, and they are still very popular now, but the price is a bit expensive." Zhao Wenlan was still a little happy when she mentioned this.

Zhao Wenying then said: "The fabric of these clothes is expensive, and the finished clothes are not cheap. There are also labor costs, water and electricity costs, a lot of mess, and they add up to a lot of money. Don't sell the clothes at a high price. , that can’t be taken back.”

No one can make a loss-making business, directly increase the price, and finally pass it on to consumers.

"It would be great if you can make it yourself, and you can save money, and you can customize the style yourself. If it doesn't fit, you can modify it directly." Zhao Wenlan said.

"In the garment factory in the town, there are quite a few workers who know how to make their own clothes. It's not that difficult to say yes, just look around more and you'll be fine," Zhao Wenying said.

Zhao Wenlan shook her head and said, "It's not that easy. If it were really that simple, the master who made the samples would not be able to earn money. Many people can only do it, but they can't cut it. Cutting is the most important thing."

"No one in the embroidery factory understands?"

"No, those masters all teach embroidery, and they don't know how to do it. We also embroider on finished products. I heard that we have cooperation with garment factories. They supply special clothes as required, and we use them to embroider patterns."

"If you don't know it, go learn it, it's not difficult." Zhao Wenduo listened for a while, and said aloud.

"Third brother, do you also think I should learn it?" Zhao Wenlan had such an idea before that it would be good to learn more skills without overwhelming him.

"If you want to learn, go learn it, and it won't take long." Zhao Wenduo said: "Isn't there a tailor in the garment factory, just follow her." Just learning to make clothes, the main focus is on embroidery, no requirement The skills are exquisite and top-notch, and the ordinary is enough.

"The third one has already said that, after the new year, you can discuss it with the tailor and see if you can learn from it." Zhao Wenying said.

Zhao Wenduo's opinions are still highly valued by the family. She usually doesn't talk much, but once she talks a lot, it's not aimless, and she has her reasons.

Zhao Wenlan nodded: "Well, okay, I will go."

The sisters chatted and chatted, and the time passed quickly, and they arrived home before they knew it.

Before leaving the house, Zhao Wenlan said hello, and today is all her consumption.Don't cook lunch, the four of them eat outside, and then bring some back for the two older ones, and the youngest one can drink milk.

Therefore, the Zhao family did not open fire at noon.

The sisters had just arrived at the door of the house when they met Wang Ping, a woman from the Jiang family, who was walking back from the pile of firewood.

Seeing the four of them carrying a bunch of big and small bags of food, they said: "The four of you sisters went shopping, look and buy these old ones. No wonder there is no fire at home, this is ready-made food Yes, it will really be a blessing."

As he said that, without waiting for a few people to reply, he stepped into the outer door first.

The four sisters at the door looked at each other, pursed their lips, and no one said anything, they were all used to this woman's eccentricity, if they were like her, they would have to quarrel every day, and they didn't bother to be as knowledgeable as her.

The four of them didn't care about it, but Li Cuizhen in the room was not happy. Hearing that a few girls were demoted, how could she sit still? What's delicious? Mom has a lot of food today. Beef, pork, and mutton are all delicious. It's good if there are too many girls. I know that I feel sorry for Mom. Unlike some people, what delicious food is pouting? I can’t catch it, no one hurts, and I still need cold water in such a cold day, and the chilblains on my hands won’t heal.”

The two daughters of Jiang's family are both workers. They usually have tight working hours and hardly have much free time.Needless to say, men, those who have time do not stretch out their hands, just waiting to eat ready-made ones.Wang Ping started the three meals of the day, and was so ashamed by the smoke from morning to night.

It’s better in spring, summer and autumn. It’s winter, especially these few days when the twelfth lunar month is dripping and freezing, that’s the real punishment. It’s okay to wash the vegetables and wash the rice, and the water is cold. You can't have enough sex.This dish has to be eaten and cooked immediately, and it will be sticky after the second meal.

No way, she has to get up every morning to do it, empty-handed to pick up sauerkraut in the big tank with ice, and she gets chilblains on her hands, but she doesn't know how to protect it, the place is getting colder and colder. serious.Every time I see her itchy, scratching regardless of the occasion, I am worried that the skin and crumbs will fall into the rice cooker again.

The two women always like to quarrel, you come and I don't want to lose anyone, if you have the upper hand today, I will have to make up for it tomorrow.

The two families are already used to it, listening to the two fighting each other, they didn't participate in it, and neither of them took it to heart, they just thought it was one of countless fights.

But I don't want to, some people will hate it.He secretly made up his mind that he must steal the limelight back.

It's the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and the Chinese New Year is only two days away.

After waking up in the morning and having breakfast, the members of the family began to divide their work.

Zhao Mingyu and Zhao Wenduo worked together to paste the couplets. First, they cut out the whole couplets with a knife. When the sun came out and warmed up, we could start.One brushes the pulp and the other is picked up and posted.

Li Cuizhen took the two girls to pull the buns, Zhao Wenying was in charge of making the dough, Zhao Wenlan cut the vegetables and fillings, adjusted them, and took them to the table in the house to make the buns together.

A few pots of steamed buns were put together a few years ago, steamed and placed outside in a large natural refrigerator to freeze naturally for a few hours. It was so hard that it was crispy when knocked. Then it can be stored in a large tank. .

During the Chinese New Year, when people come and go at home, take out a few and put them on a large pot to heat up, and serve them on the table as rice and vegetables.

In addition to stretched buns, there are also fried balls, which are also foods that need to be prepared years ago.This was done early, and it was fried two days ago, covered with a three-sided cover, and it was frozen enough to fill half a basket.

This is not the same as steamed stuffed buns. The oil balls can be served on the plate when entertaining guests, and can also be eaten as snacks.There are many children in the family, which requires more preparations.It can be eaten from New Year's Eve to the end of the first month.

As usual, fried noodles and fried goods are also prepared, but the quantity is far less than this year.Not only in quantity, but also in quality.

Take the steamed stuffed buns as an example. Previously, there were two kinds of mixed noodles. Corn noodles accounted for a large proportion, and white noodles didn't even have half of it.The stuffing used inside is even more so. A pot of cabbage and radish mixed with one or two ounces of meat can make you see some meat stars.

But this time the buns are made of pure white flour, without any corn flour.The stuffing is also solid, two pieces of pork belly are all put inside, real big meat buns.

The most typical sauerkraut meat filling in winter, most of the pot of meat is chopped and mixed with three sauerkraut, the broth is straightened with a bite, the taste is sour and fragrant, and it is not greasy at all.

Niang San made buns all morning, and produced five pots of buns with three fillings.

The whole family eats this for lunch. Fist-sized white bread is served hot, with a tablespoon of garlic sauce. It is moderately salty and fragrant after one bite, giving pure satisfaction.

Seven people can eat six. Even the youngest Zhao Wennan even ate two buns stuffed with Chinese cabbage until he couldn’t eat any more. .

To pull the buns, the dough should be fermented in advance, and preparations should be made on the first day. The flour soda is mixed with flour according to a certain ratio, and the pot is covered with a cover made of sorghum stalks, and it is fermented overnight.If the weather is cold, if the noodles don’t rise, put it on the kang the next morning and cover the hot hair with a small quilt, and it will be fine in half an hour or a little.

The Zhao family made a fuss the day before, and the Jiang family who lived in the next room naturally knew that they were going to pull the buns the next day.There is no doubt that this is an excellent opportunity to slap face.At this time in previous years, Wang Ping was able to show off well.

The conditions of Jiang's family are good, and pulling buns is a big job, which takes a long time, so it can fully demonstrate its advantages.

The two families share an outhouse, so there is no need to talk too much, the gap is obvious when the buns are placed there.
