A good time for farming through the ages

Chapter 191 [191] Back to the County (4000)

Early the next morning, Zhuo Lin got up and took Tao Yi to run. Zhuoer felt that it was hard to take a rest and stayed out of bed. Tao Yi knew that Huaqing had a morning running rule every day, so he accompanied Zhuo Lin Going for a run, it happened that this time was also the morning class time for the soldiers. Although Zhuo Lin was only 15 years old, she was mature and beautiful, so that the soldiers turned their heads frequently.

This scene fell in Tao Yi's eyes, and he was very unhappy. After running around, he took Zhuo Lin back home. As soon as he entered the yard, he could smell the strong fragrance of corn.

"Ah, auntie, I made sweet potato soup with corn kernels (big ballast). It's really delicious. The more you chew the corn kernels, the more delicious it is. It's so delicious!"

"I know you, Nier, like it. No, I soaked it last night. I also boiled eggs for you, mixed it with shredded radish, and slipped steamed bread. For breakfast, I'll make do with it. I'll give you a few at noon. Let’s make stewed noodles!”

The breakfasts of our people in southern Henan are also very diverse, such as millet porridge, rice porridge, corn grits and sweet potatoes, wheat kernel noodle soup, and later the tofu nao eight-treasure porridge in spicy soup. Although the uncle’s shop only has tofu nao, she The shop in the county town added Hu spicy soup last year, which is a broth made from pork bones and lamb bones. Of course, there are only vegetarian soups, and no soup with meat is sold, because ordinary people cannot afford it.

In terms of food, their family has always been at the forefront, especially the two pairs of hardworking hands of the aunt and her mother, leading the two families to a well-off place.

After breakfast, they began to plan the time to leave tomorrow, and the auntie also packed up the presents for returning home.

"Actually, there is nothing to bring. Your brothers all have school uniforms and military uniforms. They don't lack anything. I just give it to your father, mother, and you tore some floral cloth. You go home early and hurry up." Before the new year, maybe I can make some nice cotton jackets. Your uncle and I don’t know when we can go back. You don’t have to wait for us. What to do and what to buy, I will discuss with you. Mom Just come, this year is very special, and they are all college students, so they should celebrate well, you. Mom has already ordered a pig, this year, I will definitely let you eat enough!"

After tidying up the things to be tidied up, the auntie revived her face, and when she woke up, she took her to dig out the cabbage buried in the yard, pull out the green onions, there was some meat left from yesterday, cut it up, and marinated it.

When Tao Yi and Zall came back from the outside, they brought back the news of Zhang Cui's departure, and they said it very speechlessly.

"What did they say to outsiders, we were forced to leave, isn't it funny?"

Zhuo Lin curled her lips, "It's just a clown. He's such a big man. He squeezes under the same roof with his sister and brother-in-law every day. Even if he wants to find a good husband, don't he have to weigh his ability first? The tractor man It's also popular in the countryside. Look at the people in the city who don't care about this job? It's not an iron job, and I don't know why she is so proud!"

Zhuo Lin's words were not surprising, and the aunt pushed her, "You girl, could it be you who said this? Don't worry about their family affairs, it's so annoying! Anyway, you are going back tomorrow." It's home, it doesn't matter how their Li family spread rumors, the eyes of the masses are discerning, you two went to the cafeteria to help today, isn't that a good person and a good thing? Whoever has quality is a shit-stirring stick, everyone is clear in their hearts !"

Sure enough, where there are women, there are right and wrong. It seems that the family courtyard of this army is not a quiet place!
With what happened to the Li family yesterday, their family had a quiet night.

On the morning of the third day, my uncle’s father drove them to the provincial capital train station, and they only needed to take the train for more than four hours to go home. So I bought not only a hard seat, but also no seat, plus a lot of luggage. It was not at all easier than when I returned to Beijing, and I even stood all the way in a very embarrassed way, without even a chance to squeeze through the aisle.

It was three or four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived at the county seat. Surprisingly, as soon as they got out of the train station, they saw Zhuo Dajun, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Dad, why are you here?" He was also riding a cart that their restaurant used to buy vegetables. This was designed by Tao Yi and specially welded by someone. It is very practical and looks similar to the tricycles of later generations.

"Your uncle called our factory and told me the time for you to get off the bus, and I walked over slowly. How about it? You are exhausted. Get in the car. You. Mom made some old ones for you. Food, waiting at home now!"

Zhuo Dajun looked at his daughter in surprise, put the backpack on her shoulders and the two bags in her hands together in the car pocket, and even used rough fingers to pin the broken hair from her temples behind her ears Looking at Zhuo Lin's thin face, she frowned.

"Isn't your school food good? Why are you so thin? Didn't you eat well?"

Zhuo Dajun was originally tall, but because of the nature of his work, he often bent over, which made his intervertebral disc protrude a bit. This time, when Zhuo Lin used the vine, he pouted first.

"Why are you still talking about me? Look at you, your waist seems to be bent again. Does it hurt a lot? It's not the way to go on like this. Haven't you become a master? Why are you still working so hard? If you can't, just rest at home Well, just like my mother, be a little boss,"

"I'll work for another ten years until I retire. I really don't need to work harder now, but it's impossible not to do it at all. After all, I still have to teach my apprentices. You, read your book carefully, and take it easy, Dad." , don’t worry, it’s all right, get in the car, I’ll take you home!”

In the end, Tao Yi directly invited him to get off the cart: "We are here, how can it be your turn to take us, you rest, I will come!"

Zhuo Dajun patted Tao Yi's shoulder with a smile: "My good son, dad did not support you for nothing!"

Zhuo Dajun stubbornly wants to earn to the end and get a pension. Anyway, it is a state-owned enterprise, and the benefits in the future will not be bad. He never thought of being an individual. It's not that he looks down on him, but that his wife is already doing it. He also invited his relatives to help. What did he do in the past?If there were not so many people, the account would not be clear. Don't look at those jobs that are not heavy, but they are also very cumbersome. Why don't you let him look at his own profession! "

Now, relying on his contacts and money, he has helped his two brothers-in-law to buy regular jobs, which is an indirect repayment to his father-in-law for his kindness. Now the two brothers-in-law are in the same factory as him, nephew, The nieces and daughters-in-law all follow their daughters-in-law. They are very discerning, and they are all good children who are down-to-earth and hard-working, and they are trustworthy. So these years, not only the life of Zhuo's family is booming, but Wang Juan's natal family is also getting better.

"Today I will live in the family home first, and let your cousin send you back tomorrow morning. We don't have a holiday until the end of the new year. Our store is doing business these days, so we can't leave. This year's New Year's goods and New Year's Eve dinner will be handed over to you. Do it for the little ones, is there any problem?"

Zhuo Lin immediately patted her chest and promised, "What's the problem, I promise to complete the task, the eldest brother and the second brother are back, right?"

"Well, the eldest and the second came back first, the third, fourth, and fifth are on the way, and the seventh has a week to go on vacation, do you want to go to school to see him? He still talked about you last Sunday, no one cares, I only miss you as a sister."

Zhuo Lin was not polite at all: "I don't know that kid yet, he must be greedy, and wants me to bring him something delicious. I'll check the time later. If it's still early, I'll give him some. If it's too late , just wait for him to go home from vacation."

On the way back, everyone walked and chatted, but Zhuo Lin used vines to repair Zhuo Dajun's body. Compared with Zhuo Daqiang and Chen Qiuxia, her father's health seemed to be worse. She noticed that his lumbar spine was slightly misaligned, and he had also developed stones The same thing, it is because of these things that he often suffers from back pain. No matter how serious it is, he may not be able to get up on the bed. As a daughter, she has to take advantage of this holiday to take good care of his body.

She can't take out the stones, they have to be crushed, this transitional sickness is different, it needs to consume spiritual energy, and the accumulation of spiritual energy needs her practice, after this repair, it may take two or three months, and the ability will not be able to function, more than In this way, her body must be prepared to collapse at any time.

The time on the road was too short, Zhuo Lin just did a detoxification and dehumidification for Zhuo Dajun.

When they arrived at the family home, the neighbors came over to say hello warmly. They probably knew from their parents that when they came back today, everyone was indifferent to college students, especially their family was a legendary family in southern Henan Province. Everyone wanted to come and have a look. From the door to my home, it took more than ten minutes to walk, but I walked for almost an hour, and the anxious Zhuo Lin almost scratched her.

The so-called family courtyard is actually a tube building in the 70s and 66s. It is still an old house, but the floor is okay. It is on the second floor near the head, [-] square meters, two bedrooms and one living room. There is no kitchen, no bathroom, and the kitchen is in the corridor. , The bathroom is a public toilet downstairs.

Living, the six or seven people in their family can barely live, but they are used to living in the old house at home, and it is too crowded to get out of here.

The parents did not live in the master bedroom, but in a small room. In the big room, there were only two high and low beds, and each of the four sons had a place, plus a wardrobe and a desk. Zhuo Lin's room was on the balcony, and an independent room was specially separated. In a small space, the folding wooden bed was tailor-made for her by her father. It is very suitable. It can be folded up when not in use and does not take up much space.

In fact, compared to many other families, this house of theirs is not bad, especially since the children are going to go to college, and they usually live together. The spaciousness is envied by other families. People often use this name to stay at their house. The parents couldn't refuse, so they simply packed a set of quilts for outsiders, and locked all the valuables at home in the cabinet.

The couple who are used to keeping a low profile, even though they are now ten thousand yuan households, never show off anything. When anyone comes to borrow money, my mother categorically refuses.

"No, no, there are so many students in our family, and we don't have enough money to spend on our own. Where can I borrow money for you to spend?"

In fact, when I say this, my mother also has considerations. First of all, the whole factory has a good university in other places, only their family, and there are not many college students in the rest, and they are all local universities. I insisted that it is not easy to supply four college students, it costs a lot of money, and it is the capital and Shanghai.

But if someone’s situation is really difficult and the character is good, my mother will take the initiative to send the money and ask them to write an IOU. When they are free, they will pay back, but they have to pay back. She is not afraid to say ugly things first, which is better than falling apart afterwards. Good job.

She has known this tradition for a long time, and she was shocked by her mother's three views and behaviors. She is a bit like a Shanghainese. This approach can extend the shelf life of many relationships.

Because there is no conflict of interest, so we can get along happily, especially under the influence of my aunt for many years, I feel that it is not as difficult to say the word "rejection". If you agree to others because of face problems In the end, it is yourself who suffers the loss, and you will experience the end of knocking out teeth and swallowing blood, and you will suffer a lot, especially since they are still in business, and they can understand the things better. Therefore, over the years, there will be Today's indifferent life.

People in southern Henan love to eat pasta, firstly because it is simple, secondly because it is cheap, and thirdly because they are the origin of wheat, although their home is in X city, the main agricultural product is rice, it stands to reason that they should prefer to eat rice, But Zhuo’s family can always grasp the balance very well. Whether it’s pasta or rice, Zhuo’s family can enjoy both rain and dew.

I don’t know if the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law had made an agreement. The aunt’s side ate pasta. When she got home, the aunt prepared rice and fried four hot dishes, two cold dishes, and the hot dish braised pork. Hot fat intestines, hot and sour potato shreds, vinegar bean sprouts, cold dishes are cold pork head meat, and lotus vegetables.

In the end, a pot of pork rib soup was brought in, and Zhuo Lin's eyes widened when she saw it: "Mom, you are not afraid of spreading hatred! Are you doing so well?"

Because it is cooking in the corridor, it is very clear who does what, and it is easy for my mother to make things so blatantly good.

Wang Juan doted on her daughter, and gave her a bowl of coarse grain rice, not pure white rice, which was quite low-key, so it was a bit unbelievable that there was so much meat suddenly.

In the next second, Wang Juan slapped her in the face: "Did you think you were stupid? The pork rib soup is only four ribs, and I scooped up the rest and hid them in the lunch box. The braised pork and fatty intestines are all in there." Our restaurant is ready, I take it out of the lunch box, and put it directly in the cage when steaming the rice, so that the taste will not be so strong, "

Zhuoer couldn't help laughing: "Auntie is so smart, she knows to use pork rib soup as a cover, if the smell leaks out, there will be a reason!"

"As smart as you are, I deliberately put these lunch boxes on the bottom layer, with steamed corn bread and rice on them. If someone had to open them up and take a look, they wouldn't be able to see anything!" No wonder their food It was served in a lunch box, for the sake of stuttering, it was really not easy!
