Life is a Game

　　Zhang Chu ran fast, holding his crying son, as if it were not a son in his hand was a time bomb. When he arrived at the captain’s house, the captain’s family was eating, and a small square table seated eight people. They weren’t even running outside. I didn’t know if there were children eating. It was considered a prosperous population.

Seeing Zhang Chu coming, the captain's daughter-in-law put down the tableware and stood up. As a result, Zhang Chiyuan in Zhang Chu's hands coaxed the child twice to stop crying, but there were still tears on his face and nasal bubbles under his nose. I thought it was just beaten by my father.

　　 "Auntie is really bothering you. My kid doesn't know what's going on. Guixiang started crying as soon as he entered the room to pick up things. I couldn't coax it." The culprit Zhang Chu didn't even know why his son was crying.

　　 The wife of the captain of the brigade smiled and said: "Where do you guys know how to take children? You are the first one who hasn't taught the old man yet. It will come later."

　　 "Cinnamon is packing up, and when you're done, send Chiyuan's clothes." Zhang Chu explained.

"It's okay, don't worry. By the way, Xiao Zhang, I have something to trouble you. You and I go in and I'll give you something." The captain's wife said, holding the child and walking before Zhang Chu and the captain The room where we talked.

　　Zhang Chu was a little unclear. So, he subconsciously glanced at the captain. The captain nodded at him, and then Zhang Chu followed.

　　The wife of the captain of the brigade entered the house and put the child on the bed, took the rope to open the cabinet, and took out a tin box from the top floor. Open the box, there is a cloth bag in the box, open the cloth is full of money, all kinds of face value, Jiang Feng even saw a piece of ten, but the most is a few cents of change.

The captain's wife did not take the change, took a two-dollar and one-dollar banknote from it, put the cloth back in the box, put the box back in the cabinet, and locked it before handing the money to Zhang Chu .

"Xiao Zhang, aren't you going to the Longkou production brigade to change jobs later? There must be someone in the production team who wants to kill pigs in these two days. Please help me pay more attention, buy a few pounds of meat, can buy a few pounds and a few pounds I don’t want to pick the best part of the part. If you keep the remaining change, you’ll be a bit aunt.”

　　Zhang Chu did not refuse to take Qian Qian in his hand: "Kill the pigs? How can the pigs be killed this year?"

The commander-in-law's wife said softly: "The son of their production team's money accountant has passed their tenth birthday two days ago. You may not understand the situation on their side. The money accountant is just such a son. I’m afraid I’m going to be taken away by the devil. Bah, bah, you’re an educated youth intellectual. I’ll tell you why. The money accountant specially raised a pig last year for his son’s tenth birthday this year. You know, this year Everyone can’t eat enough. There is excess food for the pigs. The pig farming is not easy. The pigs don’t like to eat. They don’t grow any meat. There are not many people in the team who are willing to raise chickens this year.

　　 "Anyway, after you pass, help me pay attention, kill the pig and hurry to buy meat, you have worked hard."

　　 "No problem, rest assured." Zhang Chu licked his lips, feeling that he had eaten pork.

　　 When Zhang Chu went out, Cao Guixiang happened to come with his luggage, and gave the small cloth bag containing Zhang Chiyuan's clothing to the captain's wife. He hurried to the village entrance two days later, fearing that he would not be able to catch the tractor.

When 　　 was almost at the entrance of the village, Zhang Chu secretly stuffed Cao Guixiang with the three dollars given to him by the captain's wife.

　　Cao Guixiang was shocked to see this huge sum of money, and asked quickly, "Where did you get the money?"

"The aunt gave me just now, she said that the Longkou Production Brigade will kill the pigs in the past two days, let me help her buy a few pounds of pork, and the extra change will be used as our errand fee." Zhang Chu said, his face full of yearnings "Unfortunately, we have no money, I haven't eaten braised pork in a long time. Guixiang, if you take some private work to help them fix some furniture and make a cabinet for a week, can you save a plate of braised pork?"

　　Cao Guixiang smiled: "I am repairing farm tools during the day and taking private work at night. You are not like sleeping? Also braised meat, you can save a plate of braised trotters."

　　Zhang Chu couldn't hold back and licked his lips again, feeling that the braised pig's trotters were already tight in his stomach: "The braised pig's trotters are also good. It's really not bad for the braised pigs to go into the water. Anyway, you're delicious.

"Are you still dreaming? When we were still in Peiping, what kind of seasoning do I want to use in Yongheju? You don’t look at our home, do you have other seasonings besides salt and oil? Peppers don’t have to go to the mountains Instead of picking cornel, you can use tempeh to replace soy sauce when frying vegetables, how to replace it when roasting meat, and vinegar. Do you go to the accountant to borrow white vinegar? Their vinegar is also made with rice. Where can I borrow it for the long term." Cao Guixiang couldn't help but spit out, "Don't even think about the pig's water, can you eat without the big taste?"

　　Zhang Chu can only sigh: "You should write to Brother Qin to tell him not to send old milk powder, malted milk and biscuits, and send some soy sauce, vinegar, chili, big stuff is better than anything."

"Brother Qin knows that we are so poor that we can't even afford soy sauce. If we let him know that he must have sent all the condiments in the shop in one pot, it will be returned. Anyway, we usually eat corn, sweet potatoes and vegetables. There is no need for seasoning opportunities. You have time to think about getting into the water, it is better to spend time thinking about where to get some refined flour and eat cabbage dumplings." Cao Guixiang smiled.

　　Zhang Chu began to think seriously about who has refined flour in the village to get some dumplings to eat.

The two were free to chat about the time they were walking. They got on the tractor, and the road was so rough that they could spit out the food they had eaten the day before yesterday. The huge roar of the old diesel-burning tractor could stop everything. The shouting across the tweeter may not be clear.

　　Although the tractor is upside down and noisy, it is always better than the eleventh road on legs. If Zhang Chu and Cao Guixiang were not changing jobs this time but were going out on their own, the tractor would not be able to rub it.

　　Ridged a dozen miles of tractors, Zhang Chu and Cao Guixiang walked the dirt road for a few more hours, and because of the unfamiliar road, they almost went wrong and asked an old farmer on the road to get on the right track. When the two arrived at the legendary Longkou Production Brigade, it was already supper time. The people of the Longkou Production Brigade had already laid off their work, and every household had a smoke. There was a child in the village who was playing with mud on his face. Seeing Zhang Chu and Cao Guixiang walking back and forth quickly greeted him.

　　 The child is estimated to be lonely playing mud alone, eager to go home to eat. After seeing Zhang Chu and Cao Guixiang, he directly took him to the accountant of the Longkou Production Brigade. The accountant also had an empty room. Zhang Chu and Cao Guixiang would live here in the next week.

Because there was no telephone information exchange due to running and roaring, the Longkou Production Brigade has been changing the job only for Zhang Chu. The accountant was surprised when he saw the arrival of the couple, and then he was ecstatic-- What used to be one for two and now one for one. The accountant feels that he has earned at least one trotter.

Zhang Chu and Cao Guixiang were staying at the accountant during this time. At first, Jiang Feng listened to the commander-in-law’s wife telling the accountant of the Longkou production team that there was only one son and thought that he had only one son. Only to realize that there is really only one son.

　　 Only child.

　　 A white child who looks white and thin, and feels that he usually doesn't even play with mud. No wonder his father and mother are worried about raising their only child.

　　In the era of rural areas in this era, family planning has not yet begun to popularize. The ten-year-old only child is very rare. It is no wonder that on the tenth birthday, the teacher must be raised to mobilize a pig to kill.

　　 Dinner is very rich, sweet potatoes, white rice, fried vegetables, and a bowl of egg soup.

　　After eating, Zhang Chu didn't work either. Today, he only worked part-time but took the full-time work rounding and said he earned a pig's tail. The accountant led Zhang Chu to see the agricultural tools he was going to repair in the future, all of which were hoes, common wooden agricultural tools such as plows on cultivated land, the more difficult ones were the barn door and the threshing machine, the workload It’s not small, it’s no wonder it’s a week to change.

After reading things, the accountant led Zhang Chu to meet with the village leaders, that is, the captain and the party secretary. When he recognized him, he led Zhang Chu back. When Zhang Chu went back, Cao Guixiang was teaching his wife how to use it. The fewest eggs beat the best egg flower soup.

　　Early sleep in the countryside, kerosene is also expensive without electricity, basically after the sky is completely dark, there will be no entertainment. Cao Guixiang and Zhang Chu were also embarrassed to waste the accountant's kerosene, simply wiped their bodies and went to bed to prepare for sleep.

　　 "I just went to the backyard and looked at their pigs."

　　Jiang Feng did not have the habit of watching others sleep. He was about to go out through the wall and heard Cao Guixiang suddenly speak, and stopped suddenly.

　　Zhang Chu:?

　　 "I found that the accountant Liu raised this pig really well. UU reads www.uukanshu.com and said that there are more than two hundred pounds." Cao Guixiang sighed, "If you can get a piece of pork belly to burn, it must be very delicious."

　　Zhang Chu:? ? ?

　　 "Did you say that there was no seasoning at noon?" Zhang Chu soul asked.

"I'm not talking about our family. I just saw it in the kitchen. Not only the soy sauce and vinegar, but also the kind bought by the supply and marketing cooperatives. I also saw the star anise and the gerbera. It is estimated that there are other spices in the cabinet. "Cao Guixiang smacked her mouth, "I haven't seen star anise and fragrant leaves in a long time."

　　 "Large households," Zhang Chu sighed, "Guixiang, do you think their table legs should be repaired?"

　　Cao Guixiang nodded: "I noticed it just after eating, the table is a little crooked."

　　 "I think there are a few chairs." Zhang Chu said.

　　 "The cabinet I saw in the kitchen just now seems a bit old." Cao Guixiang answered.

　　 "One of their sons didn't even have toys."

　　 "Yes, you must have toys." The couple sang one at a time.

　　 Jiang Feng:? ? ? ? ?

Does 　　 say anything?
