People in northern Shaanxi are generous, and they pay attention to eating meat in big bowls and drinking in big gulps.
There is not much fish in the first place, and it does not fit in with the Northwestern people's eating habits of eating pasta and eating in big mouthfuls. It is not surprising that many people have never eaten fish.
Wang Manyin picked up a few small fry when he saw them. To make use of the fish pond, he had to think of other ways. Counting on the Dongla River would definitely not work.
It was getting late, so I started cooking when I got home. I took out the pork belly that I couldn't bring out yesterday and the five kilograms of stick noodles I signed in for today.
Taking advantage of the existing conditions at home, I made braised pork with plums and vegetables. It happened that the steaming time of braised pork with plums and vegetables was not short. The empty space in the steamer was directly used to steam steamed buns with noodles. This is the taste that Wang Manyin is familiar with.
In rural areas, the yards of homes are large enough, and the cave dwellings are built on the cliff, so that every household is not that close together. The smell of what you eat generally does not reach other people's homes, so it is not that noticeable.
"Maodan, bring your brother here. Dad is fine now. Let me tell you a story." After the steaming was done, Wang Manyin said to the two little guys sitting on the kang playing with wooden blocks. Rural children playing with wooden blocks
Blocks are also considered primitive building blocks.
After a busy day, Wang Manyin only took his two children out for a couple of rounds. Without friends to play with, the two of them were still a little bored.
"Dad, hug!" Goudan is still young and does not have such clear logical thinking ability.
"Dad, what story do you want to tell me?" Children in rural areas have long been in charge of their own affairs, and they are already young adults at the age of four.
"The poem says:
Chaos is undivided, the sky and the earth are chaotic, vast and indistinct, no one can see it.
Since Pangu broke through the Hongmeng, he opened up the distinction between purity and turbidity.
Encourage all sentient beings to look up to the Supreme Benevolence and discover that all things will be good.
If you want to know about the Yuan Gong of Creation Hui, you must read "Journey to the West"."
In rural areas, there are no books for little people, so Wang Manyin’s Journey to the West, which he has read so many times, finally comes in handy. Mao Dan has been smart since he was a child, and Wang Manyin speaks in vernacular. Even if he wants to use the original work, except for a few classic poems, he also remembers other
Don't stop it. Mao Dan can naturally understand it, but Gou Dan can just listen to the fun.
When talking about the Monkey holding the stone in the Dragon Palace to borrow the treasure, Lanhua came back and was very happy to see that Wang Manyin did not throw the child to the neighbors and did not run away at home.
"Mother!"
"Mom, you're back!"
When the two children saw their biological mother coming back, they immediately pounced on her. Their biological mother was still closer than Wang Manyin, their father who they didn't see very often.
"Wait a minute, let me wash my face and then go cook for you?" Lanhua touched the two children and then said.
"Lanhua, you've washed your face, and you should take a rest first. You've been tired all day. There are steamed steamed buns of Erhe noodles and a bowl of braised pork with pickled vegetables on the stove."
Originally Wang Manyin was very lazy, and she was used to it by Lanhua. Not only did she cook, but she also wanted to be fed to her mouth. When she was at home, she didn't care about any household chores. Lanhua would come back to cook after work.
The reason why the Sun family has such strong opinions on Wang Manyin is that Wang Manyin is too lazy.
No one doubted that Wang Manyin could cook. Wang Manyin's mother would have starved to death for several years before she married Lanhua.
Wang Manyin cooked a meal, and Lan Hua's eyes turned red with emotion: "Man Yin, you don't need to cook, just rest at home and wait until I come back to cook." This woman is too easy to be satisfied, as long as Wang Manyin stays at home and doesn't run away.
.
"Okay, it's not like I have nothing to do at home these days, so I just did it. After a few days, I will go out to work in the mountains to earn cents. I will leave all the housework to you, and you will still cook the meals."
Regarding going out of the mountain, Wang Manyin still wanted to communicate with Lanhua first.
"How can you do the work in the fields or leave the mountains with your body? You should stay at home. As long as you don't go out and run around, I will be satisfied!"
Wang Manyin: “…”
Although this body is indeed not strong, it is in the prime of life, and it has not even reached the average of adult men, but it is still better than teenagers. Rural children have been working in the fields since they were teenagers, but they have never done it.
Farm work will be unbearable at first.
"It's okay. I can ask the captain to arrange an easy job. I don't want to get a centimeter for strong labor."
"Then I'll go out with you and earn cents. In a few years, our family will be able to pay off its foreign debts and live a prosperous life."
"That's not necessary. We still have a lot of housework at home, and our two children are out of the house. Who will take care of them?"
"I can do these things by myself, and the children can go out with me in the mountains. I will go to work and the children will play in the fields."
It had always been like this before. When the children were younger, they would just carry Lan Hua on their backs, which made it difficult for Wang Manyin to refute.
"We'll see what happens when I get out of the mountain." Lanhua regards men as her heaven, and Wang Manyin insists that Lanhua agree, but Wang Manyin still hopes that Lanhua can really understand.
"The captain said today that the village will allocate pig feed land." Lanhua said again.
“Our family doesn’t raise pigs, why should we be given a pig feed plot?”
"We have been given a pig feed land, and we will raise pigs."
Originally assigned the task of raising pigs, Wang Manyin's family enjoyed the care of the village again.
In order to ensure the city's pork supply, the state has arranged pig-raising tasks. Members of about two households were required to hand in a fat pig. At this time, there was no pig feed, and it would take almost a year to raise a pig to meet the purchase standard.
Although the state does not buy it for free, raising pigs can make money. For rural areas, raising a fat pig and selling it at the end of the year is a good thing. Not only will it provide money, but depending on the situation in different places, it will also subsidize food, cloth stamps, and industrial papers.
But in the situation in northern Shaanxi, people don't have enough to eat, so raising pigs has become a burden. In order to feed the pigs less food and make a profit from raising pigs, someone needs to collect pig grass to feed the pigs.
I still have to say that rural people are kind and simple. Wang Manyin's family is in a special situation. Wang Manyin doesn't have a home, so he only has to do housework, take care of the children, go to work, and cut firewood. He really doesn't have the ability.
As for raising pigs, the Wang Manyin family was not assigned the task of raising pigs.
Now that the pig feed land was being divided, Wang Manyin thought it was an opportunity to keep the orchid at home.
"Okay, we will also raise pigs this year. I will go to work, and Lanhua, you can stay at home and raise pigs. The pig manure can still be used. By the end of the year, the pigs will be sold for more than 100 yuan, and our family will be able to pay off its foreign debt this year."
"Man Yin, are you really not going out this year? You raise pigs. If you go out again, I really can't take care of you by myself." Lanhua asked with a frown. She still didn't believe Wang Manyin because she said this too much.
Many times.
"I really don't want to go out anymore. I was arrested and sent to a labor camp at the construction site. I learned a lesson."
