It was late at night, but some people did not calm down.
The moon quietly climbed over the eaves of the courtyard, and a rustling sound came from the room.
Creak~
Creak~
It was dark inside the house, and the sound of the wooden frame bed swaying came from the far south.
The third aunt who was sleeping on the same bed was suddenly disturbed by the noise and couldn't sleep. She said impatiently, "I said, if you can't sleep, go out and spread hysteria! Why are you tossing in the room at night? Are you full after eating?
"
"Hey, forget it, I'm still full. I'm so hungry that I can't sleep!" the third uncle said angrily, and then turned over again.
"What's going on? Didn't you go to Lao Yi's house for dinner? The aunt is so kind to his nephew, and he has chickens and ducks. Is it possible that he hasn't cooked them even after buying them? This can't be done, Lao Yi is not that stingy.
People!" said the third aunt.
The third uncle said in a muffled voice, "I've made eight dishes, including chicken, duck, and fish. There are two eggs in the spinach. The steamed buns are also steamed in a large grate, and they are all white."
"Such luxury? Isn't that great? Why aren't you full? Oh... you're just showing off your feelings to me, right? You're so full that you're so full, get out!"
The third aunt was already annoyed at the end, so she had a delicious meal outside and came back to stimulate her.
"I'm full, I was full at the time, I was so full!" the third uncle said in a muffled voice.
Listening to his tone, the third aunt also felt that her wife was really hungry, so she asked curiously, "Are you full? It's delicious, but you can't be like this. What's going on?"
call!
Taking a deep breath, the third uncle said, "He's not his eldest nephew yet."
The third aunt said, "Well, I know, I looked at him for a long time during the day, but I have never seen such a tall person."
"That boy is Lu Zhishen, who is responsible for food intake and food intake when he is still alive!" The third uncle sighed aloud.
The third aunt slapped him in the face and said, "Speak humanly!"
The third uncle rolled his eyes, "Uncultured!"
"Are you educated? You haven't had enough to eat!" The third aunt immediately became unhappy.
I only took a few bites of the food on the table and watched the whole thing. The third uncle got angry thinking, "If you are there and you can't eat enough, do you know how much that kid can eat? Lao Yi will soon be the same."
The richest person in the yard!"
"Tell me carefully," the third aunt said quickly.
The third uncle curled his lips and smiled, "Hey, you haven't seen me, so just tell me, how many steamed buns can we steam in one pot?"
The third aunt thought for a moment and said, "Our pot is relatively large. It can be placed in two layers. One layer can hold more than a dozen of them, and there can be nearly thirty. What's wrong, why do you ask?"
The third uncle said helplessly: "Why do I ask? That boy has three buns for each person, and it depends on the pot! Our family steams small steamed buns, which can be thirty, while his aunt steams larger steamed buns, which are twelve.
Three freshly baked steamed buns, each one was white and fat, one weighed almost a pound, and he ate them all by himself!"
The third aunt was shocked and said: "Eat it all? Isn't this possible? Are you lying to me? The six members of our family can't eat that much in one meal!"
The third uncle rolled his eyes: "Lied to you? Am I going to lie to you about this kind of thing? He eats much more than our family alone. You just count the steamed buns, and what about the vegetables! Even chicken and duck
Not all of them were stewed at once, it was a big bowl with eight dishes! Not even a bit of soup was left! I estimate that the six of us, that is, the deaf old lady and the boy were full!"
"This... this is so delicious. The steamed buns alone cost ten kilograms, right? There are also vegetables, how much do you need to eat?" Third Aunt murmured, she still didn't believe that someone could eat so much.
The third uncle sighed and said: "I don't know how many things there are. Anyway, he didn't stop the whole process. At the end, he patted his round belly and burped."
The third aunt said with some fear: "If you can eat it, how much does this meal cost?"
The third uncle tilted his head and said angrily: "Forget it, why do you think I haven't eaten enough? It depends on one factor. The main reason is that I calculate how much food he has eaten, and I feel so sick in my heart."
It just hurts.”
The third aunt couldn't help but muttered, "We usually burp when we are full. If we are full by two points less, today's food is much more delicious. Those steamed buns and vegetables must be at least seventeen or eighty percent."
Jin, he has to eat more than ten kilograms in this meal."
"One kilogram of stick noodles costs seven cents, and even ten kilograms costs seven cents. If you eat less in the morning, it costs one yuan and eighty a day. If you add four cents of water to the noodles, it costs one yuan and three. But the old Yi family must
Not only do you have to eat stick noodles, but you also have to eat vegetables, which costs at least seventy yuan a month."
"Lao Yi's salary is ninety-nine, and the couple only has eight yuan a month for food expenses. This month, they only have thirteen or four yuan left. If his eldest nephew comes over, Lao Yi will be immediately poor!"
The third uncle echoed: "Who says it's not the case? I sat there and calculated this account, and I got goosebumps all over my body. How can I still eat? I asked, is there still food at home?"
The third aunt rolled her eyes and said, "Where is the food? I knew you were going out to eat, so I didn't cook much. We all finished."
"You go and make me something? I just lost my drunkenness and couldn't sleep. It's really uncomfortable to be hungry." The third uncle said softly.
"If you don't go, what are you going to cook after ordering this? Rice, noodles, and firewood don't cost anything? I said you shouldn't eat either. Just bear with it for a while. It will be daybreak. If you can't sleep, just lie down. I still have to sleep.
"Yeah." The third aunt refused directly.
The third uncle curled his lips and tilted his head. He calculated in his mind that restarting the stove would indeed cost more money, and it would still be more than the budget. He moved forward for a moment, preparing to close his eyes and sleep for a while.
But a person who wakes up drunk in the middle of the night is destined to find it difficult to fall asleep again. He can only survive these few hours with difficulty.
They weren't the only ones who didn't fall asleep.
The east wing of the central courtyard.
"Old man, are you asleep?" the eldest mother turned over and asked.
The uncle opened his eyes and looked at the sleepy roof, and then replied: "I was asleep, but you woke me up."
The eldest mother said worriedly: "I said you can sleep, but what do you think we will do in the future?"
The old man said casually: "Let's go through whatever we have to do!"
The eldest mother said angrily: "Why don't you think about the future? Chuanzong's kid has such a big appetite, eating stick noodles can make people poor. We just want him to eat, what about this ticket? Every month
Tickets are rationed, and if you exceed the limit, you have to buy it on the black market. We have considered this issue before, so we let him stay in the village. One family cannot afford to support him."
The old man just smiled.
Hearing this, the aunt became even more angry. She stabbed him hard and said, "You can still laugh. Are you not worried at all?"
The first man replied: "What are you worried about? I have already considered these issues. Although he eats a lot, he is also very strong. You don't know what kind of work he is like in the village. One can do the job of three! You can
Seeing that he is tired? There are jobs for him to work hard, but after all, they have no future and are unstable. That’s why I want him to join the factory. Let him try it first!"
The aunt said hesitantly: "I'm not saying he's stupid, but it's hard to say in the factory. He has to earn at least 60 yuan a month to support himself. Then he has to be a level five fitter. What if he can't do it?
What? You can get 500 yuan to enter the factory through some connections, so why don’t you go in for nothing?"
The uncle stared blankly at the roof and said, "Let's take a look first. If it doesn't work out, just join the army. He will be in charge of food in the army. He also has such a physique. If he performs well, can he be treated badly by the superiors?"
"That's easy to say. He's already twenty years old. How can he be a soldier so easily?" The aunt felt that it was not very reliable.
The first uncle was also a little unsure, but he would not tell his wife. He just said perfunctorily: "The car must have a road to the mountain, let's talk about it later! Our family has also saved a lot of money. Director Yang and I also have
The directors of our subdistrict all know each other, but if we don’t find a way to do it then, we won’t be able to serve as soldiers in Sijiu City. It’s easier in other places. It’s getting late now, so go to bed early, I have to go to work tomorrow.”
The aunt didn't speak, the room fell into silence, and it was unclear whether the two of them could sleep.
