The Yu family's meal today was pretty solid, with 6 dishes for 5 people.
I stewed a carp and a braised pork, which are two hard dishes.
Vinegar-fried musu and meat stir-fried with chili peppers are two stir-fried dishes.
Peanuts and tofu mixed with green onions are two dishes that go well with wine.
Liquor Moutai, real beer.
Aunt Wang's cooking skills are quite good, and the food she prepares is both delicious and delicious. The standards of today's food and drinks are basically what the Yu family has to offer during the holidays even if they are well off.
What era!
If you have money, you have to hide your wealth. Who dares to show off their wealth?
I have seen many seniors who have traveled through time to this era, eating plenty of meat and fish every day, and even deliberately coveting the neighbors in the courtyard, those beasts in clothes.
It's pure nonsense. The backhand was just a report and didn't run away at all.
Everyone's monthly meat coupons are rationed. If your salary is high, it won't be a big deal if you exceed it occasionally, but if you eat meat every day and speculate, that is not a definite fact.
Exchanging money for meat tickets is called speculation.
Eating meat every day is like eating arsenic for a long-lived person.
Comrade Xiao Du has been spending money lavishly recently, which can be explained by the fact that Comrade Lao Du saved a lot of money for him during his lifetime. Once he goes to work and repairs the house, Xiao Du will start to be lazy.
Comrade Xiao Du stopped drinking beer after just one glass. Although the wheat aroma is quite mellow and rare, drinking warm beer in summer is really not enjoyable.
Isn’t the 1963 Moutai delicious?
During the meal, Yu Moli changed her usual playful demeanor and became more ladylike. She occasionally glanced at Xiao Du and then lowered her head to eat without even drinking a sip of wine.
I don’t know who it was, but on the way back from drinking beer, she said she was thirsty, so she directly held a military water bottle to her mouth and drank half a pound of it. She knew how to drink, and her alcohol capacity was quite good.
The whole family felt it was awkward to pretend to be a lady, but everyone knew what was going on and no one exposed her.
During the dinner, Yu Zhengmin asked Xiao Du about his work, and Aunt Wang asked about Xiao Du's partner.
There is not much to say about work. I will report to the factory tomorrow and learn everything from scratch.
However, with Jiang Dongfang supporting him at the top, and Chief Hao at the bottom, he was Lao Du's 6-year veteran, so it wouldn't be too uncomfortable no matter what.
Regarding the target, Comrade Xiao Du was very categorical. He would focus on work within a year or two and would not consider it for the time being.
When Yu Moli heard what Xiao Du said, she felt happy and disappointed at the same time. The sense of immersion was so strong.
Du Weiguo did mean to tell Aunt Wang and Yu Moli this. Don't get me wrong, it's not good.
Whether it is Zhao Yingnan or Yu Moli, although they are both great beauties, one looks like Xin Zhilei and the other looks like Bai Lu, they are really not Xiao Du's cup of tea.
Zhao Yingnan is still unbearable, but Yu Moli is completely immune.
Again, the characteristics of his profession in his previous life were immune to beautiful women. Comrade Xiao Du has his own aesthetic standards and preferences, and he can still endure loneliness now.
During the meal, Comrade Lao Yu fanned himself with the sandalwood fan given by Xiao Du while eating. He was a little fat and drinking some wine would make him warmer.
Yu Huaihai also directly pinned the new pen to his shirt pocket, which was very coquettish.
Yu Moli had always been a carefree and straightforward person, but now she was almost too embarrassed to be ashamed, so she asked directly.
"Brother Wei Guo, my dad has a fan, my mom and my brother all have pens, why don't I have anything?"
"Yes, I forgot to give it to you when I got distracted just now."
Comrade Xiao Du really forgot about it. He quickly took out three handkerchiefs from his bag. One of them was a bit hard to get hold of.
"Jasmine, three handkerchiefs of different colors can be used interchangeably according to your mood. Is this a good gift?"
"Ah, it's so beautiful. I like it very much. It's simple and generous. Thank you, Brother Wei Guo."
"You're welcome."
Xiao Du learned his lesson and did not dare to joke again.
"Xiao Du, you can't spend money lavishly in the future. These three handkerchiefs cost several dollars."
Aunt Wang is online.
"Yes, you are right, Aunt Wang, but I haven't been back for six years. I will not spend money randomly in the future."
"Well, that's pretty much it. I heard from Huaihai that you also helped a family?"
While everyone was eating and drinking, Comrade Xiao Du told Aunt Wang and Yu Moli the story of how Niuniu, now called Zuo Lan, met.
Women are all emotional beings, and Xiao Du's story-telling skills were pretty good, which made Aunt Wang's eyes red and Yu Moli shed tears.
"Aunt Wang, I will go to Zuojia Commune after dinner at our house later. I will go to work tomorrow. I really won't have time to see her for a while, so I am a little worried about her."
"Xiao Du, I still have some pieces of new cloth and some rice at home. You can bring them to Niu Niu later."
"No, Aunt Wang, I have prepared enough food for them for a quarter, and I have also made them a new set of clothes. I also left a piece of cloth, but I won't use it for the time being."
"You know what? What I gave you is the quilt cover and curtain fabric. They are all leftover. Just take them. It's a little bit of kindness from auntie to Niu Niu."
"Brother Wei Guo, I still have two bags of candy and a few clothes from my childhood. You can also bring them to Niu Niu. I want to see her when she comes to the city."
"Sure, I'll definitely take her to play with you. She's so good."
Yu Zhengmin didn't say anything. He had come from the war years and had seen too many tragedies in the world. He couldn't say that he had a heart of steel, but it didn't move his face.
At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Comrade Xiao Du came out of Yu Huaihai's house and looked at the large package on the back seat of the car with a wry smile.
Yu Moli dug out all her childhood clothes, including those quilts and fabrics stuffed by Aunt Wang.
Although they are not expensive things, in this era, these things are also rare things that everyone fights for in rural areas.
Originally I wanted to do a favor, but ended up taking good cigarettes, tea, and a big bag of clothes and fabrics, and I owed another favor.
It’s the hardest thing to repay a favor!
Okay, let's take it slow in the future, the days are still long, let's see what happens.
Xiao Du rode his bicycle to Zuojiazhuang. It was around three o'clock in the afternoon, which was the hottest time, and there were not many people in the village.
They haven't been here for three days, so no one should bully them.
When we arrived at Zuo's wife's house, the door was open and there was no one in the yard, so we pushed the cart into the yard.
Xiao Du went directly to the north room and knocked on the door.
"Auntie, Niuniu, I am Du Weiguo, are you at home?"
"Brother! My brother is here!"
Niu Niu's cheers were heard outside the door. Within two seconds, Niu Niu pushed open the door and flew into Du Weiguo's arms.
"Brother, why are you here?"
"Well, I will go to work tomorrow. I will take the time to come over and see you today."
At this time, Aunt Zuo also came out. Her smile was a little forced, and there was a woman beside her. She had high cheekbones and thin lips, and she was dressed neatly. Xiao Du had never seen her before.
The woman repeatedly looked at Comrade Xiao Du's clothes, the bicycle in the yard, and the packages on the back seat, and then said goodbye to Aunt Zuo and left.
"Auntie, who is she?"
"Brother, she wants to recognize me as her daughter. I don't like her. Her children used to call me a bastard."
"Auntie, what's going on?"
"Xiao Du, come into the room and talk."
Comrade Xiao Du took the package off the back seat of his bicycle, followed Aunt Zuo, and walked into the house holding Niuniu's hand.
Over the course of a few days, the smell of paint faded away, and the house was tidied up and looked good.
