Zhang Yuanmin cried, which made Zhao Jun feel very uncomfortable. He was a filial son. Not only was he filial to his father, but he also took care of his mother-in-law's medical expenses. When he was lying on the kang, he even let the doctor from the health center chase him for money. p>
A penny can stump a heroic man, not to mention that most people are not heroes.
At this time, I heard the sound of the door opening coming from the outhouse, and then I heard Wang Meilan say: "My son is back?"
Zhang Yuanmin quickly pulled up his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes, pretending that nothing was wrong.
"Ah, are the aid coming?" Wang Meilan came in and saw that Zhang Yuanmin and Li Baoyu were there, but Li Baoyu was just like her own children, so she only greeted Zhang Yuanmin.
"Old aunt."
"I just went to change the tofu and dried tofu in the morning. You and Baoyu will eat it at home later."
When Zhao Jun left home yesterday morning, Wang Meilan was taking Zhao Youcai to pick soybeans. After picking them, they took them to the tofu shop to exchange for some dry tofu and soybean curd.
It wasn't like winter now, and the soy products couldn't be stored anymore, so she didn't change too much. After getting it back, she first gave some to Wang Qiang's family, and just now she went to give some to Jin Xiaomei.
"It's terrible, old aunt." Zhang Yuanmin got down from the kang and said to Wang Meilan, "I'm going back first. Is there still work at home?"
"What work do you have? At this time?" Wang Meilan thought he was declining.
But I heard Zhang Yuanmin say: "My wife and I are making baskets at home, and we will be picking wild vegetables in a while. By the way, aunt, I just told my brother that you should not go picking wild vegetables this year. Wait until we are married."
Whatever you are picking, just get some for your family and that’s it.”
"That's okay." Wang Meilan was very happy after hearing Zhang Yuanmin's words, and immediately said: "I just have something to do this year, so I won't go." After saying that, Wang Meilan turned and walked to the outhouse, talking as she walked.
: "Then you have to go back and Auntie will get you something!"
"Auntie, don't take it..." Zhang Yuanmin knew that Wang Meilan wanted to bring him soybean curd and dried tofu, but he was stopped by Zhao Jun just as he was about to refuse.
"Brother." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "My mother wants to get it for you, so just take it. It can't be saved at this time, so let's share it."
Hearing what Zhao Jun said, Zhang Yuanmin did not refuse. The three of them came out of the room together and saw that Wang Meilan had quickly separated the tofu and dried tofu and put them each in a basin. She said to Zhang Yuanmin: "Pan."
You have to bring it back to me."
Zhang Yuanmin laughed, picked up a basin with one hand, then turned the basin with one hand, pushed the other side on his waist, and then said to Wang Meilan: "Auntie, I'm going back."
"Go back." Wang Meilan responded, then pointed at Zhao Jun and said: "Hurry up and open the door for your elder brother."
Zhao Jun heard this and quickly pushed the door open.
Seeing Zhang Yuanmin going out, Li Baoyu also said goodbye and left.
After seeing the two of them off, Zhao Jun came back and saw Wang Meilan cutting soybean tofu in front of the pot.
"Mom, don't be busy yet." Zhao Jun held Wang Meilan's arm and asked her to put down the kitchen knife.
When Wang Meilan heard her son calling her, she quickly wiped her hands and followed Zhao Jun into the house.
Going to the back room, Zhao Jun took back the nine hundred yuan and handed it to Wang Meilan.
When he was dividing the money just now, he gave Zhang Yuanmin and Li Baoyu ten yuan worth of coins. Now he has many pieces of five yuan left in his hand, and some of them are one yuan or two yuan.
"Did your Uncle Zhao give it to you?" Wang Meilan took the money and asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Zhao Jun nodded and said, "I haven't given you all, but you will have some after a while."
Zhao Jun didn't tell Wang Meilan how much he had sold in total, nor how much Zhao Guofeng would give him later. Wang Meilan didn't ask, just held the money in his hand and stood up to leave.
"Mom, Mom." Zhao Jun hurriedly stopped Wang Meilan.
"What's wrong, son?" Wang Meilan glanced at the money in her hand, then looked at Zhao Jun, and asked, "Do you want money?" As she said that, Wang Meilan handed the money in her hand to Zhao Jun.
Fortunately, Zhao Youcai was not at home, otherwise he would have cried when he saw this scene.
"No, Mom, I don't need money." Zhao Jun pushed Wang Meilan's hand and money back, then pulled Wang Meilan to sit down on the edge of the kang, and asked: "You just told me, Brother Zhang, that you have something to do in the spring.
What are you going to do?"
Wang Meilan was listening to her son with her ears bent. When she finished listening, she suddenly smiled.
Wang Meilan raised her head and was about to talk to Zhao Jun, but she blinked and asked doubtfully: "I was just going to ask, where did you get these new clothes?"
"Hey! Mom, please don't worry about this new cotton-padded jacket. Tell me first what's the matter with you."
Wang Meilan looked at Zhao Jun and said with a smile: "My son is really energetic."
I see my son, it’s all right to listen to this.
But before Zhao Jun asked again, Wang Meilan smiled and said: "Why don't we talk about it that day? Mom has to find a daughter-in-law for you."
"Ah?"
"Ah what?" Wang Meilan became more excited when she said it. She twisted her body, moved her feet up, and got directly onto the kang with her legs crossed. She held up the money in her hand and said to Zhao Jun: "After Mom has arranged the engagement for you, that's all.
I will build a house for you, and after the house is built, I will marry my wife back."
"No..."
"What's wrong?" When she mentioned this, Wang Meilan became happy just thinking about it and couldn't hold back her chatter.
Just listen to her say: "Mom, you are the only son, you just want to see what mom does to you?"
At this point, without Zhao Jun asking, Wang Meilan answered her own question and said: "I will definitely do a good job for you. Now that you have something serious to do, mom is relieved. You earned the money for our family and mom saved it."
Forget it, mom. After building the house and getting married, if there is still some left, mom will buy you a motorcycle."
"Oh my God!" Wang Meilan's generosity shocked Zhao Jun, "Mom, you want to buy a motorcycle... can't we do it?"
"It's going well, why can't it be better?" At this time, Wang Meilan was a little high-spirited, waving the money in her hand, and said: "Our family has to get better and better."
"This..." When Zhao Jun saw my mother like this, he knew that it was useless to say anything. He would hand it over every time he earned money. It was not for anything else. He wanted to save it for Wang Meilan, just in case she became pregnant one day.
If you feel uncomfortable, even if you are sent to the province, you won’t have no money for medical treatment.
But this...
If you want to build five large tile-roofed houses like I said, you will probably have to spend 10,000 yuan in these days.
If you buy another motorcycle, it will cost several thousand...
This doesn’t include marrying a wife, so what else is left of the family’s money?
But when he thought about the bear bile hanging in his barn, Zhao Jun felt relieved again. At the same time, he also thought that he still had to have money. With money, he would not panic when encountering anything.
I don’t know whether it’s because Zhao Jun is making money again, or because he is looking forward to a better life in the future. Wang Meilan is very happy today, and everything he cooks for his family in the evening is delicious.
A large pot full of fried wild boar meat with green onions.
After the Qingming Festival, the sauerkraut is gone, so now wild boar meat can only be eaten stir-fried.
Stewing three slices is a poor people's delicacy in the northeastern mountainous area in this era. The three slices are potato slices, carrot slices, and dried tofu slices, stewed together in the pot.
These three slices are all soft, and the potatoes and carrots are stewed and cooked. Children and the elderly love to eat them.
Then there’s the tofu puffs.
This dish is called home-style tofu in other places. It is to cut the tofu into mahjong pieces, fry it in oil, and finally slide it.
Fried tofu is so addictive these days.
Before he could escape, Zhao Jun and his two younger sisters came to the pot, blowing and eating the fried tofu cubes.
As usual, Wang Meilan didn't want to wait for Zhao Youcai to eat with her, but she set the table and as soon as the food was served, Zhao Youcai came back!
