These days, people's living conditions are generally not good, but most people like to mingle, that is, relatives, friends, and neighbors gather together to work, chat, chat, and eat and drink.
However, due to constraints, most families eat and drink mainly with men. Most of the side dishes that are cooked to go with wine are vegetarian. This is called the vegetable that goes with wine.
As for eating and drinking, apart from red and white affairs, few people can afford it at this time.
But Wang Meilan is not an ordinary person!
Wang Meilan felt a little disappointed when she heard that pigs could not be killed. But when she heard Zhao Jun talk about killing donkeys, she immediately became energetic and said to Zhao Jun: "Donkey meat is delicious! Mom, I'm a little kid, you kid.
Grandma made us steamed dumplings stuffed with donkey meat, and put onions in there. After steaming, the onions melted into the dumplings, and when you bite them open... oh, tsk, there's a burst of soup, and when it's finished, it's just meat and eggs." Seeing that it was time for dinner, Zhao Jun's stomach was empty and he had an appetite. After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Zhao Jun couldn't help but lick his lips.
"And the donkey intestines!" Wang Meilan raised her head slightly, as if recalling, and said: "It's not the same as fat intestines. Why do you think that stuff is so delicious?"
"Mom, Mom!" Zhao Jun responded quickly. He stopped Wang Meilan and said, "Mom, stop nagging, we don't have donkeys at home."
"Ah..." Wang Meilan blinked twice, seemingly even more disappointed!
But at this moment, the dogs outside suddenly started barking, and the dogs from both families barked extremely fiercely!
Someone is coming!
Logically speaking, if the visitor was an acquaintance, the dog would not bite like this!
So, Wang Meilan strode towards the door. But as soon as she opened the door, she saw a person walking in from the courtyard door.
"Qiangzi!" When Wang Meilan saw that it was her brother Wang Qiang, she was still thinking that these dogs should know Wang Qiang, so why did they bite him like this? But when she took a closer look, Wang Meilan was happy.
I saw Wang Qiang dragging a big roe deer inside. It was precisely because of the smell of the roe deer that the dogs of the Zhao and Li families were so excited.
"Hahahaha..." Wang Meilan was happy and ran all the way to meet Wang Qiang.
Seeing Wang Meilan coming, Wang Qiang didn't move forward. He loosened the hind legs of the two roe deer he was dragging, threw the roe deer on the ground, and said: "Okay, sister, I'll throw the roe deer here for you, I'm going back!" "Hey!" Wang Meilan grabbed Wang Qiang and said, "Brother, what are you going to do? Leave sister here to eat the badger meat from our family."
While saying this, Wang Meilan tilted her head and looked at the big roe deer behind Wang Qiang's feet.
This big roe deer is not small, weighing eighty or ninety pounds. It is a big male roe deer, with horns about 20 centimeters long on its head. The top three centimeters of the horns are soft, and the lower part has been calcified.
"No way!" Wang Qiang said: "You have given us meat, and your brothers and sisters are also leaving home!"
After peeling the badgers today, more than a hundred kilograms of badger meat came out. Wang Meilan gave some to each of Wang Qiang, Lin Xiangshun, and Zhao Guofeng.
After Wang Qiang finished speaking, he saw that Wang Meilan's eyes were not on him. He followed Wang Meilan's gaze and looked behind him, and immediately smiled and said: "Sister, my nephew doesn't usually hunt roe deer, does he?"
This is indeed true. Zhao Jun often hunts dogs, but dogs can only chase roe deer in the beginning of spring. At other times, if he wants to hunt roe deer, he has to escape the siege.
"Yeah!" Wang Meilan nodded heavily and said: "We will have guests tomorrow (qiě). I asked you to kill a pig, but your nephew wouldn't let me. That's just right. You can get the roe deer."
"Kill the pig?" Wang Qiang was startled, thinking that it has only been a few days since the killing was completed? Why do we still need to kill the pig?
"Well!" Wang Meilan pointed to the back of the room and said: "Xiaojun went up the mountain with them today, caught three wild boars, and sent the old sows to Chun'er. There are still two yellow-haired pigs left, and I told you to kill one for the guests who come tomorrow.
He refused and insisted on giving gifts."
"Xiaojun is giving you a gift. It's because of something." Wang Qiang heard this and said hurriedly: "I'm going to hunt two roe deer today. Since there are so many people here, I'll get you a big one. We also have a small one, forty years old."
Lai Jin'er, we have a visitor at home. I'll bring that to you tomorrow morning, so don't kill the pig."
"No need." Wang Meilan waved her hand, looked away from the roe deer, and smiled at Wang Qiang: "Just one person, this roe deer is enough!"
"Ah, that's okay." Wang Qiang responded casually, and then asked: "Sister, what kind of guest are you here?"
"Oh!" When Wang Qiang asked, Wang Meilan blinked and said, "What's your name..."
Just now Zhao Jun told her that there was a guest at home, and Wang Meilan was thinking about tomorrow's menu. As for the specific name of the guest, Wang Meilan really didn't remember it.
At this time, Zhao Jun, who was changing clothes in the room, saw Wang Qiang coming through the window and hurriedly came out of the room.
As soon as Zhao Jun went out, he called "uncle".
Wang Meilan turned around and greeted Zhao Jun, saying: "Come, tell your uncle, what is the purpose of that visitor tomorrow?"
After hearing what Wang Meilan said, Wang Qiang also looked at Zhao Jun curiously.
"Uncle!" Zhao Jun remembered something and asked Wang Qiang, "Do you know Huang Gui?"
"Huang Gui?" Wang Qiang frowned slightly and seemed to be thinking for a while before asking Zhao Jun: "Are you from Lingnan?"
"Yes!" Zhao Jun nodded and said: "He and Jiang Ming of Yongsheng Village are connected, but they are not close relatives."
"Ah!" Wang Qiang nodded twice and said, "I know him, but I haven't seen him for many years."
Speaking of this, Wang Qiang suddenly reacted and asked Zhao Jun: "What's going on? Is he coming tomorrow?"
"Yeah!" Zhao Jun responded, but Wang Qiang said again: "Jun, why do you still know him?"
"Come, come!" Before Zhao Jun could answer, Wang Meilan called to Wang Qiang and said, "Stop standing outside, let's go inside, and you can eat here in the evening."
After talking to Wang Qiang, Wang Meilan said to Zhao Jun: "Son, drag this roe deer into the house. When your aunt, your sister-in-law, I, and I finish eating, the three of us will be eaten by it."
Zhao Jun agreed, but Wang Qiang waved his hand and said: "No, sister. Your brother and sister are staying at home to cook. I'm going out for a while. If I don't go back now, why can't she look for me?"
"She can't!" Wang Meilan grabbed Wang Qiang's arm and dragged him into the house while laughing: "If she sees you don't go back, she will know that you left me here to eat!"
"Yes, uncle!" Zhao Jun pulled the two hind thighs of the roe deer and said with a smile: "You can eat here and drink with my father and the others. Who will accompany you when you go home?" p>
The two women dragged Wang Qiang and Roe Deer into the house, followed closely by the old lady.
Today, when Wang Meilan delivered badger meat to those three families, she also stopped by Jiang's house and told the old lady to come for dinner in the evening.
This old man is old, and he doesn’t pay much attention to his meals. It’s easy to choose and cook simply. So if you bring meat to the old lady and let her cook it by herself, it’s better to cook it and let her eat it, so it’s more lively when there are many people.<
/p>
Originally, according to Wang Meilan's idea, the old lady came back with her. But the old lady insisted that she had embroidered two pillows for Zhao Jun, and she was about to close the edges. She insisted on finishing the edges, and then took the pillows and put them on
Zhao Jun’s house is here.
Wang Meilan couldn't resist the old lady, so she had to come back first.
At this time, the old lady came in with a small red cloth bag, and was welcomed into the back room by Wang Meilan. The old lady opened the cloth bag and saw that the two pillows were red, one was embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, and the other was embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water. p>
The old lady's craftsmanship was really good, which attracted everyone's admiration. When Wang Meilan put away the pillow, the old lady took Zhao Jun's hand and said to Zhao Jun: "Little one, has your Aunt Liu done something for you?" p>
"Ah!" Zhao Jun heard this and said hurriedly: "It's done, it's done."
At this time, Wang Meilan, who was putting the pillow into the box, turned around and said to the old lady: "Auntie, listen to my sister, are you angry with her?"
The old lady turned her face and said, pretending to be angry: "If I don't anger her, she won't take care of things for us either? I looked at her several times. She and that boy from the old Gu family are nowhere to be seen."<
/p>
"Haha..." Wang Meilan smiled when she heard the words, sat sideways next to the old lady, and said: "Don't worry, our military affairs are almost done. Now we just wait for Youcai and their forest farm to stop being busy.
The two families will get together for a while, and the gifts and other things will be handed over, and then it will be over!"
"Ah!" After hearing what Wang Meilan said, the old lady nodded slowly, but suddenly remembered something, patted Wang Meilan's hand again, grabbed it and said: "My dear, you haven't been fucked yet, right?"
"Ah..." Wang Meilan was startled and didn't know how to answer the question for a moment. She knew that the old lady was good to Zhao Jun, but making quilts was different from embroidering pillows. There was nothing wrong with embroidering pillows, but not making quilts.
A woman must have given birth to a son before she can follow suit. And this old lady has no children...
But the old lady wasn't confused either. She squeezed Wang Meilan's hand and said, "I can't get started on making the quilt. But you have to hold on tight. Once it's done, you can just leave it there."
.If you really don’t make the trip then, what can you do?”
"Yes, yes." Wang Meilan responded repeatedly: "After the ceremony, I will make the quilt!"
"Hey!" The old lady let go of Wang Meilan's hand, then patted the back of Wang Meilan's hand and said with a smile: "That's right!"
"Oh my God!" Zhao Jun suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to Wang Meilan: "My Aunt Zhou said that when you are going to make quilts, you can send her a message and she and my sister will come over."
"Oh!" When Wang Meilan heard this, her eyes lit up and she said, "That's okay, let your sister come back and stay for a few days!"
Making quilt is a big deal, but Wang Meilan also misses her daughter. Since Zhao Chun got married, she has not returned to her parents' home to live. If she can take this opportunity to get Zhao Chun to come back and stay for a few days, Wang Meilan will have to cook something delicious for her eldest daughter.
!
At this time, Wang Qiang interjected: "There is also his aunt."
"Yes!" Wang Meilan nodded and said with a smile: "There are also Xiaomei and Shunzi's wife."
"Auntie!" As soon as Wang Meilan finished speaking, Yang Yufeng answered: "I can't follow you to make quilts for your brothers, but I will come over when the time comes and I will cook for you!"
"Okay!" Upon hearing that everyone wanted to contribute, Wang Meilan suddenly looked forward to the days of quilting.
But at this time, Zhang Yuanmin actually joined in and said to everyone: "His sister-in-law can't reach out this time, but she can next time!"
"Huh?" Zhang Yuanmin's words made everyone confused. Everyone knows that "his sister-in-law" in Zhang Yuanmin's mouth refers to Zhao Jun's sister-in-law, that is, Yang Yufeng.
But what does this time and next time mean?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zhang Yuanmin announced to everyone: "We, a couple, are planning to have another boy!"
"Oops!" As soon as Zhang Yuanmin finished speaking, the old lady raised her hand to gesture to Zhang Yuanmin and said, "That's good. You two are not very old, so hurry up and get one while you're young!"
These days, the older people are, the more they favor sons over daughters. This is especially true for childless people like old ladies!
"Yes, yes!" After hearing the old lady's approval of his words, Zhang Yuanmin nodded and said: "I think so too, I even thought of my son's name!"
"What's your name?" Wang Meilan asked cooperatively.
"Huh?" Just when Zhang Yuanmin was about to answer, Jie Chen suddenly pulled Zhang Yuanmin. When Zhang Yuanmin was interrupted, he turned around, still a little unhappy.
But I heard Xie Chen say: "Brother Zhang, if you want a few boys from my sister-in-law, my brother Jun won't be able to do it again!"
Yes, how many more times can Zhao Jun get married?
Perhaps in twenty or thirty years, nothing will be easier than getting married or divorced, but at this moment, marriage is no joke!
"Oh my god!" Yang Yufeng slapped Zhang Yuanmin on the back first and scolded: "Why do you say everything?"
"That's right!" Jin Xiaomei, who had just reacted, waved her hands and said, "Don't say this nonsense!"
Immediately afterwards, everyone denounced Zhang Yuanmin, leaving him no chance to reveal the name of his future son.
……
When the big clock on the wall rang, it was already six o'clock. At this time, the forest farm had already finished get off work, and the badger meat in Zhao Jun's pot was also ready.
Wang Meilan took Jin Xiaomei and Yang Yufeng to the outhouse, took the badger meat out of the pot, chopped the badger's neck, ribs, and spine into pieces, and put it into the pot to stew with the radish.
After stewing for about ten minutes, the vegetables and soup were put into a basin.
Then, stir-fry the torn badger leg meat with green onions. Next is the chicken, shaved tofu, stir-fry three slices, and black and white vegetables.
There are four dishes and one soup. There are not many dishes, but the dishes are huge.
But Wang Meilan was still not satisfied, so she added canned luncheon meat and canned fish, and changed it to six dishes and one soup.
At this time, the commuter train had arrived at the station, and the commuting workers got off the train one after another and rushed home.
When Zhang Laifa returned home, he heard his elder brother Zhang Laibao's curses coming from inside as soon as he arrived at the door.
As Zhang Laifa walked into the house, he understood clearly that Zhang Laibao was scolding the Zhao and Li families.
When he saw Zhang Laifa come back, Zhang Laibao stopped cursing, and Xu Meihua came over and whispered to Zhang Laifa: "Old man, come and persuade your brother..."
"I don't need to persuade you!" Zhang Laibao, who was lying on the kang, yelled: "I'm not done with them!"
"Alas!" Xu Meihua sighed heavily, shook her head and said to Zhang Laibao: "Son, Mom has thought about it, as long as you two can be fine. Let's live our lives, why should we argue with them? What?
Use it?"
An accident last month destroyed Xu Meihua's spirit. Zhang Zhanshan, the backbone of her family, died, and her eldest son Zhang Laibao died. He will not even be able to marry a wife in the future. Now the family can only rely on fourteen-year-old Zhang Laifa to support her. In such days
Why are you arguing with the Zhao and Li families?
It can be said that if it were not for her two sons, Xu Meihua would have wanted to follow Zhang Zhanshan.
However, the injured Zhang Laibao's heart became more sinister and darker than before. He leaned on the kang to support his body and swore through gritted teeth: "I, Zhang Laibao, will kill them all if I don't! Or I will cut off my descendants!" Xu Meihua: "..."
Zhang Laifa: "..."
As the two closest relatives of Zhang Laibao, Xu Meihua and Zhang Laifa couldn't help but want to complain.
What's the point of swearing this oath? You have to make a plan to cut off your descendants?
