With Li Ruhai's clothes and demeanor, who doesn't know him, how can anyone imagine that he is the gatekeeper?
Jie Sun was intimidated by Li Ruhai's attire and demeanor. He stood up, held hands with Li Ruhai, and shook his hands up and down in cooperation with Li Ruhai.
"Auntie, why did you arrive before?" Li Ruhai asked again, and Xie Sun said with a little excitement: "I arrived in the afternoon, and I just entered the house at two o'clock. Well, you are..."
Just as Xie Sun was about to ask where Li Ruhai was a cadre, he heard Xie Chen introduce from the side: "This is Ru Hai, the second oldest in my Aunt Li's family."
Jie Sun: "..."
The last time Xie Chen went home, he told his family a lot about the people and things in Yong'an. Among them, the one who left the deepest impression on Xie Sun was none other than Li Ruhai.
He's still a child, he can't become a prince even if he puts on a dragon robe!
Mrs. Xie Sun let go of Li Ruhai's hand and sat down on the edge of the kang. At this time, Li Ruhai turned to the old lady, smiled and nodded: "Mistress Jiang."
"Hey, good boy." The old lady responded with a smile, then suddenly remembered something and asked: "Ruhai, I think (jiǎo) you have to come back with your dad and the others tonight."
"Haha." Li Ruhai chuckled and said, "Jiang Nai, this time I went down the mountain to speak up and help people in need!"
"This kid..." Before Li Ruhai could finish his words, the old lady smiled and patted him on the arm. She was also used to Li Ruhai talking carelessly, so she didn't ask in detail why Li Ruhai came down the mountain.
After all, there was a "distinguished guest" next to her. The old lady was afraid of neglecting to understand Mr. Sun, so she turned around and thought about having a few words with Mr. Sun about Li Ruhai. After all, this child was both interesting and topical.
But when the old lady looked at Xie Sun, she saw that she was picking up a wicker stick from the Kang table. There was also a piece of mutton on the stick. But this piece of mutton was smaller than other pieces of meat and was pure fat.
The meat is almost gone after being grilled.
Jie Sun just saw the "cadre" unexpectedly and threw away the last piece of meat with the sign. Now when she saw that the cadre was a fake, she picked up the meat again.
Seeing the old lady looking at him, Xie Sun immediately explained: "You can't waste it, otherwise it will be in vain."
Seeing his mother like this, Jie Chen couldn't help but regret a little. If he had known this, he wouldn't have brought her here at all!
"Yeah, yeah." The old lady nodded repeatedly, trying not to laugh.
Logically speaking, people of the age of the old lady know how to take good care of food. Not to mention throwing it on the kang table, they can pick up all the rice grains that fall on the floor and stuff them into their mouths.
The old lady wanted to laugh because before serving the mutton skewers, Mrs. Xie Sun had been telling the old lady about her family's situation, saying that her eldest uncle was the deputy section chief of Jiaohe Railway Station, and her second uncle was the manager of the supply and marketing cooperative. What was going on at home?
There was everything to eat, and she would not hesitate to eat anything.
At this time, Zhao Jun and others also entered the house.
As soon as he entered the house, Zhao Jun saw a total of thirteen large enamel plates on two tables in the outer room.
Everything on the plate is hand-cut lamb. The lamb sticks to the plate and really stands upright.
"Oh my God!" Zhao Jun said to Wang Meilan as soon as he came in: "I have burned wood outside, and I will put it in your brazier later."
"Good son!" Wang Meilan glanced around and said with a smile: "It's almost done!"
After saying this, she looked into the room and saw that the clock had reached six o'clock, so she asked everyone to set the table.
The mutton was moved aside first, and the two tables were placed in the east and west rooms respectively. Wang Meilan's custom-made triangular mouth braziers were served on the table. Two braziers were placed on each table to avoid being too crowded to serve.
On the four fire pots, two small copper pots and two small iron pots are placed.
At this time, Yang Yufeng took out the lamb bone soup that had been boiled in advance from the bowl rack and added it to the pot.
Jin Xiaomei, Zhao Ling, Xu Chunyan, and Li Ruhai were busy serving dishes, not to mention mutton, there were thirteen large plates of mutton, seven plates in the west room and six in the east room.
In addition to meat, there are also vegetables.
Although there are no fresh vegetables for sale in the Northeast this season, there are many dishes.
Cut the sauerkraut into shreds and wash it twice in water. Squeeze out the water while kneading it into balls. At this time, the sauerkraut is piled in a small basin.
Chinese cabbage has white leaves and yellow leaves. These yellow leaves are not old leaves, but winter vegetables stored in the Northeast. A large cabbage can grow to more than ten kilograms.
There are green leaves on the outside, which will gradually dry out after storage. After these dry leaves are removed, the cabbage leaves inside will turn yellow.
Cut the potatoes into thick slices and soak them in water. Cut the carrots into slices and cut them into finger-width strips of dry tofu. Soak the fungus, vermicelli, and vermicelli.
The dried bracken that Jin Xiaomei asked Jie Chen to take before was now soaked together with Yuan mushroom.
Seeing a group of people serving dishes and meat one after another, the well-informed Xie Sun was confused.
Although Ms. Xie Sun is not a qualified mother, she has to say that her children are really filial. What is even more fortunate for this person is that her uncle and daughter-in-law are also very good.
The year before last, her second uncle, Sun Haizhu, invited Mrs. Xie Sun to have hot pot in the city, but even in the town restaurant, Mrs. Xie Sun had never seen such a battle.
In particular, Wang Meilan also set up two tables, which Xie Sun never expected.
In the Jiesun family, Wang Meilan would be considered generous if she could serve four plates of mutton. Less meat, more vegetables, and more sauerkraut and cabbage.
That's it, the man and himself have to be the guest (qiě) to eat. As for Wang Meilan and those women and children, it's good if they can use the leftover soup to cook noodles.
Therefore, the scene in front of me was far beyond the expectations of knowing Sun.
At this time, a table that could easily seat twelve adults stood aside, and there was no room for anything on the table.
"Hey!" The old lady pulled Xie Sun down and said, "Don't look at me. Let's wash our hands and be hygienic."
"Ah?" Ms. Xie Sun was startled. She still hadn't come back to her senses. She heard the old lady repeat it again and said: "You come with me to wash it off. Zhao Xiao said that diseases come from the mouth, so we have to pay attention to hygiene.
ah!"
When Mr. Xie Sun and the old lady came back, Zhao Ling, Xu Chunyan and Li Ruhai were already putting dipping sauces on the table.
These days, sesame paste is available, but not common in forest areas. The Zhao family’s dipping ingredients include chive flowers, fermented bean curd, chili oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and farmhouse miso.
Needless to say, the chive flowers and chili oil were all made by myself. As for the fermented bean curd, Zhao Youcai saved it in the cafeteria. He saved up a small amount for a year and brought it back.
Not to mention soy sauce and vinegar, and as for miso, some people like Zhao Youcai and Wang Qiang like to use it as a dipping sauce for everything they eat.
"Serve!" The old lady entertained Xie Sun as the host and asked her to sit on the edge of the Kang with her. At the same time, she said with a smile: "We women don't drink either, so let's lead these children to eat in this room."
."
"This..." Ms. Jie Sun looked at the dishes on the table, her upper lip pressed against her lower lip, opening and closing it again, then looked at the old lady and asked: "Auntie, do we really eat like this?"
"Ah?" Mr. Xie Sun's question stunned the old lady. The old lady looked at Zhao Ling next to her and saw that Zhao Ling was also a little confused.
Both of them were thinking: "If you don't eat like this, how else can you eat?"
"Well..." The old lady thought for a while and then said to Mr. Xie Sun, "It's okay. You can sit down."
"No." Mrs. Jie Sun swallowed her saliva, then pointed to the plate containing the mutton and asked, "This plate of meat must not weigh two or three kilograms?"
"Ah!" The old lady glanced at the plate, nodded and said, "Yes."
After saying that, the old lady looked up at Zhao Ling and asked, "Daughter, how many can we have in this plate?"
"More than two kilograms." Zhao Ling said with a smile: "A sheep weighs nearly five bucks, which yields about forty kilograms of meat. Xiaojun roasted a piece, and my sister also left a thigh and two tenderloins, which she said were chopped and stuffed.
.After finishing the rest, we cut it all."
After saying these words, Zhao Ling paused for a moment and then said to the old lady: "Aunt Jiang, my sister told us to come over in the early afternoon tomorrow. After that, I will pick you up at home before I come.
Come."
"Ah, okay." The old lady nodded and asked smoothly, "Will Meilan make stuffing tomorrow?"
"Yeah!" Zhao Ling responded with a smile: "We ate this sheep today, but the liver, head, hooves and so on are all left, aren't we? My sister told me to make sheep soup and stuffing tomorrow.
It's said to be steamed shaomai. Last time Xiaojun took her to Lingnan and had it at Lan Bo Restaurant, and she said it was delicious."
"Sheep soup!" For a moment, Mr. Xie Sun's mouth felt wet.
"Ling!" At this time, Wang Meilan's voice came from outside the house, and she shouted: "Come here, you and Chunyan, you two cut noodles!"
Zhao Ling agreed and walked out. The old lady gently pushed Xie Sun to sit down.
At this time, Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, Zhang Yuanmin, and Jie Chen were gathering charcoal outside the house.
Suddenly, the door of Zhao Jun's house was pushed open, and Wang Meilan came out of the house first, followed by Jin Xiaomei, Yang Yufeng, and Li Ruhai.
"What are you doing?" Zhao Jun was stunned by the formation. He stood up and was about to ask, but Wang Meilan raised her hand to gesture at him and said: "Hurry up and put the fire in, your dad and the others are coming back!"
"Ouch!" Zhao Jun suddenly remembered that Li Dayong and Uncle Li called him back today, saying that he had something urgent to do. But when he got home, he forgot about his work as soon as he got busy, and he didn't know what trouble Zhao Youcai got into.
"Army!" At this moment, Wang Qiang pulled Zhao Jun, pointed to the warehouse and said, "What do you think your mother did?"
As soon as Wang Qiang finished speaking, he saw Wang Meilan and his party coming out in pairs of four, each carrying a box.
"Mom!" Zhao Jun wasn't calling him "Mom". He was just surprised. He muttered, "Why did Qianer buy this?"
Wang Meilan and Li Ruhai were walking in the front, carrying a box of soda; Jin Xiaomei and Yang Yufeng were walking in the back, carrying a box of beer.
"Old aunt!"
"Auntie!"
Zhang Yuanmin and his ministers both came forward and said to Wang Meilan, "Let's lift him!"
"You don't need to!" Wang Meilan waved her free hand and said, "Quickly put the fire under control!"
As the four people carried soda and beer into the house, Zhao Jun and the others also brought charcoal into the house, added charcoal to each brazier, and then sat the small pot of soup on the top.
Turn on the brazier and the room will heat up instantly.
At the same time, the small train commuting to Yong'an Forest Farm stopped outside Yong'an Tun. Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong, Li Baoyu, and Lin Xiangshun, the four working people from the past, gathered together again.
"Great courage!" Zhao Youcai carried two lunch boxes and said, "You and Baoyu can go to my house to eat later."
After Zhao Youcai said this, before Li Dayong could agree, he said to Lin Xiangshun: "Shunzi, you are coming too."
After Zhao Youcai finished speaking, Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun did not answer immediately.
Only the silly Li Baoyu said with a smile: "Uncle, what delicious food have you made again?"
"Ah, it's nothing." Zhao Youcai said: "Braised tofu with soy sauce and fried peanuts."
"Ah." Li Baoyu heard this and muttered in his heart: "This is nothing interesting."
However, Li Dayong and Lin Xiangshun knew that Zhao Youcai was afraid and did not dare to go home, so they called these people.
This is the same as when Zhao Jun first sneaked up the mountain to carry out a siege, but when he came back he asked Lin Xiangshun to stay with him for fear of being beaten.
"It's okay, second uncle." Lin Xiangshun advised Zhao Youcai from the side: "You haven't done anything, what are you afraid of?"
"Cough." At this time, Li Dayong coughed lightly, and then comforted Zhao Youcai and said, "Xiaojun got home just now, it's okay!"
Li Baoyu clicked his eyes twice before realizing what was going on. He smiled and said to Zhao Youcai, Li Dayong: "Uncle, Dad, no one can do this as well as my brother. As soon as Ruhai comes back,
Those old ladies found an organization."
"Yes, yes!" After hearing Li Baoyu's words, Lin Xiangshun also said: "It's not good, Ruhai is there, what are we afraid of? I heard from my Chunyan that Ruhai is on duty on which day and off duty on what day. Our village gang
Old ladies know better than I, Aunt Li."
The Aunt Li mentioned by Lin Xiangshun was Jin Xiaomei. After hearing his words, Li Dayong laughed and said: "That's nonsense!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hahaha..." Lin Xiangshun laughed and said, "It's not nonsense, Uncle Li."
As he spoke, Lin Xiangshun raised his hand to his forehead and said, "Who is it..."
Lin Xiang pointed to the side and said: "The wife who was guarding Zhou Dakui's wife was moved in later. That old woman with a very loud voice, what did she call her Sun?"
"Sun Yongrong." Zhao Youcai answered.
"Yes, it's her!" Lin Xiangshun said with a smile: "She marked all the dates in her calendar. She marked the days when Ru Hai would go to work, get off work, and take off work. She marked them all until the end of the year. She said she would go to the market on which day.
I’m buying next year’s one, and then bid when it’s done.”
"Really? False?" Li Dayong was dumbfounded!
"Really!" Lin Xiangshun nodded and said, "She doesn't deal with Aunt Qi and her gang. She keeps whatever she has to say until Ruhai gets off work and tells Ruhai and his wife."
Li Dayong, Li Baoyu: "..."
At this time, Lin Xiangshun continued: "Her family, Zhou Dakui, is in the security team. Doesn't he also work the night shift? At first, Zhou Dakui thought that his wife's painting showed him at work and off duty, but later he couldn't tell the truth."
Li Dayong, Li Baoyu: "..."
Even before he drank, Li Dayong felt his head hurt. Zhao Youcai actually laughed along with Lin Xiangshun. This was the first time Zhao Youcai smiled after learning from Li Dayong that he had been falsely accused of breaking his shoes.
Seeing that they had reached a fork in the road, Lin Xiangshun had to turn here every day. Today he said to Zhao Youcai: "Second uncle, I will tell Chunyan when I go back, and I will come out to chase you out as soon as I am done."
"Pull him down!" Zhao Youcai grabbed Lin Xiangshun and said, "If you don't go back, Chunyan will know that you came to my house."
When Zhao Youcai arrived home anxiously, his house was filled with laughter and steam.
Zhao Ling and Xu Chunyan also cut the noodles. They were rolling the noodles with their hands, waiting to finish eating and put the noodles into the pot.
But now the room is too hot, and the noodles will become soft and lump together when left in the room, so Xu Chunyan scattered the noodles on the curtain, carried them outside, and placed them on the wall of Zhao and Li's family.
At this time, night had fallen, the temperature was already around minus three or four degrees, and there were no flies outside.
When Xu Chunyan came out with noodles, all the dogs in the two courtyards suddenly barked, and Xu Chunyan was startled.
Xu Chunyan quickly reacted and shouted: "Is the second uncle back?"
As soon as Xu Chunyan finished speaking, she heard a voice she was most familiar with, "Chunyan? Why are you here?"
Lin Xiangshun asked questions there, but Zhao Youcai's heart skipped a beat. When he left home in the morning, he knew that there was nothing at home, so he didn't expect Wang Meilan to set up a table. At this time, Xu Chunyan came, and Zhao Youcai thought that Wang Meilan had listened to the slander.
When they got up, all the relatives and friends came to break up the fight.
