Su Shu wrote the shopping list and showed it to Liang Zhenguo in a decent manner, but she took it back before he could see it clearly. She left it and I went to work for a while before disappearing out of thin air.
Liang Zhenguo's eyelids jumped again. Although he knew it, he still felt it was magical.
She is becoming more and more open about it.
On the second day of the second grade of junior high school, Liang Zhenguo and Su Shu drove the village tractor out at around ten in the morning. At around two in the afternoon, the tractor returned to the village with a full load.
Everything was packed in very large bamboo baskets. The baskets were so heavy that it took several people to move them. The frames had lids, so the neighbors were guessing what they were.
There are many men in the Wu family, so Grandpa Wu didn't ask anyone else to help him. His family worked for a while before unloading all the things and putting them in the tidied utility room.
Liang Zhenguo went to return the tractor and closed the door when he left. Grandma Wu smiled and said to Su Shu, "Do you believe that as soon as Zhenguo closed the door, the neighbors outside had to say something about him?"
"What are you afraid of, so you dare to say it secretly. No one dares to say bad things in front of Zhenguo." Zheng Youdi followed suit. Without asking, she knew from the action of Liang Zhenguo closing the door that the things he brought home today were all good things.
.
Wu Mancang also squeezed in and asked Su Shu, "Sister-in-law, why did I smell sheep when I moved things just now? Did you buy a sheep?"
Grandma Wu was just about to say how could it be possible, when she saw Su Shu lift the lids of some of the frames, revealing the slaughtered sheep inside. Grandma Wu was stunned.
"Good guy, Mancang has a dog's nose!" Zheng Youdi exclaimed, "What a sheep!"
"There are several baskets of them. There must be several of them, right?" Wu Fengshou was shocked.
"Four sheep and two cows are all sent from the grassland. The beef and mutton there taste so good." Su Shu pointed to several boxes containing raw meat, "Tomorrow we will cook some of them with wine, and we will cook the rest at home.
Save it and eat it slowly, and eat beef and mutton in winter to replenish your body."
Grandpa Wu's hand holding the cigarette was shaking, "This is the first time in my life that I have seen so much meat."
"That basket is full of very fat chickens, ducks and geese, and they are all alive." Su Shu pointed to the basket in the corner that still made a squawking sound. "I will have to boil hot water and call the neighbors for help soon."
killed."
"I'm going to find someone right now." Zheng Youdi patted her thigh, "The ones bought in the village are also here today, let's kill them together."
"These two baskets are filled with dry goods, including dried vegetables, dried bamboo shoots, dried mushrooms, and other seafood such as dried fish, shrimp, dried kelp."
"The items in this box are the more expensive dried sea food that I keep for my own consumption. I will use them to stew soup to replenish my health later." Su Shu pointed to the smaller box and explained that she had spent a lot of money on this.
It was a good purchase, including imported bird's nests that she liked.
"This basket is of vegetables. I asked someone to send it by train from the south." Su Shu opened her mouth and started talking nonsense, but the Wu family believed it to be true.
Su Shu and Liang Zhenguo brought back so many things. Naturally, Grandma Wu had to ask who she bought them from and how she could be so capable of buying so much food.
When Su Shu said that it was the Beijing Grand Hotel that did the purchasing, everyone thought that it was normal for someone from a big hotel to have such ability.
When Su Shu talked about fruits later, everyone accepted it well.
"These baskets are for fruits, including strawberries, oranges and apples. The remaining baskets over there are rice for making rake rice, and some fine flour."
In addition to surprises and delights, Grandma Wu felt sorry for Su Shu and Liang Zhenguo who had spent a lot of money. She thought that when they started school, she would secretly give them some money. The two children reported good news but not bad news. They would also decide if they really had no money.
I don’t know how to tell, I just give it and specify that I don’t want it.
Zheng Youdi felt that she was really enjoying herself this year.
"We're hosting this wine tomorrow, and I'll see who can pick out the bad ones."
"Tomorrow we will cook a sheep and half a cow." Grandpa Wu took two puffs of cigarette, "Keep part of the rest for yourself to eat slowly, and give part to others. Giving these will give you more dignity than giving anything else."
"Okay, grandpa, just make the arrangements." Su Shu never interfered with such trivial matters. If the family needed any favors, the elders would make the decision.
Su Shu agreed very enthusiastically, and Grandpa Wu became even more happy when he heard it, feeling that Su Shu respected him as the head of the household.
"These things are not easy to come by. Pick some good ones and send them to your grandpa and your mother. Hasn't your uncle Cao already gone to Beijing? Send him a copy too. By the way, you still have a watch in the city.
Uncle, you can’t forget. There is a friend in Zhenguo City who needs to send a copy as well. He has helped you on weekdays. Don’t forget them when you have good things."
Grandpa Wu was such a person who could remember his gratitude. He even arranged for Su Shu's family to come there.
Most of the things he planned to leave behind were for Su Shu to send to her family.
"Grandpa, my cousin and his uncle have gone back to the south to celebrate the New Year. The weather in the south is warm right now. It's too far away and we can't send things there. Uncle Cao won't open the fire alone in Beijing. He will wait until we return to Beijing and let friend Liang Zhenguo be alone.
Send it to Beijing City."
"Chen Wei and his wife will come to the village to have a drink tomorrow. Just prepare one for him and send another to my mother." Su Shu said, "Let Chen Wei get the things when he returns.
At the city station, the shuttle bus to Baiyun County will go back faster."
"That's OK." Grandpa Wu took a puff of cigarette and went out happily.
After the things were arranged and distributed, Zheng Youdi called Huang Gui to find relatives and neighbors for help.
The yard was busy killing chickens and geese all afternoon. Just like that, Su Shu and Wu Xianglan had no one to let them get their hands on them if they wanted to help. How could the hands of college students be used to do such work?
In the end, Su Shu and Wu Xianglan had no choice but to stay in the kitchen and help light the fire. However, Liang Zhenguo was ordered around, and he was not asked to do less work just because he was a college student.
On the third day of the third year of junior high school, the yard started to get busy at dawn. The wine was placed at noon. Chen Wei arrived early, driving his wife and children in his car at around nine o'clock.
At that time, Liang Zhenguo was setting up a table in the yard. After parking the car, Chen Wei picked up his fat son and walked towards Liang Zhenguo. He directly put the fat son into Liang Zhenguo's arms.
"Hurry! College student, hurry up and hug my son. With your literary talent, my son will be admitted to college when he grows up."
Liang Zhenguo was stunned for a moment when a big fat boy was stuffed into his arms. The big fat boy was less than a week old, and he was so clumsy that he didn't recognize life. When he was in Liang Zhenguo's arms, he swayed wildly, grinning and drooling and pointed at Liang Zhenguo.
laugh.
Su Shu saw the couple coming and came out of the kitchen, "Sister Ping, are you here? Hey, the little fat boy is here too~ Come to Auntie's arms, Auntie will give you a hug~ Auntie will make apple puree for you to eat."
