013 Before entering the city, finish the trivial matters first
The meal lasted until around 10 o'clock in the evening. Under the surprised and admiring eyes of more than 20 uncles and brothers from the same village, Chu Xiangqian picked up a four-dollar wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. At the same time, he also drank the most powerful drink.
After the purchaser of the steel factory was forced to lie down.
Smiling, he said to Chu He and the village captain Qin Dakui, "Two old uncles, my mission has been completed, right?"
Before Chu He could speak, Qin Dakui, who was in his 50s, patted the table and said, "Good boy, if I had known you were so good at drinking, I should have taken you to drink with me when I went to the commune to ask for help."
The village accountant and the clerk nodded hurriedly, "Last month the commune organized manpower to catch fish and divide the fish in the reservoir next to us. If you were there, our village would definitely have hundreds of more catties of fish."
Chu Xiangqian recalled for a few seconds, and soon thought that Minngling was next door.
Everyone in Linchang Village participated in the construction of the reservoir that started at the beginning of last year in batches.
In this age of shoulder-carrying handbags, nearly 400,000 people participated in voluntary labor and built a reservoir in only 160 days. Thinking about it, it is very exciting. Only the Chinese dynasty has such organizational and mobilization capabilities.
Chu Qianqian thought, after all, when he drinks, he just puts the wine into the novice village or the storage compartment. Not to mention today's 3 and a half kilograms, even ten kilograms will be fine.
"Don't worry, sir. From now on, just call me if you want to accompany you." Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "You can also have a good time by the way."
Everyone burst into laughter. And there was no way to be jealous of him.
Of course, three or four pounds is acceptable, but if you really drink 10 pounds, it would be scary.
Arrangements were made to send the five guests to bed respectively. Everyone said hello and went home in twos and threes with a smile.
After everyone left, Chu He and Chu said to the uncle and nephew Xiang Qian while walking, "Qian Qian, who do you think is most likely to take you into the city today?"
Chu Qianqian shook his head, "It seems like this isn't that easy."
Chu He thought for a while and nodded helplessly, "Yes, except Chen Huaili from the street, no one else can make decisions."
After saying that, he patted Chu's forward arm and said, "Forget it, we can spend the New Year in the village with peace of mind."
Chu Qianqian could only nod. At the end of the year, each unit had so many things to do. One or two roe deer and wild boars were just to satisfy the desires of the tongue. Some serious things were more important than eating.
It is outrageous to hunt several or even a dozen roe deer and wild boars at one time.
Many hunting teams that specially go into the mountains spend several days with guns, but they may not be able to kill three or five wild boars.
When we arrived at Chuhe's house, Aiguo, Ailin and Aiqiu were still awake.
Moreover, Aimin and his sister Chu Yuan were also there.
The second aunt hurriedly went to pour water, and heard Chu Yuan complain, "Brother, I took care of you during the days when you were sick. Why do you only think about patriotism and love for the people when you have delicious food?"<
/p>
Chu Qianqian was stunned and looked at Aiguo and Aimin with unkind eyes.
The two boys were shocked.
In the past, the two of them were afraid of Chu Xiangqian, because he, the eldest brother, was really good at beating people.
Now that I saw Chu Xiangqian carrying the black bear back with my own eyes, the fear in my heart became even deeper.
Aimin waved his hands hurriedly, "Brother, don't listen to my sister's nonsense. She just helped cook for two days when my aunt was busy."
Chu Yuan, however, was not at a disadvantage and said, "Then the rice soup and medicine that the elder brother drank a few days ago were not made by me?"
"This, this", Aimin suddenly didn't know what to say.
Only then did Chu Qianqian understand. He smiled and said to the siblings, "Okay, isn't it just a bite of meat? I originally planned to send one to your house next time I go up the mountain."
Seeing Chu Xiangqian say this, Chu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
She didn’t insist on eating this bite of chicken or chicken soup, but she was unhappy when she called her cousin Aimin instead of her.
It made her feel that she was not taken seriously, and that she was not even treated as a sister, but as an outsider who was about to get married.
Now I heard Chu Xiangqian say that it was only because I only caught one pheasant this morning that I didn't send it to her house, and I naturally felt embarrassed.
Besides, although Chu Yuan is a bit timid, she is not a fool. With her eldest brother’s behavior in the past few days, her father Chu Jiang may have to listen to his opinion on her marriage.
Busy smiled silly at Chu Xiangqian.
Chu Qianqian glared at this cousin, it was really unnecessary to curse just for such a trivial matter.
He turned to his second aunt and said, "Aunt, tell me the money and tickets for my father's funeral, and ask Ai Guo to pick it up from me tomorrow morning."
The second aunt glanced at Chu He and saw his surprised expression, and she knew that Chu Xiangqian didn't tell his second uncle because he was worried that Chu He would make him look fat.
Looking at Chu Yuan hurriedly, Chu Xiangqian realized that the second aunt had never read a book, let alone keeping accounts.
I can’t even write a few words.
At this time, the second uncle wanted to refuse, but Chu Xiangqian blocked him directly.
I don’t want to owe my second uncle too much, and how could I not pay back such money?
Besides, when it comes to food rations, brothers have to settle accounts.
Secondly, he doesn’t want to be restrained by his second uncle in the future.
It's better to take the opportunity to create the fact that you are already in charge.
Three, it’s not like I can’t survive.
There may not be a lot of money in the future, but there will definitely be a shortage of small money.
There is no need to embarrass the second uncle and the second aunt, or even quarrel over food rations.
"Okay, Second Uncle, now I have enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry. You don't want to think about yourself and Second Aunt, but also think about patriotism, Ai Lin and Xiao Qiu'er's food rations."
After saying that, Chu Xiangqian showed a smile and said, "Besides, I have all the skills, so I don't have to worry about food and clothing. After I turn 20, it will be easy to marry a wife."
After hearing this, everyone also had smiles on their faces.
Only Chu Yuan couldn't help but curl his lips after laughing.
As someone who had failed on several blind dates, Chu Yuan himself didn’t have much confidence in marrying a good family at this time.
It’s not that she’s ugly, it’s that she’s from a good family. When I inquired about her, I found her to be careless and not like a considerate and caring girl.
The conditions are poor, not to mention Chu Yuan herself, her father Chu Jiang does not want the girl to marry and endure hardship.
I can only drag it.
Fortunately, Chu Yuan is only 17 years old, so he can still delay turning 18 for a year or two.
Seeing Chu looking forward to him, Chu Yuan quickly calmed down, thought about it carefully, and then reported a series of numbers.
Chu Xiangqian was surprised that while his elder sister had a good memory, she didn't say much.
Nowadays, praising a girl for her good calculation skills is not necessarily a good thing.
Looking at his second uncle, Chuhe thought carefully before nodding.
Chu Qianqian thought to himself that his father had still left some money over the years.
Twenty-three yuan is not much expenditure, but there is a shortage of food stamps.
After all, for weddings and weddings, guests don’t bring their own food rations. After all, people have to bring something when they visit.
When he was in trouble, he saw Chu He take out a stack of money bills from his pocket.
