Of course, the Hong family and the Shou family both have slow tables. The elders sit at the same table with the newcomers, and the other younger generations sit together.
Therefore, the two brothers from the An family sat next to Hong Yanwu.
As soon as they started eating, the two men immediately showed the children of the Hong family and the Shou family how powerful they were. Each person on the table only had one or two chopsticks. Half the plate of pork head meat in front of them was gone.
After blinking a few more times, half of the elbow was gone.
To put it bluntly, these two brothers are simply born carnivores, and they don’t feel tired of even the fattest meat. They move their chopsticks as fast as they fly, and they are quite jealous of “meat” and want to wipe it all away.
This way of eating made both Hong Yanru and Hong Jun dumbfounded, and they didn't dare to hold out their chopsticks for a while.
Hong Yanwu looked at it but only found it funny, and teased him half-jokingly.
"Sun, Moon, eat slowly, no one will fight with you, and be careful before choking. I'm really surprised. We had dinner together yesterday and you weren't like this. Why don't we know each other now?
?”
An Yueliang didn't care at all, and ate without missing a beat. As he chewed, he said in a lumpen-proletarian tone, "Yesterday was yesterday, and today is today. Revolution is not a dinner party, writing an article, painting or embroidering. It cannot be so elegant or leisurely.
, gentle and gentle, so gentle, courteous and thrifty. Revolution is a riot, a violent action in which one class overthrows another class..."
An Yangyang was embarrassed. He couldn't help but control the speed of his chopsticks and explained to Hong Yanwu. He said that what happened in the scene was like this. It was just a habit of eating. Now he couldn't hold his tongue. He also said that this was already the case.
It's just too slow. If you don't believe it, you'll know just by looking back.
As a result, it turned out that it was true! Only those who turned around truly understood what it means to be "fast enough to cover your ears" and what it means to be "fast enough to cover your eyes".
I'm sorry to say that all the plates at the fast-food tables in the back were empty. The tabletops had long been swept away, making them "turning upside down and generous".
Everyone was smoking, chatting, and stretching their necks to look into the greenhouse, all looking forward to the arrival of the hot dishes.
It really deserves the title of "Quick Table"!
At this time, Hong Yanwen and Shouzhen, who had experience in queue jumping, couldn't help but echoed, saying that when they were educated youths, they had to fight for seats in the village like this, otherwise they would not get anything.
He also said that even if they fight bravely, they educated youths cannot compare with the locals. What they practice is boy kung fu. They have experienced this kind of scene since they were young. There are real kung fu on the chopsticks. They are absolutely stable and accurate.
ruthless.
Before they could finish speaking, the hot dishes started to be served, which immediately proved the authenticity of their remarks.
The first big steaming bowl was placed on a "quick table". Before Hong Yanwu and the others could see clearly what it was, they copied it in with several pairs of chopsticks. After the chopsticks were removed one after another, they saw that there was only
A piece of potato on the bottom with some oil on it.
But before the second bowl was placed on the table, someone took most of it away "from the air."
The third bowl was served with a large bowl of sliver meat, and the people at the "fast table" immediately stood up and cheered to greet it.
The thin and weak people were either squeezed out after a vague glance, or they couldn't get in at all. Almost in an instant, there was only an empty bowl on the table, and even the soup was gone.
To be honest, at such an exaggerated scene, even Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan, who had grabbed food in the labor camp, couldn't help but stare.
Chen Liquan couldn't help but whispered to Hong Yanwu, "It's really edible. Usually when there is little oil and water, people almost turn into wolves..."
Hong Yanwu couldn't help but sigh, it's all this "movement". Who would have thought that it would turn farmers all over the world like this without seeing it with their own eyes.
At this moment, the newcomers finally came over to propose a toast, thus drawing everyone's attention back to their own table.
The groom, Zhaoqing, was really happy today. He drank a glass of wine with everyone at the table. That was full of sincerity.
The new daughter-in-law, Xiaoqin, looked shy and followed Zhaoqing without saying a word, just smiling. There were two deep dimples on her face, and she was very docile and cute.
The two of them stood together now, looking like a perfect match made in heaven.
Naturally, everyone will say something like "eternal life" and "grow old together" in response to the situation.
Only An Yangyang grinned when he clinked glasses with Zhaoqing. He complained dissatisfiedly that he was not allowed to be the best man.
Xiaoqin didn't hesitate to show her kindness to her mother's brother, and now she became very angry. She protected Zhaoqing and scolded him openly.
"Brother Ritou, what are you talking about? Why do you need a best man if you don't have a bridesmaid? If you stand aside, people will think that three people are getting married. Besides, the bridesmaid is from her mother's family. I have never heard of her brother from her mother's family being a bridesmaid for the groom.
…”
In one sentence, An Yangyang was speechless.
Zhaoqing naturally wanted to smooth things over, so he quickly jumped in and said something to make everyone feel free to eat. Even talking about wine and meat is enough for today, so don't be polite.
These few words really appealed to An Yueliang's temper, and he spoke frankly.
"You're welcome, I eat beautifully. I wish someone would get married every day."
Unexpectedly, An Yangyang was not in a good mood, so he immediately poked him after hearing this.
"You're better at talking nonsense than me! Without pigs, it's useless to get married a hundred times."
This sentence definitely had an eye-catching effect and immediately made everyone burst into laughter.
Not to mention, the truth often slips out of your mouth without paying attention...
The week after Zhaoqing's wedding ended uneventfully, and the countdown to Hong Yanwu's departure to Bincheng began.
The only thing Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had to do was to prepare before leaving, buy train tickets, get fake letters of introduction, and buy some gifts for the boys in Bincheng.
As for other things, there are only a few things worth mentioning.
One is about pouring eggs.
On September 17, the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, An Yangyang hooked up with his younger brother An Yueliang, and the two of them officially started their first express delivery business.
Under Zhaoqing's arrangement, they also took a bus from the cement factory to the capital. Not only did they send Hong Yanwu the 500 eggs purchased by Zhaoqing, they also brought two eggs that Zhaoqing had specially caught for Shou Jingfang.
Blue dot chin.
Hong Yanwu didn't disturb the family and took the two boys out for a meal at noon. He gave them sixty yuan and kept the eggs.
In fact, the price was also the result of a dispute. Hong Yanwu originally wanted to pay 15 cents, but before coming, Zhaoqing told An Yangyang that he could only take 10 cents.
So in the end, Hong Yanwu had no choice but to insist on paying for the An family's two brothers to run errands. This was regarded as a disguised sign of celebration, and the price of eggs was kept at 12 cents.
And Hong Yanwu's selling eggs is a bit special. Not only does he not make any money, he also has to make some money.
He kept 200 eggs for himself and distributed some to relatives and friends in the usual way. The remaining 300 eggs were all transferred to the neighbors in the east and west courtyards at a low price of nine cents that day.
I actually lost nine yuan.
It's not that he is stupid. In fact, he just wanted to help Zhaoqing with the eggs. He just threw the money into the water for nothing without blinking an eye. But if he sold it at a high price for a few dollars, then
But it was a taboo.
On the contrary, as it is now, fresh eggs are sold for less than the official price in grocery stores. This makes people confused, and it is very worry-free and labor-saving to dispose of the eggs.
Moreover, thanks to his advantage, even the old women he had offended for Shui Qing smiled at him and stopped gossiping about him behind his back.
Losing money and making money like this is a good thing for him now and in the upcoming 1983 years. If this continues for a long time, is there anything more cost-effective than saving favors like this?
Now that we’ve talked about eggs, let’s talk about work.
Because of Zhaoqing's affairs, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan almost asked for leave twice in a row.
Ordinarily, it would have been impossible in late summer and early autumn when the business was busy. But Caitou Gao Qingtian did not dare to offend them, so he decided privately and gritted his teeth and let them go.
But now they have to go to Bincheng, and after returning from Zhaoqing's wedding, they have to ask for half a month's leave, and there is no guarantee that they will be able to come back on the day. Gao Qingtian can't bear it.
.
For this reason, he tried to talk to his boss. When the leader of the vegetable company found out, of course he was very angry and refused to approve. Gao Qingtian could only reply to Hong Yanwu, saying that there was nothing he could do.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu was not difficult for him, and even treated him to a meal with Chen Liquan that day.
There are two main meanings. One is to thank him for taking care of him during this period, and the other is that they have decided not to work and asked him to go back and bring a letter to the leader of the vegetable company. If he can get the salary and other things, it will all belong to him.
.
Just like that, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan withdrew decisively and completely.
Gao Qingtian didn't think about it for a while. He really couldn't figure out what these two uncles were thinking.
It is said that they work diligently under him every day, have never caused any trouble for him, and have not touched the "evil meat" at all. From these aspects, they should know how to cherish this hard-earned job.
How can you work so well, but then turn around and abandon your job and money, and still have to go to other places?
Just like that, the more he thought about it, the more scary it became. Gao Qingtian thought that Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had committed some major crime. He was really worried for a while, fearing that the police would come to question him one day.
Later, because there was no movement, a few months later he heard someone say that he met Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan on the street and went to a restaurant. Only then did he put his heart at ease.
But from beginning to end, he didn't fully understand this matter.
In fact, the resignation is really nothing in Hong Yanwu's eyes.
For him, this crappy job is temporary and will be gone if it is gone. Since it was originally found by the street director, and the person who untied the bell needs to be tied, wouldn’t it be over if he went to find the street director again? Anyway, he
I don’t have any other requirements, just that the working hours should be shorter.
What, will the street director be angry? No way, unless he doesn't need to buy a TV.
Wow, Hong Yanwu really guessed it right. When he mentioned TV in the subdistrict office, the subdistrict director lost his temper. In addition to promising to resolve the matter for him as soon as possible, he even sent him out of the office with a smile that day.
Just like that, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan had a completely free time again, and they could treat their trip to Bincheng as a free vacation.
