Chapter 1959 It must be a moth!
Parents are sometimes very contradictory creatures. When their children are young, they are very guarded against premature love. As soon as they reach adulthood, they start to rush to find a partner. They wish they could get married where they are, and then wait until they get married. and started to be reluctant to leave again...
My eldest aunt is a typical example of this. When Duan Fengchun didn't have a partner, she would get angry every day. When she met a young man on the street, she would want to ask him if he had any friends. If you don’t have a partner, hurry up and marry your daughter off.
But now that her daughter is married, she starts wiping tears every day again, as if a piece of flesh in her heart has been taken away.
"Oh, why are you crying again!" Qin Jingru and the others saw their aunt's eyes red, and they quickly stepped forward to comfort them, then they didn't care about serving the food, and returned with the photos. In the main room, enjoy it with others.
"This is great, your smile is so beautiful."
"Oh, why did I close my eyes?"
"This is a great photo, give it to me, I'll come back to you Get a photo album and put it together.”
“This is for Fengchun and the others.”
“And this.”
A group of people in the room gathered around the table, spread out the photos, sorted them into piles, and discussed how to divide the photos. Even the two gay men, my grandfather and uncle, actively participated in it.
Taking photos at this time is expensive, let alone rural areas. People in the city may not take photos once every few years, so every photo is precious to them, so they must choose carefully.
Chu Heng didn’t get involved. He still had the negatives in his hand. If he really wanted any of them, he could just go back to the darkroom to wash them.
He wandered to the Arhat bed and sat down, teasing Chu Zhecheng and Huniu to play for a while. After seeing his uncle and aunt muttering a few words, he wiped himself out. The main room came back after a while.
After entering the house, the aunt and uncle looked at each other. The uncle came straight to Chu Heng and stuffed a wad of dough into him: "Hengzi, this is the money for the photo. Take it." Come on, don’t argue with uncle. You have spent a lot of money on Fengchun’s marriage during this period. You can’t spend any more money on this photo.”
"Hey, what are you doing? Take it back quickly." Chu Heng naturally couldn't ask for this money. Not to mention that he didn't spend a few bucks in the first place. Even if he went to the photo studio to develop the photos according to the time, he wouldn't To recover this money, firstly, there is no shortage, and secondly, the relationship with Duan Fengchun is at stake here.
"No, you have to keep it, otherwise I will be angry!" The uncle said with a straight face and stuffed it into his pocket again.
"I can't accept it even if you are angry. Listen to me, uncle." Chu Heng quickly told him about the photo development he borrowed from the darkroom of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
“You didn’t lie to us, did you?” My aunt came forward doubtfully.
“That’s not true, auntie.” Ni Yinghong explained with a smile: “Chu Heng has a very good relationship with the person in charge of the darkroom at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he goes to his place every now and then to develop some photos. , never spend money.”
"Tsk, Hengzi is really capable." The uncle was relieved and gave Chu Heng a thumbs up.
In the eyes of many people today, as long as someone can take advantage of the public from their work unit, they are capable.
The uncle is obviously one of them.
"Hey, what kind of skill is this? I'm just more popular." Chu Heng smiled reservedly, then touched his belly, and couldn't help but yelled to Yang Guizhi and the others who were still looking at the photos: " I said , should we start dinner? "What time is it!"
"Oh, it's already this hour. You guys hurry up and pack up. I'll go get the food." Yang Guizhi looked at the time and hurried out. .
"Let me help you."
Qin Jingru and her aunt also followed out.
After a while, the three of them came to the kitchen.
Yang Guizhi strode to the big stove, opened the lid of the pot, and revealed the braised pork with potatoes that had been stewed for two hours. Suddenly, a strong aroma of meat wafted out of the kitchen. "Is this grandson eating meat again?"
Outside the door, a middle-aged man smelled the smell of braised pork wafting from the courtyard, and gritted his back molars with envy.
He lives in a large courtyard next to Chu Heng. There is only a wall between the two families. Every time the meat is stewed here, his family can smell it clearly. He is so greedy that he bites his cheeks in his dreams at night, and at the same time he is extremely jealous. .
Especially after Chu Heng came back and gave Duan Fengchun several home appliances in one go, this jealousy reached its peak, causing his human nature to become distorted, and he secretly wrote a lot of report letters. I have tried it in , the district, and even the city, and half the bottle of pen water has been used up.
“Why are there still no reports on my report letters?” The man gritted his molars and looked at the two vermilion doors in front of him bitterly.
Yajiantian eats meat, buys a TV and a refrigerator to give away.
Where did you get so much money? Where did you get so many votes?
It must have been embezzlement of public property!
They even have to be enemy agents!
No, I must help the country eradicate this moth and cancer!
The man's eyes flickered, turned around and walked back. Less than half an hour later, he came out of the house again wrapped in a thick cotton coat and braved the cold wind, with his hands clasped in front of his chest. He put it into his sleeves, curled his neck, and looked sneaky.
...
The next day, Sunday, was the day when Chu Heng and Wei Hong’s mother came to visit, and it was also the day when Duan Fengchun and his wife returned home.
Huimen, also known as Guining, is a traditional wedding custom of the Han people. The newlyweds will visit their parents-in-law’s home with gifts on the third day after the wedding. The parents-in-law will also cook a large table of delicious dishes to entertain them.
My eldest cousin’s parents’ home is too far away. With the current train speed, it will take three days to go back and forth, so I can only use Chu Heng’s place to make things easier.
Early in the morning that day, my eldest aunt began to prepare for the homecoming dinner in the evening. Because she wanted to entertain her new uncle, she insisted not to let the Chu family’s things go to someone else when she took them out. In exchange for national food stamps, I exchanged a lot of meat stamps, vegetable stamps and other things with Chu Heng according to the market price. I and Yang Guizhi went to the grocery store and the vegetable market and bought a lot of ingredients.
"Chop chop chop!"
At around nine o'clock in the morning, in the kitchen, my aunt was chopping meat fillings and preparing to fry the eggplant boxes for a while to entertain my uncle.
Eggplant box is a Shandong dish, which is more popular in the north. To cook, you just slice the eggplant and add seasoned meat filling in the middle and fry it. It will be fragrant and crispy. If you don't do it well, you will become weak, just like Chu Heng at 11:30 last night.
Huniu loves eating eggplant boxes very much. Firstly, they are meaty and heavy in oil, which suits her taste buds very well.
So, when she found out that her aunt was going to fry the eggplant boxes today, the little girl's greed was aroused. She ran to the kitchen to take a look, and she was so anxious that she couldn't wait to see it. Help with your own hands to chop the meat.
"Dengdeng stared."
At this moment, Hu Niu came again, standing eagerly at the door of the kitchen, looking eagerly: "Uncle and grandma, the eggplant box is not ready yet?"
"Hey "Hey, can you, girl, rest for a while? Go and have fun with your godfather. I'll call you when you're done." The aunt looked at her with a headache.
"My godfather asked me to ask. He wants to eat it and is so greedy." The little girl's eyes rolled around.
“I think you are a greedy person.” Yang Guizhi walked over with a smile and handed her a small piece of Bingcheng red sausage: “Take it and leave quickly, don’t disturb me and you. Grandma and uncle work.”
"Yeah." Huniu, who didn't eat the watermelon but picked up a handful of sesame seeds, took the red sausage and prepared to leave with satisfaction.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the courtyard door.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
