Ye Fan couldn't laugh or cry, who asked you to take care of it?
Liao Miaomiao couldn't help crying but laughing when she saw Dabao's angry look. Dabao sat up in anger: "Sister Miao Miao, are you laughing at me?"
Geng Zhiye: "Miao Miao laughed that she doesn't know much about you even though she is going to college. It's ridiculous!"
Liao Miaomiao nodded: "Yes, laughing at myself."
Dabao suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Sister Miao Miao, I don't blame you. My mother said that Aunt Xiaohui is like that because no one teaches you. You must be raised and no one teaches you." Then he said, "It will be fine when you go to college. , the teacher teaches you.”
Liao Miaomiao wanted to cry again when she heard this. Upon seeing this, Ye Fan quickly asked about the exam situation to divert her attention. When Liao Miaomiao heard Ye Fan ask her how she did in the exam, the sadness in her heart dissipated a lot, and her tears did not fall, "I feel good. Last year, half of the math questions were blank, and this year there are only a few questions left. If everything is correct, Go to Hangzhou steadily.”
Ye Fan: "That's great. Is there anyone else in your hometown?"
Liao Miaomiao nodded: "My grandma is still alive."
Ye Fan: "Su Yuanhang said that the school subsidy is enough for him. He eats a lot, and you will definitely not be able to use it all. Then you can buy your own ticket to go back to your hometown. But forget it this year, you, a little girl, can easily be deceived on the road."< br>
Liao Miaomiao wanted to laugh: "Aunt Ye, I'm not stupid."
Geng Zhiye couldn't help but said: "You don't understand how evil people's hearts are. If an old man says that my house is not far ahead, help me over. Once you relent and let her go, you may not be able to get out."
Liao Miaomiao was surprised how he knew.
In the past, after Geng Zhiye got engaged to Ye Fan, he hoped that Ye Fan would visit him in the army and specifically asked about the situation on the train.
Ye Fan added: "Being locked up to give birth to children for men makes the world miserable."
Liao Miaomiao couldn't imagine it, so she looked a little confused.
Geng Zhiye: "I don't mean to scare you. This kind of situation is not common, but it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. In a year or two, you will know a lot more in school, and you won't look like a middle school student. If you don't want to spend the New Year here, go back to your hometown. In the past two years, I have been with my classmates. Just go to the train station. It’ll be fine when you get to Yongcheng.”
Dabao's attention was attracted by "locked up": "Won't you be locked up when you go to Yongcheng?"
Ye Fan: "As the saying goes, you can eat mountains if you rely on mountains, and you can eat water if you rely on water. There are mountains and water here, a land of plenty, and we are not so poor that we have to take risks."
Geng Zhiye nodded: "Er Bao, are you asleep?"
Erbao raised his little hand: "Dad, I heard you. Dad, teach me Juntiquan tomorrow. Mom teaches me too much and gentleness, and I can't beat anyone to death."
Geng Zhiye was speechless and wanted to laugh: "Okay, I will teach you Juntiquan tomorrow."
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
The next morning, when Liao Miaomiao opened her eyes, she woke up Little Sister Liao who was in the same room with her, then went to wash up, and then played in the yard. Hearing Erbao's voice, Liao Miaomiao dragged Liao Xiaomei to the door of Ye Fan's house. Until I heard Geng Zhiye say it was time to start. The sisters just went in.
Ye Fan went shopping for groceries, while Geng Zhiye washed rice and cooked porridge, watching the two children wash their faces and brush their teeth. They didn't pay attention to anything else, and because there was a fence covered with beans, they didn't notice anyone outside. When they suddenly came in, Geng Zhiye was startled and asked quickly: "Miaomiao, what's wrong?" Didn't he comfort her yesterday by making jokes.
Liao Miaomiao was a little embarrassed: "Uncle Geng, are you going to teach Erbao Juntiquan?"
Geng Zhiye nodded: "You want to learn too? You--" She swallowed the word "Dad". Based on Zhuang Qiuyue's temperament, she must have felt that Liao Miaomiao was full. Otherwise, how could a female student who was not prepared to become a soldier learn the military? Body boxing. When Liao Miaomiao talks about self-defense, Zhuang Qiuyue might also say that men are stronger than women, and it is useless to learn how to do it. A man can subdue a woman as soon as he gets close.
"Isn't it possible?" Seeing his hesitation, Liao Miaomiao couldn't help but ask cautiously.
Geng Zhiye smiled and said: "Yes. But I have a request. You are not allowed to talk about it when you get home."
Liao Miaomiao didn't talk much to her parents, so she patted her little sister.
The little girl thought of many things in an instant. The most important thing is that when she went to college, she didn't go to college for her mother, nor did she study for her mother. If her mother dared to secretly change her choice, she learned the martial arts boxing and punched her mother to the ground—— Liao Xiaomei smiled and nodded: "Uncle Geng, I won't tell."
Liao Miaomiao is mentally fragile. Geng Zhiye did not bother to do this because he was worried that the two sisters would talk about it when they got home and cause trouble again, and something would happen: "Then warm up with me first."
There are not many movements in the whole set of military style boxing, and it was over when Ye Fan came back from shopping for groceries. But Liao Miaomiao and Liao Xiaomei haven't gone back yet. Ye Fan asked: "Did your family cook?"
Liao Miaomiao shook her head: "Not yet."
Ye Fan: "Let's go back and take a look. You two are here, and the eldest brother has to wash the vegetables and light the fire."
When Liao Miaomiao heard that her brother had to do a lot of work, she dragged her sister home. Dabao and his mother came into the house and asked, "Mom, don't you want to go home if you don't see Sister Miaomiao?"
"That's her home, I have to go back eventually." Ye Fan put the seafood in the basin, "If Miaomiao doesn't come home, Zhuang Qiuyue will leave her eldest brother to complain alone. The eldest brother will be upset and dare not resist his mother. As time goes by, he will Wei Miaomiao was disobedient, causing him to be punished.”
Geng Zhiye touched his son's head: "My parents are unreliable. If my younger siblings don't care about her, Miaomiao will not know who to turn to if anything happens in the future."
Dabao seemed to understand: "It's so troublesome."
Geng Zhiye: "Don't worry, our family won't be like this."
Dabao asked his mother: "You want me to take the military academy exam, but if I don't take the exam, will you become Zhuang Qiuyue?"
Ye Fan: "It's useless for me to become her. There is a physical examination required to enter the military academy. If you don't pass, I dare to tie you up?"
"You dare!"
Ye Fan laughed angrily: "The admissions teacher is an army officer, how dare I mess with an officer?"
Dabao nodded again: "You dare! Maybe he is dad's soldier."
Geng Zhiye was amused: "How dare you, mother."
Dabao looked at his mother very proudly and had nothing to say.
Ye Fan pinched his face and went out with the shrimp.
Dabao ignored the pain and trotted to keep up: "Mom, cook some salted duck eggs."
“Don’t want to eat shrimp?”
Dabao nodded: "It's getting less and less delicious."
It's not delicious. Ye Fanxin said that there was no oil or water in his stomach, and even the freshest seafood tasted bitter in his mouth.
When I was shopping for food, I heard from an employee that there would be a ten kilogram limit on pig slaughter on July 30th, and it was only a few days away from July 30th. The rapeseed oil I just bought was enough to last until then. Ye Fan decided to make braised prawns. .
Ye Fan asked: "You don't want to eat the braised prawns either?"
Dabao's eyes lit up: "Eat!"
Ye Fan smiled and went out to collect the shrimps while Geng Zhiye prepared the side dishes. Since the rice cooker has a small grate, Geng Zhiye washed the side dishes and found that the porridge was boiling, so he needed to lift the lid a little, so he simply put the grate on it to heat the steamed buns and left the lid on.
Dabao saw this and went over to cover the pot.
Ye Fan passed the living room carrying the shrimp, saw the rice cooker on the dining table, and opened the lid.
Dabao sighed: "Here are the hot buns."
Geng Zhiye came out of the kitchen: "The steamed buns were bought yesterday afternoon. They are still soft inside after just one night, and they can be heated through without covering the pot."
"Okay." Dabao took off the lid of the pot.
Geng Zhiye said: "It's very fast to cook and heat steamed buns when it's hot. If it's winter, it needs to be covered."
"That's it." Dabao understood, no longer worried about why there was no need to cover the pot, and went to play in the yard with his sister.
Erbao tied one end of the skipping rope to the tree and asked her brother to help her open the other end while she skipped. Dabao discussed with his sister: "I will help you hold the rope, and you will accompany me to pack the paper bag?"
Erbao nodded: "Shall I play for fifteen minutes?"
"Okay!" Dabao shouted into the room, "Mom, what time is it?"
Ye Fan came out and said, "It's not seven o'clock yet. Are you hungry?"
"You call me at ten past seven." Dabao waved his hand, "Go and cook."
Ye Fan reluctantly went back to the house to make prawns.
The food was brought to the living room, and at exactly 7:10, Ye Fan called him to eat.
Dabao took a stack of paper bags and was about to go to the yard to play. He wanted to play for a while before eating. He turned around and saw the shiny prawns in the room. He threw the paper bags on the coffee table and washed his hands.
After the meal, Dabao asked his sister to play with paper bags with him. Erbao shook his head: "I'm full and don't want to go."
"If you sit down after eating, you will turn into a little fat pig." Dabao dragged his sister up, "Shall we go outside to play?"
Erbao had been away for many days and missed the flowers and plants on the island. He immediately got up when he heard this.
Since he will stay at home for a few more days this time, Geng Zhiye will go to the army after his vacation, so Ye Fan can only do the laundry by himself.
After the clothes were hung up, Ye Fan was about to clean the sandals of Dabao Erbao, when he heard her daughter say arrogantly: "Do you know who my brother is? Tell me to beat you!"
Ye Fanxin said, who are you fighting with again?
After wiping his hands, Ye Fan ran out and did not see Geng Erbao. Ye Fan thought she was at Liao's house and walked towards Liao's house. When he passed by the alley, he saw a group of children playing in the alley. Ye Fan walked over a few steps and asked, "What are you doing?"
Erbao ran towards his mother and pointed at the little girl who was half a head taller than her: "She doesn't allow us to skip rope here."
The little girl about ten years old said loudly: "This is a road, not a place for skipping rope. How can I get across if the road is blocked?"
Ye Fan: "Is the rope of the skipping rope placed horizontally?"
Erbao shook his head: "No. Put it like this." Draw a line with his hand.
Little girl: "But they are placed in the middle. The road outside is so wide, why don't you play on the road?"
Erbao: "There is sun on the road and there is shade here. Aren't you stupid?"
"You are the stupid one!" the little girl yelled: "You are the stupidest!"
Erbao ran over: "Say it again? I won't hit you, and my name is not Geng Erbao!"
The little girl looked at Ye Fan subconsciously.
Erbao: "Don't look at my mother. I can't beat you and my brother, so there's no need for my mother to take action. Mom, go do the laundry!"
Ye Fan put one hand in his pocket and looked at Liu Qing's daughter. By the way, the little girl who thought Er Bao was blocking the road was Liu Qing's eldest daughter, who was in the same class as Dabao. "Have you forgotten that this is an alley and not a road?"< br>
Liu Qing's daughter subconsciously asked: "What do you mean?"
Erbao wrinkled his nose in disgust: "I don't understand what it means, and I still say that I'm not stupid. My mother means that this is not the way."
Ye Fan nodded: "Why don't you take the main road instead of going into an alley?"
The little daughter said without thinking: "It's closer from here."
Ye Fan: "You want to take a shortcut and blame others for blocking the way. Are you being unreasonable? Besides, this is the alley between my family and the Liao family. Erbao should blame you for hindering her rope skipping."
Erbao nodded: "It's unreasonable to hit him with a rake!"
The little girl pointed at Ye Fan: "Adults bully children, I want to tell my mother!"
Ye Fan: "Then don't forget to tell your mother that you are several years older than Erbao, and older children bully younger children."
The little girl who was about to run home paused, her face turned red, and after a moment of hesitation, she ran north. Erbao was very worried when he saw this: "Mom, have I gotten into trouble?"
"It's okay, she doesn't dare to tell her mother." Ye Fan told the children, "Don't quarrel. Let's discuss any dissatisfaction."
Six little boys and daughters who were similar in age to Erbao nodded together.
Ye Fan asked: "Where is your brother? Erbao."
Erbao pointed to the next door.
Ye Fan came out of the alley, hesitated for a moment at the entrance of the alley, and decided to go home - Dabao was sensible and would definitely not quarrel with Zhuang Qiuyue.
Dabao doesn't quarrel with Zhuang Qiuyue. Dabao is polite and can talk well.
It turns out that Dabao and his sister went outside, and Erbao pretended to skip the rope. After jumping the rope, he accompanied his brother to pack paper bags. Dabaoxin said, you said the same thing before breakfast. Dabao didn't believe Erbao, so Dabao told Erbao to stay somewhere cool while he went next door to play with Brother Liao.
Arriving at the door of Liao's living room, Dabao was too embarrassed to go in directly because Ye Fan had taught him that if the courtyard door was closed, he had to ask if anyone was there. The courtyard door is open and you can go in, but when you go to someone's room, you have to knock on the door and ask, and then you can go in after being allowed.
Dabao was about to ask: "Can I come in?" But before he could say anything, he heard Zhuang Qiuyue scolding the younger sister for not being able to see, and scolding the elder brother for not knowing how to sweep the floor. At that time, the elder brother was wiping the table with a rag, and she scolded her again Liao Miaomiao sat down after eating.
Dabao was stunned when he heard this. He counted the three of them in a few words. He was simply more powerful than his mother.
Zhuang Qiuyue turned around with a broom to sweep the floor. When she saw Dabao, she called Dabao in. Dabao came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Aunt Zhuang, you are so busy."
"Yes. Serve three ancestors." Zhuang Qiuyue replied.
Dabao: "Aunt Zhuang, why are you sweeping the floor?"
"Carry water to wash clothes." Dabao asked again: "Do you want to wash for a long time?"
"No, my clothes are thin in summer, it will be fine in a while."
Dabao: "Have you finished your work and prepare lunch?"
"Lunch is early."
Dabao asked again: "Can you take a rest after your work?"
"That's right. What happened to Dabao?" Zhuang Qiuyue was surprised.
Dabao looked confused: "You are so anxious, I thought you had to go to work after washing your clothes."
Zhuang Qiuyue never imagined that a big kid wanted to squeeze on her. She didn't understand, so she asked Dabao what he meant.
Dabao pointed at his eldest brother: "He works slowly, and you scolded him, so I thought there would be more work later. It turns out that your family doesn't have a lot of work."
Zhuang Qiuyue vaguely understood. Perhaps the stereotype of men made her think that Dabao did not understand the yin and yang: "Finish early and rest early."
Dabao: "You hope to finish it early and rest early, but we kids can't finish it slowly? Why do we have to be like you adults?"
Zhuang Qiuyue understood this time. Since she usually lowered her head but did not raise her head to see each other, it was difficult to get into trouble. Dabao was also the son of Captain Geng. Zhuang Qiuyue was reluctant to obey: "Have you finished your summer vacation homework?"
Dabao nodded: "I'm done. Aunt Zhuang, don't worry about me, I will definitely be admitted to university. But I won't take the exam for Hangzhou Normal University. I want to go to a key university in Hangzhou, the same school as Uncle Su Yuanhang."
Zhuang Qiuyue was immediately speechless.
Just as Brother Liao was cleaning the table, he quickly dropped the rag and dragged Dabao into his room.
Zhuang Qiuyue couldn't breathe out and felt aggrieved. She went to the next door to press the water. When she saw Ye Fan cleaning his shoes, she said, "Your Dabao is really awesome. He is so young and has a rough mouth."
Ye Fan was stunned for a moment, and when he saw her expression of worry, he thought to himself that she had never quarreled with Dabao? Even if there was no quarrel, Ye Fan had no intention of scolding his son for being ignorant and quarreling with his elders. Ye Fan asked: "Did you quarrel with the eldest brother? Or did you bully the younger sister? Don't be angry, I will beat him when he comes back."
Zhuang Qiuyue was immediately afraid that Ye Fan would ask what was going on with Dabao. She didn't want Ye Fan to think that she was an adult arguing with a little kid, but she couldn't take back what she said. She looked a little embarrassed: "No. I just heard him talking to someone. Talk, it’s very powerful. It’s hard to control after that.”
Ye Fan smiled and said: "Maybe he learned it from my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law is a bit of a gossip. But he is still young. It will be fine when he grows up and becomes sensible."
"If you don't correct him while he is easy to control when he is young, he will become even worse when he grows up."
Ye Fan shook his head: "No way. Didn't Miao Miao feel that the Agricultural University was good last year? I heard that this year I will enroll in the Teachers College? It's only half a year, right? Isn't that sensible?"
Zhuang Qiuyue opened her mouth and wanted to ask if your family always talks to people like this. But she didn't have the nerve to ask, fearing that Ye Fan would ask her what Dabao said. "That's right, I forgot." Zhuang Qiuyue carried two buckets of water and left. She took two steps out and then stopped when she remembered something. "How did you know that Miao Miao enrolled in a teachers' college?"
Based on what Miaomiao said about her mother nagging her a few words when she thought about volunteering, Ye Fan guessed that Zhuang Qiuyue must not be able to resist showing off to others. Miaomiao committed suicide last year, so this year she still listened to her application for a junior high school. Ye Fan asked: "I heard from several people that it was you who said it. Are they lying?"
"This - no." Zhuang Qiuyue shook her head: "I said it. Tell me, what was the reason for her trouble last year? She didn't enroll in teachers' college this year. I said she was ignorant, and she wasn't happy."
Ye Fan: "Bachelor's degree from Agricultural University, three-year junior college from Normal College, a little lower than Agricultural University."
"Then why didn't she apply to the Agricultural University this year?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "I just came back yesterday, so I don't know what she was thinking. Maybe she was afraid that you would take rat poison."
Zhuang Qiuyue said angrily: "I'm not her."
"Miaomiao is not you either. I don't know what you are thinking." Ye Fanhe analyzed with her angrily, "Did you not tell Miaomiao that she will continue to apply for Agricultural University this year, and you won't be so angry that you drink rat poison?"
Zhuang Qiuyue wanted to say, why should I tell her this? I haven't lived enough. But when he thought about Ye Fan saying that Miaomiao didn't know what she was thinking, he couldn't refute, "She has such big ideas, even if I say it, people won't believe it." He shook his head, "If you don't talk about her, I will get angry when talking about her."
Ye Fanxin said, you will be angry in the future. However, she was worried that she would be so angry that she would throw a bucket and make a mess. Ye Fan said nothing, smiled silently and continued to clean his shoes.
The room was hot, and there was no small fan in Brother Liao's room. Dabao ran out after playing in his bedroom for a while and saw Zhuang Qiuyue washing clothes in the living room: "Aunt Zhuang, are you washing clothes?"
Zhuang Qiuyue nodded subconsciously.
Dabao turned around and said to his eldest brother behind him: "Hurry and help Aunt Zhuang wash the clothes." Seeing the little sister squatting on the ground playing with stones, he said, "Little sister, you don't have any eyesight!" After saying that, Dabao jumped out of the door with a bang. Zhuang Qiuyue was startled, and just as she was about to scold the naughty kid, the naughty kid ran out.
Zhuang Qiuyue was so angry that she scolded her son: "You are not allowed to play with Dabao from now on, because he - his grandma has spoiled him!"
Brother Liao originally wanted to grab Geng Dabao and ask, "How can I talk to brother? No matter how big or small!" Seeing his mother's furious look, his brother understood that Dabao did it on purpose. Dadi said in his heart that Dabao is really a clever little guy.
Dadi held back his laughter and nodded: "Mom, do you want me to help you?"
"What do you know how to wash? Go and do your summer homework." Zhuang Qiuyue was upset when she heard the pebbles falling to the ground, "Little sister, go read a book! Playing with pebbles every day, you are full of pebbles, can they still help you study?"
The little girl went back to the house with the stones. Zhuang Qiuyue couldn't help shouting: "Come out and wash your hands!"
Ye Fan heard everything clearly in his courtyard and saw Dabao coming in with a smile: "Are you angry?"
Dabao: "I didn't. She wanted to be angry."
Ye Fan saw a lot of sweat on his forehead: "Come here and wash your face."
Dabao found that the basin was clean: "Mom, do you still need the basin?"
Ye Fan said no. Dabao pressed a basin of water, but he couldn't carry it by himself, so he asked his mother to take it to the vegetable field to dry, leaving him to take a bath in the afternoon. He didn't see his sister in the house, so he ran out and asked, "Where is the second treasure?"
Ye Fan looked towards the alley next door.
Dabao went over and asked Erbao to come back. Erbao was sweating after playing for more than half an hour. She wanted to drink water and eat melon, but she didn't want to be separated from her friends, so she asked her friends to go to her house.
When Ye Fan saw a bunch of children coming in, he picked a few more tomatoes and cucumbers, washed a full plate and carried it to the living room: "Er Bao, have you washed your hands?"
Erbao, like a little boss, stood up and waved: "Wash your hands."
Several children immediately followed him out. If their parents saw them, they would definitely be confused. Why do they listen to their second child so much without washing their hands when eating?
When Dabao saw this, he said: "Mom, Erbao is the eldest sister."
"You are the eldest brother!"
Dabao shook his head: "I am my little brother."
Ye Fan was speechless and wanted to laugh: "Brother Liao, who is he?"
Dabao nodded: "You don't know much about me. Even though he is so much taller than me, I can't beat him. He wants to be my big brother every day. He loves to cheat so much. What a beautiful idea!"
Ye Fan gave him half a tomato: "What did you do, brother?"
"We made a bet. The loser called the winner daddy. If he lost, he called me brother." Dabao got angry when he thought of this, "He is rebellious!"
Ye Fan choked on the tomato. Dabao quickly gave her the handkerchief in his pocket: "What's wrong, mom?"
"You -" Ye Fan stretched out his hand, and Dabao handed over the water glass. Ye Fan took two sips to smooth his throat, "If he asks you, do you dare to agree?"
Dabao: "Why don't you dare? Just don't let Zhuang Qiuyue and Liao Sanyang hear it."
"You still know." Ye Fan rolled his eyes at him, "Zhuang Qiuyue just came to tell me that you are awesome."
Dabao shook his head: "Not as powerful as her, a murderer!"
Ye Fan couldn't help but glare at him: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Just telling you." Dabao muttered, and when he saw Erbao and her friends coming in, he blocked his mouth with a tomato.
Ye Fan was worried and waited for Er Bao's friends to go home for dinner, then told Dabao not to talk nonsense.
Dabao waved his hand: "I know. Let's go cook."
"Come here and I'll teach you how to cook noodles."
Dabao jumped to the kitchen and watched his mother open the stove and fan the stove. When the fire came up, Ye Fan poured a lot of hot water into the pot. The water boiled quickly. Ye Fan put the noodles in, Then take it out and soak it in cold water.
Dabao asked: "Would you like cold noodles?"
Ye Fan nodded: "The pigs will be killed at the vegetable market in a few days. Mom will buy more."
In the early morning of July 30th, Ye Fan was awakened by the screams of pigs. He immediately got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and then went to the vegetable market to wait.
Ye Fan bought five kilograms of pork belly, two kilograms of pork leg and two kilograms of ribs.
When he got home, Ye Fan prepared the side dishes, cooked the porridge, stewed the ribs on the stove, and then cut a pound of pork belly for cooking.
It was cool in the morning and comfortable to sleep in. Dabao and Erbao didn't think about it when they woke up, but the scent was so tempting that they couldn't lie down. Knowing that their mother was preparing delicious food in the kitchen, the brother and sister went to the public toilet by themselves and came back to brush their teeth and wash their faces.
Since the ribs needed to be simmered for a while and they couldn't eat quickly, the brother and sister did Tai Chi in the living room.
As soon as Ye Fan talked about eating, the brother and sister pulled up the table to get the dishes and chopsticks, even more actively than during the Chinese New Year.
Even though they were mentally prepared, they didn't expect two meat dishes. Dabao and Erbao shared a piece of meat and had a bite of pork ribs. Ye Fan saw them wolfing down: "Chew carefully and slowly. No one will compete with you. There are many more in the kitchen. Mom will make braised pork rice for lunch and make dumplings at night."
The siblings slowed down. Dabao also gave his mother a piece of pork ribs: "Mom, is our family rich?"
"Three pigs were killed at the vegetable market today. If it hadn't been for the hot weather, the meat would smell bad after not eating it for a day, and the marinated meat couldn't be kept for many days, so my mother would have bought another pair of pig offal and marinated it."
Dabao: "It would be nice if I killed pigs more often."
Ye Fan asked the market workers how many pigs there were on the island. The wet market said there are still sixty or seventy black pigs on the island. Ye Fan calculated, seven heads a month, enough to kill until the end of the year, "It will get better and better in the future. Erbao, drink some porridge."
Erbao takes a sip of porridge and eats a piece of meat and a piece of ribs.
Seeing that her mouth was full of oil, Ye Fan took out his handkerchief and said, "Don't rub it on your clothes."
Erbao didn't bother to look up and nodded while taking the handkerchief.
Not surprisingly, the brother and sister were full.
Lying down to eat, the brother and sister ran outside and back. As if they had discovered spies, they came to Ye Fan and whispered: "Mom, there are many outsiders here. Go and have a look!"
"You are here to buy vegetables at the vegetable market." Ye Fan said, "You two don't come close, just play here."
The first time they saw a group of grandparents going to the vegetable market, Dabao and Erbao were surprised. When their mother wasn't paying attention, they called a few friends and sneaked to the bamboo gate at the intersection leading to the vegetable market to take a look.
Brother Liao saw an old man carrying a pole and asked, "Can you buy so much food and eat it all?"
“Eat it all!”
A familiar voice came from behind. The eldest brother turned around and said subconsciously: "His house——" Seeing that the speaker was Liu Guihua, "Aunt Liu? Are you going too?"
Liu Guihua shook her head: "Seeing you all here, I thought there was a fight, so I came over to take a look." She glanced in the direction of the vegetable market, "A family eats meat once a month, and each person shares a little, and his stomach can't stand it. There is more seafood than meat outside." It’s cheaper and more expensive than here, so I don’t want to eat it, but I don’t eat pork or seafood. The vegetables smell stinky every day. It makes people feel weak after eating them.”
Dabao: "My mother said they don't eat but only drink porridge."
Dadi asked: "No rice?"
Dabao nodded.
Dadi imagined eating green vegetables and rice soup every day, and couldn't help but shudder, "No wonder I bought so much. The vegetable market has given out!"
Liu Guihua: "I can't make it. It's much cheaper than in the city, so I'm just making hard money."
Even though they have worked hard to earn money, the islanders are still very happy, because they can only smash the small seafood to feed chickens, ducks and geese because they cannot sell out. Although large fish can be made into dried fish, not every kind of fish is suitable. For example, hairtail must be fried and crispy if not canned. Either type of reprocessing requires a lot of oil. Ye Fan has no such connections, and the cost of canned fish is high, and the Caotai team does not have that much money at this stage.
Ye Fan carefully calculated that it would take at most two years for someone to set up a stall. It is more cost-effective to buy soybean oil produced by farmers themselves than to get oil produced by public institutions. As the market economy becomes more active, food factories don't have to look at relevant units to make custom cans. If you don't do it, others will do it.
Ye Fan didn't wait two years.
Four months later, Ye Fan read the "Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee" in the newspaper, and then saw the government's decision to implement the policy of domestic reform and opening up to the outside world. Ye Fan thought it would take several months to spread the word to the commune, but he didn't expect that the last day of December fell on a Sunday. Ye Fan went to the vegetable market early in the morning to wait for the pigs to be slaughtered. The director of the vegetable market asked with a newspaper, "This will adapt to local conditions and give full play to their production enthusiasm." What does it mean? ”
Ye Fan was surprised that he was so active and asked deliberately: "You don't know?"
The director shook his head: "I don't know."
After he finished speaking, the captain of the Shanxi brigade came over. The pigs he was killing today were not the pigs of his production team. He wanted to buy some ribs to stew old tofu. When he saw the newspaper, he couldn't help but ask: "Accountant Ye, allocate fields to households and take responsibility for their own profits and losses." , is it like before eating in a big pot after the founding of the People's Republic of China? ”
Ye Fan: "Yes. Isn't it bad?
The captain nodded: "I think it's good. But Secretary Su said that the higher-ups didn't ask us to provide households with farmland. They just said that we could try this policy, and who would be responsible if it fails."
Ye Fan frowned, not to mention that it would not fail because this was not an unprecedented new policy. To put it bluntly, as the secretary of the commune, he didn't want to think about how to take precautions, but actually thought about failure first. Is he worthy of the country's monthly salary?
Ye Fan: "Just tell me what I said later, and hand him over to the higher authorities if you fail!"
