Chapter 230 is her husband’s child
In order to distribute the meat as early as possible, the captain asked the people responsible for handling the prey to work overtime. When the time comes, these people who work overtime will be given an extra two kilograms of meat as a reward.
In the evening, Xiao Fengfeng and the three of them came to have dinner at home. In order to celebrate the safe return of Xia Qi and Xiao Fengfeng, Xia Chan made a sumptuous dinner, including chicken stewed with mushrooms, spicy fish cubes, mutton soup, braised pork, and peanut and pig's trotters soup. , fried eggs with leeks, braised radish strips, and fried shredded cabbage with shredded pork.
I steamed a large basket of white, plump and soft steamed buns, and added a little sugar to them when kneading the noodles, so the steamed buns tasted slightly sweet.
"Xiao Fengfeng, Brother Qi, you have worked hard in the mountains for hunting. Eat more tonight, sleep well at night, and then prepare for the New Year." Xia Chan said.
"Actually, being on the mountain is not very tiring. We are divided into small teams, eat on time and rest on time, but we can't wash up and look like savages." Xiao Fengfeng said, but for him, it was also a magical experience.
After all, if he had not come to Yongan Production Team, he might not have had the opportunity to experience such a thing in his life.
"Xiao Fengfeng, what are you going to do with your meat? Do you want to smoke it into bacon with us, keep it for eating slowly, and then send some to your family?" Xiao Fengfeng lives alone and can divide dozens of kilograms of meat!
"Yes, yes, when the time comes, Tiantian and I will keep a third of it to eat fresh, and the rest will be smoked into bacon." Xiao Fengfeng said immediately.
Although meat can be bought at home, there is not much available on the market, and they can only buy it through other channels privately. He sends the meat home, so the family does not have to look for other channels, but the meat is not available before the Chinese New Year. I can't send it. Today is already the 25th of the twelfth lunar month.
Pickling and smoking both take time, and it is estimated that it will not be sent home until after the Lantern Festival.
Xiao Tiantian and Yuan Bingbing live together. The two of them share a portion of meat, and each of them can get dozens of kilograms. Yuan Bingbing's home is close, and if she shares the meat, she will definitely take it home for the New Year, so Xia Bingbing Cicada doesn't have to help her smoke the bacon.
After dinner, Yuan Bingbing brought Zhou Ji a lunch box of food and went back. When she came to Zhou Ji's dormitory, she called him out and handed him the lunch box. When Yuan Bingbing turned to leave, Zhou Ji held her hand. Hands, came to the place where we usually chat.
"Cold!" Yuan Bingbing said helplessly, she wanted to go back to the warm room quickly.
"It'll be fine in a moment." Zhou Ji stretched out his arms to hug Yuan Bingbing and said softly, "I miss you."
After staying in the mountains for so many days, he really missed her. If he didn't want to share more meat for when there was no food in the spring, would he have gone to the mountains so hard?
Yuan Bingbing leaned in Zhou Ji's arms, feeling the warmth in his arms, "I miss you too, and I feel relieved to see that you are back well."
The temperature was very low at night, so the two of them didn't stay outside for long. They chatted for a few words and hurried back to the dormitory.
There were so many prey items that we didn’t finish them until noon on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month. Then we began to distribute the meat to everyone after lunch. First, we distributed the meat to the members of the winter hunting team. Each person received ten kilograms, and then we distributed the meat to everyone. , bones, sewer, blood sausage, etc. Share them all. After all, there are so many. If the team cooks pig-killing dishes, we don’t know how long it will take to cook them. Moreover, we have already eaten pig-killing dishes when we killed the New Year pig a few days ago, so we will distribute them to each house. , If you want to eat pig-killing vegetables, just make it yourself.
The Yong'an production team now has a telephone connection, making it much easier to contact the outside world. Yuan Bingbing called her colleagues and friends in the county in the morning and told them that the meat would be distributed in the afternoon, and those who wanted to exchange meat could bring good things to exchange. . You must bring the things that the country people are most in need of. You can no longer bring old clothes and shoes, because now people are not in short supply of these things.
The day after Zhou Ji came back, he borrowed the team's phone to call his mother to report that he was safe. His mother almost cried when she heard Zhou Ji's voice on the phone. After all, it was her first time to go hunting in the mountains. After such a long time, what mother doesn’t feel distressed?
Then yesterday afternoon Zhou Ji called his mother again and told her that the meat would probably be divided today and asked her to bring something to exchange for the meat. It happened to be that she could also meet Xia Qi so that others would not suspect her. The real purpose of coming to the countryside.
On the surface, they are here to exchange for meat, but secretly, they are here to confirm the illegitimate child.
While everyone was dividing the meat, Yuan Bingbing's colleagues came over carrying things on donkey carts. The villagers who had already distributed the meat came over to see if there was anything they needed. If it was not something they needed now, they would not waste the meat and exchange it. .
After all, smoked bacon can last a whole year!
There is no need to replace things that are missing at home.
Zhou Ji's mother also came over at this time. Although she came to confirm whether the illegitimate child was true, she did not forget to bring a bunch of nutritional supplements to her son before coming because this was the first year her son went to the countryside and there was no family leave. , he could only go back quietly occasionally and could not stay at home for a long time.
Zhou Ji saw his mother coming and hurried forward to greet her, "Mom, you are here. We are dividing the meat today. When I get my meat, you can take some home to eat."
Seeing her son being so considerate to her, Mother Zhou felt a little comfort in her heart. If her husband really cheated and had an illegitimate child, she would still have her son to protect her. She would not be alone and helpless, and 80% of the family's property now belongs to her. In her hands, she also bought a wedding house in Zhou Ji's name. Even if the illegitimate child was really brought home by her husband, she wouldn't be able to take advantage of it.
She has worked hard for her family for decades, and it is impossible for her to be old and give away her hard-earned property to others.
"Xiaoji, where is the young man who looks like your dad? Take me there now to have a look." Mother Zhou said.
"It's over there." Zhou Ji pointed at Xia Qi, who was not far away.
When Zhou's mother saw Xia Qi's face, she was so shocked that everything in her hands fell to the ground. This young man really looked like her husband when he was young, at least 80% similar.
Two people have a three-quarter resemblance. It can be said that they look alike, but two people who are so similar cannot be explained by just saying they look alike.
Zhou's mother was already sure that this Xia Qi was her husband's child. She just didn't know when her husband betrayed her. Judging from her age, it was before the marriage. She just didn't know if she had any contact with the mother and son after the marriage. .
Thinking that her husband had been flying flags outside all these years and keeping her secret so tightly, Mother Zhou felt extremely sick in her heart.
"Xiaoji, please take me to your dormitory to rest!" Zhou's mother said.
Zhou Ji went over to talk to the educated youth in the same dormitory, and took Zhou's mother to his dormitory. The double room was slightly larger, but not as big as his own room at home.
