Chapter 252 Friendship in the fishing village, an appointment with Uncle Kong
"Captain Zhao, why are you here? What's going on? Come on, come on, sit down in the room, let's have a good chat."< br>
Captain Zhao had helped a lot in the beginning and was also an honest person. He left a very good impression on Zhu Xuefeng, who hurriedly welcomed him into the house.
"Comrade Xiao Zhu, I finally found you. This capital is too big. Xiao Zhu, you seem to have grown a little taller, you are taller than me."
Zhao Benhai put down the sack. , shook hands with Zhu Xuefeng vigorously, then gestured to Zhu Xuefeng's head with his hand, and smiled heartily.
“This is Zhao Qinghong’s cousin Zhao Qingjun, you guys should have met him.”
The two shook hands affectionately.
“We’ve seen each other before, but we stayed far away and didn’t say hello. Come on, let’s sit.”
“Xuesong made tea for the guests, and Xuemei brought the snacks. "
Zhu Xuefeng hurriedly entertained the guests, and the two of them placed the sacks directly behind the door of the middle room. Both sacks smelled of seafood. Needless to say, they were bringing seafood.
Zhao Benhai waved his hand and said.
"It's not urgent, it's not urgent. You have to get rid of these two sacks first. It was a bumpy road and it took more than two days to get here."
"Now , the temperature has also risen a little, and I’m afraid it will go bad if I leave it any longer.”
These two sacks of things look like they are young and old, and they must be very tired after carrying them all the way. Well, if there are no accidents, it will be full of seafood. Sure enough, Zhao Benhai said directly.
"These are all fish and shrimps we caught a few years ago, as well as some dried sea cucumbers. We picked some and sent them to you. This life is better, thank you!"
It turns out that because Zhu Xuefeng went to Zhaojiacun in the first half of the year, and later went to the steel rolling mill during the National Day, there was basically no seafood in stock this year in the village.
The income of every household has been greatly improved, and life is obviously much better. The village recently received a certificate and commendation from the Fisheries Bureau, and the village is now filled with joy.
Several villages drank water and thought about the source. They felt that this was all the benefits brought by Zhu Xuefeng, so everyone picked and packed two sacks of seafood.
We haven’t set off yet. The train from the steel rolling mill arrived a few days ago. Now it seems that the harvest from the previous year has been cleared up.
The two of them set off directly without waiting for the train. After two days of riding, they delivered it to Zhu Xuefeng, saying they wanted to express their gratitude. This man from Dong Lu is really honest and honest.
"This can't be done, this can't be done, there are too many, who can eat them all?"
Zhu Xuefeng shook his head with a smile, and looked worried at the two sacks.
Zhao Wenhai also said with a smile.
"Comrade Xiao Zhu, this is the kindness of our fishing villages. We have all come all the way here, and you can't possibly ask us to carry it back."
"You guys Why don't you wait for the train to come back from the steel rolling mill? How much trouble can you save?"
Zhao Benhai blinked and smiled mysteriously.
"We have chosen everything here ourselves. After we have finished choosing, we will set off. The things here are better than those on the train. If we ship them here together, I guess you won't have a share."
This honest man was quite thoughtful. Several people sent the two sacks into the cellar before they came out and sat down again.
"You don't know. We were confused as soon as we got off the train. The capital is too big, so I was worried about how to complete the tasks in this village..."
Zhao Benhai scratched He scratched his head and smiled honestly.
It turned out that the two of them were confused when they got off the bus. The police at the station noticed something strange about them and took them directly to the police station in front of the station. After struggling for a while, they were released.
I asked about the tram stop sign, and found out that I had two sacks with me, which smelled quite strong. The conductor politely suggested that they find a car to take them there, which was not too far away.
The two of them didn't know where to look for a car, so they stupidly walked around the station square several times carrying sacks before someone took the initiative to strike up a conversation and took them to a nearby alley. Finally, they found a cart to deliver them over.
"You two are really tired. I really can't afford it, Captain Zhao..., OK, OK, I won't say anything anymore."
A few people chatted for a while. The changes in the fishing village. Seeing Zhao Qingjun's eyes always looking at the snacks involuntarily, but not taking any, Zhu Xuefeng realized that the two of them might still be hungry and had to prepare lunch.
"Sorry, sorry, I was just chatting. I didn't ask you if you had eaten after you got off the car. Let's have some snacks first. I'll start now."
"No need." Well, we have completed the task. We will return to the station in a while. We have bought the tickets and we have to rush back to celebrate the New Year.” number.
"Captain Zhao, this bus is only available at night. You can't deceive me about this. I have made several trips. I will refund the tickets for you later. Have a good rest and talk tomorrow."< br>
Captain Zhao’s tone was very firm. "That's not possible. There are a lot of things going on in the village. Let's do this. We'll just bother you. We really have to leave today..."
Seeing that it was impossible to retain him, Zhu Xuefeng had no choice but to give in.
"Okay, you two wait here for a while and have some snacks. I'll start now. Let's chat while eating."
There is no shortage of ingredients, considering the two He was probably starving, and he didn't do anything that was time-consuming. He mainly focused on cooking. With the help of his younger brothers and sisters, a sumptuous lunch was soon served on the table.
The richness was also an eye-opener for both of them. It was all chicken, eggs, and meat. It was not complicated, but I had never eaten many of them. Zhu Xuefeng used wild boar and yellow mutton.
Only two meat dishes were prepared, and a chicken braised yesterday was torn into a plate, and then garnished with two vegetables and an egg custard. According to their habit, they prepared a little green onions. Dip.
“It’s too much, it’s too much. If you eat like this, you have to eat all the New Year’s food prepared by your family...”
Looking at the hard dishes that were served one after another, the two of them felt a little uneasy. , if you eat all the people's New Year's Eve, coming to thank them this time will be considered as causing trouble, and it will be counterproductive.
"These wild boars and yellow sheep are from the mountains. I was lucky enough to catch them myself. You will also bring some back to try some later. This chicken was sent by relatives in the village, and I also have it at home..."
It took a while for the two of them to feel relieved, and they took a few more bottles of wine, knowing that men at the beach can drink, but today is Saturday, and they are both at work, and they really can’t find anyone to drink with them, so they just I can get on by myself.
“We don’t have as much culture as you do when it comes to drinking. We don’t have many primary or secondary companions. My younger brothers and sisters are still young and don’t drink. I’m the only one accompanying you today. I’m sorry for the slightness.”
The two of them were not picky, but were polite and toasted together. It was really early in the morning when they got off the car without filling their stomachs. They were already starving. Besides, they had never eaten food from the mountains, so they were full of praise.
"Captain Zhao, you just said that the living conditions in the village are much better now...".
…
“The South China Sea you mentioned, we don’t go to at all now. We are mainly in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea. We basically don’t even go to the East China Sea. The South China Sea may only be found in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Come on, there are no big boats now, and they can’t go far.”
The boats in the past were smaller. I don’t know what kind of boats our ancestors rowed to the South China Sea. The distance is really far. In the past, there were people who specialized in fishing for pearls in the South China Sea. It was not easy.
The few of them chatted farther and farther, from the near sea to the far sea, and slowly to the small days and Southeast Asia.
The three of them were chatting very enthusiastically. Xuesong Xuemei could only listen and provide services at the same time. How come the eldest brother knew a little bit about everything.
In the end, the two of them failed to leave in the afternoon. It must have been damaged by the two days of long distance travel. In addition, they drank a lot of wine, which made them feel sleepy, so they rested on the two brothers' beds.
"Brother, these two people drink so much. Each of them weighs more than a pound. How are you okay?"
"Are you okay? I ran away for several days without seeing your brother. I went to the toilet and vomited.”
Zhu Xuefeng's technique has already passed the third level, and it can regulate the breath. There is no problem with drinking this amount of wine. I really can't bear to vomit, but now I am really dizzy.
"Second brother, prepare some tea for them. I think someone will ask for water soon. Then, go make some porridge and cut some cold vegetables. There are a lot of leftovers. Plus these, the next meal should be That’s enough. When everyone gets up to rest their stomachs, I have to take a nap first. I feel dizzy and uncomfortable.”
Zhu Xuefeng also fell asleep on the younger sister’s bed in a daze, and someone spoke in a daze. , these two men actually got up. They had just rested for a while, and they drank a lot.
He could only hold on and drag everyone to have some more dinner. Zhao Benhai couldn't shirk it, so he interrupted another meal. Zhao Benhai repeatedly said he wouldn't drink the dinner, and if he drank more, he wouldn't be leaving today. .
Zhao Benhai patted Zhu Xuefeng on the shoulder.
"Good boy, I really can't tell. You are so good at drinking, and you really dare to drink. If we were one-on-one, we really can't drink you."
Zhu Xuefeng smiled bitterly to himself, and used it himself Only by cheating on the exercises did he persevere. One-on-one, he should be no match.
The three of them had to catch the evening train, and they couldn't stay. Zhu Xuefeng had no choice but to pack some wild boar and yellow mutton for them, as well as several large packages of various dried mushrooms.
“It’s just some products from the mountains, it’s a little bit of my consideration. If you don’t accept it, how can I have the nerve to keep your seafood products? They are all specialties. That’s it. Stop talking about it.”< br>
Zhao Benhai and the others were embarrassed to accept it. Zhu Xuefeng wanted to pay, but was directly stopped by Zhao Benhai. "Brother Xiao Zhu, I'm supposed to be scolded by our village for bringing you so many things back. If you still pay, I really can't explain it when I go back. We don't even have these things of yours, and this bag is worth a few bags compared to ours." Even more valuable…”
The brothers rode their bikes and drove them to the station. Zhao Benhai held Zhu Xuefeng's hand.
“You must come when you have time. Now that our village has money, we have bought a bigger boat and can travel further. Next time you come, I will take you out to sea and let you feel the sea. Enthusiasm, haha...".
"Okay, it's settled. Haha"
The hands of several people were firmly held together...
…
"Brother, it seems that everyone who has interacted with you has become a friend. The same goes for people from Niu Village, and I think the same goes for people from the furniture factory. How did you do this? "
On the way back, the two brothers said thoughtfully.
"Actually, it doesn't matter. If you treat others as friends and treat each other sincerely, of course others will do the same. Of course, there are people. Some people are not worth dealing with. You should slowly understand this."
Looking at Zhao Benhai and the other two entering the station, the two brothers chatted and walked away.
The three brothers and sisters are collecting seafood in the cellar. The variety is really rich. The biggest feature is that it is large. They are really picked out. The same is true for sea cucumbers. They are probably better than first-class ones.
"Decorate it and I will send it to my godmother and Coach Gao's house in a moment. This is too much. I have never seen such a big yellow croaker."
Both. It's a good thing. You'll have to find an opportunity to store it later. It won't last long in the cellar. It would be a pity if it breaks.
The little girl inspected the inventory in the cellar and came over gloomily.
“Brother, there are only more than five kilograms of yellow mutton left, but there are dozens of kilograms of wild boar meat left. Just give me more wild boar meat and keep the yellow mutton.”
Zhu Xuefeng scratched the little girl's nose.
“Look at how stingy you are. I’ve given you so many good things, but you’re still not happy. You’re always feeling sorry for that bit of yellow mutton. Do you know what these things are?”
"Okay, don't feel bad. If you have a chance, big brother will catch two more for you, won't you?"
I have been hanging around dozens of kilograms of yellow mutton for more than half a year, and I have been reluctant to part with it. Now I am giving it away, little one. The girl is still a little distressed. It would be great to give her wild boar meat.
Zhu Xuefeng also plans to send all the wild boars away at some time. He will only keep a few kilograms for himself. It will be too long to keep it. Although it was kept in the space before, but think about it after nine months, it is still Let's deal with it quickly.
"You have to eat this meat as soon as possible. It won't be good if it takes too long. You and your second brother stay at home while I go to coach Gao's house and godmother's house."
Coach Gao didn't say anything. Gao Bo was asked to collect all the seafood and wild boar meat, and they chatted for a while before rushing to their godmother's house.
"Xiao Feng, where did you get these? They are all so big."
Director Wang still knows the goods. These things are obviously not ordinary, they are much bigger than before.
Zhu Xuefeng scratched his head and had no choice but to explain everything, then turned around and sold the fishing village.
This child has such a good character. He can go to the beach and make friends. Director Wang looked at his godson and became more and more satisfied.
“I didn’t expect that I would make friends with you in this village. Didn’t you just go there once?”
“Well, my younger brother and sister went there once in the summer, and then rolled steel. The factory went to collect the goods twice more, and by the way, the feed factory still has enough materials.”
“Thanks to the support of the steel rolling mill last National Day, we got a lot, enough for this year. "Why are you asking about this? I have never seen you care about the feed factory."
The godmother was joking. The feed factory is directly managed by the subdistrict office, so who else needs to care about it.
"The train from the non-rolling steel mill is coming back again. They have dried a lot of the small fish and shrimps you asked for. They have brought them here again this time. You have to find a place to store them. I heard them say there are quite a lot of them. "
Director Wang has a headache. There are already many things to do during this Chinese New Year. So many raw materials are coming in all at once, and the warehouse is a problem. Let Xiao Xu worry about it when he goes to work tomorrow.
…
Asked about the preparations for the New Year, knowing that Zhu Xuefeng was almost ready, he said casually.
“Tomorrow and Sunday, the sub-district office will notify you. Each household will receive two taels of sesame paste and two taels of sesame oil based on their supply instinct. Your yard will leave it to you. You will be notified later, and you can get it when you go to work in the morning.”< br>
“When new year supplies arrive in the future, we will also notify you door-to-door. I think we will have to make several trips.”
"You all have a holiday, but you have time to let the elders in your compound worry about it. There are only a few households in the house, the old and the young. Let them make good arrangements and don't make any mistakes for me again. , It’s embarrassing.”
It seems that the godmother still remembers the incident of pulling a cart with a big belly. The uncles were so wronged that they couldn’t explain it.
"Okay, don't worry about this. I will definitely convey the message and we will help if needed, so you can rest assured."
The door rang. It was probably Uncle Kong who was back. , Uncle Kong seems to be very busy, he always comes back very late at night, Zhu Xuefeng is also getting up to say goodbye.
"Uncle Kong."
Uncle Kong was surprised to see Zhu Xuefeng when he entered the door. Looking at the big bag in the room, he understood that this boy had brought something good again.
"Xiaofeng, is this end easy to use? How is it? Nothing is wrong."
Zhu Xuefeng touched his head, and there was a small, inconspicuous scar. It is estimated that there will be another few months. It slowly disappeared.
"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Kong. Nothing happened."
Seeing Zhu Xuefeng still smiling, Uncle Kong was also happy.
“You kid, I really don’t know what to say about you. You skated and had a fight, and many people got unlucky. You said you were lucky, okay, let’s not talk about it anymore. I guess someone will have to worry about this for more than half a year."
It seems that the digging is quite deep. I heard Xie Junjie happily come to say that the director of Xinjiekou was raped a few days ago. , seems to have entered.
Several police officers who were helping out were also sent down. The deputy director had some sort of incompetence in his work, and he didn’t know where he was transferred to.
It seems that these are just scratches the surface. There are bigger figures behind who are implicated, or..., this matter is really not trivial, so it’s better not to inquire.
"Don't worry, it's nothing to do with you. It's because they did too many bad things. It's all coming out. By the way, last time I said I'd wait for you to get better and try your skills. Let's make an appointment today. It's the first year of junior high school. How about you, are you free? We won’t go to work on the first day of the Lunar New Year, so we have some time.”
“Why don’t you visit on the first day of the Lunar New Year?”
According to Beijing’s New Year customs, this is the first day of the Lunar New Year. The order of worshiping ancestors, family honors and close relatives in the clan, and visiting in-laws and neighbors on the second day of the Lunar New Year is to worship elders first, then mentors, and thirdly neighbors. In addition, they also visit colleagues and friends.
"Your uncle usually doesn't worship anyone during the Chinese New Year. Besides, he can't go back to his hometown and has no relatives in the city. He just stays at home or at work."
The godmother explained it, too. Uncle Kong's profession meant that no one was suitable for him, and given his temperament, Zhu Xuefeng understood it, but he arranged a dinner party on the first night of junior high school.
Uncle Kong turned around and said something to Director Wang again.
"Xiaohua got a call today. It seems that his task has been completed ahead of schedule. He will come back to visit relatives during the energy saving this year. He will be home on the 28th and will go back on the third day of the lunar new year. Then let them have a fight. Isn't the boss the best? Do you like fighting? Let Xiaofeng have a fight with him."
Director Wang suddenly became happy. He originally thought that he and his wife would celebrate the New Year. Plus, Uncle Kong and no one moved around, so there was nothing to celebrate the New Year at home. The atmosphere is great, it’s great to have a child back now.
Uncle Kong’s eldest son is called Li Zhenhua. He is the orphan of his comrades. He was raised by a couple. He insists on joining the army. He is only twenty-four or five years old now. He seems to be a battalion commander in the southwest, and his position is not low.
The second child went to Jinling and is said to have gone to school again. He said he went there during the holiday school arrangement and will definitely not be able to come back.
Seeing that Zhu Xuefeng remained silent, Uncle Kong asked.
"We have arranged things on the first day of junior high school. How about we change the time."
Zhu Xuefeng quickly explained that there was a dinner party in the evening and nothing else. Uncle Kong smiled.
"It's okay. It only takes a day to try your skills. You can come here in the morning. One morning is enough, so I won't delay you."
When I got home, I was thinking about the little black cat. Looking at the little black cat healing in the space, it is still wrapped in a layer of energy. It is estimated that it will take two days to recover.
Yes, it's a strain on the muscles and bones. Two hind legs are broken. It seems that the breath is stable. Let's take it easy.
