Chapter 129 Change of View
“Brother, Zhenzhen, don’t be stunned, sit down and eat.”
“No, Susu…”
“What’s wrong with him? Did you get so much meat?”
Wang Qingwen was a little anxious.
"Is there a way to eat half a bowl of meat in a meal? You don't eat like this during the Chinese New Year!"
"There are also chicken and fish. Forget about chicken, how can we also make fish into dishes? "
The fish meat is too bland and has no oil or water. If you want to make it taste better, you have to consume a lot of oil. This is why many people don't care about them. If you don't add oil, it will be tasteless. If you add too much oil, it will taste bad. Feeling distressed.
The fish meat in this porcelain basin is very fragrant just by smelling it, no worse than pork. Wang Qingwen knew that oil must be added even before he tasted it.
“He doesn’t know what’s going on this year? Is it easy to make some money? If you make a meal like this, is it because you think there is too much food in the house? You can’t live well?”
"Brother, don't worry, this is not for the family to build a new house and use people to build a new house. It's left over after buying too much meat..."
"What's left over from the people who use it? Those who come to work are all fools? They don't eat meat either." "Is there so much left for you?"
Wang Qingwen asked with a frown.
He suspected that his sister was helping Chen Ling to say good things.
"Brother, please keep your voice down so that the neighbors can hear it. They think our family is having trouble again."
Wang Susu tried to persuade her and explained: "Aren't you going to the beam today? In addition to the helpers, there are almost fifty or sixty people in the family. A Ling was also afraid that there was not enough meat to eat, so he had half a pig brought back. ..."
Then he explained why so many people came to the house to help this year.
After listening to this, Wang Qingwen’s face looked much better: “It’s not a bad thing to interact with people in the village. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. There is no old man in this family. You are far away from your parents’ home. What’s wrong? It’s better to help.”
“Yeah, I know.”
“Actually, it’s much better now. Aling is willing to make progress and has made many good friends. We are living together now. It’s pretty good.”
Wang Susu said with a smile.
"You, you never forget to praise this stupid guy."
Wang Qingwen shook his head, and then asked: "Do you have enough money at home? If not, I will give it to you. Come here with some money and let me see. After this house is built, it will probably cost a fortune just to have people take care of the food.” It’s a little money.”
Speaking of this, the smile on Wang Susu’s face became brighter, and she gestured to her elder brother and said, “Everything is expensive now, and we only sell so much vegetables.”
"Oh, that's a lot."
Wang Qingwen's eyes suddenly lit up and a smile appeared on his face.
I admired in my heart: Selling vegetables for more than 6,000 yuan, this guy is about to become a household worth 10,000 yuan.
"Brother, I am in charge of all the money in the family now."
Wang Susu thought her eldest brother understood what she meant, so she said a little proudly.
"It's a good thing. It's a good thing to let you take care of money."
"You girl, you can finally make people feel at ease."
Wang Qingwen let out a long sigh, feeling completely at ease.
As long as my sister can live a good life, my parents can also have some peace of mind in the future.
“Brother, are we going to eat anymore?”
At this time, Wang Zhenzhen asked in a low voice.
The food was so fragrant and had so much meat. She couldn't help drooling just looking at it. Her stomach had already begun to growl.
It’s just that the way her brother was angry just now was so scary that she didn’t even dare to use chopsticks.
“Brother, Zhenzhen, let’s eat first. After walking such a long way, you need to eat more.”
“You eat with Zhenzhen, I’ll go talk to that guy. Words.”
Wang Qingwen shook his head, stood up and walked out.
No matter how good the food is, it is not as important as how well my sister lives.
He still has something to explain to Chen Ling.
It’s hard to get along with the villagers. It’s true that you can’t save money when it’s time to spend money. However, this guy is used to spending a lot of money. If you don’t say a few words to him, you won’t be able to spend a lot of money.
Although it is my sister who is in charge of the money.
But in his opinion, his sister still can't handle this guy now.
......
When Wang Qingwen walked into the courtyard, Chen Ling was moving food out of the house on the east side.
Today is indeed busy enough.
It’s okay to go to Daliang and be busy during the day, but I didn’t expect that my uncle and sister-in-law would also come at night.
Chen Ling has been busy since early in the morning and has not been able to take a good rest until now.
This hard-working man felt tired even with his body and bones. In addition, the weather was hot, and he was already sweating profusely even after carrying a few bags of food.
Wang Qingwen originally wanted to give him a few words, but when he saw the tired look on his brother-in-law's face and was too full to say anything, he sighed softly and stepped forward to help him. .
Chen Ling was quite surprised when he saw this and quickly said no, just do it yourself.
How can it be reasonable to ask someone to work as soon as they arrive when a guest from your mother’s family comes to visit?
Wang Qingwen didn't speak much to him, and just helped him with his work.
It didn’t take long for the two of them to move all the food out.
Wheat, rice noodles, mung beans, and peanuts are all piled up under the tree.
"There is quite a lot of food at home."
"Yes, Susu was afraid that the family would be short of food, so she stocked up some in advance."
"How's it going over there, parents? If you don't have enough to eat, bring some with you when you go back."
"No, it's okay on the mountain. The food stored in the cellar is good and enough to eat."
< br>"That's OK."
Worried about rain at night, the two of them covered the food with plastic sheets.
Wang Susu couldn't help but smile knowingly when she came out and saw this scene.
Behind her, Wang Zhenzhen also ran out with a bowl in hand, following her sister, eating rice until there were grains of rice in the corners of her mouth.
“Brother, it’s delicious.”
“The meat is very fragrant, try it.”
“You can eat it, your brother-in-law and I haven’t finished our work yet. "
Wang Qingwen saw Chen Ling going to clean the house, so he took a broom and dustpan and followed behind.
Seeing this, Wang Susu hurriedly walked over: "Don't worry about it, brother, I will take care of this little work. You and A Ling go to eat quickly. You have been busy all day. After dinner, go and rest early."
With that said, he grabbed the brooms from Chen Ling and Wang Qingwen's hands and drove them out.
There was no other way, so the two of them went to the well to clean themselves and then went inside to eat.
After entering the room and looking at the table full of meat, Wang Qingwen still felt heartbroken. How could he eat it this way?
It’s just a waste of time.
At this time, Chen Ling renewed a match rope. When he saw Wang Qingwen standing in front of the table, not moving his chopsticks, he smiled and said: "There is wine at home, I will get it. There is not much food today, so we two brothers can drink some."
When Wang Qingwen heard this, he thought, “Isn’t this a lot of food?” So what’s too much?
This kid is spoiled by his parents and doesn’t know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive.
He said to him dullly: "If you don't drink, eat."
Picked up the chopsticks and put the rice into his mouth, but there was more meat than rice. When he put the chopsticks down, It’s all meat, so luxurious.
I still remember when I was poor a few years ago, when eating meat during the Chinese New Year, I would chew the meat slowly and smack it in my mouth until it tasted no more before I swallowed it. How is it like today?
Not to mention, more meat means more flavor. Wang Qingwen has never had such a delicious meal since he was a child.
I thought to myself that this guy is really good at cooking, but he just doesn’t know how to be thrifty. Look at this half bowl of meat, the rice soaked in broth is covered with oil, it’s so delicious.
Chen Ling ate quickly, while Wang Qingwen had only eaten half of the bowl, and his bowl was already full.
Seeing that the little girl was still trying hard to pick up the rice, she picked up a piece of fish meat with her chopsticks.
"Zhenzhen, eating fish and eating fish meat is smart."
The little girl looked up at him, wrinkled her little nose at him, and muttered: "I am already smart."
But as soon as the fish meat entered his mouth, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help shouting: "This fish meat is delicious." Chen Ling laughed: "It's delicious, the chicken is also delicious. This pheasant just grew this year." The meat is very tender and doesn’t have any earthy smell.”
“So this is pheasant meat? I heard from my sister that Hei Wa and Xiao Jin can catch pheasants. This is it. Did they catch it? ”
"Yes, they often bring pheasants and rabbits to our homes, as well as worms and other things. At the beginning, they even went to catch mountain civets at home. Even the ones that just came out of the nest are not big and they are not well-raised at all. They often disappear the next day. "
"The mountain raccoons are so fast, can they be caught?"
"Didn't I say that the big ones can climb trees when they just come out of their nests? It’s hard to catch the house, but the mountain raccoon is nothing. A few days ago, the badger’s nest was blocked, but the badger’s hole was too deep, so I only caught one outside.”
“Wow. And there are badgers!”
Wang Zhenzhen’s eyes widened when he heard this, and he dropped his chopsticks on the table, not caring about eating.
"Yes, there are badgers, and the badger meat is very delicious. If I have a chance, I will catch one for you and try some braised badger meat."
The little kid was impatient, so after hearing this Wang Zhenzhen couldn't sit still when Chen Ling said this, and immediately asked: "Can I go tomorrow?"
"No, there are wolves on the mountain recently, howling every day and night, and sometimes running down the mountain. Badgers. The little girl only came out of the cave at night, so there were no wolves to catch."
"That's it."
The little girl was immediately disappointed: "There are many wolves in our village. We’re going to fight against the Wolves, right?”
Wang Qingwen nodded, picked up the bowl and drank the broth directly, "The wolf hunting teams now are not as majestic as before. They only scare and frighten, and they can't kill a few without guns."
Previously Wolves are very rampant in the mountains, especially in autumn and winter. After dark, they will run into the village. If you are not careful, the livestock shed will suffer disaster. At that time, various communes would organize people to hunt wolves. They would ride horses, carry guns, carry food and water, and patrol back and forth at night. Once they found traces of wolves, they would follow them and pursue them without killing or chasing away the wolves. Never stop running.
Chenwangzhuang is pretty good here. There is a Jinshui River across it, and there are not many wolves even in the mountains.
It would be miserable further west. People were often killed by wolves on the trade roads in the past. In some villages, wolves even entered homes and ate children. It would have been impossible without a wolf team to watch at night.
"Brother, Zhenzhen, please have another bowl. After walking such a long way, you should eat more."
Chen Ling stood up, picked up their bowls, and was about to serve the rice.
"No, I'll do it now."
Wang Qingwen waved his hand, turned around and asked the little girl: "Do you really still want to eat?"
"Me too. I can’t eat anymore. My brother-in-law’s cooking is so delicious that I’m full.”
Wang Zhenzhen rubbed his belly and said with a smile.
Good guy, he finally called me brother-in-law. This made Chen Lingling so happy that his eyes turned into slits from laughter.
"It's okay if you can't eat. Whatever you want to eat tomorrow, my brother-in-law will cook it for you."
Wang Qingwen watched with twitching eyes, making this kid so proud.
Just then Wang Susu had tidied up the room, walked in and said: "Are you really full?"
"You are full, sister, why is my brother-in-law's cooking so delicious? ? I don’t want to stay at your house anymore.”
"Then don't leave. We'll go back together when your brother-in-law and I go home later. But you have to sleep with your sister tonight. She misses you so much."
"Okay. Okay, I miss my sister too. I haven’t slept with my sister since she got married.”
Wang Zhenzhen jumped up and down happily, holding her arm and not letting go.
Not only did I see my sister today, but I also had such a good meal. She was really happy.
On the other hand, Wang Susu glanced at Chen Ling apologetically: "Aling, just sleep in the same room with my brother first."
"I'm fine. I can just sleep outside in the car tonight. Food is piled up in the yard, so I won't go home."
Chen Ling shook his head. It's so awkward to sleep in the same room with his uncle. It's better to It’s comfortable to sleep outside alone.
"It's getting late. Brother, you and Zhenzhen should wash up early and have a rest."
"Tonight's meal is heavy on oil and salt, Susu, remember to give it to Zhenzhen, Prepare some water for our brother, don't get salty."
After a few words of instruction, Chen Ling pulled a match rope and walked out.
Wang Qingwen was left in a daze and asked, "Is there a car outside? What kind of car, Susu? We didn't see it when Zhenzhen and I came here."
"It's a pickup truck driven by Aling's friend. The car is parked just across the alley. It’s busy since we’re not building houses, so we’ll just stay here. Whenever we need to buy something, we can just drive to the county town and buy it quickly.”
Wang Qingwen. Hearing this, he was absent-minded for a while, then he smiled and shook his head for a long time, and said with a complicated mood: "I didn't expect that I really made him look like a man."
He then said to Wang Susu: "Dad is not wrong about the person. As long as this kid is willing to learn well, he will be better than me.”
……
"Fugui, Fugui, how were you last night? You didn't get beaten again, did you?"
Early in the morning on the sixth day of August, Chen Dazhi and Wang Lixian came over. Before they even entered the house, Chen Dazhi's loud voice sounded loudly. shouted.
When they entered the yard, they saw Chen Ling and his uncle squatting next to the grape trellis, with their bicycles placed upside down, repairing the tires there.
"That's not possible, but Brother Dazhi, you are a bit of a fan."
Chen Ling turned the tires, raised his head and replied with a smile.
Then he said to Wang Qingwen: "The puncture is not big. It's just that the tires have been a little old for a long time. They are almost stuck to the outer tires, both front and rear. How about replacing them with two new tires?"
< br>"Okay, if it can't be repaired, just replace it with a new one. It's time to replace it."
Wang Qingwen nodded.
Then he stood up and handed two cigarettes to Chen Dazhi and the other two, and the three of them stood aside and started talking.
When Chen Ling and Wang Susu got married, he had a drink with them, and he was more familiar with them than the others, but they could chat quickly.
Slowly, those who came to help came over after having breakfast.
Wang Qingwen also came up one by one to pass cigarettes and say hello. Although he was a guest, he was Chen Ling's uncle after all. He couldn't do nothing when he came, so today he also listened to Chen Dazhi and Wang Li Come to work with the dedicated arrangements.
Chen Ling should be busy as long as he takes care of others.
"Really, really, stop watching the rabbit, your brother-in-law is calling you."
Chen Ling is going to drive to the city, is there any left in yesterday's meat pot? Well, my uncle and my sister-in-law didn’t eat much. They simmered it on a low fire all night. There was no need to buy anything specially today. The main purpose was to change two new tires for my uncle and fill up the car with gas.
Zhao Dahai came to help, not to mention leaving the car behind. He had brought food with him the day he arrived, so it was outrageous that he had to pay for gas himself.
In addition, it’s time to sell the eggs and duck eggs at home.
People coming to my house these days mainly eat meat, not much eggs, and I have accumulated almost two baskets.
The weather is hot, so it’s better to sell it as soon as possible.
In addition to grains and vegetables, eggs are the best-selling products on the market now. Eggs and duck eggs used to be used as hard currency, so there was no need to worry about selling them.
In addition to these, I also need to buy some new clothes for Wang Zhenzhen. The little girl will stay for a longer time this time, so she can't even have a change of clothes.
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, what are you asking me to do?"
The little girl ran out in a hurry.
"I'm going to the city, will you go?"
"Are you going by car?"
"I'm sure I can't let you ride in a car when you come."
"I want to go, I want to go, I haven't been in a car since I was a child."
After hearing this Wang Zhenzhen was very happy to take a bus.
This girl used to guard the little rabbit that just came out of the nest at home during breakfast and refused to move, but now she couldn't care less.
“Brother-in-law, wait a minute, I’ll go back and get the money.”
"Whatever money you want, my brother-in-law will buy it for you."
Chen Ling smiled and tugged on her pigtails, and gave the girl a big red envelope early this morning, which contained five Mr. Zhang was so excited that the little girl had never received so much money.
I counted it back and forth several times, and finally asked my sister to save it because I was afraid that Wang Qingwen would be scolded if he saw it.
“But I also want to buy a pencil case, an eraser, and a ballpoint pen.”
“Buy it, and my brother-in-law will buy it for you.”
"Can you bring Hei Wa and Xiao Jin with you?"
"Yes, as long as you are happy today, I can do anything."
Chen Ling drove the pickup truck out of the alley. , Wang Zhenzhen couldn't wait to climb up with his two dogs, his eyes full of novelty, looking around here and there, holding Hei Wa and Xiao Jin in his arms and shouting all the way.
