Chapter 144: Uncle Participate, I have someone I like.
Yu Zhile quickly walked forward to open the door, just in time to see Yu Peilan and He Youan getting out of the car.
"Le Le." Yu Peilan waved at her.
Yu Zhile ran over, hugged her, and rubbed her neck affectionately.
"Hello, aunt and uncle." Lan Yuanyuan greeted them obediently.
Chen Zhao and Yu Chi followed her out the door and were asked by He Youan to move things.
"Why are there so many boxes?" Yu Wanqin heard the voice and came out to answer, looking at the boxes in the back seat and asked.
"We had a mid-year meeting yesterday. The performance of the workshop managed by Perrin was good, and the factory gave us two boxes of canned food as a reward," He Youan explained. "We gave Dad and the kids some small things, and some fresh beef that we bought at the slaughterhouse in the early morning."
It's called a little bit, but it's actually half a rib of beef, a large piece of beef brisket and a leg of beef.
"How can this be called a point?" Yu Wanqin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Yu Peilan put her arm around her shoulders and said, "I have taken over the management of the surimi production line, You'an has been transferred back to the Red Star Shipyard, and San Ge has joined the transport team. It's a triple blessing."
"This really needs to be celebrated." Yu Wanqin said with a smile.
A few people moved the boxes into the courtyard, and Yu Yue's breakfast was just served on the table.
In addition to the usual side dishes, various cold-mixed stingrays and stir-fried jellyfish shreds began to appear on the table.
"It's the season for eating jellyfish every day. I still remember that when the tide went out, the coastline was full of jellyfish." Yu Peilan recalled her life in the past, "In order to pick up something else, my hands were always stung and swollen."
At that time, she and her brothers were living under Wu Lan, and their father was away at sea all year round, so they had few good days a year.
Yu Wanqin patted her hands to comfort her.
Wu Lan did many evil things in the first half of her life, and in the second half she developed a brain tumor and was abandoned by her son. Now Wu Caixia has abandoned her family and ran away. She can be said to have received retribution in this life.
Yu Zhile winked at Yu Chi, then turned on the radio and switched to the music channel. The lively music broke the dull atmosphere at the dinner table.
"Xiaobao is really perceptive. He will definitely do great things in the future." Yu Peilan swept away the gloom and pinched his face with a smile.
Yu Chi responded: “Well, I’ll do big things in the future.”
His voice was still childish, but his tone was mature, and the contrast made everyone laugh.
As she was eating, Yu Peilan's occupational disease came back and she said, "Sour and spicy shredded stingray is appetizing and delicious. If it could be shipped inland, it would definitely sell well."
Her words enlightened Yu Zhile, who immediately added fresh cold-mixed stingrays to his plan.
Nowadays, jellyfish is mainly processed through the "three-alum drying" method, which processes jellyfish into jellyfish heads, jellyfish skins and other products [1]. However, fresh jellyfish easily dissolves in water, and it is rare to eat fresh cold jellyfish in cities not close to the sea. This gave Haiyu Village an opportunity to make some progress.
Yu Peilan had no idea what Yu Zhile was thinking, and the topic at the dinner table changed quickly. They suddenly started talking about the health-preserving soup that was very popular in Beijing recently.
The family never mentioned this matter in the letter, and Chen Zhao was quite curious.
"I heard that this was a prescription from a friend of Dr. Hu. It was initially only used in military hospitals and was very effective," said Yu Peilan. "Later, the herbs were provided free of charge to wounded and retired soldiers, and the effect was also very good."
Chen Zhao said cheerfully, "It was probably passed down from my grandmother's family."
Hearing this, Yu Yue and He Youan looked at each other from a distance, and then glanced at Yu Zhile who was immersed in his little world in tacit understanding.
After breakfast, Yu Peilan and her husband took a short nap and went to sleep. Everyone tried to move as quietly as possible.
At nine o'clock, after Zhang Wenxin finished his meeting in the cowshed, he went to find Yu Zhile and Chen Zhao to go to the sideline group's courtyard to discuss the model operas, and also brought along the bored Lan Yuanyuan.
The small courtyard was bustling with activity. Except for the female educated youth who were working, all the other people who wanted to take part in the performance were there.
In the past few days, Zhang Wenxin mobilized people around him to copy more than a dozen scripts. He said that he would announce everyone's roles today, so that everyone could familiarize themselves with the lines first and start making time to rehearse in September.
As soon as she appeared, everyone clapped and cheered: "Our chief boss is finally here."
"Ahem." Zhang Wenxin cooperated and pretended to be serious. He cleared his throat and taught a lesson, "You bunch of monkeys, you are having fun now. Don't let your legs tremble when you get on stage."
Everyone burst into laughter and the children imitated each other.
The group of people laughed and joked for a while before actually starting today's business - dividing roles.
Considering that everyone was acting for the first time, Zhang Wenxin would give priority to personality issues. The most lively people were assigned to cross-dressing roles, and they lived up to her expectations and recited their lines in a low voice on the spot.
"Where are the heroine and the hero?" someone asked the question that everyone was looking forward to.
Everyone's attention was basically focused on Yu Zhile and Chen Zhao.
"It's not me, it's not me." Chen Zhao quickly waved his hands to deny it, and then made a gesture to straighten his collar, "I played another role, the humorous doctor."
"I won't act, I have to help everyone pay attention to their movements." Yu Zhile smiled.
Everyone looked at Zhang Wenxin again. Zhang Wenxin looked through the door at the figure riding a bicycle and kept it a secret, arousing everyone's curiosity.
When Li Ran stepped into the courtyard, she pushed Yu Chuyue next to him, let their arms touch, and then announced loudly: "These are our hero and heroine."
"I'm very happy to perform with you all." Li Ran was more approachable than ever at this moment.
Two blushes appeared on Yu Chuyue's cheeks and she hummed.
Everyone applauded, and Chen Lao and Luo Ping, who were enjoying the cool under the eaves, couldn't help but marvel at the vitality of the young people.
Afterwards, the group sat around a long table, familiarizing themselves with the order in which each character would appear, and Li Ran quickly became one with everyone.
The first meeting of the small crew of "Mountain Girl" ended with laughter. It was already noon, and everyone went home after agreeing on the formal rehearsal time.
"Comrade Lan." Li Ran called Lan Yuanyuan and handed her a letter. "A Mr. Du asked me to bring this to you."
Lan Yuanyuan was stunned for a few seconds, took the letter, and read it roughly on the way home.
Yu Zhile didn't interrupt her while she was reading the letter. Chen Zhao didn't say a word, playing the role of a transparent person.
Hearing her long sigh of relief after she finished reading, Yu Zhile's eyes showed a little more smile.
When the three of them got home, the house was full of joy. He Youan and Yu Haizong were busy in front of the oven, Yu Wanqin and her sister-in-law were chatting, the younger brothers were gathered around the radio, and the grandfather was watching everyone with a smile.
"Le Le, Yuan Yuan, Xiao Zhao, come quickly, the meat is ready." Yu Peilan noticed them first and waved gently.
As soon as the three of them washed their hands and sat down, the elders stuffed a bite of meat into their mouths.
The ribs are marinated first and then grilled, making the meat soft and easy to remove from the bone. The shanks and brisket are grilled to be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and are best eaten wrapped in lettuce with garlic.
After a hearty meal, the family drank hawthorn water and chatted under the shade of a tree. It was so relaxing.
After the Beginning of Autumn, the high temperature and stuffiness in the afternoon gradually subsided, and time seemed to be accelerated, and three days passed quickly.
During this period, a big fair was held in the town. Yu Zhile asked Zhang Haizhu to add a side dish of hot and sour shredded jellyfish at the fair. It was well received, so he began to think about ways to transport canned cold jellyfish.
During the three-day holiday, Yu Peilan visited the small fish paste product production line in Haiyu Village several times. She was full of praise for some of the ingenious ideas and planned to make minor adjustments to her production line after returning to the provincial capital.
Yu Zhile talked with her several times and gave her a lot of inspiration for developing new products, so the couple set off back to the provincial capital early in the morning on the last day of the holiday.
Not long after the two left, Haiyu Village welcomed three more guests, all of whom were old acquaintances of Yu Zhile.
One was Wu Yun, who came to increase the orders for pickled pepper sauce, and the other two were Teacher Qiao and her lover.
The three of them took the same ox cart to Haiyu Village. When they first met, Wu Yun was very curious about the couple carrying cameras. On the way, he used his social skills to the fullest and found out about their relationship with Haiyu Village and the purpose of their visit.
"Does it affect your work? We can go shopping by ourselves." Qiao Yu asked.
Yu Zhile explained with a smile: "No, the cooperation with the supply and marketing cooperative was originally the responsibility of Haimei."
"That's good." Qiao Yu said softly, explaining the purpose of his visit. "The newspaper received Li Zhiqing's submission. Everyone agreed that the Haiyu Village sideline group is a good topic. We came here this time to do a comprehensive interview."
Yu Zhile nodded, briefly talked about the progress of various work in Haiyu Village, and took the two of them to the beach.
Editor-in-Chief Qiao took a boat to the sea and took two pictures of the breeding rafts, and then went to Xiaoxihai to take pictures of the shrimp ponds that they had marked for construction.
When the three of them returned to the courtyard of the sideline group, Wu Yun and Zhang Haimei finished discussing the cooperation on increasing the amount of pickled pepper sauce and ordering spicy stir-fried abalone and snails.
Editor-in-Chief Qiao wanted to collect as much material as possible, and suggested that the two of them take a photo with the agreement. Wu Yun readily agreed, and left happily after the photo was taken.
Afterwards, Qiao Yu interviewed several key persons in charge, and Editor-in-Chief Qiao took a camera and took pictures in the yard.
As the interview came to an end, Qiao Yu hesitated for a few seconds, but finally asked, "Would it be convenient for us to arrange some photos of the model operas?"
"It's convenient. Do you want to change places?" Yu Zhile asked.
Qiao Yu thanked him repeatedly: "If it's possible, that would be great."
Finally, the photo shoot location was decided to be at Yu’s home.
Yu Zhile and his friends didn't want to present a fake rehearsal scene, so they immediately called everyone together and temporarily moved up the date of the first rehearsal. Then, a group of people walked towards the Yu family courtyard.
Qiao Yu specially picked a scene in which the hero and heroine go to the house to confront the bad uncle.
Yu Zhile used hemp rope to distinguish the front and back of the stage, and used lime powder to draw the appearance routes of supporting characters on the ground.
"I'll demonstrate first. Chu Yue, pay attention to my pace. The others will come out in order. When I say my lines, everyone should be at the end of the line." She instructed, "Li Ran, follow my rhythm and stop when you get to the puppy."
As she spoke, she took Li Ran's arm and walked towards the courtyard gate, tapping her fingers on his arm as she walked to convey the rhythm of her walking.
"Uncle, I have someone I like." Yu Zhile said the lines.
When she raised her eyes, she and Zhou Yuesheng met each other's eyes.
