At noon, the aroma of meat wafts from every household.
The fat is made into lard, which can be eaten for a whole year. The lean meat is pickled and hung on the beams, and the remaining one or two pounds are eaten fresh.
Only the smell of cooking shit came from Old Zhou's house, and after a while it was an indescribable smell...
"What are the Zhou family cooking?"
"I bought the intestines from a whole pig. What else can I do with it?"
After the production team has delivered male pigs that meet the standards, the remaining ones can be divided among the production team. Pig offal is not included in the distribution, but if anyone wants it, they have to pay to buy it, and no tickets are required.
They are all one or two kilograms from your house and one or two kilograms from my house.
Knowing that it was Anzi's wife who proposed to build the factory, she was able to contact the factory and find talents who could improve the sweet potato cake recipe and provide other recipes in the future! Therefore, no one competed with Zhou Dasao for the pig intestines.
That is, so many pig intestines... you will smell like shit after eating them, right? They must have been marinated for several days, right?
…
It’s delicious. It’s really delicious.
The children in the eldest house never stop talking.
The pig intestines were washed clean with flour and fried in oil until very dry. There was no fecal smell or greasy feeling at all, and the inside was still chewy!
Fat intestine noodles, very spicy.
If there is not enough fat intestines, add more yourself. If there is not enough noodles, scoop some from the pot.
As a result, everyone had greasy lips and round bellies from eating so much.
Mrs. Zhou started to yell, "Eat less. You can eat a lot of that fatty intestine..."
Later on, when he found that his children did not listen to him, he had to act according to his sister-in-law's mood.
have to!
Build it!
Mrs. Zhou hadn’t known for how long it had been since she had eaten so full. After finishing her meal, she wanted to stand up and wash the pots and bowls, but she found that she couldn’t even stand up.
She was so anxious that she almost cried.
"Mother...Mother? What's wrong with you?"
"I ate too much and can't get up... wuwuwu..."
How embarrassing.
She cried in front of her whole family.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Qiao Yu laughed first, and then everyone else started laughing too.
Even the second sister, who was always afraid of Mrs. Zhou, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
It would be nice if my second aunt and the others were always here.
…
As for the machine tool project, Qiao Yu planned to start after the New Year, but the team had already started building the factory in full swing.
The land for the factory was planned out by the party secretary, not far from the brigade. A brick factory was to be built there. After all, machine tools had to be introduced there to prevent petty theft and to prevent moisture. A brick factory could also prevent natural disasters.
All the able-bodied men in the brigade went there because they were given work points.
The factory was half built and the New Year was over, so Qiao Yu prepared to leave by train.
Mrs. Zhou: "Auntie, bring Zhou Qiang along to broaden his horizons."
Qiao Yu nodded, "Sure, you can pay for the train ticket yourself. I can pay for the meal."
Qiao Yu grinned, "Isn't that enough to deserve the title of 'Second Aunt'?"
"Ah, I still have to buy the ticket myself..." Mrs. Zhou felt pained and looked at Zhou's mother, "Mom, Zhou Qiang is also your grandson..."
"If you want your son to learn new things, don't take me with you. I'm old, how many more years can I be called 'nanny'? Don't flatter me."
Mrs. Zhou had no choice but to go back to her room to get some money and hand it to Qiao Yu, "Auntie, you have to take good care of our Zhou Qiang."
"Don't worry, he'll have plenty to eat."
It just so happened that she needed a little brother to order around.
…
She didn't buy a sleeper ticket, so when she got on the carriage and was about to sit down, she was stopped by Zhou Qiang. After wiping her seat clean, she gave him a look that showed she was in need of a teachable lesson.
Not bad, there is work in the eyes.
With her eldest nephew around, she didn't chat with strangers, but chased Zhou Qiang and asked, "Da Qiang, you are not young anymore, has your mother arranged a marriage for you?"
Zhou Qiang said embarrassedly, "No, my mother said that we can talk about marriage after we have settled our work."
"So do you have anyone you like?"
"..."
No answer? There is a situation.
Qiao Yu: "Why don't you say anything? Do you have a partner? Are you sorry?"
Zhou Qiang quickly shook his hands, "I'm not the one, it's just one-sided..."
"Oh, I understand, Auntie, I understand. You are in love with someone who has a one-sided crush on you."
The others who were originally listening to the gossip were almost shocked to death after hearing Qiao Yu call herself "auntie"!!
What!
This pretty young girl is the aunt of this dark-skinned farmer?!
Playing?!
Qiao Yu didn't have time to deal with others, and asked Zhou Qiang in detail: "Whose girl is she? Your aunt will help you to choose her when the time comes. Don't tell me, your aunt, when I was..."
He talked a lot and made Zhou Qiang dizzy, as if he had drunk some fake alcohol, and he confessed everything.
"It's from the Youth Institute."
Qiao Yu lost half of his interest. "Female educated youth? Not from the Red Flag Brigade, right?"
Zhou Qiang was very surprised, "She is a female educated youth from the Red Flag Brigade."
Well.
Qiao Yu changed the subject, "What about your second sister? Is she dating someone? Is there a gay man she likes?"
Zhou Qiang shook his head, "My second sister studies very hard. She thinks studying is better than working in the fields."
"That kid is really good."
Zhou Qiang asked tentatively: "Second Aunt, do you like Second Sister very much?"
"Who doesn't like a girl who studies hard?" Qiao Yu asked subconsciously. He paused and asked, "How do you know I like my second sister?"
"Mom has been asking my second sister to hold you more."
Qiao Yu smiled and said, "That's fine."
Zhou Qiang found it very strange. If other people heard this, they would be angry, right? Why didn't the second aunt get angry but laughed instead? His mother even strictly forbade him to tell the second aunt these words.
His mother said that Second Aunt would be angry...
How come?
Isn’t Second Aunt smiling happily?

The green train ran for several days and nights and finally arrived at the station.
The moment the car door opened, a gust of freezing wind rushed in.
He finally understood what his aunt said, the difference between the north and the south...
As soon as I got out of the station, I saw snow piled up on the trees and houses. It was a vast expanse of white. It was spectacular and at the same time made me sigh. My eyes and brows were sobered up after being frozen.
I took a deep breath and was almost frozen by the cold air!
Qiao Yu: "Let's go to the state-owned hotel to eat first! Then we'll take the bus to my eldest brother's factory!"
"Yeah, okay."
Qiao Yu had plenty of national grain coupons and meat coupons, and he had plenty of money when he went out. The aunt and nephew ate until they were full before going to look for the platform.
"When I first came here, this place hadn't developed yet. To go to my eldest brother's factory, he would pick me up on his bicycle, or I would walk there by myself. Now it's better, there are shuttle buses, and it's developed quite well, right?"
Zhou Qiang looked around and nodded, "It's developing very well."
Qiao Yu: "As long as the factory is built, everyone will have a job and purchasing power, and the Red Flag Brigade will get better and better."
Not only the 1970s, but also the 1980s followed suit. The Red Flag Brigade will be one of the first to experience the changes in the 1990s. In the future, the elders and villagers of the Zhou family will be able to feel the changes of the times without having to leave the production team!
How many farmers have spent their entire lives buried in the fields, buried in that small place and never leaving?
Zhou Zeguo and Zhou Ze'an are brothers, and she doesn't want the gap between them to be too big in the future.
First, emotionally, the gap is too big, and Lao Zhou can't help but feel sad when he mentions it and recalls it; second, from a realistic perspective, the gap is too big, and poverty alleviation is inevitable.
She didn't want to be tied down by her husband's family, so she could lay a solid foundation first and let them develop and take their own course in the future.
