Chapter 221 Rabbit Meat 2
He Zhigang first asked the truck driver who was with him to drive to his grandparents' house to help move the four large sacks of defective fabrics to his grandfather's house, and then they drove back to take over.
Now there are a few more vehicles and drivers in the transport team, so after returning from a long trip, they can take a day off before going back to work.
Add to that the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, and you have two days of rest.
So he went back to his grandparents' house again. Although he was a little disappointed not to see Chu Dan, he was glad to have an excuse to go to the Song family.
He first went to the kitchen to find something to eat. The Dragon Boat Festival was coming, and not only would relatives visit each other, but neighbors would also give each other gifts.
Of course, in order to celebrate the festival, the most common gift is definitely rice dumplings.
There were more than ten big rice dumplings in the bamboo basket in the kitchen, and five or six small rice dumplings in the clay pot next to it. He immediately took a small one, peeled it and ate it before walking out.
Grandma was washing water spinach in the yard. He went over and asked with a smile, "Grandma, what's for lunch?"
"Just cut two rice dumplings and fry them, and stir-fry some water spinach." Grandma He asked him, "Will you eat here at noon? If you eat here, I will fry some eggs."
"No, I'll go back and eat." He Zhigang asked again: "Where's grandpa?"
Grandma He didn't try to persuade him to stay. Not eating here would save her from having to wash dishes and cook dishes. "Your grandfather has taken the child to your aunt's place to feed him."
The old couple are very busy now. They have to wait until their daughter and son-in-law get off work before they can have some free time.
But as a delicate old lady, Grandma He still likes new clothes very much. She asked with a smile: "Those sacks are all fabrics? Have you seen them?"
"Summer clothes are thin to begin with. If you wash them a few times, they'll almost fall apart."
"If I had better material, I would like to make two sets of summer clothes for your grandfather."
He Zhigang had already finished eating a zongzi and pressed some water to wash his hands: "I didn't see it either. They were all sewn with a needle."
"When Chu Dan and the others come to pick up the goods, grandma will ask them to cut open the seal and pick out some material for you."
He shook off the water droplets on his hands and said, "It's not good to have so many pieces of fabric piled up at home. I'll go to the Song family and ask them to take them away as soon as possible."
Grandma He rolled her eyes at him and said, "I think you are looking for an excuse to go to the Song family to see Chu Dan?"
Then he advised him earnestly: "Parents will never have bad intentions towards their children."
"If your parents don't agree with you and Chu Dan being together, then don't think about her anymore."
He Zhigang touched his nose and said awkwardly: "Don't worry, grandma, I know what's going on. I'll leave first, okay?"
"Wait a minute." Grandma He hurriedly stopped him, "You can't go to the Song family empty-handed. It just so happens that your aunt's company distributed several canned oranges and bayberries for the holiday. Take two to the Song family."
He Zhigang responded, took the can and rode his bike to the Song family.
He arrived at the right time. When he arrived at the Song family, the Song family was preparing to have dinner.
When Party Secretary Song heard the good news he brought, he greeted him warmly: "Come and sit down. It's hard for you to come all the way in this hot weather."
He turned around and shouted to his daughters, "Chu Hong, pour some water, and Chu Dan, get a new towel to wipe Zhigang's sweat."
He Zhigang originally thought that in the countryside, it would be good enough to have enough food to eat.
But I didn't expect that the Song family's lunch would be so sumptuous, with a large clay pot of stir-fried rabbit meat, stir-fried beans, cold cucumber salad, and loofah and egg soup.
The only thing was the rice which was broken into pieces with some rice bran in it.
He Zhigang was very glad that he brought two bottles of canned fruit. He placed them on the table and asked nervously, "Is today a special day?"
It is said that people in the countryside only eat bran and wild vegetables. Why is there such a big table of delicious food? Could it be someone’s birthday?
Secretary Song laughed: "It's not a special day. Isn't it the busy farming season? Let's eat something good to replenish ourselves."
In fact, it rained a few days ago, and the grass used to feed the rabbits might have been soaked with rainwater, so a large litter of more than ten rabbits started to growl.
At the beginning, everyone wanted to rescue the patient. They invited the half-baked veterinarian Gu Ci, the barefoot doctor, and even Lao Jia to help and study the dosage of tetracycline to feed.
Most of the rabbits were quite tenacious and survived, except for these three big rabbits, which were still in a mess.
Chu Hong immediately decided to kill the animal while it was still alive and eat it.
Of course, all the internal organs in the rabbit's stomach were thrown away and not eaten.
Another thing is that keeping rabbits at home makes the smell a bit strong, so today we took the opportunity to move the rabbit hives to the chicken farm.
Anyway, not many people go there, so raising rabbits won’t be a big deal.
Afterwards, the family members dismantled the rabbit hive and sprinkled some lime to disinfect it for safety.
After all, we have chickens, ducks and geese at home.
I also burned some mugwort in the yard, which can kill bacteria and remove odors.
Besides, the weather is hot now, and the rabbit meat can't be kept, so I just fried it all, sent a plate to my second uncle and his family, sent a large plate to Lao Chu and his family, and kept a large pot for myself, so I could take the opportunity to eat as much as I wanted.
Who would have thought that He Zhigang would come at such a coincidence, of course I invited him to have lunch together.
Chu Hong even picked up several pieces of rabbit meat for Xiao Yuer and deliberately joked: "The rabbit is very cute. If you don't want to eat it, why don't you give it back to your second aunt?"
Xiao Yuer pouted and glanced at her second aunt: "Raising rabbits is for food, I understand."
This was her last act of stubbornness.
Who makes the smell of rabbit meat so overbearing? She is only six years old, how can she resist being greedy?
When the Song family heard the child's words, they couldn't help laughing.
Although He Zhigang didn't know why everyone was laughing, he discovered that the food on the Song family's table tasted really good.
The stir-fried rabbit meat with a hint of spiciness makes you want to eat more, the slightly sweet cold cucumber is just the right way to relieve the spiciness, the loofah and egg soup is very delicious, and the beans fried with lard are also fragrant.
This made him feel that Chu Dan was even better. She was good at cooking, and he would have no worries if he married her.
He thought that he should go back and convince his mother again.
As long as my mother doesn't object, my father certainly won't object either.
After lunch, Gu Ci went to pick up the ox cart and went to He's house with Chu Hong again.
He Zhigang, who was pushing his bicycle nearby, saw that Chu Dan was not going to get on the ox cart, so he quickly winked at her: "Chu Dan, why don't you go for a walk? My grandma and the others miss you very much."
Previously, he was too embarrassed to say anything more to Chu Dan in front of the Song family.
Naturally, I wanted to find an opportunity to talk to her.
Chu Dan stroked his braid, raised his chin, and said proudly, "I have to go to the warehouse to help sort out farm tools this afternoon, so I won't go."
She is not a diligent person, this is just a perfunctory statement.
Because after I got home, I found out that my second sister's clothes, shoes and socks were all washed by my second brother-in-law.
Also, yesterday morning it was agreed that my second sister would get up and cook breakfast, but in the end it was my second brother-in-law who cooked breakfast.
Even so, my second brother-in-law spoke up for my second sister, saying that she was tired from making rice dumplings a few days ago and asked her to take a good rest.
This is really the case of comparing yourself with others, which will only make you angry.
