evening
The small village gradually fell into silence. This was Feng Moyan's first night living in the Red Flag Brigade. They each carried their things and walked towards the captain's house.
Feng Moyan went to the village chief's house alone with his bag on his back and invited them to have dinner at his home in the evening.
She saw that the door was not closed, but she did not go in directly. She called out from outside the door: "Village Chief, are you home?"
"Who is it? The door is not closed, just come in."
A loud voice came from inside the door, and a middle-aged woman in an apron came out. She was stunned for a moment when she saw the person coming, then she smiled and wiped the water droplets off her hands.
"I am the village chief's beloved Jiang Cuihua. What do you want to talk to him about? He is probably still in the village committee and has been a bit busy recently."
Feng Moyan didn't say much. He took out the things in the bag and put them in her arms, then took a few steps back.
"Aunt, this is food for the children at home. I'm new here, and I hope the village chief will take care of me in the future.
I, Feng Moyan, would like to invite you, the educated youth, to have dinner at Uncle Liang's place this time. Everything is ready. ”
Jiang Cuihua was stunned. This kid from the city was really generous. The gift he gave her was so lavish. She dared not accept it. This was tantamount to bribery. She couldn't let the old man get hold of it.
"No, no, take it away quickly. I can't make a mistake. The village chief never accepts gifts."
Feng Moyan knew she had misunderstood, so he pushed forward and said, "Aunt, my parents sacrificed their lives for the country. I have never worked since I was a child. I was targeted by people because of my appearance, so I went to the countryside."
This is a gift from a junior, not a bribe. I'm leaving first. Remember to have dinner later. I'll treat Uncle Hao. ”
Jiang Cuihua looked at the things in her hand, and then at the figure walking away. This girl is indeed pretty, so it is normal for her to be stared at. She asked her man to pay more attention to her.
A girl like this can't be ruined by those disgusting things. Her family is still the descendant of a martyr.
Hu Lai came out of the room, holding Niuniu, who had just woken up, in his arms, "Mom, who was here just now? I heard you guys quarreling."
Looking at the things in my mother-in-law's arms, I raised my eyebrows: "Who gave this thing? It's really generous."
Usually there were educated youths coming to bring gifts, either a can of food or a bag of candy, but this time there were even cigarettes, alcohol, and milk candy.
Jiang Cuihua handed them directly to her daughter-in-law: "Put them away, save these candies for Fat Tiger and Niuniu, one or two, otherwise their teeth will be damaged."
Hu Lai did not refuse. After all, there were only two children in the family. If he didn't give it to them, who else could he give it to? His brother-in-law didn't like to eat these toys either, so in the end, his own children got the gift.
Si Yinni and Jiang Yuxuan came to the captain's house with a package of things, which shocked Liang Xiu and made her face frown.
"What are you two doing here? You look down on your aunt. You bring so much food for a meal. There's even some leftovers from lunch."
Jiang Yuxuan didn't want to argue with her aunt, so she turned around and went over: "Aunt, this was all prepared by Mo Yan, who said it would be late in the evening. The village chief's family and Uncle Hao also prepared it. It can be regarded as a hot pot meal for us, right!"
Liang Xiu opened her mouth, but couldn't really think of any reason. With more than a dozen people in this family, the food alone would be a lot.
"Then you two come and help me, otherwise you won't be able to eat later."
"I'm going to make you some special dishes from Northeast China tonight. You've definitely never tasted the authentic ones, such as sweet and sour pork, three fresh vegetables, and chicken stewed with mushrooms.
If you catch the pig slaughtering in winter and eat a bowl of hot pig-slaughtering dishes, you won't want to exchange it for any amount of money. Unfortunately, the current year is not good, and I don't know if I can still have this treatment this year. ”
The two of them were busy in the yard, and low laughter could be heard from time to time, with a strong sense of fireworks.
Feng Moyan walked forward according to the route he remembered.
Hongqi Brigade was not particularly poor. There were a few houses with red bricks and tiles in the village, which were particularly eye-catching, but most of them were mud houses.
But the yard of each family is really big, no wonder they grow vegetables and raise chickens and ducks here.
The country now has regulations that one person can only raise two chickens and one duck, no more than three. If there are more, it is a violation. If you are caught, you will be criticized and suffer.
He walked to a small courtyard near the end of the village, a courtyard of a blue brick and tile house, surrounded by gunpowder on all sides, which looked solid.
"Uncle, you don't want to, I want the educated youth Feng that you brought back this morning."
Hao Han squatted in the yard weeding the crops, smoke coming out of the chimney, "I'm here, we've already cooked, so we won't go to the captain's house, it's too much trouble."
Feng Moyan pushed the door open and walked in, she saw the old man had a conflicted look on his face, as if something was a little awkward inside, and she didn't understand what was going on.
"You must be Uncle Hao's wife, Feng Moyan, an educated youth who went to the countryside to invite Uncle Hao and you to dinner. Bai Ni has already agreed to it, why do you regret it?"
Li Qiuru looked at the little girl in front of her, the grandfather's child that her husband had always been thinking about, with loving and gentle eyes.
"The little girl is really pretty, but your uncle is like this, very awkward. I'll go with you, but I won't cook for him. Let's see if he goes."
Li Qiuru packed up her things and took the bacon and chicken she had hunted in 껚里, "Old man, remember to close the door. Otherwise, if something gets lost, I'll never forgive you."
Hao Han watched the two of them leave, then he looked at the things on the table again, with a smile on his face, cleaned up, and followed behind.
Feng Moyan turned his head and saw Grandpa Hao, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Grandma, you don't need to bring anything. I prepared a lot of food, it will definitely be enough."
Li Qiuru has no children in her life, so how could she not have regrets in her heart? "You guys just arrived here, and you need a lot of things. It's not easy to eat meat in the countryside, so it's better for you to keep those."
"It's hard for you kids. You left your hometown at such a young age and came here to work in the countryside. You must not be used to it."
Feng Moyan still doesn’t feel that there is anything wrong with this place. After all, at least there are not so many calculations here.
"Grandma, I don't have anything to worry about in Kyoto. Going to the countryside can help me avoid the limelight, which is also good. Besides, I am strong and can survive anywhere. You don't have to worry."
Li Qiuru had heard the old man talk about this child several times, and her eyes were full of heartache. Because of those things that happened in secret, she couldn't be too open about it. It was too hateful.
When the three of them arrived, the yard was already bustling with activity, and the torches illuminated the surroundings, allowing Feng Moyan to see two familiar children.
"Fat Tiger, Niuniu, you two are the children of Brother Cheng. No wonder you are so polite."
Fat Tiger ran towards her with a smile: "Yes, my father's child, Sister Yan sees you again."
Liang Xiu walked out of the kitchen with a smile on her face. Looking at the things in Li Qiuru's hand, her expression changed slightly and she looked a little unhappy.
"Aunt, why do you bring food with you when you come to my place? This is outrageous. You can eat me out of money, so what?"
Li Qiuru handed over the basket and said, "We'll never go broke eating this. It's a busy day today, so I thought I'd make some more for the kids. They're growing up, and it won't work if we keep it at home. We don't eat much, and our teeth are not good."
Hao Han sat in the inner room and chatted with a few men, "We cooked it together, so one more chopstick won't make any difference. We are all young and eat a lot."
Seeing that the man didn't react, Liang Xiu decided to take it in. Fortunately, there were a lot of vegetables at home, otherwise it would be difficult to arrange them.
"Uncle Liang, I remember you said you have a younger brother at home. He should not be in school during this period. Isn't he home?"
Zhang Liang waved his hand, "That brat has no idea what the school does. He said that the teacher arranged some activities. I don't bother to care about him."
Feng Moyan had no intention of doing so either.
