Chapter 165
Go to the commune "Old man, I'm back, did you miss me?"
Chen Qingyi lifted the door curtain, stomped her feet at the door, and quickly walked into the house.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. I put the things in my hands on the kang and took off my thick gloves.
He shook off the snow on his hat, treated himself as not a outsider, moved a small stool and sat next to the old man.
"Have you had enough fun?" The old man knew that she had just returned, and he was very happy to see her come to see him.
But his face was expressionless.
Very tsundere.
At this time, the little old man looked like an authentic rural old man, wearing a thick cotton jacket with patches.
Sitting on a small stool, warming myself by the brazier with a radio next to me, I felt quite comfortable.
"Can we call this playing? We are going to do something big."
Chen Qingyi suddenly sniffed, picked up the fire poker next to her, and took out two fragrant roasted potatoes from the brazier.
I didn't know what politeness meant, so I just dusted myself off.
Blow on it, peel it, and eat it in small bites.
Old Zhai blew his beard and glared, "I only buried four, and you ate half of them."
The little girl picked up another one and started chewing it. As she ate, she asked, "Have you used the medicine I gave you?"
"I used it once and it worked like a charm."
Chen Qingyi ate a potato and then used a fire poker to pick it out, "This roasted potato is so delicious.
You didn’t even mention burying more.”
She didn’t even get to eat what was buried at home that morning.
"Virtue." The old man looked disgusted when he gave her a potato like this.
He subconsciously took two more raw potatoes and buried them.
"How do you feel about being out there?"
"The general environment is the same across the country, so what's the big deal? If I eat a couple more meals of meat outside, people will say it's capitalism.
There is no such thing as a comfortable life in a pigpen."
So, little old man, just sit here quietly and take a nap.
Old Zhai rolled his eyes. He always felt that the girl had something else to say, but he was not stupid.
Putting his hands in his sleeves, he raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Did you bring me anything delicious?"
"Just get up and go see for yourself." Why is she so lazy? She just got off the train and was exhausted.
There were nails growing from her butt, and she was nailed to the small stool.
"…My old man has leg pain."
“…!?”
No one wants to move at a distance of just two meters.
The old man and the young man began to stare at each other with murderous eyes, and fought for three hundred rounds.
In the end, Chen Qingyi accepted her fate. After all, she grew up under the red flag, and respecting the elderly and loving the young are traditional virtues engraved in her bones.
He brought the big bag over and stuffed it into the old man's arms.
"See for yourself."
The old man opened it and smiled:
"Hey, Erguotou, canned hawthorn, malted milk, meat, frozen fish...!"
In addition to food, Chen Qingyi also brought him cotton shoes and thick socks, but the old man didn't take it to heart at all.
His eyes are all on wine and meat.
The old man stopped pretending to have a sore leg and was overjoyed. He immediately took the meat to the kitchen.
Cut off a large piece of the fattest part and prepare to stew it with sauerkraut and vermicelli in the evening. Throw the rest into the tank outside and freeze it.
"Old man, my toes are swollen."
"It will be fine tomorrow, you're so delicate." The old man said with disgust, but still took out a small bottle of ointment from the box and threw it to her.
After receiving the ointment, Chen Qingyi immediately put on a playful smile and prepared to say goodbye.
"Old man, I have something else to do. I'll be leaving now. I have to go to the commune tomorrow. Do you want to take anything with you?"
“No.” Old Zhai waved his hand in disdain, “Stop talking so much, let’s go.
It’s getting dark, be careful not to fall down.”
Winter in Northeast China is like this. It gets dark around 4 a.m. and it snows, so it's easy to fall.
Chen Qingyi waved her hand and ran out with a smile.
Old Zhai followed her out the door, watched her walk away with a smile, then shook his head and went back to the house, humming a little tune and happily preparing to stew the meat.
The next morning, Chen Qingyi rode her bicycle to the commune. She didn't know when the snow stopped last night.
The snow on the road was a palm thick, making riding a bicycle extremely tiring.
Fortunately, the snow didn't melt, so it wasn't slippery. The weather was also kind to her, and there was no wind, so it was fine for her.
It usually took her more than 20 minutes to ride the distance, but it took her almost 40 minutes.
The breath she exhaled froze the area of her scarf near her mouth.
The eyelashes also changed from black to white.
Hey, it's because her eyelashes are so long, like a little fan!
It's really annoying.
Fortunately, she doesn't wear glasses. In the Northeast, wearing glasses in the middle of winter would make everything look white.
Chen Qingyi went to the commune mainly to pretend to buy the six chickens for her grandfather, but in fact she didn't sell them at all. The family only raised a few of them.
After they stop laying eggs, most of them are eaten by themselves.
Meat shops generally don't have live poultry.
Find a place where no one is around, slip into the space, put on makeup, and dress up as a little boy.
He took out two large baskets of pork and tied them to the bicycle.
I staggered to the train station to look for Lv Guihua. As soon as I parked the car, I ran into an acquaintance. She happily shouted:
"Aunt Lu"
Oh, when Lu Guihua, who was frowning, saw that it was her, she immediately smiled and became extremely enthusiastic.
He walked over quickly and grabbed her handlebars, as if he was afraid she would run away.
"You little brat, you finally remembered me. Where have you been for so long? I've been waiting for you for a long time.
Is there any meat?"
As he spoke, he lifted the lid of the backpack and his smile immediately doubled.
“Auntie bought all this old succulent.
The black market price is 1.2 yuan per pound now, so I won’t take advantage of you. Come in and get the money for you.”
Chen Qingyi smiled. She didn't go to the black market when she came here, but she had an idea in her mind.
Things on the black market are usually twice as expensive as those sold in the government market.
There are fewer vegetables in winter and they are more expensive than usual.
Her meat is a mix of fat and lean, so the price is very reasonable on average.
"It's been a while since I last saw you. Aunt Lu, you look so radiant. Is there something good going on?"
"Oh, there is good news." When talking about this, Lu Guihua couldn't close her mouth.
"My youngest brother from my mother's family is getting married before New Year's Day, and he's just short of meat, and here you are."
Last time, they shared a piglet. She took home nearly 30 kilograms of meat and gave some to her parents and her husband's family.
It gave her a very big face.
This time her parents couldn't buy meat, so they came to her for help. She had to do a good job.
Save your face.
As soon as they entered the office, everyone else's eyes lit up, and they looked at Chen Qingyi as if she were a plate of fragrant braised pork.
The webmaster even personally poured him a cup of brown sugar water.
This treatment was very pleasing, and Chen Qingyi was not polite. She greeted him with a smile.
I just sat on the chair, slurping the sugar water, letting them rummage through the baskets, "They are all pork, this time it's not wild boar.
It’s domestically raised, the meat is delicious and has no mutton smell.
Each one weighs two pounds, so all of these weigh a hundred pounds."
This pig weighs 456 pounds and is very fat. The fat is as wide as her middle finger, and the lean meat seems to be greasy.
Last night I picked out the smaller second brother.
She was very worried in the space.
Fubao followed her blind instructions, which made her so angry that she ate spicy grilled chicken wings in the space in the middle of the night, in front of Fubao.
