"Have you heard that Mrs. Tian's second son was sent to the police station." The Sun family's daughter-in-law said quietly, covering her mouth.
"What? Sent to the police station? What happened?"
"What happened? Why are you in the police station?"
"I saw him the day before yesterday, and he seemed fine. How did he get to the police station again?"
"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly."
"He wanted to be a good person and do good things, but in the end, his good intentions led to bad results, and he was sent to the police station." The Sun family's daughter-in-law couldn't help laughing when she thought of this incident.
Just yesterday, Ma Zhenggang, the second son of Mrs. Tian, somehow ran to the main road leading to the town at the entrance of the village. He happened to see a woman sitting on the road crying. He went over to ask and found out that the woman had quarreled with her husband. He tried to persuade her, but not long after, the woman's husband came over and saw Ma Zhenggang talking to his wife, who was still crying. He got angry and beat him up.
Ma Zhenggang was stunned by the beating, but when he came to his senses, he also started fighting with the man. The woman saw the fight and hurried to separate them, but this was misunderstood again, and all three of them were taken to the police station.
After everything was explained, Ma Zhenggang was brought back. He just cried out in disappointment and got hit in the face a few times, leaving his face bruised and swollen.
After hearing this, several wives sighed and couldn't help asking, "Why is he going over there if he doesn't have anything to do but go to work?"
"You ran all that way just for that good deed?"
"Can this be considered a good deed?"
When they talked about good people and good deeds, they thought of the letter of introduction that the Song family had received, which gave them a place in the official employment program. They also heard that there was pork, flour, and other things as well, which made them extremely envious.
"It's all for that spot for good people and good deeds, what else could it be for? But, it's not so easy to come across this, and now, I'm in trouble."
Those who had some thoughts in mind gave up their thoughts after hearing this. After all, good people and good deeds are not so easy to come by. They also thought about Song Jianye. His leg had been broken for several months, and it was uncertain whether he would be able to walk in the future.
After talking for a while, the group of people dispersed and went back to their work.
Mrs. Tian looked at her second son with a bruised face and nose at home, feeling angry and distressed, and cursed the couple with many unpleasant words.
......
Two days later, Captain Song Yuangang
An announcement was made over the loudspeaker that the team was preparing to make preserved eggs, and if anyone wanted to make them, they should save some eggs in advance.
These transformed eggs are made by mixing lime and alkali in the right proportions and then burning them. First, prepare everything and stir it into a paste. Then, throw in the intact eggs and cover them for five or six days. After that, let them air-dry for a day or two. Then, the eggs are considered to be transformed.
In the past, every household couldn't afford eggs, and no one would be willing to use them to make this, especially if the eggs didn't improve, and everyone would feel bad about wasting them. But now, although life is not rich, every household still raises a few chickens, and if they save a little, they can make some eggs to eat, which can be regarded as a change of taste for the family.
Because each family couldn't produce much, the brigade would simply do it. If a family wanted eggs, they could bring them to the brigade after being notified. It didn't cost any money; it was considered free.
After the announcement came out, everyone in the team started to prepare, calculating how many eggs to take out to make the transformed eggs.
After hearing this, the Song family also began to prepare.
"Mom, how much should we make?" After eating the preserved eggs, Sun Suyun felt that they tasted very good. It was time to make preserved eggs again this year, and she was a little greedy.
"We made ten last year. How about we make ten this year too?" Chen Xiuxiu looked at Feng Guizhi and asked.
Feng Guizhi thought about the eggs stored in the cupboard and wondered whether she should get more this year.
Our chickens are laying eggs like crazy now, so we don't have to worry about not having enough eggs to eat. Last year, the little ones only had a small bite, and the adults didn't eat much either. Since our family is doing better this year, we can get a few more so everyone can have a taste.
So Feng Guizhi thought about it and said, "Let's make about 20 this year."
"So many, Mom?" Chen Xiuxiu asked in surprise.
"Yes, mother, isn't it a bit too much?" Although Sun Suyun likes to eat transformed eggs, there is a risk of them going bad. If she makes too many and a few of them go bad, she will be heartbroken.
Feng Guizhi knew her second daughter-in-law liked it, and she thought of Yang Yulan, who probably liked it too. She usually ate white flour and meat anyway, so she didn't care about a few eggs.
"Not many. With so many people in the family, there's only enough for one per person. That's settled. Let's hurry up and get ready to cook."
Several daughters-in-law did not respond, but
They all knew that Feng Guizhi knew what was going on, so they didn't need to worry too much.
The little ones were also very excited after hearing this, "Eggs have changed, we can eat eggs now!"
Yuanbao had tried it last year, but he couldn't remember what it tasted like. Baoya, who had never eaten a transformed egg, blinked as she listened to their discussion.
"Are the transformed eggs delicious? What do they taste like? I can't remember." Yuanbao asked.
"It's delicious! Especially the egg yolk, which is runny and especially fragrant." Wenjie likes to eat preserved eggs just like his mother. However, because they made fewer last year, besides Chen Xiuxiu not liking them, they could only eat one between the two of them. He only took two small bites, half egg white and half egg yolk, which tasted especially fragrant.
Maybe it’s because we don’t eat much, so if we eat too little, it will seem particularly precious. Anyway, it is really delicious.
Song Boyu, like Chen Xiuxiu, didn't like it. He felt that cooked eggs were not as delicious as eggs. He shook his head vigorously: "They are not delicious. They are not delicious at all. They taste very strange."
Song Bowen, on the other hand, couldn't say whether he liked it or not. He listened to the discussion between the two sides and said, "It's not bad. It will be ready soon anyway. We'll know whether it tastes good when we try it."
"Well... yes." Song Tianen also nodded.
He turned to look at Baoya: "Little Sister Bao, have you...have you ever eaten a...a transformed egg?"
Baoya shook her little head. She had never eaten a transformed egg, nor had she seen one. Now, after hearing what they said, she was very curious and wondered what the transformed egg looked like.
"You can eat it in a few days. Then you can try it."
Baoya nodded her little head, curved her eyes and smiled as she responded.
After the loudspeaker finished speaking, everyone started to get ready. The village cadres in the brigade headquarters also started to get busy. They had to prepare the things they needed in advance.
I don’t know if Gao Zhifu heard about their plan to change the eggs, but the next day he came to find Song Yuangang.
Although they knew each other before and their brigades were close, they didn't have much of a relationship. After the meeting in the city, Song Yuangang invited Gao Zhifu to his home for dinner, and the two of them became familiar with each other.
"Brother Song, is your team going to have a fight?" Gao Zhifu walked into the house and said directly without beating around the bush.
Everyone in the team knew about this, and it was not a rare thing. Song Yuangang did not hide it: "Yes, it happened in the past two days.
If anyone wants some, just bring some eggs."
"Brother Song, can I discuss this with you? Can our two teams work together on this? Don't worry, if anything comes up, our team will cover half of it."
After all, the two brigades were close to each other. As soon as the news that their Red Flag Production Brigade was going to make transformed eggs spread out, many team members came to him, saying that they also wanted to try making the transformed eggs.
He'd known about the Hongqi Production Brigade's initiative last year, but hadn't asked much. But this year, things were better, especially with the good harvest, and everyone wanted to try it. Plus, he'd been praised by the brigade in the city a while ago, so Gao Zhifu decided to contribute and work with both brigades together.
It wouldn't cost much anyway, and if they needed help, they wouldn't be short of people in the brigade. So, that's why they came to Song Yuangang and told him about it.
Song Yuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he smiled and agreed: "If you want to participate, that would be great."
Gao Zhifu and Song Yuangang quickly reached an agreement. Since the people from the Yuejin Production Brigade had never done this before, the people from the Hongqi Production Brigade would be responsible for it. Since they couldn't help with manpower, they would just provide a little more material resources.
After everything was communicated, Gao Zhifu left satisfied. He then used a loudspeaker to announce the matter to the entire brigade. The first two days would be spent on the Red Flag Production Brigade, and on the third day, their own team would go. No money was required; just bring as many eggs as needed.
The people in the Yuejin Production Team were very happy when they heard this. They didn't have to spend any money and could just take their eggs and have them made into preserved eggs. They heard that the preserved eggs tasted very delicious.
At that moment, everyone started to calculate how many eggs they should bring over.
Chen Fengxia frowned when she heard this at home. The chickens at home didn't lay eggs at all. She wanted to get some eggs to try, but...
"Mom, I want to eat transformed eggs. I want to eat transformed eggs. Please bring me those transformed eggs." Liu Dazhui pulled Chen Fengxia's clothes and said in a spoiled manner.
When Chen Fengxia heard this, how could she not agree? Thinking of the four eggs she had saved for a month, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, Mom will make you that preserved egg in a couple of days."
Liu Dazhu was so happy that he jumped for a long time.
Chen Fengxia looked up into the room and curled her lips. Ever since she stopped Liu Youcang from going to Baoya that day, he has become
He was taciturn, with a sullen face and didn't say a word, as if I owed him money.
But it will only last for a few days at most. After a few days, he will forget about the Baoya incident and will continue to live his life as usual.
Chen Fengxia didn't think about it anymore and turned into the kitchen.
.......
Soon it was time to make the eggs, and some people left early to avoid long lines. Since the work in the fields was not too heavy, Song Yuangang simply told them that they only needed to work half a day for the next two days, and their work points would be two and a half.
So, early that morning, the brigade headquarters was bustling with activity. Inside, brigade officials were working with shovels, while outside, people stood in circles. Some were there to make the eggs, some were there to join in the fun, and some were curious to see how the eggs were made.
A line formed nearby, and each person handed their eggs to the brigade cadre one by one. They first checked them to make sure they were all intact, and then asked the brigade staff standing nearby to write down the number in a notebook: "Seven eggs from Liu Liying's family."
"Sun Aiqin's family has ten eggs."
"Chen Dafu's family has eleven eggs. One of them has a crack, so it doesn't count."
"Xu..."
After handing the eggs to the cadres in the brigade, they did not leave but just watched from the side.
In front of them, on the ground, stood a large, wide-mouthed cauldron, filled with a mixture of something gray and muddy, used to make the eggs. Once the eggs were coated in the mud, they were scooped out one by one using a hoop just big enough to hold them, then evenly coated in the sawdust.
Do this repeatedly, then put all the finished products in a box and seal it.
The brigade headquarters was bustling with activity all morning. The people from Old Song's family were all working in the fields in the morning and did not go over to join in the fun. It was not until around four or five in the afternoon, when the weather was not so hot and there were not so many people there, that the people from Old Song's family finally went over together.
The little ones all followed, walking briskly along the way.
When they arrived, there were still people in the yard, but there was no queue. Feng Guizhi handed over the basket. Deng Xiuchun from the brigade was stunned when she saw so many eggs in the basket. She had been checking for the whole morning and found that most of them had only about ten eggs, not as many as the ones in Old Song's family.
She carefully checked it all, then tilted her head and said
Said: "Feng Guizhi's family has a total of twenty-eight eggs."
The people around were also surprised to hear so much, but they didn't ask any more questions and just lowered their heads to write it down.
The little ones over there were crowded in the crowd, watching the egg-changing process in front of them, staring at them without blinking: "Wow~"
It was Baoya's first time seeing the process of making preserved eggs. She blinked in amazement as she watched the eggs being coated with mud, then with sawdust, and then sealed.
Feng Guizhi and the others didn't leave either, but stayed to watch. When they saw that it was getting dark, they said:
"Let's go back and I'll give you a taste when we come back to get it in a few days."
Although the children were reluctant to leave, they nodded and went home with Feng Guizhi and the others.
Two days passed quickly, and the Red Flag Production Brigade had finished its work. On the third day, the members of the Yuejin Production Brigade arrived early in the morning.
Chen Fengxia didn't rush to go. She felt that if there were too many people, there would be more bad guys, so she chose to go when there were fewer people. At around 5 or 6 in the afternoon, when everyone was almost done with work and preparing to cook, she went to the Hongqi Production Brigade with four eggs.
