The two chatted for a while, and Mrs. An couldn't resist her son's urging and went to the kitchen to prepare the pork belly.
When Brother An and his family came back from the fields, they saw An Jingzhi smiling and carrying a thermos.
"Brother and sister-in-law, this is the milk I brought back from the county to nourish the family."
An Xiaoqiu, who came back first, was already sitting at the kitchen table, drinking in small sips.
"Give the milk to the baby. We adults won't drink it." Brother An refused as usual.
An Jingzhi acted as if he didn't hear it and poured five bowls of milk, just enough for Brother An's family of five.
"Drink it quickly. Dinner will be served soon."
Seeing the family looking at him, Brother An could only nod and say, "Drink. Thank you, uncle."
After getting permission, An Xiaoxia, the youngest daughter of Big Brother An, thanked her and walked towards the table. She smiled at her cousin An Xiaoqiu who was sitting next to her before picking up the bowl in front of her and saying, "It's delicious."
The two sons of Brother An had never drunk milk before. They took a sip at the table and found it tasteless and a little fishy. They forced themselves to drink the rest of the milk.
After drinking, Brother An and Sister-in-law An went to the kitchen to help Mrs. An.
For dinner, at An Jingzhi's request, Mrs. An made a plate of stir-fried pork belly and a bowl of braised pork. She also used the lard to make a spicy sauce and fried some lard to save.
“It’s so delicious!”
An Jingzhi picked some cabbage leaves from his own field, washed them, put them on a plate and placed them in front of him. He cut off the stalks and left only the leaves.
Spread out the leaves, put a piece of pork belly in it, add a scallion, then wrap it up and dip it in the spicy sauce cooked by Mrs. An. It smells so good!
Others found his strange way of eating quite curious.
Several children from Brother An's family couldn't help but go to the field to pick some vegetable leaves, but they didn't dare to do as their uncle did and leave only the leaves and the stems next to them.
If they dare to do this, they will definitely be beaten!
Imitating An Jingzhi's way of eating, even with the addition of vegetable stems, the three of them still enjoyed it. An Xiaoxia also added some rice to the vegetable leaves, wrapping it up into a big ball. She couldn't help but squint her eyes at the delicious taste.
"I think you are just bored because you have eaten too much." Although Mrs. An disliked the way they ate, she did not stop them.
Later, the An family wrapped all the stir-fried pork belly.
The last piece was eaten by Old Lady An. Yes, she was also full and bored.
"Son, where did you learn how to eat it this way? It's quite delicious."
Finally, the whole family ate the pork belly with rice and filled their stomachs.
However, the one who ate the most was An Jingzhi. Brother An and his friends drank a bowl of milk before the meal, so they definitely couldn't eat as fast as An Jingzhi.
After eating, An Jingzhi burped with satisfaction.
Fortunately, they drank the milk and were not as quick as I was.
Normally, the family would not cook dry rice, but today they bought meat and An Jingzhi did not want to eat porridge and sweet potatoes. Old Mrs. An kept complaining that her son was wasting food, but her hands kept scooping out several spoonfuls of rice.
After the meal, An Lao Da and his family found out that An Xiaojun might be noticed by the provincial sports base, and today's meals were An Xiaojun's nutritional subsidies.
"Xiaojun has made great progress. He can make money at such a young age." Brother An said with a smile.
An Xiaojun smiled foolishly, "Hehe."
As Mrs. An cleared the dishes, she said, "Better than both of your brothers."
The two An brothers, who had done nothing, looked at each other innocently without saying a word.
…
After waiting for several days without receiving any news, An Jingzhi, who was originally determined to do it, became a little uncertain.
Logically speaking, shouldn't it?
On the other side, Jiang Wei was leading a person in charge from the capital towards their village.
After he reported the matter to the provincial sports base, they couldn't make up their minds and discussed it with their superiors. In this way, the news reached the ears of the person in charge of the capital sports training base.
Such a good seedling, even if he has some defects, but as long as he can accept their training and be obedient, nothing else will be a problem!
They were each riding a bicycle borrowed from the county government, and there was an official from the county government leading the way.
"Comrades, the address you mentioned is in front of us."
"Thank you for your hard work, Comrade Wu. Go back to your work. We can go back by ourselves when you're done."
When Jiang Wei and the other man came, An Jingzhi was directing An Xiaojun to help him scoop water while he was washing his hair in the yard.
"Is this Comrade An Xiaojun's home?"
Hearing the familiar voice, An Jingzhi looked up with foam on his head, and his heart finally settled down.
"Is that you, Teacher Jiang? Please sit for a while while I finish washing my hair. Xiaojun, quickly scoop some water for me."
When Mrs. An heard the voice and saw that it was someone she knew her son, she hurried to the kitchen and brought out two bowls of water.
"Comrades, drink some water."
"Thank you, Auntie." The two took the water, took a sip, put it down, and sat there waiting for An Jingzhi.
After An Jingzhi finished his work, he directed An Xiaojun to pour the water. He wiped his head half dry before sitting in front of the two of them.
Jiang Wei took the initiative to introduce, "Comrade An, this is Zhao Sangang, the sports base teacher from the capital."
"Teacher Zhao."
After a few minutes of greetings, they got down to business.
"Comrade An, our Capital Sports Base has decided to admit An Xiaojun, but based on An Xiaojun's situation, you may have to come along."
An Jingzhi couldn't ask for more. "What about my living expenses? Now that you've seen the situation, you know my family isn't well off. Xiaojun and I are both working people, and Xiaojun will get a sports allowance. If I leave, my family..."
When Mrs. An heard her son's shameless words, she suddenly turned sideways to hide the strange expression on her face.
How can she be considered a labor force if she didn't even help her son when his soy sauce bottle fell over?
Zhao Sangang didn't know An Jingzhi's personality, but he thought his request was normal. "Comrade An, if you come with us to take care of An Xiaojun, our base will not only provide food and accommodation, but also give you a 20 yuan subsidy every month."
An Jingzhi was satisfied. His son's second half of life was settled, and he also received his pension in advance.
"Okay, okay. So when are we leaving?"
Zhao Sangang's face turned serious. "Since Comrade An has accepted it, we can set off in three days." Training early can give us a better chance of winning in the stadium.
An Jingzhi glanced at Old Lady An and asked Zhao Sangang, "Can we have a holiday during the Chinese New Year?"
"Of course there will be a holiday, and you can take Xiaojun home with you then."
After the two left, the whole village became lively.
Old Mrs. An could finally feel proud for a while. After her publicity, everyone knew that her little grandson had been spotted by the sports base in the capital, and would be a government employee in the future!
