Chapter 87: Pointing fingers at the mulberry tree and cursing the locust tree without any serious intention
Xu Qianjin saw He Pandi leave and planned to go back to the house. "This little girl is leaving so fast. Okay, I have to go back too. I'm still cooking soup in my room."
Seeing Xu Qianjin about to leave, Xie Chen and Li Zhe quickly stood up and said, "Then we'll leave too."
Seeing that everyone had left, Jiang Hao cleaned up the room and looked at Shi Luo who was sitting lazily against the wall. "It's noon now. What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
"Let's make some spicy stir-fried roe deer meat. We have some fresh roe deer meat left over from this morning. Just heat up some steamed buns and make some egg drop soup."
Shi Luo was really too lazy to move. He just wanted to lie on the kang when winter came. But you couldn't blame Shi Luo, because the kang was the warmest place in the whole house.
Watching Jiang Hao busying around on the ground, Shi Luo smiled and coquettishly said, "Brother Hao, you are so nice."
Jiang Hao looked at Shi Luo's lazy look, his eyes darkened, and he laughed, "You know I'm good, but you still want to beat me at night?"
Shi Luo: "Humph, you stinky rascal."
This winter passed quickly for Shi Luo and Jiang Hao. They ate and drank happily every day. Apart from Jiang Hao having to brave the cold wind to go to the commune to collect money and deliver goods, there was nothing else to do.
Shi Luo was lying on the kang eating the walnut kernels that Jiang Hao had cracked for him when he heard a sharp shout coming from outside.
Jiang Hao: "It started again."
Ever since He Baoya got married next door, there has been no peace. Basically, there's a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. Besides quarreling with her mother-in-law and husband, she also stands in the yard and curses in the street.
Shi Luo grabbed a handful of walnut kernels, quickly got off the kang, put on his shoes and ran out.
Seeing Shi Luo's excited look, Jiang Hao put down the walnuts he was cracking and quickly followed him out.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw people standing on the big rocks by the wall, except for the rock next to Shi Luo which was empty.
Jiang Hao also stood up. As for these stones, they were brought back by Li Zhe and others in order to see the excitement in the next yard.
The size and height are similar. When you stand on them, you can see what's happening in the next yard. You don't even need to stand on tiptoe to watch what's happening. It's very convenient.
Jiang Hao was lying on the wall when he saw He Baoya standing in the yard facing two chickens, cursing at them from a distance, making indirect accusations.
"Eat meat, eat meat, eat meat every day, and want to eat insects every day, so you look capable, right? I haven't seen you lay an egg for me to eat. Do you know what happened to those capable people in the early years? They were hung with signs and paraded in the streets.
You have no spirit of hard work at all. You don't even want to eat the wild vegetables I made for you. You want to eat bugs every day. Where can I get so many bugs to feed you? If you still don't eat them, I will kill you and stew you for meat.
You shameless bunch, I really don't know where the bugs you ate came from. Were they pecked out from the ground in an honest way, or were they obtained through unethical means?"
"You say this He Baoya is really a troublemaker. She's been scolding in the yard for a long time. Doesn't she have a sore throat?"
Xu Qianjin was very annoyed because he felt that He Baoya might have been scolding him today because the smell of meat stewing in the house was so fragrant.
Xu Qianjin felt that He Baoya was cursing in the street because she smelled the aroma of meat.
"Maybe it's because I roasted a chicken today and she smelled it, so she made such a fuss."
Xie Chen also felt that He Baoya was scolding him and he hated He Baoya very much.
"Tell me, what she said was particularly brainless. How could a chicken have such a crooked way of speaking? If she wants to make indirect accusations, she should find a more serious one."
Shi Luo felt that He Baoya was making such a fuss just to annoy people.
Jiang Hao was also very annoyed, and couldn't even eat meat happily. "She has no culture, so she will definitely say whatever comes to her mind, but we are not afraid.
After all, we bought and exchanged so much meat from the brigade before the New Year, and everyone in the brigade knew about it. We had a clear path ahead.”
Li Zhe nodded repeatedly. "That's right. With so much meat, if we pickle it and save it for later consumption, we can eat it for a whole year. Besides, our families all give us subsidies, and everyone knows this. So what's wrong with eating more meat a few times?"
Shi Luo stuffed the walnut kernel in his hand into his mouth, jumped down from the stone swiftly, curled his lips, and looked unhappy.
"When I heard the noise, I thought He Baoya was fighting with her mother-in-law, so I came out to watch the fun. Who knew they were scolding us? It really spoiled the fun."
Xu Qianjin agreed very much. "Who says not? If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have come out. I have to go back to work the day after tomorrow. I really cherish this last bit of rest time now."
Xie Chen: "Oh, by the way, there will be a movie showing at the No. 1 Middle School playground tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to go and watch it?"
Xu Qianjin decided without hesitation, "No, even though it's spring now, late spring cold snaps are no joke. I feel like the temperature has dropped so much recently that it's unbearably cold. I won't go and get cold."
“I don’t want to go either.”
Shi Luo didn't want to walk for more than an hour like a fool, go to the commune and freeze for half a day, and watch a few movies of average quality with plots that he had seen before.
"There are only a few movies. I heard tomorrow's show will be either Landmine Warfare or Tunnel Warfare. I've seen both countless times. Are you guys going?"
"hey-hey"
Li Zhe laughed twice before continuing,
"We don't want to go either. It's so cold. We'd rather curl up in the warm quilt on the kang. Jiang Hao, what about you? Are you going? I heard from the team leader today that he and Aunt Cuihua will definitely go."
