Da Loudspeaker looked at Fatty in confusion, "Fatty, is this true? When Du Erleng's father fell from the roof that day, I saw a fat woman helping to serve tea and water.
I even asked Erleng's mother, and she said that she was her niece, who came to stay at her house for two days, but she didn't say she was Erleng's wife!"
After saying that, he turned his gaze to Lin Zishan, "Lin Zhiqing, didn't you bandage him that day? Isn't that what Erleng's mother said?"
Lin Zishan nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Fatty, I saw that woman that day too. She was dark and plump, with big eyes and thick lips, and she worked very efficiently.
Erleng's mother even asked her to bring out the urinal for Erleng, which I also found quite strange. Erleng's mother said it was a distant niece of hers, not Erleng's wife.
The fat lady smiled and said, "You guys don't understand this! Erleng's mother was also anxious, so she wanted to find a woman for him to marry as soon as possible. Who would have thought that Du Erleng looked down on this fat woman.
Erleng's mother wanted to let this woman stay at home for a few days, maybe she would develop feelings for Erleng over time.
You say this Erleng is really a piece of shit. If you don't like him, just stay away from him or send him home.
The day Erleng's mother brought him home, he slept on the same kang with someone else."
Loudspeaker asked curiously, "Fat Ni, how come you know so much about what's going on on the kang?"
The fat wife laughed evilly a few times and said, "My boss joined the village patrol. That night when we were on patrol, we heard a lot of noise coming from Erleng's house, and the woman was screaming very loudly.
The little broken wall of Erleng's house could not block anything. They just gathered at the bottom of the wall to listen. You can't guess what these two people did. "
Chunni's mother quickly leaned over to Fatty's wife and said, "Fatni, it's just the same thing on the kang. He's a bachelor, what can he possibly do?"
The fat wife lowered her voice and said, "The young widow was sitting on the armchair in Du Erleng's house. The two of them were having a tantrum on the chair. The chair was creaking and shaking so much that it was almost falling apart. It really made those old men open their eyes."
Da Loudspeaker curled his lips and said, "She's really extravagant. She looks honest on the outside, but you can't tell she's such a wild girl on the inside. One day I'll break the chair apart and stick it in her ass to see if she still acts wildly."
After saying that, he looked at Fatty and whispered, "Fatty, I heard from them that fat people are very strong in that area. Are you the same?"
The fat lady laughed and clapped Daba's hand, "Daba, what are you talking about? I'm not like her, haha..."
Chu Jingqiu and Shi Aihong looked at each other, and both of them covered their mouths with their hands and laughed awkwardly. Lin Zishan also lowered her head and scratched her hands awkwardly.
When they returned to the educated youth point, Zhang Pingping and Jiang Jiang were waiting for them in the house and saw them come back.
Zhang Pingping smiled and said to Lin Zishan and Shi Aihong, "I've made your clothes. You can try them on later. If they don't fit, I'll make some alterations for you."
Shi Aihong waved her hand and said, "No need. Sister Pingping has made clothes for me so many times, and they always fit me perfectly. There's no need for alterations at all."
Lin Zishan also nodded in agreement. "Exactly. I've never seen a woman in this area make clothes that fit better or look better than Sister Pingping!"
Pingping's eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled. "You two are just flatterers. Are you afraid that if you say I don't do it well, I won't do it for you anymore? Don't worry, as long as you don't mind, I will help you next time."
Chu Jingqiu saw a lot of red beans soaking in a basin on the ground, so she looked up at Zhang Pingping and said, "Sister Pingping, are these the beans you soaked?"
Zhang Pingping nodded, "Yes, Zishan said yesterday that the millet has been distributed for some time, and since Chinese New Year is coming soon, we need to grind the millet and make some sticky rice dumplings.
I see you guys haven't come back yet, so I soaked the beans first. Tomorrow we'll go grind the millet into flour and make some sticky bean buns and sticky fire shovels."
When Lin Zishan heard about sticky rice dumplings, her mouth watered with greed, "Aihong, Jingqiu, you don't know how delicious this is.
Our Qingshan Brigade doesn't grow many grains, so the amount of millet distributed to each household during the autumn harvest is very small. Many members' families are reluctant to cook it and save it for the New Year.
When the team distributed food that day, I deliberately asked for less corn and more millet, just in anticipation of making sticky rice dumplings for the New Year. When I dip them in sugar, they'll be so delicious."
Shi Aihong's appetite was also aroused. "I always hear the aunties in the village talk about how delicious sticky rice dumplings are. They also say that the new rice of that year tastes even better. I must try the taste of sticky rice dumplings."
After breakfast the next day, Lin Zishan carried the grain bag, while Chu Jingqiu and Shi Aihong carried the borrowed winnowing basket and sieve and came to the processing point in the village.
There were already several households waiting in line ahead. Lin Zishan put his bag of grain in the line, and a few people started chatting nearby.
In front of them were Yu Fugui's wife and Yu Gaixiang. Ever since Yu Fugui's accident, the mother and daughter have been much more low-key in the village. They just kept their heads down and said nothing. Yu Gaixiang glanced at the people in the queue in front from time to time.
Chu Jingqiu saw that the processing site used a donkey to pull the millstone, and everyone poured the millet onto the millstone and spread it evenly.
The donkey's eyes were blindfolded as it pulled the millstone in circles. The person next to it held a small broom and kept sweeping the millet grains that were crushed to the edge of the millstone into the back.
Millet becomes rhubarb rice after the husks are removed. A woman nearby scooped the husk-removed rhubarb rice into a winnowing basket, winnowed out the broken rice husks, and left the rice grains.
After cleaning the yellow rice, you have to pour it onto the millstone and push the millstone again to grind the yellow rice into flour.
It seems that in the era when technology was not well developed, it was not easy to eat a meal of sticky rice dumplings, as it required so many steps.
When it was almost their turn, Du Erleng's mother, his sister-in-law and a fat woman also came over carrying bags of food.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn from the little donkey to the fat woman. An old lady watching the excitement said, "Erleng's mother, this is Erleng's wife, right? When are you going to have your wedding?"
Erleng's mother rolled her eyes and said, "This is my niece, not Erleng's wife. Our Erleng hasn't even started dating yet. You still have to make an effort. If you see a suitable one, introduce one to our Erleng."
The fat woman's face suddenly darkened, and she glared at Erleng's mother in dissatisfaction, but she didn't say anything in the end. She just held the flour bag tighter.
The old lady curled her lips and said, "Your house made such a loud noise that day. I heard it seemed to come from Erleng's room. Could it be that you and Erleng's father made such a noise in the middle of the night?"
