Chapter 133: The whole village is mobilized
Zhang Da Ye originally didn't want to go. He was old and his teeth had all fallen out. He couldn't eat meat. Hearing what Auntie Pang said, he became stubborn and said, "Let's go!"
In the island city in 1983, the common people believed in the principle that they could do it themselves without spending any money. The
villagers spontaneously found things they were good at.
Some were responsible for killing pigs, some were responsible for building stoves, some were responsible for picking vegetables, and some were responsible for cleaning fish, shrimps and seafood.
Everyone who came to eat brought their own household utensils, whether it was tables, chairs, benches or pots and pans from home. Even children knew to bring some firewood.
Lin Wanxia was so busy as the town commander that he tried to put everyone in the right place and ensure that everything went smoothly.
"Second uncle, can you help me find some green bricks to build a few long pools... Yes, the kind that look like cow troughs, but they should be shorter and have no bottom."
"Brother Song, can you help me make some charcoal? Don't know how to make it? Go find some fruit wood and I'll teach you."
"Sister Qin, are you responsible for cleaning the shrimp threads of these shrimps?"
"..."
Lin Wanxia wiped the sweat from her forehead and ran around the compound.
When I was a social animal, I always thought that being a leader was the easiest. I just had to talk and the people under me had to run around.
I didn't expect that being a leader was not as easy as I imagined.
Lin Wanxia took some time to think about it. It's not easy to be a small leader. It should be much easier to become a big leader.
Leave the problems to the school leaders to worry about.
So we still have to work hard to become a bigger leader.
Just when Lin Wanxia was overwhelmed, the village committee secretary and Grandpa Sun walked in.
Grandpa Sun smiled and said to Lin Wanxia: "Are you too busy? I found a commander for you."
The village committee secretary followed and said: "If you don't mind, tell me what to do and I'll help you."
Lin Wanxia shook hands with the two elders gratefully, "Grandpa Sun, Uncle Li, you are finally here!"
She told Secretary Li and Grandpa Sun how the venue needed to be arranged.
Secretary Li nodded, "Uncle Sun told me everything you want to do. Don't worry, I will vote for you later."
Lin Wanxia thanked him again.
Grandpa Sun took out a bottle of foreign soda from his back and handed it to Lin Wanxia, "Does your throat smoke?"
Lin Wanxia's eyes lit up and she said, "Grandpa Sun still loves me!" "Thank you, Grandpa Sun!" She took the soda and gulped it down.
Her throat was indeed dry and itchy.
Halfway through the soda, Lin Wanxia couldn't swallow it.
No one could swallow it when being stared at by a dozen pairs of eyes.
Lin Wanxia looked at the half bottle of soda left in her hand, and then looked down at the eyes of the children who had not yet learned to cover up and pretend.
Passing the soda to the child closest to him, "Hey, you guys drink this bottle first. I'll go buy some soda later, and everyone will have a share!"
Grandpa Sun said hurriedly, "You don't have to run again. Your brother Dapeng has already bought it and he will bring it over later. I came here first to bring you a bottle."
"Grandpa Sun is still thoughtful." Lin Wanxia raised her thumb sweetly.
The seafood is simple to prepare, and the key is freshness.
It is either steamed or boiled.
Squid is put on the iron plate, clams are made into soup, and clams and clams are stir-fried.
The vegetables are all brought by the villagers themselves, such as cabbage, radish, potatoes, bean sprouts, etc.
The chef recognized by the village is in charge of the cooking, either stir-fried or cold.
The highlight is barbecue.
The island city is relatively backward, and oxen cannot be slaughtered innocently.
Most of the people on the island are fishermen and no one raises sheep. Mutton is not easy to buy. You can have a little, but there is not enough to feed hundreds of people.
So the barbecue is mainly pork skewers.
Half of the meat is used for barbecue, part of the meat is used for cooking, and the rest is used to make a large pot of braised pork.
At Lin Wanxia's request, the ribs were made into braised and sweet and sour spare ribs.
Bones and potatoes were stewed in a large pot.
The smell of meat attracted more villagers.
Even Zhao Gangzhu came over with a bowl.
Lin Wanxia didn't say anything. Zhao Gangzhu did a lot of immoral things under the instigation of Zhao Tiezhu, but his wife has a positive outlook and is popular in the village.
As the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face.
Boxes of soda and liquor were carried into the village committee courtyard.
The young and old in the fishing village were laughing as if it was New Year's Day.
Perhaps because they were grateful for what they had received, they kept showering Lin Wanxia with compliments for free.
"Xia Xia has been a smart kid since she was young! She's even more amazing now that she's grown up."
"Yeah! All the young girls in our village tied together are not as good as Xia Xia."
"If Zhu Qiaoyun knew about this, she would regret it. I've advised her before that Xia Xia is a girl who doesn't fight for a house or money, so raising her up will make her filial to the couple. But she's shortsighted!" "
Who said you're not here? I heard that Lin Laosi's family is not doing well. Everyone knows what kind of people they are. They wanted to suck blood from the Jin family, but who knew that the Jin family wouldn't buy it at all.
Every time I go to the island city, I can hear about the two families fighting. You see, Xia Xia is so good to us. If Lin Laosi and his people hadn't done too much, wouldn't they be waiting to enjoy Xia Xia's blessing now?"
"Speaking of Teacher Lin, I also heard a little bit about it when I went to the island city yesterday. Yaoyao, that girl, is really ambitious but has a fragile life. She always wanted to marry into a rich family and become a wealthy lady. She did marry into the Jin family, the richest family in the island city, but unfortunately she didn't become a young lady.
I heard that she was hospitalized again."
"Did you see blood again?"
"I heard it was a premature birth this time."
"Ah? Is it true?"
"Hey, hey, hey! What are you talking about? Xia Xia invited us to dinner today, why are you talking about those sad things?"
"That's right, they are blind and don't know the real deal, wouldn't it be good for us
to take advantage of them?" "I wonder why Xia Xia invited us to dinner today?"
"There must be something going on, right? Why would you invite us if you don't have a New Year or a holiday?"
"..."
Lin Wanxia could also hear part of everyone's discussion.
She helped light the charcoal, taught several young people how to barbecue, and then walked to the table where the microphone had been set up in advance.
"Grandpas, grandma, uncles, brothers, sisters, brothers and sisters, good afternoon everyone!" After Lin Wanxia finished speaking, she bent down and bowed.
Everyone applauded.
"First of all, please take your seats." Lin Wanxia gestured, "We can barely count it as a flowing table today. You can choose whatever you want to eat. If you want to eat at the next table, you can change the table."
Due to limited conditions and the messy ingredients, Not a complete buffet.
Barbecue, seafood, stir-fries, and wok stew are all available.
After most people were seated, Lin Wanxia got to the point. "I just heard everyone guessing the reason why I invited everyone to dinner. If I don't explain it clearly, everyone will be unable to eat in peace. So I'll make it short.
I invited everyone to come here today. , mainly to say two things.
The first thing is that I hope young people can actively join our militia.
The second thing is to discuss with our captains about the division of labor among the ships in the future.
