Tuan Tuan was reluctant to cook and eat the pheasants and rabbits at first, but after being tempted by all kinds of delicious food from Ren Rongyan and Chen Zhifeng, he finally allowed them to cook his favorite rabbits and pheasants.
The men were collecting game and eels, Wang Yaping was cooking the rice, Ji Bingqing was picking the vegetables from the three families, and Ji Luo was stewing the spareribs he had bought in the morning, using a wood stove to make a big pot of sparerib and kelp soup.
"Tuantuan, let's go and call grandpa and grandma."
It was time to get off work. Ji Luo called to ask her uncle and brother-in-law about recruiting. Tuan Tuan immediately followed her, picking up his favorite pheasant feathers.
The call was answered by Ren Yi. He had just got home from get off work and hadn't even had time to drink a sip of tea.
As soon as Tuantuan heard his grandfather's voice, he immediately called out sweetly, "Grandpa, I miss you so much."
Ren Yi was very happy to hear his precious grandson's words. The fatigue from a busy day at work instantly disappeared, and he smiled from ear to ear: "Miss grandpa, come back quickly, grandpa will pick you up at the train station."
"Grandpa, I want to play more. Dad has caught rabbits and chickens. I want to eat them." Tuantuan hasn't had the delicious food yet.
"Didn't you say you missed grandpa?" Ren Yi laughed.
Ji Luo laughed beside him, "My dear, missing grandpa and eating delicious food are two different things, right?"
Tuan Tuan grinned and laughed. Ji Luo taught him again: "Tell Grandpa what you did today. Repeat to Grandpa what you said on the way to the phone just now."
"Grandpa, I'm playing in the mud. Daddy caught a lot of...eels. Daddy also caught rabbits and chickens. We'll cook them for dinner in the evening."
"By the way, Dad just went hunting in the mountains. He caught two wild rabbits and a big pheasant. He also caught half a bucket of eels in the morning. We will cook them tonight." Ji Luo repeated his words.
"Tuantuan, did you go catch it with your dad?" Ren Yi asked him.
"I caught a lot."
After letting the two chat for a few minutes, Ji Luo took the microphone to talk to his father-in-law, and then asked Ren Rongjie and his brother about recruiting.
When Ren Rongxi came to answer the phone, Tuantuan started to flatter him again, showing off all kinds of delicious food to his uncle, and said that it was very fun here and he would play for a few more days before going back. In the end, it was only when Ji Luo urged him to hang up that he did so.
When the mother and son came back, Ji Shengli was cutting up the fish again. He saw that it was a silver carp weighing six or seven pounds, and asked, "Brother Shengli, where did you get this fish?"
"My dad just bought it. Someone on the other side of the river cast a net and got it."
The dishes for tonight were cooked by the younger generations. When the others came back from work, the food was almost ready. Two tables were set up in the yard, and they started eating as soon as everyone arrived.
Ji Luo cooked all the meat dishes. She served Tuantuan and Chaohui a separate portion of non-spicy dishes, and the rest were all spicy and strong-flavored dishes.
Tuantuan was playing with pheasant feathers in her hands. She didn't sit on the stool to eat. After taking a bite, she ran back and forth in the yard. Ji Luo didn't chase her to feed her. She took the opportunity to eat her own meal. The dishes tonight were all to her liking, especially the spicy and sour eel meat, which was her favorite. She scooped two large spoonfuls and put them in the bowl to mix with rice.
"Ren Yunqian, come and eat, and then go swim in the river." Ren Rongyan pulled his son over to feed him.
"Dad, I want to go swimming."
"Eat quickly and then leave. Your uncle and the others are going with you. Let's go play in the water together." Ren Rongyan fed him a little roughly, stuffing a big mouthful of food into his mouth.
None of the other people were eating politely and they ate very quickly. The portions of the dishes tonight were quite large, but there were so many people that everyone took a spoonful and it was quickly divided up.
The double-harvest season is hard work. People are busy from dawn to dusk. Not only do their butts get tanned, but they are also exhausted. After eating and throwing away their bowls and chopsticks, they don't want to move anymore.
After a short rest, the men went to the river to take a bath, and the women also fetched water to take a shower.
As it was getting dark, the team leader came over and then went to the team and used the radio to inform everyone to bring their own benches to gather at the threshing ground.
When Ji Luo and the others came, the threshing ground was crowded with people. Seeing that the whole team, young and old, men and women, had come, the scene was in chaos. She directed and arranged: "The elders should sit on the side, and the young people should sit in the middle. The eight girls who were going to the home textile factory last night, come to Chen Zhifeng to register now, come in person, and parents and elders are not required to accompany you."
"Hey, Ji Luo, Chen Zhifeng, please add a few more people to the home textile factory. My daughter and son-in-law all want to go." The person who spoke was Xiaohe's aunt.
Hearing her bossy attitude, Chen Zhifeng raised his eyebrows and said, "Auntie, I've made it clear last night that the home textile factory doesn't recruit male comrades, and the number of workers to be recruited is limited. We've made it clear that we only need these eight people, so please don't make things difficult for us. Also, we've emphasized that we'll only recruit people who we know well in our team, and we won't recruit people from outside teams for the time being. If something happens to them, we can't take the responsibility."
"Yes, Ji Luo and Chen Zhifeng made it very clear last night that we would only recruit children from our team, and they also told us not to let outsiders know. Why did you call your daughter and son-in-law back?"
"A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Your eldest daughter, Da Jiao and Xiao Jiao, are already married and are no longer members of Niu Jiao Wan."
"She gave birth to two fierce girls. Anyone who gets involved with them will be in trouble. Ji Luo and the others are not blind. They know their personalities very well and will not agree to let them enter the factory to cause trouble."
"Ji Luo has a limited number of vacancies. There are so many young people in our team who are unemployed, so we must give priority to them. Those who married out cannot take up the quota."
"Yes, each of our families has children of the right age, and we would love to squeeze one more in. This married woman must not come and take the job."
“…”
Before coming here, Ji Luo had already anticipated that something like this would happen, and told Li Hongjuan and the other three sisters-in-law in advance, asking them to go and inform the parents of the eight girls first.
Xiaohe's aunt wanted to force all her daughters and sons-in-law over, and was shouting and making a fuss. The parents of these eight girls were not pushovers, and they surrounded her and choked her, forming a circle to prevent her from getting close to Ji Luo and the others.
After the eight girls registered their information with Chen Zhifeng, they were all very happy. Ji Luo made arrangements beside them: "Tomorrow the commune leader will give you a letter of introduction. We will go to buy train tickets together. You should finish all your personal matters within two or three days. If you suddenly regret not going, please tell us in advance."
"Sister Luo, we won't regret it." The eight people said hurriedly.
Ji Luo nodded and continued, "You don't need to bring too much luggage. The factory has work clothes for you, three sets for winter and summer. You can wear one set and bring another set. Bring your own shoes. Ordinary cloth shoes and sandals will do. You can't wear slippers when you are working, but you can wear slippers in the dormitory."
"You can bring basins, buckets, toiletries, quilts, mats, thermoses, etc. You can choose not to bring them. There is a life service center in the factory. The items are very complete, more complete than those in the supply and marketing cooperative, and the prices are cheaper. You can buy them there."
"The factory provides accommodation. The dormitories have bunk beds, one per person. There are eight people in each room. We will arrange for the eight of you to stay in one room later."
"The food in Yangcheng is relatively light. The factory provides three meals a day, but there are not many spicy dishes in the cafeteria. You may not be used to it when you first get there. I suggest you bring some spicy sauce, fermented bean curd and pickles."
