Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

The men and women in the village gathered around the campfire, chatting and gossiping, wondering how much meat they could eat today.

The children were also happily gathering around the bonfire, staring at the big pot on the stove and drooling.

Even four or five dogs, which were rarely seen in the village, came. They smelled the scent and ran over, squatting quietly by the side, sticking out their tongues continuously.

The old man who usually stayed at home at the entrance of the village also found a stool and sat in front of the campfire to chat with a few old people.

Zhang Xingwang looked at this bustling scene and felt that it was more lively than the markets in later generations.

It would have been perfect if he hadn't mentioned six or seven times during the chat that he couldn't carry the roe deer.

It cannot be said that the old man and the old woman were indifferent to their teasing of their grandson, but they just turned a deaf ear to it and looked up at their grandson, as if they were enduring it with great difficulty.

Finally, under everyone's eager eyes, a pot of fragrant roe deer meat came out of the pot. Seeing the chef Da Niu nodded, the village chief stood up and shouted "Dinner is ready".

Everyone got up in a hurry and started to line up for food with smiles on their faces. From time to time, there were shouts of "Shitou, come here quickly" and "Erya, where have you been?" It is estimated that these children will have to have a feast of bamboo shoots and fried meat when they go home.

Sure enough, Uncle Daniu’s cooking skills were impeccable. This meal was the most satisfying one Zhang Xingwang had had in recent days.

The roe deer meat was stewed to perfection, very chewy, without any strange smell, and left a lingering taste in the mouth.

The fresh and fragrant broth, with green chopped green onions and red dried chili powder, makes people's appetite increase. I quickly tasted it and it was a real treat. With the soup and a bite of the two-grain steamed bun, it was really delicious.

After everyone lined up to get their meals, the surroundings suddenly became much quieter, and no one was busy chatting. The only sounds in the yard were the smacking of lips as people ate meat and slurped soup.

At this time, Zhang Xingwang even had the idea of ​​taking out the wild boar and eating it again.

He shook his head quickly, dismissed a bold idea, lowered his head and ate the hard-earned food in front of him. He also became more determined to learn from Sha Zhu's cooking skills in the future.

While eating, I was thinking, if my fourth sister or eldest sister had half of this cooking skill, how great it would be. I should let the women in the family who have never tasted delicious food come and try it, so that they can feel what real deliciousness is.

Every time I saw them happily drinking the fish soup made by my fourth sister, I would feel suspicious and think that there was something wrong with my taste buds.

After the meal, everyone had to go to work the next day, so they patted their bellies and went home one after another. The dogs in the village were left to enjoy their dinner.

Uncle Daniu originally planned to use the bones to make some bone soup tomorrow, but was stopped by Uncle Yougen. Everyone looked at the dogs that were so thin that their ribs were visible, and they all agreed on the ownership of the bones.

After finishing the delicious dinner, Zhang Xingwang and the old couple wandered back home. They drank two more glasses of wine. At Zhang Xingwang's strong suggestion, they digested the food before going to bed.

After all, the old couple are old and usually eat less meat. They are afraid that if they eat too much this time, their stomachs won’t be able to take it, and that would turn a good thing into a bad thing.

After returning to the house, he took a shower and went to bed as he was tired after a long day.

The next morning, the hardworking Master Zhang got up early, said goodbye to the old man and the old woman, started his new day of delivery career, and comforted himself.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Now that I have some ability, of course I have to take responsibility for my family. What's wrong with delivering takeout? Spider-Man also delivers takeout.

Just as he left the village, he saw Uncle Yougen sitting under a big tree at the intersection. He waved at him, stood up, took out a bag, and said to him with a smile in his eyes:

"These are the remaining roe deer offal. You can take them back home and have a meal. It's hard to get them back home. I hope you can understand and don't feel uncomfortable."

"Uncle, it's okay, I understand. Forget about the food. You can take it back and we can have some soup or something at noon."

"Are you sure you don't want it? This is what your uncle Daniu prepared, and the seasoning is mixed in. Just add some water and cook it for a while."

When Zhang Xingwang heard this, he snatched the bag and replied with a smile on his face:

"Uncle still understands me, I won't be polite!"

After saying that, he ran away carrying the bag.

We walked and stopped along the way until we got back to the city, and took the bus straight to the steel mill.

After getting off the bus, I found a state-owned restaurant. Since it was past mealtime and there was no meat, I spent 8 liang of food coupons and cents, ordered two vegetarian dishes and three -gram steamed buns, and ate them all in one go. I felt full of energy again.

It was already past three in the afternoon when I finished my meal. I hurried to the steel rolling mill, but was stopped by the security guard at the gate. He said he was looking for Director Li from the logistics department.

The other party looked at the bag in his hand, was stunned for a long time and said that there was no Director Li in logistics in the factory.

Zhang Xingwang was also puzzled, but later he mentioned Li Huaide. Well, good news came from the delivery room. He was promoted. He is now the deputy director. It is estimated that the previous black bear accelerated the speed of Director Li's progress.

After finally explaining it clearly, I went to see Director Li, who asked why I was looking for him and which unit he was from. Zhang Xingwang couldn't figure it out again.

I couldn't think of a good reason, so I just spread my hands and said embarrassedly, "Looking for my mother Wang Xiulan."

People almost threw up their hands and invited him to the security department for tea. If it weren't for the rescue of half a pack of cadre cigarettes and Wang Xiulan's timely arrival, he would have to wait today. Wang Xiulan came to pick him up after get off work.

After registering, I followed my mother Wang Xiulan into the gate while the gatekeeper looked at me like I was a fool.

Before I took two steps, my mother started asking me questions.

"Did you just come back from the village? Are the old couple okay? Why did you come to the factory? Why are you looking for Director Li? Does he know you?"

I finally understand where fourth sister's curiosity comes from.

Zhang Xingwang was bombarded by Wang Xiulan at this time, and he didn't even have a chance to interrupt. After waiting for her to finish her question, he said half-jokingly:

"Grandpa and grandma are fine, and they've gained two pounds recently. But grandma keeps complaining about you not coming back for a long time, and she almost forgot what you look like."

After saying that, he was given a killing look by Wang Xiulan.

Seeing my mother's unfriendly eyes, he said smugly:

"I know Director Li very well. I've known him since he was still the director. He got my second sister a job. He's a real man."

Wang Xiulan was puzzled when she heard this. Is this talking about Li Huaide?

Isn't he famous for not doing anything that doesn't benefit him? Why is it different from what his son said?

He smiled and slapped Zhang Xingwang, saying with an expression of coaxing a child:

"Tell mom the truth. How can you say that we knew each other when you were the director? You've only recovered from your illness for a few days, but you're becoming more and more out of control."

“He has only been the factory manager for a few days. What I said is not wrong, but I really know him.

It’s true that he did the job for my second sister, but I exchanged it for fish.”

"Isn't that right? You said you exchanged it for fish? We haven't had fish in the factory recently, have we?"

"I do not know then"

After the mother and son finished chatting, Wang Xiulan asked about the bag in his hand and learned that it was a roe deer killed by her son and given by the village chief.

He was so happy that he couldn't help it, but then he muttered with heartache why his partners didn't send him anything, looking like he was being taken advantage of.

Finally, he suddenly said that it was not safe to keep it, so I took a leave and hurriedly delivered the bag home.
