Farming and Bend the National Husband

The next morning, Xia Jiusheng and Xia's mother cut the vegetables, tidied them up, and put them in fresh-keeping boxes. Now that Zhao Zezhong could do some simple things, he washed his hands and carried the vegetables to the intersection with Xia Jiusheng.

This path of more than ten meters long seems to have to be repaired, otherwise it would be too inconvenient for cars to get in and out, Zhao Zezhong thought to himself.

Xia Jiusheng is used to it, but if he has the money, it's good to have some repairs. After all, he needs to buy a car. When the time comes, the car can be driven directly into the yard, which is also convenient.

It's just that this road, except for the villagers with land in the back, is his family who walk the most. The widening of the road needs approval from the village, and Xia Guoqing, an old man, probably won't agree.

Uncle Zheng next door was standing in his yard, saw Xia Jiusheng, walked over with a mysterious face, and whispered in his ear: "Xia Guoqing was just taken away—"

Xia Jiusheng was startled, but suddenly understood, and asked excitedly, "Have you been arrested?"

"It should be. I passed by there just now and saw him being taken away by two people with my own eyes." After Uncle Zheng knew this exclusive secret, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. Like all rural men, he wanted to spread the news. I was afraid of getting into trouble, so I could only tell others secretly like this.

"This bastard should have been arrested a long time ago." Xia Jiusheng didn't have these scruples, and cursed in relief.

※※※

After the news of Xia Guoqing's arrest spread, many people came to Xia Jiusheng's house to inquire about the news.

A few days ago, because of conflicts with Xia Guoqing, many people estranged from his family intentionally or unintentionally, except for some families who were already related to Xia Jiusheng's family, or who were usually close.

Xia Jiusheng didn't care either. People in the countryside were like this, so he didn't need to take it to heart.However, since Xia Guoqing stepped down, the new village party secretary should be decided soon. He has no control over this matter. He just hopes that the new party secretary will have a closer relationship with his family and stop making plans with his family.

These people chatted in his yard for a while, and then gradually dispersed.

Xia Jiusheng went upstairs and told Dad about it, so that Dad could feel at ease.

He knows that his father has been worried about whether his house is really an illegal building, and whether it will really be demolished. He has lived here for more than 20 years, and all the memories of his family are here. If he is forced to leave, his father will definitely be sad. sad.

※※※

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Zezhong suddenly received a call from his uncle Nie Hongjun.

Nie Hongjun is Zhao's mother's eldest brother. He is 60 years old and has just retired from the professorship of the Provincial Agricultural University. Because he is not short of money, he did not accept the offer from the Agricultural University and completely left the podium.

After living a life of doing nothing at home, he felt uncomfortable again. He didn't know how to play chess, ball, fishing and other entertainment, and he didn't like playing cards and mahjong and other small gambling games, so he made troubles for juniors all day long, not a lesson This is scolding that. As his youngest nephew, Zhao Zezhong naturally suffered from his abuse.

Zhao Zezhong really wanted not to answer the call, but thinking of the consequences of not answering the call, he pressed the answer button honestly.

"Xiao Si, where are you? Why haven't you come to see Uncle for so long?" Nie Hongjun's angry voice came from the other side, which made Zhao Zezhong's ears buzzing. He quickly took the phone away, So as not to damage the eardrum.

"Uncle, I'm in Yucheng, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, not in the capital, so I can't see you!" Zhao Zezhong coaxed. "Grandpa's birthday will be in a few days, I will definitely go back to see you!"

"You're in Yucheng, that's just right. I'm in Yongcheng now, and I'll be there in an hour by car." Nie Hongjun laughed. "Tell me the address, I'll find you!"

Zhao Zezhong clenched his fists frantically, and fell into his uncle's trick again. He should first ask where uncle is?If he knew that his uncle was in Yongcheng, he would definitely say that he was in the capital.

"What's the matter?" Xia Jiusheng saw that Zhao Zezhong's state was not right, and asked silently with his mouth opening and closing.

"It's okay." Zhao Zezhong also opened his mouth to say two words silently, then shook his head again.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Xia Jiusheng didn't ask either.He just killed a chicken that was kept in the space, and at this moment he was busy moulting the chicken.

The chicken in the space has grown to over six catties. Not only is the meat firm, but the taste is also very delicious. Naturally, such a good thing should be shared with the family first, not to mention that Dad is recovering from an injury and needs to replenish his body. Xia Jiusheng decided that if he had time to clean up the chicken , He wants to chop one for his family to eat every day.

Of course, all the roosters were killed, and the hens were still laying eggs. This also reminded him that with such a large space, he should buy hundreds more and keep them.

Or raise some ducks and geese, anyway, there are no diseases in the space, so they can be kept alive.

"My uncle is coming to Yucheng." Zhao Zezhong frowned and said to Xia Jiusheng after making the phone call.

"Come on, come on, what are you afraid of?" Xia Jiusheng said strangely.

Not before.

At that time, my family was poor and couldn't afford wine and meat. I was very afraid of guests, especially relatives I didn't know very well.If it comes, my mother can only cook vegetables and fried a few poached eggs to entertain guests, which feels very rude and embarrassing.

Now you are not afraid of any distinguished guests, just catch a fish, pick up a few eggs, cut some vegetables, and you can make a table of dishes.

"Let uncle come to your house?" Zhao Zezhong said unexpectedly, he originally wanted to go back to Yucheng and entertain uncle at National University.

"I'm afraid my family is poor and I'll embarrass you!" Xia Jiusheng said angrily.

"No, no, I'm afraid you'll find it troublesome." Zhao Zezhong waved his hand quickly.

He was really a little apprehensive about this uncle with excess energy.

People who have stood on the podium all their lives are used to speaking. Now that there is no audience, the family will suffer. Zhao Zezhong feels that people like uncle should spend their lives with his students.

"It's okay, anyway, I want to entertain you, the national husband, so if you have an extra uncle, it's not a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks." Xia Jiusheng said indifferently.

"Why do I sound sour?" Zhao Zezhong smiled as he watched Xia Jiusheng skillfully cut up the chicken, rinsed it in water, put it in the pot and started cooking.

※※※

Since Zhao Zezhong's uncle is coming, it is definitely not enough to chop a chicken, Xia Jiusheng is thinking about what special dishes to entertain.

Braised loach and fried shredded eel are definitely indispensable. You must also get a portion of fried white strips. The eggs fried in space with tomatoes are also good. You can take a cucumber. Stir-fry a few rapeseed, cut the chicken into a plate, and make a chicken offal soup, and it's almost the same.

Now his family seldom buys pork to eat. They are used to eating their own products, and the products on the market are not to their liking.

As for the wine, they brought it last time. Zhao Zezhong and his uncle can drink baijiu. He and his mother don’t know how to drink, but they can taste the freshly brewed wine. Take out the space and pour a glass to drink.

At four o'clock, Zhao Zezhong's uncle arrived at the entrance of the village. Xia Jiusheng and Zhao Zezhong went to meet him at the entrance of the village.

Nie Hongjun drove an ordinary business car worth more than [-] yuan, and the car looked a bit old. It was not like the richest man's brother-in-law Xia Jiusheng imagined, and looked very low-key.

But when Nie Hongjun got off the car, Xia Jiusheng was taken aback.

Nie Hongjun in front of him was at least 1.9 meters tall, but he was tall and strong. Standing in front of him with such a burly body was like facing an iron tower. Xia Jiusheng felt like a child who was underage.

"You are Xiao Xia, right? You look so pretty." Seeing Xia Jiusheng, Nie Hongjun smiled brightly and familiarly, and when he turned to Zhao Zezhong, he immediately turned his face again: "Stinky boy, do you think I don't know you are in Jiangsu and Zhejiang? ? I’m here this time to stop you—”

"Why? Uncle, I didn't offend you?" Zhao Zezhong yelled unwillingly after being scolded inexplicably by his uncle.

"How dare you say that you didn't offend me?" Nie Hongjun's broad Chinese character face was still very scary when he stared at a person, at least Xia Jiusheng felt a little palpitating. "If you still can't remember the reason, I can give you a hint. May I ask Comrade Zhao Zezhong, what is your uncle and my greatest hobby?"

"The biggest hobby, besides teaching people, is eating. Uncle, you are a glutton." Zhao Zezhong rolled his eyes at uncle.

"The answer is correct." Nie Hongjun suddenly smiled. "You know that I'm a glutton, why doesn't Xiaoxia's family have such good food, but you don't bring me to taste it?"

"What kind of theory is this? Could it be that the Yangyang family owes you—" Zhao Zezhong was amused by his uncle's shameless theory. "Also—Which kid is it that told you the secret?"

"Don't worry about it?" Nie Hongjun waved his hand boldly, then turned his head to Xia Jiusheng, and his voice suddenly became very friendly: "Xiao Xia, you don't think I'm a bad guest, come here uninvited—"

"How come? Uncle, you're doing us a favor by coming to this rural place." Xia Jiusheng said narrowly.

He was a little confused about Zhao Zezhong's uncle's character. Could it be that a person of a certain age could do whatever he wanted without worrying about red tape?Or is it because of his family's different status that they have such confidence?

However, this straightforward character suits Xia Jiusheng's taste very well. He and Zhao Zezhong parked the car in the yard of the uncle's house, and then took Nie Hongjun to the house.

※※※

At the gate of the courtyard, Nie Hongjun looked at the Fujimoto rose that was still full of red flowers on the fence, turned around a few times in surprise, and asked, "Xiao Xia, what's the matter with your flower, it's so cold, How can it still bloom?"

"Aren't you a professor at the Agricultural University? I want to ask you this question!" Zhao Zezhong seized the opportunity and said.

"Stinky boy, is there anyone like you?" Nie Hongjun scolded.After entering the yard, I saw a few fruit trees in the yard. Although they did not bloom and bear fruit, they still looked green. I walked over in surprise and muttered: "This is obviously a common fruit tree. Why do they still have no leaves in winter? ?”

"I don't know either. If Uncle is interested, you can study it slowly." Xia Jiusheng smiled narrowly, and said to Zhao Zezhong: "You can accompany your Uncle for a walk, I will prepare dinner for you."

"Okay." Zhao Zezhong thought that Xia Jiusheng would surely prepare more delicious food when his uncle came, so he swallowed and shouted, "You go to work, uncle, I will accompany you."

When Xia Jiusheng left, Nie Hongjun's expression suddenly turned serious, and he asked, "Xiao Si, why are you staying in the countryside for a long time if you don't go back to the capital?"

Zhao Zezhong was startled, and asked strangely: "Is there any problem? Uncle, why do you suddenly care about these things?"

"I'm afraid you'll go the wrong way." Nie Hongjun is still as crazy and careless as before at this time, his serious face is full of wisdom and deepness: "You are a member of the Zhao family, so you have to take on the responsibility of the Zhao family. , there are some things you can play however you want, but there are some things you can't touch, do you understand?"

"You mean?" Zhao Zezhong understood what uncle meant. "Uncle, you think too much, Xia Jiusheng and I are just good friends."

"I know." Nie Hongjun glanced at Zhao Zezhong, "Of course I can see that you are innocent, but you have to understand that two people are together for a long time, and it is easy to fall in love with each other for a long time. You have a fiancée in the capital, and the Li family also It's not a small family, if your behavior shames the Li family, you should know the consequences."

Zhao Zezhong was shocked, he really hadn't thought about this question.

The outside world knows that he and Li Qiaowei are unmarried couples. If it is reported at this time that Zhao Zezhong is having an affair with someone else, no matter if it is a man or a woman, the Li family will lose face. Fight, I'm afraid he will never have a peaceful day in the future.

"Thank you Uncle, I understand." Zhao Zezhong thought about the cause and effect clearly, and secretly alerted himself. It seemed that he had thought the problem too simply before.

Seeing that his nephew understood what he meant, Nie Hongjun stopped talking about it and asked him to take him to visit the front and back yards of Xia Jiusheng's house.

Walking to the edge of the drainage ditch, he sat down on a big rock and saw fishes of all sizes swimming freely in the clear river, not afraid of them at all, and saw the winter Under the setting sun, the evergreen camphor trees cast shadows by the river.

Suddenly a strong voice sounded from the bottom of my heart: Isn't this place the ideal living place I have been looking for?There are mountains, water, fish and trees, and the most important thing is vitality.

He knows that he likes this place because there is vitality that cannot be found in other places, yes, it is vitality.

This discovery made him excited, and he walked around again, and found that this place was really different from other places. It was winter outside, and everything fell into depression. Only this yard seemed to have forgotten the change of seasons.

Walking into the shed, the scenery inside made him unable to move.

From the withered and silent city and countryside to a place full of spring, the strong sense of contrast makes people feel a kind of indescribable surprise and excitement.

Nie Hongjun stepped forward to pick a cucumber, without even washing it, just pinched off the head and tail, bit it down and chewed vigorously.

It was different from the kind of greenhouse cucumbers in the supermarket that tasted like chewy wax. It was crisp and sweet, which he had never experienced before. Nie Hongjun took a big bite, and quickly swallowed a cucumber.

"Are all the food in Xiaoxia's family so delicious?" Nie Hongjun asked with a satisfied sigh, looking at Zhao Zezhong expectantly.

"This is the most common, and many are much more delicious than this." Zhao Zezhong said proudly, as if showing off his own products to others.

"That really made me look forward to it." Nie Hongjun said yearningly.

Before coming to Yucheng, he went to the seaside of Yongcheng to eat seafood, and before that, he went to Guangzhou to drink good soup. Anyway, in the few months after he retired, he ran around, wherever the food is famous, he went there.

To be honest, the food in the country is becoming more and more homogeneous. Every restaurant wants to attract as many customers as possible, so it cooks dishes that are famous for being spicy, and makes them slightly spicy, so that the original characteristics of the dishes disappear. The original sweet dishes are replaced with less sugar, so what is called a healthy diet, so it lacks characteristics, thousands of dishes taste the same, and there is no meaning at all.

"It's hard for anyone to forget the dishes cooked by Xia Jiusheng." Zhao Zezhong said proudly. "I haven't eaten food that is better than his family's. Even the special chef of the National University of China does not have this ability."

"Oh." Nie Hongjun listened to Zhao Zezhong's solemn words, and his curiosity was infinitely aroused. "It seems that this young man has some secrets."

"Of course." Zhao Zezhong said.

There is definitely a secret in Xia Jiusheng, which he has known for a long time.It's just that he didn't dare to reveal the secret, fearing that doing so would harm Xia Jiusheng.
