Back to 90s

It was only after ten o'clock that day, and Zhu Ada closed the stall. He is a very decisive person. When he didn't even know how to sell meat, he dared to take a few knives and learn how to butcher pigs from an old butcher in the village. , and then went to the town to go to school single-handedly. Hearing Zhu Yunxuan's words this time, he thought about it for a while and felt that this was a good way!

He didn't think of this before. On the one hand, because there are not many people who buy meat nowadays, he is also excluded. He feels that this job is very tiring, not to mention earning, but even if it is ordinary, it is better than the elder son who only does a little. Little worker, okay?Now the eldest son’s family lives entirely on his daughter-in-law’s wages, and it’s often difficult to eat meat once. He wants to help but Wang Feng’er stops her...

Because the stalls were collected early, there were only pork lungs, a piece of pork front leg meat, and some bones left.

A few years later, the price of this kind of big bone will soar, but at this moment, although the price of pork ribs is expensive, the price of big bone is very low, and almost no one buys it. In the past, Zhua mostly gave it away when acquaintances came to buy meat , Some people don't know how to ask for it, because they think it's a waste of firewood to cook.

However, after Zhu Yunxuan came to help, he would deliberately leave the bones. Every time the stall was closed, he asked Zhu Ada to chop up the bones with a big knife, and gave them to the uncle's family when he returned. You can't tell if you order bones, but stewing the bones to make soup is fresh and nutritious.

The price of pork lungs is also cheap. People in this area don’t eat pork lungs. If you’re lucky, you can sell them for two or three cents. If you’re unlucky, you can just throw them away, or give them to acquaintances to take home for dogs. Eat, but Zhu Yunxuan, who once ate a small plate of fried pork lung for 20 yuan in a big restaurant 68 years later, felt it was a pity.

Grandpa took the pork foreleg meat for grandma to cook, and Zhu Yunxuan took a big bag of bones and the pork lungs home. My aunt is on day shift today, from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, so she has no time to make lunch , he was naturally willing to let Jiang Yuexiu cook the bone soup!

"What is this?" Because of Zhu Yunxuan's change of attitude, these days he didn't go to play with his friends but stayed at home abnormally, Zhu Qiuyue clung to him, seeing the pig's lung in his hand, his face was full curious.

"This is a toy!" Zhu Yunxuan smiled, and connected the lung tube of the pig's lung to the faucet. As soon as the tap was turned on, all the water poured into the pig's lung, and the whole pig's lung swelled suddenly. The small pipe was completely filled with water, and Zhu Yunxuan couldn't lift it for a while.

When he turned off the faucet and poured out the dirty water mixed with white foam from the pig's lungs, Zhu Qiuyue was already eager to try it!

There are dirty things in the pig lungs. People in Wende Town rarely eat pig lungs. If they really want to eat them, they will wash them with water and then cut them along the lung tubes. Cut the larger tubes in the pig lungs with scissors. After opening, boil it in white water, cut it, dip it in soy sauce and eat it.

Zhu Yunxuan knew how to deal with pig lungs. After all, his grandfather and uncle both sold meat in his previous life, and he had eaten it many times. However, the method of boiling it in plain water could not get rid of the peculiar smell of pig lungs. On the contrary, he had eaten them before. Stir-fried lung slices... My mouth is watering just thinking about it!

Zhu Qiuyue is a very serious person. Zhu Yunxuan asked her to wash the pig lungs, and she washed them clean. She even tried her best to find small holes when cutting the pig lungs with scissors, and almost cut the pig lungs. It became a pile of minced meat.

Jiang Yuexiu boiled the big bones and pig's lungs in water, took out the foam and washed them, then put the big bones into a pressure cooker to make bone soup, and cooked the pig's lungs.

"Mom, can you put the big bone and pork lung together in the pressure cooker?" Zhu Yunxuan asked.

"Okay." Jiang Yuexiu agreed. She doesn't like to eat pork lungs, and she doesn't like bone soup. Since it's what her son wants to eat, it doesn't matter if she listens to him. Maybe, pigs cooked with big bones Lungs would be delicious too?

Zhu Yunxuan peeled two heads of garlic that he hung on the balcony. It's summer now. In the field in front of his house, besides eggplants, cowpeas, and water spinach, he also planted a few peppers, and he went to pick some.

People in Jiangnan also eat spicy food, but they don't eat it too spicy. Of course, the big peppers Zhu Yunxuan grows at home are not too spicy, but they are just right for them.

"Mom, cut the pork lungs into small pieces and fry them for me like last time, okay?" Zhu Yunxuan went back with the chili peppers, and immediately entangled Jiang Yuexiu.

For Zhu Yunxuan's small request, Jiang Yuexiu satisfied it unconditionally, so naturally she quickly agreed at this time, anyway, it was a waste of oil and salt at most.

Finally, a large bowl of fried pork lungs was unexpectedly delicious. Even Jiang Yuexiu, who has never liked to eat offal, ate several mouthfuls. After Zhu Yunxuan finished eating, he took a small bowl and made a bowl for the uncle next door. Home.

Sure enough, the eldest aunt was not at home, so the only thing Zhu Qiuyue could eat was pickled vegetable soup and stewed eggplant. Of course, when the uncle was free, he might even scramble eggs.

Zhu Qiuyue is not picky about food. Compared to Zhu Yunxuan who didn't eat this or that when she was a child, Zhu Qiuyue eats almost everything. Taking a small bowl of pork lung naturally made her very satisfied, and she even ate an extra bowl meal.

However, Zhu Qiuyue ate alone, and moved a stool to serve food by the stove by herself, but her uncle was not there.

"Qiuyue, where's uncle?" Zhu Yunxuan still insisted on refusing to call her elder sister Zhu Qiuyue. Compared with the elder sister who lent money to comfort her in her previous life, Zhu Yunxuan was really a little yellow-haired little girl. girl!

"Dad was called away by grandpa, and he had already eaten it before." Zhu Qiuyue answered Zhu Yunxuan's question, and when she knew that what she was eating was something she had washed before, she became more interested.

"Qiuyue, do you want to go to town to study?"

"why would

go to town?My mother said that in the second half of the year, I will go to the countryside to study in a senior class. "Zhu Qiuyue was a little puzzled, but also yearning.

"You can learn to speak Mandarin in the town. If you want to study in the upper class, you can go to the town to study. We will go to school together in the future!" Although the people in the town look down on the country people at this time, the educational conditions are indeed much better. Even in primary and junior high schools, sometimes the teachers can't speak Mandarin, let alone kindergarten!In her previous life, Zhu Qiuyue went to the town to go to elementary school with him after attending kindergarten for a year in the countryside. As a result, she couldn't speak Mandarin, so she would inevitably be bullied.

"I also want to go to a kindergarten in the town, where there are slides!" Zhu Qiuyue's eyes are full of envy. Outside the kindergarten in the town, there are slides, seesaws, and many toys. The kindergarten in the countryside is with the elementary school, and there is only a muddy block at the entrance. The muddy ground is full of dust on sunny days, so she is naturally yearning for the kindergarten in the town.

In fact, Zhu Yunxuan hopes that Zhu Qiuyue can go to elementary school directly like himself, but now the elementary school in the town only accepts students who have attended kindergarten for the convenience of management. will write.

"I'll go tell grandpa!" Zhu Yunxuan patted Zhu Qiuyue's shoulder in a grand manner.

In the afternoon, Zhu Yunxuan's uncle Zhu Chengcai and his grandfather moved a stool together, took two whetstones and started sharpening the knife in the shade under the eaves. Zhu Yunxuan took this opportunity to let Zhu Qiuyue go About going to kindergarten in the town, he also said that he would take Zhu Qiuyue to the town for breakfast tomorrow. He hoped that Zhu Qiuyue, who had never been out of the house, could see the world.

Zhu Ada is not as patriarchal as Wang Fenger. He still likes his granddaughter very much. In fact, it is nothing to go to the kindergarten in the town, but the price is a bit expensive. Because of the school meals, it costs seven to eight hundred a semester.

He could afford the money, but if he gave it to his elder son, he would have to give it to his second son, so he couldn't bear it, so he looked at the elder son next to him.

Zhu Chenggong loves Zhu Qiuyue very much. After all, this is his only daughter, and he also hopes that his child can study well because he has no education, no skills, and can't even find a good job. Now the family's money is only enough to pay half a year's tuition, so in half a year, he can always earn this money, right?

After getting the letter, Zhu Yunxuan couldn't help laughing, Zhu Chenggong stretched out his hand and patted his head: "This mud monkey!"

"Uncle, I belong to the rabbit!" Zhu Yunxuan smiled at Zhu Chenggong. His grandpa is a good man, so his uncle and his father are also good, but his grandma has a strange way of thinking, so only his aunt can walk with her Son.

Zhu Chenggong watched Zhu Yunxuan walk away with a smile on his face. He loves Zhu Qiuyue, but he also loves this nephew who has become much better recently. If he gets old in the future, his daughter will take care of him, but if he dies Well, I guess this nephew will have to do the work of moving the corpse.

He reported his only child to Zhu Qiuyue, and he still pays the single child fee every month. There is only such a daughter in this life, so if he bites his teeth and lets her go to the town to study, she will be promising in the future.

Zhu Yunxuan had already saved more than ten yuan. In the afternoon, he counted it carefully, and then asked his father to exchange it for a ten-yuan RMB.

In the later generations, ten yuan can't do much. At this time, many people work hard for a day but only earn ten yuan.

It was originally a very harmonious day, but when Zhu Yunxuan asked his cousin to tell her brother to buy her a doll tomorrow, Zhu Yunxuan's aunt Feng Xian came back.

There are three shifts in a four-day cycle. The day shift is from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, the night shift is from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm, and the late night shift is from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] am. I can only go home and rest for eight hours, but women in the country have to do laundry and cooking, and also take care of the work in the field, which is very hard.

Zhu Yunxuan remembered that Jiang Yuexiu also went to work in the textile factory after no one asked his mother to make clothes. Unfortunately, even at that time, he didn't care about his mother's hard work... But in this life, he will never let Jiang Yuexiu find her like this again. Hard work!

"You came up with it, didn't you? To take advantage of the old man!" Wang Feng'er suddenly came out of the house. She was married early, and she was only 17 years old when she gave birth to her eldest son. She was not yet 50 years old at this time.

"What did I take advantage of?" Feng Xian was also in a bad temper, and immediately became angry at this moment.

"Hmph! Didn't you let Chenggong follow the old man to sell meat? How much does one person earn by selling a pig? Now two people go, and you have to share a cent! You are sucking our blood!"

"Going to sell meat?" Feng Xian was very surprised. Few people had a mobile phone at this idea, and they didn't even have a phone at home. She didn't know about it yet!

"Grandma, I told grandpa to ask uncle to sell meat!" Zhu Yunxuan immediately stood up. His grandma disliked everyone and had a bad relationship with his two sons, and she only treated him a little better.

Wang Feng'er muttered a few more words, Zhu Yunxuan just thought she was not going to quarrel, but she didn't expect her to jump up again: "Didn't you say that you don't have a second child if you don't have money? Isn't it rich now? Shouldn't it be time to have a second child?" Second child?"

Both Feng Xian and Zhu Chenggong have rural household registrations, and they can have another child after giving birth to a daughter in their first child, but Feng Xian has always been unwilling, which is one of the reasons why Wang Fenger doesn't like her.

Feng Xian didn't speak, and went into the house on her own. It's not that she hasn't had sex with Wang Feng'er before. Wang Feng'er said that when she stole something, she used to fight with him by pulling her hair. But after a long time, she found that her husband still believed in her. No one else helped Wang Feng'er, so she learned to ignore each other.

Zhu Yunxuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. His grandma knew that she was as illiterate and ignorant as most rural women, but she had a weird temper and was suspicious. Grandma is better, she is the master who walks around just to speak ill of her son, wife and granddaughter!At least his grandma wouldn't tell the world what happened at home, would she?

The next day, Zhu Yunxuan woke up very early. When he got up, the room next door was brightly lit. He opened the side door and went out, only to find out that his uncle and grandpa had just returned from killing a pig.

His grandfather was in a good mood and kept saying that being young is good. It turned out that his uncle dragged a pig out by grabbing the pig's ears, saving him a lot of energy.

Zhu Yunxuan secretly clicked his tongue. He had seen the scene of killing a pig. Usually, two people moved a pig one after the other. His uncle... probably was afraid that grandma would say that he was sucking blood from grandpa. ?

It was the first time for Zhu Chenggong to sell meat in the town. He didn't have his own stall, so he was squeezed together with Zhu Ada. Fortunately, the stalls at this time were very big, and there were two big men crowded inside. A pig is also acceptable, but Zhu Yunxuan becomes dispensable.

"Grandpa, I won't come to help in the future. I want to study hard and get into college!" At this time, college students in the countryside are still very rare. Even if Zhu Yunxuan was everywhere when he was going to college, there were not many in the countryside. At that time, Zhu Chengcai specially organized a banquet!

"Okay, my Xuanxuan is going to go to college in the future!" Zhu A laughed and said, and gave Zhu Yunxuan five yuan, and asked him to take Zhu Qiuyue to have breakfast.

More than ten years later, many people don't even take KFC seriously, but for Zhu Qiuyue at this time, coming to the town to have a breakfast is a luxury. Hearing this, she smiled and narrowed her eyes , but she didn't know that there was something that would make her happier next time.
