60s white-eyed wolf

"Miao Er, good boy, brother will buy you candy some other day."

Cao Fugui smiled and praised the clever Miaoer, stretched out his hand and scratched Baofeng's snub nose, alas, stupid is a little stupid, but fortunately this looks a little bit more like his mother, and he will not I can't find my wife.

He lowered his head and said in a bluff, "If you make any more noise and let other people hear it, you will all be dragged into the team to see what else you can eat?"

Bao Feng was so frightened that his eyes widened, he shrank his head, and shook his head desperately. He pulled off his sister's little hand covering her mouth, and whispered, "I'm not noisy, I'm not noisy!"

He licked his lips, swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, turned his head to look at his mother, and begged repeatedly: "Mother, mother! Let's eat braised radish! My stomach is full of sweet potato soup, and I feel heartburn and uncomfortable. "

Ever since Wang Liuzhi saw such two big baskets of vegetables, her eyes had been straightened for a long time. She woke up when she heard her son begging for food, and looked at her mother-in-law in panic and begging.Baofeng is a young child, he eats thin sweet potato soup and porridge all day long, his face turns yellow, and seeing him lose weight day by day, the mother sees it, and it hurts in his heart!

"What are you looking at me for? This is the food your nephew managed to get." Mrs. Zhang looked at her dissatisfied, turned her head and asked excitedly and worriedly, "Fugui, where did you get all these vegetables? Nothing wrong?"

"It's nothing serious. My second uncle and I came down from the mountain to avoid people." Cao Fugui comforted Grandma with a smile.

People in the team are busy working together during the day, that is, they can do their own business in the early morning and when it is just dark, get some manure and firewood, or get some wild fruits and wild vegetables to eat at home, which is not considered a violation of public rules. The people in the team also tacitly covered up their smiles when they saw it. It was too late for each of them to be busy, and no one who didn't know what to do wanted to ask what happened.

It is said that there are people who have opened up wasteland in the mountains to grow things, but no one has seen it.Filling the stomach is the most important thing these days. In the small village in the corner of the mountain, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The red line of right and wrong is not dare to step on it. Raise two or three more chickens. Under the nose, they all open their eyes and close their eyes, and no one will eat from the mouths of the masses.

In the team, there are also people like Sun Guangzong who are so poor that they only stare at other people's bowls desperately, wishing to take everything from other people's homes to their own nests. Whoever's things can be missed, don't even look at anyone's things.

Grandfather Cao Qiushou came over, reached out to pat the old woman's hand, picked up a radish for a closer look, broke it with his hand, squinted his eyes to taste it, and nodded: "It's fresh." He looked at the eldest grandson and sighed. , Said: "Fugui, I know that Nong is not a person who follows the rules. You must keep your sense of place and don't do anything wrong with officials."

He has always been taciturn and doesn't care much about his children and grandchildren. With his shrewd old woman watching over the family, he just works hard in the field, sweating and supporting his wife and children.Marrying his own beautiful, gentle, literate and basic old woman, he has been blessed by his ancestors in this life, burned high incense, and now there are many children and grandchildren, what is he not satisfied with?It is nothing more than the safety of the children and grandchildren, and the family is going smoothly.

Fugui is a bit dry, but his heart is kind.Cao Qiushou, who survived the old society and worked hard, is not afraid of hard times, but the most fearful thing is that children are too smart and go astray, and they hurt themselves.

"Don't worry, Alagen was born as a poor farmer. How could I do something illegal? This is my brother's collection. The people in the mountains opened up wasteland in the forest and planted it on their own land. It's not counted. What."

Isn't it a private plot?He took the two acres of private land in the refining house with him!

Grandpa gently stroked the vegetables with a pair of rough hands, then turned to look at the old woman.

"Qingxian, what are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and move them into the wing room. Wealth and honor have worked so hard to buy them back. Willow branches, take a few radishes and cabbage and cook them in a pot. Fill your stomach first, big and small, and kill your hunger."

Mrs. Zhang took a deep look at her eldest grandson, stopped asking any more questions, and shouted in a low voice, telling her son and daughter-in-law to clean up quickly, saying that the most important thing for ordinary people is their stomachs, and there is nowhere to buy two pieces of copper tin. Carrots, but she believes that her wealth knows the importance, and she knows what can and cannot be done.Even if there is any crime, her old woman has lived enough, so she will fight it out!

"Hey!" Wang Liuzhi responded with joy, hurriedly took out five or six long and white radishes from the basket, and wanted to take cabbage again, where can I hold them?

Mrs. Zhang pinched her a glance, and said, "Why are you in such a panic? Go get a basket to pack it, you're not a thief!"

Wang Liuzhi responded with a smile, and hurried back to the kitchen to get the big bamboo basket. She didn't dare to say a word in her heart, who knew if her eldest nephew had stolen these vegetables from other people's fields.

Yingzi panicked and helped his mother to light the stove. Baofeng and Miaoer each brought two big radishes, and squatted in the stove, refusing to leave.The firewood crackled softly in the stove, and the orange-red fire in the stove licked the clay pots. The flames danced brightly and livelyly, making the faces of several children flushed, and their eyes were fixed on the pots, shining brightly. It's all longing and joy.

Wang Liuzhi gently wiped her eyes that were moist at some point, and gritted her teeth. Even if she knew her nephew did such a sneaky thing for the sake of the family's livelihood, she couldn't say it even if she knew it well!

Others were busy in the wing room and under the stove. Grandma took Fugui back to the house, found a box from under the bed, and opened it carefully. Inside was an old indigo blue cloth bag, which was unfolded and wrapped tightly. A handkerchief cloth bag, a pile of odd corner bills were neatly folded and placed in the center.

Mrs. Zhang divided the banknotes into two stacks, put away half, counted and counted carefully, and solemnly handed the other half to his grandson, saying: "Wealth, it is a good thing that you can buy food. In this year and day It’s not easy, don’t owe money to others.”

Cao Fugui took it with a smile, and said, "Grandma, I handle things in a decent way, and you can put your heart at ease, too flat."

"Nong brought a lot of vegetables, enough food for the whole family this winter, rich and noble, is there any way to buy some food? If it's troublesome, please don't make it difficult, grandma just wants to tell you." Grandma asked carefully, hurriedly He added that he was afraid that his grandson would make trouble.

"It's not difficult at all. Your grandson and I have very rough roads. Grandma, I also want to get some grain to go home. The problem is that they secretly planted it in the wasteland in the mountains. To exchange wheat seeds, money is not enough."

Cao Fugui grinned sadly. He didn't want to work, he was too lazy to farm, and he didn't want to starve. There is such a good private field in Lianluli, and if he doesn't plant it full of grain, he will be struck by lightning!

"Grandma, do you think you can ask the third grandpa to find a way to ask someone to get some wheat seeds? At worst, when the wheat harvest is harvested next year, it will be double deducted from my ration."

The third uncle Cao Weiyan is the party secretary in the brigade. He usually "offices" in the brigade. Steel, recite the scriptures for an hour or two without a break.When Cao Fugui saw his shadow, he ran away at the wind. If he had no choice, he would not want to listen to the chanting of "Grandpa Tang Monk".

"Understood, I'll ask your grandpa to check and see if there is any way to buy some back." Grandma nodded in response, knowing that the grandson saw his third grandpa like a mouse seeing a cat, hiding as much as he can.

"Grandma, I want to learn how to farm." After a few gossips, Cao Fugui told Grandma about his plan after thinking about it.

The land of Lianlu can't be idle, and he doesn't have the jade to urge the crops "extremely fast" every day, so he can only use the experience of his ancestors to speed up the growth of crops at a "medium speed". The trick is naturally to learn a lesson.Such a large piece of meatloaf fell from the sky, and you have to chew it a few times after opening your mouth!

"Learn from your second uncle. He is a bit stupid. He is an expert in farming, and few veterans in the Ala team can beat him."

Grandma touched her grandson's immature cheek in relief, and made a bold decision. As for the meaning of the second child... When did he have his own meaning?

That night, Second Aunt Wang Liuzhi prepared radish and cabbage with all her body. Grandma also unlocked the cupboard, took out the soy sauce hidden inside, and a small piece of suet brought by her son-in-law a few days ago. A pot of fragrant braised radish, served with lard residue and cabbage soup, this taste is so fresh...the eyebrows are about to fall off.

It's rare for the family to have a good meal around the table these days, even if it's just cabbage and radish. They all seemed to stretch out, revealing a smile.

Bao Feng was holding his own bowl, almost buried his head in it, and fiddled with his chopsticks, eating with a sigh.

There was a gentle smile on Yingzi's face, watching her younger brother eat up all the radishes in the bowl, staring at the oil residue in her bowl, stretching out his chopsticks to pick up two pieces of oil residue that were too small to be found, Put it in his bowl.Bao Feng laughed until his eyes narrowed, and said in a low voice, "Eldest Sister is the best."

Cao Fugui glanced at him, picked up a piece of oil residue left in his bowl, and handed it over. Under Bao Feng's surprised gaze, the chopsticks turned suddenly, and the oil residue fell into the little sister Miaoer. inside the bowl.

"Good, big brother likes good sister..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Miaoer's chopsticks flashed like lightning, and the oil residue disappeared in her small mouth in an instant, leaving no chance for the second brother Baofeng to fight.Bao Feng stared at her blankly, his lips began to tremble.His father glared at him and said, "Eat well!" He immediately suppressed his tears of grievance.

The radish is laxative, the cabbage has smooth intestines, not to mention some moist lard residue is added.

This night, everyone in the Cao family ate to their heart's content, the only embarrassing thing was the constant muffled noise, which was a little too smooth.

Although radishes and cabbage are good things, it's a pity that they can't be stored for a long time. Except for keeping some in the side room to eat fresh, the women in the family tried their best to deal with the rest.Pickled radish and dried radish are easy to make. This is a common side dish in the Jiangnan countryside. Women are good at it, but cabbage is a bit difficult to get. It is not popular to dig underground kilns for winter storage in the south, and the temperature and weather are not suitable.

Fortunately, grandma had a way. She asked the Sichuan grandma next door for the recipe for kimchi, and pickled a jar of cabbage kimchi with a seven-stone jar for pickling pickles.

The next day, Cao Fugui, who has always been sleepy, woke up early and followed his second uncle sleepily to work in the field. Second aunt Wang Liuzhi was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out of her sockets.

Looking at the sky wonderingly, the wind is clear and the clouds are calm, and there is no red rain?
