Good mountains, good water, good people

There are a lot of people eating at noon today, so they still cook lunch at the farm at noon.

Yesterday, the pig was slaughtered and the meat was kept. The farm also raised chickens, and two chickens were killed.There are all kinds of vegetables here in the greenhouse, and I can pick whatever I want to eat.I finished eating the zongzi made yesterday, and cooked two big pots of zongzi this morning. Besides sending them to the store to sell, I also kept a lot at home for everyone to eat.

"Shhhh-"

There was a swishing sound as the spatula collided.

Today, Mama Gu is still in charge. At everyone's request, I made a big pot of braised pork, and a big pot of pork leg meat. I didn't want to sell two pig ears yesterday, so I put them in the pot for stewing together today. , There are also dried beans, edamame and eggs in it, marinated together, and two large plates are taken out.

When marinating, it is stewed separately. The meat meat is marinated first, and then the vegetarian meat is stewed, so that the meat meat will not have a taint, and the vegetarian meat will be stewed later, and the stewed taste is also delicious.

Before noon, the smell of stew drifted with the wind to the entire farm in the back mountain. The workers working in the distance smelled this overbearing scent, which made them lose their motivation to work. , I just think about eating today's lunch.

Today, many old people and children came to the farm, as well as a dozen women who helped wash and chop vegetables.

The bag of crabs and shrimps that Gu Changning brought back was handed over to these aunts to help wash and handle them, and they just waited to eat them.

Fortunately, there are a lot of people eating today, and there are quite a few people who come to help with the cooking.

"Oh, the weather is really too hot." When cooking in summer, Mama Gu would hang a towel around her neck, wipe off sweat while cooking, and stir fry a few times with the shovel in her hand. Turn off the fire, and use a big spoon to scoop out the vegetables and give them to others, "Take it to the table, there is only one green vegetable left and it will be fried, and you can call everyone to eat."

"Hey, I'm going to call right now." Aunt Yang took the food and put it on the table, and went over there to call everyone to eat.

As soon as they heard the notice that they could eat, a group of people ran towards the dining table.

Today is the holiday, not only the workers on the farm have a half-day off, but the employees of the two shops in the town also have a half-day off. The two shops closed at 11:30 in the morning, and everyone has returned.

Village head Gu and Secretary Yang went together to deliver zongzi to the old people in the village. When they came back, they heard that they could eat.Village Chief Gu said with a smile: "It's just a coincidence that we came back, not too early or too late."

"That's right." Secretary Yang said with a smile.

Secretary Yang and the others were also invited to the farm for dinner today, as well as the family members of some employees. Everyone brought their families with them, many of them brought their children to eat, and Village Chief Gu They just invited several old people from the clan over for dinner.

There were five big tables on their side for lunch, Master Gao and Senior Brother Qin sat at one table, his staff and family members sat at three tables, and the remaining table was for their own family members and their family members. Secretary Yang and the others sat at a table with several old people invited from the village.

"Wow, there are so many dishes today, and there are big crabs!"

When seeing such a large table of dishes, everyone exclaimed.

That's right, today's dishes are very special. In addition to the rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival, there are also large plates of stewed meat, braised pork, large plates of fried chicken, garlic stewed fish pot, fish-flavored eggplant, bacon and sauerkraut. There are large plates of flower crabs and prawns on the table, as well as fried Pipi shrimp, fried peppers with sliced ​​meat...

The dishes they ate were not bad in the past, but compared to today's table of dishes, many people's eyes widened. This dish... really shouldn't be too rich!

"Everyone find a seat by yourself, sit down and eat." Village Chief Gu came over and beckoned everyone to sit down and eat.When Gu Changning brings everyone here, arrange for everyone to be seated.

Fortunately, the group of boys who were doing summer jobs went back, otherwise they would have had to set up two tables to sit.

"Grandma, Aunt Yang, you also put it here for a while and then clean it up. Let's eat there first." Gu Changning didn't forget his aunt's side, so he came to invite his aunt and a group of women who helped cook to eat , took people to the tables of the employees, and sat wherever there was a seat.

Several tables were full of people, and everyone was still crowded to accommodate so many people.

After all the people were arranged to be seated, Gu Changning went to the seat reserved for him and sat down.

Everyone was satisfied with the meal at noon, and there was enough food for everyone on a large table.

They are near the river here, and everyone eats more fish in the river, but they eat less fish and shrimp in the sea, and the price of seafood is also more expensive, not everyone is willing to spend this money to buy, so today's People who had a lot of meals ate crabs and prawns, and the fried prawns with salt and pepper were very popular among children.

After lunch, there were still fresh peaches and pears. Recently, the watermelons in the field began to ripen. Gu Changning even brought someone back to find some big watermelons.

They planted several varieties of watermelon, besides the most popular beauty melons and unicorn melons, there are also the oldest varieties of watermelons. A watermelon weighs more than ten to twenty catties, and one watermelon is enough We divided.

The remaining watermelons Gu Changning had someone help carry them to the trunk of the car, as well as several large boxes of peaches, pears, and zongzi.

After lunch, Gu Changning was going to go to the market with Qin You. Before leaving, he said hello to his family. He said that he went to the market to give gifts to a few friends. It is also very common to give gifts to friends during the holidays. things.

"Mom, Dad, I'm leaving."

"Oh, let's go, drive slowly." Seeing that her son was going out, Gu's mother knew that Master Qin's family lived in the city, and told her son to deliver something to Master Qin's family.

"I'm ready." Gu Changning replied.

After saying hello to his family, Gu Changning opened the door on the driver's side, sat in the driver's seat, waited for the people on the other side to also sit down, and drove out.

Seeing the car slowly driving away, Gu's mother thought of the two people who were sitting together eating, chatting and laughing just now, and a trace of doubt flashed in her heart.Probably because she thought too much, Gu's mother felt that her idea was a little funny, she shook her head and stopped thinking about it, and turned her head to pack things with other women.

When they arrived in the city, it was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon. After the two of them went to deliver things to Boss Xiao, Gu Changning called Jian Jian again, and went to Jian's house to give a boxing gift, and stopped by Jian's house. people.

After it was over, the two of them also stopped by the city's No. [-] Middle School to see the head teacher who had taken them to the third year of high school. Because the head teacher of both of them was the same teacher, they met the same person.

The teacher who took them before is now in his 50s and is about to retire. It is strange to see the two of them coming together.When Qin You explained what he was doing in the village where the young man lived, the teacher just said "Oh" and said that the two of them are destined to meet each other.

Gu Changning glanced at the man who was talking to the teacher with a smile, and thought that the two of them were not destined to meet each other in that small village.

The things they brought were a bit heavy, so they asked the security guard at the door for help, and together they moved two large baskets of watermelons, peaches and pears to the teachers' offices upstairs.The school on the high school side wasn't on holiday yet, so the two of them didn't stay long after delivering the things, so they bid farewell to the teacher.

After delivering a circle of things, the two drove back to San Xiao's side, and came to the old man's side for dinner.

Today is the holiday, Grandpa Qin was very happy to see his grandson coming over, and even ate the big meat zongzi brought by his grandson.As soon as the old man saw the zongzi, he didn't even eat the rice, so he wanted to eat the zongzi. He took a bite, the glutinous rice had a fragrance of zongzi leaves, and the most important thing was the meat inside, "Well, this zongzi is delicious, and the meat is delicious. It's delicious too!"

"Grandpa, don't eat too many zongzi, be careful that you won't be able to eat if you eat too much."

Qin You was very helpless when he saw his grandfather wrapped a rice dumpling and refused to let it go. He put the remaining rice dumplings in the refrigerator, "Grandpa rice dumplings, I put them in the refrigerator for you, and put two It’s in the fresh-keeping layer, and the rest is in the freezer layer, you eat two of the fresh-keeping layer first. Whenever you want to eat, let Sister Liu make it for you, if you don’t know how to do these things, don’t do it yourself.”

"Who said I can't do it anymore, didn't I just steam a zongzi." Grandpa Qin was a little unconvinced by this.

Qin You looked at his grandfather without saying a word, but the meaning in that look was that you are someone who can't even make a rice dumpling.

"..." Grandpa Qin hummed in his heart, and concentrated on biting his big meaty rice dumplings.

Gu Changning was gnawing on a peach, and he ate two of today's zongzi, and he ate so much at noon, he wasn't hungry yet.

Today's holiday, the nanny also went home to celebrate the holiday, and she didn't cook for the old man until Qin You came over, so today they had dinner a little later, around seven o'clock.

The meat was brought by them. In addition to fresh pork, fish and vegetables, they also brought two boxes of cooked meat, one box of braised pork and one box of stewed pork. Put it in a basin and eat it out.In addition, Qin You also fried a vegetable and cooked a pot of soup. He didn't bother to cook rice because of rice dumplings today.

"Grandpa and Ah Ning are here for dinner."

"Hey, here we come."

The three grandparents sat down around the table. Grandpa Qin also opened a bottle of wine, poured a small glass for each of the two grandsons, and poured a small glass for himself.

The three grandparents clinked glasses and drank a small glass of wine.

Before the meal, Grandpa Qin ate a big meat dumpling. After the meal, there was not much food left before he stopped his chopsticks and watched his two grandchildren eat.

Qin You and Gu Changning ate the rest of the dishes together. After the meal, the two of them went to clear the table together, and drank tea with the old man for a while.In the evening, the two stayed with the old man. After the old man took a bath and went to sleep, the two took turns to take a bath, and then went back to sleep in the house.
