Things about village flowers

We bought a lot of seafood such as fish, shrimp and crabs at the market. My aunts are all in Heilongjiang, Northeast China, and they can't eat fresh seafood at ordinary times. They specially bought five kang cakes, which are not available in Northeast China. My eldest aunt specially asked for what she wanted to eat. She used to like it in her hometown. Fortunately, I came by bike, otherwise I couldn't carry it at all. There were too many things to buy. Don't forget that there were nearly 20 people eating at once, which was simply the amount of food in a small canteen.

I pushed the bicycle with great effort, and my mother was holding some things. The family had never bought so many things at once. Fortunately, there were not many vegetables and other things from my hometown this time, which saved a lot of trouble. Otherwise, it would be too much.

As soon as I entered the house, the three aunts' families swarmed up and helped to take all the things in an instant. I straddled the back seat of the bicycle with a sense of relief and lit a cigarette and smoked it. This was the first cigarette today. I don't smoke much usually. I usually smoke after doing heavy work or when I am bored.

When I got home, it was just past six o'clock, and my father had been busy in the kitchen for a long time. It was indeed early enough to get home today. It was also true that I hadn't seen his sisters for a long time. I could imagine the scene when he saw his sisters. It must be very touching. Unfortunately, I was not there. My father is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He is serious, but he is like a ball of fire to people's hearts, making people feel deep love and true feelings, which is ten thousand times better than those smiling tigers.

My mother then worked with several aunts and father to cook. None of the three uncles could cook, so they could only help, washing and picking vegetables. I talked and played with my cousins. They soon couldn't stay at home and wanted to go out for a walk. I took them around the county party committee compound. Unexpectedly, they were most interested in the county party committee's small western-style building or the rockery garden, bamboo forest, and fish pond, but the semi-abandoned county party committee, that is, the vegetable field northwest of the county party committee compound. I joked with them that this was the Great Northern Wilderness of our county party committee, which made them laugh. There are 20 to 30 mu of land behind the county committee, which is the most open place in the county committee compound. It is a vegetable field opened up by the county committee canteen. The vegetable field only occupies less than half of the area. The rest is a mess of rocks with overgrown weeds and trees. It looks like a desolate wilderness. I guess they found a similar feeling or wildness in the Northeast wilderness here. In fact, this is also a paradise for children in our county committee compound. When we were young, we often hid our dreams (hide and seek) here, imitated movies to play war games, and stole vegetables such as radishes, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc. as snacks, which made the canteen chefs very worried. But there was nothing they could do about us. They couldn't catch us at all. We were small and flexible. We could hide in the grass, depressions, and ditches at will. We couldn't find them, couldn't hit them, and couldn't catch them even if we found them. We could only get angry and swear to vent our anger. In the end, they simply ignored us and let us build in the vegetable garden.

We played behind the county committee for more than half an hour before going home. If we had played freely, I'm afraid we would go home after dark. They really liked it there. I hadn’t been there for a long time, but I got addicted to it right away and felt like a kid again. They said they would take me to Daxing’anling to see wild tigers when I go to Northeast China., big bears, etc. Although I felt a chill down my spine when I heard that, I was still looking forward to it.

Tonight, my family prepared 18 dishes at once, which was about the same number of people eating, mainly seafood. The three aunts prepared a Northeastern dish each. You know what, it was quite authentic, with a strong flavor of corn grits, especially the pickled cabbage stewed with pork was very delicious. The three aunts also spoke Northeastern dialect, which was quite authentic. No wonder, they went to Guandong when they were very young, and they followed the local customs. But from time to time, they also spoke a few words of their hometown dialect, and the flavor basically did not change. Now they have completely integrated into the life of the Northeast and become Northeastern people. The children all speak Northeastern dialect, and their temperament looks more like Northeastern people, especially the boys, who have a bit of the boldness and wildness of Northeastern people. I think their boldness is due to the genes of Shandong people, and their wildness is formed subtly in the Northeast. When these two personalities are combined, the righteousness contains wildness, which is more manly and more manly.

The three uncles are all authentic Northeasterners. They drink a lot, one bottle at a time, but their alcohol tolerance is limited, only about a few pounds. They don’t know how deep I am, let alone my alcohol tolerance. They started to fight hard, but they all gave up halfway and surrendered. To be frank, I can take on three of them alone and have no problem dealing with them.

My father looked at the three of them, who were like eggplants hit by frost, with their heads drooping and unable to speak. He couldn't help but sneer at the aunts, "Haha, look, I haven't even left the mountain yet, but the three brothers-in-law have already bowed their heads and surrendered. (Pointing at me) They can't even handle a child! Hahaha..."

Everyone laughed. Seeing that the three uncles kept getting under the table, they couldn't sit still and were ready to crawl under the table. My father quickly winked at me, and I immediately stood up with my father, and dragged the three uncles to the sofa one by one to lie down. They had to lie down, because they couldn't sit still at all and had fallen asleep. They got drunk too quickly. Fortunately, they were taken away in time.

After dinner, my father specially called a jeep from the county committee and asked me to put the three uncles who were sleeping like pigs into the car and take them to the county guesthouse to stay. The three aunts and children also took the jeep to the guesthouse afterwards.

Finally, they all left. The house suddenly became quiet and I felt that I could breathe more easily. Today, I performed beyond my level and drank almost three kilograms of wine without getting drunk. My father was even more energetic, walking like the wind and full of energy. He drank less than me. I don’t know why, but the three uncles-in-law all fired at me tonight, thinking that I could drink more because I was young and strong, and thus seriously ignored my father. In fact, my father could drink more than me when he was young. The three uncles-in-law looked up to me so much. At first, I was a little "flattered" and touched. Later, the more I drank, the more I felt uncomfortable. I could see that they were competing with me in drinking and bringing the smell of alcohol on the Northeast wine table to my home. Well, I took the challenge. I wanted to see how strong and how much you can drink. Under normal circumstances, people who drink like them often don’t drink much. It can be said that they are strong on the outside but weak on the inside. But they always want to knock others down as soon as possible with a burst of fierce attacks. If they meet someone who can’t drink well, they may really lose in a few rounds. But today...They had met a tough opponent.

The next day, after having breakfast at my house, I went with my parents to see my aunt's family off to the station and took the 8:30 bus back to my hometown. The three uncles-in-law strongly asked me to accompany them back. What's wrong? Did they not drink enough wine? If they don't accept it, they will continue to fight with us when they return to their hometown. If it were normal, I might accompany them, but not today. I am now thinking about Ling Liping. Originally, because you came last night, I was delayed by my good things. I didn't get to see her performance, and I was a little unhappy. The reason why I accepted your "challenge" at the wine table yesterday was also a kind of revenge against you.

The bus drove out a long way, and I saw the three uncles-in-law still sticking their heads out of the window like giraffes to say goodbye to us.
