"Go and put down the bag, wash your hands, and prepare to eat." Mom turned around and showed a happy smile on her face.

"okay."

Zhang Bi replied, then went back to his room, put the bag on the bed, turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

At this time, my mother is frying spicy chicken, which is Zhang Wei's favorite dish.

This spicy chicken is different from the ones in restaurants outside. Generally, the spicy chicken is very dry, wrapped in tin foil, and the chicken is found in dried chili.

But Zhang Wei's mother's original spicy chicken method requires fresh chicken without deep frying, and then directly puts a lot of pickled peppers, fresh peppers and dried peppers.Three kinds of peppers are mixed together and stir-fried at high temperature, so that the spiciness gradually penetrates into the fresh chicken.Then add bean paste, ginger and garlic, soy sauce, and stir-fry over high heat... This taste makes Zhang Wei salivate every time he thinks about it.

Next to my mother, two dishes have been fried, one is shredded pork with celery, and the other is vinegared cabbage.

Zhang Wei walked by quietly, quickly stretched out his thumb and forefinger, pointed at the overflowing shredded meat and picked it up, and when he was about to put it in his mouth, he was knocked off.

"What to eat, I haven't washed my hands yet, so I'm not afraid of stomachache." My mother gave Zhang Wei a reproachful look, "Go and wash your hands, then bring these two dishes to the table, and then taste the food in the pot." Is there any flavor in Robbie's soup?"

"Hey, good." Zhang Wei smiled wretchedly, washed his hands according to his mother's instructions, and went to serve the dishes.

After Zhang Wei arranged the bowls and chopsticks, my mother also cooked the last dish.

"Come on, mom, I'll come, I'll come." Zhang Wei saw his mother coming out of the kitchen with the spicy chicken, and hurried up to greet him, and took the spicy and refreshing spicy chicken from his mother's hand, he couldn't help feeling deep Take a breath and drool.

The mother didn't refuse either, she smiled and watched Zhang Bi serve the chicken, and watched her son from behind.

"Wow, my mother's cooking skills are still top-notch, much better than the small restaurants outside the school." Zhang Wei couldn't stop talking while holding his rice bowl.

"Slow down, look at you, you can't even close your hot mouth, why are you in such a hurry." Mom looked at Zhang Wei with a smile, her face brimming with happiness.

"It's delicious! It's still comfortable at home. Mom, you don't know that the most important thing to do in school is to think about what to eat every day besides class."

Before Zhang Bi finished speaking, his mother put the chopsticks on the table, stared and asked, "Is the living expenses not enough? Tell me if it's not enough."

puff!
Zhang Wei couldn't help laughing, his mother is indeed his mother, "It's not that the living expenses are not enough, it's because I eat those every day, and I'm tired of eating."

"Oh, I thought I didn't have to eat." Mom secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat.

"By the way, I'm going back to your grandma's house tomorrow. Are you going back?" Mom asked Zhang Wei as she put down the bowls and chopsticks.

This is my mother's habit. Every year when the new year is approaching, my mother will go home. The meaning is to celebrate the new year with my grandparents.However, Zhang Wei's grandparents have been dead for several years, and his mother still goes back every year. In addition to hanging up papers in advance, she also takes a look at relatives such as her uncles and aunts.

However, because my grandma’s house is far away in a mountainous area, even more mountainous than the Xiaoniu Village Zhang Wei visited last time, after climbing dozens of miles of mountain roads, there is basically only one village in a radius of tens of kilometers, and there are not even people on the way. , let alone any signal.So let alone mobile phones and the like, the people there basically communicate with the outside world by going to the shops in the village to make the most primitive public phones.

Zhang Wei used to dislike the bumpy mountain roads and the days when there was no signal, and always felt that wasting time was not fun, so he hadn't gone there for several years.Every time my mother went back alone, and then came back four or five days later.

Seeing Zhang Wei's silence, the mother showed a slightly disappointed expression on her face.But he quickly covered it up, picked up a chopstick of meat and put it in Zhang Wei's bowl, and said with a smile: "Then I will go by myself, but from tomorrow onwards you will cook and eat by yourself, I will come back in about four or five days .”

"I'll go with you tomorrow." Zhang Wei looked up at his mother and said.

He obviously noticed that after hearing his words, a look of joy flashed across his mother's face, and the corners of her mouth parted involuntarily.

But she immediately asked with concern: "You just came back, do you want to rest at home for two days? It's not like you don't know about your grandma, it's far away."

"One night's rest is enough. I haven't been back to my grandma's house for a long time anyway. This time I go back and take a look."

After dinner, Zhang Wei chatted with his mother for a while about what he had studied in the past six months.

But he didn't dare to tell her that he had transferred to another school, otherwise, according to his mother's personality, knowing that the reason for his transfer was because of killing someone, he would have to go to Zhang Wei's father's grave and cry for several days.

Early the next morning, Zhang Wei and his mother went to the supermarket to buy a large package of things, such as reconstituted drinks, milk, and candies.

After all, there are several uncles in the next room in my hometown, and it is impossible for each family to give away only one kind. If this is calculated, it will be a big bag.

But fortunately, Zhang Wei is different. If it is not too much and inconvenient to take, it will not be difficult for him to add dozens of points.

After Zhang Wei and his mother took the bus to a county, they began to transfer to take the rural bus. The roads they walked were all very primitive gravel roads, which were so bumpy that they could shake a child out of the window.

So Zhang Wei remembers that there was a joke at the time that the drivers who went out from here killed all the drivers in the city in seconds.

After the rural bus got off the bus, the rest of the road was closed to traffic, and only had to rely on two legs.

Zhang Wei looked at this road, which was lower than the stone road, and it was paved with mud. In fact, it was just a very wide path in common terms.It is covered with green grass, and only the place where people often step on it shows a road.

Under the guidance of his mother, Zhang Wei embarked on this long road leading to nowhere.

But the environment here is really good. At a glance, there are all big green trees. Although it is winter, it still does not hinder their vigorous greenness.

After walking along the main road for more than an hour, Zhang Wei turned into a small road. Along the way, he only saw one house, and the door was closed, so he didn't know if there was anyone there.

After walking up and down for another two or three hours, my mother suddenly yelled into the woods.

"Big tree!"

Zhang Wei looked up, only to find that in the woods, a rough man in his 40s was holding a kitchen knife to get the branches of the branches there, as if he was going to tie them up and drag them back to use as firewood.

When the big man heard the voice, his clear eyes immediately noticed Zhang Wei and his mother, and responded with a little excitement: "It's Seventh Sister?"

"Hey, it's me, big tree, why don't you chop firewood again?" Mom replied a little happily.

"Well, that's right, there's no more firewood at home, so I'll come out and find some." Da Shu said, carrying the bundled firewood on his back and walking to Zhang Wei.

"Yo, is this Zhang Da?"

"Yeah, yes." My mother replied, then turned to look at Zhang Wei, and introduced: "This is from your grandmother's village, called Uncle Qi."

"Seventh Uncle." Zhang Wei smiled slightly and called.

"Oh, this baby is so tall. I remember five years ago, it was only so tall. Oh, time flies." Dashu stroked twice, feeling a sense of indifference.

The rest of the road was basically completed under the leadership of this uncle named Dashu. Apart from recalling the past, the topics he talked with his mother revolved around Zhang Wei, where did he study, whether his grades were good, and whether he had any questions. Girlfriend, what are you studying, whether it includes distribution or not.

When he arrived at the entrance of the village, Zhang Wei was quite surprised that the whole village had arrived, and they all made a special trip to pick up his mother and himself.

Because it was originally a small village, there were less than twenty families in total, and everyone was basically related.

So knowing that Zhang Wei's mother was coming back, they all warmly came to the village entrance to greet her.

I haven't seen each other for a few years, and the older people in the village will inevitably have to ask Zhang Bi, and under the guidance of my mother, they will call all the seven uncles and eight uncles, although this After one round, he didn't remember much, but the ceremony was over after all.

Seeing the children in the village, my mother took out the red envelopes she had prepared from her pocket and divided them one by one.

Zhang Bi didn't look carefully, but a rough calculation shows that there are at least two families, more than ten families, and more than thirty children.

Fortunately, Zhang Wei is not short of money now, otherwise these red envelopes would be enough for him to have a headache.

But my mother didn't give much, only 20 yuan in a red envelope.

But because they are in such a remote mountainous area, these children were very happy when they got 20 yuan, jumping and screaming, and their parents kept thanking them.

After distributing everything, Zhang Bi followed his mother to his uncle's house.

According to the rules, the family eats for one day, and the meal starts at the uncle's house, which is why it takes four or five days for my mother to go back to her hometown every time.

In the enthusiastic atmosphere, Zhang Wei felt a little strange that the women here gave him a different feeling.

Needless to say, the status is low, these women are not allowed to sit on the table when Zhang Wei eats.

The most important thing is that these women are one by one, and Zhang Wei can't see the expression on their faces.Many people have wooden faces, like puppets.

But he didn't think much about it, maybe it was because he was bent over by the complicated labor life.

The dinner was very lively, so naturally I drank a lot of wine, and it was all my uncle's own bubble wine, which was full of strength.

Everyone took turns taking penalties, and after a few laps, people were basically drunk.

Zhang Wei usually doesn't drink much, but this time he drank the wine made by his uncle, which made him feel uncomfortable in his stomach.
