Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Braised pork, stewed bacon with cabbage and vermicelli, pot stickers, steamed rice, and dumplings, this Winter Solstice meal can be quite sumptuous.

Xia Mingshuang smiled and said: "The public security comrades who are celebrating the big holiday have come out to perform tasks, which has delayed your celebration at home. Let's just celebrate the holiday together today."

She also boiled the wine and let them drink two cups to warm themselves up.

In this era, there was no rule against drinking on official duties. Especially in the cold winter, many people had to drink some wine to warm themselves up when going out.

The braised pork cooked by Xia Mingshuang is bright red in color, oily and exudes a sweet and mellow aroma, which makes people move their index fingers.

Zhou Chengguang and the police officer were not polite, they picked it up and ate it, "Hmm~", it melted in the mouth, fat but not greasy, sweet and chewy, very delicious!

Zhou Chengguang took the rice handed to him by Xia Mingshuang and poured it with a spoonful of braised pork soup. Just this soup can eat three large bowls of rice, not to mention that there are meat and vegetables.

The young policeman was impressed after taking one bite, "Sister-in-law, your braised pork is more delicious than the one made by the master chef in our cafeteria, and even the one made by the master chef in the state-owned restaurant is not as delicious as yours."

Xia Mingshuang said with a smile: "Meat these days is delicious, and everyone can make it delicious."

She asked Gu Nianjun to eat too, and mixed a small bowl of rice for Zaizai.

The room was steaming, quite lively, and had a festive atmosphere.

Zhou Chengguang and the police officer originally wanted to take it easy and not eat too much, but it turned out to be so delicious that they couldn't control it. Xia Mingshuang and Er Zhuang tried to persuade them again, but they accidentally ate too much.

The braised pork will definitely be eaten up, and the soup will be wiped clean by the pot stickers.

There was no bacon stewed with cabbage and vermicelli left, and all the bone broth was consumed, including several scallions and a plate of farmhouse sauce.

Onion for dipping in sauce, and garlic for meat, these are the local standard. Without these, the meat will not be fragrant enough.

The young police officer said what everyone was thinking, "Sister-in-law, if you can go to a state-owned hotel to be a chef, the door will be broken by the big guys. Your cooking skills are really good."

Xia Mingshuang laughed. The little comrade has such a sweet mouth. Everyone is short of oil and water these days. If you have money and can afford it, meat will be robbed like crazy.

After the meal, Xia Mingshuang gave them hawthorn water to relieve their tiredness and let them eat and drink before going back.

Originally, they had a casual meal and left after going on official business. It didn't take much time, but what happened was that they had stew. They ate until dark before leaving.

The three boys were sent to the intersection and reluctantly waved goodbye, "Captain Zhou, come back when you have time."

As the police officers rode their bikes, Zhou Chengguang waved to them, "We'll go to the county during the winter vacation and go back. It's very cold."

Da Zhuang and Gu Nianjun turned around when they could no longer see their shadows.

Gu Nianjun: "Dazhuang, do you think I really need to go to school?"

If Da Zhuang would have said that it would be a waste of time to go to school, now he nodded, "Yes."

Gu Nianjun: "Hey, going to school at such an early age feels like..." He felt it was too embarrassing. If he was nine or ten years old, it would be okay. Then he would be 13 years old in the new year. How about going to the first grade again?

That's really not embarrassing enough, absolutely not.

He was so excited at first, but now he calmed down, "How about... let's forget it?"

Da Zhuang rolled his eyes at him. He didn't hold on at all. He didn't even get hot for 3 minutes.

Erzhuang: "Then you don't want to be a public security officer? Uncle Zhou said, do you have to go to high school to become a public security officer?"

Gu Nianjun: "I can't go directly to the fourth and fifth grades, right? They don't want me either."

Da Zhuang: "Maybe there is a way. Ask my mother."

He now feels that his mother is very powerful. Not only can she make delicious food, she also has methods.

When Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang returned home, Gu Nianjun followed.

The room was already dark. Xia Mingshuang lit the kerosene lamp and was cleaning the table at home. There was hot water in the pot and she washed the dishes.

Miaomiao also helped clean up.

The little Zaizai was full, and walked around the main room with his little hands in his pockets. After walking around for two times, he took out five yuan and five kilograms of food stamps from his pocket, "Mom?"

Xiao Zaizai looked confused, where did this come from?

Xia Mingshuang immediately knew that this was the meal money given by Zhou Chengguang and the two of them. Generally, when officials from above went to the countryside to work on errands and had meals at the homes of fellow villagers, they would give money, but they gave too much.

Originally, Zhou Chengguang and the others wanted to give them money and food stamps according to business trip standards, but later they felt embarrassed because the food was so delicious, so Zhou Chengguang used the opportunity to put more money and food stamps in his pocket when he said goodbye and hugged his little Zaizai.

Knowing that the gift was given sincerely, Xia Mingshuang was not embarrassed, so he put it away.

Seeing a few children coming in, Xia Mingshuang pondered for a moment. She still had to ask the questions that needed to be asked and say the things that needed to be said.

She cleared her throat, "Now that the guests are gone, it's time for you to confess, right?"

Da Zhuang pretended not to know, "What are you confessing?"

Gu Nianjun and Er Zhuang also pretended to be dumbfounded.

Xia Mingshuang: "You will be treated leniently if you confess, and you will be treated harshly if you resist. I don't need to say more about this, right?"

Gu Nianjun: "Auntie, my grandma is calling me. I'll go home first."

Xia Ming turned around and blocked the door, preventing him from getting out. "Stand still!"

Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang were so excited that they subconsciously stood in line against the edge of the kang. Gu Nianjun didn't dare to talk back when he saw this, so he obediently went over to take the lead and stand in line.

Xiao Zai Zai looked at them in surprise, thinking it was a good thing, so he ran over and stood at the end of the queue.

Xia Mingshuang took the little Zaizai back to the kang and said slowly, "You can explain it yourself. It would be different if you waited for me to ask."

Da Zhuang still wanted to think about how to deceive him, at least not to make his mother angry. Er Zhuang was a man who knew the current affairs, so he started to explain with a small mouth.

"Mom, my brother is very filial. I am afraid that they will come to the village and scare you. You said that you are a woman, and there are my sister and younger brother. What if I scare you? My brother..."

After praising Da Zhuang, Gu Nianjun also labeled Da Zhuang a worthy son of the People's Liberation Army. Honest, upright and courageous to take on tasks.

I didn't see that Captain Zhou was conquered by them. He looked down upon them. Do you want to let them join the police force when they grow up?

Da Zhuang and Gu Nianjun were very satisfied. Er Zhuang was their perfect substitute. Even if they had to say it themselves, they couldn't say it was that good.

Seeing their complacent expressions, Xia Mingshuang didn't expose them, let alone get angry. Her purpose was never to control them, let alone criticize them.

She first thanked the children, "I have to thank you for helping to solve such a big trouble. Even if I can solve it, I still have to argue and get angry with others. If you solve it, I don't need to do this."

The cheeks of several children suddenly turned red. Saying thank you was so disgusting and embarrassing.

Da Zhuang: "...No need."

Gu Nianjun: "It's all thanks to Da Zhuang."

Erzhuang also wanted to ask his mother if she had any actual thank you gift.

Xia Mingshuang asked again: "Why do you think you were able to settle this matter?"
