Pamper Eighties

People in Taoyuan Village call this animal "little bison". In fact, no one can say exactly what it is. They only know that it is a unique animal in Longling. It tastes like veal, especially Fragrant and delicious.

This kind of buffalo is still very short-tempered. It stays in the deep mountains and old forests on weekdays, and the villagers never see it once. The reason why they tasted it was in the age of starvation. At that time, they and their My grandparents couldn’t find anything to eat, so the adults had no choice but to run up to the mountain, but unexpectedly encountered a large group of young bison, and everyone in the village was so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs. Every one of the cows was fat and strong. It really made their eyes look green. They finally paid the price of a villager's broken leg and a villager's broken hand. It was because of those veal that the people in Taoyuan Village did not starve to death during those years of starvation.

Most of the villagers here came from that era, and they remembered the veal they had eaten in childhood and adolescence, which is really the best taste in memory.

Huzi ran in front of Feng Yimin and left the little buffalo lying on the ground still panting slightly, and it seemed that he didn't have much time to live. , the result was this little bison, dragged it to the creek and started to clean up, and the people in the village were also very excited to run over to help.

This little bison hunted by Huzi is a male, with a thick mane on the back of the neck and two short sharp horns on the head. This kind of horn is a good thing, it is made into a comb to comb the hair. Best, Feng Yimin looked at Mengmeng's dark and shiny hair, walked over and explained, "Leave those two horns for me later, don't throw them away."

Of course, the people in the village had no objection. This was originally an animal hunted by the village chief’s tiger, and they followed suit. There was no reason to refuse. Look, just leave it to us here."

As soon as the words fell, the villagers heard a clear eagle chirping, and they quickly raised their heads to look at the sky, only to see Xiaojin's mighty figure flashing by, with a large and fat scorpion on its two claws. The fish was thrown on the grass with a snap, and it flapped its wings twice and disappeared on the top of the white clouds.

The fish on the grass was completely dead. It was gray-brown with dark spots all over its body. It was oval in shape and had a fat belly. Two big thick lips filled its head. It was so ugly it looked like a rotten rock.

The sharp-eyed villagers recognized it at once. This is the most valuable grouper in the sea. The one in front of me is about seventy to eighty centimeters long and four to fifty centimeters wide. What a big grouper! If this is sold in the provincial capital, it can definitely be exchanged for a worker's salary for a month, which is quite an incredible harvest!

The villagers were so excited that they were going crazy. If they owned the fish, they would definitely be reluctant to eat it, and they would definitely sell it for money. Faced with such valuable seafood, they did not dare to be greedy, so someone said hesitantly, "Village Chief, how good is this fish to sell, let's not eat it?"

Feng Yimin didn't think there was anything wrong, and said quite generously: "This fish was caught by Xiaojin for everyone to eat, don't be dawdling, and hurry up and clean up this fish, it won't be fresh after a delay. Last time we ate dragon scale fish and elk meat, today we will eat grouper and veal, and you all let me open my stomach and eat it well."

"Oh, thank you so much for the village chief and your family's little gold. Today we can also enjoy the food with the village chief. We can't eat such good food at home, haha."

The villagers were both excited and grateful. They were as happy as they were when they were children during the New Year's Eve. Some of the boys with childlike innocence couldn't help but sang on the spot. It's dancing.

The villagers cleaned up the buffalo and grouper, and found a spacious place by the lake to start cooking. The first is to make soup. They scooped up a large pot of stream water and boiled it, and threw all the seaweed brought from home. There are many things in the sea, and they are worthless at all, and the villagers do not feel distressed to make them casually. Be careful, it's almost too much.

The little bison has been grilled by the militiamen. The grouper is divided into two halves, one part is used for steaming, and the other part is made into slate fish fillets. Fortunately, they didn't bring anything else today, they only brought pots and pans. At most, when you come out with the village chief, you will have food.

With the help of everyone, this lunch was quickly prepared. There was already a strong aroma floating by the lake. When I took a breath, it was full of fragrant meat smell. Bathed in such a strong fragrance, The villagers were so hungry that their stomachs were croaking, and they were desperately gulping their saliva.

After all the food was cooked, the villagers could not wait to go up to eat, tear off a piece of veal, put a piece of fish sliced ​​on a slate, and drink a mouthful of seaweed fish bone soup, which is fresh, fragrant and moisturizing. I also brought dry food, which no one brought out at the moment. Compared with these delicacies, those dry food are as unpalatable as stones, and they can't wait to throw it away.

Feng Yimin has put out the food Mengmeng wants to eat separately, a small bowl of seaweed fish bone soup, a dozen pieces of tender meat from the hind legs of buffalo, slate-grilled fish fillets rolled into round strips, and two large pieces of steamed The grouper belly, he split a green bamboo tube, which contained crystal clear miscellaneous rice, and put a bunch of dark and frosted wild grapes next to it, tsk tsk tsk, even Mengmeng has never eaten such a thing. A hearty meal.

She cheered and sat on the grass and started to eat. She couldn't finish eating so many things. Her cheeks were puffed up on both sides, and her small mouth was especially busy. I'm not very skilled with chopsticks, and it's not easy to use a small spoon, so I just grabbed it with my hands when I was in a hurry.

Everyone was very satisfied with this meal. Although they tried their best to stuff it into their stomachs, the little bison had so much meat that they couldn't finish it all. The villagers would not waste such a good thing, and everyone cut it. He put a large piece in the back basket and was going to take it back to the village to give his family a taste. Feng Yimin didn't want it at all. He had to leave the back basket for Mengmeng to sit. How could he let these veal stain his beautiful little girl? daughter, so he asked the villagers to divide up all the veal, but he didn't get a piece of it himself.

The people in the village carried the heavy veal on their backs, all gave thumbs up, and praised: "Village Chief, you are such an open-minded person, you are willing to bring such expensive grouper to us to eat, He also gave us all these good veal, without saying, you are so refreshing, I really don’t know how to thank you.”

Feng Yimin smiled and said: "The villagers have worked hard to follow me into the mountains. I can rest assured that these things can make you full. You don't need to thank me too much. It is true that you build roads for the village. The road is related to how we can make a lot of money in the future, so everyone should be more attentive and repair the road well, and I will be satisfied."

Feng Yimin's words were very beautiful, and the people in the village were moved a little. He just felt that he, the village chief, was really dedicated to the villagers, and he was the one who said selflessly.

After eating lunch, Feng Yimin took Mengmeng around the fairy lake. He originally planned to point out the little squirrels on the tree to his family, but he didn't expect those little squirrels to disappear. Maybe go somewhere else to prepare for the winter.

The villagers have visited Xianhu Lake, and have no opinion on the decision to build roads in the village. Everyone agreed that they should build roads as soon as possible during the slack season. A villager's heart is full of hope, just thinking that when the Xianhu Scenic Spot is opened, more and more people will come to visit them, and they will earn more and more money.

In the midst of being busy, Lidong passed by without knowing it, and the weather became colder and colder. Everyone in the old Feng family wore thin cotton jackets. Madam Feng stared at the old Huangli all day long, thinking about her old man in her heart. Why didn't she and her two sons come back? They had been gone for so long and there was no news. She couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart.

No matter how worried Mrs. Feng was, she was just thinking about it in her heart. At most, she would say a few words to her family Mengmeng when no one was there, and it would never reach the ears of the two daughters-in-law, even if they would be worried too. .

Zhao Chunhua was a little worried, but it was true. In a country like them, it was very inconvenient to have no man at home. For example, if she was fishing in the sea, she would not have her family's share. For example, if the house was repaired, the people in the village thought about entertaining them next year. Tourists, they are all taking advantage of the slack to repair their houses. She Zhao Chunhua can't do these things alone. Seeing that the days are passing by, her family's men will never come back when they go to the south. She said in her heart that she is not worried about that. Definitely fake.

Chen Hongmei doesn't have the troubles like them. Feng Laosan is not at home. She doesn't know how happy she is. No one can control her anymore. Anyway, the farm work in the field is finished, and her family has no parents-in-law to control her. , just two little dolls, just fool around twice. She goes to bed every day until the sun hits her buttocks before she wakes up. After she wakes up, she cooks a meal, and she has all three of their mother's meals for the whole day. Anyway, it's so cold now that the food is not there. It will go bad, and she can make three meals in one meal.

It is only at this time that Chen Hongmei will feel the benefits of separation. Like her sister-in-law, she has to go to work and live with her mother-in-law. She doesn't even have time to sleep in. How can she live a relaxed and comfortable life? .

She runs away from sight all day long, and the family is full of cold pots and stoves, forcing Wuwa to learn to cook hot meals at a young age, otherwise those cold meals and cold dishes are eaten in the stomach, just like eating Going in is like a lump of ice slag, and it is easy to have diarrhea after eating too much.

Liuwa started to have a runny nose again in the winter. He is only two years old this year. Wuwa doesn't worry about his brother. When he enters the kitchen, he has to be brought in. Liuwa can't help, so Wuwa asks his brother to squat. Next to him, he added firewood under the stove himself.

Hearing Liuwazi's snot snorting, Wuwa felt so disgusted that he had to help him press it off, then he patted his brother's little head, looked at him with some sympathy and said, "Oh Liuwa, you are still like this. I don’t have a mother to take care of when I’m young. My brother is different from you. My brother will be five years old after the new year. You can take care of yourself. You are like no mother if you have a mother. Why do you think our mother can't stay home all day?"

Where did Chen Hongmei go?

Now that the mountain road has been repaired, it is also convenient to get out of the mountain. When she sees the sky, she runs to her mother's house. Her mother's house is in Shangxi Village on the other side of the commune. If she travels fast, it will take four or five hours to go back and forth. , but she still ran back to her mother's house every day at dawn.

She is a person with a lot of heart. Although she has money in her hand, she is not stupid enough to give out all the money. , you can definitely hear her maiden's family's praise and flattery to her. Chen Hongmei only felt that she had never been so beautiful in her life. These maiden family members who looked down on her now knew that they were obedient to her.

It's just that the more times she gives, the more obedient words gradually become less, how can this be done?

The clever Chen Hongmei quickly came up with a new trick. She doesn't give money directly anymore. She just buys things and takes them back to her mother's house. She gives the family money, but her parents and her mother are not necessarily willing to spend it. Something they can definitely use and eat. Chen Hongmei has no tickets in her hand, and there are no rare good things in the commune. She can only buy some snacks and small cakes from the self-employed at high prices. She used to only give money, but now she only gives things. They felt that raising this girl was a coward. In front of her, they buried her once, and made Chen Hongmei so ashamed that she was dumbfounded. Started the idea of ​​a grocery store.

Of course, she didn't dare to go to the canteen to get things for nothing. She bought them all with money. She not only bought those rare fashionable clothes, but also bought a lot of rare towels and handkerchiefs, and gave them to her nephews and nieces. She has prepared a lot of rare snacks. In short, she is reluctant to use the things herself. This time, she bought all of them for her family, so they can't bury her anymore, right?

Of course, her family was very happy to see so many good things. They praised and praised her, and said that she was a good girl who cherished her family. Chen Hongmei had enjoyed the highest treatment in her family, and her mind was overwhelmed. The soap bubbles, and he blew the cowhide casually: "You see these things are very strange, don't you? In fact, it's nothing. When my family's Yiren comes back from the south, there will be many good things like this, you can use them. , if it's not enough, I'll bring it to you again."

Such a cheap and good thing, then dare to be good, her family agreed immediately, Chen Hongmei and her elder brother Chen Liujin also said: "Sister, you have worked hard for so many years. Life at home has been so good, but our family is still living a hard life. You can see that our mother and father are skinny, and our brothers are also shaving food in the ground every day, and we still can’t get enough to eat. Fan, the dolls at home don't even have any better clothes. It's been a tough day. You really have the heart to watch your family suffer? If you have a conscience, when our brother-in-law comes back, he won't buy it. Are there so many goods to sell? We can also sell them together. Let’s not talk about how much we can earn and how much we can make. Anyway, it’s the way to go. Then we’ve settled on it. When my brother-in-law comes back, you’ll have a good time with him. Say, I know he listens to you the most, alas, this girl is really promising, she is born to be a prosperous husband."

Chen Hongmei was a little awake in an instant, she couldn't help but hesitate a little, that man in her family was not easy to talk to, and she usually had to use two dolls as an excuse to fool him. He looked so good, it was too late for him to hate it, how could he possibly help them? Chen Hongmei knew these things very well. If she dared to say this, she might be punished severely by her family's man.

She felt a little regretful that she had just bragged about the cowhide just now, and the expression on her face was a little hesitant: "Brother, it's not that I don't want to help my parents' family, but there are so many goods that Yiren spent money to buy, and also We have worked hard to bring it back from the south, and we have also invested a lot of money. It's not that I hate my mother's family. If you want to make money together, you have to have money. My father-in-law, you also know that person, he certainly doesn't. I will give you the goods for free."

Seeing that she refused to agree, Chen Liujin's face was not good-looking, he changed his face faster than anyone else, and said angrily with a dark face: "This old saying is good, she is a married girl as expected. , the water that was poured out, it hasn't happened yet. You helped him to talk to the old Feng family. What did you say about the old Feng Feng? Didn't your family have already separated from him? The goods are you If you bought it yourself, can he still control your house? Don't you just come out and block me if you're not happy?"

Chen Hongmei immediately became anxious, she pressed her chest and said very aggrieved: "Brother, what did you say? I don't mean it at all. If I am a conscience, then you are holding these in your hand now. Where did the stuff come from? I've already told you the reason, isn't it embarrassing me?"

Chen Hongmei was so anxious that she almost jumped up, desperately trying to make her maiden family understand her filial piety and not easy.

Chen Hongmei's mother, Mrs. Chen, was also sitting next to her. She found that the two brothers and sisters were about to get into a standoff, so she came out and said, "Hongmei, you are a good child, and my mother didn't raise you for nothing. , I even married you into such a good family. Even if you don't appreciate us in your heart, you can't watch your father, your mother and me live a hard life, right? Even if it's a dog, I'll feed it something Eat, it knows it wants to wag its tail with me, don't you think? Mom knows your difficulties and doesn't want to embarrass you. Our family has no capital to do business, but our two are so close that we are a family. Don't talk about the two, our family doesn't take advantage of your husband's family. Your man has bought so much goods, let him give us a little bit of credit, and we will pay him back when we make money. Isn't it done? If you don't want to help, then mom can't tell what you're thinking. "

As Mrs. Chen spoke, she patted her thigh and sighed, "Aiya, I've had a hard life, and I haven't had a good day. Seeing that I'm going to close my eyes, I have to work hard for you children. When I kick my legs and burp, I don't have to worry about whether my children are filial to me. Anyway, when I get to the Lord of Hell, I naturally have something to say. I heard that people who are not filial will go to hell, but they will go to the frying pan. ."

Chen Hongmei was beaten and wooed by her family, her heart was completely messed up, her past obedience prevailed, and she couldn't help but say, "Mom, what are you talking about? You don't know me yet. Is this person the most filial one? It's not like we don't give money when we buy goods on credit. Mom, you're right, we should help each other as a family. I think it can be done like this."

Mrs. Chen glanced at her eldest son proudly. Sure enough, she had to rely on her for this matter. After so many years, their family has borrowed this and borrowed from Feng Laosan's family. Where is the family? The things in the son-in-law's house are the same as those in her own house. The son-in-law is very knowledgeable and never reminded. Their family has long forgotten everything they have borrowed, and they have never thought of returning them. It must be the same for the next time, but she just said it to make her girl sound better.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen had a smile on her face, and she said kindly, "Hongmei, you're right, don't you understand when you're married? You have a powerful family. How important, if you are bullied at your husband's family, isn't your mother's family going to support you? If our family is rich, Feng Laosan will have to look at you highly, we women, we have to understand this truth, no My mother's family just can't do it. Mom sees that you understand, so let's settle this matter. It's getting late, and the family doesn't cook your meals. Go home quickly, and mom won't send you away. ."

Chen Hongmei was very happy in her heart. How could her father and her mother tell her these things in the past, but now they finally treat her as a human being, so that she has extra face in front of her mother's sister-in-law, and her brother has to respect her too. Tell her to be obedient, she can help Chen Hongmei to her parents' family, can her sister-in-law? Her sister-in-law must be sour, jealous, and unable to show it. If she offends her little sister-in-law, see if her brother doesn't beat her sister-in-law hard, hahaha.

The more she thought about it, the more beautiful Chen Hongmei felt, and her steps became more brisk. She actually returned to Taoyuan Village more than half an hour earlier than usual. It was not dark when they approached the mountain intersection, and the sun was still shining on that day. The weak heat was like a fluffy egg. Thinking of the egg, Chen Hongmei's stomach was also a little hungry. The Wuwa at home should have warmed up the meal and was waiting for her to go back to eat.

Chen Hongmei's stomach was so hungry that she couldn't help but quicken her steps. As soon as she walked to the entrance of the village, she suddenly saw her mother-in-law standing in front with her hands on her hips. Her mother-in-law held a face like a black man. He was staring at her murderously.
