60s Splendid Life

The fifth day of the fifth lunar month is the Dragon Boat Festival. On this day, pigs are slaughtered in the village and their tofu workshops are closed for the day.

The slaughtering of the pigs was still at the grain drying ground last time, and the people in the village had already carried the pots to get the pork.Lu Jin also took the three children of their family to take a pot to divide the meat equally, this time their family can also share pork!

Lu Jin didn't know how many work points he had saved and how much meat he could get after working in the tofu shop for so long. He was a little excited and a little nervous about this.The meat bought with work points is not the same as the meat bought with his own money. Now he understands why the people in the village are so happy every time they hear that they can share things. Now they are also very happy. Happy.

"Brother, when will it be our turn?" Lu Haochen held a basin in his hand and stretched his neck to look forward.It's a pity that he is too short, even if he stretches his neck and looks forward, he can't see the meat stall in front of him.

"Go and get it when our name is called." Lu Jin was still holding Xiao Bao'er in his arms. Small, even if the neck is stretched out, nothing can be seen.

Lu Qinglian also followed her brother, pricking up her ears to hear when their names could be called.

There were quite a few people around, each holding a basin and waiting for the captain in front to call his name and go up to get the meat, many of them came from a family together.

"Lu Cai, who's here from Lu Cai's family?"

"Yes, yes, Lu Cai's family is here."

A man standing by them raised his hand in response, and several members of the family rushed forward with the basins in hand. Soon Captain Lu called for the next person, and it was the turn of the next one after the first one took it.

After waiting for a long time, Lu Jin finally heard his name being called. He hurriedly answered "Yes", handed the little treasure to his sister, and hurriedly took the basin to the front to get the meat.When he came to line up with the basin, the line in front of him was the people from the old house. His second aunt Chen Aihong finished taking the meat, and it was his turn next.

Lu Jin didn't know how many work points he had accumulated during this time, and he was a little surprised when Captain Lu reported that he had so many work points.

"How many work points for meat?"

"Change everything."

When Lu Jin found out that he said that all the work points would be exchanged for meat, the team leader glanced at him and asked repeatedly if he wanted to exchange all the work points for meat. .” He planned to exchange all his work points for meat and take it back to make zongzi. They had all the materials ready, and they would wait until they got the meat and went back.

Captain Lu took a pen and drew on the notebook, and asked the meat divider to cut the meat for Lu Jin.

Lu Jin handed over the basin, and when he came out, he was holding a basin of meat in his hand. Before he put away the joy on his face, he saw his second aunt Chen Aihong, followed by her three daughters and the first wife. of two girls.I don't know if the other party is waiting for him here on purpose or what, his second aunt looked at him with a pot of meat in his hand, and there was unconcealable jealousy in his eyes, her tone was very sour He said, "I really don't know how to live my life."

?How do I live, what does it matter to you?Lu Jin rolled his eyes in his heart, he disliked wasting his energy talking to this kind of person, he didn't even give him a look, and walked over as if he didn't see it.

"Brother! Did you change the meat?"

"It's changed, let's go home."

Two children from their family ran over with their little brother in their arms. Lu Jin couldn't hold anyone with the things in his hands, so he asked his sister and Chen Chen to take turns carrying his brother, and the four brothers and sisters walked out of the crowd.

Seeing that Lu Jin ignored her and walked over without even taking care of her, Chen Aihong turned pale with anger, glared at the nephews and nieces who left with resentment in her eyes, and said to her three daughters and nieces : "Go, let's go home!"

It's just that on the way back, Chen Aihong thought countless times in her heart, if only the pot of meat brought by Lu Jin's white-eyed wolf belonged to them, the meat shared by their family is not as much as Lu Jin's, and Lu Jin's family Only four children have exchanged so much meat. The little meat they take back will be eaten by the whole family. It is still another matter whether they can each get a bite of meat.If they knew that brat still had such abilities, they wouldn't have tried their best to drive him out!

But it's too late to say anything now, people have already been kicked out by them, and the family has been divided, so Chen Aihong is jealous that others share more meat than theirs, and other people's meat will not be brought to theirs.

In fact, it is not easy for anyone to earn work points these days. The whole family earns it back by working hard in the fields, and the autumn harvest will be in a month or two. Most of the family earns it all year round. The work points are reserved for the family to eat after the autumn harvest, so even if the village kills pigs and divides the meat, everyone is reluctant to exchange all the work points for meat, just because of the festival, just for some meat. Just home for the holidays.

So Lu Jin didn't know that there was no other person in the whole village who exchanged all his work points for meat in such an arrogant manner.

Aunt Qin was a little surprised when she saw that Lu Jin came back with more meat than theirs, and asked, "Why does your family share so much meat?"

"Isn't it based on work points? I exchanged work points." Lu Jin was a little confused, so he thought that everyone exchanged work points for as much meat. He was very happy when he knew that he could exchange so much meat. Big pot of meat.

"It's right to exchange work points."

"..."

When he heard Mrs. Qin say that it is not necessary to replace all of them with meat, but to save some for food after the autumn harvest, Lu Jin finally understood why everyone looked at him at that time. No wonder the captain asked him repeatedly. Is it really going to be changed, that's how it is.But now that everything has been changed, he can't take the meat back and get his work points back, right?Not to mention whether Captain Lu is willing or not, even the people in Captain Lu's willing team may not necessarily agree.

"Hehe, it's okay. I've changed it back. At worst, let's soak more glutinous rice and make more zongzi." The day before yesterday, Lu Jin discussed with his Aunt Qin that the two families would make zongzi together. When the time comes, the rice dumplings will be shared between the two families, so he will bring the meat directly to Mrs. Qin's house after sharing the meat. He also plans to go to the town tomorrow and take some rice dumplings to give away.

Aunt Qin and her family also shared a lot of meat. The meat was brought back by Lu Bocheng, but their family's meat was not as much as Lu Jin's.

"All right, I'll ask your sister-in-law to soak some more glutinous rice. Let's pack a little more and cook it until night. When it's cooked, share some with your family." Now that there is so much meat, the glutinous rice prepared before is less, Mrs. Qin I called my daughter-in-law to soak another [-] catties of glutinous rice and a few catties of beans.

The two pots of meat brought back were set aside for cooking at night, and they cut the rest into large pieces and marinated them to make zongzi.

If you want to say which flavor of zongzi is the best, it is of course the salted duck egg big meat zongzi!

The salted duck egg Lu Jin has been marinated in a jar a month in advance, and it happens to be used to make zongzi today.The glutinous rice and beans have already been soaked in advance, so after the meat is cut and marinated, they start to make zongzi.

Aunt Qin's house came to make zongzi, and a few children were playing nearby. Lu Jin was free to help make zongzi. He took a reed leaf and made a triangular tip, and filled it with glutinous rice, beans and salted duck eggs. And meat, put more meat on top, and press down the leaves.He also practiced tying the rope with one hand, pressing one end of the rope with one hand, and pulling the other end with the other hand to wrap around the rice dumpling a few times and tie a knot. Throw it, and then continue to tie another one, without any pause in the middle.

"Oh, Xiao Jin, you are making zongzi too fast." Aunt Qin felt that she was proficient enough in making zongzi, but compared with Lu Jin, she hadn't tied a single zongzi yet, and she saw Lu Jin It was already wrapped and thrown away the next day.

And she saw that the zongzi thrown by Lu Jin was no worse than the zongzi she made. Aren't the zongzi she made for decades for nothing?

"Yeah, Xiaojinbao's zongzi are really pretty, much better than mine." Wang Xiumei picked up a piece of Lujinbao's zongzi and looked at it. It's not much better than the edgeless rice dumplings she wrapped herself.

"Isn't that the bag?" While talking, Lu Jin tied up another rice dumpling and threw it into the basket. Their little Baoer ran over and hugged his feet and stood up, trying to reach for the things on the table. , was stopped by him.He shook his head at the child, and gave the child a disapproving look, "Wait until it's cooked before eating, you can't eat it now."

The child glanced at him, and then looked at the food on the table. The big black and white eyes clearly wrote "I want to eat".

Before he could yell, my sister came over and took away the naughty brother.

The dustpan containing the zongzi was soon full to the brim, Mrs. Qin and her daughter-in-law took the wrapped zongzi to the kitchen to cook, and Lu Jin continued to sit here making zongzi and watching the children not to make trouble.

Before noon, the first pot of zongzi was boiled. They picked up a zongzi and shared one for each child, as well as one for each of the adults.

Captain Lu and his sons also returned home from the outside, just in time for the zongzi to be cooked at home, and the father and son went to get the zongzi to eat.After taking a bite, Lu Dequan found that this year's rice dumplings were more delicious than those they made in previous years. He couldn't help but hummed, nodded, and praised: "Delicious!"

"Yes, dad, our rice dumplings this year are really delicious." Lu Bocheng also peeled a rice dumpling and ate it.
