Chapter 25 25
But you can take your time. Anyway, after the autumn harvest, there is not much work except planting wheat, so you can rest at home for a long time.
He went to Yan's house again to buy some sweet potatoes. The family forgot to grow sweet potatoes this year, but his wife likes to eat them again.
In fact, he also likes to eat.
When you go to the stream to release ducks, take two sweet potatoes, find some dry firewood, and wait for the sweet potatoes to ripen slowly while roasting the fire. It is a very happy thing.
The temperature has started to drop recently.
The anger of the villagers is getting stronger day by day.
Somehow Zhao Manyue found out about Zhang Yun's refusal to consummate the house with Zhao Dabao.
The Zhao family was in trouble, and Zhao Manyue was wronged. She treated her daughter-in-law with all her heart and soul, and left all the delicious food for her daughter-in-law to eat, but the daughter-in-law slipped around to play with her son. Force you on your neck, do you need to deceive people like this?
Zhang Yun was kicked out of Zhao's house.
Zhao Dabao was reluctant to part with his daughter-in-law at first, but was persuaded by his old lady's analysis. Zhang Yun is not sincere with him now, and it is useless to force him to stay. If he can keep people, he can't keep his heart. .
It's better to drive her out to starve and suffer, to know that she is well, and only then will she be willing to live in peace when she comes back.
Zhang Yun was dumbfounded, and walked out of the village in disgrace, not knowing whether to go to the base in the town or to another village.
Jiang Jun and Jiang Hong had a fight.
In the past, Aunt Jiang's preference for her younger son made her two older brothers dissatisfied.
This autumn harvest, Jiang Hong has been staying at home and not doing work, but he still flirts all day long, who will he show his face to?
Jiang Jun couldn't bear it anymore, mother, he was exhausted in the field, and he still couldn't eat enough when he returned home, but my mother gave his younger brother a small stove, and his girlfriend was still having an affair with his younger brother, treating him as a dead person?
Jiang Hong was also full of anger, and his health was broken. Taking one step and panting for three steps was already annoying enough, and his girlfriend became an older brother.
The two brothers hated each other and started fighting at the dinner table.
After beating Jiang Jun, he went to the kitchen and dragged a few bags of millet and corn back to his house. He wanted to separate the family.
Jiang Wei also carried a few bags of millet back to his house. He looked at the crying old woman and said, "Mom, I'm also old enough to start a family. I have to raise a wife and children in the future. Do you understand what I mean?"
Aunt Jiang's family cried in a panic: "Boss, don't you care about mom anymore?"
"Mom, I will definitely support you, but there is no reason for an elder brother to raise a younger brother. Xiao Hong is almost thirty this year, isn't he almost three years old?"
"You're digging my mother's heart, Xiao Hong is in poor health and can't work."
Jiang Wei sighed: "Mom, look at my hands, look at Xiaojun's hands, and then look at the youngest's hands." His hands were covered with blood blisters when he repaired the wall, and Xiaojun was often injured while cutting rice. Skin and tender meat, why, they are not servants of the family.
The son was determined to separate the family, and Aunt Jiang's family had no choice.
I can only cry all day long, crying that my life is bad, and that my son is not filial.
Yan's ducks were also stolen.
The one who stole was Huang Haisheng.
He built the fence at the base for a long time and then returned to the village. In his words: Damn, I don't treat people like people, but like animals.
Granny Huang's heart ached so badly, her grandson was her heart and soul, and she was reluctant to command him, so she was not willing to let others learn.
Go home and go home, anyway, I can still do it, and the family doesn't need children to suffer and suffer to earn food.
So Qiushou was the only ones working in the field with her and her daughter-in-law.
The two women worked slowly, and they were still cutting the rice slowly after others had harvested it.
Huang Haisheng, a strong and strong young man, is at home with peace of mind.
At home, Huang Haisheng doesn't do any housework. He puts his dirty clothes in the basin for his mother to wash, and waits for his grandma to prepare the meals before he gets out of bed and eats.
The field is too busy, and Granny Huang is also tired, so she cooks perfunctorily. When she gets home, she often cooks porridge casually and grabs some kimchi to deal with it.
Huang Hai was so raw that a bird could fade out of his mouth.
But his family has nothing but rice, sweet potatoes and potatoes, and there are no raw materials to improve the food.
He just wandered around the village all day, staring at other people's livestock.
First of all, he stole the eggs, and after several times of stealing, Aunt Xiaofen didn't find out before he came up with the idea of ducks.
Then he was caught by Yan Qingyang.
Yan Qingyang started yelling on the spot, and many villagers came to watch. Granny Huang also ran over when she heard the movement.
She cried and patted her grandson a few times: "There is no shortage of food at home, why do you do such a thing?" The embarrassment is small, if it gets out, which family will dare to marry the girl into the Huang family in the future?
Huang Haisheng froze his head and said nothing.
Yan Qingyang scolded very vigorously just now, but when Granny Huang came, he shut his mouth. Granny Huang is an elder, so she has to be respected.
Aunt Xiaofen doesn't even know how to swear. The child who graduated from high school is younger than her son, so she can't swear: "Grandma Huang, what do you think about today's incident?"
Granny Huang looked at the duck on the ground, it was already dead: "You say the number, I will pay."
The Huang family didn't have a duck for her. She took good care of this duck for several months, and it was killed when it started laying eggs. No matter how much it was compensated, she would not feel comfortable: "Thirty catties of rice."
Granny Huang thought it was too expensive, and Aunt Xiaofen thought it was too cheap, so they refused to return it.
Things froze.
After talking for a long time, Granny Huang paid fifteen catties of rice, and the dead duck went to Aunt Xiaofen.
Those who were compensated were unwilling, and those who were compensated were also dissatisfied.
After returning home, Huang Haisheng was scolded by his mother. Granny Huang quit and had another fight with her daughter-in-law.
Aunt Xiaofen took the dead duck back and slaughtered it, disemboweled it, plucked its hair and cleaned it.
The duck was strangled to death, the blood was held in the meat and the smell was very strong.
Wei Yan brought a small bag of Xingu to Aunt Xiaofen to exchange for two duck legs.
Fresh meat, it's been a long time since I ate fresh meat.
It doesn't matter if the fishy smell is heavy, just put more aniseed ingredients to suppress it.
He dug out a bag of marinade and marinated two duck legs.
Simmer on low heat for an afternoon.
The whole yard is filled with the smell of brine.
Turn off the heat until chopsticks can easily poke into the meat.
After the fire was turned off, the duck legs were not taken out immediately, but soaked in brine, and then fished out when eating.
Wen Ruzhe packed his things and came back early.
Now he only works in the orchard for one or two hours a day, and spends the rest of the time at home with his wife.
It gets dark early as the temperature drops.
The two lit a few scented candles and had a candlelight dinner in the house.
One big duck leg in a bowl for one person.
In the center of the table, place a plate of small green vegetables.
Wei Yan gnawed on the duck leg until his mouth was full of oil, it was much tastier than bacon.
Wen Ruzhe chewed all the bones and ate them. After eating, he licked his fingers longingly, and looked in the direction of the duck cage in the backyard: "Yanyan, our ducks can be eaten too."
His ducks are so fat that their stomachs are mopping the floor, and their buttocks flick when they walk.
Wei Yan was also greedy, and after thinking about it, he shook his head: "No, save the eggs."
"Aren't there two males? The males don't lay eggs."
"The males are reserved for breeding."
Fine.
Wen Rujuan felt a little regretful.
"Open the door, open the door." The courtyard door was clattered.
"Who is it?" Wen Ruzhu was a little dissatisfied with being so rude.
"Open the door quickly, we are from the town."
As soon as Wei Yan heard this, he quickly stuffed the unfinished duck legs into the cupboard, opened the window for ventilation, and pushed the dog man to open the door.
Wen Ruzhe got up reluctantly, and opened the door to see two soldiers in camouflage uniforms: "What's the matter?"
"Your village is now under the management of our dawn base."
What do you mean, what is the base, the one in the movie?
Wen Ruxuan was dumbfounded: "No, brother, speak slowly, why didn't I understand?"
"I said, a base has been set up in the town, called the dawn base, do you understand?"
Wen Ruxuan: "Yes."
"Your village is now under the jurisdiction of our base, understand?"
Wen Ruxuan: "Yes."
"The meaning of being included in the jurisdiction of our base is that it will be protected by our base in the future."
Wen Ruxuan: "Yes."
"Protection can't be done in vain. The security guards in the community have to be paid. It's only natural for us to charge some protection fees, right?"
That's not right, why is there no reason to charge protection fees, Wen Rujue just wanted to refute, but was squeezed to the back.
Wei Yan already knew that there was such a rule, so it was easy to accept: "How do you accept it?"
I guess it was because I had talked too much with the villagers before, and I was not used to suddenly meeting two soldiers who cooperated: "Everyone between the ages of five and 55 pays 55 catties of millet. If there is no millet, you can use other grains to pay for it. Under five years old and those over [-] years old will be halved."
Wei Yan asked: "How often do you pay?"
"One year."
"Can I pay in monthly installments?" Who knows how the rules will change in a few days, if this base is killed by other bases within a few days, then the payment will be for nothing.
The two soldiers were a little hesitant, no one had asked this question before, and the aunts and aunts who just said that they would have to pay the fee cried and cried, and they had to be forced to dig out the wooden warehouse before they would be quiet.
Even when he calmed down, he still had the attitude of asking for food or not.
In fact, they have traveled through so many villages, and they also know that this year's harvest is not good, and every household has to plan to eat, and if they don't pay attention, they will run out of food.
But they also have to eat. Compared to being hungry themselves, of course they choose others to be hungry.
The tall soldier replied honestly: "The leader didn't mention this question, I have to go back and ask."
"Are you going to be responsible for collecting our village's grain in the future?" Wei Yan asked again.
"Yep."
"Have you had dinner yet?"
"not yet."
"Come in for some food, there's nothing good to eat, so don't dislike them." Wei Yan enthusiastically invited the two into the room, and they got to know each other first before inquiring about the news.
Both the tall soldier and the short soldier smiled sincerely. Today, they are lucky to have an extra meal, and they have already digested what they ate at noon.
Wen Ruzhu: "..."
The smell of duck meat in the room had dissipated, but the aroma of marinade was still wafting. Wei Yan scraped off the bottom of the pot, barely scooped out two small bowls of rice, and poured a large spoonful of marinade on the rice.
The two soldiers swallowed droolingly, at least it was a little bit less, but it was delicious.
Wei Yan smiled and handed them chopsticks: "Are there any other bases nearby?"
The two soldiers ate without looking up: "No, our boss cleaned up everything."
"Is there a market in your base?"
"Yes, there are many furniture sellers."
"What about the sellers of meat and vegetables?"
"There are no meat sellers, but there are a few that sell vegetables." The leaders of the base are short of meat, so how could they still sell it in the market: "Why do you ask this?"
"I want to eat meat."
Who wouldn't?They gnaw their elbows in their dreams.
