Chapter 9 After dinner and a drink, talk about the future
"San brother, what are you busy with? You can hear your ding-dangling house from a distance, and you thought you were building an atomic bomb at home?" Li Hongjun shouted from afar.
"Brother Third, I heard that Kang Xiaoba and his group were 'indisputed' with you this morning. I'm so lucky. I, Ma Leizi, went back early today, otherwise I would have to remove my bones." Lei Xiaotian continued, and when he spoke, his mouth muscles drove a few numb spots on his face, showing ferociousness.
"Come on, that group of people dared to blow up the thorns in front of the third brother. I borrowed some courage. In fact, the third brother was so idle that he was itchy and was trying to play with him." Sun Qianjin was speaking.
As soon as the few people entered the door, they started to talk. Li Hongjun was carrying a big red box in his hand, which was the one mentioned in Chen Mao in the morning. Lei Xiaotian caught a big red rooster with a bright red cockscomb and a fat body of about four or five kilograms. The big rooster was pinched to his throat and could not make a sound. The other six were not free, some were carrying wine, some brought peanuts and other wine dishes, which were the reserve supplies before the meal.
Before Xue Xiang could answer, the few people saw Xue Xiang's work and immediately burst into laughter. After all, the third brother had never been so disgraceful. Lei Xiaotian smiled the most proudly, and while laughing, he hit Sun Qianjin's shoulders. The clinker was so proud that he loosened his hands and the big rooster ran away.
The big rooster escaped from the clutches of the demon, and ran wildly. His bloated body was extremely light at this moment. It turned into a bird, spreading its wings, and flew to the roof. Seeing that the big rooster had not bowed his head and dared to escape from prison, the few people were not happy. They went to catch the rooster with all their hands and feet. This was the main dish at noon. The big rooster met this group of desperate people who had forgotten their lives. It was considered a disaster. Several guys moved the ladder to the room, flew the eaves and walls, set up nets in all directions, and caught it back. They fell into the claws of the demon again. The big rooster seemed to have accepted his fate, and waited for death with his head hanging down.
"Third brother, why did you set up the table by yourself?" Kang Tong asked. Among the few people, he was the dullest and taciturn.
"There is a dining table at home, and I'm idle, so I'm still free. I'm going to play one by myself. Who knows that a small table is so difficult to deal with, and I'm tired and sweaty, and I've made such a defective product." Xue Xiang smiled.
"Stern brother, you really like trouble. If you want a table, find me. My second uncle is the director of Hualian Wooden Factory. If you want to greet me, you can just carry these tables and chairs. You can't just carry them directly. These things in their factory cannot be sold out and thrown everywhere." Sun Qianjin continued.
"Yes, you kid are capable, so let's get one for me now. No, make two, a square table and an empty hot pot table. Let's have hot pot at noon." Xue Xiang ordered.
Sun Qianjin took the task and greeted Liu Yuanchao. After arranging their tasks, Xue Xiang took out the iron and coal stove in the grocery pile, asked Li Hongjun to be responsible for making the fire, and dragged out a lot of vegetables for two people to pick the vegetables. Lei Xiaotian saw the opportunity quickly, picked up the big rooster and went to the washing sink to kill the chicken. Kang Tong and Zhu Shijun immediately had a bitter face, and they all heard in their hearts: It is better to act first, and then act later to suffer, so let Ya take the lead.
It was almost noon, and after a few people worked together, Xue Xiang's kitchen finally heard a burst of meaty fragrance. Nine large and one small, ten chairs were placed around the table, and a net bag filled with vegetables, a large pot of rice, and several bowls and chopsticks were placed on the table. In the middle of the table was a round hole, and a coal stove was placed under the round hole. A large wok was placed on the coal stove. The potato and pig trotters in the pot were filled with the soup line, and the soup line was almost at the edge of the pot. The damper of the coal stove was wide open, and the fire was strong, and the stewed potato and pig trotters were rumbling. The soup was turbid and dark red, and it was obviously added with a lot of chili peppers, which made the stew taste good and boiled the grease. The stove not far away did not turn off. At this time, the open flame had been burned out, and the dark fire was used to cook the chicken in the pot at the temperature.
Xue Xiang was most afraid of trouble and didn't cook. He just stewed two pots of meat with potatoes and radish with pork legs and roosters. He put the washed vegetables on the side of the pot and added them directly when they wanted to eat them. After the soup, they were ready to eat.
Xue Xiang and his group surrounded the small round tables so that they were not airtight. Xiao Shi squeezed between Xiao Wan and Xue Xiang, holding the small flower bowl in his small hand, placing it on the edge of the table, staring straight into the pot with big eyes.
Xue Xiang said "start", and no one talked, and ten pairs of chopsticks were inserted into the pot almost instantly. Xiao Shi was not willing to fall behind and aimed at the largest lean meat. As soon as Xue Xiang finished speaking, the little guy grabbed the piece of meat. He couldn't wait to put it in the small flower bowl and cooled for a while. He blew his little mouth and put it next to his mouth to bite it.
The little guy is like this, and everyone is even more rude. Everyone moves their hands very quickly. They push chopsticks into their mouths, and there is only a bowl in the middle. Everyone is fighting for the first place, and they are afraid of falling behind. For a moment, the dining table is like a battlefield, with clouds rolling in battle and "smoke of gunpowder" permeating.
Xiaoshi's mouth is short, her lips are thin and tender, and her flesh is hot, so she is particularly afraid of being hot. Although she is embarrassed, she is really not happy. The little guy is gnawing on the bones and stares at the pot. Whoever eats too fast will look at him, which means you are eating too miserable. Learn from me and eat slowly. But everyone is fighting with the bones, and no one cares about her stubble. Seeing the meat pieces being quickly eliminated, the little guy is a little anxious, throws his chopsticks and holds Xue Xiang's legs and shakes, meaning you don't care.
They were so ugly that they were eating. Xue Xiang looked at Xiaoshi's crotched mouth and frowning brows, and understood what the little guy was about to accuse him. He got up and took an empty bowl, picked up a few large pieces of chopsticks for her, piled up half a bowl, and let her eat while it was cold. In an instant, the little guy smiled happily and stopped shaking Xue Xiang. He turned around and dragged the bowl of meat in front of him. He didn't want the little flower bowl and no longer needed chopsticks. He just took it with his little hands and chewed it, so he didn't care whether he was eating more embarrassed than others.
One meal was filled with wind and clouds, and two large pots of delicious meat soup were also eaten by them. Everyone was really vegetarian. This time, they took the opportunity and wanted to eat the pot. Xiao Yi took off his clothes and the original two rows of ribs also stretched out a small belly. The battle was fierce and the results were unprecedented. He really achieved the effect of the pot, the rice, and soup. He ate it like he had just washed it, which completely replicated a "famous" policy formulated by Mr. Okamura Nagaji, the commander of the North China Expeditionary Army of Japan during the Anti-Japanese War.
After dinner, Xiaowan and Xiaoyi went back to the room for a nap, preparing to deal with the afternoon homework. Xiaoshi stayed on her back and hugged Xue Xiang's thighs, patted her belly with her hands to play the drums. After a while, she was sleepy and was held in Xue Xiang's arms. Everyone looked at Xue Xiang hugging Xiaoshi, and her head was a little unsteady. Xue Xiang knew that Xue Xiang was not close to his younger brothers and sisters, and they often complained in their hearts: the third brother is good, but he is too distant to his younger brothers and sisters, and he doesn't look like a big brother. However, these are Xue Xiang's family affairs, so they are not inconvenient to ask more questions. On weekdays, they are more like brothers and elder brothers than Xue Xiang, the older brothers. Now, seeing their brothers and sisters intimate, they are also happy for Xue Xiang.
After handing over a few small people, they put wine glasses and served with wine and vegetables. It was time to drink. There were not many dishes, a plate of salted peanuts, a plate of old broad beans, and a plate of potato chips, and they had just filled three small plates. They had always liked drinking this kind of poor wine. It was actually forced to say that they liked it. In this year, some people had a pound of sesame oil before the New Year, and after eating one year, they weighed one pound at the end of the year. What did you think? It turned out that every time they ate, they used chopsticks to point the sesame oil and then they would eat.
The few people started chatting while drinking. Xue Xiang asked first: "My brothers have graduated for more than half a year, so they can't wander around like this all day. Tell me what everyone has plans."
This topic was a bit heavy, no one responded for a while, and it took a while for someone to break the tranquility.
"I was going to join the army with the Red Army. I had no chance. Although my father released it, the problem was not concluded yet. The political review could not pass. It happened that the person in charge of the recruitment office was my father's old comrade-in-arms in the fourth field. After a drink with my father, I asked me to go there. Third brother, I never dared to tell you, yes..." Liu Yuanchao's voice became lower and lower, and gradually stopped talking. He felt a little sorry for everyone. Liu Yuanchao's father was the chief of staff of the B Division of the C Army. He had just been released from isolation and review, but he had not yet resumed his position and was idle at home. Everyone knew that Li Hongjun had gone to join the army. After all, his father was still in power, so it was almost an inevitable choice for him to join the army. Originally, Liu Yuanchao had not had a direction like everyone else, but now he suddenly said he was going to join the army. He felt a little sorry for Xue Xiang and the others, and he was a little unfair.
At that time, the way out for high school graduates was very narrow. Those who went to college were basically children of workers, peasants and soldiers, and they were recommended by organization. In addition, many universities were suspended due to the shortage of teaching staff (you can guess the reasons for the shortage yourself), so those who could go to college were definitely very rare. In addition, being a soldier, working as a worker, and going to the countryside to work is the mainstream way out for fresh graduates nowadays.
Let’s talk about joining the army first. The soldiers at this time are really the cutest people as Wei Wei praised. Wearing military uniforms, holding steel guns, and guarding the frontiers was almost the simplest and most beautiful wish of all young people at that time. In addition, there is also a reason that cannot be expressed in words. The road to the official career at this time was very narrow, and now all the party and army cadres are almost all military personnel. Being an official, no matter when or in any dynasty, is the most important way to shine the family and honor the ancestors, and it is also the highest pursuit in the hearts of ordinary people. Therefore, joining the army is the most promising and ideal way out now.
In addition to being a soldier, working as a worker in a factory is also an enviable profession for young people. After all, workers at this time were given the honorary titles of leadership class and master of the country. Once they entered the factory, they were given a job of iron rice, and they were guaranteed for drought and flood, and they were guaranteed in their lifetime. However, the number of workers at this time was also very tight. In addition to the technical workers assigned by the organization, the replacement of workers also adopted alternative hereditary. If the son wanted to go to work, I had to be laid off.
Finally, he went to the lineup. Most of the young people responded to the call of the leader and went to the countryside to receive re-education from poor and lower-middle peasants. If nothing unexpected happens, going to the countryside to go to the countryside to go to the countryside to be the destination of Xue Xiang's group of people.
"It's okay, you can find a good way out. Brothers are too happy, how can you blame you? You kid is not showing off and you have done it quietly, okay." Xue Xiang smiled and patted Liu Yuanchao on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Aiding Korea, I'm doing a good job. To be honest, how long have you been deceived by the organization? Brothers, what should I do when I encounter someone who conceals intelligence from the organization and makes small plans and has a weak gm's position?" Lei Xiaotian took a sip of wine and quipped.
