Portable Space: Red Age of Rebirth

This morning, Ya'er said it was a dream all night and she slept soundly until dawn, but that was actually not quite accurate.

To be precise, when Ya'er was about to wake up, she was awakened by the piercing screams of two fat-bellied domestic pigs, Mr. Guo, outside the yard. Not only the sound of killing pigs, but also the sound of old hens.

, the crow of the little cock before it dies.

This year, it can be said that the Du family is blessed with four blessings. Coupled with the filial piety of the children and grandchildren, Grandpa Du's pocket is quite thick. Therefore, Grandpa Du patted his chest early and made sure to prepare the three-day running water banquet in a prosperous way.

Except when winter comes, two wild boars shot by villagers are bought from the village and smoked early. Even the surplus pheasants, wild rabbits and other things that the villagers have at home are also prepared.

Not only did he prepare the wild game from the mountains, but Grandpa Du also ordered two big fat pigs from a pig-raising house in the village based on the principle of not leaving the fields. The villagers planned to take the old hens to the market at the end of the year and sell them for some pocket money.

The little rooster and the big fat duck were also settled by Grandpa Du early.[

As for vegetables, radishes, mushrooms, fungus, onions and garlic, there is no shortage of them in the countryside. Qinghewan is basically semi-self-sufficient, and even tofu, vermicelli and the like can be produced and sold by the villagers themselves.

People in the countryside are hardworking. Even though it is winter, when it gets dark, the villagers who come to help are already busy.

Two big fat pigs need to be killed, and cages of chickens and ducks need to be slaughtered. However, there are many helpers, so there is no need to prepare in advance. These have to be eaten in your own stomach, how can you eat them freshly and freshly slaughtered?

While standing by the well, Ya'er brushed her teeth and poked her head around to look outside, which was surrounded by a group of baby boys. She would also cover her ears with her other hand from time to time, so she was in a hurry.

The old man and the old ladies couldn't help but laugh at this little look that was frightened, frightened, and couldn't help but want to take a second look.

"Girl Ya'er, as she grows up, she becomes less and less courageous!" Grandma Du explained the inside story to a few old men who didn't know the inside story. "We don't know that in the past, our village used to kill the New Year pig, and our Ya'er would do it every time.

He stood at the front without blinking an eye."

Grandma Du said, while gesturing towards her waist, "When Ya'er was so big, the large slices of pork tasted delicious! It's not like now, eating a meal is like a kitten eating. Look, she is like this

With a small body, not many old ladies like you can eat it!"

The previous words of Grandma Du sounded interesting to the old men. However, when Grandma Du mentioned Ya'er's appetite, the old men all agreed and supported Grandma Du's statement.

When Ya'er saw that the criticism meeting was about to start again, she rinsed her mouth and ran outside the yard to watch the excitement.

The countryside is a big place, and the Du family is at the end of the village. Apart from the ten large tile-roofed houses newly built by Du's father and the second uncle of the Du family, there is just an open space. At this moment, the big pot and stove are set up, and the glutinous rice is boiling.

Porridge.

The Du Haoyu brothers led a dozen young men to arrange tables, chairs and benches. Du's father and the second uncle of the Du family were responsible for the overall arrangements. Du Jianshe led his two cousins ​​to take cigarettes to the helping villagers and let them recognize them again.

recognize.

Ma Du and the second aunt and sister-in-law of the Du family were actually more relaxed than the aunts and ladies who were busy working around the stove.

As for Ya'er, she became a baby again, only responsible for stuffing the sweets and snacks that Du Ma had brought out early into the pockets of the milk babies one by one.

Breakfast is very simple, including thick rice porridge, large steamed buns with thin noodles, large meat buns, fragrant pickles mixed with sesame oil, and a pot full of boiled red eggs. If you are hungry, you can come by yourself

Put a bowl of porridge on the stove and eat a big meat bun.

However, it is obvious that compared with the pots of chicken, duck and fish that have been packed away, the meat buns are obviously not attractive enough to the children. Now, let’s starve the belly first to make room. Grandpa Du said, chicken, duck and fish

Enough.

When Grandpa Du and the others started to eat breakfast with a bowl of hot rice porridge, the group of milk babies had candy in their pockets and eggs in their hands. They didn't know where to go to continue causing trouble.

All the chickens and cats in the village have gone.

As a guest, Wang Zhiguo did not have to follow the busy schedule. At this moment, because Du Haoyu and the others were all busy and did not greet him, they had the opportunity to eat at the same table with the old men.

However, Wang Zhiguo's performance was obviously not good. Because of his delicate body and expensive flesh, his wrists still hurt from chopping firewood yesterday. He could only hold the chopsticks tremblingly. Moreover, he saw pots of chicken, duck, fish and delicacies in the yard.

, the corners of his eyes kept twitching as he watched.

It’s true that a village cannot be judged by its appearance. I didn’t expect that a wedding banquet in such a poor mountain valley could be so grand. When I got married, the standards were considered high, but the banquet was not so sumptuous.[

What frightened Wang Zhiguo the most was the cigarettes and wine on the Eight Immortals table in the yard. The most conspicuous ones were specially provided by the military, and even his own father might not be able to drink them at ordinary times.

Except for those special cigarettes and alcoholic drinks with special labels, the rest are all in tadpole writing, which is incomprehensible. Grandma’s, aren’t they foreign cigarettes, alcoholic drinks, sweets and tea?

Wang Zhiguo guessed well. Those tobacco and alcohol were also produced by the United Nations General Assembly. There were sorghum wine brewed by the villagers of Qinghewan, and wine specially provided by the army. The remaining ones were filled with tadpole writings, but the wealthy Mr. Edward specially ordered them to be shipped from country m.

of.

Mr. Edward, who is poor and has only money left, can only use these to express his gratitude for the leisurely life in China for the past six months. In the ordinary life, there is other warmth and peace. Mr. Edward, a capitalist, knows very well that he will

There is more time to continue to appreciate the taste.

Of course, it was a rare opportunity to have dinner with the old generals at the same table. Although Wang Zhiguo did not perform well, he did not lose much. Because Wang Zhiguo failed to talk to the old men at all.

No matter how well Wang Zhiguo hides it, his darting eyes are nothing in front of these mature old men.

After breakfast, the old men put down their jobs and strolled outside to chat with the big brothers in Qinghewan.

It was very smoky outside the yard, and although it had a strong smell of meat, when mixed together, it didn't smell very good.

The villagers are quick and agile in their work. Although they cannot prepare very exquisite dishes, they can still make authentic home-cooked dishes.

Moreover, in the past few years, we had a big pot of rice. Now that we are busy, the division of labor is quite clear. The village chief, who is about to have his great-grandson, is still unwilling to obey his elders. The majesty of the head of the village is shown, and the villagers are more efficient in doing things.

High.

Before eleven o'clock at noon, the hot food was about to be cooked on the red flames.

Grandpa Du was about to invite several respected elders in the village to sit on the kang in the house, but there was already enough space in his stomach. The milk babies who were milling around a few big pots were sharp-eyed and saw three cars that were bigger than the village chief Grandpa.

The family's tricycle was running very fast, and the more elegant car entered Qinghe Bay.

Cars are definitely rare things in the eyes of the folks in Qinghewan. In the past, the folks had only seen them on TV. At most, the diligent folks who went to the county occasionally saw one or two cars like this in the county.

.

At this moment, three elegant sedans drove to Qinghe Bay, and the villagers who were preparing to have dinner couldn't help but stop.

The food is ready and goes into their bellies sooner or later. However, this little sedan cannot be seen just by looking at it.

The first person on the relatively old sedan got off, and the villagers were stunned to see it.

The old village chief hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Wang, why did you come to Qinghe Bay?" In Qinghe Bay, the old village chief had the most contact with the commune and knew the most about it. Although the commune chief Wang was a good official, he

If you love being an official, you should have a correct attitude.

However, Mayor Wang's attitude shocked the old village chief so much that he almost fell off his reading glasses. When did Mayor Wang become so down-to-earth?

The old village chief's thick calloused hand was held tightly by Township Chief Wang, and then he heard Township Chief Wang greeting him enthusiastically, "Old Village Chief, is there something happy in our village today?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the old village chief to answer, he added another sentence, "By the way, is there a family named Du in Qinghe Bay? Did their family have a guest named Zhai recently?"

"That's right!" Although the rare enthusiasm of Township Chief Wang made the old village chief very excited, once he thought about it, he knew what was going on. The old village chief quickly grabbed Du Daddy next to him and introduced, "Wang

Township head, our Qinghewan only has Du Jianguo’s family named Du. Old man Zhai lives in Du Jianguo! In the past two days, Du Jianguo has a happy event, and the villagers are helping to organize it!"

When Mayor Wang heard the old village chief's words about Old Man Zhai, he almost broke out in cold sweat on his forehead. He was really frightened. Even the provincial governor asked General Zhai to pay respect in front of him, but when the old village chief said it, he became Old Man Zhai.

.[

However, after hearing the old village chief introduce Du Daddy, his face was filled with joy, and he quickly shook hands with Du Daddy, "Comrade Jianguo, on behalf of the commune, I would like to sincerely thank our family for the hospitality given to Old General Zhai! By the way, I don't know about Old General Zhai.

Where are you now? Today, our provincial governor and the political commissar of the provincial military region came here specially to visit General Zhai! Of course, our county party committee secretary is also here!"

The villagers who were watching the excitement couldn't help but feel embarrassed when they heard this. A few aunts and ladies who had just finished working on the stove subconsciously rubbed their hands back and forth with their aprons. Only the mayor's words, everyone

Everyone can still gather around and watch the excitement. However, everyone should stay away from the county party committee secretary, provincial governor, political commissar, etc.

The common people's reverence for officials will never change. As for the accident involving Old General Zhai, we are blinded by the fact that Old Zhai loved to hang out with them and have fun with them.

It was better for the county magistrate to take charge now. The villagers who had formed a circle unconsciously took two steps back. At this moment, the people in the two cars behind couldn't wait any longer, so they all got out of the car and walked over.

At first glance, the momentum was different from the ordinary ones, and it scared the villagers away. Except for the experienced old village chief, the only one left in charge was Father Du.

As for the security guard who had been leisurely following Qinghe Bay for more than two months, he was now on full alert, with sharp eyes, and had already turned around quickly and returned to Du's house.

"That's Comrade Jianguo, right? I heard that Comrade Jianguo is good at educating his children. The younger generations in the family are all college students. They are really formidable!" A middle-aged man in a straight Mao suit, which showed more official power, took the initiative to say hello to Du. Obviously, he knew Du very well. Home.

Father Du was a little confused. Normally, he had seen bigger officials in the capital, so he shouldn't be afraid. However, Father Du, who was just an ordinary citizen at heart, really didn't know how to greet him.

Zhai Yaohui, who was holding a tray in his hand and preparing to serve the old men a meal, saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to relieve Mr. Du, "Uncle Du, why don't you let Governor Shen and Political Commissar Cao come in to warm themselves up first?"

Du Haoyu, who can be regarded as a cadre, also saw the movement and helped to save the situation, "Dad, let the guests enter the house first!"

Because of his position in the Zhai family, although Zhai Yaohui joined the army, it is impossible for him to not understand the domestic political situation, and he was well aware of the political structure of each province and city.

Zhai Yaohui revealed his identity with one word, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. This young man has a calm and calm demeanor, his eyes are like knives, his waist is straight, and his every move is as if measured with a line. He should be the winner. According to the information, None of the younger members of the Du family joined the army?

As for Political Commissar Cao, Zhai Yaohui was quite familiar with him because he was a soldier under Mr. Zhai back then.

While the governor was still thinking about Zhai Yaohui's identity, Political Commissar Cao had already started to greet Zhai Yaohui quickly, "Boy Zhai, why are you following the old general here for vacation!"

"Uncle Cao, we are here to take the carefree old man home!" Zhai Yaohui was not polite, "Governor Shen, Uncle Cao, Secretary Zheng, and Mayor Wang, let's go into the house first! Uncle Du, please bring the guests in! Here, I’ll help you greet the folks!”

Zhai Yaohui didn't show any respect for Du Daddy in his words, just to give the uninvited guests a warning.

Father Du finally came to his senses, "Yes, let's go inside first to warm up! Yaohui, don't forget to let the folks eat while it's hot!"

"Uncle Du, pack your bags! Just go in and greet the guests!" Zhai Yaohui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't forget to let Du Haoyu and the others come in to make them familiar.

After entering the yard and looking at the villagers who were hesitant to speak, Zhai Yaohui only said, "Aunts and ladies, dinner is ready! The sky is big, the earth is big, and our belly is the biggest!"

The simple villagers suddenly realized that it was not true that the big guys had the biggest belly in the vastness of the world. Regardless of whether he was the county magistrate or the provincial governor, he would eat chicken, duck, and fish in his belly first.

The aunts and ladies with quick hands and feet immediately turned around to lift the lid of the pot, and the fragrant smell of various meats made the naughty babies rub their bellies and jump with joy as they looked at the large pots of meat.

The young men were already carrying trays, ready to serve at any time.
