With a Door In Mind

At noon, I eat rice cooked with corn mixed with it.

Steamed some squash on top.

Stewed potatoes, fried green peppers with leeks, beans, fried pickles and a scrambled egg.

The beans and scrambled eggs are two temporary dishes.

Because the ration of meat for this month has already been eaten.

Fortunately, the dishes are still a little oily, after all, the oil he sent can be stored for a long time.

It is estimated that Yang's mother was reluctant to cook.

Zhou Xiaochuan was also quite relieved to see Xiaomi eating happily with pickles, at least he was not picky about food.

If he was picky eaters in this age, he would be troubled. .

The pickles are potherb mustard, fried with a little red pepper, and a little sesame oil on top, so the taste is still very fragrant.

After eating at noon, I left the little guy at home.

Xiaomi is also happy to play with the two little guys.

He left on his bike.

Find a place where no one is around, let the bicycle out, and walk in the direction of Jiangtai Village.

There are cornfields everywhere. At this time, a lot of corn has formed very large cobs.

This year should be a bumper year.

And there are some people inside who are busy in the cornfield.

The entrance of Jiangtai Village.

Back to this familiar and strange place again.

Because here, he would come here every half a year or so when delivering things to grandma and sister-in-law.

Haven't been here yet this year.

But he didn't go in, and went directly to his grandmother and sister-in-law's house.

I didn't reminisce about the old days there, I gave something to each of the three families,

After sitting and chatting for a while, he went back.

By the time we returned to this place, it was too late.

Then he walked towards Jiang Dingzhong's house.

But at this time, there are no people in the village, and the autumn harvest will be a month away. People are weeding, watering and topdressing the fields.

When passing by his new home, the door was locked.

And those weeds in the yard have been cleaned up, and the popularity has been restored.

It is some mottled on the outer wall.

Did not go in to see.

When he came to Jiang Dingzhong's house, he ran into Aunt Cuihua who had just come back.

The other party was wearing blue-gray denim clothes, which were covered with patches.

His face was covered with wrinkles, and half of his hair had turned white, black and white.

Zhou Xiaochuan shouted, "Aunt Cuihua!"

Hearing the words, the other party turned around and saw Zhou Xiaochuan behind him, surprised for a while.

"Hey, Xiao Chuan, you're here! Are you going to see your grandma?"

Zhou Xiaochuan carried his things and walked over with a smile, "Yes, passing by, come and see Uncle Jiang."

Seeing this, the other party complained, "You kid, don't bring him something every time you come here, just wait a moment."

After speaking with a smile, she looked around and saw a few children playing not far away.

She yelled at the children, "Er Niu, go and call your Fifth Grandpa and Uncle Tiedan back, and tell them there are people at home."

A ten-year-old boy among the children agreed, "Okay, fifth wife."

After finishing speaking, the other party ran towards the field barefoot.

Several other children were looking at Zhou Xiaochuan curiously.

Aunt Cuihua then turned around and said to Zhou Xiaochuan, "Let's go in, it's too hot outside."

After speaking, he took the lead in pushing open the door of the yard.

When he came to the main room, Aunt Cuihua greeted him, "Sit down for a while. I'll pour you a glass of water."

"Auntie, don't do it. I'm not thirsty."

"How can you not be thirsty on such a hot day, why are you being polite to your aunt!" After finishing speaking, he went directly to pour water.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan didn't say anything.

Sitting in the main room, after a while, the pair brought out an enamel jar. Looking at the color, there was a lot of brown sugar in it.

Now the village is still growing sugarcane. Although the output is not as high as before, there are still a lot of harvests.

So now the village is not particularly short of sugar.

Not long after, the sound of footsteps came from outside, and then a young man walked in from outside.

The height is about 1.78 meters.

It was Jiang Dingzhong's youngest son, Tie Dan.

Now the other party is no longer the little guy with a snot hanging from his nose, he is already a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old.

Seeing Zhou Xiaochuan sitting on the big bench, the other party smiled and said, "Brother Xiaochuan, I knew it was you when I heard Er Niu say that someone came from home."

Zhou Xiaochuan stood up and smiled, "Go to my grandma and the others, come and have a look."

Tie Dan laughed when he heard the words.

Before the two could speak, Jiang Dingzhong entered the yard carrying a hoe, and the other side leaned the thing against the wall.

Only then did he walk in, "Come here?"

Jiang Dingzhong came in to say hello, and while washing his face, he said, "Did you just arrive?"

"Yeah, just here."

Jiang Dingzhong hummed, washed his face, and said to him: "Have you received the letter? Your house is a little better in the village. We can only use your house as a primary school."

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he heard the words, "Uncle Jiang, I have no objection to being a school,"

After finishing speaking, he looked at him. At this time, Jiang Dingzhong's hair was also gray.

There are also many wrinkles on the face.

Jiang Dingzhong nodded upon hearing this.

"Well, that's good! When the educated youths came to your house, I didn't let them live in it. I just went to get it when I was running a school."

After finishing speaking, he asked, "If you have no objection, I'll knock down the inner wall and make a big classroom."

"It's okay, just figure it out for yourself."

Jiang Dingzhong smiled when he heard the words, "Okay, I will do it when the farming is slack."

Thinking of something, he smiled at Zhou Xiaochuan and said, "By the way, Tie Dan is getting married after the Chinese New Year. If you have time, if you don't mind, come over and have a drink."

Hearing Jiang Dingzhong's words, Zhou Xiaochuan was surprised, and looked at Tie Dan next to him, "Yes, Tie Dan, are you settled?"

It seems that Tie Dan is only 18 or 19?

Turning over the New Year seems to be 20, and this age is almost the same in rural areas.

Tie Dan nodded when he heard the words, a little embarrassed. "Well, it's settled, the eighth day of the eighth day."

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled and said, "This is a good thing, but Uncle Jiang, I guess I won't be able to come."

Then he told the situation.

Originally, he wasn't going to say it, but after thinking about it, if he didn't explain it, he would think he looked down on people.

Jiang Dingzhong was surprised when he heard this, but he also knew something about the things in the city.

He said indifferently: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you can't come. I'll make it up next time I have a chance."

He himself didn't expect Zhou Xiaochuan to come here, after all, the short distance from the provincial capital to here is not very convenient.

Zhou Xiaochuan nodded, originally wanted to get something from the space.

Think about it or forget it, and I will push it back and forth in a while.

The three sat and chatted for a while

Know the general situation of the village.

Feeling that it's almost time, I prepared to leave, "Uncle Jiang, it's getting late, I'll go back first."

Jiang Dingzhong complained when he heard the words: "Don't go, we two have a drink tonight."

"That's right, brother Xiao Chuan, let's go after eating." Tie Dan also said next to him when he heard the words.

Zhou Xiaochuan smiled when he heard the words, "Uncle Jiang, I'm not being polite, I have something to do tonight. I will definitely do it next time."

The two nodded upon hearing the words. Since there is something to do, they can't force them to stay.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaochuan took out two green salt water bottles from the cloth bag on the table. Handed it to Jiang Dingzhong.

"Uncle Jiang, please give Uncle Jiang a bottle of this wine. This is medicinal wine. Both you and Aunt Cuihua should drink some, but don't drink too much."

Inside is wine with space spring water added.

After finishing speaking, he explained, "Uncle Jiang, this stuff is very rare in Kyoto, so don't give it to others."

Jiang Dingzhong looked at the two bottles of wine in Zhou Xiaochuan's hand, and then at the cloth bag on the table. He didn't know what was inside, but he knew it must be something to eat.

Then complained: "Every time you come here, you bring something, you can't finish it or something."

Zhou Xiaochuan teased after hearing the words, "Yes, Uncle Jiang, I really can't finish it."

Hearing Zhou Xiaochuan's teasing, Jiang Dingzhong nodded his hand helplessly, "You kid. All right, I'll take the things."

When Aunt Cuihua heard that Zhou Xiaochuan was going to leave, she came out of the kitchen and persuaded him a few times, but seeing that Zhou Xiaochuan still wanted to leave, she stopped persuading him.

Zhou Xiaochuan greeted several people with a smile and left.

Jiang Dingzhong looked at the back of Zhou Xiaochuan leaving, turned his head, looked at the things on the table, and said to his wife: "Put away the things Xiaochuan brought."

He thought that what Zhou Xiaochuan brought should be food.

Because every time he came over, he brought a little meat and food.

Aunt Cuihua nodded when she heard the words, and was about to take the cloth bag to the kitchen.

But just as she mentioned it in her hand, she exclaimed, "Oh, it's so heavy, what's in it?"

After speaking, he opened the bag.

Both Jiang Dingzhong and Tie Dan looked over when they heard the words.

I was surprised when I saw the contents of the bag.

Because there are not many types in the bag, there are only two types, but it should be three types.

A five-jin wine jar, inside is ordinary grain wine.

A large piece of pork hind leg.

It was pickled, and it weighed about twenty catties when lifted.

There are still a few tickets left.

Aunt Cuihua picked up a few tickets and looked at them, and looked at Jiang Dingzhong in surprise, "Dingzhong, it's a cloth ticket, and it's 9 feet long."

Jiang Dingzhong looked at the cloth ticket in his hand, and then looked at the contents in the bag.

After a moment of silence, he said slowly: "Put it away, it happens to be available when Tie Dan gets married."

Tie Dan was delighted when he heard the words, so that he could get a new set of clothes when he got married.

Aunt Cuihua looked at Jiang Dingzhong.

Seeing this, the other party shook his head lightly, "Okay, that's it."
