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

To be precise, when Ya'er was about to wake up, she was woken up by the ear-piercing screams of two fat-bellied domestic pigs outside the yard under the butcher's knife.Not only the sound of slaughtering pigs, but also the crowing of old hens and young roosters before they die.

This year, the Du family can be described as having four happy occasions.Coupled with the filial piety of his children and grandchildren, Grandpa Du's pocket is quite thick.Therefore, Grandpa Du patted his chest early, and the three-day running water feast must be held in Fengsheng.

Except in winter, I bought two wild boars from the village and smoked them early.Even the Lashan pheasants and wild rabbits that the villagers had left over in their homes were well prepared.

Not only did he prepare the wild game from the mountains, Grandpa Du also ordered two big fat pigs from the pig farms in the village based on the principle of not letting the fat water flow out to the fields.The old hens, little roosters and big fat ducks that the villagers planned to get some pocket money from the market at the end of the year were also settled by Grandpa Du early on. [

As for vegetables and radishes, mushrooms and fungus, shallots and garlic, there is no shortage of them in the countryside.Qinghe Bay is basically semi-self-sufficient, and even the tofu and vermicelli are produced and sold by the villagers themselves.

Everyone in the countryside is diligent. Although it is winter, when the sky just dawned, the villagers who came to help were already busy.

Two big fat pigs had to be killed, and a cage of chickens and ducks had to be slaughtered.However, there is a lot of help, and there is no need to prepare in advance.These also have to go into one's own stomach, so there is no such thing as freshness that is eaten and slaughtered.

While standing in the well and brushing his teeth, Ya'er poked his head around the outside surrounded by a group of milk babies, and covered his ears with his other hand from time to time, so he was in a hurry.

This little look of being startled, frightened, and impatient to take a look, made the old men and old ladies laugh.

"This girl Ya'er has grown up, but her courage is getting smaller and smaller!" Grandma Du explained the inside story to a few old men who didn't know the inside story, "You don't know, in the past, our village used to kill pigs, and our Ya'er would do it every time. Standing at the front, without blinking."

Grandma Du said, gesturing to her waist, "When Ya'er was so big, big slices of pork were delicious! It's not like now, eating a meal is like a kitten. Look, she With a small physique, not many old ladies can eat it!"

The old men heard the words that Grandma Du said were interesting.However, when Grandma Du talked about Ya'er's appetite, several old men all echoed and supported Grandma Du's statement.

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

The countryside is huge, and Du's family is at the end of the village. Except for the ten large tile-roofed houses newly built by Du's father and Du's second uncle, there is only an open space.At this moment, the big pot and stove are set up, and the thick rice porridge is boiling.

The Du Haoyu brothers led a dozen or so good guys, and arranged tables, chairs and benches.Father Du and the second uncle of the Du family were in charge of overall arrangements, and Du Jianshe led his two cousins ​​to fetch cigarettes for the villagers who were helping, and let them recognize each other by the way.

Du Ma and the Du family's second aunt and sister-in-law, compared to the aunts and aunts who are busy working around the stove, are more relaxed.

As for Ya'er, she became a doll's head again, only responsible for stuffing the sweets and snacks that Mama Du brought out early into the pockets of the nurses one by one.

Breakfast is very simple, thick boiled rice porridge, large steamed buns with thin noodles, big meat buns, fragrant pickles mixed with sesame oil, and a pot full of red-skinned boiled eggs.If anyone is hungry, he can go to the stove to serve a bowl of porridge and eat a big meat bun.

However, it is obvious that compared to the pots of chicken, duck and fish that have been cleaned up, the meat buns are obviously not attractive enough for children.This time, I will be hungry first, so that I can make room.Grandpa Du said that chicken, duck and fish are enough.

When Grandpa Du and the others started to eat breakfast slowly with a bowl of hot rice porridge in their hands, the group of milk babies had candies in their pockets and eggs in their hands, and they didn't know where to continue to make trouble. The chickens and cats in the village have gone.

As a guest, Wang Zhiguo didn't have to follow along.This moment, because Du Haoyu and the others were all busy, they didn't greet him, but instead had the opportunity to have dinner at the same table with the old men.

However, Wang Zhiguo's performance was obviously not good.Because my body is delicate and my flesh is expensive, my wrist still hurts from chopping wood yesterday, so I can only hold the chopsticks tremblingly.Moreover, the corners of his eyes twitched non-stop when he saw the pots of chicken, duck, fish, and delicacies in the yard.

It's true that the village can't be judged by its appearance. I didn't expect such a poor mountain to hold a wedding banquet so ostentatiously.When I got married, the specifications were considered high, but the banquet was not so rich. [

What frightened Wang Zhiguo the most was the alcohol and tobacco on the table of the Eight Immortals in the yard.The most conspicuous ones are all specially provided by the military, and even my old man may not be able to drink them normally.

Except for those special cigarettes and alcohol with special labels, the rest are in tadpole text, which is incomprehensible.Grandma's, can't it be foreign tobacco, wine, sugar and tea?

Wang Zhiguo guessed right, those cigarettes and alcohol were also from the General Assembly of the United Nations.There is sorghum wine brewed by the villagers of Qinghe Bay, and there is special wine for the army. The rest is full of tadpole writing, but it is specially consigned by Mr. Edward, who is rich and powerful, from country m.

Mr. Edward, who is poor and only has money left, can only use these to express his gratitude for the leisurely life in China for half a year.In the ordinary life, there is another kind of warmth and peace.Mr. Edward, a capitalist, knows very well that he will have more time to continue to feel the taste.

Of course, it was rare to have the opportunity to eat at the same table with the old general. Although Wang Zhiguo did not perform well, he did not lose much.Because, because Wang Zhiguo couldn't talk to the old men at all.

No matter how well Wang Zhiguo concealed it, the rolling eyes were nothing in front of mature old men.

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

The outside of the courtyard was smoky. Although they all had a strong meaty smell, they didn't smell very good when mixed together.

The folks are quick and nimble. Although they can't prepare any exquisite dishes, they can't help them with the original home-cooked dishes.

Moreover, in the past few years, I ate a big pot of rice, but now I am busy with work, and the division of labor is quite clear.The village chief, who is about to embrace his great-grandson, is still unwilling to obey his old age. The majesty of a village chief is brought out, and the villagers are more efficient in doing things.

It was less than eleven o'clock at noon, and hot meals were about to come out of the pan on the red tongue of fire.

Grandpa Du was about to greet several respected elders in the village to sit on the kang in the house, but there was already enough space in his stomach, and the nipples who were circling around a few cauldrons were sharp-eyed. The family's tricycle ran faster, and the more ostentatious car entered Qinghe Bay.

Small cars, in the eyes of the folks in Qinghewan, are definitely rare gadgets. In the past, the folks only saw them on TV.At most, the industrious folks who went to the county, occasionally saw such a car or two in the county.

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

The meals are all ready, and they will enter their stomachs sooner or later.However, this little sedan chair is not something you can see if you want to.

On the relatively old sedan chair at the head, one got off first, and the few folks who saw it were stunned.

The old village chief hurried forward, "Major Wang, why did you come to our Qinghe Bay?" In Qinghe Bay, the old village chief had the most contacts with the commune and knew best. If you love being an official, you have to correct your own attitude.

However, Township Chief Wang's attitude surprised the old village chief almost through his reading glasses. When did Township Chief Wang become so approachable?

The thick and calloused hands of the old village head were tightly held by the head of the village, and then he heard the head of the village greet him enthusiastically, "Old village head, is there a happy event in our village today?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the old village head to answer, he added another sentence, "By the way, is there a family named Du in Qinghe Bay? Has an old man named Zhai visited their house recently?"

"That's right!" Although the rare enthusiasm of the village head Wang made the old village head very excited, but after thinking about it, he knew what was going on.The old village chief hurriedly dragged Father Du who was next to him, and introduced, "Major Wang, in Qinghe Bay, the family of Du Jianguo is surnamed Du. Old man Zhai lives in Du Jianguo! In the past two days, Du Jianguo has Congratulations, folks, aren’t you helping to make things happen!”

When the head of Wang heard the old village head's words about the old man Zhai, cold sweat almost broke out on his forehead.Even the governor wanted old General Zhai to be respectful, but when the old village chief said it, he became old man Zhai. [

However, after hearing the old village chief's introduction to Father Du, his face was filled with joy, and he quickly shook hands with Father Du, "Comrade Jianguo, on behalf of the commune, sincerely thank you and your family for your hospitality to General Zhai! By the way, I don't know about General Zhai." Where is it now? Today, our governor and the political commissar of the provincial military region came here specially to visit Old General Zhai! Of course, our county party secretary also came together!"

The folks who watched the excitement heard this, except for the ignorant milk babies, everyone else couldn't help feeling embarrassed.A few aunts and aunts who had just finished working on the stove subconsciously rubbed their hands back and forth with their aprons.As long as the head of the township, everyone can still gather around to watch the excitement.However, the secretary of the county party committee, the governor, the political commissar, etc., everyone should stay away.

The common people's respect for officials will never change.As for Old General Zhai's accident, whoever made us blind, whoever made that old man Zhai like to get together and chat with them.

The county magistrate was not as good as the present, and the villagers in a circle unconsciously took two steps back.At this moment, those in the two cars behind couldn't wait any longer, and they all got out of the car and walked over.

At first glance, the momentum was not ordinary, and the villagers were so scared that they all shrank away.Except for the mature old village head, only Du Dae was left in charge.

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

"Comrade Jianguo, right? I heard that Comrade Jianguo is good at teaching his children, and the juniors in his family are all college students. He is really awesome!" The middle-aged man, dressed in a neat Chinese tunic suit and even more official, took the initiative to say hello to Father Du.Obviously, he knows the Du family well.

Father Du was a little dazed. It is said that he has seen bigger officials in the capital, so there is nothing to be afraid of.However, Father Du is an ordinary person in his heart, so he really doesn't know how to greet him.

Holding a tray in his hand, Di Yaohui, who was about to cook dinner for the old men, saw this, and hurried forward to relieve Du's father, "Uncle Du, why don't you let Governor Shen and Political Commissar Cao enter the house first to keep warm!"

Du Haoyu, who can be regarded as a cadre, also saw the movement here, and helped to make a rescue, "Father, let the guests enter the house first!"

The Zhai family is in the right position, and although Di Yaohui joined the army, it is impossible for him not to understand the domestic political situation, and he is well aware of the political situation in various provinces and cities.

Di Yaohui revealed his identity with a single word, and a bright light flashed in his eyes.This young man is calm and composed, his eyes are like knives, his waist is straight, and his every move is as if measured with a thread. He should be a dragon and a phoenix.According to the information, none of the younger generation of the Du family joined the army, did they?

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

When the governor was still thinking about Di Yaohui's identity, Political Commissar Cao had already exchanged greetings with Di Yaohui, "Boy Zhai, why did you come here for vacation with the old general!"

"Uncle Cao, you're here to pick up the old man who loves to go home!" Di Yaohui was not polite, "Governor Shen, Uncle Cao, Secretary Zheng, and Township Chief Wang, let's go into the house first! Uncle Du, take the guests in! Here, help you greet the folks!"

Di Yaohui didn't show respect for Du's father inside and outside of his words, it was also a reminder to uninvited guests.

And Father Du finally regained his composure, "Yes, let's get warm in the house first! Yaohui, don't forget to let the folks have dinner while it's hot!"

"Uncle Du, pack yourself! You can go into the house to greet the guests!" Di Yaohui couldn't laugh or cry, but he didn't forget to let Du Haoyu and the others enter the house to make them familiar.

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

The simple folks suddenly realized, no, the big guy has the biggest belly.Regardless of whether he is the county head or the governor, let's eat chicken, duck and fish first.

The nimble aunts and aunts immediately turned to remove the lid of the pot, smelling all kinds of meaty aromas, and the milk babies rubbed their stomachs, watching the big pot of meat, jumping up and down with joy.

Children of half age are already carrying trays, ready to go, ready to serve at any time.
