Reborn in the 70s / Reborn in 1978

At this time, green vegetables just appeared in winter in Northeast China, and ordinary people still couldn't afford them, but Zhang Xingming's family must have no pressure. The meat is red and the vegetables are green. Dad's cooking skills are quite extraordinary.

At this time, people in the Northeast celebrate the New Year, usually grilled elbows, sauced pork feet, roasted sea knives, braised pork, jelly skin, vinegar pork ribs, burnt pork, chicken stewed mushrooms, sauerkraut boiled white meat, fried prawns, croquettes, Spring dishes, ten or twelve dishes, that’s all. Life was hard at that time, and there were no green vegetables to eat, so the main thing to eat during the Chinese New Year was meat.

In addition to these, Zhang Xingming’s family also has the intestines filled by his father, egg sausage, meat sausage, mandarin duck sausage, pig’s head cake, blood sausage, and a dish that his father makes every year. I have seen it in other places. It is boiled and peeled eggs, cut into two pieces from the middle, and then the meat is chopped into puree for seasoning, made into something like meat sauce, put on the cut eggs, and trimmed into a circle. Shaped, one egg becomes two, and then steamed in a pan, the steamed water is poured with juice, it tastes very delicious.

But now there are half vegetables on the table in Zhang Xingming's house. Dad no longer cooks so much meat. He also made a soup. People in Northeast China seldom make soup.

As he was eating, Zhang Xingming thought, "I am rich, but I can't feel the New Year's mood in my previous life. Although I am happy and happy, I still feel that something is missing. After thinking for a long time, it is the feeling of being poor. The poor suddenly saw a The feeling of table meat.

(Let’s increase your collection, Amen, Virgin Mary, Amitabha, God Jesus, Jade Emperor, and fellow book friends.)

After dinner, mom and dad brought the panel into the house, the basin, meat, chopped celery, seasoning, ready to make dumplings, while watching the Spring Festival Gala while making dumplings, it is a repertoire of the [-]-night watch in the Northeast. In this way, the general New Year's Eve is filled with celery stuffing, which means getting rich through hard work.

Dad took out the hand-cranked meat grinder, fixed it and shook it while stuffing the meat. The minced meat was directly put into the basin, put the chopped celery, added seasonings, beat in two eggs, and stirred with chopsticks Ok, the dumpling stuffing is ready, put it aside and start kneading the noodles. After the noodles are kneaded, put it in a basin and cover it to wake up for a while. It tastes strong and delicious.

The liveliness on the TV was all about New Year's celebrations in various places. Zhang Xingming lamented that no matter what time it was, the TV was full of peace and joy.

Wake up, the whole family gathers around the panel, dad rolls the skin, Zhang Xingming and mom wrap it, brother also wraps it, but always wraps out all kinds of special shapes on purpose, I admire it there, my younger brother is just making trouble, no After a while, the whole body was covered with faces, and the faces were covered with lines, and it was a joy to play.

Wrapping it, my mother said to my father: "My mother wrote, saying that my brother sold their house and took her and my father to Pianling. I don't know what happened. I'm too busy this year. Take the time to check it out, why don't you go check it out in a year's time?"

Dad said: "That's not good. Your brother is doing well. He built a big house and bought a color TV. He must have taken your mother to enjoy the blessings. There is no way for the old man and the old lady to live in that ravine. Personal care, your brother is feeling sorry for your mother."

The old mother shook her head and said, "As far as your aunt's fucking thing is concerned, can my mother enjoy the blessing when she goes?"

My uncle's daughter-in-law is also surnamed Zhang, and she is a relative of my father's side who made Wufu. In terms of seniority, my father has to be called an aunt, so my mother always makes fun of my father because from my uncle's side, my father has to take care of me too. My mother is my aunt.

Zhang Xingming has been too busy for the past six months, and there are too many things. He didn't think about grandma's moving. At this time, he heard his mother mention it and remembered that he had forgotten grandma in his busy schedule. , leaving a white mark.

Mom looked over and asked, "What's wrong with Er Bao? Did you beat yourself up?"

Zhang Xingming said annoyedly: "I was so busy that I forgot about my grandma, am I not filial?"

Mom wiped her hands with a towel, reached out and wiped off the face on Zhang Xingming's forehead, and said, "How can it be, my second treasure is the most filial, she goes to school and earns money, so I'm too busy to forget about it, it's okay."

While rolling out the dough, Dad raised his head and asked, "What's wrong with your grandma?"

Zhang Xingming squeezed the dough on the panel with his hands, and said: "My grandma must have suffered a lot when I went to my uncle. I can't eat or drink. My aunt can't scold the street all day long. My sister is okay, but I can't say no." It won't do anything, Mom, let me tell you, quickly bring my grandma to our house, or my grandma will have to be tortured to death by my aunt."

My mother stopped what she was doing and thought about it: "It's not that bad, just like my sister-in-law, my mother and father will definitely not get any good money, and my brother is always on business trips."

Zhang Xingming sighed, nodded, and said: "That must be the case. So when they were in the sheepfold (place name), my grandma didn't do anything good, and the big house didn't say to take my grandma there. They went to make trouble once. Now we live together, with my aunt’s character, my grandma will definitely suffer, besides, my grandpa is not my own, so I don’t have much affection if I don’t live together, so it’s okay to get together? Mom, tell me, our family is like this now, no Don't you regret letting my grandma enjoy enough happiness?"

The mother sighed, was stunned for a long time, and said, "Take it, I'll pick up my parents in a few days, and it won't work if my brother doesn't agree."

In the rural areas of Northeast China, filial piety to the elderly is very important. Whose son does not support his mother, and whose mother takes care of his daughter's family?

In the previous life, after my uncle took my grandma, she became ill within a few days, so I wrote to my mother asking her to spend money on treatment. After repeated several times, my mother simply refused to let my grandma go back, but my aunt kicked my grandpa out too. , Grandpa and grandpa lived in Zhang Xingming's house for 16 years.

Uncle was pointed at the back and scolded. He himself felt that he couldn't hold his head up. He was still the leader of the town. Later, he finally asked the elder sister to coax grandma back.

As a result, within half a year after returning home, my grandma became critically ill. My mother got a trolley and ran to the side of the mountain to pick up my grandma. She lived in the hospital for two months and was cured. Then my uncle came again, crying and regretting. My grandma felt sorry for her son, so she Followed back again.

As a result, it failed again within two months. When my mother got there, my grandma was already dying and left after saying a few words. My aunt didn't write to my mother until the old lady was completely dead.

My mother later said that when she went there, she saw that grandma’s trousers and quilt were all wet and no one changed them. It was cold in winter, and my aunt would not give grandma water or food for fear of grandma’s bed-wetting. After eating three big oranges, my mother cried, saying how thirsty it was, and had a big fight with my aunt, who also scolded my uncle, and the two families never communicated again.

Zhang Xingming thought for a while and said, "Mom, you should think about it. If you go to pick up my grandma now, you and my uncle will immediately have a quarrel. Don't regret it."

My mother thought for a while, gritted her teeth, and said: "Sooner or later, I will pick you up. Let's say that the old couple will come and live for a while to enjoy the blessings. If he doesn't agree, I will scold him to death. Besides, I can't wait to see you like your aunt." of it.

When you were young, your uncle went out to work to earn money and brought it home when he was twelve or thirteen years old. He always thought that he was very filial, but he didn’t expect to become like this after marrying a daughter-in-law. Come on, let's go tomorrow. "

Zhang Xingming sighed, and said: "Mom, there is actually another way. I will give my uncle some money, a few million, and the condition is to treat my grandma well. Do you think it will work?"

My mother shook her head and said, "No, his family is not poor now. He is a leading cadre, and he takes tens of thousands of dollars from his family. How many houses in Pianling can build such a big house? How many of them buy big color TVs? Forget it, that’s the kind of person, seeing your grandma suffer even more if you have more money.

Besides, I won’t do it if I give that old woman money, she wants to go (meaning dreaming).

Pick it up tomorrow, it's settled. He raised his foot and kicked his father: "Do you want to pick it up?"What do you mean by not saying a word? "

Dad immediately raised his hands in surrender, showing a smiling face: "Pick it up, I'll pick it up tomorrow, if he doesn't raise us, I promise to raise the old lady until she is white and fat."

Mom stretched out her hand and wiped Dad's face, and said, "Why are you fat and fat? You treat my mom like a pig." The three brothers laughed, and Dad bowed his head and said nothing. tidy.

My mother began to think together: "How do I pick it up? Take the train? It's cold today, and I have to carry a lot of things. It's too much trouble. Let Zhao San get a car. Get a car to pick it up. Oh, no, it's in the car. There are only two people in the car, so you can’t freeze to death in the bucket, what’s the matter?”

Chapter 74

(Favorites, favorites, favorites, recommendation tickets are scattered in the fog, the comment area is waiting for people to click, rewarding rain, beautiful)

At that time, when it came to cars, the first thing that people thought of was the Great Liberation.At this time, Dad has been adjusted from the leadership position to the workshop team, as the team leader.

Dad looked at mom, kept a safe distance on one side of his body, and said, "Can Zhao San's dad take that jeep? Tell me you can borrow it."

Mom reached out to pinch Dad, but Dad was prepared but not enough. Mom gave Dad a look and said, "Jeep, it's better than Jiefang, but it's not cold, just a layer of cloth. Besides, it’s small, how many people can it sit? There are still things, why don’t you go by yourself? No, I don’t worry, is Er Bao able to do something?”

Zhang Xingming looked at his mother and said carefully, "I have a car."

My mother asked: "Do you have a car, what kind of car?" Then she came to her senses and looked up at Zhang Xingming: "Do you have a car? When did you get the car?" (Neng, read neng here, not nong)

Zhang Xingming said: "I went to Fengtian a few days ago. My second brother and I went to Xianggang to do some business, so we bought three cars from Xianggang."

"Going to Xianggang again, why is it so fast this time?" Mom asked.

"The round-trip plane will arrive in a few hours." Zhang Xingming lowered his head, and his voice became softer.

Mom stopped, looked at Zhang Xingming, then at Dad, and said, "It's really heaven."

Dad rolled the dumpling wrappers, without raising his head, and said, "I knew it, sooner or later, what's it like to fly?"

Zhang Xingming just laughed: "It's the same as taking a car, there is no difference, just hurry up, there are no turns and no traffic jams in the sky."

The younger brother held a piece of dough and stretched it out with a straight face: "Second brother, second brother, I want to go to heaven too."

Zhang Xingming wiped his hands, wiped his little face with a towel, and said, "Okay, grow up quickly, and the second elder brother will lead you to fly away." The younger brother screamed and jumped, holding up the dough and shouting: "I want to go to the sky." Hey, I want to go to heaven."

My mother patted him with her hand: "What nonsense are you talking about during Chinese New Year? It's by plane."

The younger brother was stunned for a moment, and immediately shouted: "I want to fly, I want to fly."

The second elder brother opened the door and came in. Seeing his younger brother, he asked, "What kind of machine is the little soldier on? Is it you?" The younger brother took out a handful from his crotch, and the younger brother hid aside and said, "Take the big machine." I can’t fly this one.” Everyone laughed.

Zhang Xingming asked his second brother, "Is there something wrong?"

The second elder brother washed his hands, sat down to make dumplings, and said, "Play with Zhao San and the others in the afternoon. He said that he went to the city with his father to give presents yesterday. Secretary Cong said that he took them to Fengtian on the fifth day of the lunar new year and said they would see each other again." Which high-ranking official, he said he asked you to sort out the materials and plans, and he showed them to the high-ranking official, and asked if we could go."
