Chapter 35.35
byAfter eating most of the rabbit's legs, Zhen Zhen was not too hungry at noon. After a few mouthfuls of rice, she got off the kang and sat on the kang in her own room while holding the honey water that Mrs. Li had prepared.
After Li Mingzhong finished eating his own meal, he lifted his leg and pushed open the door, and got in through the door. Zhen Zhen looked up at it and said, "Close the door for me to let in the wind." Li Mingzhong silently turned around and lifted his leg to close the door. Now, when he walked to the edge of the kang, he lifted his legs and put his two front paws on the edge of the kang, and looked at Zhen Zhen with a sad face: "I haven't eaten enough roasted rabbits."
"I know." Zhen Zhen held her enamel jar to comfort it: "It's not crowded today, another day we'll go with the fourth brother secretly, and then we'll give you half of the roasted rabbit."
"You can pull it down, it's better than me, a roasted rabbit is not enough for him to stick his teeth." Li Mingzhong turned around and lay in his nest, covering his head with his front paws: "I want to eat one myself. "
Zhen Zhen took a few hazelnut kernels from the bowl and threw them to Li Mingzhong: "Bake a few more next time, I'll give you one alone, and bring it back to my nurse and my mother to taste."
Li Mingzhong jumped up to catch Hazelnut and wagged his tail at Zhen Zhen: "We've agreed, but we can't fool the dog."
Zhen Zhen drank the last sip of honey water in the jar, and gave Li Mingzhong a blank look: "Got it, silly dog."
There are two kang tables on the north and south kang next door to the west house. The four Li Muwen brothers sit on the south kang with their older nephews, and Mrs. Li leads the women and grandsons to sit on the north kang. On the table is a pot of braised pork with thick oily red sauce, a large plate of thinly sliced steamed white meat, the sauerkraut blood sausage has more meat and vegetables than sauerkraut, and other stir-fried cabbage, stewed potatoes, stewed dried beans, and so on. Less meat, Zhang Chunhua looked at this and looked at that greedy eye, and he didn't even touch the dry food next to him. He first put two pieces of meat in his mouth and said vaguely, "Mother, you always live at home. It’s also great, it’s much better than us, and Mu Lin is always worried that you won’t be able to eat well, and he will send you the food stamps and money first when he is paid every month, we can’t live as well as you at home.”
Mrs. Li glanced at her and said calmly, "I raised him, so he should repay me. If you have a hard time, it's another matter if he talks to me and I give it to him again. , Just like your parents, who have the same amount of food stamps and money as Mu Lin every month, you still have to honor them as well, this is the same reason."
Zhang Chunhua sneered twice, grabbed a big bone and took a bite of the meat on top: "I said that, and I'm not unhappy. Even in Bingcheng, we can't buy so much meat with money and meat tickets."
"You can't buy it here, but there are few adults in Beicha, and there is a place for raising poultry and livestock, so it's better than you." Mrs. Li took a mouthful of blood sausage: "But it's not enough to keep this thing for a year. Shao Xin, Mingnan and Mingbei are busy all day long, either cooking pig food or picking wild vegetables in the mountains, and you don’t have much to feed in Bingcheng.”
Ming Shu and Ming Xin had just eaten roasted rabbits, and they came back with such a table of hard vegetables, making up for the year's debt. Mingxin ate the braised pork bite after bite, and it wasn't too greasy. Hearing that he could raise pigs in Beicha, he immediately turned his head and said to Zhang Chunhua, "Mom, Beicha is so good, let's go back to our hometown, you don't know what's on the mountain. The rabbit is getting old, and it smells good after roasting."
Zhang Chunhua's face turned pale with fright, and he was afraid that Mrs. Li would agree. When Li Mulin really moved his mind, how could his parents fix it. She kicked Mingxin under the kang table and forced a smile on her face: "What nonsense are you talking about, you don't study anymore? Your father still has to go to work."
Mrs. Li glanced at her and slapped her mouth: "It's good if you don't come back. I'm still annoying when I look at you in front of me. Besides, I don't have a house for you to live in." Zhang Chunhua smirked twice, lowered his head and ate, not daring to eat. Look up again.
At the next table, Li Muwen asked about his nephews' studies. Mingdong is now in college, so he doesn't have to worry about anything. He can be assigned jobs when he graduates.
Li Muwen looked at Mingxi, who was pouring himself a drink, and asked him, "Which university is Mingxi thinking about?"
Mingxi also had a headache when he thought about it: "My brother just went to college and I went to Bingcheng to take a look, and I didn't think about where to take the test."
Li Muwen took a sip of wine and gave Mingxi a piece of advice: "If you don't have a particular university, I suggest you apply for the ice military industry, but you can't pass the test in Yidong High School now, and you have to transfer to Bingcheng. Just go to high school."
Li Mulin said immediately, "I'll stay at my house then, and I'll take care of him reading."
Li Muwen said: "After the new year, I will take Mingxi to Bingcheng and try to transfer him to Bingcheng No. 6 Middle School. After the New Year, it is estimated that Ha Jungong will go to various high schools for political examination in advance. If it is late, he will miss it. Chance."
Being a soldier in this era is a matter of honor for the whole family, not to mention going to a military university. When Mrs. Li heard Li Muwen's words, she didn't have the heart to eat. The military industrial and political examination for Bing is much stricter than other universities. Our family has been innocent and has fought against Japan for several generations, so there is nothing to be afraid of investigation. There is only one exam, will this Osmanthus origin affect Mingxi's advancement?"
Ming Dong said quickly, "Damn, I have passed the political examination in college. What is Mingxi afraid of?"
Li Muwen put down the wine cup and explained to Mingdong: "In addition to the background, the Bingjun industrial and political examination also includes social relations and family history. If there are big capitalists and big landlords who have hatred with the party, they will not be admitted."
Mingxi heard the words and said quickly: "My sister-in-law has no hatred with the party. If you can't pass the political trial, it's fine. I'll be good for the ice engineering university."
Li Muwen said with a smile: "Since I recommend you to take the ice military test, naturally I also considered the situation of Osmanthus." Li Muwen poured a cup of wine for his mother, and explained to everyone: "Osmanthus has grown up in our family since she was a child, and her household registration has always been there. My family has long since separated from her parents. When I go to Bingcheng, I will also write a document for the army and the Bingjun workers to explain the matter of Osmanthus. If it passes the best, if not, Mingxi will participate normally until the day. High school is fine."
The family was relieved after hearing this. Zhang Chunhua is a native of Bingcheng, and she naturally knew that the Bing Army was very powerful. She quickly asked across the kang: "Oh, my brother can talk to Bing Army, then you are in the army. It's your boss."
For the past few days, Li Muwen only talked about the anti-Japanese affairs. After liberation, he only talked about his own days, and basically did not talk about the affairs in the army. The Li family's education since childhood was to ask less about things that others don't talk about. Only Mrs. Li slept with her son on the same kang at night. After hearing a few words from her son, she knew that her son was quite high in the army, and she had it with her. The guards followed. In order not to scare the family members back home this time, they deliberately left the guards in Bingcheng.
Li Muwen heard Zhang Chunhua's question, but pretended he didn't hear it, and continued to talk to Mingxi about things before the university entrance examination, and told Mingdong to take advantage of the winter vacation to make up for Mingxi's homework. Zhang Chunhua thought that Li Muwen didn't hear his words, so he raised his voice and asked, "Brother, what officer are you in the army?"
This time, Li Muwen didn't need to speak, and Li Mulin's face darkened. He turned around and drank to Zhang Chunhua: "What are you asking, it's like owed Badener."
Zhang Chunhua saw that Li Mulin was angry, so he shrank his neck and muttered unwillingly: "I don't think that Mingshu will be taking the college entrance examination in a few years. Let's see if I can borrow some strength."
Mingshu looked up at Zhang Chunhua with a confused expression: "Mom, I'm only in the second year of junior high."
Li Muwen smiled, and looked at Ming Shu with a kind look: "I just wrote a material, and I still have to rely on my own talents to learn the exam. No one can get through the back door."
Ming Shu looked up and said quickly, "Master, I know that I will work hard on my own. I'm getting old in school."
Mingxin listened to it and threw the stage next to him: "Well, my brother is very good at studying. There are thirty-two people in their class, and my brother is twenty-three in the exam."
The whole family laughed when they heard it, and Ming Shu blushed and tried to make up for himself: "I didn't perform well, and if I took the test well, it would definitely not be like that."
Mingxin nodded seriously: "My brother is right, that is, he says that every year, and he hasn't passed the exam well in a year."
The intestines of big and small laughs in the family were hurting, and even Li Mulin couldn’t hold back his black face, so he scolded Li Mingshu with a smile: “Stinky boy, I’m blind for the name I named him, he’s not good at reading, he spends all day long. Just know it."
Mingxin listened and stared at Mingshu Zhile, Mingshu glanced at him, lowered his voice and threatened him: "If you dare to go out and hug me again, I won't buy you popsicles to eat."
After hearing this, Ming Shu immediately changed his tone: "Although my brother is a good student, he has good physical strength. He ranks first in every sports meeting, and my brother who skips school and jumps off the wall is the fastest."
Seeing Ming Xin's serious face, Ming Shu stretched out his oily hand and patted him: "Can you talk less and eat more meat?"
Mingxin looked at the big oily handprint on his clothes and shouted, "Mom, look at my brother." Zhang Chunhua hurriedly jumped off the kang, found a towel soaked in water, and wiped Mingxin's shoulders half-wet , and then wipe the clothes clean.
Mingnan and Mingbei watched the two brothers on the opposite side tearing down each other and hurting each other, and they burst out laughing. Mingbei also slammed Mingxin: "What else is your brother doing, tell me, and I will take you to roast rabbits tomorrow."
This time, without waiting for Mingxin to speak, Mingshu preemptively said, "I'll tell you what you want to hear. I know my own affairs best. Just give me the roasted rabbit."
Mingnan looked at him with admiration: "You can really go out of your way to eat."
Ming Shu said indifferently: "Anyway, we have to shake off the shameful things. Why don't I say it myself, my brother from the province sold me for rabbits to eat."
Mingguang from Li Musen's family came over when he was eating. He was envious and greedy when he heard Mingbei talk about roasting rabbits in the mountains. He immediately rushed to say: "I also know my brother's wicked deeds. Rabbit, I'll tell you about my brother going to the old Wang's pumpkin field last year...%#%..."
Mingrong put one arm around Mingguang's neck and tightly covered his mouth with the other, scolding him angrily: "Are you stupid? Can't I give you roasted rabbits?"
Mingguang's eyes widened suddenly, he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and waved his hands vigorously. Mingrong saw that his silly brother had figured it out, so he breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his hand. Mingnan looked at Mingguang with a smirk: "I have an impression of this, I remember that someone cut the pumpkin of Lao Wang's house and dug up the flesh the year before, and after urinating in it, he buttoned up the pumpkin, Wang Baozi. When I went to pick pumpkins, I got my hands dirty, and the angry old lady scolded her for more than a month."
Mingguang covered his mouth and laughed, tears came out, and he defended himself while hiding: "This is not what I said, my brother Nan guessed it himself."
The flesh in Ming Beile's mouth fell out: "Brother Ming Rong, you are too bad. If you don't tell me about this, I really can't think of what you did." Ming Rong kicked Mingguang angrily: "Just you He has a big mouth." He quickly explained, "It wasn't that Wang Baozi robbed me of an eraser. I went to him to ask for it, and he broke it for me. I was so angry that I broke it in his pumpkin field."
Mingbei became anxious when he heard it: "Are you unable to fight him? It's okay, next time you fight with him, you can find my second brother, my second brother is very old, and he can slap a dead wild boar with a slap. When the time comes, let the second brother help you, and make sure that a slap can slap him."
Sitting next to Li Muwen, Mingxi, who was humbly asking for advice and reviewing those textbooks, was sold by his brother inadvertently. Li Muwen looked at Mingxi in surprise: "Have you ever shot a wild boar to death?"
Mingxi's face turned green: "Li Mingbei, you deserve a beating!"
Zhen Zhen herself could hear Westinghouse's voice in the East Room, she was lying on the kang by herself, laughing and twitching, Li Mingzhong didn't understand why it was funny, as a dog, it was more worried: "Are you sure? Can I get a rabbit?"
"I'm sure." Zhen Zhen laughed and the tears came out: "I'll give you the biggest one."
Generally speaking, children's mobility is the strongest, especially a group of foodie children. The next morning, Mingrong and Mingguang came, and after breakfast, they urged Mingnan and Mingbei to go up the mountain. This time, the goal was clear. Mingbei went to the kitchen to pack all the seasonings at home, and even took a canning bottle and asked Mrs. Li for honey.
Seeing that Zhen Zhen was going to follow, Mrs. Li generously poured out half the can, Ming Bei put everything in the back basket, and did not forget to invite her own hunting expert: "Second brother, you are also with us. Let's go, if we encounter wild boars or something, we can drag it back and add a dish."
Mingxi instantly remembered the scene of the wild boar pounced on him back then, his legs trembled again, and he resisted the fear and shouted at Mingbei: "Don't mention the wild boar again."
On the way up the mountain, Mingbei still didn't know why his second brother was unhappy: "Second brother is just modest, and he doesn't want to talk about such a long face. If you want to leave me alone, if others don't tell me, I'll have to show off."
Zhen Zhen rubbed her chin beside her and thought seriously: "Young man, why don't you call a wild boar and give it a slap?"
This time up the mountain, Zhen Zhen didn't plan to get a bunch of rabbits to hit the trees, one was too easy for the stubborn children to spread out, and the other one lacked a lot of fun. However, the snow in the deep mountains and forests is thick and it is not easy to find rabbits. In order to let everyone eat rabbits, Zhen Zhen found a dozen fat and big rabbits from the mountains and drove them over with her mind.
A rabbit on the left and a rabbit on the right ran in front of them. These children were all busy. Ming Shu followed Ming Rong to set the noose. Ming Nan and Ming Bei took slingshots to hit them. Ming Xin and Ming Guang ran after Li Mingzhong. . In winter, the snow is thick, and the hare can't run fast on the snow. It didn't take long for him to collapse on the snow and couldn't run. Mingxin grabbed the rabbit's ear and pulled it up, happy to close his mouth: "I caught the hare too. ."
When they caught five or six hares, Ming Nan and Ming Rong began to clean the rabbits. Ming Shu and Ming Xin were very experienced in setting up fires one after another. Zhen Zhen was wrapped in a cotton coat, a cotton hat and thick cotton. He held his military water bottle in his gloves, took a sip of honey water from time to time, and watched his group of foodie brothers happily roast rabbits.
When the first batch of rabbits was roasted, the lasso set up before caught a few more. Li Mingzhong counted the number of rabbits over and over with his dog's head, which was not very easy to use. Allocate one.
Zhen Zhen watched it circling around the barbecue grill, giggling happily until batch after batch of rabbits were roasted, Li Mingzhong was finally satisfied with a whole rabbit in his mouth, squatting in the snow and gnawing wildly.
Because the condiments brought today are sufficient, the milk gives more honey, and there are more people and more lively, the roasted rabbit is also very delicious. After his stomach was full, Mingnan put out the fire, saw that there was no sparks in the barbecue area, and shoveled snow from the side to cover it, and then went home with two roasted rabbits wrapped in greased paper.
Back home, braised chicken nuggets were not afraid of the cold jumping in the yard, remembering that Mrs. Li had picked up a lot of eggs recently, Zhen Zhen looked at braised chicken nuggets with complicated eyes: "I have been working hard in the chicken coop recently."
Braised chicken nuggets replied shamelessly: "Isn't this trying to make more braised chicken nuggets for you?"
Zhen Zhen was blocked for a while, she turned around and continued walking towards the house, the braised chicken nuggets flapped her wings and asked curiously, "What are you doing? What did you bring back?"
"Going to roast rabbits on the mountain." Zhen Zhen replied.
"What are you going to roast on the mountain, how good is it to bring it back and roast it in the yard, isn't it too cold?" A hint of contempt flashed in the eyes of the braised chicken nuggets and mung bean: "I guess you didn't think of this, you said you were Not stupid?"
Zhen Zhen angrily picked up a knife from under the window: "Come here for me."
"What are you doing?" Braised Chicken Nuggets silently took two steps back: "I haven't been a breeder yet?"
Zhen Zhenyin laughed twice: "You don't need to be a breeder, I will castrate you now."
