Anbei is a small county more than 100 kilometers away from Beicha. There are forests in the east and more than a dozen farms in the west. The largest Anbei farm is dedicated to the transformation of the capitalist class and intellectuals. Zhen Zhen went around. Circle, I saw that the place is still clean, and there is a lot of food in the cafeteria. Although there is no refined grain, but looking at the pans of pancakes, you should not be hungry.

Back at Beicha, Zhen Zhen felt annoyed that she didn't know much about the past ten years in her previous life, only that the intellectuals and the landlord class would not have a good time, but to what extent, what is the level of each city, she Know nothing. How to avoid being involved in the class struggle and ensure that the family spends the past ten years safely, she has no idea.

After a sleepless night, it was dawn, and Mrs. Li woke up early and turned her head to look at her granddaughter's stunned eyes. She was shocked: "What's wrong? Didn't sleep well last night?"

Zhen Zhen yawned and sat up from the bed, rubbed her eyes and felt a little nervous: "Just thinking about the work of my eldest brother, I feel a little murmured in my heart. Milk, you said my brother and his classmates are doing what kind of work after graduation. what?"

"I heard from your brother that they are all teachers and they are assigned to agricultural colleges all over the province to train agricultural technicians for the people's communes, so as to guide farmers to plant good land and have a good harvest." Mrs. Li put Zhen Zhen again. Pressing back into the bed, he put on a coat and sat up.

Zhen Zhen was a little gloomy after hearing this: "Do I have to become a teacher? I always feel a little uneasy."

Mrs. Li was silent for a while, then slowly touched the cigarette bag pot and stuffed some tobacco leaves into it, just took out the foreign fire from the basket and remembered that Zhen Zhen didn't like the smell of smoke, so she quickly put the cigarette bag pot back on the kang.

She coughed twice and said softly: "Your eldest brother has spent so many years in college without spending a penny at home, and he can still receive subsidies from the school every month. When you don’t want to do it, it’s not that you don’t want to do it.” Mrs. Li put on her clothes and got off the kang, and went back to tuck Zhen Zhen on the quilt: “Don’t think about it, just close your eyes and sleep. , I'll tell your mother later, don't let her call you." Zhen Zhen yawned sleepily, seeing that Li Mingdong could do nothing about the assignment, she simply didn't think about it anymore, she agreed and quickly fell asleep. go.

don’t know if Mrs. Li noticed something from Zhen Zhen’s words, but after a few days, she lost interest in mentioning Mingdong’s post-graduation work. Occasionally, she would sit in front of the stove by herself and watch the burning red light. loose in a daze.

In addition to Mingdong, Mingxi went to a military academy, and now he is a soldier, so there seems to be nothing to worry about. Mingnan's academic performance is also good. Before, his family always insisted on the idea of ​​​​going to college if he could, and made him work hard. After thinking about it for two days, Mrs. Li suddenly changed her tone and asked Mingnan to go home after graduating from high school to study for a hydrolysis factory.

Mingnan was not the kind of academic bully of Mingdong. Mrs. Li said that he had no objection to let him not take the university entrance examination. He thought that there were more and more people in his family, and only Li Muwu was the only one who earned money from work. It's just too expensive. Therefore, Mingnan didn't even ask any more questions, and agreed.

Looking at the twelfth lunar month, Mingxi finally returned home despite the heavy snow. Wang Sufen burst into tears when she saw her second son, who was black and thin. Since Mingxi went to college, he has only come back twice in total, but he looks darker every time, and the skin on his face is not as fine as before.

When Mrs. Li heard the movement, she came from the room with a feather duster and came at Mingxi. Mingxi was so frightened that she wanted to go back outside, leaning against the door and her legs and began to tremble: "Mother, I'm not doing anything here, what are you doing? Are you going to hit me?"

"What are you fighting? You are a soldier anyway, can you be tougher?" Mrs. Li was angrily laughed at him, and took a feather duster to flick the snow off his legs: "Why don't you wear boots, these shoes step on When you come back from the snow, it is estimated that you will be wet for a while, so go in and change your pants and shoes, this year your mother specially made a pair of new cotton shoes for you, but they are thick."

Mingxi smiled embarrassedly, his dark face was a little red: "I was very tough in sparring and fighting in school, but when I saw the milk, I couldn't get tough."

"You're saying that your milk is fierce." Mrs. Li was amused by him, Ming Nan hurriedly stepped forward to take Mingxi's bag, and the two brothers went to the Westinghouse talking.

As soon as Mingxi came back, the atmosphere at home was obviously much more lively. Mrs. Li poured Mingxi a jar of honey water and handed it to him. She tapped Mingnan with a cigarette bag and pot: "Go to the chicken coop to catch a chicken and kill it. Let's eat chicken stewed with mushrooms."

Mingbei looked at the braised chicken nuggets wandering around with his head held high in the house, and said with a smirk, "Why don't you go out to catch any chickens? There isn't one here."

Braised Chicken Nuggets froze, turned carelessly in a direction, took two steps and saw that no one was stopping it, then fluttered his wings and ran back to the East Room, Mingbei burst out laughing.

Mingxi looked angrily and funny from the side: "Have you grown tall but not brains over the years? I don't think your brains are much smarter than braised chicken nuggets."

Ming Bei smiled and saw Ming Nan put on his clothes and was about to go out, he immediately put on his clothes and ran out: "I'm with you, there's a castrated rooster in the chicken coop, the elder one."

The braised chicken nuggets who slipped into the East Room were sneaking out his head and looking out. He glanced at Ming Bei, who ran out, and immediately fell on the ground in fright. Li Mingzhong glanced at Mingbei next to him, turned his head and threw it into the nest with the braised chicken nuggets in his mouth, and silently closed the door with his head arched, blocking Mingbei's sight.

Zhen Zhen was sitting on the kang reading a book, she couldn't help laughing when she saw the braised chicken nuggets trembling all over her body, she threw a few peeled melon seeds for it, Zhen Zhen said, "You haven't been castrated, what are you afraid of? "

The braised chicken nuggets got into the chicken coop with only one head exposed. The little mung bean's eyes were a little complacent about it: "I didn't get castrated because I was smart. Every year when the capons are around, I hide too fast."

Zhen Zhen was amused by it, since she started raising chickens and pigs that year, Mrs. Li will catch a piglet to hatch some chicks at the beginning of the new year. Those chickens have eaten a few times, and the only thing that has been kept is Only the braised chicken nuggets are left. Seeing that Zhen Zhen likes it, Mrs. Li often talks to it in rambles. As long as the chicken has spiritual energy, she has no intention of stewing it to eat meat, and she even cooks it for it in the house when it is cold today. found a small nest, next to Li Mingzhong's cushion.

I have to say that Li Mingzhong and the braised chicken nuggets have been trained very well by Zhen Zhen. In the house one winter, one chicken and one dog get along very well, not to mention that they cooperate very well. Tomorrow, Li Mingzhong will open the door at a fixed point and take the braised chicken nuggets out to solve his physical problems. When he comes back from work, Li Mingzhong does not need others to open the door. He can open the door by standing up by himself.

Wang Sufen loves cleanliness. I heard that she was not very happy to keep braised chicken nuggets in the house. She was afraid that the house would be dirty and cover the smell. It's extra worry-free not to bark, and I take the initiative to feed it with some sorghum rice every day.

In winter, Xue Da Zhen Zhen doesn't go out very much, so having this dog and chicken to accompany Zhen Zhen also relieves a lot of loneliness.

After killing the chicken, put the prepared hazelnut mushrooms and simmered for an hour. The house smelled of meat. Li Mingzhong went to the kitchen from time to time to take a look, and came back to discuss with Zhen Zhen: "No one likes to eat chicken heads, give it to me. Got it."

Braised chicken nuggets stood on top of the chicken coop and pecked Li Mingzhong's head: "Have you had any dim sum, and said to eat chicken heads in front of me, is its head as delicious as mine?"

Li Mingzhong was annoyed by being pecked by it, so he turned his head and lifted his front legs and pressed it back into the chicken coop. Zhen Zhen hasn't gone out much since the winter, and Li Muwu has been busy at work this winter, so he didn't have time to hunt, so apart from the monthly According to each person’s share of 22 taels of pork, bought some meat to stir-fry and cut a few slices to satisfy hunger.

Zhen Zhen also knew that Li Mingzhong was greedy, so he called him to his side and rubbed his head: "The chicken bones are thin, you'll have to chew it up when you eat it, don't swallow it whole, be careful to stick it."

Li Mingzhong nodded expectantly, followed Zhen Zhen to dinner, the braised chicken nuggets retracted his head into the chicken coop unconvinced, and kept whispering: "What's so delicious about stewed chicken with mushrooms? Do you have the incense of my braised chicken nuggets? Unexperienced dog!"

After lunch, Zhen Zhen lay lazy on the kang, Li Muwu went out to find the butcher and asked him to kill pigs for his family tomorrow. In the past few years, Mrs. Li has not waited until the foundation of the year has been laid. Basically, as soon as the twelfth lunar month enters, she will kill the pig first. If you kill the pig early, you can also let the children eat some meat. It is not easy to go out all year round. Make up for it.

Listening to Westinghouse's giggling voice, Zhen Zhen felt a little sad, after all, it's going to be a special period soon, and I don't know if we can be so reunited during the Chinese New Year next year, while the family is all together this year, it's better to get more food, Have a good time. Zhen Zhen covered the forest with her consciousness, and soon found a red deer that was dying frequently, only to see that it was covered in scars, as if it was attacked by some wild beast. Seeing that the red deer was about to smoke, Zhen Zhen patted Li Mingzhong's head: "There is a red deer next to our house, drag it back." Li Mingzhong was excited when he heard this, and wailed around the house. After turning twice, he lifted his leg and pushed the door open and disappeared.

Mrs. Li was smoking in the kitchen. Seeing that Li Mingzhong ran out without even closing the door, she quickly came out and closed the door: "Why let it out when the snow is so thick, what if I let others drag it home."

"It's so fierce that it can bite off the wood as thick as an arm, who would want to pull it so hard?" Zhen Zhen went back to the kang and got under the covers, yawning: "It's been around the house for so long, so fast. If something goes wrong, let it go out and have fun, don't worry about it, come back when you've had enough."

But let Zhen Zhen speak, Li Mingzhong slid his head into the snowdrift from time to time while running, surfing all the way from home to the foot of the mountain, playing with snow all over his body.

Running to the side of his own land, he saw a fat red deer just died. Li Mingzhong arched it and pulled a wooden board from his own land. This is a door board that Li Muwu used to carry. During the autumn harvest, he put some lunch or something he brought on top of it, and put it directly on the ground to attract ants.

The red deer was arched onto the wooden board, and Li Mingzhong pushed down along the path when he came. The red deer slipped out like the wooden board flew out. Li Mingzhong shook his head and followed behind with his tail swaying. If the red deer fell, it would be in Drag it up.

Li Muwu made an appointment with the butcher and went to Li Musen's house again, and told him about the pig slaughter tomorrow, and asked him to bring his wife and children to the house for dinner. After chatting at Li Musen's house, Li Muwu noticed a bloodstain on his way home. He chased after the trail and finally saw Li Mingzhong's stupid dog dragging a 200-200 jins when he was about to get home. The red deer dragged home.

"Hongzhong!" Li Muwu shouted, Li Mingzhong heard it and ran over immediately, ran around Li Muwu happily, and dragged Li Muwu to the side of the red deer with Li Muwu's clothes in his mouth.

"Good guy, did you hit such a big deer?" Li Mingzhong rubbed Li Mingzhong's head cheerfully, but he walked in and looked at the wounds on the deer's body, and the hair was also worn away, which made him feel distressed. The ground sighed: "What a good skin is blind, and it can't be made into clothes. Keep the shoes." After saying that, he didn't think it was dirty, so he picked up the red deer and put it on his shoulder, and shouted: "Hongzhong, go, go home!"

Li Muwu came back with a deer, and the whole family was boiling. Everyone who was not afraid of the cold went to the yard to see the freshness. Li Muwu praised Li Mingzhong again and again, and promised that he would pick a big piece of venison after the venison was cooked. Li Mingzhong, who was in the room, screamed, and hurriedly ran to the house to show her merit to Zhen Zhen.

One of my favorite ways to eat any kind of meat in Beicha is: stew! Fortunately, the meat we usually eat at home is either wild or we feed ourselves with food, and the meat quality is not comparable to the meat fed with clenbuterol, which is the kind of feed of later generations. But apart from stewing this venison, Zhen Zhen always wanted to try roasting it.

She ran to the small bookcase in the Westinghouse and flipped out Li Mingdong's "A Dream of Red Mansions", holding the book and wearing a leather jacket, she came out to find Li Mingzhong: "Brother, last time I heard this on the radio, saying there is a way to eat venison, you Look, let's eat like that too."

Li Mingdong took over the book and said, "Why are you so greedy? Before this deer is cleaned up, you should first think about how to eat the venison."

Zhen Zhen stepped forward and put her arms around Li Mingdong's arm, acting cute and cute: "I'm not afraid that our family doesn't have such a complete set of things. Brother, please help me to see how we can roast venison."

"It's not easy to roast venison. There are a lot of stumbles in the family of red pine, and the stove is also there. Let dad put the cut deer legs up and roast it." Li Mingxi has been out for training in the past two years, and he is already familiar with roasting. .

Mingbei was excited when he heard it: "I asked the milk to order honey. It's delicious to brush with honey after baking."

Zhen Zhen was a little confused, she explained while gesturing: "The roasted deer leg is too slow to cook, I want to slice the meat thinly on an iron plate and roast it, or put it on a skewer and eat it as you like. The roasted kind."

The family looked at each other, but Mingnan was quick to react: "I remember that there used to be an iron plate in our house, and then the milk was put away because it was too hot. Can you use that?"

"Okay, okay!" Zhen Zhen nodded hurriedly, and didn't forget to turn around and make a deal with her brothers: "Hurry up and help prepare, make sure it's delicious."
