Chapter 20 Summer Vacation

Four p.m.

 Datong Brigade Baoshan Village.

When Deng Shirong and his eldest nephew Bu Dashi picked up the last load of grain, his whole body was soaked with sweat. It is no exaggeration to say that even if he pulled off his shorts at this time, he could squeeze out water.

 “This work is really not done by humans.” Deng Shirong sighed in his heart.

In later generations, few people in their village farmed anymore. The few who still farmed did not have to work hard to pick the grain back from the field like now. They just used a threshing machine to thresh the rice directly in the field. Get down, carry the rice to the car, step on the accelerator, and get home easily.

Fortunately, in this era, Deng Shirong's body was used to farm work. He only felt a little unbearable in the heat after carrying a few loads of grain, but he didn't feel too tired.

At this time, the third sister Deng Shilan came out with a towel and said, "Brother, wipe off the sweat."

Deng Shirong hummed, took the towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead and body, and then said: "Third sister, third brother-in-law, it's getting late, so I'll go back first."

Before he got home, he saw two younger brothers, Yunsong and Yunhua, waiting there from a distance. After seeing his figure, they ran over quickly.

 After saying that, Deng Shirong left without looking back.

Deng Shilan thought that the whole family had worked hard today, and that the family had indeed not eaten meat for a long time, so she silently changed the plan to eat the pork in four days to three days.

"goodbye!"

“Mom, uncle brought so much meat here, can we eat until we are tired of it today?” Thirteen-year-old Bu Xiaofang asked expectantly.

The student with acne's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes! Yes! Yes! I want it!"

“Dear classmates, I will go back first. See you next semester!”

Deng Shilan tried to persuade her to stay several times. When she saw that her brother insisted on going back, she asked him to wait. She hurried into the house and came out with a basket of eggs: "Brother, take these eggs back and eat them."

 At noon, a dormitory of Songshan High School.

By the time Deng Yunheng returned to the village, it was already around four in the afternoon. He was very tired after walking for more than three hours carrying so much luggage.

Comparing with the fried dried radish that had no oily taste before, after adding enough oil and water, the taste is as good as heaven and earth. It makes my classmates with acne feel satisfied.

The two pieces of pork belly weighed about three or four kilograms. It was impossible to eat them all in one meal. It was too luxurious. Deng Shilan planned to eat them in four days.

Deng Shirong didn't insist when he saw this, so he nodded and said: "Okay, then I won't come over tomorrow. I'll come see you next time when I have time."

 “Second brother, you are back!”

Bu Xiaofang knew her mother very well. From her tone, she knew that she was not really angry, and she probably agreed to her request, so she happily agreed, and then went to light the fire.

Deng Yunheng smiled, then reached into the bottle with chopsticks, dug out some solidified lard, and then put it on the dried radish on the student's rice noodles.

The third brother-in-law also emphasized: "Your third sister is right, this little work is not enough for our family, so don't go back and forth!"

Deng Yunheng handed their luggage to them and said, "Xiao Song, Xiao Hua, let me declare in advance that I don't have money to buy you snacks!"

Bu Dashi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Sister, you are indeed a little fanciful. Let alone our family, there is probably no family in the entire village who can afford to eat pork until they are tired of it."

Seeing his two younger brothers with such enthusiastic attitudes, Deng Yunheng saw through their plans at a glance. They were just thinking about the money in his hand. When he came back last week, his father gave him two yuan. He only spent one and two yuan on school, and now he still has eighty cents left in his pocket!

 Saturday, the 23rd day of the fifth lunar month.

Deng Shirong quickly waved his hand and said: "No, there is really no shortage of eggs and meat at home now. Third sister, please keep them to eat. I will bring Yuntai and Azhen over tomorrow morning to help."

After scooping out the lard, there was already some white grease on the rice surface of the student with acne. He mixed it with the hot rice for a while. After the solidified lard melted, he couldn't wait to eat it with big mouthfuls. .

Upon seeing this, Deng Yunheng also started to eat big mouthfuls of food.

Deng Yunsong took the luggage, showed a bright smile, and said: "Second brother, we are such superficial people, don't worry, we won't ask you for money to buy snacks."

After saying hello to his classmates in the dormitory, Deng Yunheng carried his luggage and walked home.

“Second brother, are you tired from walking such a long way? Let me help you carry your luggage!”

Soon, the two of them finished the food in the lunch box, went out to clean the lunch box, and then came back to pack their luggage.

Deng Yunheng scooped all the fried dried radish in the bottle onto the rice, and then waved to his classmate with acne. When the other person came over with the lunch box, he said: "I still have some oil and water in this bottle, do you want it?" If you want it, I’ll give it to you; if you don’t want it, I’ll eat it myself.”

Bu Xiaofang ignored her elder brother who was laughing at her, looked at her mother and said, "Mom, you have to cut the meat into larger pieces."

Deng Shirong shook his head and said with a smile: "Third sister, third brother-in-law, you don't have to be polite to me. It will be dark when you go back after dinner. Moreover, my food is very good recently. I eat meat every day. I arrange for others to look after my house at noon." It was a very sumptuous meal!”

“Well, it’s a long way from home, so I have to leave. See you next semester!”

Deng Yunhua nodded and agreed: "That's right, snacks are nothing. Are fried bee pupae delicious?"

The third brother-in-law also echoed and said: "Yes, the rice is already cooking. It's still early. It won't be too late to go back after eating."

Deng Shilan stuffed it several times, but his brother refused to take it. He could only say helplessly: "Your production team is about to cut the crops, so don't come over to help. We can finish this work in a few days."

Thinking this in my heart, I cursed: "Damn girl, you only know how to eat in one day, go and make a fire."

Half an hour later, the smell of meat filled the Bu family's kitchen...

Deng Shilan glared and said, "What are you talking about? You came here with so much meat and helped with the work for a long time. You said you have to eat before going back."

 When Deng Shirong walked away, Deng Shilan took the eggs back and put them away, and then started to deal with the two pieces of pork belly brought by his brother. Several children gathered around and watched eagerly.

Deng Shilan rolled his eyes at his little daughter and said, "What good things are you thinking about? Do you still want to eat pork until you are tired of it? You can eat two or three yuan for one meal, which is already the life of a god!"

He has eaten braised pork three times this week, and now that he is on vacation, for his last meal at school, he is not willing to buy any more vegetables, so he eats dried radishes brought from home.

 Yes, four days, not four meals.

Deng Yunsong saw that his fourth brother had successfully brought up the topic, and immediately gave him a look of approval, and then said with a look of disdain: "Snacks can't be compared with fried bee pupae, it's far behind!"

"Fried bee pupae?" Deng Yunheng heard the key word and quickly asked: "Xiao Song Xiaohua, how do you know that fried bee pupae are delicious?"
