Chapter 82 It’s better to have a woman at home
On the eldest sister's side, Luo Cheng also chatted for a while. He opened the fried peanuts wrapped in paper and teased the nephew for a while. The nephew called him uncle and aunt, which was sweet.
After saying goodbye to his sister's house, Luo Cheng went to Chen Laizi's house. If it were before, as long as Chen Laizi went into the mountains in the morning, he would definitely not be able to find anyone. But now, the mountain rangers do not need to go into the mountains. They will only go into the mountains to take a look when they find something suspicious. They usually just wander around the mountains and forests.
"Luo Cheng, you said Chen Leizi is like that, is it easy to get a wife?"
"Don't laugh at my brother~~Pfft~, he will definitely get a wife, why is he so short?"
Okay, Zhao Qian suddenly went to Chen Laizi's house and asked about this. It's not good to talk about brothers behind their backs. But Luo Cheng is a full man and doesn't know how hungry a man is. Thinking of Chen Laizi's size, I don't know what it would look like if he crawled on a woman.
But Luo Cheng knew that in a year's time, as long as there was food at home, a man would not have to worry about marrying a wife. Chen Laizi couldn't get food, and he was there to help.
"Do you have any suitable relatives among your relatives? Please introduce one to Chen Laizi. Don't say that Chen Laizi is short, just say he is 1.8 meters tall when he jumps."
"You can jump up to 1.8 meters tall. Is there anyone who can introduce people like this?"
Luo Cheng's words immediately made Zhao Qian laugh. If a matchmaker introduced someone like this, his legs would definitely be broken in the town.
The two talked and laughed along the way, and soon they arrived at Chen Laizi's house. Chen Laizi was cutting bamboo in front of his house.
When Luo Cheng and Zhao Qian appeared, they were naturally discovered by Chen Laizi immediately. Mountain people are highly alert. Even if they are busy with something, they will pay attention to their surroundings from time to time.
"Scorpion, what are you doing by peeling bamboo? Are you going to set a trap in the mountains?"
"No, it's good to get something small now. I don't need bamboo to make traps. I also know Li Laizi. He has also become a mountain ranger. I didn't expect that he can also make bamboo beds. Let him help me by cutting some bamboo. Give me one."
"Bamboo bed? I know Li Laizi, but I don't have much contact with him. It's not like he can help me."
"I want to say that the one I am cutting now was originally prepared to send you a letter."
"Hey, come to my house for a drink later, Ergouzi will come too. There will be meat and peanuts."
"Okay, I'm good at eating big people."
"I am not a wealthy person, I am a worker. Do the working class understand that workers are the masters of the country? You have to call yourself master."
Chen Laizi ignored Luo Cheng. In rural areas, rural people said that farmers are now the masters of the country. Workers in the city say that this is the era of workers, and workers are the masters of the country, even in factories. If the factory director is not convinced by the crowd, workers can directly overthrow him.
But those who don't say they are the masters of their own country can command these masters.
On Chen Laizi's side, the time spent is considered to be the shortest. Anyway, the notice is enough. In the end, he went directly to Luo Cheng's parents' house, and here, Luo Cheng's mother and sister were at home, but the others were not.
After asking, I found out that after the others finished work and had dinner in the morning, they found it troublesome to go back and forth, so they found a place to lie down under a big tree near where they were working.
Luo Cheng's mother and sister came back to wash clothes at noon. They got up early to work in the fields and washed clothes either at noon or at night. And they live at the foot of the mountain. Carrying water to wash clothes is not as good as taking clothes to a small river farther away for washing. Naturally, it is more convenient to come back and wash at noon. After washing and drying, the clothes will be dry in the evening.
Luo Cheng handed the eggs and peanuts to his mother and listened to her nagging for a while. Fortunately, they were going to work in the fields at this time. Luo Cheng was a little reluctant to listen to his mother's nagging. Originally, he had a job and was fine, but this matter also had to involve his brother Luo Qiang. He said it would be great if his brother also had a job in the city. This made Luo Cheng feel that his own job was not as good as his brother's job.
Maybe Luo Cheng is overthinking, but he can't just think about his brother when something good happens. Luo Cheng's sister Luo Yan was chatting happily with Zhao Qian, but she didn't know what they were talking about and was a little secretive.
I joined the work, and my parents had finished sending things to me, so I naturally went back. On the way back, I could hear cicada cries everywhere, and I also saw insects such as beetles and 'King Kong' as I passed by some trees.
The real name of the bug "King Kong" may not be that, but the shell is quite hard and shiny. It is a toy of many children. If it has a watermelon rind and is placed in a slightly warmer place on a hot day, it can attract this kind of bug. After catching it, use a thin string to help connect the gaps in its shell, and then you can hold it and fly it like a kite.
However, when children play with this, they will basically die from it within a short time. Because when it is not flying, the child will basically throw the rope and let it continue to fly. The insect will be thrown to death even if it is not exhausted.
"Qian, when we get to the city, I will buy you new clothes. You will definitely look good in them."
"Well~~, you are so kind."
On the way, Luo Cheng suddenly pulled his wife and said, she was naturally happy to hear that her man took her to the city to buy new clothes.
"Then you feed me tonight. You're going to have babies and feed them anyway, so you need to get used to them first."
"Rogue, shameless."
"Don't walk so fast. You're not a little girl anymore. You're still shy."
Looking at my daughter-in-law running away from me, I said that I had bought clothes for her and wanted to feed myself some milk. It was true.
Returning home in the afternoon, Luo Cheng asked Zhao Qian to pack the things in the barrel. When we had lunch with Accountant Zhao, her father-in-law, Luo Cheng took out the food from the barrel, and Zhao Qian never turned it over.
Roast duck, pork head, meat, steamed buns, peanuts, and a lot of cantaloupe.
"This is a roast duck bar, and there are so many 'legua's. How much does it cost to have so many things?"
"It doesn't cost much. As long as your dad helps me get the job done, I will get a lot of bonuses. Your dad will call the leaders in the town and they will definitely explain the matter first. If it's not right, he won't Come and eat. If you come and eat here, most of the basic things will be settled. No one will come tomorrow, so we will eat slowly and take good care of you."
When I bought the roast duck, I originally wanted to give it to my wife and Ergouzi to try. Regarding the acquisition of prey, I originally thought that it would be enough to ask my father-in-law to come forward. I suddenly thought that it would be better to treat me to a meal. This person is short-handed, so a meal would not cost a hundred yuan in the future time and space.
But now these dishes need to be packed and prepared for the food that will be served to people tomorrow. All the food must be put on a plate, and then a wooden basin or something that can hold water should be used to get some water, not exceeding the height of the plate. Just put the plate with food in a basin of water.
At least if you do it this way, even if the weather is hot, it won't go bad if you leave it for a day.
Keep the roast duck, buy a lot of pig head meat, eat some at night, it will be enough for tomorrow, just eat the meat at night.
"It's better to have a woman at home. The houses in the urban area are full of dust. I just wiped the bed board and the stool I was sitting on. Qian, when you go to the urban area, someone will clean up the room."
"Well, what's our house like in the city?"
"That house is better than yours. It's a brick house. There are two rooms, one is for living in, and the other is a woodshed and kitchen together. Even the kitchen is bigger than the one we live in now."
Luo Cheng was talking while gesticulating, while Zhao Qian was sorting out the food, and now she has finished eating. He also helped Luo Cheng pack his clothes. Luo Cheng actually only wore the clothes he bought at the supply and marketing cooperative for a day and a half. He didn't feel any smell. But Zhao Qian smelled it and was ready to wash it.
