Chapter 7, Whose prank?
He found fresh pork and two pieces of tofu next to it. Zhang Xuan knew what was going on without having to guess.
Too lazy to think too much, I took out the fried tofu until it was golden on both sides, washed and minced the meat, then threw it into the pan and stir-fried for a while, then added the garlic, chili pepper, and tofu together. After a while, the meat was fragrant.
Zhang Xuan couldn't wait any longer. He twisted a piece and put it in his mouth. It was delicious and full of meaty flavor. He twisted another piece and put it in his mouth. It was still delicious and full of meaty flavor...
The breakfast includes meat, tofu, bright red and sour chili peppers, and stir-fried cabbage. It’s so rich.
After Ruan Xiuqin came back, she looked at the dishes and then opened the lid of the rice cooker. The white rice stung her for a few seconds. In the end, without saying anything, she picked up two bowls and filled them with rice. One bowl, and another bowl for my son who was washing the vegetable pot under the faucet in the backyard.
While eating, Ruan Xiuqin asked: "Your sister went out with Ouyang Yong?"
"Um."
Zhang Xuan likes jar dishes, especially this sour chili. After taking a bite, the juice overflows the whole taste buds. It is so delicious that he ate several in a row before saying:
"Mom, have you noticed that when the eldest sister walked with Yang Ende, they could not fart even a single sound for several kilometers; but when she walked with Ouyang Yong, she couldn't stop laughing."
Ruan Xiuqin knew what he meant, paused, and insisted: "If you go out to study in the future, I will have no one to take care of your sister in a hundred years. Ouyang Yong can't keep her."
What a stick. The problem is that Yang Ende has seen it all his life, and the eldest sister will not be able to live well if she gets married. She sheds tears all day long, so she might as well not get married.
But he knew he couldn't argue directly with his mother like this, so Xuanxuanhu said:
"Mom, do you know that the saddest thing in the world is not that the dream has come to an end and there is no way to go; but that the road has not yet come to an end, but there is no way to dream.
The eldest sister has not graduated from elementary school and is not very clever. If she follows Yang Ende, who has also not graduated from elementary school, her life limit will be almost like this. Whether she can laugh in the end depends on your thoughts. "
Having said this, Zhang Xuan glanced at his mother, whose face was gradually turning pale, and continued without any intention of stopping:
"Society has changed a lot in recent years. Who knows whether it will be good or bad in the future? As my high school teacher said, China's economy is developing so fast. In the future, farmers will go out to make a lot of money, and the rural fields will become worthless. Is there still any use for Yang Ende, who is so powerful and powerful, that you have been thinking about for a long time?
Besides, given Yang Ende's stingy family style, he may not be willing to work for our family after marrying his wife. Such treacherous uncles are common in our village, and there are examples one after another. , please don’t pretend you can’t see it.
Besides, the second sister has already run away. Don’t force the eldest sister to run away too. There are only four people in our family."
Snapped!
Ruan Xiuqin was so angry that she stopped eating. She slammed her chopsticks on the table and opened her mouth several times to scold her son, but she swallowed back the words that came to her lips several times.
In the end, the old man just kept out of sight and went to her own room. After closing the door, she sat on the bedside and sulked alone.
Looking at Ruan Xiuqin's furious back, Zhang Xuan didn't say anything to persuade her to stay, nor did he follow up to try to persuade her.
He still knows about his mother, and his words have been very important to her since she was a child. Although she may not be able to figure it out for the time being, and maybe she won't be able to figure it out in the next few years, for the sake of her eldest sister, this strong medicine must be given when it is time.
After breakfast, Zhang Xuan tidied up, and then peeked at his mother through the crack in the door. After seeing her sitting on the edge of the bed knitting a sweater, he went out with confidence and followed the village's market-going troops in a mighty march toward the town. Set off.
The snowy road conditions were good, but the walking was not very fast. It took Zhang Xuan more than an hour to walk the 10 miles.
Afraid of the long queues, he went to the hospital first. The doctor looked at it carefully and said, "Your disease probably won't recur, but you'd better avoid eating too spicy food."
Zhang Xuan felt embarrassed when he heard this. When he was asked just now, he told people that he had eaten chili in the morning, but they immediately warned him.
He asked: "Then do I want to come to the hospital tomorrow?"
The doctor said, "The medicine prescribed for you will not be finished until tonight. It is best to come here tomorrow. Anyway, you are young, so this journey will not be difficult for you."
"good."
After leaving the hospital, Zhang Xuan went straight to the post office with a clear purpose.
In order to ensure safety and quick results, Zhang Xuan was extravagant and spent a lot of money to buy three registered letters.
Afraid of confusion, he deliberately sent the manuscript to Zhiyin magazine first. The other two letters were sent to "Xiaoxiang Morning News" and Changsha Evening News respectively.
After the matter was done, Zhang Xuan stamped his feet and breathed several times into his frozen fingers. It was so cold that he wanted to go home and sleep.
There was a woman next to her who wanted to glue envelopes and stamps. Seeing him occupying the position and jumping up and down, she also laughed out loud. After a long time, she tapped him with her finger.
"Excuse me."
Zhang Xuan was still very polite. He quickly gave up his position, retracted his fingers into his sleeves, and prepared to leave. After walking a few steps, he suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind.
"Zhang Xuan!"
Zhang Xuan turned around and saw Postman Lin carrying a satchel and coming out of the iron gate next to him. As soon as he saw him, he smiled and said, "You happen to be here. I just found your parcel when I was sorting the letters."
"My parcel?"
Zhang Xuan was confused when he heard this. He had not submitted any manuscripts recently, but he was confused, so he took the thing naturally and asked in passing when he said thank you:
"It's such a cold day, why do you still want to go out to deliver letters?"
"It's not far ahead, the reservoir." Postman Lin seemed to be in a hurry, so he left after saying that.
When he opened the mail package, he found a thick Xinhua Dictionary inside. This made Zhang Xuan speechless. He had no ability to contribute to the Xinhua Publishing House's dictionary.
I don’t know whose prank it is, or is there something hidden inside?
In spy dramas, the dictionary is often hollowed out to hide a gun or a miniature camera.
Thinking like this, he became happy. Could it be that someone really saw that their family situation was not good and hid a gold brick in it to save themselves? I guess no one is that stupid these days, right?
With questions in mind, Zhang Xuan began to flick through the pages of the dictionary with his fingers. The pages flowed on his fingertips. After a hundred or so pages, something suddenly floated and there was a green thing in the middle of the dictionary that was blown away by the wind coming in from the post office gate.
Zhang Xuan's eyes suddenly moved back, and he saw a cyan figure dancing in the air with the wind, and finally hit the glass partition wall of the postal hall with a bang.
His eyes slowly fell, and the green paper had the faces of four big guys printed on it, and it turned out to be one hundred yuan!
no! Is there really money in the dictionary?
Zhang Xuan was shocked by his previous joke! Fortunately, his reflex arc was fast enough. While the others in the hall were still confused, he rushed over and grabbed the money in his hand.
With so many people paying attention, Zhang Xuan didn't dare to stay here any longer, so Zhang Xuan ran outside with the dictionary in his arms.
At this time, the weather doesn't feel cold anymore, and my hands don't feel cold anymore. My mind is full of money, and I am thinking about who gave me this money?
Anyway, it can't be the remuneration given to me by a certain magazine. Unless the financial staff of a certain magazine has lost their minds, they did such a stupid thing!
Who is that?
ps: During the new book period, I’m asking for recommendation votes, monthly votes, rewards, investments and reviews, whatever.
