Chapter 269 269. Sesame leaf noodles
As night falls, smoke gradually begins to burn in the village.
In this slow-paced old village, the middle-aged and elderly people left behind are still familiar with the slow pace of the past. The younger ones still use gas stoves, while the older ones still use earth stoves.
Therefore, every time it’s meal time, fireworks are going off in various houses, and the dark orchid night makes the whole person feel peaceful from the inside out.
But... the quiet people obviously did not include Song Sancheng.
Today, he took Qiao Qiao and turned over a long piece of land. He watched the child conscientiously plant the corn and sorghum according to his own ideas, and then came back with the hoe.
During this period, I also made a special trip home to see my old house.
This house has been with him for 20 years, a full 20 years!
The white paint on the wall was repainted six years ago. Two pieces of the asbestos tiles overhead were blown off by strong winds three years ago and temporarily replaced. The dining room kitchen on the left was slowly repositioned and re-expanded.
The utility shed was previously stocked with his various tools and fishing rods.
And now...
He put the towel into the water in the yard, twisted it, and then wiped the sweat from his body:
“Building a house is a big deal now!”
There was surprise and expectation in the loud voice: "It only took a long time, and the house was dried to pieces. All the bricks and cement blocks were piled aside with the shovel of the forklift."
"The cement layer on the ground is also crumbled, and you can see the soil underneath."
"When I came back, they had not finished their work. They were spreading lime lines and said they would dig foundations and trenches according to this tomorrow - amazing, amazing! The foundation can be laid in one day tomorrow! It's so fast!"
Ulan is also full of expectations.
Everyone has seen the design drawings given by Zhao Fangyuan, as well as the 3D renderings. But rural people believe that seeing is believing. No matter how good your drawings are, no one can tell what the finished product will look like.
But now, seeing the current progress of the project, the couple sincerely looked forward to the presentation of the renderings.
"You said that if this is completed, wouldn't we be the first villa in the village? It will also be a big villa!
"What do you know?"
Song Sancheng spoke eloquently: "This is called a Chinese garden!"
"What kind of garden? There are small bridges and flowing water in the garden. This is good. At most, there is a big pond next to the yard. How about raising a few more fish and raising mosquitoes in the summer!"
Song Youde was not happy to see his son behave like this.
Wang Lifen, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed to speak: "Shouldn't our yard be renovated by then? How about renovating it? Don't do anything fancy, I can't handle it."
Their house was probably older than Song Sancheng's. Song Tan had already asked Zhao Fangyuan to come up with a picture, and now he made a decision:
"Grandma, don't worry, I'll do it for you!"
But Wang Lifen laughed: "I want you to worry about me. Why do I think my granddaughter is capable? It's just you who pays for it."
"It's your father and uncle's job to build a house for us. We, the old couple, also have some savings."
"I'm thinking that if we, the two of us, come out with 40,000 yuan, and the two brothers can chip in, we can just renovate the house."
"That's the truth."
At this time, Song Youde, who loves to show off, also agreed.
My granddaughter bought me a small electric car. That is my granddaughter's filial piety. But he has to ask his granddaughter to pay for building a house, so what's the use of raising these two good grown-ups?
What's more, they live as a couple, what kind of garden do they need? Just build a bright main room, change the layout of the bedrooms, and install a toilet - as I get older, squatting down to go to the toilet is a bit difficult.
There is also a bathroom, which should be kept warm.
Reinstall the window glass - the current glass is still old mahogany painted glass windows with small grids, dim and dark, patched again and again, not bright.
The adobe house next to it needs to be demolished and a new small warehouse built.
Song Youde did the calculations several times at night, and even asked the engineering team about the price of the materials - the materials didn't cost much.
Although the eldest son often complains about being poor, Song Youde is not a fool because of how much money he has in the urban area.
Not to mention too much, tens of thousands of dollars will do the trick, right?
He had not expected anything from his children for so many years. When the time comes, he just wants to live in a comfortable house.
The younger son has raised a good daughter, but he didn’t dare to say anything in the future. Now that he sees his child’s life getting better, he makes up his mind——
Speaking of which, he still took advantage of Tantan.
——The wages of this engineering team are quite high!
Song Youde has actually discussed with Wang Lifen that after a hundred years, the three children of Qiansha will be divided equally, and the old house will be given to Tantan and Qiaoqiao.
To Tantan, they know how good the child is.
They gave it to Qiaoqiao because they felt sorry for their children.
For Song Youde, who wanted to distribute all the family property to his eldest son and grandson according to the rules, this was the biggest breakthrough he had ever made.
As for the brothers... they should get their fair share of building a house for their parents!
The two of them don't work or contribute, and their family will get eight thousand yuan. In the next few years, they will not need their filial piety money.
The couple has land and hands and nothing to eat.
As for furniture and appliances - oh, Song Youde himself can do some simple carpentry skills. Among other things, he can do beds, tables, chairs and benches!
As for electrical appliances, install an air conditioner, and you can still watch the old TV, that's fine.
Song Tan didn't stop him either.
This is the rule in the village. When a son gets a share of the family property, he must be filial.
She thought about it and didn't say that she would arrange the furniture and appliances herself - she would definitely not be agreed if she did.
Anyway, let's do it first, she will plan it in advance when the time comes.
We got together later and after discussing family matters, the seventh cousin began to add oil to the pot, poured a large bowl of chopped green onion into it and stir-fried it. When it was browned and fragrant, add a bowl of flour!
The whole pan was filled with yellow and sticky green onions, and then it was served.
The chopped green onions are from the vegetable field. The overbearing and fragrant aroma came to the nostrils at this moment, and everyone subconsciously swallowed their saliva——
In other words, it smells so good, why isn’t it worth twenty?
Fortunately, the enticing smell didn't dissipate for long. Soon, the pot was washed once and oil was poured in again, then minced ginger and garlic cloves were added, and stir-fried again.
Grandma Seven poured in the blanched black and green sesame leaves, and Cousin Seven quickly threw in a handful of bean sprouts.
After thinking about it, after all, they are all a group of people who work hard, and those who just eat vegetarian food will not be hungry.
So I added the diced pork belly that had been fried in a large bowl on the side and started to stir-fry.
When everyone was so fragrant that they could hardly sit still, he added a few ladles of water and threw in a lot of freshly rolled noodles.
Heat oil in another pot, crackle and fry the eggs, and then fry the peanuts in a bowl and pound them into half-broken particles.
Several pots were moving at the same time, but the seventh cousin's expression was still unhurried and his hands were busy but not chaotic. The style of a chef was really obvious.
Qiaoqiao was doing the trick next to him, already breaking out in a hot sweat.
When the noodles in the pot started to become sticky, the seventh cousin then mixed in the green onion paste that had been stir-fried with hot oil and flour.
A large bowl of sesame leaf noodles, sprinkle some chopped peanuts on top, add some fragrant chili oil, and add a brown and fragrant egg at the end...
Dinner is ready!
Sesame leaf noodles! ! ! I really want to eat it...
Now every household in our village squats (I like the rigid rule hahaha!), and running water has been available for a few years. Although the mountain villages are poor, they are also developing where they should be.
Good night babies.
