Chapter 226 Telegram from Inside and Outside
Chapter 226 Telegram from Inside and Outside
Jiang He underestimated his own injury.
So when he went out with Shen Wanqing, he had to cross his legs and hum with every step.
Shen Wanqing felt refreshed. After adapting to the situation, she didn't even have much reaction, except for her rosy little face.
She also had to support Jiang He a little, making Jiang He lose face.
Jiang He forced himself to go back. Miao Xiaoyu was plucking the feathers of a goose. When she saw Shen Wanqing's gaze, she thought she was laughing at her for squatting in front of Jiang He. Her face turned red and she didn't dare to raise her head.
Shen Wanqing pinched Jiang He quietly: "You really married a good wife!"
"Of course not. When I go back tonight, I have to pamper my wife!"
Shen Wanqing giggled: "You? Are you okay? Don't waste it!"
Jiang He raised his eyebrows and said, "It's not the only way!"
Shen Wanqing was slightly stunned, then nodded in agreement: "That's right, when you were lying behind me and doing it, it really felt like doing serious work.
You're eating now, aren't you being a bit perfunctory by skipping this step?!"
"You also skipped a crucial step!"
At this time, Miao Xiaoyu had already taken the goose out of the bucket.
It is not suitable to eat geese in this season because the snow has melted and there are hairs in the meat.
However, Miao Xiaoyu used tweezers to pull them out one by one.
In Northeast China, people eat big geese. All the ways of braising, roasting and grilling have to be put aside. We only have one way of eating it, which is to cook the goose in an iron pot.
Chop the goose into small pieces, add a little oil in the pan, then throw the goose into the big iron pan, and it will be stir-fried.
At this time, there is food and drink, and the geese are fat. A big goose is fried until the skin is golden brown and the goose fat almost covers the goose meat.
I fried myself in my own oil.
Then add onion, ginger, star anise and other seasonings, add some water and simmer slowly on low heat. When it is almost done, you can add potatoes, cabbage, vermicelli, whatever you have at home, it will taste good.
The iron pot is delicious because of the big goose.
In fact, the main reason why it is fragrant is that it contains a lot of oil. When you take a bite, let’s not talk about what the meat tastes like, but the strong aroma of the oil even makes you feel like drinking meat oil and choking your throat.
Something stewed with so much oil would taste delicious even if it was just a wooden stick.
After today's meal, the new house will be completed. Even the floor is paved with half-foot thick wooden planks, and people lie on the ground and use a planer to smooth it out.
This house looks like a traditional wooden-concrete house from the outside, but once you go inside, you will realize that it is definitely the best house in the surrounding villages, or even in Yalin.
But the house is still a bit empty, and what's left are furniture and other things.
Miao Xiaoyu is very rare. Which woman doesn't want to have her own little home with her man after getting married?
It's not that you are unfilial to your parents, but the old people are still strong and healthy. Why are you putting them together? You are afraid that they will fight, right?
When you lose your ability to work and cannot move, that is the time to be filial.
Miao Xiaoyu even wanted to move in today, but Jiang He forcibly carried her back.
The newly built house is too damp, so we need to burn a fire for a few days to warm it up. It would be best to wait until the summer heat and autumn before moving in.
Otherwise, the house will be too damp and you will easily get sick.
Miao Xiaoyu was particularly excited today and wanted to eat Jiang He, but he was pinched by the big goose.
But Jiang He was also sensible and used other methods to hold Miao Xiaoyu.
For the first time, Miao Xiaoyu no longer held back and released her emotions completely.
It was really hard for Old Mrs. Chen. She had to cover Xiaoqing's ears, for fear of waking the little girl up and asking for details. How would she explain it then?
Jiang He didn't wake up until noon, but there was no one at home. Needless to say, they must have gone to the new house.
Jiang He held a steamed bun in his mouth, put on his clothes and went out.
Over in the new house, Miao Xiaoyu ordered Chunyu around very happily, and Chunyu was happy to let her do it, just so that she could get closer to her from time to time, rub against her, just like a dog.
Jiang Dashan and Sun Mancang were tidying up the yard, while my mother and Old Mrs. Chen were thinking about what to plant in the back garden.
Everyone has something to do, except Jiang He.
Jiang He quickly picked up the shovel and wanted to level the yard.
Sun Mancang stopped him and said, "Come on, pack up these materials first. We'll bring back two carts of river pebbles and use them as a cushion. Take a look at this first!"
Sun Mancang said this and took out a telegram and handed it to Jiang He.
Jiang He took a look at the telegram. There were only a few simple words on it: There is something happening in the mountains. Would you like to help?
Many people in later generations don’t know about the telegraph. In those days, the telegraph was the fastest means of communication, and it was charged by the word, which was very expensive, so people kept it as simple as possible.
But once you get a telegram, you can be sure it's something urgent.
Generally speaking, receiving a telegram is not a good thing. It usually means "return home quickly after your father's death" or "return home quickly after your mother's death".
"Is this... a telegram from Old Goldhead?"
Jiang He looked at the signature and saw that it was from Changbai Mountain.
"Yeah, there must be something going on in the mountains, and they're short of help. I'm old and can't run long distances anymore. If you have time, come over!"
Sun Mancang glanced at the new house and waved his hand, "If you don't have time, forget it!"
Jiang He thought for a moment and said, "Let's go. Lao Jin is a very kind person and he won't cheat us!"
When Cheng Feiyu heard they were going to Changbai Mountain, he jumped up and down: "I'll go, I'll go, I'll go too. I'll take care of the tickets and everything!"
A group of people hurried back to the town. In those days, if you wanted to buy a sleeper ticket, you had to get a letter of introduction from your work unit. Without a letter of introduction, you couldn't buy a long-distance bus ticket, and you would have no place to stay if you stayed in another place.
Cheng Feiyu got a letter of introduction directly from the Forestry Bureau, and also found the railway through the connection of the Forestry Bureau. He bought sleeper berths, all of which were lower berths.
The group of five first went to Liu Lili's house to have a meal, then took their luggage, hid the gun in the luggage roll, and took the gun and ammunition together on the train.
The train departed at night, and when we set off, we drove through the pitch-black mountains and couldn't see anything.
Everyone was very excited at first, but after playing poker for a while, they got bored. They ate and drank together, and then lay down to sleep.
Jiang He was about to fall asleep when he was suddenly tickled twice on the soles of his feet.
When Jiang He stood up, he saw Shen Wanqing standing in the aisle of the sleeper berth, hooking her finger at him.
Jiang He glanced at Chun Yu who was snoring beside him, quietly got up, and followed Shen Wanqing to the car connection.
"What are you going to do?"
Shen Wanqing gave him a blank look and said, "I'm worried about your injury. Let's go to the bathroom and I'll check it out for you!"
"You're too impatient! It's not like you're hungry!"
Jiang He said this, but he still looked around. The train was clattering on the rails. There were few people in the sleeper car, and everyone was asleep.
The two of them turned sideways and went into the bathroom. This time it was Shen Wanqing's turn to check Jiang He's injuries.
If you pinch a goose, it will probably die at most. How serious can it be? After a day and a night, there will only be a few small bruises on the surface, and it will not affect anything else.
Shen Wanqing squatted in front of Jiang He and said, "This time, we have to go through all the necessary procedures. I want everything your wife has enjoyed!"
