Finished work 15 minutes after leaving? What a way to put it in the countryside!
Liu Yuyan took Han Ting's hand and followed Han Songlin. At this point, Liu Yuyan didn't know what to say either.
Originally, Liu Yuyan wanted to say that Han Songlin could just take Han Ting to buy fish.
However, Han Songlin insisted that Liu Yuyan go with them.
Han Songlin carried Liu Yuyan out of the ground.
Let's go!
There's no rush.
After changing clothes at home, Han Songlin carried Han Ting, Liu Yuyan took the money, and they went to the village.
It took a while to walk to the village along the county road.
It was built in the 1950s or 1960s.
In the 1950s and 1960s, the entire country underwent many major projects.
Most of the country's reservoirs were built at that time.
They are still in use 30 years later.
However, at that time, there was a lot of silt in the reservoirs, and a nationwide dredging effort began.
In addition, the banks of the reservoirs were reinforced with cement.
At this time, a truck with a tarpaulin drove past towards the city; Han Songlin looked back curiously and saw that there were actually stools in the cargo compartment, and someone was sitting on them.
The truck was carrying people!
If he was caught by the traffic police 30 years later, he would definitely be fined.
Wait, this Han Songlin has an impression, a fragment of memory.
It is a memory of Han Ze when he was a child.
This kind of tarpaulin truck is now a rural passenger shuttle bus!
It is really a bit unexpected.
Moreover, Han Songlin also discovered that the current highway is much better than what he remembered as a child.
In his memory, the road was already in a terrible state, and sitting on the bus was like riding a roller coaster.
It wasn't until junior high school that it was rebuilt into a paved road.
There were very few cars on the highway now.
Apart from meeting one car, the three of them didn't encounter any more after leaving the county road.
It was a 20-minute walk, so you can imagine how few vehicles there are now.
The reservoir on this side of the village is quite large.
The family that manages the reservoir is related to the Hans.
The Han family has a daughter who married into the family.
'Songlin, this is your sister-in-law!'
Han Songlin's sister-in-law almost blurted out, 'Little sister, you caught a lot of fish today!'
The fish was placed in a wooden tub, which was used for threshing grain.
The inside of the tub was lined with plastic.
'Everything that grows is fine!'
Han Songlin picked a big fish. In fact, the fish caught today were all quite big.
Four or five catties long!
Liu Yuyan saw Han Songlin take one, and couldn't help but say, 'Take another one, there's still Mum!'
Mum?
Right, Granny Er is still alive!
No, it should be said that Han Songlin's mother is still alive.
When she was young, she liked Han Ze very much and would give him candy whenever she had it.
For the elderly in the countryside, the best thing they can give their children is food.
Because in their hearts, food is the most precious thing!
Only those who have experienced hunger will understand the preciousness of food.
Like us, we didn't understand this.
We were born at the beginning of a prosperous era and can be considered very lucky.
Being able to witness the prosperity of the times is perhaps the greatest blessing in life.
Han Songlin: 'Yes, yes! Let's buy one.'
In her heart, Han Ze also wanted to buy one to take back to Han Ze's parents, but that was unrealistic.
You always need a reason to do things!
'Get another one!'
Liu Yuyan was anxious: 'You can't eat more than you can finish!'
'It's fine, take one more back. If no one wants it, we can eat it ourselves! Fish is good for the brain, so we can give Ting'er some extra brain food!'
Liu Yuyan was a little unconvinced, having never heard that fish is good for the brain: 'Really?'
'I wouldn't lie to you!'
Before Liu Yuyan could say anything, someone on the side couldn't wait to ask, 'Han Madman, is it true that fish is good for the brain?'
Han Songlin didn't know who the person speaking was, but it didn't matter if he didn't know!
If you don't know, you can't speak, can't you tell stories?
"Really, the fish contains DHA, which promotes brain development. So, if you have children, buy them more fish to eat.'
'What is DHA?'
This one really stumped Han Songlin: 'DHA is DHA, what do you care what it is exactly, you wouldn't understand if I told you; just know that it's in the fish and it's good for children!'
'Right!'
'Then I'll buy one to take home for my child to eat!'
'I'll take one!'
'Me too!'
A few stalks of grain are threaded through the gills and out of the mouth, and then tied into a ring.
This way, the fish can be carried!
This is basically how fish are sold nowadays.
Han Ze was carrying three fish in one hand, so naturally he didn't have a chance to hold Han Ting.
On the way home, Liu Yuyan curiously asked, 'Is it true that fish have DHA?'
'Yes!'
Liu Yuyan looked at Han Ting and said, 'Then buy more fish to eat in the future!'
Doesn't every mother want their child to be smart?
It was quite a quick trip home.
When he passed by Han Ze's house, Han Songlin saw Han Songqing at home and felt a little awkward. Still, he asked, 'Brother Qing, I've brought you back a fish, do you want it?'
'Fish from San Cun?'
'Yes!'
'I was just saying that I was going to buy some. You've brought some back, that's perfect!'
He gave one to the Han Ze family. Han Songlin glanced at Han Ze playing, and Han Ze's sister!
Han Ze's sister was called Han Xiu Juan, and she was twelve years older than Han Ze.
When she was fifteen, she followed the villagers out to work.
Then, through an introduction, she met her other half.
Although life was hard, they were considered happy.
Even the rich people in this world lead hard lives.
What is the standard for hardship? I don't know.
If you are happy, you won't feel hardship!
When she returned home, Liu Yuyan took a fish and gave it to Han Songlin's mother.
Because of Han Songlin's previous situation, it was obviously unrealistic to support the elderly.
So the elderly lived with Han Songlin's younger brother, Han Songcai.
Han Songcai was a bit of a loose cannon.
Han Songlin didn't know how to describe him.
He loves playing mahjong!
Once he's at the mahjong table, he can't get off.
To be honest, there are a lot of people like him in Shuchuan.
Anyway, Han Songlin has met one before.
Wait!
Han Songlin suddenly remembered something!
What was Han Ze's job in his previous life?
He had done quite a few jobs, including a pretty laid-back one as a warehouse manager.
Then Han Ze and the warehouse security guard ate together.
The security guard liked to drink. During the day, he couldn't drink, but at night, he would drink a bit.
Not much, just one or two liang.
After drinking, he would go to bed.
After they got to know each other, the security guard told Han Ze about what he did before working as a security guard. He used to run a braised pork shop.
And the business was quite good, you could say it was booming.
He made a lot of money.
He bought a few apartments in Rongcheng.
Life was good, naturally it was quite prosperous.
But the world is always playing tricks on you in the quiet. He became obsessed with playing cards, losing a few hundred thousand yuan a day!
He didn't care about the braised pork shop anymore, just played cards.
His wife did the same as him, playing cards.
In the end, the braised pork shop couldn't continue to operate.
They lost both their houses playing mahjong.
Han Ze was undoubtedly a pretty good listener, and since he had a relatively good personality, he got along well with this friend, so he was very excited to talk about it.
One day, this friend was also drunk and happy; he then told Han Ze the recipe for the marinade.
He even went to the city specifically, took Han Ze with him to buy the ingredients, and then used an induction cooker to marinate the meat.
He taught Han Ze how to do it step by step!
He also told Han Ze that if he quit his job in the future, he could open his own braised pork shop and make a fortune.
Needless to say, Han Ze was really tempted.
Because the braised pork made with this marinade really tasted good.
Afterwards, Han Ze went back to his hometown and also braised things according to the recipe.
The taste was OK.
As for opening a shop, he gave up when he saw that there were braised pork shops everywhere on the street!
