Chapter 100: : Filial piety requires money piles (8 more)
People in Yangcheng love morning tea.
In the early years, older people carried bird cages, drank tea and snacks to show off the birds they had brought, but now there are not many people raising birds, but the habit of eating morning tea is still maintained. However, there are not many young people who eat morning tea on weekdays. Xia Xiaolan is more eye-catching. She ordered a few famous refreshments to try Liu Fen.
Liu Fen has lived for so many years and has not eaten in a restaurant.
Even if she married Xia Dajun back then, she never served a drink. She remembered that it was 63 years, and the family life was really unsuccessful. Her brother Liu Yong was worried about how to raise the two sisters at home and asked a matchmaker to find someone for Liu Fen. The matchmaker said that the Xia family has three sons, all of whom are strong laborers, and Liu Fen will definitely be able to eat well after marrying.
At that time Tian was a collective and had to go to work every day to earn work points. The eldest son of the Xia family was married, and there were five strong laborers in the family. Isn't it better than others? However, Liu Fen remembers clearly that the so-called full stomach, but it was noodles two days before the wedding, and on the third day it was replaced with noodle soup and sweet potato porridge.
The marriage was moved from Qijing Village to Dahe Village.
Xia Xiaolan was born as a girl, Grandma Xia was not satisfied, Dajun Xia was also disappointed, and no one wanted to give a full moon.
In the confinement, Liu Yong didn't know where he brought a chicken to be delivered. Liu Fen was divided into two chicken wings. Liu Fen still didn't know whose belly the other parts were. In Xia's family, she had never eaten neatly arranged meals. Old lady Xia was in charge of the house, and she would not give her a daughter-in-law who would not have a son to eat something good.
Ironically, the most orderly and hearty meal Liu Fen ate was when she divorced Xia Dajun. Liu Yong was overjoyed and invited some villagers to dinner... Liu Fen still remembered which dishes Li Fengmei made. It was also a banquet made by the rural people themselves, and a restaurant that had morning tea like today made Liu Fen uneasy.
The noodle soup eaten in Anqing County and the donkey meat soup eaten in Shangdu are all small stalls.
The restaurant Xia Xiaolan brought her to was too grand, and Liu Fen was afraid of being laughed at... She was fortunate that she was wearing the new clothes Xia Xiaolan bought last night before going out in the morning, otherwise she would be ashamed of Xiaolan today.
Exquisite refreshments quickly filled the table.
"Mom, try this crab bun."
"Spare ribs in black bean sauce."
Xia Xiaolan slowly introduced the raw beef porridge, crystal shrimp dumplings, fried spring rolls, barbecued pork buns, crispy egg tarts, money belly... and a pot of Tieguanyin. In 1983, two people can order so many, which is really a hawker.
The two old men nearby were muttering that they were rich. They spoke in Yangcheng dialect, but Liu Fen couldn't understand it. Xia Xiaolan answered calmly:
"Take my mother to try it out."
People in Yangcheng don't like to speak Mandarin. Those who speak Mandarin are all outsiders, and outsiders are poor.
Xia Xiaolan, a foreigner, was upright and arrogant, leaving the two old men with nothing to say. People are not showing off their wealth, but filial piety. The children and grandchildren in their family may not be able to spend so much money for their elders.
"Too much, too much..."
These three words are what Liu Fen said the most, over and over again.
Xia Xiaolan is very experienced in dealing with her, only that it has been delivered, and will not be refunded if she doesn't eat it. The table is full. Liu Fen doesnt speak anymore. Now everyone has a large appetite. In fact, there is nothing to eat. Its just economically unbearable. Most people have a pot of tea with two snacks and can chat two or three. Hours.
Xia Xiaolan brought her mother to eat, there is not so much small talk.
Is it delicious?
Naturally it is delicious.
The materials used are so real, she chose time-honored brands, and every refreshment is above the standard. Some time-honored stores in later generations became chain stores, and the daily passenger flow was too large, and Xia Xiaolan felt quite ordinary after eating tea.
Now, it hasn't been changed by the tide of the times. If you can enjoy it a few times, naturally you have to hurry up.
Liu Fen didn't understand Yangcheng dialect, and the tea shoppers on the left and right were muttering something, but she could feel the envy of those people. What do you envy, envy her for having a good daughter, Liu Fen realized this, and the things in his mouth seemed more delicious.
She pushed the ribs in front of Xia Xiaolan:
"Xiaolan, you eat too."
She didn't know how troublesome it was to make crab buns and pastry tarts. She thought that meat was a good thing, so she left the ribs for Xia Xiaolan.
Xia Xiaolan didn't explain either, and readily accepted Liu Fen's kindness.
The mother and daughter are eating together, and there are some elegant seats separated by carved doors and windows in the restaurant.
Where are the two middle-aged men sitting, there are two or three plates of refreshments on the table, but they can sit in the elegant seats. Seeing his companion glanced at the mother and daughter who were having morning tea in the lobby, the other sighed:
"The number of out-of-towners in Yangcheng has been increasing in the past two years."
The middle-aged man wearing glasses nodded, "The wealth of Yangcheng is incomparable to inland cities. With the guidance of Pengcheng Special Economic Zone, the gap between Yangcheng and inland cities will become wider and wider. Within a few years, inland residents will swarm. To."
"You are very optimistic about the Pengcheng Special Economic Zone?"
The current Pengcheng Special Economic Zone is still under construction, and it is far from the profound Yangcheng. Where was originally a spontaneous bazaar, even if it was transformed into a special zone, would it surpass Yangcheng?
There are many high-rise buildings in Yangcheng, which is not worse than Beijing and Shanghai stock market.
Can Pengcheng Special Economic Zone surpass Yangcheng?
The man in glasses didn't argue with his companions, like the girl who had tea outside, he had met on the train last time, but he had forgotten which village was in the lower Henan Province. At that time, she was not so lavish, but in just one month, it seemed that she had found her first pot of gold in Yangcheng.
There will only be more and more mainlanders coming to search for gold like her.
The construction of the special zone also requires a lot of labor. How to manage the migrant population, starting from the "Beizijiao" on the bank of Dapeng Bay in the east, to the "Anle Village" by the Pearl River Estuary in the west, the 86-kilometer "second line" project, Can it really prevent capitalist things from infiltrating inland?
In April last year, construction of the 2.8-meter-high barbed wire began, and it is still under construction.
Can a barbed wire prevent the penetration of capitalism?
People's natural yearning for a good life can be blocked by a barbed wire fence. Enclosing the Pengcheng Special Zone may not have any effect.
The middle-aged man didn't have the thoughts of reminiscing with Xia Xiaolan.
You can drink morning tea when you are busy. It is basically impossible for him and a country girl like Xia Xiaolan to have an intersection in their lives. Even though they were very destined to ride the same train and stay in the same sleeping room, they were able to stay in the restaurant in Yangcheng at this time. Reunion in Li...That doesn't mean that he is going to have some relationship with Xia Xiaolan.
Oh, he remembers Xia Xiaolan is very clever.
Not only is clever, but also looks quite filial.
He glanced at Liu Fen, who was the most ordinary rural woman at the moment.
...
Xia Xiaolan didn't know that she had passed by the middle-aged person who happened to be on the train.
She took Liu Fen to play in Yangcheng for a day, not just near the railway station. Yangcheng is economically more developed than the commercial capital, including the Yangcheng White Swan Hotel, which was just completed this year. It is also called "32-story". It is located on Shamian Island, adjacent to the Baietan where the three rivers converge... Liu Fen has never seen a 32-story building. .
Xia Xiaolan said that she will come to Yangcheng again in two years, and strive to take Liu Fen to stay in the White Swan Hotel, overlooking Sanjiang, with beautiful scenery.
Liu Fen recites Amitabha in her heart. How can she enjoy this kind of thing? I dare not think, dare not think.
In the afternoon, Xia Xiaolan came to the wholesale stall in accordance with Yan. The boss really got the cotton-padded clothescompared to the action of pulling other clothes from the snakeskin bag, he took the cotton-padded clothes softly.
These cotton-padded clothes were beyond Xia Xiaolan's expectations: "Cold clothes?!"
