I rushed to Uncle Ma's house, threw the egg in front of Aunt Ma, and said out of breath, "Aunt Ma, the egg that Uncle Ma gave you..." Aunt Ma was washing her hair shirtless in the yard, and was startled by the pile of cow eggs bouncing around at her feet.She grabbed the flowing hair with her hands, squinted her eyes and said, "You brat, what did you get?" "Uncle Ma's beef balls," I said, "Uncle Ma asked you to remove the sinews first." Aunt Ma said: "It's disgusting, where's your Uncle Ma?" I said, "I'll be there right away. Together with Comrade Dong from the commune's veterinary station, we're going to have a drink!"

Aunt Ma hastily pulled the gown over her body, wiped her hair with a towel, and said, "You child, why didn't you tell me earlier! Old Comrade Dong is a distinguished guest, and you won't even be able to invite him!" Just as he was talking, Uncle Ma pushed Comrade Dong's car into the courtyard.Old Comrade Dong bowed his waist, stuck his head forward, his neck was long, like a goose; his legs were still a little lame, like a lame goose. Uncle Ma said loudly: "Shopkeeper, look who is here?" Aunt Ma beamed and said, "Hey, isn't this old Comrade Dong? What wind brought you, a big cadre, here?"

Old Comrade Dong said: "I didn't expect you to know me." Aunt Ma said, "How dare you not know him? Last year you gave my family a piggy!" Old Comrade Dong said: "It's been a year since I've seen you, and you're still as white as ever." Aunt Ma said: "I'm talking about old Comrade Dong, we can't curse people in this way. Only by throwing me into the coal pile can it appear in vain." Uncle Ma said: "It's sunny, what kind of hair do you wash?" Aunt Ma said: "Isn't Comrade Dong coming? We have to make a good impression on the leader."

Uncle Ma said: "Whether you wash it or not, you look like a bear. Hurry up and clean up the eggs. Old Comrade Dong and I will have a drink. Are there any eggs left? We'd better cook another plate of eggs for us." Aunt Ma said, "Eggs? If I were a hen, I would give you a few." Comrade Dong said: "Sister-in-law, don't bother." Aunt Ma said: "You're here, it's time to make trouble. Comrade Dong, you go sit on the kang first, and I'll clean it up right away." "That's right," Uncle Ma pushed Old Comrade Dong, and said, "Go to the kang and go to the kang."

Uncle Ma pushed old Comrade Dong onto the kang, turned out and said, "Luohan, help your aunt clean up." "Accompany your guests, don't make trouble here!" Aunt Ma said, "Luohan, help me press some water from the well!" I pressed two buckets of water. Aunt Ma said, "Cut a handful of leeks in the corner for me." I cut a handful of leeks from the corner of the wall. Aunt Ma said, "Help me wash the leeks." I washed the leeks carelessly. I squatted beside Aunt Ma and watched Aunt Ma put the eggs on the cutting board and cut them with a kitchen knife.The knife is not fast and cannot cut.Aunt Ma put the kitchen knife on the edge of the water tank and bored it a few times, chi chi chi chi, sparks came out.Take it over and try it, it is much faster.Cut the cow's egg in half, and found that there are many tendons inside, which cannot be removed at all.But at this time, Uncle Ma knocked on the window lattice and told us: "Pick out the glutinous sinews, or you won't be able to eat it!" "I'll pick it up for you? Go to the hospital and bring a sharp knife to pick it up, but you can't pick it up!" Aunt Ma didn't pick it up at all, and picked up the kitchen knife, chopping up the six eggs into a pile of meat.Aunt Ma also said: "You can't be ashamed to ask Chiang Kai-shek's chef to cook this stuff. What you eat is the smell, don't you think so?" I kept saying yes.At this time, Uncle Ma knocked on the window lattice again and urged: "Hurry up!"

Aunt Ma said: "Okay, okay, let's start the pot now. Arhat, you go and help me light the fire." I went to the stove, pulled a handful of day lilies from the corner of the grass, and lit the fire. Aunt Ma rinsed the pot with a broom, and then took a few drops of oil from the oil pot behind the pot.The aroma immediately rushed into my nose. At this time, someone shouted outside the gate: "Captain! Captain!" I immediately recognized Uncle Du's voice. Immediately afterwards, Uncle Du took the reins of the cattle and entered the gate. The three cows that had just been tortured were squeezed side by side outside the gate.

Uncle Ma jumped off the kang, rushed into the yard, and said, "What are you doing? What do you want to do?" Old Comrade Dong also ran into the yard and asked with concern, "Is there anything wrong?" Uncle Du didn't agree with Comrade Dong's words, and complained to Uncle Ma: "Master Captain, you only care about what you eat and drink, how about me?" Uncle Ma said: "Old Du, you are old, why are you so ignorant like a child? There is also a concierge in the country to entertain guests. Qiao Guanhua invited Kissinger to dinner. Do you want to accompany him?"

"I didn't mean that at all!" Uncle Du said anxiously. "You don't mean what do you mean?" Uncle Ma asked. Uncle Du said: "Old Comrade Dong repeatedly told us not to let them lie down, especially not to let the double ridges lie down, right? As soon as they lie down, the wound will break free, right? If the wound breaks free, it will be fine, right? But they want to Get down, I hold them and they will get down, and they will get down as soon as I leave them." Uncle Ma said: "Then don't leave!" Uncle Du said: "Then I have to go home to eat, right? If I don't go to eat cow eggs with Comrade Dong, I have to go home and eat a piece of sweet potato, right? Besides, the thirteen cows in the production team must be fed, right? I Do you have to get some sleep too?..."

"Understood, understood, you don't need to say anything, the party will not treat you badly." Uncle Ma shouted in the yard, "Luohan, I will give you a good job to go for a walk with Uncle Du, and I will give you a credit card." work points." Aunt Ma put the eggs into the oil pan.There was a creaking sound in the pot, and the smell and aroma rushed straight to the roof. "Luohan, did you hear that?" Uncle Ma yelled in the yard. Aunt Ma said quietly, "Go, I'll leave a bowl for you, and I'll call you when it gets dark." I got up and went to the yard, and saw that the red sun had already set.
