Divination in the 1970s

"I smelled the fragrance from far away. What delicious food are you cooking, Mr. Xie?"

Old Xu walked in with a bulging belly and a bright smile on his face. It was not easy for him to finally enter the old Xie's house alive.

Thinking about the past few days, it was a handful of sad tears. The old woman at home only fried vegetables these days, and there was not even a piece of meat. All the money on him was taken away by the old woman. It was impossible for him to eat outside.

But at this time, there was always the smell of meat outside. It was pitiful enough that he couldn't eat it, and he was tempted by the smell of meat from time to time. He really couldn't bear it, so he smelled one by one, and finally confirmed that it was the old Xie's house.

When he first smelled the aroma of meat from Old Xie's house, he wanted to go there immediately to get some food, but every time he was caught by the old woman with sharp eyes before he left the house, he had a very hard time. His mouth smelled like a bird, and the gluttony in his stomach made him dream about eating meat. When he woke up in the morning, his pillowcase was wet.

Today, he finally took the opportunity when the old woman asked him to buy soy sauce to sneak out. Before he went out, he even looked at the lunch dishes and they still didn't smell of meat at all.

He didn't care about soy sauce or not. He couldn't live without eating meat. No matter what, he had to eat meat first.

Mr. Xie was sitting on the sofa in the living room, flipping through the newspaper, wondering if his great-grandson was already in his grandson's wife's belly. He knew that the young couple loved each other very much, and he couldn't help but smile as he thought about it.

Who knew that Old Xu suddenly appeared, and he was almost scared, so he glared at Old Xu, "You have a really sharp nose, You go wherever there is a fishy smell, and you don't even look at your current state. I advise you to take it easy and not be too greedy. "

Old Xu smiled and didn't even bother to thank the old man for his greeting. He just sat down and said, "Old Xie, you don't know how miserable I am. I haven't eaten meat for a few days. I don't know what's wrong with my wife. Not only did she skimp on the meat, she also didn't even bother to put oil in the stir-fried vegetables. The dishes she cooked were the same as our 25,000-mile Long March. We are both very good eaters."

He sighed and continued, "Look, we are old and we don't know how long we can live. If we don't eat something, we will have no chance. You eat delicious food every day, how can you understand my hardship."

Mr. Xie was both angry and amused by what Mr. Xu said. He thought that he could not guess his little tricks and just wanted to come to his house to eat some meat. He made himself look so pitiful.

"Old Xu, your wife is controlling your meat for your own good. Have you forgotten what the doctor said? If your blood pressure goes up, you might have a stroke. You have seen people who have had a stroke and are unable to move in bed. You won't be able to eat meat, not to mention meat."

Old Xu shuddered. He didn't want to be a living dead. "Old Xie, don't scare me. I just eat two pieces of meat to relieve my hunger. How can it be so serious? You won't be reluctant to give up a few pieces of meat and deliberately want to scare me back. I'm not scared. If I can't eat meat today, I won't leave."

Old Xie rolled his eyes. Old Xu was judging him by his own standards. If he hadn't seen that Old Xu was a comrade-in-arms who came out of the trenches, he would have been too lazy to say it.

"Look at your rogue appearance, I don't know if you will lead the soldiers astray. For a few pieces of meat, you don't even care about your face. It's really a disgrace to us veterans."
