The Year (35)

This year's autumn harvest is very positive. Finally, I don't have to look around for food. Because the grain is cooked.

First of all, shaving sweet potatoes, this thing does not need to be processed, washed and steamed, and then it can be eaten.

Today, the whole company is eating in the cafeteria, sweet potatoes, enough.

One person got two sweet potatoes, and Lin Yutong just wanted to ask the fourth master to go back. Otherwise, I really can't stuff this. Who knew that the company commander called the fourth master over and didn't know what to mutter. Then, I can only eat with everyone in the cafeteria.

"This year's sweet potatoes are particularly fragrant, what do you think?" asked Xu Juxiang.

Lin Yutong nodded. But in his heart, he said that he was very hungry. Eat everything deliciously.

Eating too many sweet potatoes has heartburn. The secretary came out with a large pot of washed green chili peppers and a plate of coarse salt.

I don't know when people thought that eating it with this combination would relieve the discomfort in the stomach.

Dip the green peppers in salt and eat them with sweet potatoes.

Anyway, Lin Yutong has never heard of any theoretical basis for this.

Xu Juxiang took a chili pepper for Lin Yutong, the dark green chili pepper was paired with bitter salt, and then took a bite of the watery and sweet new sweet potato. I don't want to eat it a second time.

After the autumn harvest, Lin Yutong and Bai Xiaomei sat on the kang and gave Bai Xiaomei's children diapers. I found so many clothes that the educated youth didn't want. It would be better if there were old autumn clothes and pants, and the diapers for children would be soft to absorb water.

"After you dismantle this, you have to boil it first and expose it to the sun. Otherwise, it's not good for the child. Lin Yutong helped her dismantle it. While busy, while talking.

"Remembered. In the evening, I asked Cheng Hao to cook. Bai Xiaomei responded, "It's also cold this day." I don't know if there will be any work this year. ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to be busy. Lin Yutong said casually.

Who knows, it really makes people talk.

This year's task is to strengthen the river embankment.

In the winter, the river is frozen, how to repair the embankment?

Lin Yutong didn't want to ask the fourth master to go, "Think of a way not to do this errand." ”

"No!" the fourth master shook his head, "All the staff are mobilized, even Bai Xiaomei has to go." However, Bai Xiaomei is like that, she is burning a fire on the side. I told the secretary that I would tell you to go and give him a hand when the time comes. The river embankment is far away, and the food cannot be delivered. Otherwise, you'll have to become an ice lump. You have to do it outside. You go over there and keep the stove. Warm. ”

Well, this should be part of Zheng's mission. No one can escape.

It was not yet dawn, and Lianli gathered. Except for the old people and children, all of them went into battle.

The secretary told the boys to make a few simple stoves, and then assigned the task.

Lin Yutong and Bai Xiaomei, together with the daughter-in-law of the company commander's family, were assigned to a group. Make sure you have a bowl of hot soup to drink when you eat.

Soup? What kind of soup? It's either radish or cabbage, and it's soup.

Bai Xiaomei sat on the side and watched the fire, adding some firewood from time to time.

The company commander's daughter-in-law took the basin, kept looking for some clean snow, put it in the pot, and melted it first. "I'm not good at cooking, big sister, come on. You're in charge. I'll give you a hand, washing vegetables, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, this is my specialty. ”

Before Lin Yutong could think of what to do, there were cheers from there. It turned out that he accidentally pried open the ice and a few fish popped out.

A kid sent it upside down.

This is good, and it can make two large pots of hot and sour fish soup.

Clean up the fish, use a little oil, then put the fish in the pan and fry until browned. Then cut the red pepper, pour in most of the bowl and stir-fry. After a while, the spiciness spreads. Pour water before scorching. This water is snow water that has melted and filtered once. After that, cut the ginger slices into it.

"Sister-in-law, cut sauerkraut. Lin Yutong greeted the company commander's daughter-in-law.

The two of them cut the sauerkraut finely, waited for the soup in the pot to become milky with chili red, and then put the sauerkraut in it.

When eating, three large steamed buns per person and a bowl of hot and sour soup.

"Enjoyable!" the instructor shouted. whispered to the fourth master, "No wonder you kid looks at people so closely." Just this craft, you kid won't lose. ”

The fourth master actually didn't do much work in the morning. He knew too well about the construction of the embankment. The current approach is also a hard resistance by manpower. How much does a person do in a day, and what is the point of repairing the embankment. He's been studying this for a long time, I don't know how long. Although it may not be scientific to get it now. But it's definitely not brute.

Therefore, I said two precautions, and this became the overseer.

Sweating all over the body after eating a meal. The secretary joked to Lin Yutong and said that he had to let Xian go.

The life is heavy, but the food is good. It's all two-sided steamed buns.

After a while, I saw Cheng Hao coming over, and Lin Yutong saw him stuffing a steamed bun to Bai Xiaomei, "I can't eat so much, you take it first." ”

Bai Xiaomei was stunned, and her eyes turned red. How can you be full after eating so much work with such heavy work? It's just a mouthful, for yourself.

Like Cheng Hao, there are many people who save a bite to eat for their wives and children.

Lin Yutong felt sour and soft in his heart.

What is love? In this way, it is love that it is better to lose oneself than to lose one's lover.

Therefore, when cooking in the future, Lin Yutong doesn't care whether it is delicious or not, as long as he eats it, his stomach feels really good. Cabbage and radish, chop it and throw it into the pot. Add several layers of cage drawers on top of the pot. Vegetable dumplings made from sun-dried sweet potato leaves and coarsest cornmeal are steamed in a cage drawer. What do you eat that doesn't take up space in your stomach?

Red flags fluttered around, and people working were in full swing. It makes people's hearts boil with blood.

She remembered her hometown, and 80 percent of the canals and drainage ditches used for irrigation in her hometown were built by people in this era with a shovel and a shovel. It is still in use until more than forty years later, and it will continue to be used. There must be many more examples of this across the country. With their youth and blood, they have forged the same glory in this land. for the benefit of future generations.

So, we should pay tribute to this generation!

This busyness did not come to an end until it entered the wax moon.

Even if he only makes soup twice a day, Lin Yutong feels that his arms are not his own.

Finally, I can lie down and not have to work. I may be so tired this year that I don't think much of going home.

The young people in the company began to go to the county seat to take a bath and go shopping.

Lin Yutong is also busy. Since you're going to get married, let's make a new dress for the two of you.

The materials in the space can't be taken out and used, "We also have to go to the county seat to see what the materials are?"

Getting married is a big deal. Although the old husband and wife are old, the fourth master doesn't want to be sloppy at all at the wedding. New clothes are a must.

Squeezed into the carriage of Lian Li, all the way to the county seat.

The department store is still the same, but at this time, there are more people. Most of them use the tickets in their hands to exchange for daily necessities.

There are a few kinds of fabrics, and there is a kind of corduroy, which is suitable for coats in winter. Lin Yutong chose a black shirt for the fourth master, and asked for a few feet more, wanting to make a shorter windbreaker. The camel-colored pants look young and calm compared to the matching.

And when it comes to himself, he makes a difficulty. There is no pure red cloth, only black and red plaid cloth, "I can only choose it." "I asked for a few feet more black than I could make myself a pair of pants.

That's it.

When I came back, it seemed that I and the fourth master had grown a little taller.

"What? The fourth master looked at Lin Yutong holding a ruler and asked.

Lin Yutong calculated, "It's enough, it's barely enough to use other cloth in the trouser pocket." ”

"We don't lack this, you are all tight when you come back. The fourth master was a little funny when he saw her being meticulous and calculating.

"It's been a long time, and I've gotten used to it. If you slip out a little more, you won't need anything of the scrap. I'm also distressed. Lin Yutong folded the fabric and said.

While they were talking, they heard a knock at the door outside.

The fourth master went to open the door, and saw that a few boys came in with a smile scratching their heads. Everyone has clothes in their hands. It still looks new.

"Who are you?" Lin Yutong wondered. If it was fabric, she would have thought that she was looking for herself to make clothes. But these are all new clothes, they shouldn't have been worn before, so why are you looking for yourself.

One of them said with a smile, "They all said that Sister Yutong's craftsmanship is good, so we just came." ”

But it's a new dress. Lin Yutong picked it up and looked at it, "What's the matter? It's not suitable? Where do you want to change it? You go to that house and change it, I will see what to change?"

"No!" said the other, pulling out some pairs of old trousers from his back, "just sewing a few pieces of old cloth into the new clothes." ”

Patching new clothes?

What kind of road is this? Sorry, we're old and I don't understand.

So, Lin Yutong asked for a long time before he figured it out. It turns out that one of the most popular clothes in big cities today is this plain dress with patches.

Patch the shoulders, elbows, buttocks, knees of the new clothes with cloth of a similar color but obviously old. Wear it like this for a while. Wait for the new clothes to wear out, and this patch will not be obvious. And what to do? They just have to remove the patch again. Well, the location of the original patch is brand new, and the rest of the patch is still old. There is still a color difference. It still looks like it's a patch. It's the same as patching old clothes with new cloth. One garment can have two effects.

Lin Yutong was stunned when he heard this. She remembered the nostalgic jeans that filled the streets in later generations. Isn't that deliberately old-fashioned?

Is this any different from the current patch?

Who said people in the seventies didn't love beauty?

People also have their own popular fashions, and they are not outdated at all.

Lin Yutong left these clothes, indicating that he understood what they meant.

When the people left, Lin Yutong asked the fourth master, "Do you want to be fashionable?"

"Forget it. The fourth master remembered the patch on that body, and shook his head decisively, "I'm old, I can't stand this." ”
