Chapter Ninety-Four: The Present Situation
The two mothers and daughters chatted for a while, discussing how to make cargo pants and comparing them. Until she woke up safely, after Zhou Jiao fed her son, she looked at her watch and looked at her worriedly.
"Mom, are you hungry, didn't you buy snacks? You eat some first. Do you want to eat with me later? There are a bunch of people in the hall, and you are not used to it, so I will tell my mother-in-law later. ”
Lin Lishan shook her head, "In a few days, that's all." Depending on how your mother-in-law arranges, I guess she will let me eat with you in the room, if you say it, it's not good to have a misunderstanding. ”
After speaking, it didn't take long for Zhang's mother to bring her eldest daughter-in-law Huang Cuilan in with food, and when she saw Lin Lishan, she was quite embarrassed and said, "Big sister, I don't want to be polite to you, I just let you accompany Jiaojiao to eat in the house." You look at her, her meal is too small, let her eat more.
Tomorrow we will start building the house, and I will be busy preparing the meal, and the people from the village who have come to help will have a meal at our house. People come and go, and you can eat here cleanly. Otherwise, someone will pull you to say a few words, and you won't be able to eat. It just so happens that I don't have time to take care of Jiaojiao, and I can rest assured that you accompany her. ”
Lin Lishan nodded when she heard this, and took the meal, "Eldest sister, this is the best, our two mothers and daughters just happened to eat and chat together." I'll go to the kitchen tomorrow to help, and you can call me if there's anything. ”
Mother Zhou saw Lin Lishan take the bowl, quickly put the kang table on the kang, took the basket carried by Huang Cuilan, took out the three dishes inside, and put soup and two large bowls of rice on the table.
"No, the work in the kitchen, tomorrow the three of us and my two concubines, there are enough people. If I can't get busy, I'll call you and not be polite to you. Jiaojiao, these days, you let your mother take care of you first, I'm afraid I'm too busy to get dizzy. ”
Zhou Jiao nodded, and said apologetically to Huang Cuilan: "Sister-in-law, you have worked hard." Build a yard for us to live in, Xiao Wu and I didn't do anything, and you and your eldest brother are busy. I'm embarrassed to think about it. ”
"I'm sorry, you two usually help us. It's all a family, don't pay attention to those, take care of your body with peace of mind, raise it well, and rest assured that your children and grandmothers will go back. ”
Lin Lishan looked at the food, "Eldest sister, if you are my own family, don't prepare so much next time." There are too many dishes, and our mother and daughter can't eat so much, it's quite a waste. In the future, I will follow your meal, and I don't need to cook it separately. As for the delicate confinement meal, you must prepare three separate burns for the province. ”
Mother Zhang smiled: "Just separate the delicate meals, you are the same as us, and you have not prepared anything else." If I'm busy tomorrow, I'll burn less, and you can eat it. After eating, I will fight by myself, I will not be polite to you. ”
As he spoke, he shook his hand and pulled the old family away.
Zhou Jiao looked at the food and knew that it was specially made for her mother. didn't say anything, if she let her mother eat that nest, she would cry with her. She definitely didn't want to see those nests.
Lin Lishan was eating, nagging her to eat more, and she had to work hard to eat if she couldn't eat.
"Jiaojiao, what does your mother-in-law usually eat at home? It's meat again, and it's chicken. They certainly don't have that, and they guess the meat is in these two bowls. ”
Zhou Jiao drank the soup, hurriedly put it down, stretched out her head against the window, listened to the movement outside, moved to the side, approached her mother, and whispered: "Hehe, Mom, just look at my face." The conditions of the surrounding villages are good. Now they are all the fine grains that have been allocated, and they go to the city to exchange them for coarse grains. It is to change to coarse grains, most people eat twice a day, and one of them is vegetable porridge.
Their family eats three meals a day, and they all have a family background in the surrounding villages. In the morning, Wowotou adds corn porridge, at noon or Wowotou with vegetable porridge, and at night sweet potato rice adds a few dishes, there is no oil flower in their dishes, and it is Wowotou 365 days a year.
In the nest, the coarse grain powder, water and wild vegetables are kneaded into a ball, and this is it, many people can eat the Zhang family with red eyes.
Xiao Wu said that his family's wowotou can change tricks a year, but wowotou is still wowotou. That nest is eating so hard that you have to stretch your neck to swallow it, or you'll get stuck.
Hehe, you said that everyone eats like this, what do you do? Although I don't eat much in Zhou's house, I don't have this nest. They all follow their grandmothers to eat wild vegetable porridge and sweet potato rice, all of which are soft. Most of the time, Xiao Wu eats in the school cafeteria, and he also takes me to the restaurant from time to time to eat.
When I got married, I found out that there were still nests in this world that were stuck in my throat. I don't have rations, I can't eat and I'm embarrassed to say, so I'll eat less, anyway, Xiao Wu and my mother-in-law will secretly open a small stove for me. My mother-in-law is very good, secretly boiled two eggs and hid them in our house, sometimes when the family went to work, secretly hid the nest head and put it in our house, so their family always said that I was a cat's appetite. ”
Zhou Jiao took a bite of food, and then said: "Xiao Wu and I really couldn't stand it, so we bought rice." Let her mother boil red dates and white rice porridge, give me a pregnant body to drink, and let the whole family drink together. I hope I don't stop the corn dregs nest every day, get stuck, drink corn dregs porridge, and then it's really stuck.
They couldn't say it explicitly, because they ate like that, and they all ate with relish, and they were all very happy. It's hard for both of us to talk about it. I'm glad you came and brought back the rice and flour, or I'd have died.
At five o'clock in the morning on the second day after Xiao Wu was born safely, he went to the county seat and found someone to buy two pig's trotters and two black chickens, and asked her mother to stew them for me to drink. As a result, my mother-in-law said that if you keep it and eat it slowly, one pig's trotter can be eaten for a day. The black chicken, Xiao Wu asked her to burn one for the children at home, and a black chicken was also stewed. But she disagreed, saying what children eat. It's all eaten during confinement, and the family can eat enough, so there is no need to burn it.
I don't dare to buy it if I have money, it costs too much to buy more, and if I buy less, there is nowhere to burn. I'm glad you're here, or I wouldn't have lived. We were all ready to buy a stove, stew game every day, and secretly sprinkle rice on a small stove.
Xiao Wu said that he was crying, and he didn't dare to say it. Because the family has always eaten like this, even Kiko and they eat like this. He was not at home for school, so he went to the canteen with his rations to eat. If he really said it, he would have no conscience, and his father and mother would be sad. ”
Lin Lishan was happy, eating and listening to her.
Zhou Jiao continued, "Why is Xiao Wu the best with the master of the county hotel?" It is to catch the pheasant and hare in the past, let him burn it, and bring some to me secretly when it is burned. When you don't have a meat ticket, you can only order it in the restaurant, and if you are familiar with it, you will do more.
Didn't you say I'm skinny now? That's when you didn't see me being thinner. In winter, the heavy snow wind blew, and they didn't dare to go out. Really, the wind was blowing me and I didn't have to walk, I kept pushing. Hehe, so I never go out in the winter when it's not important.
Before I got married, I didn't have any money. Everyone calls me a golden doll, but I really don't have any money. I relied on Xiao Wu to take me to eat some supplements. Married, I have money in my hands, but the damn bills are tossed out again, there are no food stamps, no meat stamps, it's useless to have money, especially if you don't have food stamps, you can't go to the hotel. But I finally ate the game, and it grew fruity.
You have brought so many things with you this time, and the food is the most valuable. There is no money. Now you don't go to the countryside, and you don't know that there is a shortage of food. The same is true in the county, the supply book will make you eat eighty percent full, or plan the whole family to have white porridge in the morning and eight minutes full in the evening. Where did you buy this food? Isn't there a shortage of food in the capital? ”
Lin Lishan drank the soup, sighed when she heard it, and shook her head, "There is also a shortage of food, but we will not be short, how can the soldiers do if they don't have food." I knew to bring more of them. ”
Zhou Jiao smiled, "Don't bring food next time." Now we have a way to buy food. It's almost the Chinese New Year, the big and small markets will open, and those who have fine grains in the countryside will also sell them, so we will buy them secretly, buy more, and save them to eat slowly. More expensive than you are.
Mom, you really don't see those poor families, how poor they are? For example, winter is coming, and one-third of the people in this Zhangjia village do not have padded jackets, so what should I do? Girls wear jackets and shiver to do housework, and men take turns to wear padded jackets to go out. There are also many people's homes that still use straw as quilts, which is why the most people die in winter, and they are so poor that it makes people feel sad. So, we are doing well now, and we should be happy and happy. ”
Lin Lishan nodded, "You should feel happy." I looked everywhere, and some places were drinking porridge, and they could only eat dry meals on Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
"Mom, go get some food. I'm going to be very good at eating this bowl. ”
Lin Lishan shook her head, "I can't eat it, it's usually so much." I'll clean it up when you're done. So do you have enough for your grandfather? None of them went down to work. ”
Zhou Jiao glanced at her mother angrily, "You forgot that grandparents have monthly salaries and subsidies, and they have to eat themselves." Even if you raise a bunch of people in a long house, you can eat enough. In the past, there were no food stamps, so you could buy them with money. When there were food stamps, wild vegetables were also added, and the food was comparable to that of the people in the county.
However, they have bad rules, eating and robbing as if they are eating, rushing to eat, and talking loudly and drooling all over the sky, talking about them is really unappetizing. When I go back to Zhou's house, I just don't have anything to eat. When I left, I opened a small stove, and everyone ate that tall and strong, that Huang Zhaodi, she was as fat as two of you, and I didn't believe that he didn't eat when I saw it. ”
"Hehe, I'm so fat, I wasn't fat before, I'm pretty good-looking. It's really time to get old. I'll pack it up and send it over. You lean first, don't lie down. As he spoke, he packed it up and put it in the basket and put it out.
After a while, Lin Lishan came in, Zhou Jiao stared at her mother, and saw that no one followed behind her, squeezing her eyes and mouthing outward. Lin Lishan glanced at her, looked at her grimacing, covered her mouth and smiled.
"It's only your sister-in-law in the kitchen, and they're all eating, and I didn't enter the hall. There was a sweet potato smell in the kitchen, it should be sweet potato rice in the evening, all the white rice was given to us, and they ate sweet potato rice. Their children's tutors are very good, and they don't make trouble. ”
Zhou Jiao nodded, "Their children are very well educated, and they never move things when they come to my house." Give them candy, and they know that they have to take it back to their younger brothers and sisters to eat, and the little ones know to take it back to their brother when they see the candy. ”
Lin Lishan went to the kitchen to get hot water, brought it to the room, the two washed up, turned on the radio, and lay down on the kang to chat.
