Chapter 3 1962, Hello!
Li Weidong's grandmother is just over 70 this year, her body is quite tough, her gray hair is coiled behind her head, and she is covered with a small net, and her clothes are the kind of big placket with pimple buttons.
Grandma was born in a large family in her early years, was literate, and had a grace on her body.
Li Weidong received the memory of the original owner, and the deepest impression was the good grandson.
Although he changed his soul, the kindness from his bones made Li Weidong accept this strong family affection without any burden.
"Milk, I'll help you."
Li Weidong stepped forward quickly and took the dustpan from his grandmother's hand.
Inside are some yellowish oval seeds.
Li Weidong is no stranger to pumpkin seeds, and he has never eaten less in his two lives.
Nowadays, rural areas usually plant some at home, which can not only be fried as vegetables, but also to fill the stomach.
Especially with stick noodles, the nest head made of sweet potato noodles is rough and hard, and if you add pumpkin, it will have a sweet taste, which is a lot more delicious.
And unlike the round pumpkin in the south, there are mostly long old pumpkins in the north, also called hanging melons, which are less than a dozen catties.
"Pumpkin seeds, I'll try them first."
Li Weidong directly grabbed a handful and put it in his pocket.
"It's not delicious now, when it's dried, the milk will fry and eat for you."
Grandma looked at Li Weidong with a smile, but she didn't stop his movements, her face was full of doting.
"It's okay, I'll just try it."
Li Weidong said, and put the dustpan into the sun.
"Grandma Li, at home."
Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
Li Weidong turned his head, and his eyes lit up.
After watching the TV plot, he recognized the identity of the other party at a glance.
Widow Qin.
At this moment, she was wearing a blue overalls, standing in the sun, and her whole person seemed to be glowing.
Born in 1933, she is now 29 years old, which is the most attractive age for a woman.
Even if Li Weidong has always been very picky, he can score 90 points.
Especially her eyes, watery.
I don't know how to maintain her plump figure in this era when everyone can't get enough to eat.
"You are?"
Grandma Li looked at Qin Huairu quietly.
"Grandma Li, I am the daughter-in-law of the Jia family in the middle court, my name is Qin Huairu, my mother-in-law has had a little cold in the past two days, and I want to borrow your medicine pot for use."
Qin Huairu explained the intention.
Although Grandma Li and Li Weidong have just arrived, there is a bit of turmoil in this courtyard, and everyone knows it immediately.
Especially Li's father is also a cadre, although he never interferes in the affairs of the yard, but who can live here is not a human spirit?
"Okay, let's have a drink of water in the house first."
Grandma Li responded directly.
For the older generation, it is a good thing that someone comes to borrow a medicine pot.
Because there is a saying that borrowing a medicine pot will also take away the illness at home.
And the medicine pot can only be borrowed, not returned.
Li Weibin's mother is not in good health and often drinks traditional Chinese medicine, so she has a medicine pot at home.
There are generally people in the hospital who are sick and need to borrow a medicine pot to decoction, and they will choose the Li family.
"Don't bother, I'll just stand here for a while." Qin Huairu refused again and again.
After Grandma Li turned around and entered the house, her eyes fell on Li Weidong, who was staring directly at her.
"You're the second eldest of the Li family, right? I saw you when you came last year. ”
Qin Huairu said generously, the one who is close to the distance and the near is called just right.
On the contrary, Li Weidong, who has lived for more than 30 years in his previous life, is far less calm than the other party.
"Hello, my name is Li Weidong."
After speaking, Li Weidong ignored Qin Huairu's stunned face and left directly.
Faintly, he seemed to smell a milky smell, a little up.
"I don't know if her husband is dead."
Li Weidong silently thought in his heart, although he had watched the original plot, the TV series started 65 years, that is, three years later.
What is the situation in her family at the moment, but it is not clear.
In the past few days, he has been recuperating at home, and he has just been reborn, and he is at a loss for the moment, so he really can't mention his surname.
But now, with a game farm, it's a bit of a drift unconsciously.
It is said that Widow Qin sucks blood, but in fact, she can suck more than just blood.
"Li Weidong?"
Qin Huairu wanted to stop the other party, but he opened his mouth and still didn't speak.
Moreover, she always felt that the other party was strange.
But......
Thinking of the situation of the Li family, she couldn't help but feel a move in her heart.
Leaving the courtyard, the hustle and bustle outside made Li Weidong a little trance.
Although everyone was poor in this era, and they did not have enough food and clothing, that spirit was far from being comparable to later generations.
There are no bowed heads here, and there are no masks on their faces, full of indifference.
Walking on the road, even if no one knows each other, the passing crowd still nods to each other from time to time and shares their smiles without hesitation.
At the beginning, someone laughed at himself, Li Weidong was still a little uncomfortable, pulling the corners of his mouth, squeezing out a stiff smile.
But slowly, he began to adapt.
From a bystander, gradually blended in.
At this point, he felt that he had truly come to life, truly integrated into this era, and became a part of this world.
It was a heartfelt satisfaction and steadfastness.
"In 1962, you were good! My name is...... Li Weidong. ”
On the street, Li Weidong muttered in his heart.
After walking around, and storing 0.1 energy, Li Weidong reluctantly returned home.
I have no money in my pocket, and I don't have a ticket, so I can't do it even if I want to be chic.
Grandma is under the eaves, sitting on a bench with the soles of her shoes.
Stepmother Zhang Xiuzhen prepared lunch with the help of sister-in-law Yang Fangfang.
Li Weibin and Li Xueru brought food at noon and ate at school.
The eldest brother Li Weimin, who is not in tune, gets up early and is greedy for darkness.
"Milk, aunt, sister-in-law."
Li Weidong said hello and returned to the house.
After drinking only two bowls of corn paste in the morning and going out for another hour, Li Weidong was already hungry with his chest on his back, but he didn't say anything.
A big laborer, who doesn't produce, doesn't contribute to the family, how can he have a beep.
As for someone, he has long not known what the skin is.
Lying on the bed, Li Weidong's heart moved, and he appeared in the game farm.
Also appeared in the morning was the handful of pumpkin seeds that were loaded in the morning.
Originally, he wanted to plant sweet potatoes first.
But after looking around at home, I didn't find fresh sweet potatoes, so I had to replace them with pumpkins first.
Anyway, in his opinion, whether it is a pumpkin or a sweet potato, there is actually no difference, and it will not arouse suspicion when taken out in this season.
The growth cycle of pumpkins is generally around four months.
Li Weidong is also not sure how long it will take to switch to the game farm, but since the time ratio between the two is one to one, there is also night and day, so the difference will not be too big.
He only hoped that the pumpkin would not take too much energy to ripen.
After all, the taste of starvation is really uncomfortable.
