Reborn as a widow in the 70s

Early the next morning, Lu Aiguo brought back three or four young people who had been close to him since childhood.

Since they were both from the same village, Song Xiuxiu also knew them.

After a few simple greetings, everyone began to work.

Song Xiuxiu, on the other hand, took Ya Ya and started to work on lunch.

Song Xiuxiu first washed the big bones she bought yesterday and put them into the pot to cook.

There were big bones stewed in the pot, so Song Xiuxiu carried a basket and took Ya Ya to a neighbor's house to exchange for some vegetables and eggs.

Since the village has not allocated private land to Song Xiuxiu, she has to trade with others if she wants to eat vegetables.

Fortunately, the ladies nearby were very enthusiastic and sympathized with her previous experience.

They provided green vegetables to Song Xiuxiu and her mother-in-law in half-given and half-exchange terms. They didn't eat much anyway, so they just plucked some from the private plot.

Song Xiuxiu is not the kind of person who takes advantage of small things. Whether it is vegetables or eggs, she will not let the ladies suffer.

Therefore, during the period after the family separation, Song Xiuxiu's reputation in the village rose instead of falling, with everyone praising her for her ability to behave and understand the ways of the world.

Not long after, the aroma of meat wafted out of the pot, making the greedy young people drool.

Ergouzi: "Brother, you and your sister-in-law are too polite. In fact, you don't have much work to do. You even stew meat for our brothers!"

"It's embarrassing for us!"

After saying that, he burst into laughter!

Boss Sun on the side joked: "If you are embarrassed, don't eat it. We are embarrassed. We will help you eat your share later!"

Upon hearing this, Ergouzi immediately became anxious: "You only want good things when you dream of marrying a wife!"

"I haven't seen any meat since the Chinese New Year for half a year now. I'm going to eat more soon so that my five-viscera temple can celebrate the Chinese New Year!"

"Okay, you can eat as much as you want to keep your food full! But let's talk ugly up front and don't be lazy at work!" Lu Aiguo said.

Ergouzi: "Brother, look at what you said, don't talk about taking care of the food, even if you don't care about the food, our brothers will still be hungry and work for you! Who makes you our eldest brother!"

Hearing this, Lu Aiguo smiled and said: "Now I know that your family is so poor, why can you still marry a wife?"

"You're just a broken teapot with no handle, all you have left is your mouth!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone laughed.

Ergouzi was not embarrassed, but joked: "I didn't go to the army, otherwise with my mouth, I would be doing better than you, big brother!"

After saying that, everyone laughed again!

In this era, food does not pay much attention to color, flavor, but mainly to large portions and full filling.

In order to keep the potbellied men full, Song Xiuxiu put a lot of potatoes, eggplants and beans in the bone soup.

A circle of chopped green onion corn tortillas was placed around the pot.

After the vegetables and pancakes were cooked, a large pot of mung bean soup was cooked to relieve the heat and thirst of everyone.

Several young people are big eaters, and they usually don't dare to eat enough at home, but today's meal was really full.

After eating, Lu Aiguo originally wanted to ask everyone to take a rest before working. After all, it was too hot at noon in June.

But no one wanted to rest, they just wanted to finish the work as soon as possible.

After all, no one would be embarrassed to eat such good food for two days in a row.

What was originally two days of work was completed in one day, even though it was done very late.

Everyone was a little embarrassed to eat dinner here, but Song Xiuxiu had already made it, so they couldn't refuse anymore.

For dinner, Song Xiuxiu made cornmeal pimple soup, with some potatoes in it as usual.

The soup is made from fatty meat and tastes delicious!

Ergouzi said while eating: "Brother, you think I'm going to eat two meals of meat from your house after doing so little work. How embarrassing!"

"Why don't you guys help you do something else?"

"I can't tear down your house and build two more!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Lu Aiguo say: "Get out of the way and peel it off for me as soon as it is repaired. It seems that you are really full today and can hold on, right?"

Ergouzi touched his head and said naively: "Isn't it a bit embarrassing to eat your meat for two meals?"

Lu Aiguo: "If you feel embarrassed, take more care of your sister-in-law and children when I am not at home, and stop being bullied!"

After hearing this, Ergouzi readily agreed.

It turned out that the main reason why Ergouzi and the others did not take good care of Song Xiuxiu and Yaya was because it was a family matter of the Lu family, and Song Xiuxiu was a widow at the time, and she was afraid of being gossiped about.

What's more, Song Xiuxiu never complained, so it was naturally difficult for outsiders to interfere in other people's family affairs.

But it's different now. Song Xiuxiu has separated and is living alone, and Lu Aiguo is back. With Lu Aiguo's words, of course everyone present will take care of his sister-in-law and niece.

Song Xiuxiu was very busy in the next two days.

After busy cutting clothes and arranging the yarn, Song Xiuxiu decided to make two separate clothes for herself and Yaya first, and then slowly knit the yarn.

Song Xiuxiu was very agile and quickly made two sets of clothes for herself and Yaya.

Because it was something she would wear on a daily basis, Song Xiuxiu didn't make anything too complicated, just a simple short-sleeved top and trousers.

However, Song Xiuxiu made herself a light blue skirt imitating Yaya's.

They are both made of light blue fabric. Although there are no white polka dots on it, they all have doll collars and bows. When put together with Ya Ya's piece, it looks like a parent-child outfit from later generations.

Lu Aiguo liked it very much after seeing it.

"When we go out in two days, you two will wear these clothes. They will look beautiful."

The man was sitting on the kang, holding wool with both hands, and said.

Next to her, Ya Ya was jumping back and forth on the quilt.

Song Xiuxiu asked in surprise while wrapping the wool around her: "Why do you have to go out again in two days?"

"Where are you going!"

Lu Aiguo paused and said with a serious face: "Xiuxiu, I have something to discuss with you, but I just don't know how to say it!"

"What's going on?" Song Xiuxiu asked curiously.

Lu Aiguo: "I want to adopt a child!"

"Adopt a child? Why!"

Song Xiuxiu asked with a slight frown and confusion.

Lu Aiguo said with a serious face: "That is the child of my comrade in arms. He went on a mission with me four years ago, but he failed to come back!"

"He has a son who should be six years old this year. I want to adopt him!"
