Seventy-year-old book: The villain Zaizai’s best mother

Early the next morning, Third Sister Gu got up quietly. She asked Xia Mingshuang to sleep a little longer while she made breakfast.

Third Sister Gu has long since discovered that Xia Mingshuang is not only different from before, she is also different from others.

Nowadays, every family is short of food, and the family has to plan carefully to share the rations. If you don’t have enough, you can’t help others, so you don’t want to let relatives come to live at home, let alone let them touch your own noodle vat.

Xia Mingshuang never cared about this. Not only did he not feel sorry for Sanjie Gu, he also asked her to eat more and eat well.

Others say that Gu Yunshan is the one who can do it. He makes a lot of money, and Xia Mingshuang can still buy food rations without going to the fields.

But Third Sister Gu thinks Xia Mingshuang is also capable. These days, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food. Everyone has a limit. People in the city can get about thirty kilograms a month. In the countryside, in the past few years, people said, "Is three hundred and sixty pounds enough?" "One person has a ration of 360 kilograms a year, but there is less fine grains and more coarse grains, especially sweet potatoes. How many kilograms are equivalent to one kilogram of grain, so the rations in the countryside can now reach almost 440 kilograms.

It sounds like a lot, but when you eat it, you will know that you are not full at all, because there is almost no oil and water, and there are very few vegetables. If you eat only staple food, a big man will fill his teeth with one pound a day, and he will not be full even if he eats two pounds. Just say that sweet potatoes, why can't you eat a few in one meal? That's several kilograms.

If Xia Mingshuang had not been able to join the supply and marketing cooperative, these children would probably still be as sallow and skinny as before, waiting for their eldest aunts and three aunts to support them.

Now Xia Mingshuang is not only good to her children, but also treats her third aunt like a family member. Third sister Gu feels indescribably warm and happy in her heart.

She found that she had been looking forward to Xia Mingshuang asking her to come. Although she did not dare to talk about divorce, she actually envied such a life.

Although the Zhan family was her husband's family,... that family gave her the feeling that she was an outsider and not a family after all.

Everyone got up for dinner in the morning and heard that the fourth aunt had given birth to a little sister. The mother and daughter were safe, and the children were also happy.

Xiao Zaizai also took out two pieces of candy and two biscuits baked by Xia Mingshuang from his tin box, generously wrapped them in a handkerchief, and asked Xia Mingshuang to give them to his fourth aunt and little sister in a sweet voice.

Xia Mingshuang did not refuse and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll hand it over for you."

Xiao Zaizai took out two more pieces and gave them to Third Aunt, "Third Aunt, thank you for coming to accompany me."

He now goes to school in the morning and to Zhao Juying's place in the afternoon. When his third aunt comes, he can stay at home.

Third Sister Gu burst out laughing. After laughing, she realized why she was so relaxed when she came to Xia Mingshuang's house? At home, her heart felt as heavy as a big stone all day long. As long as she didn't frown, how could she laugh?

Looking at the children and Xia Mingshuang with a gentle face, she felt that this place was like a different world from other people's homes.

Breakfast is millet and sweet potato porridge, and Sanjie Gu has already cooled it for Xia Mingshuang.

Xia Mingshuang woke up a little late and ate a little fast for fear of being late. "Third sister, just cook what you like for lunch. There is lard in the oil can."

The third sister agreed.

Before leaving, Xia Mingshuang thought again, "My eldest brother may come to deliver fruits or something. Third sister, you know how to make jam. I bought a new casserole."

The previous big casserole burned out and she didn't have time to ask the craftsman to clean it. It was easier to buy, so she bought two more.

She rode to her work unit first to order some tea. Wang Jinling had already made her chrysanthemum tea and put in two red dates.

Now Wang Jinling is making chicken cakes and ordinary biscuits. Practice makes perfect. Xia Mingshuang no longer needs to keep an eye on her to make them well.

If the supply of flour and other materials were not sufficient, Wang Jinling would have wanted to build another oven so that she could bake two or three ovens at the same time.

Xia Mingshuang also told her not to worry and to bite off more than she could chew.

She told Wang Jinling and Fat Aunt that she wanted to go see her younger siblings who were giving birth first.

The fat aunt immediately handed her a small bag of millet and a paper bag of brown sugar, about two taels.

Xia Mingshuang didn't have food stamps or sugar stamps, but she was not short of money, so she gave a few cents to her fat aunt.

The fat aunt refused to take it, so Xia Mingshuang forced it into her pocket.

The thing itself was squeezed out by the fat aunt. It doesn't matter if she eats and drinks with her. If you want to give it to others, it's better to give it money.

The fat aunt picked it up and said angrily: "Mingshuang, you are just being polite to me, who of us will follow who?"

She and Wang Jinling are now competing to please Xia Mingshuang, both wanting to show that they have a better and closer relationship with Xia Mingshuang.

Xia Mingshuang did not expect such a situation. She originally thought that she and Wang Jinling were in a competitive relationship, and that the fat aunt would be wary of her. But now they are competing with each other to please her. In Li Yaoyao's words, these two are in front of Xia Mingshuang. Competing for favor is such a shame!

However, the fat aunt was not polite and said that Li Yaoyao and Zhang Danping were the same, but she just refused to admit it.

Xia Mingshuang thought it was funny, so she bought a bag of rough toilet paper from the store in front of her and then rode to the health center.

Gu Liangshan had already made fried flour and gave Zhao Peihong a big bowl of it. He made a big bowl of water with the rest and drank it himself. He left the fried noodles and ate them reluctantly, planning to take them back and give Zhao Peihong another bite. pause.

Zhao Peihong wore a cotton hat on her head. Although she could not hide her fatigue, she looked much better. When she saw Xia Mingshuang coming over, her eyes lit up.

After what happened last night, she felt a little closer to Xia Mingshuang.

Although she admired the changed Xia Mingshuang before, she never had any friendship with him. After all, she was aloof at heart, and some things had happened to her and she was afraid that people would look at her strangely, so she treated everyone indifferently and with caution.

Xia Mingshuang looked at Zhao Peihong, who looked much better than last night, and breathed a sigh of relief. Although she and Zhao Peihong didn't have much affection, they were both women and didn't want to see anything happen to her because of childbirth.

She helped Gu Liangshan place Zhao Peihong on the donkey cart, and wrapped the little girl with a warm quilt and placed it next to Zhao Peihong, squeezing them tightly to avoid being blown by the cold wind.

The toilet paper was also placed on the donkey cart.

Zhao Peihong was very grateful. Toilet paper is a rare thing these days. People in the city use slightly better pink toilet paper, while in the countryside they basically use yellow toilet paper made of straw.

Most people are reluctant to buy this kind of toilet paper, so they just use straw or sticks to wipe their buttocks.

As for female sanitary products, urbanites use sanitary napkins plus straw paper and toilet paper. Most rural people are reluctant to use toilet paper and use cloth bags to carry plant ash.

She had just given birth and had lochia. In order to prevent her clothes and quilt from getting wet, she had to use more plant ash.

It’s so much more convenient now that there’s so much toilet paper.

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Because she was tired from giving birth, the string that Zhao Peihong was originally twisting became much more relaxed.

Xia Mingshuang: "It's nothing. Go back and have a good confinement period."

Xia Mingshuang returned to the supply and marketing cooperative. Director Gao was organizing a meeting to announce good news: this year Xia Mingshuang will participate in the provincial year-end celebration as the county red flag bearer!

Xia Mingshuang was shocked. How could it be her turn to show her face?
