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

Xia Mingshuang didn't care whether their brothers were fighting or breaking up. She wanted to focus on celebrating her little Zaizai's birthday.

Xiao Zaizai is actually five years old, but this is his third birthday.

In this era, people generally celebrate their birthdays. After all, materials are not abundant and there are many children, so there is nothing special about them. However, every child's first and third birthdays are still very important. The family will celebrate them. Other children can only boil eggs and eat them. Xia Mingshuang naturally wants to celebrate them if he has the conditions.

Xia Mingshuang loves to make cream and other things when she has an egg beater. Now that Fang Rong has not gotten a large bucket of milk for her to make butter and condensed milk, she continues to make egg white cream and add more sugar. Scientifically speaking, it is unhealthy, but these days everyone I can’t eat much sugar, so it’s okay to eat more.

Gu Yunshan didn't go anywhere. He stayed at home with his wife and children, helping Xia Mingshuang whip egg whites and cream, and answering the children's [-] whys.

Er Zhuang kept chattering and asked, and Miao Miao gradually became more active and asked. Xiao Zaizai was not as shy and timid as he was when he was a child, but he dared to ask his father. Although Da Zhuang talked less, he also talked a lot more than usual. Isn't that more? A cousin, Gu Nianjun?

Gu Nianjun has no father. On the outside, he looks as arrogant as anything, but on the inside, he is extremely envious of the older man.

He looked after Gu Yunshan and did not dislike him, and also stayed with him to enjoy the feeling of being close to his father.

Third Sister Gu and Xia Mingshuang discussed what to do for the afternoon meal.

There are frozen meat, frozen fish, bacon, and meat brought back by Gu Yunshan at home, as well as kelp, wakame, dried shrimps, dried shrimps, scallops and other seafood, so there is no shortage of food.

Zhao Juying brought a small basket of spinach, which she had covered with chaff in the yard.

The temperature in the local area is low in winter, all the leaves fall off, and the grass withers. Naturally, there are no vegetables that can survive the winter in the open field. However, if leeks and spinach are covered with thick straw and chaff, they will be fresh and tender to eat when they turn green during the New Year.

Zhao Juying had seen Xia Mingshuang sprout mung bean sprouts, yellow bean sprouts, and garlic sprouts before, so she followed suit. Xia Mingshuang's garlic sprouts were turned green by Er Zhuang and turned into dwarf garlic sprouts, but Zhao Juying's became short garlic sprouts.

She was reluctant to eat garlic sprouts, so Xia Mingshuang later took them to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for money.

Once you plant garlic, you can cut it into yellow color two or three times. Zhao Juying likes it quite a lot.

Xia Mingshuang picked up the spinach and said, "Auntie, I'll give you the money."

Zhao Juying: "Don't do that to me. Give me the money from the supply and marketing cooperative. This is what I will give Yunshan to eat."

Although she is stingy, she also has a human touch. As long as she recognizes someone, she will be kind to them with all her heart.

Xia Mingshuang: "You can bring Rainbow over for dinner later."

Zhao Juying: "No, there are so many of you, it's hard to get through, so don't bother."

Her adopted daughter didn't know what happened now. She became more and more disobedient and her words became harsh and mean. Zhao Juying was also very worried. She knew that Mrs. Gu was the one who instigated it, but it was Caihong herself who came to listen to others' instigation. Zhao Juying couldn't even find Mrs. Gu to rip her off.

Xia Mingshuang discussed with Gu Yunshan and asked him to call Accountant Liu, Captain Gu, Gu Heping, and other reputable elders of the family to come over for dinner, which would be considered a dinner at his home.

Gu Yunshan: "No, I've already gone to visit you. Just invite you again during the Chinese New Year."

These days, everyone's food rations are not plentiful, and unless it's a wedding or funeral, they usually don't treat guests.

It's the Laba Festival now, and there aren't many days left for the New Year. He has to go home this year, so it's convenient to treat him.

Since he said this, Xia Mingshuang didn't force him. Anyway, she had already asked the third sister for a divorce before.

For children, birthday cakes are more attractive than big fish and meat. After all, Xia Mingshuang usually buys meat and fish. Now that there is no shortage of oil and water in the family, the children are not so greedy. But birthday cakes are so rare. Last time, Da Zhuang Miaomiao had them for their birthday, and they were so sweet in their souls that they still wanted to eat them when they mentioned them.

Erzhuang kept wandering around Xia Mingshuang, "Mom, can you have cake early?"

Xia Mingshuang: "Then you can't eat first."

Erzhuang: "Eating cake can also save food, right?"

Xia Mingshuang: "Cake is a snack."

Erzhuang saw that it was useless to pester Xia Mingshuang, so he went to encourage Xiao Zaizai, "Brother, you and your mother said that we don't want to eat, and we should eat cake first."

The little Zaizai raised his snow-white face, "Why?"

Erzhuang: "Think about it, if we eat cake after dinner, will there be room in our stomach? If we eat cake first without eating, then we will have a full stomach of cake? Which one is better, cake or rice?"

Xiao Zai Zai: "Cake!"

Erzhuang: "Right!"

The little Zaizai ran to find Xia Mingshuang, tugged at the skirt of her mother's clothes, and looked up at her innocent little face, "Mom, hehe."

This house is not big, so how could Xia Mingshuang not see the little tricks of the children?

She smiled and said, "You can eat the cake first if you want. Then go to your dad to learn something new and memorize it all."

Er Zhuang was eavesdropping on the side, and when he saw this, he immediately led Xiao Zai Zai to find Gu Yunshan.

After Gu Yunshan finished helping Xia Mingshuang, he went to the yard to chop firewood. He took off his cotton-padded clothes and wore a single shirt outside his vest, but he didn't feel cold at all. He doesn't use brute force to chop firewood, but stands the wood upright. When he finds the right spot and puts down the ax, it can become three or four pieces.

Da Zhuang and Gu Nianjun were fascinated by what they saw there and wanted to try it out one after another. But no matter how they found the angle, when they split it into two pieces, they exclaimed that it was magical.

Gu Yunshan smiled and didn't insist on telling them now, just let them study and explore on their own.

Interest is the best teacher, there is nothing special about it.

Erzhuang ran over and asked his father to teach him something new, "My mother said so."

He discovered that his father would listen to whatever his mother said.

Gu Yunshan thought for a while. He had been reading Mao's selected works and decided to teach the children to recite the poems of great men.

When he was a child, he learned Tang poetry and Song lyrics. However, after the education reform started after the movement, those ancient Chinese prose, Tang poetry and Song lyrics were classified as feudal dross and were no longer allowed to be taught in schools. Children are now not exposed to poetry.

He taught them to recite a song "Qinyuan Spring·Snow".

While the children were memorizing it, they were curious about what the Great Wall was and what it looked like.

Gu Yunshan described it to them, and then drew a simple diagram with his pen. He is an engineer and has profound art skills. He has also learned sketching, meticulous painting and some oil painting from professors. It's just that his family is poor and he doesn't have the conditions to buy good paints, so he mainly studies sketching, gongbi, etc.

His hands are very steady when sketching, and he can draw circles, ovals, etc. with his bare hands, not to mention straight lines.

The children exclaimed in surprise, how could this circle be so round?

It looked easy, so they tried to draw it themselves, but no one could draw it so round.

Dad is awesome too!
