Travel through 1972 with a space mall

Ye Mingyuan went to work. Su Jiao first sent Ye Yaosu to dry vegetables in the yard. She secretly took some yeast from the space and kneaded the noodles, planning to steam multi-grain steamed buns at noon.

She still hasn't learned how to steam steamed buns with old noodles. She tried it once before, but the steamed buns were not good enough and the steamed buns were a bit sour.

Fortunately, she had a cheating tool, otherwise she would have had sour steamed buns at home.

After washing her hands, she took her little helper Ye Yao to feed the chickens, wash the diapers, and tidy up.

She doesn't have to go to work, that's all the work at home, and after she's done, she goes back to the kang. Ye Yao stayed in the yard to play with Hui Hui.

With nothing to do, she took out the coarse cloth and planned to make a schoolbag for Dabao.

Dabao will go to the brigade to study in half a month. A small schoolbag is her school gift for Dabao.

The boxy cloth bag is easy to make and can be ready in less than half an hour.

Su Jiao thought for a while and cut a small piece of cloth to make a small satchel for Ye Yao to carry things when going out.

If you just do it for Dabao, the little guy will be sad.

Ye Yao had finished playing with Hui Hui in the yard and returned to the house. The small satchel in Su Jiao's hand was just short of sewing the strap.

Ye Yao was very happy when she found out about the small satchel Su Jiao had made for her. She watched Su Jiao sewing the straps with bright eyes.

When it was finally ready, she couldn't wait to put it on her body. She spent a long time looking at it. She also put the pen, notebook, and little book into her bag, pretending to go to school and come back from school to play house, and let Su Jiao play house. I acted with her several times.

The two of them were laughing and joking, with a few cries of little meat buns mixed in from time to time, and the whole morning passed like this.

The noodles she had made in the morning were ready, so she went to the kitchen to steam steamed buns for lunch.

After steaming the multi-grain steamed buns, she put them on the curtain and let them cool. Su Jiao used a bit of the meat sauce left over from the morning to make minced eggplant, and fried cucumbers and eggs.

Seeing that it was almost time for the production team to get off work, she planned to go to the captain's house to ask about borrowing a bullock cart tomorrow.

When asking for help, you can't go empty-handed. She opened the kang cabinet to see what she could give away, and found that there was nothing in the cabinet.

The only things left were the two cans Wang Tiantian brought to Ye Yao when she came off work a few days ago and the half-eaten pack of fruit candies.

There is also half a packet of milk powder Meng Long gave before making the pork buns.

She hesitated for a moment, then returned to the east room and secretly took out a small bundle of egg noodles from a bag of five bundles and two kilograms of egg noodles. She discussed it with Ye Yao and grabbed a handful of fruit candies from the kang cabinet. It is wrapped in a bookcase made by Dabao.

Ye Yao was told to look at the little meat buns at home for a while, and she quickly came to the captain's house.

"Auntie, is Uncle Zhisheng at home?" Su Jiao walked through the open door into the courtyard and asked quickly when she heard the sound of the captain's wife cooking in the kitchen.

"It's Jiaojiao, is something wrong?" the captain's wife asked when she saw Su Jiao stop waving the spatula.

Su Jiao said: "Auntie, our family wants to borrow a bullock cart tomorrow, and I want to ask Uncle Zhisheng if there are any arrangements for the bullocks in his team tomorrow."

There was a slight burnt smell coming from the pot, and the captain's wife quickly continued to stir the food in the pot with the spatula and said, "Your uncle is resting on the kang. Go and ask him."

"Hey" Su Jiao responded and entered the room.

"Jiaojiao, do you have something to do with your uncle?"

The production team leader, who was sitting on the edge of the kang smoking a dry cigarette, asked when he saw Su Jiao quickly put out the cigarette in her hand.

The room was very stuffy, and there was no wind in summer. Smoke filled the room and could not be dispersed. Su Jiao choked and coughed several times.

"Uncle, do you have any plans for the cows in our team tomorrow?" Su Jiao tried hard to suppress the itchiness in her throat and asked breathlessly.

"I'm not busy these days. The cows are all idle in the shed. Jiaojiao, do you want to borrow the cow?"

When the production team leader heard Su Jiao coughing, he quickly got off the kang and led her to the yard, talking as he walked.

Finally arriving at the yard, Su Jiao felt that she was finally alive.

She breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Uncle, Mingyuan will be off work tomorrow. He plans to go to the mining area tonight with the team leader and Uncle Zhaoli to buy some coal, and he wants to borrow the cattle from our team.

Mingyuan now works at an agricultural machinery station and doesn't have much time to collect firewood. I also have to take care of my children at home.

It’s impossible to have nothing to keep warm this winter, so we discussed it and decided to bite the bullet and buy some coal, and then take the time to collect some firewood, so that we can survive this winter. "

The production captain nodded and said: "Yes, you two are tired from eating, and there are no elders in the Ye family to help you, so it's a bit difficult.

Mingyuan is now a regular worker at the Agricultural Technology Station, and his life is getting easier and easier. Spending some money to buy some coal means he doesn't have to worry too much.

I will tell Old Chen in the bullpen this afternoon and ask him to prepare in advance. I will definitely not delay your use. "

"Okay, thank you, uncle." Su Jiao responded with a smile and handed the fifty cents to the production team leader.

The oxen in the team are the public property of all members. Borrowing an oxcart also requires payment and application and goes to the team's public account.

After the matter was discussed, the captain's wife also came out of the kitchen after cooking.

Su Jiao quickly took out the noodles and candies from her schoolbag and gave them to her.

"Oh, you kid, what are you doing!"

The captain's wife looked at the thing in her hand and was stunned for two seconds before reacting, and quickly stuffed it into Su Jiao's hand.

Su Jiao didn't want to continue pushing and pulling with her, so she nimbly avoided her hand and ran away in a hurry on the grounds that Ye Yao was still at home waiting for her to eat.

When Su Jiao got home, she dusted her clothes vigorously and made sure there was no cigarette smell before entering the house.

I had lunch and took a nap, and Little Roubao just woke up and had some milk.

Su Jiao saw that she had no intention of sleeping anymore, so she put him in a small bag, wrapped him in a small blanket and brought two diapers, then she carried him and Ye Yao to the Su family's house to give Dabao a school bag.

When Mother Su saw the little meat bun, she immediately hugged him and kissed him.

Dabao had just woken up and hadn't gone out to play yet. When she saw the new schoolbag Su Jiao had made for her, she happily held it in her arms and jumped up.

"Jiaojiao, it would be nice to have some cloth to make some small clothes for the little meat bag. Dabao is going to go to elementary school. I don't know if he can learn anything. There is no use for a schoolbag. Take it back and take it apart to make clothes. "Okay." Sister-in-law Su said sheepishly, and after speaking, she stretched out her belly and reached for the schoolbag in Dabao's hand.

When Dabao saw his mother's "devil's claws" reaching out to him, he was frightened and jumped up behind Su Jiao holding his schoolbag.

He said angrily: "My aunt gave this to me."

Su Jiao lowered her head and touched Dabao's little melon-skinned head to comfort him.

He smiled and said to Sister-in-law Su: "Little Roubao's clothes are enough.

Our Dabao is not here to play, but to study seriously. Of course, we must have a new schoolbag to hold books. "

"Dabao, is what my aunt said right?"

"Yes, I will study hard and be the first."

Dabao was afraid that the schoolbag he had just received would fly away, so he quickly patted his chest and promised.

Mother Su walked around the yard holding the little meat buns. As soon as she entered the house to put the little meat buns on the kang, she heard Dabao's heroic words.

He immediately started scolding: "Are you telling lies before you go to school? No one likes children who tell lies and lie, and they don't expect you to be the first in the exam. Don't go to school for a few years like your father. Thank God for the countdown..."

Seeing Dabao lowering his head lower and lower, Su Jiao quickly tugged on Su's mother's clothes and signaled her to stop talking.

Mother Su immediately stopped talking, turned around, put the little meat bun in her arms on the kang, sat on it and continued to care about it.

Su Jiao raised Dabao's little head, smiled and encouraged: "Aunt believes in Dabao.

If Dabao wins first place then, my aunt will still get a reward.

Not only the first place, but also the top five will be rewarded. The better the test, the more rewards. "

"I will study hard and I want a reward." Dabao said happily, clenching his fists.

"Sister-in-law, I will also study hard, and I also want rewards." Ye Yao, who had been watching the excitement for a long time, couldn't help it, and quickly stepped forward and pulled the hem of Su Jiao's clothes and raised her head to look cute.

"Okay, okay, yes, yes. At the end of the year, my sister-in-law will also take Yaoyao's exam. If Yaoyao does well, there will be rewards."

The two little guys went completely crazy. They came together and jumped hand in hand, as if they had been rewarded.

"Just pamper them." Mother Su looked up at the two happy cubs and shook her head with a smile.

"Mom, Mingyuan is going to the mining area with Uncle Zhaoli and the others tonight to buy coal. Do you want to buy some at home?"

Su Jiao also took off her shoes and got on the kang and asked.

Mother Su said hurriedly: “It’s enough to burn firewood at home, there’s no need to buy coal.

Why do you think of buying coal? No firewood at home? When your father and brother get off work, I'll ask them to send a truck over. "

"We still have firewood at home now. Isn't it because Mingyuan has no time to go to work? I don't have time to prepare firewood for the winter, so I just spend some money to buy some coal to save time, effort and burn resistance."

"Child Mingyuan, you want to buy coal? He didn't even mention it when he gave me watermelon last night.

I have known for a long time that you will not have time to prepare firewood for the winter this year. I have discussed with your father a few days ago and asked your brother and the others to get an extra portion when they go to collect firewood in the future.

What kind of coal are you buying? It's a waste of money. If you have this money, you can keep it and buy more meat. "

When Su Jiao heard this, she immediately glanced at Sister-in-law Su and found that there was nothing unusual on her face, and she nodded in agreement.

Su Jiao smiled and said, "Mom, my brother and the others are very tired from work, and they have to collect so much firewood, which will be too much for their bodies.

Besides, Yuan Yuan had already found the branch secretary to get a letter of introduction, borrowed the bullock cart, and paid the money. "

Su's mother compromised and said: "You are stubborn and stubborn. Mom can't help you. Now that we have agreed, let's buy it. I will ask your third brother to take leave tomorrow and go with Mingyuan."

"Okay." Su Jiao responded with a smile without any politeness.

The mining area is far away, and it takes three or four hours to go by bullock cart. To buy coal from the mining area, you have to leave at two or three in the middle of the night. You have to line up in advance, and you have to shovel the coal into the cart by yourself. Su Jiao is worried if Ye Mingyuan goes there by himself. .

After staying at Su's house until five o'clock, it was time to go home and prepare dinner. Su Jiao hugged the little meat buns and took Ye Yao, who was showing off her schoolbags with Goudan Yaya at the door with Dabao, and went home.

For dinner, Su Jiao specially baked pure white flour leek and egg pie. Ye Mingyuan and Su Sange were leaving in the early morning. They would definitely not be able to eat breakfast at home, and they probably wouldn't be back for lunch. She planned to make more for them. Eat on the road.

Ye Mingyuan came back much later than usual at night, and didn't come back until nearly seven o'clock.

What I brought back together were six large watermelons weighing about ten kilograms each.

"Buy so many?" Su Jiao asked, looking at the piles of watermelons on the floor of the east room.

The two watermelons he brought back yesterday were small watermelons weighing four to five pounds. The one he brought back today was not only twice the size, but also tripled in quantity.

Ye Mingyuan explained: "It's troublesome to go back and forth to buy them. Uncut watermelons are not easy to spoil. So I just picked up a few big ones and bought a few more. After dinner, I will give two more to my parents."

"Third brother will take leave tomorrow and will not go to work. I will go with you to buy coal tonight. Uncle Zhaoli and the captain must have more than one person there. I don't feel comfortable if you go by yourself."

Back in the kitchen, Su Jiao poured water into the basin and asked Ye Mingyuan to wash his hands.

"Okay." Ye Mingyuan responded sweetly while washing his hands.

The leek and egg pie made by Su Jiao was undoubtedly praised by Ye Mingyuan and Ye Yao.

After dinner, Ye Mingyuan went to Su's house to deliver watermelons and stopped by the party secretary's house to get a letter of introduction.

Su Jiao put 10 pies, a small can of pickled cucumbers, and two cans of water into the cloth bag that Ye Mingyuan usually brought with him.

After Ye Mingyuan came back, the family took a shower and went to bed early.

At one o'clock in the morning, Su Jiao woke up when she heard Ye Mingyuan getting up.

After helping him check what he needed to bring and sending him out, Su Jiao went back to the house and went to sleep.

When Su Jiao got up at around eight o'clock in the morning, she sat up sleepily with two big dark circles under her eyes, a look of despair on her face.

After Ye Mingyuan set off in the middle of last night, she didn't sleep much.

Little Roubao, this little bad guy, had a bowel movement, peed, and was hungry again.

Every time she felt like she had just fallen asleep, she would be woken up by crying. Ye Yao was also woken up several times. When she woke up, she not only did not fall asleep but also sensiblely helped change diapers twice.

She finally understood how difficult it was for her family to live in Mingyuan.

When he was at home, he changed all the diapers of Little Roubao.

Except for two or three times every night, she would sit up against Ye Mingyuan to feed her while being confused. She would turn over and go back to sleep regardless of the other times when the little meatball cried for peeing.

"Yao Yao, what do you want for breakfast?" Su Jiao rubbed her face vigorously, cheered up and asked Ye Yao, who had the same dull look on her face.

"I like everything my sister-in-law cooks." Ye Yao shook her head and said listlessly.

"Yao Yao, you can sleep a little longer. My sister-in-law will prepare breakfast and call you."

Seeing Ye Yao's sleepy and pitiful appearance made Su Jiao heartbroken.

Seeing Ye Yao lying down and sleeping obediently, Su Jiao got off the kang to wash up and wake up.

I remembered yesterday’s promise to eat pimple soup and scallion pancakes this morning.

I took four cakes from the space and made half a pot of pimple soup.

After breakfast, Su Jiao asked Ye Yao to catch up on her sleep. She tidied up the house and went to sleep on the kang for a while.

After Ye Yao had had enough sleep at around ten o'clock, Su Jiao took her and Xiao Rou Bao to the Su house with half a pack of milk powder and a few diapers from the kang cabinet.

She happened to have her bicycle at home today, and she planned to go to the county town. The cabbage and radishes at home had not been planted yet. She wanted to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some seeds, and by the way, she took some things from the space to improve the food at home.

It was almost noon now, and she would not be able to come back until the afternoon, so she wanted to leave Xiao Rou Bao and Ye Yao at Su's house for Mother Su to take care of.

Dabao had not come back from playing. Su Jiao told her to come to Su's house for dinner at noon, and then let her go out to play with Dabao.

He went to the west room and put the little meat buns in her mother's arms. She told her mother that she was going to the county town. When the meat buns were hungry, she made some milk powder to feed him. Then she turned around and came to Sister-in-law Su in the east room.

Su Jiao asked Sister-in-law Su who was on the kang: "Sister-in-law, have you prepared the pens and notebooks Dabao uses for school? If not, I will go to the county town and buy them together later."

"No, I originally planned to ask someone in the village to go to the county town to help buy it in the past few days. Then Jiaojiao, you can go to the county town and help buy it."

Sister-in-law Su opened the kang cabinet, took out two cents and handed it to Su Jiao and said.

Su Jiao was not polite and reached out to take the money and put it in her pocket.

Although she was not short of these two cents, the gift she gave was a gift, and helping to carry things was carrying things. They were different in nature and could not cross the line.
