Travel through 1972 with a space mall

A few days passed by, and the wing room and bath room of their house were built, and the kang in the wing room was also set up. All that was left was to install the doors and windows.

The doors, windows and the Kang cabinet in the wing were all made by Uncle Zhikai. They were not ready yet and would not be delivered until the afternoon. Li Shoucai and the others went back first and finished the work after the doors and windows were in place in the afternoon.

Near noon, Su Jiao was knitting a vest on the kang when Su Caixia arrived carrying a hemp bag with a basket on her back, bringing half a basket of hazelnuts, pine nuts, pecans and more than half a bag of dried mushrooms and wild vegetables.

There are so many things, and the volume of wild vegetables and fungi will shrink significantly when dried, and only about two or three taels of a pound of dried fungi will be left. It takes a lot of wild vegetables and fungi to produce these dry goods.

Su Jiao hurriedly said: "Sister Caixia, why did you bring so much? It's going to be cold soon. You can take it back and keep it for winter."

Su Caixia stretched out her clothes that were wrinkled by the basket on her back, sat on the edge of the Kang and said with a smile: "There are still some at home. You have a little meat bun this year, so you will definitely not be able to take it off and go into the mountains. It just so happens that I want to go into the mountains too, so I dug some for you by the way, but it’s not much, you just keep it to eat.”

Su Jiao was moved and said: "My mother also sent a lot. There is enough food for the house."

Su Caixia said cheerfully: "Keep that too, it's all dried in the sun, it's durable, keep it and eat it slowly."

Su Caixia looked at the little meat bun who was awake, playing with the little toys on the kang, and looked at the babbling little meat bun with a longing look on his face.

Oops, something happened!

Seeing her expression, Su Jiao raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Sister Caixia, why do I think you've been looking so happy lately and you're dating someone?"

Su Caixia immediately became shy, blushed and stuttered: "Ah?! No, it's nothing."

Seeing Su Jiao's teasing and disbelieving expression, she blushed and whispered: "We're not talking about a date yet! He told me that he wants to talk to me about a date. I'm still considering it, but we may not be suitable for each other. I plan to tell him when I get a chance!" Yue said, his face began to look disappointed.

When Su Jiao heard that it was obvious that the man liked her, she became even more enthusiastic. She looked like she was about to start talking about gossip: "Who is it? Are you here? How are you? Why is it inappropriate?"

After Su Caixia answered all her questions one by one, Su Jiao fell silent, and then she realized why Su Caixia was so hesitant.

She didn't expect that the person who fell in love with Su Caixia was the promise from the educated youth spot. Su Jiao was a little speechless. How come her family always had emotional entanglements with people from the educated youth spot.

I heard from Su Caixia that the two met in the back mountain. They first sprained their feet when Xu Nuo was collecting firewood in the back mountain. Su Caixia happened to meet her and helped carry the firewood down. Xu Nuo expressed her gratitude. After a few days, she During the day off, I went to give Su Caixia a piece of white bread bought at a state-owned restaurant.

Later, the two of them met several times by chance, and after talking a few times, they became familiar with each other. When they met Su Caixia on the mountain, Xu Nuo would also take the initiative to help. A few days ago, just after the autumn harvest, Xu Nuo suddenly I approached Su Caixia and expressed her willingness to talk to her about a partner and asked her to think about it.

Su Caixia also has a good impression of Xu Nuo, but she is very clear-headed, so she has great concerns in her heart. Firstly, it is because their family conditions are very different. Secondly, she also has a mother and grandmother who are holding her back, so she is afraid. Drag commitment.

After Su Jiao listened, she didn't say anything to encourage her to bravely pursue happiness. Instead, she immediately found a different topic.

The problems Su Caixia thought about were very realistic, and Xu Nuo's family was still from out of town, so she didn't know the roots. Now that she has made her decision, don't say anything to disturb her.

And others don’t know that Su Jiao knows that the educated youth will return to the city in a few years. If the two of them really get married, who knows whether Xu Nuo will abandon his wife and children by then. Su Caixia has already suffered enough, and it’s not easy for her to return to the city again. Standing up, Su Jiao didn't dare to think about the consequences if she was hit again.

After sending Su Caixia away, Su Jiao lost her energy in knitting sweaters and sighed heavily. What's the matter?

After waking up from a nap, Su's mother also came over. Su's mother was worried and insisted on standing guard for the last shift and watching with her own eyes to secure the doors and windows.

The two brothers from the Su family didn't come, so it didn't take that many people to install the doors and windows. They went up the mountain to collect firewood.

It was easy to install doors and windows, there wasn’t much noise, and Su Jiao didn’t bring little meat buns to Su’s house.

Instead, I started thinking about preparing dinner’s dishes.

Although it had been agreed that they would only pay for the work but not the food, Su Jiao was really satisfied with the house being built. She had seen it and found that both the house and the kang were done with great care.

So she planned to treat a few people to dinner after installing the doors and windows in the afternoon.

Su Jiao had almost prepared dinner when Ye Mingyuan got off work.

The two brothers from the Su family also came back from collecting firewood. They brought another load of firewood and were helping to put it away in the woodshed.

Ye Mingyuan looked around the shower room and the side room, then told Su Jiao to take the money and the two packs of cigarettes prepared for the production team leader in advance and go directly to the production team leader to settle the bill.

When I came back, I also invited a few people who helped build the house.

For dinner, Su Jiao made a pot of stew with beans, eggplants, peppers, potatoes, and about three ounces of thinly sliced ​​pork belly. She picked up a few radishes in the private plot and mixed them with a rib of about half a pound chopped into small pieces to stew the ribs. For soup, three eggs are fried in a small pot of cucumber and eggs. The main dish is corn tortillas mixed with a little white flour.

Not much meat is used in each dish, but they all look oily and watery, and they are already very tasty.

The few people who helped build the house were very satisfied with their food, and when they left, they even said hello to them if they had anything to do, and they were absolutely unambiguous.

In the evening, after the whole family had tidied up and lay on the kang, Su Jiao asked how much it had cost to build the house.

Ye Mingyuan put his hand on her waist and rubbed it gently, and said in a low voice: "The total cost of materials and labor costs was 104 yuan."

Su Jiao quickly held down his hand and rolled her eyes. This is business, so don't touch him.

"Daughter-in-law." Ye Mingyuan rubbed the top of her head and shouted pitifully.

Su Jiao stretched out her hand and pinched his waist "savagely" and said: "I just gave birth to a little bun. Please take it easy. I can finally go out. I don't want to be trapped at home for a few more months."

"Oh!"

An aggrieved voice came from above her head. Su Jiao thought he was being honest, so she moved around to find a comfortable position, closed her eyes and prepared to sleep.

"Daughter-in-law, I will pay attention to you later and I won't get pregnant."

"Ah?! Um..."

Before Su Jiao asked her question, she was blocked by Ye Mingyuan.

She also protested a few times, but after a few times, she was no match for him and agreed without any hope.
