Travel back to the 1970s and start as a female textile worker

When he got home, Gu Chun found a lot of wild yams piled up in the yard.

"Qiu'er, what are these wild yams?" she asked Gu Qiu, who was helping Gu Xia dry herbs.

Gu Qiu looked up and said, "Oh, my brother and I picked it from the mountain.

It was said that it could be used as medicine, but only a few tablets were needed, and in the end there was only so much left that could not be used. "

Gu Chun knelt down and took a look at the yams.

They are quite big, and most of the surface layer of soil has been removed.

She went to the kitchen to look again and asked He Ling:

"Auntie, do you have any sugar and glutinous rice flour?"

He Ling didn't ask her what she wanted to do. She went to look for it in the chest of drawers.

"No, there's still a little sugar and glutinous rice flour left."

Gu Chun took it and said, "Auntie, can you help me make something? Do as I say."

He Ling nodded, "Okay, what to do?"

Gu Chun smiled and said, "Yam cake."

He Ling only knows mung bean cake and has never heard of yam cake.

"It's just the pile of yams in the yard. Can it be made into cakes?"

Gu Chun nodded and went to bring in two yams.

"Auntie, I have to peel this, but my hands will itch. Do you have any gloves?"

He Ling smiled and said, "No, I'll peel it, my hands are full of calluses and they won't itch at all.

You little girls with delicate skin and tender flesh, just don’t touch it. "

He Ling took the yam, peeled it, sliced ​​it, and steamed it in a pot as she said.

When it's steamed, add some sugar and press it into puree.

Finally, add the cooked glutinous rice flour and knead it into a shape.

Yam cake does the trick.

When it was ready, everyone in the family just came back.

Gu Chun brought it out for them to try, "How do you like it after eating it?"

Xiao Zhuzi was the first to take a piece and stuff it into his mouth. God knows how long it had been since he had eaten the cakes made by his sister.

He nodded while eating, "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's really delicious."

Seeing him wolfing down the food, Gu Chun quickly poured him a glass of water for fear that he would choke.

"Stop talking and eat slowly."

Gu Qiu also took a bite, "Sister, did you make this with yam?

I can taste the taste of yam, but it's also very soft, sweet and delicious. "

Look, this is the feedback Gu Chun wants.

Her sister still understands her!

As he said that, He Ling brought out another plate.

"Eat again and look at this. I just found some red beans left over from a while ago, made a red bean paste filling, and wrapped it in it."

Gu Chun was pleasantly surprised, her aunt could really draw inferences from one instance.

She was still wondering if just yams would be too boring.

She took a piece, and it was obvious that the second time she did this, the eldest aunt became more skilled in her craftsmanship.

Coupled with the taste of red bean paste, the yam does not add too much sugar, is sweet but not greasy, and tastes rich in texture.

Thinking about the pastries he had eaten in later generations, Gu Chun asked He Ling, "Auntie, do you have any black sesame seeds, hazelnuts, chestnuts, etc. at home? Would it taste better if you added them?"

He Ling thought for a moment and said, "Definitely, but we don't have these things at home now. If you want them, ask your uncle to go to the mountains to pick them for you tomorrow."

Gu Chun was also very interested when he heard about going to the mountains to pick. "Uncle, take me with you tomorrow, okay?"

Uncle Gu did not participate in the discussion, but he would do whatever the women at home asked him to do.

"Okay, I'll take you there tomorrow."

The children raised their hands one after another, "Uncle, we are going too."

Gu Zhenzhu also followed, "Dad, I want to go too."

Although Gu Zhenzhen is also a child in the village, she has never played with so many brothers and sisters.

For her, this was as fun as going on a spring outing with good friends.

Uncle Gu agreed.

Only Gu Xia will continue to go to the free clinic tomorrow, so she won't be able to go.

Xiao Zhuzi shook his head, "Brother, you can't go play, Xiao Zhuzi can, hehe."

Gu Xia couldn't bear to see him being so arrogant, so she grabbed him and hugged him, "Don't even think about running away. You can't go anywhere tomorrow."

Xiao Zhuzi was extremely happy and sad. He couldn't resist with all his strength, so he could only act coquettishly.

"Brother, brother, Xiao Zhuzi is wrong. Just let Xiao Zhuzi go, please."

He twisted around in Gu Xia's arms until he couldn't hold him anymore, so he slapped his butt and said, "Don't move, little fat man."

Xiao Zhuzi got angry and pouted, "It's not the little fat man, it's not the little fat man."

Gu Xia smiled and said, "Are you angry? Okay, okay, you are not a fat man."

Xiao Zhuzi turned her head and ignored him, "Humph."

Gu Xia felt funny in her heart and pinched his little nose.

"Okay, don't be angry, brother won't call you fat boy anymore.

Go pick chestnuts tomorrow. You must pick more for your brother. "

Xiao Zhuzi nodded, "Okay, it's up to you."

I don’t know where I learned the grown-up words, which made everyone laugh.

In the afternoon of the next day, Gu Chun and others followed their uncle into the mountains with their backpacks on their backs.

The little bamboo had short legs and couldn't keep up with the adults, so Uncle Gu put him in his big basket.

This is great fun for little ones, sitting and rocking in the carrier.

He poked his head around and looked around while cheering for his sisters who lacked exercise.

It made Gu Dong want to sit in the backpack.

Uncle Gu was also a doting child. He looked after Gu Dongren, who was the youngest and had short legs. He was afraid that she would be too tired, so he picked her up and walked her away.

Holding one in front and carrying one behind, Uncle Gu can still walk like flying!

This shows how strong this country man is.

Looking at them, Gu Chun sometimes wonders, was her father like this when he was a child, being raised by Uncle Gu on his back?

After entering the mountain, Uncle Gu put the two children down. After enjoying the top treatment, the two were not tired at all and their eyes were bright.

There are several chestnut trees here, and they drop a lot when they mature.

It looks furry on the outside, but actually feels like spikes. The color changes from green to yellow when it is ripe.

There are several chestnuts in a thorn bag.

Those that have already opened their mouths do not need to be opened with hands, just step on them with your feet and they will come out.

There is no need to pick the ones from the trees. The ripe ones falling off the ground alone are enough for them to pick for a long time.

There are many chestnut trees here, all wild.

It can be eaten raw, but few people pick it because it is difficult to peel.

With this time, the villagers will be more willing to pick some wild fruits.

Gu Chun also discovered several hazelnut trees, which looked very similar to chestnuts. They were all wrapped in thorn balls, but the hazelnuts were smaller.

There were no gloves at home, so they only brought a pair of scissors, which were in Uncle Gu's hands.

Others stamped with their feet those who had spoken.

Worried that the two children would prick their hands because they were ignorant, Gu Chun solemnly ordered them,

"You two, don't grab this prickly ball with your hands, otherwise it will bleed and be very painful. Do you understand?"

The two siblings now have a tacit understanding of how to deal with adults, and they answered together, "I know~"

After Gu Chun stepped on a few chestnuts, he picked them up and put them into his backpack.

To be honest, in her previous life, she was envious when she saw videos of others stepping on chestnuts abroad.

This time it was my turn, and I was really happy!

The joy of harvest!

Gu Qiu and Gu Zhenzhu were also very satisfied with their picks. When they found a big one, they called Gu Chun to take a look.

The two children did not have backpacks and could only be placed in the uncle's large backpack.

Xiao Zhuzi competes with Gu Dong to see who can pick up more.

He also warned, "Uncle, I picked these up, don't forget them."

Uncle Gu smiled and nodded, "I know, what uncle has will count as yours later."

Gu Dong pouted, "Uncle, what about me?"

Uncle Gu poured out a bowl of water and said, "You and I will each get half of it."

Now both children are happy.

But have they forgotten that they are now competing to see who has more...

Maybe for children, more important than winning or losing is whether adults can treat them fairly.

They picked up the baskets until they were almost full, and then they went down the mountain and went home.

On the way down, the uncle had to carry a big backpack full of chestnuts.

Gu Chun was afraid that he would crush him and wanted him to reduce his weight.

It was a bit distressing to hear him say that he had carried heavier soil when digging ditches before.

But in the end I couldn't defeat him, and I carried the chestnuts without missing a beat.

Xiao Zhuzi and Gu Dong were very sensible. When they saw the adults carrying heavy chestnuts on their backs, they didn't complain about being tired and walked down the mountain step by step on their own.

On the way, Uncle Gu felt sorry for the child and wanted to hold the child for a while, but they both refused, saying they could do it.

Gu Chun was very pleased that the children she raised were all good babies.

When he got home and put down his things, Gu Chun felt that his shoulders were hurt by the backpack.

The same goes for Gu Qiu and Gu Zhenzhu.

The eldest aunt came out and said, "Oh, why did you pick so many? This thing is too difficult to handle, just pick a few and try it."

Uncle Gu didn't know either, he just listened to Gu Chun.

Gu Chun's eyes were bright, "Auntie, make chestnut cake tomorrow!"
