Rongrong

When I woke up the next day, it was already ten in the morning. I got dressed and prepared to go downstairs to wash up. When I went downstairs, I saw that my parents and my younger brothers and sisters were also up. My younger brothers were watching TV, while my parents were basking in the sun in the yard and chatting with my uncle and aunt.

To the right of Chen Rong's house is her eldest uncle's house, and the two families on the left are her former neighbors in the village, all with the surname Chen. Opposite those two families is her second uncle's house, and her uncles' surname is Huang.

I took out my toothbrush, toothpaste and cup for washing, went to the water pipe in the yard, connected the tap water and brushed my teeth. I took out a towel to wash my face, took out a brown sugar glutinous rice cake and roasted it on the fire for breakfast. After eating the glutinous rice cake, there was nothing to do.

Sitting in the living room watching Tom and Jerry with her younger brothers and sisters, smartphones were not yet popular at that time. Chen Rong only had a small button phone in her hand, which could only make calls and send text messages. It didn't even have QQ.

Seeing it was 11:20, Chen Rong's mother said, "It's already past 11 o'clock, why don't you go wash the rice and cook? Aren't you hungry?"

Seeing this, Chen Rong stood up and said, "Got it. I'll cook it right away." After that, she walked to the kitchen, took out the inner pot of the rice cooker, walked to the rice bucket, took the small bowls for eating, filled three bowls of rice into the inner pot of the rice cooker, took it out to the yard to get tap water to wash the rice, and rubbed it twice with her hands, washing the rice twice.

Take it to the kitchen and wipe the water stains on the outside of the inner pot of the rice cooker with a towel, put the inner pot into the rice cooker, cover it with the lid, plug it in, and press the cook button.

Then he turned around and stretched out in the yard. Seeing this, his mother said, "There are not many vegetables at home. Go pick some peppers, eggplants and green beans from the field."

Chen Rong hummed when she heard that, went into the house, picked up the basket, and then went out and turned left to walk on the small road. In her memory, her parents rented a piece of land and planted some peppers, eggplants, beans, sweet potatoes, radishes and other things. It was not far away, and it took only a few minutes to walk there. She picked some green peppers, 5 large eggplants, a bunch of green beans and 6 cucumbers, filled the basket and went home.

I returned home and took out two vegetable washing basins. I asked my younger brothers and sisters to fold the stems of the peppers and green beans and put them in one basin. I put the cucumbers in another basin, then removed the eggplant stems and put them in the basin to wash them together.

After washing, put the eggplant in a pot, add some tap water and cook it on the induction cooker. You can eat it later by dipping it in chili and water.

Then take out the chopping board and put it on the table, take out the kitchen knife and cut the cucumber into pieces, put them into a small stainless steel bowl, sprinkle with chili powder, add some salt, coriander and soy sauce and mix it cold. In this way, a dish of cold cucumber is ready.

I went out and put the green peppers and green beans prepared by my younger brother and sister into a basin, washed them, and cut them into small pieces. I also took out a few potatoes, peeled them, washed them, and cut them into shreds.

After it was done, I fried green peppers and green beans, green pepper scrambled eggs, and green pepper shredded potatoes. I added some oil residue from the previous oil extraction, which smelled delicious.

Chen Rong shouted in a hoarse voice, just as she remembered: "The food is ready, come and serve the food and eat."

When my younger brothers and sisters heard the noise, they came and brought the dishes, bowls and rice to the living room and took their seats.

Chen Rong filled each bowl with rice. After her younger brothers and sisters brought their bowls to their parents, they took their own. Chen Rong also took her own bowl and sat down with the whole family to have lunch.

Chen Rong ate quickly. After two small bowls of rice, she was full. She went to the kitchen to put the bowl and chopsticks in the basin, then went upstairs and lay down, saying, "Jiujiu, find a bloody novel to read."

I read the novel with Jiujiu for more than an hour, then went downstairs to take out the summer homework from my schoolbag. It gave me a headache reading it. I had already given back all the knowledge I had learned to the teacher!

I did the simple ones I knew, and asked Jiujiu to look up the answers for the ones I didn't know and copy them down. In this way, after a few days, I finished all the summer homework.

After getting up and having lunch, she basked in the sun in the yard for a while. Seeing her father watching TV and her mother embroidering cross stitch, Chen Rong said to her parents: "Mom and Dad, I'm going to go for a walk in the street. Do you want to go?"

Dad and Mom both shook their heads to indicate that they would not go. Dad thought for a moment and took out some money from his pocket. He took out 20 yuan and handed it to Chen Rong, saying, "When you come back, buy me a ticket for the lottery at the welfare lottery store."

Seeing this, Chen Rong took the money and said, "Okay, I'll buy it when I come back." Then she left with the small backpack she bought last time.

Chen Rong's home is in the countryside, a little far from the city. The road she walked down was an old road. She crossed the road and came to a small road. She followed the winding road through the houses and walked to the end, where she reached the new road. She stood and waited for a while, and the bus came. She got on the bus, paid one dollar, found a seat and sat down, looking at the scenery outside along the way. After more than ten minutes, she arrived at the square, and Chen Rong got off the bus at the square.

I went to the underground supermarket and bought some snacks. Then I went to a hamburger shop and ordered a bowl of ice jelly and a serving of French fries. After eating, I sat for a while.

Then I went around and bought some honey bread at the bakery. It was still very cheap at that time, and I could buy a big bag for a few dollars. Then I went to the fruit candy wholesale market and bought some fruit candy for only five dollars.

Afterwards, Chen Rong strolled around and came to the welfare lottery shop. She thought about the original owner's memory, that her father had asked Chen Rong to buy the Double Color Ball several times, but she had never won.

I thought that when school starts, it would be annoying to squeeze into the bus, sometimes I would not be able to catch it, and it would be difficult to pay with my own money.

Chen Rong said, "Jiujiu, can you check if there are any big prizes in the scratch cards in this store?"

Jiujiu: "Those lucky scratch tickets, the one at the bottom can win 20! Rongrong, go buy it quickly."

Chen Rong walked over to the scratch ticket and asked, "Boss, how much is this scratch ticket?"

The boss looked up at Chen Rong and said, "It depends on what kind you want. The small ones like this are 2 yuan, these are yuan, and those are yuan..."

Chen Rong pointed at the lucky scratch ticket and said, "I want this one, and I want all the remaining ones."

The boss took out the scratch tickets and counted them, saying, "There are six in total, five dollars each, a total of 6 dollars."

Chen Rong gave him 30 yuan, took the five scratch tickets and scratched them, only winning a -yuan ticket. She exchanged it with the boss for yuan and went out to take the bus home.

I got off the car, picked up my things and walked slowly home. When I got home, I took out bread and fruit candies for everyone to eat. I took out a scratch-off ticket and gave it to my father and said, "When I went to the lottery store today, I saw someone else win by scratching this scratch-off ticket, so I bought this. Dad, you scratch it and see if you have good luck."

After hearing this, Dad didn't say anything. He went to find a piece of cardboard and sat down. My younger brothers and sisters gathered around him and watched. Dad used the cardboard to scratch the scratch card and looked a little excited.

The third brother said: "I won, I won the prize, 4 zeros, 0!"

Brother and sister: "We won the prize!"

Dad smiled and said, "Keep your voice down and stop making noise."

My mother was also very happy when she heard this, and then the family finished their dinner happily and discussed going to receive the award.

Dad raised his lips and asked Chen Rong: "Where did you buy it? I don't know if you can redeem the prize in his store, or you have to go to the lottery center in the city to redeem the prize."

Chen Rong: "It's next to the vegetable market. Bring your ID card tomorrow and I'll take you there to ask if you can exchange it."

The whole family was so excited that they couldn’t sleep. They watched TV series for a long time and were happy for a long time before going to bed.
